Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 20 Death is worth it

Dongshan Bridge is located between Wolong Mountain and Zutang Mountain, is a small market town, the south road Japanese army captured Guangde after the north through Langxi, Dongshan Bridge is the only way, Xu 19 set up a guard position here, by the deputy captain Gu Wei with a platoon to guard here, Xu 19 with Gao Shenxing, the black blind man arrived, this platoon has almost unbearable

In terms of the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, the veterans of the 19th Brigade are definitely stronger than the Japanese army.

In terms of the quality of officers at the grassroots level, the officers of the 19th Brigade will not be much different.

However, in terms of equipment level, the 19th Brigade was far inferior to the Japanese army, each infantry squad of the Japanese army was equipped with a light machine gun, and each infantry squad also had a grenadier group, equipped with three 50mm caliber grenadiers, while the 19th Brigade only had a total of four Makqin heavy machine guns plus 16 imitation Czech light machine guns.

In the Battle of Songhu, the 19th Brigade captured the guns and weapons of the old and young Japanese soldiers, and these guns and weapons are still there, if you can get the ammunition medicine, the firepower of the 19th Brigade can be increased at least several times compared with the present, but unfortunately, the Japanese army's ammunition is not so easy to handle, and now this part of the guns and weapons are all burned sticks.

Due to the disparity in equipment, and the fact that there were no strong fortifications available for use at Dongshan Bridge, the platoon led by Gu Wei was quickly beaten by the Japanese army, Xu 19 bent down to the position, and saw the veterans lying on the position one by one, with hideous eyebrows, and his eyes almost burst into flames.

"What about Gu Wei? What about Gu Wei, I'm going to shoot him! ”

Xu Shijiu asked when he met people, Xu Shijiu was really on fire, he told Gu Wei again and again, the terrain of Dongshan Bridge is unfavorable, once the Japanese army attacks on a large scale, it is necessary to withdraw to Zutang Mountain with the troops, but now the platoon guarding Dongshan Bridge has been killed and wounded more than half, but Gu Wei is still holding on and refusing to retreat, what is he going to do?

The old 19th Route Army fought a war, and the most taboo thing was to be brutal, even if it was to defend to the death, it was necessary to choose the most favorable terrain to defend it.

When Xu Shijiu was looking for Gu Wei, Gu Wei was holding the only Czech light machine gun in the platoon and firing fiercely in front of him, and the bullets were splashed out like splashing water, and he finished a magazine in only a moment, and then turned his head and shouted: "Impeachment medicine, quickly give the old man a medicine, impeachment medicine......"

Xu Shijiu kicked Gu Wei to the ground with one kick, snatched the machine gun splitter in his hand, and then slapped a magazine from the bullet medicine hand who had fallen to the ground next to him.

Gu Wei was kicked to the ground unexpectedly, and when he was about to scold, he found that it was Xu Shijiu, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "Captain, what are you doing here?" ”

"You ask me, I'm going to ask you!" Xu Shijiu followed by two or three shorts, and then knocked down two more Japanese soldiers, and yelled at Gu Wei without looking back, "What did I tell you before you left?" Did I let you fight hard with Xiao Ri here? You weishenme don't withdraw, weishenme don't withdraw? ”

Gu Wei scratched his head, unable to answer at all.

Seriously, as soon as the gunshot rang out just now, Gu Wei forgot all of Xu Shijiu's advice, and at that time he only had one thought in his mind, that is, he would kill all the little Ri on the other side, and kill them all......

Xu Shijiu's machine gun soon attracted Xiao Ri's revenge, and a short scream suddenly fell from the sky, Xu Shijiu only had time to shrink his head, and two grenades fell in front of the trench and exploded violently, the violent explosion kicked off the hot sand, and fell on the heads and backs of Xu Shijiu and Gu Wei, burning their teeth.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Gu Wei was still sitting in the trench in a daze, Xu Shijiu hurriedly carried the machine gun with one hand, and then freed his right hand to grab Gu Wei's neck and dragged it to the side, and after walking two steps, there was a short scream falling from the sky behind his head, Xu Shijiu froze, quickly threw the machine gun, and grabbed Gu Wei with both hands, and fell to the ground.

Xiao Ri's grenadier really didn't blow out, although the grenade just now missed, but this time the two grenades fell directly on Xu Shijiu's hiding place just now, only to hear two loud bangs, the trench was completely covered with smoke and dust, and the sand raised by the explosion almost buried Xu Shijiu and Gu Wei alive!

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

The black blind man and Gao Shenxing hurriedly rushed over and dug out Xu Shijiu and Gu Wei

"Phew, phew!" Xu Shijiu spit out the sand that had choked into his mouth, wiped the smoke marks on his face with his sleeve, and couldn't open his eyes for a while, so he hurriedly said to Gao Shenxing, "Machine gun, let's see what the machine gun looks like?" ”

The black blind man over there had already dug out the imitation Czech light machine gun from the sand, but just now fortunately, the haode machine gun was completely out of shape at this time, and the entire bolt machine was all a pile of fragments, and it couldn't be repaired, so the black blind man threw the scrapped machine gun to the ground and said with a bitter face: "Captain, this gun can't be repaired." ”

"I'll settle accounts with you when I go back." Xu Shijiu finally opened his eyes, turned around and glared at Gu Wei viciously, and then yelled at the remaining dozen or so veterans around him, "What the hell are you still doing in a daze, take the brothers who are injured and don't die, and withdraw quickly." ”

"Captain, it's too late!" Gao Shenxing said in a deep voice, "Xiao Ri Ben is already approaching in front of him, at this time, retreat and expose his back to Xiao Ri Ben, will it not be a live target for them to practice shooting?" ”

"Withdraw, go back one by one!" Xu Shijiu said categorically, "After the old man is broken!" ”

"Captain, I'm with you." The black blind man drew out a short-handled bayonet, and the usually harmless black face of humans and animals has become extremely hideous, "Deflated calves, I'll kill them." ”

"Captain, I'm not leaving!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"I'll stay too!"

"His grandmother's, and Xiao Ri are fighting!"

Xu Shijiu, as the captain of the colonel, resolutely left behind, this move was like a spark thrown into a dry pyre, and in an instant, it ignited these dozen veterans who had survived the battle, and one by one took off the steel helmets and hats on their heads and threw them on the ground, and then opened the military uniforms on their bodies, and they were determined to fight with the Japanese army.

Xu Jiu was furious, and was about to reprimand these veterans when an abrupt gunfire suddenly sounded from the other direction.

When Xu 19 and more than a dozen veterans turned their heads to inspect, they saw that the Japanese soldiers who had opened the skirmish line on the opposite side and were bending down and rushing forward had fallen several, and the gunfire came very suddenly, Xu 19 didn't understand, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side were also confused, thinking that they had been ambushed by the national army, and quickly retreated.

##########

It was Li Shuanggun and the fighters of the special service company who had just shot.

After Li Shuanggun and the remaining twelve soldiers of the special service company broke through from Guangde, they retreated all the way to the north, but they fell behind the Japanese army.

"Company commander, we're in trouble now."

"On the other hand, we have relieved the siege of the Central Army, but the Central Army may not care about our life or death."

"Company commander, Xiao Ri's infantry is here, there is a squad, what should I do now?"

"Company commander, we shouldn't have shot just now, how good is it to sneak through, regardless of whether they are killed or alive by the central army?"

At the moment of life and death, the twelve veterans of the spy company have started to complain, it is no wonder that the Sichuan army has suffered all kinds of white eyes since it left Sichuan, such as the commander of the Second War Zone Yan simply refused the Sichuan army to enter the Shanxi battlefield, how can the Sichuan army have a good impression of the central army with sufficient food and salary and enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment?

Of course, the treatment of the Central Army is better than that of the Sichuan Army, but it is actually very bitter.

"Fart!" Li Shuanggun said angrily, "The inhumanity of the Central Army is the business of the Central Army, but our Sichuan Army cannot be unjust, and our Sichuan Army is here to do Hazi?" I'm here to play the little day! ”

"But company commander, we don't have to impeach, why don't we fight?"

"If you don't have a bullet, you will fight with a white edge, all of them, and you will not be able to use a big knife!"

Although the twelve veterans were full of complaints, they were really unambiguous when it came to fighting devils, and immediately threw the rifles in their hands to the ground one by one, and removed the ghost head knives from their backs.

The gunfire on the opposite side suddenly fell silent, and the 19th Brigade was a little confused

Gu Wei scratched his head and said in confusion: "Strange, why didn't they shoot?" ”

"They are Sichuan troops, most of them were withdrawn from the battlefields of Si'an and Guangde, and I am afraid that there are no more bullets." Gao Shenxing's eyes were sharp, just now he had seen that the other party was wearing a gray single-cloth military uniform, and he was also carrying a hat and a ghost head knife on his back, just looking at this outfit, he knew that it must be the Sichuan army.

Xu 19 had already determined through the telescope that there was indeed a Sichuan army on the opposite side, and immediately ordered: "All bayonets and prepare to attack." ”

"Attack?" Gu Wei was stunned and said, "Captain, it's the Japanese army attacking now, and didn't you say you were going to retreat just now?" ”

"It was just now, and now is now." Xu Jiujiu put down the binoculars and said coldly, "Just now, the Sichuan Army brothers helped us out of the siege, and now the Sichuan Army brothers are in trouble, how can we stand idly by?" As he spoke, Xu Shijiu had already pulled out the two twenty-shot box cannons inserted in the armed belt at his waist, opened the nose of the machine again, and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

"Xiao Ri Ben, grandpa will kill you." The black blind man rushed out of the trench with Xu Shijiu first.

Then Gao Shenxing, holding the Zhongzheng sword and following Xu Shijiu and the black blind man rushed out, and then Gu Wei and more than a dozen veterans also rushed out, Gu Wei and these dozen veterans are all in the Central Army, to be honest, they really look down on the Sichuan Army, and feel that it is really not worth it to save so many brothers from the Sichuan Army.

But having said that, Xu Shijiu Ken did not hesitate to risk his life in order to save more than a dozen Sichuan soldiers named Huazi, but he still moved Gu Wei and a dozen veterans, Xu Shijiu was still like this to the Sichuan army he didn't know, and it was conceivable for the soldiers under him to be able to follow such a commander, and it was worth dying.
