Chapter 41: The Flesh Mill 6

The Japanese soldiers in the distance tried to swim through the water again, this time they were very smart, first diving to the water point, and only showing their heads to ventilate when they reached the middle of the river or almost to the shore, this group of Japanese soldiers should be Japanese soldiers with better water nature. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tie Zhu's eyes lit up when he saw the movements of the Japanese soldiers, and he immediately had a way, when he was a child playing peek-a-boo, the tiger in the village used this method, and he hid for a long time, and finally the anxious adults in the family looked everywhere, and he slowly crawled out of the water.

Tie Zhu took out his bayonet, cut a few reeds, and found a few relatively complete and long ones and put them on the ground.

After carefully looking around, no one seemed to notice its location here, and slowly stepped one foot into the water.

The reed is not big, but it is just connected to the Qi River and extends out about one or two meters.

The iron pillar walked slowly in the water, his movements were very light, and he was afraid that the ripples caused by his movements would attract the attention of the Japanese soldiers.

The depth of the Qi River Tiezhu didn't know, but when he walked about a meter or more, the water had already overflowed to his waist, Tiezhu put the reed rod in his hand into his mouth, slowly bent over, and the whole person was submerged in the water.

The reed pole is relatively long, the iron pillar helmet is placed next to his buttocks, and the whole person sits at the bottom of the water, with his head tilted, and his posture is very strange and uncomfortable.

About a minute later, a Japanese soldier on the shore appeared sneakily, holding the 38 rifle in his hand, carefully checking the surrounding position.

Tie Zhu hid in the water and didn't know anything, the gunfire outside was dense, he couldn't hear the movement around him clearly, and now he regretted hiding in the water a little, and now this posture was very uncomfortable.

The devil carefully inspected the surrounding area, and found nothing except a broken arm in the reeds.

After about ten minutes, the iron pillar slowly peeked out of the reeds, and all kinds of things hung on it, such as water weeds and dead leaves.

The bridge had been repaired, grafted together by the Japanese soldiers, and the iron pillars didn't know how they did it, but it was indeed repaired.

The devils piled up simple fortifications on both sides of the bridge, set up machine guns, and there were constantly Japanese people going back and forth on the bridge as if checking something.

The fighting in the town was still fierce, and the Kuomintang army and the Japanese soldiers continued to fight building by building.

The superb marksmanship and skillful cooperation of the Japanese soldiers caused heavy casualties to the Kuomintang army.

The outlying positions of the 1st and 3rd Battalions defending the east had all been lost, and after losing more than 200 corpses, they retreated into the town in disarray.

The battle entered a state of scorching, and the warriors on both sides fought desperately and bloodily.

A Kuomintang soldier held on to a small building, was shot five times, and finally pulled a grenade, and died with two devils.

The Japanese soldiers also went crazy, and rushed into the small building held by the Kuomintang army with a grenade with a string, and died with all the Kuomintang troops in the building.

Every second there are casualties, and every second there are soldiers who sleep forever on this land.

The Kuomintang army has begun to adapt to street fighting, and the casualty ratio has begun to slowly decrease, from the beginning more than a dozen people can replace the life of a devil, and now an average of two or three people can kill a devil.

Hu Lian sat in the temporary headquarters and paced back and forth, sending out telegrams one by one, constantly urging reinforcements, but still did not find any shadow of reinforcements.

"How's the battle going?"

Several staff officers ran back to the headquarters under artillery fire, and Hu Lian immediately greeted him, this is the person he sent out to inspect, and now the town is in chaos, and it has returned to the chaotic situation of the morning.

Several people looked at each other's tank tone, and one of them, Staff Officer Li, walked out: "The battle situation of the regiment is not very good, the situation in the town is very complicated now, only one of the three bridges on the Qi River is still in our hands, but it should be blown up, the first battalion and the third battalion have suffered heavy casualties, some devils have gained a firm foothold in the town, and are advancing step by step, our army began to suffer heavy casualties, but now it has stabilized, but if there are no reinforcements, we will not survive the dark!" ”

Hu Lian let out a long sigh after hearing this, walking back and forth in the house, thinking about countermeasures, if the entire 66th Regiment is wiped out like this, it will have no effect: "You can't fight like this, Staff Officer Xu, you should send a report immediately, the high-speed division headquarters, if you don't see reinforcements for two hours, Luodian will definitely be lost, this is related to the situation of the Songhu battlefield, support as soon as possible!" ”

Staff Officer Xu shook his head and continued to send reports, he had already sent no less than ten such telegrams to the division headquarters, but he only got four words, stick to the help, Luodian has lost part of it, and he is still holding on to the help.

"Staff Officer Li, you take a squad of guards and give me an order, so that all the soldiers should not care about the gains and losses of one room and one floor, try to be Japanese in the movement, do not stick to a stronghold, and insert yourself behind the devil when you find an opportunity, even if you drag it until dark!"

"Yes!"

After issuing the order, Hu Lian slapped the table with his hand, and now this battle has nothing to do with his command, so he can only resign himself to fate.

The telegram reply from the division headquarters has finally changed, it is no longer a cold four words of stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, I don't know where to draw two new battalions to support the 66th Regiment, set off half an hour later, and now the reorganization training is underway.

Staff Officer Li conveyed Hu Lian's instructions one by one, and the battle situation began to slowly change slightly.

The Japanese soldiers found that the Kuomintang soldiers who were originally holding one building after another, room by room, were gone, and were replaced by constant harassment from the flanks and behind, although there were many fewer obstacles on the way forward, but the speed of the Japanese advance began to slow down, and the offensive momentum was slowly dragged down by the Kuomintang army.

Tie Zhu slowly climbed ashore, carefully checked the weapon in his hand, he didn't know if the gun in his hand could be used after entering the water, after trying to wipe the water dry, he slowly stretched the sniper rifle out of the reeds, aiming at a machine gunner by the bridge in the distance.

Because the defensive task was relatively easy, the Japanese machine gunner chatted with the ammunition supplier next to him with a cigarette in his mouth, and from the moment they crossed the bridge, they did not find a shadow of the Kuomintang army, even if the sound of gunfire was incessant not far away, but the vigilance was still lowered.

"Bang!" The dull sound of gunfire was remembered, very low, very low, and was muffled in the environment of all kinds of gunfire around it, and the Japanese soldiers 100 meters away could not hear the gunshots at all.

The bullet was still missed, but only a little bit, and hit the sandbag next to the Japanese soldier.

Tie Zhu didn't know why he missed when he shot himself, and in order to hit the target, he deliberately did not aim at the head but chose the upper body with a larger range, but the result was still missed!
