CHAPTER 1 4

After receiving the order to attack, the commander of the 3rd Wing, Naonami Yamada, observed the offensive characteristics of the Guanghuamen defenders through a telescope, and this unit had reached the realm of perfection in terms of tacit understanding in tactical adjustment, even in the face of the firepower suppressed by the officer death squad with heavy firearms and high morale, the Chinese defenders still knew how to counteract through clusters*, which eventually led to the fact that all the more than 50 members of the officer death squad were shattered, and none of them were spared, and the combat command ability of its commander can be seen.

On the battlefield, they are afraid of such an enemy, and as the division commander, Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, said, it is this short attack distance of less than 150 meters that has become a line of death that even the officer death squad cannot cross. Yamada Naonami didn't know where the courage came from, and at this time, he actually sprouted a provocative psychology of launching a close-quarters stab against the Chinese defenders. Since the Guanghuamen defenders are good at fighting positional and defensive battles with the cooperation of light and heavy machine guns and clusters*, I wonder if they dare to engage in white-knuckle combat with the samurai of the imperial army?

Naonami Yamada's aggressive mentality prompted him to give orders for his troops to engage in white-knuckle combat shortly after the battle began, and for the besieging Japanese army, which had 200,000 horses, a white-knuckle battle was not of much importance. However, for the Chinese defenders, who numbered less than 150,000 men and were mostly poorly equipped, it was not a wise choice to cross the trenches in advance and meet the enemy's bayonets until they ran out of ammunition and food, were cornered, and needed to make a desperate bet. He was eager to test the courage and audacity of the Chinese defenders on the other side.

The defenders of Gwanghwamun seemed to see the motives of the Japanese army, because the first echelon of the Japanese attack in the opposite fortification had all stopped attacking. Through the binoculars, it is not difficult to find that the Japanese soldiers in the trenches are crowded, and they are taking off all the equipment they are wearing, leaving only one of the most basic "38" rifles in their hands, and the lower end of the muzzle is also equipped with a bright bayonet, and it seems that they are ready to enter the white-knuckle combat at any time......

Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion stationed on the right flank of the city gate, also found the clue, and he roared to Yang Longfei, the commander of the regiment in the direction of the left flank, and shouted: "Tuanza, the devil's gunfire has stopped, look at this posture is to fight with us with bayonets, how about Tuanza, do you want to do it with them?" ”

Yang Longfei was busy leaning his back behind the cover, slowly groping out a very wrinkled cigarette box from the pocket of his military uniform, he first took out a cigarette and put it on his right ear, then took out another one and bit it in his mouth, and found a burning wooden stick nearby to light the cigarette butt. After hearing the shouts of the first battalion commander Xie Dacheng, he turned sharply and lay down behind the bunker, observing the movements of the Japanese army with a telescope.

Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, asked from the side: "Damn, how old is this, the little devil is in a hurry?" Also, two group charges in a row called us back, and they all remembered to fight with us with bayonets! How to sit in a group, give an attitude, or not do it with them? ”

After Yang Longfei put down the binoculars, he took a few puffs of cigarette fiercely, and he scolded with a smile after his lips: "a fart, where is this, the devil can't bear it for less than half an hour after the battle starts?" No, if they want to fight bayonets, they will fight bayonets, isn't that too much for them? Pass my order, ignore them, as long as the devil jumps out of the trench, he will put Lao Tzu close to fight, and knock down one by one! When the ammunition runs out, rush up and meet the devil's bayonet! ”

"Yes, the guard platoon, listen to my orders, prepare the machine gun, put the devil closer and then ......"

All the Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Wing were ready for a white-knuckle battle, and they stepped out of the trenches one after another, waiting for the order to attack......

The commander of the 3rd Wing, Naonami Yamada, who was outside the telescope, was puzzled by this, what tricks were the Chinese army on the other side doing? The soldiers of the Imperial Army are ready for hand-to-hand combat, but they don't have the slightest expression or response, could it be that they don't want to engage in hand-to-hand combat with us? Yamada Osa was a little confused for a while. The things that this Chinese defender did were always unbelievable and elusive.

"Report to Your Excellency the Wing Commander, Sakata Nakasa said that he is ready for all battles, and he will personally lead all the soldiers of the brigade to start a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, waiting for the order of the Wing Commander at any time, and they will immediately enter the battle!" A Japanese soldier came to report.

"No, tell Sakata Nakasa, let him withdraw his troops to the fortifications first, until now I am not sure whether the Chinese defenders on the opposite side will fight, if we rush out, the result is a group of enemies who are completely unwilling to abide by the rules of white-knuckle combat, we will suffer a big loss......" Yamada Osa waved his hand.

"Then I'm going to inform Sakata Nakasa now, and ask him to immediately withdraw the third brigade to the fortifications?"

Yamada Osa nodded silently and said: "To integrate the Sakata Brigade into the commando sequence, if necessary, we still need to let the enemy understand the stabbing technique of the Imperial Japanese Army......"

Qian Liyuan, who was hidden behind the sandbag fortifications, noticed through the telescope that the Japanese troops were retreating to the fortifications one after another, and he shouted: "It's not good, Tuanza, the devils have withdrawn again......

Yang Longfei snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it on the ground, and then picked up the "Browning" pistol he was carrying from the side, and roared angrily: "No matter, let's fight first!" ”

Before Yang Longfei could finish speaking, the soldiers who were also hiding behind the bunker immediately took the order to open fire, and a dense fire network composed of more than ten light and heavy machine guns spewed angry tongues of fire at the Japanese bunker......

Under the attack of the rain of bullets, the officers and men of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had not yet completely withdrawn into the fortifications, fell one after another from the fortifications they were about to step into, just like wheat cut by a sickle during the autumn harvest, and the 3rd Brigade suffered many casualties.

Yamada Naonan Dazuo slammed down the telescope in his hand, his teeth squeaked, and he was now ruthless as if he wanted to tear Yang Longfei to pieces. If he was really given this opportunity and let Yang Longfei stand by his side, he would definitely use the saber he carried on his waist to split him into several pieces. In Yamada Daisa's view, Yang Longfei and others are simply a group of scoundrels who completely do not abide by the rules of war, and even order to open fire while the Japanese soldiers have not completely withdrawn into the fortifications, this kind of practice of taking advantage of the danger of others is simply shameful!

"Order the artillery brigade, mark the artillery fire Zhuyuan, the target is the defensive position of the defenders of Guanghuamen, and the bombardment duration is ten minutes, during this period, even the ants on the ground cannot leave a single living mouth!" Yamada Daisa smashed his fist on the ammunition box piled up in front of him, and at this point, he could only use the heavy artillery fire to destroy the morale and vitality of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side.

The Japanese flag soldiers, who were responsible for directing the artillery to open fire, ran to a commanding height, waved a red flag in their hands, and swayed from side to side......

The sharp-eyed warrior felt a little puzzled, what is the devil doing? What are you standing on the hillside with a broken flag?

Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, scratched his brain, bared his teeth and asked, "Tuanzuo, what kind of moth do the devils make?" It's not like a flag soldier......"

"No matter what kind of moth he makes, he should die if he shows his head, bring a rifle, I'll kill him first......" Yang Longfei said and took a "Zhongzheng" rifle from a soldier next to him, and just stretched the muzzle out of the fortifications before the crosshairs were calibrated and pulled the trigger......

"Horn!" Almost at the same time as the bullet was discharged, the flag soldier who was responsible for conveying the shooting order on the Japanese artillery position also slashed down the red flag in his hand like a kitchen knife......

"Be careful......" The second battalion commander was quick-eyed, when he heard the kind of breaking sound made by the cannonball cutting through the air, he blocked in front of Yang Longfei at the fastest speed, and the cannonball landed less than five meters away from them, and the air wave set off after the explosion overturned everyone around him into the moat behind him, Yang Longfei and Qian Liyuan were also thrown into the moat that had already dried up, and the shock that was difficult to suppress for a while forced them to enter a temporary coma......

Heavy artillery fire continues...... The fortifications of the 25th Regiment, which took three hours to build, turned into a sea of fire, and blood and flesh flew inside and outside the trenches, and countless officers and men were killed and wounded.

The officers and men of the defenders who were in charge of the defense of the tower immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese and immediately telegraphed the approximate casualties of the 25th Regiment to the garrison headquarters. Commander Tang Shengzhi gave an order, and the artillery regiment directly under the command stationed in the area of Yuhuatai was ordered to open fire, and hundreds of shells burst out and then crossed the sky, leaving behind a staggered white trajectory, and the Japanese defensive positions were also baptized unprecedentedly......

Lieutenant General Yoshizumi Ryosuke, commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, waved his hand, and the field artillery wing under the direct jurisdiction of the division and regiment was not to be outdone, and mobilized more powerful artillery fire to launch a fierce artillery game with the Chinese artillery in Yuhuatai. Under the suppression of the fierce artillery fire from both sides, the consciousness of Yang Longfei and others is slowly recovering......

Yang Longfei covered his forehead, which was cut by shrapnel and bled continuously, grinning with great pain, the straight military uniform before the war had been blown into strips, and it was almost a flower dress, and even the colonel's collar badge he wore on both sides of his collar didn't know where to go, and the whole person looked extremely embarrassed.

"Damn, I almost didn't kill Lao Tzu......"

Qian Liyuan, the commander of the second battalion, who had basically regained consciousness behind him, limped to Yang Longfei's side: "Tuanzao, is there something wrong?" ”

"Damn, I don't know what to do, according to Lao Tzu's brain, I don't feel anything other than a little dizzy......" Yang Longfei scolded.

"You're scared me to death, I'm so scared of you...... Forget it, it's okay, in this way, Adjutant Zhang and I will command the battle, you withdraw and rest, we will take care of anything! ”

Yang Longfei sneered: ", Lao Tzu didn't plan to go back alive when he came here, and he wanted me to withdraw?" Dream, don't even think about it unless Lao Tzu is dead...... Help Lao Tzu up, Lao Tzu still has to command the battle......"

"Tuanzao, don't hold it up, both sides have begun to get artillery up to bombard at this time, our fortifications have been destroyed, the city walls will definitely not be able to hold on, quickly order the troops to withdraw into the city!" Zhang Shan, the adjutant of the regiment, also hobbled to Yang Longfei's side from the other side of the moat to dissuade him.

"Fart, even if you die today, Lao Tzu will not withdraw, what are you afraid of if the fortifications are destroyed, if the fortifications are destroyed, Lao Tzu will fight with the little devil with bayonets, what about Lao Tzu's knife? Where did Lao Tzu's knife go? My knife ......" Yang Longfei pushed away everyone and roared, but he didn't know that at this time, his head had been hit hard by the enemy, and the remaining * on the shrapnel that cut his head had penetrated into his skin along the wound, Yang Longfei only felt a fainting, and then endless darkness surged towards him...... Yang Longfei's whole person fell suddenly like a door panel. A second before he fell, he was still thinking: Damn, this time he was completely reimbursed......
