Although Liu Yi usually has good luck, God was not on his side today. When they wanted to chase them out, they were discovered by the Japanese army who reacted. In an instant, four 11-year-old light machine guns and several
Ten Type 38 rifles swept towards them carrying a dense rain of bullets.
Liu Yi, who was unable to raise his head under the heavy rain of bullets, was complaining in his heart. It seemed that not only would he not be able to eat meat today, he might even have to get in. Before he had time to think about it, Liu Yi shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him: "
Go back quickly...go to the house behind!"
Following Liu Yi's order, more than a dozen soldiers took turns to cover each other and quickly retreated to a small house nearby. After entering, they quickly closed the door and blocked the intersection in front with firepower.
"Da da da……"
The monkey hiding next to a window used the Thompson submachine gun in his hand to shoot a Japanese soldier who was approaching him. Just as he was about to move, a string of 6.5-caliber machine gun bullets flew past his face.
Not only did the head rub off a piece of his skin, but the scorching high temperature attached to the bullet also scorched a piece of the skin around him. The monkey was so frightened that he crouched in the corner and shouted to Liu Yi loudly: "Company Commander,
There are too many Japs, and we simply can’t suppress them with just a dozen of us and guns!”
"You have to suppress it even if you can't, otherwise we will be dead!" Liu Yi's face was very gloomy. He originally wanted to catch their brother off guard, but he never thought that the Japanese would react so quickly when they smelled something wrong.
They immediately retreated, and now they found themselves in a dilemma.
"Ta da da... chirp chirp chirp..."
A string of bullets hit the gun made of blue bricks, making a harsh sound, followed by another crisp and dull sound of the Type 38 rifle. Two more soldiers were hit to the end and lay on the ground.
They made a dull groan on the ground.
"What a fool! Still a grenade!"
The monkey hiding aside shouted loudly, and soon seven or eight grenades were thrown out of the window.
"Boom boom boom..."
As an explosion rang out, along with several screams, the gunfire outside became much quieter. Taking this opportunity, Monkey and the others used their Garand rifles and submachine guns to shoot violently outside. For a while,
The firepower of the Japanese army was suppressed. But Liu Yi was not too happy in his heart. The dozen of them carried limited ammunition, and it was impossible to suppress the Japanese with unlimited firepower and grenades. When their firepower weakened, the Japanese
People will definitely attack again.
Just when Liu Yi was at a loss what to do, Liu Yi discovered that the gunshots from the Japanese troops outside were getting smaller and smaller. After fighting for a while, the gunshots even disappeared.
"How is this going?"
Liu Yi and the surrounding soldiers were stunned. It took about ten minutes. Liu Yi sent two soldiers out to check the movement. Within three minutes, the two soldiers came back and reported that all the Japanese troops outside had evacuated. This news
Liu Yi and the others were immediately puzzled.
In fact, Liu Yi and the others did not know that their sudden attack this time directly frightened Shan Xie Zhenglong. After being forcibly pulled to a safe place by the guards, Shan Xie Zhenglong's mind started to work. He believed that the attack just now had shown that the Chinese
His headquarters has been discovered, and the attack just now was only done by their vanguard. If they don't move as soon as possible, the Chinese tanks may come over later.
Thinking of this, Shan Xie Zhenglong did not care about the small force that still occupied his command unit, and quickly ordered the headquarters garrison that was besieging them to escort him out of the city. Soon, with the "active cooperation" of Shan Xie Zhenglong.
The garrison squadron that was originally besieging Liu Yi and the others immediately led Shan Xie Zhenglong through the north of the city and out of the city gate.
Not to mention Liu Yi and the others who escaped, Shan Xie Masataka withdrew from the county under the escort of guards and staff, and met with the 233rd Infantry Regiment that had been guarding here. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Tominaga,
Report to Shan Xie Zhenglong immediately.
Shan Xie Masataka, who had no time to take a breath, quickly asked: "Tominaga-kun, how is the situation here? Have you found any traces of the Chinese people?"
Colonel Tominaga shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, our place is very peaceful. The Chinese people seem to have forgotten our place. From last night to now, except for small groups of Chinese troops harassing us from time to time, there has been nothing."
Find any enemies!"
Shan Xie Zhengtong sneered: "The Chinese people have not forgotten you. This must be their conspiracy. This kind of strategy is called surrounding three queues in the Chinese people's art of war. They hope that we can escape from here so that we can escape from here.
They occupied the county seat without bloodshed, and then went out to pursue us. It's a pity that our imperial army is not the kind of rubbish soldiers that collapse at the first touch! Their plan is destined to fail. Pass my order and order the 231st and 232nd Regiments.
Abandon the current position and retreat to the north and east of the city. Wait for the arrival of the 15th Division at noon tomorrow!"
"Hai!"
Following Shan Xie Masataka's order, the 231st and 232nd Divisions, which had suffered more than half of their casualties and were struggling to hold on, quickly abandoned their existing urban areas and positions and began to shrink their forces and strengthen their defenses to await the arrival of reinforcements.
After the armored division occupied the urban areas and positions abandoned by the Japanese army, it did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. Instead, it stopped its offensive momentum and began to consolidate the existing places. By this time in the battle, both sides were exhausted.
Understand that it has become impossible to decide the outcome before dawn, and the outcome can only be decided until reinforcements arrive.
Time passed slowly while both sides were licking their wounds. When the first ray of sunlight hit the top of the mountain, it was already around seven o'clock in the morning. At this time, the main force of the 400 Division, which was hurrying slowly, also arrived. Division Commander Wu Chengfeng
He immediately came to the headquarters to meet with Li Chenzhe. After the two chatted for a few words, Wu Chengfeng, who was eager to make up for his tardiness, pulled Li Chenzhe into the litigation county seat.
The two of them arrived at Litigation County under the escort of dozens of guards. Looking at the rubble everywhere and the wailing and crying of the people who were injured in the war or whose homes were destroyed by the war, Li Chenzhe's face became very ugly.
, he cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, when this battle is over, Susong County will be at least half destroyed!"
"Yes, no matter how this battle goes, the people will always suffer. As soldiers, we feel guilty!" Seeing the ruins everywhere and the people injured in the war, Wu Chengfeng felt very uncomfortable. He
He turned to a staff officer who was following behind him and said, "Counsel Chen, you immediately obey my order and ask the field hospital to send a group of doctors and nurses to treat the injured people."
The staff officer surnamed Chen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sir, the doctors and nurses are quite busy now. We fought all night last night and there were many injured soldiers. Should we wait until the battle is over before sending out more soldiers?"
The doctor is coming."
Wu Chengfeng's face slowly darkened, and he said to the staff member word by word: "The injured here are all our fellow villagers. They were injured in the war because of us, so I don't care how busy the hospital is now.
Go and deliver my order right away, do you hear me?"
"Yes!" Seeing Wu Chengfeng's eyes that were almost filled with anger, the staff officer did not dare to say anything anymore and hurriedly trotted all the way to the rear.
Li Chenzhe looked at Wu Chengfeng who looked ugly, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Old Wu, calm down first. It's not your first day as a soldier, and it's not the first time you've seen such a scene. Why are you so excited?
Woolen cloth?"
"I know." Wu Chengfeng also sighed, "But I feel guilty. You said that as soldiers, we are born to protect the land and have the responsibility, but now we have turned the homes where ordinary people live into this. Do you think I can
Aren’t you excited?”
Li Chenzhe also agreed: "It is indeed true that our soldiers have the responsibility to defend our country, but who made our country weak for a long time? But don't worry, it won't take long for us to drive all the Japanese out of our country. Not only that.
, we also want to set foot on the Japanese archipelago as Chief Su said, and let those beasts taste the bitter wine they brewed!"
Wu Chengfeng also laughed: "Okay, then we brothers will also be partners, and we will drive into the Japanese archipelago together!"
"Hahahaha..." The two of them laughed at the same time.
While the two were laughing, a low roar came from the sky, and the two immediately stopped talking. After listening for a while, they immediately identified that the sound was coming from the south. Everyone looked up, but they could only
The rumble of the engine was heard, but there was no sign of the plane.
"It's our plane!" Li Chenzhe's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he smiled and said: "It seems we don't have to worry about the Japanese 15th Division."
The rumbling engine sound was not only heard by Li Chenzhe and others, but also by Shan Xie Zhenglong who had retreated to the north of the city. At first, the Japanese army thought that these Chinese air forces were coming to bomb them. The Japanese troops on the position were ordered by the officers.
I started to hide hurriedly. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see any movement, and soon these sounds disappeared into the sky.
Shan Xie Zhengtong, who originally thought he had escaped a disaster, suddenly changed his expression after thinking about it, and shouted loudly: "Baga, no, those Chinese planes are heading for the 15th Division!"
At this point, Shan Xie Zhengtong's face suddenly turned pale. He immediately shouted: "Quick, quick, send a report to the 15th Division immediately, asking them to stop advancing and pay attention to air defense, otherwise everything will be ruined."
It’s too late!”
"Hai!"
The communications staff officer on the side ran towards the reporting office before he could speak. He knew very well the word "late" that Shan Xie Masataka said...
