Section 8 Recovering Wuhan X
The majestic trumpet sounded, which was an urging and a stern warning, only to advance, not to retreat. \\、/
On the hill, the two armies were already entangled with soldiers, and the bullets were exhausted, and there was no time to change the magazine, so they rushed up with bayonets; When the bayonet broke, he hit it with his fists and bit it with his teeth. In the trenches, there were entangled figures everywhere under the rocks.
At the foot of the mountain, Wang Zhen led his troops to climb up, while on the other side, Japanese reinforcements rushed through the artillery blockade line and reinforced.
"Boom!" A wounded Japanese soldier pulled a grenade in his arms, and several Chinese soldiers fell beside him, and then several explosions sounded on the position, and more than a dozen Chinese soldiers fell in the explosion.
"I'm your mother!" Shi Benrong was covered in blood, took advantage of the chaos to change the magazine, pulled the bolt, and fired fiercely at the Japanese army, two Japanese soldiers pounced from the side, his body turned slightly, and the trigger was pulled continuously, and the two figures flew out upside down.
The eyes of the Japanese soldiers were red, desperate, one after another, the bullets quickly ran out, and when another devil pounced, Shi Benrong didn't have time to change the magazine, and waved his rifle to meet it, at this moment, two gunshots rang out from the side, and the devil fell to the ground with an unwilling face.
The power of the Type 39 rifle came into play at this time, and as long as there was a short time, the magazine could be replaced, and then the slaughter was ensued.
When Wang Zhen led the team to rush up, the situation was basically controlled by the death squads, Shi Benrong and a dozen soldiers were stubbornly blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army, and the more than 100 death squads that charged, only these dozen people were left.
When the news of the loss of the mountain came, Kanda was a little desperate, before this he still had some hope for breaking out of the siege, he believed that with the martial courage of the imperial army, relying on the spirit of bushido, the samurai of Kumamoto would definitely be able to fight a bloody road, and the inferior Shina people could not resist the impact of the samurai.
But now, a gap opened at a huge cost was closed by the Chinese army in the blink of an eye, and now the Chinese army must be more cautious and cautious, and it is difficult to achieve results by relying on that kind of sneak attack. A sense of despair crept up in the headquarters, and almost everyone realized that a catastrophe was imminent, and that the catastrophe was about to fall.
Kanda's face was gloomy, the phone rang, and Ushijima called, asking to continue the attack, just to choose the breakthrough point at the next Jiwei Ridge. Kanda resolutely denied it, the morale of the troops had been demoralized, and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of continuing the offensive. He told Ushijima to temporarily stop the attack and wait until the evening to launch an attack.
"Division commander," Kozaburo Ishikawa, chief of staff, almost leaned over the map: "Come and see." ”
Kanda walked over in a few steps, and Ishikawa pointed his finger on the map: "Division commander, the Chinese army has a very strict defense of the south, and it is difficult for us to rush out of this, do you see if this can be done." ”
As he spoke, his fingers drew an arc on the map, from the yellow slope northeast of Changshou to the northeast, and then from the south bank of the Changshou River, after the west foot of Huashan, he turned around and headed south.
Kanda pondered with his eyebrows, this road, the road is rugged and the jungle is dense, which is not conducive to the battle of the large army. And this line is a bit far from the southbound breakout, which is very confusing.
"Okay, let's do it." Kanda nodded: "Order Ushijima to stop the offensive and move to the defensive." The artillery was ordered to quietly move to Huangpo, under the command of Major General Takehara, the commander of the 11th Brigade, and after all the shells were fired, all the heavy artillery must be destroyed. Elect Takehara to organize a forward team to attack at two o'clock in the morning tomorrow, and this time it must be prominent. ”
Kanda and Ishikawa did not mention the encircled 17th Division, they knew in their hearts that it was impossible for the 17th Division to be rescued, and that the 6th and 13th Divisions should be able to stand out, and both Kanda and Anan would thank God for their Aunt Amaterasu.
"Report, the commander of the Hirabayashi Division called." A report came from behind him, and the chief of staff, Hiranuma, sent a telegram, and Kanda took it and put it on the table in obscurity.
Ishikawa picked it up, and there were only a few short sentences on it: "Fangwan is lost, the division is divided, and it is unable to get through, I hope to act quickly, my department will do everything we can, and I wish the martial arts a long time." ”
In order to hold back the four middle **, the 17th Division has done its best, from the division commander Pinglin Shengren to the ordinary soldiers, there is no idea of survival, and the entire east bank of Guanzhuang Lake is fighting fiercely. Fighter planes raged in the sky, the ground was full of fire, and the smoke of the explosion obscured the earth, leaving only thick blood between heaven and earth.
The squadron relied on strong troops to attack the positions of the Pinglin Sheng people from all directions, and the 17th Division gritted its teeth and fought to the death, every village, every house, and every courtyard wall were holding on, there was no retreat, no reinforcements, only fighting, constantly fighting.
When the bullets ran out, they used bayonets to meet the impact of the ** team; The bayonet was broken, and the butt of the rifle was used to meet the bullets of the squadron; was wounded, so he rolled into the squadron with a grenade and the team of the first squadron.
Positions are lost everywhere, and every position lost means that all the defenders here are killed.
The Charger pierced through the flames of the explosion, echoing across the burning battlefield. The high shouts shook the heavens and the earth, and the fluttering military flags appeared and disappeared in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Division Commander!" An officer wrapped in bandages and gunpowder smoke rushed out of the smoke, and reported to Pinglin Shengren in a hurried tone: "Shanggou Zhuang is lost, Wu Teng Zhongzuo is killed, and all the jade of the brigade is broken. ”
Hirabayashi Shengren's face was expressionless, and he was not moved in the slightest, but he held his beloved command knife tightly, and there was no movement in the command post. The officer looked at it, grabbed the command knife and was about to rush into the smoke again, when Hirabayashi Shengren's emotionless voice sounded.
"Kanda-kun wants to break through tonight, we must hold back the main force of the Shina Army, and I order that all officers must not commit suicide before dawn, and must not launch a suicidal charge. This order is issued immediately! ”
But Hirabayashi Morito didn't know if his order could be conveyed to the troops below, the entire division had been cut off, telephone contact had already been cut off, and each unit could only fight on its own, with one village guarding one village and one room guarding another.
The officer bowed slightly, solemnly saluted Pinglin, and then left the division headquarters without looking back. Now the number of Hirabayashi's divisional headquarters has been drastically reduced, only a few telegraph operators remain, the code book has been destroyed, the military flag has been burned, and the soldiers on guard are just silently clenching the guns in their hands.
The 17th Division's dying struggles still surprised the Chinese generals, and the continuous onslaught also brought a lot of casualties, and by nightfall, the offensive of the squadron gradually weakened, and when the night completely covered the land, the gunfire in the Guanzhuang Lake area almost completely subsided.
In the newly occupied villages, the soldiers cowered in the corners, chewing on the food brought by the front team, watching their wounded comrades being carried down on stretchers
Guo Xunqi quietly walked into the village with a few guards, the fierce battle that had lasted for more than 20 days, the 102nd Army was extremely tired, the tenacity of the 17th Division surprised him a little, the theater command and Sun Zhen's command were extremely dissatisfied with the progress of the battle, and they had called several times to reprimand.
"Would you rather be ashamed to attack a weak enemy army with an absolutely superior force, and to delay it for several days? All generals should review their tactics, strengthen coordination, and completely annihilate Pinglin within three days!! Once again, we will not be spared any act of cowardice and preservation of strength!! I hope you will do it yourself!! Cut! Cut!!! ”
The continuous exclamation marks represent the anxiety and anxiety of the solemn commander in the theater command, and it is right to think that the four armies, 100,000 people besieged less than 10,000 devils, and fought for five days, but they were not completely annihilated, which also makes people blush.
Under the urging of repeated telegrams in the theater, the generals of all units were ruthless, went to the front line to supervise the battle, and fought hard for two days before finally completely splitting the 17th Division into four or five small groups, but even so, no one was sure that the 17th Division would be completely wiped out tomorrow.
After analyzing the battle situation, Yuan Changhui quietly suggested to Guo Xunqi that what the theater wanted was the Pinglin Sheng people, and as long as the Pinglin Sheng people were eliminated, the task of completely annihilating the Pinglin in three days could be completed. Guo Xunqi mobilized his troops, and the direction of attack was directed at the headquarters of Pinglin Shengren, now Pinglin Shengren is in front, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, the end of Pinglin Shengren will come.
There was a groan from the ruins on the side of the road, and when the two members of the front team heard it, they hurriedly shouted that there were still people here, and then four or five people ran over to move the ruins covering it, and carried out a wounded man from inside, and in the dim light of the fire, it was impossible to see the appearance of the wounded, and the military uniform had been covered with gunsmoke, mud and blood.
A female nurse ran to bandage the wounded, and the two team members comforted the wounded beside them, and when they stood up, the wounded's hand quietly reached out to her waist, "He's Japanese!" The nurse suddenly saw the wounded's uniform, and a hideous smile appeared on the wounded's face, and a violent explosion sounded.
Guo Xunqi was almost rushed by the shock wave of the explosion, and when he stood firm, the guards had already rushed over to see him protect, he pushed away the guards who were blocking in front of him, and then looked at the place where the explosion just now, the stretcher had been torn apart, and the nurse pounced on the wounded, she saw the grenade with the pull ring at the last moment, and in a hurry, she used her body to cover the two members of the front team, and the two team members were only slightly injured.
"Bury our people well." Guo Xunqi ordered in a deep voice: "Inform all troops, carefully check the wounded, and beware of the Japanese wounded from being mixed." Also, in this battle, no prisoners will be left, and this order must be strictly enforced. ”
The sound of the explosion alarmed the troops in the village, and when the soldiers saw that the commander was here, they hurriedly reported to the commander, and the regiment commander Li Shusen hurriedly ran over, and complained again and again before saluting.
"Commander, why are you here, it's too dangerous here, go to the regimental headquarters."
"There's a danger." Guo Xunqi didn't care: "What about the casualties? ”
"The regiment lost 520 killed and 270 wounded. The attrition amounted to 50%. The battalion commander lost one person killed and one wounded, and the company commander lost six killed and three wounded, leaving not one left. Li Shusen sighed, the 102nd Army has been fighting continuously, and from the storming of the inn to the present, the troops have been seriously reduced, especially the company platoon commander.
The 49th Group Army has always advocated officers to lead the charge, so the company and platoon-level officers suffered heavy casualties.
"If you want to resist it, it will be much easier to eat Hirabayashi Shengren." Guo Xunqi also sighed, in the past, he always believed that the Japanese army mainly relied on firepower superiority in combat, but now both firepower and strength are several times that of the Japanese army, but the casualties are still so large that it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
