The life and death of the 51st Division
Another series of aerial bombs whistled out from the bomber's cabin and landed accurately on the position of the 152nd Regiment, which was already full of wounded. In an instant, a platoon of fighters, along with two heavy machine guns from two points of fire, was undoubtedly thrown into the sky and torn to pieces ...
For a moment, the position defended by this platoon was like a huge gap in the embankment. The little devils who swarmed in front of the position, like wolves smelling blood, aimed their targets at this gap at the first time....
"Kill to give....", accompanied by the deafening shouts of the Japanese army, sounded. A little devil of an infantry squadron, intercepted by the fire of the two flanks of the 152nd regiment, launched a decisive assault on the gap. Although, the entire infantry squadron suffered heavy casualties under the strafing fire of the two flanks. However, in the end, there was a squad of troops that managed to break through the gap to the position before reinforcements from the 152 regiment arrived ...
Of course, the fierce battle situation that occurred in the gap was not missed by the commander of the 152nd Regiment. Seeing a small group of Japanese troops, they rushed into the position with great momentum, preparing to expand the results of the battle on both flanks at this critical juncture. The face of the commander of the 152nd regiment immediately showed a look of preparation for desperate efforts. He threw down the binoculars in his hand and yelled loudly at his subordinates.
"Little devil of dog day, Lao Tzu fought with you. Guard company, follow me, no matter what, I will destroy these dozens of devils and plug the gap..."
As he spoke, the regiment commander shouldered a machine gun and, regardless of the obstruction of the political commissars around him, was the first to rush out of the headquarters and rush to the battlefield not far away......
"Comrades, kill the devil, give me a hard beating... Dozens of light machine guns of the entire guard company, under the personal command of the regiment commander, shot hot tongues of fire at the dozens of devil soldiers in front of them. For a while, nearly half of the devil soldiers who had just broken through the position were beaten into a hornet's nest by the sudden dense firepower before they had time to make any reaction.
The sudden dense firepower, although it caught the Japanese army by surprise, successfully eliminated nearly half of the devil soldiers. However, the remaining dozens of devil soldiers are not vegetarians.
In just the blink of an eye, the dozens of devil soldiers who were still standing in front of everyone just now quickly lay on the ground, dodging the airtight machine gun fire overhead. Then, while concealing, the only three crooked handles of an infantry squad also let out a piercing machine-gun fire....
The soldiers' intensive machine-gun fire caught the Japanese by surprise. The rapid reaction speed of the remnants of the Japanese army also caught the soldiers off guard. Although the entire Japanese squad had only three crooked handles and less than thirty rifles. However, it was this sparse firepower, in the hands of the little devil Kwantung Army, that caused at least twenty people to buy online for the soldiers.
For a time, the enemy and the enemy began to shoot at each other with the help of craters all over the place.
However, at this moment, reinforcements from a squadron of Japanese troops less than five hundred meters away from the gap and quickly returning to the gap appeared in the eyes of the regiment commander. It is clear that the Japanese commanders also recognized the importance of the gap and were ready to add more troops to really occupy the gap. Then, use this gap as a breakthrough for the entire defense line, and take the entire defense line in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, a trace of anxiety quickly flashed on the head of the regiment's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he yelled loudly at the subordinates around him.
"Comrades, throw grenades, fight with the little devils....brothers, rush with me..."
"Boom, boom, boom...", with a series of dense grenade explosions rang out. The entire guard company, with the remaining more than 100 fighters, had to use the cover of gunpowder smoke from the grenade explosion to brave the dense machine-gun fire of the Japanese army to launch a decisive charge.
More than 100 soldiers, under the personal command of the regiment commander, followed one after another. Finally, after paying nearly half of the casualties, he managed to rush to the side of the Japanese army.
For a while, a bright bayonet, in the hands of the angry soldiers, was stabbed into the body of the Japanese army without hesitation... The grenades emitting white smoke were in the hands of the soldiers, and they died with the little devils...
"Regiment commander, the little devil reinforcements have arrived..."Just when the regiment commander, holding the rifle with the bayonet in his hand, quickly stabbed a little devil, ready to continue the fight. The voice of the commander of the guard company reached his ears. ..., sure enough, just when he launched his own charge, an infantry squadron, more than a hundred little devils, also managed to rush to a position less than a hundred meters away from the gap. If it weren't for the firepower of the two wings, desperate to suppress the firepower, maybe these more than 100 devil soldiers would have rushed to everyone's side....
Seeing the scene in front of him, a look of luck immediately appeared on the face of the regiment commander. Then, he yelled loudly at the commander of the guard company in front of him......
"All the heavys, follow me to stop the imps. Guard company, in the shortest possible time, destroy the remaining remnants of the little devils....machine gunners, follow me...."
With the sound of intensive machine gun fire, under the intensive strafing of fire from three sides, an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, which had paid nearly half of the casualties, finally withdrew, and at the same time, dozens of devil soldiers who were fighting with the guard company also fell under the bayonets of the soldiers.
The position, which had just been precarious, was finally held at the cost of losing most of the guard company.
However, the position was held. However, there was no smile on the face of the regiment commander. Because, the battle just now once again consumed more than two hundred fighters of the entire 152 regiment. Plus the losses of troops in the first few offensives. At this moment, the entire 152 regiment, full of battles, has less than eight hundred people who can continue to fight ....
Looking at the battle damage report with the blood of countless soldiers condensed in his hand, the commander of the 152nd Regiment, a man from the northeast who had never been soft in front of the enemy, lowered his head for the first time. Because he knew in his heart that with the little strength he had left, it would be impossible to hold the position.
Thinking of this, as the head of the regiment, he could only command loudly to the communicator beside him.
"Correspondent, contact the division headquarters immediately, ask for reinforcements, request reinforcements..."
"Yes, Captain..."
"Division commander, telegram for help from the 152nd regiment. After a few hours of fighting, the 152nd Regiment had already lost most of its half, and there were less than 800 soldiers left in the battle... Look..."In the semi-underground headquarters of the 51st Division, looking at the telegram in his hand, the chief of staff said with an anxious expression.
"Eight hundred people, according to the current offensive intensity of the Japanese army, can hold out for an hour at most....no, we can't fight like this anymore. Otherwise, nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters of our 51st Division will all die on this position....Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the commander, asking for reinforcements, requesting reinforcements..."
"Yes, division commander...."
The former enemy headquarters of the Sixth Corps, which had been transferred to the mountains. Although the rumbling of gunfire, bomb explosions, and the whistling of planes outside the mountains did not have any effect on the troops in the dense forest. However, Chen Geng, as the commander, was frowning, walking around in the small headquarters, thinking about something....
"Old Han, there is no news of the 51st Division yet... Haven't reached the phone yet? ”。 Stopping in front of the huge combat sand table, Chen Geng asked anxiously.
"No, the fighting on the front line is too intense. The little devil's plane does not allow our communications troops to drill out of the mountain at all....If nothing else, the telephone line outside the mountain must have been blown up..."Han Liancheng, chief of staff, said.
"Little devil of dog day, it's been a few hours, and I don't know what happened to the 51st Division?"
Perhaps God favored the East China Field Army and the nearly 10,000 commanders and fighters of the 51st Division who were still struggling on the battlefield. As soon as Chen Geng's words fell, the anxious figure of the communications staff officer appeared at the door of the headquarters in a very timely manner.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, telegram for help from the 51st Division..."
"Finally there is news, send me the telegram...."Chen Geng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke.
After quickly glancing at the contents of the telegram, Chen Geng's face, the brows that had just been stretched out because of the specific news of the 51st Division furrowed again. Because, in the telegram, the huge casualties of the 51st Division touched the heart of Commander Chen Geng...
"Old Han, the situation of the 51st Division on the front line is not optimistic....It was only less than three hours, and the entire 51st Division paid a huge price of losing more than half....Losing more than half, you know, the total strength of the entire 51st Division has reached 10,000 people, and the loss of more than half means that at least 5,000 commanders and fighters have completely lost their combat effectiveness....We have not lost so many people in the battle all night..."Chen Geng said with a worried face.
Chief of Staff Han Liancheng, who also quickly read the contents of the telegram, also showed a look of deep concern on his face. Then he spoke: "Commander, according to the content of the telegram, the loss of five thousand men is not the most important. The most important thing is that the little devils, relying on their air superiority, launched an attack on the 51st Division from the southeast, west, and west. Judging from the combat sand table, the little devil wants to make dumplings for our 51st Division. According to the remaining strength of the 51st Division, if we do not change our strategy immediately, it is very likely that the entire 51st Division will become the first division-level unit of our East China Field Army to be completely annihilated by the Japanese army..."
For a while, the entire former enemy headquarters, because of Han Liancheng's words as chief of staff, immediately fell into a deathly silence. As the commander, Chen Geng, with a pair of eyes, stared closely at the combat sand table in front of him, and fell into deep thought...
