Seeing that the attacking troops retreated again, Yingji Shiliu was going crazy, and he was also going crazy with anxiety, because as time passed and ammunition was consumed little by little, as several guards infantry
The spirit of the alliance has faded, the situation is getting worse and worse, and there is not much time left for them!
Yoshiji Shiliu is the brigade commander of the 2nd Guards Infantry Brigade.
Under normal circumstances, the infantry brigade of the Little Devil is not an independent combat unit, but operates together with the main force of the division. Therefore, the brigade commander cannot independently command the troops. Only when forming a detachment, the infantry brigade
Nagai will be temporarily appointed as the commander of the detachment, such as Shigeto detachment and Iida detachment.
But the situation of Takaji Roku was different. He was sent to the Suzhou River front line by the division commander Iida Sadugu of the Guards Division to be responsible for coordinating the operations between the 2nd and 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment.
In other words, he was just a liaison officer, not a commander. However, after the division headquarters of the Guards Division was destroyed, the situation changed.
Now, the commander of the Condemnation Army in Central China, Higashikata Higashikata, has ordered that the Second Regiment, the Third Regiment and the Fourth Regiment of the Guards Infantry will be used as the backbone to temporarily form the Eagle Division Detachment, and be led by the Sixteenth Division of the Eagle Division.
take full charge of.
From a composition point of view, this Yingsi detachment is also a strange flower, because the general Japanese detachment is composed of two infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment, supplemented by some auxiliary troops, but the Yingsi detachment is
There are three infantry regiments, but no auxiliary units such as baggage troops, cavalry, or artillery.
Therefore, this also seriously weakened the penetration ability of the Eagle Division Detachment.
Because there was no artillery fire support, the penetration operations of the Eagle Division Detachment failed time and time again!
Seeing that the attacking troops were defeated again, Takaji Shiroku was extremely anxious. When the regiment of the second infantry regiment that was about to take over the main attack was Nagaga Mano, the deputy commander of the infantry regiment, Imadegawa Shigeichi, they were called to the headquarters.
"Kuga-kun, Imadegawa-kun, what are you doing?" Takashi Roku yelled angrily, "It's been more than half an hour, but you can't even take down a small street? If this continues
, when will we be able to rush out of the city, and when will we be able to break out?"
"Hai!" Jiuga Zhennai nodded heavily and did not argue.
Imidegawa Shigeichi said: "Detachment leader, the firepower of the Chinese Army is too dense. Our machine gun firepower is not as good as theirs, and we lack artillery support, so we have been unable to break through the opponent's defense line..."
"Don't give me any objective reasons. I don't want reasons. I want results. I just need results!" Takashi Roku interrupted Imadegawa Shigeichi rudely and said, "If we don't have artillery, why don't we fight? In the end, I
I'll give you half an hour. Within half an hour, you must break through the intersection in front, otherwise, you will be prepared to commit seppuku to express your gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hai!" Kuga Mano and Imadegawa Shigeru paused at the same time, then turned around and hurriedly left the headquarters.
As soon as he returned to the coalition headquarters, Kuaga Mano said to Imadegawa Shigeichi: "Imadegawa-kun, you gather all the remaining soldiers of the first and third infantry brigades. This time, I will personally lead them to launch a desperate charge. If I fight
If you die, you can lead the remnants of the Second Infantry Brigade and launch another desperate charge!"
After a short pause, Kuga Mano said again: "This time, either the enemy dies or we die!"
"Hai!" Imadegawa Shigeru said after a pause, "However, I will lead the first infantry first, and the remnants of the third battalion will charge to the death first. If the subordinate does not succeed, it will not be too late for the captain to charge again!"
"That's fine." Kuga Mano did not argue with Imadegawa Shigeichi, and immediately paused and said, "Please!"
"Hai!" Imadegawa Shigeichi paused again, and then shouted, "Order, all officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Brigade and the Third Infantry Brigade, urgently assemble!"
(Dividing line)
At this time, Shi Changqing, who was on the opposite side, also had a premonition that the Japanese were going to fight tooth and nail.
Shi Changqing called Fifth Battalion Commander Chen Baixi to him and said, "Old Chen, we have thwarted two Japanese attacks. You can only do three things. If nothing happens, the Japs will definitely go all out next."
Chen Baixi said with deep approval: "I think so too, and we may not be able to withstand it this time."
"So we have to prepare early." Shi Changqing said in a deep voice, "I think it's better to do this. I will gather all the combat backbones of the first battalion together to form a commando team. At the critical moment, we can also launch a counterattack against the Japs.
How about I leave the rest of the troops under your command for the time being, and you can also defend the position?"
"No problem." Chen Baixi readily agreed and said, "Lao Shi, do you want me to transfer a group of combat backbones from the fifth battalion to your battalion?"
"No, commando troops are more expensive than finesse."
This is the difference between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang.
The officers of the Kuomintang only think about protecting themselves and consuming others, while the vast majority of the commanders of the Communist Party only think about one problem, and that is winning the war! In order to achieve this big goal, other things can be ignored!
This does not mean that the character of the KMT officers must be bad, but it is determined by the general environment.
The general environment of the Kuomintang is like this, forcing you to protect yourself.
The general environment of the Communist Party is the opposite, forcing you to work hard to win the war!
So there was a very dramatic scene on the battlefield. The same soldiers were defeated by the People's Liberation Army on the Huaihai battlefield, but 800,000 elite soldiers were beaten to annihilation by 600,000 People's Liberation Army! Then, these same soldiers
, but in the Korean battlefield, the Eighteen-Nation Allied Forces were unable to find North, and the U.S. Army, which had just experienced the baptism of blood and fire in the Pacific War, was rushed from the Yalu River to the 38th Parallel. That is why it is said that the Kuomintang did not lose unjustly.
!
Closer to home, Shi Changqing immediately selected more than a hundred key veterans from the first battalion to form a commando team, and then handed over the remaining more than 300 remnants to Chen Baixi. After a series of fierce battles, only this few people were left in the first battalion.
, However, Chen Baixi's fifth battalion is not much better. The total number of them will not exceed 500 people.
Just as they were getting ready, the little devil's third attack began.
The Japanese gunboats opened fire first. During the previous raid on the Suzhou River, the Japanese used twenty small gunboats. After the raid was successful, these twenty gunboats did not leave. Instead, they kept swimming in the Suzhou River to attack the Guards Division.
Provide fire support, but so far, there are only two gunboats left.
The remaining gunboats have been destroyed.
However, the two remaining gunboats have the largest tonnage, the thickest armor, and the most powerful firepower.
The two gunboats and the two 57mm caliber main guns are still very powerful. One shot can directly punch a big hole in the wall of the brick-concrete structure, but that's it at best. The kinetic energy bombs are still very useful for killing armored targets.
It's effective, but it's not enough for killing skirmishers.
However, the several heavy machine guns on the gunboat were still a big threat. The intensive firepower swept over, and the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion on the opposite side were immediately suppressed and could not lift their heads. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Imadegawa Shigeichi raised his saber high and waved forward.
More than 300 Japanese soldiers who had been waiting behind him for a long time immediately pounced on him with bayonets in hand.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion had no choice but to take the lead.
Chen Baixi took the lead in standing up to face the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, raised his pistol and fired a shot in front of him, then howled at the top of his lungs: "Hit me, hit me, hit me hard!"
The next moment, the officers and soldiers of the five battalions on the position stood up one after another and opened fire fiercely.
The little Japs were really anxious. They did not hesitate to pay any price. They formed a dense formation in the cold weapon era and swooped over here with bayonets in hand. The Japs in front were shot and fell, and the Japs behind stepped on the front.
The corpse of the Japanese soldier kept rushing forward with his bayonet in hand. In the blink of an eye, he was approaching the fifth battalion's position.
"Comrades, fight with the Japanese!" Chen Baixi roared, picked up the ghost-headed sword and rushed out of the ring barricade.
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion who were standing on the position immediately jumped out of the barricade with bayonets in hand and started hand-to-hand combat with the swarming Japanese.
However, what is shocking is that the Japs in the general offensive have already approached the Fifth Battalion's position. The two Japs gunboats responsible for providing fire cover have not stopped shooting yet, and continue to target the Fifth Battalion's troops with heavy machine guns and combat artillery.
Each machine gun firepower point implemented fire suppression, and they did not care about accidentally injuring their own people!
"Da da da..." Intense machine gun fire covered them, and the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion and the Japanese who were fighting hand-to-hand immediately fell down one by one. However, more of the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion fell, even though it was an indiscriminate attack.
, but when the Japanese gunboats choose shooting targets, they will still shoot at places with a large number of Chinese people.
When Chen Baixi saw this, he was immediately jealous. The little devil was so anxious that he jumped over the wall!
But now, Chen Baixi has no choice but to fight!
"Comrades, beat me, beat me hard!" Chen Baixi chopped down a Japs with one knife, then took the time to fire two shots, knocking a Japs sergeant to the ground. Then, when he raised his pistol again, he aimed at another
When he was about to attack the little Japanese, intensive machine gun fire suddenly came over him, and flowers of blood bloomed on Chen Baixi's chest.
Chen Boxi's weak body trembled violently, and then he fell to the ground.
When he was dying, Chen Baixi saw that the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion were already depleted, and many Japanese soldiers had already broken into the ring barricade. The combat effectiveness of these new recruits who had just been added to the fifth battalion was still a bit poor. Fortunately, at this moment, Shi Changqing led the army.
The commando counterattacked in time, and with one counterattack, the Japanese were driven out again!
Seeing this, Chen Baixi finally breathed his last breath.
Farewell, Nannan, my mother, and my beloved motherland! However, I firmly believe that one day, the Chinese nation will once again rule the world! Nannan will be able to live under the sunshine and flowers without having to worry about playing in the sun.
There will be foreign soldiers threatening them with bayonets. Farewell, motherland!
