528. Death is not blind
There are still more than a dozen or so Chinese people covered in wounds and blood on the battlefield, and they are still holding on strongly.
And the devils who surrounded them were laughing and feeling like they were playing with them, and these warriors were suffering from throwing grenades on their bodies even the last glory, and now all that was left was a broken gun.
Some guns are also smashed, some are just empty-handed, as long as they don't die, no matter how humiliated the devil is, they have to find the devil desperately, even if it is useless, because of powerlessness, even if the devil is caught, he can't kill the devil.
How desperate this is, having the heart to serve the country and being unable to kill the enemy.
At this time, the few people guarding the eastern fortress, that is, Qin Guogang and Tan Yizhong, were also being compressed to this side of the position by the devils who surrounded them outside.
Hearing the sound of gunshots from the official rifles, several of the humiliated stabbing brothers here suddenly shouted:
"Brothers, shoot at me, shoot quickly!"
When Qin Guogang, who was crazy, heard this, he immediately picked up the machine gun and wanted to strafe, but was pressed down by Tan Yizhong:
"You're crazy with your own people?"
"They can't survive, and we can't survive, you get out of the way."
Tan Yizhong still grabbed the machine gun and didn't let go, but was kicked away by Qin Guogang, and the Czech machine gun in his hand immediately screamed.
Qin Guogang shouted with a hideous face while holding back tears: "Brothers, you won't blame me, right? You can't blame me, right? ”
The devil didn't expect Qin Guogang to really shoot, and he was immediately swept away, and even a few Chinese soldiers who were surrounded in the middle were also swept down by Qin Guogang.
As soon as they heard the machine gun fire over, almost all the devils in the stabbing field fell to the ground.
Those devils who were slashing and stabbing with Lao Ran and them also hurriedly fell to the ground, and Lao Ran and a few of them also fell to the ground, not on their own initiative, but they really couldn't support it.
The three of them have become bloody people, I don't know how many knives they have been hit in, Lao Ran's double knives have also been cut open, Meng Tiandi's intestines have been left on the ground, and the people are lying on the ground and cannot move, only breathing, no qi entering.
The five fingers of Zhao Defu's left hand are gone, it is estimated that they were cut by the devil's bayonet, his chest, abdomen and even his waist and back are stained with blood, his face is full of blood, lying on the ground, spitting blood, and it seems that it is not enough.
Lao Ran didn't know how many holes there were in his body, he only knew that the blood was still flowing out, if he was an ordinary person, it was estimated that he would have lost too much blood and went into shock, that is, a strong man like them was still conscious.
Lao Ran glanced at the two of them a few times, and he didn't have the strength to say a word, he really couldn't support it, but he didn't feel pain, he just felt tired.
I was so tired that I wanted to close my eyes and sleep immediately, but I would never wake up again in this life.
Lao Ran still insisted on staring at the sky, in order to look at the world for a while, even if it was for a few more seconds, how greedy he was for everything in this world, and how nostalgic for the beauty of being a person.
Now that I'm using all my strength, I still can't hold up my eyelids that are getting heavier and heavier, okay, let's die, it turns out that death is what it feels like.
Lao Ran finally closed his eyes slowly, intoxicated in the darkness.
In fact, Lao Ran didn't close his eyes, he didn't bother until he died, and he found out when his comrades-in-arms came to clean the battlefield afterwards.
Lao Ran was too unwilling, just a few minutes after he fell, the large army on the west bank of the river launched a counterattack in advance, and the personnel and firepower were not ready, so they were still launched in advance.
For Lao Ran, everyone saw it on the other side of the river, Lao Ran's position was still holding on, but it was not going to work, in order to save Lao Ran, the main force rashly launched an attack regardless of the fact that it was not dark.
The mountain artillery on the other side of the river collectively began to fire rapidly, and a large number of shells were poured on the Japanese beachhead, and at the same time, the soldiers carried out a forced crossing of the Yishui, and the 223rd Regiment bore the brunt.
The 59th Division of the 38th Army of the Northwest Army launched a huge counterattack on the wide river, and the 112th Regiment of the 223rd Brigade was the vanguard and took the lead in forcibly crossing the Yishui.
The rampant devils will also taste the smell of shells smashing overhead, and the dense artillery has suppressed the devil's firepower to death, and the trenches on the beachhead on the shore have been plowed back and forth several times.
On the surface of the river more than 100 meters wide, the 223rd Regiment pounced on it in just over a minute, and immediately seized the beachhead after the artillery fire was extended, and immediately strengthened and began to plunge into the depth.
The devils besieged the Mu Tian brigade in Tingzitou Village, and could no longer parry, and began to flee to the east, and the captain Mu Tian sat on the ground in despair, drew his sword, and committed suicide by cutting his stomach, and before he died, he called the guards around him and gave him a few shots.
Qin Guogang and Tan Yi were unexpectedly rescued, and they were the only seeds left in the second battalion.
In this battle, the second battalion of the 223rd Regiment, with more than 500 people in the battalion, was almost wiped out, and in the end only five or six people remained; The divisional artillery battalion that followed together was also completely wiped out, and all four mountain artillery pieces were blown up.
And the devil is no better, the entire Muta brigade also has more than 600 combatants, and more than 400 people died here.
Only one squadron escaped, and now it is estimated that on the way to escape, many of them will be killed by the pursuing troops of China. Kenzo Muta, the captain of the Devil Brigade, also committed suicide in defeat.
The offensive and defensive battle of Tingzitou Village was so tragic.
When the third battalion of the 223rd regiment was cleaning the battlefield, it found Ran Deming, the commander of the second battalion, who was still staring at his eyes as if he was alive, but he was no longer breathing.
The commander of the 223rd regiment Du saw that his old subordinates were so unwilling to die, hugged Lao Ran and cried loudly, and the three armies were moved!
When cleaning up Lao Ran's relics, he found a blood-stained battle order in his pocket, and in the blank space behind it, several of his last words were written:
"First, I hope that Commander Zhang can take a look at my body in person; the second is to erect a small monument for me; The third is not to tell my wife and children about my death letter, the war has calmed down, and I hope to send them back to their hometown. ”
General Zhang Zizhong, commander of the 59th Army, received the report and immediately rushed to visit. General Zhang picked up Camp Commander Ran, who was covered in blood, and shouted Ran Deming's name repeatedly, bursting into tears.
According to Ran Deming's last wishes, Zhang Zizhong sent someone to bury his body in the "righteous land" of the Northwest Army for the burial of the dead officers and soldiers, and erected a tombstone 2 meters high and 1 meter wide for him, which was inscribed by General Zhang himself.
Lao Ran, Ran Deming, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 223rd Regiment of the 112th Brigade of the 38th Division of the 59th Army, a native of Yan'an, Shaanxi, died in Linyi on the evening of March 16, the 27th year of the Republic of China, at the age of 35.
……
According to the battle report, on the night of the 16th, the 59th Army launched an unprecedentedly fierce attack on the enemy, and fought until 4 o'clock in the morning of the 17th, and the 59th Army successfully conquered all the main positions of the Japanese army near Linyi.
By the morning of the 17th, the 59th Army had suffered more than 6,000 casualties, and in view of the heavy casualties of the 59th Army, the Fifth Theater recommended that Zhang Zizhong withdraw from the battle and move to another place to rest and recuperate.
But Zhang Zizhong was so successful that he refused to retreat. The 114th Brigade of the General Reserve of the Army was put into battle; All the mountain artillery, field artillery, and heavy mortars of the whole army advanced to the front line, took all the shells with them, and before dusk, turned all the shells towards the enemy position.
At this time, the Japanese army retreated in a hurry due to heavy casualties.
Among the bodies abandoned by the Japanese army, it was found that the 11th Wing Commander of the Sakamoto Detachment of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army, Saichiro Nagano, the leader of the 3rd Brigade, Muta Nakasa, and the leader of the 9th Squadron, were found.
