Chapter 6 Winning by firepower
Chapter 6 Winning by firepower
There were more than 100 soldiers in the entire temporary company ambushed around, and all of them stared nervously at the devils who were chasing closer and closer. At this time, Luodian only had a short street, and there were low houses on both sides. Today, there are almost no standing houses, and under the bombardment of heavy artillery and aircraft, they are all in ruins.
Only a few buildings can still be seen in the center of the town, and that's because the fighting was almost always fought outside the town, and the area around the town has been razed to the ground.
Once the center is controlled, it is equivalent to occupying Luodian. The headquarters of the 66th Regiment was close to the north, and the 65th Regiment was to the south. The brigade headquarters and the 65th Regiment were together, and the pressure on that side was relatively lighter.
But Ye Peigao didn't dare not defend, and the devil always outflanked him. As long as Luodian is not lost, the surrounding area will be safe, otherwise Taicang and Jiading will be in danger, and the devils will be able to attack the downtown area of Shanghai. Around Luodian, the 33rd Brigade could not afford not to be unguarded.
There was the 201st Brigade of the 67th Division on the flank, but in order to recapture Luodian, they had already been half-crippled and had to retire later. The 98th Division was blocking the Japanese troops landing in the Baoshan area, and there was only one 33rd Brigade in the entire Luodian for the time being. Another 31st Brigade of the 11th Division was transferred to the 87th Division and was blocking the attack of the 3rd Division.
So Liu Jie said that there were no reinforcements. Ye Peigao only has this regiment that can maneuver, but he doesn't know how long Luo Dian will be guarded. If he throws himself into the reserve at once, I am afraid that he will no longer have the strength to defend it, and he can only lose Luodian.
Every day, the brigade headquarters could receive phone calls from the division commanders, including the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, Xue Yue, telling them to hold on, not to lose Luodian, and to ensure the safety of Baoshan. Waiting for the Ninth Group Army to completely annihilate the Japanese army in the Shanghai city and win the victory of the Songhu Exhibition.
The commanders of every division-level unit are not too optimistic about these commands. When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, the Japanese army had only one marine, with a total strength of more than 5,000 people, and the national army was two integrated divisions, an independent brigade, and an artillery regiment, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people, ten times the strength of the Japanese army. For more than a month, even 5,000 Japanese troops have not been wiped out, who would believe such a thing at this time?
As the Japanese army increased its troops again and again, the war scene became bigger and bigger. The Japanese army has increased its troops three times, reaching more than 100,000 troops, and the national army has also reached 400,000, but the devils in the center of Shanghai have not been eliminated.
With the excessive losses of the Air Force and the loss of air supremacy, the ground forces have an even more difficult time. Only the soldiers do not know about such a situation, and they still have firm beliefs and are not afraid of sacrifice to fight to the death.
But Xue Ru knew all this, so she didn't want to fight these good soldiers. Even if Luodian is lost, it will not have any impact on the ending. If they hold on, these elite troops will all die here.
What she can do now is to kill and injure as many devils as possible, whether Luodian can hold it or not is not a matter for Xue Ru to consider, so she decided to put the devils in to fight. But Xiao Yong, who also has combat experience, can see that this is very dangerous, even if there are more devils killed, Luodian still has the possibility of being lost. So he resolutely disagreed to let him in to fight, but the bold Xue Ru actually coerced him with a war knife.
Xue Ru didn't want to surrender, he didn't plan to escape, and Xiao Yong certainly didn't want to die, so he had to agree to fight like this. Seeing that the seven or eight hundred devils were tightly biting Zou Huanzhang and chasing them into the town, Xiao Yong could only say that Xue Ru was lucky, if all the devils and a wing followed, the fate of the 33rd Brigade was to withdraw from Luodian. But the arrogant devil didn't wait for the follow-up troops, and a single brigade chased in.
Looking at Zou Huanzhang and them, Xue Ru raised the gun that robbed Xiao Yong, fired a bullet, and shouted, "Fight." ”
The soldiers hiding in the rubble all came out and opened fire on the Japanese with their guns in their hands. I can't help but admit that the weapons of this temporary company are good, except for the shell gun, although the number is not large, but it is a rain of bullets.
* The range is shorter, this imitation gun has a shorter range, just a limited distance than a pistol, but how wide a town street can be, this distance is just right. The order given by Xue Ru was to run out of bullets, and these soldiers did not come out at all, and shot vigorously.
Hachiro Araki, who is very military-literate, is not unexpected, after all, one of his squadrons has been ambushed. They knew the situation of the Chinese army, and in the face of the imperial army approaching a brigade, the Chinese army could not destroy itself even if it was a brigade, so he rushed in very arrogantly.
Seeing that there was indeed an ambush, he immediately commanded people to return fire around and launched a squad attack. He wanted to defeat the ambushed Chinese troops with accurate shooting and tactical flexibility.
But Araki Hachiro didn't know that the tactics he encountered were the same tactics he faced when facing the U.S. military a few years later. Fighting against the U.S. military, the Japanese army's 38 rifle against the U.S. military's automation*, is to be beaten.
Even in the fight against the Soviet army, the single-shot rifle of the devil could not withstand the Soviet Boposa. This time it was like this, the guard unit and the special service platoon were all short guns and *, all automatic weapons that fired in bursts, and the devils did not have such a fast speed at all, and the people who were beaten turned on their backs, and there were countless casualties.
It was not easy to use any grenadiers or mortars, and it was very infuriating that the Japanese troops, who were accustomed to fighting bayonets, could not find anyone. These cunning Chinese troops did not charge, but just shot vigorously.
Hachiro Araki finally couldn't stand it anymore, and if this continued, one of his brigades would all die here, and he didn't even have time to send a telegram for reinforcements from the wing captain, so he had to order a retreat.
As soon as the devil retreated, Xue Ru shouted: "Get on the bayonet, kill." ”
Xiao Yong was dumbfounded, because of this bullet, the devil fell more than half. He had never seen such a fight, so he jumped up and grabbed the rifle and rushed out.
Xue Ru breathed a sigh of relief, if the fucking devil didn't retreat, the bullets would be gone. These soldiers had a maximum of ten* on them, no more than 200 rounds of ammunition, and that would take them a few minutes. Zou Huanzhang, who retreated head-on, also brought people back.
Seeing the Chinese troops rushing out, Araki Hachiro didn't know how many there were and didn't dare to stop retreating. No matter what kind of army, defeat is the same, and when the bushido spirit is defeated, it is also panicked. Under the onslaught of the wolf-like army, the devil retreated.
Xue Ru, who was very excited, jumped up and pulled out the war knife and rushed forward. But she overestimated her current body, and what she thought was different from her feet, she tripped over a brick and fell on her heels.
Xiao Yong, who rushed in front of him, stretched out his hand to pull her, but he withdrew it again, and stabbed a devil in the chest with laughter. Knowing that Xiao Yong was laughing at her, she shouted angrily: "Xiao Yong, you wait." ”
Xiao Yong turned over and opened a devil's bayonet, stabbed it in, and laughed as blood flew out: "Stupid, a woman is a woman, Lao Tzu is waiting for you." ”
Laughing and chasing the devil. stood up and rubbed his knees while scolding: "Damn Xiao Yong, it's really ungraceful, stinky man." ”
But if you walk with a limp, you can't catch up with these people at all. The devil attacks quickly and retreats quickly. Xue Ru, who had run two steps, shouted: "Quick, withdraw and dodge the shelling." ”
The soldiers who heard it hurried to report Zou Huanzhang. It's so fucking painful, chasing the devil's ass and beating it behind. When I heard the soldiers shouting, I remembered that I quickly stopped the troops and cleaned up the battlefield.
Nagatsu Sabi was stunned, and what he saw in the telescope made him unbelievable. Hachiro Araki pursued into Luodian, and he was still very happy, and it seemed that Luodian was really occupied.
Immediately ordered the brigades on the left and right flanks to intensify the offensive and not give the Chinese army a chance to reinforce the middle. There is only one regiment on the opposite side, and it can't stop the attack at all, as long as the 1st Brigade enters the town and attacks other directions from behind, Luodian is his own. But as soon as his order was given, he saw the 1st Brigade fleeing from the town in disarray. Even less than half of the people, could it be that the Chinese army has increased its strength again? That's impossible, even with one or two regiments, there is no possibility of defeating a brigade of the imperial army so quickly.
This surprise urgently ordered the artillery to intercept the fire and block the pursuers. It is infuriating that the Chinese army did not chase and stopped at the edge of the town to regain the lost position. A squadron of one hundred and seventy-four people, the loss of three squadrons in one day, plus the losses in other areas, is equal to the loss of a brigade, and there is not much artillery shells left.
Watching Hachiro Araki flee back in embarrassment, he is on fire, and he is a concord mouth. Of course, it is to hit one head-on, and draw another one backhand, called Concord mouth, and beat Araki Hachiro to the point of stardom. Even after running and being frightened, he was beaten again and fainted directly out of breath.
Yongjin Sabi looked at the sky and asked for planes too late, and had to wait for the shells to arrive, so he had to report to the division commander and order to stop the attack.
For such a long time, the national army has also gained experience, and when they saw that the devils only fired a few shots and stopped, they knew that they would not attack.
Zou Huanzhang suddenly asked, "Platoon Commander Xiao, where is Miss Xue?" ”
Xiao Yong was not convinced, but he still admired it in his heart. But the thought of being a big man and being held by a little girl with a knife on the neck makes me very angry. said fiercely: "I don't know, maybe I'm injured, right?" ”
"What?" Zou Huanzhang was taken aback, Xue Ru is the treasure of the Fifth Company, if it weren't for her, these people would all have to die here today. Immediately glared and said, "What's the matter with you?" Why don't you protect her? ”
No matter how you say it, Xiao Yong is the second lieutenant platoon commander after all, and Zou Huanzhang is the captain company commander. Xiao Yong won the trust of the battalion commander, but several company commanders were also cronies of the battalion commander. opened his mouth and didn't speak, Zou Huanzhang hurriedly handed over the position to Zhang Jing and them, and returned to the town. Seeing Xue Ru sitting on a rock, he hurriedly asked, "How are you, are you seriously injured?" ”
Looking at Xiao Yong who was standing on the side, Xue Ru glared at him fiercely and said, "It's okay, how is the front?" ”
Zou Huanzhang said: "It seems that the devil will not attack, and the day has finally passed." ”
Xue Ru said: "What about tomorrow? Why hasn't Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang come back yet? ”
Zhang Dongjiang said in the distance: "I'm back, I'm sorry I didn't catch up." ”
Xue Ru stood up and saw that everyone around him was saluting a person, only to see a middle-aged man standing next to Zhang Dongjiang, looking at him with a smile on his face. Zhang Dongjiang hurriedly said, "Miss Xue, this is Brigade Commander Ye. ”
Xue Ru really didn't know which Ye Brigade Commander it was. There are too many generals in the Anti-Japanese Army, but I just know those theater-level commanders, and then the ones that are particularly famous, so I don't know this, so I raise my hand and salute.
Ye Peigao thought he had failed, but as soon as he entered here, he saw the corpses of devils, and many soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. When I asked, I learned that I had won a great victory, destroying more than 400 enemies.
This is a big victory, enough to shake the headquarters, it is not easy to eliminate a squad of devils, this is the strength of two squadrons. When he knew that it was the little girl in front of him who was in charge, he returned the salute very solemnly: "I heard about Miss Xue, I will report to the commander and ask for credit for you." ”
Xue Ru was not in a good mood, what was the use of such a victory? In the end, Shanghai is not a failure. Today's battle is completely won by the arrogance of the devils, and if the devils have another squadron to attack, it will be a failure, and Luodian may also be lost.
Even if he is not a soldier, if he loses Luodian, I am afraid that he will have to shoot himself. Until now, I don't know who I am, how did I run to the battlefield. There is no backstage, I don't know anyone, and I lose Luodian, and no one can save myself. You can't do this next time, it's thankless.
Hearing Ye Peigao's words, he said: "It's just a fluke, if the devil wasn't too arrogant, maybe Luodian would have been lost." ”
As Ye Peigao, who is very talented in commanding, he knew that this was too risky as soon as he heard it. But after all, she won the battle and was a young girl, so it was hard to say anything. I didn't expect Xue Ru to know that this was not ordinary. It's rare not to be proud of winning a battle, and asked with concern: "How is the injury, I'll take you to the hospital." ”
Xue Ru said: "No, it's a minor injury, of course my own people won't kill me." ”
Ye Peigao was taken aback: "My own people, who?" ”
