Chapter Seventy-Three: The Bloody Battle in the Southern Suburbs
The battle to counterattack Nanchang began in the early morning of April 28.
Zhang Fugui's 79th Division served as the main attack, and due to the Japanese army's light enemy, the 79th Division pressed all the way, and only less than one kilometer reached the city of Nanchang. It's a pity that Gangcun Ningci, an old devil, reacted quickly and sent the 101st Division as a counteroffensive force to block the 79th Division.
"Commander, let the brothers withdraw, it's really unbearable. Our regiment has been crippled. We have less than 30 people left. A soldier covered in blood rushed to the commander of the first regiment of the 79th Division, Xie Ming, and shouted.
Xie Ming clenched his teeth tightly, his eyes were red, he looked at the soldier fiercely, and a few words burst out from the corner of his mouth, "Can't be withdrawn"
Xie Ming looked at the improvised defensive line. and the soldiers lying on the defensive line, Tiger Eyes couldn't help but tears.
These people who died on the battlefield were his brothers in life and death. In the early morning, they secretly attacked Nanchang City, at first a qiēshun lì, but later, the 101st Division recaptured part of the position, and now the two sides are fighting a positional blocking battle. Our army is not at all superior. The Japanese artillery fire was very fierce, almost completely covering their own positions, and there were only three cannons in one regiment, and now two of them have been blown up by the devils, and the last one is hiding in the woods. Waiting to deal a fatal blow to the devil.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that the devils had already broken through to their third line of defense as soon as it was dawn. If you retreat now, then the second and sixth regiments behind will face the pressure of the devil's soldiers. The positions in the rear have not yet been dug up. Therefore, Xie Ming said that it cannot be withdrawn, not that it cannot be withdrawn.
"Hit, hit me hard. The first battalion and the second battalion were gone, the guard company was gone, the guard company was gone, and the communications squad was gone. It's all gone, even the cooking class has to be topped for me, to buy time for the brothers in the back. ”
The soldiers of the regiment fought very hard, and the marksmanship of the devils was very good, and often only as soon as they showed up, they would be seized by the devils. Many of the soldiers who died were shot to death by the devils. The devils, supported by artillery fire, launched a wave charge, which put a lot of pressure on the group. The regiment was already dissatisfied, and now there were less than 600 people left who could fight.
"Commander, the devil is coming up again. ”
Under the leadership of Xie Ming, a group finally repelled the devil's charge. But they didn't expect that the devil rushed up again so quickly, as if there were countless gold and silver treasures in front of them. Push them to keep moving forward.
As a veteran, Zhang Fugui protected himself very well, but his cheek was bruised by a fragment of a cannonball, and he was not harmed by Yan zhòng.
Zhang Fuguier glanced at the charging devil, and quickly retracted his head. Even in this instant, several bullets flew over his head.
Zhang Fugui bent his waist and quickly advanced along the position, picking up guns and helmets on the ground from time to time. He found the best place to shoot next to the corpses of two fighters. Gently setting up the Zhongzheng rifle, Zhang Fugui aimed at a devil soldier Cao.
"Bang", who was wielding a command knife, fell to the ground, and the bullet passed through his left eye and flew out of the back of his head.
"The 7th" Zhang Fugui said to himself, he wants to avenge the brothers who died in the defense of Nanchang, he wants to kill a total of 24 devil commanders, today from the beginning to the present, he has killed 7 devil officers, there are squad leaders, there are military Cao, and even a Shaozuo.
The devil still rushed forward without fear of death, and the number of people in the group continued to decrease, 500 people, 400 people.
"Regiment commander, you really can't fight anymore, if you fight again, our regiment will be gone, the deputy of the second battalion, the commander of the first company, and the commander of the second company are all killed, regiment commander, let's retreat." The first battalion commander crawled to Xie Ming and shouted with red eyes.
"Shut up, the order from the top is to let us hold on for 8 hours to buy time for the rear troops, even if everyone dies here today, we can't retreat, and if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you." ”
Commander Xie, who had a mixed face of mud and blood, yelled at the battalion commander.
"Brothers, follow me. Xie Ming glanced at the battalion commander, pulled out the big knife on his back, and shouted at the soldiers behind.
The devils had already pushed to the side of the trenches, and a regiment had to engage the devils in close combat.
"Ah, the brothers of the first battalion follow me and fuck the fucking little devils. The battalion commander yelled, and then rushed forward. He looked like a madman, besieged by devils, slashing left and right. It was like no one, but a devil stabbed a bayonet into his left waist with a surprise attack on his side.
"Ahh
"Little devil, I'll be your grandmother. The battalion commander shouted, and with a big sword, he highlighted the encirclement of the devils.
He supported his body with a knife, and now his body was covered in blood, some of the devils, and some of his own. The pain in his lower back made him unable to exert his strength.
Yizhan looked around and found that his comrades were divided into several pieces and besieged by devils.
"There should be less than 200 people, and it seems that I will go down to accompany my brothers today. ”
Looking at the approaching devils, the commander of the first battalion had no joy or sorrow, but kept waving the big knife. The devil's bayonet stabbed him in the calf and left shoulder.
"Big Pillar" Regiment Commander Xie couldn't help but roar when he saw that the devil's bayonet was about to pierce the chest of the first battalion commander, he quickly pulled out the small pistol on his waist, fired several shots, and killed the devil next to the first battalion commander.
"Commander, give me the grenade, you take the brothers and withdraw, we are going to be defeated. Woo."
Xie Ming also burst into tears and said, "Good brother, hold on for a while, and the Sixth Regiment will come to meet us immediately." ”
Due to excessive blood loss, the column began to fall into a state of shock.
The rest of the group kept moving closer to Xie Ming, and the last group had less than 100 people left. Xie Ming looked at these faces, tears couldn't stop flowing, and he choked up: "It's me who is sorry brothers." I didn't take you out of here alive, if you recognize me as the head of the regiment, we will be brothers again in the next life. ”
"Commander, you will always be our leader"
"We will always be brothers"
The rest of the soldiers surrounded Xie Ming and shouted one after another.
"Let the little devil see that the best of us are not afraid of death.
The muzzle of the gun is outward, and we are moving forward!
Don't hurt the people, don't hit your own people!
We are the team of iron, we are the heart of iron!
Safeguard the Chinese nation and always be a free man!
The muzzle of the gun is outward, and we are moving forward!
Safeguard the Chinese nation and always be a free man!
Load your bullets and aim for your enemies!
Shoot one at a time, one step at a time!
We are the team of iron, we are the heart of iron!
Safeguard the Chinese nation and always be a free man!
Load your bullets and aim for your enemies!
Defend the Chinese nation and always be a free man!"
Xie Ming sang the military song with the living soldiers, although there were less than 100 of them, but they exuded the tragic momentum of thousands of troops.
"Yo Xi, the people of China are going to be completely annihilated, and the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire are indeed invincible. The cowardly Shina are no match for us. The commander of the 101st Wing of the 172nd Division, Ichiro Honda, said to the chief of staff Miyamoto beside him.
"Hayi, Dazuo. The people of China did not last long, and this time we crushed Chiang's April offensive plus your exploits in breaking through Nanchang. It is completely possible to be promoted to major general, and I believe that the base camp will issue the appointment immediately. ”
"Haha, Miyamoto-kun, then let's wait for the promotion and appointment of the base camp with the blood of the Shina people"
Honda sent a message to the front combat units to annihilate the army of the China.
