243. Fight every day
Both sides want to calculate each other, causing the situation on the battlefield to change rapidly.
Bai Shujie calculated that the enemy would definitely engage in ghosts, and he also made careful arrangements, but "a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts!" "Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that the South Manchurian area is full of caves! There are two infantry companies in the village on the surface, but in fact, Shao Benliang, an old bandit, was born in a cave, and his feeling for the mountains is better than a dog's nose.
Since Shao Benliang chose the place of Yangjiabao, he not only set up a bait, but also arranged a big trap!
Wang Sanju took five fighters to cover alternately, fighting and retreating, but before he could run out of five hundred meters, a few covers were suddenly lifted at the foot of the mountain on the west side, and more than two hundred people emerged from the ground.
Wang Sanju and the six of them are completely encircled! Seven or eight hundred people surrounded him, and the situation naturally took a sharp turn for the worse.
Just when the enemy's encirclement was about to close, the mortar of the rescue ground finally sounded again at the most critical moment, and this time the number of shells seemed to be unlimited, focusing on bombarding the enemy emerging from the west side, opening a passage for Wang Sanju and them.
When Wang Sanju and the others rushed out of more than 300 meters, Lu Wanqing's voice came from the dense forest on the west side: "Squad leader Wang, you continue to retreat backwards and set up a temporary position two hundred meters away, and leave it to me here!" ”
Thank God! Wang Sanju wiped a cold sweat: Lao Tzu's life is a great blessing, and he finally rushed out!
Hearing Lu Wanqing's voice, Wang Sanju finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If it is half a minute late, Lao Tzu's fate will definitely be more tragic than Erleng!" ”
After Wei Chong's round of bombardment at any cost, the enemy's offensive was paused, and Wang Sanju and they finally had a chance to breathe. Desperately ran out for more than 200 meters, and when he found a small steep hurdle, he stopped and gasped.
The little devil pressed the formation behind, and the more than 600 puppet troops were divided into four echelons and continued to rush forward, and they were not far in front of Lu Wanqing. In order to increase the firepower, the little devil also set up three mortars and began to bombard Wang Sanju's temporary position.
"One machine gun disrupts the enemy's charging formation, two machine guns hit the artillery of the little devils, fire!"
Lu Wanqing seized the opportunity of Zuihou, and just as the first test shot of the little devil was discharged, three machine guns suddenly swept over, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly knocked the enemy on his back!
"Retreat!" After a bullet fight in dozens of seconds, Lu Wanqing let out a low roar, and the six people turned around and ran.
Wei Chong's mortar was just right, and he started another round of interdictive shelling, gaining an opportunity for Lu Wanqing and others to get rid of the enemy. The enemy and us fought with wits and courage, and they were entangled in the ravine less than three kilometers from Yangjiabao to Shiha Village.
can only entangle, Wei Chong and all of them combined, there are only 20 people. If he wanted to fight head-on with seven or eight hundred enemies, Wei Chong did not have the guts. It's not that he's afraid of death, but it's not necessary at all, and it's not the content of tactical arrangements. His mission is to provoke the enemy so much that he will try to catch up with him.
The dense rain of machine-gun bullets and the indiscriminate bombardment of mortar shells at any cost finally made the enemy make an accurate judgment: "Judging from the number of machine guns and mortars of the enemy in front of you, the number should be more than one company, and there is also an artillery platoon to strengthen the firepower." can resist the impact of hundreds of people, it should be the bandits who make trouble in Lianshan Pass! ”
"Killing-" The leader of the devil squad also saw this, if he let a group of enemies escape from the hands of more than 800 people, the face of the Great Japanese Imperial Army would be lost. Therefore, he pulled out his command knife and roared wildly: "Destroy the hateful Shina people and avenge the captain!" ”
Now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is natural that the morale is high. Because the enemy's mortars have not hit for a long time, and it is not good that there are no shells. At this time, it was time to beat the water dogs, and hundreds of people hula all rushed up at once.
Is Wei Chong out of shells? How is that possible! Because he also needed to retreat, there was no time to fire shells. Previously, Lu Wanqing took five soldiers and did not turn around and run away in the face of seven or eight hundred devils, which shows that such a person is indeed a little courageous. That being the case, there is no need to use artillery as infantry.
"Lao Lu, you are a professional artilleryman, from now on you will command the artillery, and Wang Sanju and I will take turns to drag the enemy. There is only one basic requirement, not to let the enemy stick too tightly, but also not to beat the enemy back. How to do it, you can see how to do it yourself. Lamei's radio followed the artillery movements, reporting on our battle at any time. ”
As soon as it was delayed, the enemy on the opposite side thought that Wei Chong had no shells, so he was extremely arrogant. Whether it was a puppet army turned into bandits, or a real little devil, they rushed up one by one with a scream.
"Hit!"
There are so many enemies that you can't get too close. When he was three hundred meters away, Wang Sanju had already given the order to open fire.
After a fight of bullets, the enemy had already rushed to about two hundred meters. Wang Sanju found that the three machine guns fired 90 rounds, probably killing and wounding four or five people. It seems that shooting at a long distance, this hit rate, there is no hit rate!
"Retreat! Damn, these eight calves are still energetic! ”
As soon as Wang Sanju's gunfire stopped, Lu Wanqing's three shells just arrived and happened to land on the front line of the enemy's first wave of charging troops, and immediately blew out three holes in the enemy's charging line. Xiao Lamei was excited to see it in the telescope, which was much more powerful than her own two brushes!
Xiao Lamei, when she was still in Daqingshan, took a group of teenagers from the "special class" to the artillery company to learn secretly. More than five years have passed, and those teenagers have become the main commanders of one side. Although she is still a small battalion commander, the most powerful battalion commander in the entire Rehe Front is probably only Xiao Lamei.
However, Lu Wanqing had just joined the task force and did not know Xiao Lamei's background. Hearing a little girl applauding loudly next to her, she naturally didn't take it seriously!
In Lu Wanqing's opinion, Xiao Lamei is just a telegraph operator, so she speaks without proportion: "You know what is good and bad, what is called nonsense!" The little girl doesn't have any eyesight at all, so why don't you take the radio and retreat quickly, waiting for death here! ”
The five words "little girl" dared to be shouted in front of Xiao Lamei, including the commanders of all divisions, the commander and deputy commander of the front army, and Cao Fengxiang, the governor of Rehe Province, in the entire Rehe front army, there would definitely be no more than two slaps on the fingers!
Lu Wanqing suddenly roared, which startled Xiao Lamei: "Well, it seems that I haven't heard these five words for more than half a year, can't the sun come out of the west today?" Good boy, my aunt and grandmother don't have the same knowledge as you today, and when the battle is over, let's settle this account! ”
With Lu Wanqing's accurate and timely explosion point as a cover, Wei Chong and the others were able to disengage from the enemy without danger every time. In this way, while fighting and retreating, more than forty miles of land was out in a blink of an eye, and Orchid Ridge was in front of you!
It is said that Bai Shujie led Yang Mantun's second class and Xu Sanjiang's third class, and after a whole night of rapid marching, finally arrived at the halfway point of the southeast of Orchid Ridge on the morning of the next day, which is a ravine running from southeast to northwest. The first line of the first ditch and the fourth ditch is just a narrow area of about three kilometers.
Descend from the southern slope of the Liangdi at the summit of Orchid Ridge and follow this ravine to reach the reed ditch at the foot of the mountain. Cross the reed ditch to the northwest, you can go to the Liaoyang side. This was originally a passage chosen by Bai Shujie, and the task force returned to Rehe, and his earliest design was to pass through here.
On both sides of the ravine are steep slopes close to 50-70 degrees, with elevation differences of 50-120 meters. Although it is already winter and the vegetation is withered, the trees are dense enough to hide the large troops.
When the soldiers were resting in place, Bai Shujie took Yang Mantun, Xu Sanjiang, and Zou Baoyin, three squad leaders, to survey the terrain along the ravine. Zuihou decided that Yang Mantun's second class would hold the southern slope, Xu Sanjiang's third class would hold the northern slope, Zou Baoyin's baggage squad would hold the ditch, and Wei Chong would lead Wang Sanju's first class to block the four ditches downstream.
The second and third squads had 8 machine guns, which were evenly arranged on the ridges on both sides of the ravine at a distance of 300 meters, which could basically seal both sides of the ravine. Even if a few slip through the net by then, it doesn't matter. Bai Shujie originally wanted to teach the enemy a lesson, and did not have the delusion of annihilating the other party.
For the sake of safety, the second and third squads immediately rushed to their own combat area, arranged each machine gun on the spot, and then all left the scene and hid 100 meters beyond the mountain beam. Wait until the mortar attacks and then quickly return to the position to prevent the enemy from risking his life to break through the mountain beams.
As for Zou Baoyin's baggage class, he can't do anything for the time being. It is necessary to wait until all three directions have been fired, and then we can rush to the blocking position as quickly as possible to block the enemy's retreat.
With Xiao Lamei's telegram every half an hour, Bai Shujie marked the retreat route of Wei Chong's department on the map, Wang Xinlan looked at the crooked red line on the map, and her heart rose to her throat.
Each node on the map represents a firefight between Wei Chong's troops and the enemy. Wang Xinlan counted slightly, and by half past four in the afternoon, Wei Chong's headquarters had exchanged fire with the enemy 13 times! The map is silent, but everyone who has been through the bloody battle knows that this 13 means that Wei Chong's department and the god of death have talked 13 times!
20 people with more than 800 people walking around the mountains, which is not a good job. Not only must you be sharp and level-headed, but you must also be bold and talented.
Although Bai Shujie was staring at the map, he was also beating a drum in his heart. On the one hand, they are worried about the safety of a group of fighters, and on the other hand, they are worried about whether the enemy will be fooled.
At this moment, a violent explosion came from the direction of the north slope of Orchid Ridge behind him! This is the effect of the rapid fire of the mortar, the enemy was finally lured, this is Wei Chong's department to zuihou the enemy to block the enemy!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
