Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 216

At the junction of Tongling and Chizhou, the Japanese army was being stubbornly resisted by the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment.

In order to do enough tricks and help the old devil Haneda strengthen his confidence in reinforcing Tongling, Shu Tongwen gave the 3rd Regiment a death order.

Although the equipment of the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment is inferior to that of the 19th Detachment, and it lacks training, and its combat experience cannot be compared with the 19th Detachment, in terms of fighting will, the Southern Anhui Detachment is not under the 19th Detachment.

Seeing that the sky had already darkened, but the gendarmerie had never been able to break through the defensive line, the old devil Haneda couldn't help but be a little anxious, just five minutes ago, he received a telegram from Takeshita Kojiro, the captain of the Tongling County Military Police, that the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui that was attacking Tongling County had broken through the outer defense line, and the troops were pointing directly at the fortifications of the city wall

Once the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui broke through the siege of the fortifications, then the battle situation in Tongling was gone

At that moment, the old devil Haneda called Yamamoto, the captain of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, to him, and said in a deep voice: "Yamamoto-san, Tongling County is already in danger, I hope you can break through the defense line within half an hour, otherwise, Takeshita-san and more than 100 imperial warriors of the Tongling Gendarmerie will be shattered." ”

If the gendarmerie is not used, you can only count on the 56th Brigade of the Independent Infantry.

"Hello." Yamamoto bowed heavily, turned around and returned to his brigade headquarters.

Back at the temporary headquarters of the brigade, Yamamoto called his four squadron leaders to him and ordered them to select fifty elite veterans from each squadron, and then the old devil Yamamoto took off his coat and the general's tweed, and stepped on the battlefield wearing only a white shirt.

(Dividing Line)

Haneda and Yamamoto did not know that the 3rd Regiment of the Southern Anhui Detachment, which was responsible for stopping them, had already suffered most casualties

After the Qingyang Independent Regiment was expanded into the southern Anhui detachment, two regiments were quickly erected, these two regiments are also the old foundation of the original Qingyang Independent Regiment, and the combat effectiveness is still very strong, but this 3rd regiment was just expanded half a month ago, Shu Tongwen transferred some of the Yu troops and bones from the L regiment and the regiment, and then based on the militia of the Qingyang County Brigade and several district squads, it was formed into the 3rd regiment, in other words, the officers and soldiers of the 3rd regiment were still militia half a month ago, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined.

In less than half a day, the 3rd Regiment had already suffered more than half a fatal, and more than 900 officers and men had already died so that less than 200 remained, and most of the rest were wounded.

Zhao Laomao, the commander of the 3rd regiment, is also a veteran who was killed in the ten-year civil war, and when he saw his soldiers fall one by one, he also killed his red eyes, and called the remaining more than 100 people in the whole regiment to him, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, people are dead and immortal, and they will not die for thousands of years, whether we can win this battle depends on whether we can defend Xiaofang Mountain, all of them are damn to Lao Tzu carefully, if Little Japan wants to pass from here, unless we are all dead."

It's just that Zhao Laomao and the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment didn't know that the reason why Shu Tongwen wanted them to hold Xiaofang Mountain was not to block the Japanese army in Chizhou here, but to strengthen the determination of the old ghost Haneda to help Tongling, but Shu Tongwen didn't expect that the 3rd Regiment would fight so resolutely and so heroically that the whole regiment would be martyred

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of more than 100 remnants of the regiment suddenly turned red, and they looked at Zhao Laomao with resolute eyes, and a little soldier who was only fifteen or sixteen years old was still trembling with fear just now, but when he saw that the regiment commander and his comrades-in-arms around him were red-eyed, they quickly calmed down.

Even if he dies, with so many brothers by his side, he will not be lonely on the Huangquan Road

"Brothers, get on the bayonet" Zhao Laomao pulled out a rifle from under a veteran who had died, and then pulled out the bayonet from the waist of the veteran, stuck into the seat slot, more than 100 remnants of the soldiers also bayonet on the slot, standing behind Zhao Laomao, what kind of commander an army has, what kind of soldiers will there be, will not be afraid of death, soldiers will not be afraid of death.

When I looked back, a large group of Japanese soldiers had already pressed up with bayonets, and it was already dark at this time, but the bayonets in the hands of the little Japanese were still flashing with a cold glow in the curtain, and they could feel the chilling killing intent from afar, and it was obvious that the little Japan that came up this time was no longer a gendarmerie

Zhao Laomao turned around and smiled at the hundred or so remnants behind him, and then greeted him with a bayonet.

No one said a word, including the little soldier who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the remaining 100 or so remnants of the whole regiment followed Zhao Laomao out of the trench to meet the surging Japanese army in front.

(Dividing Line)

Huang Baitao couldn't stay at the headquarters, so he came to Chen Shizhang's division headquarters.

After staying in Chen Shizhang's division headquarters for less than half an hour, Huang Baitao took the guards to the forward observation post, and heard that the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army near Xiaofang Mountain, Huang Baitao wanted to observe the battle situation at close range, Chen Shizhang was worried about Huang Baitao's safety, and personally took the guard battalion to the forward observation post to protect Huang Baitao.

When Zhao Laomao launched a counter-charge with the remaining more than 100 remnants of the whole regiment, Huang Baitao and Chen Shizhang had already arrived at the forward observation post and had been watching for more than ten minutes.

"What do they want?" Seeing Zhao Laomao rushing out of the trench with more than a hundred remnants of Zuihou, roaring towards the Japanese army, Huang Baitao's hairs stood up, what did they want? More than 100 people countercharged at least 200 Japanese troops on the opposite side? Do they want to fight with little Japan with bayonets? Are they going to fight bayonets?

"Commander, I'm afraid they're out of bullets." Chen Shizhang said gloomily.

"No bullets? They have all hit until they run out of bullets, and they will never take half a step back? Huang Baitao was awe-inspiring when he heard this.

Chen Shizhang said: "They are afraid that they will die order, but it's a pity, this army is afraid that it will all be exhausted." ”

Between the words, the more than 100 remnants of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army had already collided head-on with more than 200 Japanese soldiers, and it was a tragic white-knives battle, although they were far apart, but the strong bloody atmosphere, as well as the resolute meaning that flowed from the soldiers of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, were almost stunned and pounced on Huang Baitao's face.

Huang Baitao seemed to be able to hear even the sound of soldiers when the bayonets of both sides fought, and even the popping sound of the bayonet piercing into the human body was faintly audible.

At this moment, Huang Baitao's soul was trembling: "Good looks, all good looks, the brothers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui are really good, good men, they are all good men" Saying that, the corners of Huang Baitao's eyes were already moist, although the positions are different, although the political tendencies are also different, but this does not prevent Huang Baitao from respecting this group of anti-Japanese war veterans

Chen Shizhang was also deeply shocked by the tragic scene in front of him, the unit responsible for fighting and stopping, nearly 1,000 people in the whole regiment did not withdraw from the battle alive, until Zuihou ran out of bullets, they refused to retreat, but launched a decisive charge against the Japanese army with bayonets, what kind of army is this?

Xu Nineteen really has such a great charm, worthy of their allegiance?

"Junzao, I now understand that our army Weishenme suffered a loss under the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and Zhang Wenqing was not unjustly lost." Chen Shizhang put down the binoculars and said with a sigh, "It's a pity that such a force that can fight has all been fought out, Xu Shijiu, this guy is really willing, he is really willing." ”

Huang Baitao also put down his binoculars and said in a deep voice: "The Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has run out, it will be our turn to be the first army, Brother Shizhang, it is also the national army, I don't want the 40th Division to lose to the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, in a word, even if it is death, you must not let this little Japan in front of you step on the defense line of your division"

Huang Baitao also made the performance of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arouse blood, and at the same time, he also wanted to try his recent army consolidation effect here, to see if the combat effectiveness of the 40th Division had been qualitatively improved, from the bottom of his heart, Huang Baitao did not want to lose to Xu 19, let alone think that the First Army must be inferior to the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army

"Yes" Chen Shizhang snapped upright and responded sharply, "Even if you die, you will never let this little Japanese in front of you step on the defense line of our 40th Division."
