The Battle of Xiangjiang River (1)

The next morning, Liu Hua was awakened by an explosion. Do n't think about it, Liu Hua knew that the enemy 's shelling had begun. Because of the request of his monitor, he escaped the enemy's shelling.

The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and looking out, the hilltop where the Red Army was located seemed to be plowed again. The Guijun 24th Division was prepared this time. With the generosity of Chiang Kai-shek, he was carrying enough ammunition "medicine", no need to consider frugality at all. The 24th division commander Tan Lianfang lowered the telescope in his hand and said to the Xie Dingxin, the leader of the 7th Army's Independent Regiment, "Brother Xie, it depends on you. Remember, if you encounter a strong counterattack by the Communist Army, you will immediately retreat Before the hard fight, some of our artillery were ammunition. "The 7th Army Independent Regiment was newly adapted by the 19th Army's exiled officers and soldiers. He was afraid that Xie Ding's enthusiasm would make a big loss, So jingle again and again. The leader Xie responded with a "Yes, division!" Because the task of leading the battle was hard to come by himself, naturally he couldn't mess it up, so he decided to go to the battle in person and leave.

After the bombardment stopped, Liu Hua and his comrades quickly rushed out of the gun-proof hole, ran along the traffic trench, and ran toward the position. At this time, the independent army of the Gui Army was preparing to launch an attack at any time. Liu Hua quickly asked his soldiers to take advantage of this time to strengthen a fortification that was bombed by artillery.

Slowly, the Gui Army lined up to the Red Army's position in a dense formation. The number is estimated to have the strength of a battalion. Liu Hua grasped a brand new official rifle tightly and looked down. Unfortunately, the distance was too far.

In this way, 300 meters, 200 meters, and 100 meters, quickly rushed to the front of the Red Eight Company. When the enemy reached 50 meters, he finally heard the command of company commander Wu Xin "hit". Liu Hua gently pulled the trigger and shot a company commander who had been aiming for a long time. He quickly moved the target and hit another machine gunner. At this time it was too late to open the third rush. Hearing: "Throw a grenade!" Grabbed a grenade around him, pulled the fuze, counted three silently, and threw it to the place with the most people. The enemy seemed scared at this time, and quickly retreated. Company commander Wu Xin shouted quickly: "Comrades, rush!" Before he finished, the first rushed down. The soldiers also followed.

At this time, a dangerous consciousness suddenly poured into Liu Hua's heart. He quickly shouted, "Company commander, don't do it! It's a trick, retreat!" But it was too late. Dense mortar shells landed among the charging fighters, abandoning a corpse from time to time. Hong Ba Lian hurried back, but at this time had already sacrificed a dozen comrades, and even the commander Wu Xin was seriously injured.

Liu Hua hugged the wounded company commander and said with tears: "The company commander, hold on, you can be treated immediately, hold on." The company commander smiled, and after a while, opened his mouth and forced Said: "I ... I guess ... I'm going to die ... I ... I ordered ... now appointed ... Liu Hua ... comrade Red Balian ... deputy ... company commander ..." and then fell into a coma fan".

"Company commander, company commander ... wake up soon ..." several cadres next to him hurriedly.

Liu Hua gently handed the company commander to the health officer. He calmly thought about it and ordered: "I now order as the company commander, with all the wounded and sacrificed comrades in a row to the rear. After completing the task, I will act as Lien's reserve team. Two or three rows. Follow me into the position and prepare to meet the enemy. "After that, the first one walked towards the position.

Then, under Liu Hua's organization, a tough fight began.

Watching Hong Ba Lian defeat the enemy's attacks again and again under the leadership of Liu Hua, but his own casualties were few. Nearly 500 enemies had fallen before the position. This is a multi-camp. Play well! Good job, Balian! At the regimental command post, the head of the group, Shen Shuqing, looked clearly in the telescope and could not help yelling. If it weren't for the sound of gunfire, he would have liked to run to eight consecutive positions. With a grenade and a row of bullets, he reimbursed even a few people from the enemy, which he could not do without Liu Hua. If he could not even think about it.
