Chapter 58, Daxing Station

The two of them were greeting each other, and suddenly there was a sound of "squeak~~" from a distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Chi has been in the army for more than ten years, and has fought countless big and small battles, and he immediately judged that there were shells flying over, and shouted at that time: "Lie down!" He pulled Qin Yuan to the ground.

The shells exploded a few hundred meters from the camp, sending up a thick cloud of black smoke.

Even if he was so far away, Qin Yuan could still feel the trembling of the earth, obviously this was the devil's heavy artillery.

The brothers in the camp also rushed out one by one at this time, and everyone was a little shocked when they saw the big crater blown up in the distance.

If this explodes in the camp, it is estimated that most of the brothers will have to see Hades in a daze.

Qin Yuan got up from the ground, and only a wry smile remained in his heart.

The devil's heavy artillery is so powerful, and he doesn't know that he can hold out for a few days when he goes to the position immediately.

Due to the consumption of the bullets on the brothers after several battles and the lack of ammunition left, some have even reached single digits.

Qin Yuan had to open his mouth to ask Zhang Chi for help.

When Zhang Chi heard this, he even said that it was easy to do, but it was not easy to say anything else, and now he is relatively rich in guns and ammunition.

He waved a soldier and whispered a few words, and soon several carts were pushed over.

The carts were full of rifles and bullets, including the devil's 38 rifle and the German-made Mauser rifle.

In the team, many brothers with Hanyang-made and old sleeves ran over to change into Mauser rifles, and one by one they couldn't put it down in their hands, and kept pulling the bolt.

Qin Yuan originally saw that the Mauser rifle was also very fond of it, after all, this was one of the best guns in this era.

But when he thought about it, he didn't think it was appropriate.

The Mauser rifle has a high recoil, which is not suitable for novices, and the resupply of bullets is also a problem.

It is far less cost-effective than holding a 38 rifle, the recoil is small, even a recruit can fight eight or nine without leaving ten, and he can also nourish the war with war and get supplies from the devil.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan asked those who took Mauser rifles to replace them with 38 rifles.

Although everyone didn't understand, they did what the regiment commander requested, anyway, it was better than the old sleeve in their hands.

Zhang Chi also didn't understand Qin Yuan's approach, but as an outsider, he couldn't ask in detail, so he could only pretend that he didn't see it and was silent.

After changing their rifles, everyone began to line up to receive the ammunition.

I saw cotton bullet belts scattered on the cart, some of which had blood stains and bullet holes.

Some of the veterans understood that it was taken from the bodies of their fallen brothers, and everyone fell silent.

Silently picked up the cotton bullet belt and carried it on his back, and under the leadership of Qin Yuan, the independent regiment set off towards Daxing Station.

Zhang Ying was left behind by him.

Going to the front line, life and death were uncertain, he didn't worry about Zhang Ying and a girl going to the battlefield, so he deliberately left Zhang Ying and asked Zhang Chi to help take care of it.

The sky in the northeast is drifting with snowflakes, the water of the Nenjiang River is roaring, and a group of Chinese soldiers who are not afraid of death are engaged in a bloody battle on the banks of the Nenjiang River for the sake of the country and the nation.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qin Yuan led people to Daxing Station.

In the early hours of this morning, that is, at 3 o'clock in the dawn of November 5, the Japanese army dispatched a total of more than 8,000 troops to storm the positions of the Chinese defenders on the north bank of the Nenjiang River.

More than 20 planes and more than 100 artillery pieces were dispatched to press our troops from the air to the land to cover the Japanese army's crossing of the river.

Due to the heavy enemy artillery fire, the defending troops suffered heavy losses and had to temporarily retreat to the flanks of the ferry.

Not long after Qin Yuan led people to the Daxing station position, before he could take a breath, the devil's artillery was ready to come again.

Qin Yuan hurriedly beckoned his brothers to hide in the anti-artillery hole in the trench.

These anti-artillery holes are dug very deeply, the soil is tamped, and wood is erected on them, so as long as the devil's shells do not accurately fall on the anti-artillery holes, the threat is actually not great.

This is also the reason why on the frontal battlefield, it can hold out for so long under such fierce artillery fire from devils.

Qin Yuan and the others covered their ears and waited in the cave with their mouths open, and it was not until twenty minutes passed that the earth slowly stopped shaking.

At this time, the trenches in many places had been razed to the ground by artillery fire. Several anti-artillery holes were blown down, and the people inside never came out again.

Nearly noon, the Japanese army crossed the river under artillery fire, and after completing the assembly on the north bank, launched a large-scale charge to attack the Daxing position.

The battle is going on very anxiously, and it has already repelled three waves of attacks by devils.

From noon to afternoon, there were fewer and fewer brothers on the position, and the devils attacked more and more fiercely.

Qin Yuan was stabbed in his left arm, and the bayonet left an eye on his arm, which hurt very much. He felt like he couldn't even hold the gun steadily.

Just now, the third wave of the devil's attack directly hit the position, and the two sides launched a tragic white-edged battle.

A veteran under Ma Zhanshan didn't even have time to put on the bayonet before he started hand-to-hand combat with the devil who rushed to the position, but how could his fists and feet resist the bayonet.

The veteran with a pierced chest gritted his teeth and pounced on the smirkling devil and pulled the grenade on his body.

There was an explosion, and the two of them turned into corpses together, scattered on the battlefield.

Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan suddenly thought of a very famous sentence in later generations: Those who rushed to the front became martyrs, those who followed behind became heroes, and those who only shouted but did not rush became generals!

…………

Under the heavy artillery fire of the Japanese army, the entire position was like a small boat in a storm, and it was possible to be destroyed at any time.

Qin Yuan's regiment stood in this monstrous wave, defending the glory of the Chinese soldiers with his body and life.

At this time, the 2nd Infantry Brigade Wu Delin Regiment and the 1st Cavalry Brigade Salib Regiment reinforced by the Provincial Defense Army arrived in time and jumped into the position to fight the Japanese army.

When Ma Zhanshan was in the midst of fierce fighting on the front line, Jin Kuibi, chief of staff of the Provincial Defense Army, and more than 10 guards went straight to the Daxing front line in large and small cars.

Under the bombardment of Japanese artillery, the group drove at full speed, turned left and right, dodged craters one after another, and splashed up bursts of dust.

Ma Zhanshan ordered the driver to approach the place where the battle was most intense at the front as fast as possible

At this time, three Japanese planes spun down at a low altitude, dropped several bombs in succession, and chased and strafed with machine guns. Around Ma Zhanshan's car shop, shrapnel flew sideways, and the bullets fell like rain, but fortunately there were no casualties, the car did not turn off, and went straight to the Daxing position, and the situation was very dangerous.

When the defenders of the position saw that the commander-in-chief, General Ma, was rushing to meet with death, they immediately burst into laughter and their morale was high.

In the evening, the Japanese army began to retreat across the river, and the provincial defense army pursued the victory until the river bank. Ma Zhanshan also ordered the defenders to surround a part of Zhang Haipeng's puppet army, which was cooperating with the Japanese attack, in the area of the river beach and quagmire, and quickly defeated it. By nightfall, there was no trace of the Japanese army on the north bank of the river.

On the 5th, the Japanese Kwantung Army transferred two additional brigades and three squadrons of artillery, with a total of more than 8,000 troops, but they were still driven back to the south bank of the Nenjiang River, leaving behind more than 700 corpses.

The defenders, together with Qin Yuan's troops, also suffered heavy casualties.
