In the face of wave after wave of Japanese attacks that almost did not stop, Liu Tieshi, who was at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, and suffered equally heavy casualties, could only support left and right. He carried the box gun in his hand and led the guard company to the front line again and again.

Just pressed down the Japanese attack again, Liu Tieshi looked at the watch hands on his wrist, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, now it was only about five o'clock in the afternoon, only about four hours from the official battle, the troops in his hands have not been able to make up a complete battalion, and now there are less than four companies left, and there are less than 30,000 rounds of ammunition left in the whole regiment, 1,000 grenades, 3 rockets, and 5 explosives packs.

Looking at the fewer and fewer subordinates and ammunition, he understood that if he continued to fight like this, it was very likely that he would not hold out until dark, and the soldiers would only be able to fight hand-to-hand with the devils with empty guns, and by then the 39th Regiment would become history, Liu Tieshi hurriedly shouted back to Pu Deshan, who was commanding the battle in front.

"Is there something Lao Liu told me about?"

"Lao Pu, you take a few soldiers to the division headquarters to get ammunition, and by the way, let the division headquarters replenish our troops or reinforcements, just rely on our current people to continue fighting, we won't be able to stand for long."

"Lao Liu, don't we have a war phone?"

"The phone line was blown up by a little devil's shell."

"Then use the radio!"

"Just got blown up by a little devil's plane."

"Then send the soldiers! I'm going to fight. ”

"We don't have any extra people to send out, when you go down, send the wounded to the rear hospital of the division headquarters, don't fucking the ink, quickly take people down from the mountain. Do you really want to watch the troops being wiped out? ”

Park Deok-san did not speak, with tears in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and led a squad of soldiers to carry the wounded on their backs. Along the communication trenches, dodging the shells that hit from time to time on the opposite side. Take a detour behind the mountain and run across the river.

Looking at the backs of several of them, Liu Tieshi raised his binoculars and observed the Japanese troops who were assembling at the foot of the mountain to attack again, and said to Lu Zhongfeng, the instructor of the second regiment and the first battalion who was temporarily acting as the battalion commander at this time, because the commander of the first battalion was seriously injured: "Zhongfeng, have you counted, how many times have we repelled the Japanese attack so far?" ”

Lu Zhongfeng, who was pressing the bullet of a captured 38 rifle in his hand, heard Liu Tieshi's question, and immediately replied: "Regiment commander." From noon to now, we have repelled eleven Japanese charges. Damn, this devil really has some evil energy. The charge was repelled by us, so he lay down on the mountainside and used his corpse to build a fortification to shoot at us, which was simply deadly. ”

Putting down the binoculars in his hand and looking at the few troops left around him, Liu Tieshi said to Lu Zhongfeng: "Zhongfeng, if we continue to fight like this, we all have to explain here." How, scared no? ”

The bullet has been pressed. was removing the bayonet to wipe the road seal, and when he heard Liu Tieshi ask, he couldn't help but be stunned. smiled and said: "I'm afraid of a ball, don't look at this little devil beating us now, it's called a ruthless." He definitely didn't think that the commander-in-chief would lead someone to raid his lair, and I think that now the commander-in-chief and other brother troops have surrounded Qiqihar, which is an important town for little devils. As long as we hold out here for more time, we will add some time for the commander-in-chief to attack Qiqihar. When the time comes, there will be thousands of little devils underground to accompany us, and we will not lose. ”

"Besides, we used to fight with the old sleeve. Lao Maozi's water Lianzhu, Liao-made Type 13, and even holding a big knife, a red tassel gun, a hungry stomach growling and fighting with little devils, the troops are only a few hundred people at most, which is like us now thousands of people fighting, full of food every day, and meat, and such good equipment, look at the portable machine gun we made ourselves, oh, call him a submachine gun to the commander-in-chief. Each of us has five grenades transformed from our own arsenal. Cadres above the platoon level will each have a fast and slow machine. In the middle of the battle, each person has at least 100 rounds of ammunition available, and such an exciting scene makes people's blood boil, and I am afraid of everything. ”

Regarding Lu Zhongfeng's answer, Liu Tieshi just smiled but did not answer him, but raised the telescope and began to observe again, and did not stop the offensive because it was getting dark. By this time there was a squadron of about a squadron of Japanese troops who had assembled and were ready to launch a new charge again.

Observing that the Japanese army was preparing to attack again, Liu Tieshi immediately ordered: "Each company checks the ammunition and prepares for battle. Comrades put on bayonets and prepared for white-knuckle combat. ”

Looking at the Japanese troops surging up again, Liu Tieshi, who had been squeezed to the ridge line on the top of the mountain, knew that he could not retreat any longer. If you retreat again, the position of the waist tun road class will be really lost. As soon as the position of the Daoban in the waist was lost, the positions of the brother troops on both sides could not be defended. Now what Liu Tieshi is looking forward to most is not reinforcements, but the news that the commander-in-chief has captured Qiqihar, as long as they capture Qiqihar, they will not fight in vain, even if they all die in battle, it is worth it.

This time, the Japanese army launched another wave of new offensives seemed to have the idea of squeezing them down even if they could not completely annihilate the anti-coalition forces on the top of the mountain. After burning the entire hill with artillery fire and incendiary bombs, there was not even a tentative attack, and the attack was fierce as soon as it came up. The flares hit as if they didn't want money.

Facing the fierce Japanese army, looking at the position around him that was blown into a sea of fire by the Japanese incendiary bombs, Liu Tieshi raised his hand and rushed the fast and slow machine in his hand at the Japanese soldiers who were following behind the fire, and after the magazine was empty, he grabbed a Type 38 rifle, put on the bayonet, and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Comrades, rush up and mix with the devils, they won't dare to be in **." ”

After he took the lead in rushing out of the already burning position, the soldiers who heard his shout either raised their rifles with bayonets or rifles with bayonets on their heads, and met the Japanese soldiers who had already pressed up.

The sound of the collision of bayonets, the ** sound of the wounded mixed with submachine guns, and the crisp and even somewhat pleasant sound of short shots from fast and slow machines resounded on the top of the entire anti-union position. At this time, after an afternoon of fierce fighting, the two sides have reached the limit, relying on perseverance and courage to fight, to see who can not stand first, the cooking squad of the 39th Regiment picked up kitchen knives, rolling pins, and iron pots and rushed to the Japanese army to fight.

Seeing that the attacking troops that had already rushed up the mountainside had already fought with their opponents with bayonets, the commander of the 10th Division, Michitaro Komatsubara, who had been holding a telescope to observe the battle, couldn't help but show a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. Is this a Bo before he dies? I even used a rolling pin.

With the efforts of all the officers and men of the 39th Regiment, after half an hour of bloody fighting, they finally dared to take down the positions of these Japanese troops, and saw that they had almost achieved their goal, but they were driven down by the opponent. Not only did he not be able to rush up at the end, but he couldn't even keep the mountainside that he had occupied, and he was overwhelmed by the opponent all the way down the mountain, and he retreated to the subordinates of the original starting position, Komatsubara Michitaro Osa's face turned blue, and he took out his gun one after another to kill several retreating soldiers, or the courage to stop the Japanese soldiers from being fought out by the 39th Regiment, Komatsubara Michitaro had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn and let the troops rest for one night in the attack.

In the first afternoon of the battle, Komatsubara Michitaro invested a total of ten infantry squadrons, an infantry artillery squadron, a rapid-fire artillery squadron and a mortar squadron, more than ten aircraft, more than 30 sorties, 10,000 shells consumed, more than 300 aerial shells, an area of only 2.7 square kilometers of high ground, under such a rare and fierce artillery bombardment, the trees that were originally overgrown with leafy branches were blown into a mountain of light with no grass left, and the rocks on the top of the mountain were cut off by two meters! The solid soil layer has become dusty empty soil! Moreover, due to the blockade of the Japanese army's artillery fire, the 39th Regiment was cut off from the rear division headquarters, and it was in such a situation of extreme disparity in the ratio of troops and firepower and extremely difficult logistics and supply, at the cost of more than 1,000 casualties, the Japanese army repelled dozens of Japanese attacks, so that the Japanese army paid as many as 1,800 dead and wounded and gained nothing!
