The resistance of the National Army in the ruins became weaker and weaker. The Japanese army continued to advance their positions. The remaining National Army had no choice but to gather their existing firepower together, and they were able to barely resist the Japanese attack. However,
Under the suppressed firepower of the Japanese army, their resistance was like a lone boat in the storm.
It was shaken so hard that it could capsize at any time.
Bang bang bang! The sound of the Japanese gunfire was dull and intermittent. The Japanese army swept over with burst fire, sending bullets one after another into the ruins. The wooden houses were hit and sawdust flew high and high.
.
The vanguard of the Japanese army reached the front of the ruins and hid under the door panels and steps, hiding their bodies well.
Two Japanese soldiers took out a grenade, knocked it on the ground, and threw it hard. It landed in the ruins and made a huge noise, putting the already swaying lone boat in danger.
However, a figure that surprised the Japanese army appeared.
It was Lao Qi. He was stunned by the two grenades thrown by the Japanese army. After he recovered, he saw that the Japanese had already moved in. He glanced at it and saw that there were more than 20 people. If this continues, the guards
The national army that was guarding the ruins would definitely not be able to hold on. Lao Qi gritted his teeth, leaned out of the impact point, and aimed his gun at a Japanese soldier.
The Japanese did not expect that there was someone on their flank. The gun rang out and one Japanese fell down. Then, Lao Qi threw two grenades as fast as he could and killed three Japanese.
Only then did the remaining Japanese soldiers react and fire back quickly. Bullets whizzed through his head. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and evaded quickly enough, but the Japanese invaded. After all, he was the only one, so it was hard to have both.
The four enemies, the Japanese, approached Lao Qi's hiding place and did not launch an attack on Lao Qi. Instead, they used grenades in an attempt to blow up Lao Qi to death.
A grenade flew to Lao Qi's leg, and there was a loud noise. Lao Qi couldn't feel the existence of his left leg, as if something pulled his leg, and then he lost all feeling.
After throwing two grenades, the Japanese soldiers ordered two Japanese soldiers to move over, one on the left and the other on the right. The muzzle of a crooked light machine gun was pointed at Lao Qi's hiding position. If there was any change, they would attack him with the utmost force.
Pull the trigger quickly.
Two Japanese soldiers came closer. They held their guns and carefully approached the impact point where Lao Qi was hiding. They saw a Chinese man covered in blood. His face was stained with blood. After seeing the two of them, he revealed a mouthful of blood.
Not exactly white teeth.
Boom.
The roar was deafening, and the eyes of the few soldiers hiding in the ruins were split when they saw this scene.
"Revenge the platoon leader!"
Several soldiers were stimulated by this scene and aroused the blood in their hearts. They were like fearless heroes, facing the Japanese army's hail of bullets and desperately fighting back against the Japanese army. However, the fire suppression caused by the crooked handle was really terrifying.
In addition, the shooting ability of the Japanese machine gunners is quite good. It is impossible to withstand the hail of bullets caused by the Japanese machine guns.
Under the hail of bullets from the Japanese army, the defense lines of several Chinese soldiers quickly collapsed.
The speed of collapse was beyond Xia Yuan's expectation.
He expected that the Du family home would be lost, but the loss would at least happen tomorrow. Today was their first battle with the Japanese army. No matter what, they would not collapse so quickly, but this was the reality.
The battle here only lasted about an hour. At this time, Xia Yuan, together with the veterans and Niu Qian, had just eliminated the Japanese grenade squad and seized three grenade launchers and more than ten grenade launchers.
Before the shells could be rejoiced for a long time, the gunshots from the direction of Du's house were heard becoming increasingly sparse, and the sound of grenades exploding was almost non-existent.
"What's going on? Is the battle over?" The veteran asked with a frown on his face, holding a grenade in his arms.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Xia Yuan didn't lock a lock or clean the battlefield. He led the two of them quickly toward the Du family house, crossed a street, and came to an open space, where they saw a scene that surprised the three of them.
The battle is over. Several Japanese soldiers are cleaning the battlefield, and some Japanese soldiers are using shovels to dig and strengthen bunkers.
"The battle is over!?"
Xia Yuan, who had experienced strong winds and waves, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, but quickly calmed down again.
He was very unclear as to why the battle was going on so fast. These people were all brought out by him, and they did not lack training on weekdays, and they even participated in actual combat. Why did they suddenly collapse so quickly now?
Xia Yuan couldn't understand, and his mind felt like it was tied in a knot.
He believed that half a month of daily training, night raids on Japanese positions, and supplies, in other words, half a month of life, could greatly improve their combat capabilities.
But they couldn't even stop the Japanese troops from two infantry squads.
Seeing that there were less than two Japanese infantry squads on the position, Xia Yuan led three people and quickly launched an attack against the Japanese troops on the ground.
He used three grenades to eliminate two machine gun fire points of the Japanese army, as well as a relatively concentrated shooting point of the Japanese army. With three grenades, he eliminated at least five Japanese Japs.
This kind of damage is already quite impressive.
The U.S. military uses human sea tactics, and the Japanese military uses tactics.
The Japanese were smart and cunning. Militarism had instilled a combat mentality in them since they were young. These Japanese also knew that when gathered together, grenades could cause huge damage, so during the battle, they spread out widely.
It is very difficult to kill more than three Japanese soldiers with one grenade.
The veterans and Niu Qian conducted covering fire on the flanks, attracting some Japanese firepower.
Xia Yuan quickly threw the grenades. From a distance of a hundred meters, each grenade seemed to be equipped with positioning and tracking, and accurately landed on the top of the Japanese devils' heads, making a continuous booming sound.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Behind the Japanese army, Erlunzi called for a squad of support. On the south side, the Japanese army's offensive intensity was relatively weak, not like that on the north side.
A gun shot from the front, a gun from behind.
The Japanese troops in Du's house were surrounded by them.
No one was killed in the battle, and only one Japanese soldier, Commander Cao, was left nervously holding a rifle with a somewhat panicked look on his face.
"Baga, we are surrounded by Chinese people, damn the Chinese people!"
The Japanese commander Cao was not stupid either. The Chinese people had blocked the road where they came from, while their other infantry squad and grenade squad had no movement at all.
I can imagine what happened there.
He remembered that before leaving, not only the squadron commander arrived, but also the group commander. He seemed to attach great importance to this place and even told them about it.
Attack forward fearlessly and capture the Chinese positions. You will be the heroes of the empire.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that these words contained malicious elements. Whenever the Major came to the front line, it must be that this place was very special.
But now, he seems to understand somewhat.
Judging from the gunshots fired by the Chinese, there were no more than five people in number, but their other infantry squad was not even seen by the Du family house, and now there was no movement. Just now, he paid special attention to the rush of the infantry squad.
From the past direction, bursts of gunfire were heard, but only about twenty minutes passed before the gunfire disappeared.
The grenade squad also brought great help to their attack, but just as the fighting on their side was fierce, a series of explosions also sounded from the rear, and then the Chinese appeared in front of them.
Commander Cao thought clearly about everything. Why did Dujiazhai change three squads in one morning? Why did the squadron leader and group leader come to the front line to supervise the battle? Obviously, it was related to the special casualties here.
The relationship during this period is inseparable from the several Chinese people who are shooting against them now.
Boom, those two explosions exploded directly at the nod of machine gun fire, killing two machine gunners on the spot. The soldiers who replaced the machine gunners were all shot dead with one shot. He had never experienced casualties at this speed.
It passed. At this moment, Cao Chang had figured everything out.
rear position.
301st Regiment Headquarters.
The leader of the 301st Regiment is having a meeting with Wang Yaowu.
Every moment, scouts will bring back the latest combat news about the front line.
"The Du family residence is lost!"
The commander of the 301st Regiment frowned and looked at the division commander after listening to the news brought back by the scouts.
Wang Yaowu also frowned. The soldiers who retreated from the front line brought back the news that the two houses they were holding on to were Dujiazhai and Sunjiazhai. One was in the north and the other was in the south. Yesterday, the Japanese army conducted a wave of reconnaissance and probing attacks.
, after being repulsed by them, they expected that the Japanese army had grasped the basic situation of the national army's front line.
Today, the focus of their attack will definitely be on these two houses.
As news continued to come back from the battle in the morning, it confirmed their inference that the focus of the Japanese attack was indeed on the Du family residence.
"They have fought very well. The defensive force of Dujiazhai is very weak. Xia Yuan concentrated the heavy troops of the company in the middle room area and the Sunjiazhai on the south side. The defensive force of Dujiazhai is only one squad. The Japanese army fought for a while.
In the morning, they did not even attack their reserve team. In the afternoon, they increased their offensive intensity. They held Du's house for the whole morning before being broken through by the Japanese army. This kind of performance is already quite impressive."
Wang Yaowu was silent for a moment, and then he spoke, his tone of voice unable to conceal his admiration.
It was able to use a small number of troops to rape more than 60 enemies, which was equivalent to wiping out a small squad of Japanese troops, and it was able to eliminate and repel the enemies as quickly as possible. The speed even shocked the Japanese troops.
Under such circumstances, the loss of the Du family home is acceptable.
After this battle, Xia Yuan's combat ability was proved.
After listening to the division commander's words, the leader of the 301st Regiment nodded and said: "Sir, Commander, this Xia Yuan is really powerful. He is worthy of being the man who led the ghost into the Japanese enemy's positions. His stabbing ability is really good. I have been in the army for many years, and I have rarely seen him.
There are no soldiers like this."
After a pause, he added: "No, it's not rare, it's almost non-existent."
Not long after the scout brought back the news, another scout ran back and brought back new news.
Dujiazhai was beaten down again!
This news can be described as shocking. The position was lost and it was already impossible to fight back with a small number of troops, but the defenders of Dujiazhai did it.
"It would be better if Xia Yuan could be discovered earlier. Maybe it is not impossible to break into Luodian."
Wang Yaowu said with emotion.
Although I didn't go to the front line to see it in person, I can see from the pieces of news sent back by the scouts how fierce the battle for the Du Family House was. The Japanese army attacked again and again, but failed to knock down the Du Family House.
After spending most of the day attacking, they failed to make any progress.
The arrogant Japanese army suffered a loss at Du's house.
Moreover, the garrison strength of Dujiazhai was no more than one squad.
Although the 51st Division had just arrived in Luodian, it had fought with the Japanese no less than ten times. According to intelligence, the Japanese army's strength in Luodian was about one division, while the national army was several times their number, three to five times.
With the strength of three divisions, they just couldn't get in. The 51st Division also launched several active attacks on the Japanese troops in Luonian, but they were all hit by fierce Japanese firepower and suffered heavy casualties.
However, the defense line did not even advance fifty meters.
Daytime was the time for the Japanese army to attack. Their attack was coordinated with artillery and aircraft to attack the Chinese army's positions. The Japanese army's attack was much stronger than the Chinese army's, which not only caused them heavy casualties, but also caused the loss of most of their positions.
After fighting for several days, after the fall of Baoshan, Luodian's offensive gradually stopped. They withdrew from Luodian and defended the perimeter. However, the Japanese army wanted to fight out and encroached on their positions bit by bit. Every time they fought, casualties appeared on both sides.
Huge casualty ratio.
Even if they win a battle, it is a tragic victory with a huge casualty ratio.
Until now, Xia Yuan's appearance has suddenly turned the situation around.
According to the scouts, the casualties of the Japanese army and the casualties of the Dujiazhai defenders had reached an astonishing ratio of six to one.
What is this concept? Since the Battle of Songhu broke out, the casualty ratio between China and Japan has been fluctuating around nine to one. Sometimes it is ten to one. However, in Dujiazhai, the casualty ratio has undergone a shocking reversal. When converted into national
The casualty ratio of the army was a terrifying sixty to one.
In other words, sixty people had to be sacrificed in order to get one casualty from the Du family's defenders.
Although this conversion is not equivalent, it is almost the same.
In short, the battle situation in Dujiazhai has exceeded Wang Yaowu's expectations.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army organized another powerful attack.
This time, Xia Yuan decided to give up and stick to the Du family home.
Dujiazhai is like a huge coffin. Once you enter, it is difficult to get out. He no longer has a reserve team, and a squad that came to support was transferred by him. He gave up Dujiazhai and took the veterans, Niu Qian and
Erluzi went out to fight guerrillas.
In this way, the battles between the two sides seemed to have reversed positions. The Japanese army defended the Du family residence, while Xia Yuan and the others attacked the Du family residence. His most powerful combat ability was undoubtedly the attack, not the blocking.
