No one will pay attention to the fall of a superior soldier, because too many people have fallen. As long as you are still alive, you will fight until you fall silently, and then return to China, the land that gave birth to him and raised him.
The first round of shooting of the garrison group was limited to 20 to 30 ghosts. This is the record achieved by their group. Finally, they are no longer naked!
The Japs in the Sixth Regiment were all veterans for more than three years. Their tactical movements were very skillful. When they were blocked by the Chinese, these Japs lay down on the ground one after another, found nearby bunkers such as bomb craters to hide, and then spontaneously The ground fought back.
Captain Abe hid behind the corpse of his former friend Aso Jiro, placed a slender Sanba Gai on Aso Jiro's stiff corpse, and shot at the Chinese position;
The machine gun team of his unit also set up machine guns under the cover of the infantry. Within a moment, they rained bullets on the garrison's position, causing the garrison's casualties to surge.
A machine gunner of the defenders opened his eyes wide and almost burst into fire. He fired at the Japanese until he emptied a magazine of bullets. Unfortunately, the effect was not good and he only hit one unlucky Japanese.
His machine gun also attracted the attention of the Japanese grenade team. A Japanese sergeant with a beard raised the grenade at an angle, took a simple aim, and then pulled the firing cord. A grenade The machine gunner flew towards the defenders...
After an explosion, the machine gunner fell, and the Japanese took the opportunity to launch another attack. Without the suppression of the machine gun, the Japanese quickly rushed forward again;
"You stupid little devil, I will fight with you!"
Captain Zhao rushed over in a few quick steps, picked up his machine gun and fired a long burst at the approaching group of Japs. He knocked down four or five Japs in an instant. The other Japs were so frightened that they fell down on the spot and continued to follow. Captain Zhao shoots;
A few hundred meters away, several Japs pushed a 92 Infantry Cannon forward. Commander Zhao had not yet realized the danger. There were too many Japs. In order to suppress the swarming Japs, he could only take the risk and shoot continuously at the Japs. .
Without his only machine gun to suppress them, they would not be able to stop the Japanese at all;
After he emptied another magazine, he turned back and roared:
"Are you still out of breath? Find me someone -"
"boom!"
A 70mm 92 infantry artillery shell exploded behind him, and several shrapnel hit Captain Zhao. He looked at the hot land under him reluctantly, fell down, and became one with the hot land.
After losing the last piece of machine gun fire to suppress the fire, the remaining dozens of defenders could no longer withstand the onslaught of hundreds of Japanese soldiers. They were soon overwhelmed by a group of shit yellows...
Captain Abe held a long rifle and carefully stepped onto the garrison position. Everywhere he looked, there were Chinese people bowing unwillingly. They all fell in the direction of the bullets. No one chose to retreat.
Abe stabbed a Chinese body with a bayonet. There was only a pop sound, and the bayonet penetrated deeply into his body. He still lay motionless on the ground, paying no attention to Abe, the robber who broke into the house;
He is tired, take a nap...
One by one, the Japanese carried bayonets deep into the defenders' positions and gave each defender a blow. Some even asked the reporters accompanying the army to take photos, exposing the robbers' faces to the fullest. There were small streams of blood on the battlefield. It flowed out, dyeing the position blood red.
The garrison held off the enemy for more than an hour at the cost of annihilating the entire army, annihilating dozens of enemies, and did not wait for reinforcements until their death.
After the Sixth Regiment captured the Jiangtan position, it left a brigade to assist the landing of other troops. The two main brigade troops were divided into two groups and headed straight for Shizilin and Yuepu;
At this time, the 88th Division, the 98th Division, and the 36th Division were still on the way. There was only one battalion of defenders in Lion Forest, and there was only one company in Luodian Town.
Fortunately, the main force of the 15th Group Army commanded by Chen Cixiu has already come to Luodian for reinforcements, so blocking the gap is not a big problem.
On the southern front, the independent battalion of the 88th Division's leading troops was running to reinforce the northern front. There were only a dozen kilometers left from the Lion Forest. Luo Ying rushed to the front carrying his combat equipment.
"Brothers, start running. You can already hear the faint sound of gunfire in front of you. Get to the Lion Forest as soon as possible and drive the devils into the sea before they lose their footing!"
Luo Ying turned back to cheer up the troops while running. For them, time is life now. They were already half a day ahead of the reinforcements from the 11th Division in another time and space. This was a life-saving half a day;
Once the Japanese landing troops gain a foothold in Shizilin, the price they need to pay to stabilize their position will be even greater.
Under the supervision of Zhang Wenbai, commander of the Ninth Group Army, the 88th Division, 36th Division, and 98th Division have taken the lead in rushing towards the Japanese landing area. The 11th Division and the Independent Second Brigade have also set off as the second echelon. As long as they can block the Japanese near Wusongkou for half a day , the main force of the Fifteenth Army will arrive in a steady stream;
At that time, hundreds of thousands of Central Army elites will be in a favorable situation against the two enemy divisions. Even if the Japanese cannot be driven into the sea, they can be driven to the river beach area, and then the Japanese mechanized troops can be contained by using vertical and horizontal ditches. live.
88th Division Sun Yuanliang originally didn’t want to share in this muddy water, but he couldn’t resist Zhang Wenbai, the chief education officer, riding his bicycle to his division headquarters in person. He still had to give him face;
With no other choice, he ordered the 262nd Brigade to set off first, and he placed high hopes on the independent battalion directly under the division to serve as the vanguard battalion of the entire division. Behind them were the 262nd Brigade and the 254th Regiment.
The morale of the independent battalion was very high and the marching speed was very fast. This gave Luo Ying the idea of taking the opportunity to capture the Lion Forest to buy time for the adjustment of the main force.
Luo Ying, who was running at high speed, suddenly changed his expression because he heard the roar of the planes. He yelled without thinking:
"The enemy is attacking, evacuate and take cover according to the organizational structure!"
The Independent Battalion had conducted anti-air attack drills before, so after receiving the order, they dispersed and hid according to the advance plan. Before they could hide, seven or eight Japanese planes arrived;
They laughed ferociously and flew the plane towards the scattered officers and soldiers of the independent battalion. This was an unavoidable loss during the daytime march.
The Japs, who had control of the air, constantly sent aircraft groups to bomb Chinese reinforcements along the way, delaying the movement of reinforcements. For example, the 11th Division had chosen to march at night and hide during the day.
The 11th Division belonged to Chen Cixiu's 18th Civil Engineering Army, and was only temporarily under the command of the 9th Army. They violated Zhang Wenbai's orders, and complained when pressed, saying how powerful the Japanese bombings were and how heavy the casualties were. Anyway, that was the reason. Full.
Sun Yuanliang, the slippery man, also followed suit. Fortunately, he still had some bottom lines. He did not give orders to the Independent Battalion and the 262nd Brigade, relying entirely on the commanders below.
He probably did not expect that Luo Ying, who had always been cunning, would march in broad daylight. As a result, they were bombed by the Japanese without any suspense;
A series of bombs roared down from the sky, causing smoke and dust to fill the sky. From time to time, people were shot and fell down.
The Japanese didn't give up after dropping the bombs, and flew the plane to shoot at the ground. The long bullet chains were like the sickle of death, killing people if they touched them, and they would die if they touched them.
Fortunately, before the Japanese plane arrived, the companies and platoons of the independent battalion had been evacuated according to the plan, and the Japanese bombing and strafing effects were average.
After the Japanese fighter planes dumped their ammunition, the rallying horn of the independent battalion sounded again. Anyone who was still breathing got up and continued to reinforce the Lion Forest...
