643. A good chance to pick up a thorn
In the back, some veterans even teased the devil, pretending to point at the devil with a shell gun, so frightened that the devil hurriedly jumped away, but in fact the veteran did not shoot, just a false shot.
It's as simple as a false shot, but for the devil, it's very torturous, like a person being caught and shot, and the gun is empty, and then pulled back and come back next time.
Moreover, in a stab that requires a high degree of concentration, it is also fatal to be often distracted like this.
When the devil was dodging the bullets, he exposed the gap, and was either stabbed by the Chinese soldiers, or he was stabbed in a hurry, and he couldn't fight back.
Of course, this is not the mainstream, there is no room for jokes on the battlefield, the first element is to kill the enemy in the fastest time, with the most concise and economical methods.
Any mistake, or letting go of a devil, even if it is a wounded soldier, may cause irreparable losses, and many soldiers are shot by the wounded soldiers of the devil when they clean up the battlefield.
Therefore, no matter what the devils are doing now, they are at a disadvantage anyway, so it is even more important to kill them quickly and not attract more devils.
Whatever you are worried about, you will come.
The devil really sent reinforcements, and a normal commander would not sit idly by and watch the lives of more than 100 people under his command, let alone Japanese soldiers.
In order to defeat the Chinese army this time, they gathered more than 300,000 troops to come to China, and you must know that the Japanese army in active service is almost 400,000 people.
Historical records: From 1937 to 1938, Japan's army standing strength consisted of 17 divisions, three aviation commands, and special forces such as artillery, cavalry, chariots, and chemical troops, with a total strength of 380,000.
In other words, the Japanese Army only left less than 100,000 active-duty soldiers in Japan as left-behind divisions, and the rest came to China.
In this battle of Xuzhou, except for the Kwantung Army that stayed in the northeast, most of the troops came over, so if one died, one less would die, and the lives of Japanese soldiers were very valuable.
Although Japan now has 4 million reserves, this is not an active army after all, and it will not be used until there is an emergency.
Besides, whether it was the Battle of Songhu or the capture of Nanjing, as well as the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army was looking for the main force of the Chinese army to fight, with a view to annihilating most of the Chinese army and achieving the goal of a quick battle and a settlement of the Chinese incident.
What are they most afraid of, what they are most afraid of is that they are trapped in the quagmire of the Chinese battlefield, and in the Japanese base camp, there are still different voices, that is, they oppose investing too many troops in the Chinese battlefield and are entangled here.
Although Japan is a world power militarily, it is a small country in terms of resources, and they cannot afford to fight a lasting transnational war, and they themselves know it very well.
Therefore, now the whole country will be poured into the encirclement and suppression of the 600,000 Chinese mobile forces in the surrounding areas of Xuzhou, once the capture of the troops to annihilate this force, the Chinese army will be greatly damaged, and there will be no more troops to compete with the Japanese army.
Japan could quickly resolve the China incident and force the Chinese government to sign the instrument of surrender, so that Japan could use the resources of the whole of China, and even could draw Chinese as a subsidiary army to fight other countries.
Therefore, this Xuzhou breakthrough is not just a country in China fighting against Japan, but on behalf of the whole of Asia in fighting against Japan.
The Xuzhou Breakout was not just the Dunkirk retreat in China, but the Dunkirk retreat in Asia as a whole.
Now the 74th Army is divided into two routes in Dangshan, one to the north of the 58th Division, to the 16th Division of the Japanese army moving south, and all the way to the 51st Division, to the 13th Division of the Japanese army to the north.
This is a bit like the feeling of having a strong man general in the past, holding on to the city gate that was about to close, and letting his troops escape through this gap.
Under normal circumstances, one army of the Chinese army is not at all an opponent of one division of the Japanese army, let alone two Japanese divisions and regiments.
Of course, there are other armies in this that are holding back these two divisions of the Japanese army, and they will cut off their rear roads at any time, so that they dare not go over and stand forward, which greatly reduces the pressure on the 74th Army.
Therefore, the Japanese army originally engaged in the forward assault battle was even less, and the lives of the soldiers were more valuable, and the captain of the devil brigade saw that more than 100 of his men were besieged by Chinese soldiers, and immediately sent another squadron to relieve the siege.
An infantry brigade of the Japanese army normally has three squadrons of infantry, and now the Japanese army only has one squadron of reserves left, which can be regarded as attaching great importance to this battle.
The second battalion did not quickly kill the devil tank escort unit at once, and now it is too big to lose, and a squadron of nearly 200 people rushed over to reinforce it, and the form suddenly became grim.
Of course, the 305th Regiment not only has only one second battalion, Zhang Lingwu still has two infantry battalions in his hands that have not been dispatched, and now he sees that the devil is so arrogant and sends so many infantry to fight for the assassination, this is not in the hands of our Chinese army.
If the devils set up a position, the planes and artillery kept bombing, and the tanks were crushing and ploughing back and forth, then our Chinese army would have no choice but to hide in the position or flee quickly.
However, if you devil sends a large number of people to fight the stab, wouldn't you give up your superior firepower, just like a few big men of you, throw away the knives and guns in your hands, and a group of us thin people come to fight in groups, this, who is afraid of whom.
Regiment Commander Zhang immediately issued an order: All the first battalion are on bayonets, on!
At the same time, the third battalion, as a reserve, also immediately entered the position of the original first battalion, ready to fight at any time, and also guarded the flank of the position to guard against a roundabout sneak attack by the Japanese army.
In addition, I also called the brigade headquarters and asked for help.
I don't know how many devils there are, although it seems that there is only one brigade, and there is no guarantee that the devils have other troops, in case another brigade comes, the 305th regiment will be killed even if it fills in all the old books.
The three dogs of the third battalion and the seventh company immediately beckoned everyone, took their places, and entered the position of the first battalion, the bayonet was unsheathed, the tenon was jammed, the grenade was replenished, the big knife was on the back, and the machine gunner was also loaded.
The devil began to fight the stab, the original nearly 100 people, after being besieged by the second battalion of 400 people, immediately quickly reduced the number, at least more than half, only a few dozen people remained, just about to be wiped out, the devil put more than 200 people into the stabbing battlefield.
These dozens of devils are desperate all of a sudden.
Under normal circumstances, when fighting stabbing, a devil can top about three Chinese soldiers, and there is no problem with four to deal with a miscellaneous army.
This is not to destroy their own prestige, but it is the case, so as soon as these two hundred or so devils rushed into the battlefield of stabbing, the pressure of the second battalion can be imagined, and they will be a little tired after fighting.
Fortunately, the devil didn't want to really fight to the death with the second battalion, mainly to rescue these dozens of people back, so it seems to be very stressful, but in fact he is not so afraid of people, because the devil doesn't want to fight.
However, whether the devil loves war or not, now it is not up to the devil to say, but it depends on the mood of the 305th regiment.
The 305th Regiment finally killed the devil's tank, and fought for such a good opportunity to fight for the thorns, how could it be easy to give up, for Zhang Lingwu, giving up at this time is tantamount to giving up all the previous achievements.
Therefore, when the devil's reinforcements rushed up, Regiment Commander Zhang also carried out the tactics of adding oil, adding oil, isn't it just constantly adding troops into it, who wouldn't, but I have a lot of Chinese soldiers.
