Chapter four hundred and eighty-ninth frightened bird
"Doctor, is there any news from the front? Have we won?" Liu Gen asked the doctor beside him.
The doctor shook his head. He had not received any news. Besides, wounded people were constantly being brought in, and he did not have much energy to pay attention to the battle situation on the front line. Even if the independent regiment on the front line was defeated and unable to withstand the Japanese attack, the doctor would not be able to withstand the Japanese attack.
He gave up treating the wounded, knowing that these wounded needed him. The wounded with lighter injuries were fine, but the treatment of the wounded with more severe injuries could not be delayed for even half a minute, otherwise it would easily lead to death.
"Company Commander Liu, don't worry. With Commander Li here, the battle will not be lost so easily." After the doctor comforted Liu Gen, he once again concentrated on treating the wounded.
Seeing that the doctor was treating other wounded people, Liu Gen did not choose to continue to disturb him. He did not want to affect the treatment of the wounded because of himself.
Looking towards the two monks not far away, Liu Gen could see that the monks had their eyes closed and their faces were obviously pale. Their injuries had not improved yet and their condition was not good. Liu Gen tried to move.
He could still feel the obvious pain coming from the wound on his body. He didn't care about the pain, it was still within the range that he could bear. By the time Liu Gen started doing it, the wound on his body would tear open,
There were traces of blood on the clothes.
"Liu Company Commander, why are you up? Judging from your injury, you need to recover well. Besides, your wound hasn't healed yet." The doctor saw Liu Gen sitting up and said quickly.
Liu Gen shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, I'm very aware of my situation and it's still within the range I can bear. There won't be any problems."
Under the doctor's gaze, Liu Gen stood up slowly. He could see that it was very difficult for Liu Gen to stand up, and his body was trembling slightly. But even so, Liu Gen still managed to stand up, and in order to stand up, he
It took nearly two minutes. The doctor watched all this without saying anything to stop him. He knew that he could not stop Liu Gen at all, and it was even less likely that Liu Gen would obey his orders and choose to give up.
Without asking Liu Gen, the doctor can guess what Liu Gen is thinking. As a soldier, Liu Gen is not willing to lie here and wait for the outcome of the battle. For Liu Gen, as long as he is still alive, as long as he still takes action
ability, then he will definitely participate in the battle.
"I'll excuse you here. I'll go to the front line and take a look." Liu Gen's voice was a little weak. Before the doctor could answer, he directly chose to leave.
Seeing this, the doctor could only hope that Liu Gen's health would not have too many problems, and that the soldiers on the front line could successfully win, so that Liu Gen would not encounter any danger on the front line. Otherwise, Liu Gen's physical condition
, if he met the Japanese, he would definitely not be their opponent.
Many wounded soldiers looked at Liu Gen's leaving figure and wanted to get up and return to the front line like Liu Gen. However, they could feel severe pain when they tried to move, and soon they found that they could not do it.
Like Liu Gen, the wounded were a little confused as to why Liu Gen, who was obviously and seriously injured, could get up on his own, but they were unable to do this.
Thinking of the severe pain that came from the wound when they got up, the wounded had more admiration for Liu Gen. They admired Liu Gen for being able to endure such severe pain calmly. Compared with Liu Gen, they were far behind.
At this time, Liu Gen was walking slowly towards the independent regiment's defensive position on Cross Ridge. He held a pistol tightly in his hand and was ready to fight at any time. Liu Gen was constantly observing his surroundings, but his physical condition
He was really too weak, making it difficult for him to observe the movements around him.
Continuously walking towards the direction of the Independence Regiment’s defensive position, Liu Gen’s speed was not very fast, and with his body, he could not walk too fast. Liu Gen could only hope that when he arrived, the battle between the Independence Regiment and the Japanese had not yet begun.
End, so that he can also contribute. Of course, if possible, Liu Gen also hopes that the Independent Group will successfully win the battle against the Japanese, and he will not mind that he does not have a chance to take action.
It's just that Liu Gen doesn't think this kind of thing will happen. It's not that he has no confidence in the Independent Regiment, but that he is very aware of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese. He knows that even if the soldiers of the Independent Regiment perform very well in defense, they want to successfully resist the Japanese troops.
The attack will also be very difficult.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Gen successfully arrived at the defensive position of the Independent Regiment. He could see that the battle on the position had ended. Except for some soldiers cleaning the battlefield, other soldiers were taking the time to rest. This made Liu Gen realize
The soldiers repelled another Japanese attack. Looking towards the position, he could see a lot of craters on the position. These were caused by the Japanese shells falling on the position.
At the same time, Liu Gen could also see the corpses of many Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. It seemed that the Japanese soldiers successfully rushed into the independent regiment's defensive position and were successfully repelled by the soldiers.
Knowing that the Independent Regiment had once again repelled the Japanese attack, Liu Gen breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the troops of the 129th Division were returning to Liao County, but it would take time to return. The Independent Regiment needed to hold on for at least one more day on the Cross Ridge.
Wait until the supporting troops arrive. This means that in the process of defending the position, the independent regiment needs to withstand the constant attacks of the Japanese, and also needs to ensure that it does not suffer too many casualties, which will affect the subsequent defense.
Such defensive tasks are placed among the various units of the Eighth Route Army. There are not many units that can accomplish this. Even the independent regiment will have some difficulties when carrying out such defensive tasks. After all, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, the independent regiment is
Wild Wolf Regiment, where have you ever heard that Wild Wolves will defend? The Wild Wolves are either attacking or on the way to launch an attack, and the same is true for the Independent Regiment.
Arriving at the position, Liu Gen could see the soldiers lying on the ground casually. They were tired and had no energy to find a suitable place to sleep. As long as they could lie down, they could sleep anywhere.
Liu Gen did not speak to disturb the resting soldiers. He kept walking along the position, trying to find Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. He wanted to know the specific situation of the independent regiment and whether it could continue to hold on at Cross Ridge.
The Japanese troops were repulsed this time, and it would take some time to launch another attack. Liu Gen wanted to get enough information from Li Yunlong and others to confirm whether the independent regiment would have the ability to continue to defend.
Soon, Liu Gen discovered Zhao Gang's figure. He could see Zhao Gang busy cleaning the battlefield. From time to time, he would carefully observe the direction of the Japanese troops to prevent Japanese soldiers from sneaking up.
"Political Commissar Zhao, can the Independent Regiment still hold on?" Liu Gen came to Zhao Gang and asked suddenly.
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment. He didn't notice Liu Gen's arrival. When he raised his head and saw it was Liu Gen, a trace of joy appeared on his face. The depressed mood due to casualties during the battle also became a little excited. You can see
Zhao Gang was a little happy when Liu Gen appeared in front of him, which meant that Liu Gen was still alive. When they visited Liu Gen before, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong only saw Liu Gen in a coma and failed to talk to Liu Gen.
Now that he could see Liu Gen standing in front of him alive, Zhao Gang was naturally very happy. He really didn't want any problems to occur to Liu Gen.
"When did our independent regiment say no? Don't worry, these Japs don't have many attack methods. In addition, the last all-out attack launched by the Japs was successfully repelled by our independent regiment. The Japs will definitely not launch attacks easily again. I just don't know.
Will these Japanese soldiers call for more troops to support us? If so, our next defense will be somewhat difficult."
"But don't worry, Genzi. Even if all our independent regiments are sacrificed here, we will not take a step back. We will definitely resist the Japanese troops and delay the arrival of more troops." Zhao Gang said with a firm expression.
Perhaps due to the baptism of war, Zhao Gang lost some of his bookishness and became more iron-blooded, and his personality also changed a lot.
Liu Gen looked at Zhao Gang in front of him, and he knew that Zhao Gang would be in such difficulty. No matter it was Li Yunlong or Zhao Gang, they would not choose to leave easily, even if they knew that staying on Cross Ridge would be in danger. Liu Gen was
Some people who admire Zhao Gang know Zhao Gang's situation and naturally understand that Zhao Gang had many choices, but he finally chose to join the Eighth Route Army and chose to fight against Japan and the Japanese.
"Political Commissar Zhao, don't you know where I can help?" Liu Gen asked again.
Zhao Gang laughed, and he shook his head and refused, "Genzi, your injury is far from healed, you'd better recuperate. There are still many opportunities to kill the Japanese, don't worry, your task is to recuperate for the next battle.
, just me and Lao Li."
"I know very well that there is nothing wrong with my body." Liu Gen shook his head and said.
No matter what Liu Gen said, Zhao Gang had no idea of relenting. He would not let Liu Gen help anyway. With Liu Gen's physical condition, if Liu Gen was asked to help, even if Li Yunlong didn't say anything, he would be very embarrassed.
Ashamed. It’s not like there are no other people in the independent regiment, so where is the wounded Liu Gen needed to do this? Seeing that Liu Gen didn’t want to go back, Zhao Gang directly ordered the soldiers to forcefully send Liu Gen back to recuperate. The battle was not over yet.
It is too dangerous for Liu Gen to continue to stay on the front line.
Afterwards, the Japanese launched several attacks on Cross Ridge. The frequency of the Japanese attacks was very fast, which made the defending independent regiment soldiers very hard. By night, the Japanese had launched more than a dozen attacks on Cross Ridge.
times, so many attacks, which is enough to show the determination of these Japs to take over Cross Ridge.
In order to cope with the constant attacks of the Japanese, the soldiers of the independent regiment worked very hard. They had not had enough rest in the first place and it was difficult for them to get time to rest again.
In such a battle, Li Yunlong and Tada Banri knew very well that this offensive and defensive battle had become a competition of fighting will between the two sides. Whichever side could not persist would mean failure.
Late at night, the Japanese stopped attacking. It was not that Banri Tada did not want to continue the attack on Cross Ridge, but that his Japanese soldiers had no idea of continuing the attack. After more than a dozen attacks, they failed to capture Cross Ridge.
Even if they can rush to the defensive position of the Independent Regiment, the Japanese will be driven back as quickly as possible by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. This will seriously deplete the morale of the Japanese.
If there were not a supervision team behind these Japanese soldiers, once the Japanese soldiers choose to retreat after issuing an attack order, the supervision team behind them would directly shoot and kill them. Then I am afraid that the Japanese soldiers would have chosen to give up the battle. For these Japanese soldiers,
Generally speaking, the battle to attack Cross Ridge was the most brutal battle they had ever experienced. Every charge would cause certain casualties. Even though they knew that the Cross Ridge defended by the Eighth Route Army could not be easily captured, they still needed to launch attacks continuously. These Japanese soldiers were very
It's hard to keep going.
After these Japanese soldiers chose to give up and continue fighting, no matter how much commander Banri Tada kept talking, the Japanese soldiers had no response. Their physical and mental conditions could not continue to support them in fighting. At this time,
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers just wanted to lie down, take a good rest, and continue the attack. The Japanese soldiers felt that they might not die under the guns of the independent regiment soldiers, but would be exhausted to death.
In the end, Tada Banri could only choose to compromise and could not continue the attack. What could he do? He couldn't kill all the Japanese soldiers, right?
At three o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, under the leadership of Li Yunlong, took the initiative to launch an attack on the Japanese. The extremely exhausted Japanese soldiers were unable to organize an effective resistance, and the Japanese soldiers suffered many casualties. Taking advantage of the initiative to attack Rabbit,
During the attack, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment also successfully burned down many Japanese camps and blew up some of the Japanese weapons and ammunition, which relieved a lot of pressure on the Independent Regiment's subsequent defense of Cross Ridge.
After being attacked by the Independent Regiment at night, the Japanese soldiers could no longer rest peacefully. The charge horns sounded from time to time in the Independent Regiment, which frightened the Japanese soldiers. When the Japanese soldiers did not have a good rest, the Independent Regiment had to deal with the enemy's attack.
The attack after coming down was much easier. I don't know why these Japanese soldiers never had other reinforcements, so the defensive pressure on the independent regiment was not that great.
One day later, these Japs chose to retreat. The Eighth Route Army troops returned to Liao County and were heading towards Cross Ridge at full speed. The Japs did not dare to take risks and had no choice but to retreat.
After the independent regiment knew that the Japanese had retreated, they had no intention of pursuing them. The defense of Cross Ridge made the soldiers of the independent regiment exhausted. After learning the news that the Japanese had withdrawn, the soldiers just wanted to have a good rest. They were really exhausted.
They were too tired. After the soldiers rested, more than a dozen of them fell asleep forever and never woke up again.
On June 11, the support troops successfully arrived at Cross Ridge, the Japanese troops withdrew from the Cross Ridge area, and all units returned to the Liao County base area to restore order in the base area.
