Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 709 The light that breaks the ice
Tang Dao is sensible enough, and the withdrawal speed of the independent battalion is also very fast.

The whole army retreated for less than an hour, and everyone was still in the forest. Hammer vigilantly turned his head to the east and let out a low growl.

Within 1 minute, more than [-] small black dots appeared in the sky.

The Japanese Navy dispatched up to two squadrons of fighter planes to join the battle when the dense fog faded a little. Because of the precise position provided by the reconnaissance plane, nearly five tons of bombs were dumped by more than [-] fighter planes on the deserted Qinglongling Village. On that lonely mountain.

In front of the infantry artillery and mountain artillery, the rock-solid stone walls and the stone houses in the village were instantly wiped out in front of the 500-pound aerial bomb.

Looking at my home from afar on the mountain was destroyed by the "eggs" laid by the "big iron bird" hovering in the air, even when the Japanese army was besieged, holding the stone that the trembling little girl didn't shed tears, the tears finally flowed down.

That was his home, where he was born and raised, where his parents were, and now, they are all gone.

"Don't worry, little Shitou, you will go home. One day, you will come back." Leng Feng, who was helping Shitou carry the little girl, was full of pity, and his rough palm gently stroked Shishi's little head.

"Uncle Leng, is it true? Can we still go home?" Shitou looked up at Leng Feng with tears in his eyes.

"Well! I promise you in the name of a soldier. You, grandpa, and sister will all go home." Leng Feng knelt down, met the brave little shepherd with gentle eyes, and replied firmly.

"En!" Shitou wiped the tears on his face with his dirty sleeve corner, and nodded fiercely.

"Good boy!" Looking at the stubborn but strong stone, Leng Feng smiled on his stern and stern face like a knife and an axe.

Smile so bright, so warm.

If the old comrades of the Four Elements Battalion were here, they would definitely be surprised.

Leng Feng was originally a person with a dull personality. After receiving the news that his family was slaughtered by the Japanese army, he was even more reticent. When his younger brother died in battle in the Sixing Warehouse, his face was like an eternal glacier. Never seen a smile.

Perhaps, only when killing devils would his soldiers see flames jumping in their chief's eyes, revealing his personal emotions.

Normally, he was like an iceberg, even a comrade as close as Li Jiujin felt cold when he approached him.

Of course it's not good, especially as a commander.

It's not that Tang Dao didn't try to enlighten his general, but Leng Feng, who had lost all his relatives, had completely sealed his heart, so Tang Dao could only let it go, he could only worry secretly in his heart.

The deep-rooted hatred for the Japanese may make him the most steadfast fighter, but full of hatred will also become a double-edged sword, especially for a commander, who will lose his calm because of hatred at any time, Lead him and his warriors to a desperate situation.

However, Leng Feng has always been extremely restrained. After several battles in a row, he strictly abided by military orders. The only time he violated orders without authorization was that this time he took the initiative to expose and killed a Japanese infantry unit in advance for a six or seven-year-old Chinese soldier. children.

However, Tang Dao, who received Leng Feng's telegram, was unprecedentedly not punished. Not only was Qinglongling Village, the alternative position Leng Feng was looking for, strong enough, but Leng Feng's hard heart was finally opened.

With light that can warm his heart, he is a real person, and he will not become a lunatic who blindly kills.

Yes, in the so-called heaven and earth, Tang Dao's hidden worries were completely resolved by the little boy Shitou. Leng Feng has already regarded Shitou as his younger brother, and finally there is a ray of sunshine in his mind full of hatred .

The Chinese soldiers and civilians retreated for nearly an hour, and they were almost 2 kilometers away from the battlefield. Even if the Japanese fighter planes finished raging over Qinglongling Village, and then vented and dropped the extra bombs on the nearby hills, it did not cause the slightest harm to the Chinese soldiers and civilians. damage.

Perhaps the most severely damaged was the main force of the retreating Kunisaki detachment, watching a large number of fighter planes pass by the sky above his head, his heart really hurt!
If they retreated an hour later, they could watch the fighter planes of the Navy Malu tear the Chinese who dared to surround them to pieces. How pleasant it would be!
Unfortunately, they have slipped away.

The main reason is that they really did not expect that the navy millipedes would work so hard this time. They originally said they would take off in the afternoon, but they arrived early before lunch.

In fact, this group of Japanese soldiers who were somewhat disconcerted was a bit too idealistic. If they really stayed on the ground and confronted the Chinese side, would they really treat Tang Dao as a wooden man?Just waiting to be bombed by Japanese planes?
If the Japanese army unexpectedly stood firm and refused to retreat, no matter how unhappy Tang Dao was, he would have to fight the Japanese to the death.

Before all the infantry companies set off, he had ordered Zhuang Shisan to empty all the ammunition stocks. It seemed to be a threat of encirclement, but in fact he had prepared the worst plan for a decisive battle with the Japanese.

If you really want to fight, Tang Dao will press his position towards the Japanese defense line before noon, shortening the distance between the two sides to the distance that Japanese fighter planes dare not drop bombs at will.

Moreover, the two machine guns and more than a dozen heavy machine guns of the Cheng Tieshou fire support company were equipped with anti-aircraft machine gun mounts. As long as the Japanese fighter planes dared to drop the bombs, the fire support company could only fight them.

If they don’t drop altitude, Japanese planes are not gods. On the ground, the Chinese and Japanese armies are separated by hundreds of meters, but if they drop bombs, the error will be huge. As long as they dare to drop, they may fall on both sides. The odds on the ground are about the same.

They also have to thank Kunisaki who is still in a coma. If it hadn't been for him to order the withdrawal of the troops based on his own priorities after all his thoughts, no more than a quarter of them would be able to walk out of this mountainous area in southern Anhui alive.

Tang Dao made the worst plan to bear 80.00% of the battle damage, and with the 400 people led by Tong Yi, the strength of the Chinese army on the entire battlefield exceeded 2500. Nothing good will come of it either.

Fortunately, this tragic scene did not happen because of the restraint of the commanders on both sides.

In other words, one side has lost an infantry regiment, while the other side has already achieved great success.

Tong Yi, who met Tang Dao again, held Tang Dao's hand and did not let go for a long time.

To be honest, when he received a telegram from Tang Dao last night, telling him that most of the entire tactical plan had been successfully completed and more than 2000 Japanese troops were successfully wiped out, Tong Yi was already as excited as a child and stayed up all night.

This battle was not fought by the independent battalion alone, but also with the participation of his 145th division. If the good news came back to his hometown, the faces of the elders in his hometown would be full of glory. Even if he, the brigade commander, died, it would not be a loss.

Yes, although it was a big victory on the battlefield at Laojinkeng, Tong Yi, who was trapped and isolated, was actually ready to die in battle.

Because, the six or seven hundred of them had already been surrounded by the Japanese army, and there was no way out. From the actual battlefield situation, there was no chance of survival.

Lured the enemy once, but it really became the bait swallowed by the enemy.

Not being able to go back to my hometown, not being able to see my wife and children again, is somewhat sad, but I don’t regret it!
That was the portrayal of the great brigadier's true mood that night.

He never thought that Tang Dao would send all his troops overnight, and surrounded the Japanese army on all sides with the attitude of not hesitating to fight to the death.

As a battle-hardened veteran, he knew too well that after a bitter battle in the Tang Dao Department, it was actually at the end of its battle.

Not to mention the loss of troops, but the loss of ammunition alone is probably unbearable.Even if the Japanese equipment was seized, the strongest part of Tang Daobu was not the rifle, but the large number of submachine guns and shell guns equipped. The caliber of bullets required by those equipment could not be supplemented by the Japanese army's 6.5 Tomosaka small-caliber bullets.

Without the submachine gun and shell gun that can output a lot of firepower, the combat effectiveness of Tang Dao Department has shrunk by at least half.

Moreover, it is necessary to attack the defense line that the Japanese army has established, and use its own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths. It is almost necessary to exchange the lives of 2000 Chinese soldiers for hundreds of them.

But Tang Dao did just that, and it miraculously succeeded. The hundreds of Chinese soldiers on the mountain, except for the dozens of people who were injured in the shelling and defensive battle yesterday afternoon, all left the battlefield safely.

Although it just scared the Japanese away.

But that was enough to be grateful to the army brigade commander who took the initiative to participate in the war.

Mr. Rao, who was also anxious over there and couldn't sleep at night for 24 hours, finally received a call back from his subordinates to report the victory.

Holding 'our army won a complete victory, and killed more than 2000 Japanese troops under Takeuchi Yunshan Army Commander in Laojinkeng! '' telegram, the commander of the Sichuan Army looked up to the sky and smiled.

Soldiers of the Shangqianchuan Army stationed in small towns on the plain waved their guns to pay tribute to their comrades tens of kilometers away.

They finally lived up to the entrustment of their fathers and fellow villagers who sent them off on the way before leaving, and killed the Japanese invaders on the land.

That is the glory of all the Sichuan Army!
