At Minohe Bridge, this was an unexpected result.

The Uchiguchi Infantry Brigade was defeated by a group of remnants of the army with absolute artillery superiority, and the news of the death of the captain Uchiguchi Iwaji shook the battlefield.

Where did such a force come out?

After defeating the Neikou Infantry Brigade, Wang Weiyi quickly divided his troops to support the 26th Division of Li Zhaizhichuan's Army.

On that day, the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army went forward one after another and fought bloodily. Relying on the weapons supported by Wang Weiyi, he struggled to hold on, but was violently killed and wounded by Japanese artillery and tanks, and his position was precarious.

However, under such circumstances, the officers and men of the 26th Division of the Sichuan Army fought with one heart and one mind, fighting with all their might, from officers to soldiers, no one retreated under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, and many positions were fought to the last one.

Just like the skeleton battle flag fluttering in the wind in Germany, on the position of the Sichuan army, a dead flag also stood under the destruction of Japanese artillery:

That's a big banner with the word "death":

This is a banner made of white cloth, with a big word "death" written in the center, and on the right side of the word "death" is written "I don't want you to be filial piety before me, but I only want you to be loyal to the nation."

And on the left side is written "When the national disaster is at the head, the Japanese are hideous." The rise and fall of the country has a share. I wanted to serve, but I was too old. Fortunately, I have a son, and I consciously ask for help. Give a flag and carry it with you at all times. Wipe blood when wounded, and wrap up after death. Go forward and don't forget your duty. ”

This "death" flag is magnificent.

The Sichuan army is mighty! Chinese soldiers mighty!

In the 26th Division, the reserves were all empty, and the division commander Liu Yuqing; Brigade Commander Zhu Zaitang has already assembled men, orderlies, and staff officers as the most rearly troops. When I was ready to go to the battlefield in person, reinforcements arrived!

It was a group of soldiers armed with machine guns and submachine guns, and they used their ferocious fire to strike at the Japanese troops who were about to rush into position. The grenade cut off the road to reinforce the Japanese army.

It was a reinforcement from Sanhe Bridge, led by Wang Weiyi himself!

When the Japanese army retreated, Liu Yuqing and Zhu Zaitang, the two senior officers of the Sichuan army, did not say a word of gratitude, but silently raised their hands and gave a military salute to Wang Weiyi.

In the face of the commander whose official rank far exceeded his own, Wang Weiyi only silently returned a military salute

Soldiers, you don't need to use too many words to communicate

On October 26, the last position of the Seckert line was big - not lost!

Big field. Still in the hands of the Chinese army!

And the death of Uchiguchi Iwaji also shocked Major General Yoshikatsu Kuroiwa, the commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army. Obviously, victory was already within reach, but instead of seeing the Minohe Bridge position. On the contrary, the 22nd Brigade was killed in the most courageous battle of Uchiguchi Iwaji.

This is an unforgivable loss!

On the 27th, under the strict orders of Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu, Japanese aircraft and artillery carried out retaliatory bombardment of the Minohe Bridge position. Countless shells frantically landed on the position

The commander of the 43rd Wing, Takeshita Sanden, also personally appeared at the front

All Chinese officers and soldiers at the Minohe Bridge position are ready for battle!

But at this time, an unexpected situation happened: the German consultant Werner. Lieutenant Hazen appeared at the front!

As soon as Wang Weiyi saw this German. Immediately I knew what he had come to do:

The Germans are coming desperately!

Seckert Line. It was built under the advice and supervision of German advisers, both of whom had the greatest expectations of the Nationalist Government and German advisers.

Now that the Seckert line had largely collapsed, and only a large part of the field was left to hold on, the German advisers' pride had been seriously hurt.

They decided to redeem their damaged dignity on the battlefield!

Warner. It was under such circumstances that Hayson appeared on the battlefield!

As soon as he arrived, it was the time when the Japanese artillery attack was at its heaviest. Haisen shouted and ordered all the soldiers to take their bayonets and prepare to launch a counter-charge against the Japanese!

The status of German advisers in the national army was very high. But his order was incompatible with the order given by Captain Wang Weiyi, and the soldiers were at a loss for a moment.

"Attack! Offensive! "Werner. Hazen roared. As if he wanted to vent his anger completely, he spoke so fast that even the translator couldn't keep up.

"Advisor, our captain ordered us to hold on." Ouyang Yu, who was in charge of the battle here, said loudly.

"He's a coward, a coward!" Werner desperately shouted: "Bayonet to bayonet, human life for human life!" A true warrior will never hide here! ”

"Who said that!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind Werner, and it was German with a Bavarian accent.

"I said it!" When Werner turned around, he saw a Chinese officer. He could speak so pure German that Werner didn't even think: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Captain Wang Weiyi!" Wang Weiyi's tone was a little indifferent: "Lieutenant, why don't you salute the commander when you see it?" ”

This was never what was ever asked of a German adviser. German advisers have always had a high status in the Chinese military. The interpreter was worried that this Captain Wang Weiyi was transferred from another remote place, and he couldn't figure out the situation, so he hurriedly said: "Captain, they are German advisers"

"I know they're German advisers!"

In Wang Weiyi's eyes, Werner. A German officer like Hazen was simply his junior, and when he became a German general, the other party was just a child.

Word by word, he said, "Lieutenant, please salute the sir!" ”

"Captain, please forgive me for my faux pas." Werner finally gave in.

There is a strange, but irresistible pressure on the Chinese captain. Even in his presence, Werner inexplicably developed a sense of reverence and fear.

God knows why such a strange thing could have happened

The Chinese officers and soldiers on the side were a little confused, and the captain was talking German there. The captain actually knows German? But after such a conversation, the German adviser actually saluted Captain Lu respectfully.

It's a rare thing.

Japanese planes flew through the sky, and Wang Weiyi asked Werner to follow him to the hideout: "Where is Germany?" ”

"Thuringia"

"A nice place." Wang Weiyi smiled, and then said, "Lieutenant Werner, thank you for coming to help us." Your weapons and advisors have been of great help to us. But here it is in China, not in Germany. We don't have planes, artillery and tanks to support us, our mission is to defend here, and a rash attack will only cause us huge casualties, and eventually lose this position. ”

Werner nodded. It seems that the Chinese captain was very familiar with Germany.

"Hold on to it in order to kill more enemies in the future." Wang Weiyi's voice was soft: "And as an advisor, your task is not to lead us to charge, but to command and coordinate, I think you also know that our command has decided to withdraw to the second line of defense, right?" Lieutenant Werner, I now order you to return to your position where you are supposed to stay at once, and help our troops to evacuate the battlefield as intact as possible. ”

Werner finally remembered his duty, and indeed he was too impulsive.

He was not a brainless soldier, and the shadow of defeat made him lose his mind for a while: "Captain, I know what to do." ”

"Then do it." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

When Werner left, he asked curiously: "Captain, where did you learn your German?" ”

"Ah, I knew a few German friends when I was in school." Wang Weiyi said with a smile.

"Yes, Captain." Ouyang Yu came to Wang Weiyi's side with a surprised face: "Captain, the German ladies play for you, and the German advisers are so respectful to you, have you ever been to Germany?" ”

"Nope." Wang Weiyi shook his head: "I have never been to Germany"

The Japanese planes left arrogantly after wreaking havoc on the battlefield.

"Get ready for battle." Wang Weiyi took up his weapon: "Brothers, there is one more day, continue to hold on here for one day!" Go, send someone to tell the brothers of the 26th Division and let them retreat with us tomorrow! ”

"Captain, the Japanese are coming up."

"All in position and ready to fight!"

This time, the number of Japanese attackers increased significantly, and on the contrary, the Chinese soldiers on the Minohe Bridge position also became noticeably more calm.

They have initially achieved what Wang Weiyi wants:

Calm down, calm down, calm down on the battlefield!

When you don't have to fight hard, you will never fight with your life, but when it's really time to fight hard?

There is no turning back, only death!

The machine guns and submachine guns on the position, along with the explosion of grenades and the firing of rifles, were constantly ringing there. The Chinese soldiers fell, the Japanese fell.

All people are here with only one purpose:

Victory!

At this time, in the Songhu battlefield, the Chinese army began to retreat to the second defensive front, and Dachang became the most rear-end sniper for the Japanese army to cover the retreat.

From the Minohe Bridge to the position of the Li Mansion, the two troops fought bloodily and held back the pace of the Japanese army's advance.

Time and time again, even the Japanese army forgot how many times they had attacked, but the opposite position was like an impregnable wall.

The casualties of the Chinese army were enormous, but it was worth it for the entire battlefield.

When the enemy attack was repelled again, the soldiers looked very tired. They lay quietly in their positions, seizing the little time to take a good rest. In a moment, perhaps even more brutal battles will break out.

It's 3 p.m. on Oct. 27.

It is getting closer and closer to the time stipulated by the base, and Wang Weiyi is fully confident that he will hold on until that time.

This was the first mission that the "Rambler" received when he came to this era, and now it looks like he is off to a good start. (To be continued.) )
