under fire

Chapter 415 Headache
In the midday sun.

Not far from a dark wooden telephone pole, the second lieutenant put down the microphone in his hand.

An order came from the headquarters to cooperate with the cavalry brigade to establish a defense line on the spot, and troops from several other directions are encircling the group of Eight Routes on the plain.

In the northeast direction, hundreds of war horses are slowly heading west, looking like a thin line from a distance, coming straight to the west.

A motorcycle broke into the vanguard of the cavalry.

A large number of devils, cavalry, and infantry hung behind the thousands of troops in the military division.

The air force in the sky only came to reconnaissance planes, and the expected bombing did not come.

Maybe it was because the military division was running too fast, or maybe the encirclement encircled by the devils was not completely closed. After the military division was broken, the troops blocked it very easily, and even the troops who came out to pursue from the county did not rush in.

The devil followed slowly behind, running under the scorching sun all morning, no one could bear it.

The military division also ordered the vanguard to enter the village for a temporary rest.

The headquarters was temporarily set up in an unoccupied dilapidated house.

There was a broken table in the middle of the room, and some old benches were placed, and the division operator was arranging a tense overhead antenna.

Finally, there is no need to stop, no need to trek under the scorching sun, and you can feel a little coolness when you enter the house.

The cavalry company commander walked into the house with a worried heart. He knew that he was called here, and he must be asked to report the battle situation and recall the battlefield situation carefully. There seems to be nothing missing.
The first time I entered the headquarters, the commander, staff, political commissar, and regimental leaders were probably there, and even the battalion commander didn't go in. How can I not be nervous if I ask myself a company commander to go to a meeting?
After entering the door, he planned to salute the thousand chiefs according to his own expectations, but found that a group of people were gathered around the broken table, and no one paid any attention to him.

After hesitating for a moment, he quickly ran to the head of the cavalry, Zeng, and Political Commissar Kuang, and stood there dumbfounded, not daring to say anything.

"We dug a human pit this time. The devil must have wanted to encircle us in Qixian County. Our scouts discovered our whereabouts in advance!"

"The devils didn't expect us to retreat to the east early in the morning. Their encirclement to the east was not formed, and the devils and the puppet army were repelled by the cavalry company. Your cavalry company is really good!" The commander couldn't help but praise Zeng Tuan.

After the cavalry company finished cleaning the battlefield, Hu Yi asked Ma Liang to arrange a correspondent to report the battlefield situation to the independent regiment inside.

He praised the bravery of the cavalry company, and the ninth company and the second company Wang Pengying only assisted the cavalry.

The staff officer was a little puzzled: "According to the news reported by Captain Yu and the others, the devil cavalry in the east should have crossed the Wei River and came to our side, but they have not been seen until now. I don't know what the devil has. Conspiracy? This matter must be taken seriously!"

"If we want to go forward, we have to cross the Wei River first, and then we have to cross the Dagong River in Huaxian County. However, due to the severe drought this year, there has not been much water in the upper reaches of the Wei River for more than half a year. Trapping us to death, the devil must have miscalculated this time."

"It's not right. I don't think it's impossible for the Weihe Duliu Devils not to know about it. They must have some kind of conspiracy."

"What kind of conspiracy could there be? The devils outflanked about 2000 people in each direction, or the devils sandwiched puppet troops. I'm afraid of a ball."

"Report, urgent call from division headquarters!" The radio operator next to him stood up, holding a piece of paper.

"Read!" The commander looked up.

"Your troops have finished cutting off the enemy's logistics line, and the focus is on preserving strength! Your troops can retreat to the east, and if the enemy intercepts them, wait for an opportunity to enter the Luxi Mountains. Don't hesitate."

The commander's face darkened: "We have been fighting in the plains for so many years, and his little devil wants me to enter Luxi with a few cavalry. Isn't that just going to Liangshan? Commander, he also underestimates our military division!"

The staff officer made a few gestures on the map: "Liangshan? It doesn't seem that far away. Good guy, it's only one or two hundred kilometers away. That's a good place for guerrilla warfare, haha."

The commander finally saw the cavalry company commander behind the regiment commander, and immediately smiled: "Your cavalry company fought well this time. The independent regiment of Lao Lu sent a correspondent to tell you that you fought bravely in this great victory. It is a big sacrifice. Some, turn around and ask your team leader to make up for you!"

"Uh, report to the commander, Company Commander Hu is actually in command, and the second company of their independent regiment is the one who sacrificed the most!" The cavalry company commander did not hide it.

"Huh? The Second Company of the Independent Regiment sacrificed the most? What's the matter? Lao Lu, didn't you say that the cavalry company suffered the most losses? It seems that the generals under your command are dishonest, hiding such losses? What, you are Look down on our military division?" The commander's face darkened.

Head Lu was taken aback. The guy who played with armored cars and cars in the village was so daring, did something happen?Quickly said: "How could it be? There are only four companies under our independent regiment, and they fight guerrillas in the mountains all day long. Few people in the whole division don't know it, and it has become a joke."

Hearing this, the commander raised his hand and looked at his watch, then turned his head to the cavalry company commander: "Hey, then tell me about the battle process?"

Now that the matter has come to an end, the cavalry company commander quickly cleared his throat: "Yesterday company commander Hu found the cavalry regiment and gave us ten cavalry guns from the second battalion. He said he would borrow [-] of our horses for two days. The battalion commander felt that borrowing a platoon would not have much effect. In the afternoon, we rode horses, together with Company Commander Hu and the others on bicycles, to the east of Mei County about [-] miles away, and dug an armored vehicle out of the ground. Because there was no gasoline, we used horses to pull the armored vehicle to the west of the village.

It was midnight when I came back, and Company Commander Gao of the Independent Regiment just came to look for Company Commander Hu of the Nine Company. Because the Nine Company had bicycles, their reconnaissance range was far away. The comrades who were reconnaissance to the east found that there was a group of devils more than 20 miles away. And cars.

Company Commander Hu planned to seize the car and arrange to drive eastward before dawn. He asked me if I could help. I thought it was okay anyway, so I asked the battalion commander for instructions. The battalion commander also agreed because he had not found any trace of the enemy. .

We drove our armored vehicles to the village. After a meeting, Company Commander Gao insisted on going left, and Company Commander Hu arranged for Battalion Commander Wang and the Ninth Company of the Supplementary Regiment to show weakness to the enemy and lure the devils to charge.

The devil first launched the shelling, and the Ninth Company quickly dug a trench temporarily, and hid in the trench and ignored the devil. After the shelling was over, the devil pulled a skirmish line to attack the Ninth Company and Battalion Commander Wang, and then our cavalry held a meeting according to Company Commander Hu. At the time of the arrangement, outflank from the left flank.

A company of Company Commander Gao charged towards the devils from the left!Because we were fast and started late, we were the first to make contact with the devils. After rushing up, the devils and puppet soldiers had no time to form a line of skirmishers, so we rushed up and killed a devil! "

When the soldier said this, he didn't care, he just pulled a tea mug from the table and poured it into his mouth.

Everyone around is supplementing the battle scenes in their minds.

The military division staff thought for a while, then suddenly asked in a low voice: "Please explain clearly, how many devils and puppet troops are there?"

"A squadron of devils, with heavy machine guns, two mortars, more than a dozen small cannons, um, and almost a battalion of puppet troops." The cavalry company commander put down his water glass, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and continued.

"You mean, the puppet army has a battalion? Then how many troops did they invest in the first attack?" The commander's eyes lit up.

"Well, almost a company of puppet troops is in front, and a small group of devils is behind."

"Then how much is the battle damage of your cavalry company?"

"36 people were sacrificed, and 62 were lightly or severely wounded! Well, eight of the wounded were fractured when they fell off their horses." The company commander remembered clearly.

"What? You suffered nearly a hundred casualties? How many people are there in your company?"

"140 six!" The cavalry company commander quickly replied, "I even borrowed half a platoon from the battalion!"

"You're not bad, but what happened next? Tell me in detail how you repelled the devil's attack?" The commander was very satisfied.

"After we rushed over, the puppet army saw the cavalry coming fast, so they turned their heads and ran back, and were forced to charge by the devils behind them with guns, but they turned into a mess. We took advantage of the chaos to kill the devils and puppet troops. The machine guns at the back of the devils couldn't support them, so the Jiu Company fired at the devils' position."

"Wait, you said that the Ninth Company has artillery, is it a grenadier or a small artillery?"

"Uh, I know about this. The Ninth Company has two captured mortars." The political commissar was not calm, so he quickly added.

"Isn't that right, you have two cannons in one company?" The commander showed disbelief on his face.

"Hey, it's just two mortars. I've seen them before. The Ninth Company also has eight grenadiers!" The cavalry company commander quickly added.

The commander gasped: "Lao Lu, I have a headache. You are all poor like this? Are you intentionally putting all the firepower aside, and all the people who brought me here are pretending to be poor?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Don't you want to add old sleeves to me? Let me tell you that I don't like you and don't believe it." Head Lu was not at peace, but he was in a good mood. There are quite a few sleeves: "Don't interrupt, let him continue."

"Later, almost one company of Company Commander Gao attacked from the left, and the puppet army had machine guns. After nearly half of their casualties, they finally reached the puppet army's position. The second company was really good at bayonet fighting! With the remaining half of the company, The ghosts were killed, but unfortunately, most of them were sacrificed later."

Head Lu was surprised: "What did you say, isn't Gao Yidao doing well in the village? You said most of them died?"

"Uh, don't worry, Captain, they lost about 100 people, but Company Commander Gao's company should be a strengthened company, there are about 300 people?"

"More than 300 people? Is that still a company? Isn't this a battalion?" The staff officer frowned: "Go ahead!"

"Later, Company Commander Hu gave the order to charge back. Battalion Commander Wang Peng and his company attacked the Japanese positions in the rear, but they were crushed and beaten by the Devils' machine gun grenades. Company Commander Hu told me to continue attacking to the right.

Company Commander Gao also led the rest of his comrades to charge towards the devils again. Their second company directly defeated the devil squad that was supervising the battle behind. Then, the leader of the devil squadron was shot coldly. The puppet army and the devils turned around and ran eastward. "

The commander was stunned for a while, his grandma's battle was a typical frontal defeat, including showing the enemy to lure the enemy with weakness, flanking with superior forces, suppressing with firepower, and finally attacking from the front!
It's a classic positional battle!
Thinking of this, I looked around: "Wait, this is not right, let me clear it up, Jiulian doesn't have gasoline, and asked us to borrow it, but we didn't have it, and then Jiulian planned to use the devil's car, and he didn't." Reported, and then united a battalion of the supplementary regiment, plus one of my cavalry companies, to attack the devils, a squadron and a puppet army battalion. This is a bit messy. Oh, I have a headache. gone?"

"Battalion Commander Wang actually only brought one company!" The cavalry company commander quickly explained.

"You cavalry company, how many enemies have you eliminated?" The staff officer ignored the commander, and then asked the cavalry company commander.

"Annihilate a small squad of devils, er, and the puppet company that attacked!" The cavalry company commander was a little guilty. Nearly half of the wounded devils and the puppet troops who surrendered were stabbed to death by the Ninth Company while cleaning the battlefield. can not say.

"Lu, let your company commander named Hu come to see me!" The commander slapped the table.
