When the staff heard this, he said nothing more.
But he had vaguely thought about why Wen Haoxuan stopped his troops here and stopped moving forward to support Teng County.
Because Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Brigade is inside! The Xia Yang who once embarrassed Wen Haoxuan!
After giving the order, Wen Haoxuan took out a cigar, lit it and held it in his mouth.
He took a deep breath and then blew the smoke out of his mouth.
The slowly rising smoke is like the gunpowder smoke that lingers in the sky above Teng County.
It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to rescue Xia Yang, he is just waiting. Waiting for Xia Yang to suffer greater losses, let him beg himself, let him beg himself to support them.
He did not believe that Xia Yang's fourth brigade and the 122nd Division with extremely poor equipment could withstand the attack of a Japanese division.
And he could tell from the gunshots and artillery fire from the front. The attack of the Japanese 10th Brigade was quite fierce! Obviously, he wants to use this day to completely capture the entire Teng County!
"Come here and beg me! Beg me properly, and I will go and support you." Wen Haoxuan thought like this, and began to say to the staff officer next to him: "Send a report to the Fourth Brigade. We have now arrived at the outskirts of Teng County. It won¡¯t take long to enter Teng County and support their operations. Please make sure they block the Japanese attack!¡±
The battle on the first line of defense lasted until noon.
Commander Wang of the 122nd Division, after talking on the phone with Huang Chengcheng of the second line of defense, began to retreat to the rear during the gap between the Japanese attacks.
They withstood the Japanese army¡¯s non-stop attack for five hours!
Although they annihilated a large number of Japanese troops, their 122nd Division also paid a heavy price. The guard battalion directly under the division headquarters was directly destroyed by the Japanese army. The guard battalion of more than 500 people originally had less than 200 people left after such a battle.
In addition, other troops also suffered huge losses.
In just five hours, they lost more than a thousand commanders and combatants. The entire 122nd Division has been completely disabled!
Xia Yang watched the remnants of the 122nd Division moving towards their position along the dilapidated streets.
Most of those soldiers were in ragged clothes and had traces of blood on their faces.
Under the noon sun, they looked a little depressed. Fatigue and relief, at this time, enveloped every soldier of the 122nd Division.
The wounded man was lying on a simple stretcher made of door panels, making wailing sounds. Because there was no good medical equipment, many of the wounded were unable to reach the field hospitals in the rear and died on the road directly from their injuries.
Watching them pass through their own position, the soldiers of the fourth brigade stood on the position and watched them retreat along the bridge over the Jing River to the southern city of Asing.
"Salute!" Xia Yang shouted.
Hearing Xia Yang¡¯s order, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade raised their arms one after another, and gave standard military salutes to these withdrawn soldiers one after another, like flags fluttering in the wind.
Teacher Wang walked up to Xia Yang. There was a scar on his face. It was a stray bullet from the little devil that scratched his cheek. If the bullet had been deflected even slightly, he wouldn't be standing in front of Xia Yang now.
"Brother! We lasted for five hours, and the rest will be left to you!" Teacher Wang did not dare to speak too loudly.
Because of the scars on his face, he would be in great pain if his facial muscles moved too much.
Xia Yang patted Mr. Wang on the shoulder, and then said: "Don't worry! Mr. Wang! Leave the rest to us!"
The two of them saluted each other without saying anything. Everything no longer needs to be explained in words.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire in front became intensive again.
Commander Wang and Xia Yang looked forward at the same time. The Japanese army was attacking too frequently. At this time, they had already begun to attack the second line of defense.
The Japanese attack this time became more fierce than before.
Looking at the continuous artillery fire ahead and the dense gunfire like exploding beans, Xia Yang began to secretly sweat for the 132nd Regiment.
The number of the 132nd Regiment was small. Even if the 122nd Division sent a regiment to support them, the total number would be less than 2,000. Coupled with the casualties from the previous two days of fighting, the actual defensive strength of the second line of defense was only 1,300 to 400 people.
The key thing is that their equipment is not very good. Although Xia Yang gave them aHeavy machine guns, but the role these heavy machine guns can play in the face of such a large number of Japanese attacks is very limited.
"Get me Captain Huang." Xia Yang said to Xiao Yuebing next to him.
After Xiao Yuebing heard this, he immediately used a walkie-talkie to connect with Huang Chengcheng who was stationed at the second line of defense.
"What's wrong? Brigadier Xia!" Huang Chengcheng shouted loudly, because if he spoke too softly, he would be drowned by the huge explosions and dense gunfire.
Xia Yang was afraid that Huang Chuancheng couldn't hear what he said, so he also raised his voice and shouted: "Captain Huang, how long can you hold on! If you really can't hold on any longer, just tell me, and our Fourth Brigade will give it to you." Provide cover to allow you to safely retreat to the south of the city."
Hearing this, Huang Chengcheng smiled and said: "I appreciate Brigadier Xia's kindness! The brothers of the 122nd Division worked with the Japs for five hours. We don't have that many people in the 132nd Regiment, but we are not cowards! We Stay here for three hours! Let the brothers in the fourth brigade eat in peace and then take a nap! After you are full of energy, come and pick up our shift!"
These words made Xia Yang quite moved.
Xia Yang knew that Huang Chuansheng was risking the lives of everyone in their 132nd regiment.
He replied: "Don't be brave! Captain Huang, you only have so many people in your hands. If you fight them all, you will have nothing."
Huang Chuanchan was silent for a long time, and then said: "Brigadier Xia, I, Huang Chuanhua, am twenty-two in my thirties this year, and I have never seen any great heroes. But Brigadier Xia, you are a great hero! I, Huang Chuanchan, admire you! If I died in battle today, don¡¯t forget to burn some paper money for me in the coming year!¡±
After saying that, he hung up the walkie-talkie.
The sound of cannons and gunfire became more violent.
Xia Yang put down the walkie-talkie, then took a few steps forward, looking at the block ahead that was shrouded in smoke and explosions.
At this moment, the more than a thousand Chinese soldiers were fighting hand to hand with the Japanese army.
At this moment, Xia Yang felt that his eyes seemed to have passed through the heavy smoke. Behind the smoke, a group of bloody national soldiers fired all the bullets in their guns, then rushed out of the room and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese army!
The battle on the second line of defense lasted until about two o'clock in the afternoon. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
