Chapter 71: The Great War Breaks Out (No. 20, Third Update)
At ten o'clock in the morning of September 29, the Sujiatun Railway Station garrisoned the position of the Second Regiment of the Brigade.
Zhang Xinghan braved the heavy rain and rode to Sujiatun with Shen Xingye and a guard platoon to inspect.
Due to the heavy rain for a day and a night, the dirt road from Shenyang to Sujiatun has already been muddy, and jeeps cannot pass smoothly, but it is better to ride a horse.
After arriving at the Sujiatun train, Liu Guodong, the head of the Second Regiment, and others had been waiting for a long time.
"You're here, Brigade." As soon as Zhang Xinghan dismounted, Liu Guodong and several subordinates braved the rain to greet him.
"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan handed over the war horse to an adjutant, and together with Liu Guodong, he came to the headquarters of the Second Regiment located on the platform of the railway station.
"Where is the army?" Zhang Xinghan asked as he entered the house and took off his raincoat.
"According to the scout's report, the cavalry vanguard of the Yue army is less than ten kilometers away from Sujiatun." Liu Guodong replied.
"This rain has been falling, and the fighters of the air force can't take off, otherwise they can send some gifts to my cavalry." Zhang Xinghan lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "The important surname of Guodong Sujiatun, I don't think I need to describe it, right?" ”
"Yes, please rest assured, all the brothers of the second regiment of the inferior rank, swear to defend Sujiatun, and the people are in the position!" Liu Guodong immediately said.
"Are there any difficulties and needs? I'll do my best to satisfy you. Zhang Xinghan asked.
Liu Guodong thought for a while and said: "Brigade, if you can, it would be nice to get raincoats for the brothers, after all, I don't know when the weather will be clear, and if it goes on like this, the soldiers will not be able to bear it sooner or later." ”
"Well, I'll try to solve this for you when I get back." Zhang Xinghan paused slightly, and then said, "Let's go, accompany me to inspect the forward position." ”
"Yes!" Liu Guodong suddenly agreed.
Immediately followed Zhang Xinghan out of the regiment headquarters, and braved the rain to follow the traffic trench to the forward position.
Since the army was about to arrive, the officers and men of all battalions and companies of the Second Regiment had already entered a state of combat readiness.
The trenches were full of officers and soldiers who were holding out in the rain, and when Zhang Xinghan arrived surrounded by Liu Guodong and others.
Everywhere they went, the officers and men stood up and saluted.
"Brothers, hard work!" Zhang Xinghan touched the scene and said, "When I defeat Xiao Yueben, I will put eight big bowls in Shenyang City for everyone, and everyone will have a share." ”
"Sir, what if I die in battle?" A recruit who had just joined the army for a short time said suddenly.
Zhang Xinghan looked at his young face and said with deep meaning: "Those who died in the war also have a share, I believe that even if we die in battle, our heroic spirits will continue to guard Shenyang and the Northeast, so everyone has a share in the celebration banquet." ”
"Brigade seat......" The recruit was a little choked up and speechless.
"Brothers, no matter when, no matter how critical the war situation is, I hope everyone will be strong and brave to face it, because we are soldiers, we are soldiers of the Northeast, although the Northeast is big, but we have no way out, because behind us is Shenyang, that is, hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in Shenyang City!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xinghan raised his arms and shouted: "
The long sword is directed toward the land of the north;
The remnant sun flows like blood on the journey south;
The banner hunt beckons the war drums of the eastward march;
The yellow sand can't stop the footsteps of the westward expedition;
China has many strong men since ancient times, and they can be killed but not humiliated!
Loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve since ancient times, and they bid farewell to their parents with tears;
Full of loyal martyrs Yang family generals, loyal to the country Yue Wumu;
Place! Toward! Not! Enemy! Chinese! Army! Power! Military!
The blood-stained robe is the most beautiful garment for men;
The Horse Leather Shroud is the home of heroes;
Swords and guns pick the heads of Hu Lu;
The chariots rolled and rowed the bones of the barbarians;
Han thieves have not stood apart since ancient times, and Huayi can distinguish clearly;
Since ancient times, no one has died, Dan has taken care of the history books;
Dangping the Japanese Kou Qi Jiguang, the horse stepped on the Huns and Huo went to illness;
Violate! Middle! Chinese! He who! Although! Far! Must! Kill! ”
Zhang Xinghan's voice was loud and deafening, and he sang an impassioned and high-pitched Han national war song that circulated on the Internet in later generations.
At this time, the sky was still pouring heavy rain, and the soldiers of the Second Regiment present were silent, only the raindrops fell on their steel helmets with a crisp sound.
"Brothers, my Chinese nation has been a generous and sad person since ancient times, and now it is the autumn of the survival of the nation and the difficulties of the country, we should take the example of our ancestors, fight for the country and the nation, and use the bayonets in our hands to tell me that those who offend our Chinese have only one end, and that is death!"
"The war song I sang just now is the war song of my Chinese nation, and from now on, it is also the military song of my garrison brigade.
"The long sword is directed toward the land of the north; The remnant sun is like blood, flowing on the journey to the south......" under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan again.
Hundreds of soldiers of the Second Regiment began to sing in chorus, and in this impassioned and exciting singing, the soldiers only felt that their souls were awakened, and their blood was boiling.
From this moment on, fear and cold were insignificant to them, and from this moment on, they really had nothing to fear.
At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 2,000 people of the Sixth Division of the Sixth Division of the Chinese Army and the Sixth Cavalry Regiment rushed to the outskirts of Sujiatun.
However, the cavalry army did not arrogantly launch a direct attack on the position of the Sujiatun garrison brigade.
Instead, they rested on the spot and waited for the arrival of the main forces of the division.
Lieutenant General Masaemon Sakamoto, then commander of the Sixth Division, led the main force of the division at about 12 o'clock at noon and rushed to the outskirts of Sujiatun one after another.
The 6th Division, which successfully rendezvoused with the cavalry forward, at one o'clock in the afternoon, rested a little, and was ready for the attack, under the command of Masaemon Sakamoto.
Began to launch a tentative attack on the forward positions of the 2nd Regiment of Sujiatun.
About a reinforced squad, armed with a bayonet mounted 38 rifle and led by a second lieutenant, lined up in a straggler formation, braving the rain, toward the defensive position of the 1st Company of the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Regiment.
In the front trench of the 1st Company, the captain of the 1st Company, and the company commander Chen Feng, lay in the trench, put on his steel helmet with a pistol, and his eyes were fixed on the rapidly approaching army.
"Company commander, the little devil is here." A soldier next to him whispered a little nervously.
"I know, just like last time, the little devil is trying to attack, pass on my order, and when the little devil enters the effective range, the light and heavy machine guns don't need to fire, shoot them one by one with a rifle, and try not to let the devils rush too deep into our minefield." Chen Feng commanded.
"Yes." The soldier quickly conveyed Chen Feng's orders one by one.
At this time, the rain in the sky stopped for a while, but it was still drizzling, Chen Feng wiped the rain on his face, and couldn't help sneezing: "Damn, this little devil is really rich, everyone has a raincoat, but the old men are frozen, and I don't know when I can send us some raincoats." ”
"Company commander, I'll kill the two little ones later, and bring the raincoats on their bodies, don't we have raincoats too." The soldier next to him answered.
", what are you afraid of in the rain, no one is allowed to go out of the trenches without my order, the little devil's marksmanship is not covered, we can't give up our lives for two raincoats." Chen Feng reprimanded.
While the two were talking, about seventy or eighty devils had quickly approached within a range of about a thousand meters, a distance that was already within the absolute effective range of light and heavy machine guns.
However, the 1st Company, which was the forward company, did not open fire, and the rest of the 2nd Battalion in the rear of the position had to wait.
Although time passed, seventy or eighty devils walked in a zigzag line with bayonets, and they had quickly advanced to within 500 meters.
"Company commander, the devil is about to enter our minefield." A soldier snapped up.
"It's too far, wait for the devil to come within 300 meters before fighting." Chen Feng said lazily: "The minefield is so big, the little devil is not afraid to step on a few, anyway, it is raining now, and it is impossible for the devil's plane to come and dive and bomb, don't be afraid." ”
"Company commander, the devil is starting to speed up." The soldier shouted again.
Chen Feng's eyes were in vain, and when he saw that seventy or eighty devils suddenly accelerated their charge, he immediately opened the pistol safe, pulled the bolt, and was ready to go.
The devil's running speed was still very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and they rushed through more than a hundred meters and rushed into the minefield area about 300 meters away from the position of the 1st Company.
But the minefield explosion that Chen Feng expected did not happen, and seventy or eighty devils ran like flying, and instantly approached dozens of meters.
Without thinking about anything else, Chen Feng immediately pulled the trigger on the sky: "Call me!" ”
The sound of the gun was an order, and the more than 100 riflemen who had already prepared pulled the trigger one after another.
