"Follow me!" Major General Liu Chengyi, the brigade commander, shouted amid the approaching gunfire, and then he rushed out with a pistol in hand.
The brigade commander rushed forward personally, which meant that a hole was "punched" out of their brigade's defense line by the Japanese army.
"How can the brigade commander rush ahead?" Shang Zhen yelled and rushed out.
No matter how fast Shang Zhen was, he pushed Liu Chengyi behind him in just a few steps.
Shang Zhen's words were absolutely accurate. Just after his voice, Wang Laomao was thinking that the ugly daughter-in-law was finally going to meet her parents-in-law, but what he shouted was: "How can I let Lian Chang Chong at the front?"
Old Mao Wang stretched out his old arms and legs and jumped forward.
But this is really the truth. The brigade commander is a commander, and the company commander and deputy company commander are not commanders, right? Even if the soldiers from the original guard company ran slower, it turned out that Shang Zhen's group wanted to listen!
Hula la! Hu Zhuzi, Ma Erhuzi, Qiu Bo, Hou Kanshan and others also accelerated forward.
In this way, they rushed to the front. Although they did not chase Shang Zhen, they blocked brigade commander Liu Chengyi, chief of staff Li Xiang and other brigade officers behind.
As for Mr. Wang, he ran very fast at first, but in just a blink of an eye he was pressed behind by the soldiers.
However, at this time, the full-blooded soldiers naturally rushed forward. Who would notice him, or wouldn't take it seriously if they noticed him? Who told him to call him Old Mao Wang? How old is he?
A war is a war, but Shang Zhen doesn't think about anything now. He will rush to the battlefield first, even though he had thought about it a lot before.
Originally, the guard company was fully staffed, but with the return of Shang Zhen and the others, their guard company already had 1,560 people, and the momentum was astonishing when they rushed forward.
At this time, some soldiers were retreating from the front position, but they were stunned when they saw their momentum, and they looked behind Shang Zhen and the others. When they saw the brigade commander Liu Chengyi rushing up in person, they looked at each other.
Although the brigade commander Liu Chengyi also held a luzi in his hand, he did not supervise the team like other commanders, saying that any soldier who dared to retreat would be killed.
When the soldiers who came back saw this situation, the wounded were just fine, but the uninjured ones turned around and ran back again!
"Holy shit!" Ma Erhuzi, who was running in front, was out of breath when he saw this situation, but he was also happy.
"What do you enjoy?" Hu Zhuzi, who was running with Ma Erhuzi, asked.
"It's really your brother!" Ma Erhuzi laughed and ran away.
Hu Zhuzi didn't understand and didn't ask any more questions.
What is Ma Erhuzi laughing at? But he was laughing at the soldiers who also turned around and ran back to join the battle again.
I think back then, Hu Zhuzi also saw Shang Zhen and the others charging. He was not part of Shang Zhen's group, so he rushed out too. As a result, by some mistake, Hu Zhuzi followed Shang Zhen and the others and rushed out, but his company did not. .
These soldiers who turned around and ran back looked so much like Hu Zhuzi back then, so Ma Erhuzi laughed. Those soldiers were Hu Zhuzi's biological brothers.
But now that everyone is rushing to the position desperately, how can he have time to explain it in detail to Hu Zhuzhu?
The position where the guard company was going to reinforce soon arrived.
The position was set up on a hill 50 to 60 meters high. On the top of the hill, several soldiers of the 337th Brigade were shooting forward from behind the ridge.
But there were more soldiers lying down behind the ridge of the hill. Needless to say, they were all dead.
At the same time, Shang Zhen also saw a Maxim heavy machine gun on the top of the mountain, but the barrel had been pushed forward. It seemed that it had been damaged by Japanese artillery fire.
Seeing that the position is still in his own hands, Shang Zhen feels a little relieved. It is better to still have the position in his own hands than to counterattack and attack upward, right?
Surrounded by low hills and hills, this mountain is the highest and has the steepest terrain.
There is a large part of the hillside with an angle of about 50 degrees. Of course, the hillside is not exactly steep. The mountain is still complex after all.
However, because this mountain is relatively high, it stands out among the surrounding low hills and hills.
This is undoubtedly the commanding heights of the surrounding area, and it can also be said to be an important support point for the 337 Brigade's defense line.
However, looking at the corpses of Chinese soldiers lying on top of each other on the mountain, Shang Zhen knew that this place must have been "taken care of" by the Japanese army.
Perhaps in the eyes of the defending Northeastern officers and soldiers, the terrain here is condescending and suitable for holding on, but in the eyes of the Japanese army, it is not too difficult for them to capture this place.
That's because although this mountain is high, its area is very limited. And precisely because the mountain is relatively steep, the area on the top of the mountain is not large.
If the area on the top of the mountain was very large, how could Shang Zhen see his own soldiers lying behind the ridgeline of the mountain just before reaching the foot of the mountain?
Therefore, most of the soldiers killed on the mountain were probably caused by Japanese shelling.
Now that this idea came up, Shang Zhen, who had already started climbing the mountain, shouted: "Don't go up the mountain! One platoon will guard the left mountainside, the second platoon will guard the right mountainside, the third platoon will be a reserve at the foot of the mountain, and the fourth platoon will follow me up the mountain!" "
With Shang Zhen's order, the people in their security company naturally had to obey the order and split up, but the regiment leader Liu Chengyi, who was following behind, was stunned!
He knew Shang Zhen very well. In his opinion, Shang Zhen was already an old man. With Shang Zhen's quality, he was completely qualified to be a company commander.
As the Northeast Army fights year by year after entering the customs, there will be fewer and fewer veterans, and the same is true for grassroots officers, so this is how Shang Zhen became the commander of the guard company.
However, the 337th Brigade's combat mission came in a hurry. Liu Chengyi made Shang Zhen the guard company commander and ignored him.
Little did he know that after Shang Zhen became the commander of the security company, he did not change the original structure of the security company at all.
It turns out that the guard company has three platoons, but Shang Zhen considered that his group had not fought with a large army for a long time and had its own combat characteristics and habits, so he simply made himself a fourth platoon. , more than thirty people are enough.
However, only now did the brigade commander Liu Chengyi know that his guard company actually had four platoons!
But if that's the case, that's it.
Liu Chengyi was anxious when he heard the previous report that the position here was going to be lost.
This hill is an important support point for their 337th brigade's defense line. If this position is lost, the Japanese army will put light and heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain and shoot down from a high position, which will open a big hole in their brigade's defense line.
That's why he was so anxious that he personally led the troops into battle, but he never expected that Shang Zhen didn't care that he, the major general brigade commander, was behind him. Instead, he directly issued the order. Went up the mountain and divided our troops!
"What a boy, you actually commanded the brigade commander!" Li Xiang, the brigade chief of staff who also followed Shang Zhen's order and followed Liu Chengyi, said breathlessly.
Li Xiang has been serving as Liu Chengyi's chief of staff. Naturally, he also knows Shang Zhen, so he said this.
Just when Li Xiang finished speaking, Shang Zhen in front gave another order: "Da Laobeng, Gu Man, you two protect the brigade commander and chief of staff for me. If anything happens to the two officers, I will kill them." I’m here to kill you! Act as ordered! Quick!”
As a part-time worker, there is an important inspection on it in the past few days, and the update has been slow. The inspection will be completed today, and it will be fine in the future.
