Chapter 1551 It's so good to be alive
"Where has the Independent Group arrived, our department needs support!"
"Brother Liu, I beg you, please hurry!"
"If you don't come again, if you don't come again, you'll collect my body for you!"
Since 2 p.m., the Army Lieutenant General has no idea how many telegrams he sent to Liu Lang's troops. One more time, the wording of the next one is fiercer.
In fact, I can't hold on anymore. I can't hold on anymore! At the beginning, the front-line command centers in the three urban areas kept calling for reinforcements, but later, the words of asking for reinforcements were no longer on the phone. Because the last guard platoon of the military headquarters and the division headquarters company were also sent to the front line. If reinforcements were requested, it was the rhythm of the commander, the deputy commander and the chief of staff who had to go to the battlefield with pistols.
The number of front-line officers and soldiers was killed, and the lieutenant generals located in the military headquarters were no longer aware of, but the casualties of the commanders at the regiment and battalion level of the military headquarters not only made the lieutenant general feel like a knife, but also made him feel at stake.
At 3:00 p.m., Xie Yunsheng, the commander of the 48th Regiment, personally led the 4th Infantry Company to counterattack position, and was hit by artillery fire, but his body was killed. Afterwards, two infantry battalion commanders led their troops to counterattack, and two infantry battalion commanders were killed. Lin Li, the chief of staff of the Independent Regiment, took over as the highest commander as the highest commander as the rank of Xicheng District; the casualties of the company-level officers cannot be counted due to the emergency situation on the front line.
At 3:40 pm, Colonel Wang Jun, the commander of the 58th Regiment, was shot at the Black Hawk Army from a long distance and was seriously injured in his left chest. Deputy Commander Lieutenant Colonel Xie Boting took over as the front line commander, and an infantry battalion commander of the 58th Regiment was killed in battle.
At 4:00 p.m., Colonel Hu Wen of the 59th Regiment personally led two infantry companies to reinforce in Xicheng, injured the Black Hawk Imperial Army's grenade shrapnel. After simply being injured, he refused to leave the position and still fought on the front line.
Within one day, two colonel-level officers were killed, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the 43rd Army, which had only two brigades and four regiments in total. The lieutenant general of the army was naturally heartbroken, but what made him even more worried was the Huangsucheng position. He and the entire army had clearly issued a telegram to the whole country and swear to never retreat. It was no longer important that the immortality was not important. What was important was that Huangsucheng could not be lost. If Huangsucheng was lost, then one of his 43rd Army, the Huangsucheng Security Corps and the local people in Huangsucheng would die in vain.
At that time, the kingdom would only remember that his 43rd Army lost Huangsucheng and caused heavy losses to the Haicheng army, but few people would remember that the entire Huangsucheng defender lost 15,000 lives here. The success and defeat of the enemy, and the lieutenant general who had been in the army for many years knew this truth.
No wonder the lieutenant general of the army, who has always been stubborn, pulled down his face and asked for help from the Independent Corps one by one, and even started to curse directly in the telegram.
The Independent Regiment has completely entered radio silence since the morning, and no one, including the Army Lieutenant General, knew their location.
Before entering Huangsucheng, the Security Department led by Xiao Fenghua had already checked the Independent Regiment's advance area based on the early intelligence of the Merchant Group in the Huangsucheng area. Both the Black Hawk Empire and the Kingdom's spies had been cleaned up. Since the morning, the whereabouts of the Independent Regiment had disappeared from the intelligence systems of the two countries. No one knew their location at this moment. Even the Black Hawk HNA dispatched three waves of reconnaissance aircraft in succession, but they did not know the specific location of the Independent Regiment, as if the huge Independent Regiment convoy disappeared out of thin air.
Ding Beiwei, who launched a mad attack on Huangsucheng, left nearly 10,000 infantry and 12 105 howitzers to deal with the independent regiment that he had returned to, but he did not know when the independent regiment would arrive.
Where has the Independent Group been?
In fact, by 4:30 pm, Liu Lang and the Independent Regiment had actually arrived at a location only twenty kilometers away from Huangsu City. If you gallop from the highway, the slowest time was only an hour, and the entire army could reach outside Huangsu City. Not to mention that you could enter the city immediately for reinforcements, at least it would be possible to scare Ding Beiwei to pull out some of the troops from the city.
However, the Independent Regiment did not run towards Huangsucheng as expected, but hid the huge convoy in the woods in the fields. The police investigation regiment and the bayonet battalion were ordered to dispatch all to investigate the surrounding ten kilometers. All suspicious persons were detained on the spot. If there was evidence, the law was rectified on the spot.
"The 43rd Army Department asked for a telegram for help. Two colonel commanders and six major battalion commanders died in battle. I urged our troops to arrive at the battlefield quickly, otherwise Huangsucheng would be lost." Deputy Zhang Ruhao, the deputy of the regiment, took the telegram sent by the communication platoon leader, and said with a serious expression. "Captain, this is the 8th telegram sent by Chief Guo, do you see?"
"The entire army continued to repair, and at the same time, they asked the 67th Army where they were. After receiving the reply, they informed our army of where they were and turned off the radio station to prevent the Black Hawk Army from detecting the general direction of the radio station." Liu Lang stood under the tree and looked into the distance without looking back.
"But, what should we do with the 43rd Army? How can we reply to them?" Zhang Ruhao, deputy deputy of the regiment, asked.
Although he had known Liu Lang's personality, Liu Lang's determination not only did not intensify the rescue of friendly troops, but even the field radio stations were still somewhat beyond Zhang Ruhao's surprise.
"No need to reply!" Liu Lang shook his head gently and said softly: "Deputy of the regiment, you must believe that the 15th Division of the 43rd Army and the 6th Division cannot afford them."
No one knew the expression on Liu Lang’s face at this time.
Being tenacious is more determined.
Yes, he believed in the 43rd Army.
Liu Lang was not wrong. The 43rd Army's front was in danger several times, but they still persisted.
Although, before sunset, about 50% of the entire city had been occupied by the Black Hawk Army, the central area of the city and the North City were still under the control of the 43rd Army.
The price was that two colonel commanders of the 43rd Army were killed in battle, and fourteen battalion commanders, and ten of them were killed in battle, including five of them, who died in battle within half an hour before sunset. Because the company commanders under their command had almost been killed or injured, and some infantry companies were even the fifth company commander, and the company commander was just an infantry squad leader a day ago.
At this time, even the battalion commander had to rush to the front line with his gun himself. Then, these battalion commanders could only die in battle, before nightfall was about to fall and the Black Hawk Army was almost exhausted.
In fact, by the time he heard that the Black Hawk Army in Xicheng District had attacked the 50-meter area of the 48th Regiment, the Army Lieutenant General had personally brought his helmet and pulled out his pistol to take the last fifteen men from the military headquarters to reinforce the 48th Regiment, including two Army Lieutenant Generals, an Army Major General, five school-level staff officers, six lieutenant-level correspondents, and a war correspondent without military rank.
The entire 43rd Army headquarters had no guards a hour ago, and even the Chef and the Gambler had been sent to the battlefield, and there was no need to mention the first level of the brigade headquarters. Even the regiment commander went to the battlefield in person, let alone the others!
When the sky gradually darkened and the night gradually fell, the Black Hawk Army's cannons and gunshots finally stopped. Relying on the broken walls, the Black Hawk Army retreated to the distant block.
Yang Silang, who was crawling in the ruins, let out a sigh of relief, and rolled over with his gun and rolled under a low wall that was only half a meter high. He trembled and took out the old squad leader's gun that had been carrying around his waist, stuffed it into the smoldering tobacco. He lit it on the burning wood beside the wall, and took a deep breath.
Then, he started to cough violently, and while coughing, Yang Silang was laughing.
Oh, he is a fairy, but I am still alive.
Chapter completed!
