Chapter 277: The quagmire of war
In the dark night, in the temperature of minus ten degrees, the giant cannon never stopped roaring for even a moment, the heavy rain of bullets did not stop for a moment, fighting again and again, repelling a charge in the organization, on the streets, the explosion roared one after another, the entire Changde City was burning, burning the ruined houses, burning the bodies of the martyrs, and burning the boiling blood. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
What the 58th Army did not know was that this war was directly concerned by Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and people were closely watching the trend of this war, and the gains and losses of Changde were not the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but the gains and losses related to the overall situation of the entire War of Resistance Against Japan.
In Changde City, the tragic fighting continued, and all departments launched street battles, and the most difficult thing to fight in the war was the street fighting, and this was a whole Changde City.
At this time, the houses and shops were in ruins, and the streets and ruins were full of firepower points, and the Japanese tanks also quickly supported them, constantly firing at the attacking troops, and every time the artillery went out, the houses and people blew up.
The two sides fought around a street for half an hour, and the two sides did not know how many times it was to fight, grenades, explosive bags, grenadiers, grenades, anti-aircraft guns, and bombardment again and again, but the Japanese troops also continued to put in, and there were firepower points everywhere, and even dozens of people killed in a street could not pass.
For the Japanese army to resist like this, the troops had to advance layer by layer, little by little towards the city of Changde, but this speed was still extremely slow, after all, there was a wing in front of Lu Hai, and there was also a wing in front of Li Juan's regiment.
According to the memories of General Lu Daoyuan and General Xiao Benyuan: "The battle for Changde was a scorched earth war of resistance, and it was also the worst and most difficult battle fought by the 58th Army since it entered the war, but it was also the most glorious battle fought by the 58th Army!" ”
At the south gate, the battle never stopped for a moment, and a battalion of the 32nd Regiment finally captured the Changde Railway Station after one bloody battle after another, but saw a huge railway station, full of ruins, broken walls, and corpses everywhere, several train cars were also blown over on the railway station, and the railway was full of big craters made by shells.
In this bloody battle, the first battalion actually fought less than one company of troops, and the Japanese army also lost more than 500 people here, and the same second battalion also advanced nearly a kilometer, but the advance of this kilometer also made the second battalion pay more than half of the casualties, the seriously wounded have been urgently carried down, and the lightly wounded only bandaged casually with bandages and continued to participate in the battle.
Li Juan's 32nd Regiment had suffered heavy losses before, and after replenishment, there were only less than three battalions left, and under such circumstances, the casualties of the two battalions were almost completely annihilated, and the 32nd Regiment was almost difficult to push forward.
At this time, Li Jian was almost unrecognizable, I saw that the rank of colonel on his neck had been removed, and the same military uniform was also tattered, and his whole face was black gunsmoke, and I saw that there was a thumb-sized wound on his face, which was wounded by shrapnel, and the wound was already swollen.
"Send a telegram to the division commander, if we continue to fight like this, our 32nd Regiment will be exhausted before we capture Changde, reinforcements, I need reinforcements!" Li Jian sat down weakly in the corner and said.
"Yes!"
"Tell the three battalions to replenish quickly, gather the strength of the one battalion to consolidate the captured territory, and wait for support!"
"Yes!"
The battle at the north gate continued, and in the direction of Daxing Street, the two sides launched a tragic fight, and the two battalions of Zhao Jianying and Hai Zhizhi launched more than a dozen fierce charges to finally drive the Japanese army out of Daxing Street.
However, the Japanese counterattack was soon launched, and seven or eight tanks cooperated with more than 1,000 Japanese troops to launch a counterattack, and the fight began again!
"Reload!"
"Ready!"
"Put!"
As soon as the words fell, a roar sounded, a battle defense artillery shell slammed into a Japanese turret, the violent explosion did not blow up the tank, but the turret of the tank was blown up, the Japanese tank became a toothless cobra, just when the Japanese tank wanted to retreat and escape, but found that the back was all infantry that came up together, once retreated, it would crush its own people, in this case, the Japanese tank suddenly had a dilemma, However, the Japanese tanks quickly charged towards the attacking Kaijiji, who was attacking in front, and this posture was to directly crush the Chinese army with tracks!
However, now they are not the first time they have exchanged fire with the Japanese army, and they will not rush up with bayonet sappers, just when the Japanese tank has just rushed out a few meters of battle defense guns and fired again, a shell slammed into the armor of this Japanese army.
I saw that the Japanese tank was drilled out of a fist-sized hole, and the whole tank suddenly burst into flames, at this time, a Japanese pilot covered in flames suddenly opened the hatch and drilled out, but at this time, Haizhizhi raised his hand and shot the Japanese soldier to death on the tank, and at the same time the whole body hung on the hatch and burned.
"Keep fighting, and when these Iron Kings are gone, continue to charge!" Kaijiji shouted as he opened fire.
"Yes!"
In the sound of gunfire, one by one the Japanese soldiers were thrown down on the ruins, at the same time, several anti-aircraft guns fired again, in the roar, two Japanese tanks caught fire again and paralyzed on the street, but the position of the anti-aircraft guns was also exposed, under the bombardment of the Japanese 75 mm main gun, a anti-aircraft gun was hit and caught fire, several soldiers who controlled the anti-aircraft guns were blown up, and dozens of shells were also detonated, which almost completely blew up the dilapidated houses hidden by the anti-aircraft guns into ruins, and shrapnel flew around. He also killed and wounded as many as seven or eight of the infantrymen who opened fire.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
As soon as the words fell, a shell flew out and exploded directly into the interior of the Japanese tank, but at this time, the four Japanese tanks actually fired at the fire, and the battle defense gun also exploded again in the roar, and the artillery was almost dead, that is, the soldiers not far away were injured.
Hai Zhizhi hurriedly turned around and shouted: "You pigs, quickly transfer the artillery position, wait to be the target!" ”
The only remaining anti-aircraft gun hurriedly moved, and just a few meters back when the Japanese artillery fire hit the original position.
The battle defense gun that had just retreated turned its gun and aimed its muzzle at the speeding Japanese tank, and a soldier controlling the artillery hurriedly said: "Reload!" ”
"Fix!" Saying that a soldier hurriedly adjusted the gun position, more than ten meters later, an artillery bolt violently pulled the gun rope, and a shell flew out again and hit the Japanese tank, I have to say that the Japanese tank is a group of weakly armored guys, it is okay to deal with China, and it is really not even necessary to think about dealing with other countries, so these Japanese tanks will have a good effect as long as they have countermeasures, so as long as the armor-piercing shell hits, it will be the end of the explosion.
"Charge!"
In order to ensure the success of this charge, many soldiers almost charged up close to the explosion of mortars, and at the same time, all the soldiers also threw out the grenades, and the explosions sounded, and the Japanese troops who were building a defensive line on the ruins were blown up in large pieces, and the attacking troops at the front rushed into the crowd when the explosion just stopped or slowed down slightly, in this case, Some soldiers on both sides have even begun a white-knuckle fight.
On the streets of the front, the scene of Chinese and Japanese soldiers fighting everywhere became a mess, and Haizhizhi continued to attack with a squad of more than a dozen people, but the Japanese machine gun was blocked back by the Japanese machine gun when he charged a little distance, and Haizhizhi suddenly realized that if they didn't go up, the Japanese army would not be able to attack with a rat trap, and once they rushed up, they would be suppressed by the Japanese firepower.
But if you don't hit it, even if you defeat the Japanese army for a while, they will be exposed and they will be hit by the Japanese firepower, Hai Zhizhi hurriedly shouted: "Communication soldiers, tell the artillery to suppress them with maximum firepower, you guys will kill me back, and annihilate this group of devils first!" ”
"Yes!"
Just when Haizhizhi had just run back to the battlefield, the mortars not far away, along with mountain artillery, were also violently bombarding the Japanese army's deep position, and under such circumstances, Haizhizhi dared to let go of his hands and feet to defeat this group of Japanese troops.
The fierce battle began again, and with a rifle in his hand, Kai Zhizhi shot a Japanese soldier who was about to stab a bayonet into the head of a soldier, and then rushed quickly, and a bayonet stabbed a Japanese soldier not far away.
The Japanese soldier Cao hurriedly swung his knife and slashed over, at this time, Haizhizhi's bayonet almost didn't have any fancy direct stabbing body, but he hurriedly went to the side, and the sharp bayonet stabbed into the heart of this military Cao, but Haizhizhi dodged the blade of the Japanese army.
After doing this, Hai Zhizhi wanted to pull out the bayonet as soon as he made a force, but unexpectedly this bayonet was stuck in the sternum of this Japanese soldier, and he didn't pull it out after pulling it out twice, and at this time, a Japanese soldier charged over with a bayonet, and in a hurry, Hai Zhizhi picked up the katana that the military Cao fell to the ground, and rolled away from the Japanese army's bayonet.
At this time, Hai Zhizhi turned over and rushed towards the Japanese army together, this Japanese army was another stab, the blade pointed directly at the heart of Hai Zhizhi, but Hai Zhizhi is also a veteran of a hundred battles, this sudden stab can't be stopped, it is really a gutter overturned, I saw that the katana in Hai Zhizhi's hand suddenly rolled up the Japanese soldier's bayonet, and the blade rolled again but cut down on the neck of this Japanese soldier.
