The 7th Regiment launched a fierce attack on the defender's position. It was a bloody mess. The Japanese's formation was very rigorous. The firepower of the long, medium and close ranges was properly matched, and the team cooperated skillfully, giving people a sense of continuity;
Liu Bao's expression became extremely serious. He was a man of knowledge. The old Japs in the Ninth Division were indeed difficult to deal with. Experts would know if they were there as soon as they made a move. The Japs' tactical literacy was obviously much higher than that of the 69th Army. If it weren't for the terrain advantage, it would be difficult for his group to block the attack of a Japanese brigade, let alone two brigade now. He could now understand Lao Zhang's difficulties.
As if Zhang Keming could understand his thoughts, he patted his shoulder and said:
"No matter how good the Japanese are in fighting, they have one head on each shoulder. If one of them cannot fight, they will exchange two for each other. Among our 400 million compatriots in China, some of them are brave enough to die. As long as we continue to fight, China will not be destroyed. Be mentally prepared to be piled here, we brothers will die together, and we will have a companion on the road to hell."
Liu Bao nodded gently. This is a Chinese man's commitment to his country and nation!
"beat!"
This was Liu Bao's answer. With his order, the entire position exploded again. More than 2,000 soldiers fired hateful bullets at the group of Japs. The Japs were mopped up one by one. No matter how elite the Japs were in the face of the rain of bullets, Got a dead ball.
The Japs quickly lay down after hearing the gunfire. Those who moved slower turned into corpses. The remaining Japs lay on the ground and began to fight back at the defenders. The Japs riflemen's marksmanship was very accurate at a distance of 100 meters. , although the defenders were lying in the trenches with only one head left, they were still able to hit the target and did not suffer much in the exchange of fire between the two sides.
As the Japanese fought back, the defenders also suffered a large number of casualties. A dozen 92 heavy machine guns from the Japanese heavy machine gun position in the distance frantically rained bullets on the defenders' position. Although the hit rate was not high, the threat was very high. They were so large that the firepower of the defenders was almost suppressed by them. The Japanese infantry took the opportunity to launch another attack, and their skirmisher line was getting closer and closer to the defenders' position.
When the Japs' skirmisher line entered within a few dozen meters, both sides began to throw grenades at each other, resulting in a surge in casualties;
The defenders' trenches can block a large amount of shrapnel. Unless the enemy's grenades are thrown into the trenches, the lethality will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when throwing grenades at each other, the enemy's casualties are generally greater than those of the defenders.
This was the price that the Japanese had to pay before they attacked the defenders' positions. The guys in the hands of the Chinese were not vegetarians. The Seventh Regiment also paid a huge price. The front of the position was filled with corpses of the Japanese;
The blood and corpses all over the ground inspired the bestiality in the devils of the Ninth Division. They ignored the death of their companions and just rushed to the Chinese position without fear of death. For wild beasts, death does not scare them, only death. It will drive them crazy.
The defenders also have rich experience in dealing with crazy Japanese soldiers. They are even crazier than them, and they are not afraid of death and will fight for their lives. Who is afraid of whom?
When the figure of the Japanese appeared on the battlefield, the defenders also picked up their guns with bayonets in their hands and jumped out of the trenches, stabbing the Japanese with their sharp bayonets...
The bayonet pierced the flesh of both the enemy and ours, and countless people fell when the bayonet saw red. At a time when hot weapons had taken over the mainstream, the two oriental nations once again fought with cold weapons. The bayonet saw red, and even the teeth turned red. ;
The sound of grenade explosions could be heard from time to time on the position. This was a sign that both sides were exchanging lives for lives, and all available weapons were used, including teeth.
The crowd in front of the position visibly decreased. Zhang Keming could no longer remember how many Japanese he had stabbed to death, nor could he figure out how many wounds he had sustained. He only knew that he could still stand, so he had to fight.
His toughness attracted the attention of the Japs. A Japs captain who considered himself a master of assassination targeted Zhang Keming and slashed at Zhang Keming with his samurai sword stained with Chinese blood;
Zhang Keming listened to the wind and identified his position. He made a mistake and dodged the Japanese's blade. With a smooth hand, he stabbed the Japanese with the bayonet in his hand.
The Japanese Captain was indeed a master. He quickly moved his body and dodged Zhang Keming's knife. I don't know how he made the move. While dodging Zhang Keming's fatal blow, his command knife struck Zhang head-on again. Keming.....
Zhang Keming's rifle blocked Zhang Keming's rifle, and the Japanese Captain's command knife cut off his rifle with a single blow. Before the force of the knife disappeared, it struck Zhang Keming like lightning. A proud smile appeared on the Japanese Captain's face;
Zhang Keming did not retreat, but faced the sharp command knife with his right shoulder. He only heard a puff, and the command knife sank hard into Zhang Keming's right shoulder.
Before the Japs could laugh, Zhang Keming stabbed the half-broken gun with a bayonet in his left hand into the Japs' neck;
The eyes of the Japanese captain were filled with fear, but he did not try to dodge, because he knew that there was no point in hiding. The distance was too close, and the bayonet struck from top to bottom quickly. His heart skipped a beat, and the command knife in his hand hit hard. With a pull, Zhang Keming's arms were cut off one by one.
The price the Japanese captain paid was that his neck was stabbed by Zhang Keming's bayonet. He reluctantly followed Amaterasu. From the moment he set foot on the land of China, this was his destination.
The blood on Zhang Keming's right shoulder was like a fountain. He felt his vision go black, and he fell to the ground and passed out. The blood dyed the land he guarded with his life red...
"Old Zhang! Come here and save Captain Zhang."
Seeing his old classmate fall, Liu Bao's eyes suddenly glowed with blood-red light. He raised the box cannon in his hand and fired at a Japs sergeant who wanted to hit Zhang Keming. The Japs fell to the ground unwillingly. In front of Zhang Keming, he seemed to be asking for forgiveness from Zhang Keming.
As the enemy and we were mixed together on the battlefield, the Japanese heavy machine gun positions were afraid of hurting their own people, so they stopped and left the battlefield to hand-to-hand combat between the two sides.
"Bageya Road, order the artillery to fire! Heavy machine gun fire!"
The red-eyed Colonel Isa gave the order to attack indiscriminately. Hundreds of artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets were sprayed into the defenders' positions like a storm, killing groups of defenders and Japanese who were still fighting. Put down.
"What a bastard, you'll even blow up your own people!"
Liu Bao still underestimated the ferocity of the Japanese, otherwise he would not have shouted these words. A shell fell next to him. After a loud noise, Captain Liu Bao disappeared in the smoke, leaving only a huge shell at his location. pit.
Due to the indiscriminate bombardment of the Japanese, the defenders suffered heavy losses, and almost all of them fell on the ground. The Japanese who attacked the Chinese positions were not much better, and they all died on the Chinese soil.
Except for the remnants of nearly a squadron of soldiers from the Seventh Wing who retreated on both wings, almost all the other Japs remained on the Chinese positions;
The first regiment of the 55th Division and the first regiment of the 57th Division were almost completely wiped out, with no more than one battalion left in total. The second and third regiments of the 55th Division responsible for flank defense also suffered nearly half of their casualties, and their positions were stained red with blood.
After paying the price of casualties of nearly three regiments, the 69th Army finally held its position before dark;
A ray of setting sun dyed the position blood red, and a red flag with a blue sky and white sun on the ground was slowly erected. Several National Army soldiers with blood stains all over their bodies and gunpowder smoke on their faces tightly held the flagpole with their bodies;
The military flag is there, the position is there!
"Bageya Road, order the artillery to knock down the Chinese flag!"
A Japanese staff officer shouted angrily.
Colonel Isa shook his head and said:
"Forget it, the imperial army can use cannons to knock down the flags on their positions, but they can't knock down the flags in their chests. These Chinese people deserve the respect of the imperial army, just let them stand there. This is what the Chinese people are doing. Challenge the imperial army.
When did our imperial army dare not accept the challenge? After dawn, we will attack the Chinese positions and use our samurai swords to cut off the flags in their hearts with our own hands! "
