The Gui army occupied the Hujiazhuang forward position and quickly built defensive positions based on the bunkers and fortifications left by the Japanese army.
Two regiments of the 173rd Division quickly rushed in through the opened cracks to expand the results captured tonight.
They must seize the time, continue to push forward, and then attack from the center to all directions.
It's easy to say it, but quite difficult to actually do it.
Just attacking the Japanese forward positions cost such a huge price. It was almost impossible to penetrate and complete the feat of breaking through the center.
At this time, the generals of the Gui Army did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
Hujiazhuang made a major breakthrough in the offensive line of defense. Liao Lei, commander-in-chief of the 21st Group Army, was very happy to learn that the 173rd Division had broken through the Japanese frontline in just over two hours, and immediately sent a telegram to Bai Chongxi.
"Okay, after two hours of breaking through the Japanese army's forward position, the remaining time is enough to complete the central breakthrough and tear the entire Japanese army division to pieces in one fell swoop! Inform the artillery to bombard the Japanese army's central position!"
"yes!"
The 173rd Division broke through the Japanese forward positions and the situation was excellent. Bai Chongxi looked at the battle map with a smile on his face.
Twenty-first Army Headquarters.
Liao Lei put his hands behind his hands, listening to the sound of artillery coming from the front line, and said: "The God of War deserves to be called the God of War. The combat capability of the 173rd Division is far inferior to that of the other divisions, but it was the first to break through the Japanese defense line. I don't believe that the 173rd Division can be better than the other divisions."
Several divisions were the first to break through the Japanese defense line. There is no doubt that this is the credit of the God of War."
Several other civilian officers in the division and the adjutant were quite puzzled by this.
One of them said: "Commander, this battle is not a matter of one person. Although the 173rd Division is not as good as the other divisions, no one can say for sure about this battle. The previous few battles were not fought well. Maybe today
alright."
Someone next to him echoed: "Yes, although this God of War is powerful, when it comes to the battlefield, his combat ability is only a little more powerful. Facing the Japanese gun and artillery, no matter how powerful his combat ability is, he is still an ordinary person. If he hits the vital point with one shot, he will be defeated."
If he is going to die, it may not really be him who rushed in with the 173rd Division."
Although the other few people did not speak, the expressions on their faces showed trust in the words of the two people.
They are all people who have fought in many battles and know the cruelty of war.
No matter how powerful one person is in fighting, it will be useless. After all, this is a war involving six divisions and more than 50,000 troops. It is difficult for one person to be effective.
It’s not that they don’t believe in the combat capabilities of the God of War, but the facts are right in front of them. No matter how strong the combat capability is, can it be stronger than the Japanese light and heavy machine guns, tanks and armored vehicles? Bombing a Japanese tank requires a huge price, especially
In this kind of battle involving several divisions, the casualties are immeasurable.
Therefore, they believe that this is the extraordinary performance of the soldiers of the 173rd Division.
However, only ten minutes after they finished speaking, the communications troops came from the front line with a more exciting news.
"Xia Zhanshen single-handedly destroyed the Japanese headquarters and killed a colonel, two lieutenants, two majors, and several captains."
As soon as the news came out, the entire command headquarters fell into a dead silence.
Liao Lei stepped forward, quickly took the document from the other party's hand, and read it carefully, his eyes shining brightly: "Two days... No, it doesn't need two days. Tomorrow, this news will shock the whole world.
China, the highest commander of the Japanese army was killed by us on the Songhu battlefield."
The military rank of a colonel is captain, and the captain is equivalent to their regimental commander.
The Japanese troops are very difficult to deal with. The troops who participated in the Songhu Battle all know very well that it is even more difficult to capture their headquarters.
After fighting for almost two months, none of the many participating troops reached the Japanese headquarters. Now, their troops have torn apart the Japanese frontier positions. Xia Yuan even destroyed the Japanese headquarters and eliminated so many generals.
, I guess it will be in the newspapers again tomorrow.
Liao Lei was happy: "Look, look, what can I say? This God of War is very powerful. As far as I know, he can use a rifle to shoot down the Japanese machine gun fire points. Who in the world can do that with a rifle?"
Rifle, used to knock out Japanese machine gun firepower."
Everyone looked at each other.
They really have never seen soldiers who use a rifle to knock out the Japanese machine gun firepower. Maybe even if they do, most of them shoot randomly. There are many people who are blind cats and dead mice. They can really achieve perfect results.
, but very few.
Liao Lei believed that the God of War could hit every target, and after all, it was published in the newspapers. His deeds were widely circulated, and many warlords from all walks of life spread rumors that they would take the God of War into their ranks and there would be no need to worry about war.
Even Commander Chen was full of praise for Xia Yuan, which shows that the other party is really capable.
at this time.
The 173rd Division occupied the Japanese forward positions and was rushing towards the Japanese rear positions. Xia Yuan took the lead and led a company of soldiers to attack the Japanese rear positions.
After a new round of bombing by the Chinese artillery, most of the Japanese rear positions were reduced to ruins. Many Japanese soldiers died under this round of bombing, and the positions became fragmented.
In Hujiazhuang, with the ruins as a cover, the attack on the 173rd Division was relatively better. The Japanese's light and heavy machine guns were restricted. Many Chinese soldiers hid in the darkness and among the ruins, carefully attacking the Japanese positions.
Get closer.
Later, after the Chinese army's shelling ended, thousands of people rushed towards the Japanese positions in the dark night.
There is only one regiment of the Japanese army holding this place, which is only more than a thousand people. One division of the National Army has more than 5,000 men. If we attack the plains, 5,000 men are actually not enough for the Japanese regiment.
However, the Japanese army did not expect that their forward positions would be broken through so quickly.
The second line of defense in the rear relies on the ruins as a position. After the tragic plain battle, brutal street fighting will be carried out.
At any time and anywhere, soldiers from both sides will meet in narrow alleys and ruins.
Fighting at close range is much more cruel than shooting from a distance, and the pungent smell of blood drifts over the ruins along with the smoke.
"Follow up. If you encounter the Japanese, don't rush forward alone. Go together as a group. The Japanese are not as many as us."
In the dark night, amidst the sound of gunfire, a group of people quickly approached the Japanese position. They emerged from the ruins of the houses and moved quickly along the broken streets.
I was caught off guard and encountered another Japanese detachment, but because it was too dark, the two sides met each other and thought they were their own.
As soon as the artillery fire flashed, a Chinese soldier stared and found that the clothes of the army were different from theirs. The helmets all had mesh, and he shouted: "Japanese devils!"
This sound immediately woke up both parties.
"Only that person!"
"Japs."
The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
The Japanese soldiers reacted the fastest. They raised their guns, aimed, pulled the triggers, and fought at short distances to see who could draw the gun faster.
Bang.
Gunshots were fired.
The national soldiers also pulled out their guns and pulled the triggers. Bullets from both sides intertwined and they shot face to face. There were casualties on both sides. Then they quickly burrowed into the ruins on one side and connected into the ruins several meters long. A fierce and bloody battle began. Only
Only those who survive will live.
As large numbers of Chinese soldiers advanced, the war became increasingly cruel.
Every section of the alley and street was under machine gun fire or rifle fire from the Japanese army. The National Army's advance was quite slow. Often, many people would be sacrificed if one section of the alley was conquered.
At this time, in the east of Hujiazhuang, a company led by Xia Yuan took the lead in breaking through the Japanese defense line of Hujiazhuang. He collected a large number of grenades, and one man was in charge of the barrier, and no one could open it.
The bunkers and machine gun firepower built by the Japanese army could not withstand Xia Yuan's round of grenade bombing in such a close combat. The company commander of this company was also a smart man. After seeing Xia Yuan's powerful combat capabilities,
He immediately ordered the soldiers to collect all the grenades on their bodies, and three soldiers followed Xia Yuan on their backs.
In addition, other soldiers were ordered to give priority to the grenades on the Japanese soldiers when encountering them.
In this way, with the grenade opening the way, he encountered the Japanese machine gun fire. He was completely unable to withstand the attack of this company.
Capture the Japanese positions.
Even Xia Yuan was full of praise for such a smart decision. As a result, it would be much easier for them to overcome difficulties.
Relying on Xia Yuan, a humanoid mortar, they pushed forward all the way from the south of Hujiazhuang to the north of Hujiazhuang. Among all the attacking companies of the 173rd Division, they were the fastest to break through the Japanese positions.
Subsequently, the company commander of this company ordered the communications troops to pass on the situation here to the rear. The other companies that received the news quickly penetrated into the Japanese rear positions through the hole made by Xia Yuan.
Originally, for them, this would be a battle for position.
The two sides had to fight here for at least half a day, but they never thought that after just an hour of tearing apart the Japanese frontier positions, they were transferred from above. In the newspaper, a man known as the God of War led a company of troops to tear apart the Japanese army.
He drove into the Japanese enemy's rear position and penetrated them like a sharp knife.
Such terrifying combat capabilities shocked not only the company commanders who participated in the battle, but also the battalion commanders and regimental commanders who followed him.
As this hole was opened, more and more companies got in. Everything south and east of Hujiazhuang was captured by the national army, and only the west and north were still Japanese positions.
But everyone knew that as long as two holes were torn open, it would not be long before Hujiazhuang was overthrown by them.
Commander He of the 173rd Division sighed: "With such a general, there is no need to worry about victory."
According to the news from other attacking troops, they were still struggling to attack the Japanese forward positions, but were blocked by Japanese light and heavy machine guns, causing heavy casualties.
On the other hand, the 173rd Division tore through the Japanese frontline in two hours, and occupied two directions southeast of Hujiazhuang in one hour. It was not far from Hujiazhuang where the Japanese were captured.
"Go and inform the combat troops on the front line to use Xia Yuan as the combat center and attack the Japanese firepower points without making any mistakes."
"yes!"
Everyone knows that this God of War is not a paper tiger, but a golden tiger, which is not only beautiful to look at, but also very useful.
The general offensive was launched at nine o'clock and has been going on for more than three hours. It is approaching early morning. After the eastern front of Hujiazhuang was torn apart by the 173rd Division, the battle became a containment from the south and a flank attack from the east.
Xia Yuan led the unknown company and still rushed to the front of the team.
Behind this company, four companies followed to clean up the mess.
At this moment, the battle plan of a regiment under the 173rd Division had changed. Xia Yuan led a company like a sharp knife into the Japanese position, followed by several companies fighting together in the rear to quickly clean up the mess, tearing the hole made by the sharp knife wider and wider.
, this kind of operation is much more efficient than before.
It is precisely because of this that everyone realizes how terrifying the God of War is.
The Eighth Company, followed by the God of War, suddenly became the ace company, and its combat capabilities soared.
On the other hand, the companies following behind did not have such an effect. Even if the Eighth Company had opened a hole, it was still not easy for these companies to expand the hole.
"The special code, it was so easy to see how easy it was for the eight consecutive attacks. It didn't take long for them to get in. It was our turn to fight. This little Japanese devil seemed to be crazy. He was as hard to chew as the special code."
It took half an hour for the Eighth Company to attack. They fought from both sides through the gap opened by the Eighth Company. They fought for more than half an hour before they advanced to one street. The speed and efficiency were too slow. On the other hand, the Eighth Company
, they could not be seen at all, and could only hear the sound of fierce fighting coming from the front.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It can be seen that the Eighth Company is still moving forward.
"What company are you in?"
Fighting for three hours in a row, Xia Yuan was highly concentrated, which was a huge drain on his physical strength and spirit. After taking down a machine gun bunker belonging to the Japanese, Xia Yuan and his men rushed in and seized two Type 92 and
After three twists and turns, I finally had a moment to breathe.
He sat down on the ground, used his bayonet to open the Japanese canned box, took out three cans, and threw them to the three soldiers following him.
From the beginning to now, these three people have changed into two batches.
Following him does not mean that it is absolutely safe, but is quite dangerous. In order to achieve the maximum throwing range, he always has to rush to the front, approach forward, and then throw grenades. The three people following him also suffered casualties.
Xia Yuan could let the soldiers of this company attract Japanese firepower, while he quietly approached and threw grenades.
But if we do that, the casualties of this company will be very high.
This can be regarded as using small casualties to reduce large casualties.
It's dangerous, but it's okay.
It is much better than letting the entire company take risks. This company only has more than 100 people. Up to now, there are still more than 70 people left. If the previous attack method is used, it is estimated that more than 70 people of this company have survived.
, can’t reach here either.
This place is quite close to the center of the Japanese army, and these more than 70 people began to set up defenses all around, staring at the Japanese devils.
They seized a large amount of Japanese equipment. After replacing it with Japanese weapons and equipment, their combat effectiveness also skyrocketed, especially the seizure of light and heavy machine guns. Many of the grenades Xia Yuan lost were air-burst mines, and many of the shrapnels penetrated the bodies of the Japanese and were damaged.
There are very few machine guns, so you can almost see that there are at least two Japanese warheads in one of their squads.
The bigger it gets, the fatter it gets.
Xia Yuan opened the can and found two wooden sticks on the ground. He opened the inner layer of his clothes and rubbed the sticks. After feeling that it was much cleaner, he picked up the food in the can and stuffed it into his mouth.
"We are the eighth company."
"Eighth Company, okay, they fought well."
"You are so powerful. Our company commander said that he has never seen a soldier as powerful as you."
"You're so humble." Xia Yuanhu ate from the sea. His mouth was full of food, and he puffed his mouth and said, "Eat quickly to recover your strength. You're welcome. There are a lot of cans here."
As he spoke, he patted the wooden box under his butt.
In addition to cans, there are also ammunition and grenades, which are quite a lot.
After listening to the words, the three people opened the can, found two wooden sticks of different lengths on the spot, and started eating.
Bang bang.
The sound of gunshots coming from outside made the three of them raise their heads in shock and grab the guns.
"Don't worry. Let your people resist the Japanese counterattack first. The Japanese will not be able to get in."
Xia Yuan was not surprised. He led the Eighth Company all the way in. It would be strange if the Japanese did not fight back against them.
After fighting for so long, although many people from the Eighth Company died, the remaining soldiers were all very rich. They had a lot of bullets, grenades, and rifles, as well as crooked weapons, Type 92, and Japanese
It is not easy for the Japanese to attack them.
What's more, it's a good thing for the Japanese to attack them. Originally, both directions in the southeast were suffering from fierce attacks by the 173rd Division. They had to mobilize their troops to look at their belly. In this way, the Japanese had less and less troops to use for frontline operations.
The less.
After listening to Xia Yuan's words, the three of them felt relieved. What the God of War said was accurate.
The Eighth Company Commander knew that the God of War was taking a rest, and led his men to withstand the attacks of the Japanese from all directions. Their firepower was no longer what it used to be. In the past, there were only two or three Czechs in the company, but now there are not only Czechs, but also
There are four crooked guns, Type 92 and Type 92 heavy machine guns. Each squad of crooked guns must have two. Each squad looks in one direction, which is enough.
The Japanese can't get in.
They had to buy some time to let the God of War have a good rest. After all, they had to rely on the God of War alone to blow up the Japanese firepower points and infantry. With his help, the Japanese in front of them were hit by grenades.
It was blown to pieces and could not stop the effective firepower. The Eighth Company broke through the Japanese defense with such a rush.
Not only that, the God of War's eyesight is very powerful at night. They didn't notice some of the hidden sentries of the Japanese Japs, but the God of War discovered them and shot them one by one.
Not only is his bomb-dropping ability terrifying, but his marksmanship is also quite impressive.
After all, it was in the newspapers and he was called the God of War and the God of Killing. According to their understanding, this God of War had to have a regiment of Japanese devils he killed along the way. Only in Luodian, he led what was known as the 'ghost'
The night attack team wiped out a large number of Japanese Japs.
Later, he was ordered to peace by the 51st Division and entered Luodian to participate in the battle, and then wiped out a large number of Japanese Japs.
Even the commander-in-chief was full of praise for his combat capabilities.
This has never happened before in the entire history of combat.
Xia Yuan wiped the oil and water from his mouth, looked at the three of them chewing big mouthfuls, and smiled: "Is it enough? There are still more here, there are more."
"Sir, we can just eat one. Fighting the Japanese is more important."
A soldier with a dark face, who looked very young, was carrying two guns on his back. One was taken out when he left the province, and the other was picked up from a Japanese soldier. There was a box of grenades under his butt.
It was carried out from the Japanese positions.
The other two people also had a box of grenades under their buttocks.
"Okay." Xia Yuan opened another box of cans and took a look: "Hey, canned beef, not bad. I like the taste of beef. The Japanese beef tastes good. During the war, we all chewed grass roots.
, sometimes I can’t eat a bite of food for three to five days.”
After fighting in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, starting from the seventh interleaved company, there was a lack of food.
Until now, the logistics and supplies have not been able to keep up, and food has been a problem that has been troubling them.
The only time I went to Ganling was that there was plenty of food, but no one could eat it. There was a lack of water, and the tunnels were full of compressed biscuits, so I couldn't eat any. The foam from the biscuits could prick someone's mouth and bleed.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The No. 1 tunnel where Xia Yuan was staying was not bad. When he entered Shangganling, he had been trying to solve the water source problem, even though the amount of water that came out in the end was relatively small.
But anything is better than nothing. Tunnel No. 1 is also the tunnel with the best conditions among all the tunnels. Due to lack of water in other tunnels, people have to use blood to moisten their lips and throats.
So, how happy it is to be able to eat canned food freely.
Of course, he fought back bit by bit.
"You still have to build a base. Only by building a base can you gain weight quickly."
Whether it was on the Korean battlefield or the anti-Japanese battlefield at home, Xia Yuan always kept one thought in his heart. If he wanted supplies, there would be many enemy stations.
If it weren't for the tall man who crossed over this time, who was over 1.8 meters tall, most of the Japanese soldiers were 1.5 or 1.6 meters tall. Even Lieutenant General Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the Japanese Tenth Army in Central China, was only 1.39 meters tall.
Why don't he go to the Japanese positions and get more supplies?
After finishing a can, he grabbed a handful of soil, washed it as if it were water, rubbed the oil off his hands, then grabbed a handful of grass in the corner and rubbed it, holding a gun and shouting: "Let's go, beat them up"
.”
The Eighth Company was besieged by a squadron of the Japanese army. It was able to maintain a well-organized formation despite being attacked from two sides and the headquarters was eliminated. Even the US military could not do it. The Japanese army could do it entirely because the Japanese army was
Militarism, their chain of command goes deep into every group.
The three-by-three system has the shadow of the Japanese. If the company commander is sacrificed, the deputy company commander can command. The deputy company commander sacrifices the platoon leader. The squad leader can command, and the team leader of the combat unit can also command. During the attack, various slogans and positions
,The order of signals is quite strict, large signal, small signal, medium signal are not messy.
On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire is constant, and some can deafen the ears. Listening to others shouting and communicating orders from a long distance can only be seen on TV.
On the battlefield, everyone relied on gestures to attack.
