Chapter 60: The Fierce Battle of Yishui (10)

On the night of May 11, 1938, just after dark, the 16th Regiment, except for the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Battalion, which were responsible for the position guards, mobilized and transported the wounded, and under the rotation of all the brothers of the guard company and the reconnaissance company, more than 1,200 wounded were all transferred to the other side of Yishui, and shipped to Hankou through Xin'an under the support of the division headquarters......

When He Jianye returned, he lied about the materials replenished by the division headquarters, and got thousands of catties of meat for the baggage company and the transportation company to transport back;

At the regimental headquarters, the wounded soldiers were all transferred, the entire underground bunker was much empty, and the members of the medical team were also idle, most of them were resting......

"Commander, do you want to mess with the little devils again tonight; Lest tomorrow the little devils beat us again? Leng Qi came in and asked,

"I won't go today, I guess the devil is resting during the day, and he is waiting for us to deliver it to the door; Their artillery positions should have been constructed, and if they go, they will be bombarded at a pace! Rest, pay attention to the vigilance of the defense line, tomorrow will be a difficult day......" He Jianye said,

"Captain He, are you done?" Zhu Ying's voice sounded in the regiment headquarters, Leng Qi saw that there was someone, said that he was going to arrange the night guard, and immediately said goodbye and went out......

"Doctor Zhu, it's so late, what's the matter?" He Jianye asked,

"Hmph, I'll take something." After saying that, he picked up the clothes on the table and turned around to leave,

When He Jianye saw this, he didn't understand that it was the military uniform of a little girl!

"Thank you! If you don't know it's yours when you wake up today, you can't send it over. He Jianye said apologetically,

"Hmph, it seems that you have a lot of wives! But it's all good for you! With so many wives, why do you want to come out to the battlefield, you are a rich young master, shouldn't you be the master of the family, guarding your wife and beautiful concubine? Isn't that beautiful? Zhu Ying turned on the taunt mode,

"Hehe, the Japanese are here, or they come out to fight the devil, and when the devil arrives at home, my wife is afraid that she will become a plaything of the Japanese, so this is also another kind of protection!" He Jianye said,

The sudden silence of the air made the two of them uncomfortable, Zhu Ying looked at He Jianye, lowered his head and said,

"Be careful on the battlefield, I'm leaving." After saying that, he ran out of the regiment headquarters......

On May 12, the forward position of the 16th Regiment ......

From 7 o'clock in the morning, the Japanese began shelling,

......The roar of the heavy artillery of the Japanese army and the "boom" of shells up to 150 mm fell on the Gaozhuang defense line, and the smoke and dust stirred up made it impossible for the sunlight in the sky to penetrate, and dozens of houses in Gaozhuang collapsed and burned one after another in the bombardment of the shells......

The officers and men of the 16th Regiment prayed in low voices in the underground bunkers, and the observation posts in the individual bunkers on the defensive line were gambling their luck...... As time passed, the 30-minute-long shelling finally gradually stopped;

The Japanese artillery completely covered the defense line of Gaozhuang for several days, a total of five trenches were subjected to a large number of shells, the communication trenches were buried, and the battlefield was full of large craters left by the explosion of Japanese shells, and the burning wood crackled and wailed......

As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, He Jianye was worried that the observation posts would all be killed in the high-density shelling, so he immediately climbed out of the trench with his hands and feet, and crawled towards the first trench of the defensive line......

In the telescope, the Japanese army was close to 400 meters, and there was still no whistle, "Sure enough, the four observation posts have been killed" He Jianye thought,

When he turned his head, he found that Zeng Da had followed, "Blow the whistle and tell the brothers to go to the trenches." He Jianye ordered,

"Toot, toot, toot......"

The shrill whistle finally sounded......

The brothers of the second battalion finally went to the defense line under the leadership of Leng Qi, and He Jianye looked at the Japanese army close to 300 meters,

"Lengqi, the Japanese army attacking on the opposite side is a full brigade; The light machine gunners were ordered to start firing at 200 meters into the Japanese army, suppressing the advance speed of the Japanese troops, remembering, hitting a magazine to change places. The rifle fired at 150 meters. ”

"Let Huang Wujun move the mortar team to the third line of trenches and stand by." He Jianye turned his head and confessed to Zeng Da,

"Bang, bang, bang......" The Japanese army entered 300 meters, and the veterans of the devil were already using the 38-type rifles to carry out accurate spot fire suppression, and the bullets were fired into the soil next to the trench to make a "poof" sound, and soldiers were constantly hit, and the wounded were urgently transported to the medical point by the soldiers of the transport company......

Since no one fired at the positions of the 16th Regiment, the Japanese machine guns had not yet begun to suppress......

The Japanese entered 200 meters, "light machine guns, fire!" Lenzaki yelled loudly as the Czech style in his hand began to roar......

"Dada, da......" As the light machine guns began to fire regularly, the Japanese tactical squad began to fall continuously......

The grenadiers of the "dong" devils began to fire at the light machine gun fire point, and the light machine gun also began to run around the trench to shoot......

"Da Da Da, Da Da Da ......" "Dong Dong Dong, Dong"

The crooked handles followed by the Japanese began to roar, and the Type 92 heavy machine guns behind the position also began to suppress the trench fire of the 16th Regiment......

"Regiment commander, on the left side of the position, a squadron of devils has been found outflanking; On the right, along the bank of the Yishui River, a squadron of devils was also found, and they had exchanged fire with the third battalion and three companies. Yang Xiaoshi bent over and reported,

"Zeng Da, Yang Xiaoshi, with a guard company and a reconnaissance company, equipped with four mortars, will kill the devils who outflank the left flank for me, and then quickly support the right flank." He Jianye ordered,

"Yes, Commander, be careful yourself." Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi ran away,

"Herald, order Huang Wujun's mortars to fire at the heavy machine gun position behind the devil, and after one round, regardless of whether the heavy machine gun position is knocked out or not, immediately move. Beware of the devil's retaliatory fire. He Jianye ordered,

"Boom, boom, boom" With the opening of the artillery battalion, the Japanese heavy machine gun position suffered a serious blow, and 6 of the 12 scattered Type 92 heavy machine guns were destroyed in a round of artillery fire, and the remaining few intact heavy machine guns were also heavily injured......

Less than 5 minutes after the artillery battalion opened fire, the third line of trenches was hit by accurate point fire from Japanese infantry artillery......

"Let's hope the artillery battalion isn't slow! If the mortars are gone, it's over. He Jianye thought,

"Commander, the devil has entered 100 meters." Leng Qi shouted,

"Order the heavy machine guns on both flanks to open fire." He Jianye said,

"Knock knock, knock knock......" As the Makqin heavy machine gun began to fire, the tactical team of the Japanese assault was shot in large numbers. 100 meters in front of the position of the 16th Regiment could not be advanced an inch......

The infantry artillery of the "boom" devils began to bombard the heavy machine-gun fortifications......

"Regiment commander, Company Commander Zeng asked me to come back and report that the devil squadron on the left flank has been repulsed, and Company Commander Yang has left a platoon to continue monitoring, and now it is on the way to support the right flank......"

The fierce battle continued until 12 noon, and the Japanese still did not break through the position of the 16th Regiment, and began to retreat after throwing down more than 300 corpses......

"Leng Qi, order the troops to return to their bunkers and leave two observation posts; Refill the ammunition and count the casualties! He Jianye ordered,

"Yes, Commander. They immediately returned to their bunkers and returned the wounded brothers to the medical center. Legasaki ordered loudly.
