Chapter Ninety-Two: Turning Defeat into Victory?
The Japanese attack was repulsed again without exception. Gao Yongxiang dropped the gun. Sitting in a crater, I looked around. In the battle just now, two or three hundred more cadet soldiers fell permanently on this river beach. Of course, their sacrifice was worth it, because they cost the Japanese at least double.
The guard platoon commander ** had been guarding his side, and when he saw the brigade seat sitting down, he crawled over and handed over a cigarette. Gao Yongxiang took it, and then subconsciously touched his pocket, but failed to find the lighter. Later, he remembered that his lighter had been taken by Chi Guanxing.
Seeing this, he stretched out his hand and lit his own lighter.
The flames flashed, and he saw the deep brows and the face full of melancholy in the brigade, and said, "Brigade, why don't you take this opportunity to withdraw!?" ”
Gao Yongxiang glared at him and said in a hoarse voice: "Withdraw? Isn't that just the wish of the little devil? At that time, as long as the dog day holds the machine gun for a sudden burst, we will not even have the ability to fight back. ”
Hey smiled.
In the middle of the battle, the smoky cadet became the most popular. After a brutal and bloody battle, smoking a cigarette is undoubtedly the best enjoyment at this moment. Gao Yongxiang took a deep puff of cigarette, and then slowly exhaled it. He turned his head and looked at the direction of the retreat of the Japanese army, and with a force of his right hand, he actually crushed the cigarette butt.
Seeing this, he sighed silently and handed one over again.
It is definitely impossible to withdraw, and if you insist on it yourself, you will be able to have more time to prepare - Gao Yongxiang insisted on not withdrawing, in fact, mainly because of this reason. When he was on the raft, he did not have such a deep feeling as a bystander, and after personally commanding a battle, he now fully understood the strategic intentions of the Japanese army. The Japanese army had an absolute numerical superiority, and as long as they wanted to, they could completely finish in one battle. But the Japanese army did not do this, the reason for this, on the one hand, is related to the fact that the Japanese army is not good at night fighting, but Gao Yongxiang prefers to believe that it is for other reasons.
The Hatian detachment appeared too suddenly, and the encounter between the two sides seemed to be an encounter, but the Hatian detachment arrived a little earlier, so the student army became the ambushed party. But when you think about it from the perspective of the Japanese, there are a few doubts. If it was really an encounter, then there was nothing to worry about, even if the 36th Brigade was completely exhausted, it would not affect the entire battle situation. But if you think about it a little, this reason doesn't hold. Because of one thing obviously, the Hatada detachment could not have appeared here for no reason. It's just that they came to reinforce the 106th Division, or because they got information and mastered the action plan of the 36th Brigade, so they ambushed here in advance - and whatever the reason, the next move of the Japanese was definitely to occupy Jiujiang.
As long as Jiujiang was occupied, the Japanese army would have an additional route to attack Madang, and even be able to abandon the attack on the downstream and switch to the upstream......
Gao Yongxiang was frowning and thinking about this question, and Ye Zhao had already led people to wade into the water and appeared behind them.
"Master!"
"The division seat is here!"
"It's the master's seat!"
"Brothers, the division seat is here!"
Most of the fighters' performances were pleasantly surprised, and many were moved to tears. They know the strength of the troops, and now in this situation, even if all the brothers in Jiangnan come over, they will not be able to send them to death. And if they hold the south bank, with the artillery in their hands and the Yangtze River natural danger, the chances of survival are much higher.
Ye Zhao smiled and greeted the soldiers: "Brothers, good job!" "Xiao Zhang, are you kid still alive?!" Good! "Gu Changyun, how many devils did you kill? Thirteen? Really? Oh! Attaboy! ”…… Three minutes later, the battle began again. The Japanese army launched a new ** trend, and this time, it was still the size of a brigade.
When Gao Yongxiang got the news, Ye Zhao and the others had already entered the battle position. Because the rafts were all in Jiangbei, Gao Yongxiang didn't expect the master to come over. When he heard the news, he was moved, sad, and even a little angry. He ran over quickly, pulled Ye Zhao down in the sound of the grenade breaking through the air, and asked, "Master, why are you here!" Now this situation ......" His tone seemed a little anxious, in fact, if Ye Zhao was not his commander, he would definitely curse at this moment.
He insisted on coming over knowing that the size of the Japanese army in Jiangbei far exceeded his own, just to buy time for the troops in Jiangnan to buffer. However, Ye Zhao brought so many people over, so what should Jiujiang do? In addition, the battle has been fought so far, and the 36th Brigade has already lost two and a half regiments, and if the battle continues, the officers and men of the 36th Brigade on the north bank will definitely be exhausted. Originally, even so, he was not afraid - there was also a battalion of officers and soldiers of the 36th Brigade on the north bank, and relying on them, the 36th Brigade could be rebuilt after learning from them. But obviously, Ye Zhao brought so many people over, that battalion must have also come, and if this battalion is also exhausted, then the 36th Brigade will be exhausted. According to the rules of the trade, the General Headquarters of the Cadet Corps will cancel the 36th Brigade at that time. If things really develop to this point, it will be the biggest regret of his Gao Yongxiang's life.
Ye Zhao didn't let him finish his words, he glared at Gao Yongxiang coldly and said, "What? Listen to what you mean, we must lose this battle? You kid give me a little ambition, okay? When did we learn from the army, when did the whole army be wiped out in a brigade-level establishment? How? You kid wants to set this precedent. ”
"No, division, isn't there still a battalion of us on the south bank?"
"Do you think there is any difference between a brigade and a battalion being wiped out? Yongxiang, take a good look, today I will teach you how to fight this kind of headwind battle! ”
Gao Yongxiang looked at him and felt confused for a while. He looked around and found that the new soldiers were not only the troops directly under the division headquarters, but also the officers and soldiers of his own battalion, and there were some people he didn't know, like people from the security forces of the national government. How can it be? Division, to be honest with you, the devil on the other side is at least the formation of a brigade. I even suspect that this is the Hatada detachment, which has been disappearing all along. ”
"Those Taiwanese guys? Not like. It may be impossible to turn defeat into victory, but I must at least make the devil commander on the other side regret this decision! Yongxiang, listen to me, when you repel this round of attacks from the devils, you immediately retreat to the boat with the others, and then go to the center of the river-"
Ye Zhao was interrupted by Gao Yongxiang before he finished speaking, and the latter shouted in a rough voice: "Master, absolutely not." And he said, "What are you kidding?" You are the head of a division, how could I put you in such a desperate situation and escape your life?! ”
