"Adjutant Zhang, you are really timely. Which regiment's brothers are here today?" Zhao Dengyu changed his sullen expression and walked forward with a big smile. However, he saw Ren Ran behind Adjutant Zhang and couldn't help but froze on the spot.
. said in astonishment: "This is"
"Brigadier Zhao, come on, let me introduce you." Adjutant Zhang saw it and hurriedly came to the rescue and said: "Commander Zhao, this is here for reinforcements on the order of Commander Su Tong, commander of the 37th Chahar Group Army.
Our battalion commander is also the reinforcement arranged for you."
"Hello, sir." Ren Ran solemnly saluted Zhao Dengyu: "Ren Ran has heard for a long time that Chief Zhao's sword team was extremely brave and killed the little devils at Xifengkou until they howled like ghosts and wolves. He admired him greatly. This time he served under Chief Su's command.
It is also a great honor for me to assist your army in fighting."
Zhao Dengyu also returned the salute, and then asked with some confusion: "Commander Ren, have you only come with one battalion? Where is your large army?"
Before Ren Ran could speak, Adjutant Zhang coughed twice and said with some embarrassment: "Brigadier Zhao, we will discuss this issue later. For now, let's settle the person who will be the battalion commander."
Zhao Dengyu was such a smart man. He knew what was going on as soon as he saw Adjutant Zhang's expression. He sighed secretly in his heart, how old are these people? They are still afraid that others will come to rob them of their territory. Do they have to take Peiping away?
Are you willing to give it up to the Japanese?
Zhao Dengyu forced a smile and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a bloody soldier burst in from the door. He stumbled to Zhao Dengyu and said hurriedly: "Brigade, the bridge is in an emergency. Almost all the brothers in our battalion are honored. Battalion Commander Wang is also seriously injured."
, he sent me to ask for reinforcements. Please send reinforcements quickly, otherwise the iron bridge will not be able to be defended." After saying this, the soldier threw himself to the ground and died in the blink of an eye. He was so stubborn.
It took me a long breath to reach the headquarters.
Zhao Dengyu hugged the soldier and slowly closed his eyes, and said apologetically to Ren Ran: "Battal Commander Ren, I'm so sorry, you just arrived and didn't let the brothers drink water."
Before Zhao Dengyu could finish speaking, Ren Ran interrupted him and said seriously: "What are you saying, Chief Zhao? It is the duty of our soldiers to kill the enemy and serve the country. You and I are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and our purpose is the same. Let's not
You're talking nonsense, Adjutant Zhang, if you don't bother the two masters, just do your best and send us to the front of the position." He said the next words while staring into Adjutant Zhang's eyes.
"This is what it should be." Adjutant Zhang's face turned a little red, and he stretched out his hand in an embarrassed gesture of invitation.
Ren Ran strode outside the headquarters, looked at the resting battalion of officers and soldiers and shouted sternly: "Brothers, assemble"
After a while, Renran looked at the soldiers lined up neatly in front of him and said loudly: "Brothers, we are going to the front line to kill the Japanese. I won't say much else. I only have one request. Don't lose our Chahar."
Face, set off”
Under the leadership of Ren Ran, 700 soldiers ran towards the iron bridge like arrows.
At this time, the situation of the large iron bridge was extremely critical, and there were only more than 20 iron bridge defenders left. Okamura Neji sent the 29th Regiment of the Aizu Wakamatsu Regiment to attack fiercely, with grenades and nine
The firepower of the Type II heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun was all concentrated on the big iron bridge.
Seeing that the weak Hanyang-made sounds of the remaining defenders on the bridge seemed so weak, Okamura Neji put down his telescope and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yoshi, messenger, go and tell Aizu-kun that I will give him credit when the bridge is captured."
"Hi"
Having received the guarantee, the 29th Regiment attacked even more energetically. Under the command of the commander Aizu Wakamatsu, they roared and rushed upward.
At this time, there were only a dozen soldiers left on the iron bridge, commanded by a company commander. However, they were overwhelmed by the fierce firepower of the Japanese army and could not even raise their heads, let alone fight back.
The company commander looked through the gap at the black Japanese troops coming up from the front, and laughed miserably. He waved to the more than ten soldiers around him. More than ten soldiers gathered around, and the company commander said in a low voice.
The voice said: "Brothers, we may have to explain here today, are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid of the ball. I killed three little Japs today, so death is enough." A veteran with a pockmarked face said nonchalantly.
"That's right, we killed so many Japanese today, even if we die, it's worth it."
The company commander laughed loudly and said: "Okay, it's fate that we can die together today. Brothers, take the grenades you have on you. When the Japanese come, we will give them a shower of flowers."
Soon there were more than a dozen grenades in front of the company commander. He gathered the grenades together and looked through the cracks. He saw that the Japanese army had arrived less than thirty meters away from the iron bridge. He slowly looked around
In a circle, more than a dozen brothers struggled to surround him.
He was about to pull the fuse when suddenly a loud shout came from behind the iron bridge, followed by a burst of rapid gunfire. Everyone was surprised to see that it was a team wearing colorful clothes one after another.
They rushed into their trenches, the weapons in their hands spraying flames.
Later, the surviving company commander recalled: At that time, I already thought I was going to die, and I was ready to pull the fuse. Who knew that the Chahar army came from behind and killed them? Their weapons were really powerful. They were all
Automatic weapons or semi-automatic weapons, good guys, the sound of the gunfire is like fried beans, and the little devil in front suddenly becomes a bear. Hahaha
When Ren Ran rushed to the big iron bridge, he found that the situation was extremely critical. The Japanese army had already rushed to a place less than thirty meters away from the defenders' position. Ren Ran could not care about so much anymore and led the whole battalion to open fire.
Rushed over.
The Japanese army was stunned by the sudden firepower. Before they could react, a charging squadron was beaten with bruises and swollen faces. Dozens of corpses were left rolling and crawling at the front of the position.
He retreated.
"Baga, where did this bastard army come from?" They were about to attack the position, but they were beaten and rolled back. This made the captain of the 29th Regiment, who was originally very happy,
How embarrassed was Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu?
"Asshole, order the First Battalion to restart the attack. If he can't defeat him, he should have his own disembowelment to apologize to the emperor." In anger, Colonel Aizuwakamatsu waved his command sword and roared loudly.
"Hi"
Unlike Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu, Okamura Neiji, who was watching the battle from behind, looked solemn. He found that the Chinese troops coming from behind for reinforcements were different from the original defenders. First of all, their uniforms were different, and their weapons were also very different. From just now
Judging from their firepower density, this firepower density is beyond the reach of even the Imperial Army. Chahar must be the Chahar Thirty-seventh Army that has been famous for a long time but has never had any contact with it.
At this time, Ren Ran, who rushed into the trenches, came to the remaining dozen defenders on the position and said with a solemn expression: "Brothers, your mission has been completed. Now we will take over this position."
The company commander looked at Ren Ran blankly for a while, then suddenly sat on the ground with his head in his hands and cried loudly: "Why did you come here? Of our more than 300 brothers, only these ten are left alive.
Wuwu, the camp is dead, and all the brothers are dead."
Seeing the captain crying so heartbreakingly, Ren Ran and the brothers behind him couldn't help but feel sad. They knew that if they hadn't come, all these dozen brothers would have to be left here today.
Already.
Ren Ran gently hugged the company commander's shoulders and said solemnly: "Brothers, you can rest assured and go back to rest. Leave this place to us."
After crying for a while, the company commander took Ren Ran's hand and said seriously: "Sir, I can see that you should have come from Chahar. This position is 315 meters long and 53 meters wide.
Mi, I've given you every inch of it. You must keep it and never give it to Japan. Can you promise me?"
Ren Ran solemnly said: "Don't worry, as long as my troops and I are still ordered to stay here, I guarantee that not an inch of our position will be handed over to the little Japs."
"The whole first battalion is here, salute our brave brothers of the 29th Army." As soon as the words were finished, all the soldiers of the first battalion saluted these brave soldiers of the 29th Army.
military salute
The company commander also solemnly raised his right hand in return. Only then did Ren Ran find out to his surprise that three fingers were missing from his right hand.
Seeing these dozen soldiers supporting each other towards the rear, Ren Ran was just about to give an order when a soldier responsible for monitoring the front warned: "The camp, the Japanese are coming."
"Why don't you even give me time to set up the position?" Ren Ran spat and shouted loudly: "First company, second company, enter the position and the artillery battery goes to the back to set up the position."
Following Ren Ran's order, the soldiers set up their weapons one after another, boxes of grenades were distributed, and mg34 also set up tripods and loaded their ammunition chains.
The one attacking this time was the first brigade of the 29th Regiment that was in charge of the attack just now. The brigade captain had just been scolded by the brigade captain and was furious. This time he ordered the entire brigade to attack.
.
He divided the whole brigade into ten attack waves, preparing to defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side in one fell swoop. This attack method was the famous pig attack of the Japanese army. It is also called a wave attack, which means it is as continuous as a wave.
Continue until the target is defeated.
The characteristic of this tactic is that ten waves of attacks are continuous without stopping. When the previous attack fails, the attack will never stop. The second wave of attacks will continue until the tenth wave of attacks is completed.
Then it returned to the first wave and continued without stopping. However, this attack on Potts also had its weaknesses, that is, the casualties were too high, so Japanese commanders generally did not use this tactic easily.
It is difficult for the general Chinese army to resist this kind of continuous attack, because an army with poor weapons and equipment and poor mental quality cannot withstand such an attack.
Today, it was the captain who was so anxious that he used this magic weapon. However, today he faced Commander Su's army, which had always emphasized fire suppression. This captain was destined to be disappointed.
"Attention, everyone, wait until the Japs enter three hundred meters before shooting. The snipers should focus on killing the Japs' grenadiers." Ren Ran, who was busy deploying his troops, did not forget to give the order.
"Kill!" As soon as the Japanese army captain gave the order to attack, the first wave of Japanese attacks came immediately.
"Stand still, everyone. Pay attention. No one is allowed to shoot until the kid is within three hundred meters." Ren Ran kept patrolling the position.
The Japanese army finally rushed over and got closer slowly. Five hundred meters, four hundred, three hundred and fifty meters. Until then, they found that there was still no movement in the opposite position. It was not until they entered a distance of three hundred meters that
It seemed as if I heard a vicious voice coming from the opposite position: "Hit me"
Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire from the opposite position, and countless bullets flew towards the Japanese army like waves. The Japanese army who attacked in the first wave fell down like wheat.
The second wave of attacks by more than a hundred Japanese soldiers followed, but this time the firepower of their battalion was still so strong. Under the strafing fire of more than thirty NG34s, not a single Japanese soldier could break through.
A barrage composed of layers of metal.
Seeing those Japanese soldiers who had been shot lying on the ground howling and wailing uncontrollably, the captain of the first brigade who was personally supervising the battle at the back felt his heart sinking into the abyss.
He could see everything clearly from behind. The army that had just arrived opposite was not the original team of the 29th Army that was short of guns and ammunition. They were definitely another team with terrifyingly powerful firepower.
force.
Their unique-sounding machine guns have a very high rate of fire, and the Empire's Type 92 heavy machine gun and Type 11 crooked light machine gun are no match for it. Our own machine guns often fire a few bullets before they are attacked.
The opponent was raining countless bullets. He saw with his own eyes that a Type 92 heavy machine gun had three machine gunners in a row, but not even a bullet retaining plate was fired.
The infantry is even worse. The opponent's riflemen are holding semi-automatic rifles. Their accuracy and range may not be as good as the Empire's Type 38 rifles. But what's the use of high accuracy at a distance of 300 meters?
The soldiers of the Empire often fired five or six rounds of bullets as soon as they fired a shot. Under such circumstances, the competition between the two sides was no longer who could shoot accurately, but who had fired more bullets.
Because no matter how accurate your shot is, it's all in vain if you can't shoot. All the soldiers of the empire are now suppressed on the ground, and they don't even dare to risk their heads. Only then did the captain sadly discover that the empire is proud of it.
The pig thrust attack can only be a ridiculous joke in the face of absolute firepower superiority.
The captain had the intention to order the troops to retreat, but when he thought of the cold and ruthless eyes of the commander, he couldn't help but sighed secretly: "Rather than being ordered to have a caesarean section by the commander, it would be better to die on the battlefield to prevent my family from being implicated.
and discrimination.”
The captain then pulled out his command sword and shouted loudly: "We have all the first brigade, kill them all!"
When the Japanese soldiers of the first group lying on the ground saw the captain taking the lead and rushing forward, they all got up and rushed forward against the hail of bullets, expecting to be able to use human bullets like their military god Nogi Nogi Nogi boasted.
He will surely defeat Gundam.
But what they responded to was a more violent attack from the defenders on the opposite side.
The First Captain's wish was soon fulfilled. A bullet flying from nowhere fulfilled his wish. The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the streets of his hometown filled with cherry blossoms and
The beautiful, gentle and considerate wife at home.
Soon, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Regiment realized a bloody fact from their opponents, that is, infantry is always made of flesh, and no matter how brave the spirit is, it cannot make the infantry invulnerable. If you have to
Blocking the bullets flying across the battlefield, the result of shell fragments is either death or injury.
"Baga, what is Aizu Wakamatsu doing? Does he want to wipe out all his troops?" Okamura Neji from the division headquarters saw the first battalion charging forward one after another, but fell one by one, and he was heartbroken.
Can't help but be filled with anger.
Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu ordered a whole brigade of soldiers to attack without even figuring out the firepower configuration and deployment of the new defenders on the opposite side. This kind of person is not worthy of being a senior commander. At best, he is just a suicide captain.
.
"Commander, order Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu to stop the attack immediately. Come and see me immediately after the troops withdraw." Okamura Neiji couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and walked towards the operations department.
"You bastards, where are the grenades? Why don't you even know how to use the grenade?" At this time, Aizu Wakamatsu, who was supervising the battle from behind, was about to burst into flames. The captain of the first brigade was attacked by the defenders on the opposite side.
After meeting Amaterasu, the Japanese troops from the first group rushed up like crazy. But apart from shrinking the distance between the enemy and ourselves by more than a hundred meters, it seemed to have no effect. On the contrary,
Except for the sudden appearance of more than 60 submachine guns that suddenly ejected flames from the opponent, nothing was found. However, the grenade, the magic weapon that our side usually relies on for victory, has no usual prestige, and often just
As soon as he showed up, he was hit by a bullet that came out of nowhere.
"Your Majesty Colonel, Commander Okamura of the Division ordered you to stop the attack immediately and withdraw the troops first." Just when Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu was about to vomit blood, the messenger came.
"Will they still be able to retreat if they are withdrawn?" Aizu Wakamatsu smiled miserably, feeling sad in his heart. Now the first brigade has all approached within a distance of more than 100 to 200 meters from the opponent, and they were beaten so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.
How do you retreat and crawl back? Now the opponent is spraying bullets without hesitation, making it clear that they want to keep the entire first brigade on the position! Don't these damn Chinese soldiers know that waste is a very bad habit?
The newly arrived Chinese troops on the opposite side were too ruthless. They wanted to keep all of their first brigade behind when they met them.
"Okay, a good fight, just to let these bastard devils know the rules. They are not allowed to come and leave whenever they want in China." At this time, on the position in front of the bridge, Ren
However, seeing the remaining Japanese troops on the opposite side being so suppressed that they couldn't even let out a fart, I couldn't help but feel so happy.
Some time ago, his troops had dealt with the Ma Jiajun and horse bandits in Qinghai, and it was not that they had never seen blood. But today, when he saw the Japanese soldiers falling like wheat in front of him, his heart felt like a legend.
Erliang was like a big smoke, and I felt that the blood in my whole body was boiling, and my body felt so comfortable that it felt like it was about to float, not to mention how comfortable it was. No wonder when the teacher decided to send his battalion to reinforce Marco Polo Bridge, those around him
The battalion commander looked at him as if he had robbed their wife. Oh, you really shouldn’t be too happy.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu's First Battalion can no longer withdraw. They are now entangled by the Chinese army on the opposite side. Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu requested artillery support." Neji Okamura was in the division headquarters.
When asking about the location of the field artillery regiment, the messenger reported another disturbing news.
Okamura Neiji's heart sank even more. Now the field artillery regiment is on the way. If the entire first battalion is destroyed, the career of Colonel Aizu Wakamatsu, a fellow from Yotsuya District, Tokyo, who is from Yotsuya District, Tokyo, will probably be over.
That's it.
After weighing the gains and losses secretly in his mind, Okamura Neiji decided to help his fellow countrymen. After all, he was new to the Second Division and his foundation was unstable. It would be too much if he didn't even help his fellow countrymen.
It's chilling.
After thinking about it, Okamura Neiji said word for word: "Order the mortar squadron to carry special bombs to the front of the position and help the First Battalion retreat. After firing the special bombs, if there is chaos in the Chinese army, we can take the opportunity to occupy China."
position."
"Hi"
At the beginning of the war of aggression against China, the Japanese army still had relatively strict control over the use of poison gas, and it could only be used with the order of the division commander. Therefore, even though Aizu Wakamatsu Osaka jumped in haste just now, there was nothing he could do.
After giving the order to launch poison gas bombs, Okamura Neiji secretly sighed: Aizu-kun, there is only so much I can help you. After occupying the China Army's position, the losses of your first brigade will be too great.
The guilt should be reduced a lot, right?
Okamura Neiji, the second of the Three Birds of the "Baden-Baden Alliance" who created the Showa warlords, is often praised by the Japanese as a rare famous general in both leadership and combat. He is wise, insightful, and decisive.
Combining strong will and other qualities, he is a rare talent in the Japanese army.
Although there is some bragging in this, there is no doubt that Okamura Neiji is a conceited and proud person. Therefore, on weekdays, Okamura Neiji is very fond of those who rely on the use of gas bombs to win.
It's despising, but today in order for this fellow villager to get away with it, he had to make an exception.
At this time, on the position, Ren saw that the number of the Japanese troops of the First Battalion, which had suffered heavy casualties at the front of the position, was less than two hundred. The remaining Japanese troops were also struggling to death. Just when I was feeling happy, I suddenly heard a slight sound from the sky.
A whistling sound. After a while, there was a "pop" sound like a bottle breaking on the battlefield, and puffs of light yellow smoke appeared everywhere on the battlefield, floating in the sky above the camp with the breeze.
"No, it's a poison gas bomb." Ren Ran roared from the bottom of his heart with all his strength.
