Volume 1: Battle of Songhu Chapter 56 Bloody Battle of Dingjia Lane

The old devil of Oshima took in this extremely tragic scene through the telescope, and saw that several Japanese soldiers of Zuihou who were trapped and fighting were also annihilated by the Chinese, and the old devil was finally completely enraged, slammed the telescope to the ground, and peeled off the regular uniform of the young army on his body twice, revealing a straight white shirt.

Then, the old devil of Oshima turned out a side to wipe his forehead and tied it to his head, and the word "kamikaze" was embroidered on his forehead, and the deputy captain Inushiro was anxious when he saw it, and the captain was going to personally lead the death squad to charge to the death! stepped forward and persuaded at the moment: "Captain, you are the commander, not the captain of the daredevil, you can't ......"

"Get out of here!" The old devil of Oshima pushed the skinny little Inushiro to the ground, pulled out his saber sonorously, turned his head and roared angrily at the few stunned squadron leaders behind him, "Gather all the soldiers who can fight, rush over in one go, kill all the people on the opposite side, kill them, kill them all......"

The old devil on Oshima seems to be arrogant, but he is actually very clear-headed.

If time permits, he is of course willing to launch an offensive according to the standard offensive mode, artillery bombardment, infantry charge, infantry charge after artillery charges, artillery bombardment after infantry charge, and so on and so forth, until the ammunition and strength of the national army are exhausted, and then the troops break through the Sijing defense line without bloodshed.

However, the problem is that the old devil of Oshima is running out of time.

Nearly 40 hours have passed since the 3rd Division landed at Zhang Huabin in the early hours of yesterday morning, and such a long time is enough for the top level of the Nationalist Army to make tactical adjustments, and reinforcements from the Nationalist Army may arrive at any time, so every minute of delay will make it less likely to break through the Sijing defensive line.

In fact, the worries of the old devils on Oshima were not unreasonable, and although the 2nd Regiment of the Teaching Corps, which had been reinforced from Yangshupu, had suffered heavy losses, nearly 2,000 people had rushed to the customs wharf, and a battalion of the 87th Division was also rushing in the direction of Xincheng District, and it would be possible to reach Dingjiaxiang in another hour at most.

##########

Although the Japanese troops who broke into the position were completely annihilated, the Chinese soldiers and civilians also paid an extremely heavy price, and the courage of blood and courage could not make up for the huge gap between the two sides in physical fitness and assassination skills after all, and the battle loss ratio between the enemy and us reached almost five to one, and after the white-knuckle battle, only more than 300 people could still struggle to stand up, less than one-fifth of the original.

The recruit company that rushed to the front also suffered heavy casualties, more than 100 people still have more than a dozen Liao Liao left, and most of them are veterans, almost all the recruits who were added to the 19th brigade last time were killed, the war is so cruel, the Japanese will not show mercy because you are a recruit, on the battlefield, the fastest death is always a recruit.

Yin Shangwen looked at the corpses all over the ground, smelling a strong smell of blood in his nose, and finally couldn't suppress the disgust churning in his chest, he fell to the ground and vomited, many survivors also fell to the ground and retched, Shu Tongwen was indifferent to this, although the scene in front of him was tragic, it could not be compared with the Nanyuan military camp more than a month ago.

Xu 19, Gao Shenxing, and Ergua didn't even have time to sigh, they were busy collecting guns and ammunition for the fallen Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese troops on the opposite side did not immediately retaliate after the offensive was frustrated, which was obviously abnormal, and Xu 19 had a hunch that the Japanese army was likely to be desperate next.

Xu Shijiu's intuition has always been very accurate, and this time is no exception.

As soon as the three branches and three eight big covers were filled, Ergua shouted: "Captain, look! ”

Including Xu Shijiu, including Gao Shenxing, including all the veterans, all the people who heard Ergua's shouting looked up, only to see a group of Japanese soldiers already lined up from the pontoon bridge in a neat queue, and at the front of the queue was a Japanese officer, who was not wearing a military uniform, and his shirt was also exposed, revealing a piece of black chest hair.

Gao Shenxing knelt on one knee, aimed at the Japanese officer and fired two shots, but unfortunately missed, the bullet hit the Japanese officer's feet and raised two clouds of smoke and dust, the distance of a thousand meters was still a little far, but the Japanese officer did not even blink an eyelid, still strode forward with a saber, behind him, more and more Japanese soldiers drove from the pontoon bridge.

Look at this jiashi, to say the least, there are four or five hundred Japanese soldiers, almost three squadrons!

Without machine guns, it was a dream to rely only on rifles and grenades to block the Japanese group's charge in open terrain!

Looking back at the scattered soldiers and civilians behind him, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but feel gloomy, it seemed that he was really going to confess here today, and then turned back to Shu Tongwen and said: "Shu Tongwen, you will take the militia team and the people's team to retreat to Yinhang Town." "It's impossible to hold Dingjia Lane, the soldiers can't retreat, but the people don't have to sacrifice senselessly.

"Captain, I'm not leaving!" Shu Tongwen looked at Xu Nineteen calmly, as calm as if he was chatting, and said, "Although I have only joined the Nineteenth Brigade for a few hours, I also know that the Nineteenth Brigade is a hard-headed brigade, and since the day the Nineteenth Brigade was established, there has never been a coward who flinched from battle!" ”

"Yes, we don't go, we're not afraid of death!"

"The little devil wants to enter Yin Xing, unless he steps on me!"

"We have to let little Japan know that we Chinese are by no means easy to bully!"

The more than 300 people who survived Zuihou were also enthusiastic and echoed loudly.

Xu Jiujiu suddenly smiled, he remembered himself ten years ago, ten years ago, the old 3rd Company was surrounded by the Beiyang Army ten times his own on a hill outside Nanchang City, and the old commander Huang Hanting also asked him to lead the recruits to break through, but he refused without hesitation, and even the reason for refusal at that time was the same as the current Shu Tongwen.

"Okay, then you can stay." Xu Shijiu patted Shu Tongwen's shoulder, then turned around and shouted, "Ergua, give the grenades and grenades to the brothers, one for each person!" ”

The few remaining boxes of grenades were quickly distributed.

Xu Shijiu didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood what he meant, this grenade was kept for Zuihou to use all the time, and asked how to pull the string, so they untied their belts and tied the grenade to their waists.

There were no bold words before dying, and everyone silently waited for the arrival of the zuihou moment.

The Japanese army soon approached within 500 meters, with superb marksmanship, Gao Shenxing had shot more than a dozen Japanese soldiers, but unfortunately he was never able to shoot the Japanese officer, because there would always be Japanese soldiers in front of him, Gao Shenxing killed one, and immediately added another one, which was obviously an adjutant!

At 400 meters, the support fire of the two flanks of the Japanese army began to fire fiercely, and light and heavy machine gun bullets poured like water, and the Chinese soldiers and civilians were crushed in the trenches full of stagnant water, unable to raise their heads, and from time to time grenades from grenadiers fell into the trenches, exploding a splash in the sky and lifting Chinese soldiers and civilians into the air one by one.

At two hundred meters, more than a dozen veterans began to fire back with rifles, but the Japanese army's skirmisher line was very open, and they were also doing various tactical evasion actions, so the hit rate was not high, Gao Shenxing and Xu Shijiu did not miss the gun, but the two were soon chased by the Japanese army's support fire, and it was not easy to find a gap to shoot.

At 100 meters, the Japanese army pulled the bolt to withdraw the bullet from the chamber, the Japanese army had a strict infantry discipline, and the bullet must be withdrawn before the white-knuckle battle, some said that this was to show the will to die, to mentally overwhelm the enemy, and it was also said that this was because the penetration of the 38 cover was too strong, and the bullet could avoid accidentally injuring their own people.

At fifty meters, the Japanese soldiers straightened their waists one by one and began Zuihou's sprint!

The footsteps of the Japanese army sprinting were already clearly audible, and Xu Shijiu turned around and told Ergua and Shu Tongwen behind him: "Later, you two will follow me, don't run away." Xu Shijiu knew very well that this was almost a white-knuckle battle to the death, but he still wanted to do his best to protect Ergua and Shu Tongwen, just as Huang Hanting protected him ten years ago.

At the age of twenty, Xu Shijiu jumped up from the trench suddenly, holding a box cannon in his left hand and a bayonet in his right hand, roaring towards the surging tide of Japanese soldiers in front, and in the next moment, Gao Shenxing and more than a dozen veterans also jumped out of the trench with bayonets, and then more than 300 militiamen and people who survived the battle.

Liu Zhesheng, a pilot of the Nationalist Army who had just returned from Wusongkou, witnessed this tragic scene with his own eyes.

Years later, Liu Zhesheng, who had fled Taiwan to sell ice cream for a living, can still vividly recall the tragic scene he saw from the sky.

"It's really hard to put into words."

"More than a dozen national troops, leading hundreds of ordinary people and hundreds of Japanese soldiers to fight bayonets, where can they fight."

"I can't fight at all, and many ordinary people fall under the bayonets of the Japanese in one face, and they can't fight."

"But those ordinary people are really bloody, and none of them escaped until they fought to Zuihou, and they were all red-eyed."

"I was hovering in the sky with a few colleagues, trying to help but couldn't, and an officer in the uniform of the Security Corps spotted us, waved to us desperately, and asked for a shot, and I gave the order to shoot indiscriminately with tears in my eyes...... By the time reinforcements arrived, there were few people left on the ground. ”

Speaking of this, the veteran who was already in his prime-old years burst into tears.

At that time, he was the colonel of the 517th Regiment of the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division of the National Army, and later led his troops to revolt in Jiuquan, Gansu, and General Liu Mantian, who also witnessed this tragic scene, and wrote in his memoirs.

"When I arrived at Dingjiaxiang with the 1st Battalion, the Air Force had just withdrawn."

"The large cotton fields in the north of the village have almost become a sea of blood, and there are corpses everywhere, there are the Central Army wearing gray cloth uniforms, the security regiments with black cloth uniforms, and the Japanese devils wearing yellow cloth uniforms, but there are more ordinary people wearing all kinds of clothes, and there are too many to count."

"The battle is not over, and the enemy and our armies are still fighting to the death."

"There are still thirty or forty devils left, and there are more than a dozen of them on our side, and they are fighting in several piles."

"There was a student in a dress who was blocked in the middle by two Japanese soldiers, and he was stabbed seven or eight times in a row, one of which pierced his heart, but he still pulled a grenade before he breathed."

"A citizen took a big firewood knife and cut down two Japanese soldiers in a row, but he was disemboweled by a devil officer."

"There was a soldier wearing a grass-green military uniform, who looked like he was from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, he was surrounded by three Japanese soldiers in the middle, but in the blink of an eye, he overturned two, and the remaining Japanese soldier turned around and fled, and he chased after him and wiped his neck, and the short sword he used seemed to be a Zhongzheng sword, and the soldier was really fierce."

"And Xu Han's soul, covered in blood, like a bloody man, I almost didn't recognize him."

"I have participated in hundreds of battles in my life, including many vicious battles and hard battles, but only two battles left the deepest impression on me, one was the bloody battle in Temple Lane, and the other was Dingjia Lane."
