Chapter 518 Dog Day Xiǎo Devil (Ask for Subscription!) ）

In Baishan County, with the efforts of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Manchurian Army, after more than a month of construction, it finally reappeared in front of the world.

Looking at the county town under his own command, it has been renewed. After a month of replenishment, the main division, which had lost three-quarters of its strength, was once again restored to the size of three infantry wings. The mood of the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, can be said to be very good.

At this moment, at the outpost position dozens of kilometers outside the city, the battle of jī had taken place and had already fallen. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, the commander of the division, was walking on the street with the chief of staff and several important officers under him, very leisurely admiring his achievements in the past month.

However, at this moment, a very disappointing voice swept away everyone's elegance. A communications staff officer, panting from the direction of the division headquarters, rushed to the front of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto and reported loudly.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the forward positions report that the outposts of our army have suddenly been fiercely attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the outposts have changed hands. At present, the 2nd Infantry Brigade, relying on the permanent fortifications on the forward positions, resolutely resists the offensive of the Eighth Route Army. The second brigade, requesting tactical guidance. ”

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's face was immediately enveloped in anger, and he roared loudly at the communications staff officer who reported the news in front of him: "Eight Geya Road, the hateful Eighth Route Army, has just stopped for less than a month, and it has once again provoked a war. Do they really think that our Kwantung Army is so easy to bully? ”

"Let's go, I'll be in command soon. In addition, I was informed that every unit of the 27th Division should be assembled immediately and ready for battle. After saying that, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto, who was angry, walked angrily towards the division headquarters not far away.

Rushing into the division headquarters, he saw officers of all levels who had fallen into a húnluàn in front of him. Lieutenant General Yoshimoto immediately frowned. However, in the face of the urgent military situation, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto still held back the dissatisfaction in his heart. In front of him, he questioned the deputy chief of staff of the division and regiment who ran to him.

"Deputy Chief of Staff, how is the situation at the front now. In this battle, how many heavy weapons and how many troops must have been dispatched by the Eighth Route Army? What exactly is their strategic purpose? ”

"Division commander, the specific situation is not clear. At present, the 2nd Brigade has successfully repelled two attacks by the forward units of the Eighth Route Army. The enemy and our armies are in a state of confrontation. If nothing else, the Eighth Route Army must be waiting for their reinforcements and artillery support. The deputy chief of staff hurriedly blurted out all the information he knew.

"Hún egg, what kind of battle is this fighting? Dujiāo has been on fire for so long that even the enemy's troop deployment and strategic purpose are not clear. And our situation, the enemy knows very clearly. It's just a hún account...."Lieutenant General Yoshimoto clenched his fists and said with an angry expression.

"Division Commander, what should we do next?" The chief of staff who followed immediately after asked.

"Immediately inform the commander of the chief chūn of all the situation. I ask the Kwantung Army Command to immediately send air force units to reinforce our department. At the same time, aerial reconnaissance of the enemy's forces, as well as heavy firepower. In addition, tell the 2nd Brigade outside the city to hold its ground, and forbid anyone to retreat into the county without my orders...", Lieutenant General Yoshimoto ordered decisively.

In the Supreme Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the commander, Senior General Umezu Mijiro, was rejoicing at the results achieved in various parts of the country in the past two days since the introduction of military control in Manchuria. A griased communications staff officer rushed into the office in a daze, waking Umezu Mijiro from his dream.

looked at the little-known Shao Zuo officer in front of him. General Umezu Mijiro, without any mercy, roared loudly. "Baga, what's going on, panicked, what kind of system...."

Hearing the roar of the commander in front of him, he thought of his own recklessness just now. On the forehead of the young staff officer, beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared. He quickly replied, wanting to divert the attention of the commander in front of him.

"Report to the commander, the commander of the 27th Division of the 27th Division in Baishan County, the commander of the Yoshimoto Division, sent an urgent telegram."

"Baishan County, the 27th Division of the Kwantung Army, is it a telegram from Lieutenant General Yoshimoto?" Sure enough, when he heard the word emergency, the commander's face was immediately shrouded in a serious look, and he hurriedly asked.

"Haiyi, the commander of the Yoshimoto Division reported that the county town of Baishan was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and asked the headquarters to send air support." As he spoke, the communications staff officer had already handed the telegram in his hand to the commander in front of him. ,

Ten lines at a glance, after quickly reading the telegram in his hand. The seriousness on Umezu Mijiro's face was once again enveloped in anger. After tearing the telegram in his hand to shreds mercilessly, General Umezu Mijiro, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally began to roar loudly, using it to vent the anger in his heart.

"Hún eggs, cunning Eighth Route Army, what do they want to do, can't they just let my Manchuria stop for a while?"

However, after a brief period of anger, the commander's face was once again shrouded in a solemn look. Facing the communication staff officer who was motionless in front of him, he was afraid that the anger in his heart would be drawn to him, and he ordered loudly.

"Order, the air force immediately sent a large group of hún fighters to reinforce the county seat of Baishan. Also, have the Chief of Staff come and see me, be quick. ”

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander....", the communications staff officer flew out of the office.

On the forward position dozens of kilometers outside Baishan County, several puffs of rising gunpowder smoke indicate that a fierce battle has just passed here.

Facing the forward positions defended by more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops. The 1st Guards Regiment, supported by the regimental artillery company. Although, at one time, the attack reached a distance of less than thirty meters from the Japanese position. However, in the end, they all retreated helplessly under the counterattack of the Japanese army's grenades. The two attacks not only did not achieve any results, but on the contrary, in front of the Japanese position, almost 100 corpses of soldiers were left behind.

One regiment and one company, as the main company of the whole regiment, also suffered heavy losses in the two attacks. Almost two dozen soldiers fell on the battlefield forever.

In the temporary headquarters of the avant-garde regiment, the regiment commander Daniel Zhang was frowning his brows, holding a telescope, motionless looking at a few hundred meters away, letting himself fall into thinking about the Japanese forward positions that had been repeatedly frustrated.

At this moment, the voice of Zhou Kang, the commander of the first company of the main force, reached his ears: "Regiment commander, let's rush again and again, I don't believe it, the position of the Xiǎo devil is an iron wall." ”

Daniel Zhang, the head of the regiment who had long been holding fire in his heart, listened to Zhou Kang's words. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered decisively: "Okay, then let's rush again." The main force has twenty minutes to come, and we will use the twenty minutes of our time to rush again. Now I command. ”

"The first company, as the sharp knife of the whole regiment, carried out the main attack from the front. Two companies followed. The second and third battalions carried out a covering attack on both flanks. Heavy machine-gun batteries, artillery batteries, providing fire cover. Five minutes later, the attack started on time..."

"Yes, regimental commander," all the company commanders replied in unison.

The roaring explosions and the dense sound of heavy machine guns sounded again on the battlefield. The remaining more than eighty fighters of the first company, tǐng had a rifle with a bayonet in his hand. Under the restraint of the commanders at all levels around him, the loose triangular attack formation once again appeared within the field of vision of the xiǎo devil.

Li Shengda, the platoon leader of the main platoon of the whole regiment, also had no accidents. With the remaining 28 people in the whole platoon, he rushed to the front of the entire triangle formation.

Looking at the front of me, the sound of shell explosions was constantly sounding, but there was no sound of counterattack from the forward positions of the Japanese army. Platoon Commander Li Shengda's heart did not have any relaxation. Because, from the first two failed attacks, Li Shengda can clearly feel it. The artillery fire in front of him could not have much lethality against the Japanese soldiers on the position.

And the xiǎo devils on the battlefield, at this moment, may be lurking in the trenches, waiting for themselves to walk in front of them, and then, launch the most fatal blow to themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Shengda's loud command began to sound back and forth in the middle of the loose offensive formation: "Comrades, stabilize me." Don't be in a hurry, move forward slowly... All bend forward, pay attention to hide your body, don't let the sharpshooter of the xiǎo devil give a roll call... Machine gunner, providing cover for fire at all times. ”

As expected, just when everyone rushed to the Japanese position, which was only a hundred meters away. On the position, which was still silent just now, countless black dòngdòng muzzles suddenly appeared.

Seeing the hot tongues of fire, he quickly shy towards himself. The platoon commander Li Shengda hurriedly ordered: "Get down, lie down, the machine gunners cover, and the rest of the people, crawl forward with me..."

Although, crawling forward, it was very good to reduce the number of casualties of the troops. However, it also slowed down the advance of the troops. In the middle of the slowly advancing line, faced with the jīng sure shè of the Japanese riflemen. There were constantly prostrate warriors, lying on the ground with their heads bored, and they lost their lives in an instant. ,

However, the shè blows of the xiǎo devil sharpshooters and the sacrifices of their comrades did not stop the soldiers from advancing. After the loss of more than thirty fighters before and after. The platoon, located in the position of the sharp knife, finally crept forward to a position forty meters from the Japanese position.

Forty meters away, with the difference between the distance thrown by a wooden-handled grenade and a grenade. In a situation where the Japanese army entered the throwing distance of their own grenades, and they were outside the throwing distance of the Japanese grenades. Li Shengda, the platoon commander, decisively gave the order to drop the bomb: "Brothers, throw grenades and blow up these dogs..."

More than 20 grenades emitting green smoke were thrown into the sky by the soldiers in an instant. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 grenades had already arrived in the sky above the Japanese position.

"Boom, boom, boom...", whether it explodes in the air or explodes after landing. In less than three seconds, more than 20 grenades turned into countless shrapnel, killing and injuring all the Japanese puppet troops in front of them at a very high speed.

Looking at the Japanese position, which had been completely shrouded in gunsmoke, Li Shengda did not let go of this favorable reality. Quickly jumped up from the ground, brandished the shell gun in his hand, and was the first to charge the Japanese position that was close at hand.

"Brothers, follow me... Kill the devil, kill..."

In the face of the more than 100 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who swarmed in, after the explosion of more than 20 grenades, less than 100 people survived, and the devil soldiers who had been nurtured by the god of bushido for a long time. Without any fear, he raised the rifle with the bayonet in his hand and launched a counter-charge against the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. wants to use the spurs he is good at to suppress the Eighth Route Army that charges in front of him,

However, just when the two armies were completely caught up in the hún battle, they were engaged in the most tragic stab. Followed by the follow-up two, three, two companies, and a living force composed of more than 200 soldiers, they joined the battlefield in time....

Time passed minute by minute, with the advantage of numbers. The xiǎo devils, who were less than 100 people, were constantly attrition and shrinking the defense line under the pressure of hundreds of soldiers. In the end, the remnants of more than 30 devil soldiers, under the command of a lieutenant squadron leader, retreated to a corner of the position, and fell into a situation where the entire army could be wiped out at any time.

In the headquarters of the Japanese forward position, he saw that the first line of defense of his forward position had been breached. The captain waited for a pair of eyes that could almost breathe fire, and ordered loudly.

"Yaga, Noda-kun is very stupid. More than a hundred soldiers of the Imperial Army could not even stop the Eighth Route Army, which numbered several hundred people. It's simply a shame for the Kwantung Army, eight checkered tooth road. Order the infantry artillery brigade, the mortar squadron, to immediately carry out artillery shelling, with artillery fire, to cover the entire forward position ...

"But, captain, there are still more than thirty surviving Imperial soldiers on the first line of defense..."Facing the captain's order, the deputy captain asked with a hesitant expression.

"Hún egg, is it important to have a forward position, or is it more than thirty warriors of the imperial army. More than 30 warriors, in exchange for more than 300 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, even if Noda-kun knows, he will feel very honored. Say no more, start firing right away. The captain commanded decisively.

"Hello..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."Just when three infantry companies and hundreds of soldiers surrounded more than thirty xiǎo devils, preparing for the final battle. A dense whistling sound reached everyone's ears. Just before everyone could react from the shock. More than a dozen shells of various calibers have already appeared above their heads.

"It's not good, the shelling of the xiǎo devil... Get down... Boom, boom..."The three company commanders who found the danger befalling above them had just given orders to the soldiers beside them. More than a dozen shells have accurately landed on everyone's side and exploded, setting off patches of blood rain.

The first line of defense of the Japanese forward position, under the continuous shelling of more than a dozen mén infantry artillery mortars, immediately fell into a sea of fire. Whether it was a xiǎo devil or a heroic soldier of the Eighth Route Army, in front of the flying single piece, all of them were treated equally, and they fell in a pool of blood in pieces.

"Dog's day, are you crazy, why are you even blowing up your own people..."In the midst of the flying artillery fire, a series of angry scolding began to sound on the battlefield.

And Li Shengda, the platoon commander of the platoon, looked at the dense artillery fire around him, and saw that in the midst of the artillery fire, one by one the heroic soldiers, in an instant, turned into a bloody corpse. Li Shengda, who has a full understanding of the Japanese army, couldn't help but shake his head and said. , "Xiǎo devils are not crazy. He wanted to use the remaining thirty or so devil soldiers on the battlefield to exchange for our three hundred lives. This account, no matter how you calculate it, is a very good deal..."

"Platoon commander, what should we do next, are we just lying here waiting to die?" As soon as Li Shengda's words fell, the squad leader who was lying beside him asked.

"Of course, it's lying here, with such dense artillery fire, as long as you stand up, you will definitely not survive for five seconds. Now you can only look at the head of the regiment. As long as the artillery company at the regimental headquarters can suppress the artillery fire of the xiǎo devils, we can take the opportunity to retreat and withdraw from the positions of the xiǎo devils. Li Shengda ordered loudly.

Just as Li Shengda's words fell, Daniel Zhang, the regiment commander who also discovered that there were 300 soldiers on the battlefield and could destroy the entire army at any time, was shocked and immediately ordered the nine mén mortars at the regiment headquarters to return fire.

The nine mén mortars, which joined the battle in time, immediately attracted most of the Japanese artillery fire. Seeing that the density of artillery fire around him had decreased, Li Shengda did not hesitate, and immediately commanded the remaining troops of his platoon to retreat. As for the other troops, they also withdrew quickly from the battlefield under the command of commanders at all levels.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and as the artillery units of both sides suffered heavy losses in the course of the confrontation. On the battlefield, the flying artillery battles finally stopped. However, what made the regiment commander Daniel Zhang feel that there were no tears in his eyes was that a main battalion responsible for the frontal attack, more than 300 soldiers. At this moment, less than half of the troops left after successfully withdrawing from the Japanese positions were left.

As for Li Shengda's company, because it rushed to the forefront of the entire army, it can be said that it bore the brunt of it. A company, nearly a hundred fighters, and those who were able to continue the battle were already 48 people left. What's more, the entire company, except for Li Shengda, successfully retreated because of minor injuries. All the remaining company platoon commanders fell into the artillery fire of the xiǎo devils.

"Hún egg, the xiǎo devil of the dog day, is simply inferior to a beast, and he doesn't even let go of his own people." After listening to the losses of the first battalion, regiment commander Daniel Zhang clenched his fists and scolded fiercely.
