Section 8 The Liberation of Wuhan IV
The fierce battle continued, the Japanese army with no way to retreat stubbornly held on, the sound of gunfire enveloped the whole city, after the north gate was broken, the east and west gates were also broken through soon after, and the squadron ** team entered Jingshan in an all-round way.
Shimono continued to mobilize troops from depth to counterattack, but the squadron regardless of casualties, went forward one after another, and the Japanese counterattack always had some effect at the beginning, but then it was overwhelmed by the tide of the squadron.
"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded in front of the tank, and the huge tank body only trembled slightly, and then spat out tongues of fire, leading the brigade of soldiers to charge forward.
Hu Jiaji wiped the Han water on his face, and smiled, this is a T34/B tank, the thickness of the frontal armor is as high as 70mm, and the thickness of the side armor is 50mm.
However, the Japanese soldiers kept jumping up from the rubble, holding explosives and rushing at the tank, but most of them fell under the tongue of fire of the tank and the 39 rifle.
"Hu Kun, you lead the team to bypass from here!" Hu Jiaji called Hu Kun, the head of the 1753 regiment, and pointed to an alley next to him.
After Hu Kun left, Hu Jiaji called the signal soldiers, picked up the wireless microphone, and ordered in code: "The 494 Brigade is attacking behind the 1753 Regiment, and the rest of the units, with companies as units, are interspersed by themselves, and the target of the attack is the Bell and Drum Tower." ”
Hu Jiaji's appetite was great, he did not choose the county government, but chose the bell and drum tower, he estimated that the headquarters of Shimono was not located in the county government, but near the bell and drum tower, although the terrain there was not very favorable, but there were several houses around, very strong, and Shimono should be here.
With Hu Jiaji's order, the three brigades of the 166th Division entered the city, except for the 494th Brigade, the remaining two brigades were divided into companies and plunged into the depth of the Japanese army. The Japanese army soon discovered this, and Shimono simply fought chaos against chaos, dividing the troops into small units, except for leaving two squadrons to guard the core position, the rest of the troops, whether they were sappers or baggage soldiers, all took up arms and interspersed with the back of the squadron, exchanging space for time.
The battlefield was unprecedentedly chaotic, the Chinese and Japanese armies were interspersed with each other, even if the place had just been cleared, a group of people came over the next moment, and they still didn't know if it was their own people.
In this confusion, the quality advantage of the Japanese soldiers was brought into full play, except for the 166th Division, the rest of the divisions felt extremely uncomfortable, and the divisions that rushed into the city began to gradually retreat, retreat to the vicinity of the city gate, readjust, and then attack again.
Knowing that the friendly troops were retreating, Hu Jiaji was happy at this time, and he also threw the 494 Brigade into battle, aiming directly at the Bell and Drum Tower, rushing through two streets, the square roof of the Bell and Drum Tower has been vividly remembered, and the resistance of the Japanese army is also more tenacious. But this made Hu Jiaji even more excited, which showed that his judgment was right, and the headquarters of Shimono was here.
"Hu Kun, you take someone to take down the compound on the left." Hu Jiaji shouted in the wireless microphone, and Hu Kun's excited answer was heard from the microphone, and then a fierce gunfire was heard.
Before Hu Jiaji could ask, there was a burst of gunfire from behind, and a stream of devils suddenly came out of a small alley, but fortunately it was discovered by the vigilant guard platoon, and there were no major casualties. The chief of the guard took a few guards to cover Hu Jiaji in the middle, and the chief of the guard said nervously to Hu Jiaji: "Division commander, transfer some troops, we have too few people here." ”
"It's okay, there aren't many devils, just go out," Hu Jiaji patted the dust on his body indifferently: "You kid doesn't know tactics, the devil wants to hold the core position, don't you let people go from other directions?" The purpose of Shimono is to disrupt our line of sight in order to profit from the chaos. ”
It seems that he is criticizing the chief of the guard, but Hu Jiaji's words actually lost all the friendly troops, and the friendly forces have all retreated, and only the 166th Division is still attacking, but Hu Jiaji concluded that Xia Ye did not dare and could not attack him with all his forces.
Soon the nearby active troops arrived and wiped out the Japanese troops that came out, but Hu Jiaji didn't care about these at all and continued to supervise the troops to attack.
"Fart! Immediately resume the attack! The 166th Division is still attacking, why can't you attack! Immediately resume the attack! ”
When Song Xilian heard that the attack had been frustrated, he was furious, scolded several division commanders angrily, and strictly ordered the attack to resume immediately. Putting down the phone, he highlighted his turbid breath, and then grabbed the phone: "Temporary 76th Division, Fang Mingxu, when will you be able to attack?" ”
"Report to the commander, we have moved in place, and we will launch an attack in half an hour." Fang Mingxu replied loudly.
"I'll give you fifteen minutes, and after fifteen minutes, launch an attack immediately, otherwise you will hand over the command to the deputy division commander."
"Understood, attack in fifteen minutes."
Song Xilian was not worried about the Japanese reinforcements at all, within two hundred kilometers of the vicinity, except for Kanda, who was still struggling in the encirclement, there were no Japanese troops above the brigade, and the puppet army of a regiment originally stationed in Jingshan led his troops to flee south before he fled to Shimono, and finally simply handed over a request to surrender anyway, Song Xilian had no time to repair him, but just ordered them to establish a warning position in Yongxing Town to implement a guard to the south.
With Song Xilian's strong order, the gunfire in the city suddenly became fierce, and the battle went to ** again.
Song Xilian slowly walked out of the observation post, stood on the hill, and silently looked at Jingshan in the sun, this small city was bathed in blood and fire.
The smoke painted the sky with ink, and the light of the fire bewildered the city, which was built mainly of wood, and after the battle, it had to be rebuilt in its entirety.
In the face of this magnificent scene, Song Xilian's heart fluctuated, six years, six years, he led his troops to retreat from Shanghai to Nanjing, and from Nanjing to Wuhan, the Japanese army showed off its might on Chinese soil, rampant in all directions, the squadron retreated repeatedly, every time he retreated, his heart was full of unwillingness, disobedience, and now he can finally stop retreating, and now he can finally attack.
"Commander, pay attention to your body." The adjutant put on his coat, Song Xilian woke up from his contemplation, the sunset had already appeared on the horizon, and the sunset all over the sky dyed the sky as red as blood, and before he knew it, he had been standing here for more than two hours.
Song Xilian didn't speak, just silently asked the adjutant to put on his coat, the gunfire in the city was still there, the night breeze was getting cooler, the fire in the city was still there, and the gunshots wore far away in the night.
"Commander! Commander! Liu Huaifei, chief of staff of the 166th Division, ran quickly: "I found Xiaye!" I've found Shimono! ”
Song Xilian turned around abruptly and walked towards him quickly, not even noticing that the coat on his body had slipped off, Liu Huaifei ran to Song Xilian and stopped, and reported loudly without saluting: "Division Commander Hu reports that he has occupied the headquarters of Shimono Yihuo, and Shimono Yihuo has committed suicide by cutting his stomach, and is now clearing out the remnants of the enemy." ”
"Good!" Song Xilian's heart finally fell into his stomach, his hands were fisted, he was very excited, he knew what it meant to conquer Jingshan: "Immediately report to Commander Zhuang that our unit occupied Jingshan and killed the commander of the 58th Division, Shimono Yihuo, and is currently clearing the remnants of the enemy." ”
Liu Huaifei was about to turn around, but Song Xilian added: "Order, the 78th Army immediately withdraws from the city and assembles in the north of the city, the tank regiment also assembles in the north of the city, the 166th Division and the 40th Division of the Eighth Army withdraw from the city and assemble in the west of the city, and order the 95th Division to clean up all the remnants of the enemy in the city before dawn, in addition, order Zheng Youcai to come back immediately and participate in the battle to clear out the remnants of the enemy, and tell him that this is his chance to atone for his crimes." ”
"Understood." Liu Huaifei hesitated, but still said: "Commander, from the beginning of the assault on the inn to the capture of Jingshan, our losses are also very large, our division's casualties have reached 4,000 people, nearly one-third, the commander of the 1752 Regiment Li Zhijun was killed, the commander of the 494 Brigade Fu Ziming and the commander of the 1753 Regiment Hu Kun were wounded, and the casualties of the company platoon commander are still ...... counted. ”
Song Xilian interrupted him and shook his head resolutely: "No matter how big the casualties are, you can't complain, let alone ask for rest because of this." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, looked up at the still burning Jingshan, and then continued: "All the armies are fighting hard, the 101st Army and the 102nd Army have fought a blocking battle in front, are their casualties big?" It's definitely not small, but Lan Yundong didn't complain, no, Sun Zhen didn't, no, Feng Zhi'an didn't complain, still no. Huai Fei, after this battle is over, the main force of the Eleventh Army will be completely annihilated by us, and the entire situation of the battle may be reversed because of this, Commander Zhuang will not let us rest, and we have no face to ask for rest. ”
"I understand, even if the 36th Group Army is all wiped out, Kanda will be completely annihilated!" Liu Huaifei replied loudly.
Song Xilian nodded, no longer spoke, and Liu Huaifei turned around and left.
The sound of gunfire in the city had gradually faded, and only the light of the fire was left in the sky, and the wind sent a scorched stench.
"Dog!" Zhuang Jihua woke up from his sleep, Zhao Hanjie's figure disappeared in front of him, the room was quiet, a tear slipped through the corner of his eye, and he didn't feel like crying for a long time. In the dream just now, Zhao Hanjie came to say goodbye to him, there seemed to be Guo Yaoshi next to him, and a series of figures, vaguely unable to see clearly, they were all saluting him, and then turned around and left, he couldn't pull it back.
Eighteen years, from Whampoa to the present, a full eighteen years, the deserter, the young child, has become a mature and steady, brave and good soldier, but at the most glorious moment of his life, he disappeared, leaving a young wife and elderly parents.
Zhuang Jihua didn't know how to tell Ani at all, and he didn't even know where Zhao Hanjie's body was.
There was a sound of talking outside, and Zhuang Jihua could hear that it was Wu Ziniu's voice, and his voice was still so loud.
"What's the matter? Did Uchiyama come out? ”
The door was pushed open, He Wei came in, and behind him was Wu Ziniu, who was full of displeasure.
"Commander, Song Xilian reports, conquer Jingshan and kill Shimono Yihuo." There was a strong excitement in He Wei's tone, the gate of Jingshan was finally closed, and Kanda could no longer escape.
