Chapter 2: The Arduous War of Resistance (18)

At the critical time, fortunately, Qiu Dahai, the commander of the second battalion of the first regiment, and Gu Tugen, the commander of the third battalion, withstood the pressure and did not accept the request of the soldiers to rush out of the regiment to support the regiment commander. However, the feeling of watching an entire battalion of brothers fall in front of him, and all of them die in a tragic way, is not much better than dying in battle.

Fu Xiangduo took the lead in launching a counter-charge, but it failed to cause much damage to the Japanese army. The battle that caused the Japanese to stumble was fought on the second line of defense held by the second battalion. The battle at the beginning went too smoothly, which gave the Japanese commander Yoshiyoshi Akiyama a delusion. It was believed that the Cadet Corps on the opposite side was no more than that, at least with limited troops, so it was impossible to interfere with the operational planning of the headquarters. During this period, Jing Shuxuan sent a telegram to Yoshiju Ryosuke for help again, saying that the five groups of rescue teams sent before and after were all annihilated by the Shina army, and the 18th Brigade was almost exhausted, and if the division headquarters could no longer provide effective support, the 18th Brigade could only choose the way of breaking all jade to defend the dignity of the Imperial Army.

The Japanese soldiers of this era really don't take life and death very seriously. Jing Shuxuan's dispatch of such a telegram has undoubtedly indicated his intention to die. Yoshizu Ryosuke didn't dare to ignore it, and sent three groups of men and horses in a row to ask Akiyama Yoshiyoshi to speed up the attack efficiency and strive to rescue the 18th Brigade from the Sea of Suffering, at least the people of Jing Shuxuanshi and the brigade headquarters must be fished out. In this case, after successfully defeating Fu Xiangduo's counter-charge, the complacent Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was hot-headed and issued an order for the whole army to assault.

The second battalion commander Qiu Dahai's side was a new Ding named Qiu Junqiang, who had been a soldier for less than three months, and was absorbed by Erzhang when he was expanding his team in eastern Hebei. In the battle of Wanping, Qiu Junqiang only watched the fireworks released by the Huizi cannon from a distance, and he didn't even see the figure of the devil, and the battle was over. So strictly speaking, this is his first battle. With the generous logistical supply of the cadet army (at least many low-level officers and soldiers think so), the training of the special police column is much more generous than before, and it is a recruit like Qiu Junqiang, who has consumed nearly 30 rounds of ammunition so far, which was simply impossible in the past. Although he had already been shot, Qiu Junqiang was still inevitably nervous, seeing that the figure of the little devil was getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of guns began to approach, he blushed and reminded the silent Qiu Dahai: "Camp, the devil is rushing up!" ”

Qiu Dahai glanced at him, his originally cold expression eased, and asked in a low voice, "What?" Scared? It's okay, and when the fight starts, you won't feel this way. Remember, you're not a human, it's a bunch of beasts! There is no need to be reasonable when dealing with beasts! As a small company commander of the former Northeast Army, the shame of 918 was deeply imprinted in his heart, making the hatred of the sea extremely short. Not only him, as long as he was born in the former Northeast Army, his hatred for the Japanese invaders was a few points stronger than that of other national army units. This is also the main reason why Ouyang Yun is particularly interested in these two special police columns.

For the little devil, Qiu Junqiang did not have such a deep hatred for the sea in his heart, but he had heard about the atrocities of the Japanese army, and felt that the metaphor of the camp seat was quite appropriate. He said, "Come, beasts! "Putting the butt of the gun tightly on my shoulder, I feel much more at ease.

Qiu Dahai has not been trained in the military academy and has no habit of ranging and ranging, but as a veteran for many years, he knows what is the best blocking distance. The guns of the Japanese army became louder and denser, and from time to time stray bullets flew in front of the soldiers, and some even hit the helmets directly, making a piercing sound of metal rubbing. Grenades also began to explode among the fighters, and the familiar moans and screams occasionally rang in the ears of the fighters, which meant that another brother was wounded or even hung up. About ten meters away from Qiu Junqiang, a comrade-in-arms lay down, his head raised a little high, and a bullet pierced his skull directly from the middle of the bridge of his nose, and he immediately stopped alive - although Qiu Junqiang endured not to look, but from the familiar screams, he still felt the death of his comrade-in-arms. His heartstrings tightened and tightened, and the index finger of his right hand holding the trigger became a little stiff, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. Qiu Dahai silently calculated the distance, and suddenly, he shouted: "Fight!" Half-crouched, the two-handed shell gun leaned down at the same time, and began to shoot at the devil within twenty meters in front of him.

A loud cry from the camp was exactly what the soldiers of the second battalion desperately needed at this moment. First, four Makqin and more than 20 light machine guns rang out, and then the gunfire of Weiqing-style assault infantry and submachine guns came and went, and the devils who rushed to the front fell like rice fields after a strong wind.

"Boom!" "Boom!" …… The explosion of the grenade sounded, and after the devil fell down one by one, under the command of several officers, they fell to the ground one after another, and launched a confrontation with the soldiers of the second battalion.

The camouflage combat uniforms introduced by the Academy Research and Development Institute were very good to help the soldiers of the second battalion hide their whereabouts, and the previous sacrifices of Fu Xiangduo and the first battalion also paralyzed Akiyama Yoshiyoshi to a certain extent. In the midst of the recklessness, although it was certain that the Cadet Army must have intercepted troops ambushing it, such a scale and such dense firepower was something that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi did not expect. The bravery of the Japanese army helped the 2nd Battalion expand its achievements to a certain extent. When Makqin's special "da-da-da" sound sounded, the Japanese army did not stop attacking, so that by the time those front-line commanders realized that something was wrong, the troops had already suffered great casualties. One of the fastest squadrons had already lost one-third of its combat strength in the previous battle with the first battalion, and at this time, almost the entire squadron was wiped out, and only squadron leader Arakawa Thornji was spared. Seeing that the soldiers no longer had the courage to stand up and charge again after lying on the ground under the officer's order, Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was so angry that his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and ordered the artillery to carry out saturation shelling, in a vain attempt to use artillery fire to directly eliminate the enemy who was blocking the attack, in order to strive for the fastest passage.

Since they had not yet received systematic training from the Cadet Corps, they did not pay enough attention to the excavation of anti-artillery fortifications, and the continuous shelling caused heavy casualties to the 2nd Battalion. About a quarter of an hour later, the combined number of officers and men of the second battalion who could afford guns was less than a company. And Qiu Dahai was also blown off his left hand.

Looking at the entire position of the second battalion, in the smoke of gunpowder, there were stumps and flesh and blood of the soldiers everywhere - the power of the cannon of the god of infantry was so fierce, Qiu Junqiang, a recruit, was a real insight this time.
