Chapter 27 Night attack, another night attack(1/2)
"What, they are raising a flag to request artillery support?" On the east bank of the Nu River, inside the headquarters, Yu Xiaoqing was a little surprised when he heard Zhang Lixian's reply.
"No!" Yu Xiaoqing didn't even think about it and refused directly. He had just fought with the Japs and asked for artillery support. Now that ammunition was limited, for the sake of Jiang's defense, he couldn't tolerate them.
Zhang Lixian said: "They said that the main force of the Japanese army has arrived one after another. If it drags on any longer, they will only be eaten away by the Japanese army step by step. Their ammunition and other supplies are also very limited, so they plan to abandon their position at nine o'clock tonight.
Take the initiative to attack, fight to the death, and attack the Japanese camp at night."
Yu Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Lixian: "Are they planning to take the initiative?"
Zhang Lixian said: "That's what they say in the flag language."
Yu Xiaoqing's brows immediately wrinkled: "Take the initiative?"
"The main force of the Japanese army is continuing to increase its troops towards Nantianmen. If they insist on defending, they will only die. Only by taking the initiative and fighting to the death can they have a chance of survival."
Yu Xiaoqing was a military genius. When he was eighteen years old, he led two hundred local warriors to defeat three hundred bandits. His subsequent resume showed how powerful this guy was. At least among the national army, he was a rare person.
Fighting, and being a general who can fight tough battles.
Yu Xiaoqing naturally guessed the intention of Wang Zhong and others: "It seems that this Wang Zhong is quite capable."
"Master, what about us?" Zhang Lixian asked.
Yu Xiaoqing pondered for a moment and then said: "Reply to them, the defense of Jiang is urgent, ammunition is limited, and we can only attack half the base."
Zhang Lixian immediately stood at attention and saluted: "I will reply to them now."
As night fell, the defeated soldiers did not wait for the third Japanese attack.
In the trenches, the defeated soldiers lay on the ground, eating cans and biscuits supported by the British, and drinking clear spring water from the kettles.
Long Wenwen called all the uniformed officers in the defeated army, as well as Wang Zhong and his old brothers who had eaten pork and stewed vermicelli in a pot in Chanda.
"Veterinarian, how are the wounded?" Long Wenwen looked at Veterinary Hao, who was carrying a medicine box next to him.
Veterinarian Hao said: "The seriously injured have been sent across the river, and the minor injuries have been almost treated."
Long Wenwen nodded, then turned to the crowd and said: "Now the Japanese army is continuously increasing its troops towards Nantianmen. I have discussed it repeatedly with Battalion Commander Wang. Defending Nantianmen is just a fight between trapped beasts. In the end,
We will still be eaten away bit by bit by the Japanese army."
"The Japanese army will never watch us cross the river."
Wang Zhong added: "If the little devil knows that we are crossing the river, he will bite us to death at all costs and drag us to death by the river."
"At that time, we will have no geographical advantage, so we will only be a living target for the little devils."
"What Battalion Commander Wang said is right!" Long Wenwen continued: "So Battalion Commander Wang and I have been discussing it for a long time, and it was only just now that we thought of a way out."
"What's the way out?"
"At this point, apart from fighting with the little devil, what other way out is there!" Meng Fanlao said with a look of disdain.
Wang Zhong took out a folded map from his arms, spread it out on the ground, held a branch, pointed at the map and said: "This is the Nantianmen, this is the Nujiang River, the only bridge has been blown up, we
You will definitely not be able to cross the river, unless you are willing to be a living target for the little devils and practice shooting for them."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, especially the few of them. When they were blocked by the Japanese army in that pocket-shaped valley, they were extremely frustrated. There were dozens of them, but the Japanese army relied on their incompetence.
With ten people and a heavy machine gun, they were blocked in the valley and treated like prey.
"Then what way out do we have now?" Chief Ayi was the first to be unable to sit still.
Meng Fanglai glanced at Ayi, and was about to say something teasing, but was caught by a sharp look, and opened his mouth, but did not speak after all.
Just listen to Wang Zhong say: "The Japanese army must think that we have only three options left now, either to cross the river by force, to defend Nantianmen, or to surrender to them."
"But we still have a fourth way."
Wang Zhong pointed to a mountain behind their Nantianmen and said: "Let's break out from here, follow the road we came here, and break out of their encirclement before all the main force of the Japanese army arrives and before they surround us heavily."
"Burma?" After hearing Wang Zhong's words, everyone had different expressions. Some were shocked, some were surprised, some were happy, some were frightened, and some shook their heads.
Wang Zhongdao: "You can't think of it, and the Japanese army certainly can't think of it, but we just want them to not think of it. They think that we are building fortifications on the mountain to defend Nantianmen and fight them to the death, but we are not as good as they expected."
"Our numbers and strength are inferior to the Japanese army. Unless we are caught by surprise and attack the enemy unprepared, otherwise, even with all our bravery, we will not be able to hold on for a few days."
Wang Zhongdao: "If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land. If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land! Even if we all die on Nantian Gate, we still can't defend Nantian Gate. Moreover, even if we defend Nantian Gate, we will not be able to defend Nantian Gate."
It doesn’t make any sense, let alone we can’t defend it at all.”
Wang Zhong simply broke the truth into pieces and fed it into the mouths of these people. If it weren't for this battle, it would never be easy. He and Long Wenwen wouldn't have to work so hard to convince everyone and just give the order directly.
It is precisely because of this battle that everyone must work together without any differences to achieve success.
Wang Zhong told them the Red Army's fourth crossing of Chishui as an example. This battle personally commanded by the teacher was comparable to any classic large-scale battle in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
Especially for them now, its reference value far exceeds that of other battles.
"Whether you wait for death at the Nantian Gate, or take the risk to break out and gain a chance of survival, it all depends on you!" Wang Zhong left the choice to everyone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Long Wenwen said at the right time: "Why stay on Nantianmen and wait to die if you can survive!"
"Done!"
As soon as Long Wenwen opened his mouth, the defeated soldiers who were impressed by his charm and became his die-hard loyalists in just a few days also expressed their opinions and agreed with gritted teeth that they would follow Long Wenwen.
In the end, only Meng Fanxia and his group of broken soldiers who initially followed Long Wenwen and Wang Zhong were left, but they had not yet expressed their stance.
Everyone's eyes also fell on them.
"It all depends on what we do. I'm going to die anyway. I'll go wherever Boss Wang goes!" Bu La Huan said without hesitation.
"I'm going with Lazi!" Kaname also expressed his stance.
Next came Bean Cake: “I’ll follow up with Brother Ma.”
When he was at the shelter, Doubi always followed Yao Ma and received Yao Ma's care.
"Why are you looking at me!" His eyes focused on Milong, who was carrying the dog's tail grass, and his eyes flickered: "My wife and children have all crossed the river, and I don't want to hand over my life here.
Want to go back!"
Then came the veterinarians and Snake Butt, who expressed their opinions one after another. In the end, only Meng Fan was left, and all eyes were focused on him.
"Look what I'm doing! You guys have all agreed. Is it possible that my elbow can still pass through my thigh?" Meng Fan, who was the most difficult to deal with, had no objection.
Long Wenwen made the final decision and decided on a breakout plan, and then quickly determined the route and manpower allocation with Wang Zhong.
Half an hour later, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Long Wenwen looked at his watch and said: "Each go back and take your own people and rest for forty minutes. Forty minutes later, Battalion Commander Wang led the commando team to take the lead in attacking, and Battalion Commander Lin led the third battalion to attack from the front. The remaining
Everyone below, follow me and attack from the flank."
This plan was discussed by Wang Zhong and Long Wenwen early in the morning, and the corresponding manpower division was also discussed with everyone just now.
"Okay, okay, everyone, hurry down and recharge your batteries, but there is still a tough battle to be fought soon!" Long Wenwen clapped his hands and asked everyone to leave.
The night is getting darker.
Forty minutes were long but seemed like a century. When eight forty-one arrived, Wang Zhong moved. Bu La, Yao Ma, Mi Long and other members of the assault team followed closely behind, taking advantage of the cover of the night, clinging to
Mountain forest, in the jungle, quietly walking towards the direction of the Japanese camp.
Long Wenwen and Ah Yi also began to mobilize their subordinates.
Long Wenwen led his loyalists into the forest on the other side, while Ayi led the rest of the Laoshan Battalion, fully armed and concentrated behind the trench at the front, staring intently in the faint moonlight.
With every movement of the hands of the watch on his wrist, Ayi's heart began to tremble.
When the second hand returned to twelve o'clock, Ayi stood up suddenly, took out a pistol from his waist, and shouted: "Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around and jumped out of the trench. He hunched his body and groped all the way down the mountain.
Outside the Japanese camp, two Japanese soldiers were hiding in a tree to keep watch. This was a hidden sentinel for the Japanese army. There was the Japanese camp ten meters away in front of them. Time was tight and the Japanese army had not had time to build a watchtower, so they could only use sandbags and logs to pile it up.
Simple fortifications are arranged around the camp, with a large number of light and dark sentries placed around to prevent rout troops on the mountain from attacking the camp.
It must be said that the Japanese army was far more cautious than the national army. Even though they had an absolute advantage, they still fought steadily and calmly.
Unfortunately, what they met was Wang Zhong who was cheating.
Wang Zhong's martial arts had already been superb, and his true energy was as pure and majestic as the sea. Under the nose of the Japanese sentry, using the darkness and extreme speed, he quietly touched the side of the big tree, looked for the direction, and held the fist in his hand.
The stone fell out of his hand.
Only two bangs were heard, and before even a scream could be heard, two figures fell from the tree. A black shadow flashed over, one with each hand, dragging the falling figures of the two Japanese soldiers.
Stop and put it gently on the ground. Two more figures flew out from behind the bushes, each holding a bayonet in their hands. They stepped forward and stabbed each one with one blow. There was no chance of any loss, and two Japanese sentries were killed in an instant.
"What a bastard, these little Japs are too cautious!" Bu La wiped the blood-stained bayonet clean on the Japs' clothes, and skillfully took away the Japs' guns, ammunition, and dry food.
Yaoma next to him smiled and said: "Otherwise, why do you call me little devil? It's just because you are cowardly."
"okay!"
"Say less!"
Wang Zhong scolded the two men in a low voice before continuing to move forward.
Kaname put his hand in his mouth and chirped softly, imitating the chirping of a bird.
“Cuckoo cuckoo!”
