Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 388 Heartbreaking
Datianba Village, northwest of Nanlinghu Town, Wuxing City, at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, corpses are everywhere.
After the requisition was completed, the frenzied Japanese army gathered all the men in the village, killed them with machine guns, and then drove the women to a large courtyard to carry out inhumane rape. Lewd. In the end, the frenzied Japanese soldiers killed all the women with bayonets, and cut off their heads along with the men who had been shot before, and built a Kyoto Temple.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers took pictures in front of the Kyoto Temple with sabers and bayonets that were still dripping blood after killing people.
The unfulfilled Japanese soldiers loaded the collected belongings and food supplies onto carts, caged mules and horses, and prepared to hit the road. In order to ensure safety, the Japanese commander sent a detachment of imps to open the way in front.
At this moment, a reconnaissance company belonging to the headquarters of the Third Provisional Division drove over from Longxi in the east and came to the Liangshan area, which was only a few tens of meters high, and the time was already noon. The task of the reconnaissance company was to catch a few tongues and find out which direction the Japanese troops were coming from, and there was no one to warn them about the spies laid along the way.
"Report to the squad leader, there are devils"
A squad of soldiers was resting in a bamboo forest more than fifty meters away from the dirt road at the bottom of the western hillside, and the soldiers who were hiding in the thatched bushes outside the forest as an observation post whispered.
"Oh?"
The squad leader was shocked, hunched over to the edge of the forest, crouched in the grass and carefully observed, and found that there were only more than ten devils, and immediately said excitedly:
"There aren't many little devils, so we can eat them in one bite."
"Ah...... But...... The company commander said that he had found the Japanese army and asked us to go back immediately to report, "The sentry was a little hesitant.
"What are you afraid of, if you have a heart or not, let's eat this Japanese army...... In addition, the gunfire was loud, and the company commanders naturally knew that something had happened and would not delay. "The sergeant squad leader was very resolute.
"Okay"
The sentries gave in, and soon the twenty-one officers and men quickly dispersed, eight Type 38 rifles, two crooked-handled machine guns, two Thomson submachine guns, and a Springfield sniper rifle all opened their safes, and the black muzzles were aimed at the devils who were getting closer and closer.
The unaware devil soldier's face was flushed, his eyebrows fluttered, and he hummed a small tune easily, most of them were still reminiscing about the rape and massacre just now, the gunshot had already sounded, and in the sound of "da-da", a burst of blood mist rose from the chest of the devil walking in front, and he fell down without snorting.
The Japanese army suffered a sudden attack, and after a short period of distraction, they were about to lie down, and the dense rain of bullets had swept in, leaving more than a dozen devils screaming and falling in a pool of blood, and their bodies convulsed a few times before they swallowed.
"Oops, I forgot to keep a live mouth"
The sergeant squad leader was happy, and suddenly remembered the task of this trip, and suddenly beat his chest and stood up, but fortunately, at this time, a soldier pointed ahead: "Squad leader, a large group of devils are rushing over, see that there are more than 100 people......"
The squad leader fixed his eyes, didn't he? Three hundred meters away, a large number of devils suddenly rushed out of the village and rushed towards Liangshan.
"Withdraw"
The squad leader waved his hand and decisively retreated towards the mountain.
The Japanese commander, who heard the gunfire in the village and knew that the situation had changed, immediately ordered his troops to put down their mules, horses, and carts, gather their ranks, and rush out of the village. This Japanese army was part of the 15th Brigade of the 2nd Division, and its commander was Ichiro Someya, a lieutenant squadron leader.
"Baga"
When Ichiro Someya came to the foot of the mountain, he saw the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of opening the way in the blood, and roared angrily: "It must be the defeated soldiers of Shina who have retreated from the front line of Wuzhen and Tongxiang, and they will pursue it immediately, and Yu Yushina people" Lieutenant Someya, who was annoyed and angry, decided to use the blood of Chinese soldiers to summon the souls of his dead men
On Liangshan, Captain Li Bo, commander of the reconnaissance company, heard the gunshots and immediately knew that the road was encountering the Japanese army, and hurriedly led people to rely on the terrain to carry out.
The Japanese troops rushed halfway up the mountain, getting closer and closer to the main position on the top of the mountain, and from 400 to 200 meters, the officers and men of the defenders who were lying in ambush behind the rocks could already clearly see the hideous faces of the Japanese soldiers and the flickering cold light from the bayonets.
When the Japanese troops rushed to a distance of 100 meters from the blocking line, Li Bo shouted "open fire," saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, and a burst of gunfire rang out from the main peak and the two wings of Liangshan, which had just been dead and silent, and more than 80 rifles fired in unison, accompanied by the roar of more than 10 submachine guns and five or six crooked machine guns.
Hundreds of bullets whistled and tore a wide opening in the Japanese front, and thirty devil soldiers fell screaming in the blood mist.
Ichiro Someya opened his mouth in surprise, but he quickly calmed down, and from the sound of gunfire, he accurately judged that the defenders on the mountain were about a company, and there was no heavy firepower, believing that his elite soldiers would be able to easily defeat the enemy in front of him. The only thing he didn't expect was that in order to prevent the devils from crushing at the touch of a button, Li Bo ordered most of the submachine guns and light machine guns not to fire, and at the same time, the machine gun platoon directly under the company headquarters did not move.
The Japanese troops in this period were the highest quality of individual soldiers during the entire war of aggression against China, and they did not give the riflemen of the reconnaissance company a second chance to fire a salvo, and immediately lay down on the spot and started firing at the defenders.
The bullets fired by the devil soldiers, like rhythmic raindrops, quickly pounced on the Chinese officers and soldiers on the mountain. The long-term and solid training has made the devil's shooting very accurate, and from time to time some of our officers and soldiers on the mountain have been shot and fallen. Without bothering to check the life and death of the fallen brothers around them, the officers and men of the brave and fearless reconnaissance company hooked the board machine, and the bullets fired from time to time drilled holes in the heads and bodies of the devil soldiers, and blood shot everywhere.
In order to suppress the firepower of the Japanese army, the remaining submachine guns and crooked machine guns were put into battle in turn and began to suppress the Japanese firepower strongly.
Ichiro Someya already felt that the situation was not good, but the troops under his command suffered such huge casualties that he had to continue the fight, otherwise he would definitely be ordered by his commander to be disemboweled, so after shouting "kill to give", he ordered the grenadiers who were ready to attack quickly to suppress the fire points of the Chinese army.
Most of the Japanese grenadiers were experienced veterans, with tenacity of mind, and they did not care about the bullets that grazed by their side, and straightened up and half-knelt to support the grenadiers, a distance of more than 100 meters.
"Knock-"
Grenades fired from ten grenadiers roared and swooped down on the defenders' machine-gun positions scattered throughout the mountains.
"Boom-"
A series of explosions were heard, and although six machine gunners heard the screams of the shells and dodged in time, there were still four machine gunners who did not have time to react, and together with the secondary marksman, screamed and turned into a blood mist in the sky, and the stumps and broken arms and machine gun parts were scattered all over the mountain rocks.
At the moment when the Japanese grenadiers were firing, Li Bo also quickly noticed the movement of the devils, and shouted loudly: "Attention to the machine gun platoon, target the Japanese grenadier position, open fire"
The four Type 92 heavy machine guns, which had been prepared for a long time, began to roar, and the devil grenadiers, who were loading grenades, were quickly swept into piles of minced meat by the airtight barrage.
"Baga, quickly destroy the heavy machine guns of the Chinese army"
Lieutenant Someya, who was suppressed by the heavy machine-gun fire of the Chinese army, lay dead on the ground and gave orders to the surviving grenadiers with a hoarse voice.
However, before the devil grenadiers could react, the sound of "dong dong" and "bang bang" sounded one after another, and the shells fired by nine grenadiers and six 60 mortars drew a perfect parabola in the air, and came into close contact with the Japanese grenadier positions and machine gun positions.
Almost instantly, the Japanese grenadier positions were shrouded in a cloud of smoke and dust intertwined with blood and fire, while the few Japanese machine guns quickly muted fire.
Ichiro Someya watched in despair as his grenadier position and light machine gun position were swept away by the Shina defenders on the mountain, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. At this time, Lieutenant Someya realized that he had been deceived, and the actual strength of the other party must be more than one company, could it be a battalion or even a regiment? Otherwise, where is there so much heavy firepower? But in the small Liangshan, where can there be so many soldiers?
However, this question did not exist for long, and the Japanese riflemen suffered more and more losses under the combined attack of heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars, and Ichiro Someya was extremely sad in his heart, so he took out his pistol and shot himself in the temple.
At the end of the battle, after inflicting harsh punishments on the remaining eleven Japanese soldiers, these bruised devils finally explained the truth.
It turned out that the 15th Brigade of the 2nd Division, under the leadership of its brigade commander, Major General Taro of Katayama Province, first came to a transposition with the 7th Division, and then interspersed westward from the Wuzhen Expressway.
During the search for the corpses of Japanese soldiers, the officers and men of the reconnaissance company found a large number of photographs of Japanese officers slashing the heads of Chinese villagers tied up with command knives, and Japanese soldiers raping a group of Chinese women. Lewdness, and Japanese soldiers used bayonets to pick up the baby's corpse to show off, all kinds of evil and evil forms are outrageous.
When the news reached the temporary headquarters of the Third Division in Lijiawan Village, southwest of Wuxingcheng, Long Shaogang slammed his hand on the table: "The little devil is mad, he will not avenge this revenge, and he will not be a man."
Dai Ziran stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, and sighed: "From Wuzhen to Xiahu Town, there are at least hundreds of villages along the way, and there are four towns with thousands of people, and the Japanese army has killed at least 50,000 or 60,000 people in this secret march alone, and we should disclose this matter to the international community."
"Does it work?"
Long Shaogang snorted coldly: "The Brussels meeting of the League of Nations knows that the Japanese are invading, but what is the actual situation? Not even a single fart dared to put a fart, and the Americans were even more blatant in supporting Japanese aggression. It's better to rely on others than on ourselves, we still have to think about how to get through the current crisis, and then think about how to take revenge"
Dai Ziran nodded and asked the communications staff officer, "Where have they been, Zhang Fakui?" ”
The communications staff officer stood up and reported: "After the failure of going north to Changxing, the headquarters of the Right Wing Army has been transferred to Yangjiabu, and at present the large force is crossing the river, and it is expected that it will soon move closer to us"
Long Shaogang came to the map and ordered: "Order Zhou Juncheng to guard the front line of Caihuajing and ensure the safety of the main force." Wu Guohua was ordered not to let the Japanese army cross the Huancheng River, and resolutely blocked several major bridges...... In any case, we have to make sure that the army is safe. ”
"Yes"
The communications staff officer immediately sat down and gave a report, and the fierce gunfire outside the house could be clearly heard, and the situation was dangerous.
