Chapter 32 Tianlu Detachment

Commander-in-Chief Chen's family is still in Beitai, including Lin Wenjing, who is pregnant with Liujia, invisibly giving great encouragement to the military and civilians, the commander-in-chief's wife and children are not gone, what are we afraid of.

Outside, Chen Zikun sat firmly in the Chinese military tent, not that he had the determination to live and die with the city, but that he had a complete retreat plan, which was a top secret in the army, except for the high-level knowing, the middle-level officers did not know, if everyone knew that there was a way out, then this battle would not be able to fight.

The Wuhan Raid at the Japanese base camp officially began, and part of the artillery and aviation troops besieging Beitai turned to Wuhan, leaving only one detachment of men and horses.

The detachment is a kind of temporary organization in the Japanese army to carry out a specific task, and the brigade and regiment-level troops composed of some men and horses drawn from the main field division are in charge of this task, and the person in charge of this task is a major general named Tian Lu Chaoichi of the 15th Division, whose own position is the commander of the infantry regiment of the third company that has been reduced to the number of units, and now an infantry wing that is not in addition to the formation, a tank brigade, and an artillery brigade have been added to form the Tian Lu detachment.

According to the tradition of the Japanese army, the number of this unit has been cancelled, and the former wing commander Okamoto asked Nidaisa to thank the emperor by disembowelment, and finally saved some face, and at the request of the brigade commander, General Ushijima Mitsuru, His Excellency Shunroku Hata finally agreed, allowing them to make meritorious service and serve as the vanguard of the attack on North Tai.

The Tianlu detachment is not in a hurry or impatient, it is very orderly, anyway, the back road of Beitai has been blocked, and the whole city has become an island, three fingers pinch the snail, take it steadily, why spend the imperial army's already insufficient heavy artillery shells, it is better to let the infantry press over one street and one house, anyway, the cost of replenishing soldiers is the money of a stamp. This is an evenly matched urban street battle, the Japanese army has sufficient ammunition and high morale, the disadvantage is that it is generally equipped with rifles with large bolts, the rate of fire is slow, and there is a lack of weapons to attack solid fire points, the advantage of the Chinese army is that a large number of rapid-fire type hand-held machine guns and Mauser pistols, although the firing range is not as good as the 38 big cover, but the firepower is fierce, and it takes advantage of the street fighting, and the disadvantage is that it also lacks heavy weapons, and the most used are grenades and Molotov cocktails.

Beitai is different from almost all Chinese cities, she is a new city, the houses on the street are all reinforced concrete structures, the grenadiers can only tickle when they hit it, the 92-type infantry artillery knocks it, but it is only a hole, the field artillery above 75 caliber can be effective, if you use 150 caliber heavy artillery, the effect is better, in the face of the complaints of his subordinates, Major General Tian Lu can only reprimand them: "Baga, the precious cannon should be used in the important Wuhan strategic battle, don't you think of a way!" ”

The imperial army is all brainless, in addition to brute force or brute force, when the Russo-Japanese War they were good at jade crushing charge, the fine tradition has been maintained until now, when they encounter a fortress that is difficult to overcome, they line up into a wall, shouting the slogan of long live the emperor like a mountain and a sea of mountains and seas, rushing forward, solving the problem with bayonets, but this way of fighting is too expensive, the weather is hot, the ground is full of dead people, the smell of rancid is pungent, and if the battle is not ended, it is likely that the plague will break out.

He was succeeded by a man named Yoshiharu Takeshita, a man who was a China expert and well aware of the human weaknesses of the Shina soldiers, and under his command, a special offensive began.

In the early morning, the soldiers of the Model 17th Division guarding the main street noticed the sound of heavy footsteps coming from the mist opposite, and when they looked out, they were shocked to see that there were hundreds of ordinary people who were forced to the forefront by the Japanese army, including old men with gray hair, women with babies in their arms, and children of seven or eight years old.

Behind them, a swarthy Japanese tank, and beyond that, there were cat-bent Japanese soldiers, who were already short, and when they bent down, they could only see the top of their hats and their shining bayonets.

"Little Japan, *** ancestor!" The soldier scolded and reported to the battalion commander.

In just one year, Liu Xiaoyong, a graduate of the Army Military Academy, has been promoted from warrant officer to major battalion commander, he came to the outpost position in a hurry, observed the situation with a telescope, and ordered: "Withdraw to the second line of defense." ”

The soldiers were puzzled: "It's not enough to just withdraw, little Japan is taking the common people to open the way, should we fight or not?" ”

Liu Xiaoyong said: "You just have to withdraw, I have my own way." ”

The forward soldiers quickly retreated to a position 100 meters behind, and the Japanese army occupied the position that had not been captured by more than 100 casualties yesterday without swords, but they were not satisfied, and forced the civilians to move the barricades and continue to attack.

Takeshita Daisa used a field phone to report the news of the victory in the first battle to Major General Taji, and the general was very pleased: "Takeshita-kun, the great task of washing away the shame will be handed over to you." ”

The second line of defense is still a barricade, with Makqin heavy machine guns in sandbag fortifications, but on both sides of the street are multi-storey buildings, which have been reduced to ruins after many days of tug-of-war, and the windows of the black holes are like the eyes of a blind man, which is eerie.

Liu Xiaoyong picked up the phone: "Master, the little devil is coming up, using his father and fellow villagers as a shield." ”

On the other end of the phone was Chen Qilin, the head of the Model 17th Division: "Boy, I don't care what method you use, hold on for ten minutes, and the reinforcements will arrive immediately." ”

"Yes!" Liu Xiaoyong agreed very simply.

Ten minutes, 100 meters, rat bogey, what to guard!

Only with his flesh and blood body, Liu Xiaoyong stuck the shell gun on his belt and picked up a rifle with a bayonet: "Brothers, meet on a narrow road~~"

"The brave wins!" More than 100 infantrymen rushed out of the barricades with bayonets.

The Japanese tanks found that the enemy rushed out, and immediately opened fire, and the people in front of them were beaten to tremble in the rain of bullets, and the spirits quickly lay down or fled to the ruins on the side of the road, the tanks continued to strafe, the national army fell to the ground one after another, and the barricades poked out the muzzle of the black hole hole of the Grusen 57 fast gun, this kind of old-fashioned artillery in the Guangxu period was not good in range and power, but it was the only weapon in Beitai that could independently produce shells.

The 57 caliber flowering grenade was originally used against the living force, and armor piercing was not its job, but the small Japanese tank skin was thin and sunken, and the fight was just right, and a shell whistled out, hitting the tank turret and knocking the turret out directly.

"Kill!" Liu Xiaoyong got up from the ground, bloody and bloody, like angry King Kong, and the two armies launched a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

I have to say that the Japanese army does have a set of stabbing skills, but the indiscriminate punching of the old master is killed, the Chinese soldiers do not pay attention to the rules and regulations, pistols, bayonets, machetes, and portable machine guns are all used, unlike the Japanese, who are so regular that they fight bayonets and return bullets, so the exchange ratio is basically one to one, and the cost is human life.

Repelled a wave of attacks, the compatriots who were hostages fled into the Chinese position, Liu Xiaoyong looked at his pocket watch, it was ten minutes early, but the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

For Takeshita Daisa, being able to force the enemy out of the trench for hand-to-hand combat has achieved the goal, he decided to repeat the old trick, sent a squadron again, and begged the tank brigade to send a Type 95 tank to open the road in front, the field road detachment is a temporary formation, the chariot brigade guys are full of complaints, very unwilling to work for Takeshita Daisa, they have their own plans, that is, to fight to the death with the armored forces of the Chinese army, after all, street fighting is a thankless job for tanks.

Fortunately, with the support of Major General Tian Lu, the tank brigade still sent tanks to cooperate, and the soldiers of the 45th Wing captured hundreds of citizens from residential areas as meat shields.

The second wave of the offensive began, and the roar of tanks was heard across the street, mixed with the wails of the people, Liu Xiaoyong picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.

At the forefront, it is their own parents! There was also the second sister with the child in her arms, their faces were full of fear and their steps were staggering, and the youngest sister was crying and crying, and they were all stupid.

Liu Cunren's family is very unlucky, the area where they live was first broken by the Japanese army, they didn't have time to escape, and became a meat shield, Lao Liu, who has done a lifetime of copywriting work, has seen this kind of scene, his legs are scared and weak, the old woman hugged her grandson, held her little daughter, and moved forward slowly, and the Japanese soldiers urged from behind: "Hayagu, Hayagu!" ”

"Dad, I'm afraid." The youngest daughter cried.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes, and you'll be fine in a while." Liu Cunren was in tears, it was nothing if he died, and his daughter was still young. Little Japan is really devoid of conscience, and they can't be spared if they are ghosts in the next life.

Liu Xiaoyong gritted his steel teeth, picked up a captured Japanese sword, and was about to jump out of the trench, when suddenly someone shouted behind him: "Lizheng!" ”

When the commander arrived, Liu Xiaoyong turned around and saw Commander-in-Chief Chen taking the division commander into the bunker, Chen Zikun was wearing an ordinary soldier's khaki military uniform, without a military rank, two big-eyed pickpockets around his waist, a body full of dust, and his face was full of black gas.

"Little Japan is desperate, can't let them succeed, Qilin, is the sharpshooter in place?" Chan said.

Chen Qilin looked at his watch: "It should be in place." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Then what are you waiting for, fuck it!" ”

The gunshots suddenly rang out, and the Japanese soldiers in the queue fell to the ground one after another, basically all of them were shot in the head and killed by one shot, but the current barricade did not fire a single shot, and the squadron leader was shocked, looking around, he could not see the enemy, nor could he see the flame of the muzzle, but according to the trajectory, the bullets should have come from the upstairs on both sides of the road.

He drew his command knife and gave the order, shooting at the rooftops on both sides.

The guns and cannons were fired in unison, and the smoke from the ruins of the buildings was rising, and Liu Xiaoyong took the opportunity to shout: "Get down!" ”

The common people hula all lay on the ground, the Japanese tanks hurriedly reversed, the chariots that lost cover became the target in the middle of the street, the strongest weapon of the Chinese army, the 88 gun, appeared, and a shell whistled out, piercing a big hole in the thin skin small tank.

"Kill!" Liu Xiaoyong was the first to jump out.

Upstairs on both sides, behind the windows, the expressionless sharpshooters calmly pulled the bolt of the Remington sniper rifle imported from the United States, unshelled, loaded the bullet, put the head of the devil soldier into the cross of the optical sight, and fired decisively, the sight was filled with blood mist, and another head turned into a rotten watermelon.
