Chapter 551: Blood Fire Vine County
The eve of the Great War was peaceful.
The soldiers of the Sichuan army who had dug half of the air-raid shelters were all asleep one by one, and only a few were still vigilantly staring at the movements of the Japanese troops on the opposite side on the city wall.
As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and it seemed that the strong smell of gunpowder could be smelled.
A piercing screech shattered the momentary silence!
The first shells of the Seya detachment fell on Dongguan, and subsequently, the Xiguan railway station was also subjected to intensive shelling, where was the only access to the outside world, which was not completely closed by the Japanese army.
More than a dozen planes flew over from the north, like a flock of black crows in the air with continuous strange screams, and the cluster ZD carried by them was dropped, and the county seat of Tengxian County was suddenly shrouded in explosive fire.
Just after the first wave of bombing, the second wave followed, the Sichuan army almost did not have any air defense weapons, the Japanese planes swooped down, strafed, dropped bombs, almost against the city wall, the bombs dropped exploded all the way, the city bricks, rubble, roof tiles, trees were like being swept by a hurricane, blowing all the way, rolling into the air, and then falling, scattering in all directions......
Because the people in the city had been evacuated a long time ago, the casualties were not very large, except for the huge damage to the ancient cultural city of Teng County.
Wang Zhizhong and others hiding in the underground command post, listening to the buzzing sound of planes outside, their faces were angry, without air defense weapons, they could only be bullied, and the limited machine guns did not dare to be used easily, because, in ground combat, fire support is needed!
The purpose of the Japanese dive bombing was to return fire from the ground and then deliver a devastating blow.
The Seya detachment was equipped with a number of Japanese troops, with more than 70 heavy large-caliber guns, while the entire Fuji County defenders did not have a single heavy artillery in their hands, only a dozen mortars of different calibers.
Both the range and the power are far from being comparable to the Japanese army, and the real disparity in strength is huge.
The Japanese bombers skimmed over Fuji Prefecture in a victorious manner, and the smug laughter of the devil pilots was more disturbing than the green-headed flies, but they could not be driven away.
After the bombardment, the Japanese army began to bombard fiercely, and the barrage from the Japanese platoon artillery was like a death harvest line, and it was densely fired at the county seat of Tengxian County.
At this time, the strong city wall could not stop the power of steel at all, and it was blown up in an instant, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army who were watching and observing were instantly swallowed up by artillery fire and buried, giving their heroic young lives.
Tengxian County was in ruins, and the streets and houses were covered up in it, and it was completely impossible to distinguish them.
Within a radius of tens of kilometers, the whole earth is trembling. Trembling, moaning. Moaning, rolling, the Sichuan soldiers hiding in the anti-artillery hole curled up in horror one by one, the creaking sound seemed to tell them that this hole may collapse at any time, and they may have been buried alive by the anti-artillery hole they dug before they could fight with the little devil!
Such is the cruelty of war.
The Japanese bombardment lasted for nearly an hour, and Kei Seya, who had made the military order, was a little red-eyed, if he couldn't do it in two days, he would commit suicide, and for the sake of his own life, he would have to fight hard!
"Attack!"
At about 7:50, outside Dongguan in Tengxian County, on the horizon, a Japanese flag of the rising Japanese army flashed with sixteen dazzling blood lights!
"Brethren, the little devil is coming up!"
The direction chosen by Kei Seya for the main attack was still Toko, and the tactics adopted were basically the same as yesterday, concentrating firepower to blast open the gap in the city wall, and then under the cover of the tanks, the infantry charged, and when the Japanese army rushed to the gap in the city wall, the infantry overtook the tanks and quickly broke through to the gap.
Obviously, the Japanese did not realize the role of tanks in covering infantry charges, and it was still the same old type.
However, this time, the Japanese army rushed to the gap in the Dongguan city wall, but found that there was no movement above and below the city, and the Chinese defenders did not see a single figure.
The commander of the Japanese army who approached the front line proudly drew his war knife, waved it, and shouted wildly: "The Chinese army, all killed, the warriors of the empire, charge!" ”
Wow wow wow......
The Japanese army immediately rushed up to the Dongguan city wall as if they had eaten XFJ, throwing the tanks covering the charge several hundred meters away.
On the city wall of Dongguan, a Sichuan army unit had already quietly come up, lying in ambush behind the ruins of the city wall, each holding a bundle of grenades in their hands, and all of them unscrewed the lid.
"Brothers, listen to my command and put the Japanese into thirty meters and then fight, understand?"
"Understood!"
The Sichuan army went all the way to the battle, and the survivors were all veterans, and their mental qualities were already different, and they also had more battlefield experience, the more people who were afraid of death on the battlefield, the faster they died, and they had to face each other if they did it with the Japanese devils, so even if their own artillery fire was blind, the distance between the two troops was too close, and the shells would not be so accurate, so if the infantry was withdrawn, the Japanese artillery would not open fire, and the probability of accidentally injuring their own people was very high.
Guarding Dongguan is the 740 Regiment of the Sichuan Army, the commander Wang Lin, that is a famous general of the Sichuan Army, not afraid of death in battle, but also very disciplined, Dongguan is the most dangerous area, Wang Zhizhong sent him to guard Dongguan also has this consideration.
The Japanese flag on the devil's rifle was already in sight, and the regiment commander Wang Lin shouted: "Fight!" ”
Hundreds of grenades were thrown in the air, cutting through graceful parabolas and falling into the midst of the charging Japanese troops!
"Dangerous, lying down ......"
Although the Japanese commander immediately gave the correct order, the grenade was too close and the explosion was so dense that the Japanese could not dodge, and a large area of guns, military uniforms, and meat was blown down at once. The bodies burst out in all directions, and the Japanese soldiers who were not killed kept screaming, and they blindly held their guns and fired indiscriminately without figuring out where the enemy was.
On the city wall, the officers and soldiers of the 740th Regiment of the Sichuan Army, under the command of the regiment commander Wang Lin, launched a counterattack against the Japanese army......
In order to save ammunition, the soldiers of a company of the Sichuan army rushed to the Japanese army with broadswords in their hands, and started a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese army, killing the Japanese army and retreating one after another.
The charging Japanese troops were repulsed, and the remaining Japanese troops quickly retreated under the cover of Japanese tanks.
The first wave of charges failed, and Seya Kai's face was very ugly, and he immediately ordered the removal of the officer who led the team, replaced it with another person, and continued to launch artillery bombardment!
After repeated charges in this way, thousands of shells fell on the Dongguan position, almost blowing up the Dongguan position into ruins, but the Japanese still failed to break through the Dongguan position.
By this time, a morning had passed.
The tenacity of the Chinese defenders in Fuji County deeply shocked Kei Setani, and if the Chinese army was the same as the army in Fuji Prefecture, it would be impossible for the Japanese Empire to defeat China.
And the Chinese army he encountered was the first time he had encountered such a hard-boned opponent, and the intelligence showed that this was just a local army that no one wanted to see.
Judging from their weapons and equipment, they are indeed an army that does not enter the stream, but their willpower is tenacious, but they are not half a point worse than the imperial warriors.
There were more than 30,000 Japanese troops concentrated outside Fuji County, and the garrison of Fuji County did not exceed 10,000 at most, and this estimate should be exaggerated a lot.
If there were no reinforcements, the defenders of Tengxian County would have only one ending and would be completely annihilated.
At the same time as the Japanese army stormed Dongguan, it also launched an attack on the southeast corner of Teng County, and the tactics of the attack were the same, guarding the second company of the 727th Regiment of the Sichuan Army.
The battle here was even more brutal, the Japanese army once attacked the city, but was repelled by the 727th regiment, repeatedly fought several times, the Japanese lost two tanks, and was finally repulsed!
In the end, only 14 people survived the second company and the first battalion reserve of the 727th regiment, and the blood of more than 300 Sichuan officers and soldiers stained the ruined city walls.
Ryosuke Isoya, who was in command of the front line, saw this scene and was so angry that he smashed the telescope in his hand.
Since Ryosuke Isoya entered China, this was an unprecedented defeat for him, and the 10th Division, known as the "Steel Army," had repeatedly suffered setbacks under a Chinese force that did not enter the stream, and this was something that he could not tolerate because of his pride.
In particular, he had just received a telegram from Seishiro Sakagaki, that his Sakamoto detachment had captured Ju County and was attacking in the direction of Linyi, while he had been blocked by a Fuji County for four days.
He seemed to see Sakagaki Seishiro standing outside Xuzhou City to greet his arrogant smiling face, Isoya Ryosuke's face was a little distorted, and he shouted angrily: "Concentrate all the planes and artillery, and blow up Fuji County for me, all of them!" ”
On Weishan Island, Leng Feng woke up, breathed a breath of fresh air on the island, and felt a lot more comfortable.
It's good here, it's like a paradise, but if you stay here for a long time, the male ambition will also be worn off.
It's too comfortable and suitable for retirement.
"Master, did you sleep well?"
"Yes, it feels good to be in the army." Leng Feng moved around the yard a few times, he hadn't practiced boxing for a long time, and if he didn't pick it up again, his skills were almost rusty.
"Leopard, come and practice with me for a while?"
The leopard nodded, handed his gun to a guard, and walked over.
"Drink!" Breathing out, a slight popping sound came out of the leopard's body, Leng Feng was slightly startled, the leopard's kung fu has improved rapidly, and he has actually reached the realm of muscles and bones, this kid is not far from dark energy.
Woo Woo ......
The advantage of the leopard is speed, so the speed of his attack is like a raging storm, so fast that people can't see clearly, although Leng Feng's strength is not speed, his advantages are balanced, plus his realm and eyes are one level higher than the leopard.
"Quick, too fast, this leopard is so powerful!"
"It's still the division seat is powerful, you didn't see how the leopard attacked, and the division seat was blocked, and it was more than easy!"
"That's right, the master is learning from that school, why can't I see it?"
"The master's martial arts absorb the strengths of others, that is, it is put in the rivers and lakes, and it is also a master among the masters......"
"Cong Hu, you and Shizuo are brothers, do you know ......?"
"I don't know, my eldest brother never told me." Cong Hu shook his head, he knew that Leng Feng's fighting technique was very powerful, but to what extent, he didn't know.
"Look, the leopard has slowed down......"
The leopard is good at speed, and the back force is a short board, of course, that is in the face of a master like Leng Feng, he uses all his strength in every attack, and if he is someone else, it may not be the same.
Fighting on the field, the figures flew over, Leng Feng glanced at his eyes, and saw Guo Weiquan walking in from the door, holding a telegram in his hand.
With a gentle push of both hands, a dark force slammed into the leopard's chest.
The leopard's face turned red, and he felt an irresistible force coming from his chest, and it was a little difficult to breathe, and his body involuntarily retreated.
Pedaling ......
The leopard retreated seven or eight steps in a row before he could stand firm, and his face turned red and said, "I lost!" ”
"Leopard, you are very talented, but don't just think about speed, your strengths in learning other boxing techniques, integrate them into your fight, and within three years, you will be able to achieve great success!" Leng Feng smiled, still very appreciative of the leopard's martial arts talent.
Among the first division of honor, there are several martial arts talents that are good, and the leopard can definitely be ranked in the top three, probably because of his focus.
"Division, the squad is in an emergency!"
"30,000 people, the Japanese army is going to raze Tengxian to the ground!" Leng Feng was shocked when he saw the content of the message.
"Now that the passage in Xicheng has not been completely closed, it seems that Commander-in-Chief Wang still has a glimmer of hope for reinforcements, or is this reserved for breaking through?"
"Where are the reinforcements going?"
"Wang Zhonglian's 85th Division of the 4th Army has been deployed on the front line of Lincheng, but it has not sent reinforcements to Teng County, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Sun has repeatedly requested, but the 4th Division still does not move, Chief Li is very annoyed, but the 4th Division uses the previous order given by Chief Li to the Tang Army as an excuse, it just does not move." Xie Jiyuan said.
"This Tang Keqin, what does he want to do, sit back and watch the Japanese army eat the Sichuan army in Teng County?"
"I'm afraid it has this purpose, and also, borrowing the Sichuan army to consume the Japanese army, he can pick up the cheap." Guo Weiquan said.
"I'm afraid it's cheap and not so easy to pick up!" Leng Feng snorted coldly, he hated Tang Keqin deeply, at such a critical moment, he still thought about the small interests of his personal group, forgetting that he was a soldier.
Damn it! (To be continued.) )
