Xiaoliu held the can in his hand, sniffed it, and said: "Platoon leader, please let us follow you. We will fight the little devils. You can lead us to fight the little devils. When Uncle Qian was dying, he asked me to
Uncle Lei and I must find you and find you so that we can survive and lead us to kill more little devils."
After a pause, he added: "The company commander asked us to go to the battlefield to die. There are more than 40 people in our platoon, and there are only two of us left."
Xia Yuan looked at the two of them with a headache, and said: "Next, I will go to Qiao's house, so you can follow me for now."
When Lao Lei heard this, he said excitedly: "Platoon leader, we will fight wherever you tell us to go."
Xia Yuan waved his hand, "Go and clean the battlefield. Besides, I haven't agreed to you joining our team yet. As for when to let you join, we will make a decision after the battle at Qiaojiazhai is over."
Even so, Xia Yuan's relenting made Lao Lei full of hope. At least he relented, and there is still a chance for all this.
The battlefield here was completely cleaned up, and only then did Deputy Company Commander Wan arrive belatedly with a platoon of reinforcements.
"I didn't expect that Brother Xia actually led his people to clean up the Japanese reinforcements. It opened my eyes." Deputy Company Commander Wan looked at the almost cleaned battlefield with a smile, waved his hand, and motioned to the brothers behind him to go.
Cleaning up the battlefield, "Brother Xia probably won't be able to use these weapons and equipment. How about giving me these weapons and equipment as a favor?"
Xia Yuan squinted his eyes, looked at Deputy Company Commander Wan in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said, "I can give it to you, but how are you going to repay this favor?"
"If you have any difficulties, just ask us." Deputy Company Commander Wan was delighted. With this batch of weapons and equipment, whether they were sold or given to their superiors, it was a great achievement.
Chang was naturally extremely happy.
Then he began to figure out how to repay this favor.
"I really have some difficulties."
"Oh? Brother Xia might as well talk about it."
"Does Deputy Company Commander Wan know about Qiao's residence?" Xia Yuan looked to the north and asked.
"As we know, Qiaojiazhai is the Japanese army's forward position on the west side. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Could it be that Brother Xia wants to take advantage of Qiaojiazhai?" Deputy Company Commander Wan pondered and said, "To tell you the truth, our counterattack mission tonight is
There are two, one is to clean up the Japanese troops on the forward position, and the other is to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops in Qiao's house."
After a pause, he sighed, "However, the 401st Regiment sent a battalion of troops one night, but they were not able to knock down Qiao's house. In our situation, we experienced a day of tug-of-war and suffered heavy casualties.
, it’s difficult to capture Qiao’s house.”
"Even if you are included, the chances of winning probably won't be too great."
"There are two people left in the fourth platoon." Xia Yuan pointed to Lao Lei and Xiao Liu who were cleaning the battlefield, and said: "The fourth platoon fought hard, but the Japanese offensive was even more fierce. They did not solve the grenade attack.
The only way is to withstand the bombardment of grenades and resist the Japanese attack."
"They failed, but they succeeded again. The Lin family home was finally back in our hands." Deputy Company Commander Wan said: "Brother Xia, you don't have to worry too much. When it gets completely dark, we will attack the Japanese army."
Launch a counterattack."
"Yeah." Xia Yuan nodded and asked again, "By the way, do you know what's going on with the other people who came with me?"
"Platoon Commander Qiu retreated with his people. I met him on the way here. Wasn't he with you?" Deputy Company Commander Wan asked very curiously.
"We are together, but the ideas are not on the same path." Xia Yuan pointed to his brain and said: "It doesn't matter if they leave. Since they are not on the same path, they can't go together."
"Platoon Leader Qiu's soldiers seem to be well-trained. If they can follow us, they may have a greater chance of capturing Qiao's house."
Deputy Company Commander Wan said.
"It will be bigger." Xia Yuan pursed his lips, "Is Company Commander Xu gone?"
"Company Commander Xu, I didn't see it." Deputy Company Commander Wan was still thinking about Platoon Commander Qiu and said, "Platoon Commander Qiu doesn't seem to be a member of the regular army."
Xia Yuan nodded and did not hide anything: "They are the guard platoon of the commander of the 401st Regiment."
"What!" When Deputy Company Commander Wan heard this, his jaw almost dropped and his eyes widened: "The guard platoon has been pulled up!?"
"So, they have retreated now." Xia Yuan shrugged: "Actually, I don't expect them to be of any help."
Deputy Company Commander Wan thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. This guard platoon was the elite among the elite. How could they be pulled to the front line to charge against the Japanese?
"Brother Xia, I will leave a squad behind to cooperate with you in defending the Lin Family Residence. I will take the people to bring all the equipment back first."
After cleaning up the battlefield, Deputy Company Commander Wan found Xia Yuan.
"Okay." Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Let's cooperate with your defense."
"Everything is fine, everything is fine."
Deputy Company Commander Wan said with a smile, waved his hand, and set off with No. 30 men and guns and ammunition on their backs.
After they left, Xia Yuan found the scholar and asked him about the grenade. The scholar took out a grenade from his arms and said, "I just took one, with eleven shells."
"That's enough. It's enough for us. When we have the opportunity to attack the Japanese artillery positions, we won't need this thing." Xia Yuan said with a smile.
"What is it for?" the scholar asked curiously.
"Use mortars, which have a large caliber and are powerful."
"Mortar..." The scholar had no idea about mortars. He looked at the grenade in his hand and thought that the mortar should be larger than the grenade.
But how big is it? The scholar scratched his head and didn't think of anything.
When it got dark, the Japanese army stopped attacking, and the initiative seemed to take turns. At night, the offensive initiative returned to the hands of the national army. They fought with the Japanese army for a whole day, taking over the 401st Regiment to defend the east.
The 18th Brigade on the side suffered heavy casualties. At night, the 18th Brigade was responsible for clearing the fortifications built in the newly occupied areas by the Japanese.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The counterattack on Qiaojiazhai is only a small battle in the entire Luodian Battle, insignificant, even only the size of a sesame seed, a small corner, looking at the entire Luodian Battle,
The national army has deployed three brigades, and there are also four regiments reinforced by various armies.
The Japanese troops in Luodian included the 22nd Regiment and the 44th Regiment, with about seven to eight thousand people. They firmly controlled Luodian. The Chinese army launched several attacks on the Japanese troops in Luodian, all of which
Unable to capture Luodian.
On the road from Luodian center to the suburbs, the bones of thousands of national army soldiers were buried. The rain, mixed with blood, flowed to the low-lying areas.
At night, a new round of fighting began again.
Next to a broken corpse on the roadside, there was a puddle the size of a palm. He stepped on the puddle with one foot, and the water splashed and deformed the puddle.
"Quick, quick! Move faster!"
A low voice scolded the soldiers on their way, and under the cover of darkness, they quickly rushed towards Qiaojia Town.
They stopped in front of a group of houses.
"Class 1, enter the houses on the left. Class 2, enter the houses on the front. Class 3, enter the houses on the right. Don't shoot, don't reveal your position. If you encounter Japanese troops, avoid them as much as possible."
"yes!"
Dozens of black shadows dispersed and entered the houses.
"Platoon leader, where are we going?" The scholar asked, holding a gun.
"Let's follow the first group and break through from the left." Xia Yuan glanced at the watch on his wrist. This watch was taken off a Japanese soldier. The accuracy of the time is pretty good. It shows that it is now ten forty.
Three points.
In order to clean up the Japanese troops on the forward positions, Captain Chen of the reinforcement company called for reinforcements from one company after another. They fought for three hours before regaining the lost positions. In order to regain these positions, the two companies paid heavy casualties, but the superiors'
The order was to capture Qiaojia Town, so they kept going to Qiaojia Town.
The main force is the reinforcement company, and the second echelon is the third company, which is the reinforcement company called by the reinforcement company.
The two companies attacked Qiaojia Town. Regardless of whether they could win or not, they must eliminate the Japanese army as much as possible. This was the order issued by Shangfeng. The 18th Brigade had just taken over the defense area of the 401st Regiment during the day when it encountered a Japanese counterattack.
There were heavy casualties across the line. That night, the brigade commander of the 18th Brigade ordered a beautiful turnaround.
Qiaojiazhai is one of the mission centers of the attack.
As for the reinforcements from the 401st Regiment, they were completely ignored. After all, the reinforcements from the 401st Regiment were nothing more than a gambling agreement. After Platoon Commander Qiu returned, he announced the cancellation of the gambling agreement, while Xia Yuan stayed.
It's all for those soldiers who died.
It has nothing to do with positions in the central military.
The superiors did not pay attention to it, but Company Commander Chen and Deputy Company Commander Wan were still very concerned about this matter. After all, Xia Yuan's combat ability was concretely reflected in Lin's house, so on the battlefield, Company Commander Chen also gave Xia Yuan enough face.
He will not participate in the offensive missions of each squadron, but will move freely. He is even given the right to issue temporary orders when encountering attacking soldiers on the battlefield.
Company Commander Chen is not an incompetent person. At least in the face of the overall situation, any prejudice needs to be put aside. Everything is based on the overall situation.
The attack time is set at eleven o'clock, and at a quarter past eleven, the attack will be launched on the Japanese defense line.
The Japanese army, which had long figured out the way the Chinese army would attack at night, began to reinforce the firepower points and fortifications on the defense line when the Chinese army had the momentum to counterattack. The Japanese army understood that the Chinese army did not have the heavy firepower to attack the firepower points, and wanted to attack them.
When a firepower point comes down, a large number of people are needed to fill it. In response to the offensive characteristics of the Chinese army, the Japanese army arranged many soldiers around the firepower point, with the firepower fortifications as the center, to prevent the Chinese army from attacking.
In addition, the Japanese army also set up firepower points at various street intersections in Luodian Town, used ladders to climb to the roofs of houses, ambush soldiers, and strictly controlled the traffic on each street.
As a result, the already solid Japanese position became almost impenetrable.
Street fighting once became a nightmare for the national army when they recaptured Luodian Town.
When the counterattack bugle sounded that night, tens of thousands of National Army soldiers, carrying outdated weapons and equipment, rushed towards the Japanese defense line. The Japanese mortars hardly needed to be aimed, and the rumbling sounds continued, and the two sides were fighting.
The houses in the district were torn to pieces. Amidst the roar of artillery fire, the click of machine guns and the snap of rifles intertwined. The firelight of the crossfire illuminated half of the sky, flickering in the night, dazzling and beautiful, but carrying fatal danger.
The 18th Brigade attacked the eastern front, and the frontline combat units of the 33rd Brigade and the 31st Brigade had been replaced and launched an attack on the Japanese defense line, but the progress was still slow.
The national army's information about the Japanese troops in Luopeni was too one-sided, and they did not have a detailed grasp of the distribution of Japanese troops in Luopeni. The communication methods were backward, coupled with the uncoordinated cooperation between the various units, the Japanese troops in Luopeni were like people in the dark.
The sea is boundless darkness as far as the eye can see. The situation detected during the day is limited. At night, if the national army's offensive troops want to penetrate, they just have to step back. They don't know how deep the water is.
The troops were fighting and groping at the same time.
The offensive tactics were backward. Due to the unclear situation on the battlefield, the national army did not even dare to send troops to make a roundabout route. They attacked completely from the front, with neither reconnaissance nor the ability to fight in roundabouts. The national army's offensive method was to end the attack.
In the camp, they fought in vain, and the attack at night was like a long snake formation. Each unit looked for its own direction to attack, which wasted the lives of many soldiers of the national army.
In the attack that night, in addition to the 18th, 33rd and 31st brigades, there were also the 584th and 587th regiments of the 98th Division to the east, attacking the Japanese defense line from the east and
Successfully launched an attack on the Panzhai front line of the Japanese 44th Regiment. The attack failed overnight. The Japanese 44th Regiment had considerable combat effectiveness and defended the frontline area near Panzhai and Luodian Chang Street.
On the west side of Luodian, the 83rd and 79th regiments of the 14th Division arrived at the Caowang Temple line to fill the gap left by the retreat of the 401st, 397th and 398th regiments, and on the same day
In the evening, they launched an attack on the Japanese 22nd Regiment holding the west side.
The 83rd Regiment advanced all the way to the vicinity of the Shiban River, trying to forcibly cross the river and launch an attack on the 22nd Regiment. However, they encountered fierce firepower from the Japanese army. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties. There were a large number of corpses floating on the river. In just one night,
The Shiban River was dyed red.
The Japanese army even dispatched mobile troops to launch a counterattack from the flanks of the 83rd Regiment. Due to a hasty attack and lack of preparation, the 83rd Regiment suffered heavy losses, abandoned a large number of soldier corpses and equipment, and retreated to the Dingjiaqiao line.
The 79th Regiment bypassed the Japanese defenses, penetrated to the rear of the Japanese army, and advanced all the way. However, it encountered a Japanese reconnaissance team and trapped it in a private house. Later, the Japanese machine gun team came to support it.
They were also surrounded by the national army. The battle continued until one o'clock, and the two Japanese troops were wiped out.
However, a Japanese soldier ran out under the cover of night and contacted nearby friendly forces. After receiving the news, the Japanese army began to mobilize troops to block the attack of the 79th Regiment.
