Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 98 The Brave Wins
When the explosion sounded, Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, was on the phone with Huang Wei, commander of the 67th Division, who was in the 19th Army's retreat sequence, and had just withdrawn from the Bazi Bridge in the urban area.
Huang Wei also heard the explosion on the other end of the phone, and asked urgently: "Boss, what's going on?!" ”
Xue Yue heard the explosions outside the headquarters becoming more and more frequent, and even heard dense gunshots, only said into the microphone that the situation was not good and hung up, at this time, the anti-Japanese war god who fought like a god in Wanjialing and Changsha in the future did not know that he had been targeted, and he was almost captured alive by the Japanese.
The guard battalion commander hurriedly walked in, and Xue Yue asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, but there is a mutiny of the rebels, and you must leave immediately." The commander of the guard battalion did not know what was going on outside, but it was a fact that the rebel army had already launched a scatter line and was approaching the headquarters from several directions, and the headquarters was empty at the moment, and the commander-in-chief must be protected to leave immediately.
"What do you say, you don't know?!" Xue Yue's face darkened suddenly.
Xue Yue is undoubtedly the kind of ruthless soldier, not only harsh to the enemy, strict with himself, but also strict with his subordinates, otherwise he would not have chased the Red Army for 23,000 miles back then, driving Zhu Mao all the way from Jiangxi to the northwest.
Resisting the urge to shoot the commander of the guard battalion, Xue Yue strode out of the headquarters.
However, as soon as he walked out of the command headquarters, Xue Yue knew that he had wronged his subordinates, and the situation outside was indeed very chaotic, and it was so chaotic that it was not the same, although the north and south ends of the Anting Bridge had been shrouded in gunsmoke, and the soldiers on the bridge were also desperately squeezing out, but the soldiers under the bridge were still desperately squeezing up, trying to cross the bridge first.
Weishenme wants to cross the bridge first? Because a bridge separates you from each other, you can make the difference between life and death!
Staying on the south bank of the Wusong River, how can people's two legs not run the wheels of the car of Little Japan, Zuihou will definitely be caught up by Little Japan, it is a dead end, but if you cross the Anting Bridge, then you have the opportunity to take the train, even if there is no train to sit, when the time comes to blow up the bridge, Little Japan will not be able to catch up in a short time, and there will be a chance to escape.
The people on the bridge want to go down, and the people under the bridge want to come up, and the whole bridge is crowded.
However, what made Xue Yue feel the most inexplicable was that the rebels who had already launched a straggler line and were forcing towards his headquarters from several directions smoked a cigarette, and one of the rebels had already taken advantage of the chaos to seize the anti-aircraft machine gun position on the north side of the Anting Bridge, and then pressed down the muzzle of the gun.
"Let's go!" The guard battalion commander only had time to push Xue Yue away, and the scorching bullets had already splashed like water, and his broad chest was beaten into a sieve at once, and the strong body of the guard battalion commander was pulled over and over by the bullets of the heavy machine gun, and he finally fell to the ground after swinging back and forth several times.
Xue Yue crawled and hid behind a willow tree, and found that there was a staff officer next to him, and the rest of the entourage were all stacked down, but fortunately, the guard battalion not far away had been alarmed, and soldiers kept rushing out with rifles, but Xue Yue's heart quickly sank again, and he suddenly remembered that there was less than one platoon of troops left in the guard battalion.
"Hey, you guys, hurry up and drive the car with the main seat, quick!" The only staff officer who was alive yelled at the guards who rushed out first, and the guards quickly turned back and moved away the straw piled up in the corner of the yard, and a small car was hidden underneath.
However, as soon as the car drove out of the gate, it was immediately subjected to heavy strafing, dozens of bullet holes were punched in the front windshield, hood and side doors, the left tire was punctured, the guards driving the car were also killed on the spot, and the remaining guards were also blocked in the barracks, and they could not even get out of the gate.
At this moment, the rebels who were approaching from several directions had already approached within fifty meters.
At this time, Xue Yue finally found out that something was wrong, the chaotic soldiers who were forced from different directions, whether it was the alternating cover between individual soldiers, or the hierarchical advancement of each group, were all very orderly, and all kinds of tactical actions were also extremely skillful, and there was no way to find such an elite force in the national army, this was obviously a Japanese army!
"The Japanese, they are Japanese!" Xue Yue came back to his senses and shouted miserably, "I didn't expect that I, Xue Yue, didn't die on the frontal battlefield, but died at the hands of a few small Japanese who came to sneak attack." ”
The only staff officer who was alive was in a hurry, and shouted: "Take off your clothes and swim across the other side!" ”
Xue Yue heard this and quickly took off his military uniform, hat and pants, and then kicked off the cowhide shoes, and then jumped into the cold Wusong River with a fish jump, the staff officer was also very conscientious, and then took off his clothes and pants, and then quickly put on Xue Yue's clothes and pants, and then rushed out with a shout, but he fell down in a few steps.
##########
Let's not talk about Xue Yue's life or death, the bridge guarding troops of Anting Bridge are also in big trouble.
Don't look at the fierce appearance of the troops guarding the bridge, and the noses of the two Makqin heavy machine guns on the barricade are also open, but when some people rush to their positions in a panic, they don't dare to shoot, after all, they are all their own brothers, and everyone has been killing the enemy side by side on the same battlefield for nearly three months, where can they do it?
"Don't come, don't come!"
"Don't hear me, don't come closer!"
"If we get any closer, we'll shoot!"
"We're really shooting, don't come here......"
The officers and soldiers guarding the bridge held their guns, held the grip of Makqin, and shouted and shouted, all of them were so anxious that they were sweating profusely, but where could the officers and soldiers of the national army who had fallen into a state of frenzy manage this? Many of the rebels rushed into the bridge in a panic, and the officers and men guarding the bridge did not dare to really shoot, so they could only kick them with their feet and smash them with the butts of their rifles.
Kicked down a batch, smashed away a group with the butt of the gun, and the killing machine suddenly came!
The third group of rebels rushed up completely different from the first two batches, although there were only more than 20 of these rebels, but all of them were agile, and they didn't say half a nonsense, they directly stabbed with bayonets, and the officers and soldiers guarding the bridge were caught off guard and were stabbed down more than a dozen in an instant, and the remaining officers and soldiers guarding the bridge were already too late when they wanted to shoot again.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and before the remaining officers and soldiers guarding the bridge could react, the group of rebels had already poured into the ring barricade like a tide, and the officers and soldiers guarding the bridge were originally a little hesitant and did not dare to kill them, but the little Japan had no scruples, and they were unprepared, and the situation quickly became one-sided.
Jiro Araki slashed the main artery in the neck of the Nationalist machine gunner with a backhand, and then knocked the Nationalist machine gunner who was already unable to move to the ground, and then quickly grabbed the grip of the Maxim heavy machine gun and pressed the button, the Maxim heavy machine gun roared in an instant, and threw the hot bullets furiously at the chaotic soldiers who tried to approach.
The officers and soldiers guarding the bridge did not dare to kill the killers, and little Japan had no scruples.
"Kojima-san, you take Kono-san and Nakamura-san to blow up the bridge, hurry up!" While holding the Makqin heavy machine gun and firing fiercely, Araki Jiro assigned the mission, and immediately three devil soldiers jumped up from behind the circular barricade and rushed to the cabin twenty meters behind the barricade as fast as possible.
There was a second lieutenant of the National Army in the cabin who looked outside and immediately retracted, and then threw out a grenade from behind the door, and after the explosion, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell to the ground, and the two Japanese soldiers in the back also quickly lay on the ground, raised their guns and fired continuously at the cabin.
The walls of the cabin were smashed to the point of sawdust, and soon it was covered with bullet holes, and after a while, red blood oozed from the gap between the wall and the floor, and the Japanese sentry lying on the ground jumped up and rushed to the cabin again, and at this time a person fell behind the door of the cabin, it was the second lieutenant of the national army.
The second lieutenant of the national army had not yet swallowed his breath, looking at the two Japanese soldiers who had rushed in front of him, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a hint of mockery, one of the Japanese soldiers seemed to realize something, and quickly pulled the other Japanese soldier sideways to fall, but it was too late, only to hear a bang, the cabin together with the second lieutenant of the national army and two Japanese soldiers were all swallowed up by the smoke of gunpowder.
"Yaga Yaru!" Araki Jiro was so angry that he scolded his mother, this time not only made him lose two special combat personnel, but even the detonation device was blown up, and the Japanese army wanted to blow up the Anting Bridge again, not only to find out the two-pole wires connecting the explosive detonator from the ruins, but also to reassemble the detonating device!
The initiating device is actually nothing, it is just a short circuit, the key is the battery, and I don't know if it has been blown up, and if it is damaged, I don't know if there is a backup.
"Takeshita-san, Maeda-san, you guys go over and have a look!"
Araki Jiro looked for two Japanese soldiers again, but at this time, Little Japan had no chance, Xu 19 took more than 100 veterans of the 19th Brigade to kick and smash with the butt of the gun, and finally broke out of the chaos, and saw that Little Japan had already controlled the detonation command, Xu 19 couldn't help but be startled.
If the Anting Bridge is blown up by Little Japan, the consequences will be serious.
Up to now, less than 10 of the 40 or 50 divisions that had previously retreated to the south bank of the Wusong River had withdrawn, and if the Anting Bridge was blown up at this time, the remaining 30 or 40 divisions would not be able to cross the Wusong River, and if they could not cross the Wusong River, they would have to take the countryside roads along the south bank of the Wusong River, and the speed of the march would inevitably be greatly affected.
Xu 19 waved his hand, and more than 100 veterans of the 19th Brigade immediately pulled out a wavy skirmish line, first threw out a row of grenades, and then pounced on the two circular barricades controlled by the Japanese army under the cover of gunsmoke.
However, none of the veterans of the 19th Brigade flinched, and they all knew that this was not the time to be greedy for their lives!
A bullet almost brushed against his cheek, burning the left side of Xu Shijiu's face with a hot pain, but Xu Shijiu ignored it, with two guns in both hands, and yelled at the dozens of artillerymen who were stunned on the opposite side while firing violently: "Artillery brothers opposite, fight devils, it is devils with white towels around their necks, they are devils......"
The dozens of artillerymen were still stunned, but the battalion commander led by him had already reacted, took out the pistol on his waist, and yelled at the dozens of artillerymen under his command while shooting at the circular barricade in front of him: "His mother's ears are deaf, and the white towels around his neck are all devils, kill devils, kill the little devils of the dog day......"
Dozens of artillerymen woke up from a dream, grabbed their rifles and opened fire fiercely in front of them.
At this time, there were still sixteen soldiers left around Araki Jiro, who had to face the frontal onslaught of more than 100 veterans of the 19th Brigade and the flank attack of more than 30 artillerymen, and the situation suddenly became tense, and as time went by, more and more national troops recovered from the chaos and joined the battle, and the battle group left on the south bank was finally unable to parry.
