Chapter 364: Fierce Battles, Wait for the Day to Move Forward
Meng was annoyed and was lying on the artillery mirror to observe the situation in front of the position, and suddenly felt that someone behind him stabbed him in the back with his hand.
"Annoying! It's a little wrong, I found a lot of small Toyo on the front side! โ
When I turned my head, it turned out that it wasn't spicy, and this guy was covered in mud, like yam eggs dug out of the ground
"Don't stab you, I saw it!"
Meng slapped his hand away angrily, rubbing his chin and thinking about what to do next.
It seemed that this wave of Japanese attacks was inevitable, and the remaining few hundred people in their hands were completely unsure of holding their positions.
"It's not spicy, how many mines do we have left?"
"Not much, but there are quite a few explosive packs and grenades."
"As soon as the shelling stops, the Japanese should come up, you let the brothers bury all the mines in the position, as well as explosives and grenades, all of them will be made into trick mines for me, and leave them a big meal!" Meng was annoyed and commanded in a deep voice.
"Huh? Then we're going to give up our positions? He looked at him puzzled.
"How can you be brainless in a war, we have been grinding with the Japanese on the position for more than three days, and it's time to move the nest."
โฆโฆ
Ten minutes later, the Japanese artillery fire gradually thinned out and completely stopped, and the Japanese soldiers, who had been waiting in front of the position for a long time, launched a charge with shouts.
The theoretical safety boundary of infantry artillery coordination is generally about 150~300 meters, and the boundary of large-caliber howitzers is greater, because it is necessary to prevent damage from shrapnel and shock waves and the error of the impact point of artillery shells.
But on the battlefield, it is often impossible to be so accurate, and even some elite troops dare to let the infantry enter within 100 meters of the shelling range, and charge alive against the shells.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese who were in a hurry often did this kind of thing, and after the shelling began, they let their infantry get as close to the enemy's position as possible, not caring about the life or death of the infantry, how close and how close they could be, and even Japanese soldiers rushed into a range of 50 meters under their own artillery fire.
However, the deterrent effect on the enemy is quite huge, and the soldiers in the position are often still in a state of being blown up by the shells, and before they can react after the shelling is over, they are strangled by the opponent's rush into the position.
Kikuchi was determined to devote almost all his troops, and his purpose was to take advantage of the fatigue of the Chinese people to take the position of Twin Peaks Mountain in one fell swoop.
After the charge was launched, it was very smooth, and the Japanese soldiers in the vanguard rushed into the position without much effort, and to their surprise, there was not a single Chinese in the position.
"Rhonda? What's going on? โ
"Watch out! Spread out! โ
Rumble!
Before entering the position, someone won the jackpot, and an explosive bag with a companion line was detonated, and the steel balls and iron nails wrapped in it flew everywhere, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown up beyond recognition on the spot.
The two-kilogram TNT explosives were no joke, and the blast wave covered a radius of fifty meters, leaving no one in the range of humanoids.
This explosion seemed to have caused a chain reaction, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers hurriedly looked around for cover, but in the panic, they inevitably stepped on the thunder again, and for a time there were explosions on the position, and the scene mixed with the screams of the little devils became extremely chaotic.
At this time, Meng was tired and had already retreated to the front of the Lashio military camp with his soldiers, and continued to arrange the defensive line along the mountains on both sides.
The warriors had been fighting for three days and three nights, and everyone was so tired and tired that they had not slept for more than three hours, and even there was a shortage of food, and they were almost all at the end of their lives.
But there is no way, Lashio must be defended, otherwise everything that has been paid from the beginning and so many soldiers sacrificed will be in vain.
The mine array on the Twin Peaks Mountain did not stop the Japanese army for too long, and the little devil did not dare to take his life to explore the way after paying the price of dozens of casualties, and instead made a detour from the side, although it took a lot of time, but at least it was safe.
"Report! There are Japanese stragglers on the right flank! โ
"Report! A large number of little devils have been found in the southwest, and they are attacking our department! โ
โฆโฆ
Before they could catch their breath, the report from the front raised everyone's hearts to their throats again, and the fighters endured physical exhaustion and entered their respective posts.
"Haven't you contacted the dragon article yet?"
"Report to the head of the regiment, the radio did not find their signal."
"His uncle's death, death, where is this grandson now!?" Meng was so angry that he scolded his mother, constantly cursing someone who disappeared.
Bu La touched the empty ammunition bag, there was not a single grenade on his body, he took out the only dozen or so bullets left, looked at them, shook his head and silently took off the bayonet and put it on the rifle.
"Who still has 6.5 bullets there, give Lao Tzu a little even!"
"No."
"Will you give you three?"
"you! Three is also easy to say? โ
โฆโฆ
The dragon went around begging for ammunition with an empty machine gun magazine, but where would he get ammunition at this time, and at the moment everyone had less than ten rounds left in their pockets on average.
This is already their last inventory, and they have to face the next difficult battle, and everyone seems to be so powerless.
The careful Meng was annoyed and found the clue, if this kind of emotion was allowed to spread, the morale of the entire army would slowly fade, and maybe the collapse would only be in an instant at that time, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
"Brothers! I just received news that the reinforcements assigned by the Senza have arrived on the outskirts of Lashio, and as long as we hold on for a few more hours, the little devil will have to run away! โ
"I know you are very tired, but everyone must understand how difficult it is for us to get to this point, and it is all in exchange for the lives of countless comrades."
"If nothing else, for the sake of those brothers who died in battle, we also have to kill a few more Japanese dwarfs to avenge them!"
Meng was annoyed and shouted to boost morale, but most of the soldiers still looked at him expressionlessly, their expressions numb and trance, as for whether they believed it or not, only they knew.
In fact, yesterday the telegraph and communications corps was blown to pieces, and even the only telegraph machine was destroyed, and now he has no idea whether the support has arrived.
Judging from the current situation, the first main force has been disabled, and there are less than 500 of the 2,000-strong team left, and there are still more than 100 wounded people lying behind and their lives are uncertain.
In fact, those who have survived until now are battlefield veterans who have experienced countless battles, needless to say, they all know what the outcome will be next, but people are more or less willing to believe in hope, even if this hope is so slim.
Thinking of this, Meng couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sourness, how could he not be holding a trace of luck, but in the end he still couldn't wait for support, could it... Did Senza really give up on them?
Damn, die or die! Meng was annoyed, took off his military hat and threw it on the ground, looked at the people with different expressions in front of him, and shouted again with righteous indignation:
"If any of you want to leave, I won't stop you, if you choose to stay, I will admire it ten thousand! But you have to understand one thing, I will only die in front of you when I am bored, and I will never run in front of you! โ
The soldiers were all a little moved by these words, and were silent for a moment... One of them, a veteran who looked to be in his forties, walked out with a pestle and gave a silent military salute.
originally thought that he was the first person to want to escape, but he didn't expect him to say sonorously:
"Don't talk about the head of the regiment, in fact, we all know... Don't worry, there are no bad breeds here who are afraid of death, only veterans of the Sichuan Army who died in battle! โ
Although there are not many words, the words are heartwarming, and from his eyes, he seems to be able to see the unyielding fire that burns, which also represents the will of most of the warriors present.
"Yes! Don't come to the head, it's a big deal to cross the bridge again. โ
"Humph! Whoever wants to run first asks me if the machine gun in my hand will answer! โ
"If you want to go, you go, anyway, I, Zhang Laoliu, will definitely not run ......"
"The regiment has not lost a single battle since it was formed, and this time is no exception! The devil wants our life, so he has to find a good tooth! โ
Hearing the heartfelt words of the soldiers, Meng felt that his eyes were a little moist.
Even in the most difficult moments, it is necessary for the soldiers to work together to meet the difficulties, even if they die and never take half a step back, this is the greatest spirit of the Chinese nation.
"Good! There are brothers, even if you die, what are you afraid of? How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are with your son! Meng raised his arms and shouted, at this time the morale of the group had reached its peak.
"How can you be without clothes, and you will be with your son!!"
โฆโฆโฆ
Kikuchi thought that he would be able to sit back and relax after taking the position of Twin Peaks, but when he knew that the enemy not only did not run but continued to fortify behind the mountain, he almost vomited blood in anger, why were these Chinese people so able to resist?
Kikuchi immediately ordered the troops to reorganize their forces, and also sent Chief of Staff Kimura to personally rush to the front line to direct the battle, which will surely wipe out this group of sick men in East Asia who do not know the height of the sky.
"ๆฎบใใพใ!"
The short lull soon passed, and the Japanese did not give Meng much time to prepare, and the two sides once again engaged in a fierce battle.
Because of the Twin Peaks in front, the Japanese artillery could not be used for the time being, which could be regarded as giving a regiment of soldiers a little respite.
However, even so, the battle situation was still severe, and the lack of ammunition made them have to put the little devils within fifty meters before shooting, which also made their own personnel greatly exposed to the eyes of the enemy, and the cost of casualties was very heavy.
Meng was bored and could only take the soldiers to fight and retreat, using the terrain as a roundabout space, and even risking death to pick up the guns and ammunition on the corpses of the devils.
At half past two in the afternoon, the two hillsides in front of the barracks were cleared by the Japanese army, and Meng was annoyed and had no choice but to retreat to the Lashio warehouse...
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the position of the Lashio warehouse was lost, and Bu Lai was injured by a Japanese grenade, in order to avoid the risk of being surrounded, Meng was annoyed and retreated to the area of the railway station with the remnants again to continue to deal with the Japanese army...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bullets in the team were almost completely exhausted, and the soldiers had no choice but to start a brutal white-knuckle battle with the little devil, and the dragon was also stabbed in the ribs during the battle...
At this time, Long Wenwen finally appeared with dozens of people, and they broke through the Japanese army from the flank, and the little devils in the attack couldn't care about each other, and finally had no choice but to retreat again.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary, the Japanese still have a large superiority in forces, and the next wave of attacks will come soon.
The two groups of people converged here, quickly cleaned the battlefield and collected ammunition, Meng was annoyed and found that Long Wen's situation was not very good, and the original strength of a company was only sixty or seventy people left, and most of them were wounded, and there were not many bullets.
Originally, Long Wenwen planned to quietly take people to the headquarters of Duan Devil when Meng was tired of pinning down the main force of the Japanese army head-on, but although the experienced Kikuchi sent most of the troops, he still left an infantry squadron and logistics auxiliary troops by his side, and at a cursory glance, there were at least four or five hundred people accompanying him.
Long Wenwen realized that it would be difficult to successfully implement the beheading plan with the dozens of exhausted and ammunition remnants around him, so he decisively abandoned the operation and turned back to support.
Towards six o'clock, the last remaining group of more than 200 people was huddled in the southwest corner of the train station, and dozens of wounded were lying in a warehouse where supplies were stored.
The Japanese army slowly surrounded the train station, they knew that this group of Chinese people was just a turtle in an urn, so they did not rush to attack, and even began to persuade them to surrender like cats playing with rats.
"The Chinese people inside listened well, and immediately laid down their arms and surrendered to the Imperial Japanese Army! Only then will you have a chance to live! โ
A Japanese soldier with a duck voice was shouting to the station with a loudspeaker, and the soldiers were extremely disgusted, and they felt sick to listen to this half-baked Chinese.
"I repeat, lay down your arms and surrender immediately, or you'll all have to ......"
"Bump!"
The gunshot rang out, the duck's throat stopped abruptly, the Japanese soldier's head tilted, his eyes widened and he went to see Aunt Amaterasu unwillingly, he really didn't expect that he was hiding in such a hidden place in the corner and was actually shot in the head.
With one blow, Zhang Liu, who was on the roof in the distance, sneered and immediately turned over.
There is a chance to live, I believe you have a ghost... Everyone understands people, and the virtues of the little devils who don't know the same thoughts, if they really surrender, what awaits them will only be a more cruel hell.
"Hey, hey, I'm annoying, Xiao Dongyang shouted surrender..."
The weak and not spicy lay on the sandbag with his head back, and at this time he did not forget to talk nonsense with a hippie smile.
One of his legs was cut by shrapnel, and although it had been bandaged with gauze, the red blood still seeped through the gauze little by little.
"I said that you don't have to say a few words, and the foot bar doesn't hurt?" The person on the side scolded angrily, but at this last moment, he did not hesitate to choose to stay by his good brother's side.
"If you want to be numb, go find a grenade for me, I won't be able to take care of it after a while, do you want it?"
It's not spicy or that grinning look,
