Volume 1: The Battle of Songhu Chapter 34 Little Japan is almost unbearable

Li Shouqing wiped the gunpowder smoke on his face with his sleeve, and said with a bitter face: "Tuanza, the firepower of the little Japan is not good, but they fight the bayonets too hard, and they organized several groups of death squads before and after the humiliation, but they were all pushed back by the little Japanese with bayonets, and the terrain here is not right, which is not conducive to our firepower advantage." ”

"Don't tell me it's useless." Li Songhuo said, "I only ask you, is the 3rd battalion okay or not?" If it doesn't work, change people."

Where can Li Shouqing stand this, he took off the military hat on his head and slammed it on the ground, stalked his neck and yelled: "Tuanza, you just look at it, if I don't defeat Little Japan this time, I, Li Shouqing, will never come back alive to see you" After that, Li Shouqing turned his head and yelled around, "Brothers, rush with Lao Tzu"

Li Shouqing roared, and more than 200 people appeared in the ruins in an instant, many of them still had gauze wrapped around their heads and arms, and blood was still oozing from the gauze scarves, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were all here.

Seeing that the battalion commanders were all on board, the remaining 200 officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion were red-eyed at once, and they also followed with bayonets and screaming, and the figure of a small Japanese appeared in the ruins in front of them, and then there were sporadic gunshots, all of which were the sound of 38 big covers, and there was almost no sound of crooked handles or Type 92 heavy machine guns, and little Japan was indeed running out of bullets.

Li Shouqing rushed forward with a machine gun, a magazine could be finished, and suddenly a small Japanese jumped out from behind the broken wall in front of him, and rushed up silently with a bayonet, Li Shouqing had no time to change the magazine, and immediately roared and reversed the machine gun and smashed it towards the head of the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldier didn't dodge, but just turned his head to the side slightly, and the bayonet in his hand was still stabbing at Li Shouqing's heart.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and Li Shouqing's machine gun had already smashed right on the head of the Japanese soldier, only to hear a loud bang, the Japanese soldier's steel helmet was smashed into a large dent, and the whole person's eyes bulged out suddenly, and his mouth subconsciously let out an extremely miserable scream, but his bayonet also pierced Li Shouqing's heart

Li Shouqing's sturdy body trembled suddenly, and then froze in place, the whole person's gaze began to become sluggish, and his movements became a little mechanical, when the machine gun in Li Shouqing's hand fell to the ground, and then Li Shouqing slowly lowered his head, and stretched out his hands with difficulty to hold the bayonet inserted into his chest.

The Japanese soldier screamed twice and then became angry, and his body did not fall and leaned against Li Shouqing.

The guards who had rushed to the front finally turned back, and when they saw Li Shouqing with a knife in his mouth, he suddenly wailed like a pig, and when he heard the wailing of the guards, Li Shouqing regained some consciousness slightly, turned his head slowly and mechanically, raised his right hand with difficulty, pointed to the street in front of him, and said word by word: "Leave me alone, rush, kill."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shouqing tilted his head and swallowed a breath.

"Camp, camp" The guard wailed twice, then turned around and rushed forward, shouting hysterically as he rushed forward with a bayonet, "Little Japan, I will join your eighteenth generation of ancestors......"

A Japanese soldier suddenly jumped out of the oblique stab, and a skillful thrust pierced the guard's right chest, although the guard suffered a heavy blow but not fatal, he turned the butt of the rifle and was about to smash the Japanese soldier's head, but unfortunately the Japanese soldier reacted faster, kicked the guard in the chest and kicked him to the ground, and then poked down on the guard's left chest

The guard threw away the rifle, freed his hands and grabbed the Japanese soldier's bayonet, not letting it be stabbed, the two were wrestling, and another Japanese soldier rushed over from the side, according to the guard's heart is a bayonet, the guard let out a soft sigh, and the hands that were holding on finally let go, and the bayonet of the original Japanese soldier also pierced into his heart.

When he was dying, the guard looked up at the entire battlefield and found that the more than 200 brothers who had been charged by the 3rd Battalion had all fallen in a pool of blood, and he was one of them, but Little Japan didn't get any bargains, and the battlefield was also full of Little Japan's corpses, not to mention hundreds.

Little Japan did not bargain for anything, and they also suffered heavy casualties.

Although these non-combatants have received formal training, they are not infantry in the true sense of the word, and they are far from being comparable to infantry in terms of combat experience and fighting will.

From last night to now, the casualties of the national army and the Japanese army are basically one for one.

The deputy commander of the 38th Infantry Wing, Kondo Motodaisa, hurriedly walked into the war room, suddenly retracted his feet, and reported to Nakajima Imasa: "Division commander, the situation is not very good, the two infantry squadrons temporarily formed have suffered casualties, but the Shina Army has only invested one battalion, and there are more Shina Corps outside the city that have not been put into battle

"What's the panic? However, only two improvised squadrons were lost. Nakajima didn't sleep all night, his eyes were already bloodshot, and the whole person looked extremely tired, but he was still calm, and he was quite a general, and the old devil asked Misawa Yoshio again, "Misawa-san, how far is the army of Kawa-san from Fengxian?" ”

Yoshio Misawa said without thinking: "Division commander, the troops of Suchuan Sang are still ten kilometers away from Feng County. ”

Nakajima Imago frowned, Sukegawa Shizuzo's infantry brigade only traveled more than ten miles in one night, and it is estimated that it is also in big trouble, the Chinese army seems to be really prepared this time, and after a moment of silence, Nakajima Imago said again: "Organize the medical team, communication team, and medical staff from the field hospital to participate in the battle." ”

Kondo Moto said again: "Division commander, we don't have much ammunition reserves. ”

"It doesn't matter." Nakajima waved his hand nonchalantly, this old devil is really cold-blooded, for him, the officers and soldiers under his command are not all living lives, just cold numbers, and said, "When the bullets run out, let the imperial warriors fight with the Chinese army." ”

Kondo had no choice but to take the order.

Yoshio Misawa was a little unbearable, this little devil had never participated in the Russo-Japanese War, and he had never experienced the tragedy of the Japanese army filling it with human lives in order to seize the Lushun Fortress, so he was not as cold-blooded as the old devil in Nakajima, and said at the moment: "Division commander, the Zhina Army outside Fengxian County still doesn't know how many troops, and it is not a way to carry forward the white-knuckle battle after all, so do you order the 33rd Infantry Wing to return to the division from Peixian?" Or did Yu Crisp transfer the grassland detachment back from Dangshan? ”

Although Nakajima Jinchao disregards the lives of others, he cherishes his own life very much, and the current situation in Fengxian is indeed not very optimistic, and he said at the moment: "The grassland detachment needs to cooperate with the 13th Division to cut off the retreat of the main force group of the Xuzhou Zhina Army, and it cannot be easily mobilized, so it is better to transfer the 33rd Infantry Wing back from Peixian first."

After a while, Nakajima Imago instructed Yoshio Misawa again: "Misawa-san, call Sukegawa Shizuzo again, and ask him to get rid of the Shina army as soon as possible and return to Fengxian County."

When Sukegawa Shizuzo was feeling anxious, the communications soldier suddenly ran to report: "Wing Commander, Chief of Staff calls." ”

After taking over the walkie-talkie from the communication soldier, Yoshio Misawa's slightly anxious voice came from the receiver: "Zhuchuan Sang, the situation in Feng County is very bad, please be sure to return to defense in time, please be sure to return to defense in time." ”

Putting down the steps, Sukegawa Shizuzo was in a heavy mood, he wanted to return to the defense in time, the question is, is it possible?

After Sukegawa Shizuzo gave the order to retreat last night, the national army on the opposite side immediately rushed up like maggots attached to the bones, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army from all directions as a team, but as soon as the Japanese army stopped and pulled away and prepared to fight back, the national army immediately retreated far away, and then fired sporadically with mortars.

Seeing that he could not get rid of the national army, Sukegawa Shizuzo was also ruthless and ordered an infantry squad to launch a counterattack, but the infantry squad was soon ambushed by the national army, and a national army with extremely strong combat effectiveness did not know where to get out of it, and launched a tragic white-knuckle battle with the counterattacking infantry squad, and the result was extremely surprising, and the attacking squad was wiped out

In this way, the stop-and-go and stop-and-go and the national army spent a whole night, but the casualties were not large, but the ammunition carried by the army was almost consumed, especially the four Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squadron, there were only 20 shells left, and even a decent artillery preparation could not be done.

There were also four Type 92 heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron, and there was also very little ammunition left.

Sukegawa Shizuzo is in a dilemma, should he continue to move slowly as he is now, or should he throw away all his baggage and military needs and retreat to Fengxian at full speed?

Sukegawa Shizuzo was still hesitating there, but Xu Shijiu had already found an opportunity.

Shu Tongwen personally led a squad of the 3rd Company to launch another tentative attack on the Japanese army, but this time the crooked handles and pheasant necks on the small Japanese position did not make a sound.

Even though the little Japanese were so pressed by the only Czech light machine gun in this squad that they couldn't lift their heads, they always only used the 38 big cover to fight back, until the platoon of the 3rd Company approached within 50 meters of the Japanese position, and the little Japanese infantry launched a white-knuckle counterattack, and the crooked handle and pheasant neck on the position never fired.

"Little Japan is running out of bullets, they will almost be unable to withstand it" Xu Jiujiu smelled a strange smell at once, and immediately waved his fist viciously, turned his head and yelled at the black blind man, "Pass my order, the second company, the third company and the artillery company, let me go, and the first company will step up to rest and recuperate, recover physical strength and prepare for white-knuckle combat."

The offensive of the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 19th Brigade immediately became fierce, and they originally only carried out feints in squads, but now they began to launch a strong attack on the Japanese troops in platoons.

There were also seven mortars of the artillery battery, which also began to violently shell the positions of the little Japanese.

After a night of live firing, the shooting level of the recruits of the artillery company has not necessarily improved much, but the psychological quality has really improved a lot, and the whole process of manipulating the artillery, loading, test firing, and fine-tuning is quite like that.

There are a few savvy recruits who have even learned to measure the distance with their thumbs, of course, the accuracy is absolutely miserable, the ranging error can exceed 100 meters within 500 meters, if you set the shooting distance according to their measurements, the shells will fall on your own heads, but anyway, the artillery company is finally a bit like an artillery company.

"The wind speed is four meters, the distance is eight hundred meters, and the shooting boundary is six scales to the left." The calf grabbed a handful of sand and threw it into the air, visually measuring the offset distance of the sand and dust, then stretched out his right hand and gave a thumbs up, first closed his left eye and then his right eye at the Japanese position in front, Zuihou estimated a distance and reported it to the gunner next to him.

The gunner set up according to the calf's shooting yuan, and the calf picked up a cannonball and stuffed it into the barrel mouth, and then as soon as he let go of his hands, the cannonball slid into the barrel, and then the firing pin fired the primer, and after a short delay, only a tom was heard, and a cannonball was already dragging and whistling towards the Japanese position with a piercing scream

When the calf and the other two recruits in the same group looked back, the shells just landed on the small Japanese position and exploded, and several Japanese soldiers were completely swallowed up by the smoke and dust produced by the explosion.

"I hit, I hit," the calf was overjoyed, dancing and shouting.

When the calf and the two recruits in the same group were overjoyed, Hu Jie's voice came from not far away: "What are you yelling, what are you yelling about?" After a night of artillery fighting, dozens of shells were wasted, and only now did the hair hit, and you still have the face to bark there? Back then, the first time I went to the battlefield, a shell fell on the machine gun position of the Beiyang Army. ”

Hu Jie really didn't tell a lie, the first time he went to the battlefield, he really hit the machine gun position of the Beiyang Army with a shell, but this shell was not fired out with a mortar, but was thrown out by him as a grenade, and the result was extremely coincidental, when the shell fell to the ground, it was fired by a stone and fired the primer.

Of course, Hu Jie would never tell these recruits the truth.

As he spoke, Hu Jie squatted down beside the calf, and then pointed to the Japanese tent in the distance in front of him and said to the calf: "Do you see the tent in the little Japan in front?" I can kill him with just two shells."

The calf and the dozen or so recruits who came up shook their heads one after another, expressing their disbelief, these recruits have only been in the artillery of the 19th Brigade Artillery Company for less than half a year since they joined the army, and today is the first time that their artillery company has participated in actual combat, and naturally they have not seen Hu Jie's majesty on the battlefield with their own eyes, but they have heard the veterans say it, but what they have heard is false, and what they see is believing, isn't it?

The calf even visually measured the distance, the tent that Hu Jie pointed to was at least two thousand meters away, which was almost the limit range of a mm caliber mortar, and at such a long distance, the shooting accuracy could not be guaranteed at all, not to mention two shells, even ten shells might not be able to hit.

"Don't believe it, do you?" Hu Jie smiled, "Look carefully. ”

Hu Jie straightened his right hand forward, closed his left eye and then closed his right eye to the Japanese tent at least two thousand meters ahead, and then drew a distance based on experience, zuihou took out a small ball of cotton wool from his pocket and threw it into the air, judging the wind speed from the offset distance of the cotton wool, zuihou said: "Wind speed meters, distance UU meters"

Then Hu Jie personally operated the cannon, locked and shot Zhu Yuan, stuffed a cannonball into the barrel, after a short delay, only to hear a tom cannonball has been shot out, the calf and a dozen recruits have stretched their necks to look forward, for more than 20 seconds, a cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose from the position of small Japan in front, but there was still at least 50 meters away from the target.

The calf and a dozen recruits turned around, only to see that Hu Jie was already adjusting the angle of fire slightly, and after a while, the angle of fire was adjusted, and another shell was stuffed into the barrel by Hu Jie, and then it roared forward with a tom, and then more than 20 seconds later, a cloud of smoke and dust rose again from the small Japanese position, this time hitting the target

By the time the smoke cleared, the tent had disappeared from view.

"Hit, hit" The calf jumped up at once, even more excited than he had just hit the target.

When the other dozen recruits looked at Hu Jie again, their eyes already showed undisguised admiration, and they didn't say it, the company commander was really good at fighting artillery.
