During the three days from July 9 to 11, 1940, the war in Zhenhai entered a tragic stage.
The 194th Division launched a full-scale counterattack on the 9th and recaptured three hills in three days. The results were brilliant, but the troops themselves suffered heavy casualties.
Ding Renxu, chief of staff of the 194th Division, was seriously injured.
Chen Defa, commander of the 194th Division, directly led the guard battalion to engage the enemy.
All the reserve teams were sent out.
Even the division commander Chen Defa was ready for hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
At this critical moment, the 16th Shangyu reinforcements division finally arrived.
Its leading force, the 48th Regiment, immediately went into action after arriving at the front line.
Although they were heavily bombarded by enemy ship artillery and indiscriminate bombing by aircraft, all the soldiers still fought hard and braved the enemy's artillery fire, rushed into the Japanese position, fought repeatedly with bayonets, and finally drove the enemy out.
At this time, the Japanese army had lost its vitality and the troops were huddled on the front lines of Qijiashan, Qingzhi, and Zhenhaicheng.
On the 11th, the 194th Division and the 16th Division had completed the encirclement of the Japanese army.
But just when the Japanese troops on the front line were launching a full-scale counterattack, Houjiacun had reached its most critical moment!
At about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a telegram taken by Houjiacun appeared in Chen Defa's hands.
The telegram was sent by Meng Shaoyuan, Director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Supervision Division, Director of the Anti-Smuggling Division, and District Chief of Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau:
"As of July 11, the 29th year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Commerce held the Houjia Village for three days. Four hundred loyal and brave agents suffered more than half of the casualties, and the Japanese army continued to increase its troops... It was impossible for the Ministry of Commerce to hold on until night... Please tell Director Chen and Deputy Director Dai of the Military Unification Bureau that the ministry is determined to live and die with Houjiacun, swear not to be a prisoner, fight bloody to the end, and die for justice...Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Chinese nation, we will win the war of resistance!"
At this moment, outside Houjia Village, the Japanese army increased the strength of at least one squad.
The Japanese have discovered that the squadron that has been resisting for nearly three days in Houjiacun is not the headquarters of the 194th Division at all.
Captain Taro Kosaka, who was in charge of commanding the Japanese army, could not express his annoyance in words.
In order to annihilate the so-called 194th Division Headquarters, the Japanese army used an infantry squadron and two infantry squads successively, causing loopholes in the defense lines on both wings, and the position continued to be breached by the Chinese army.
But now they discovered:
be cheated!
Taro Kosaka, who was in a rage, had only one idea:
After taking Houjiacun, he wanted to see with his own eyes who the troops who had held him back for three days were really!
"Attack Houjia Village and massacre the village, leaving no one alive!"
"Hai!"
…
"Where is the nearest troop to Houjiacun!"
Chen Defa roared loudly.
"There is a battalion of the 1128th Regiment nearby."
"Order, the battalion quickly moves closer to Houjia Village and rescues me at all costs!"
"Commander, now is a great opportunity to besiege the Japanese army. If this battalion is suddenly withdrawn, I'm afraid..."
"There is nothing to fear." Chen Defa said immediately: "The 49th Regiment of the 16th Division has also arrived and asked them to take over the defensive position immediately. Meng Shao was a popular figure in front of the committee. If he died in Zhenhai, none of us would be able to bear this responsibility. and……"
Chen Defa sighed softly: "This group of agents held Houjiacun for three days and confused the Japanese army for three days. They tried their best. Implement it immediately."
"yes!"
Chen Defa looked at the telegram in his hand in trance:
"Meng Shaoyuan, you are a dog spy, you must not die!"
…
"Fuck them all to death!"
Li Zhifeng roared wildly, and the machine gun in his hand kept jumping like crazy.
There were corpses all around.
All of them!
The Japanese troops came up again.
Can't stop it, can't stop it!
"Suicide Squad!"
Li Zhifeng roared.
"I'm going to fuck you, little Japanese ancestor!"
Li Gensheng shouted like an enraged bull, tearing open his clothes and revealing the grenade tied to his body:
"I'll kill you!"
He rushed out like an arrow from a string!
Several bullets hit Li Gensheng.
He staggered, then took a few desperate steps forward.
"Boom, boom!"
The explosion submerged everything in smoke and dust!
"I'll blame your ancestors!"
Another suicide squad member rushed out just like Li Gensheng!
This is their last resort to defend Houjiacun!
The Japanese attack was repelled by this completely suicidal approach.
But within a few minutes, the Japanese army would come back again.
"Bullet, bullet!"
"No more bullets, no more bullets, all shot!"
"Idiot!"
"Captain." Ma Cheng gasped and said, "We can't defend here anymore, retreat to the village quickly, quickly."
Li Zhifeng glanced at Ma Cheng, a good-looking man, but his eyes suddenly turned red.
Mo Cheng's abdomen was punctured, and his intestines flowed out, but he stuffed them back forcefully.
"Captain, what are you waiting for? The commander is still in the village." Ma Cheng said anxiously: "Sir, if you are in trouble, you and I will both die. If I can't survive, for the sake of my brother, leave two grenades for me. "
Li Zhifeng silently placed two grenades next to him:
"Evacuate, retreat to the village!"
Ma Cheng smiled, and he called to the two seriously injured people beside him: "Come, crawl to me. We will die together."
The two seriously injured people moved to Macheng's side bit by bit.
The Japanese attack began again.
"Damn it, I was originally a good *** officer." Ma Cheng murmured: "I was deceived into the military command by the bastard Meng Shaoyuan and became a bad spy. I can't spare him!"
"Sir, tell us about Chief Meng." A wounded man who looked to be only twenty years old at most said pleadingly.
"Speaking of this bitch..."
Ma Chengcai wanted to say that the Japanese army had already rushed over.
"Brother, I'll talk to you when we get downstairs."
Ma Cheng smiled, pulled the fuse of the grenade, and cursed the same words as all the martyrs:
"I'm going to fuck you, little Japanese ancestor!"
"boom"!
On July 11, 1940, Ma Cheng, a member of Meng Shaoyuan's personal guard, was killed in Houjia Village at the age of 27.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the same day, the military unified position was lost, and the Japanese army finally rushed into Houjiacun.
However, the battle is not over.
The final decisive battle has arrived!
"The last moment has arrived!"
Meng Shaoyuan picked up the submachine gun: "Power generation, 'Farewell, my compatriots. United as one, we will win the war!'"
"Power generation completed!"
"Destroy the radio station!"
"yes!"
Yu Yanchu destroyed the radio station and code book, and pulled out the pistol from his waist!
Wu Jingyi also walked in. Although she was covered in dust and blood, her smile at Meng Shaoyuan was still so charming:
"We're on our way, Master!"
"Let's hit the road, beauties!" Meng Shaoyuan divided the three grenades into one for each person. He always smiled with a sinister look on his face: "Damn it, I'm actually a martyr too!"
Gunshots had already sounded fiercely in Houjia Village.
"Let's go!" Meng Shaoyuan pulled the bolt of his submachine gun: "Let's go, beauties, let's fight for our lives with little Japan!"
