In the dim night, low houses were scattered across the high ground, and large bamboo forests were hidden beside the fish ponds, swaying and rustling in the night wind.
All the people in Daqiao Village had long since evacuated, and the remnants of the Japanese troops from the retreating Pingshan Brigade had occupied this place and occupied two slightly higher places outside the village.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the reserve battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Corps were reorganized from the Huaiyin local armed forces. They have not participated in a serious battle since the training.
Their appearance on the battlefield became the last straw for the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers who had fought hard for a day could no longer hold on and retreated one after another. The brothers in the reserve camp fought against the wind and chased the Japanese soldiers. Once the Japanese soldiers started to
They are life-threatening, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Japanese soldiers, so they are no match for the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese captain, Hirayama Kei, led the remaining troops back to Daqiao Village and prepared to gather the troops again. The brothers from the reserve battalion chased him all the way here.
The excited brothers had just seen the Shura battlefield where the main force of the Jiangsu Northern Corps fought a bloody battle with the Japanese. Those brothers who fought bloody battles and refused to retreat gave the officers and soldiers of the reserve battalion great encouragement and made their blood boil.
So after seeing the Japs retreating to this village, they immediately launched an attack with a roar. However, several successive waves of charges were suppressed by the Japs. Instead, another group of defeated Japs broke into the village from the flank, strengthening the Japs soldiers in the village.
Strength.
Now that the remnants of the Japs have regained their foothold in Daqiao Village, the brothers in the reserve battalion, who lacked weapons and equipment for attacking the enemy, had to send people to surround them first after suffering some casualties, while the others dispersed to hunt down the other attackers.
The scattered devils.
The Japanese soldiers had good defensive capabilities. After occupying Daqiao Village, they quickly pushed through the walls and dug holes, turning these private houses into strong fortresses and repelled the attack of the reserve battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Corps.
Although the Japs have now stabilized their position in the village and can take a breather, their situation is not optimistic.
An infantry brigade with more than a thousand people was completely crippled in just one day and one night. This was something the Japanese brigade leader Hirayama Kei couldn't figure out.
Although the village is temporarily safe, the road leading from the village to the outside world has been blocked by machine guns set up by officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and sporadic gunfire continues to be heard from a distance. It is the search troops of the Northern Jiangsu Corps clearing out the remaining enemies.
Those Japanese skirmishers who were extremely tired from a hard day's battle were not as lucky as their captain Kei Hirayama. When they saw that the situation on the battlefield was not right, they retreated in time and seized the village as a foothold.
The Japanese skirmishers were unable to continue fighting in the face of the fresh troops of the Jiangsu North Corps that had entered the battlefield. The only thing they could do was to drag their exhausted bodies back.
However, the nearby rivers, ditches and fields have been renovated by the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the civilian workers in front of the branch. There are traps and water-filled ditches everywhere. It is not that easy to escape.
Moreover, the brothers of the reserve battalion who were newly deployed on the battlefield saw that the friendly battalions of the main army were killing the Japanese soldiers and they were bleeding like rivers, so they also chased the remaining Japanese soldiers and showed that they would not withdraw their troops until they killed all the Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese skirmishers fled in a panic. Many of them found that there was no way ahead, and they were blocked by large paddy fields filled with water.
However, the officers and soldiers of the reserve battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Corps who were shouting behind them had already caught up with them, and the Japanese had to jump into the muddy paddy field to escape.
It is not that easy to escape in the muddy and slippery paddy fields. Not only are the legs stuck in the mud freezing and biting, but they are also as heavy as lead. The Japanese who have lost their strength in hand-to-hand combat are like some slow-moving living targets and have become the reserve camp.
A practice target for brothers.
"boom!"
The gun flames flashed, the dull gunshots were heard in the distance, and the hot bullets penetrated the bodies of the Japanese skirmishers trudging through the paddy fields from behind.
The Japanese soldiers who were fleeing for their lives in the distance in the paddy field paused, a puff of blood mist spurted out from their chests, and then they fell involuntarily into the mud.
But the lone little Japanese soldier did not die immediately. Instead, he struggled and fluttered in the paddy field. As the bullets roared, the Japanese soldier plunged into the muddy water and died.
"This is the fifth devil!"
When they saw the little Jaap shot dead in the paddy field, the brothers in the reserve camp who fired the shots were filled with excitement.
Now the Japanese have become homeless dogs and have lost all will to fight. They were arrogant and arrogant before, with eyes on their foreheads. They thought that the Japanese Imperial Army was invincible and would hit them with devastating blows wherever they went.
The * team fled.
However, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangsu Northern Corps gave these little Japs a good lesson this time. The officers and soldiers of the two battalions faced the Japs' attack direction. The two sides fought until dark, and they just relied on the suicide style to charge all the way.
The fighting method was to destroy all the Japanese arrogance and arrogance.
These Japanese soldiers, composed of heavy supplies and supplementary troops, could previously rely on their status as the Imperial Army of Japan to dominate and feel that they were invincible.
But now they were completely defeated. This defeat was not only a bloody battle in which the entire brigade was almost wiped out, but more importantly, a spiritual defeat.
The unyielding Chinese people showed the little Japanese with their bravery and fearlessness that the bushido spirit they admired and the so-called Yamato nation's sense of superiority were so ridiculous.
The Japs called the Chinese Chinese because they were sincerely looking down on the Chinese. But now it was the Chinese officers and soldiers they looked down upon, and they defeated them openly with the swordsmanship that the Japs were good at.
This created a huge psychological gap for many Japanese soldiers who always felt that they had a sense of superiority. They did not believe that this was true.
But in fact, this is the case. The Chinese *** team defeated them with their flesh and blood on the battlefield. Many of the defeated Japanese soldiers fled in despair, ran, tripped to the ground, or were killed by bullets whizzing from behind.
After being shot to death, they were left with nothing but a mechanical escape, without even the thought of counterattack.
Throughout ancient and modern times, all ace troops with great military exploits and strong strength have their own military souls.
The reason why the Japs were so unstoppable on the Chinese battlefield was because their militaristic ideological indoctrination turned them into war machines, so that they were not afraid of death.
The reason why the Chinese ** team has been failing is not only because of inferior weapons and equipment, but also because of its ideological disorganization, distrust of its commanders and distrust of friendly forces. It often breaks down at every touch and scrambles to save its life.
But the Northern Jiangsu Corps was different. Many of them had a blood feud with the Japs. Some officers and soldiers had their relatives killed by the Japs, some had their homes burned and occupied by the Japs, and many brothers died at the hands of the Japs.
The officers and soldiers of the Jiangsu Northern Corps inherited the legacy of their fallen brothers, which is to fight to the bitter end! They must fight for every inch of ground with the Japs! They will not give in an inch of ground! Even if blood flows like a river!
Because behind them are the people of northern Jiangsu, their parents, wives and children, and they cannot let the little devils just burn and kill them all the way!
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! The officers and soldiers of the Jiangsu Northern Corps have the spirit of daring to show their swords and the spirit of fighting to the death. This is their military soul. If the devil wants to burn, kill and loot, they have to step on their corpses!
