Chapter 148 Rescue Sun Desheng
Soon, Xu Wen, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and other battalion company commanders arrived. After discussion, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others discussed the action plan as quickly as possible.
The entire regiment took the company and platoon as a unit, launched a counterattack against the enemy in front and broke through from the front.
Xu Wen's artillery company, Sun Desheng's cavalry company, and two companies of the first battalion, all followed Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to operate to protect the safety of the regiment headquarters.
Before breaking through, Xu Wen's artillery company first concentrated its firepower and hit the junction of the Japanese and puppet troops. They were bombarded with great force, causing them to cry and cry for their parents, and they were in chaos.
Then, the cavalry company opened the way and took the lead in launching an attack on the Japanese army. The guard platoon of the regiment headquarters and two companies of the first battalion followed up and formed an assault team to attack fiercely.
However, Xu Wen's artillery company had to provide as much fire support as possible for infantry and cavalry, so the attack order was at the end of the entire regiment.
The commando team led by the cavalry company had already tore through the enemy's blockade line. When the gap was opened, Xu Wencai ordered the artillery to blow up the Type 92 infantry artillery, carrying only mortars and shells to follow the breakout.
There is no way not to blow it up, because they are no longer allowed to dismantle artillery with a caliber of more than 70 mm and take it away.
Also, a Type 92 infantry cannon weighs several hundred kilograms. Even after disassembly, it needs to be transported by pack horses. It is obviously impossible to take it away smoothly with manpower alone.
Forced carrying will only drag down the artillery company, so you can only endure the pain and blow it up.
Seeing that Wei Dayong and the others were reluctant, Xu Wen said without any distress: "Hurry up and blow it up. As long as the troops are there, we will have any guns in the future."
Under Xu Wen's urging, Wei Dayong and the artillery company soldiers blew up the larger artillery artillery, carrying only mortars, and followed the cavalry company and other assault troops to rush out of the gap.
The first, second, third battalions and other troops also took advantage of the chaos to attack the Japanese army and the puppet army blockade line.
Since it was night and the regiment headquarters took the lead in launching an attack, it attracted the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, the assault operations of each battalion went smoothly.
In half an hour, almost all of them broke through successfully.
Of course, the Japanese and puppet troops would not let the Independent Regiment go, and immediately pursued them separately, and contacted other second-line troops to prepare to intercept the various units of the Independent Regiment.
Especially the cavalry corps of Kuroshima Morita, relying on their large population and high cavalry speed, they chased the independent regiment's breakthrough troops.
When the Independent Regiment retreated to the near the second enemy blockade line, Kuroshima Morita led his troops to catch up with the Independent Regiment.
Faced with interception in front and pursuers behind, Li Yunlong could only ask the cavalry company and artillery to stop advancing and turn around to block the Japanese pursuers.
Then, Zhao Gang personally led the main force of the first battalion, the regiment guard platoon and other troops to continue attacking and breaking through.
Faced with the pursuit of thousands of people from the Japanese Cavalry Regiment, the cavalry company with only more than one hundred people, was obviously unable to compete.
At the beginning, relying on the firepower support provided by Xu Wen's cannon company, it could barely block the attack.
However, as the Japanese cavalry began to divide their troops and encircle them, the situation became more and more critical.
Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company who was about to be surrounded by the enemy, was dismounted as an infantryman and cooperated with the artillery company to block the Japanese attack, said to Xu Wen with anxiety: "Company Commander Wang, the enemy cavalry is about to encircle him, and you can't drag it on like this anymore
It's right.
You hurry up and take the brothers of the artillery company to retreat first, and I will lead the cavalry to attack slowly and slow down the enemy's attack!"
Both Xu Wen and Sun Desheng understood that taking the initiative at this time was no different from suicide.
Therefore, Xu Wen still admires Sun Desheng's spirit of warrior who is ready to die.
Therefore, he said: "Company Commander Sun, our artillery company will not leave, stay and fight side by side with you! Break through together!"
Sun Desheng shouted without saying a word and said, "No, the artillery company is the treasure of our entire regiment, so it can't be lost just like that."
Besides, the Japanese are all cavalrymen, and you artillery soldiers fight for bayonets. Wouldn’t you send yourself to the tiger’s mouth?
Stop talking about the others, hurry up and withdraw!”
After saying that, Sun Desheng turned around and shouted in a deep voice to the surrounding cavalry company soldiers: "All cavalry companies are on their horses and ready to attack!"
Soon, more than a hundred soldiers in the cavalry company boarded their horses and rushed forward without fear of death.
Xu Wen had no time to stop him, so he had to order Wei Dayong and others first: "Retreat!"
They took the artillery company and retreated. At this time, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang and others had once again opened a gap in the enemy's blockade line by fighting to the death.
Seeing the cavalry company taking the initiative, the Japanese cavalry regiment surrounded them one after another.
Therefore, Xu Wen and the others were able to successfully escape from the pursuit of the cavalry, followed the regiment headquarters' breakout route, and rushed towards the gap in the second blockade line of the Japanese.
"Old Zhao, you can't leave the cavalry company and artillery company behind, let the platoons resist and take them back!" Li Yunlong personally carried a Czech light machine gun, firing at the Japanese and puppet troops who were swarming over on both sides, while pulling the straits.
He said to Zhao Gang with a voice.
Zhao Gang was unwilling to leave the cavalry company and artillery company, so he and Li Yunlong took some of the soldiers to spread the spot near the breakthrough, blocking the Japanese and puppet troops on both sides respectively.
With the support of the regiment headquarters, Xu Wen and Wei Dayong led the artillery company and rushed out in one go.
Seeing that only Xu Wen rushed out with the artillery company, Li Yunlong immediately asked, "Pillar, where is the cavalry company?"
"In order to cover our retreat, the cavalry company took the initiative to attack the enemy and was surrounded by the Japanese cavalry!" Wei Dayong replied for Xu Wen with a sad look on his face.
"What?" Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this and made a quick decision: "You can't leave the cavalry company and organize troops to fight me back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunlong suddenly felt weak under his feet, and he stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.
At that time, there were bullets on the battlefield. Zhao Gang thought Li Yunlong was injured by the shooting, so he ran over in shock: "Old Li, how are you doing, Lao Li!"
Xu Wen also hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Yunlong, and he knew that Li Yunlong must be sick.
Sure enough, Li Yunlong raised his head and said weakly: "I'm fine, don't be nervous."
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's body carefully and confirmed that he was not injured. Then he felt relieved and said, "Old Li, you are scared to death."
"Do you think I'm shot? The Japanese killed me, Li Yunlong, hasn't built the bullet that Li Yunlong has been built yet." Li Yunlong paused panting and continued: "Old Zhao, you can't leave the cavalry company, you have to organize troops to fight back.
The cavalry company was rescued."
