A Japanese gun shell roared over, and Lao Cheng, a soldier of the Independent Regiment, felt that his body was pushed hard by someone, and his body couldn't help but fall to the ground. Then a loud noise rang in his ears, and a heavy object pressed on him, and the sticky thing flowed down his face. The purpose of their battle was to support a group of puppet troops uprising and join the anti-Japanese armed forces together.
Lao Cheng touched his head, but fortunately he was still there. He touched his chest and neck again, and there were no shrapnel wounds. He touched the head leaning on his back and realized that the brother had died of blood and blood. It was his bump just now that he pushed himself away to avoid being hit by the shells.
Lao Cheng slowly put the adjutant who saved him on the ground and said, "Brother, wait, I will definitely avenge you."
"Chief of Staff, this place is too dangerous, go to the back!" A group of officers came over and found that Lao Cheng was almost killed by a shell. He suggested that he retreat later and not rely on too frontier positions.
"Dangerous? Where isn't it dangerous? If we are not here, how can we convince the soldiers? Stop talking, everyone pay attention to the movements of the Japanese on the flank. The Japanese are always good at frontal feint attacks and flank encirclement tactics. We must always beware of their intimidation!" Old Chen shook his head and said.
His attitude reassured the officers under his command who had begun to shake their hearts. Even Old Cheng is still in front, so what else can we say? Just fight the Japanese in the front!
At the moment when Lao Cheng and his team were eagerly looking at Fang Long, the regiment commander in Pukou City, several officers hurried over. When Lao Cheng saw that they were the men who were sent out to seize the dock, he thought something happened to the dock, so he hurriedly asked, "What happened to the dock?"
"No, the Daliangshan guerrilla column sent people to pick us up. Now they have arrived at the dock, and they have brought a lot of ships." The words of his subordinates reassured Lao Cheng.
If even the dock was snatched away by the Japanese, then the uprising would have been a failure. Not only that, but it would also involve the 79th Regiment who came to support him. This is unreasonable.
"Brothers, did you hear it? The guerrillas have come to pick us up, so we have more confidence. We will persevere. When the brothers of the 79th Regiment in the city come out, we will defeat these Japanese!" Old Cheng was very excited. He was really desperate. He thought he was going to be blocked here by the Japanese, but now the reinforcements have finally arrived.
The brothers of the Independent Brigade naturally cheered and became more energetic. They immediately went back to organize their subordinates to the position. The next attack from the Japanese was repelled. This time the Japanese lost even worse. Without even touching the side of the position, they were driven down by the Chinese soldiers on the position, leaving only a bunch of corpses outside the position.
The Japanese Regiment Captain stomped his feet and soybean-sized sweat beads appeared on his head. He could clearly take the position, but the Chinese army on the opposite side was like a god protecting his body, with its combat power soaring, and it withstanded several fierce attacks from the elite imperial army in succession. It was incredible.
Now he can only rely on the suicide squad of Yamaguchi. Only when Yamaguchi hits the poisonous gas bombs on the positions of the Chinese army can he have the possibility of destroying these desperately resisting Chinese troops!
Lao Cheng kept looking into the city, and was naturally very anxious. Seeing him like this, the adjutant beside him hurriedly said, "Chief of Staff, why don't I take a few brothers to the city gate to see it. If there is news from the 79th Regiment, I will send a signal immediately!"
"Okay, you can bring a few more people and grenade , bring this signal gun , and there is news from the 79th Regiment, send a red signal flare immediately!" Lao Cheng thought it was okay, let the adjutant look at the city gate, and he would feel much more at ease here.
Adjutant brought seven or eight brothers from the special agent battalion and immediately went to the city gate. The special agent battalion commander specially dispatched a platoon to protect Lao Cheng. In the battles just now, Lao Cheng had already asked the brothers of the two squads to go to the front line and left a squad to follow him. He felt that there were no need for so many people around him. With such a tight army, this was simply a waste.
Adjutant and his team were divided into two groups, followed the path towards the city gate, and walked to a bamboo forest less than two miles away from the city gate. A sharp-eyed brother noticed something was moving in front of him and hurriedly gestured to the adjutant.
Adjutant hurriedly waved his hand to signal the team to stop advancing immediately. The special agent battalion was the elite of the independent brigade. Although it was not as powerful as the special forces of Fang Long's 79th Regiment, it was stronger than ordinary national infantry. After discovering that there was something in front, they immediately scattered and soon hid in the bamboo forest.
At this time, the adjutant heard a sound of footsteps from the left front, and then a heavy breathing sound came. It was pitch black in the bamboo forest at night and there was nothing to see. Only the northwest wind blew over and shook bamboo and made the "rustling" sound.
Adjutant was very worried at this moment. He could not determine whether the footsteps were Fang Long and the Seventy-ninth Regiment had come. He had to prick up his ears and listen carefully. When the footsteps came from the southeast, he immediately understood in his heart that this could not be the brothers of the Seventy-ninth Regiment coming out of the city.
"Isn't the person from the Seventy-Ninth Regiment, is it the Japanese who touched it?" the adjutant thought to himself.
He decided to wait a little longer. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was also a "ding bell" sound, as if it was the sound of metal tubes colliding. The adjutant listened carefully for a while, and suddenly heard a Japanese word from the team. He understood at that time: I met the Japanese!
The team of Japanese soldiers happened to walk along the bamboo forest. The adjutant vaguely saw their figures at this moment. There were about a dozen Japanese soldiers. These Japanese soldiers did not hold 38 covers like ordinary Japanese soldiers, but carried round tubes on their backs, and the Japanese behind them carried boxes on their shoulders.
"Damn it, it turned out to be the Japanese artillery. They were carrying mortar and shell boxes, and they all walked around behind our positions. This is amazing!" The adjutant was shocked, but then he thought, it was wrong. These ten Japanese only brought four or five mortars and took the risk of touching behind our positions. How big can these few mortars do it alone?
Adjutant decided not to get up with the South City Gate first, and drag these Japanese artillery soldiers to the back of our positions. There will definitely be no good thing.
Adjutant hurriedly gestured to his brothers, and the brothers in the special agent camp immediately divided into two groups and touched the team of Japanese in front.
"Dadada" gunshot suddenly rang out, and the brothers in the special agent camp took the initiative. This time, Lao Cheng asked the adjutant to bring the "Flower Machine Gun" to supplement the insufficient firepower of the rifle. The original intention was to increase the firepower. If you encounter Japanese soldiers on the road, you will not suffer any losses. But you didn't expect to use it here. The group of Japanese in front of
suddenly encountered a blow, and were knocked down by three or four of them by dense bullets. The rest hurriedly picked up the things from the dead Japanese and ran around the ground desperately, trying to find a cover to avoid bullets.
But the brothers of the special agent camp would not give them a chance. At that time, there was a more dense bullet strafing, and three or four Japanese were beaten into hornet's nests. With the flames of the gun, the adjutant found that these Japanese artillery soldiers were very strange. Why were they dead? They still held the ammunition boxes tightly?
A subordinate hurriedly took out a grenade to blow it up, and the adjutant hurriedly stopped it. He felt that there must be something wrong with the Japanese in front of him. This behavior was too abnormal. They must be hiding something?
This battle went quite smoothly. In less than ten Japanese soldiers, almost all of them were shot dead by the brothers of the secret service camp in less than ten minutes. The remaining two dead Japanese soldiers also shot themselves before the brothers of the secret service camp rushed over.
Looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers lying all over the floor, the adjutant shone one by one with a flashlight. When he saw the ammunition boxes, he found that there were skeleton marks on the boxes, and there were also forks below!
He couldn't understand Japanese characters, but he knew this mark and it was definitely not a good thing. He thought to go to the city gate to pick up the 79th Regiment, so the adjutant asked the brothers to pick up the mortars and ammunition boxes and continue to go towards the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gate, they looked up and saw the lights flashing in front of them. The adjutant thought that the Japanese convoy had come, so he hurriedly said to the company commander who was guarding the city gate: "Hurry, be ready to fight the Japanese!"
"It should not be the Japanese, otherwise the shells would have fallen here long ago. It is estimated that the brothers of the 79th Regiment arrived!" It was still the company commander who came calmly. He felt that it was impossible that the Japanese had come, otherwise how could this happen? The artillery shells have fallen long ago. The Japanese must not be stupid. They would not be stupid enough to wait to the city gate to wait for the Chinese soldiers to attack him, right?
As soon as the adjutant thought it was right, he took his subordinates to the light. The adjutant then saw clearly that it turned out that it was not a truck coming, but two tanks, the Japanese tank, and the plaster flag on the turret in front was quite dazzling!
Adjutant understood that it must be the brothers of the 79th Regiment who could steal the Japanese tanks and break out. They are so powerful that they can even steal the Japanese tanks. It's amazing!
tank stopped, the top cover was opened, a young officer got out of the car, and then a large number of men wearing Japanese military uniforms rushed up from behind, but the adjutant had long seen that half of these people were wearing national military uniforms.
Adjutant was about to come forward to say hello when the team suddenly flashed. The young officer walked in the middle, followed by two officers wearing national army uniforms. The adjutant recognized the two officers, weren’t they the commander and chief of staff of the Third Regiment of the Independent Brigade?
don't have to guess. The one who came in the middle must be from the 79th Regiment. The adjutant immediately stepped forward, his legs together, saluted him with a standard military salute, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, Wang Anxin, the deputy of the Independent Brigade, and came to welcome your troops out of the city by Chief of Staff Cheng!"
The young officer nodded: "Very good, you lead the way in front, let's go and meet old Cheng!"
Adjutant was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Is the 79th Regiment?"
" Yes, now it is the independent regiment of the Daliangshan Guerrilla Column, I am Fang Long ! "
A red signal flare rose slowly in the direction of the south gate of the city. Looking at Lao Cheng who was about to fall out of his eyes here, he hurriedly said to the communication soldiers beside him: "Import the brothers on the position, the 79th Regiment is here!"
It sounded that the 79th Regiment had attacked from the city. The brothers of the independent brigade were all possessed by gods, and they immediately attacked another Japanese attack. It was not enough for them to repel the Japanese. A company of the special agent battalion on the front position also launched an assault and chased the Japanese for a while. If it weren't for Lao Cheng Yan's order to withdraw, the company would probably have to fight to the front of the Japanese corps!
Lao Cheng and his men were waiting for Fang Long and the others to come in front of the position. The roar of the tank engine came from the front, and then a group of teams appeared in front of them. The commander of the Third Regiment reported to Lao Chenghui: "Chief of Staff, the brothers of the 79th Regiment are so powerful that they almost took down the Fujino Japanese corps and snatched two Japanese tanks and several armored vehicles . Chief Fang was in the tank behind and arrived soon!"
Lao Cheng was so excited that the 79th Regiment was so powerful that he even snatched the Japanese tanks. Now, there was almost nothing that Japanese could stop when they were removed. No matter how powerful they were, could they resist the impact of the tanks?
tank stopped not far away from Lao Cheng, and the roof of the car opened. Lao Cheng hurriedly met him. A young officer came out of the way. He waved to Lao Cheng and jumped out of the car with a smile. Zeng San also got off the position. He led a few subordinates and Lao Cheng to resist the Japanese's crazy attacks several times at the edge of the dock. Now he heard that Fang Long had come out of the city, so he hurried over to take a look.
"Old Cheng, that's the leader Fang Long Fang!" Zeng San quickly introduced to Lao Cheng, afraid that he would not know Fang Long.
"I've seen it a long time ago. I'm so young and promising!" Lao Cheng nodded, rushed forward and reached out and said, "Report to Commander Fang, the Independent Brigade is back home!"
"Okay, it's good to come back. You are Comrade Lao Cheng, right? Thank you for turning the tide in time, otherwise the lives of thousands of brothers in the Independent Brigade will be in danger. You have made great contributions. Commander Hu wants me to tell you that with us, we will definitely be able to return to the base." Fang Long said to Lao Cheng.
"That's great. Commander Fang, you are so powerful. You can even grab the Japanese tanks. There are two Japanese corps in front to stop us. What should we do? Should we avoid these Japanese corps retreating from the water, or to retreat to Daliang Mountain in two ways at the same time?" Lao Cheng asked. Although he had already met Fang Long and the others at this moment, he knew very well that the danger was far from over. There were two Japanese corps on the opposite side blocking the way. The main force of Gu Shoufu's division behind was probably still on the way to pursue him. If he wanted to retreat safely, he would probably have to fight a few tough battles with the Japanese.
"How many Japanese are there in front of you to stop him?" Fang Long asked Lao Cheng. He had just rushed out of Pukou City and still didn't know much about the specific situation outside.
"There are two Japanese corpses in our front and left and right wings respectively, but the current waterway has not found any movement of Japanese corpses." Lao Cheng nodded and said.
"There is no movement at the moment, which does not mean that there is no danger there. The Japanese are always cunning. We must always guard against the Japanese on the waterway. Lao Huang, take a platoon to take a boat to the waterway to see." Fang Long asked Da Huangya to take a boat to the waterway to explore first. He always felt that the Japanese could not let the waterway go. Now the land was made into a pot of porridge, but the waterway didn't move. This was too abnormal. Did Gusuo really forget this side of the waterway?
"Okay, I'll go right now!" Dahuangya hurriedly greeted more than 20 subordinates and hurried towards the dock. There, a battalion under Lao Cheng was guarding, and there were only a few hundred ships collected, all hidden there.
0 The two Japanese corps captains who surrounded the Independent Brigade in the south of the city were discussing a solution and launched several consecutive attacks, but they could not take down the position of the Independent Brigade, and their subordinates suffered heavy casualties. How can you explain such a record to the division commander?
"I think another attack must be launched, and the waterway cannot be let go. Didn't a Marine come over the Navy? Isn't the division commander ordering the Marine to launch a joint attack on the Chinese army from both water and land, and it should be able to encircle them in the city. There are still three hours before dawn. As long as they are blocked, airplanes will come to support them immediately. Then you are not afraid that the Chinese army will escape!" A chief of staff of the Japanese advised.
"It makes sense, report to the division commander immediately!" the Japanese corps captain nodded.
Soon, Tani Suo sent a call back and forth, saying that he had ordered the Marine Corps stationed beside Pukou to participate in the battle. He had already received a telegram from the Marine Corps to ask him to participate in the battle, but Tani Suo believed that it was not time to dispatch the Marine Corps and wanted to wait for tomorrow's battle situation.
But now he received a message from the two intercepting independent brigades in the south of the city. He felt that the situation was much more serious than he thought, so he agreed to the entire Marine Corps to participate in the war. Although his subordinates reported to him that the Independent brigade had grabbed the ships on the dock, in Tani Suo's eyes, these wooden boats and small sampans were not afraid. The Marine Corps were equipped with motorboats and gunboats , which was more than enough to deal with these small boats.
For a moment, on the surface of the Pukou River, a team of motorboats and gunboats came with hundreds of Japanese Marines. The purpose of these Japanese Marines was of course to destroy the independent brigade positions on the dock and block the independent brigade and the guerrilla columns that came to pick up the water retreat.
scout , who was in charge of front-line reconnaissance, discovered the group of Japanese soldiers coming from the water. At that time, he reported to Fang Long on radio. Fang Long saw this and hurriedly said to Lao Cheng: "The Japanese may have discovered the purpose of our evacuation from both water and land. We cannot delay it. We immediately launched an feint attack on the front Japanese positions. The uprising troops left a regiment to cooperate with our feint attack, and all the rest retreated immediately."
"Only one regiment left? Too few." Lao Cheng shook his head and said.
"We are a feint attack, not a main attack. As long as we attract the two Japanese corps opposite to the south of the city, Comrade Cheng and Commander Hu instructed me to be responsible for the military command here." Fang Long said.
Lao Cheng had no choice but to nod, and nodded in agreement. In fact, he was very grateful and took the initiative to take responsibility and let himself leave first. This situation he had never encountered before. This time he encountered it, it was really good.
The brothers of the Independent Brigade were very happy to hear this. With Fang Long and others cutting off the rear and blocking themselves and evacuating themselves, it would be a life-saving grace for them. This is the first time they have encountered such a thing in the national army for so many years. It seems that the Eighth Route Army army is indeed well-known, and this road is considered to be the right one.
all three infantry regiments expressed their intention to stay and use Fang Long and others to block the Japanese. Lao Cheng considered that the third regiment's troops were almost not much loss in the city, the battle was complete, and the weapons and equipment were not bad, so he asked the third regiment to stay and cut off the rear.
Not to mention how Fang Long and the others launched a feint attack on the two Japanese corps opposite to restrain the main force of the Japanese. Let’s talk about Dahuangya. After rushing to the dock, they found that nothing was going on. There was silence around. The battalion of the independent brigade was watching the ships there. Dahuangya went over and said to the battalion commander: “We are from the independent regiment of the guerrilla column. We are ordered by Commander Cheng to take over the defense at the dock.”
When the battalion commander heard that it was the independent regiment of the guerrilla column that came to pick up, the battalion respectfully saluted Dahuangya, “Report to the commander, the third battalion is willing to obey the commander’s command.”
“How many ships are there at the dock?” Dahuangya asked him.
"Collection of more than a hundred ships, but most of them are fishing boats and small sampans."
"Where is the motorboat? Where is the gunboat?" Dahuangya frowned. These more than a hundred small boats were loaded with battalions after they were killed. So many people were going to withdraw. Are these ships not enough?
"No, since the Japanese came, they have all been taken away by the Japanese!"
"I know, have you found any abnormalities nearby? Have you sent scouts and patrol teams?" Dahuangya continued to ask.
"Sent out, but haven't heard of the Japanese yet?" The battalion commander replied. He realized that the commander who was not astonishingly good-looking and had a big yellow teeth in front of him was an expert and looked very good. Thinking about it, he was a capable general of Fang Long's 79th Regiment. If he had no ability, how could he kill the Japanese Prince in Zhujiaqiao, Wuxi?
"Has the patrol boat been sent out in the water? There will be no problem on land, mainly in the water." Dahuangya emphasized that it was in the water.
"It's big night, will the Japanese come from the water?" the battalion commander asked in disbelief. He didn't send scouts to patrol the water, but just patrolled along the shore.
"Can you guarantee that the Japanese will not come from the water? The Japanese are very cunning and immediately sent a clutch to patrol the river, bring a signal gun, and immediately send a signal!" Dahuangya was about to stomp her feet. If the Japanese came from the waterway at this time, wouldn't these ships on the dock be all finished? Without these small boats, even if the waterway is completely blocked by the Japanese, how can you still retreat? The battalion leader
was shocked and hurriedly found a platoon under his command, and asked them to take several speedboats, patrol along the Yangtze River tributary to Pukou, and told the platoon leader who led the team: "When encountering the Japanese fleet, don't exchange fire with them, send a signal to withdraw immediately!"
"Wait, bring enough ammunition, and try to hold them back after encountering the Japanese fleet, and the large army will arrive soon!" Dahuang Ya understood that once these brothers who went to reconnaissance encountered the Japanese fleet, it would be a good fortune. The Japanese fleet was probably gunboats and motorboats. The clutches were rowing by oars. Can they run over Japanese motorboats? Only by entangling them and dragging the Japanese can all the fleets beside the dock strike to rescue!
"Yes! Thank you for your concern. We have already prepared the worst. At worst, we can die. We accept this. We are all Chinese men. It is worth dying here to fight the Japanese!"
The platoon leader told Dahuangya with a firm look: "They are already planning to die with the Japanese. At this time, as long as you are not stupid, you understand that if you encounter the Japanese fleet, the possibility of getting away is very small. In fact, they are the suicide squad!"
"Okay, you are a man. I admire him. Come and take a sip. It is considered to be a strong move for you!" Dahuangya took out a wine pot from his waist pocket like a magic trick, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and handed it to the platoon leader.
The platoon leader took it and took a sip, returned the wine pot to Dahuangya, and repeatedly cheered: "Thank you, sir!"
After saying that, the platoon leader turned his head and left. More than 20 brothers boarded several speedboats and paddled forward desperately. Dahuangya looked at their distant figure and sighed: "Don't know if the Japanese will come from the water?"
