Chapter 58 Battle of Changde (5)

In the evening, Xue Yue led his troops to camp on the road 60 miles away from Taoyuan. Thinking about the speed of today's march, Xue Yue couldn't help but use thunderous tactics. He was blocked by the Communist army 4 times in one day. Not only did he not eliminate the Communist army, but his own troops also

I lost a regiment of troops. Although for me, a regiment is not too much, but I only marched 60 miles in one day. How can I not be angry? If we keep going like this, how many days will it take to reach Changde?

At the same time, the political commissar was also counting the results of today's battle. Although there were no captures, after a day of fighting, one of his divisions only lost more than a dozen people, but it caused the loss of nearly half of the enemy's regiment. You know, the Seventh Army's

There is plenty of ammunition, so I won't have to worry about fighting for another week.

Returning to the battle of Changde, the remaining 300 men of the first battalion had all climbed onto the city wall and were attacking from both sides to widen the gap.

"Captain, it's not good, the Communist army has attacked the city wall, and all my company brothers have been killed." A company commander who was left behind ran over and cried.

"Damn it, why are you crying? We will all lose our heads if we lose our position. Brothers, all rush up with me and drive me down, otherwise we will all die. Brothers, rush." ​​The regiment leader shouted loudly,

The first one stood up.

"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, a regiment of enemies rushed from the city and are almost on the city wall." The correspondent ran over.

"First Company, Second Company, follow me and block the enemy. Third Company will continue to expand the gap and ask the Second and Third Battalions to come up immediately for reinforcements." The battalion commander was the first to rush down the city wall with a submachine gun. No. 200 people from the two companies followed.

He rushed forward to fight.

Battalion Commander Liu rushed to the street with his troops and built a simple blocking position with a few sandbags on the roadside. Looking at the swarming enemy troops, not a single soldier flinched in the face of the heavy rain of bullets.

"Fight." 200 rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns opened fire at once, instantly sweeping away the enemy 200 meters away. "Get down." The enemy commander was the first to lie down on the ground, set up a light machine gun, and began to fire.

As the two parties continued to shoot at each other, the casualties of the first battalion began to increase. Soldiers continued to fall, and the soldiers behind them immediately came up. This way, the firepower of the first battalion never weakened.

Of course, the enemy's casualties were greater. After all, the first battalion had built a simple position, and all the soldiers of the enemy regiment were lying on the ground. "Quick, go to the division commander for help. He said that the Communist army has entered the city and we are blocking it."

, send reinforcements immediately." The regiment leader pulled up a staff officer next to him and shouted.

"Division Commander, the First Regiment reported that the Communist Army has entered the city from the south gate. The First Regiment is blocking the street and asking for reinforcements." The Chief of Staff said breathlessly.

"What, so fast, I want to shoot the first regiment commander, Chief of Staff, how many reserves do we have now?" The division commander was sweating profusely.

"Division Commander, we have reserve teams of the guard battalion, the sixth regiment, and the supply battalion and two artillery companies," the chief of staff said quickly.

"Order the transport camp, one battalion of the Sixth Regiment, and two artillery companies to reinforce the First Regiment. We must wipe out all the communist troops entering the city. Go quickly." The division commander was so tired that he sat on a stool and closed his eyes.

"First Battalion Commander, what's going on now?" The First Battalion Commander who caught up with the Second Battalion asked when he saw the First Battalion Commander whose face was filled with gunpowder smoke.

"Captain, the enemy is resisting fiercely. More than half of my first battalion has suffered casualties. Now the first battalion is confronting the enemy regiment, with heavy casualties." The first battalion commander shouted loudly, and you could clearly see the tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Second Battalion, go and replace the first battalion. Commander of the third battalion, take your third battalion and open the city gate for me." Looking at the tired eyes of the first battalion commander, the regimental commander shouted loudly.

At this time, an enemy regiment was also in danger, and one battalion already suffered casualties. "Order the second battalion to build a blocking position 200 meters behind us. Quick, the rest of the people continue to follow me to block the enemy. We will hold on for ten minutes."

." The leader immediately ordered.

With the arrival of reinforcements from the Second Battalion, they also brought two heavy machine guns from the enemy's defense force. The firepower of the Seventh Army was immediately strengthened unprecedentedly, and the firepower of the remaining two battalions of the enemy was immediately suppressed.

Come down. "Captain, the blocking position has been constructed. Retreat quickly. The Communist firepower is too strong." The second battalion commander ran over and shouted loudly at the enemy commander.

"The troops retreat, retreat to the back of the blocking position," the regiment leader shouted loudly.

Looking at the enemy troops who wanted to retreat, the first regiment commander immediately realized that the enemy troops were about to run away. "Comrades, rush. The enemy troops are about to run away." The soldiers of the two battalions suddenly became more morale-boosted. They raised their firearms and shouted while

Shoot and pursue.

Suddenly, a line of defense made of sandbags appeared in front of him, and two tongues of fire shot toward him. "Get down, retreat, all retreat." A regiment leader shouted loudly, but it was still too late. He waited until he retreated to the previous position.

, looking around, there were countless corpses of our own people lying on the road 200 meters away. After counting, 85 people were killed.

"Order the troops to build a defense line on the spot and not charge." After the commander said the order, he ran towards the city gate that had just been opened.

"Report to the commander of the regiment. The commander of the first regiment reported that it seems that the army was blocked." The staff officer next to him said softly.

Liu Hua listened carefully to the report of the First Regiment Commander, "Regiment Commander, you punish me. It was my carelessness that caused such great losses to the army. Please punish me." The First Regiment Commander lowered his head.

"Commander Wang, record the order: The second regiment will enter the city immediately. The first regiment will be replaced and rest. After the second regiment enters the city, it will continue to consolidate its position to prevent the enemy from attacking at night. The first regiment will withdraw from the county town to rest and recuperate. Send a message to Division Commander Sun Xingbang and Division Commander Wang Nanhu.

Report, let them increase the intensity of the siege, attract the enemy's attention, rest tonight, and continue the attack tomorrow. Order the artillery battalion to transport the mountain artillery battery into the city to assist in the attack. Send the order!"

"Yes, legion commander." The staff officer saluted with a military salute and walked out.

"Captain Li, don't be discouraged. Today is not your fault. If it were me, I would order the troops to attack and go back! The regiment suffered too many casualties today. We must take a good rest after withdrawing from the city. I will return tomorrow."

Do you have the confidence to continue to be the main attacker with your regiment?" Liu Hua looked at Commander Wang, who had his head lowered.

"Report to the commander of the regiment, the regiment is determined to complete the mission."

"Okay, let's go back and have a good rest." After speaking, Liu Hua looked at the map in front of him.

"Division commander, the Communist army has stopped attacking. The commander of the first regiment and the remaining people have built a blocking position at the street entrance and are confronting the Communist army." The chief of staff said with a sigh of relief.

"That's good. Tell the commander of the first regiment that the position must be defended. Let the sixth regiment build a few more blocking positions behind the regiment. Also, send a report to the commander-in-chief for more urging." After that, he closed his mouth.

eyes, enjoying a moment of tranquility.
