Chapter 42: The Battle of Ishigaki Island: The Bloody Battle of the Valley of the Townspeople (2
Lin Junxiong saw that Murakami Takeshi was stagnant, and he was a little worried, afraid that this butcher would not be fooled, so he took Lin Jialiu's squad to the direction of the Japanese army, and when he was about to reach the Japanese army 500m, he raised his gun and shot a few times at the mountain forest, and ran frantically to the valley with more than a dozen soldiers, shouting while running: "The Japanese army is coming!" The Japanese army is coming! ”
Murakami Takeshi looked at it proudly, and said gloomily: "It's too late to understand now, haha" ordered the team to move forward, and when advancing about 500m, Nakagawa Kiyohide ignored Okakishimasa's stopping, and stepped forward and said: "Your Excellency Shaoza, be careful that the cunning 'bandits' have tricks. ”
Takeyoshi Murakami walked up and slapped him wildly, and scolded in his mouth: "Yaga, a cowardly fellow, is not worthy of being a warrior of the Great Japanese Empire, disturbing the morale of the army at such a critical time." "Draw a knife to kill Nakagawa Kiyohide. Okakishi hurriedly stepped forward to intercede, and asked Nakagawa Kiyohide to lead a team to let Akai Naomasa's squadron also rush over and participate in the encirclement and suppression. Takeshi Murakami let go of Nakagawa Kiyohide, kicked him away, and yelled, "Get out!" ”
Nakagawa Kiyohide saw that Murakami Takeyoshi couldn't listen, so he had to take his team of more than a dozen people to the station of Naomasa Akai in Kogakuguchi.
As if it was a farce, Murakami Takeshi also seemed to be sobered up by the farce, and ordered the artillery to bombard the Chinatown Valley first. The shells fell densely in the middle of the valley and on the low places around it, but not a single one of them landed in the trenches, and the soldiers lay in the trenches and pretended to howl in pain.
Murakami Takeyoshi observed with a telescope and saw that the "bandits" in the middle of the valley kept falling, and the howls of pain reverberated through the valley. With an excited look on his face, he ordered the troops to move forward quickly and quickly deal with all the "bandits" in the valley, and after receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers rushed over howling like hungry wolves.
Seeing the Japanese rush over, Lin Junxiong immediately ordered the troops to take their positions, and changed the original plan, so that Lin Jiajun's second detachment quickly blocked and held the valley mouth when the Japanese army rushed into the valley, and the third detachment of Dusheng occupied the Japanese artillery and opened fire in the center of the valley.
Murakami Takeyoshi listened to the screams in the valley and rushed forward excitedly, as if his war knife was about to drink the enemy's blood, the Japanese infantry, machine gunners, and grenadiers were all rushing, but the artillerymen could only stay in place and watch aggrievedly.
Lin Junxiong hid in the grass not far from the valley mouth, watching the enemy continue to rush into the valley, shooting at the scarecrow standing in the middle of the valley with shells blowing up the scarecrow, and when the last few enemies rushed into the valley, he waved his hand and led Du Sheng and his third detachment from the grass at the mouth of the valley to the outside of the valley, at the same time, Lin Jiajun had blocked the mouth of the valley and began to arrange defenses.
The Japanese troops who rushed to the middle of the valley first found that they were all straw men, and before they had time to shout, countless shells had fallen from the sky; The Japanese troops closest to Taniguchi saw that there were "bandits" about to rush out and were preparing to pursue them, when an explosion sounded at the same moment. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, the anti-Japanese army fired all the only more than 80 shells down from the hillside, hoping to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy.
The sound of shell explosions and the cries of soldiers made Murakami Takeyoshi finally wake up, knowing that he had been tricked, wiped the blood of the soldiers on his face, and commanded the troops to organize a counterattack with the squadron as a unit.
The Japanese artillery saw the anti-Japanese army rushing quickly, and hurriedly raised their guns to organize an attack, but the incident happened too suddenly, and only one round of bullets was fired, and the anti-Japanese army rushed to the front, and the two sides began a fierce hand-to-hand fight. The combat ability of the Japanese artillery is obviously inferior to that of the infantry, and the soldiers of the third detachment of the twilight are basically brought out from the Nahayue training camp, and the fighting ability is trained by Lin Junxiong according to the special forces of later generations. The two sides were basically equal in numbers, but their combat strength was completely unequal, and in less than 15 minutes, Lin Junxiong and his men wiped out the Japanese army's 55-man artillery reinforced platoon.
In fifteen minutes, the artillery outside the valley was resolved, and Murakami Buyoshi in the valley was not comfortable, and in just fifteen minutes, 200 Japanese soldiers fell. He was ready to organize a team to break through from the valley mouth, and with more than 400 people remaining, he was confident that he could break out.
"Hehe, now it's our turn to bang you, little devil." Twilight smiled coldly, then waved his hand, and was about to watch the explosion blossom among the Japanese troops, but saw that the shells were fired in the wrong direction, and two shells also landed near Lin Jiajun's second detachment.
Lin Junxiong shook his head helplessly, this is accurate, no wonder these brothers have never seen this Type 92 70mm infantry gun before. Lin Junxiong stepped forward to test shoot a shot, and the effect was not bad, so he instructed a few brothers who were more brilliant to also test shoot a shot, although the effect was not very good, but it was already very close to the target. He will let Xiang Beigen and his squad command the test shells here, and he and Dusheng will take the rest of the people to support Lin Jiajun's second detachment and block the Japanese army in the valley.
Murakami Takeyoshi was rushing towards Taniguchi with his troops, and when he heard the sound of cannonballs whistling, he quickly ordered the team to lie down, and the cannonballs exploded. Puzzled, he got up and continued to run, but he didn't run a few steps and another shell fired, this time directly killing several soldiers, he began to have a premonition, and eighty percent of the artillery was also wiped out.
Murakami Takeshi rushed over with 400 people, Lin Jiajun began to get nervous, there is no good cover, how can it be blocked, so he put the machine gun in the good bunker position, and he took others to dodge and shoot.
100 meters, 100 meters away from the valley mouth, although there are less than 400 troops left, as long as they rush out, everything still has a chance, Lin Jiajun's team began to be unable to resist, under the enemy's intensive fire, soldiers continued to fall, Lin Jiajun began to get anxious, if the enemy rushed out, the operation would fail.
Xiang Beigen was also anxious, the closer the enemy got to his troops, the more he was afraid of accidentally injuring his troops, and there was one last chance to launch, and if he was not accurate in this round, he could only give up and not hurt his own troops. According to what Lin Junxiong said, the guide checked the angle of the several doors, and at the sound of an order, a few shells were fired, and Xiang Beigen looked nervously, praying that it must be accurate.
There are still 60 meters, the anti-Japanese army seems to be unable to withstand the impact of their own team, Murakami Takeyoshi saw the dawn of survival beckoning to him, but he suddenly heard the sound of cannonballs whistling, several black dots were approaching, slowly getting bigger, obscuring the glimmer of dawn he saw, and then, he heard an explosion, and then, he fell, not knowing whether he was unconscious or went to see death.
This round of shells to the north root was actually very accurate, two of them fell directly into the crowd, and a few more were not very reliable, five or six explosions sounded, and the Japanese troops lay down one after another, and when they got up again to prepare to charge, Taniguchi's firepower suddenly increased, and Murakami Takeyoshi could no longer find it.
Lin Junxiong arrived in time to relieve Lin Jiajun's pressure. The Japanese soldiers, who had lost their commanders, stopped and shot in place, not knowing for a moment whether to advance or retreat.
The two sides were in a stalemate for about half an hour, and when the first detachment saw that the situation had been turned in their favor, they rushed out of the trench and rushed from the hillside to the Japanese with the soldiers of the first detachment howling; Immediately afterwards, the fourth and fifth detachments also rushed out of the trench and rushed down the hillside. Okakishi was with Takayama Eiteru and was helplessly fighting back with his team, when he heard shouts of killing everywhere and knew that it was all over.
At this time, there were only more than 200 Japanese troops left, and a Japanese soldier who could not withstand the terrifying shouts of killing began to break down and cry, the breath of death was approaching, and the pessimism was contagious. Soldiers kept giving up resistance and starting to cry, and Okakishi knew that this was the end of it, and he decided to fight to the death. He shouted at the soldiers: "You are all valiant samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, all stand up and rush forward, and die with dignity, long live the Great Japanese Empire!" Long live the Emperor! ”
Japanese soldiers continued to stand up without fear of death, and most of the soldiers rushed out with Okakishi.
The machine guns and rifles of the anti-Japanese army fired cross-fire at the Japanese soldiers who rushed towards them, and by the time the distance between the two sides was still 30 meters, there were less than 100 Japanese soldiers rushing towards them. Lin Junxiong stood up and said resolutely: "When the brave meet on the narrow road, the brave wins, brothers go to bayonets and kill!" ”
The anti-Japanese army of more than 60 people met 100 Japanese soldiers who were fighting for the last chance of life, and in this life-and-death struggle, it was not who had higher fighting skills, but who was more afraid of death and who had stronger perseverance. In hand-to-hand combat, there are fighters who strangle the enemy to death and do not let go; Some warriors clung the enemy's neck until their hands trembled weakly, but they gritted their teeth and persevered; There were fighters who were stabbed in the chest by the enemy in the back, but they still held on to their last breath and stabbed their bayonets into the enemy's chest as well.
Lin Junxiong, Du Sheng, and Wu Hansheng were back to back, like three killing gods, turning and moving forward, and where they passed, the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground one after another. They also insisted on the limits of their physical strength, clenching their teeth.
The battle was quickly over when the first, fourth, and fifth detachments rushed over. Because Lin Junxiong considered that the first detachment would return from a long-distance attack, the fourth and fifth detachments had a shorter training time, and the three teams were arranged to fight defensive battles, and the losses were relatively small. The second and third detachments, which were the main forces, lost more than half of their numbers.
The final result of the battle was counted, the anti-Japanese army sacrificed 70 people and 30 people were injured in exchange for 822 casualties of the Japanese Murakami Bukit Brigade, and more than ten soldiers who finally surrendered, Lin Junxiong pulled them to the front of his own sacrificed soldiers.
But the battle was not over, and before the battlefield could be cleaned up, the scouts reported that the squadron Naomasa Akai and Kiyohide Nakagawa were less than 2 kilometers apart. Lin Junxiong said that everyone would see the good show, and then he instructed the squad to Beigen on the use of the 92nd infantry gun, and about half an hour later, nearly 200 Japanese troops groped their way forward. Lin Junxiong took the others to press the formation behind, Xiang Beigen was a little nervous, and ordered the troops to take a deep breath to adjust their state, quickly reload, adjust the angle, and shoot. The shells accurately fell into the enemy, and for a time wailed all over the ground, and after three or four rounds of firing in succession, the Japanese began to flee after dropping nearly a hundred corpses, and Lin Junxiong let Phoenix's detachment pursue, and the Japanese fled in a hurry, and only 40 people reached Ishigaki Town alive.
Lin Junxiong only left one prisoner, that is, Murakami Buji, who was unconscious in the melee, he wanted to hand him over to Ruan Xuelin, some revenge was revenge by themselves, and some knots still needed to be opened by themselves.
Hayashi ordered the team to rest for three days before heading for Ohama Village, from where it left Ishigaki Island and headed for Iriomote Island.
