140. Show them countenance

On the afternoon of 6 March, the 17th Wing of the Japanese Army, the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Heavy Machine Gun Squadron directly under the Brigade Headquarters gathered on the open ground southeast of Baotougou and were eyeing the newly repaired fortifications in the south of Baotougou Village and the village. From time to time, officers and men walked out of the camp and looked out at Panlongling in Nanshan. The officials held binoculars and kept watching. Suddenly, a shot came from the fortifications on the west side, and one of the ensigns was shot and killed......

Most of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army at the mouth of the ditch also kept firing cold guns into the ditch and frequently provoked. Monkey Head Gou Village, a silent village, where war is about to ravage everything.

The highest peak at the top of the beam behind the monkey's head ditch, the monkey's head peak. The natural monkey head, with his most divine face and the most primitive face, watches the half of the arrow river flowing through the soup day after day, blessing the people who have lived for generations under his feet. On the day of March 6, it was rumored that the devil was coming to fight the southern army that had arrived the day before. Some people also say that the devil has fought several battles with this army, and always you are injured and I am killed, and no one obeys anyone. Then some people saw that the monkey's face changed and they were not happy.

Some people also said privately that this group of southern troops didn't take a single grass from us, and they were really benevolent. Many people in the village are helping the support front, and when the devil comes, they can't let them know all these things. There are also people who privately say that "Qianqingdi" contributed to the Fuhao Yong compound, and when they heard that the devil was coming, the whole family left and went to Houchuan. Even the troops living in Fuhaoyong have withdrawn to the Yonghu camp, and it seems that there is really going to be a war.

Yesterday, another unit came from the house.

It was the team that Bai Ji pulled up, and Chu Zhenhu contacted Brigade Commander Ding by phone and told them that Bai Ji's herdsman team was also here to fight devils. Director Han and Section Chief Li found the people in the village and went to pick up Bai Ji's people from the ditch. Bai Ji finally found Section Chief Li, and Section Chief Li introduced him to Director Han. Du He is a student of Director Han, and Bai Ji is a student of Du He, so there is really a friendship between teachers and students.

Director Han asked Bai Jidao: "It's not easy to pull up sixty or seventy people at one time, where did the weapons come from?" Bai Ji said: "In 1925, the first column of the Inner Mongolian People's Army organized by Bai Yunti and Le Jingtao put some weapons in my house after the defeat. "Section Chief Li proposed to Director Han that two people be transferred from the Rehe Special Operations Brigade to assist Bai Ji in leading this unit. Bai Ji begged for war, saying that the brothers were bent on fighting devils.

Director Han said: "Since you are sent back by Duhe, you are the person of *, and everything must be under the command of *." Bai Ji stood up when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I am a member of the *, and Mr. Du is my introducer, who am I listening to if I don't listen?" If it hadn't been for Section Chief Li, I wouldn't have pulled up the path of this team. If I hadn't met Captain Ha on the grassland, I wouldn't know where to look for you. You two say, let me fight as much as I want, and we'll fight ......."

When Director Han heard that he was sincere, he said again: "The team has just been pulled up, and the combat effectiveness is definitely not good, we must learn more and explore more, and the combat effectiveness can be improved little by little." Devils are not so easy to fight. Even the same Army, their quality is higher than ours. Let's just say that this time the siege and annihilation of Huajiagou, the terrain, terrain, tactics and unheard of natural conditions are all favorable to us, and most of our brigade contracted one of their wings, and they were seriously injured by 800 and lightly injured by more than 1,000 before that wing was solved...... Don't participate in the big battle first, so let's discuss it with Brigade Commander Ding in a while, and then you can go to Fangshengou to show your form, and see how the battle is fought......"

The war was imminent, and the brigade headquarters considered that a battalion of the 235th Regiment would be transferred to defend the newly repaired fortifications in the south of the village, and delay the Japanese army, which would aggravate the suspicion of the devils and make them chase after Panlong as soon as possible. Zhu Jinchuan, commander of the 14th Battalion, and Hua Menyong, deputy of the 14 th Battalion, led most of the 14 th Battalion into the fortifications yesterday, and Feng Guocai, commander of the 14 th Battalion, deputy Hua Ying, and Feng Guocai, a member of the Cadet Corps, mobilized before the war according to Section Chief Li's order. Zhang Zhenguo, a veteran, told the whole battalion about the characteristics of the Japanese army's weapons, and he said: "The devil's guns are all 38 big covers except for machine guns, and the rate of fire is fast. The devil's machine gun, the rate of fire is somewhat worse than the Makqin machine gun, and as soon as "he, he, he" sounds over there, you have to dodge smartly here, and it is best to roll to dodge......"

Squad leader Wang Yu talked about the skills of fighting bayonets with devils, and he said: "Ordinary soldiers of devils have been trained for more than a year, and it can be said that they are well-trained. We have to be more careful against such an opponent. The devil has a fixed pattern of fighting bayonets, at the beginning they are all fighting and stabbing quickly, in this move, to quickly break his tricks, use our broadswords, set up their bayonets, but our broadswords can not stop, we must slide towards the opponent, not to cut his head, but also to his neck or upper body. Our ghost head knives are shorter than their guns and bayonets, which makes it possible for us to cut the opponent at close range......" He also picked up his big knife and made a demonstration for everyone to understand.

When it was getting dark, Director Han also came to the fortification where the 14th Battalion was located, and he said: "Brothers of the 14th Battalion, in our continuous battles with the Japanese invaders, whether it is the brothers of the 41st Army or the brothers of the Northeast Army, it has been proved that we are all doing well. No matter how great the hatred in the world is, there is no more hatred than the hatred of the country and the family, and now the robbers are chasing us behind us, as if we were invading their country, and we will fight with them to the end with such robbers......"

Battalion Commander Zhu said: "Brothers, the task assigned to us by the brigade to our 14th Battalion is to contain the devils in this position. Although we are only a battalion, we have to fight with the momentum of a regiment. Not only must we not be afraid of death, but we must also be able to dodge guns and minimize sacrifices......

On the morning of March 7, the units of the 13th Wing of the Japanese Army had an early meal and prepared to attack the defenders' positions. The Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade separated the patrol in front of the formation early, adjusted the firing range and elevation angle of the artillery, and under the order of Tataro Kamebe, the five 92 infantry guns opened fire at the same time, pulling the smoke of the shells, and flew into the position of the defenders.

The first line of trenches was quickly leveled by flying shells for half a meter, and the officers and men of the 14th Battalion withdrew from the passage to the second trench. They didn't dare to raise their heads, for fear of being targeted by the devil. Soon, the devil's shells began to cover in depth, and the officers and soldiers began to dodge on both sides of the trenches again. About half an hour passed, the devil bombardment ended, and Battalion Commander Zhu gave an order, and the whole battalion immediately dispersed to the second trench.

The devil began to tentatively send out a small team, and Captain Asaro, holding his sword in both hands, supervised his team and drove forward. The devils all held their guns flat, bending forward tentatively as they aimed. Suddenly, a volley of guns came over, and the devil was knocked to the ground. The other devils all fell on the spot, each looking for favorable terrain and firing back in the direction of the trench. Captain Asaboro quickly found a low-lying place to lie down, and directed his soldiers to grope forward with his sword.

A burst of grenades and grenades exploded in the position. The devil's corpse was constantly blown up and fell, and when Mahoro saw that there was a grenade thrown from the position, he didn't understand what was going on. The squadron leader of Matsushita with two other squads came up again. Captain Asaboro said: "Matsushita Shaosa, how can there be a grenade of the imperial army in that position?" It doesn't make sense that our arms were being used by Shina......," Matsushita Shaosa said, "Mahoro-kun, we still can't know about this. In front of us, we must charge, take the position of China, and make a contribution. ”

Captain Asaro shouted "Hai", rolled out of the low-lying ground on his side, and led the few remaining soldiers to rush forward on his stomach. Bullets continued to shoot from the trenches, leaving few soldiers in the Mahoro squad left. Matsushita Shaozo was in a hurry and scolded Mahoro for moving too slowly. Lieutenant Tsukuda said: "Matsushita Shaosa, I see that the front is a dense point of fire of the defenders, so it is better for me to lead the troops to move south, first, to attract their firepower, and second, to attack them from the flank." What do you think? ”

Matsushita Shaozo heard that he was reasonable, so he said: "You have it, you have it, you have it, hurry up, let's go." Slowly, Onoshita Sannakasa is about to rush up...... "Lieutenant Tsuida got the order, waved his hand and led his team, found low-lying ground as cover, detoured back to the southern half, and attacked the position. He let the head of the machine gun team open the way, and the trenches were filled with smoke. Battalion Commander Zhu in the trench saw that the devils were charging in two steps, which was a horn for each other, and it was their usual tactic. He ordered a platoon of grenades to kill and wound the devils.

After a burst of grenades, the devils fell, and they also had grenades, and when they got closer, they threw them into the trenches. As soon as Matsushita Shaosa saw that Lieutenant Tsuta's side had succeeded, he ordered the Honda squad leader to also use grenades, and sure enough, he killed and injured a large number of defenders. Battalion Commander Zhu saw that the devils were moving too close, and it seemed that some of them were grenades, so he ordered the third company to rush out of the position and slash the devils with a big knife. The rest of the people moved south along the trenches, and the devils did not show weakness, and all stood up to meet the third company.

Battalion Commander Zhu saw that the third company had few people, and ordered the second company to jump into the first trench and use a rifle to pick out devils and shoot at a distance. In this way, the third company lost more than twenty people, jumped back into the trenches, and under the cover of the second company, pursued the main force. In this round of massacre, one battalion lost one-third.

When they reached the southern end of the trench, they quickly drilled into the woods, used the woods as cover, and frequently returned fire. The devil chased after the second company, relying on the bullets fired in the woods, and the devils fell to the ground frequently, and the second company lost half of its numbers, and the rest also retreated into the woods. Matsushita Shaozo commanded the remaining soldiers to rush into the woods, and Wang Huayong, a soldier of the second company, was wounded in the leg, and he was afraid that others would come to pick him up, so he pretended to faint. To the north of him, Li Zhengqi, a soldier in the same class, was also wounded and fell to the ground, suddenly jumped up, cut off the devil in front of his head with a knife, and slashed and killed several people with his hand. It wasn't until the devil Piercing Tooth Jun Cao shot him from behind that he fell.

After he fell, Wang Huayong dragged his injured leg and kept firing at the group of devils. He witnessed Li Zhengqi slashing the devils and running in all directions, covering their necks and running. He pulled the trigger and laughed loudly......

Matsushita Shaosa did not give up, and wanted to rush into the woods to pursue, at this time, Onoshita Sanzhong Sasa also came to the trench, he called Matsushita Shaosa to him, and said: "Your land, you should have occupied there a long time ago and intercepted them...... You, mistakenly ...... greatly" Ono Sanyi raised his head, saw the monkey head peak, his face changed, and said: "The monkey's face has changed, I came here quietly yesterday, and the monkey's face is not like this...... It wants to show the imperial army's face? ”
