Section 183 Taken

The powerful lethality of the artillery shells is obviously not only effective for the national army, but also for the Japanese army! It's just that the national army troops, not to mention artillery, even rifles can't be fully equipped, and it is completely conceivable how poor the firepower is, and the Japanese army has naturally not been attacked like this. What's even worse is that these artillery of the independent regiment not only have amazing firepower coverage before the war, but also their strength lies in the fact that the coordination between the infantry is too perfect, almost on par with the offensive method that the Japanese army has always been proud of.

And when the unprepared they were attacked in a similar way to the other side, they were equally helpless, the same heavy losses, those soldiers who were constantly firing back and fighting, when the shells continued to explode, whether they were lifted off, or cut by the fragments of the shells, or those who were lucky enough to survive, could not continue to keep firing, and in the case of the shells whistling, they could only desperately retreat into the trenches and craters, and do everything they could to avoid the damage of the shells.

The soldiers of the first battalion launched a fierce charge, almost just after the explosion of the shells, they rushed out with their weapons, and broke into the Japanese position with a fierce attitude of not afraid of death, fifty paces away, in the blink of an eye, under the suppression and cover of several machine guns, the soldiers of the first battalion broke into the Japanese position with unimaginable success.

The Japanese troops on the defensive line had just escaped the attack of the artillery shells and leaned out of the position, and they were startled by the sight in front of them, in front of them, a burly and murderous enemy rushed with bayonets, they instinctively raised their thoughts to shoot, the enemy on the opposite side moved faster, after a gunshot, great pain swept over the body, they could only watch in despair as countless figures crossed over them, rushing deeper into the area.

The Japanese positions were in chaos in an instant, and under a series of blows, the Japanese army's proud and powerful combat power was not worth mentioning in front of these independent regiment soldiers. Especially on the battlefield of the three companies, the three companies of soldiers commanded by Cheng Zhong are even more people block and kill, Buddha block*, these usually arrogant veterans, the killing skills shown on the battlefield are breathtaking, they form a small formation with each other, like a sophisticated combat instrument continue to advance, along the way only to see the Japanese soldiers continue to fall, there is no unity at all. No matter how brave a soldier is, he is powerless in the face of such a well-organized and orderly division of labor.

The second battalion was originally ordered to strengthen the offensive in the middle, but now seeing that the first battalion has successfully torn apart the Japanese defense line, it can't help but be overjoyed, and the tall sledgehammer did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the three companies of the second battalion to use the platoon as a unit to attack the Japanese position in depth, and cooperate with the brothers of the first battalion to quickly capture the Japanese position.

The Japanese troops on the battlefield on the south bank of the Chishi River collapsed in an instant, and some Japanese troops who had experienced a hundred battles knew that they could not retreat under such circumstances, so they gritted their teeth and charged at the assault group of the first battalion, launching a counterattack with a decisive attitude, trying to block the momentum of their advance. Some Japanese troops were timid in their hearts, and they could not see any hope of victory in such a situation, so they pulled their legs and withdrew. However, in their panic, they seemed to have forgotten where this was, and where could they retreat when the Red Rock River was behind them? In desperation, they were dominated by fear, and rushed along the river towards the wings, only to see the pontoon bridge on the river, and they refused to let go like a man in the water grasping at a life-saving straw.

The Japanese troops on the north bank were constantly reinforcing the south bank, and according to their original idea, a large group of troops stabilized the position on the south bank, and waited until dawn before the main force went south to attack. Now that the situation has changed, they have no choice but to send reinforcements to the south bank overnight and hold their positions on the south bank as much as possible. You must know that in today's battle, in order to defeat the enemy army on the other side of the river, their division and regiment have paid a lot of price, and if this kind of battle is repeated tomorrow, not to mention how big the losses are, at least psychologically it will be a little difficult to accept, after all, these casualties should not have occurred in the first place.

Something terrible happened, the reinforcements on the pontoon bridge were attacked by the rout of their own side, one side wanted to rush back to the north bank, and the other side wanted to reinforce the south bank, and they couldn't help but crowd together, and they were very chaotic for a while. The Japanese commander who was in charge of rushing to the south bank for reinforcements could not help but be furious when he saw this situation, and immediately ordered to open fire, only by clearing these people as quickly as possible, the reinforced troops could quickly arrive on the battlefield and hold the south bank.

......A burst of gunfire rang out, and the terrified Japanese army broke down immediately, and in the confusion, they could only jump into the river and try to swim to the opposite bank.

Seeing this situation, the officers at the bridgehead couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then they had to order their subordinates to speed up and rush to the front to join the battle. At this time, several explosions of "boom ......" sounded on the side, and then, the gunfire in front was loud, and I don't know when the machine guns came out in the darkness ahead, and after a burst of intensive strafing, a large part of the pontoon bridge immediately fell.

In order to facilitate the passage of troops, the pontoon bridge is lit with a lot of oil lamps to illuminate, in this case, these oil lamps have undoubtedly become the lifeline of these Japanese soldiers, under the illumination of the lights, the machine guns not far away can clearly see the situation here, the strafing of the machine guns can accurately hit the target to form a kill, just a few breaths of sleep, the Japanese soldiers here on the pontoon bridge will be killed and wounded.

With the passage of time, more and more places were captured on the south bank of the Chishi River, and the Japanese army was caught off guard by a battalion breaking into the position, which basically announced the loss of the position, and the counterattack and struggle at this moment were just a struggle before death. The troops of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army were certainly the elite of the Japanese army, but the opponent they faced was also the strongest fighting force in the national army.

With the passage of time, the strongholds everywhere were uprooted, and more and more Japanese troops also jumped into the river in a hurry to flee for their lives, fortunately, the weather in September and October was not bad, if it was a cold winter, I am afraid that these Japanese soldiers would simply be frozen to death in the river. Thinking about the beastly behavior of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in Nanjing City, the bestial behavior when killing civilians, and now fleeing for their lives in such a mess, it can be regarded as their own retribution in the dark.

The people who were watching the battle from a distance listened to the news from the front, and they couldn't help but be in high spirits, and they were excited, especially Shen Qingyun, this was the first time he was on the front line of the battlefield to participate in the battle, although he did not personally go into battle to fight, but he had been following the stone, and every order given by the stone was clear, which benefited him a lot.

The battle of the army is completely different from the battle between their military commander and the intelligence personnel of the Japanese army, and they hide from each other and try to dodge as much as possible, the army fights, pay attention to the dignified head-to-head duel, pay attention to the face-to-face bloody battle, the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, in this kind of short-handed bloody battle, the bloody bravery of the soldiers, is also the key factor in whether or not the battle can be won, just standing behind the battlefield and listening to the dense gunfire in front of him, listening to the earth-shattering shouts and killing, he has a feeling of blood and blood.

One can imagine how tenacious the nerves and wills of these soldiers who have been fighting on the front line! In particular, the momentum formed by facing death countless times is even more terrifying. It was only at this time that he could realize that Shishi, the young head of the regiment, could have today's status, which was really a miraculous existence. No wonder ordinary people are terrified and restless in the face of the censorship of the military commanders, but the stone has been calm and abnormal from beginning to end, as if he has not taken this matter to heart at all.

Zhang Lingfu on the side saw that the general trend ahead had been decided, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Stone, you kid is too powerful, you dare to fight this kind of battle, and you still fight so beautifully, your independent regiment should really be a model of noble soldiers and not too many!" ”

Shishi's face was a little calmer than before, but he still looked like an ancient well, and when he heard Zhang Lingfu speak, he immediately replied: "Brother Zhang, it's just a fluke by mistake." In fact, this battle is thanks to Station Commander Shen, if he hadn't said that the devils might have detected the radio contact between us and knew our deployment, I'm afraid we would have stayed where we were and waited for the 57th Division to come and converge before launching an attack, in that case, by the time we arrived here, the little devils would have been ready for a long time, and it was really impossible to win this battle. Now it seems that Stationmaster Shen's guess is very likely to be true, we can take the Japanese army by surprise in this battle, and it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the next battle. ”

Zhang Lingfu said with a smile: "How to win this battle is something that the upper peaks worry about, you and I are just commanding a division and a regiment, in a battle of this scale, at best, we can be regarded as pawns crossing the river, what else can we do?" The most urgent task at the moment is to report our inferences and the battle situation to the military headquarters, so that the various units will not continue to be targeted by the Japanese army and there will be no further big losses. As long as we can stabilize our position and hit the devils a few times like just now, the whole situation will be reversed, after all, although the Japanese army is strong, it has always been inferior in terms of strength, and once the loss of too many troops will shake their foundation. ”

The stone immediately nodded in agreement, and at this time, there was a shouting and neighing of war horses in the distance, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
