Chapter 834: Where the military soul is
More than a dozen dragon tooth scouts who took the initiative to fire and exposed their whereabouts in order to block the advance of the Japanese army were suppressed by the dense fire of the devils and couldn't even lift their heads.
A second lieutenant platoon commander lay behind a rock surrounded by wild grass, and with a sip, he spat out the dirt and grass that had been eaten into his mouth because of the explosion of the grenade thrown by the devil's grenadier, and couldn't help but bow his head and curse the little devil angrily.
A soldier beside him said: "Platoon commander, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, let's not withdraw!" ”
The second lieutenant platoon commander looked back at the direction of Niangzi Pass, gritted his teeth and said: "We can't withdraw, we must buy time for the defenders in the pass as much as possible, the longer we hold on, the more prepared they will be." ”
After speaking, he raised the submachine gun in his hand and fired a wide range of bullets forward, nearly ten bullets flew out with a whistling shot, but because of the hasty shooting, he lost his accuracy, and the bullets fell into the air.
His shooting attracted intensive fire from the devils to retaliate, da...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Dense gunfire rang out, a large number of bullets whistled and flew in, and the second lieutenant platoon commander and the reconnaissance soldiers beside him hurriedly bowed their heads and fell down.
Whoosh, the hot bullet flew dangerously over their heads, and because of the close distance, both of them seemed to sense the hot and burning temperature of the bullet.
Just when they were all secretly rejoicing, it may be that the devils noticed that their firepower was thin and there were not many of them, so they all had the courage to step up and approach them.
With the help of the fire from the explosion and the light of the flares released by the devils, when the second lieutenant platoon commander quietly looked up again, he found that the devils' forward infantry was less than 100 meters away from them.
The second lieutenant platoon commander once again risked being hit, raised the submachine gun in his hand and fired at the front, then looked around and shouted to his comrades who were also suppressed by the devil: "Everyone alternately cover and retreat, retreat while fighting, delay as much time as possible, I will cover you, you withdraw first, quickly!" ”
The other soldiers hidden around got up one after another, bent their waists and began to retreat, while the second lieutenant platoon commander and the soldiers around him stubbornly continued to fire at the devils, blocking the speed of the Japanese approaching as much as possible to cover the retreat of their comrades.
However, due to the firepower of the two of them, they were too thin in the face of thousands of Japanese troops, and they were quickly suppressed by the dense firepower concentrated by the devils.
In the fierce battle, the soldier next to the second lieutenant platoon commander was unfortunately shot in the head, died on the spot, and fell behind the rock.
The second lieutenant platoon commander could not care about grief, because at this moment the enemy was approaching him less than thirty meters, he took two grenades from his fallen comrades, sounded them one after another, and then threw them out of the rock with all his might.
Rumble! Rumble! Under the loud bang, two hot and dazzling fires rose to the ground.
In the flames, about a dozen devils who were trying to rush up were immediately blown up and fell down, killing and wounding all over the place.
Immediately after, the devil's intensive retaliatory firepower came as promised, bang bang, the hot and dense bullets hit the rock where the second lieutenant platoon commander was hiding kept making a muffled sound, and sparks flew everywhere along with broken stones.
The group of devils took the opportunity to press up, and when they were about to rush to the front of the rock, the second lieutenant platoon commander lay sideways and poked out the muzzle of his gun from the right side of the rock and fired at the crowd of devils.
Da Da Da ...... A shuttle of submachine gun bullets quickly ran out in less than a few seconds, and a large amount of bullets rained down into the dense crowd of devils, which immediately brought great damage to them.
The devils who were charging in a dense formation fell more than a dozen people on the spot.
An angry devil lieutenant who led the team shouted and scolded the officers and soldiers under his command to immediately return fire.
By the time the devils reacted and fired back, the second lieutenant platoon commander had already retracted behind the rocks, and the devils' bullets whizzed past the edge of the rocks, but they all hit the clearing.
The counterattack failed to hit the target, and the devils began to rush forward again in anger.
The second lieutenant platoon commander knew that it was impossible for him to retreat at this time.
So, he checked his submachine gun, found that the bullets had already run out, and touched the magazine on his body, but it was empty.
With a self-deprecating smile, this anti-Japanese veteran, who had been in the army for more than two years, pulled out a sharp dagger with cold light from his waist, and listened to the chaotic footsteps outside the rock, and all kinds of insults from the devil officer.
The second lieutenant platoon commander resolutely raised the dagger in his hand and aimed it at his heart.
He wants to commit suicide, as a veteran of the Dragon's Tooth Column, a second lieutenant platoon commander, he will never allow and will never be a prisoner of the devils, and would rather die than surrender, which is the most basic creed of every Dragon's Tooth soldier.
What's more, an absolute elite veteran like him, who was born in the guard regiment, is Qiao Youhua's absolute confidant, and he worships Qiao Youhua to the extreme, respects him like a god, and will never do anything to turn his back on Qiao Youhua, their commander, and the principal.
Even if it's death! Because they are soldiers, gentlemen, and iron-blooded men! It is better to die in battle. Never kneel!
This point has been forged since the establishment of the Longya Anti-Japanese Brigade to the later Longya Task Force participating in the defense of Nanjing.
They take Qiao Youhua as the spiritual pillar, and are deeply infected by Qiao Youhua's will, do not abandon or give up, would rather die than surrender, protect their family and defend the country, and have no regrets, this is where their military soul creed lies.
"Commander, regiment commander, brothers, I took the first step, it's a bit of a pity, I won't be able to fight side by side with you in the future!" Just when the second lieutenant platoon commander was in despair, holding the dagger in both hands, intending to stab it violently.
Behind him, there was a burst of tearful shouting: "Rush, kill!" "That's from your own reinforcements.
The second lieutenant platoon commander turned his head suddenly, only to see a large number of his own soldiers in the firelight, while firing fiercely in this direction, they rushed to swarm.
The familiar MP38 submachine gun, MG34 general-purpose machine gun, Mauser Type 98 manual rifle, and the familiar roar of his comrades-in-arms made this desperate man can't help but burst into tears.
Under the leadership of Zheng Yunshan, the reinforcements relied on their ferocious firepower to sweep away the leaves with the autumn wind, and hit the devils who almost rushed to the rocks back.
A large number of devils were caught off guard, and were swept away by the soldiers of the first battalion of the dragon's tooth with intensive firepower, and fell down one after another, and the remaining devils thought that they had been ambushed and fell into the dragon's tooth column, so they retreated in a hurry, and on the way to retreat, they were chased and killed by the first battalion of guards.
The casualties were extremely heavy, more than 1,000 devils, after this battle, more than 200 people were lost, if it weren't for Zheng Yunshan because he didn't know the reality of the Japanese army, he was afraid of being deceived, and directly took advantage of the situation to continue the pursuit, maybe this Shouyang reinforcement army would be completely defeated.
Zheng Yunshan's vigilance was not unreasonable, because Yangquan was not far after the Niangzi Pass, and he could never have imagined that the reinforcements sent by the devil were only a little more than a large number of troops.
