Chapter 218: The Great War of Reeds

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A mortar rushed at the place where the devils were piled up was a three-shot shot, and for a time shrapnel flew sideways and smoke and dust were everywhere. Although the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground, they could not avoid such a close-range explosion, and more than 10 people were killed and wounded immediately. The remnants of the Japanese army had no choice but to flee in all directions to escape.

Just when the Japanese army got up in a panic, Da Da Da ...... The machine gunners, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly opened fire, and the dense bullets blew like the wind, and the Japanese were caught off guard, and more than a dozen were killed.

The team leader looked back and saw that half of his men had fallen in a pool of blood, and he was hated and afraid in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Baga! Spread out, don't huddle together......"

Bang! Before he could finish speaking, a bullet hit the squad leader's eyebrows. He fell to the ground in a state of despair, his eyes wide open, and his hand still holding the half-cut saber that had been broken by a machine gun.

Mortars and grenadiers help the Heavy, and the Heavy helps the Sniper. They used their firepower advantage to force the remnants of the Japanese army out of their hiding places, and then asked the snipers to take a roll call one by one, almost one shot, and the powerful snipers could destroy a Japanese detachment within a minute.

Li Dazhuang was overjoyed when he saw this, slapped the fortifications vigorously, and said excitedly: "Well done, the sniper is really good!" ”

"Be careful!" Zhang Haiyan suddenly pushed Li Dazhuang to it, and he also fell down. Poof, poof, poof, a few bullets passed through where they had been standing, and into the dirt behind them.

Zhang Haiyan snorted and reached out to cover his shoulder. Li Dazhuang got up and took a look, only to see that half of Zhang Haiyan's body was dyed red. exclaimed, "Haiyan, are you injured?" Where's the injury? It doesn't matter! ”

"Don't fucking bullshit, get out! The devil has his eye on this! Zhang Haiyan gritted his teeth and said strongly.

The guards rushed up, picked up the two and ran. Before he had run a few steps, he heard a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh sound in the sky.

Zhang Haiyan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lie down!" It's a grenadier ......"

Boom Boom Boom ...... Before the words fell, they were suddenly muffled by the sound of explosions. The fighters did not dare to turn back and ran forward desperately. Several slower-running fighters were hit by shrenchnel and lay on the ground crying out in pain.

The reeds hundreds of meters away shook for a while, as if they were very proud. Go without saying. There must be Japanese troops lurking in this. And there are quite a few of them, but I don't know how they got in.

When the second battalion commander saw the attack on the brigade headquarters, he scolded angrily: "You are all dead, watching the devils fight back!" ”

The commander of the fifth company, who was in charge of this section, also discovered that the brigade headquarters had been attacked. There was great trepidation in my heart. Panicked, he said, "Camp." The devil crawled from the reeds, we didn't see it! ”

The deputy battalion commander said: "What are you doing in a daze, quickly beat the devil back!" Then he said to the battalion commander, "Camp seat." I'll take a class of brothers to the brigade headquarters! ”

The second battalion commander nodded and said, "Well, go quickly, bring the battalion health team with you!" ”

The commander of the fifth company suddenly came to his senses, knowing that this was his worst opportunity, and hurriedly yelled: "Brothers, kill me!" Fight with the little devils! ”

The fighters were also enraged, and one by one they rushed out of the trenches, charging and firing in the direction of the Japanese troops. The reeds were swept down piece by piece, and the Japanese soldiers did not dare to expose them and lay on the ground.

The mortar battery also quickly adjusted the speed of the muzzle and covered the fire on the possible hiding spots of the Japanese troops. Of course, this coverage is not very powerful, and it is mainly a tentative role.

Rumble! A shell landed near the Japanese hideout, and the broken reeds and leaves were shaken into the air. The Japanese soldiers hiding below suddenly had nothing to hide.

"The devil is there!" A new fighter shouted in surprise.

"Be careful! Shanzi, get out of the way! The veteran next to him shouted anxiously. But it was too late, and before the soldier could understand what was going on, he was hit in the chest and abdomen by several bullets in succession, and died a heroic death on the spot.

"Avenge Shanzi!" The fighters roared and launched a fierce attack on the remnants of the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers knew that there was no escape, so they simply did not escape, and shot desperately with rifles one by one, and maintained the shooting posture until they died in battle. Although the 34th Brigade finally annihilated this group of devils, more than a dozen soldiers were killed on the way to the charge.

At an observation post in the distance, Zheng Weiguo angrily threw the telescope on the ground and scolded: "How did the 34th Brigade get it, such a large group of enemies approached the brigade headquarters and didn't find it!" ”

Director Xiong persuaded: "Junzao, don't be angry, there are too many recruits in the army, and it is common for you to lose your way for a while." ”

Zheng Weiguo snorted and said, "It's not just the problem of recruits, Zhang Haiyan is not responsible?" The fact that a brigade headquarters was located at a distance of 500 meters from the line of fire was a command disposition! ”

Director Xiong said, "Commander, then let's retreat too!" As a military headquarters, this place is too far ahead! ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "What to withdraw? You immediately telegraphed Zhang Haiyan and Qi Sixian, I will watch them destroy the devil here. If I can't do it, I'll change two more brigade commanders! ”

More than 10,000 people from the two brigades fought an ambush of more than 1,000 Japanese troops, and they all had an absolute advantage in firepower, troops, and terrain. As a result, after fighting for so long, hundreds of dead and wounded people have not even been taken down! Why doesn't this make Zheng Weiguo angry?

Director Xiong couldn't resist him, so he had to run to the headquarters to generate electricity, and strictly ordered the 34th and 36th brigades to speed up the pace of fighting. Zhang Haiyan had just outflanked his wounds, and after hearing the news, he returned to the battlefield despite the doctor's objections. Qi Sixian also pressed the brigade headquarters forward in order to exert more pressure on the remnants of the Japanese army.

In the face of a new round of onslaught by the two brigades, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties, but they fought very tenaciously. They began to disperse into the reeds on the side of the road to shoot cold guns in small groups, and brought great losses to the 97th Army with their outstanding marksmanship.

Seeing one after another soldiers lying in a pool of blood, Li Dazhuang said angrily: "Little devil on the dog day, Lao Tzu fought with you!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to take the lead in the charge.

Zhang Haiyan shouted: "Stop! Why are you going? ”

Li Dazhuang was anxious and said, "Brigade commander." The little devil has great marksmanship, and he suffers too much from shooting, so it's better to rush up and fight them in hand-to-hand combat! ”

Zhang Haiyan's face was pale because of excessive blood loss, but his eyes were still firm. He shook his head and said, "No, there are too few pistols in the army now, and we are no match for the devils with bayonets!" Now our casualties are a little larger, but we have heavy machine guns and artillery cover, and we still have a relatively advantage. If you really want to rush up, you will suffer even more. ”

Li Dazhuang pounded the ground with his fist in annoyance. I can't wait for one person to rush up and kill all the devils.

The 36th Brigade also encountered the same problem, fighting from a distance had to endure the accurate fire of the Japanese army, and rushed forward for fear that it would not be able to fight the Japanese bayonets.

Commissioner Xiong saw clearly in the binoculars and sighed. He said, "It seems that the army is expanding too quickly, and it is not a problem?" Just those rookie eggs. Can't be attacked. If you can't hold it, it's just a casualty! ”

Zheng Weiguo also felt sad and let the untrained recruits go into battle. This is the responsibility of the commander. But he had to do this, because the Japanese army would not give them time to train their troops calmly, and they could only let the soldiers learn to fight in battle, and the tuition fee was life and blood.

About twenty miles east of the battlefield, the 97th Army's number one ace brigade, the 33rd Brigade, was lurking here, under the personal command of Zheng Huzi's gold-medal fighting means Shuanghu.

"Report, news has come from the forward observation post that the Japanese army has been dispatched to Guantai!" An operational staff officer at the brigade headquarters hurried over.

Duan Shuanghu was lying in a camouflaged grass hut squinting, and when he heard this, he stood up and said, "Let's go, go to the frontline position and have a look!" ”

Brigade Commander Zhao Yunxiang hurriedly said: "Shuanghu, you are now the deputy division commander, how can you go to the front line?" Let me go! ”

Duan Shuanghu said: "No, you are the brigade commander, you need to keep track of the troops at any time, and you can't afford to lose!" I'm going to the most suitable! As he spoke, he walked forward without looking back, with only a guard squad by his side.

Zhao Yunxiang complained bitterly, if he let a deputy division commander fold on his own territory, how would he explain to the military department at that time? But Duan Shuanghu is bigger than him, and he can't stop him if he wants to.

Kawamura Dong commanded nearly 2,000 Japanese troops to advance westward at the pace of a rapid march, and soon approached the position of the 33rd Brigade. Scouts and observation posts quickly transmitted the enemy situation to the brigade command. After Duan Shuanghu confirmed the enemy's situation, he also rushed back to discuss the specific combat plan with everyone.

Due to the large number of Japanese troops coming, some of them were unexpected by previous expectations, and the top management of the 33rd Brigade also had differences in the choice of plan. Duan Shuanghu thought for a moment and said, "Don't quarrel, everyone, the overall situation is a game of chess, we will report the situation to the military headquarters, and ask the military seat to decide!" When the officers heard this, they had no opinion.

After Zheng Weiguo received the report on the battle situation, he was busy discussing with Deputy Army Commander Wang, Chief of Staff Zhou, and Director Xiong and other staff officers, and finally decided to let this Japanese army over, and ordered the 34th Brigade and the 36th Brigade to destroy the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, and then meet the Japanese reinforcements head-on.

When the order was passed to the 33rd Brigade, everyone was a little annoyed, and Brigade Commander Zhao Yunxiang smiled bitterly: "Cough, I knew that I would fight directly, but now it's good, and the ducks in my hands are thrown to the brother troops again." ”

Duan Shuanghu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the military department has formulated a new combat plan, and our work has arrived!" ”

Zhao Yunxiang said suspiciously: "What are we doing?" Let the Japanese army go first, and then flank the brother troops at both ends? ”

Duan Shuanghu shook his head, pointed to Guantai Village and said, "That group of reinforcements don't have to worry about it, let's make a big havoc for the little devils!" ”

Zhao Yunxiang was overjoyed and said, "Directly hit the stage? Well, what a move! Criticize the vacuum, and get the magic of the art of war! ”

The 33rd Brigade was gearing up and just waiting to attack Guantai Village, but the 34th Brigade and the 36th Brigade were a little difficult. Although the reinforced brigade of the Japanese army was wiped out by them, there was only a little leftovers left, but this bit of leftovers could not be eaten for a long time.

The stragglers of the Japanese army bravely fought in the grass one by one, shooting black guns, beating sticks, relying on marksmanship and bayonets, and they were simply doing all kinds of evil. The soldiers had to carefully search one by one, so that although the casualties were greatly reduced, the progress slowed down.

As soon as Zhang Haiyan heard that the Japanese army had another 2,000 reinforcements, he was so anxious that he went straight to the fire, and said: "No, if it drags on like this, we haven't had time to wipe out the encircled Japanese army, and the devil's reinforcements will come first." ”

Li Dazhuang said: "Haiyan, let me lead the team!" Sweeping all the way over, don't even think about escaping, little devils! ”

Now there are not many Japanese troops left, and no matter how powerful the bayonet is, it is useless. Therefore, Li Dazhuang once again asked for hand-to-hand combat, intending to use the advantage of troops to roll all the way over.

Zhang Haiyan said: "No, there are too many recruits, and it is easy to run away in the reeds. If the Japanese reinforcements suddenly come over, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss! ”

Li Dazhuang was angry and said: "You are your mother-in-law's, this is not good, that is not good, just burn it!" ”

Zhang Haiyan was also very angry when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Set fire? It's arson! ”

Li Dazhuang was dumbfounded and said, "Really let it go, I'm afraid that the equipment of the Japanese army will be burned out." ”

Zhang Haiyan waved his hand and said, "I can't control it so much, pass on my order, and the battalions will shrink immediately!" The engineer company prepares the fire, and when it hears my order, it will start burning these little devils! (To be continued......)
