Gao Xiangfa hurriedly ordered the mortars to aim at the devils hiding behind the armored car and knock them out.
Several mortars bombarded all the little devils hiding behind the armored vehicles, and the rest of the national soldiers shot while moving closer to the stubborn devils, and finally sent the little devils into the sky with grenades and explosives bags.
The devil's vanguard had four tanks, four armored vehicles and more than 300 infantry, and not a single one was left.
Just when Ge Sanmin and the others were charging down the mountain, Ding Ning and Ming Zheng, who were in charge of blocking the pocket of the ambush circle, also launched an attack on the devil with more than 2,000 brothers, and they drove the devil to the road while shooting.
The desperate little devil had to rely on the wreckage of the bombed-out car to huddle on the narrow road and shoot at the approaching national army.
Ding Ning saw that the devil was already crowded on the highway, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and bring in a few cannons and bombard the highway."
The 1st Secret Service Regiment quickly got a few mortars, originally they had howitzers left over from the 11th Division, but those guys were too bulky to move, so they brought a few light mortars with them when they charged.
Ding Ning saw that at this time, the devils were huddled together on that road, no artillery, no mortars, and hurriedly let the artillery reload, first bombarded them a few times, and vented evil anger for the brothers who died in the fourth regiment.
The artillerymen quickly set up the mortars and began to reload and fire, and the shells exploded in a heap of imps, blasting them with flesh and blood, broken arms and legs everywhere.
Ding Ning and the others held their weapons and fired at the little devils, beating the devils who tried to return the bullets and were about to rush up to fight the bayonets.
The remaining thirty little devils hid behind the smoky car and shouted: "Don't fight, you have the ability to fight with bayonets alone" Everyone couldn't understand what the devil was chirping, so they hurriedly asked: "Chief of Staff, you have stayed in the ocean, what are the little devils chirping crookedly?"
"I don't know what kind of fart they're farting, just ignore it, just kill it."
Ding Ning obviously understood, but he didn't pay attention to the little devil's request.
When the stubborn little devils saw that the national army had no intention of dueling with them individually, they suddenly despaired, and they used weapons to kill themselves, and after a burst of gunfire, dozens of little devils all committed suicide, and none of them were alive.
Zhou Wu came over with someone, and Ming Zheng hurriedly greeted him: "Brother, this battle is too relieved, although there are not many devils eliminated, but the fight is refreshing, and our casualties are not large, it is really inspiring." ” Zhou Wu asked the fat man to hurry up and count the casualties of the troops, and soon the results were reported: seventy-five killed and one hundred and twenty wounded, such casualties were the smallest since the independent brigade held Niushou Mountain.
The casualties of the devils are unknown, but according to the estimates of the corpses left on the road, there were many dead, at least five or six hundred, and four tanks, four armored vehicles, more than 20 large troop trucks, and countless guns and ammunition were captured.
The sky slowly darkened, and Zhou Wu ordered to quickly clean up the battlefield, return to the original position, strengthen vigilance, increase light and dark sentry posts, send more reconnaissance personnel, pay attention to the movements of the little devils at any time, and strictly prevent them from sneaking up at night.
After returning to the position, Zhou Wu hurriedly took a bite of food, even avoided washing, and found a place to sleep nearby, he was so tired in the past two days that he snored as soon as his head was next to the marching bed.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Wu felt that someone was shaking him, as if his wife and children were bloody and came over, shouting: "Avenge us, avenge us." ” Zhou Wu was just about to speak, only to see his parents also trembling over, he looked at Dingqing, almost frightened, the second elder was covered in blood, his head was gone, and the voice from nowhere sounded in his ears.
"Son, you have to avenge us, if you do something sorry for your ancestors in the future, we will not let you go."
Zhou Wu woke up with an "ah", his body was covered with cold sweat, and there were Ding Ning and several staff officers of the brigade headquarters standing next to him, seeing Zhou Wu wake up, Ding Ning said: "Brigade seat, I see that you are sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake you up, but this matter is too important, I have to come to disturb in the middle of the night." ” Zhou Wu didn't seem to have woken up from the nightmare just now, his eyes stared at Ding Ning, and it took two minutes before he asked, "Tell me quickly, what's wrong?"
"The army commander just called and said that the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters had an order to withdraw all of our 79th Army from Niushou Mountain to defend Guanghuamen.
There must be no mistake in our independent brigade to arrive at Guanghuamen tomorrow, that is, in the early morning of December 11, to join up with the 33rd Division stationed there.
Ding Ning dictated the order of the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, and there was no expression on his face.
"Ah, why do you want to withdraw, why don't you guard Niushou Mountain, you have to crowd to Guanghuamen, there is a fart to think it is to catch the market" Zhou Wu didn't understand why the garrison headquarters suddenly issued this order, he had just won a rare battle, with the current strength of the independent brigade, it was completely possible to block the little devil outside Niushou Mountain, such an important pass, he would give up if he said to give up "I don't know much about this, it was the commander who called in person, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Ding Ning said hesitantly.
Zhou Wu immediately got up and asked the staff officer to call the military headquarters of the 79th Army, and he wanted to tell the commander what the order to retreat was about.
But soon the bad news came, the phone of the military department could not be reached, Zhou Wu was anxious, and asked the staff officer to contact him by radio, but after contacting him for a long time, he still could not be contacted.
Just when Zhou Wu was scratching his head because he couldn't contact the military headquarters, a rumbling roar suddenly came from the direction where the military headquarters was stationed, and they listened to it closely, it was artillery bombardment, large-scale shelling.
Zhou Wu was shocked, could it be that the little devil launched an attack on the military headquarters, so get the map The staff officer hurriedly brought the map and spread it out, Zhou Wu looked at it carefully, and suddenly smashed his fist on the map and shouted: "It was the 15th Division of the Japanese Army that attacked the military headquarters, and their location happened to be in the northeast direction of the military headquarters.
Originally, they wanted to attack from Niushou Mountain, but after being blocked here, they changed direction and attacked the military headquarters directly.
The little devil is so vicious, he gave us a salary from the bottom of the kettle in just one moment. ” "Yes, but I think it's strange, why didn't the commander mention anything on the phone just now, didn't he find out the movement of the 15th Division, it is impossible, such a big military operation, no clues are revealed, it is unreasonable."
Ding Ning analyzed.
Zhou Wu listened to the rumbling cannon sound of the military headquarters, and his heart was very anxious, he wanted to give an order to support, but was stopped by Ding Ning.
"Brigade seat, we must not be impulsive at this time, the military commander must have a reason for us to go to Guanghuamen.
If the little devil had already occupied the outer positions in the other three directions, then Jiangning would become a protruding position. ” "If the 15th Division is inserted from the direction of Zhenjiang, our 79th Army will be left alone.
I guess the old commander probably took this into account and ordered us to quickly withdraw to Guanghuamen.
In the final analysis, the old army commander is also to save a little seed of the 79th Army. ” t1706231537:
