Chapter 67: Capturing Qu Tongfeng Again (One Supplement)
Qu Tongfeng's attack on the pass was not going smoothly, and Han Baihang's attack on the First Division was also blocked. Although the First Division was not very effective, it was a well-trained unit. Its tactical level was inherited from the Japanese Army. The soil work was completed quickly and efficiently.
Well, if Han Baihang was not careful, they built a semi-circular fortification on the top of the mountain. Once the light and heavy machine guns were fired at the firepower point, it suddenly became a difficult nut to crack.
After several consecutive strong attacks to no avail, with more than a hundred casualties, Han Baihang felt a little hurt and decided to stop the attack. He carefully looked at the ring fortifications on the top of the mountain with a telescope. He couldn't help but feel worried. With the troops in his hands,
There was little certainty of victory in a forceful attack. He had wanted to persuade Qu Tongfeng to surrender just now, but it seemed that he was naive at the moment. The first division was still fighting in a corner and had no intention of giving up the breakout. Now he can only hope that the blocking troops of the 15th division can withstand it.
He'll have to think of a solution here.
"Company commander, we have contacted the brothers of the 15th Division."
Zhou Qing ran over in a hurry and shouted from afar that Han Baihang had just arranged for him to take a small road to contact the troops of the 15th Division who were blocking the front, and he came back after walking for half an hour.
"What's going on over there!" Han Baihang asked urgently.
Zhou Qing bent over and gasped: "Over there is the 3rd Battalion of the 59th Regiment of the 30th Brigade of the 15th Division. Their troops guarded a road pass and thwarted many attacks by the Anhui Army, killing and wounding many enemy troops."
Han Baihang asked again: "Have you asked, how long can you hold on?"
Zhou Qingdao: "The loss of troops is not big, but the machine gun ammunition has been exhausted. The Anhui army can attack three more times at most, and the pass will not be able to be defended."
Han Baihang was thinking about the time needed to organize three attacks. The time left for him was probably less than an hour. If he could not attack the Anhui army from the rear during this time, Qu Tongfeng would have run away.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhou Qing suggested: "Company Commander, the main force of the 15th Division is about to arrive, why don't we two attack together."
Han Baihang chuckled and said, "I can't wait any longer. I'm determined to eat alone. Yue Chen'an is worthy enough to follow me and drink soup. I will give orders to the entire army and organize a death squad. I will personally lead the charge."
Zhou Qing was taken aback and said hurriedly: "Company commander, just watch from behind, I'll just lead the team up."
Han Baihang smiled and said: "You really think of me as a high-ranking official. I can't go to the battlefield. This is a tough battle. You are my vanguard. Of course you have to go. I am no exception. Whether we can win or not depends on this."
It’s a one-and-done deal.”
Zhou Qing nodded fiercely: "Company Commander, I will personally select the death squads."
"good!"
Han Baihang watched him go, then raised his binoculars to look at the hilltop position of the First Division, thinking hard about tactics to defeat the enemy.
After a while, Zhou Qing led a death squad of 100 people to Han Baihang. These death squads were all strong men, including soldiers from the third division and soldiers from the first division. Han Baihang stepped forward and stood still.
He took off his hat and threw it on the ground. He reached out to untie his clothes and bare his arms. He waved to Zhou Qingyi: "Bring me the knife!"
Zhou Qing sent a sharp sword, and Han Baihang grabbed it, glanced at each team member with piercing eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, have you seen the mountain in front of you? Do you dare to follow me to take it down?"
"dare!"
The death squad of one hundred people shouted in response.
Han Baihang pursed his lips and said with great emotion: "I, Han Baihang, have nothing to repay my brothers, so let me kowtow to them." As he said that, he knelt down on the ground and knelt down to the death squad members.
Kowtowed three times.
When the suicide squad members saw this scene, the blood in their chests surged to the top of their heads. Everyone's breathing became rapid. Zhou Qing screamed with red eyes: "Kowtow to us, company commander. If we don't take the top of the mountain, will we still be human?"
The death squad member clenched the sword and gun in his hand and shouted: "No!"
Seeing this, Han Baihang picked up a big knife and ordered to the left and right: "Machine gun cover, brothers, charge with me!"
"kill!"
There was a killing cry from the ground, and Han Baihang took the lead, running towards the top of the mountain with flying strides. Behind him were the death squads who were screaming and charging upward like crazy.
…
"Commander-in-Chief, the enemy is attacking again."
An officer pointed at the death squads rushing down the mountain and exclaimed. Qu Tongfeng hurriedly looked up and saw a gray current from the bottom of the mountain rushing up to the position at the top of the mountain. The momentum looked very overwhelming, but the number was not large.
, there were only more than a hundred people, but he didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, the ring fortifications on the top of the mountain were well-built. If the enemy wanted to capture it, they would not leave hundreds of corpses behind, and they couldn't even touch the edge of the position. He couldn't help but harbor malicious intentions.
I thought that I had hit a nail in the pass ahead, so how could I return the favor and give the enemy a taste of what it was like to run into an iron wall?
"Don't panic, our position is as solid as a golden tower." Qu Tongfeng was full of confidence and encouraged the generals, but before he could finish his words, an earth-shattering killing cry suddenly rang out from the hilltop behind him, and then he heard a
The general cried out: "No, the enemy is coming!"
Qu Tongfeng was shocked and quickly looked around. He saw the enemy army rushing up the hill and fighting with the defenders. He jumped to his feet in a hurry: "Quickly exterminate this enemy army."
The men and horses of the first division listened to the order and rushed up the mountain in a hurry.
On the top of the mountain, the death squads were fighting with the defenders. Both sides were fighting desperately. Hundreds of people were fighting together. One after another, some people fell down and rolled down the top of the slope.
Han Baihang rushed to the front with his sword, slashing left and right as he moved, as if he was in a deserted land. Behind him were the death squads with fanatical morale. Those three blows before setting off were not in vain. The soldiers were really brave.
Without his instigation, he pounced on the First Division with red eyes. Without the support of the ring fortifications, the men and horses of the First Division could not withstand the desperate attack of the death squads. After a while, the death squads seized one-fifth of the hilltop.
's position.
With this one-fifth of the position, the death squads gradually gained a firm foothold on the top of the mountain. With a signal flare, the large troops at the foot of the mountain rushed up with shouts. At this time, the men and horses of the first division also rushed up, and there were more than a thousand people on both sides.
A melee broke out on the top of the hill. There was no structure to the hand-to-hand combat. Bayonets, machetes, gun butts, and even fists, feet, and teeth were all used. The smoke and dust from so many people's steps immediately covered the top of the hill. Qu Tongfeng, who was watching the battle from a distance,
I couldn't see the battle clearly, I could only hear the killing cries getting louder and louder, and I didn't know whether my side had the advantage or the enemy.
Han Baihang launched an attack from the rear, and the troops of the 15th Division on the pass were not idle. Although they did not have many troops, they also sent a company of troops to feint to attack the 1st Division's position, involving a large part of the 1st Division's troops.
.
Hand-to-hand combat is more often a tug-of-war, just like the elimination system in a sports field, fighting against each other, the weak will fall, and the strong will survive. The harder they fight to the end, the stronger ones will be left standing.
