Chapter 1349 turns defeat into victory

When the Japanese army launched a group charge, there were always officers holding command knives and rushing to the front of the line to boost morale. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info But this time, the Japanese army doesn't know how many unlucky people with command knives have changed, each iconic command knife will make its owner the focus of the snipers of the An Jiajun snipers, often the devil just stood up straight and raised the knife in his hand, and then he fell to the ground with a bullet in his eyebrows, and in the end no one wanted to raise this knife that symbolized death, the commander and the soldier mixed together, shouting and rushing forward together.

Fortunately, although there is a hint of brightness in the eastern sky, the sky and the earth are still gray, and not many Japanese soldiers have noticed the abnormality and still attack bravely.

As soon as the charging team reached the place where they could clearly see every move of the Chinese on the opposite side, the An Jiajun counterattacked with fierce firepower, and the bullets fired by light and heavy machine guns jumped forward at a height of tens of centimeters from the ground, and from time to time there were sounds of bullets hitting ** and miserable screams in the middle of the crowd.

"Woohoo—"

Mortar shells with a piercing chirp, like the sound of a steel drill idling, penetrated the air, whistling past the heads of the charging Japanese troops, and fell in the ranks of the Japanese troops. For a time, the screams and screams of the Japanese army's stormtrooping officers and men, who had suffered a large number of casualties, were unexpectedly overpowered by the sound of mortar shells exploding!

The closer the Anjia Army was to the battle line, the stronger the Anjia Army's counterattack became, and the Japanese Wing Commanders, who fell behind the shock team, immediately ordered the troops to take a jump forward attack: after the soldier fired a bullet, he ran a few steps forward, then lay down on the ground, pulled the bolt, pushed another bullet, and then got up and rushed forward. This section of more than 300 meters of impact distance almost cost thousands of Japanese soldiers their lives, but due to the huge gap in numbers, the Japanese army still quickly approached the position of the Anjia army.

The squad led by Lu Daniu now has only three people left, and the entire regiment now adds up to only more than 500 people, and the civilian personnel of the regiment headquarters have also been organized, under the leadership of the regiment commander Li Jun, using the dense craters of the Japanese heavy artillery to organize the defense line on the spot and mercilessly shoot the enemy.

Soon, the first batch of charging *** devils had already rushed to the front of the position! These short, fierce and fierce *** soldiers with smoke-stained faces have become staggering because of the long-distance charge, and some of them are also stained with the blood of their companions, like ghost-hooking ghosts from the underworld.

Li Jun knocked down two devils in a row with the Mauser pistol in his hand, and shouted: "*** Shoot!" Throw grenades! ”

Soon, hundreds of grenades flew out, and the whole regiment, except for light and heavy machine guns and mortars, was still firing, and none of the other officers and soldiers fired a shot, they were all throwing grenades frantically. The sound of the explosion suddenly resounded in front of the position, and the Japanese army's continuous stormtroop formation like a tide was hit by this head-on, and was choked, and almost all of the hundreds of devils who rushed to the front were blown to the ground, and a devil adjutant was blinded by the flying shrapnel, and frantically rushed left and right, wantonly waved the saber in his hand, and hacked to death three devil officers and soldiers who came forward to support him, and finally was killed by his own people who could not see him.

After throwing hundreds of grenades in one go, the brothers of the first regiment blew up a vacuum in front of the position, and temporarily resped for a few minutes, but with the Japanese army's fearless and fierce offensive like the tide of the Qiantang River, groups of devil soldiers finally poured into the position.

For hand-to-hand combat, the An Jiajun is not afraid, submachine guns, Mauser pistols, and Zhongzheng three-type shotguns adapted from Remington's five-shot shotguns, as well as the accurate shooting of snipers in the rear of the position, constitute a fire network from point to surface, especially a small number of shotguns, a bullet out, a piece of the enemy is within the range of attack, seeing that the bodies of the officers and soldiers around them are beaten into honeycombs, wailing and falling, the morale of the Japanese army is very big.

But as the number of devils who broke through the humble positions of the An Jiajun army, which did not have much depth, increased, there was no time to replenish the bullets, and the two sides were entangled together. The Japanese army did not adhere to the tradition of returning bullets and fighting bayonets, and after running out of bullets in the guns in one go, they started hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the An Jiajun.

At this time, both sides have lost their minds, and the only thing they can think of is to kill the enemy in front of them, and the sound of grenade explosions can be heard from time to time in the trench, which is a solemn and glorious moment: the brothers of An Jiajun, who were seriously injured and could no longer fight, pulled the grenade and died with the devils around him.

Li Jun finished the last minute bullet of the Mauser gun in his hand, threw the gun, brandished the sapper shovel, and cut off half of the head of a devil soldier Cao who rushed to the front, and in the splash of blood and brains, he was able to stand up to a bayonet that stabbed his head, and swung it vigorously, taking advantage of the moment when the devil's bayonet deviated, the sapper shovel slashed through the neck of the Japanese soldier in front of him, and the blood arrows gushed out, shooting him all over his face.

"Boom-"

Just when the defense line was in jeopardy, the long-dormant artillery of the Anjia Army finally rang out, and a carpet shelling was carried out on the Japanese troops who were overwhelmingly rushing towards the positions of the Anjia Army.

The firelight once again reflected the sky red, and a loud, indistinguishable sound shook the earth, and one after another shells with a terrible scream pierced the morning light, from far to near, followed by the undulating explosions, and the intense fire and smoke shrouded the dense Japanese charging ranks.

The loud noise and lethality of the large-caliber howitzer shell explosion were extremely terrifying, and the Japanese officers and soldiers who were unprepared and had no cover around them were blown up in a blink of an eye, and the stumps and severed arms were thrown into the sky by huge forces along with large pieces of dirt and stones, and the air was rapidly twisted and expanded because of the explosion, and they washed away all movable objects on the ground. Although the Japanese officers and soldiers who did not die, their noses and ears were bleeding together because of the huge roar like rolling thunder, and they lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

With the dense artillery fire blocked the reinforcements of the Japanese army, Hu Jialin quickly put in all the reserves in his hand, and the officers and soldiers of Anjia, who were originally on the front line, gave a very heavy blow to the devils, and now the Anjia army has invested in vitality, and the Japanese army quickly lost its sharpness and turned around and fled.

Since the Japanese officers became the target of the Anjia Army's snipers, there was hardly a single officer with a command knife within nearly a kilometer, and no one was able to stop this panicked rout, which led to the collapse of the Japanese army as a whole.

At this time, the Anjia Army Special Service Regiment, which had been monitoring the movements of the Japanese army and had been holding back, also launched a surprise attack on the Japanese troops on the front line of digging the mountain, and under the close bombardment of more than 10 mortars, the hill where the headquarters of the 20th and 27th Divisions of the Japanese Army were located was suddenly shrouded in a burst of fire and gunsmoke.

Ishikawa Koichi, who was holding a telescope in his hand, was amazed that the An Jiajun still had heavy artillery to use, and when he was thinking about how to organize the next wave of offensive, he was suddenly hit by an artillery attack.

Masaharu Honma, whose face was covered in blood, lay on the ground, listening to the gunfire that was getting closer and closer and the sound of explosions from far and near, and shouted in panic: "Ishikawa-kun, withdraw, we are surrounded by the Shina army......"

Koichi Ishikawa stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of Masaharu Honma's hand: "Don't panic, Honma-kun, it's that small group of harassing troops, just send someone to expel it......"

Before the words fell, a mortar shell exploded five meters away from a group of devil officers, and the shrapnel immediately hit the staff officer lying on Ishikawa Hiroshi's body, and as the blood spurted out of his mouth, his body leaned softly against Ishikawa.

"Someone, emergency rescue!"

Ishikawa Hiroshi's eyes were red and he shouted loudly, but no one answered him, and the entire area around the Land Temple became the key target of the special service group, and the command centers of the two divisions were almost wiped out.

In front of the Lingshan Temple, hearing a huge explosion from the southern Huangtuzhuang Town, Hu Jialin nodded: "The special brigade in charge of the palace and the 24th Division of the Japanese Army have done it, but the mines and car bombs they laid will not be able to stop it for long, and soon the Japanese army will pounce." ordered the engineer regiment directly under the corps to quickly pave the road with prefabricated components to facilitate the advance of our army's vehicles; ordered the artillery to cover the hill on the right side of the road ahead and clear all the enemy who could threaten the retreat of our corps; The Model Battalion was ordered to quickly move forward to the road leading to Mafang Town, confirm the extent of the minefield laid by the Japanese army, and clear the mines as quickly as possible. ”

The order was quickly conveyed, and Hu Jialin breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said to Huang Zhi, who was standing beside him: "I didn't expect the 170th Division to bring us such a big surprise, what kind of weapons did they use to destroy the Japanese artillery position?" ”

"I don't know, during the last time I organized the team, I was secretly tinkering with Kangshen, and I also entrusted the logistics department of the legion to make some delicate and meticulous gadgets, which are estimated to be related to this mysterious explosion." Huang Zhidao.

"How much combat power do the three divisions have now?" Hu Jialin's tone was heavy.

"The specific data has not yet been reported, but according to the intensity of this wave of Japanese offensive, I will recite Amitabha Buddha if there are 7,000 people left in the *** division, and there are only more than 7,000 people left in the 17th division before, and more than 8,000 people in the 40th division, and the loss will not be small after this battle. I heard that Tongxian had fallen in the early morning, and the war also ignited in Beiping. I don't know if Song Mingxuan's 29th Group Army can hold on, if Shunyi, *** Battalion and Huairou are controlled by the Japanese army, we will have to go through a series of bloody battles, and in the end I don't know how many people will be able to kill back. Huang Zhi looked helpless.

"Take one step at a time! Even if we fight to the last person, we won't give *** people a good feeling. ”

......

"Your seat, Ambassador Bogomolov is here." Chiang Kai-shek was about to return to the war room to continue tracking the war in North China and discussing countermeasures, when Chen Bui hurriedly entered.

Chiang Kai-shek was originally in a heavy mood, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Hurry up, please." ”

Due to the rapid aggression and expansion of the Soviet Union, as well as the great changes in the Far East of the Soviet Union, the Soviet government, especially Stalin, felt heavy pressure. In response to the betrayal of Blyukhel and other generals, Stalin, while intensifying the Soviet anti-rebellion and consolidating its rule, had the intention of resolutely cracking down on the Far Eastern Military District with bad tendencies, but he was afraid that he would take advantage of the fierce fighting between the traitors of the Soviet Central Committee and the Far East along Lake Baikal to suddenly invade the Far East, which was empty in defense, and then set his sights on Siberia and even the Caucasus.

So, Stalin set his sights on China. Even if poor and backward China is armed, it will not pose a substantial threat to the Soviet Union, if China can contain the main force of the Japanese army, so that the national strength of the first country is exhausted in the war with China, and there is no time to care about the north, then the Soviet Union's national defense and security will not only sit back and relax, but also the crusade against the rebellion will be smoother.

Under the guidance of this ideology, China and the Soviet Union took what they needed and suddenly became close.

At the talks in late July, Soviet Foreign Minister Litvinov said: The Soviet Union's support for China should be on the same level as the support of the Western countries for China, and in this respect, the Soviet Union should neither go ahead of the Western countries nor lag too far behind. In order to lend money to the Chinese government for the purchase of Soviet military equipment, the USSR was willing to conclude a non-aggression pact with China. The USSR provided military equipment in the form of war loans at preferential interest rates, but only as a guarantee of not starting a civil war.

Chiang Kai-shek replied by telegram saying that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had become a fact, and that the Red Army was about to be reorganized into the National Revolutionary Army to fight against Japan together.

With the sharp turn for the worse in North China, Chiang Kai-shek sent Yang Jie, who temporarily replaced An Yi as deputy chief of staff, and Zhang Chong, a member of the Central Executive Committee, to take an AN5 large passenger plane in the name of the "Soviet Industrial Investigation Delegation" to Moscow via Xi'an, Urumqi and the Central Asian region of the Soviet Union to contact military aid, and the Chinese government demanded that the Soviet Union first provide 350 aircraft, 200 tanks and 236 artillery pieces of assistance.

Bogomolov walked in quickly and shook hands cordially when he saw Chiang Kai-shek.

The guest and the host sat down on the sofa, and Bogomolov said happily: "Chairman, I have good news here, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Oh? Mr. Ambassador, please make it clear that Kai-shek would like to hear more about it! Chiang Kai-shek stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Bogmolov did not sell the matter, and said frankly: "After holding talks with the diplomatic representatives of your country, the Central Committee of the Soviet Union promised to double the amount of supplies aided to China, and from next month, the first batch of fighters will be sent to China, and at the same time, we will also send flight instructors, instrument instructors, maintenance technicians, and engineers to train Chinese personnel to master and ensure the operation of military equipment." In order to show our sincerity in jointly resisting aggression, we will also send pilots and combat planes to participate in the war against Japan. ”

Chiang Kai-shek looked excited: "Sure enough, it's good news." On behalf of the 40,000,000 compatriots, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to Comrade Stalin, the leader of your country, and other leading comrades of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union! ”

"Chairman, I heard that the Japanese army actually used more than 20 divisions for the war in North China, and even the Kwantung Army was withdrawn, but is there such a thing?"

Bogomolov ignored Chiang Kai-shek's hymn and asked straight to the point.

Chiang Kai-shek's face was heavy: "Yes, the Japanese army not only invested more than 20 divisions and regiments in North China, but also a considerable number of mixed brigades and infantry brigades, and the number of troops invested reached one million. Before the war, we expected that *** would most likely invest the size of ten divisions in North China, and we also started to prepare for this. However, the madness of the *** people is far beyond our expectations, and they have made trouble after careful layout, forming a situation of fighting more and less locally, which has led to the rapid deterioration of the situation now. ”

Bogomolov nodded: "This is also the reason why the Soviets are determined to increase their assistance to your country. I heard that the government is lobbying the British and American consortia to buy fighters in the form of investing in the construction of factories, and the specific method is to send the aircraft to the United States in the form of parts for assembly, so that in a short time, the strength of the air force will grow explosively. ”

Chiang Kai-shek stood up in shock: "The national strength of *** far exceeds that of China, and Britain and the United States even want to strengthen it, what are they going to do?" Aren't they worried that one day they will raise tigers? No, I have to urgently summon the British and American ambassadors to express the Chinese government's strong support. ”

Bogomolov then stood up: "Then I won't bother you, Chairman." I hope that under your leadership, your *** team will fight better and better and eliminate more Japanese troops. ”
