Taking advantage of the daze of the little devils on the city wall, the soldiers rushed into the city one after another, there were not many little devils in the city, and the resistance was very weak, and soon the little devils in the nearby city and on the city wall were shot and killed by the soldiers one by one.

In the south and north of the city, the soldiers of the 59th Army also attacked the city successively, but the soldiers who attacked the city found that the number of little devils in the city was scarce, so many soldiers gave up their plans to enter the city, detoured from outside the city, and pursued the little devils to the east.

Zhang Yunfei's order has been issued to all troops, and everyone knows that the little devil is already fleeing eastward, so in addition to the Third Infantry Division, most of the other soldiers of the 59th Army have pursued to the east, and the Third Infantry Division is preparing to pass through the city, go out of the east gate of the city, and pursue the little devil.

Ten kilometers outside Jingzhou, more than 2,000 people of the 612th Regiment have already arrived there, and everyone is not tired and is stepping up the construction of fortifications, digging trenches, building sandbags, erecting machine guns, erecting mortars, etc.

Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th regiment, looked at the soldiers who were already panting and puffing as they trotted all the way and marched ten kilometers in a hurry just now, and they had to hurry up to build a blocking position, and they were a little distressed to watch, but the situation was pressing, and it would not take long for the little devils to reach here, and the little devils who were eager to escape would definitely storm their positions, and if they did not build good fortifications, the casualties would definitely be very large.

Half an hour later, everyone's improvised trenches had basically been dug up, some fighters were reinforcing the trenches, and some fighters took out the few grenades they had brought with them, unscrewed the lids, and put them in front of them where they could easily reach them.

Some soldiers checked their guns and bullets several times, and many soldiers looked at their bulging ammunition bags with satisfaction, and because of Zhang Yunfei's support, Zhang Zizhong was given a large number of bullets, and all the soldiers of the 612th Regiment were each given 50 rifle bullets.

As a fighter of machine gunners, each machine gun group was allocated 300 rounds of ammunition, and the ammunition men were pressing the bullets into several magazines one by one, and on the machine gun position on a small high ground, the three Czech light machine guns were being erected, and several ammunition men were placing several 30 rounds of ammunition filled with bullets, and after careful inspection, they were placed next to the machine gunners.

The commander of the 612th regiment held a telescope, stood in the trench and carefully observed the front, estimating that the vanguard of the little devil should be coming soon, sure enough, only ten minutes later, the figure of the little devil appeared on the road ahead, and the commander of the 612th regiment immediately shouted: "Brothers, the little devil is here, everyone is ready to fight." ”

The soldiers of the 612th Regiment were ready, the soldiers were lying in the trenches, holding guns and carefully aiming ahead, the little devil in front was only a few hundred meters away, and the little devil may have found the blocking position of the [***] team and stopped the march.

At this time, the little devil had already seen the position of the [***] team in front of him, and Shigeichi Hata, who was sitting in the truck, had a very ugly face at this time, and shouted frantically in his heart, how could there be a [***] team here?

Hakuda Shigeichi got out of the truck worriedly, took the binoculars and carefully observed the opposite squadron, and after looking at it for a while, Harata Shigeichi's face was slightly better, because although the opposite squadron had built simple fortifications, the number was not very large, and it was only more than 2,000 people.

What made Hatada Shigeichi's mood even better was that the Zhong [***] team on the opposite side was obviously not Zhang Yunfei's 36th Group Army, because the Zhong [***] team on the opposite side was wearing the military uniform of the Kuomintang army, and the weapons they were holding were also varied, such as Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng, and 38 big covers, and there were not many machine guns.

Shigeichi Hata, who was in a slightly better mood, immediately said to the chief of staff of the little devil next to him: "Order, the first infantry brigade will launch a tentative attack to find out the situation of the [***] team's firepower points on the opposite side." ”

With the issuance of Hata's order, an infantry brigade of little devils, more than 1,000 people, with guns in hand, slowly approached the blocking position of the middle [***] team several hundred meters away.

Because the little devil fled in a hurry, he basically did not carry infantry guns and mortars, only a small number of crooked machine guns and grenadiers, although there were no heavy weapons, but Harata Shigeichi still adopted old-fashioned tactics, first tried to attack, and then used grenadiers to knock out the machine guns of the opposite [***] team one by one, and finally began a large-scale attack.

Seeing that the little devil touched it, a company commander of the 612 regiment said to his regiment commander Zhu Ming: "Tuanzao, the little devil is coming up, whether we fight or not." ”

"Pass my order, put the little devil within 200 meters before firing, try not to use a machine gun, and greet the little devil with a grenade when he gets close." Zhu Ming, the head of the 612th regiment, said immediately.

Zhu Ming's order was immediately conveyed one by one, and the soldiers carefully aimed at the little devil who was getting closer and closer, and when the little devil entered the position three or four hundred meters away, the captain of the little devil drew his command knife and shouted: "Kill and give." ”

Thousands of little devils launched an attack on the position of the 612th regiment while shooting, and the bullets fired by the little devils hit the mud on the edge of the trench, but fortunately, the soldiers were lying in the trenches, only half of their heads were exposed, and it was basically difficult for the running little devils to hit the soldiers who only showed a little bit three or four hundred meters away.

Many of the soldiers of the 612 regiment are veterans, and at this time they show a good psychological quality, although the bullets of the little devils hit the mud next to them, but the soldiers are very calm, carefully aiming at the little devils hundreds of meters away.

When the little devil entered the distance of 200 meters, I don't know who shouted: "Hit, hit me hard." The fighters of the 612th Regiment immediately began to shoot, and the sound of "bang, bang, bang" rifle fire rang out everywhere in the position.

The little devils who charged were knocked down one after another, and in such a confrontational shooting, the little devils suffered a great loss, and the little devils ran and charged forward, not only the target was relatively large, but also the accuracy of running and shooting was very affected.

The soldiers of the 612th Regiment were lying in the trenches, the exposed part was relatively small, and they were shooting on their stomachs, and the shooting accuracy was relatively high, all the little devils fell one after another, and the soldiers of the 612th Regiment sacrificed relatively little.

However, due to the lack of machine guns, although the little devils were knocked down a lot, the remaining little devils were getting closer and closer, and a veteran of the 612th regiment, seeing that the little devils had rushed to less than 50 meters in front of him, immediately picked up the grenade in front of him and greeted the place where the little devils were most densely populated.

The rest of the soldiers also threw grenades on the head of the little devil, and a series of explosions sounded in the crowd of the little devils, many of the little devils were killed, and the captain of the little devil who commanded the charge, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately ordered the little devils to retreat, and the little devils who were still charging just now immediately retreated while fighting.

Hakuda Shigeichi, who was watching the battle from a distance, his face was very ugly, the charge just now, the little devil did not take advantage of the little advantage, and none of the firepower points of the [***] team were exposed, but the little devil who charged left four or five hundred corpses and retreated, so that the morale of the opposite [***] team soared, and in the glasses, Hada Shigeichi even saw the opposite [***] team cheering and celebrating.

Shigeichi Hata, who was very depressed in his heart, immediately said to the little devil staff officer: "Order the second infantry wing to charge and break the defense line of the [***] team on the opposite side in one fell swoop." ”

"Hey, Your Excellency Commander, I'll deliver the order right away." The little devil's chief of staff immediately bent down and saluted, with a slight look of excitement on his face.

The chief of staff of the little devil has not seen the collective charge above the wing for a long time, more than 3,000 people launched a charge together, the scene will be very spectacular, the chief of staff of the little devil even thought of the defense line of the [***] team on the opposite side, under the charge of a wing, fragmented, and immediately collapsed.

The captain of the second wing of the little devil infantry, after receiving the order, was also happy, during the battle of Wuhan, one of his own wings once launched a collective charge, in one fell swoop across the defense line of more than 10,000 people in a division of the [***] team at that time, and now the opposite [***] team, only more than 2,000 people, the captain of the little devil wing seems to see the dawn of victory.

"Kill for ......," the little devil wing captain shouted with all his might, raising his command knife.

More than 3,000 little devils were also shouting, holding Type 38 machine guns or crooked machine guns, rushing towards the 612th regiment position opposite.

In the position of the 612th regiment, the regiment commander Zhu Ming looked at such little devils swarming in, his face was very solemn, it seemed that it was the charge of a wing of the little devils, whether he could block the attack of the little devils this time, Zhu Ming was not sure in his heart.

But his task is to block the little devil from fleeing eastward, block the road of the little devil, there is no way back, can only fight with the little devil to the end, Zhu Ming secretly made up his mind in his heart, the little devil wants to pass from here, can only step on the corpses of our 612 regiment soldiers, we are the last person to fight, and we must stick to the end.

Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, who had made up his mind, stood up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the little devil is not good at coming this time, at least it is a charge of a wing, we are not afraid of wasting bullets, all light and heavy machine guns, give me a hard beating, and when I run out of bullets, I will fight with the little devil with a bayonet to the end." ”

"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end......" The thunderous roar of the soldiers resounded all around.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ming's eyes were a little moist, what a good soldier, for the country, for the nation, in the face of almost twice as many little devils as themselves, everyone has no fear, even if they sacrifice their lives, they will not hesitate.

Seeing that the little devil on the opposite side was only five or six hundred meters away from the position, more than a dozen 60-mm mortars on the mortar position of the 612th Regiment took the lead in firing, and one shell after another whistled and flew into the crowd of little devils, and immediately, an explosion sounded in the crowd of little devils charging.
