Section XXVI

The battle situation took a sharp turn, and after the hand-to-hand encounter, the act of bluffing under the cover of night completely lost its effect, this kind of bloody battle of exchanging lives for lives, any falsehood could not work, the only thing that could be relied on was strength, that is, the overall combat power, and this was what they lacked.

The three companies that followed Zhang Lingfu launched a surprise attack suffered heavy casualties, the company commander Xiong Youcai's life and death are unknown, and the company deputy was pulled back by a stone on the verge of death, but others were not so lucky, after continuous rushing and bloody hand-to-hand combat, these local troops who were trained for a month were put into the battlefield, and the strength of the Japanese army was far from the strength of the Japanese army in the face-to-face fighting. In the case of absolute disadvantage in strength, one by one died tragically under the bayonets of the devils.

Zhang Lingfu also personally experienced the feeling of brushing shoulders with death, and when he listened to the shouts of killing around him that had subsided in shame, he resolutely ordered to retreat, not daring to hesitate at all.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded at the same time as Zhang Lingfu ordered the retreat, this sudden change, the shocking power, as soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention, and the surviving officers and men of the national army were also greatly excited when they saw that the place of the explosion was not far behind the Japanese army, and suddenly let out cheers.

However, this explosion was only the beginning, and when everyone did not come to their senses, "boom...... Boom ......" sounded two explosions in succession, and the flames that rose into the sky were accompanied by churning debris, making people feel the terrifying power even from a distance.

Zhang Lingfu and Shi Shi and others lost their minds slightly when the explosion appeared, and then they became ecstatic, Zhang Lingfu lost his usual composure, waved his arms, and cheered loudly: "It's done, the little devil's pontoon bridge has been blown up......

Shi looked at Zhang Lingfu's crazy appearance, and looked around worriedly, for fear that a bullet would shoot out from some corner by sound, in this case, it was an absolutely fatal thing, but the attention of the devil also seemed to be attracted by the explosions that appeared one after another, in this case, there was no abnormal movement, and Shi took a slight breath at the same time, but also reminded: "Commander, shall we withdraw?" ”

Zhang Lingfu restrained the smile on his face, waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to lie down, and then whispered: "Don't retreat, the counterattack will start immediately, and we will wait to give the devil a fatal blow." ”

At that time, when he heard that Zhang Lingfu wanted to blow up the devil's pontoon bridge and annihilate the Japanese army across the river, his only feeling was madness, the ambition of the regiment commander was too great, in this case, he dared to annihilate the other party, you know, the overall strength of the enemy and the enemy, in fact, is not much different, plus the Japanese army's firepower is strong, and there is the support of long-range artillery. There really wasn't much chance of winning, however, the unthinkable happened in this situation, the pontoon bridge was literally blown up!

"Kill...... "At this time, there was a muffled thunderous explosion at the far end of the night, the thunder rolled, from far and near, as if surging from the end of the sky, the sound was getting louder and louder, and the murderous aura was getting more and more interesting, and the overwhelming momentum that seemed to destroy everything made people feel cold and unable to resist.......

Shi and the others fell silently on the ground, listening to the thunderous roar behind them, looking at the shouting in front of them, and the Japanese soldiers who seemed to be in chaos, their hearts were quite excited.

The confidence and attention of the Japanese army seem to have disappeared because of the explosion of the pontoon bridge, and it seems that they have lost their direction because of the death of the captain, listening to the shouting and killing sound that surging like rolling thunder, the Japanese army, which has always been disciplined and fierce in front of them, is also a mess of noisy people, this extremely rare situation, so that the stone for the side of the Commander Zhang's admiration to the extreme, maybe blowing up the pontoon, cutting off the enemy's retreat is not a fatal means, the real fatality, is everyone's heart, In the case of fear and confusion gaining the upper hand, even the strongest troops will fall apart, and this method of disturbing the enemy's heart to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy is the real strong man who leads the army to fight.

Recalling the previous battles with Commander Zhang, the counterattacks again and again, and the charge when the battle situation was stalemate, always seemed dangerous and abnormal, but the facts were in front of him again and again, and the phrase "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road" that Commander Zhang has been putting on his lips is not just talking, it has really been integrated into his bones.

The distance of two or three hundred steps, in this case, came in an instant, with the whistling in the ears, the earth at this moment trembled a little, feeling countless robes rushing madly towards the Japanese army's position in the dark night, Zhang Lingfu, who was lying quietly for a moment, also jumped up from the ground in vain, and shouted: "Rush, kill the past, no one is left!" ”

"Kill the devils, kill them all!" The deputy of the third company on the side also came back to his senses at this moment, and after hearing the order of the regiment commander, he repeated loudly, shouted angrily, and unwillingly vented his emotions, and the speed under his feet was extremely fast, and the idea of avenging the brothers who died in the previous battle filled his whole body.

Shi and Lao Meng and others were naturally not far behind, and they followed Zhang Lingfu quickly, once again attacking the Japanese defense line in the dark night.

"Click...... Click...... Gunfire rang out in front of the area, and the strafing of machine guns and the burst fire of rifles rushed into the darkness with a series of dazzling lines of fire, however, the shouts of killing that rushed to the sky completely enveloped the sky over this area, and even seemed to envelop those lines of fire, so that the gunfire from the Japanese defense line was quickly masked.

Several light and heavy machine guns roared unwillingly, and the breath of the bullets almost tore through the night, as if they were desperately resisting the bursts of shouting and killing, trying to clear a way in the raging storm, but it was greeted by an even more violent storm, with a thunderous hammer, and hit hard.

More than a dozen assault groups that did not make a sound, under the cover of the huge shouting and killing behind them, rushed straight to the enemy's position, when the Japanese army listened to the call sign in the distance, thinking that the enemy still had some distance, they were already approaching the edge of the position, the Japanese machine guns were firing wildly for a while, I thought that it could hinder the enemy's attack momentum, but I did not expect to suffer a blow in vain, listening to the shouting and killing sound that was still dozens of steps away, but in front of me I found that a black shadow broke through the dark blockade and broke into their position.

In fact, there is no decent position here, the skirmish trenches and communication trenches built by the three battalions were blown up in the Japanese artillery fire, after the Japanese occupied this place, it was constantly attacking the depth of the south bank of the Xiaoliu River, and there was no problem with the pontoon bridge as a thoroughfare, and there was no problem with the supply and backup, with their strength, there was really no need to waste time in this projectile land.

However, the counteroffensive that appeared now made them suffer, relying on the Japanese army as a supporter, in the face of a sudden blow, the disadvantages were fully revealed, although the craters one by one can hide their bodies, but they are not connected vertically and horizontally like trenches, and these isolated craters at this moment divided the Japanese army into a small team, and they could not form an effective support and echo at all.

"Kill!" The commander of the second battalion, who was in charge of commanding the charge, unknowingly rushed to the hinterland of the Japanese army, and in the face of the black shadows that were hastily attacked, he snorted coldly, without the slightest expression, and did not even have the interest in taking a look, just walked quickly towards the river.

"Ah" two screams, that is, after the second battalion commander's killing voice exited, the two Japanese soldiers who controlled a machine gun, faced the five or six soldiers of the national army who rushed over, and in the case of not even having a fighting weapon, there was no room to fight back, and they were directly pierced into hedgehogs, screaming and falling to the ground and dying.

And nearby, more screams sounded, more than a dozen squads launched a fierce attack under extremely sudden circumstances, plus the rear road was cut off, the Japanese army was already panicked, I don't know how many enemies rushed over in the dark night, the Japanese army was in chaos for a while, the whole position was wrapped in shouts, and its momentum was not much worse than the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer!

"Rush, don't stop!" "Kill, kill devils"......

The roar of thunder finally completely enveloped the place, and the follow-up troops left on the position of the three battalions, with the assault squad taking the lead, rushed to the last line of defense of the Japanese army with almost no losses, and the strength of nearly two battalions in this narrow battlefield and the Japanese army who had suffered heavy losses in successive battles were in close contact, at this moment, in this case, the Japanese army could not hold on even if it was fierce, and there were constantly figures rolling out of the black whirring corners, and rushing towards the river. From time to time, you can still hear a few "plopping" sounds of falling into the water.

The stone followed Zhang Lingfu all the way, but not a single Japanese soldier found it in front of him, and the corpses on the ground were lying down a lot, witnessing the tragedy of the battle, as for the pungent smell of blood, for these people, it was nothing.

The assault team led by the commander of the second battalion not only caught the Japanese army by surprise, but also greatly surprised them.

At this time, Shi seemed to hear a long sigh from Zhang Tuan next to him, and he felt a sense of relief.
