The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 226 Wake up and fight

ps: The previous chapter is in. The main content is that the protagonist led a beheading team to successfully kill King Asaka Palace Jiuhiko, and took the head of King Asaka Palace Jiuhiko, grabbed two trucks, and broke out backwards. I'll see if I can release it tomorrow.

In a trance and darkness, He Wei only felt dizzy and had a splitting headache, as if there were countless steel needles stirring in his head.

Suddenly, He Wei felt his heart beating violently again, and it seemed as if someone was constantly shaking him, making his heart seem to jump out of his chest immediately. Then, a sudden feeling of weightlessness made He Wei instantly feel like he was falling. Into the abyss.

"what."

He Wei yelled and opened his eyes suddenly. What he saw was the snow-white ceiling and white chandelier.

"Batalion Commander, the battalion commander is awake."

At this time, the messenger Tao Heiwa happily shouted beside He Wei, which startled He Wei. He Wei opened his red eyes and looked at Tao Heiwa in front of him.

Because his brain was in a down state, he didn't recognize who the person in front of him was for a long time. Then, He Wei turned his head and looked around, only to realize that he was surrounded by the main officers of the secret service battalion.

Fu Chen, Fang Jing, Hu Zhaowu, Yang Biao, Sun Xisheng and others were all there, and Zhao Huzhen, commander of the tank company of the armored corps assigned to him, was also among them. In addition to these officers who had been following him, He Wei also saw several commanders. His surprised face.

The most eye-catching one is a groveling guy wearing a Japanese military uniform.

Needless to say, it was Kanjiro Nishi who surrendered to him. This guy was still wearing the Japanese military uniform from the night of the beheading operation, which was stained with gunpowder smoke and blood. Kanjiro Nishi still had one arm hanging, and his face was covered with blood. Bruises and scars were nodding and bowing to He Wei.

Next to Kanjiro Nishi, He Wei also saw Li Youcai, the quartermaster of the Secret Service Battalion whom he had not seen for a long time, and Warrant Officer Ge Guicai, the old squad leader who had followed him since the battle at Xinkou and was now the platoon leader of the Special Service Battalion's baggage platoon.

These two men were transferred by He Wei before the war and sent to perform a secret mission. Naturally, this secret mission was to loot the gold and silver treasures in the mansion of the future traitor Wang Zhaoming.

After He Wei recognized the two men, he became suspicious. He thought that these two men were clearly sent by him to carry out the robbery, so why were they here?

Among the ranks of soldiers fighting, there were several doctors and nurses in white coats. These doctors and nurses were all male nurses and doctors. They wore gray military uniforms inside and white coats and health work clothes outside. They were obviously military doctors and troops. There were nursing soldiers inside, and He Wei deduced from the surrounding environment that he should be in the hospital.

"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander, how are you?"

"Batalion Commander, are you okay?"

"He is the commander of the battalion, he is the commander of the battalion."

Everyone gathered around and greeted He Wei who had just woken up in the hospital bed.

While He Wei was stunned, a doctor stepped forward, put on gloves and touched He Wei's shoulder. He Wei felt a slight pain. When he looked over, he realized that his body had been wrapped in a lot of gauze.

Four or five layers of gauze were wrapped around his right shoulder, left arm and neck. He Wei still couldn't figure out the situation and could only let the doctor do what he did to him.

The doctor checked several wounds on He Wei's body, then personally removed the gauze and changed the dressing. Then he took a long breath, turned around and said to the main officers of the secret service camp: "It's okay. It’s nothing serious, just take care of it.”

Fu Chen said eagerly: "Doctor, is our battalion commander really okay?"

The doctor waved his hand: "It's nothing to begin with. The bullets that hit the right shoulder and left arm all penetrated, leaving a small hole and then flew out. The one on the neck is just a scratch. Don't worry, it's nothing."

The doctor calmed down many officers in the secret service camp and gave some instructions to the nursing staff before leaving the ward. Tao Heiwa poured a bucket of warm water and handed it to He Wei. He Wei took it and drank it like a cow drinking. After drinking it, he immediately sat on the hospital bed in a daze, recalling what happened on the night of the beheading operation.

The beheading operation that day could be said to be very smooth, far smoother than I imagined, at least in the first half. However, the second half of the breakout with the head of King Asaka Palace Kituhiko was far from satisfactory. smoothly.

He Wei only remembered that he led the beheading team to grab two trucks. He drove one, and the Japanese-speaking staff officer Huang of the 51st Division drove the other. These two trucks were pulling the brothers from the beheading team. I drove back along the road at full speed to break out.

However, the way to break out of the encirclement did not seem to go smoothly. He Wei vaguely remembered that on the way back to break out of the encirclement, the Japanese troops along the way launched blockades and attacks like crazy. The battle could be said to be quite fierce.

But he really couldn't remember the specific details, the entire battle process, or even how he came to this hospital and why he was lying on the hospital bed. He could only ask many officers in the secret service camp.

It wasn't until He Wei was in bed listening to a group of officers from the secret service battalion explain the entire battle that night that he finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that after the retreat and breakout began that day, He Wei drove a truck to open the road in front, and the truck behind was driven by Staff Officer Huang at a high speed. He Wei drove the truck and stepped on the accelerator so much that his foot almost stepped into the fuel tank. In order to retreat as quickly as possible before the Japanese army could react.

But the Japanese army's reaction speed was much faster than He Wei thought.

Although the group of people at the 18th Brigade Headquarters were beaten into three grandsons in the battle with the beheading squad, they also passed the news to the 10th Brigade that King Asaka Palace Jiuyan was killed in a surprise attack by the Chinese army. The 36th Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment under the Eighth Brigade. As a result, He Wei and others were chased and intercepted by the Japanese army on the highway before they drove far.

After learning that King Asaka Palace Jiuyan was killed in a surprise attack by the Chinese army, the 36th Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment even gave up fighting the 51st Division, which was being harassed by a frontal feint attack, and all withdrew from the main frontal positions. They came down and moved closer to the highway to block and attack.

Facing the Japanese troops who were rushing towards them like crazy, He Wei rushed all the way in front and desperately broke through several cordons of the Japanese troops. But when the main force of the Japanese army came closer, the situation completely changed. The Japanese army who blocked the interception directly set up light and heavy machine guns on the road and opened fire. As soon as possible, He Wei accelerated the assault. The officers and soldiers of the decapitation team also opened fire fiercely on the car. He resisted, but the beheading team was riding a truck after all, not an armored vehicle. He Wei, who rushed at the front, was quickly injured.

The dense rain of bullets from the Japanese army shattered the windshield of the truck. He Wei, who was sitting in the driving position, did not dodge quickly and was shot three times in a row. The crazy Japanese army even fired directly at the truck with a grenade.

A 50mm grenade landed in front of the truck driven by He Wei and exploded. Although it did not hit directly, the flying shrapnel also destroyed the engine and tires of the truck. He Wei was lucky and was not killed, but he was not killed. He suffered a gunshot wound, but the grenade blast also knocked He Wei unconscious.

Just like that, before the halfway point of the return trip, the decapitation team was forced to abandon the truck, got out of the truck and started a fierce melee with the Japanese army. Yang Biao, the spy platoon leader, was carrying He Wei on his back and led his brothers from the decapitation team on the side of the road. In the wilderness on the other side, while fighting with the Japanese troops that were constantly encircling them, they struggled to break through.

The battle was very fierce. The Japanese army was outnumbered, but the melee firepower advantage of the decapitation team was far superior to that of the Japanese army. They relied on fancy machine guns and speed machines to clear the way. In addition, they were all veterans for many years, so their combat quality was not much worse than that of the Japanese army.

The Beheading Team charged in bloody battles and broke through multiple lines of defense of the Japanese army in one fell swoop. However, their numbers were limited after all. After breaking through the multiple lines of defense of the Japanese Army, nearly half of the brothers in the Beheading Team were also killed or injured.

And I heard from Yang Biao that at the critical moment, Staff Officer Huang, Kanjiro Nishi and those Japanese prisoners actually played a big role. Kanjiro Nishi and the Japanese prisoners were the ones who killed Queen Asaka Palace Hatohiko in the beheading team for fear of the beheading team. Being wiped out by the Japanese army, they were even more afraid of being captured by the Japanese army.

Therefore, in order to survive, these Japanese prisoners burst out with incomparable enthusiasm and courage. Under the leadership of Staff Officer Huang, they used Japanese to communicate and chat with the attacking Japanese troops, and they used the chaos in the dark night to let the attacking Japanese troops escape. They mistakenly thought that the beheading team was one of their own, and the beheading team itself was wearing Japanese military uniforms, so there was no way to distinguish them carefully in the dark.

Then, the beheading team took advantage of the Japanese army's confusion and suddenly launched a fierce attack, thus breaking through the Japanese army's blockage in one fell swoop.

Relying on several Japanese prisoners such as Nishi Kanjiro, the beheading team achieved breakthroughs one after another using this method.

This melee at night can be said to have affected the whole body. The beheading team wanted to break out desperately, and the Japanese troops who came to surround the beheading team also tried their best to snatch the head of King Asaka Palace Jiuhiko. As a result, the Japanese infantry The rear of the 36th Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment were beaten into a pot of porridge, with gunfire and Japanese troops rushing everywhere.

The chaos on the battlefield even made the 51st Division feel that something was wrong. The regiments of the 51st Division, which had been under heavy firepower from the Japanese during the feint attack, gradually discovered that the Japanese firepower in front of them had dropped sharply. After the front lines discovered that something was wrong, they again This strange situation was reported to Wang Yaowu, commander of the 51st Division.

After Wang Yaowu compiled the reports reported by the regiments of the 51st Division, he immediately guessed that He Wei and his beheading team might have succeeded, so he reported the situation to Fu Chen, who was temporarily in charge of commanding the main force of the special agent battalion.

After Fu Chen learned of this situation, he felt that the situation was not good at the time, and speculated that the Japanese army was most likely mobilizing troops to deal with the beheading squad that was deep behind enemy lines. The beheading squad might be suffering from extremely violent attacks and bearing great risks.

In desperation, Fu Chen decided not to wait for the signal agreed upon by He Wei, nor for the signal flare, and decisively commanded the main force of the special agent battalion to deploy on both sides of the road under the cover of a tank company of seventeen tanks, and along the They launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army along the highway, preparing to take the initiative to attack the beheading team.

After learning that the main force of the secret service battalion had launched an attack, Wang Yaowu, a fierce general, also adjusted the tactics of the 51st Division in a timely manner.

Originally, the four infantry regiments of the 51st Division only launched harassing attacks against the 36th Infantry Regiment and the 19th Infantry Regiment under the cover of artillery, but now the rears of these two regiments have been occupied. The beheading team was in a mess, and many of the troops in the frontal position were also moved to the rear to besiege the beheading team. This also meant that the frontal Japanese troops and firepower were greatly weakened.

Based on this situation, Wang Yaowu simply ordered the four infantry regiments of the 51st Division to change the harassment attack into a real storm!

At this point, the attack started by a few dozen members of the beheading squad and evolved into a large-scale melee involving two infantry regiments of the 18th Infantry Brigade and four infantry regiments of the 51st Division.

When the officers and soldiers of the special agent battalion learned that the battalion commander He Wei and dozens of brothers from the beheading team were in danger behind enemy lines and were being besieged by several times or even dozens of times the number of Japanese troops, they all burst out with incomparable fighting enthusiasm. Under the cover of the tanks, the entire battalion launched an attack on the front of the Japanese army along the road at all costs.

The four infantry regiments of the 51st Division in the forward position also launched a swift assault, launching a serious field attack charge on the main position of the 18th Brigade. The 36th Infantry Regiment and the 36th Infantry Regiment were caught off guard. The 19th Regiment was unable to resist for a while, and many positions were broken through by the 51st Division.

Under this situation, the Japanese 18th Brigade was almost attacked from both sides. It was attacked by the Chinese army from the front and rear at the same time. The 51st Division and the Special Agent Battalion were fiercely attacking the front, and the beheading squad was attacked from the rear. It made the situation extremely chaotic and restless.

In the end, this melee lasted almost all night. After both sides suffered heavy casualties, the beheading team with only 24 people left finally broke through multiple layers of obstructions and joined the main force of the attacking spy battalion. Under the cover of the main force of the battalion, they rushed out, successfully broke through, and escaped from the dangerous situation.

"So that's it."

After learning about the battle that night, He Wei leaned on the hospital bed and let out a long breath.

It seems that this kind of primitive special raid operation that is too advanced is really easy to get away with. Listening to the battle situation described by Fu Chen and the others, He Wei is actually still a little scared. He almost lost his life, and this Chaoxiang King Gong Jiuyan's head is really not that easy to get.

"Battal Commander, you scared us to death that night. You were shot several times, and you got out of the car and were knocked unconscious by a Japanese grenade. Fortunately, it was General Xiao from the Military Police Headquarters. Otherwise, our companies I don’t even know where to send him to the hospital.”

Fu Chen said.

"Oh? What's going on?"

He Wei asked.

Fu Chen said: "After we brought you back that day, you have been in a coma and can't be woken up no matter how you scream. We have no choice but to find people from the 51st Division to see if their field hospital can help with treatment." , but when I went to take a look, I found out that the 51st Division’s bullshit field hospital is just a health team. It can only treat some lightly wounded people, there is no operation at all, and there is no good medicine.”

"There was no other way. In the end, the brothers discussed together and thought that General Xiao from the Military Police Headquarters would be very helpful to our battalion, so he asked the communications platoon leader Sun to contact the Military Police Headquarters. After General Xiao knew that you were injured, he immediately called We asked our battalion to withdraw into the city, and sent the gendarmerie to take you to the gendarmerie hospital in the city, and then we treated your injuries. You slept for four days, which scared us to death."

He Wei couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He didn't expect that it would be four days after he woke up. So how did the situation of the Jinling Defense Battle change in these four days?
