Chapter 229: You Can't Take a Step Back! Section 2 Fighting at Night
The battle in Xinchengzi on the Eastern Front lasted all day, and before dark, the Japanese attacking troops retreated to the starting point, thinking that this was the end of it, no! When the two armies on the Eastern Front were still fighting for the commanding heights on the bank of the river, after nightfall, the devils on the north bank of the Tang River suddenly shelled Miaogoumen and Yushu Village! In the night, the black-pressed devils rushed across the frozen surface of the Tang River and rushed towards the terrace of Miaogoumen!
The devil is a series of battles, multi-way assaults, the eastern front was blocked back, and also took advantage of the bloody battle of the Eighth Road, before recovering physical strength and replenishing ammunition, immediately changed a force, attacked the southern front, although there was no bombing and strafing by aircraft, but under the concentrated bombardment of dozens of large and small caliber artillery, Miaogou Gate became a sea of fire in an instant!
When the eastern front was tight, Regiment Commander Liu transferred the second battalion to the flank of the first battalion to defend the Tang River, and the third battalion stationed in Chengzi Village in the north and south of the city went to the first line of Miaogoumen.
At this time, almost all the participating troops of the 17th Regiment were still confronting the Japanese army in the Tang River Valley, and the 3rd Battalion had not yet returned to the Miaogoumen defense area. All the artillery was used for fire support on this side, and in less than ten minutes, the positions of the Eighth Route Army were almost completely destroyed! The whole village was razed to the ground!
The Japanese infantry completely disregarded the casualties, and a brigade of nearly 1,000 people lined up on the river beach in black pressure, pressing towards the platform like a big wave! One wave was repelled and one wave came up again, and there was almost no interval between the two attacks before and after, and the Japanese army used squads as combat units to attack in turn, and this kind of combat intensity had never been seen in the combat history of the 17th Regiment!
Less than twenty minutes! The company is out of ammo! After another ten minutes, there were two white-knuckle fights. There are more than 180 people in the company, and there are more than 40 people left! There was not even a bayonet left, and as a last resort, a deputy platoon commander who temporarily served as the commander after the death of the company commander and instructor ordered the rest of the company to move to Yushu Village.
Japanese attacks on the south bank of the Tang River. Head Liu's big ass was also taken aback when he heard about it. He believed that the Japanese army had invested about 1,000 troops to attack Xinchengzi on the Eastern Front, which already accounted for one-third of their total strength. This third is still in battle, and the other third of the troops are used to attack the southern front, what is the devil going to do? Is it a broken kettle, no matter which direction you tear a hole?
After reporting this sudden situation to Yang Bangzi, what should I do? Yang Bangzi didn't even think about it, so he told Liu's big ass. He will send other troops to indirectly support his 17th Regiment, but at present, he cannot send him a single soldier, and the 17th Regiment can withstand it!
Putting down the phone, an operational staff officer of the 17th Regiment muttered there that Commander Yang was selling his grandfather Tian and was not distressed, this is Commander Huang's hometown, how can he explain to Commander Huang if he fights out?
When Head Liu heard this, he was furious! Say you know a fart! When your kid was still studying in Yan'an. This Commander Yang is our old subordinate of Commander Huang, why does the military region want to merge the 6th Division and the 11th Division, that is what Commander Huang means, do you know! I don't have to worry about anyone who has this unit in the hands of anyone! Just hand him over to Yang Stick, so that Commander Huang can go to Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo with confidence!
What's wrong with the spelling? It's not all spelled out. Can the devil still be driven away! You hell! The angry Liu big ass raised his foot and gave him a kick from this combat staff officer!
Don't look at Liu's big ass people don't have Yang stick's brains, but he is indeed still a tiger general! At this time, the blood swelled up, and ordered the whole regiment to put on bayonets, right here on the eastern front, along the river valley, on the ice face, from east to west, to attack the Japanese army crossing the river!
At that time, the troops of the 17th Regiment were still on the north-south line, the three battalions were lined up, the regiment commander gave orders, everyone in the regiment headquarters copied the guys and the regiment commander with bayonets went up to the front line, and the two thousand or so people still didn't say a word! Don't look at the water and rice for a day, gnaw off a piece of ice on the river, chew it, chew it, and treat it as if you even have rice and water!
The battalion commander below asked for instructions on how to fight, Liu's big ass was anxious, he roared, and the whole regiment took off his shirt! Shirtless, attack the whole line on the south bank of the Tang River, and when you see someone wearing a military uniform and overcoat, you will hold him on fire, and stab him!
Good fellows, the warriors of the two thousand and seventeenth regiments, took off their shirts in unison and rushed out of the river valley! The devil troops who blocked them looked stupid! Eight roads, this is a war, this is desperate! The soldiers of the first brigade of the Qingshui Wing, who had been fighting fiercely for a day, were also toothless, and now they were all exhausted, because the task given to them by the wing was now to defend on the spot, and they also thought that the Eighth Route on the opposite side was also exhausted and wanted to rest, so they didn't expect the Eighth Route to fight hard at all!
In one breath, the Japanese army broke through the two temporary defensive lines on the south bank of the Tang River on the Eastern Front, and the 17th Regiment attacked this large open space on the river beach in front of Miaogoumen Village! The 2nd Brigade of the Qingshui Wing of the Japanese Army, which had just captured the platform, was about to turn due west and attack the north and south Chengzi villages according to the order of the wing headquarters, when it was suddenly stopped by so many strange troops appearing behind them!
I was caught off guard by the eight roads that were killed along the frozen surface of the Tang River! In the blink of an eye, the two armies collided together! Gun to gun, man to man! Almost instantly, whether it was the Seventeenth Regiment or the Second Brigade of the Devils, anyone's establishment was messed up!
The 17th Regiment is a deadly way of fighting, where is there any regiment to refer back to the battalion, this kind of command system of the battalion command company, the regiment commander Liu Da Ass himself is shirtless and carrying a bayonet, who cares if you are the regiment commander and battalion commander! The devil's side has just captured the Miaogoumen Plateau, and the establishment is also in chaos, and the wheel-type melee with the squad as a unit just now has messed up the formation, where can this organize a layered defense!
Besides, this kind of white-knuckle warfare, the black light is blind, where to go to convey the order, let's fight! Let's go our separate ways! Soon, the ghost soldiers who reacted quickly found that they had suffered a loss! Everyone in these eight roads is shirtless, and they shoot devils one by one, so they can recognize it, the devils are all wearing coats, and when they see clothes, they shoot with bayonets and big knives!
More than 3,000 eight roads on the beach and the devils were in a mess, and the devils' artillery and machine gun positions were all useless, and the artillery could not fire at such a close distance, and the machine guns had to hit their own people as soon as they fired! The captain of the second brigade was almost crying on the radio, calling for the wing to provide support! I can't see how many people are in the Eight Roads!
Qing Shui had provided support to the brigade and ordered the rapid-fire cannon to fire flares into the sky! This is good, as soon as the flare goes up to the sky, it is as bright as day, and it has become a night battle with lights!
Will! It's the will! The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can be said to rely on this to dare to fight with the devils! And the soldiers of the Shimizu Wing have just been internally trained, and they don't dare to say it, but who doesn't scold Shimizu Dazuo's mother in their hearts? Don't look at the appearance of the army neatly and the military discipline is upright, in fact, the fighting spirit and combat effectiveness have declined with the soldiers' war-weariness!
It was better with the support of aircraft and artillery fire, but now it became this kind of absolutely violent and barbaric white-knuckle warfare, and soon, the Japanese soldiers could not support it, and the shadow of psychological war weariness became timid, and from time to time groups of Japanese soldiers fled from the battlefield and fled back to the north bank of the Tang River, and finally even the captain on the terrace was forced to open a bloody road under the protection of his subordinates and fled back to the north bank!
Hundreds of corpses of Japanese soldiers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army almost covered this stretch of river beach! Miaogoumen is back in the hands of the Seventeenth Regiment! At this time, there was still a small group of Japanese troops hiding in the village to resist stubbornly, and the rumbling of artillery could be heard from the west and north in the night sky!
The northern front is a special training battalion, under the order of Yang Bangzi, to move on the Japanese defensive positions in the northern section! The northern section of the defense line is the Japanese defense line that the special training camp knows best, and the team that surrendered to Cheng explained in great detail the separation of the Japanese army's positions in the north and the allocation of troops, and also drew a map!
