Chapter 17: The Battle (6)
The attacking Japanese 9th Division had destroyed six light tanks after your initial onslaught, and the heartbroken Lieutenant General Ryosuke Yoshika shuddered, this was all the tanks of the two tank squads; The entire Ninth Division was equipped with a total of only 8 tanks for this rapid breakthrough, and Yoshika Ryosuke did not dare to risk the remaining two tanks. "Order: The 6th Brigade will attack, the mountain artillery will carry out support operations, and it will be necessary to break through the current position at 8 p.m."
Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama, commander of the 6th Infantry Brigade, under the command of Wing Captain Izuo Osa, Wing Commander of the 7th Infantry Wing (Kanazawa), and Wing Commander of the 35th Infantry Wing (Toyama) Fuji Sueyoshi Osa; Begin to have two wing commanders launch a brigade-sized infantry attack......
"Hehe, it seems that the Japanese army is still the same, the artillery bombarded the infantry charge, and the infantry charge paid attention to the central breakthrough, and the two flanks were outflanked. It's a pity that I met me. He Jianye looked at it in the telescope and muttered,
"Ordered" the 18th Regiment to cooperate with the 2nd Battalion in positional warfare, hold its position, and not be allowed to attack; The reconnaissance company attacked on the right flank and knocked out the troops of the devils who were outflanking along the riverbank; The guard company comes with me! He Jianye ordered,
He Jianye took the guard company, carrying a large number of light machine guns, and after arranging the position on the right flank, he went out with three sniper teams......
100 meters in front of the right flank of the Xinjiaqiao position, He Jianye crawled quietly in the crater, and the crosshair of the sniper scope lassoed a Japanese officer holding a saber, "Bang!" "He Jianye's hand has risen recently, and he doesn't look at the results at all, he directly pulls the bolt, and the muzzle of the gun turns to the next target......
With the three sniper teams led by He Jianye to accurately snipe the grassroots officers of the Japanese attacking troops! By the time the Japanese attacking forces were within effective range of rifles on both sides, three percent of the officers had already been killed......
"Yaga! Ordering Iza Kazuo to send a squadron of capable veterans to break through the right flank position at one time, a small sniper wants to stop the advance of our Great Japanese Imperial Army, it's too stupid! Major General Yoshiyoshi Akiyama ordered,
Seeing that his sniper team was suppressed by the grenadiers, He Jianye made a gesture, signaled to withdraw, picked up the sniper rifle, and ran directly to the light machine gun position with a puff of smoke, without stopping, running directly to the rear.......
"Yaga! Pursue! The angry squadron leader waved his saber, and the Japanese veterans launched a tactical squad and began to chase wildly;
The guard company, which set up a light machine-gun position in the grass, after several bloody battles, turned into an old and spicy veteran, and was not in a hurry, 100 meters, 50 meters...... Zeng Da still didn't give the order, but silently picked up the grenade and pulled the drawstring..... The veteran who looked at the gesture of the company commander was not stupid, and at the same time pulled the rope of the grenade, .......and after the grenade smoked in his hand and stayed for three seconds, Zeng Da threw the grenade in his hand.
"Boom, boom, boom......" The elite squadron of the Japanese army that was attacked by grenades at close range suffered heavy casualties in an instant,
"Da, da, da......" The Czech-style roaring sound sounded, and the Japanese army had just been blown up by a grenade, and before they had time to react, they were directly wiped out by light machine guns.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw......" The Japanese squadron leader waved his saber and shouted,
.......
At 9 o'clock in the evening, both China and Japan were red-eyed, and there was no attempt to retreat, He Jianye could not retreat, and the Japanese army received a death order that they must take the big field and surround the elite soldiers of ** Luodian, and the two sides launched a bloody battle at Xinjiaqiao......
"Regiment commander, we don't have many mortar shells! There are only three shots left in each door, and there is only one flare left! "The commander of the artillery battalion ran over and reported,
"Well, got it. Wait for my order to open fire! He Jianye said,
At half past nine o'clock in the evening, the exhausted devils who were fighting finally stopped attacking, and He Jianye organized the brothers who could still kick the anger to eat the multigrain cakes sent from the rear with cold water.......
"The battalion and company commanders count the ammunition situation and casualties," He Jianye took a bite of the multigrain cake and swallowed it with water..... yelled at the officer who was frantically stuffing something into his mouth,
"It's been more than 15 hours, and Zhou Qingxiang seems to have forgotten about us! No, I have to give an explanation to these brothers who believe in me! Thinking of this, He Jianye stood in the trench, looking at the tired soldiers, not caring that blood was still flowing on his hands, legs, and scalp.......
"Commander He, our eighteenth regiment can still fight a total of 503 people, and there are still 6 rifle bullets per person; 1 grenade per person is not guaranteed, there are 4 light machine guns, and 5 magazines for each bullet; Heavy machine guns were completely destroyed. Mortars and personnel were all destroyed, and there were still 4 rounds of 82mm shells. "The only surviving battalion commander of the Eighteenth Regiment came over and reported,
"Regiment commander, the first battalion commander just went to Sun Qiang, and the third battalion commander was seriously injured and was already lying in the anti-artillery hole behind; With the addition of the reconnaissance company and the guard company, there are still 900 people left in the regiment who can fight, of which 86 are seriously wounded and 100 are lightly wounded; There is a serious shortage of rifle bullets, less than 7 rounds per person, and there are 6 light machine guns, and the bullets are evenly balanced, which can ensure that each light machine gun has 5 magazines; The heavy machine guns were all destroyed, 2 mortars of 60mm caliber remained, 5 shells, 3 82mm mortars, plus 4 shells sent by the 18th Regiment, and 9 shells. Commander, when will the reinforcements arrive! We can't hold on anymore! Lenzaki asked,
"Brothers, you are all heroes, whether you are dead or alive, you are all heroes of the Chinese nation; The devil opposite us is a full division of devils, and our 3,000 people can resist a whole day's attack in the hastily constructed field fortifications, and I can proudly tell you that you are all warriors, heroes, and have done your duty as soldiers; Even more than all the soldiers have paid, in fact, I am also asking myself, when will the reinforcements arrive? When can we pull down and kick our breath? But, unfortunately, I don't know either; So someone asked me, why didn't we withdraw? I can tell you, because the pigs and dogs on the other side will not let us withdraw, and if we withdraw, they will kill our fathers, and we will kill our wives, daughters, and sisters, and rob us of the last grain of food in our house; Until we destroy the country and the species! He Jianye stood in the trench, shouted at the surviving officers and soldiers, shook off Zeng Da and Yang Xiaoshi and came up to take his hand, He Jianye continued,
"Brethren, we have done everything that a soldier can do, and now I am not a regimental commander, nor an officer; I'm just your eldest brother, I know you're tired, you want to rest, you want to go back to see your wife and children, and now, if any of you want to go back to the rear, I can give you a certificate that you are not deserters, but have carried my orders to the rear. Now you can sign up! He Jianye shouted,
The deafening shouts of "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death......." filled the entire position, and He Jianye, who reacted, looked at these loyal and brave national soldiers, his eyes moistened.......
"Who said that the Chinese soldiers are bloodless men, all of them are here!" He Jianye thought in his heart,
"If we can, I think we can continue to fight the Japanese in the next life; If we can hold out until we get out of the position alive, I'll be the last one to get out of the position! Thank you, brothers, thank you for the great sacrifices you have made for our parents, wives and children, and children in the rear, and I solemnly promise here: if reinforcements do not arrive, there is no order to retreat, even if I am alone, even if the ammunition in our hands is exhausted, as long as I am alive, with bayonets, stones, fists, teeth, and even every part of my body, I He Jianye will not flinch! Fight to the end with the Japanese devils! He Jianye yelled,
The deafening shouts of "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death......." grew louder and louder......
