The main position south of the bridge is in Yao Zongbang, and several villages have been completely destroyed, with houses burned down and trees cut down, opening up a depth of more than 400 meters.

As long as the Japanese army dared to advance to the line of Yao Zongbang, it would be subjected to crossfire from machine gun fire networks in two or three directions, and there was no chance of concealment at all.

The strong Japanese army took advantage of the victory and pursued all the way to the main position of Wangting, first using the men and horses of the small team to start a tentative attack, needless to say, it was quickly counterattacked by fire.

After the squadron's tentative attack was frustrated, the Japanese army immediately quickly stretched out to the two flanks, and the Japanese army, with superior forces, easily surrounded the main position of Wangting.

In addition to transporting the wounded soldiers to the north of the bridge, the 305th Regiment only had less than two battalions of men and horses left in the position south of the bridge, and now it is delayed until the arrival of night, and it is impossible to organize troops to counterattack.

Tired, it's too tired, the Japanese army relies on superior forces (constantly gathering, it is estimated that there are two brigades of troops), conducting wheel warfare, not allowing the national army troops to rest, and there is no chance to even eat, let alone pee and, when it is critical, they will directly pull their bodies.

The position is constantly compressed, which is already very dangerous, the main position is within the effective strike range of the Devil's Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the leader of the devil's squad equipped with telescopes will command the heavy machine gun fire net to be fiercely viewed from three directions.

Of course, hidden in the bunker stronghold group, the heavy machine gun fire net could not hit the officers and soldiers of the country. However, the Jinling-made Makqin heavy machine gun hidden in the position was overjoyed by the hunt, and began to fire back at the exposed Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun or 11-year-old light machine gun to suppress the fire.

This was a trick of the Japanese army, and after losing one or two light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese 37 flat-fire infantry guns immediately got the target.

The 37 guns are the "sniper guns" that counter heavy weapons, and the Makqin heavy machine guns that fire boldly will be immediately suppressed by concentrated fire from infantry guns from two or three directions.

As a result, after the loss of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the main position of the national army had to be completely silent, because firing would reveal the position, so it had to sit quietly and wait.

When the Japanese machine guns and flat-fire guns could not find a target, the mortars and wing guns would begin to fire sabotage with "long-term effectiveness".

On the battlefield, no matter how advanced the weapons are, in the end, they have to be equipped with personnel to occupy and clean up the battlefield; Now, after the sabotage shots, the Japanese began to attack tentatively again.

It is impossible to let all the Japanese troops in the squad come over, and the Japanese troops in the squad cannot be underestimated, and the destructive power of fifty or sixty people is also huge, so the machine guns hiding in the bunker began to shoot again.

The 37 artillery was very good at attacking improvised bunkers and ground targets, but it was helpless to encounter relatively strong bunkers, but this was difficult for the Japanese army.

Because there are mountain artillery in the wing headquarters of the Japanese army, although the Japanese army's 41-type 75 mountain artillery is outdated, the letter tube gives the old artillery the lethality of the modern battlefield.

The deferred tube allows a 75mm grenade to penetrate the ground and explode again, which can destroy improvised fortifications and bunkers, and although it cannot tear over the half-meter-thick concrete roof of the bunker, it is enough to shock the people hiding inside.

The 82nd mortar of the mortar company in the north of the bridge began to fire, and the curved shells crossed the Wangyu River and the defensive position, and began to strike at the Japanese troops approaching the position.

Both sides are shelling, but unfortunately, the Japanese artillery is very sufficient, while the national army's can only fight for a while, and there will be no shells, or, no more, the shells are finished, where is the reason for the existence of the artillery company.

As a result, the national army hiding in the Wangting bunker was forced to move from the bunker to the shelter to hide from the shells, and simply learned the defensive tactics of Sangou's position in Luodian.

Just don't show your head, wait for the devil to come, and fight with bayonets, the problem is that on the Luodian side, there are strong logistical supplies, and there are also constant replenishments of soldiers.

And here, hundreds of thousands of troops of the national army are retreating on all fronts, and only the 305th Regiment is defending alone, with no reinforcements, no supplies, and even no hope of survival.

Why? Why should we cover the retreat of the large army here, give the hope of life to others, and we will only end up in death, why should we exchange our death for the life of others.

Looking at the figure of the large army moving away behind him, many people inevitably have grief and despair, which has a terrifying and unbearable test and torment in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, only faith, only the support of faith, can persist in this life and death juncture; I knew that compromise was the way to live, and insisting was to find death, but I still resolutely did it.

At noon on the 23rd, the strength of the Japanese army had increased to one wing, with eight 75 mountain guns storming both sides of the railway and the canal.

In the case of being attacked on three sides, the 305th Regiment was in danger, and in the midst of the crisis, Regiment Commander Zhang grabbed the machine gun, led the guards, and went into battle to charge.

Because he knew that although there was a bridge behind him, there was no way to retreat, and retreating at this time was a rout, and a large number of people were either shot on the bridge or in the river.

The regimental commander personally went into battle, and the morale was unprecedentedly high, and everyone rushed to be the first to bravely carry out a counter-charge, and the dogs would rather die on the way to the charge than fall on the way to retreat.

The fierce Japanese army also carried out a counter-charge, and thousands of people were carrying out a continuous counter-charge, and the two sides were like a tide, constantly rushing to the highest place.

The two green waves kept colliding together, and the white spray was the color of the soldiers' bayonets.

The veterans of the supplementary company of the three dogs have seen too many tragic scenes of life and death, and most of them are indifferent and numb, but now, seeing that Regiment Commander Zhang entered purgatory in person without hesitation, the frozen blood in his heart slowly began to boil.

Thousands of people fought fearlessly in a narrow strip of less than a few square kilometers with bayonets, surrounded by people constantly falling, both enemies and comrades.

Especially when I saw my comrades-in-arms and brothers, when they were stabbed to the ground by the enemy, the hatred in their hearts was even more surging and could not be quelled.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, in the end, there is no rule to speak of, the only thing to rely on is faith and persistence, persistence is victory, persistence is survival.

In the distance, the remnant sun is like blood, and in the near distance, there is blood everywhere; When the sun slowly set in the west, the devil finally didn't want to continue, because once it was dark at night, hand-to-hand combat was even more cruel, and it was completely exchanging human lives for human lives.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese army, the officers and men of the national army actually had no strength to pursue, all the reserves were used up, and even the artillery brothers north of the bridge ran to help.

However, the devil is also powerless to fight back, the two sides are so tired that they can't fight again, so they have no choice but to retreat, Commander Zhang sighed in his heart, if there is another reserve force in his hand, the last five minutes will come up, and the victory will belong to us.

However, for the defenders, being able to hold their positions without losing them is a victory, and every minute and every second they hold on now can help the large army of the national army escape one more person.

In order to hold on to this minute and second, the 305th Regiment paid a huge sacrifice, a large number of personnel sacrificed in this hand-to-hand combat, although the supplementary company did not sacrifice much, but also contributed nearly one-third of the battle losses.

Sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self; Like the Dunkirk retreat on the European battlefield later, the persistence of the 305th Regiment of the 51st Division of the 74th Army saved the last blood capital for the country, and the capital for the final turnaround, paid a hard battle.

The only difference is that the Dunkirk retreat on the European battlefield has been greatly rendered in later generations, while the extremely critical Wangting Resistance Battle on the Chinese battlefield is almost unknown.
