I wonder if it was because of the fierce battle that lasted for more than 15 hours on a day like the 26th that the Songshan detachment was a little exhausted.
Or maybe it was because of the huge casualties that the Japanese's so-called special field force was unable to withstand the sudden advance.
In short, at about early 10 o'clock in the evening, the battlefield that was about to blow my brains out one second suddenly became quiet the next second.
Not only on the battlefield around the entire airport, the sound of gunfire suddenly subsided.
Even here at the Bajia Ridge position, Hu Biao and the others successfully loaded all the magazines and repaired all the firepower points in the trenches.
Even though they were prepared for all battles, no new group of Japanese soldiers came forward.
Damn it! Hu Biao and other members of the Zhongzhou team were not used to it coming so suddenly and quietly.
"Damn it, I'm so mean. Isn't the current situation a good thing?" After cursing in such a self-destructive manner, Hu Biao began to take advantage of such a rare opportunity to make arrangements.
No matter what the devil did, the ceasefire will give the team a little more time to repair, which is always a good thing for the team.
With such an idea in mind, Hu Biao began to make a series of arrangements:
"Original Sin, Qingtian, White Elephant, and Sinner, the four of you, hurry up and replace the barrels of the guns. After such a long shooting, these barrels are basically useless."
As he spoke, Hu Biao hid half of his body in a shell-proof hole next to him.
Avoiding the sight of the only three Guojun soldiers left on the position, he quickly exchanged two new barrels for the M2 Browning heavy machine gun from the system store.
The price of this thing is not cheap, after the discount it costs 25 points to redeem one.
The only gift that comes with the system is two pairs of asbestos gloves, which is a big deal.
Not to mention the disgraced original sin and the other four people, they quickly squatted in the trench with a not-so-bright flashlight in their hands, and began to replace the barrel of the heavy machine gun, which had obviously wrong ballistics during shooting.
In the following time, Hu Biao continued to make arrangements:
"Others should also seize the time, eat something first, and then quickly go to sleep in the anti-cannon cave on the reverse slope.
The order of the vigil is as follows: Xu Feng, Lao J, Xi Ling, me, Zhui Feng, and Swordsman, each choose two people to form a team at that time, and we will form a group of three and keep vigil in order for half an hour."
After saying that, he took out a bag that was no longer too full from a certain bomb-proof hole.
The thing in the bag was, of course, the one that everyone hated so much, the soldiers' canned Spam luncheon meat.
What's even more sad is that all the water they carried at this moment has been consumed to cool the barrels of those two M2 heavy machine guns.
For a time, the process of swallowing lunch meat after a battle was really not a pleasant experience.
After forcing himself to eat a can of lunch meat in the fortification on the reverse slope, Hu Biao's head leaned against the earthen wall behind him and he fell into a deep sleep.
Soon the grunts in his mouth merged with the grunts in the surrounding bomb-proof caves to form a symphony...
At the same time, the 190th Division headquarters was actually less than 5 kilometers away from the Bajialing Highlands.
General Fang, who arrived here overnight, after listening to the report from Commander Yu and others, looked at the map on the wall full of the current situations between the enemy and ourselves, and fell into deep thought.
To be honest! General Fang originally didn’t want to take on such a persistent mission.
You must know that because of some dirty things among the top officials of the Guo Army, the Japanese captured Star City, repaired it slightly, and then launched the Hengyang Association.
His original position as commander of the 10th Army was removed by Commander Xue and replaced by one of his close associates.
As a result, facing the current bad war situation, the confidant did not dare to take office. In the end, the task of such a battle returned to General Fang, who was already in Hengshan and waiting for the handover.
General Fang refused to accept it at the time, but Baldhead took action. In addition to Xiao Yi's carelessness, he also gave many guarantees.
For example: as long as you persist for ten days to two weeks, reinforcements will arrive on time, supplies and air support will be sufficient, etc.
In this way, in the face of national justice, General Fang had to bite the bullet.
However, it is not an easy task to persist for ten days to two weeks, not to mention the disparity in strength between the two sides of 1.7 to 11.
Regarding the very critical artillery shells, their artillery shells of various calibers combined only amounted to a mere 2,000 rounds.
It seems like a lot, but it really won't last long.
And when the entire city of Hengyang is now basically an isolated city surrounded by all sides, airlift and airdrop have become the only sources of resources.
However, troublesome airdrops are not as efficient as air transport.
Therefore, he did not want to give up control of the airport if there was even a chance. Therefore, at this time, he came to the 190th Division overnight, just to see if there was any possibility of recovery.
However, according to the report from the 190th Division at the scene, he knew that there was basically no room for a comeback.
After letting out a long sigh, he issued a very helpless order:
"Inform all participating troops of the 190th Division to prepare for evacuation immediately. At 5 o'clock in the morning tonight, all planes will take off and retreat to Zhijiang Aircraft.
At 5:15, all troops evacuated their positions and evacuated towards the city.
At 5:20, I will immediately detonate the explosives that have been buried in advance and blow up everything that can be destroyed in the airport. We will not be able to use this airport, and we cannot let it fall into the hands of the Japanese."
After saying that, Commander Fang began to walk out of the division headquarters, intending to return to the city with unspeakable regrets.
At this moment, I heard a burst of fighting and shouting coming from a position not far to the left.
Instinctively, General Fang turned his head away while drawing his gun; then he could see a small soldier rushing over like a bull despite being blocked by many soldiers from his guard company.
.
While rushing over, he was still shouting loudly: "I want to see General Fang, and someone asked me to bring him a message."
In such a process, such a young soldier turned out to be quite powerful in his skills. He actually knocked down three or four soldiers from the guard company who were trying to stop him.
Seeing this, several guards were ready to draw their guns and fire. Upon seeing this, General Xia quickly started to drink:
"What are you doing? Stop it."
After everyone stopped, he said to the little soldier: "Tell me, who is he, what is his name, and what words can I ask you to bring here?"
After standing at attention and saluting with "Brush~", the little warrior said:
"Report, I am Wang Fu, a soldier from the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the 569th Regiment. I am Hu Biao who is holding the position on the Bajialing Highlands. Chief Hu asked me to bring you a message.
He said that as long as you give him a company of reinforcements, he can guarantee to guard you until the early morning of the 29th.
Also, during this period of time, he asks you to seize the time to fly in more supplies. He said that this war will be more difficult than you expected."
"Hu Biao?" General Fang looked confused after hearing this.
Fortunately, the personnel on this side of the 190th Division knew a little more about the situation and immediately reported it in their ears.
In addition, Wang Fu, who had reacted, also began to introduce the incredible fighting power of a small group of more than 20 people.
After listening, General Fang suddenly had a different look in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, I already had some decisions in my mind.
He shouted loudly: "Okay, I believe this Hu Biao, Commander Hu once, I will immediately give him a reinforcement company from the 10th Preliminary Division."
Also, whoever comes will contact me immediately.
Tell them that if they want more than 10,000 brothers from the 10th Army to stay here in Hengyang City, then they will deliver the equipment promised to me.
After saying that, he said to Wang Fu with a kind face: "Wang Fu, I think your skills are pretty good, please stay with me and be a guard.
After two years of getting to know each other, you should be qualified enough to become a company commander and deputy company commander when the time comes."
"Thank you General for your cultivation, but Chief Hu saved my life. From now on, my life, Wang Fu's, will be his."
In the eyes of everyone around him who looked in disbelief, Wang Fu said something like this, which was a bit decisive and determined.
After hearing this sentence, General Fang valued Wang Fu more and more.
He also became more interested in such a Hu Biao, and immediately ordered: "Have someone go down and find out who this Hu Biao is..."
