Chapter 211: Correcting Name (Part 1)

(... Because we lack firepower, even when we surrounded the enemy, the annihilation tactics we often rely on still have to charge with suicide squads. We were covered with grenades and rushed directly into the enemy's trenches and then exploded to pieces! The figures of suicide squads who would not even leave bodies have been spread all over every corner of every battle in eight years... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

The first to cross the river were the 12th Infantry Regiment of the Tiangu Detachment, the engineering brigade led by Nagayama, the commander of the 11th Engineer Regiment, and some baggage troops. They had just crossed the Huaihe River and were attacked by the 59th Army. In order to ensure the smooth crossing of the subsequent troops, they soon launched a counterattack and attacked Huaiyuan County.

The counterattack was very successful. The troops that the 59th Army attacked were neither artillery machine guns nor pitifully. It was obviously the second-line garrison troops placed behind. *** Every time they fought, they could only push most weapons to the front line. The reserve troops behind were not as equipped as their own Korean labor defense team. This was a consensus among the Japanese in the 11th Division. When they found that the officers and soldiers of the 59th Army in front of them were obviously second-line troops, Colonel Wenda, of the 12th Infantry Regiment, immediately rushed forward, trying to win Huaiyuan with his own strength!

The arrogant Japanese did not know that on the way from Qianwan to Huaiyuan County, there was a cloth bag ambush with nearly 20,000 troops of the entire 59th Army that had been quietly assembled!

The vanguard troops rushed to the gate of Huaiyuan County, thinking that they could enter the city in one fell swoop. Without even building field fortifications, they chased the 59th Army troops who lured the enemy. Suddenly, gunfire sounds were loud in the city, and the Japanese outside the city didn't know what was going on. The vanguard troops who rushed in had been intercepted by three-dimensional and dead-end firepower. After a long time of preparation, the officers and soldiers of the 59th Army had already beaten the Japanese who rushed into the city to a mountain of corpses!

There was no place to be a bunker at all, and the area at the gate of the city was completely demolished! The buildings left behind were all top positions. In addition to the conventional firepower of machine guns and rifles, two doors were removed from the temple. Each old cannon filled with more than 100 kilograms of iron sand in the cannon cavity exerted unimaginable power at this time: two loud noises that covered the earth almost covered all the Japanese follow-up troops that continued to rush in like a tide!

As soon as the iron sand cannon fired, the shouts of killing sounded like a tsunami: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, it's all the time! Fight!" The Japanese soldiers who were so dizzy that they were not even standing firmly, but saw countless bright sword lights - the famous big sword team members of the world-famous swordsmen who had been hung grenades and held machetes, launched a charge like a sea of ​​storm!

The sword light flashed and the head fell to the ground. The Japanese soldiers who were still trying to use guns to hold their bodies firmly had no room for counterattack. The battle in the city gate became the beheading competition of the 59th Army's Big Sword Team!

The Japanese outside the city gate had just begun to rush into the city, but bullets in the fields on both sides suddenly hit like raindrops. Only then did they realize that they were ambushed!

Fighting on the spot can only be awaiting death! The Japanese discovered that the terrain had actually been quietly changed. They formed formations on the road and were almost being trained by the soldiers to practice guns! So the experienced Japanese soldiers began to spontaneously launch a counterattack on the *** positions on both sides... "Boom! Boom!..." Amid the continuous explosion of mines on both sides of the road, you can see the entire Japanese soldiers being thrown high from time to time. The ambush was prepared so carefully!

Soon after the fight, the Japanese knew that they could not hold on. They began to retreat desperately, allowing the heavy machine guns on the city tower to snipe behind them. The *** in the city gate also rushed out. A mule cart carrying two 24 heavy machine guns from a civilian cart rushed out of the city gate and put them on the road and shot at the back of the Japanese without stopping.

The north wind quickly blew away the dust that was blown up by the mines, and the smoke from the gun mouth was very thin. You can clearly see the entire road covered with corpses of the Japanese yellow military uniforms dyed with blurred blood and blood... But this is just the beginning! The entire ambush line is two kilometers long, and the hidden troops of the Fifty-Ninth Army attacked the entire line, covering every section of the road from Qianwan to Huaiyuan County! The troops ambushing Houwan at the western end also began to launch pincer attacks, and the troops that rushed out of Huaiyuan County had already stepped on the enemy's bodies and chased them all the way; there were dense fire exchanges everywhere, and this small area on the north bank of the Huaihe River had been completely filled with more than 20,000 people on both sides!

In the main attack direction, all the mountain artillery and mortars of the 59th Army were concentrated in several places; but the officers and soldiers with artillery fire support died as much as they died! In order to quickly divide the enemy according to the plan, they had to avoid evading the bombing point and charge even directly into the barrage! The desperate efforts of the infantry brothers made the artillery observers who witnessed everything in the sighting scope tremble even the shouting sounds. When each shell was down, the charge soldiers and the Japanese who had no chance to lie down were blown to pieces, and they could not tell that the dust of you and me was returned to the dust of the earth...

The sound of charge horns spreads everywhere in every corner of the battlefield, and the fierce attack swept across every battlefield: under the attack of heavy machine guns and machine guns, the officers and soldiers of the 59th Army often fell down one after another, but the unfallen people then charged and rushed until they were about forty meters away from the enemy. Then, while the grenades were still flying in the air, the heroic soldiers were already strangled by the machine guns and the grenades that had not been thrown out and fell down exploded! The warriors' flesh and blood had not yet returned to the dust, so they could not bear to

The grenades that Yi threw on the enemy's position began to explode in pieces. With the explosion behind them, more brothers began to charge in the second round, and sprinted on the bodies of the fallen brothers and rushed forward with gritted teeth... Some of the death-losing members had more than ten grenades on their bodies. The death-losing members who stepped on the bodies of the brothers who finally rushed to the Japanese position without any hesitation, would pull the grenades and blow down the entire Japanese that were blocking the gap; then, the death-losing members who followed behind and continued to rush forward rushed forward and pounced on...

The 59th Army also has machine guns and cannons, but the number is not large. More battles are such a process of paving the way forward with flesh and blood and life. Without retreating, every officer and soldier on standby will pounce on him without hesitation when it is his turn; the province and family have been destroyed, and if he does not die, the country will be destroyed!

In the smoke and dust, there were no tears on the faces of the charge officers and soldiers, and whether they were attached to life, they could only feel their murderous aura!

The Japanese army was too long, and although well-equipped, they were still cut off by the officers and soldiers of the 59th Army who were sacrificed to death and were cut into several pieces. The entire battlefield became a melee with each other. The Japanese troops without the suppression of the machine guns and were in a bad terrain soon entangled with the officers and soldiers of the 59th Army and fought in hand-to-hand combat. Every officer and soldier in the attack entered a state of selflessness, and various war songs and charge slogans stopped, replaced by various curses and vicious curses in the northeast dialect. The stalemate battle was filled with countless officers and soldiers on both sides fell in every minute!

The battlefield was not big, less than two square kilometers, but there were so many people. The Japanese who were in large numbers seized many favorable terrain and began to defend themselves. The scattered Japanese men fought desperately to break through and approach them, and many of them were killed by the soldiers on the way like hunting.

The most tragic battlefield was on the edge of the Huai River. Some of the broken Japanese relied on their good water quality and jumped into the river and swam to the south bank; but the soldiers who were chasing behind them also jumped in with great affection. The officers and soldiers in the fierce battle seemed to have forgotten the depth of the cotton coats and the river water. Many officers and soldiers from both sides jumped into the river and entangled, and in the end they only knew to hold on to their opponents and sank into the bottom of the river; more officers and soldiers on both sides found it difficult to move and started running on the shore when they got off the water, but everyone was still fighting, and the river was as deep as their waists.

A fighting streak formed in a section of the battle. The blood flowed out of the wounds of the officers and soldiers did not spread outwards, but followed the water flowing into dark red, all the water along the north bank was dyed dark red, and silently flowed to the east... On the water near the south bank, some of the Japanese soldiers who had been overdrawn after fighting and swam to the shore in a short distance but could no longer move forward. They stretched out their hands and choked on the water while crying for help, but were ruthlessly dragged into the water by cotton coats. These Japanese soldiers would go to the south bank. After they drowned, they sank into the water for a few days, their bodies would swell and then float up and be blown to the south bank by the north wind...

Zhang Zizhong, who had been fighting with "just die", witnessed the fierce battle on every inch of the battlefield in the telescope, and could not help but tremble a few times: almost every inch of the battlefield within the telescope, the corpse lying there, either cold or bloody...

But the battle continues!

The more and more Japanese soldiers who occupied some good geography gathered, and had stabilized their positions. While repairing fortifications, they fought with the *** who were constantly rushing up, and gradually built many simple field fortifications in the tug-of-war. On the ground around them, the bodies of the *** officers and soldiers lying radially all over the ground became thicker and thicker...

"June... brothers have suffered heavy casualties, let's take a break..." A staff officer saw the bloody battles everywhere, and tears began to speak to Zhang Zizhong with tears in his eyes.

Zhang Zizhong turned around and looked at the staff members standing behind him, and each of them had an expression of indulgence on his face. He said in a deep voice: "At the mouth of Xifeng, at the foot of the Great Wall, we fought harder than we are now! Now we don't have planes on our heads, and the Japanese don't have heavy artillery. When will we wait if we don't fight to the death? Passing my order, each unit will not stop taking off one moment. If you can't kill them, you will be exhausted. If you can't exhaust them, you will starve them to death. None of the Japanese who arrive on the north shore are allowed to be released back!"
