Chapter 225: Shanghai 18
The Qianjing checkpoint is now in ruins, except for some fortifications, there are ruins everywhere, and there is no longer a slightly better house.
"Come on, this is a meat bun, eat it while it's hot." Student Luo Zhiming took out a slightly larger bun from the wooden bucket and handed it to the wounded.
In addition, there were some students and citizens scattered in the trenches to give food to the soldiers, and at this time, the whole Shanghai was in flames, and the Liuhe River, which was now regarded as a breakthrough by the Japanese army, was the most fiercely fought. Except for a few seriously wounded soldiers who were carried down from the battlefield every day, the others were soldiers who died directly. The rumbling sound of guns was louder and louder day and night. There was hardly any break. And the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side, the seriously wounded are also being sent down like an assembly line, and even the students who have never seen blood before are strong enough to accept death and injury at this time.
"Whew!"
"Lie down!" The wounded, who was still in a state of weakness just now, suddenly jumped up and threw Luo Zhiming down and pressed him to the ground.
Rumble!
A huge explosion sounded, and the mud full of bloody smell mixed with shrapnel scattered and splashed in all directions, and after a muffled snort on his body, Luo Zhiming felt that something hot and humid flowed onto his face. Reached out and touched it, it was blood!
"How are you?" Luo Zhiming immediately reacted to the soldiers who overwhelmed them. The soldier on his back was lying on his stomach softly, without a trace of strength, Luo Zhiming flashed a trace of panic in his heart, and when he turned over, the soldier had already slipped to the ground motionless.
"You, how are you?" Luo Zhiming's trembling hand took the wounded soldier's arm and turned the wounded soldier over head-on. It's already a bloody face. No breath.
Luo Zhiming didn't even know the name of the wounded soldier. But the other party lost his life because he saved him. Looking at the soldier's silent but still youthful face, perhaps the wounded soldier was not older than him.
.......The Japanese army has the pride of the Japanese army, and the entire division is blocked in the Liuhe River and cannot advance an inch, and even the front-line positions have been lost many times.
"Quick, evacuate all students immediately!" No one noticed Luo Zhiming's abnormal expression. Although this wounded soldier has the grace to live for Luo Zhiming, it is normal for a soldier to die on the battlefield, under the onslaught of the Japanese army, most of the remaining soldiers, officers don't even have time to grieve, because the war is so tragic that less than half of them can still stand in the next moment.
Under the cover of artillery, the Japanese shouted the slogan of the charge such as "Long live the emperor", and this charge was still a brigade-sized pig assault tactic. If it is not limited by the terrain. I am afraid that at this time the Japanese army has already used a charge at the wing level.
Da-da, bang. The sound of machine rifles converging.
Kill!
In the face of the frenzied attack of the Japanese army, the mixed 4th Brigade did not show weakness and chose to attack head-on. The soldiers of the brigade jumped out of the trench with rifles in hand and fought the Japanese soldiers.
The students who were retreating under the protection of the squad of soldiers watched the battlefield from time to time being stabbed into the body by Japanese bayonets and falling, or the soldiers stabbing Japanese soldiers to the ground. The soldiers melted as quickly as the ice and snow in the sun, but these heroic soldiers still carried their guns without hesitation, generously went to the death, and used their lives to defend the position and defend the dignity of the Chinese nation. Most of the girls in the students had covered their mouths and wept.
Above the sky, the hurried Chen Honglu Air Formation gave Jiang Wenhao the fourth brigade to try its best to cover the safety of the sky. The armies of both sides, whether they are air forces or ground forces, have been fighting fiercely as always, and the positions of the two sides have changed hands several times in the repeated battles between you and me.
"Chief of Staff Li was killed, the commander of the three infantry regiments, Commander Liao, was killed, and Commander Zhou was wounded. Twelve battalion commanders, six killed, two seriously wounded, two lightly wounded. There are only two intact ones. Fifteen of the twenty-four battalion lieutenants were killed and three were seriously wounded. Six of them were still on the battlefield with minor injuries and intact. Twenty-seven of the thirty-eight company commanders were killed and three were seriously wounded. Three of them were slightly injured and did not get out of the line of fire. Only five are intact. The platoon commander, squad leader has already changed at least two rounds. ”
Jiang Wenhao, who usually always has a straight face, couldn't help but look miserable at this time, and now the entire mixed fourth brigade has almost been demolished by the Japanese army, if it weren't for the 15th Route Army, there are two battalion deputies under the battalion commander. The backbone officers had to be replenished in time, otherwise the mixed Fourth Brigade would have been directly destroyed by the Japanese army because of the problem of officers. However, now it is similar to the result of being directly destroyed, the entire mixed brigade came with more than 9,000 people, and at this time, the total number of soldiers who were slightly injured and did not leave the line of fire was less than 1,600. Not even a single regiment was stuffed. If the Japanese army uses another brigade-level charge, I am afraid that the mixed four brigades will really be completely destroyed.
The loss of personnel is only a part, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is also extremely heavy. A 18-gun 75MM mountain artillery battalion brought over, and an 18-gun field artillery battalion combined at this time, there were only four left. THERE WERE THREE HEAVY MACHINE GUNS LEFT, AND ONLY ONE 37MM FLAT-FIRE GUN REMAINED. THERE ARE ONLY TWO LEFT OF THE 150MM HEAVY MORTAR BATTALION. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF 82MM MORTARS WAS ONLY FIVE.
"Killing a thousand enemies, losing 1,34 yourself, and mixing into four brigades has reached the point of exhaustion. According to this style of play, I am afraid that it will not be surprising to hear the news of the total annihilation of the four brigades in a day or two. Feng Zhanhai pinched the battle report in his hand, and the slightly trembling hands had already appeared the heavy heart under his seemingly calm expression.
"In addition, there are only four flight formations sent to Shanghai that can fly back, and two of them are seriously injured, except for dismantling some more important parts, they can only be scrapped." Xu Shiying, a staff officer of the Aviation Department, also added.
"The Japanese army is a great power after all, Jiang Wenhao can achieve this result in Liuhe, and those soldiers who died in battle are not in vain, I plan to establish a war history museum in Lanzhou to store the remains of these fallen soldiers, records, so that future generations will always remember their contributions today." Jiang Li sighed, although he said that Ci was not in charge of the army, but in just half a month, a mixed brigade with sufficient specifications to build a division fought with the Japanese army to this extent, which was enough to make all the senior officers of the 15th Route Army present overwhelmed.
Hearing Jiang Li's idea of building a war history museum in Lanzhou, everyone present unanimously agreed that these people were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the nation, so were they reluctant to waste some time and energy to do something meaningful for these people after they died?
"When will the machinery purchased by the senior director arrive?" Jiang Li asked Chen Shiying. (To be continued.) )
