Zhong Song's face and body were gray and abrupt, and the corners of his pants were covered with mud, and he couldn't see the proud appearance of the spring breeze a few days ago.

Walking into the cave, the table was full of maps and telephones, and his commanders at all levels were waiting for him, he kept walking around the table, and when he saw something unpleasant, he kicked it over, and when he saw that the division commander was angry, the generals stood up straight one by one, and none of them dared to speak.

Zhong Song walked around a few times and suddenly said: "The communist army is cunning, hateful, the communist army is the most cunning enemy in the world, the common people in northern Shaanxi are as hateful as the communist army, they are all red by the communist party, we can't find the common people who can lead the way, we can only rely on the map to fight, but there are many places on the map that are different from the real geography, and we have taken too many unjust roads." ”

An officer said: "Division, we are already surrounded by the communist army, you should make up your mind as soon as possible, should we take advantage of the fact that the communist army is still unstable and concentrate all our forces to rush out." ”

Zhong Song interrupted the officer and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is too early to say that we are surrounded by the communist army, we can only say that we are in danger of being surrounded by the communist army, I have ordered Liu Ziqi to lead the 123rd Brigade to return to reinforcements quickly, as long as the 123rd Brigade can return to the formation, I don't believe that the communist army can eat our 36th Division." ”

Another officer said: "Division, the communist army is very cunning in fighting, they will not let the 123rd Lushun lì come back to help, maybe they have already arranged reinforcements on the way." ”

Zhong Song: "Everyone, don't be frightened by the communist army, how many people can there be in the communist army?" Their intention now is to concentrate their forces and eat our division in one bite, what strength is there to deal with the 123rd Brigade? If the communist army departs a large number of troops to deal with the 123rd Brigade, what strength will they have to surround the main force of our 36th Division. ”

Another officer said: "It would be great if Commander Liu Kan could put the interests of the party and the state first and lead his Yan'an Corps to follow behind the 123rd Brigade and move closer to us, not only will we be foolproof, but it is also possible to counter-encircle the communist army and completely destroy the communist army in the northwest. ”

Zhong Song: "The heavy rain is blocked, I can't act, I will remember this Liu Kan, the interests of our party-state will be corrupted in the hands of such a person, Chief Hu has already telegraphed to him, if he retards any longer, preserves his strength, and delays the fighter, he will be sent to a military court for trial."

Ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of prudence, we will hold out in Shajiadian for two days, and actively hold on to and wait for reinforcements, and I will emphasize again that we are actively holding on and waiting for reinforcements, and order the troops to seize the commanding heights around Shajiadian, and not let go of a single hill, don't the communist army want to eat our division? Let them gnaw mountain by mountain, I want to see how hard the communist army really is, to see if their heads are made of iron. ”

Zhong Song, who threw off his coat and sat on the marching bed, took a sip of the water handed over by the guards, took a few breaths, then stood up violently, and shouted hysterically: "Send a report to the 123rd Brigade, order Liu Ziqi to return to help overnight, and move closer to the main force of the division at any cost, and move closer to us at any cost." ”

Under the cover of various firepower, the enemy's 123rd Brigade frantically pounced on the position of our 2nd Regiment under the cover of various firepower, and the enemy took battalions as units, each battalion opened a distance of several hundred meters, and carried out an uninterrupted wave-like charge against our position.

Commander Zhao held his position with two battalions, and held on to one battalion as a reserve, the battle was extremely cruel, our army fought for more than half a month, and the personnel and ammunition were not replenished, and the whole regiment had only more than 1,100 people in the absence of a special service battalion, and there was a shortage of ammunition, each soldier only had a dozen bullets and a few grenades, and every time he repelled an attack of the enemy, he had to carry out a short counter-charge, and picked up ammunition from the enemy's corpse to prepare for the next battle.

However, in this way, our soldiers are often exposed to the enemy's cover fire, and every time a counter-charge is carried out, some soldiers will be killed and wounded, and the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, and Commander Zhao is anxious, but there is no good way, and the battle without ammunition will become more and more difficult.

The battle lasted from four o'clock in the morning to the afternoon, the enemy became more and more crazy, Liu Ziqi, the commander of the 123rd Brigade, was not a fool, he knew very well in his heart that the main force of the division had been surrounded by the Eighth Route Army, if he did not break through, and when the communist army eliminated the main force of the division, he would turn back and clean up his 123rd Brigade.

The casualties of the second regiment under the enemy's frenzied attack were getting heavier and heavier, and a battalion of the reserve was put into battle at noon, and when the battle reached the afternoon, there were not enough personnel on the position, and in the afternoon, Regiment Commander Zhao also put the guard company and the reconnaissance company in the front-line position, and temporarily formed a new company of the staff officers, communications, sanitation, and cooking personnel of the regiment headquarters, led by himself, and prepared to use them at the most critical time.

The fighters ran out of bullets with grenades, grenades with stones, and then even the stones on the mountain ran out, and the enemy under the mountain was organizing a new attack, and the battle had reached the most difficult stage.

If his second regiment can't stop the enemy's 123rd Brigade, it will bring huge trouble to the main force besieging the 36th Division, and if the pocket of the 36th Division will be broken open, and the surrounded enemy will run away.

If this is the case, it will be broken, and the efforts of the troops in these days will be in vain, and the entire campaign operation of the field army will be bankrupt.

Only by eliminating the most rampant 36th Division can it be possible to turn the tide of the war, and he is now responsible for the entire campaign, for the situation in the northwest, and for the interests of the party.

Regiment Commander Zhao took a sip of water from the guard's hand and asked a cadre beside him: "How many people are there in our regiment?" The cadre replied with some hesitation: "I just counted it, and there are less than 600 people who can continue to fight." ”

Regiment Leader Zhao's face twitched, and his heart felt like he had been cut by a knife, and he shouted loudly: "When is it, tell me the truth, what is less than six hundred, how many people are there in our group?" ”

The cadre opened his mouth, and finally said, "I just counted, and there are still five hundred and twenty-one people who can pick up guns." ”

Commander Zhao's heart is like a knife, these people are all good soldiers of their own, they are all soldiers brought out by themselves, they are the backbone of the army, some soldiers have been by their side for many years, what good soldiers they are! Like a brother to yourself, damn ammunition, when will you fight a war without worrying about ammunition? If there was enough ammunition, the casualties of the soldiers would be much smaller.

A cadre next to him said: "It would be nice if the special service battalion was there, and their battalion would carry at least 200 rounds of ammunition per soldier, and there would be a baggage platoon with a reserve of food and ammunition." ”

Commander Zhao: "Their task is not easy, the work of covering is all nine deaths, and now they can't be contacted, so they can't be counted on." ”

After speaking, Regiment Commander Zhao walked into the trench and shouted to the soldiers: "Comrades, the enemy wants to break through our position to reinforce the 36th Division, can we agree?" ”

The fighters shouted: "Regiment commander, the people are in the position, we are fighting with the enemy." Commander Zhao: "Comrades, my position is here, if the enemy wants to break through our position, he has to step over our corpses, all of them, put on bayonets, and if the enemy comes up again, he will stab the enemy with bayonets." ”

The regiment commander Zhao Jin picked up a rifle from the corpse of the sacrificed soldier beside him, pressed the bayonet and held it in his hand, and then lay down in the front trench like the soldiers.
