Chapter 459: Seven Days (Part 2)
Chapter 459 Seven Days (Part 2)
(...In the Japanese counterattack, our brave soldiers stood like reefs, and the enemy could not overwhelm their positions without leaving at least twice the casualties; many people would calculate how much we made in this battle, but how many people could feel their isolated despair and tenacity in despair in the face of the Japanese army's frenzy... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance-Cao Xiaomin")
"Woo-ang~~" The roar of the planes kept ringing in the mountains. The Japanese navigator troops did not have fighter jets suitable for hovering in the mountains. Moreover, their main battlefield was in the south. Twenty biplanes above the southeastern Anhui battlefield became the master of the sky. Each time six or one squad, the Chinese Air Force never stopped in the air and occasionally rushed down the Japanese stubborn positions, using a wave of machine gun bullets to deal with a group of enemies.
"Come on!" Amid the shouts, a group of ** soldiers formed a battle group and covered the hillside to attack. They already understood that they could not all of them pressed up together, otherwise the Japanese army would rush over from a high charge, and the attacking troops might be defeated by one blow. After four days of high-intensity combat, Su Zuxin's 135th Division began to show the cleverness of the old army again.
"Kill me!" A howl came from the top of the mountain, and a group of Japanese began to rush down towards the top of the mountain. The soldiers in the frontier did not rush up as before. They actually lay on the hillside and fired! Behind them, two Hatchkas machine guns set up began to roar, and the Japanese who rushed down were shot one after another. With the sound of "puff" bullets entering the flesh, the Japanese who were shot were driven by the inertia of the downward rushing body to slide down the hillside with mud, sand, gravel, smoke and dust, and directly slide into the charge team.
"Bang! Bang!..." The soldiers lying on the ground shot desperately at the sliding body - they had taught too many lessons before. Are there often people among the Japanese who slid down like this and even deliberately mingled with cluster grenades. Every time they fired the grenade, they would cause heavy casualties among the brothers.
The remaining Japanese were chased by bullets and rushed back to their positions. The Gui army officers and soldiers lying on the hillside began to attack step by step in the camp. As they went upwards, more and more officers and soldiers were stranded behind to set up guns and aimed at them. Only a few officers and soldiers with grenades were left at the front. The front was left with only a few officers and soldiers covered with grenades and entered the attack distance of the grenades and threw them up one by one.
"Boom!" "Boom!" At least three grenades exploded in the same place, and only then would a squad of soldiers go to that place. The soldiers who rush to the strong rush always attract waves of bullets. Grenadiers who have been hiding in the craters and depressions in the front will throw grenades at the exposed enemy shooting points...
Morale is as strong as a rainbow but there is no common human-sea tactic. Su Zuxin watched all this with a telescope on the opposite hill, and her nervous face began to soothe: another strong army has been trained!
As several machine guns were successively transported to the slope opposite the Japanese position, the battle results were predictable, and these hills were about to be taken down.
"Tell brothers, don't rush into the trenches, be careful of the Japanese living mines; throw a grenade before rushing into the trenches!" Su Zuxin was still a little worried, and her mother said. Then she turned around and called several officers together, pointing to the map and said, "Detect this mountain, we should not attack forward, go around this valley; let the defensive positions behind the Japanese fall... urge them, let the two mountain cannons be transported up quickly, and put them in the red circle to control the battlefield; transport the machine cannons to the red cross position to strictly prevent the enemy from rushing down from the mountain..."
Ah! That's right! Several officers suddenly realized: Su Zuxin's other positions of the Japanese army were left aside, and the entire army could leave the mountain pass! As for the Japanese army's ammunition on the rear position, they could no longer block the firepower because they were exhausted. The only way they could stop the ** chasing the main force from the mountain pass was to rush down and attack in half. This is great. If the Japanese who had few bullets dared to come out, let them taste what machine gun massacre was!
"I urgently call the 171st Division. Our army has controlled the Yamaguchi area and asked them to follow up quickly..." Su Zuxin finally arranged the next combat arrangements and finally sat down on the position with a relaxed breath. She used the sound of machine guns to make a lullaby to sleep. He slept for six hours in total for four days and four nights!
Let’s fight! If you fight all the money, you will lose it!” After receiving the front-line battle report, Huo Shouyi realized that there was no time to make adjustments in the troops, and he could only let the scattered troops fight to the death, and use the return rate to win this battle!
"I just see how many people can return to Nanjing when you fight like this!" Huo Shouyi was jealous and knew that there would be no more children in Northeast China after such a battle. Such a head-on hedging war is a life-and-death battle, and there is no room for retreat!
"Order all guerrilla troops in the entire army to form formations. When encountering the enemy, they must defend to the death. Those who retreat half a step back will be killed!" Huo Shouyi's final order continued: "All units directly under the Third Field Army Headquarters advance westward, and those who retreat half a step back will be killed!"
The Japanese army of the 18th Division was like an arrow, and each unit advanced east like a craze, while the First Field Army was dispersed into company-level units like countless reefs. Whenever they encountered a craze, they could knock out splashes to the sky before being submerged. On the battlefield, countless company-level units of the First Army disappeared in an organized manner. On the battlefield, the Japanese soldiers of the 18th Division filled the way home with their bodies. Looking around, there were piles of ** corpses dying in a group shape, and on their periphery were radially lit up. In just half a day and a night when the Japanese army began to retreat, the 18th Division had already lost nearly 8,000 people!
Can't rush anymore! The Japanese army of the 18th Division is one of the most tenacious troops, but after half a day and night of continuous attacks, they found that there was a ** position in front of them, and it became increasingly difficult to chew!
Because of the major sacrifices of the frontier troops, the subsequent ** continued to hedge. The Japanese in the 18th Division were cut into several pieces again during the counterattack. When they were in the hedge, the vanguard troops had already passed the First Field Army, in fact, the one who was waiting for Zhang Jingyue's Second Field Army, the new force on the battlefield!
The cracking sound of cannons in the distance and the various gun roars that sounded like bees, all meant that they were very close to the battlefield. Along the way, the officers and soldiers of the 171st Division would go up to search every time they saw a battlefield that once, but without exception, only saw the bodies of brothers from the Northern Jiangsu Army, and no living person was found. Half of these brothers had only half of their bodies - they finally pulled the grenades on their waists and blew them up.
Such a residual formation can be seen from time to time in the wilderness of ten kilometers. Many of the officers and soldiers of the 171st Division in the marching felt like they were under lead. They really wanted to help these brothers from all over the world collect the corpses, but before they came out, the commander ordered that if they saw brothers who died in the country of Subei, they would not be allowed to collect the corpses, and the entire army advanced at full speed!
"It's so pitiful. If you beat it like that, no one will even take the corpse..." Fang Qin, chief of staff of the division headquarters, couldn't help but shake his head.
"Don't worry, our brigade will not be taken away, the brothers will do it later... I heard that there are many people from Guangxi in the Northern Jiangsu Army..." Tan Heyiying, the commander of the May 11th Brigade of the vanguard, said: "Our " is fighting hard, according to my opinion, it is incomparable to the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army; now look at the Northern Jiangsu Army, alas... who dares to say that his troops are the ones that are fighting hardest..."
"Report to the brigade, a living person was found on the blocking position in front, or a cavalry..." A messenger came back quickly to report.
"Hurry, let's go up and take a look and ask about the situation..." Brigade Commander Tan Heyi immediately galloped with Chief of Staff Fang Qin.
Far away, a small earth slope surrounded about a platoon of officers and soldiers. The small earth slope was filled with Japanese corpses in a radial shape, which was obviously much more than the battlefields you usually see. It can be seen that this was once a major blocking position.
"Brothers! We're meeting, we're meeting~~!" A sad voice shouted "Meeting" over and over again, and the Gui soldiers surrounded us all burst into tears.
Finally we met, the Northern Su Army and the Gui Army, but there was only one person on one side.
"Brother, don't do this. Just bear it, just hold it up..." Several Gui army soldiers suddenly rushed up and hugged the soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Army. This was the second time. This was the crazy veteran either cried loudly and met or suddenly rushed to the ground to dig up. Seeing that he was digging out blood from his fingers, the Gui army officers and soldiers hugged him and refused to let him continue.
"...I'm already crazy and fainted by the cannon. When we woke him up, we recognized us as brothers of Gui Jun. Later, after he saw that all the other brothers around him died for their country, it was like this..." The platoon leader reported to Tan Heyi.
"Brother, what are you going to dig?" Fang Qin walked up to support the cavalry and asked him softly.
"What are you digging? What are you digging? What am I going to dig?..." The cavalry suddenly felt confused in his mind. He didn't know what he was going to dig...
They walked all the way west, crossing the enemy with the unique speed of the cavalry and then surrounding them from behind. They blew the enemy's heavy artillery and burned the enemy's food... In the end, their cavalry turned into infantry and were blocked on this hillside; they also blocked the enemy under the hillside, fighting for a night of blood, he didn't know when he was shocked... His brain selectively forgot a heartbroken thing, a very important thing... "The regiment commander died for his country, so don't let the Japanese harm his body. Hurry, go and bury him..."
He kept digging, and he buried something very important, but he could never remember what it was. He wanted to find it, but forgot where to bury it...
Just the night before Su Gui's army met, Man Han, the leader of the cavalry corps directly under the First Field Army of the National Revolutionary Army, died in battle, but the military archives only record: the whereabouts of unknown... The martyrs who disappeared on the battlefield failed to get a Venus star for their lifetime, even if they were chased.
