Returning to Cross Ridge, Zhang Dabiao reported the harvest to Li Yunlong before taking the soldiers of the first battalion to rest.
Among the independent regiments, the first battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment, but the casualty rate of the first battalion is also the highest among the independent regiments. The soldiers of the second and third battalions of the independent regiment know this very well.
I have no objection to the treatment enjoyed by the First Battalion, but the soldiers of these two battalions all want to enter the First Battalion. The soldiers want to enter the First Battalion. To become a member of the First Battalion, they do not want to enter the First Battalion and enjoy
, but wanted to bravely kill the enemy in one battalion.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment know very well that no one will enjoy any special treatment after entering the first battalion. Everyone is here to kill the Japanese, and for this, everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives.
After Zhang Dabiao took care of the affairs of the first battalion and asked the soldiers to take time to rest, he walked towards Liu Gen's location. Zhang Dabiao and Liu Gen had a very good relationship. After learning that Liu Gen's injury was serious,
After that, he wanted to see Liu Gen's specific situation directly. However, because the battle with the Japanese on the front line had not stopped, it was not until the Japanese retreated and there was no combat mission for the time being that Zhang Dabiao had time to come and visit Liu Gen.
Along the way, Zhang Dabiao's face was a little solemn. He could imagine how cruel the battle was when Liu Gen and others were defending at Cross Ridge. Even Zhang Dabiao did not have the confidence to survive such a cruel battle. Even if
Zhang Dabiao knew that Liu Gen was very capable, but he was still worried that Liu Gen's life would be in danger. What's more, the medical conditions on Cross Ridge were somewhat poor and could not be compared with the hospitals at the division or headquarters.
On Cross Ridge, anything can happen. Unless Liu Gen can be cured directly, Zhang Dabiao's worry will never stop.
When Zhang Dabiao saw Liu Gen, the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious. Liu Gen was really in a bad state. Zhang Dabiao could see that Liu Gen had a lot of bandages on his body. With so many bandages, he immediately understood
It can also be seen how much Liu Gen was injured.
"Genzi? Genzi?" Zhang Dabiao came to Liu Gen's side and shouted.
Liu Gen opened his eyes drowsily, and saw Zhang Dabiao at the first sight, which made him look happy, "Brother Zhang, why are you here?"
"Huh? Is the battle on the frontline over? There is no sound of gunfire. The Japanese must have retreated."
As soon as he woke up and noticed that he couldn't hear any gunfire, Liu Gen realized that the Japanese should have retreated, otherwise the Japanese would definitely continue to attack, and there would be no way that he could not hear any gunfire. Liu Gen looked towards the person in front of him.
Looking at Zhang Dabiao, he could see the look of exhaustion on Zhang Dabiao's face that could not be concealed. In addition, there was still fresh blood on his clothes, which told him that Zhang Dabiao had just experienced a battle not long ago.
"Genzi, your kid is injured, just take good care of yourself and don't care about the frontline battle."
"With the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment, how can you still be worried? Don't worry, with our independent regiment and the regiment commander here, the devil's tricks will be useless. In this battle, the soldiers of the artillery company of our independent regiment
They achieved great success, they successfully killed the Japanese artillery, and then even killed many important firepower points."
"If the Japs hadn't escaped, then we would definitely have killed a lot of Japs to avenge those sacrificed soldiers!" Zhang Dabiao said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Zhang Dabiao's eyes flashed with cold murderous intent. After knowing the news that Liu Gen and others suffered heavy casualties, he wanted to kill all these Japs to avenge Liu Gen and others! Fortunately, Liu Gen was only seriously injured and not injured.
A heroic sacrifice, otherwise Zhang Dabiao would definitely not let those Japanese go away easily, and he would definitely kill more Japanese.
"I still have great faith in the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment. Brother Zhang, I think you just finished the battle, so you should take a good rest."
"I think the Japs are very likely to come again. If we make such a big move on Cross Ridge, the Japs will definitely be able to guess something. Don't underestimate these Japs. Next time the Japs come, it won't be that simple."
Liu Genqiang braced himself and spoke seriously.
Even if Zhang Dabiao didn't let him pay attention to the battle on the front line, how could Liu Gen not pay attention? How could he not care after persisting on Cross Ridge for so long and sacrificing so many comrades? Now the Independent Regiment has replaced Liu Gen.
Waiting for others to defend, even if the independent group's combat effectiveness is strong enough, Liu Gen still can't completely rest assured.
Until now, the Japs have not fully unleashed their due fighting power. If the Japs really launch an attack on Cross Ridge with all their strength, it will undoubtedly be impossible for the independent regiment to successfully defend Cross Ridge.
Zhang Dabiao fell silent. He could see the seriousness on Liu Gen's face and the seriousness in his tone. He also knew that Liu Gen was right. With the strength of the Japanese troops in Shanxi, even the independent regiment successfully killed the Japanese infantry.
The brigade will not have much impact on the Japanese garrison in Shanxi. A Japanese infantry brigade is nothing, not to mention that the independent regiment has not successfully killed this Japanese infantry brigade.
Even if this Japanese infantry brigade was severely damaged by the independent regiment, it is somewhat reluctant, let alone annihilating the entire Japanese infantry brigade.
"Genzi, don't worry. I understand. I have never underestimated these little devils at all." Zhang Dabiao said seriously. Zhang Dabiao knew some things very well even without Liu Gen's reminder, but he still
I also knew that Liu Gen's reminder was necessary. He killed many Japanese soldiers and made them choose to escape instead of staying to fight the independent group.
Achieving such a record, even if Zhang Dabiao has rich combat experience, he will be a little excited. Now that he received Liu Gen's instructions, Zhang Dabiao suddenly calmed down a lot. He realized that there were still many things he needed to do, among which the most important
The best thing is to take a good rest first to ensure that you are in good enough condition to face the next battle.
"Genzi, I'll go back and rest first to prepare for the next battle with the Japanese." Zhang Dabiao said to Liu Gen.
Liu Gen nodded, naturally he had no objection to this. After Zhang Dabiao left, Liu Gen closed his eyes again with some exhaustion and fell asleep quickly. After talking so much with Zhang Dabiao, Liu Gen felt that
He was very tired, and his body was too weak to support him in continuing to talk to Zhang Dabiao.
Five or six hours after Liu Gen slept, he woke up. After feeling that his condition had recovered somewhat, he tried to move his body, but he could still feel obvious pain. He tried to move, but found that he was a little unable to
After enduring it, Liu Gen chose to give up. However, after moving for a few times and calming down, Liu Gen felt a lot more relaxed.
Looking around, it was already night. Looking towards the two monks not far away, Liu Gen had obvious worry in his eyes. He could see that the two monks were still unconscious and did not know the specific situation.
What happened? After carefully observing the two monks, Liu Gen relaxed a little. He could see that there were no fatal injuries on the two monks' bodies, and presumably their lives were not in danger.
Just considering the current medical conditions, Liu Gen is still a little worried, wondering whether there will be problems with the treatment of the two monks.
Ten minutes later, Liu Gen felt tired again and fell asleep again. His body's self-protection made him very sleepy.
In the early morning, Liu Gen was awakened by the sound of gunfire. As soon as he opened his eyes, he could see doctors and medical soldiers walking around in a hurry. Seriously injured soldiers were constantly being brought in. They had to treat the soldiers as quickly as possible.
Treatment. As for soldiers with minor injuries, they were unable to receive corresponding treatment. They could only simply bandage their wounds with bandages before returning to the battle.
The battle went as Liu Gen said. The Japanese regrouped, mobilized their troops again, and launched an attack on the Cross Ridge area. This time the Japanese were very well prepared, especially after knowing clearly that the independent regiment had artillery. Every time they used it,
The artillery fire would be outside the range of the artillery company, which made the soldiers of the artillery company very depressed.
In addition, the Japanese artillery brought mountain artillery, which restricted the performance of the artillery company. The Japanese artillery could continuously launch artillery bombardments outside the range of the artillery company, but the artillery company could not do so. During the battle, the Japanese mountain artillery never fired.
, the Japanese intention is very obvious, the mountain artillery is prepared for the artillery of the independent regiment.
In this regard, the soldiers of the independent regiment's artillery company had no choice. The range of the Japanese mountain cannon was too far, and the artillery in their hands could not pose a threat to the Japanese mountain cannon. It can be said that after the Japanese mountain cannons were brought out, the artillery company could no longer
There is no room for performance unless the artillery company wants to be killed by the Japanese.
Without the artillery support of the artillery company, the Japanese firepower directly suppressed the independent regiment's firepower. The Japanese were well prepared. Even if they successfully suppressed the independent regiment's firepower, they did not directly launch a charge. Instead, they continued to attack.
Shooting against the Independent Regiment. Seeing this, the soldiers easily judged that these Japs wanted to consume the Independent Regiment's ammunition, but even if the soldiers understood this, there was nothing they could do.
The Japs keep shooting, and the Independent Regiment will always fight back. It is impossible to allow the Japs to gain fire suppression. Once the Japs successfully achieve complete fire suppression and beat the Independent Regiment soldiers to the point where they cannot hold their heads up, then the Independent Regiment will
It would be extremely difficult to resist the enemy's attack, and the enemy would be much more relaxed when attacking.
In the temporary command post on the front line of the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked a little ugly. They could see that with the continuous exchange of fire with the Japanese, the casualties of the soldiers were increasing. In a short period of time, there were
Dozens of soldiers were killed or injured, which made Li Yunlong unable to bear such losses, and the battle could not be fought like this.
"Stop! Stop everyone! Stop shooting!"
"The war can't be fought like this! Damn it! We can't continue to fight with the Japanese. There will be no problem if the Japanese fight. If our independent regiment continues to fight, the entire independent regiment will be wiped out!" Li Yunlong walked out of the temporary command post and shouted loudly.
.
Li Yunlong has not thought about how to deal with such an attack by the Japs, but he knows that he cannot continue like this. Even if the Japs succeed in suppressing firepower, the independent regiment will still be able to fight. If the Japs continue to shoot like this,
Then only the Japs will be happy. The Japs have better marksmanship than the soldiers and have more ammunition than the soldiers. How to fight in a duel?
With Li Yunlong's order, the soldiers stopped shooting one after another. Many soldiers looked at Li Yunlong, the regiment leader, wanting to know if Li Yunlong had any good ideas. In the hearts of the soldiers, Li Yunlong, the regiment leader, was quite
Being capable and good at fighting, they believed that Li Yunlong would definitely have a way to deal with the Japanese.
"Old Li, calm down! Calm down! Calm down!" Zhao Gang saw something was wrong with Li Yunlong's mood and quickly stepped forward to comfort him.
Li Yunlong shook his head, and after indicating to Zhao Gang that he had no problem, he said: "Old Zhao, you have also seen this battle, we can't continue to fight! The Independent Regiment only has this little wealth, if it continues to fight, there will be nothing we can do if it is exhausted.
These devils!"
"Lao Li, I understand what you mean. Let's not be anxious first and slowly find a way to deal with it. What's the use of being anxious?" Zhao Gang said helplessly.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened, like an angry bull, and he said loudly: "Don't be in a hurry? How can you not be in a hurry? Damn it! These Japs are about to rush in front of you, why aren't you in a hurry?"
"No! Our independent regiment cannot fight such a frustrating battle, Zhang Dabiao! Zhang Dabiao! Zhang Dabiao!"
Seeing how impatient Li Yunlong was, Zhao Gang became more and more helpless. He realized that even if he and Li Yunlong continued to talk, there would be no change in Li Yunlong. Now, the only ones who can capture Li Yunlong are the brigade commander and the division commander. It's a pity.
, they are not here now, and it is impossible to contact them easily.
"Zhang Dabiao! Where the hell did you die?" Li Yunlong shouted again.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao ran over quickly, his face covered with dust. The moment the battle started, he woke up from his deep sleep, rushed to the position as quickly as possible, and participated in the battle.
"Captain! First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao reports!" Zhang Dabiao saluted directly when he came to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong stared at Zhang Dabiao in front of him and cursed angrily: "Where the hell have you gone? Gather your battalion with me right now! Damn it! I want to tell the Japanese how to fight the war!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up and he shouted immediately.
Before Zhao Gang could speak, Zhang Dabiao went directly to summon the soldiers of the first battalion. He believed that Li Yunlong must have an important combat mission to give to their first battalion.
"Old Li, what do you want the first battalion to do? Old Li, you can't be impulsive. You have to be responsible for the lives of the soldiers of the first battalion." Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and realized that something was wrong. Li Yunlong wouldn't do it without making big moves.
A battalion can be easily mobilized.
But now, Li Yunlong has chosen to use the First Battalion. What does he want to do?
