The second brigade of the fifteenth infantry wing, which had been put into the Chinese battlefield at the time of the 77 incident, fought all the way from North China, and the second brigade had not encountered this situation, and began to attack in the early morning, and attacked for nearly three hours, but did not make any advances, and did not even break through the first line of defense, but they suffered heavy casualties. Ｘ

"Order the third squadron, give me support for the second squadron, attack it, at all costs, if you can't take it, go to seppuku!" The captain of the second squadron looked at the third squadron that had not been fully invested, and a wave of anger came out from the heart, the second squadron fought so badly, and the third squadron has been "covering" in the back, and the combat casualties are less than one-third of the second squadron.

"Concentrate all the remaining infantry guns, as well as rapid-fire guns, avoid their battle defense guns, and open the way for the forward troops to hit the first-line positions of the ** in the rear."

"Captain, if you let the remaining infantry guns and rapid-fire guns not get close and fire at the rear, it is very easy to cause accidental injury." The deputy captain beside him reminded in a low voice.

"I can't manage so much now, give me the order to attack with all my might! I'm talking about offense! ”

"Yes!" The signal corps soon went to the front and conveyed orders to the infantry squadrons of two fronts.

The front-line battle is tight, the third squadron is in the rear of the second squadron, using light and heavy machine guns to support the assault of the second squadron, the captain's order has reached the ears of the captain of the third squadron, the hand of the captain of the third squadron holding the command knife has turned white, the previous attack, he really did not intend to preserve his strength, but he thought that two squadrons pressed up, one squadron directly assaulted, and the opposite squadron would collapse, but until now, the facts have proved how ridiculous his guess is, and he fought for three hours. Even the first line of defense was not taken down, and the captain gave another death order, for the sake of the order, for the honor of the troops, it was necessary to rush.

While sending soldiers to inform Captain Sakamoto, who was fighting desperately not far away, he pulled out his command knife, stood up, and looked at the more than 100 officers and men of the Third Squadron who were fighting around him.

"Gentlemen, the squadron on the opposite side is actually the most tenacious enemy our army has encountered on the battlefield in China, but it is this kind of enemy army that is our opponent, Gentlemen, today, let us use the Yamato soul to launch a decisive assault to defeat them, firmly believe that the imperial army is undefeated, long live the emperor!"

After the squadron leader finished speaking, he took off his military cap, drew his command knife, and let out a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The soldiers of the 3rd Squadron were agitated, and one by one they bowed up, and the paper front of the 38 rifle with bayonets in their hands made an assault gesture, as did the 2nd Squadron in front, and the squadron leader, Captain Sakamoto, roared with red eyes and a command knife held high.

"Onboard! Assault! ”

More than 200 Japanese soldiers braved the rain of bullets and launched a decisive assault on the positions of the preparatory battalion.

"Company commander, the devils are all up!" He Kun pointed to the Japanese army in front of the battle.

"Come up, it's good to come, it's just here to die, call me, you can't withdraw without an order!" Qiu Wei shouted.

The dense formation just provided convenience for the firing of the first company, and one bullet after another was fired at the Japanese army, and the mortars and anti-aircraft artillery in the rear would not let go of this opportunity and fired at the Japanese army with their lives.

Boom a battle defense shell fell into the crowd of Japanese soldiers and exploded, blowing down five Japanese soldiers, after the wounded soldiers fell to the ground, still holding their rifles, crawling forward, shouting slogans on board,

"Boom" This explosion was an infantry artillery shell, the Japanese infantry artillery squadron from the rear, firing from a long distance, did not grasp the shooting of Zhu Yuan, and the first shot was accidentally injured.

There were many more Japanese troops, killed and wounded by bullets from the first and third companies.

The position of the first company was also being attacked by the Japanese infantry guns and rapid-fire guns that completely ignored the accidental wounds, and suffered a lot of casualties, and the Japanese troops in front of them were completely desperately rushing in, relying on firepower alone, they could not stop it at all, the two armies were close at hand, and many officers and men of the first company had already put on bayonets or copied sapper shovels, and were ready to go white.

Qiu Wei carried a shell gun, fired three shots before the Japanese rushed in, and then picked up the rifle on one side and jumped out of the trench violently.

"Kill!"

The officers and men of the first company crossed the trench and rushed forward at the last moment before the Japanese were about to rush in, and the two groups of people collided and began a life-and-death struggle.

Zhang Wei picked up the rifle, the first company has held out to the last moment, from the moment they put on the position, they are destined not to retreat, retreat can indeed preserve strength, the preparation battalion can also rely on the depth of the second or third line of defense to block step by step, but the time to delay the Japanese army will also be greatly reduced, the Japanese army has taken out most of the troops, after abandoning the first-line position, the second and third lines of defense will not be blocked for long.

The Japanese army also took out the greatest strength to fight, and now the two sides are competing who can play with their lives, who can carry it better, what Zhang Wei has to do is to carry the position desperately before the arrival of reinforcements, the heavy machine guns in the position of the three companies are all boiled after high-intensity continuous shooting, and the cooling water cylinder rises bursts of white steam.

The officers and men of the second and third companies in the second-line position put on their bayonets one by one and looked at Zhang Wei, and by this time, everyone knew what to do.

"Brothers, the dog's day is crazy, a company of brothers is wrenched with them, they are crazy, our courage cannot be worse than theirs, everyone, follow me!"

Less than three minutes after the first company connected with the enemy, the officers and men of the 2nd and 3rd companies rushed out of their positions and fought the Japanese troops together with the officers and men of the 1st company.

The officers and men of the first company were fighting with the Japanese army, and there was a shout of killing from the rear.

"The second and third companies are up!"

"It's the battalion commander!"

The second and third companies joined the battle group, and the morale of the officers and men of the first company was greatly boosted, and the Japanese army launched a white-knuckle assault on the reserve battalion in order to attack the position, and the preparation battalion launched a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese with the purpose of holding the position. The two armies were mixed up, and the Japanese infantry artillery could no longer fire at the preparatory battalion, and conversely, the mortars and anti-aircraft artillery on the position of the preparatory battalion could not kill the Japanese troops.

In the middle of the day, hundreds of people fought together, the battlefield was full of smoke, and the positions were full of dead bodies and weapons.

"Kill!"

Zhang Wei used the three bullets in the rifle magazine to knock down the two Japanese soldiers, and stabbed fiercely, the enemy in front of him was definitely a Japanese veteran, after Zhang Wei's stab failed, he quickly gave Zhang Wei a backstab, pointing directly at Zhang Wei's chest and abdomen, Zhang Wei retreated to the left, grabbed the Japanese rifle, the Japanese army shrewdly collected the gun and stabbed hard, Zhang Wei crossed the gun, and smashed it with the butt of the gun upside down. smashed into the body of the 38 rifle, Zhang Wei took advantage of the Japanese army's unstable foothold, and pounced violently, the Japanese army lost its center of gravity and fell to the ground, and Zhang Wei pressed the rifle against his neck until he was strangled to death by the bolt handle of the Zhongzheng rifle.

Two squadrons of Japanese troops against three infantry companies of the squadron, everyone on the battlefield went crazy, the Japanese army had never seen such a crazy squadron, fighting with rifles and all the weapons that could be used, in the previous North China operation, never encountered such a situation, and never had such a large-scale white-knives battle.

The two Japanese squadron leaders held command knives in their respective positions and slashed left and right, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers tried their best to block the onrushing Chinese soldiers for them, and Captain Sakamoto brandished the command knife and slashed a Chinese soldier who rushed in, and the Chinese soldier did not retreat, and rushed up again with a Zhongzheng rifle. In order to protect the squadron leader, the two Japanese soldiers around him stood in front with bayonets, and two bayonets pierced through the soldiers' chests, and one quickly pulled out the bayonet and smashed the steel helmet of the Chinese soldier, and the remaining force of the butt smashed the head of the Chinese soldier, and blood flowed everywhere.

"Baga" Captain Sakamoto was furious, when did he need two imperial soldiers to deal with a Chinese soldier! Before the bayonet inserted in the Chinese soldier's body was pulled out, Sakamoto angrily stabbed the command knife into the soldier's body, and the excessive blood loss finally consumed his life.

The soldier fell to the ground weakly, and at the last moment of his life pulled the grenade from his waist.

"Grenades!" On the battlefield of large-scale white-knuckle warfare, there is not much room to cast, and the same is true for dodging shrapnel, and when a few people see the grenade, it is too late.

After a burst of explosions, only flesh and blood were left everywhere and a broken Japanese command knife.

This is the first squadron leader of the 2nd Brigade to die in eastern Henan, who died from a grenade drawn by a Chinese soldier before his death.

War can change people's hearts, when a person pulls a grenade, for many people who are stabbed, death becomes less terrible, a second explosion began to appear in the crowd, many of the soldiers of the preparation battalion who were stabbed chose to pull the pad, some pulled the grenade, and more chose to hold on to the Japanese soldiers who assassinated them, and obtained the opportunity for their comrades-in-arms, the Japanese army was only more than 200 people, and the preparation battalion was three companies, more than 300 living soldiers.

A deputy squad leader of the first company hugged the Japanese soldier in front of him, and with a bayonet stuck in his chest, two soldiers of the preparation battalion took the opportunity to run and stabbed seven or eight bloody holes in the back of the Japanese soldier, and the deputy squad leader and the Japanese soldier fell to the ground almost at the same time.
