Two hundred and eighty-seven. The cigarette butt legend
The 400 heroes of the security team successfully bought time for the guard battalion.
A Sugawara Naomasa and a security team successfully interrupted the overall offensive deployment of the Japanese army. Wang Weiyi got what he wanted!
Now, it's the turn of the Guards Battalion to avenge the brethren of the Security Corps!
Japanese planes continued to appear in the sky, bombing Songjiang fiercely, but did not bomb Xiguan, as if the Japanese did not think that this place was worth bombing.
However, the artillery fire of Sugimoto's brigade soon covered Xiguan.
The Guards battalion did not return fire.
Now, the best time has not yet come!
After the artillery fire was prepared, the Japanese appeared in sight
Xiguan waited calmly
"Closer, closer," Wang Weiyi's calm, as calm voice sounded in the ears of the officers.
War is more about equipment, quality, and courage, but sometimes, it is about patience
The Japanese battle group was getting closer
"Mortar - ready - ready - ready to fire!"
When this order was given, the shells that had been ready to fire for a long time let out a sharp whistling and exploded in bursts among the attacking Japanese troops!
Counterattack of the Guards Battalion - Begin!
The Japanese troops, who were suddenly attacked by shells, were killed in an instant, but the shells had no intention of stopping at all, and they were still falling mercilessly!
The sound of explosions sounded, as if mourning music was played for the Japanese army there!
Over here. It's the land of the Chinese - here, not where you should be!
Here, there is a person's name - Wang Weiyi!
When the mortar shells were devastated by the Japanese army. Swiftly, light and heavy firepower erupted at the same time!
That's - the guns of revenge!
The Japanese army would never have imagined that in Xiguan, such fierce fire of the Chinese would be hidden!
The Japanese looked very embarrassed, the machine guns blocked their path, and when the Japanese combat team got closer with great difficulty, they were immediately hit by a double blow of grenades and flamethrowers!
Opposite. What kind of troops!
The captain of the Sugimoto Brigade, Sugimoto Kazushin, quickly came up with an idea:
Wang Weiyi! That Wang Weiyi, who has recently become more and more people in the Japanese army, has begun to know the Tao!
Hell, how did he end up in Xiguan?
In the tens of minutes of the attack, the Japanese army had already suffered more than a hundred casualties. Those fierce artillery fire, machine guns, and grenades have a terrifying lethality for the attacking side!
Obviously, it would be most unwise to continue such an offensive in the face of such a heavily guarded position.
The Japanese troops, who had left the corpses on the ground, withdrew
Officers and men of the Guards battalion who have already achieved several victories. I've gotten used to all this. Instead of cheering and not having too many expressions of excitement, they began to quickly resupply ammunition for the next battle.
The new soldiers of the 43rd Army looked a little surprised.
They joined the battle from the very beginning of the Battle of Shanghai, and there were only about 500 men left. But after so much fighting, it was the first time they had seen such furious firepower.
Where did a small battalion of guards get so much weapons and ammunition?
And most importantly, they still have tanks that are not used
Some soldiers of the 43rd Army had heard of the name of Wang Weiyi, the hero of the Minohe Bridge. Now they finally saw this man with their own eyes and fought with him in person.
Oh, my God. This battle is really hearty!
More than 100 Japanese corpses were left here, but the losses of the Guards battalion were minimal, one soldier was killed and two were wounded.
To be honest, this battle was really blowing.
And the ferocity of the firepower is not the key, the key is the high degree of obedience displayed by all the officers and men of the guard battalion.
Some of the soldiers of the Guards battalion were still very nervous from their expressions when the Japanese approached, and even sweat was running down their foreheads.
But without the order of the commander, they will never shoot!
Obedience – absolute obedience!
There are no conditions to speak of!
Now, the newly joined soldiers of the 43rd Army have also become confident in fighting with Battalion Commander Wang, and they may really be able to beat these devils away
Wang Weiyi's heart is not easy at all.
In the first offensive and defensive battle, the Japanese army did not expect that so much fierce firepower would suddenly emerge from Xiguan, so it suffered a loss, but retaliation will definitely come
Sure enough, the relaunched attack an hour later completely confirmed Wang Weiyi's judgment.
The Japanese began a retaliatory shelling!
The cannonballs shrouded the entire Xiguan, making the earth tremble, however, the position that Wang Weiyi personally commanded and supervised the construction of was immovable under such a baptism of artillery fire!
You have to have your own absolute superior firepower.
Squatting behind the bunker, Wang Weiyi thought there. Now there is no choice but to endure the artillery fire of the Japanese. But the battle can't always be done like this.
Have your own furious firepower!
It's unrealistic to count on Xiao Ling, but where to get new weapon reinforcements? There is a huge wealth in his hands, and more than 500 tons of gold alone is enough to buy countless weapons and ammunition.
However, this equipment is not something that can be bought, and you have to think of a foolproof and proper way to come out
"Major, the enemy is on the offensive!"
Wang Weiyi poked his head out and saw two Japanese tanks appear. As soon as he saw this tank, the corners of Wang Weiyi's mouth suddenly showed a look of disdain.
Type 94 tank!
The main armament is a Type 91 machine gun, which can penetrate its weak armor if it can get close.
The rest of the Chinese army feared it, but in Wang's eyes. There is nothing terrible about such a small bean tank. Even if you are driving an A7V now, you can easily take out a few opponents!
"Niu Zhenliang, it's your turn!"
Vickers driven by Niu Zhenliang. Soon, he quietly aimed his gun at the unmanned Type 94 tank.
He had fought with such tanks when he was in Shanghai, and he had killed one, and he already had experience.
At this time, the Japanese driver in the Type 94 tank would never have thought that he had been targeted by the muzzle of death
Closer, closer
The muzzle of the Vickers tank seemed to show a hideous smile.
Eat me, spit it out for me!
"Who, go tell Niu Zhenliang. I still need to have dinner, don't bother. Wang Weiyi said casually.
Before he finished speaking, there was a "boom" -
The shells landed accurately on the Type 94!
See you again. Type 94!
Type 94 didn't move like a puddle of mud
Another Type 94 was trying to escape, but something even more unexpected happened!
Wang Weiyi finished the last puff of cigarette in his hand, threw the cigarette butt outward, and then suddenly there was a loud bang on the battlefield
The sky-high flames and smoke instantly filled the battlefield. The Type 94, which was about to escape, was completely blown up!
The soldiers who had witnessed it were stunned. Then finally burst into cheers:
"Sir, wise!"
"Sir, mighty! Sir, a cigarette butt is better than a cannonball! ”
"Bullshit, a cigarette butt is better than an artillery regiment, sir!"
"Oh my God, the sir's cigarette butt actually blew up a tank!"
Wang Weiyi was also dumbfounded, and he suddenly rushed in front of Guo Yunfeng:
"Four knives, who told you to press the detonator in advance?"
Guo Yunfeng pointed to the detonator in his hand: "I see that the tank is almost in the explosion range."
Since then, the legend of Wang Weiyi's cigarette butt has spread among the soldiers of Songjiang Xiguan, and then spread more and more widely on the battlefield.
A more concentrated and reliable statement is: at the most critical time when the Battle of Xiguan was carried out. The explosives planted in advance did not detonate at all, and the Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer. The Chinese officers and soldiers on the position were threatened, and at this critical moment, Wang Weiyi threw out the cigarette butt that was still burning in his hand and landed accurately on the planted explosives.
Of course, some people say that Wang Weiyi's cigarette butt was thrown on the fuse
Anyway, the story of Wang Weiyi killing a tank with a cigarette butt began to spread.
How many enemies you have destroyed is not called a legend, but if you do something that others can't do at all, then you are called a legend.
For example, Wang Weiyi!
The new Japanese attack resulted in the loss of two tanks, much to the annoyance of Sugimoto Kazunobu. He quickly called in Air Force support.
The Japanese plane appeared in the sky, and this is what Wang Weiyi has been waiting for for a long time.
Win the biggest with the least cost:
- Kill as many enemies as you want with the least sacrifice!
On the front, Wang Weiyi can still hold on, but it will also cause his soldiers to pay huge casualties, and Wang Weiyi will never do such a loss-making thing.
So when the Japanese planes began to wreak havoc, Wang Weiyi decisively issued an order:
Fall back!
Withdraw from the frontal battlefield and let the devils in to fight!
Some soldiers don't particularly understand, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that in Wang Weiyi's troops, what you have to do is only two words:
Obedience – absolute obedience! Unconditional obedience!
The soldiers quickly began to retreat from the frontal battlefield, into the street fortifications that had long been prepared.
Wang Weiyi, Guo Yunfeng, and Zhang Sandao were the last ones to leave, and Wang Weiyi checked his weapon: "Four knives, three knives, how many enemies can you kill?" ”
"Ten of them."
"Eleven!" Zhang Sandao immediately said unconvinced.
"The more the merrier, but you have to protect yourself." Wang Weiyi smiled, and at this time, the air raid of the planes ended, and the Japanese army began to attack again.
When Wang Weiyi left, he only said one sentence to his two subordinates:
"How did these Japanese get in, and how did you get out of the city for me!" (To be continued.) )
