Company Commander Xiao Li held his breath and stared, his eyes were aimed without blinking, his fingers pulled the trigger of the rifle, only to hear a piercing bullet sound, and the bullet that had been specially modified by him rushed out of the chamber and flew towards the explosive bag placed high on the fortifications.
I only heard an earth-shattering explosion, and all the things that could explode in the fortifications exploded one after another, along with the ghost soldiers who rushed in, all of them were blown into the sky by this series of explosions, and the houses next to the fortifications were blown up to earth and rocks, turning into flying stones and smashing into the devils who rushed behind them, and the huge continuous shock wave was like the waves in the ocean, attacking the devils who rushed over, overturning a large number of devil soldiers, and the devil officer who led the charge was blown apart. disappeared, and most of the rest of the little devils who entered the fortifications became ghosts, so frightened that the devils who did not die behind hurriedly lay down on the spot, covered their heads with their hands, and no longer dared to rush forward.
Company Commander Xiao Li took this opportunity to quickly throw away the things on his body, and ran towards the Hengtang River as if flying, and soon caught up with the brothers who evacuated first.
After a while, a team of more than 100 people appeared in front of them, and Company Commander Xiao Li's heart tightened suddenly: Could it be that the little devil came back from behind and intercepted us here If this is the case, our brothers who are less than ten will have to be all explained here, or not, they will all die anyway, and they will die happily, come on, Lao Tzu still has a few bullets, and I will fight with you Company Commander Xiao Li immediately ordered his brothers to disperse and prepare for battle, and at this moment, a tall man in the opposite team shouted to the brothers on this side at the top of his voice: "Those brothers on the other side, don't be afraid, we are from the second regiment." ” It was Ge Sanmin's subordinates who shouted, and they saw seven or eight ragged men running out of the direction of the village, the military hats on their heads had long been gone, and their bodies were full of soot.
Xiao Li and they heard the familiar shouts of their comrades, and immediately cried with joy, and a few brothers simply sat on the ground, hugged each other and cried, and walked around from the Grim Reaper, and now they finally met their own people, whether they can be emotional or cry happily at this time, is the best way to vent the grief of losing their comrades.
Ge Sanmin then arrived, and when he saw these broken brothers, he hurriedly stepped forward, held Xiao Li's hand and said, "You guys are good, you didn't embarrass our second regiment, we are late, I can't stop you." ” Xiao Li was very excited at this time, holding Ge Sanmin's hand for a while, he couldn't speak, as if something was stuffed in his throat, he couldn't speak, and he always shook Ge Sanmin with his hand.
After a while, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning also hurried here, and said to Xiao Li and them: "You are the glory of our second regiment, thank you for buying time for our large army, hard work, the comrades who sacrificed and you brothers who came out alive are all good, you should be given a great credit, Comrade Xiao Li, you are not only brave in battle, but also have good command, you are a commander with great potential, I have decided to promote you to the deputy commander of the second battalion of Ge Sanmin, together with Comrade Ge Sanmin, Forge this second battalion into a team that can defend and fight. ” Xiao Li was very surprised when he heard Zhou Wu's words, he suddenly moved from the company commander to the deputy battalion commander, feeling a little too sudden, and hurriedly said to Zhou Wu: "Regiment commander, we should stay and hold our positions, if you ordered other brothers to stick here, they would be able to play the same prestige, I can't just because of this break to get promoted, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on other comrades." ” Zhou Wu: "Xiao Li, you don't have to worry about this, you have the ability to take the position of this deputy battalion commander, the chief of staff and the political commissar are all there, and we can have a temporary meeting to discuss it when we get to Shen Jiabang." ” The political commissar Niu and Ding Ning next to him, as well as Director Xia, who had been out of breath all the way, all nodded in agreement with Zhou Wu's proposal, if you have anything to say, go back to that Shen Jiabang first, and then evacuate quickly, I'm afraid that the little devils who landed on the shore behind will catch up.
So, Ge Sanmin ordered his brothers to carry Xiao Li and them on stretchers, and followed the large army of the Second Regiment to the northwest and set off towards Shenjiabang, the main transportation route.
Along the way, Xiao Li reported to Zhou Wu in detail the situation after the break, Zhou Wu and they listened, their faces were solemn, and they felt sad for the sacrifice of more than thirty good brothers here, it was their stubborn resistance in the village, so that Zhou Wu and they could have enough time to intercept the devil wing who was crossing the river, and they could retreat in the case of unfavorable battles, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the large army of the second regiment can withdraw from the Hengtang River.
When Zhou Wu and the others rushed to Shenjiabang with most of the second regiment, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Ercheng and Wang Tuan Commander were waiting for Zhou Wu and them to come back, and when they saw that the brothers were all covered with muddy water, like mud monkeys, they hurriedly asked: "Luzao, how many little devils have come, where are they now?"
Zhou Wu said to Zhang Ercheng and Commander Wang: "The devil has a wing, there are armored vehicles and cars, and an artillery squadron, which is not small, I think we have to strengthen the vigilance here tonight, and send the scout brothers to go out ten miles to reconnoiter to prevent the little devil from sneaking up on the camp while it is dark." ” Zhang Ercheng and Commander Wang hurriedly went to prepare, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning ordered the brothers of the Second Regiment to take turns to rest on the spot in Shenjiabang, and sent scouts and light and dark sentries to patrol back and forth to prevent little devils from sneaking up at night.
Commander Wang hurriedly let out his regimental headquarters and wanted to leave it for Zhou Wu and them to rest, but Zhou Wu refused: "Commander Wang, you don't have to be so polite, we can rest outside, anyway, we are used to it, I don't care about staying together so much tonight, you hurry up and arrange the fortifications and sentry posts in front, keep your eyes open, and keep an eye on the little devil who touches me." ” Commander Wang saw that Zhou Wu was so good at talking, and felt that the commander of the New Fourth Army was different from those Kuomintang officers, although Zhou Wu was also a Kuomintang officer before, but compared to other officers, he was more like a cadre of the New Fourth Army.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning ran for a day, and fought with the little devil, they already felt tired, and they didn't even wipe off the muddy water on their bodies, so they casually found a place outside, lay down and fell asleep, and when they woke up, it was already dawn, Zhou Wu got up and said to Ding Ning next to him: "Ding Ning, get up quickly, it's dawn." ” Ding Ning heard Zhou Wu's shout, and hurriedly got up, at this time, Zhang Ercheng and Head Wang, who had been waiting outside all night, hurriedly ran over and reported to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, I didn't find any little devils last night, and even those scout brothers who went out more than ten miles ago didn't find out that there were devils, and it is estimated that the little devils didn't continue to come to Shen Jiabang last night." ” When Zhou Wu heard this, his heart relaxed a little, but he was very puzzled: "Why don't those little devils who chased over take advantage of the darkness last night to attack and fight, and pay attention to it, could it be that those devils want to wait until today during the day to launch a large-scale attack on Shen Jiabang under the cover of the plane."
Zhou Wu thought of this, and hurriedly said to Ding Ning and them: "Ding Ning, I think there will be a fierce battle during the day today, the devils didn't come with them last night, they just want to attack Shen Jiabang during the day under the cover of the devil's aircraft artillery, because they also know that without the cover of aircraft fire at night, they can't attack a place like Shen Jiabang with strong fortifications."
Therefore, we should be ready to fight, meet these invading devils, block them here in Shen Jiabang, and buy time for our column to encircle and suppress Wang's puppet army. ” Ding Ning also nodded, and said: "Brigade is right, of course the little devils know the fortification structure here, if they come to attack last night, I'm afraid they won't be able to take much advantage, only with the fire support of the aircraft during the day today, they will be more sure to attack here."
We don't have any anti-aircraft weapons now, and it seems that we can only be bombed by devil planes. ” Political Commissar Niu and Political Commissar Niu also agreed with Zhou Wu's judgment and said to everyone: "Comrade Zhou Wu is right, the devil has the fierce firepower in the sky and the ground to rely on, and he will definitely launch a fierce attack on Shen Jiabang during the day today, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, I don't think there is any need to put the strength of the second regiment here, the place here is small, and it is already crowded enough to accommodate Commander Wang and Zhang Ercheng.
We need to think of a way to deal with these devils. ” Zhou Wu agreed with Commissar Niu's analysis, and said to Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, I think that if this is not the case, it is still up to Commander Wang and Zhang Ercheng and their artillery to stick here, and our second regiment, which has nearly 2,000 brothers, took the initiative to attack, went around to the middle of the devil team, and gave them a halt to do so, regardless of whether the action was successful or not, our interception will definitely be able to disrupt the offensive deployment of the devil wing, as long as the devil does not attack Shen Jiabang, then our goal can be achieved, even if the little devil at that time reluctantly launched an attack on Shen Jiabang, I see that Commander Wang and Zhang Ercheng can also resist the attack of the devils with their strong permanent fortifications and artillery firepower in Shenjiabang, and when the time comes, we will make another big U-turn, and suddenly rush over from the opposite side of the devils, and we are not afraid that these little devils will give up the attack and turn to the defense. ” t1706231537:
