The next morning, Liu Hua was woken up by the sound of explosions. Without thinking, Liu Hua knew that the enemy's shelling had begun. The whole class of soldiers hiding in the bombhole looked at their squad leader with admiration.
Because of his squad leader's request, he escaped this enemy bombardment.
This bombardment lasted for half an hour. Looking around, the hilltop where the Red Army was located seemed to have been plowed. The 24th Division of the Guangxi Army came well prepared this time, and with Chiang Kai-shek's generosity, it carried enough
There is no need to think about frugality when it comes to ammunition. Qin Lianfang, the commander of the 24th Division, put down the telescope in his hand and said to Xie Dingxin, the commander of the Independent Regiment of the Seventh Army beside him: "Brother Xie, the rest is up to you. Remember, if you encounter the Communist Army
If there is a powerful counterattack, we should retreat immediately. Before a head-on fight, our artillery has plenty of ammunition." The Independent Regiment of the Seventh Army was newly reorganized mainly from the exiled officers and soldiers of the 19th Route Army. He was afraid that Xie Dingxin was eager to make contributions.
He would suffer a big loss, so he repeatedly warned him. Commander Xie responded, "Yes, Master!" Because he had won the task of leading the battle with great difficulty, so naturally he couldn't screw it up, so he decided to go into battle in person and left in a hurry.
After the shelling stopped, Liu Hua and his comrades hurriedly got out of the artillery hole and ran along the traffic ditch towards the position. At this time, the Guangxi Army Independent Regiment was forming a team in front of the position, ready to launch an attack at any time. Liu Hua quickly let himself
Several of his soldiers took advantage of this time to strengthen the fortifications that had been bombarded by artillery.
Slowly, the Gui army formed a dense formation and began to rush towards the Red Army's position. The number of people was estimated to be a battalion. Liu Hua tightly held a brand new medium-sized formal rifle in his hand and glanced down.
Unfortunately, the distance is too far.
In this way, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, and soon rushed to the position of the 8th Red Company. When the enemy entered 50 meters, he finally heard the order "fight" from the company commander Wu Xin. Liu Hua gently
He pulled the trigger and killed a company commander who had been aiming for a long time. He quickly moved the target and hit another machine gunner. At this time, it was too late to fire the third gun. He heard a voice: "Throw the grenade!" and grabbed it.
There was a grenade next to him, he pulled the fuse, silently counted three times, and threw it towards the place with the most people. At this time, the enemy seemed to be very scared and quickly retreated. Company Commander Wu Xin quickly shouted: "Comrades,
Charge!" Before he could finish speaking, the first one rushed down. The soldiers also rushed down.
At this time, a sense of danger suddenly came to Liu Hua's heart. He quickly shouted: "Company Commander, no! You have been tricked, retreat quickly!" However, it was already too late. The dense mortar shells
He fell among the charging soldiers, abandoning corpses from time to time. The Eighth Red Company quickly retreated, but by this time more than a dozen comrades had been sacrificed, and company commander Wu Xin was also seriously injured.
Liu Hua hugged the injured company commander and said with tears: "Company commander, hold on, we will be treated soon, hold on." The company commander smiled, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said hard
Said: "I... I guess I... am about to die... I... I order... to now appoint... Comrade... Liu Hua... as the... Acting... Company Commander of the Eighth Red Company..." After saying this, he fell into a coma.
"Company commander, company commander... wake up quickly..." several cadres nearby shouted quickly.
Liu Hua gently handed the company commander to the health worker, thought calmly, and ordered: "As the acting company commander, I now order the platoon to take all the wounded and sacrificed comrades to the rear. After completing the mission, as The reserve team of the company, the second and third platoons, follow me into the position and prepare to meet the enemy." After saying that, he was the first to walk towards the position.
Then, under Liu Hua's organization, an arduous blocking battle began.
Watching the Eighth Red Company under the leadership of Liu Hua defeat the enemy's attacks again and again, while suffering very few casualties. Nearly 500 enemies have fallen in front of the position. This is more than one battalion. Well done! Well done, Eighth Company! In the regiment command post, regiment leader Shen Shuqing took a clear look in the telescope and couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted. If it weren't for the rumble of artillery, he wished he could have run to the Eighth Company position. A grenade and a row of bullets wiped out the enemy's entire company. It was a shame that Liu Hua could do it. If he didn't even dare to think about it, he would do it.
