Chapter 858 Entering Gutang Town
"Hurry up! Brothers, please keep up! This is the order from the regiment!"
A junior officer of the national army was shouting, looking at his military rank, he was a captain. If he guessed correctly, he should be an ordinary company commander of the first police regiment.
The long team was squirming like a long snake on the grassy ground, but their speed was already very fast!
Looking at this team, it can be said that the order during the march is very orderly, with no signs of disorder.
This is obviously an elite team!
This is not the Japanese army, this is the elite unit of the Chinese army!
They received an order from the group to assemble urgently, and they were about to go up and fight with the little devil.
Nearly 4,500 troops have already marched towards Gutang Town, an important town in Jiujiang. The second Jiujiang Operation has slowly begun!
…
At this time, Gutang Town has become an empty city, or more accurately, a dilapidated empty city.
Gutang Town used to be an important town in Jiujiang County. Because it was close to Poyang Lake, the economy here was very prosperous - but this can only be the past.
Due to the invasion of the Japanese invaders, fierce land and air artillery bombardment destroyed this once prosperous town beyond recognition. There were ruins everywhere. The smoke in the sky had long since dissipated, leaving only the desolation after the war.
Gutang Town was destroyed by artillery fire, but the Japanese had not yet evacuated, so these people were not able to return to their homes to repair their houses and find a peaceful paradise for themselves.
Life is more important than home. Only by surviving can we start a new and beautiful life.
For the unarmed people, everything is based on survival.
The people can leave, but the soldiers cannot. Their task is to defend the country and fight to defend their homeland. They are the last line of defense for this backward country!
Under this situation, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Guard Regiment of the 9th War Zone entered this dilapidated town...
Li Chunfei, who once looked like a dashing young man, has become very mature. His handsome face is full of composure, and he looks a bit like Zhang Tianhai in this aspect.
It is true that what kind of people lead the same kind of soldiers.
Standing on the commanding heights of the outer positions of Gutang Town, his military boots making a sound on the ground, Li Chunfei lit a cigarette, seemingly not afraid of the incoming Japanese artillery fire.
The smoke quickly dissipated under the breeze, but it did not dissipate the sorrow between Li Chunfei's brows.
"Battal Commander, the troops have basically entered the scene now, please give instructions!" a battalion staff officer reported.
Li Chunfei thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Send out the security troops, and the rest of the troops will enter the town to build fortifications."
For Li Chunfei, although he had not received an order from his regiment to defend Gutang at this time, it was right to make preparations first. If something unexpected happened... we would talk about it later.
"Yes! Sir!!" the battalion staff officer responded, and then went to carry out Li Chunfei's military order.
From Li Chunfei's point of view, he has no way of knowing the changes in the general situation around him. All he can do is preventive measures, and his first battalion is the most capable unit in the entire police regiment. If even his unit
Being pushed to the ground and beaten at the beginning would be very detrimental to subsequent progress.
"Lao Lu is in the hospital, and Wang Ziqing has also died. I don't know if I, Li Chunfei, can survive this battle... That's all, let's play with these little devils first. Our regiment is the most elite unit of the national army.
, we have won countless battles, if you want to fight, then fight." Li Chunfei murmured, and a heroic spirit suddenly arose in his heart.
As Li Chunfei's first battalion stationed in Gutang Town, Yang Jiquan's third battalion also arrived, followed by Wang Yongcheng's cavalry battalion (which lacked a company for reconnaissance missions).
"Brother Chunfei, brother Jiquan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We have been training for a long time, and we can finally fight side by side." Wang Yongcheng grinned, still as cheerful as a Northeastern man.
"Battal Commander Wang, you used to be in charge of the fourth battalion and one of our infantry battalion commanders, but now you are in trouble. The cavalry battalion has become the leader of the battalion-level force of the first police regiment. It is really gratifying and congratulatory.
"Li Chunfei laughed and said.
"Captain Li was joking. After all, our cavalry battalion is only a strategic support unit. When it comes to fighting tough battles, you still need your infantry battalion." Having traveled through the world in his early years, Wang Yongcheng was not the only Northeastern man to be straightforward. To put it mildly,
He will do the same.
"Okay, Lao Wang, let's not talk about anything else. Let's make a long story short! This time our three battalions have assembled first, and it is estimated that the regiment leader will lead the large troops from the regiment soon. This Gutang
My battalion has already been stationed in the town. We have to discuss how to fight the next battle." Li Chunfei is Zhang Tianhai's number one general after all, and he can still make decisions on many things.
"Should we make arrangements now? We can't wait until the group arrives before assigning tasks?" Yang Jiquan said hesitantly. After all, he had heard that his immediate boss was quite powerful.
"Yes, let's make arrangements now! It will be too late when the regiment arrives. According to the report from the cavalry reconnaissance company ahead, the enemy has begun preparing to cross the river. If we don't prepare, it may be too late." Li Chunfei
He made a decision immediately, and he believed that the group members would not blame him for it.
What's more, it's the right decision.
"Okay! Now our cavalry battalion will temporarily obey Battalion Commander Li's arrangements." As an old comrade, Wang Yongcheng was the first to respond.
Yang Jiquan looked at Wang Yongcheng, then at Li Chunfei, nodded, and said: "Okay, until the regimental commander's order comes, our department will temporarily obey Battalion Commander Li's arrangements."
"Okay, that's it. Our battalion will guard Gutang Town for the time being. Commander Yang's third battalion will be responsible for guarding the nearby commanding heights, and Lao Wang's cavalry battalion will be responsible for peripheral security. After all, we don't have many troops on hand now. According to this
At least we can keep the arrangement for a while." Li Chunfei said sternly. In his opinion, this distribution method is most appropriate at the moment.
"Is there a map of this area? As far as I know, the nearby mountains are not very high." Yang Jiquan, the commander of the third battalion, said hesitantly. He also roughly studied the terrain nearby and found that there was nothing beneficial.
location.
Li Chunfei thought for a while, then asked a staff officer beside him to come over, then opened the map, pointed to the northwest, and said: "There is a mountain in the northwest of Gutang Town, namely Anjing Mountain. If your troops are stationed there, they can attack
Gutang Town has formed a horn, and if the Japanese army wants to surround us, it may not be that easy."
"That's fine, but if the Japanese army catches you and beats you, I'm afraid the situation will be very passive." Wang Yongcheng expressed worry.
"No, when the regiment comes, we won't have just this few people. The secret service company, the gendarmerie team, the guard company, these troops add up to a battalion. What's more, there are also the second battalion and the small artillery.
Company, mortar company, artillery battalion? We will not be too weak in this battle." Li Chunfei said confidently, he believed that the regiment would not just watch their whole battalion be wiped out.
