Chapter 892 The road is narrow!(1/2)
"Leng Feng, what do you think I will choose?" He suddenly asked in a deep voice when he looked at Tang Dao who had been away.
In the distance, I just experienced a blast.
In order to expand the access passage to the city, an engineer who followed the Third Battalion lined up under a city wall and buried nearly 200 kilograms of explosives!
However, in order to ensure a wider access for infantry, engineers did not use the previous method of blasting that placed 200 kilograms of explosives in the same area, which was almost crazy. Although it could send a city wall that was nearly twenty meters long to the sky, it could even use a rain of stone to smash the Japanese position not far from the city wall, and it would not blow you to death.
However, compared with this result, Leng Front is more inclined to ensure its own path for infantry attack.
The road cannot be narrow!
Therefore, it is a directional blast divided into 3 positions!
A section of the city wall that was 80 meters wide collapsed completely, exposing the Japanese defensive positions illuminated by the flares to the vision of the two commanders.
The Japanese army's positions were deployed very well. In the darkness, machine guns were constantly there, and sparks flashed from the rifle's guns were flashing. Chinese soldiers suppressed by Japanese firepower fought back behind the broken walls. The light and heavy machine guns of both sides shot each other in the night sky, which looked extremely magnificent red phantoms.
In the last darkness before dawn, for ordinary people, this is undoubtedly an unforgettable wonder for a lifetime, but for two soldiers who have experienced countless cruel battlefields, they all know that behind the disappearance of each phantom, the flower of life is withering.
Whether it is a Chinese soldier or a Japanese invader!
War has never been related to beauty, and some can only be cruel!
"I don't know!" Leng Feng shook his head in pain.
He had no choice, but he was in pain because he could see the medical soldiers crazily carrying off wounded soldiers from the front line. In just a moment, there were more than ten, and this had not officially entered the critical stage. The last time the Battle of Bihe was to defend against the attack of a Japanese infantry brigade, he did not suffer so many casualties in the early stage.
Sure enough, the battle is much harder than the defense battle.
"In this war, China has encountered strong enemies that have never been encountered in thousands of years. Whether in terms of national strength or industrial ability, China is at a disadvantage. It is almost impossible to win the final victory.
But fortunately, we have a vast territory and a huge population, which is the only opportunity for China to reverse.
That’s right, fearless death and sacrifice! It’s the only chance that China wants to win this war.
This sacrifice is not only our soldiers, but also all Chinese. In order for our descendants to continue living on this land, sacrifice is necessary." Tang Dao's tone was firm and cold.
Leng Feng felt a trembling feeling. He already knew about the final choice of his regiment commander.
"Leng Feng, do you know that as the top commander of the front line, every second of hesitation will increase the number of casualties in your subordinates.
Moreover, the Japanese invaders in the city may have approached the residential area. Every minute of delay will give birth to the worst outcome we had expected in advance. At that time, when you see rows of white-haired old ladies and crying babies, do you still have the courage to order your brothers to shoot? If you don’t want to or dare to sacrifice, then you will face more sacrifices." Tang Dao still didn’t look at his power-powered command, his eyes were full of red flying in the night sky.
"What's more, do you think the Japanese army's defense against our people will allow them to continue to stay around their positions to spy on them?
How could they have thought that one day their firepower was not as good as the Chinese army they looked down upon at all? They built a defensive position with houses and streets, and were probably thinking of a large number of killing infantry soldiers, but never thought that the opponents they encountered would have cannons!" Tang Dao's eyes suddenly became a little hesitant: "I think, you, the highest commander in the south gate, should know what you should do!"
Tang Dao's commander of the three infantry battalions, Lei Xiong, deputy regiment and battalion commander of the first battalion, was bold and enthusiastic, the second battalion commander Guo Shouzhi was persistent and calm, and the third battalion commander Leng Feng was cruel and firm.
It seems that among the three infantry battalion commanders, Leng Feng is the coldest one, and the one who can make the most effective decision when facing such difficult decisions.
But in fact, Leng Feng is a typical example of cold-hearted and warm-hearted person. In the battle of gold pit, he exposed his entire company's position for the stone. Zhengzhou was attacked by the Japanese. His individual combat power was actually far weaker than that of two Japanese ninjutsu masters, but he still guarded the box door for half a step, almost protecting the woman he liked with his life.
The coldness on his face was to cover up the pain in his heart, and the coldness in his heart was actually only for one kind of person--------Japanese invaders!
It is almost impossible for such a person to expect him to make such an almost cruel choice in a very short time.
But the South Gate position is very special. Mingxin has been shopping in Licheng for the streets and alleys this week, and has not only made a living for food and accommodation. He has never had the chance to visit the arsenal area where the Japanese army was heavily guarded. He has found the situation in the Japanese army camp and residential areas in Licheng, and the information has long been spread to Tang Dao.
At the night combat meeting of the four teams last night, except for Lei Xiong who had already gone to the blocking position, the two infantry battalions commanders each knew the situation of their upcoming combat areas.
In the Nanmen area, the residents in the houses that were requisitioned by the Japanese army as positions were naturally driven away.
In fact, before the Japanese army was still in the future, one-third of the indigenous residents in Licheng County had fled. Those who stayed either had no place to go, or they thought with a lucky mentality that the Japanese army would not do anything to them. The population of the entire Licheng County was only 6,000 at most. As the Japanese army vigorously promoted the so-called "China-Japan friendship", they did not do anything bad in the city. There were more than 1,000 people returning to the county town, and that was only 7,000 people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! There is a street leading to the city center of the south gate, which is also the commercial center of the entire Licheng County town. Businessmen such as rice shops, grain shops, wine shops, cloth shops, restaurants, etc. are basically concentrated on this street.
Businessmen are indeed different from ordinary people. Money is even more attractive to them than life. When the Japanese come, civilians run more, but many businessmen still choose to stick to it.
Although the Japanese army also had the phenomenon of eating for free, it was not as burning, killing and looting as the legendary ones. The bottom line of people was reduced so quickly. In the past half month, many shops have even opened their doors to do business.
To put it bluntly, as the most prosperous area in Licheng County, there are naturally no Chinese on the Japanese position in the South Gate, but the surrounding houses were not driven away, and there were still many businessmen. Once the artillery was fired, they would definitely be accidentally injured.
If Leng Feng saw that his compatriots were crippled under his command, it would definitely be a big blow to him, and it might become his inner demon for life, just like he saw his younger brother die before his eyes.
Until now, the bayonet used by his younger brother is still under his pillow. Without that knife, he can't fall asleep no matter how deep the night is.
Tang Dao can't look at Leng Feng with another shackle!
That's why he came to the South Gate to supervise the battle himself.
Sure enough, when Leng Feng couldn't make a decision, Tang Dao helped him make a decision.
But with the development of the Four Army Regiment and the changes in the battle situation, Tang Dao could not stand behind him every time. Leng Feng, who has become a battalion-level commander or even a higher position, must learn to make choices.
As Tang Dao said, for the sake of the victory of the nation, no one can be without sacrifice, including himself.
In every war, what you win is not only victory, but also sacrifice, but also learning and growth.
Soldiers become elite soldiers in all battles. Commanders learn to dare to take on more responsibilities, even if they are ashamed of being hurt.
One general succeeded and his bones were bleak. Tang Dao was forced to learn to be cruel and cruel, and the same was true for his subordinates.
"Order, the officers and soldiers under the city wall area will withdraw from the city wall in batches, leaving an infantry platoon to restrain the Japanese firepower and cover the engineer platoon to reach the near battlefield; the infantry platoon at the city gate will be ordered to retreat into the city gate hole, and no reckless advances shall be made before the military order arrives.
The 1st Company of Telegram Cannons used all 82 force to cooperate with our battalion's machine gun company to carry out artillery fire coverage on the Japanese front-line positions after sending out signal flares.
At the same time, the 2nd Company of Telegram Cannons was reported. Because the Japanese army had a fortress, our battalion needed firepower reinforcements, so we asked them to support four rapid-fire cannons and four infantry cannons!"
Leng Feng lowered his head and pondered for more than ten seconds, then raised his head and issued an order.
Three minutes later, watching the soldiers who retreated from the city wall area to 300 meters away looking for cover to hide, Leng Feng looked at Tang Dao with cold eyes and finally couldn't help saying, "Group, I'm sorry, there may still be many people in this area, I still want to try again..."
"Haha, very good, Leng Feng, you did better than I thought. If you just requested the 1st Cannon Company to use a 150-heavy mortar or a 75-shan Cannon, then you will be the best at becoming a regiment-level commander in the future. If you have been under my command of Mr. Tang!" Tang Dao, who was still cold on his face just now, showed a smile.
In such a cruel battlefield, sacrifice is already the most common situation. If you feel deeply guilty when you see a little blood from your side, then don’t shout the slogan of defending your country and go home to the baby.
But if you ignore the lives and death of the civilians on your side for tactical victory, you will be as cold-blooded as a butcher.
Just like the entrance of the Yellow River Garden in time and space, yes, after the embankment was blasted, the surging Yellow River water turned a small half of Henan Province into a Ze country, hindering the progress of the Japanese mechanized troops. Zhengzhou was saved and forced the slow-marching Japanese army to take a detour. The battle surrounding Jiangxia, an important city in central China, thus gaining valuable time, which is strategically a victory.
However, the price paid by the people of Henan Province was as high as 890,000 people were buried in fish belly, millions became victims, and bones stretched for thousands of miles.
The great loss was even greater than the rampage of the Japanese invaders in Jinling. Tang Dao could not agree with such a cold strategic victory.
Of course, Tang Dao also knew very clearly that this was the reason why he could only become a soldier in his past and present life, but could not become a politician.
There is no warmth on the battlefield, but it does not mean that one loses human nature.
The choice of cold front is very good.
The accuracy of the 150 heavy mortar and the 75 mountain cannon is much worse than that of the 82 that can fire at 500 meters outside the battlefield. If there is a slight mistake, it can blow up the residential area into white.
When he used the engineer platoon again, Tang Dao vaguely guessed his next battle method.
This time, he no longer needs infantry attacks the passage, he wants to use another way to give the Japanese a color.
In addition to the 60-meter gap, the tall city wall at the south gate is more than 500 meters long. The first row of Bai Sheng's engineer company can carry a full 800 kilograms of explosives this time, which are all left after the last time the Yellow River Iron Bridge was blown up.
In order to ensure that the large iron bridge of the Yellow River completely disappeared on the Yellow River, the First War Zone Command specially approved a total of 4,000 kilograms of explosives, which emptied the old foundation.
Since Tang Dao had exchanged some of the seized weapons for the New Eighth Division's Engineer Company, the remaining explosives were naturally accepted. Tang Dao was not a charity person, so the things he swallowed were spit out again.
So, the engineer platoon who went into battle again buried 400 kilograms of explosives under a complete city wall that was less than 20 meters away from the Japanese defensive position!
That was 400 kilograms of explosives. When Tang Dao participated in the Battle of Four, he buried hundreds of kilograms in a building and then exploded a building.
This section of the city wall is only 4 meters high and 3 meters wide, which is nothing compared to the buildings made of reinforced concrete.
With a loud "boom", the city wall that is not as majestic as 20 meters was directly bombed into the sky.
The strong smoke of gunpowder enveloped the entire city wall area.
In other words, it was darkness that enveloped the city wall area.
Because, from that moment on, there were neither fiery red phantoms nor anyone made flares.
All the Chinese soldiers on the position, including Tang Tuanzu and Leng Feng, all moved in the same movement, curled up their bodies and buried their heads on the position.
The broken stone even traveled through three hundred meters of space and smashed it on the steel helmet.
As for what jingle is, it doesn't exist.
Because everyone's eardrums were buzzing because of this huge explosion, and they could not hear any sound at all. Even if someone roared in his ears, they were as low as mosquitoes and flies.
And this is notified everyone to use cotton to block their ears tightly.
If it is not blocked, you can just listen so hard, and if it is only a few dozen meters apart, it is estimated that the possibility of becoming a deaf person is more than 80%.
It took nearly a minute before Leng Feng ordered the grenade launcher to approach the city wall to shoot a flare.
Then, looking up at the Chinese soldiers ahead, gasping for a collective breath.
The scene of concentrated explosion of 400 kilograms of explosives is much more terrifying than before using 200 kilograms to open up the road.
The city wall, which was originally three or four meters high, has become a ruin, and the highest place is nothing but a waist-high ruin.
All the bricks and stones weighing tens of tons were blown away, and the explosives buried pits were slanted inward along the base of the city wall, which was a very typical directional blast. Sixty or seventy percent of the bricks and stones that were blown away were flying towards the county town within the city wall, especially the Japanese positions that were only thirty or forty meters away from the city wall.
Compared with the cannonballs that can enter the soul, the lethality of the stones flying into the residential area is much lower. Leng Feng finally chose this kind of attack method that is slightly gentle to the people on his side.
But for the Japanese army, it was really irritable.
Originally a few minutes ago, as the Chinese on the city wall became less and less firepower became weaker, Lieutenant Nakaki, who was responsible for leading more than 160 soldiers to station the South Gate, was still a little excited.
To be continued...
