Chapter 359: Oolong Temple
readx; Just as the army was advancing, Gao Fei's 26th Division received the task of defending the Oolong Temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And their opponent was the 10th Division of the Yue Army.
Defend the Oolong Temple for more than three days, this is an order given by Chiang Kai-shek personally to Gao Fei!
The person in charge of defending the front-line position is the new commander of the Reading Battalion, Jin Suozhu!
The devil's tactics were really unchanged, everyone had just eaten something indiscriminately, and the enemy's plane appeared, bombarding the position of the Oolong Temple, and at this time, the devil's mountain artillery was also in place when everyone was busy dealing with the enemy planes in the air, and bombarded the position on the mountain.
In advance, the lock post and the deputy battalion commander Xu Sizhong made preparations, dug a big hole in the ground at the highest point of the position, and two or three people could hide in it, and these machine gunners could carry heavy machine guns and hide in the grass and strafe into the sky, so as not to let the devil's plane fly too low and get too close to our position, which would somewhat reduce the degree of damage to the position.
The enemy's five bombers roared and circled, and the lock pillars hiding in the woods below the mountain and Xu Sizhong listened to the huge explosion sound coming from the hilltop position, all of them pinched a cold sweat for Yu Wenzheng. At the same time, everyone also heard the continuous firing of the heavy machine guns on their side, although the sound was deafening, and the sound of shells and bombs was drowned out from time to time, but this sound sounded unusually cordial and unusually happy to everyone, at least it showed that the brothers on the position were still alive.
Perhaps it was too arrogant, a devil's plane actually flew close to the top of the mountain, and was hit by a heavy machine gun in the wing, hitting the propeller on the wing, the plane immediately lost its balance, and had to staggered away sideways, dragging a black line behind it. Everyone at the bottom of the mountain could not help but applaud loudly, although they did not shoot down the enemy plane, but it gave infinite encouragement to all the soldiers, and at the same time made the enemy plane have some scruples and dare not be unscrupulous.
Originally, I thought that the enemy planes would be bombed for a while, but after a few moments, these bombers ran away, until the lock post saw the planes of the Sino-Soviet Air Force appear from the sky, and it suddenly dawned on them.
"That's our plane!" While everyone was still dodging the air raids, the lock pillar shouted excitedly.
Sure enough, nine planes flew from the south, five of which were fighters, and they apparently also spotted the enemy bombers and chased them. The other four were also bombers, and these bombers circled in front of the Oolong Temple, dropping bombs into the positions of the devils. The rumbling explosion is still ringing, but this time it has changed its position, and it is the devil who was bombed.
"Salute to the brothers of the Air Force!" Everyone cheered in unison.
After all, in the big war at this time, the air force was only auxiliary, and the real battle depended on the charge of the infantry.
Although for a while [***] had air superiority, but soon after, the fighters of the devil also appeared, and the bombers of the Chinese and American air forces had to dodge. The Chinese and American fighters that drove away the enemy bombers also turned around, and in the long sky, the two sides began a life-and-death struggle. Although Suozhu was very concerned about his brother's battle situation, he was no longer allowed to worry about it at this time, because the attack of the devil infantry also began at this time!
When the lock pillar once again rushed to the position of the Oolong Temple with the Reading Battalion, he was shocked by the messy scene on this position.
The enemy's round of bombardment just now almost flattened the entire mountain, and the soil was turned over several layers. There is a winter thorn tree on the mountain, this kind of tree grows very slowly, it is generally used by farmers as a fence, and this tree has obviously grown for thousands of years, several feet high, the canopy can cover half of the mountain, and the body of the tree also needs to be hugged by two people, but at this time, this huge tree has become a stump, and the green branches and leaves are sprinkled all over the ground, as if it has been destroyed by the storm. If the mountain has a spirit, then the mountain will be angry about it; If the water has a spirit, then the water will be moved by it; If the tree has a spirit, then this ancient tree will only be left with a whimper and desolation!
Under the Oolong Temple, there are two wings of the devils, which are equivalent to the two regiments of [***], which are the main forces of the enemy's 10th Division. The 10th Division belongs to the first division of the army, which is composed of four wings, each of which is composed of four squadrons, each of which is composed of four squadrons, and each squadron is composed of four squadrons. A wing is equivalent to a regiment, with a total strength of about 3,500 men at full strength. And these two wings, they fought all the way, and were beaten piecemeal by [***], at this time there were at most four or five thousand people, but these two wings were still stubborn and unstoppable, and the 34th Division was defeated by these two wings.
For Xu Sizhong, he was tantamount to facing an enemy who was more than twice as many as himself, not to mention that this enemy was superior to them in terms of weapons and morale. This seems to be a battle without suspense, but Xu Sizhong, Suozhu and Huang Xinyuan don't think so, in their opinion, for the warriors of the 26th Division, they have the right time and place, and they should be said to be equal.
It is precisely because of the resoluteness of the main general that there will be soldiers' desperateness!
The devil began to charge, and from the mountain, it was densely packed, as if it were a group of ants in a nest.
The Reading Battalion is the elite soldier of the 26th Division, plus the relationship between the lock post and the division commander, so the weapon configuration of this battalion is the best in the division, in addition to the two Maxim heavy machine guns in the whole battalion, each squad has a Czech light machine gun. Relatively speaking, Yu Wenzheng's battalion did not have such good treatment as the battalion of lock posts, and he only had one heavy machine gun in the whole battalion, and only one light machine gun in one platoon. There was a heavy machine gun in the Reading Battalion that was taken to the Nanlinpo position by the lock post, and the heavy machine gun left at this time was the other one left, which together with the heavy machine guns of Yu Wenzheng's battalion formed a powerful firepower network, plus the assistance of dozens of light machine guns, only the sound of machine guns was heard endlessly, and I saw the devils falling down one by one, and I couldn't get close to the front of the position at all.
The devil left hundreds of corpses behind and retreated in defeat.
However, what happened next was unexpected by Xu Sizhong and others.
It turned out that the devils would organize artillery again, and then organize a charge again. But this time, the devils did not fire their artillery, perhaps their artillery was damaged by the air force of China and the Soviet Union just now, and it was dumb.
To everyone's surprise, when the devils charged again, they actually brought nearly a hundred local people in front of their team. Originally, as soon as these local people knew that there was going to be a war here, they all hid in the mountains, but there were still some people who did not avoid it, so they were caught by the devils. Needless to say, these people just didn't run away, most of them were old people, women and children, and the young and strong men ran fast, and the devils generally couldn't catch them.
This is a situation that everyone has never faced, Xu Sizhong, Suozhu and Yu Wenzheng ran together, Suozhu and Yu Wenzheng asked the deputy head anxiously: "The devil uses his fellow villagers to block bullets, what should we do?" ”
Xu Sizhong frowned, looking at the villagers who were crying and were forced by the devil's bayonet to come slowly, his eyes were already red, as if they were about to burn. It was a really difficult time to decide, and all the soldiers had their eyes on him, he was the highest officer here, and as long as he gave the order, then whether to shoot or not to shoot, everyone would do it. If they don't shoot, then when the devils get close to the position, they want to fight back, but they are afraid that it is impossible, the devils will hug them together, their position will not be guaranteed, and most of these ordinary people will also be dead. If you shoot, then these fellows will definitely be the first to fall, these are their own compatriots!
The lock pillar suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help reminding the eldest brother: "The Fifth Division also encountered this situation a few days ago, the devils put the fellows in front to open the way, one of their platoons did not shoot, the devils threw grenades when they got close, and all the platoons were sacrificed, and none of those fellows survived in the end." ”
"Give the order to shoot!" Yu Wenzheng was also urging beside him, he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the platoon of the Fifth Division.
The devil striker has already arrived in front of the formation, less than a hundred meters away, and a few more steps is the effective throwing distance. The lock post can already see that there are devils trying to pull grenades.
"Get on the bayonet!" Xu Sizhong suddenly ordered loudly.
The lock pillar suddenly understood that Yu Wenzheng was unwilling to let his compatriots die under his own bullets, and he wanted to use his flesh and blood to engage the enemy in close combat, which was also the most dangerous way to protect his fellow countrymen and himself in the current situation.
Under the order, under the leadership of Xu Sizhong, the soldiers of [***] jumped out of the trench like a tiger descending from the mountain, and rushed straight down with a thunderous momentum, smashing the enemy's camp. Before the devil could lay down his firepower, only a few sporadic grenades were thrown out and exploded behind the [***] soldiers, and in the blink of an eye, the two armies collided together.
A battle of thousands of people took place in this mountain range, and it should be the largest bayonet battle in the history of World War II.
At the time of the handover of the two armies, the villagers who could only cry fell to the ground and hugged each other, and these fellows could only use this most ineffective and clumsy method to protect themselves. The lock post was charging, and he was also holding a medium rifle with a bayonet in his hand, his mind was still unusually clear, and he said loudly to the guards Chen Daxing and Xiong Sanwa who were running beside him: "Daxing, Sanwa, you take a few people, and you are responsible for bringing these fellow villagers out of the battlefield safely!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Daxing and Xiong Sanwa agreed loudly, and led a few of their soldiers to surround these helpless fellows.
Suozhu took the lead and led the Reading Battalion into the crowd of devils, followed by Liu Xiaohu and Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Haibo.
The devils also got on the bayonets, and at the same time they loaded the bayonets, they also unloaded the bullets. The devil uses a 38-style rifle, the bullet of this gun is relatively small, but the penetration is extremely strong, in the melee, if the gun is released, it will often penetrate the opponent's body and hit his partner, so it has become the practice of the devil to unload the bullet while loading the bayonet. Most of the soldiers of the 26th Division use medium formal rifles, also known as 79-style rifles, this kind of gun is shorter than the devil's 38 big cover, in order not to suffer a loss in the stab, so the bayonet is relatively long, after the bayonet is installed, it is the same length as the devil's 38 big cover. However, this gun has an advantage, because the penetration surname is not high, so there is no need to withdraw the bullet in white-knuckle combat.
Three or four thousand men were scuffled on the hillside, where only flesh and bayonets remained, and even the sky and the earth were lost, and everything that had existed just now and would exist in the future. Man became a mad beast, biting, wrestling, and entangled, with hatred, anger, numbness, and passion.
The lock pillar no longer remembered who his first opponent was, he only knew that the devil was fighting with himself, a little sluggish, and he was the first to stab him into his body with a bayonet, the devil fell to the ground, when he pulled out the bayonet, a devil took the opportunity to sneak attack him, it was Xu Haibo who blocked it with a gun for him on the side, he turned around and stabbed the bayonet into the body of this devil. For fighting bayonets, the soldiers of the Reading Battalion and the 32nd Regiment have very experienced experience, a group of three or five people, cooperate with each other, in case of accidents, this is also the trick of winning more with less, this tactic has just graduated from the Lock Pillar Military Academy, just entered the 26th Division, and was still a platoon commander It has been applied, and it has played a great role on the battlefield at this time. And now, Suozhu, Xu Haibo and Liu Xiaohu formed an iron triangle, and the three of them moved together, advanced and retreated together, leaning on each other, and put the defense in place first. Soon, the three of them were covered in blood, their clothes were soaked with blood, and they didn't know how many people they had killed.
In front of the Oolong Temple position, the number of devils was twice as large as that of the 26th Division, but they were suddenly attacked by [***] white-bladed and rushed to the battle, and they were a little caught off guard, so they suffered great casualties at the beginning, but after a period of time, they reacted and resisted, and for a while the two armies were stuck together, and they couldn't tell the difference in a short time.
Everyone didn't know when this kind of struggle would end, but the warriors of the 26th Division knew that they had to drive the enemy off their positions and drive them out of the Oolong Temple.
Maybe the military uniform of the lock post is too conspicuous, and it can be seen from his collar badge that this is a major, which is equivalent to a major of the devils, so many devils have flocked here and surrounded the three of them. In fact, these devils don't know that the commander on this battlefield is not far away Yu Wenzheng, who is wearing a major uniform.
Although Yu Wen is the old superior of the lock pillar, but the military rank is not as fast as the lock pillar, which makes Xu Sizhong very jealous, but at the same time very proud, of course, Xu Sizhong also knows very well that the reason why the lock pillar rose so fast, in addition to the fact that he is Gao Fei's brother, the most important thing is the result of his own efforts, he earned it with his own life.
The lock pillar didn't know how many devils he had killed, his bayonet was not able to pull out when it stabbed into the body of a devil again, the bayonet was actually broken from the middle, although domestic things can also kill the enemy, but the quality of steel is not as good as that of the little devil after all. A devil who was opposite the lock post was overjoyed, and did not hesitate to wave a bayonet and pounced, the lock post didn't have time to think about it at all, raised his hand and "snapped" and fired a shot, the devil fell in response, and he still earned his eyes to the boss until he died, and he didn't want to believe how the opponent could still put the gun when he was stabbing.
The two devils next to him rushed up at the same time, and the lock post lifted the barrel of the gun upside down, and wheeled the rifle up, and smashed it at the enemy in front. Although it was a stabbing battle, in fact, without bayonets, everything could be used as weapons; When there is really no weapon, then the fist becomes a weapon. The stake knocked down the enemy on the opposite side, jumped up, and was already riding on top of him, raising the butt of his rifle and striking the enemy in the head with all his might. The devil struggled to the death, and suddenly knocked the lock post to the ground, and the devil who caught up behind raised his bayonet and stabbed it towards the body of the lock post. The lock post screamed badly, but there was no way to dodge, screaming as he saw the bayonet pierced into his chest, and at this moment, he felt the presence of death.
"Battalion commander!" Liu Xiaohu shouted, dropped the enemy who was fighting with him with a bayonet, moved his steps quickly, rushed out, and stabbed the devil who was about to attack the lock post in the stomach with a bayonet, and the devil screamed and fell to the ground. But at this time, the devil who was fighting with Liu Xiaohu also caught up, and an assassination sent a bayonet into Liu Xiaohu's ribs.
"Little Tiger!" The lock pillar shouted, and grabbed the 38 rifle of the fallen devil, but before he could stand up, another devil stabbed at him, so he had to raise his gun to parry, and saw the enemy pull out the bayonet from Liu Xiaohu's body, Liu Xiaohu spit blood in his mouth and fell to the ground. At this time, the iron triangle of the lock pillar, Liu Xiaohu and Xu Haibo has been broken, the anti-unloading has all collapsed, and everyone is in danger. Xu Haibo also saw Liu Xiaohu falling, he tried his best to stab the enemy on the opposite side, turned around and pounced on the enemy who stabbed Liu Xiaohu, and solved this devil in only two or three clicks.
The heart of the lock pillar is like a knife, and the power that comes from nowhere, suddenly shouted, and at the speed of the first shot, he lay on the ground and stabbed the arm of the person who was committing the murder to him, and the devil was in pain, and the gun fell to the ground, and he turned around and fled.
Chen Daxing and Xiong Sanwa rushed over with a few people, they had obviously already transferred those fellow villagers out, and they had been fighting for a long time, everyone was bloody, because they heard the painful and hissing cries of the lock pillars, and in such a noisy battlefield, they could clearly distinguish the voice of their commander so familiar. Everyone approached the battalion commander, the devils retreated one after another, Chen Daxing and Xiong Sanwa were good at stabbing hard, and the enemy in front of them had only a dead end, and soon, they saw their battalion commander, and several people immediately formed a circle, and surrounded the three people in the middle.
The lock pillar had a chance to pounce on Liu Xiaohu's side, and at this time, Xu Haibo had already picked up this hero, and tears had already flowed over this iron man who had always made people feel unsympathetic.
"Little Tiger! Little Tiger! Wake up, wake up! Suozhu cried out in despair, he saw Liu Xiaohu's wound, the bayonet had pierced his lung.
