Chapter 147: Kill Them
The story between Jiang Tietou and his wife has been heard by the old men of the guerrillas. When he was still in the base area of Eagle Cliff Mountain, in a counter-encirclement and suppression, his wife was caught by a little devil in order to cover Jiang Tietou. Because of the traitor's betrayal, the little devil learned her identity and wanted to force Jiang Tietou to show up through her, but in order to avoid this, she committed suicide by hitting her head on a stone mill.
Although Huang Zhongming didn't know about it, he immediately felt it, which made him sigh regretfully in his heart, and he also remembered his two brothers. He looked at Fan Yongcai and asked, "Brigade Commander Fan, I don't know if you met my brother on the way here." ”
Fan Yongcai shook his head: "We came all the way and didn't meet other brothers. Looking at Jiang Tietou, he asked a little surprised: "Boss Tie, have you still divided your troops?" ”
"No, they are a few wounded soldiers, and then there are Huang Zhongming's two younger brothers. Huang Zhongming is not from our army, he stayed at my request to help. ”
Fan Yongcai's answer made Huang Zhongming a little worried. Seeing this, Meng Taishan comforted him and said: "Xiao Huang, don't worry, Yongxiu was our people in the past, and they will be fine." ”
When Xu Zhi and the Second Brigade caught up, Keiichiro Oishi suppressed the artillery fire again, but this time, he did not use gas bombs again. The cannon rumbled, and the cadets nervously put on their gas masks. Surrounded by more than a dozen officers, Xu Zhi first comforted the surviving cadets of the reconnaissance battalion, and then went up to the river embankment to observe the enemy situation without fear of artillery fire. He saw that the Japanese landing ship was returning to the opposite shore and asked Fan Yongcai: "Old Fan, what's the matter?" Why don't you attack? ”
Fan Yongcai's face flushed. Embarrassed to say that he was frightened by the poison gas bomb, he said: "Master, wait for your order!" ”
Xu Zhi glanced at him coldly, his eyes swept over those reconnaissance battalion students who died in battle, and the next moment he raised his fist and shouted: "The brothers of the reconnaissance battalion must not die in vain, Shi Hua!" ”
"Here!" The commander of the Second Brigade, a man of medium stature, replied loudly.
Xu Zhi pointed at the devil soldiers who were nervously building beachhead fortifications and said, "Kill them!" Not a single one is allowed to stay! ”
"Yes!" Shi Hua replied loudly, turning around to assemble the team.
Fan Yongcai said: "The Japanese army has gunboat support, and poison gas bombs, if you attack strongly, I am afraid that the loss will be not small." ”
"No matter how heavy the casualties are, they must be killed, do you wait for them to establish a beachhead, and then wait for the main force to come?"
The Japanese landing ship was returning to the north shore, and Fan Yongcai was silent when he saw this.
In less than five minutes, the Second Brigade, under the command of Shi Hua, launched an attack on the devils of about a brigade on the river beach.
The dense cadets rushed out from under the river embankment on the south bank, making Suzuki Harusuki's eyelids jump. When Kuang Liang and the others appeared, although they behaved extremely bravely, and they actually rescued Jiang Tietou and their dozen "boiled ducks" with less fighting, but after all, the number of people was limited, so although Suzuki was angry that Nobumura was not angry, he did not feel frustrated because the third wave of landing troops had already landed. But now, when a cadet of a brigade appeared before his eyes, and realized that reinforcements from the defenders had arrived, and that his surprise plan was in high danger, he was like a deflated ball, frustrated. "Eight grids!" He scolded indignantly, unable to hold his breath any longer.
Sueo Sakamoto stepped forward and asked, "Your Excellency, what now?" Why don't you ask Oishi Shaozo to continue bombarding with poison gas bombs? ”
"There's no need for this, the people of China are prepared, and the effectiveness of the gas bomb is very limited. Report to the division commander, quickly take Yongxiu, the plan to surprise Nanchang has failed. ”
"Do you want to continue crossing the river?"
"No, let Dashi bring the people back!"
More than 3,000 soldiers rushed out of the river embankment in a dense manner, and then rushed down in the loud charge, and the devils on the river beach were stunned. The "Da ......" general purpose machine gun began to prepare for firepower, and more than a dozen mortars of the "empty air ......" also began to fight, grenades screamed and smashed down, mushroom clouds rose one after another, many devils were lifted away, and the miserable howl sounded immediately.
The situation on the battlefield changed too quickly, and it was quite thorough, if it weren't for the presence of Ichiro Aramura, the captain, the devil would have collapsed at this time.
"Don't panic, hold on, hold on! As long as you hold this position, the large army on the north bank can calmly kill. Soldiers, your chance to make a difference! Ready, shoot! He hissed and shouted, and under his command, the devils chose to lie down one after another, set up the 38 big covers, and shot at the students.
As mentioned earlier, guerrillas are good at raiding and harassing warfare, and although they can fight frontal combat, their combat effectiveness is a grade worse than that of conventional cadet soldiers.
Under Ouyang Yun's deliberate shaping, the combat characteristics of the Cadet Army are actually similar to those of the Japanese army, that is, they both emphasize absolute firepower preparation to weaken the enemy's firepower intensity and morale, and only after sufficient firepower preparation will troops be dispatched to carry out a strong attack. Xu Zhi is a master of guerrillas, but he lacks some in this kind of positional warfare. Of course, from a strategic point of view, the devils on the south bank must be eliminated. Therefore, even knowing that he would have to pay a considerable price, he could only order a strong attack.
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce - the defending side had an innate advantage, hundreds of 38 big covers and a dozen light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, and the cadets who rushed to the front fell one by one. “MD!” Some "old bandits" were angry, they scolded, ripped off their gas masks and rushed forward even more fearlessly. "Bandits" have a characteristic, sometimes they are afraid of death, but once they go crazy, they will be especially afraid of death. The blood of the brothers ignited the anger in their hearts, and they cursed and opened fire, the muzzle of the Weiqing-style assault rifle in their hands spewed out long flames, and a string of bullets swept past, and several of them fell on the spot by the devil machine gun shooter who was prioritized.
The 1st Division and 2nd Brigade attacked with difficulty, and the Japanese army was equally difficult to defend. It's so close to the river that a little digging will seep water. In winter, the consequences of being wet by water are very serious, so the little devils never thought of digging the river beach to build fortifications, they only picked up pebbles or other objects to pile up into simple fortifications, and the protective performance of this fortification, its actual effect is far less than the psychological comfort effect. Hundreds or even more Weiqing-style assault rifles fired in a salvo, and if they were crushed at the same time as hundreds of light machine guns, this kind of firepower density, not to mention that the Japanese army had no fortifications to rely on, even if there were fortifications, then they would never dare to show their heads to counterattack.
The initial battle brought huge casualties to both sides. As the cadets advanced within 100 meters of the Japanese army, the battle began to take on a one-sided situation. The guerrillas' killer tactics were used - in just five minutes, nearly a thousand grenades were thrown into the midst of the devils, finally crushing their layered resistance.
