Chapter 213 Blockade of 612 regiments
~.-~ Chapter 213 The 612th Regiment's Blockage
Taking advantage of the daze of the Japanese on the city wall, the soldiers rushed into the city one after another. There were not many Japanese in the city and their resistance was very weak. Soon, the Japanese in the nearby city and on the city wall were shot and killed by the soldiers one by one.
In the south and north of the city, the soldiers of the 59th Army also attacked the city one after another, but the soldiers who attacked the city found that the number of Japanese soldiers was rare in the city, so many soldiers gave up their plans to enter the city, and walked around outside the city, chasing Japanese soldiers eastward.
Zhang Yunfei's orders have been issued to various troops. Everyone knows that the Japanese are already fleeing eastward, so except for the Third Infantry Division, most of the other soldiers of the 59th Army pursue the Japanese, while the Third Infantry Division is preparing to pass through the city, go out of the east gate of the city, and pursue the Japanese.
Ten kilometers outside Jingzhou City, more than 2,000 people from the 612th Regiment had reached there, and everyone was not worried about their fatigue. They were speeding up the construction of fortifications, digging trenches, building sandbags, erecting machine guns, erecting mortars, etc.
Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, looked at the soldiers who had been jogging and marching ten kilometers and were already panting, and wanted to seize the time to build a blocking position. It was a bit distressing to see, but the situation was pressing. The Japanese will not be able to reach here soon. The Japanese who were eager to escape would definitely attack their positions. If they did not build fortifications, there would definitely be great casualties.
Half an hour later, everyone's simple trench had basically been dug, some soldiers were strengthening the trench, while others took out a few grenades they carried with them, unscrewed the lid, and placed it in front of them where they could get it.
Some soldiers checked their guns and bullets several times. Many soldiers looked at their bulging ammunition bags with satisfaction. Due to Zhang Yunfei's support, they sent Zhang Zizhong a large number of bullets. All the soldiers of the 612th Regiment were assigned 50 rifle bullets each this time.
As the fighters of the machine gunners, each machine gun team was divided into 300 rounds of bullets. The ammunition operators were pressing the bullets one by one into several magazines. On a machine gun position on a small highland, these three Czech light machine guns were being set up. Several ammunition operators were carefully checking the 30 round magazines that were pressed over the bullets, and then placed them next to the machine gunner.
The leader of the 612th Regiment, holding a telescope, stood in the trenches and carefully observed the front. It was estimated that the Japanese vanguard's vanguard should be coming soon. Sure enough, just over a dozen minutes later, the Japanese appeared on the road ahead. The leader of the 612th Regiment immediately shouted: "Brothers, the Japanese are here, everyone is ready to fight."
The soldiers of the 612th Regiment were all ready. The soldiers were all lying in the trenches, holding guns and aiming carefully in front of them. The Japanese in front were only a few hundred meters away. The Japanese may have discovered the blocking position of the Chinese team and stopped the march.
At this time, the Japanese had already seen the position of the Zhongxun team in front. Hatan Shigeichi, who was sitting in the truck, looked very ugly at this time, and he was shouting wildly in his heart, why would there be Zhongxun team here?
Hatan Shigeichi got out of the truck worriedly, took the telescope and carefully observed the Centre Team opposite. After looking at it for a while, Hatan Shigeichi's face was slightly better, because although the Centre Team opposite had built simple fortifications, the number of people was not large, and there were only more than 2,000 people.
What made Hatan Shigeichi's mood even better was that the Centre Team on the opposite side was obviously not Zhang Yunfei's 36th Army, because the Centre Team on the opposite side was wearing the military uniform of the Kuomintang army and the weapons they were carrying were also varied, including Hanyang, Zhongzheng, and Sanbada cloaks, and there were not many machine guns.
In a better mood, Hatan Shigeichi immediately said to the Japanese Chief of Staff next to him: "Order the First Infantry Battalion to launch a tentative attack to find out the firepower point of the ** team on the opposite side."
With the issuance of the order from Hatan Shigeichi, a Japanese infantry brigade, more than a thousand men, holding guns and slowly approaching the blocking position of the Chinese team hundreds of meters away.
Because the Japanese escaped in a hurry, they basically did not carry infantry artillery and mortars, and only had a small number of crooked machine guns and grenade launchers. Although they did not have heavy weapons, Hatan Shigeichi still adopted the old tactics, first tentatively attacked, and then used the grenade launcher to knock out the machine gun points of the ** team on the opposite side, and finally started a large-scale attack.
Seeing the Japanese touched them, a company commander of the 612th Regiment said to his regiment commander Zhu Ming: "Royal rank, the Japanese are coming up, will we fight or not."
"Tell me the order, put the Japanese within 200 meters before firing. Try not to use machine guns. When the Japanese approach, they will greet them with grenades." Zhu Ming, the leader of the 612th Regiment, said immediately.
Zhu Ming's order was immediately conveyed one by one, and the soldiers carefully aimed at the Japanese devils who were getting closer and closer. When the Japanese devils entered three or four hundred meters away from the position, the Japanese captain pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Kill them."
Thousands of Japanese Japanese launched attacks on the 612th Regiment's position while shooting. The Japanese Japanese shot bullets that made the dirt on the edge of the trench fly. Fortunately, the soldiers were all lying in the trench, revealing only half of their heads. It was basically difficult for the Japanese to hit the soldiers who were only exposed three or four hundred meters away.
Many of the soldiers of the 612th Regiment were veterans, and they showed good psychological qualities at this time. Although the Japanese bullets made the dirt next to them splash, the soldiers were very calm and carefully aimed at the Japanese who were hundreds of meters away.
When the Japanese entered a distance of 200 meters, someone shouted: "Bang, beat me hard." The soldiers of the 612th Regiment immediately began to shoot, and the sound of rifle shooting "bang, bang, bang" sounded everywhere on the position.
The Japanese who charged were knocked down one after another. In such a shot, the Japanese suffered a great loss. The Japanese ran forward and charged forward. Not only were the targets relatively large, but the running shooting accuracy was also greatly affected.
The soldiers of the 612th Regiment were all lying in the trenches. The exposed part was relatively small and they were shooting on their lying side. The shooting accuracy was relatively high. All the Japanese fell one after another, while the soldiers of the 612th Regiment sacrificed less.
However, due to the lack of machine guns, although the Japanese were knocked down a lot, the remaining Japanese were getting closer and closer. A veteran of the 612th Regiment saw that the Japanese had rushed to him less than 50 meters, he immediately picked up the grenade in front of him and greeted him at the most crowded place of the Japanese.
The other soldiers also threw grenades at the Japanese heads, and the explosions sounded one after another among the Japanese. Many Japanese were killed. The Japanese captain who was commanding the charge immediately ordered the Japanese to retreat when the situation was not good. The Japanese who were still charging just now immediately fought and retreated.
Shigeichi Hatan, who was watching the game from a distance, looked very ugly. In the charge just now, the Japanese did not take advantage of the Japanese team. None of the firepower points of the Chinese team were exposed. Instead, the Japanese team charged dropped four or five hundred bodies and retreated, causing the morale of the Chinese team opposite to him to increase. In the glasses, Shigeichi Hatan even saw the Chinese team opposite cheering and celebrating.
Hatan Shigeichi, who was very depressed, immediately said to the Japanese Admiral: "Order the entire Second Infantry Regiment to charge and break the defense line of the ** team on the opposite side in one fell swoop."
"Hi, Commander, I will send the order immediately." The Japanese Chief of Staff immediately bent down and saluted, with a slight look of excitement on his face.
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Agents has not seen a collective charge above the wing for a long time. More than 3,000 people launched the charge together, and the scene would be very spectacular. The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Agents even thought of the situation where the defense line of the ** team on the opposite side was broken and collapsed immediately under the charge of a wing.
The captain of the Second Japanese Infantry Regiment was also happy after receiving the order. During the Battle of Wuhan, one of his own corps launched a collective charge and crossed the defense line of more than 10,000 people in a division of the Chinese National Team at that time. Now there are only more than 2,000 people in the opposite Chinese National Team. The captain of the Japanese National Team seemed to have seen the dawn of victory.
"Kill and give it to..." The Japanese corps captain raised his command knife and shouted with all his might.
More than 3,000 Japanese Japanese also shouted, holding the Type 38 machine gun or a crooked machine gun, and rushed towards the 612th Regiment position on the opposite side like a tide.
At the 612th Regiment position, the regiment commander Zhu Ming looked at such a Japanese rushing over, and his face was very serious. It seemed that it was the charge of a Japanese corps. Zhu Ming was not sure whether he could block the Japanese's attack this time.
But his mission is to block the Japanese from fleeing east and block the Japanese's road. There is no way out. He can only fight the Japanese bloodily to the end. Zhu Ming secretly made up his mind that the Japanese would pass by here, and he could only step on the bodies of our 612th Regiment warriors. Even if we fight to the last person, we must persist to the end.
Zhu Ming, the commander of the 612th Regiment, who had made up his mind, stood up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Japanese are not good at this time. At least it is a charge of a corps. We should not be afraid of wasting bullets. All the light and heavy machine guns will be fired hard for me. After all the bullets are fired, they will fight the Japanese with bloody battles to the end."
"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end..." The thunderous roars of soldiers sounded around.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Ming's eyes were a little wet. What a good soldier. For the sake of the country and the nation, facing the Japanese devils who were almost twice as afraid as they were, and even if they sacrificed their lives, they would not hesitate to do so.
Seeing that the Japanese opposite was only five or six hundred meters away from the position, more than a dozen 60mm mortars on the 612th Regiment's mortar position were the first to fire. One by one, a series of shells flew into the Japanese crowd. Immediately, explosions sounded among the Japanese crowd.
