Luodian, Zhendong, the position of the 2nd Battalion and 1st Company of the 262nd Brigade and 254th Regiment
Without Luo Ying, the spirit of the first company is still there. They are the best company in the entire regiment and even the entire brigade, and they are also the company that suffered the most brutal battles. They suffered more than half of the casualties in three consecutive attacks, and then the regiment leader replenished their organization. , they are now the benchmark company of the entire brigade, and they have eliminated the most Japanese;
The frontal position entering the ten-mile long street at the entrance of the town was naturally handed over to them for defense, and the second and third companies were deployed on their wings. The Japanese were defeated in their hands many times, and even the hands of company commander Ouyang Zheng did not know they were involved. How much blood has been shed.
"Company commander, the Japanese are attacking again. Can you see where they made the mistake?"
Ding Chao, the commander of the trumpet, asked with some doubts.
After all, Ouyang Zheng was a man who had attended a military academy. He understood the Japs' posture as soon as he saw it, and he laughed and said:
"Ding Chao, what the Japanese call the pig arch tactic is to form a line and arch forward like a group of pigs. If you break up one group, another group will come, one after another.
I once heard Camp Commander Luo say that once the Japanese are faced with a desperate situation, they will go crazy and move forward in waves like a group of crazy pigs.
At this time, we cannot treat them as human beings. We must treat them as a group of wild boars. They want to destroy the crops in our field. Can they be allowed to do so? "
Kechao shook his head and said:
"cannot!"
At this time, the artillery fire began to spread. Ouyang Zheng didn't wait for the artillery fire to stop, and asked Ding Chao to blow the bugle for entering the position. The officers and soldiers of the company who had been hiding in the tunnel before heard the bugle sounded and came out of the tunnel one by one. The station sprang out;
Some exits were blocked by floating soil. They used shovels and hands to dig open them, and then rushed to the pre-prepared shooting positions.
The first company has just been replenished and is now fully manned. The supplementary troops come from the 254th Regiment and the brigade supply company. The 88th Division has also begun to deplete its troops. Many companies are two companies combined into one company, which can be like the second battalion. There are very few people who are well-organized like this. There is no way they are the main force guarding the entrance of the town. Naturally, priority is given to protecting them.
Ouyang Zheng also picked up a submachine gun. Now there are no company commanders or platoon commanders. They are all combatants. The three platoon commanders in the company have all changed. These three platoon commanders were all non-commissioned officers before, and three graduated from Huangpu. The platoon commanders of the military academy have all died;
On the Songhu battlefield, Huangpu students like Ouyang Zheng made the greatest sacrifices. Many platoon commanders and company commanders could not survive a day. Ouyang Zheng had already lived for four days. Among the more than a dozen company platoon commanders in the second battalion, It is unique.
"Itaiya!"
"Itaiya!"
In just a moment, the Japanese infantry shouted slogans of long live and charged towards the Second Battalion's position. Only one of their three companies was fully staffed. The second company barely managed to gather 8 squads, and the third company even There are only 7 half-shifts;
More than 200 people, facing more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers who were charging at them fiercely, didn't even show any emotion on their faces. They were all iron-blooded warriors crawling out from the dead. Who would be frightened by the Japanese madness?
"Brothers, the devils are coming one after another. In order to allow our firepower to catch up, the machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns take turns firing, staggering the time for reloading bullets. The safety covers of grenades are opened, and the bullets and magazines are ready. ....
Like a nanny, Ouyang Zheng reminded everyone in a low voice that the first wave of Japanese soldiers was still about 150 meters away and they were going to be ready to open fire.
120 meters!
The riverside squadron was the first wave to attack. The captain was with them before, but fell behind. Now he is staying in front of the temporary machine gun position, directing the machine gun team to provide fire cover for the charging Japanese.
The squadron by the river formed two echelons, with the riflemen in front and the bombardiers behind. The grenades were redundant at this time. Even the machine gun team only had the chief and deputy shooters left, and the two ammunition handlers each fired two rounds. Their task is to throw grenades behind the infantry. As long as they get close to the Chinese position, a grenade may open the game.
100 metres!
The Second Company and the Third Company were both waiting for the First Company to fire. They all had appointments in advance. The First Company took the lead in everything, and they were responsible for protecting the two wings;
"beat!"
Ouyang Zheng gave an order, and a company of nine Czech light machine guns opened fire first, spraying nine tongues of flame towards the group of Japanese;
The Japs were defeated in groups, and others pretended not to see it. Almost all the first few echelons were used as cannon fodder. When they had almost consumed the ammunition of the defenders, that was when the power of the Japs and Pigs' assault showed up. Now they are still destined to die. stage.
A battery of machine gun ammunition was being consumed visibly, and soon each person emptied a magazine, which was 180 rounds of ammunition. Not too much, not too little, it was enough to deal with the dozens of Japanese in the first echelon. , brought down thirty or forty Japanese.
The remaining Japanese from the first echelon returned from both sides, and the second echelon of the first wave rushed over again. Each of them held a grenade in their hands, shouting Banya's slogan and rushed towards the second battalion fiercely. position;
At this time, the second and third companies also opened up their firepower, mowing down this wave of Japanese soldiers one by one. The front of the Second Battalion's position was covered with Japanese corpses. Their only contribution was to consume the Second Battalion's ammunition visibly. .
The Japs are also very smart. In order to reduce the defender's hit rate, they always rush to about 60 meters and then end the charge. The Japs who are still alive go back to form the eleventh wave of attacks;
Before the officers and soldiers of the second battalion could take a breath, the second wave of Japanese attacks came forward again. They were divided into two echelons, with dozens of Japanese soldiers in each echelon. They opened their standard skirmish line and held their heads high. The ground rushed over to kill him.
It was better to rush back to sixty or seventy meters, and the casualties in this wave were obviously reduced a lot.
At a distance of sixty or seventy meters, they were moving at high speed. It often took several bullets to hit a Japanese enemy. When the number of waves increased, some of the defenders' ammunition could not keep up;
Don't let them rush too close, because if they rush too close they can throw grenades over. The Japs' machine guns are also on the commanding heights two to three hundred meters away, suppressing the Second Battalion's position with fire. From time to time, someone is shot and falls. , resulting in weaker firepower.
Starting from the sixth wave, the Japs' Long Live Charge began to show its power. Since the defenders' machine guns had been firing at high speeds, the barrels of many machine guns were red. The Japs were still charging frantically, and the ground was covered with Japs' shit. Yellow corpses, many of which were not killed, were struggling painfully on the ground;
Some were even trying ferociously to crawl toward the defenders' positions so that they could throw the grenades in their hands and have a backrest before dying.
After finally repelling the sixth wave of Japanese offensive, the seventh wave of Japanese offensive came again, without end. By this time, the Japanese had already tried to get within fifty meters of the defender's position. This distance could easily be broken if not careful. They threw grenades in.
"Company Commander, I only have one bullet left!"
"Platoon leader, the last magazine is left!"
"Throw the grenade!"
If it comes to throwing a grenade, the chances are the same for both sides. If you throw it at the other side, the other side will throw it at you. The only advantage is that they have fortifications that can block most of the flying shrapnel, but some people will still be hit by the shrapnel. Died.
Ouyang Zheng's submachine gun had already run out of bullets. He was now fighting with a C96 box gun. He took a closer look and saw that there were at least seven or eight enemy attack waves left, because they would gather together after two or three of them were scattered. Become one, so that their offensive continuity will be stronger;
Ouyang Zheng knew very well that they would not be able to survive the last few waves. It would be difficult to deal with the Japanese's pig-attack tactics unless they had continuous fierce firepower like Yingjiang. This was still the elite of the Central Army. If they were replaced by three guns and eight routes, , if you can't block two waves and you run out of bullets, you have to fight with bayonets from behind.
Ouyang Zheng knew that he had to make changes, otherwise the second battalion would have to deal with it here. He suddenly had an idea and asked the bugler to blow the order to enter the tunnel...
The Second Battalion suffered few casualties, but the ammunition consumption was serious. After receiving the order to go down the tunnel, they all got into the tunnel with their guns that were almost empty of bullets, and gave up the surface position to the Japanese.
The officers and soldiers of the first company did not have many bullets left, less than three rounds on average, so they decided to retreat into the tunnel and leave the problem to the Japanese;
If the Japanese followed them into the tunnel, they would take advantage of their familiarity with the internal terrain of the tunnel to hide and seek and fight with the Japanese with bayonets.
If you don't follow up, then give up the surface position to them, wait until dark, and then go out to fight with them at night, grabbing guns and bullets, and using chaotic battles to keep the Japanese in peace.
The Japanese had no idea what Ouyang Zheng was up to, and thought they had finally completely defeated the Chinese with the Long Live Charge and occupied the eastern position of Luodian Town.
"Itaiya!"
"Itaiya!"
"Itaiya!"
The Japanese soldiers who survived the disaster were singing and dancing on the battlefield, giving full play to the joy in their hearts, but in fact they were also very uncomfortable;
Although they relied on continuous waves of charges to consume all the ammunition of the defenders, this tactic was also very expensive for the Japanese.
They charged continuously like this. They didn't feel it while they were charging, because their heads were hot at that time and they didn't think about the consequences at all. Now when they calm down and take a look, they break out in a cold sweat——
Continuous charges have already caused more than half of their casualties...
"Bagya Road!"
Facing the troops whose formation had obviously shrunk a lot, the Jaap Alliance was filled with bitterness. Now he knew why many people called the God of War a pig.
After the madness, there is pain!
