Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 38 Vanguard (II)
Time passed quietly in a suffocating wait.
When there were at least 300 meters away from the position of the Nationalist army, the distance between the Japanese stragglers suddenly widened, and the distance between the two adjacent stragglers was at least 10 meters.
Two thousand meters away, Ohara Shigemi Shaosa was holding a telescope, staring at this side for a moment, seeing that the Japanese army was approaching within two hundred meters, but the opposite national army had never moved, Ohara Shigemi's thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he cursed hatefully in his mouth, the national army was so calm, this is not a good phenomenon.
When the distance was only more than 100 meters, the Japanese troops who were doing all kinds of tactical evasion actions suddenly straightened their waists, and then accelerated to the opposite national army position with bayonets, such a close distance, the recruits with a little training could easily hit the target, so it was useless to do tactical evasion actions again, at this time, rush up at the fastest speed, meet the enemy's short soldiers, and destroy the enemy's fighting spirit with bayonets and the will to die!
At the same time, the two Japanese fire support groups on both flanks also opened fire, but the Nationalist officers and men all shrank in the trenches without showing their heads, and the Japanese support fire was basically fighting blindly.
The Japanese charged silently, and the distance between the two sides quickly approached.
In the trenches, the hearts of many soldiers of the national army have already risen to their throats, and a few anxious ones have begun to use bayonets, ready to fight with little Japan, but veterans are veterans, no matter how anxious they are, no one is stunned to shoot without authorization.
Xu 19 slowly and methodically connected the holster of the box gun to the handle, and when the Japanese stragglers were about to rush across the 50-meter line and prepare to throw a grenade, he finally got up from the trench suddenly, and the box gun in his hand was a shot against his shoulder, which hit the heart of the Japanese second lieutenant in front of him, and the Japanese second lieutenant took two steps forward under the effect of inertia before falling to the ground.
In the next moment, more than 100 officers and men of the Nationalist Army straightened up from the trenches, and more than 100 Zhongcheng, Hanyang-made, old sleeves and two Czech-style light machine guns were fired at the same time, and one ballistic trajectory pierced the battlefield filled with gunpowder in an instant, forming a tight fire net covering the 20 or so Japanese stragglers.
However, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were worthy of being the elite of the 17 permanent divisions, and the years of arduous training had created their almost instinctive tactical evasive reactions, and almost at the same time as the opposite Nationalist troops showed up, they instinctively fell to the ground, and only six or seven of the Nationalist army's tight fire nets were stacked up, and the remaining dozen or so fell to the ground and fired at the Nationalist troops.
Two thousand meters away, Ohara Shigemi shouted "Yo West" and "Yo West" repeatedly, while adjusting the focal length of the telescope to observe the machine gun fire point of the national army, and at the same time said to the deputy captain Captain Fujimoto: "Fujimoto-kun, the firepower of the opposite Shina Army is very weak, immediately calibrate the coordinates of the fire point, and guide the artillery squadron to destroy its fire point." ”
"Hello!" Captain Fujimoto bowed his head abruptly and took the order.
Ohara Shigemi instructed the herald again: "Order, the Maehara team retreats!" ”
"Hello!" The herald suddenly bowed his head, and climbed to the armored car next to him to raise the flag, and when he saw the flag in the rear, the Japanese commander who took over the command in front took the remaining dozen Japanese soldiers to cover the retreat alternately, but on the way back, seven or eight were stacked down by the national army, and less than ten of Zuihou escaped alive.
The next moment, the six 75 mountain guns belonging to the Ohara Brigade seemed to have eyes, and they hit the position where the two Czech light machine guns of the national army were located, but fortunately, Xu 19's combat experience was also quite rich, and as early as the time when the Japanese army retreated, he had already ordered the two light machine guns to be transferred.
After a rapid firefight, the Japanese army showed its ferocious fangs, with two Type 95 light tanks as the lead, supplemented by a whole infantry squadron, and violently crushed the Nationalist position on the left flank of Fortress Hill.
The seal approached Xu Shijiu, gritted his back teeth and said, "Grandma, a bear, it's a big trouble now." ”
Xu 19 also looked solemn, compared to the Soviet-German tank or the American and British tanks, the small Japanese Type 95 light tank is not even a real tank, its 12mm thin iron sheet can not even parry the 20mm machine gun, but it is more than enough to suppress the infantry, the national army lacks effective countermeasures, and it can only be filled with human lives.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Shijiu turned his head and shouted: "Pacesetter, blow up Little Japan's Iron King Eight for Lao Tzu!" ”
The eyes of nearly 100 soldiers of the national army focused on Lao Zhao and another veteran, the vanguard refers to the soldiers who stand at the head of each row when they are in line, this position is not just anyone can stand, all of them are the best in the army, and at the same time, the people who stand in this position must also be ready to die at any time!
Lao Zhao's indifferent face finally showed a hint of struggle, but soon, he suppressed the struggle, and then reached out to take the grenade handed over by his comrades, and untied the gaiters to tie more than a dozen grenades into a big bundle, and unscrewed the covers of the middle grenades, twisting several fuses together.
Another veteran over there did the same and made a cluster grenade.
There was no time to say goodbye, so Lao Zhao and the veteran carried cluster grenades into the depression in front of the battle.
"All of them, fire cover!" Xu Shijiu dialed the box gun with the butt of the gun to the fast machine, and then suddenly got up from the trench against his shoulder and fired a long shot in front of him, and the next moment, hundreds of grenades were thrown out suddenly, and then hundreds of rifles of various types and the only two Czech light machine guns also fired fiercely at the front.
Under the cover of gunsmoke, Lao Zhao and another veteran suddenly jumped up and advanced at full speed.
The suppression of the infantry by the tank can be described as ferocious, but the vision of the occupants in the car is also very cramped, so it is necessary for the infantry to cooperate to protect, otherwise it is easy to be blasted by the enemy infantry.
Seeing two Nationalist soldiers rushing over with bundles of grenades, the Japanese infantrymen who were frantically firing at the Nationalist Army immediately realized the danger, so they turned their guns one after another and poured fire on Lao Zhao and the veteran.
Although the Japanese infantry was only equipped with a single-shot 38 cover, and the bolt had to be pulled when a shot was shot, although Lao Zhao and the two were experienced veterans of a hundred battles, but the war was always cruel, and the bullets never distinguished between the so-called justice and evil, and the other veteran had been shot and fell to the ground before he advanced less than 30 meters.
"Fire cover, fire cover!" Xu Shijiu roared again and again, while holding the box cannon and firing wildly, the bullets fired from the opposite side swished and screamed past his ears from time to time, and even felt the scorching heat from the bullet body, but Xu Shijiu didn't realize it, still straightened his waist, and shot wildly forward.
Xu Shijiu knew very well in his heart that as long as he could kill the Japanese tank, it would be worth it no matter how much it cost!
This is because if the Japanese tanks could not be wiped out, not only would the hundreds of people in the left flank position not survive, but the officers and men of the more than 600 national armies in the entire artillery Taiwan position would have only one way to die!
More than 100 national troops also roared and opened fire, and the Japanese tanks were on 7. The 7mm caliber machine gun bullets were poured one by one, and the officers and men of the national army who were shooting wildly on their waists fell one by one in a pool of blood, but none of them flinched, let alone escaped, and they also knew that no matter how many lives were filled, they had to attract the attention of the Japanese tanks.
"Fire cover, fire cover!" Xu Shijiu screamed, and just replaced the new magazine halfway through, only to hear a soft ding, and the bolt, which was already badly worn, finally couldn't withstand the devastation of the continuous fire, and popped out suddenly, knocking out a bloody mouth on Xu Shijiu's forehead.
Xu Shijiu fell to the ground on his back and fell into a coma.
Lao Zhao carried bundles of grenades, jumped left and right, swooped forward and rolled back, and made his advance route as irregular as possible, but the Japanese firepower blocking his advance route was too dense, in addition to at least half a squadron of infantry, at least two crooked light machine guns also joined the blockade.
When he was still about thirty meters away from the Japanese tank, Lao Zhao was finally shot.
At least six or seven scorching machine gun bullets hit him, beating his chest and abdomen into a blur of flesh and blood in an instant, Lao Zhao turned and fell to the ground, the liliang of his whole body was like the tide of the ebb tide, leaving him in an instant, through the thick smoke of gunpowder, looking at the long white clouds in the sky, Lao Zhao suddenly imagined his hometown in front of his eyes.
The blue sky is like washing, the white clouds are long, Lao Zhao led the old cow to walk on the country road, and the daughter with the pigtails followed him up and down.
"Dad, don't you want your mother and your mother?"
"No, dad can do without anything, but he can't live without him."
"Then you're going to Shanghai? Shanghai is so far away, and you don't take your nannans there. ”
"Because there is a group of robbers in Shanghai, they want to bully the bandits, and my father has to go and beat the robbers away."
"Dad, these robbers are so bad, you go and beat them, my mother and I will tie a lot of red ribbons on the old mulberry at the head of the village, my mother said, when the robbers are tied with a hundred red ribbons, you will run away from the robbers and go home."
Through the thick smoke of gunpowder, Lao Zhao saw the outline of the Japanese tank, less than two meters away, silently calling in his heart, Lao Zhao miraculously recovered Liliang, and then pulled the fuse and rolled into the track of the Japanese tank.
In the next moment, a dazzling red light suddenly rose from under the tracks of the Japanese tank, and the entire tank was blown to the ground by the air wave generated by the explosion.

Yuyao, Zhejiang, Zhaojiaao.
A young woman with a letter of flowers is leading a little girl of seven or eight years old to tie a red ribbon to the old mulberry tree at the head of the village.
When the young woman tied the red ribbon and came down from the ladder, the little girl looked at the red ribbons on the tree and asked expectantly, "Mother, how many red ribbons have we tied?" Isn't Daddy coming back soon? ”
Suddenly, a light breeze blew, and the red ribbons of the trees danced gently in the wind.
There seemed to be some kind of telepathy in the power power, and the young woman's tears burst out of her eyes, and she suddenly remembered the "last words" left by her husband before he set out on the expedition: If one day I die in battle, and I miss me again, you will take her under the mulberry tree, and when the red ribbons of the tree are fluttering in the wind, it is I who see her coming......
