Chapter 797: Fire Interception
The commander of the first battalion was shot several times, and the wound was bleeding profusely, but he still held the light machine gun strongly, pulled the trigger and fired the last bullet, shouted the last roar, and the tall figure fell to the ground with a bang.
The Kwantung Lengwa of the 46th Brigade saw with his own eyes the 52 machine gunners led by the commander of the first battalion, facing the enemy's crazy firepower, bravely rushing to the enemy, fighting the last drop of blood in the Dongyuan position, and dying heroically on this land.
They stepped on the blood of the martyrs, braved the enemy's bullets and bullets, killed the enemy without hesitation, and wrote the oath they made to leave the gate with their lives and blood.
Brigade Commander Kong of the 46th Brigade stood at the front-line command post, holding binoculars and seeing the soldiers bravely killing the enemy in the night, falling one after another.
Not only shouted with tears: "My good brother, the Dongyuan position has been able to hold on until now, it is your indomitable spirit of swearing to kill the enemy that is sticking to it, I am sorry for the sacrifice of Brother Lengwa in Guanzhong." ”
"Brigade seat, the commander of the 208th regiment Ma reported that the troops have run out of ammunition and food, and in the face of the enemy's crazy firepower, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and if they continue to attack with empty guns, the troops will suffer huge losses, and I request the brigade seat to ......."
"Chief of Staff Sun, what is the situation of the two regiments that are cooperating with the 208th Regiment on both flanks at this time? If they all reach the point of running out of ammunition and food, immediately stop the offensive and organize positional resistance on the spot. ”
"Report to the brigade, the weapons and ammunition of the 209 and 210 regiments are not as good as those of the 208 regiments, and it should also be at the most dangerous moment at this time, do you order the troops to stop the attack?"
"Now that our brigade has approached the enemy's forward position, if we withdraw from the battle now, I am afraid that it will cause greater casualties, so I ordered the troops to stop the attack and hide in place under the cover of night, waiting for replenishment of weapons and ammunition."
"Brigade seat, the temporary military warehouse of our brigade headquarters in the Dongyuan defense line has run out of ammunition and food, at this time order the troops to hide in front of the enemy's position, once the sky is bright and the enemy launches an attack, the regiments of the 46th Brigade have not been replenished with weapons and equipment in time, and then there will be extremely tragic hand-to-hand combat, and the troops will ......."
"Chief of Staff Sun, Commander Wei telegraphed an hour ago that there is a large transport convoy loaded with weapons and ammunition and other important military supplies, and it is very likely that it will break through the fire blockade line of the Japanese army's Guanshan Feizhong Wing and pass through our position, and we will be replenished with a large amount of weapons and ammunition at that time, so as long as we insist that this transport convoy arrives and the troops are replenished with weapons and ammunition, we will definitely continue to attack the enemy."
"Brigade seat, how can there be a large convoy of weapons and ammunition transport on the fire blockade line of the enemy and us in the eastern plains? Commander Wei wouldn't be painting bread for us to satisfy our hunger, would he? Once this is a very tempting bubble, it will kill my brothers of the 46th Brigade. ”
Brigade Commander Kong said firmly: "We must believe this information given to us by Commander Wei, now our brigade is braving the enemy's most ferocious bullet rain, how many soldiers shed their last drop of blood and fell on the offensive road, and the soldiers who are still alive have finally approached the enemy's forward position with the blood of martyrs, and now it is not only dangerous but also useless to retreat. ”
"Brigade seat, I want to remind you again, once the troops are not replenished with weapons and ammunition before dawn, the Dongyuan position will be the death place where all my 46th Brigade will die here, do you still have to hold on?"
"Say no more, order the troops to stop the attack, hide in place, and wait for the replenishment of weapons and ammunition before launching the most ferocious attack."
Just when Brigade Commander Kong and Chief of Staff Sun were struggling to make the choice of whether to attack, hide on the spot, or immediately withdraw to their positions, suddenly on the front line of the Japanese position southeast of the Dongyuan defense line, the lights of a large convoy appeared.
As the lights move forward quickly, the not-so-intense gunfire is heard.
"Old Sun, do you see if there is a large transport convoy in the southeast, which is about to break through the Japanese blockade line and drive towards the rear of our army?" The picture is broadcast all over the world
"That's right, I saw it, there are at least a dozen of these large transport convoys, and I wondered why a large transport convoy was driving from behind enemy lines on the Dongyuan Defense Line, is it, is it ......."
"Don't guess, you and I will not guess how Commander Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, who is sticking to the Yongji defense line in Zhongtiao Mountain, will get the important military materials carried by this large transport convoy, since it has passed through my Dongyuan defense line, it is absolutely impossible to let it go so smoothly, even if it is robbed, it is necessary to grab weapons and ammunition to replenish the troops."
"What the brigade said is too right, the Dongyuan defense line is still in the hands of my 46th Brigade, which the soldiers bought with their lives and blood, otherwise this large transport convoy will never reach the rear of our army safely and smoothly, if you don't give it, you will rob it all."
At this moment, the combat staff officer ran in from outside the tent and shouted: "Report to the brigade seat, the commander of the sixth battalion of the 209th regiment who is sticking to the right flank reports that a large Japanese transport convoy has appeared at the front of the position, and two armored vehicles are opening the way in front, requesting disposal." ”
"Huh? Is it a large convoy of transports for the Japanese army? How is it possible, Commander Wei made it very clear that it was our transport convoy, and now it turned out to be the Japanese transport convoy that was going to pass through our defensive line, and ordered the commander of the sixth battalion to reconnoiter it for me again and report it immediately. ”
"Yes." The operational staff officer immediately had to pass through the commander of the sixth battalion in the forward position to quickly convey the brigade command.
The commander of the sixth battalion clearly saw the large transport convoy that appeared in the forward position, with two armored vehicles opening the way in front, quickly advancing to the front of the position, and soon breaking through the defense line of the sixth battalion, and now the brigade seat ordered to reconnoiter again, what does this mean?
He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately organized an assault platoon, and the commander of the sixth battalion pointed to the large convoy that continued to advance to the front of the position and said: "Brothers, the large transport convoy of the little devil suddenly appeared at the front of our position, and now it is hidden with me to reconnoitre, once it is found that it is a Japanese transport convoy, even if all of them are sacrificed, it will be destroyed." ”
The assault platoon, under the leadership of the commander of the sixth battalion, took advantage of the cover of night, jumping fast and sometimes slowly to approach the incoming transport convoy.
At this time, Fang Shichao, who was in charge of leading the transport convoy through the blockade line of the enemy's position, was engaged in a fierce battle with the Noda squadron that came to intercept him.
If Squadron Leader Noda hadn't mistaken it for a transport convoy of the Imperial Japanese Army, and had gone in the wrong direction and not launched fire to forcibly intercept it, the convoy would have been attacked by a squadron of Japanese troops, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Fang Shichao ordered Wang Shoucheng, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance platoon, to lead the cavalry team to block the approaching Noda squadron with the most ferocious firepower, and cover the transport convoy to quickly pass through the Japanese blockade line.
Squadron Leader Noda, who was hit by the powerful fire of the cavalry reconnaissance platoon, saw this large transport convoy of the imperial army, not only did not accept the warning, but suddenly launched a fire attack on their well-intentioned interception, not only roared angrily:
"Order the troops to warn the transport convoy with the heaviest fire, and once they continue to advance to the rear of the Chinese troops, they will all die."
In order to intercept this large transport convoy, Noda's squadron and a Japanese squad that rushed to intercept it had to use the heaviest firepower to intercept the large transport convoy.
Although the Japanese launched a fire counterattack on the transport convoy, they did not carry out the greatest fire attack on Wang Shoucheng's cavalry reconnaissance platoon.
Because Squadron Leader Noda always believed that this huge transport convoy must have made a mistake in the direction and route, so he pushed to the rear of the Shina troops regardless of life or death.
