In the early morning of March 18, the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China (1938).
After more than 30 consecutive hours of intense excavation, dozens of main tunnels have all reached the outskirts of Hanzhuang, and are less than fifty meters away from the Japanese frontline. At this point, the time is ripe for a general attack. Isoya
The countdown to the annihilation of the main force of the division has begun.
…
Hanzhuang, the frontline headquarters of the Japanese Isoya Division.
Although the situation was already quite serious, Major General Kei Setani still remained calm enough and decisively ordered the shrinking of the defense line. Only a small number of troops were left in the outer positions, but the remaining main force of the entire division was shrunk into a two-kilometer radius.
In the core position, this old Japanese soldier obviously planned to rely on the village to fight the national army house by house and street by street.
In the telecommunications room, Major General Kei Setani stood with his hands on the sword and was dictating a farewell message.
At this point in the battle, Keiya Setani already knew that the annihilation of the remaining troops of the Isoya Division was inevitable. What the old devil was thinking about now was that even if the Isoya Division had to be completely destroyed,
Even if the army is destroyed, we must also eliminate the serious troubles in the Japanese Empire, and we must drag the Baoshan Brigade to pay compensation at all costs!
"Your Excellency, General." Colonel Akashiba stepped in and said solemnly, "The forward position reported that the Chinese have entered the attack position. In five minutes at most, the general attack will begin!"
Major General Kei Setani looked up at the dark night sky outside the headquarters and said in a ferocious voice: "Let them come. The warriors of the Imperial Army will tell the Chinese people with the bayonets in their hands that the Imperial Japanese Army is not only invincible in field battles, but also invincible in street battles."
!”
…
Outskirts of Hanzhuang, Baoshan Brigade forward headquarters.
Chief of Staff Liu Yi walked in excitedly and said to Yue Weihan: "The brigade, the bayonet battalion responsible for the assault, the guard battalion and the independent battalion have all entered the assault position, and everything is ready!"
"Okay!" Yue Weihan said without hesitation, "Send the signal and the general attack begins!"
"Yes!" Chu Zhongtian and Tang Dashan, who had been waiting outside the headquarters for a long time, agreed loudly, and two red flares immediately rose into the sky!
…
On the east side of Hanzhuang, the forward position.
Li Yulong, the commander of the bayonet battalion, was holding a cleansing box and hunched over in the trench. A large cold knife was placed in front of him within arm's reach. Beside Li Yulong, the officers and soldiers of the bayonet battalion were also ready, and all the rifles were loaded.
The bayonets are in place, and all grenades have their screw caps unscrewed.
Li Yulong's eyes were fixed on the night sky in the southeast for a moment.
At a certain moment, two red flares suddenly soared into the sky from the southeast. Li Yulong suddenly became excited and immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a crisp sound of the horn, more than 500 officers and soldiers who were waiting in formation immediately cheered.
He straightened up and fiercely threw the grenades he had prepared forward.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Hundreds of dazzling red lights suddenly appeared on the Japanese military positions outside Hanzhuang.
More than five hundred grenades exploded violently at the same time. The entire Japanese army position suddenly became a burning hell. A large number of Japanese army field fortifications disintegrated in an instant. In the smoke and dust, countless pieces of wood and gravel flew into the sky along with the fragments of the grenades.
Flying, the scene seemed as terrifying as the end of the world!
In less than a moment, each officer and soldier threw at least ten grenades!
More than 5,000 grenades exploded intensively on a narrow position less than 200 meters wide. The destructive effect was undoubtedly quite astonishing. The Japanese outer position east of Hanzhuang was almost plowed to the ground, leaving the position to confuse the national army.
Almost all the small number of Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion!
Before the thick smoke from the explosion dissipated, Li Yulong had already jumped up.
He inserted the cleansing box into his holster, then grabbed the large knife next to him and raised it high. Immediately, Li Yulong roared at the top of his voice: "Bayonet camp, attack..." "Kill, kill, kill..." More than five hundred
The officers and soldiers suddenly rushed out of the trenches like a rising tide and swept towards the Japanese positions.
The Bayonet Battalion was overwhelmingly strong and soon entered Hanzhuang.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..." The dull roar of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun suddenly sounded from the intersection ahead. Li Yulong, who was rushing at the front, reacted very quickly, rolled to the ground and narrowly escaped death, and followed Li Yulong
The guard behind him reacted a little slowly, and was immediately shot into pieces by a dense barrage of heavy machine gun bullets.
Without waiting for Li Yulong's order, the officers and soldiers who followed him fell to the ground one after another.
Two months of arduous training played a huge role at this moment. Before switching to intensive training, the officers and soldiers of the Bayonet Battalion would definitely straighten their backs and continue to rush forward, and they would never stop until hundreds and eighty people died! But now, the two men
After months of training, the officers and soldiers of the Bayonet Battalion have developed very good battlefield habits. When the machine gun fires, they will lie down!
Li Yulong turned back and signed in sign language to the commander of the guard company who was following him.
Under the supervision of Yue Weihan, all the officers of the Baoshan Brigade platoon leader and above have learned battlefield sign language. This is very necessary. On the battlefield where explosions are heard one after another, it is easy for officers at all levels to make mistakes when conveying orders by mouth, and the distance is small.
You may not be able to hear it from a distance, but sign language has a natural advantage in battlefield communication.
The guard company commander quickly gave a thumbs up to Li Yulong, and then gestured to the platoon leader directly under the fire support platoon. The fire support platoon leader immediately gave a thumbs up to the guard company commander, then turned around and waved his hand, four
The veteran immediately came forward with a grenade launcher, and eight munitionsmen followed with grenades.
Only four soft sounds of "Boom, Boom, Boom" were heard. Four grenades had risen into the air and soon landed on the Japanese heavy machine gun position on the opposite side. Only several loud "Boom, Boom" sounds were heard. Four huge grenades were heard.
Flames suddenly rose into the sky, two Type 92 heavy machine guns were instantly knocked to the ground, and the six chief and auxiliary shooters were also suddenly thrown away.
Li Yulong jumped up, raised his sword again and roared: "Bayonet Battalion, attack..."
More than five hundred officers and soldiers jumped up one after another, shouting and charging forward with bayonets in hand.
They rushed forward less than fifty meters, and after breaking through several barricades, a bunker suddenly stood in the middle of the street. Two heavy machine guns spewed firepower crazily from the shooting holes, blocking the bayonet battalion's attack route.
The officers and soldiers once again lay down skillfully on the ground, and the machine gun fire from the Japanese bunker failed to cause much damage to the Bayonet Battalion.
Li Yulong gave the order again in sign language. Immediately, more than a hundred officers and soldiers of the guard company threw a row of grenades forward at the same time. Using the smoke and dust generated by the explosion of the grenades, a soldier jumped out of the barricade holding the explosive bag and rushed forward rapidly. On both sides of the street,
The individual Japanese soldiers in the civilian house fired desperately, trying to prevent the Chinese soldiers from approaching the bunker.
However, the Chinese soldier was very cunning. Not only did he bend over, but he also walked in a zigzag line. In addition, there were many obstacles on both sides of the street, making it difficult to lock the target. The Chinese soldier would also roll and roll from time to time.
He is extremely skilled in difficult tactical moves such as volleying and diving. Unless he is a super shooter, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to kill such a veteran.
Soon, the Chinese soldier crossed the fifty-meter death distance, stuffed the smoking explosive bag into the shooting hole of the bunker, and immediately jumped into the ditch next to it. Soon, the Japanese bunker was
It was completely disintegrated in the huge explosion, and in the roaring flames, the broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers could still be vaguely seen flying in the air.
The same scene was also played out on the Japanese defense lines on the north and south sides of Hanzhuang. Although the firepower of the guard battalion and the independent battalion was not as good as that of the bayonet battalion, the offensive was no less than that of the bayonet battalion, especially the independent battalion of Ma Daguai.
This group of lake bandits may not be able to compete with bayonet battalions or guard battalions in positional warfare, but they have a natural advantage in this kind of street fighting.
…
Major General Kei Setani couldn't believe that less than half an hour had passed and the Chinese army had already rushed into the core area of the Japanese army's position! When did the Chinese army's combat effectiveness become so powerful? When did the Emperor of Japan
The army has become so imminent?
Even if the Imperial Japanese Army was at the end of its battle, it shouldn't have been defeated so quickly, right?
Listening to the gunshots and explosions approaching from all around, Major General Kei Setani finally lost his original calmness and started pacing back and forth like a wounded trapped animal.
The communications team is constantly sending back the latest battle reports from the forward positions.
"Your Excellency General, the 39th Infantry Regiment has been defeated by the Chinese, and Colonel Changzhi is missing."
"Your Excellency General, the position of the 10th Field Artillery Regiment has been lost. Lieutenant Colonel Taniguchi was shattered on the spot!"
"Your Excellency General, the position of the 10th Infantry Regiment has been breached by the Chinese. Colonel Akashiba and all the officers and soldiers of the 10th Infantry Regiment have been collectively shattered!"
"Your Majesty General, the Chinese have rushed to the outskirts of the headquarters and are fighting fiercely with the gendarmerie!"
Major General Kei Setani suddenly paused and pulled out the sword gifted by Emperor Hirohito. The last moment finally arrived!
"Boom!" Following a violent explosion, the closed door of the headquarters was suddenly blown open with a cluster grenade. Before a dozen Japanese soldiers from the gendarmerie had a chance to fire, they were knocked to the ground by intensive submachine gun fire.
, and immediately dozens of officers and soldiers from the Bayonet Battalion swarmed in, surrounding Major General Kei Setani and a dozen staff members.
A Japanese staff officer was lucky enough to try to pull off a grenade and die together with the National Army. As a result, he was directly shot into a sieve by the National Army's submachine gun. The Japanese staff officer next to him also suffered a disaster. All of them were beaten into a sieve without any explanation. In a blink of an eye,
In the meantime, there was no longer a living Japanese soldier around Major General Kei Setani.
Major General Kei Setani tightened the sword in his hand and suddenly pounced on the national army officer opposite.
"Seeking death!" The national army officer opposite was furious. He raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting Major General Setani Kei between the eyebrows. Major General Setani's forward body suddenly stopped and fell straight down.
