Listening to Lei Lei's call from the first battalion, Zhang Xian felt a little reassured. This showed that the enemy was not beyond his imagination and still placed the main breakthrough point on the west side of the end of the bridge. The second battalion was on the west side. There is another strong line of defense on the other side. Even if an enemy comes around from the first battalion's position, it will hit the second battalion's guns. It is a sky net that cannot be overcome no matter how hard the Japanese try.
But after noon, more intensive gunfire came from the direction of Lishan south of the end of the bridge. This made Zhang Xian extremely nervous. He only deployed one company of troops there. Before he could send someone over, Captain Wang from the First Company of the 57th Division Guard Battalion stationed in Lishan called Zhang Xian and told Zhang Xian that a large number of enemy troops had moved to the Lishan position, including thousands of people. There are so many that Kuriyama's defense is a little overwhelmed, so we are asking for support!
Zhang Xian put down the phone and looked at Yu Changle next to him, but he was secretly afraid in his heart. If Yu Changle hadn't reminded him, he might have made a serious mistake. He didn't expect the Japanese to actually climb over thousands of meters. The Phoenix Mountain goes around to the south of the end of the bridge.
However, at this time, in the 169 regiment headquarters, except for a special agent company, there was no second reserve team.
"I wonder where Commander Niu's third battalion is?" Yu Changle said authentically. Ever since Zhang Xian called in the morning to order the Third Battalion to retreat from Huayuan City, he had not received any reports from Battalion Commander Niu. Presumably, the Third Battalion was already on the way back.
Zhang Xian thought for a while and said: "Now we can only send the special agent company up, and then take out a company from the second battalion to go to Lishan to support."
Yu Changle also nodded and said: "This is what we have to do now. The first battalion on the western front and the two companies of the second battalion should be able to block the enemy's way; we cannot move the two companies of the guard battalion in the north. In order to prevent the enemy from coming at the entrance of the cave, two more companies from Kuriyama in the south can be sent over, which is equivalent to the strength of a battalion. However, according to the phone call just made by Company Commander Wang just now, it is still a little insufficient. Kyutaro Sekine obviously put all his troops together. Divide it into two and attack Yulan Town from the west and south. This is a hub. Once captured by him, his entire brigade will be saved."
Zhang Xian nodded and said: "So we can't let his wishful thinking decide. We must not lose this place. The third battalion should be on its way back from Huayuan City to the north at this time. I am afraid that we will encounter these Japanese. Now. We can't contact Battalion Commander Niu, so I have to trouble you to make a trip and intercept Battalion Commander Niu's third battalion on the road, and then attack from the enemy's back, attacking from both sides, and defeating them at Lishan Mountain. under."
"This is really a good chess move!" Yu Changle couldn't help but praise: "Okay, I'll intercept the third battalion right now!"
Before leaving the regiment headquarters, Yu Changle warned Zhang Xian again: "Brother Xian, I know that since the battle in Changde, you have not been willing to believe in our reinforcements. But this battle is also very dangerous for us. If the enemy from the north of the cave entrance If the Japs come again, we will be surrounded by them on three sides and almost in danger, so we must ask for reinforcements from the top!"
Zhang Xian was startled for a moment and nodded.
After Yu Changle left, Zhang Xian recalled his warning and walked to the map to study it carefully. He couldn't help but secretly agree, and immediately ordered the radio operator to send a message to Commander Zhang of the 57th Division to ask for his help. According to Zhang Xian's idea, if the National Army's 58th Division, which is following the enemy's 58th Brigade, rushes quickly, the 169th Regiment can successfully complete the task of blocking the enemy without reinforcements. The enemy brigade will definitely abandon the attack on Yulan and flee eastward; fearing that the 58th Division will not be able to catch up in time, the 169th Regiment will be trapped by the enemy on three sides, and there may be undesirable consequences. to the result.
The content of Zhang Xian's telegram was very urgent and related to the success or failure of the counterattack. Therefore, Commander Zhang Linfu also knew the seriousness of the situation and immediately forwarded it to Commander Shi of the 74th Army, requesting Commander Shi to urgently order the 58th Division Chase the enemy tail to tail to relieve the 169th Regiment from being trapped by the enemy from both sides.
Soon, Zhang Xian received a telegram from Commander Zhang, telling him that the 58th Division was being intercepted by the enemy's rearguard near the Loess Mine and was trying its best to tear through the enemy's defense line and strive to attack the 169th Regiment. Advance. Just in case, Commander Zhang detached the 170th Regiment from the units that were besieging the enemy's 133rd Regiment and asked it to be transferred from Gulou via Shasha Ridge to Yulan to assist the 169th Regiment. According to the itinerary, It should arrive before dawn the next day.
After receiving this telegram, Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how the battle situation develops, as long as the 169th Regiment can support until dawn the next day, he will be in an invincible position.
That is to say, just when he was relieved, the guards of the 57th Division who were on guard in the northHe roared and struggled to pull out the bayonet. The blood spurted far away and splashed directly on the Japs face. The Japs were stunned for a moment, but the rifle was taken away from him, and he reversed the bayonet and stabbed it straight into the opponent's lower abdomen.
The hand-to-hand fighting all around became more and more intense, the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse, and the entire Yangjiapo position became a wrestling field. Hundreds of people fought in close quarters, dyeing the entire hilltop red. However, the Japs are gathering more and more, and the national army on the position has become a lonely force. This was originally a battle without any suspense. For Matsushita Yasujiro, it is definitely inevitable to win. But at this time, fighter planes from the Chinese and American Air Forces appeared in the sky. These fighter planes seemed to be aware of the fierce battle on this position. Seven or eight of them swooped down and fired at the Japanese on both sides of the hillside, while dropping pieces of bombs. When the napalm bomb exploded in the crowd of Japanese soldiers, almost everyone who was touched by it was on fire and burned. These Japanese soldiers were crying and rolling on the ground, and some were burned alive by the fire. It was too horrible to watch.
It was precisely because of the timely appearance of the air force that these Japanese soldiers, who had just been in sight of victory, were pushed back. When Captain Shen led the entire company of soldiers to drive the last Japanese from the position, he also fell to the ground.
The health worker quickly stepped forward to bandage the wound of his company commander. At the same time, the orderly soldier also brought the phone command from Commander Zhang Xian, ordering the company to immediately retreat from the Yangjiapo position and move to Huangli Mountain.
Captain Shen, who was still fainting under the treatment of the health workers, immediately regained consciousness as soon as he heard the order to evacuate the position. He couldn't believe that this was the order from Commander Zhang Xian, and that the position he had finally held was surrendered like this. Give it to the Japanese? He felt very dissatisfied, and with the help of the health worker, he forced himself along the tunnel and walked into the underground command post that was half hidden in the earth. He answered the call of the regiment commander and asked in his weak voice: "Captain , we just repelled a two-sided attack from the enemy and managed to hold on to this position, why? Why do you want us to give up? "
On the other side of the phone, Zhang Xian's order was very firm: "Captain Shen, we don't have enough troops, so we must concentrate all our troops. We have strong firepower and air superiority, so that we can ensure that we are not defeated by the enemy." Defeat each one! I know your company fought well, but you must obey the interests of the whole group!"
Company Commander Shen was stunned for a moment, and could only reluctantly answer: "Yes! Commander!"
At this time, Matsushita Yasujiro was actively arranging anti-aircraft artillery fire on the ground to counter the air strikes of the Chinese and American air forces. Once upon a time, in the skies of China, only Japanese fighter planes could bombard Chinese soldiers and civilians without scruples. But at this moment, that has become a thing of the past, and the aerial glory of the Japanese Empire has gone forever. .
Because of the cover of the Chinese and American air forces, Captain Shen and his half-defunct company safely withdrew from Yang Jiabo's position. When he saw Zhang Xian in Huangli Mountain, Captain Shen He fell down in front of his captain and never woke up again! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
