Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Guangyu, who originally went up to Guanmenzuizi Mountain to see the position so that his regiment could take over and lay out the defense, found out when he saw Wang Xiaoming that this guy had never thought about handing over the position. He had never thought about it at all.  Continue to defend passively.  [.Com text] He had already predicted it and started to counterattack as soon as he came up.

    Wang Guangyu was stunned when he heard Wang Xiaoming's counterattack plan.  He understood what Wang Xiaoming meant. This guy wanted to take advantage of the time difference while the main force of the 104th Division was still on the way to defeat or even eat up the 108th Regiment in front of him.

    After listening to Wang Xiaoming's counterattack plan, Wang Guangyu pondered for a moment and said: "Old Wang, the battalion you have on hand is basically exhausted now, and it is no longer less than one company of troops. And I only have two battalions on hand.  The Japanese army on the opposite side has a whole regiment. Even if they suffer a lot of casualties in the battle with you, there should be at least two brigades. "

    "Even according to the standards of the Battle of Qunce Mountain, one regiment of our army can completely annihilate the Japanese army and a strengthened brigade. But that is also under the condition of absolute superiority in firepower. I do not have mountain artillery on hand, and the regiment is directly under the mortar company and infantry  The artillery battery is still halfway there. It won¡¯t be possible for us to arrive in at least two hours.¡±

    "According to our current strength and firepower structure, even if we barely manage to defeat the 108th Regiment, our army will suffer more than half of its casualties. By then, what strength will we have to defend Xingshan Fortress? We now only have half a pound of strength.  How can you eat eight taels of food in one sitting?"

    "In addition to leaving Du Kaishan's third regiment and a reinforced mountain artillery battalion in Qunce Mountain, the commander is commanding the headquarters and all the troops that can be mobilized, even the recruits from the supplementary regiment who have been trained for less than a month.  The field artillery battalion of the direct artillery regiment has been strengthened and is heading here at night."

    "We don't know who can get here first between the follow-up troops commanded by the commander and the main force of the 104th Division. Once our losses are too great and the 104th Division arrives before the follow-up troops led by the commander  . By that time, we no longer have the strength to face the two regiments behind the 104th Division."

    Wang Guangyu is not timid, nor does he want to eat up the 108th Regiment.  But with limited troops at hand, he did not dare to risk investing the only two battalions at once.  Once there are too many casualties during the attack, follow-up troops will not be able to arrive in time.  Facing two regiments of Japanese troops, the Xingshan Fortress could no longer be defended.

    Seeing Wang Guangyu hesitate, Wang Xiaoming put the telescope into his hand and said: "Old Wang, look at the Japanese corpses all over the mountains and plains. One of my battalions and four independent companies were almost all wiped out, but the small  The Japanese's casualties will definitely not be light. Not counting the dead and wounded who have been dragged back, the number of corpses left on this mountain without time to be dragged back is more than a squadron. "

    "I guess it's good that the little devil can barely gather two brigades now. But if he puts the strength of these two brigades on the front line, will he still need flanks? Without the flank covering troops, will they?  Are you really confident and brave enough to launch a life-threatening attack? No matter how arrogant the little devils are, they will not be so domineering as to fight in this mountainous area without even requiring flank cover."

    "You don't have artillery, but I still have the strength of a mountain artillery company. Not counting mortars, infantry guns, and four mountain cannons, there are enough artillery shells. No matter how difficult the situation was before, I never used it. As long as our counterattack  From the beginning, my artillery can take out the Japanese artillery within the first time.¡±

    "Although I can no longer piece together a whole company, I still have nearly a thousand rescued prisoners of war above me. Although these prisoners of war are still weak, they are all veterans. I have not mentioned the skills and tactics. To be honest  , I used these people to suppress the enemy's last attack. Without them, I would have lost the Guanzuizi Mountain just by relying on most of my remaining company."

    "The most important thing is that the Japs don't know that we have already arrived with two complete infantry battalions of reinforcements. And there are two more battalions of reinforcements that are about to arrive. Lao Wang, our regiment leader is leading two battalions from Hebei.  We are marching as fast as we can. Even if we suffer too many casualties and cannot bear the follow-up battle, we can leave it to the two battalions led by Liu Changshun."

    "Unexpectedly, I pressed down from the front, and you kicked them hard from the flank. At the same time, you sent a troop to go back behind them and block the route of their reinforcements into the mountain."

    "With two flanking attacks, even if you can't eat them in one bite, it won't be a problem to defeat them. You see, they have focused their main attention on the front. Although there are some covering forces on both wings, there is only one squadron. Yours  If two battalions with sufficient ammunition and complete light and heavy firepower cannot even defeat this, then it will really be a disaster for the commander.??face.  "

    Wang Guangyu frowned at Wang Xiaoming's provocative method, but did not fall into the trap.  He has always been steady. How could he not know about Wang Xiaoming, an old comrade he had worked with in the same division when he was working in the Fifth Army?  Although he disagreed with his opinion, the news that Liu Changshun's two battalions were about to arrive made him somewhat moved.

    After carefully observing the position of the Japanese 108th Regiment with a telescope for a long time, Wang Guangyu put down the telescope in his hand and carefully considered the feasibility of Wang Xiaoming's plan.

    The 108th Regiment was very arrogant, even though the previous attack had resulted in severe injuries.  But because no artillery fire has been found from the opponent except grenade launchers so far.  Therefore, a blazing bonfire was lit outside the effective range of the defenders' heavy machine guns.  On the one hand, it is used for lighting and heating, and on the other hand, it is used to incinerate the corpses of the war dead.

    The blazing bonfires used to illuminate and cremate the bodies of the war dead illuminated the entire Japanese position.  Wang Guangyu easily observed the actual situation of the Japanese army.

    Looking at the unsuspecting Japanese army position, Wang Guangyu hesitated for a long time. After making up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said to Wang Xiaoming beside him: "Okay, Lao Wang, I will listen to you this time, and we will fight together."  Even if he can't eat the 08th Regiment in an unordered battle, he will at least bite off a piece of his flesh."

    Determined to fight back, the two men immediately squatted in the trench and began to plan in detail.  As for the 108th Alliance on the opposite side, they were already exhausted.  After the last attack was defeated, at least tonight, there was no strength left to launch an attack.

    As for the terrain from Guanmenzuizi Mountain to Xingshan Street, Wang Xiaoming has long been familiar with it.  After listening to Wang Xiaoming's explanation of the terrain around the Japanese positions, Wang Guangyu pondered for a moment and said: "Xiaoming, we are all from the Fifth Army. Before you were transferred to the headquarters as deputy chief of staff, you served as a political commissar in the Third Division."

    "Before I was transferred to the position of deputy commander of the Fourth Army, when I was the division commander of the Second Division, I remember that you were the chief of staff of the Second Division at that time. We have worked together. Although the time has not been long, we are all familiar acquaintances. We don't know each other in person.  To lie, the important thing in this battle is not the 108th Regiment, but their follow-up troops.¡±

    "Didn't you already interrogate the captured wounded soldiers of the Japanese army and know that at least two of their regiments are rushing here? In other words, before we counterattack, we must block Congxingshan with one force.  The road goes north to the mountain pass, and the location of this unit is the most important position in this counterattack."

    "On the one hand, they must block the 108th Regiment's way of breaking out. On the other hand, they must firmly hold the mountain pass before the battle is over and cannot let the main force of the 104th Division enter the mountain. Otherwise, once we are fighting with this  During the fierce battle of the 108th Regiment, if the main force of the 104th Division pounces from behind, it will be a disaster for us. "

    Wang Xiaoming strongly agrees with Wang Guangyu¡¯s precise focus.  After all, he is an old guy, and he can see the key point at a glance.  But how many troops should be sent is the most troublesome thing for the two of them.  Sending too many troops will affect the strength of the troops facing the encirclement and annihilation of the 108th Regiment.  The number of troops was reduced, and there were still two entire regiments of Japanese troops behind them.

    Although both of them are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, both sides saw the hesitation in the other's eyes on this matter.  They all knew what the situation would be like once the main force of the Japanese army arrived, waiting for the troops stationed at the mountain pass to cut off the retreat of the 108th Regiment.  It is said that it is good to use the weak against the strong, but in fact it is simply a pincer attack from both inside and outside.

    This difficult choice caused the two people who had just been having a heated discussion to fall into a somewhat awkward silence.  After a long time, Wang Xiaoming gritted his teeth and said: "Old Wang, since the main force here is now your army. In this way, I will take half of my patchwork army to cut off the Japanese's retreat."

    "They haven't recovered their physical strength yet, so I'm afraid they won't be able to charge forward. But there's still no problem with blocking. It's just that in order to save their physical strength, you give me all the horses in your group. As for the remaining one I have  The company, the remaining half, and the platoon still at Xingshan Fortress will be given to you to fight back. "

    At this point, Wang Xiaoming stopped Wang Guangyu who was about to speak and said: "Old Wang, we don't have much time to hesitate. If we spend one more minute here, the main force of the 104th Division will be one step closer to Xingshan Street. We must  We have to gain all the time, and the sooner we launch this counterattack, the better.¡±

    "I estimate that as long as we can defeat the 108th Regiment in this battle, the initiative in this battle with Xingshan Fortress as the core will be firmly in our own hands. Even if we lose the front line of Guanzuizi Mountain  , but after Liu Changshun arrived, relying on the various structures built by the Japanese troops on the mountain,There is absolutely no problem in preparing fortifications and holding the position on the mountain.  "

    "Let's not talk about whether the new recruits brought by the commander can arrive on time. As long as we wait until the main force of Liu Changshun's second regiment arrives, we can win this battle and even the battle to advance north."

    Knowing the price of Wang Xiaoming's departure, he might even bear the price of annihilation of the entire army.  But Wang Guangyu, who knew that what Wang Xiaoming said was not wrong, finally nodded after a slight hesitation.  However, I still warned him again and again: "Old Wang, don't fight to the death. You must follow the commander's usual teachings: heavy firepower at the front and light at the rear, light and heavy troops at the front, and use the terrain to fight back."

    "And this time I brought 200 electric mines made by our arsenal, and I gave them all to you. By the way, there are also 50 weapons called infantry directional mines that were designed and supervised by the commander himself.  , and leave it to you. My security class has learned how to operate this weapon, so you can take it with you."

    In addition to landmines, infantry directional mines and all horses, seeing that Wang Xiaoming was short of heavy weapons and had only two light machine guns left, Wang Guangyu transferred three more heavy machine guns to him.  At the same time, he added fifty rounds of ammunition to each of his motley crew and four grenades from the ammunition he carried.

    Time was running out, and Wang Xiaoming did not refuse Wang Guangyu's generosity. He knew that with only 500 temporarily armed miscellaneous troops on hand, once the main force of the 104th Division rushed up, he would probably not even attack the opponent twice.  Can't stop it.  With these additional weapons and ammunition, even if the Japanese army comes up one regiment at a time, there will be no problem at least holding on until dawn.

    After receiving the weapons and ammunition from Wang Guangyu, Wang Xiaoming saluted Wang Guangyu with a standard military salute. He didn't even have time to accept Wang Guangyu's return gift, so he hurriedly set off with his team.

    Looking at Wang Xiaoming's back disappearing into the night, Wang Guangyu's brows furrowed tightly knowing that they would be in trouble if they went there. He was silent for a long time and sighed: "Old comrade, take care. You must come back alive.  ¡±

    The urgency of time left Wang Guangyu little time to sigh.  After the roundabout troops led by Wang Xiaoming completely disappeared into the night, intense deployment began immediately.  He wanted to take down the 108th Regiment as quickly as possible.  In order to reduce the pressure that Wang Xiaoming will face.
