Base System of Bashu Heroes

Chapter 63: Taking Risks by Your Own

While Liu Tianchu was still galloping towards the 793rd Regiment, the 793rd Regiment had already exchanged fire with the Dofeihara Division. Fan Jun, the regiment leader, thought it was a Japanese sniper unit at first, but the more the fight went on, the more something went wrong. As intelligence on the battle situation continued to come in, various forces

The reports from the battalion were that the Japanese troops were attacking more and more, and they were gathering towards the 793rd Regiment's position from all directions.

Because they suddenly encountered the Japanese army during the march, the Sichuan army opened fire with the Japanese army before they could build fortifications. Fan Jun had a premonition that the situation was not good, and ordered the soldiers to set up their headquarters in Xiatang Town and come to the position to observe it in person.

The situation was worse than I thought. There was a Japanese brigade in the front position, and rows of machine gun fortresses blocked the path forward. On the flanks, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles were speeding near Xiatang Town in the rising dust.

How could this happen? Fan Jun was a little confused. Just when he was about to give the order to break out, the communications corps sent a telegram from the division headquarters. Fan Jun took the telegram and read it carefully. The telegram instructed: The 793rd Regiment held its ground and contained the main force of the Dofeihara Division.

Commander Liu Tianchu has already moved closer to your department, so send someone quickly to respond.

How is this possible for a regiment to contain nearly ten thousand people from the main force of the 14th Division? Fan Jun opened his mouth. What is even more unbelievable is that the commander Liu Tianchu actually defended the Jinshui River with him. This is too crazy.

Before Fan Jun had time to respond, Liu Tianchu had already entered Xiatang Town while the Japanese army had not yet completed the siege of the 793rd Regiment. The guards at the headquarters did not recognize Liu Tianchu, and he did not have a military rank. The guards refused to let him go.

Liu Tianchu was from the 793rd Regiment, and the soldiers in the old army didn't even recognize the former battalion commander and company commander. Chu Tianbang was furious.

In fact, it’s no wonder that the soldiers were there. The 793rd Regiment went all the way from Chenjiaxing to Nanjing and then to the east of Henan Province. The soldiers were replaced several times. The original 793rd Regiment had less than two battalions of veterans. Everyone had only heard the names of Liu Tianchu and Chu Tianbang.

But no one had seen them, and they didn't have military ranks, so they didn't let them go. When Chu Tianbang was arguing with the soldiers, Fan Jun returned to the headquarters and welcomed Liu Tianchu in. Only then did Tianbang's anger disappear.

When Liu Tianchu was the commander of the third battalion of the 793rd Regiment, Fan Jun was the commander of the first battalion, and the two were very familiar with each other. After Liu Tianchu and others entered the headquarters, Fan Jun apologized repeatedly, and Liu Tianchu waved his hand to indicate that he was not polite.

He walked to the map, pointed at it and said: "The 794th and 795th regiments of Liu Ling's troops are approaching your troops in Banqiao Town. You quickly send people to respond, and at the same time, advance the troops to Lutan and Dali Village, and

, move the headquarters forward to Fugou County, the three locations are the horns of each other, two days and forty-eight hours, we must persist no matter what." After assigning the task, Liu Tianchu looked at Fan Jun's reaction.

Fan Jun, who has always been the main force of the 133rd Division, did not have any overreaction. He remained calm-faced and admired Liu Tianchu's deployment. "No wonder you became the commander of the army in such a short period of time, and I am still the regimental commander. I am convinced.

"

The old friends fought side by side again. Both of them were very excited. Liu Tianchu punched him. "Go and arrange it. Please say some polite words and talk later. Time is urgent and there is no need to delay."

Fan Jun smiled at him, nodded, and then went out to deploy the 794th Regiment to meet Wang Wenshuo.

At this time, Wang Wenshuo's regiment and the 795th regiment had met in Banqiao Town. After counting their casualties, they quickly moved closer to Lu Tan and Dali Village before the Japanese army completely surrounded Fan's regiment.

As the sun set in the west, the sky gradually became dark, and the drizzle still continued. Wang Wenshuo led two regiments to march quickly in the drizzle at night. Banqiao was hundreds of miles away from Fugou, and he had to get there before dawn.

After arriving at Fugou, it was more difficult to break through the Japanese positions after dawn. Wang Wenshuo marched overnight to reach Lutan. Before the troops had time to rest, Wang Wenshuo led his first battalion to launch an attack on the Japanese troops outside Lutan.

Stars were appearing and disappearing in the night, and the light rain was still falling. The soldiers were all soaked to the skin, many of them had lost their straw sandals, and most of them were barefoot. Maybe God is not happy with these people who are fighting in the east of Henan.

The solitary army also felt pity. The continuous heavy rain in the past few days provided good cover for the lightly-armed Sichuan army, and the Japanese army's mobility was basically paralyzed...

On the opposite side of the Japanese position, the Japanese soldiers covered the unfinished trenches with some straw or raincoats to avoid the rain or took a nap. Wang Wenshuo led a battalion into the Japanese position. Only when the sleepy Japanese soldiers realized what they were doing was that there was a loud sound of gunfire.

The two armies fought in close quarters, and the battle instantly became intense. The gray rifle butt was raised, and the brown rifle butt fell. Screams and groans could be heard endlessly. After seeing several Japanese soldiers knocked down, Gao Shan, the commander of the first battalion, looked back.

Commander Wang Wenshuo commanded the follow-up troops who were already on the charge, and he grinned happily.

A Japanese soldier was holding a bayonet and was preparing for a sneak attack. The bayonet and his body collided with him. Gao Shan swung his sword and knocked out the bayonet. He slashed the Japanese soldier's shoulder diagonally with his backhand. The Japanese soldier couldn't dodge and the whole man was split in half.

Blood splashed all over Gao Shan.

He wiped his face, and the guard beside him said loudly: "Batalion Commander, the situation is not good, the little devils are killing more and more?"

Gao Shan looked around and saw the howling Japanese troops all over the mountains and plains gathering towards Lu Tan's position. He also felt that something was wrong. Looking at the rear, he saw that the follow-up troops had been intercepted by the Japanese troops. It seemed that the Japanese troops had been prepared for a long time, otherwise they could not have assembled a counterattack so quickly.

Almost all the Japanese troops on the position had been knocked down. Gao Shan grabbed the general machine gun from behind and shouted: "Follow me in the first company, rush down, and meet the regiment leader." The soldiers of the first company quickly gathered, and Gao Shan took the lead in rushing down the position, with the general machine gun running beside him.

While spitting tongues of fire, the Japanese troops surrounding the Sichuan army kept falling under his gun.

The 133rd Division is the main division, and the 793rd is the main regiment. The new equipment has been replaced in Nanjing. Several general-purpose machine guns and hundreds of 37 semi-automatic rifles opened fire at the same time. The hot bullets instantly made a path among the Japanese troops.

, the Japanese army could not retreat to the two wings. Taking this opportunity, Wang Wenshuo led the entire regiment through the outskirts of Lutan and moved towards the center of Lutan town.

Knowing that Wang Wenshuo had broken into Lutan, Liu Tianchu then ordered Fan Jun's supporting troops to lead Wang Wenshuo's troops to quickly move closer to Dali Village. Before the Japanese army arrived at Dali Village, he quickly occupied Dali Village and formed a corner with Lu Tan and Fugou.

Relying on the Jinshui River, the Jedi defended it.

Doihara Kenji, who set up his headquarters in Liling County, learned that Liu Tianchu had led three regiments to establish defensive positions in Fugou. Doihara smiled from the bottom of his heart. The brigade commander Kurabayashi Kohito looked at him in confusion: "Your Excellency, General

, why are you laughing?”

Doihara was very proud, took a few puffs on his pipe and said: "Liu Tianchu is too young. He thought he had met a real opponent, but it turned out that he was a common man with no ambitions. After seeing through that my intention was not in Zhengzhou, he went to Fugou to die on his own.

Such a general is as good as Tang Enbo."

Cang Lin also smiled and said: "Perhaps he intends to contain and mobilize troops to encircle? Liu Ling's troops can reach Fugou in two days, and the situation may change."

Doihara knocked the ash from his pipe into the ground, and chuckled disdainfully: "The question is, should I give him two days? Order the heavy artillery brigade to bombard the Sichuan Army Fugou and Lu Tan at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning with all their strength.

After the artillery attack on the Dali Zhuang position, attack from all fronts and eliminate Liu Tianchu in one fell swoop."

"Yes!" The combat staff officer next to him stood up, saluted, and turned away.

At this time, on the Houmiao Highway less than 100 kilometers away from Lanfeng, the continuous heavy rains seriously affected the marching speed of the Sakai Detachment. As they retreated from Mengjiagu to Houmiao, they were ambushed and harassed by Feng Huaizhu's troops along the way. At this time, the Saijing Detachment

Already exhausted.

Takashi Sakai, who was already drunk in the armored vehicle, asked his subordinates in a broken voice: "Where is the front? How far is it from Lan Feng?"

The subordinate immediately replied: "Report to the general, there is a small village ahead, and its name is Jiudaikeng."

The place names in China are really strange, but Takashi Sakai was not in the mood to study them and fell into a deep sleep in the armored vehicle.
