Chapter 324: The Battle of Nanjing (2)

On the position of Yuhuātai, the headquarters of Deng Longguang, commander of the 83rd Army, was dusty, and the 12 ** 150mm field cannons of a field artillery wing of the Japanese army were constantly bombarding the frontal position of the 83rd Army.

There are only more than 800 people left in the regiment of more than 2,000 people who just went up this morning, and in the face of the constant phone calls from the regiment commander, Deng Longguang only has one sentence: "Resist, even if all the people are killed, they must resist, and the devils must not be allowed to occupy the position!" ”

Putting down the phone, Deng Longguang sighed and said to Chief of Staff Chen Wen: "Brother Zhili, you can select a group of non-combatants from the military headquarters to reinforce the 468th Brigade, they are almost unable to hold on." At 12 o'clock, the reinforcements promised by Commander Su came up, and we could return to the city of Nanjing to rest and recuperate. ”

Chen Wen said with some hesitation: "But can the reinforcements that Chief Su said arrive in time?" If we bring these non-combatants from the military headquarters to reinforce us, we don't even have the slightest reserve in our hands? ”

"Leave it to fate." Deng Longguang sighed helplessly, "Although I think that Chief Su is young, he doesn't look like the kind of lord who can't be saved when he sees death. Although the air support he promised yesterday didn't arrive, isn't it now also fighting in the sky with Xiǎo Devil's plane? People really tried their best, we can't ask for more, if he hadn't dragged the plane of the xiǎo devil, our position would have been lost a long time ago. ”

"Well, that's the only way, I'll go myself this time." After Chen Wen finished speaking, he walked out of the headquarters.

The 16th Division of the Japanese Army, commanded by Nakajima Imago, was launching an attack on Yuhuātai, and this division, under the cover of heavy artillery and chariots, was very arrogant and arrogant.

Looking at the fighters competing in the sky, Nakajima Imago scolded dissatisfiedly, "These damn Shina planes, if it weren't for their imperial planes, they would have blown up the opposite Shina position a long time ago." Do you still need to work so hard? ”

Nakajima Imasago turned his head and instructed the chief of staff, Mitsuo Nakazawa, to "order the Ninth Infantry Wing to intensify its attack, and be sure to capture the Xiǎo Heights opposite at twelve o'clock at noon, as long as we capture it, the rain will all be in front of us." , when the time comes, it will not be a problem for us to take the rain huātai. ”

"Hey!"

Nakazawa Mifu Daisa took the order and left.

On the high ground to the left of Yuhuātai, the 468th Brigade was struggling to support it, and they resisted the attack of more than 4,000 people of the 9th Wing of the Japanese Army with less than 3,000 remnants of troops. Mortar shells and heavy artillery shells continued to fall, and thick smoke billowed from the trenches.

After Chen Wen, chief of staff of the 83rd Army, came to the 468th Brigade, the brigade commander Huang Shitu asked Chen Wen to sit at the brigade headquarters, and personally led the reserve to the position of the 301st Regiment at the forefront.

"Zhou Mingyang, Commander Zhou" Huang Shitu shouted in the trenches, however, no matter how loud he was, the explosion of enemy shelling muffled his hoarse shouts.

"Look, Brigade!" Lieutenant Colonel Tan Liding, who was followed by his combat staff, pointed at the enemy artillery position in front of the left, "Is it the enemy infantry in motion or is it Commander Zhou?" ”

Huang Shitu raised his binoculars and noticed through the fierce artillery fire, "It's Commander Zhou, it seems that he is attacking the devil's artillery, you quickly notify the reserve team to enter the position, the devil in front is coming up again, I will take the spy company to support them!" ”

"Traveler!" Dan Liding immediately grabbed him, "I'll take the spy to connect." ”

"What are you fighting for, didn't you listen to the military command, the soldier just wants to find an early opportunity to die honorably!" Huang Shitu finished speaking for a while, "The spy company comes with me, reinforces Regiment Commander Zhou, and destroys the enemy's artillery position!" ”

At this moment, Zhou Mingyang did not know that the brigade commander had come up with reinforcements from the reserves, and he had already rushed to hide under a tree only a hundred meters away from the enemy's artillery position. I saw him unscrew the cover of the grenade, and then looked at the twelve mén field guns that were spraying tongues of fire towards our position, and hurriedly said to the soldiers beside him: "Every three people will shoot one mén cannon, and the rest will fight the infantry on the pào soldiers' position, on!" ”

"Up!" The soldiers roared in unison, and rushed deeper and deeper towards the enemy artillery position.

"Hit!" A row of grenades was thrown into the Japanese gun emplacement, and immediately several mén cannons were dumb. The first artillery was all equipped with light weapons, and as soon as they saw that the artillery positions were being attacked, they knew that it was the Chinese soldiers who were approaching, so they hurriedly grabbed the light weapons on their backs and attacked.

Zhou Mingyang saw that a Japanese machine gunner was desperately sweeping my assault unit with the help of artillery as cover, Zhou Mingyang did not hesitate to kneel down and make a point, and the machine gun immediately became dumb. He got up and was about to charge, when the "Da Da Da" machine gun rang out again on the gun position. Only then did he realize that the cunning Japanese soldier had not been shot just now, and Twenty immediately changed the position of the shè.

"Fang Tongqi!"

"Tuanza, I'm here!"

"You knock out the enemy machine gunners right away, quick!"

Fang Tongqi is a sharpshooter, a hunter from Yangquan, Shanxi, who is forty-five years old this year. When the 83rd Army passed through Shanxi, he had to follow the troops to the front line to fight devils. The commander of the army saw that he was old and persuaded him to live and work in peace and contentment, and he angrily ran to the regiment headquarters to make a fuss: "The devils have all hit the home, what are you living in peace, sir, if you don't agree with me to be a soldier and eat food, I will die in front of you today!" With that, he really pulled out his dagger and pointed it to his neck.

Finally, Zhou Mingyang made an exception to accept the old man, Fang Tongqi put down his shotgun and joined the unit with two hunting dogs.

Fang Tongqi looked at the situation and said to Zhou Mingyang: "Tuanzao, this guy is wearing a steel helmet, and his body is all in the steel plate of the gun position, it is difficult to shè. ”

"It's also difficult, our brothers are overwhelmed by them." Zhou Mingyang said anxiously.

Looking at the anxious expression of the regiment commander, and seeing that the Japanese army's two tǐng machine guns were suppressing our charging troops at the same time, it was obvious that they were buying time for their reinforcements. Fang Tongqi couldn't think about it anymore, and gently supported the beloved yellow sè hound beside him with his backhand, the Japanese machine gun in front of him, and made a gesture to go around and said: "Go around like this, jump up and ask for the back of his neck, ask for the back of his neck." ”

The hound, trained more astute than human, let out a "Wang" sound, like a sharp arrow flying around the Japanese machine-gun position.

At this time, two Japanese soldiers wearing steel helmets were only in charge of the shots, and the four bullet operators were respectively pressing the bullets on the two Tǐng Type 92 machine guns, and they did not know that there was any movement behind them. When a machine gunner bit his neck, the machine gun stopped, and the moment he was stunned, Zhou Mingyang and Fang Tongqi jumped into the enemy position at the same time. As soon as Zhou Mingyang entered the position, he saw the Japanese machine gunners lying on the shells and screaming, and the two bullet players were fighting with the hounds.

"Fang Tongqi, hurry up!" Zhou Mingyang shouted loudly.

Fang Tongqi raised his gun and killed two Japanese bullets, but the other Japanese machine gunner immediately turned his gun and aimed it at Fang Tongqi. Fang Tongqi was shot and fell, Zhou Mingyang rolled on the spot, entered a bunker dug by artillerymen, and suddenly heard that the Japanese machine gun had stopped, and hurriedly looked up to see that Fang Tongqi's hound had already pounced on it and bit the arm of the Japanese machine gunner. The opportunity was rare, Zhou Mingyang raised his formal rifle and raised his gun, and the commander's instruction was implemented here: strike hard at the enemy. But after the Japanese army was annihilated, the hound was also killed by the Japanese army.

After killing the Japanese army's bullet hand, Zhou Mingyang felt that his right side had moved, and he turned his head to see that it was several soldiers rushing over.

"Tuanza, the devil has struck back."

"Where?"

"Front, a large number of frontal devils' infantry came."

When Zhou Mingyang saw it, it turned out that the Japanese soldiers wearing yellow sè military uniforms poured up like locusts.

"Quick, retreat!" Zhou Mingyang hurriedly gave an order.

"Hold where you are, don't retreat, and make full use of the enemy's fortifications to fight the enemy!" The voices behind it are even louder.

"Traveler, why are you here?" Zhou Mingyang jumped up in surprise,

"How can you abandon your position and attack without permission? Don't you know that the devils will take advantage of the opportunity to occupy your positions? Huang Shitu said with a calm face.

"Brigade seat, the devil's artillery is too hún egg, me"

"Hmph, I'll settle accounts with you later, you immediately order the infantry who can fight the pào brother Ping shè devil now, quickly!" Huang Shitu ordered loudly.

"Quick, will make the cannon hurry up to the gun position, flat shè devil infantry, fast"

The 7mén field guns, which had not yet been blown up, counterattacked the Japanese army, however, Zhou Mingyang did not notice that a large number of Japanese infantry were rushing in their direction under the cover of nine Type 95 light tanks.

When Zhou Mingyang was in a bitter battle, Tan Liding, the combat staff officer who stayed on the position, was also commanding the troops to resist the attack of the Japanese Ninth Infantry Wing. With only 300 troops on the position, it was difficult for them to resist the offensive and firepower of more than 4,000 men of the Ninth Wing, and under the cover of the Japanese army's ferocious artillery fire and machine guns, the Japanese troops were rapidly approaching Tan Liding's position in groups of three.

When Tan Liding was holding a tǐng Czech machine gun sweeping shè, a soldier next to him shouted: "Tan staff officer, the devil is coming." ”

Tan Liding followed the prestige and was taken aback, the Japanese army had broken through our fire blockade line and entered the trenches, and a guy was rolling in the trenches with Zhang Dali, a machine gunner on the side, and more than 30 Japanese soldiers poured in after the battle in the distance.

"Hurry up and press the enemy down!" Tan Liding roared.

The soldiers around him immediately took out large blades from their backs and rushed over with a loud roar, and a bloody battle would continue
