At one o'clock in the morning, at Huishan Pier, the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing could be heard incessantly. Everything was just like Luo Ying and others' war game. The national army who reacted began to launch a fierce attack on various key points gathered at Huishan Pier. The person responsible for the attack The unit is the newly formed 36th German Arms Division.
Headquarters of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division, Commander Hu De said (Fifth Phase Engineer Section) frowned and kept staring at the enemy points on the map, wishing he could spit fire from his eyes like Sun Dasheng. , burned all the Japanese hiding in the turtle shells to death, deputy official Zhenping reported to him:
"Regiment seat, according to the attack plan, the first battalion commander Xiong Yuncheng (sixth phase infantry section) has launched a fierce attack on Zhaofeng Road, and the third battalion commander Gu Xinheng (sixth phase artillery section, Gu Mosan's brother) has launched a fierce attack on Pinghe Road. assist; assist
Obviously, Battalion Commander Gu had no intention of assisting at all. He was competing with the first battalion, and no one was willing to give in. As a result, the commander of the second battalion, who served as the reserve team, kept shouting, blaming you for favoring one over the other. "
Seeing that the morale of the troops was very high, Commander Hu relaxed his brows and said:
"Tell Fatty Wu to stay with me. If he dares to mess with me when I need them to join the reserve team, I won't be able to spare him!"
After finishing speaking, he continued to stare at the map, as if there were thousands of troops hidden in the map.
This stare lasted for an hour. Deputy Zhenping kept shuttling back and forth between the regiment headquarters, reporting the battle situation on each front line to Commander Hu in a timely manner. This was his adjutant's duty, and in a sense he was exercising the duties of the chief of staff. .
Suddenly, Hu Decheng raised his head, glared at Fang Zhenping and said in a bad tone:
“We’ve been fighting for more than an hour, what’s going on over there with the 1st Battalion?
Why haven't we beaten him down yet? He, Xiong Yuncheng, usually screams the loudest, but why do I lose my chain at the critical moment?
I have had a good relationship with the master, and promised to end the battle before dawn. It's already late at night, and there is no progress. "
When Fang Zhenping saw that the group leader was getting angry again, he quickly explained for his old classmate:
"Tuanzuo, the Japs' defenses are very strong. The Japs are hiding in four- or five-story high-rises and shooting from above. These buildings are all made of reinforced concrete structures, which are similar to bunkers. Bullets will shoot out when they hit them. spark!
They used a large number of machine guns to block the way forward for the first battalion. Battalion Commander Xiong personally led the troops to rush several times without being able to rush through, causing heavy casualties. "
After listening to this, Captain Hu said with a cold face:
"Don't mention the casualties to me, how can there be no casualties in a war?
Let the company and platoon commanders lead the charge. If the platoon leader dies, the company commander will go up. If the company commander dies, he, the bear lame man, will go up. If the bear lame man dies, I will go up!
I don’t believe it anymore, there are still fortresses that cannot be conquered! "
When Fang Zhenping saw that the group leader was going crazy again, he quickly said:
"Batalion Commander Xiong is already personally leading the charge. His company and platoon commanders have suffered more than one-third casualties. If the fight continues like this, he will become a bare battalion commander."
Upon hearing this, Captain Hu immediately took out the box cannon and roared:
"Then why are you still standing there? Come with me to the first camp and have a look."
The first battalion was his heart and soul, and when he heard that one-third of the company's platoon commanders had suffered casualties, he became anxious and headed straight for the direction of the fiercest gunfire with his gun in hand;
When I think of finding the location of the 1st Battalion, there is no sound. Where the gunshots are the loudest and the fighting is the fiercest, that is the 1st Battalion. Almost all the tough battles in the 214th Regiment are fought by the 1st Battalion.
When Fang Zhenping saw that the regiment leader's old habit of charging was back, he immediately yelled at his two guards, Hu Zhenglin and Yu Zhengxiang:
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and protect the leader!"
Hu Zhenglin was Captain Hu's brother who was brought over from his hometown. He was not the kind who was on the fifth server. The two of them usually had a good relationship. When Fang Zhenping yelled at him, he immediately reacted and rushed out in a hurry.
His brother is good at everything, but he just likes to take the lead in charging. He was like this when he was a company commander, and he was also like this when he was a battalion commander. Now that he is a regiment commander, he is still like this. There is no way to change it, so he, as a brother, can only look after him more.
It's not easy for them to have a regimental leader in the Hu family compound, but they don't dare to have an accident.
Tangshan Road, bullets are flying everywhere, a fierce battle is going on
The fire from the muzzle of the gun lit up the night from time to time, and then the target disappeared into the darkness. The vision at night was very poor, which was very detrimental to the attack, but the 214th Regiment had nothing to do;
Because there are a large number of warships parked on the river, and the barrels of the cannons are as thick as a human waist. Once the cannon is fired, there will be only a few men left in each company. Therefore, we can only use close combat and night combat to get involved with the Japanese, so that the Japanese cannons can be used as a deterrent. Even if you die, you will have to use the Japanese as your backing.
When Captain Hu arrived, his eyes instantly turned red. When the firelight flashed, what struck him was the yellow-green color on the ground, densely packed with brothers from a battalion;
These are his brothers who share life and death. Most of them are Hunan children like him. From the division commander to the regiment commander and then to the officers and soldiers below, most of the 36th Division are Hunan people. They are adapted from the original soldiers of the Hunan Army. of.
Since He Yunqiao was marginalized, the Hunan Army has been completely transformed into a central military force. In addition, more than one-third of the trainees in the first seven phases of Huangpu were from Hunan, which resulted in a large number of grassroots officers being from Hunan;
Except for the eighth and ninth phases, which have relatively fewer students in each phase of Huangpu, Hunan students are the best in all other phases.
In addition, during the Northern Expedition, the Hunan Army's Cheng Songyun, Tan Tingkai, and Tang Mengxiao tribes were all converted into the Central Military Forces (there were eight armies in the Northern Expedition, and the Hunan Army accounted for three). This resulted in more than 30% of the Central Army having Hunan Army ancestry.
Just like the 214th Division, the regimental commander, first battalion commander, and second battalion commander were all from Hunan, and they all came from the same place as Brigadier Chen Da. Even the division commander Song Yinguo was also a follower of Brigadier Chen Da. This is a story later.
The Hunan Army is very domineering and brutal in fighting, and it can be seen in Commander Hu;
As soon as he arrived, he asked the battalion commander where he was. The soldier replied that the battalion commander had already rushed to the front. He immediately raised his pistol and shouted loudly:
"Brothers, fight with the stupid Japanese! Kill them!"
At this time, his two guards had just arrived, and they also launched a charge with the regiment leader;
The Japs' machine guns kept firing condescendingly at the upper floors, but they failed to rush up after several attempts, resulting in heavy casualties.
Captain Hu saw that such a forceful charge would definitely not work, so he immediately changed his tactics and asked some people to use machine guns and P28 submachine gun fire cover to attract the enemy's firepower;
Another group of people quietly used the cover of night to reach upstairs where the Japs lived, and threw grenades into the building from bottom to top, killing the Japs one by one.
The person responsible for fire cover is the most dangerous, so Captain Hu chose fire cover. He picked up a submachine gun from the hands of a fallen soldier and fired a long burst at the enemy's fire point. Soon, a 92 Heavy machine gun fire was drawn;
A demolition team took the opportunity to quietly touch it...
The Japs' heavy machine gunners were also angered. They dared to challenge them with a mere charge. The angry old Japs fired the heavy machine gun in the direction of the fire. His machine gun fire was very tricky;
The long tongue of fire came straight towards him. Hu Zhenglin roared, jumped up with his whole body, and knocked Captain Hu away. Another guard also pounced on Captain Hu...
"Zheng Lin!"
Captain Hu yelled at the top of his lungs.
"boom"
Another ten-year-old grenade fell from a high-rise building and exploded right behind Commander Hu. Commander Hu and two soldiers fell in a pool of blood...
"The leader - you are a little devil, my ancestor!"
The demolition team leader finally seized the opportunity he had gained with the lives of his comrades and threw two long-handled grenades into the Japs' building. Only two explosions were heard, and the Japs' firepower was finally removed.
"Leader——
The regiment leader is not dead, but is injured. Send him to the rear immediately! "
The adjutant had just dug Captain Hu out of the pile of dead people. Unexpectedly, Captain Hu, who was covered in blood and covered with wounds, immediately cursed:
"I'm not dead yet. I can still charge. Why send me to the rear?"
Captain Hu climbed up with difficulty with the help of the adjutant, then shook his head, pushed the adjutant away, and shouted:
"Brothers, the devil's turtle shell has been smashed, avenge the brothers, come on!"
Captain Hu lost too much blood and fell to the ground after a few steps. He got up and continued to lead the charge.
