Chapter 575: Capture of Sakhalin

"Knock Knock"

Soon, the M2 Browning heavy machine guns on the position began to roar, and a rain of fiery metal bullets slanted towards the front of the position.

The distinctive tarpaulin-like sound of the MG42 general-purpose machine gun also began to sound.

Looking at the Japanese army surging up like a tide, the expressions of the soldiers of the Eighth Company began to become grim, if they alone relied on their more than 70 people to block the attack of more than 4,000 outlaws, it was really impossible, but fortunately, there was a female soldier company today, and with the assistance of the female soldiers of the female soldier company, the Eighth Company was able to stabilize its position.

For the first time, Zhang Yanbo felt that the rate of fire of the rifle in his hand was so slow, and in the face of the Japanese army swarming in the dark night with no end in sight, Zhang Yanbo wished that the rifle in his hand would turn into a downpour and cover the front of the position.

"Boom" Two more Japanese soldiers stepped on the mines under their feet, but this could not stop the Japanese troops behind from charging in the slightest, and they stepped on the corpses of their comrades, and the Type 38 rifles in their hands were firing while charging forward desperately with red eyes.

"The Japanese are going to fight hard, and they have to strengthen their firepower on the position." Wang Xiaoguo, the commander of the eighth company, secretly calculated, he turned his head to look at the position of the female soldier company on the side, and found that the female soldier company was fighting well under the leadership of their company commander, but after all, it was the first time to participate in the actual battle, and after a while, the gunfire on the female soldier's position began to be messy.

"It's not good, the female soldier company can't stand it, so we have to hurry up and reinforce it" Seeing that the firepower on the position of the female soldier company began to have an indirect pause, the experienced Wang Xiaoguo immediately knew that it was a firepower pause caused by a lack of actual combat experience.

"Liu Zhaochen, you hurry up and bring three platoons and three machine guns to reinforce the female soldier company, you must not let the Japanese break through the position."

"Yes"

"All three platoons are coming with me, hurry up to reinforce the female soldier company"

More than 20 soldiers followed Liu Zhaochen and ran to the female soldier company next to him.

When Liu Zhaochen and the others had just run to the position of the women's soldier company, they found that the Japanese troops were less than 50 meters away from the front of the position. Liu Zhaochen, who was in a hurry, shouted: "Brothers, hurry up and drop bombs to drive the devil down"

"Hurry up and drop the bomb"

Under Liu Zhaochen's order, dozens of grenades flew out of the trenches, and a continuous explosion sounded on the position, and the Japanese troops were dizzy by a burst of grenades, and the attack also stopped. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Zhaochen hurriedly assigned the three squads to each platoon of the women's soldier company.

Liu Zhaochen himself ran to the commander of the female soldier company and reported: "Report to the commander, Liu Zhaochen was ordered to lead three platoons to come to reinforcements, please instruct"

After listening to Liu Zhaochen's words, the originally cold and pretty face of the female soldier company commander began to turn red, and their female soldier company, which had more than 100 people intact, wanted to let nearly half of the male soldiers who had been reduced to reinforcements, and it really lost all the companies of the airborne troops.

However, I don't complain about the female soldier company, the soldiers of the female soldier company encountered such a crazy attack when they participated in the actual battle for the first time, and they did not know how to match the firepower to the best extent in wartime, so that there was a low-level mistake that only the amateur army would make a firepower stop.

But now is not the time to be polite, anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't see clearly in the dark night, and blush.

"Platoon Commander Liu, you quickly lead people into the position to block the enemy."

"Yes"

The fierce gunfire that sounded on the position of the Eighth Company quickly alarmed the commander Cheng Kai in this area, although Cheng Kai received the report, but in this kind of black light blind situation, he did not dare to move troops indiscriminately, otherwise the entire defense system would be disrupted by accident.

"Artillery company, immediately block the gap in front of the position of the eighth company and the female soldier company to stop the charge of the follow-up troops of the Japanese army." After all, Cheng Kai is also a veteran oilman, and he knows how to reduce the pressure on the soldiers on the battlefield to the greatest extent in this situation.

"Boom, boom, boom" The self-propelled guns in the Cheng Kai tank regiment immediately began to shoot according to the pre-calibrated Zhuyuan.

The self-propelled artillery battery of the armored regiment is equipped with two types of artillery, one is a wheeled 100-mm cannon and the other is a tracked 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, and a self-propelled artillery company is equipped with two types of six guns for a total of 12 support guns, which can be called ferocious.

"Quickly increase the output of firepower" After the Eighth Company sent a company of female soldiers to send reinforcements, the firepower became weaker and weaker, and countless Japanese troops got closer and closer to the position.

"Watch out for grenades" came from next to an exclamation.

"Boom" Two violent explosions sounded in the trenches, and it turned out that the approaching Japanese troops began to throw grenades at the position.

"Bastard" Wang Xiaoguo raised the Suomi in his hand and couldn't stop shooting outward, and the barrel of the gun had become red due to the long-term continuous shooting.

"Click" came a few times, and it turned out to be the sound of a firing pin hitting the air.

Wang Xiaoguo just wanted to reload the magazine, but when he saw the barrel that had turned red, he sighed, put the gun down, grabbed the grenade from the ammunition box and threw it out.

"Boom, boom" two explosions sounded, and the Japanese army fell one by one. But the blasted open space was then filled.

"Quick, rush up, rush up is victory" Inoue Yoshio, who was standing in the middle of the Japanese army's charging formation, waved his command knife and kept urging the soldiers to charge, seeing that he was about to break through the position of the Chinese soldiers, his face was flushed with excitement.

"Zuo Zuo-kun, you immediately lead a brigade to charge to the right, I just heard the gunfire from the position over there, the defenders there are estimated to be a new army, and now their position is crumbling, you just need to work harder to take down their position, Zuo Zuo-kun, please"

"Don't worry, I will definitely lead the warriors of the empire to break through the position of the Shina people" After Sasaki finished speaking, he waved his command knife and pointed to the right, "The sixth brigade will follow me, kill and give"

More than a thousand Japanese soldiers followed Sasaki and launched a charge towards the right flank, at this moment, there were suddenly several whistling sounds in the sky, and more than a dozen shells smashed right around Sasaki, who was directing the troops to charge, and a violent explosion flashed, and Sasaki and hundreds of soldiers around him suddenly disappeared.

"Yaga, the heavy artillery group of the Chinese people" Inoue Yoshio immediately knew that this attack was likely to be a failure, and in his desperation, he no longer let the troops be divided into any formations, and under his drive, the remaining more than 2,000 Japanese troops rushed forward in a dense formation

On 1 December 1940, Chen Shaokuan, commander of the Chinese Pacific Fleet, and Guan Zhenglin, commander-in-chief of the ground, jointly sent a report to the Ministry of National Defense and the Presidential Office that more than 20,000 Japanese troops entrenched on Sakhalin Island had been annihilated and countless had been captured. At this point, Sakhalin Island, which had been occupied by foreign invaders for 80 years, returned to the embrace of China

When the news broke, the whole country celebrated, and people in major cities across the country spontaneously poured into the streets to celebrate the liberation of Sakhalin. Major newspapers and media also published the news with front-page headlines.

Ta Kung Pao's headline reads, "Eighty Years of Shame Gets Snow Today"

The title of the declaration was "The Blood of 5,000 Sacrificed Soldiers in Exchange for the Dignity of China"

All political parties and organizations across the country also highly praised President Su Tong, the initiator of this reconquest operation, and everyone knows that with this reconquest operation, Su Tong's prestige will reach a new height. The ancients said: There is nothing higher than opening up the territory and expanding the territory. Since his rise, Su Tong has been elected president by virtue of his feats in resisting foreign humiliation and defending the country one by one, and has won the support of the people and all walks of life in defending the country.

Although some people and parties have some complaints about this, saying that the president's move is a reckless use of force and too many enemies, they are all drowned in a sea of saliva.

Jiang Baili, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and other dignitaries gathered at Su Tong's house to celebrate the success of recovering Sakhalin Island.

"Jianming, with this merit, there must be no suspense about your smooth re-election in the general election two years later." Li Zongren smiled and said hello to Su Tong.

"You can't say that, Vice President Jiang and Vice President Gu are also very powerful" Chief Su, who was very proud in his heart, had a reserved face on his face, but the next sentence of this goods revealed his true nature, "They are still recovering, as long as we are careful, there is no big problem." ”

"You" Jiang Baili smiled and said: "I'm not too worried about domestic things, but now I'm really worried about foreign things." Jianming, you're dancing on two eggs now, and if you're not careful, you'll end up beating chickens and eggs, aren't you worried? . ”

Su Tong pouted: "Back then, Yan Laoxi claimed to be able to dance on three eggs, although I, Su, am not as powerful as him Yan Xishan, but it's always okay to dance on two eggs."

"Hahaha," everyone laughed when they heard Yan Xishan's "famous words" at first glance.

"But Jianming, you can make Roosevelt, the old fox, succumb and openly apologize to us on behalf of the government, I still admire it." Although Bai Chongxi has an arrogant personality, he still admires Su Tong for allowing Roosevelt to apologize to the Huaxia government on behalf of the U.S. government.

When Su Tong heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Brother Jiansheng, you still don't understand the virtues of the Yankees, if one day the United States finds out that we are an important threat to them, he must be the first to deal with us."
