With the loss of one tank, the Japanese had a significant reduction in their combat capability and had to charge with infantry.

The previous machine gun fire point was knocked out by the Japanese army, and there were still some light machine guns left on the second platoon position, which was more than enough to deal with the Japanese devil infantry, although the veteran was dead, but the squad leaders were still there, and they inherited the will of the veteran and began to arrange the means to deal with the Japanese devil infantry.

The machine gun fire point formed a cross fire, the combat ability of the little Japanese devils was terrifying, and there were grenadiers, and they also arranged a lot of soldiers around the machine gun fire points to keep an eye on the grenadiers of the Japanese devils.

From a distance, a violent explosion was heard.

The deafening roar set off a thousand layers of huge waves in the flat housing area, wave after wave, rolling continuously.

"It must be the company commander who did it, brothers, work hard!"

Before the old man and the monkey had recovered from the death of the veteran, they were dragged and ran behind.

The infantry of the Japanese devils came up, and if you look closely, there are more than 100 people, and there is not much left of their second platoon, which is not the opponent of these Japanese devils, but the explosion in the other direction is very loud, and the gunfire is not small, it is a platoon of the remaining troops who are fighting with the Japanese devils, and the company commander is also there.

They believed that the company commander would be able to deal with the enemy in the other direction, and they just needed to hold out long enough.

However, the earthen wall in front of them shattered, smoke and dust drifted up, and a tank rushed out of the rubble, the tracks crushed the rubble on the ground and the severed limbs of the corpses, and the black barrels of guns were facing the sky and pressed horizontally, startling the soldiers of the second platoon in a panic.

"Tanks, the Japanese devils still have a tank!"

"Their infantry rushed over."

"The platoon commander is dead, we can't back down, fight!"

The remaining soldiers of the second platoon began to block layer by layer, but in order to take the position, the Japanese devils invested a lot of troops, and the tanks were even more put into two, and the heavy machine guns above the tanks continued to spray muzzle flames, and all the soldiers of the national army who resisted in front of the tanks were suppressed by the heavy machine gun fire of the tanks.

The Japanese infantry was like a black river, following the Japanese tanks and surging like a torrent.

"Blew up the Japanese devil tank!"

The soldiers of the second platoon realized that if they did not blow up the Japanese tanks, then their infantry would be able to follow the tanks all the way to the bank of the river, and then the position would cease to exist.

Soon, under the spontaneous organization, a group of people formed a death squad, who tied cluster grenades to themselves and hid them in the ruins of the path where the Japanese tanks had to pass.

"Let's go!"

The dog baby pulled the old man Wang and the monkey back to retreat.

Old man Wang and the monkey kept turning their heads to look.

They couldn't see the situation on the front line, but from the fierce fighting and the deafening roar, they could also judge that those who stayed behind had chosen to fight desperately with the Japanese devils, and the sound of gunfire and rumble set off huge waves behind them.

Sou.

A cannonball dragged out a long arc, and with a bang, it pierced into a house on their retreat road, and in an instant, the house that had not yet collapsed was swallowed up by the Japanese artillery fire, and collapsed with a bang, and the shock wave generated swept the three of them away and fell heavily to the ground.

The gunfire behind him intensified, and the Japanese devil's tank began to fire indiscriminately, dragging the shells in a long arc, and with a bang, they plunged into the ruins, and the rubble and dirt were rolled up.

"I'll go see what's going on!"

The dog baby felt that the gunshots behind him were getting smaller and smaller, and he didn't want to believe it, but the current situation was no longer whether he wanted to believe it or not.

Carrying a gun, the dog baby cautiously touched the back, and just ran out more than 30 meters, a cannonball dragged a long tail flame, and devoured the dog baby with a bang.

The old man Wang and the monkey stared blankly at the rolled up dirt, with a black and red color, and the two of them were stunned.

The dog baby with them was killed by a Japanese devil's tank.

The two of them were dumbfounded, more incredulous.

The sky was getting darker.

Most of the day when the newly formed company arrived at the front line to fight ended in such a fighting style.

But the attack of the Japanese devils was not over, they heard the sound of the Japanese devils' tanks crushing the ground, and with a slight shaking of the ground, the Japanese tanks were not solved, and the people of the two factions were estimated to be almost dead.

"Monkey, let's go."

In addition to being frightened, Old Man Wang immediately reacted, screamed, and prepared to escape with the monkey.

One of the monkey's legs was broken, he walked with a limp, it was difficult to run fast, he threw the grenade on the ground, wanting to increase his running speed, but the broken leg didn't use his strength, the old man Wang was supporting, and he couldn't run fast, and both of them were anxious.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out behind them, getting closer and closer to them.

The Japanese devils caught up.

"Are they dead?"

Old man Wang couldn't hold back the horror in his heart, turned his head to take a look, and was almost frightened.

Several Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms, carrying guns, were chasing them, and these Japanese soldiers ran and shot as they went, and the bullets hit the ruins behind them.

The monkey couldn't run, and the broken leg was badly injured, and the blood was bleeding non-stop.

"Old man Wang, you run, I can't run away." The monkey's face showed despair: "We ran all the way, but we didn't run out, and we still stayed on the position." ”

"What!" Old man Wang hated iron and scolded angrily: "Get up and keep running." ”

"I can't run, I really can't run, the big guy is right, we should pick up the gun and fight the Japanese devils, it's not okay to run." The monkey's face showed calmness: "Run, where can you run?" ”

Groping around his body, he found three grenades.

"Old man Wang, you run first, I'll stay and cut off for you."

"Stinky boy."

Old man Wang lay on the ground, cautiously poked out half of his head to look, and his face showed joy: "They are not dead yet, look, there are still people fighting Japanese devils." ”

Rumble! A grenade fell in the ruins in front of him, and the exploding dirt and rubble flew everywhere, Old Man Wang carefully observed, and after looking at it for a while, he saw that the Japanese devils were attracted by the gunfire on the side, and the people fighting were not dead yet, they were still resisting.

But then came a wave of fear, and from between the shattered rubble and the rubble, a long cannon barrel protruded.

Tanks of the Japanese devils.

This Iron King can't even blow up a grenade.

Old man Wang saw that there was a soldier hidden in the ruins in front of him, and he was still tied to a grenade, and the Japanese devil's tank was approaching, he jumped out of the ruins and rushed to the Japanese devil's tank, and the two Japanese devil's infantry found him and screamed, and the bullets hit the soldier with a pop.

When he rushed to the distance of seven or eight meters from the Japanese devil tank, he fell down and lay on the ground.

Seeing that he was not dead and still panting, the soldier grabbed the ground with his hands, crawled forward, and watched him clench his fists hard.

It seemed to feel the passage of life, and there was a loud bang.

He pulled the grenade on his body, and the black-red dirt rolled up and fell on the Japanese tank.

From the broken street, another soldier of the national army rushed out, as before, the Japanese devils were already prepared, seeing this soldier, the heavy machine gun on the tank opened fire, and they all strafed it, and the large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets penetrated the soldier's body.

The bullet was so powerful that it hit the person, directly emptying the person's stomach, and you can see the ruins on the other side from this side.

The veteran looked frightened, but more angry.

These soldiers all came out of Jiading, many of them still know each other, they have talked on the road, they are all going to chase the big one, fight with the big one, he also bragged, told them that he knew the big one, came out of a village.

These soldiers all looked at them with envious eyes, and some soldiers would ask, if a village came out and the god of war fought so hard, would they be as powerful as the god of war.

And now, on the battlefield, these soldiers are sent to death one by one, much braver than him.

Old man Wang watched the soldier's body being broken, retracted helplessly, held the grenade on his body, looked at the desperate monkey beside him, his brain was confused, he didn't know what he was thinking, seeing so many people die, the previous fear, to now, there is no fluctuation, it seems that death is just like that.

He even had the idea of using a grenade on his body to blow up the Japanese devil tank.

This thought startled Old Man Wang.

He sat on the ground, the expression on his face tangled.

"Old man Wang, you run quickly, if you don't run, you won't be able to run away." The monkey pressed the broken leg with one hand, and the grenade in his arms with the other, and heard the roar of the Japanese devil's tank, which was getting closer and closer to their hiding place, and the monkey began to feel anxious, and the Japanese devil's tank was getting closer and closer.

The roar grew closer to where the two of them were hiding.

The monkey turned his head, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't see the figure of the old man Wang, and quickly stood up, and found that the old man Wang actually touched the root of the low wall in front of him, he was immediately anxious, and the Japanese devil's tank pressed along the broken street, and he opened his mouth in a hurry, and saw that the Japanese devil in the khaki military uniform was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't do it in a hurry.

Old man Wang moved, the Japanese devil's tank approached, and the little devil didn't find him, a few Japanese devils touched forward along the ruins on both sides, roughly centered on the tank, the old man Wang hid in the corner, and suddenly rushed out, don't look at his age, but he is not slow at all.

After a few breaths, he ran to a distance of five or six meters from the Japanese devil tank, and the Japanese devil found that Old Man Wang appeared on the flank of the tank, and the machine gun could not hit, and when the infantry fired, it was too late, and the bullet hit Old Man Wang in the abdomen and knocked him to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the monkey's eyes were cracked, the pain in his thighs stimulated him, and the infantry of the Japanese devils made him vigilant, biting his lip with his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound.

He stared at Old Man Wang.

Old man Wang was shot, lying on the ground, still squirming, the monkey felt like he knew old man Wang for the first time, he had never seen old man Wang like this, and was shocked by old man Wang.

Is this still the old man Wang who is greedy for life and afraid of death he knows?

The tank ran over the rubble on the ground and crushed it into powder, and the old man Wang fell five or six meters away from the tank.

"Ahh

Old man Wang climbed forward two meters, the tank pressed his arm, crushed his arm into pulp, the bones broke into powder, the old man Wang's forehead was covered with fine sweat, his face was hideous, he didn't want to think about it, he dragged the grenade on his body with his other hand, and pulled it away hard.

Feeling the sound of the grenade under him, Old Man Wang suddenly felt relaxed.

Bang.

A bundle of grenades gathered together, and the force formed easily destroyed the tracks of the tank. The metal hit, the tracks of the tank broke, and it was impossible to move forward.

The huge shock also shook the three Japanese infantry behind the tank to the ground, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

The monkey's eyes widened, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Wang, old man Wang."

It was getting dark.

The battle is over.

The Japanese army has not yet captured the position of the newly formed company, but through the news transmitted by the signal corps of the 90th Army, the defenders' positions in other directions along the Dijing coast have basically fallen, which means that the positions along the entire Dijing River that are still in the hands of the national army are left, and only the positions occupied by the newly formed companies remain.

Their results were also quite impressive.

Eliminated two squadrons of the Japanese army, blew up five medium tanks, captured a large number of guns and ammunition and Japanese grenadiers, light machine guns.

However, after several rounds of frantic attacks and bombardments by the Japanese army, only one squad of soldiers remained in the newly formed company.

This position, like a little star in the night, has become the only piece of pure land among the Japanese positions of the 90th Division stationed along the Dijing River.

Knowing that the casualties of the new company were huge, the 90th Division sent reinforcements that night, quietly crossed the river through the river beach, arrived at the opposite bank, and joined the new company.

While Xia Yuan arranged the wounded, he began to prepare for defense.

The newly reinforced troops are only a company, more than 120 people, the weapons and equipment are quite good, each person has a rifle, and three light machine guns, the ammunition is still sufficient, Xia Yuan captured a large number of weapons and equipment, which shocked these Cantonese army brothers, especially when they heard that they had eliminated more than 400 enemies, including five tanks, and they were even more shocked and speechless.

Communication was a bit difficult, but their goals were the same.

The Yuejun brothers gave Xia Yuanbi a thumbs up, Xia Yuanle responded, arranged the wounded, found the remains of the victims, and borrowed some people from the Yuejun brothers, and buried the body in the ruins on the spot.

He lit a cigarette, handed it to the monkey, and said, "The dead are the greatest, so I won't talk about Old Man Wang, but before he died, he made me admire." ”

The monkey took the cigarette tremblingly, he was no longer as naughty and active as before, but a little heavier, he asked, "Big, you have died so many people, don't you feel distressed?" ”

Xia Yuan was stopped by these words, he smoked a cigarette, squinted his eyes, let out a long breath, and said: "Distressed, it's normal to die in war, no one won't live forever, and I'm no exception, it's just that compared to most people, I'm lucky." ”

He finished his cigarette in one gulp, threw it on the ground, watched the cigarette end fade, and took a long puff.

"They all used their lives to blow up the Japanese devil tanks, if you could have arrived earlier, they wouldn't have died, including the second platoon leader." The monkey looked up at Xia Yuan: "The second platoon commander didn't let us die, and in the end, it was Old Man Wang who blew up the Japanese devil's tank by himself, if it weren't for Old Man Wang, the position would have been lost long ago." ”

"I know, I asked the second platoon commander to do this, he did a good job, I just hope that when he leaves, he won't blame me."

"You!" The monkey's eyes widened, "You didn't even think about letting us die?" ”

"Thought."

"Then why are you?"

"Why don't you just let you go to death with Old Man Wang? Heh, you two don't have any combat experience, you just rushed up and died in vain, I only told the veteran and let him teach you how to fight. ”

"But he used his life to die with the Japanese devils."

"He's doing a great job."

Xia Yuan touched the pocket on his clothes, took out a bullet, pinched it in his hand, looked at the pit dug by the soldiers, and the buried corpse, he stepped forward and put the bullet next to a corpse, so that the bullet would sink into the ground along with the corpse of the newly formed company soldiers.

"He didn't have to do this, he was a platoon commander."

"It's because he's a platoon commander that he's doing this." Xia Yuan didn't want to argue with the monkey about such a meaningless thing, the battlefield was bound to have bloodshed and sacrifice, when the Japanese devils used tanks, he already knew it in his heart, but he didn't expect that the veteran would be the forerunner and set an example for the soldiers in the second platoon.

The veteran followed him, and it is estimated that he has long had such thoughts.

He recalled that the veteran often held a gun, sat on a stone and smoked, and looked fixedly into the distance.

Walking to the monkey's side, Xia Yuan stopped: "The Japanese devils invaded China, tens of millions of people had to die, and the ratio of our war losses to the Japanese army was seven to one, and we had to kill seven people to kill the Japanese devils alone. ”

He looked at the monkey: "This kind of battle loss ratio is obtained by me, a veteran, Niu Qian, and the soldiers of the newly formed company who sacrificed in exchange, and the Japanese devils will have to pay the price if they want to take down our position." ”

Xia Yuan dropped this sentence and left.

Di Jing's battle is meaningless.

Yes, as long as it is a battle to stop the Japanese army, it is meaningful.

The goal of the Battle of Songhu was to delay the Japanese devils' attack and pull them into the quagmire.

Whether it is the central army or the local miscellaneous army, their goal is the same.

The same is true for new companies.

Even if the Japanese devils would eventually occupy the banks of the Dijing River, as long as they were delayed for one day, it would be a one-day victory.

What's more, if the Japanese army wants to take down the position of the newly formed company, it will have to pay huge sacrifices.

Just southeast of Luodian, the battle entered the white-hot stage.

The reinforcements of the Japanese army have also arrived in the Songhu battlefield, and the strength of the Japanese army in the Songhu battlefield has reached the size of five divisions and regiments, nearly 100,000 people.

Due to the line from Luodian to Jiading, the Japanese 11th Division could not be attacked for a long time, and Matsui Ishine decided to change direction.

His next plan is to carry out a surprise attack from north to south along the Hutai Highway as the main axis, achieve a breakthrough between Nanxiang and Jiangwan, and then take Dachang and the north bank of Suzhou Creek in the Shanghai-listed area.

This plan is the 'central breakthrough', concentrating superior forces and firepower, from one point, into the defensive front of the national army, and then blossoming everywhere in the center.

The first thing the Japanese army faced was to forcibly cross the Fumohama.

Fumohama.

The brutal Battle of Fumohama is about to begin.

When Xia Yuan held on to Dijing, the reinforcements of the three divisions of the Japanese army came one after another, and the first to rush to the Songhu battlefield was the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, followed by the 9th Division of the Japanese Army.

Twenty-three days.

The sky was covered with black clouds.

The Japanese 11th Division continued to attack southeast of Luodian, and Xia Yuan's Dijing position was the first to be bombed by the Japanese.

The incendiary bomb fell among the ruins along the Dijing River and burned violently.

A new round of combat began.

The monkey who experienced the death of the old man Wang also began to pick up the gun and fight with the Japanese devils, although he was a new soldier and had not been on the battlefield much, but he had seen the previous tragic battles, and the old man Wang wanted to let him survive, but he was holding a grenade to blow up the Japanese devil tank.

When the monkey arrived on the battlefield, he carried a ruthless energy, which made him not feel afraid when facing the Japanese devils on the battlefield.

On the position held by the 11th Division, there was a house with white-painted walls, which the Japanese army called the 'House of White Walls'.

The attacking Japanese army used a large number of combat vehicles, tanks, infantry, and artillery to bombard and attack the Baibi House in turn, but they were unable to take the White Wall House.

The Japanese troops who attacked the White Wall House also found that the bullets used by the Chinese troops who held on to the White Wall House had caused great damage to the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops at first believed that the Nationalist troops had used dummy bullets.

The dummy bullet is a kind of bullet made by the British, also known as "flowering bullet", "grenade shotgun", and "deformation bullet", which is a kind of "expansion" bullet that does not have penetrating power but has extremely high and shallow lethality.

Later, the Japanese captured some bullets carried on the soldiers of the Nationalist army before solving the mystery.

It turned out that when the soldiers of the Chinese army were fighting, they found that the range of the Chinese rifle was not as good as that of the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle, and the range could not be compared, so some veterans began to compare the lethality with the Japanese devils, and they grinded the bullet on the stone to create a sand surface, and after the bullet entered the body, it would turn over and expand the wound and killing range.

It seems that the soldiers of the national army used their own wisdom, but in fact it is quite sad, as a large agricultural country, it is still a chaotic and turbulent era, the national defense industry can not keep up, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese army, so they have to adopt this method.
