Chapter 177: Bloody Battle at Phoenix Tsui (10)
The Fenghuangzui and Nanchangpu positions, which were under heavy artillery fire, were not better off because of the loss of the Ma'anshan position, and the Japanese air and artillery wings continued to pour out firepower, depending on the consumption of ammunition whose stocks were about to expire......
Major General Aoki Seiichi of the 136th Brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army took a telegram from the 123rd Wing Kijima Kabe Oosa, and walked quickly to Junrokuro Matsuura;
"Division commander, the 123rd Wing of our brigade attacked Ma'anshan at 10 o'clock in the morning, but failed to occupy the position under the desperate counterattack of a regiment of the Chinese Army, the 123rd Wing Commander Kijima Kasuo Osaku asked the artillery wing to carry out artillery bombardment, and asked the aviation to block the reinforcement road of the people behind Ma'anshan, and the 123rd Wing will definitely capture Ma'anshan before sunset today." Aoki Seiichi reported,
"Well, Yo Si! Kijima is still very bushido-spirited! The first attack can capture Ma'anshan, which is heavily defended by the Chinese people; Order: The artillery wing immediately shelled the positions of the people of Ma'anshan, notified the army aviation, and blocked the road of the people of Ma'anshan with aircraft and aerial bombs; Aoki-kun, tell Kijima-kun that the artillery wing will shell the positions of the Shina people in Ma'anshan for an hour, and I hope that Kijima-kun can send a good news of the capture of Ma'anshan as soon as possible, and open a breakthrough for our 106th Division to break through the defense line in front of it! Junrokuro Matsuura ordered,
"Hay!" Seiichi Aoki and Yoshitaka Akiyama were ordered at the same time......
In the Ma'anshan position, the national army, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally waited for a call back from the division headquarters.
"Order your troops to defend Ma'anshan to the death, reinforcements are already on the way, and it is expected to arrive in Ma'anshan in an hour."
The 19th Division of the 70th Army next to the Datianshan Defense Line was the 19th Division of the 70th Army next to the Great Tianshan Mountain, and the 19th Division immediately sent reinforcements to Ma'anshan, but in the face of the bombing of the Japanese devils, a reinforced regiment could only abandon the main road and avoid the bombing of the Japanese army from time to time along the mountain path......
At this time, on Ma'anshan, the remnants began to clean up the position to repair the trenches, the main position of Ma'anshan, there were originally two trenches behind, but the troops were almost exhausted in the counterattack just now, and there was no way to divide the troops to defend the trenches behind, so they could only carry the trenches on this line, the position was quiet, and from time to time there was the sound of the brothers digging with tools, and many brothers gave up digging trenches, and the craters left by the heavy artillery bombardment of the Japanese devils were simply repaired, Create a comfortable grave for yourself......
In the counterattack just now, the heavy machine guns did not come up, so although there are only more than 200 people, there are still four Makqin heavy machine guns, and now there is no way to hide them, so they put themselves in position together, and simply made a bunker, and the remnants are carrying the remaining ammunition from the trenches behind, and the left and right are all trembling, and it is useless to keep the ammunition......
The Czech light machine guns used in the charge were not damaged much, and they were collected by the remnants, and the firepower of these more than 200 remnants is now extremely powerful, there are more than a dozen light machine guns, and four heavy machine guns, and there are still a lot of bullets, which are now arranged on the trenches by the brothers, ready to use the crossfire of the machine guns to fight with the little devils......
It's a pity that there are not many grenades, plus the ones brought up from behind, there are only five boxes left, although these wooden-handled grenades are rough and dry, but they explode and kill people without ambiguity, and they are the sharp weapons of the national army's defense and attack, and now each remnant soldier has less than one, plus less than 200 of them collected from the fallen brethren; In the counterattack just now, too many grenades were consumed, and the ammunition reserves of the national army were so pitiful that they had to wait for the transport company in the rear to come up at night......
The trenches of the remnants were still being repaired, and there was a "chirp!" overhead. This is the roar of the approaching heavy artillery shells of the devils......
"Devil shelling! Take cover! Take cover! "The commander of the regiment, who was sweating profusely, shouted at the remnants of the soldiers who were repairing the trenches,
"Boom!"
Ma'anshan's position was submerged in a cloud of fire and smoke, and countless fragments of stumps were blasted into the air and then fell heavily, and a rain of blood fell under the sky.
The fortifications that the remnants had just built were flattened in such a violent explosion, and the whole position seemed to be plowed, and the earth and rocks raised by the explosion flew everywhere.
The remnants of the soldiers lay dead in the trenches, the roar of the explosions made them feel like they had entered purgatory, their ears buzzing, and the splashes of explosives and dirt hit the remnants of the soldiers;
"Ahh
The remnants of the shrapnel screamed in a terrible scream, but were soon drowned in the explosion......
After an hour, the explosions finally stopped, and the remnants of the soldiers' positions were in ruins.
"Phew!" The remnants of the living soldier shook their heads and crawled out of the dirt, and the dirt on their heads and bodies slid down into the ruins, and they crawled on the ground and looked at the broken positions......
As far as the eye could see, the entire position had become a mess, large and small craters made up, and most of the figures of more than 200 remnants were submerged in the trenches, and he saw several fragmented corpses lying on the edge of the crater, but they were already blurred with flesh and blood, and he didn't know whose it was, and he couldn't see the faces at all......
The roar of the devil's plane was far away, and only loud cursing and painful howls remained in the position, and the soldiers of the supplementary company got up from the trenches unkempt, covered in mud and falling.
"Grass your ancestor, damn little devil!" The gray uniform of a company commander who crawled out of the dirt was no longer recognizable in its original color, covered in dust, except for the fact that the stone that had been blown by the air wave and slashed his arm through a groove.
The company commander's eyes swept over the position, and he saw the living brothers crawling out of the dirt one by one, but he did not see the familiar figure of the regiment commander......
"What about the regimental commander? A few of you hurry up and look for it, and the rest of you will check the weapons and ammunition, and the devil is coming up. The remaining company commander took a deep breath and shouted an order,
A bloody corpse that had been blown up had been pulled out of the dirt, and a corpse with the rank of colonel was bloody and fleshy, and half of his head had been gone, and it was obvious from his clothing that he was the regimental commander who led them to fight back; The remaining company commander swallowed his saliva, and a chill rushed to the back of his head, and at the same time, his heart, which had never wavered in the face of devils' heavy artillery and aircraft bombing, began to twitch slightly......
"Company commander, regimental commander is dead; What to do? A brother who was pulling the corpse cried,
"Damn, the little devil killed our regiment leader, this is a blood feud! Fight with the little devils! Go to the back of the person and inform the communication squad to retreat! Their mission is to protect the radio station and deliver orders, and it is our job to defend it! Who goes? "The head of the regiment who was still roaring and cheering everyone on just now. In an instant, it turned into a cold corpse, so that the hearts of these remaining brothers were full of sadness and anger, no one squeaked, silently checked the ammunition, the cruel battle had just begun, this was not the time to escape, it was just the bombardment of the little devil artillery......
Seeing that all the brothers did not squeak, the only remaining officer, the company commander looked at it, pointed to a slightly naïve brother and said,
"Monkey, you go! If you go, you don't have to come back, just withdraw with the communication class! Seeing that the teacher made it clear, we are not a bad seed! ”
"Company commander, I'm not going! I want to avenge the big brother of the regiment leader! The monkey said with a stubborn face,
"Fuck, obey orders! Just go! The company commander slapped the face of this obviously underage brother,
"Company commander!" The monkey cried,
The "go" company commander put his foot on the monkey's ass and pointed to the back......
"Take care, company commander, I'll come back when I go! I'll be back with reinforcements! The monkey cried and ran to the regimental headquarters in the rear......
