Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 541

In the end, the iron head company commander, who was lying in the mud and listening to the Japanese army column go away, did not issue any orders.

A fire support company with machine guns set up and heavy machine gun ammunition chains loaded just watched a heavily armed Japanese army passing by.

At this moment, I don't know how many people feel in their hearts that Cheng Tieshou has lived up to his nickname of 'Iron Head' that was talked about by Deputy Lei Ying every day.

It seems that when it comes to the nickname of Iron Head, there are a lot of stories about Iron Head Company Commander among the first class sergeant squad leaders who have followed him for the longest time.

It is said that he once dared to risk his head under the saturated bombardment of the Japanese army's mountain artillery, holding a heavy machine gun in his hand and shooting at the Japanese army crawling 500 meters ahead. After the war, at least five places on the helmet on his head were shrapneled The traces of the blow, the iron end, don't want it.

He also once sat on the machine gun seat and fired at the swooping Japanese machine gun. The bullets from the Japanese machine gun had already swept onto the steel shield in front of the machine gun, causing sparks to fly. He could be sent away sitting in the shooting position with even a bomb, but not only did he miraculously survive, he even beat up the enemy plane.

But it is such an army captain who has enough legendary stories, at the moment when faced with the possibility of attacking his comrades-in-arms, he faltered, lay down in the mud, and 'listened' to them going away until there was no sound, no sound .

It's not that the iron-headed company commander's head is not strong enough, nor is it that the iron-headed company commander dare not sacrifice, but that when he made a difficult choice, the Japanese helped him make the decision.

Because, he was surprised to find that the Japanese army was not advancing towards the position where the battle broke out at high speed, as he had imagined.

The position where the Japanese army advanced at a high speed turned out to be their own garrison.

Which one are the Japanese playing here?
At that moment, the iron-headed company commander's thinking was absolutely chaotic.

Although the wilderness he was in was still dark, there were quite a few sounds. Apart from the heavy footsteps of the Japanese troops gradually receding, more of them came from the dull explosion of artillery shells in the direction of the main position several kilometers away.

The red light flashing across the sky from time to time proves that the Chinese and Japanese artillery groups in the direction of the main position are unwilling to be lonely and are firing at each other. If there is no accident, this is similar to what was expected before the war. Dare to move at will.

On the flanking battlefield, only the independent battalion will be left active.

And closer, apart from the unclear sound, the muffled 'boom' echoes should be the continuous explosion of 82-caliber mortar shells, which means that the three infantry companies in front have already contacted the enemy.

But instead of cooperating with their allies, the Japanese army insisted on marching towards the station, what did they want to do?This is unreasonable.

Company Commander Iron Head tried his best to sort out a logical line from the extremely chaotic thoughts, while desperately thinking about what he should do.

In the end, he calmly made a decision not to attack the Japanese invaders for the time being, and returned with the whole company.

Because, he judged, the target of this Japanese army turned out to be a flank position.

Yes, although this possibility is a bit absurd, but combined with the fact that the three infantry were connected to the enemy and the stubborn direction of the Japanese army, Cheng Tieshou made his own judgment. They wanted to attack the Japanese artillery wing, but The Japanese wanted to dig out the roots of the independent battalion, and the latter two gangs of soldiers with malicious intentions met unexpectedly in this central area.

As for why the Japanese, who were not touched and ran so fast, insisted on moving towards the target so stubbornly after the friendly army had already approached the enemy, Cheng Tieshou couldn't figure out the reason why he wanted to break his iron head up.

But this is not important. What is important is that there is an artillery company and a mortar battalion in the direction of the Japanese army. Fortunately, there is a guard platoon guarding them. Otherwise, the Japanese army will use the night to arrive quietly. If the artillery unit came to a hand-to-hand battle with them, the loss would be great.

Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Leng Feng are all the best soldiers Cheng Tieshou has ever seen, and the three infantry companies are all lightly armed. Even if they can't beat the Japanese, it should be no problem to run away with their feet loose. Therefore, the iron head company commander finally made up his mind to return to the army to catch up with the Japanese, join the artillery company and the mortar battalion, and kill this wave of cowardly devils.

No, perhaps the baggage company left in the station must also be added.

Cheng Tieshou called the only guard squad under him 5 minutes after the Japanese army left, and simply drew a few places on the map, explaining the location where his fire support company would arrive, and then ordered them to divide into two groups. All the weapons and equipment were left behind, only carrying the Nanfang [-]-style pistols specially issued to the shooters, and passed through the two wings of the maneuvering Japanese army to inform the Pang Dahai two kilometers behind and the Chief of Staff Zhuang farther away to gather in the independent battalion With all the remaining troops, encircle the Japanese army in the wilderness, and don't even think about leaving.

The results after the battle proved that the iron-headed company commander's decision not to be iron-headed this time was indeed the most sensible and exciting decision in this encounter, bar none.

Even Battalion Commander Tang Day, at the post-war summary meeting, was forced to conduct a self-examination because of the joint proposal of Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan.

Although Battalion Commander Tang Day rushed into the enemy group as a cheetah and killed several Japanese invaders in a row, boosting his own morale, thereby destroying the ferocity of the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, and drove them into the wilderness to be shot by machine guns, thus reducing his own casualties. The highest military officer of the Independence Battalion always took the lead in such a way, but for a company commander like Li Jiujin, it was a kind of torture.

What if there is an accident?On the battlefield, there has never been such a thing as invulnerability. No matter how powerful Tang Dao is, as long as he is unlucky, a small stray bullet can kill him.

The death of the highest military officer in front of the soldiers is undoubtedly a huge blow to morale. It is very possible that the original victory will be completely destroyed, and the entire army will be defeated. Even if Tang Dao is dead, he has to bear this responsibility .

This is still the simplest truth, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

In the past, the battlefield was either surrounded by the Japanese or chased. It required a strong man like Tang Dao to go forward bravely to boost the morale of the whole army and fight for a way out. But today is different. More and more people follow him. The moment he became the backbone of more than 1000 people, it was already doomed that he would no longer be able to make decisions based on his own will as before.

Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan mustered up the courage to point out the mistakes of Commander Tang Daying, and all the participants agreed without exception. It was the first time that Commander Tang Daying, the highest official, was attacked by his subordinates, so he could only hold his nose and make a self-criticism. He also guarantees that, unless there are special circumstances, he, the supreme commander, will never appear at the scene of hand-to-hand combat.

Although Battalion Commander Tang Day also played a game of words, he only said that he would not appear on the scene of hand-to-hand combat, but he did not guarantee that he would not appear on the front line, but compared to him who would carry a knife and do it himself, it was already a great improvement. Very satisfied.

All the officers know that their fate is already tied to Tang Dao, even if they die, as long as Tang Dao is still alive, their families will be properly settled, but if Tang Dao is dead, then nothing will happen up.

Company commander Tietou made a wise decision, but after giving up Tietou.

But as his spoils of war, Captain Sanben Younan is an out-and-out iron.

As the only infantry squadron selected as the vanguard of the 47th Infantry Regiment, Mimoto Yuo has been holding his breath.

In other words, with the former captain of the 23rd Infantry Regiment acting as the head of the brigade, everyone in the 47th Infantry Regiment felt disgusted.The 47th Infantry Regiment, which has suffered the most losses, has two 23 people less than the 300rd Infantry Regiment. To supplement supplies, the 47th Infantry Regiment has not even seen a candy shadow, although the 23rd Infantry Regiment has heard There is no such thing, but once the seed of jealousy is planted, as long as I don't have it, it is the original sin.

Moreover, the supreme commander of the vanguard is also from the 23rd Infantry Regiment, and Sanben Yunan is even more upset.

Therefore, from the moment before departure, Sanben Younan shut down the specially distributed field radio station and kept silent, and waited until it got close to the Chinese defense line before turning it on again.

Morita Shinji, what a ball!That's a second hand.

With a lot of resentment, Sanben Younan almost didn't let the soldiers under his command refresh. He ran five or six kilometers in one breath, far ahead of the other two idiot infantry squadrons. He must show the idiots of the 23rd Infantry Regiment Look, who is the most elite infantry of the Sixth Division.

Sanben Younan, who was so hard-headed that he was almost irrational, even ignored the sound of guns from afar, and strictly followed the battle plan made before the battle to advance towards the goal.

His idea is that there is no main force of the Chinese here, even if you encounter a small group of Chinese, it is not a big problem to deal with the Chinese, not to mention there are three infantry brigades behind!
If the sneak attack fails, then attack by force.

Anyway, he wants to be the sharpest knife.

This may be the toughest infantry squadron leader in the history of the Sino-Japanese War, not one of them.

More than 200 Japanese troops, led by him, plunged into the encirclement of the independent battalion without iron.

The artillery company and the heavy mortar battalion who got the news by accident raised their muzzles high, the reconnaissance platoon entered the simple trench and waited in full force, and the supply company sent two supply platoons to rush to the battlefield with all their strength.

With more than 900 troops, a large encirclement gradually formed.

Of course, what is even more terrible is not the strength of the Japanese army.

Rather, it will be a battlefield that gathers all the heavy firepower of the Independent Battalion, plus 10 150mm mortars.

Not to mention a reinforced squadron of about 200 people, even an infantry brigade, I'm afraid they will be beaten all over the place.
