Chapter 597

Rain Decision (Previous)

(...We mobilize local people to participate in many battles, or dig highways behind enemy lines or be responsible for protecting some small roads. Sometimes we will temporarily organize local wealthy private troops and village heads to participate in the offensive and defense of the battlefield. In order to preserve the strength of the main combat troops, people who go to the battlefield with the greatest enthusiasm in these places are often used as cannon fodder. This is the standard people's war... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin").

The rain stopped, has the rain stopped? Why is it still falling in the sky? The mud water stirred by various explosions kept spilling onto everyone on the muddy battlefield with the temperature.

Everyone on the battlefield was covered in mud, but both sides were furious and could recognize the enemy: when they turned their heads, they would have a small braid (the effect of the sunscreen on the Japanese military cap and wet water, one of the important signs of the Chinese people identifying the enemy in the rainy pads in the battlefield in Guangdong). Those who threw the mud must be the Japanese, and those who carried the dome bamboo hat must be the Chinese team!

Of course, you can take off the sign on your head to confuse the enemy, but on such a battlefield, as long as you are not confirmed by your own people, you will be the enemy. Taking off the helmet or bamboo hat may be aimed at by both sides, not to mention the boiling mud that was blown up from the sky... The officers and soldiers of both sides are fighting desperately in the mud belt that is beyond your sight!

In such a harsh environment, the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns were all gone, and they could only rely on the Type 96 light machine gun as fire support. However, the ** troops came because they were prepared. Whether it was the Min24 or the mg13, the Czech style was not greatly affected. In addition, the movement speed in the mud was far better than that of the other party. After a long battle, they had a great advantage on many battlefields and began to divide and annihilate the enemy.

"It's not a feint attack! It's not a temptation! It's a general attack, it's a full-scale counterattack!" As the snowflake-like telegram was sent to Guzhuang Ganlang, he was at a loss: Should the base camp's combat guidance be followed!... If this continues, the main force of the 17th Division will be completely wiped out!

A group of mud duck-like soldiers were scattered behind a Tianji. Some were trembling and some were panting. Everyone was trying to relax themselves... "Prepare to charge..." The order came down again. As their abnormal movements, Tianji fired a few shots, and the mud splashed from the bullets made everyone unconsciously lower their heads.

In Tianji Duan, where there were no bullets, some officers and soldiers anxiously turned their eyes to the small river flowing through the opposite Tianji, but they did not see anyone rising up... With a "slam" sound, suddenly a person appeared in the river. No! It's two, why are they two!?

Two people who met in the river wrestled together, unable to see who their brothers were their enemies, and one person was crushed into the water, but neither side opened fire on the people standing in the waist-deep water - they could not see which person they were! However, in an instant, at least a dozen guns on both sides had already aimed at the people who were fighting in the water... "Boom!" It was a man in the fight that fired the grenade, and the huge waves of water suddenly exploded, and then the grenades that exploded one after another continued to explode the mud and water... The mud and water mist made the battlefield extremely dark, just like the hearts of the officers and soldiers fighting on both sides: they both wanted to send death squad members to swim in the river and attack each other, but the two dead soldiers met in the water, and they died together in the explosion of the grenade!

After the explosion, there was silence. The officers and soldiers on both sides were silent. They fought in the cold rain and mud for a long time. Whether it was Guangdong soldiers who were used to this cold rain or Japanese with relatively strong bodies, they could not hold on. The empty and wet bodies felt the bone-bone chill and the softness in their bodies...

"The Japanese were much more tenacious than they thought, and they were not defeated in full!" Jiang Guangnai counted the battle reports on various fronts, which made him very disappointed: the Japanese were shocked to find that their retreat was broken and fled first, and they actually "stupid" sticking to the spot!

This is indeed stupid. They may be wiped out by missing the time to withdraw troops... But Jiang Guangnai found that he also faced a big problem: he arranged too many troops on all the important roads behind the enemy, and the frontal offensive forces were insufficient! When the 135th Division of the Gui Army and one of his troops who were frontal offensives and squeezed the enemy, they were unable to destroy the opponent. Because his troops did not have a good communication system, they could not be collected as soon as they were spread out. Although some local battlefields had wiped out a piece of the enemy, those victorious troops had to re-confirm the target of the attack and delayed it to one or two hours later!

Many enemy troops that are defending are not defeated. If the enemy fails to defeat, they cannot surround and block the enemy. Once the enemy comes back to their senses, they will be in ruins in Shantou. What should I do? Where can I have available soldiers!?

Jiang Guangnai sighed, frowned deeply as if he was doing something very difficult to decide. Finally, he pinned his hands together with one finger: "Order, all the reserve teams of the 9th Brigade of the 158th Division should be pressed on, and continue to attack!... I will find all the security groups on standby and the patriarchs of the rich families in the local area..."

The last regular army reserve team in Jiang Guangnai's hands set off. Behind them are the security team, field army, and private army of the entire region... All the forces that can be pushed to the battlefield in this region are used!

It was a Japanese! A soldier covered in mud was lying on the ground and could not tell that there was any difference between him and the surrounding environment. After waiting for most of the day, he finally saw four Japanese stumble and grinding towards the direction he was guarding on a wide main field base, one foot deep and one foot shallow... The sound of pulling the gun bolt around him told him that the other brothers were preparing for battle, and these four Japanese must have no way to survive!

"Bang!" A gunshot came first, a Japanese fell down... Isn't that mine? The soldiers who had already aimed the Japanese were stunned, and the other brothers opened fire one after another... The exhausted Japanese could react quickly when the gunshots sounded and pounced on the fields on both sides... One Japanese was thrust with blood and directly crashed into the fields. However, the other two Japanese immediately made tactical actions to fight back with guns!

"Puff!" A light sound of the Japanese was shot again, but the last Japanese hid behind Tian Ji and kept firing... Hell, the originally determined tactic was destroyed by a man who was too nervous and had not reached the distance. A squad of officers and soldiers were beaten into a stalemate by a Japanese...

"Boom!" As the mud from the grenade exploded, one body was taken up, and the Japanese were finally destroyed... "Boom" Another explosion of the Japanese corpse was blown up! Fortunately, the grenade of his own people exploded and killed the Japanese. The slightly more experienced squad leader sweated coldly: If the Japanese were asked to throw the grenade out, who knew what the final result would be?

Inadequate training, many of them were recruits who were on the battlefield for the first time. Although most of them had experience as bandits or suppressing bandits in their hometowns, they were not skilled in tactical use, both the Sixth Field Army and the 135th Division of the Gui Army. They also paid a great price in such fierce battles. Some ambushers, after the fierce battle, were actually killed by the Japanese troops who broke through the squad...

The entire war zone was full of fighting, paddy fields were everywhere, and the air was filled with mud, with a unique fragrance: almost every citrus orchard was lit, and the fragrance from the citrus trees made people feel more energetic; but if local officers and soldiers saw this large area of ​​mud, a large area of ​​citrus orchard was burned, they would cry silently: citrus were produced this year, and rice harvests would be a large number of poor harvests... How many people will starve to death in Chaoshan this year!?

"Kill!..." A surging shouts came, and teams of troops with surging fighting spirit began to appear on the entire front...

"Defend the country!" "Avenge the victims of the massacre!" "Punish the devils from Chaoshan!" The military propaganda team used various calls that made the crowd emotionally stirred up the crowd to push tens of thousands of local forces, including the people who couldn't even fire guns, to the battlefield...

Countless people rushed towards the Japanese's firm positions like soldiers. They used their bodies to consume the enemy's bullets, shocked the enemy's nerves with their shouts and then fell down... The strongest troops of the Japanese were finally defeated by the bullets and the hunger and cold. The forgotten people were chasing the Japanese everywhere. They were full of hatred and focused, but did not notice their relatives and friends. When they were young, they all left one by one by the gunfire, leaving forever...

"One general's success is so strong that thousands of bones are bleak..." Jiang Guangnai had already brought the guard to a position he had just occupied. The mud was covered with corpses - corpses with mud that could only be found when they could find them. These corpses were wearing military uniforms and a large number of ordinary people's clothes; some of them were holding guns, but they also saw that some were holding only a sickle in their hands...

Is the final mobilization right? Everything in front of me is even more tragic than I thought. Perhaps the people who did not participate in the war would not appear on the battlefield. In Jiang Guangnai's eyes, everything in front of him seemed to tell him: the ordinary people on this land were mobilized by him, and they were all dead...

This is a victory that must be won. It concerns whether he can lead troops in the future... But is it that important whether he can lead troops in the future? Jiang Guangnai's nose became more and more sore, and he no longer dared to go on. He was afraid to see more corpses in the costumes of the people. Fighting against the enemy is the duty of soldiers. In the scorched earth war, every Chinese has the obligation to sacrifice for this country, which is also a concept he has always accepted; but when he sees such a large battlefield where there is no border, he is full of corpses of armed people, he who believes in Buddhism will sentence himself to hell!
