Chapter 128 Bloody Battle

Yang Xing, God of War, is not interested in such a name.

However, the name of the God of War did increase the confidence of many soldiers to continue fighting against the Japanese army and boosted their morale. Xia Yuan was happy with this title. As for what kind of glory it brought, that is another matter.

Reinforcements and broken troops are all rushing towards Zhazaobang.

The number of Japanese troops deployed in the Battle of Songhu has reached three divisions, and the Eleventh Division is still entrenched in Luodian. The flesh-and-blood mill is not over yet, and it is still devouring the young lives of every soldier who reaches Luodian.

The Ninth Division reinforced the Japanese Third Division and launched an attack on Yang Xing.

It was the Japanese 101st Division that attacked Rozaobang. The 101st Division was not a Class A division, and its configuration was far inferior to that of a Class A division. Therefore, in the battle at Rozaobang, the Japanese 101st Division

The division suffered heavy casualties.

When we were close to Hazaobang, we could hear the sound of artillery shells devouring the earth from a long distance away, and the ground beneath our feet trembled slightly.

The reinforcements were quickly dragged into the battle by the superior officers, while the defeated troops were gathered up by some troops who had been defeated on the battlefield and began to repair in the rear.

Xia Yuan was exhausted physically and mentally from these days of fighting, and was very tired from traveling. When he arrived at the front line, he took a short rest and then threw himself into the battle of Zhongzaobang.

In October, the autumn wind in Shanghai is getting colder.

From the urban area to the outskirts of the city, the tug-of-war between China and Japan has been going on for more than a month.

Zhongzaobang is a river that runs across the road from Yangxing to Dachang. The river is not wide, but it is indeed the focus of competition between China and Japan. Xia Yuan and his two idiots lay motionless in the ruins for a day.

As time went by, rainwater dripped from the broken beams and fell in front of the two of them.

Erluzi used a bottle to catch the dripping rainwater.

Xia Yuan took out two boxes of cans, threw one to Er Lengzi, opened the cans and ate them. The cans contained a greasy, salty paste and needed to be eaten with rice. The taste was not very good when eaten dry.

Their bodies were soaked by the rain, their body temperature was lost quickly, and their physical exertion was huge, so they needed to eat some food to warm themselves up.

Among the ruins around them, corpses were scattered everywhere. They were already accustomed to this scene. There were more corpses in Luodian Town than what they saw in front of them. When they stood on the east bank of Dijing River,

Skeletons, broken flesh and severed limbs were everywhere.

The more I see it, the more I get used to it.

These skeletons all belong to Chinese soldiers. They were bombarded by Japanese heavy artillery. Not a single skeleton is complete, and every skeleton is soaked in the cold rain.

The two of them were eating cans and listening to the sounds of gunfire and artillery in front of them. The second idiot asked: "Company commander, are we going to fight the Japanese here?"

"I'll take a look first and then talk."

The Japanese army started fighting from the north and moved south. They changed their battle plan. Instead of stubbornly attacking Luodian, the 11th Japanese Division continued to attack Luodian. The 9th Division and the 3rd Division attacked Yang Hang. The 10th Division

The First Division attacked Zizao Bang.

The 101st Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Rozaobang faced tremendous pressure. After all, Rozaobang was the second line of defense for the Chinese army and had an extremely heavy strength.

The Japanese army's choice to attack from north to south was not groundless. The Japanese army's initial offensive strategy was to seize Luodian, attack Jiading, cut off the Beijing-Shanghai railway, and cut off the national army's troop transport routes and retreat routes.

The Chinese army had an insight into the Japanese army's thinking, so it stockpiled some heavy troops in Taicang, that is, the Taicang direction north of Jiading. Once the Japanese army captured Luodian and attacked Jiading, the troops in the Taicang direction could be quickly dispatched to reinforce Jiading.

"Company commander, look, he is one of ours."

The sky was dark, and a long queue came from a distance, moving deeper along the ruins and approaching their direction.

The soldiers in this team were dressed in rags, with straw hats made of hay on their heads, bamboo hats on their bodies, and straw sandals on their feet. Some of them did not have guns in their hands and carried machetes behind their backs, and some carried other than guns.

Instead, burn a fire stick.

These soldiers were tall and thin, marching in no formation, their uniforms were in tatters, and they had no decent weapons. Some soldiers even went to the battlefield with bare hands.

Xia Yuan was attracted by this unit and glanced at it twice: "The situation of the two divisions in Yudi is better than that of this unit."

When they arrived in Jiading, the troops distributed bullets. One recruit had just been issued ten bullets. Ten bullets were already quite a lot for many local armies. Many soldiers went to the battlefield and the number of bullets did not exceed five.

pellets.

A long line of troops passed in front of them. The equipment of this troop was extremely poor. The ones used by Yudi were made in Hanyang but were stronger than the fire sticks in their hands.

Xia Yuan has basically guessed where this army came from.

Wearing straw sandals, a straw hat, and a bamboo hat, the weapons and equipment are backward, but they can't stand the crowd, so they have long guns, broadswords, and fire sticks.

Sichuan Army.

When we left Sichuan, there were 3.5 million people.

When they returned to Sichuan, only 130,000 people were left.

In terms of national justice, Sichuan people have never lost.

"Sichuan Army." This was the first time Xia Yuan saw the Sichuan Army, and he was shocked by this backward army. Their backwardness was far worse than that of Yu. After all, Yu's troops still had light and heavy machine guns.

Although the weapons are worn out, they are still weapons and have bullets.

Looking at the Sichuan Army, there is not a single light or heavy machine gun in this long line. Some soldiers are carrying long rifles behind their backs, and they don't even have guns.

Some of them are carrying shotguns, which use black powder and have a range of only more than ten meters. The lethality may not be more than ten meters away. Maybe if you stand ten meters away, you may not be able to shoot.

Beat to death.

The lethality of black powder is really limited.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were also many hand grenades filled with black powder, which were as powerful as larger firecrackers.

"Sichuan Army, company commander, is this Sichuan?" Er Lengzi lay on the ground and looked at the troops passing in front of them, "Their weapons and equipment are too backward."

"Yes." Xia Yuan said with emotion, such a team will be exhausted in a short time when it comes to the battle of Songhu.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, then patted the two idiots: "Let's go, let's follow."

The two of them followed the Sichuan army and planned to attack Zhongzao Bang with them.

"Brother, which army are you from?" A brother from the Sichuan Army who saw the two people meeting each other asked.

"Yudi was dispersed by the Japanese. Which unit do you belong to?"

"Sichuan Army, 20th Army, 26th Division."

"Where did it come from?"

"What's the name in front of you, Chen? Chen Jiaxing."

When the Sichuan Army first came out of Sichuan, it was actually not well-received. The Sichuan Army had poor equipment and poor discipline. It was a miscellaneous army among miscellaneous troops.

How backward are their weapons? There are only a few soldiers with better rifles. The vast majority of the soldiers use old sleeves. Those with guns have no bullets. Most of them have no guns and carry homemade red tassel guns.

, the sword ran to the battlefield.

The Sichuan Army's current reputation was earned step by step with blood, life, and loyalty.

The representative among them is none other than the Twentieth Army.

The 20th Army was the first batch of Sichuan troops to leave Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War. Their equipment was ridiculously poor.

There is a majestic army, but each regiment only has four mortars, the entire army does not have a towed gun, each company only has two to three light machine guns, and some companies have none at all, and the infantry squad cannot even fire a rifle.

When the 20th Army first arrived in Shanghai, Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the 19th Army, did not believe that it was a regular army at all.

The Sichuan Army and the 20th Army are led by Yang Sen. Their mission is to counterattack Chenjiaxing and Dunwu Temple on the north bank of Zhongzao Bang. These two positions have been occupied by the Japanese army and the national army cannot penetrate. In addition, the war in Zhongzao has begun to become tense. They can use

All the troops have been put into battle, but there are no counterattack troops.

The Sichuan army arrived in time. When they arrived at the Songhu battlefield that day, they were assigned a counterattack mission by their superiors.

Chenjiahang and Dunwu Temple were the front lines of the Zozaobang War, and the Japanese elite infantry regiment was in this area.

Xue Yue sent this force not because he thought the Twentieth Army was more capable of fighting, but because he purely regarded the Twentieth Army as a human shield to consume the Japanese army's firepower and troops.

It’s the same reason as when we first came out of Yudi and first arrived in Songhu, the new military battalions were sent to the battlefield.

The Chinese army has cannon fodder, and the Japanese army also has cannon fodder.

The Japanese 101st Division currently attacking Ezoabang is actually the cannon fodder of the Japanese 13th Division, a Class A division.

That night, we quickly arrived at the south bank of Zhaizao Bang to prepare for the counterattack.

Xia Yuan passed from Luodian to Yangxing, participated in the bloody battle of Luodian, and fought the blocking battle of Yangxing. This was the first counterattack. That night, he decided to follow the Sichuan army to counterattack the Japanese army in Chenjiaxing and Dunwu Temple.

The light rain was falling hazily.

The sky is getting gloomier.

Rumbling artillery fire came from far away in the sky, lighting up half of the sky, and thin rain fell from the thick clouds in the sky, hitting the bamboo hats worn by the troops of the 20th Army.

The skeletons on both sides of the road attracted the attention of many Sichuan soldiers. They watched quietly and moved forward cautiously. During the whole process, no one said anything or spoke. They all moved forward in silence.

Right in front of them, a Japanese regiment occupied the Chenjiaxing line.

"Gua Wa Zi, what's your name?"

"Xia Yuan."

"What a good name. Does it come from Yudi?"

"Um."

"Then you fought the Japanese too early. Are the Japanese scary?"

"It's not scary. They have one nose and two eyes, so they're not scary."

Xia Yuan chatted quietly with a few veterans of the Sichuan Army. They followed the team and groped forward on the broken rubble.

In the Sichuan army, there were also some defeated soldiers who joined on the road and wanted to fight with the Sichuan army, but the number was very small. Many of these defeated soldiers came with deep hatred. Without deep hatred, the defeated soldiers would not follow the Sichuan army to the position.

After all, the weapons and equipment of the Sichuan Army are too inferior, and they don't look like a regular army.

Many veterans will give priority to joining the regular army. Such troops can fight and kill Japanese Japs, and their chances of survival will be much higher.

At night, the Chinese army did not launch a counterattack on Chen Jiaxing, which aroused the alert of the Japanese army. The Japanese army sent scouts to explore the contact area between China and Japan.

The troops hit.

Bang bang bang!

Both sides exchanged blows.

"Discovered!"

"Japs, Japs!"

There was a commotion in the quiet team. Fierce gunshots came from the front, followed by the voice of a messenger. The originally relatively orderly team advanced slowly, and suddenly became vigorous and vigorous, carrying long guns.

The Sichuan troops with short artillery quickly rushed towards the Japanese positions.

"Quick, follow up!"

"Don't fall behind."

"Gua Wazi, follow me, the little Japanese devil's bullets don't have eyes."

"I saw Japs."

call out!

A flare thrown by Japanese soldiers lit up half the sky.

I saw thousands of Sichuan Army brothers stepping on the wet mud among the ruins and rushing towards the Japanese positions in the wilderness.

A dense mass of darkness.

"What is that? It looks so beautiful."

"I don't know."

Ta-ta-ta.

The Japanese machine guns rang out.

The bright flares gradually extinguished, and the bright light that illuminated half of the sky dimmed. The bullets formed long chains of fire, harvesting the lives of the Sichuan soldiers.

Xia Yuan looked at the Sichuan soldiers who were rushing at the front and fell to the ground under machine gun fire from the Japanese. As soon as they fell, they fell into pieces. The Sichuan soldiers attacking from behind quickly crawled to the ground. They did not flinch and used the surrounding bunkers to continue to attack.

The Japs launched an attack on their positions.

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army are really not afraid of death. To them, death is not like something that will happen to them.

Xia Yuan saw the Sichuan soldiers rushing forward to defeat the Japanese machine gun fire. In just a few minutes, a hundred people died under the Japanese machine gun fire.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Took out the Japanese machine gun firepower."

"Can't fight."

"Gua Wa Zi, watch carefully."

"You don't want your life?"

The shouts one after another added to the confusion of the team.

"Second fool, let's go!"

Xia Yuan followed the crowd and kept rushing forward. When the people in front fell, the people behind them rushed up.

Crowded and chaotic.

Under their feet were the corpses of brothers from the Sichuan Army. Some of them had just fallen. The corpses were still warm, but soon they became cold. They were still wearing shabby military uniforms and straw sandals on their feet.

Some people don't even have decent weapons and equipment, and use cold weapons such as spears and broadswords.

Their fearless spirit infected Xia Yuan.

In Chen Jiaxing, the Japanese machine gun fire was particularly fierce, and grenade shells fell into the ranks of the Sichuan Army brothers.

There is no doubt that this is like a meat grinder, devouring the lives of the Sichuan Army brothers.

The veterans who had rifles relied on the bunker fortifications to fight back at the Japanese positions. Those who did not have rifles used human shields to resist the Japanese bullets.

They crawled on the ground, reached a sufficient position, and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions. They rushed into the Japanese forward positions and stabbed the Japanese soldiers' bodies with their sharp spears.

The Japanese counterattack arrived quickly. The Japanese fought fiercely. When they saw the Sichuan soldiers holding spears and machetes, they shot them from a distance. The machine gun fire behind them suppressed them. These people couldn't hit them at all.

The casualties of the Twentieth Army began to increase as time went by.

The main attacking Third Company of the 26th Division, as the vanguard, fearlessly launched an attack on the Japanese positions, shuttled between the ruined positions, and as far as the eye could see, every few seconds, they could see a Sichuan Army brother

He fell to the ground, his life or death uncertain.

"superior!"

Another suppressed roar came from the right, it was the Sichuan army coming from the flank. They walked along the broken streets and encountered a small group of Japanese troops. Before they could react, the Japanese fired first, and the bullets rubbed against each other.

The air penetrated into their bodies.

Some Sichuan Army brothers rushed forward with machetes in their hands.

This was a bloody battle. The previous battles had accumulated bones all over the ground. The arrival of the Sichuan army increased the thickness of the bones.

The Sichuan Army brothers were not afraid of death. They fought hard with the Japanese and used their numbers to resist the Japanese's machine guns, tanks and artillery.

There were screams everywhere.

Xia Yuan had already launched an operation. The machine gun firepower of the Japanese army's forward position was the first obstacle to the Sichuan army, causing huge sacrifices to the attacking troops. More than half of the three companies of the blasting company suffered casualties. The company commander still organized the blasters to go blasting.

The Japanese machine gun firepower point.

There was a thick smell of blood floating in the air.

"We can't defeat them! There are infantry on both sides of the Japanese machine gun firepower point, so we can't defeat them by charging hard."

"If you can't beat me, you'll still beat me. When I die, bury me here. Even if I don't have a pulse, I'll leave it to your command."

"Don't do anything stupid, I'll go!"

A new round of blasting begins.

A squad of soldiers held cluster grenades and crawled on the ground. The rainwater flowing down from the high slope was mixed with blood. They passed through the skeletons that fell to the ground one after another and approached the Japanese positions.

Bullets intertwined around them, rubbing the air and disturbing their minds.

The second squad leader was a man with a Chinese character and a height of 1.7 meters. He was afraid that the Japanese would not find him among the pile of bones. The chain of fire formed by the machine gun fire was very long, like a whip.

There are brilliant flares flashing above the head. They are very beautiful, but they hide deadly dangers.

He waited quietly for the thing to go out.

At the moment of extinction, the whole world becomes dim.

Lying on the ground, he quickly crawled forward using his hands and feet. Before he could get close to the position, he was discovered by the Japanese.

"Chinese!"

Puff!

The bullet hit, and luckily he lay down behind a corpse. The bullet hit the corpse. The second squad leader clearly heard the sound of the bullet sinking into the flesh.

He calmed down and looked at the bones above his head. They were seriously decayed.

They are not the corpses of Sichuan soldiers.

Even though it was raining, it couldn't cover up the putrid stench.

"Thank you brother, I will kill the Japanese devils."

The second squad leader murmured and continued to climb forward.

There were fewer and fewer Sichuan Army brothers from the second squadron accompanying him. There were more than a dozen of them, and only three of them died.

They are the last hope.

The second squad leader climbed quickly and was close to the Japanese's forward position, but he couldn't get up. He was suppressed by the Japanese riflemen.

It was raining, but everything around him could be seen clearly. The flames of artillery fire and the long-ignited flares provided a light source for the Japanese, and naturally they could see the crawling figures on the ground.

"Machine gun, hurry up, suppress the firepower of the Japanese."

The machine gunner of the third company held the light machine gun, ran to an open area, lay down on the ground, put the machine gun on a stand, aimed at the Japanese machine gun fire points and the infantry on both sides, pulled the trigger, and the machine gun fired, and the second squad leader suddenly felt

The pressure of the bullets flying overhead suddenly decreased, and he realized that this was a good opportunity.

He jumped out from behind the bunker, not caring about so many things, and rushed towards the Japanese machine gun fire.

It's obviously only more than ten meters, but it seems like several kilometers.

The second squad leader was shot, hit in the body by a Japanese rifle, and fell to the ground, uncertain whether he was alive or dead. The soldiers of the third company in the rear all clenched their hands, and their machine gunners saw them fall in the muzzle flames of the Japanese.

The second squad leader, his eyes were splitting, he pulled the trigger, and the light machine gun erupted with an angry roar.

"Reorganize the explosion, quickly!"

The third company commander clenched his fists and ordered a squad to charge forward again.

Sudden.

The Japanese machine gun firepower was misfired.

Everyone was stunned.

The machine gun fire point went off without warning.

A few seconds later, the machine gun fire point spurted flames again.

It seems that the stalling just now was just an illusion.

Bang!

There was a crisp sound of gunfire from behind them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Japanese machine gun firepower went out again, and everyone was shocked.

"Blow it up!"

The third company commander immediately shouted and rushed forward with his men. With so many people dead, they must seize this opportunity.

Now it was the Japanese army's turn to panic. They still didn't know what was happening in the machine gun firepower point, but the sudden stop of machine gun firepower could not suppress the attacking Sichuan army brothers. What made them even more horrified was that the Chinese who had been defeated earlier

The man actually stood up and jumped into the machine gun fire.

With a deafening roar, the machine gun fire points standing on the forward position disappeared into thin air.

In an instant, the Sichuan army jumped out from behind, with a loud killing sound, and soon occupied the Japanese frontline.

As the Japanese forward positions in Xia Yuan's direction were captured by the Sichuan army, the Japanese troops on both sides began to withdraw one after another, giving up their positions.

The Twentieth Army successfully approached the front line of Liujiaxing, and then continued to attack the center of Liujiaxing.

A regiment of Japanese troops was stationed in Liujiaxing. The resistance was quite tenacious. There was a fierce battle for three hours. The two sides repeatedly fought for the two-kilometer position. The Sichuan army ultimately failed to capture the Japanese position in Liujiaxing. Even though Xia Yuan participated in the battle, the Japanese counterattack was very fast.

, Xia Yuan was often thrust in like a sharp knife, but then he was surrounded by Japanese troops on both sides.

After fighting several times, he failed to break through the Japanese position. His offensive strength alone was already quite terrifying. However, the attack was a matter for the entire defense line. The Sichuan army's weapons and equipment were so poor that even if they were led in, they would not be able to expand the attack.

The scope of the opening after.

After fighting several times in succession, Xia Yuan gave up.

At this time, the Twentieth Army had been fighting the Japanese army all night. They came out of Sichuan and arrived in Shanghai. They immediately went into battle without a moment's rest.

Even though they were tired physically and mentally, they still maintained strong combat capabilities. Xia Yuan admired them very much.

Loyalty, bravery, and fearlessness are vividly reflected in them.
