Chapter 40: Collision
When the Earth Dog Squadron was unscrupulous behind enemy lines, the 2nd Regiment and 1st Battalion suffered heavy casualties. Jiang Daring has already repelled eleven enemy attacks with his battalion! The whole battalion, including the lightly and seriously wounded, was less than 400 people. But they still stuck to the position like nails!
In order to provide effective support to the first battalion, the heavy mortar company directly under the regiment moved the mortar to the ridge line of the hilltop in a daze at the risk of being locked by the Japanese artillery! The artillery on both sides is full of strength, and it is not easy for you to come and go, and it is not easy to bomb me. The mortar was transferred quickly, the devil's 92 infantry gun was easy to move, and after mutual casualties, it returned to the main topic of infantry support!
The wounded who were carried down were wailing in pain, and Matsushita's hand holding the command knife trembled slightly. It's only been a few hours? The two brigades took turns to storm the position of China at any cost, and with the support of aircraft and artillery, it was still impossible to occupy the position of China since more than half of the casualties were lost! Could it be that this Seventh Division is made of iron? The soldiers on the battlefield seem to be indecisive?
The two captains discussed merging the two dissatisfied brigades into one, and Matsushita was leading them. Different from the tragedy on the position of the first battalion, Zhang Hua's regiment and Lin Hai's fourth regiment can be described as calm. After a round of bombing by devil planes, it was like being forgotten by the Japanese? Jiang Dacheng has asked for reinforcements several times, but Liu Yang just said: Hold your ground! This big head of Liu is for the brothers to die!
Looking at the thick stacked corpses in front of the position, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion seemed to have become numb. At the beginning of the battle, the two sides will also tacitly cease fire to collect the bodies of the other side's fallen officers and soldiers. But the devil found that using the corpse as a cover was far more practical than dragging it down for cremation? So the corpses of the devils became thicker and thicker. Such a human defense line has the potential to confront the position of a battalion. The officers and men of the first battalion scolded the devil for being shameless while still carefully restraining the bodies of their comrades, which seemed to them to be stiff as if they were asleep. Xu Qingyun also told the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division more than once that their comrades are also brothers, and brothers should never abandon them, and those who betray their brothers will be abandoned by everyone and God!
Originally, the officers and soldiers of the 38th and 7th Divisions of the devils were very disdainful, but the devils were sent to the door, and it didn't mean that they didn't want it, right? So the officers and soldiers of the first battalion were surprised to find that the devil was so rich, and in addition to the brand-new 38 type, there were also a large number of bullets and grenades on each corpse? Especially the kind of small melon-like grenade that has many fragments when it explodes, and it is very lethal!
The devils were also uncomfortable when they saw the officers and men of the first battalion moving over their corpses and rummaging over to find things, so their marksmen were pushed to the forefront. But after a few rounds of competition with the Earth Dog Squadron, I could only watch the officers and soldiers of the first battalion swaggering! The devil's shooter often returns the salute with three or four bullets just after firing the gun. Under the guns of the Earth Dog Squadron, it seems that there are no living mouths left. I have to say that those guys in the Earth Dog Squadron are really like mad dogs, and once they find their prey, they will bite them without hesitation.
But how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? The little man's hiding place was exposed a few times, but fortunately the little man ran fast, Rao was like this, and he was also bitten by a bullet from the devil on his shoulder. But this small injury is negligible compared to his record. The one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition that the little man carried himself had been exhausted by the last charge of the devil, and Jiang Daring knew that the little man was poor and white, and then supported him with another hundred and fifty rounds without saying a word. Jiang boldly said, as long as you can kill the devil, Lao Tzu will be your ammunition man! It can be said that one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition for the little man will send the devils directly to their Aunt Amaterasu, and the other twenty rounds will create at least a dozen devils with lifelong first-class disabilities!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the face of the devils retreating like a tide again, Liu Yang decisively ordered the second battalion to change the position of the first battalion! Xu Qingyun in Jinzhou City has just received information that the devil's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, it must be that the earth dog squadron has delayed the devil's reinforcement action, and taking this rare opportunity, Du Lei proposed to send out a cavalry battalion to eat the 29th Wing that came out alone! After hearing this proposal, Xu Qingyun glanced at Du Lei with slanted eyes. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, a division would not dare to say that it would eat a brigade of devils, right? This Durey is very fat! What's more, the devil's 29th Wing is still more than 2,500 people, right? In fact, with the ability of the Seventh Division, it is completely possible to eat the other party, but the biggest problem is how to ensure the suddenness of the action. According to the observation of the devil's plane, it takes more than two hours to come, and Xu Qingyun at this moment is looking forward to the arrival of the devil's plane!
"Order your unit to pay attention to air defense, after the bombing of enemy planes, a limited local sortie, and the whole regiment will attack and annihilate the 29th Wing of the enemy's 2nd Division at a quarter of 4:00!" When he received Xu Qingyun's call, Liu Yang was stunned! "Questions?" Xu Qingyun asked on the phone. Xu Qingyun rarely asks his subordinates like this, once he asks, it means that the execution of his subordinates, or the combat effectiveness, has been reduced, and correspondingly, Xu Qingyun will give the spear the most severe punishment! Xu Qingyun never interfered in how his subordinates trained, but only gave advice! Its purpose is to let the commanders of each regiment cross the sea and show their magical powers, and give full play to their ability to lead troops. The lack of execution and combat effectiveness of the troops shows that the commander-in-chief does not have the ability to lead the troops, and Xu Qingyun will unceremoniously deprive the commander-in-chief of the right to lead the troops!
"No problem, guaranteed to complete the task!" Liu Yang replied neatly! Putting down the phone, Liu Yang ordered the third battalion to draw out a company of light and heavy machine guns and wait for the devil's plane! Liu Yang had not paid much attention to air defense before, and his purpose was to paralyze enemy planes and give the other party a feeling of helplessness against air power. He is waiting for an opportunity to make the devil plane unforgettable! As soon as Liu Yang's machine gun array was concealed, the devil plane arrived as scheduled. As the saying goes, someone sent a pillow as soon as you fell asleep!
Masao Imamura, flying his fighter today, is already supporting the infantry for the fourth time. Dusk is approaching, and these guys are still in place, do you want my fighters to support them at night? Imamura thought maliciously. At the same time, a soldier on the Shina position was seen holding a rifle and pulling the trigger in vain on his fighter! Imamura controlled the aircraft control stick to lower the flight altitude, and he wanted to show the soldier a little color!
Imamura pulled the trigger of the airborne aircraft, and a cloud of smoke rose from the position of the second battalion. Imamura looked out, and the Shina soldier was still holding a rifle and firing bullets at his fighter? Imamura angrily prepares to turn the nose around and eliminate the Shina soldier who despised him. Suddenly, the fuselage shook, and the pointers on the dashboard were messy! What's going on? When his plane was about to fall, he finally saw the unbelievable: about a company of light and heavy machine guns formed a dense network of fire, and the crew he led happened to give his belly to the China. Three of the devil's eight planes plunged into the mountains with black smoke, and the other five fled in a hurry! "Damn, let you get again!" The second regimental officer cheered!
"Prepare for battle!" The second battalion commander roared. As is customary, the devil planes passed, and it was time for the infantry to charge. Matsushita was ruthless this time, concentrating the only dozens of light and heavy machine guns left in the two brigades to cover the death squad and rush towards the front of the second battalion. The brunt of the attack was the V-shaped tip of the 2nd Battalion defensive line. Under the fierce attack of the devils, the defense line of the second battalion was in danger? It really made the second battalion commander ashamed. When the first battalion left, the position was not lost, but in the hands of his second battalion, a charge of the devil was torn apart?
Rush up! Panasonic was in ecstasy. "Send a signal to the captain of the Hirata Wing, asking the second brigade to follow up and break through the position of the defenders of Shina in one fell swoop!" Matsushita is flushed with excitement! The second battalion commander is a serious Northeast man, his family has long been scattered by the Japanese, and he has a gritted hatred for the Japanese! I finally looked forward to my second battalion, but never thought that I would almost lose my position as soon as I came up? This made the second battalion commander frightened and annoyed!
This can't be blamed on the commander of the second battalion, the second battalion has just changed guards, and many recruits are still fighting when they see blood. Plus the unprecedented ferocity of the Japanese offensive! The devil was trying his best to expand the results of the battle, and the second battalion commander led the guard platoon to swoop towards the gap. This scene made Liu Yang's heart tremble. "Shout out if you're scared!" I don't know who shouted. The recruits hid behind and watched the veterans rush up one by one desperately to fight with the devils.
Although the training of the Seventh Division is very effective, there is still a big gap between it and the three-year systematic military training of the devils! In the face of devils whose individual skills and tactics are stronger than their own, the officers and men of the Seventh Division can only exchange their lives for their lives! The veteran clutched the bayonet that had stabbed into his body, and his eyes looked at the new recruits who trembled behind the devil. "Kill!" The veteran bit out a word with all his might, and the blood from his mouth stained the placket red, as well as the handle of the bayonet that was about to sink into his body!
"Ahh The recruit screamed and thrust his bayonet into the devil's vest. The tip of the knife shows a few inches from the devil's chest! A recruit with a bayonet is not a recruit, it is a beast that has been stimulated to instinct! The recruit drew his bayonet with all his might, screaming, and rushed at another devil. The veteran finally fell down laughing, because he knew that after his fall, a new recruit had become a veteran like him!
"Hand. Grenade! In such a crowded and narrow trench, the officers and men of the second battalion did not hesitate to pull their hands. The grenade pounced on the devil. Boom, after a few loud bangs, the devil's offensive stalled, and under a few leaders, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion pulled their hands one after another as if they were infected. The grenade ran out of the trenches! This is not only a collision between the 29th Wing and the 7th Division, but also a great collision of wills between the Chinese and Japanese nations!
Under the round of suicidal counterattack by the officers and men of the second battalion who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, the devils left hundreds of mutilated corpses and ran around with their heads scurry! The scene of the rout is in full view of Panasonic. As for how to explain to Yukihiro Hirata, it seems that the lost position of the branch is no longer a problem that he Matsushita should be considering! The fierce counterattack of the ** people made his heart unable to calm down for a long time, although their individual skills and tactics are still rusty and immature at the moment, but in time they will become the number one rival of the empire!
