Chapter 117: Heaven and Earth have been low for a long time
Gunshots rang out all around, and it was on fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info There was only the southeast corner, and the soldiers did not fire a single shot. It became more and more clear to the Japanese who rushed up from the opposite side, it was already a hundred meters.
Xiaolu wanted to put them fifty meters away, and a platoon of guns could be put out to kill the enemy better. At this time, the gun went off, and a devil fell. The other student soldiers heard the gunshots and started shooting as well.
Qian Jinxin's voice came from the other side: "Shoot slowly, aim and shoot, how you practice." Don't be afraid. ”
One of the student soldiers suddenly jumped up and shouted, "I hit!" ”
When Xiaolu saw it, he shouted, "Lie down!" Lie down! ”
The student soldier's body suddenly shook, as if he had been pushed and fell.
The student soldiers panicked. The first few devils took the opportunity to rush up, and they were more than ten meters away.
The first devil was mixed and poured. The second one stopped abruptly. A black hole in his eyebrows also fell. The remaining few were frightened and began to retreat. As a result, on the way back, they fell down one by one.
Mark Zheng's voice came: "Shoot slowly!" Save Bullets! Aim to hit! Don't worry! ”
Du Xigang was also shouting: "Fight according to the training." Don't be afraid! ”
The devil repelled.
Gunfire continues in other directions. Seeing that the devil had retreated, the student soldier had poor marksmanship and shouted, "Stop shooting." Stop shooting. Only four instructors shot. ”
The student soldiers obeyed the order and stopped. The four men began to shoot, and at this time the devil had already run out and entered 200 meters, and the four men picked up their rifles and fired. After firing the bullet, change the gun. By the time the devils withdrew seven or eight hundred meters, more than 30 devils were killed.
The student soldiers were jubilant. For every time one was killed, the student soldiers cheered and their morale was high, because the sad atmosphere of the death of their comrades was swept away.
Xiaolu did this on purpose, because he knew that there were more casualties now, and he was afraid that his morale would be affected.
Because of the training, and a few instructors chasing their butts and shouting, these student soldiers turned out to be okay this time. Du Xigang said: "These student soldiers are fighting well. Students, just smarter than us rough people. ”
Xiao Lu was relieved that he had indeed changed the battle now.
In the second charge, the students fought much better, and some of them were no longer afraid. By the fourth charge, the students were already very calm. Although they are not skilled, they are no longer afraid and chaotic, and the casualties are reduced, and the number of deaths due to stupid mistakes is greatly reduced.
Noon came. The entire Nanyuan North China Army lost eight or nine hundred people, and the Japanese on the periphery also lost eight or nine hundred people. The morale of the army is still solid. Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu are also very confident.
After the city of Beiping found out, those who advocated Song Zheyuan's withdrawal from Beiping were silent.
The unexpected performance of the student soldiers also boosted the confidence of other units. During the interval of the battle, Xiaolu found Zhao Dengyu and suggested that he launch a counter-charge and take the opportunity to go out of the city to snatch back a batch of weapons and ammunition from the corpse of the devil. Because of the general concentration of guns this morning, the bullets lasted for a short time.
In the afternoon, the 2nd Battalion of the 6th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Brigade made a counter-charge. After the air raid of more than 1,000 horses, there were still more than 700, and although the cavalry counter-charge lost a number of men and horses, it greatly boosted morale.
Other units also launched a counter-charge, some using broadswords to fight the enemy's bayonets, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The student soldiers did not countercharge, but only rushed while the enemy was retreating, taking the opportunity to grab some weapons.
In the evening, the Japanese played white chess and demanded that the body be pulled back. Tong Linge was ready to promise them. Xiaolu was also at the command headquarters and said, "No, it's not allowed." The Japanese were running out of ammunition and wanted to take back the arms and ammunition from the corpses. ”
In the evening, the enemy retreated.
Peiping immediately reported the news to Nanjing. Nanjing was very happy and immediately sent the news to the newspaper. Several newspapers published outside the issue: "Nanyuan Victory! "Nanjing is boiling.
However, the quarrels within the Nanjing government were fierce, and many of the main peace parties were dissatisfied with the North China Army, fearing that it would cause a greater war for the Japanese. There are also people who feel optimistic and demand that the Nanjing government resolutely support the North China government's war of resistance, but this is an absolute minority.
At night, Xiaolu found Tong Linge and Zhao Dengyu and other commanders, and suggested going out at night to touch the weapons on the corpses. By the way, I told the experience in the Tohoku. The Japanese tactics are dull, and we can take advantage of them.
At twelve o'clock in the night, the various units of the North China Army in Nanyuan sent 3,000 men to the position to touch their weapons. Half an hour later, most of them were back, and everything was going well, except for sporadic contact between those in the southwest and the Japanese. Judging from the number of weapons recovered, the number of people who died yesterday was close to 2,000.
The next morning, instead of attacking, the devil demanded that the body be retrieved. The North China Army acceded to their request, and it took a morning for a team of several hundred corpses to collect the bodies. The body was retracted, smoke rose in the distance, and it was they who began to burn the body.
The North China Army also took the opportunity to collect the bodies and bury them in an open space northwest of the barracks. The graves were densely packed, and a large wooden sign was erected.
The North China Army is very strange, why don't the devils attack? When I asked Beiping, it turned out that the devil's organ was negotiating with Song Zheyuan, protesting against the Chinese army killing their soldiers and demanding that they withdraw their troops from Nanyuan.
In the Nanyuan barracks, the officers gathered together to eat. Lunch, like breakfast, is still horse meat. Now that the war is going on, the pork is gone, and only horse meat is eaten.
Brigade Commander Dong Shengtang said: "If you win, he will immediately soften." ”
Zhao Dengyu said: "I still remember when Matsui said to Chairman Song and his ultimatum: Guanganmen's deceptive behavior is too insulting to our army. There can be no forgiveness. Therefore, I inform you that our army is acting alone. ”
Xiaolu said: "Actually, the Japanese do not attack today, the purpose is to wait for ammunition and troops. When their strength is sufficient, the offensive begins. I'm afraid that the next campaign will be even more intense. ”
Tong Linge said: "Fortunately, our morale is still very high. Able to last for a day. ”
Xiaolu said: "Our weapons and ammunition are enough for a day and a half of consumption, how long can we fight with bayonets?" The devil must have brought in a lot of troops today. Tomorrow at the earliest, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, the devils will attack again. I suggest that we look into a strategy for retreating. ”
Tong Linge said: "My scout has already reported that there are devils in the direction of the big red gate. The road is broken. ”
Xiaolu said: "If we break through from due north, it is equivalent to drilling into the pocket." ”
Zhao Dengyu said: "There are also devils in the direction of the original reinforcements in the south. They did get all our plans. ”
Xiaolu said: "I still suggest breaking through from the southeast." ”
After arguing for a long time, Xiaolu still failed to convince anyone. They also felt that Xiaolu's words made sense, but Xiaolu's information was not enough to convince them.
