Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 21: Strong Soldiers
The charge of the 19th Brigade immediately angered the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
This time it was the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 23rd Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, which was reduced from 181 people when Jinshanwei landed, and the number of people who ran away was still nearly 100 people, and only two infantry squads could be put together to attack in turn, and there were not many ammunition pills.
However, Noya, the squadron leader of the 2nd Squadron, was a very arrogant little devil, and the soaring progress along the way also caused him a very serious illusion, thinking that the Chinese army was piled up with sand, and as long as the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Squadron rushed away, it would collapse, so there was no intention of withdrawing the 1st Squad that was put into the attack at all.
The leader of the 1st squad, Hinata Zhi, was also a little devil who was seriously poisoned by the spirit of bushido, and seeing that Xu Shijiu launched a counter-charge with the remaining dozen veterans, Warrant Officer Hinata Zhi was extremely arrogant and ordered the fire support team to stop shooting, and then ordered more than 30 Japanese soldiers to withdraw from the Zijian bomb, and greeted him with great momentum.
The 19th Brigade roared and rushed forward, while the Japanese soldiers moved forward silently, and the two sides collided together in just a moment, and Li Shuanggun and the twelve soldiers of the special service company also took the opportunity to get up from the small ditch and join the white-knuckle battle, which was the first white-knuckle battle in the southeast position in the defense of Nanjing.
Lieutenant Noya had the privilege of witnessing a high-level white-knuckle combat performance.
In Lieutenant Noya's view, the Hyuga Zhi team did have physical problems because of the long-distance and rapid march, but their morale was extremely high, and the cruel and ruthless killings carried out against the soldiers and civilians of the Chinese country along the way made them have a strong sense of psychological superiority in the face of the Chinese people, so this must be a massacre without suspense.
And in fact, this is indeed a slaughter without suspense, but it is not the slaughter of the Hyuga Zhi team against the Chinese army, but the slaughter of the Chinese army against the Hyuga Zhi team, the two Chinese armies add up to about 30 people, and the number of both sides is basically the same, but the stabbing jishu of the two sides is not on the same level at all.
You must know that the platoon guarding Dongshan Bridge with Gu Wei was downsized from the original 58th Division Guard Battalion, and the soldiers of the original 58th Division Guard Battalion were originally one in a hundred elites, this elite fought from Shanghai to Nanjing, fighting all the way and attrition all the way, this is undoubtedly another cruel elimination selection, how strong should this platoon that Zuihou survived be?
The reason why Xu Shijiu was furious just now was because Gu Wei was very irresponsible and wasted this strong army on the open terrain of Dongshan Bridge, which is not conducive to defending, this platoon is not a recruit platoon, but a real elite, and it is a shame that it is consumed under the fire of the Japanese army's machine guns and grenadiers.
There is also Li Shuanggun's spy company, which is almost the same situation.
The soldiers of the special service company were all selected by General Rao Guohua from nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 145th Division, not only good marksmanship, but also excellent stabbing jishu, and other officers and soldiers were holding old sleeves, but the 160 soldiers of the special service company were armed with a long spear, a short gun and a ghost-headed knife, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.
The remaining twelve veterans brought out by Li Shuanggun from Guangde are the best among these 160 people, how can their skills be simple? As soon as Li Shuanggun and the twelve veterans came into contact with the Japanese army, they saw the ghost head knife slashing up and down, and the cold light flew up and down like Yinlian, and then even the heads rose to the sky.
Although the more than 30 Japanese soldiers have undergone strict stabbing training and are physically strong, they are only ordinary Japanese soldiers after all, and they are also majestic in front of ordinary Chinese soldiers.
In just a moment's effort, more than 30 Japanese soldiers were killed like chopping melons and vegetables, while the Chinese army had almost no losses, there were more than 30 people at the beginning, and there were still more than 30 people left in Zuihou.
"Nani?" Lieutenant Noya put down his binoculars, he couldn't believe his eyes, more than thirty warriors of the Great Japanese Empire were killed like chickens and sheep by the people of the Chinese People? All the way from Jinshanwei, the performance of the Chinese army is basically the same as that of sheep, but now the sheep have torn apart the wolves in turn?
"Shoot, shoot......" Lieutenant Noya was so angry that he roared loudly and angrily.
However, it is a pity that the Chinese army on the opposite side is not in love with war at all, after killing all the Hinata Zhi squad, they didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield and then broke off and withdrew, although the machine guns and grenadiers of the Noya squadron frantically hit over, but because the distance was a thousand meters, the hit rate was difficult to guarantee.
Lieutenant Noya naturally did not give up, and immediately led the remaining Japanese troops to chase down the road, but as a result, he stepped into the minefield arranged by Li Zihan and the sappers, and more than half of the more than 50 Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot, and two trucks and four side three-wheelers were also overturned to the ground
Looking at the dozens of wounded soldiers behind him, and then looking at the road winding forward, Lieutenant Noya didn't dare to continue to attack no matter how arrogant he was, so he had to slip back to the Dongshan Bridge.

At the southern foot of Zutang Mountain, Xu Shijiu was taking Li Shuanggun and twelve Sichuan army veterans up the mountain.
While walking, Xu Shijiu turned back to Li Shuanggun and said, "Company Commander Li, your skills are good." ”
Li Shuanggun and the skills of the twelve Sichuan troops, just now Xu 19 and they all saw it clearly, and they all said that the Sichuan army was called the Huazi army plus the double spearmen, which means that the Sichuan army was not only poorly equipped but also smoked a lot of cigarettes, and its combat effectiveness was extremely poor, but the Sichuan army in front of them completely subverted the perception of the officers and soldiers of Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade on the Sichuan army.
Xu 19 didn't know that the Sichuan army in front of them was not an ordinary Sichuan army.
"Where, Captain Xu and the brothers of the Nineteenth Brigade are really powerful."
Li Shuanggun waved his hand again and again, this is not that he is sorry, but he really thinks that Xu 19 and the 19th Brigade are powerful, the white-knuckle battle just now, Li Shuanggun and the twelve veterans of the Sichuan Army certainly left a deep impression on Xu 19, Xu 19 They also left an extremely deep impression on Li Shuanggun?
And through the simple exchange just now, Li Shuanggun and they already know that the other party is just an ordinary infantry platoon of the 19th Independent Brigade, and any ordinary infantry platoon has such skills, so the combat effectiveness of this independent 19th Brigade is really incredible, and they are not convinced by Li Shuanggun.
After talking for a long time, Xu Shijiu suddenly asked, "Company Commander Li, you are from the 145th Division, right?" ”
When retreating from Danyang to Nanjing, Xu Shijiu knew from Feng Shengfa that the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army was blocking the attack in Si'an and Guangde to cover the retreat of the main force of the National Army, and since then the 145th Division has been holding on to Guangde, until two days ago, there was news that Guangde had been lost, the 145th Division was annihilated, and the division commander Rao Guohua was also martyred
Xu 19 felt that Li Shuanggun and them were likely to be the remnants of the 145th Division who broke through from the Guangde battlefield.
Li Shuanggun nodded, the expression on his face was also slightly dark, Xu Shijiu said that the 145th Division, he thought of General Rao Guohua who was martyred outside Guangde City, and the twelve Sichuan Army veterans behind Li Shuanggun also lowered their heads, as a soldier of the special service company, but they could not die with the division, they were all deeply ashamed.
Seeing Li Shuanggun nodded, Xu Shijiu was immediately in awe, he undoubtedly admired the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army, and it is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army in Si'an and Guangde, the Japanese army on the South Road would have already captured Wuhu, and the more than 500,000 remnants of the soldiers who retreated from the Songhu battlefield had already been dumplings by the Japanese army.
What's more, General Rao Guohua, the commander of the 145th Division, was still killed in Guangde.
At that moment, Xu Shijiu suddenly retracted his feet and stood upright, and shouted: "All of them, salute!"
As soon as Xu 19 gave the order, all the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade in the vicinity stood upright, either raising their hands or raising their guns to salute Li Shuanggun and the twelve Sichuan Army veterans behind him.
"Either way, or not." Li Shuanggun was so anxious that he shook his hands and returned the salute indiscriminately.
"Rite over!" Xu Shijiu accepted the salute, and then said, "The brothers of the 145th Division are all heroes, and they want to get it." ”
"What a hero?" Li Shuanggun shook his head again and again, "Guangde zuihou is still lost, I'm ashamed." ”
Xu 19 said: "It is very rare that your 145th Division can hold Guangde with the strength of a division for so many days, even if you change to the teaching corps of the Central Military Academy, you may not be able to fight better than you, heroes are heroes, you don't have to be modest, especially General Rao Guohua, who can be a model for the whole Chinese military personnel." ”
While speaking, the group had already arrived at Hongjue Temple, and Xu Shijiu called Cao Mancang and asked him to go to the room to get some food.
Cao Mancang soon walked in with three men carrying thirteen bowls of gnocchi on a tray, Li Shuanggun and the twelve Sichuan army veterans were indeed hungry, they hadn't eaten for two days, could they not be hungry? Without waiting for Xu Shijiu to greet them, they took the big sea bowl and ate it in a hurry, and it only took a moment for the big sea bowl in everyone's hand to see the bottom.
Li Shuanggun held the bowl and licked the soup at the bottom of the bowl with great satisfaction, and said, "Turtle son's, this is the best batter that Lao Yanzi has ever eaten in his life."
The twelve veterans also looked at Xu Nineteen, but they were not embarrassed to beg.
Xu Shijiu smiled, turned back to Cao Mancang and said, "Old Cao, go cook a big pot again." ”
Cao Mancang agreed, and Li Shuanggun stood up and said, "Captain Xu, how can you be embarrassed?" ”
Xu Shijiu smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Company Commander Li doesn't have to care, we can't take out the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and a few bowls of gnocchi can still afford to entertain, no matter what, the Sichuan army also belongs to the national army sequence, right?" Everyone is a brotherhood, as long as our 19th Brigade has a bite to eat, we will never let you go hungry. ”
Li Shuanggun was silent, and he could hear that Xu Shijiu had the intention of co-opting them.
Xu Nineteen does have the intention of incorporating these thirteen Sichuan troops, so how can Xu Nineteen, a thirteen strong soldiers, be easily let go? Didn't say it, co-opt!
