Chapter 128: Bloody Battle

Yang Xing God of War, he was not interested in such a name.

However, the name of the god of war has indeed increased the confidence of many soldiers to fight against the Japanese army and boosted their morale.

Reinforcements, routs, are rushing to Fumohama.

The strength of the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu has reached three divisions, and the 11th Division is still entrenched in Luodian, and the flesh mill is not over, it is still devouring the young life of every soldier who arrives in Luodian.

The 9th Division reinforced the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army and launched an attack on Yang Xing.

It was the 101st Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Fumohama, and the 101st Division was not a first-class division, and its configuration was far from keeping up with the first-class division, so in the battle of Fumohama, the Japanese 101st Division suffered heavy casualties.

When I got close to Fumohama, I heard the sound of cannonballs devouring the earth from a long distance, and the ground beneath my feet trembled slightly.

The reinforcements were quickly pulled into battle by the commanders above, and the rout was still gathered by some of the troops who had been defeated from the battlefield and began to repair in the rear.

In the past few days of fighting, Xia Yuan was physically and mentally tired, and he was very tired from the journey, and when he arrived at the front line, he took a short rest and threw himself into the battle of Fuzaobang.

In October, the autumn breeze in Shanghai is getting colder.

From the urban area to the outskirts of the city, the tug-of-war between the positions of China and Japan has been going on for more than a month.

Fuzaobang is a river across the road from Yanghang to Dachang, the river is not wide, but it is indeed the focus of contention between China and Japan. Xia Yuan was stunned, lying motionless in a ruin, and for a day, the rain dripped down from the broken beams and fell in front of the two of them.

The second stunned person used a kettle to catch the dripping rainwater.

Xia Yuan took out two boxes of canned food, threw a box to the second stunned man, opened the canned food and ate it, the mouth of the canned food was smooth and salty, and it needed to be eaten with rice, and the taste of dry food was not very good.

They are drenched in rain, their body temperature is lost quickly, and their physical exertion is huge, so they need to eat some food to warm their bodies.

Among the ruins around them, there were many corpses in the streets, and the corpses were very eye-catching, and they had already seen this scene strangely, there were more corpses in Luodian Town than in front of them, and when they held on to the east bank of the Dijing River, there were bones, broken flesh and broken limbs everywhere.

If you see it a lot, you actually get used to it.

The bones belonged to Chinese soldiers, bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery, and none of them were intact, and each skeleton was soaked in the icy rain.

The two of them ate canned food, listened to the intertwined music of guns and cannons in front of them, and asked in a daze: "Company commander, are we going to fight Japanese devils here?" ”

"I'll take a look before I speak."

The Japanese army began to attack from the north to the south, and they changed their battle plan again, not stubbornly attacking Luodian, but the Japanese 11th Division continued to attack Luodian, the 9th and 3rd Divisions attacked Yanghang, and the 101st Division attacked Fuzaobang.

The Japanese 101st Division attacking Fumohama was under tremendous pressure, after all, Fumohama was the second line of defense of the Chinese army, and its strength was extremely heavy.

The Japanese army's initial offensive policy was to seize Luodian, attack Jiading, cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railway, and cut off the national army's troop transport route and retreat route.

The national army has gained insight into the thoughts of the Japanese army, so it has hoarded some heavy troops in Taicang, that is, in the direction of Taicang north of Jiading.

"Company commander, you see, it's our people."

It was dark, and in the distance a long line of dragons came in the distance, moving deeper along the ruins, approaching their direction.

The soldiers of this team were dressed in tatters, with straw hats woven of hay on their heads, hats on their bodies, and straw sandals woven of straw on their feet, some of whom had no guns in their hands and machetes behind their backs, and some of them carried fire sticks instead of guns.

These soldiers were tall and thin, and the march was completely unformed, and the uniforms were tattered, and there were no decent weapons, and some soldiers even went to the battlefield with their bare hands.

Xia Yuan was attracted by this army and swept his eyes: "The situation of the two divisions in Yudi is better than that of this army. ”

When they arrived in Jiading, the troops issued bullets, and a recruit only issued ten bullets, ten bullets, which is quite a lot for many local armies, and many soldiers went to the battlefield, and the number of bullets did not exceed five.

A long line of dragons walked in front of them, and the equipment of this army was extremely poor, and the backward Hanyang-made ones used in Yudi were better than the burning sticks in their hands.

Xia Yuan had basically guessed where this force came from.

Wearing straw sandals, wearing a straw hat, wearing a hat, and backward weapons and equipment, but unable to withstand the crowd, spears, large knives, and burning sticks.

Sichuan Army.

At the time of leaving Sichuan, there were 3.5 million people.

When he returned to Sichuan, only 130,000 people remained.

In the general sense of the nation, the Sichuan people have never lost.

"Sichuan Army." Xia Yuan saw the Sichuan army for the first time, and was also shocked by this backward army, their backwardness is far more backward than that of Yudi, the troops in Yudi still have light and heavy machine guns, and although the weapons issued by the recruits are worn, they are still weapons and bullets.

The Sichuan army, as far as the eye can see, can not see a single light and heavy machine gun in the long queue, and some soldiers are carrying spears behind them, and they don't even have guns.

There is also a part of the carrying of a shotgun, that thing is black powder, the range is only more than ten meters, the lethality may not be more than ten meters away, maybe people stand at a position of ten meters, let you fight, may not be able to kill.

The lethality of black powder is really limited.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were also many grenades filled with black powder, which was as powerful as a larger artillery battle.

"Sichuan Army, company commander, is it Sichuan?" The second stunned man lay on the ground and looked at the troops passing in front of them, "Their weapons and equipment are too backward." ”

"yes." Xia Yuan said with emotion that such a team, when it arrives at the battle of Songhu, will not be long before it will be exhausted.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and patted the two stunned: "Let's go, let's follow." ”

The two of them followed the Sichuan army, intending to attack Fuzaohama with them.

"Brother, which unit are you from?" Brother Chuanjun, who looked at the two of them, opened his mouth to ask.

"Yudi, I was scattered by the Japanese devils, which unit are you?"

"Sichuan Army, Twentieth Army, Twenty-sixth Division."

"Where?"

"Ahead, what is it called Chen, Chen Jiaxing."

When the Sichuan army first came out of Sichuan, it was actually not welcomed, the Sichuan army was poorly equipped and poorly disciplined, and it was a ragtag army among the miscellaneous armies.

To what extent did their weapons lag behind, only a little bit of soldiers with better rifles, and the vast majority of soldiers used old sleeves, those with guns had no bullets, and even more had no guns, carrying homemade red tassel guns, and running to the battlefield with broadswords.

The Sichuan army can have such a name as it is now, completely with blood, life, and loyalty step by step.

The representative of this is none other than the 20th Army.

The 20th Army was the first batch of troops of the Sichuan Army to go out of Sichuan during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and its equipment was ridiculously poor.

In a dignified army, each regiment has only four mortars, the whole army does not have a single towed gun, each company has only two or three light machine guns, some companies have basically none, and the infantry squad cannot even afford rifles.

When the 20th Army had just arrived in Shanghai, Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Group Army, did not believe that it was a regular army at all.

The Sichuan Army, the Twentieth Army was led by Yang Sen, and their task was to counterattack Chen Jiaxing and Epiphany Temple on the north bank of Fuzaobang, these two positions had been occupied by the Japanese army, and the national army troops could not enter it.

The arrival of the Sichuan army was quite timely, and when they arrived at the Songhu battlefield on the same day, they were assigned a counterattack mission by their superiors.

Chenjiaxing and Epiphany Temple were the frontlines of the Fuzaobang War, and the elite infantry wing of the Japanese army was in this generation area.

Xue Yue sent this force up, not to say that the 20th Army was capable of fighting, but to use the 20th Army purely as a meat shield to consume the firepower and strength of the Japanese army.

It is the same as when he first came out of Yudi and first arrived in Songhu, the reason why the new barracks were sent to the battlefield.

The national army has cannon fodder, and the Japanese army also has cannon fodder.

The 101st Division of the Japanese Army, which is currently attacking Fuzaohama, is actually the cannon fodder of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, a first-class division.

That night, they quickly arrived on the south bank of Fumohama and prepared for a counterattack.

Xia Yuan passed through Yanghang from Luodian, participated in the bloody battle of Luodian, and fought the Yanghang blocking battle, the counterattack was the first time, and it was decided to follow the Japanese army of the Sichuan army to counterattack Chenjiaxing and Epiphany Temple that night.

A light rain was falling.

The sky was getting darker.

From the far distance there came a rumbling artillery fire, which lit up half of the sky, and a thin rain fell from the thick clouds in the sky and smashed on the hats of the troops of the Twentieth Army.

The bones on both sides of the road attracted the attention of many Sichuan soldiers, who watched quietly and moved forward cautiously.

Directly in front of them, the strength of a wing of the Japanese army occupied the front line of Chenjiaxing.

"Gua Wazi, what's it called?"

"Xia Yuan."

"Good name, from Yudi?"

"Hmm."

"Then you fought with the Japanese devils early, are the Japanese devils scary?"

"It's not scary, it's all one nose and two eyes, where is scary."

Xia Yuan chatted quietly with a few Sichuan army veterans, who followed the back of the team, stepping on the broken rubble and groping forward.

In the ranks of the Sichuan army, there are also some defeated soldiers who joined in on the road and wanted to fight with the Sichuan army, but the number was very small, many of these defeated soldiers came with deep hatred, and the defeated soldiers who did not have deep hatred and hatred would not follow the Sichuan army to the position, after all, the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army were too inferior, and it didn't look like a regular army all the time.

Many veterans will give preference to units that follow the regular army, such troops can fight, can kill Japanese devils, and are much more likely to survive.

At night, the national army did not launch a counteroffensive against Chen Jiaxing, which aroused the vigilance of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army sent scouts to go deep into the contact area between China and Japan to investigate.

Bang bang bang!

The two sides exchanged fire.

"Discovered!"

"Jap, Jap!"

There was a commotion in the quiet team all of a sudden, and there was a fierce gunfire in front, followed by the voice of the herald, and the originally orderly team advanced slowly, and suddenly became vigorous and resolute, and the Sichuan army with long guns and short cannons quickly rushed to the Japanese position.

"Quick, keep up!"

"Don't be left behind."

"Gua Wazi, follow me, the bullets of the little Japanese devil don't have long eyes."

"I saw the Japon."

Shout!

A flare dropped by a Japanese devil illuminates half the sky.

I saw that among the ruins, thousands of Sichuan army brothers stepped on the wet mud ground, and rushed towards the position of the Japanese devils in the ruins and fields.

A piece of black pressure.

"What's that, it looks so pretty."

"I don't know."

Da-da-da-da.

The machine guns of the Japanese devils went off.

The bright flares gradually extinguished, and the bright light that reflected half of the sky dimmed, and the bullets formed a long chain of fire, reaping the lives of the soldiers of the Sichuan army.

Xia Yuan watched, the Sichuan soldiers who rushed to the front were strafed by the machine gun fire of the Japanese devils and fell to the ground, as soon as they fell, the Sichuan troops attacking in the rear quickly crawled on the ground, they did not retreat, and used the surrounding bunkers to continue to attack the positions of the Japanese devils.

The soldiers of the Sichuan army are really not afraid of death, and death is not like it happened to them to them.

Xia Yuan saw that those soldiers of the Sichuan Army went forward one after another in order to blast the machine gun fire of the Japanese devils, and in just a few minutes, hundreds of people died under the machine gun fire of the Japanese devils.

"Pulled out the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devils."

"I can't hit it."

"Gua Wazi, look at it."

"You don't want to die?"

The shouts added to the confusion of the ranks.

"Two stunned, let's go!"

Xia Yuan followed the crowd and kept rushing forward, and when the people in front fell, the people in the rear rushed up.

Crowded, chaotic.

At their feet were the corpses of the Sichuan army brothers, some of whom had just fallen down not long ago, and the corpses were still warm, but soon the corpses became cold, and they were still wearing shabby military uniforms and straw sandals on their feet.

Some people don't even have decent weapons and equipment, and use cold weapons such as spears and broadswords.

Their fearless spirit infected Xia Yuan.

Chen Jiaxing, the machine gun fire of the Japanese devils was particularly fierce, and shells with grenadiers fell into the ranks of the Sichuan brothers.

There is no doubt that this is like a meat grinder, devouring the lives of Brother Chuanjun.

Veterans with rifles, relying on bunker fortifications, fired back at the positions of the Japanese devils, and those who did not have rifles used meat shields to resist the bullets of the Japanese devils.

They crawled on the ground, and when they reached a sufficient position, they suddenly launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Japanese devils, rushed into the forward positions of the Japanese devils, and stabbed the Japanese devils with sharp spears into their bodies.

The counterattack of the Japanese devils soon arrived, the Japanese fought fiercely, they saw the soldiers of the Sichuan army with spears and machetes, and they shot at them from a distance, and the machine gun fire behind them suppressed, these people could not hit at all.

The casualties of the Twentieth Army began to increase over time.

The 3rd Company of the 26th Division, as the vanguard of the main attack, fearlessly launched an attack on the Japanese position, shuttling between the positions full of ruins, as far as the eye could see, every few seconds, you could see a Sichuan brother lying on the ground, his life and death uncertain.

"Up!"

There was a suppressed roar on the right, it was the Sichuan army from the flank, they were along the broken streets, and they met the small force of the Japanese devils head-on, and before they could react, the Japanese devils fired first, and the bullets rubbed the air and burrowed into their bodies.

Some of the Sichuan brothers rushed forward with machetes in hand.

This was a bloody battle, the previous battle, had accumulated bones all over the ground, and the arrival of the Sichuan army increased the thickness of the bones.

The Sichuan brothers were not afraid of death, they fought with the Japanese devils, and used their numbers to resist the machine guns, tanks and artillery of the Japanese devils.

There was screaming everywhere.

Xia Yuan had already launched an operation, the machine gun fire point of the Japanese forward position was the first obstacle of the Sichuan army, which caused huge sacrifices to the attacking troops, and more than half of the casualties of the three companies of the blasting were carried out, and the company commander still organized the demoman to blast the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devils.

There was a thick smell of blood floating in the air.

"Can't beat it! There were also infantry on both sides of the machine gun fire points of the Japanese devils, and they couldn't hit it hard at all. ”

"If you can't beat it, you have to fight, and when I die, bury me here, forget if I can't beat it, even hand it over to you to command."

"Don't do anything stupid, I'll go!"

A new round of blasting begins.

A squad of fighters with cluster grenades in their arms, lying on the ground, the rain flowing down the high slope, mixed with blood, they passed through one skeleton after another to the ground, close to the Japanese devil position.

Bullets wretched around them, rubbing the air and disturbing their minds.

The second squad leader is a man with a Chinese face, one meter seven tall, afraid that in a pile of bones, the Japanese devils did not find him, and the chain of fire formed by machine gun fire point strafing is very long, like a whip.

Brilliant flares flickered overhead, beautiful but hiding deadly danger.

He waited quietly for the thing to go out.

At the moment of extinguishment, the whole world became dark.

Lying on the ground, he quickly crawled forward with his hands and feet, and before he could get close to the position, he was discovered by the Japanese devils.

"The people of China!"

Poof!

The bullet hit, and luckily he lay down behind a corpse, and the bullet hit the corpse, and the second squad leader clearly heard the sound of the bullet sinking into the flesh.

He took a look at the bones above his head, which were badly decorated.

It is not the bones of the Sichuan army.

It's raining, and it can't cover the rancid stench.

"Thank you, brother, I'll kill the Japanese devils."

The second squad leader muttered and continued to climb forward.

There were fewer and fewer brothers in the second class of the Sichuan army who traveled with him, more than a dozen, and only three people died.

They are the last hope.

The second squad leader climbed fast and was already close to the forward position of the Japanese devils, but he couldn't live or die, and he was suppressed by the riflemen of the Japanese devils.

It was raining, but everything around me could be seen clearly, the light of the artillery fire, and the flares that had been lit for a long time, provided a light source for the Japanese devils, and naturally they saw the wriggling figures on the ground.

"Machine guns, fast, suppress the firing points of the Japanese devils."

The machine gunner of the third company held the light machine gun, ran to an open field, lay on the ground, propped up the machine gun with a rack, aimed at the machine gun fire point of the Japanese devil and the infantry on both sides, pulled the trigger, and as soon as the machine gun sounded, the second squad leader suddenly felt the pressure of the bullets flying above his head drop sharply, and he realized that this was a good opportunity.

Jumping out from behind the bunker, he didn't care so much, and rushed to the machine-gun fire point of the Japanese devils.

It's only more than ten meters, but it's like a few kilometers.

The second squad leader was shot, was hit in the body by the rifle of the Japanese devil, and fell to the ground, his life and death uncertain. The soldiers of the third company in the rear all clenched their hands, and their machine gunners, in the muzzle flames of the Japanese devils, saw the fallen second squad leader, and he pulled the trigger out of the corner of his eye, and the light machine gun erupted into an angry roar.

"Reorganize the blasting, quick!"

The commander of the third company clenched his fists and again ordered a squad to rush forward.

Suddenly.

The machine-gun fire of the Japanese devils was blinded.

Everyone was stunned.

Without warning, the machine-gun fire point was blinded.

A few seconds later, the machine-gun fire point erupted again.

It seems that the flameout just now is just an illusion.

Bang!

From behind them came the crisp sound of gunfire.

The machine-gun fire point of the Japanese devils was extinguished again, and everyone was shocked.

"Blew it up!"

The commander of the third company immediately shouted, and rushed forward with the people, so many people died, they must seize this opportunity.

This time it was the turn of the Japanese devils to panic, they still didn't know what was going on in the machine-gun fire point, but the sudden stop of the machine gun fire, unable to suppress the attacking Sichuan brothers, what made them even more frightened was that the person who had fallen down before actually stood up and threw himself on the machine gun fire point.

With a deafening roar, the machine-gun fire points standing on the forward positions disappeared.

In an instant, the Sichuan army jumped out from the rear, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and soon occupied the forward position of the Japanese army.

As the forward positions of the Japanese army in the direction of Xia Yuan were captured by the Sichuan army, the Japanese troops on both sides also began to withdraw one after another, giving up their positions.

The 20th Army successfully advanced to the front of Liujiaxing, and then continued to attack the center of Liujiaxing.

Liu Jiaxing stationed a wing of Japanese troops, resistance was quite tenacious, fierce fighting for three hours, the two sides repeatedly fought for two kilometers of position, the Sichuan army was finally unable to capture Liu Jiaxing's Japanese position, even if Xia Yuan participated in the battle, but the speed of the Japanese counterattack was very fast, Xia Yuan was often like a sharp knife inserted into it, but then surrounded by the Japanese troops on both sides.

After fighting a few times, he was unable to break through the Japanese position, and his strength alone was already quite terrible, but the attack was a matter of the entire defense line, and the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan army were too poor, even if they were brought in, they could not expand the scope of the opening after the attack.

After several battles in a row, Xia Yuan gave up.

At this time, the 20th Army had already fought the Japanese army for a night, and they came out of Sichuan, arrived in Shanghai, and without a moment of rest, they immediately entered the battle.

Even though they were physically and mentally tired, they still maintained strong combat capabilities, and Xia Yuan admired them a lot.

Loyalty, heroism, and fearlessness are vividly embodied in them.
