At the Hujiayu blocking position, the main force of the Second Battalion and the Third Company of a certain regiment were blocking the mopping up Japanese troops, and a row was covering the evacuation of the civilians in Hujiayu.
A squadron of Japanese soldiers quietly entered the base of the Second Battalion. The main force of the Third Company hurriedly responded, while the first platoon was responsible for evacuating the masses.
Li Chenxi, a soldier from the second platoon and squad six, is already considered a half-veteran. The injured squad leader Guan Xiaoxi has also returned from his injury and is leading Li Chenxi and others to stop the Japanese.
The fierce battle has been going on for more than an hour, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, and only 7 people from Class 6 are left.
Li Chenxi used the captured Sanba Gai to knock down a Japanese again, and the magazine was empty!
He took out the last bullet from the bulging bullet bag. There was no need to count on the others. Those were sorghum poles used to fool the Japanese.
He jammed the last five bullets into the magazine, pulled the bolt, and loaded the bullet. He stared at a Japanese squad leader. This guy was very cunning.
He stayed 80 meters away, with his waist crotched, holding a southern pistol in one hand and a command knife in the other, constantly directing other Japanese soldiers to attack.
He was hiding under a slope, and the shooting angle was not good. Li Chenxi tried twice but failed to hit him, and wasted two precious bullets.
The Japanese were still attacking, probably to deliberately consume the Eighth Route Army's ammunition. They were not in a hurry, and they fired at the Eighth Route Army from a distance of 70 to 80 meters. Even with bayonets, they couldn't find their opponent.
The Japanese who was targeted by Li Chenxi was named Junichi Watanabe. He was a second lieutenant with very rich battlefield experience. He could tell from the gunshots of the Eighth Route Army that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was short of ammunition, so his team adopted a method similar to that of Niubi Candy. tactics.
Sticking to you but not getting too close to you, being unable to throw it away, and being hard to hit will consume the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army.
"Bagou"
Another comrade in Class 6 wasted another bullet. Guan Xiaowu quickly called out a reminder:
"Comrades, wait until the Japanese are closer before attacking, and save bullets!"
It's a pity that this group of Japanese soldiers are very slippery and they don't give the Eighth Route Army a chance to fight in close combat.
Watanabe Chunyi was actually a little worried. The longer the time went on, the more people in Hujiayu would evacuate, and the food and flowers would be gone. Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's firepower was getting weaker and weaker, he decided to take a risk.
He waved the command knife in his hand, and a detachment of Japanese soldiers crouched forward and rushed forward for more than ten meters. They only suffered two casualties. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army was indeed running out of ammunition.
Watanabe Junyi was ready to rush forward about ten meters and hide behind the rock in front. He first tentatively stretched out his body a little, but when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he retracted his body.
After doing this twice, there was still no Eighth Route Army shooting at him. He felt safe, so he jumped out and ran behind the rock...
A smile appeared on Li Chenxi's lips, and he pulled the trigger decisively. He heard a "click" sound, and a 6.5 mm rifle bullet almost followed Junichi Watanabe's footsteps and hit him accurately in the chest.
The bullet passed through his heart and emerged from his back. The penetrating power of the 38 rifle was too strong.
Watanabe Junichi fell down very unwillingly!
"Bah, I can't deal with you anymore!"
Li Chenxi spit lightly, quickly pulled out the bullet casing, and inserted another bullet.
After the death of Junichi Watanabe, a sergeant took over the command of Watanabe's team. His command style was much braver, which directly changed the previous brown sugar tactics.
The Japanese began to attack the Eighth Route Army positions in large numbers!
The fighting between the two sides became fierce again, and the Japanese casualties increased significantly.
Li Chenxi seized the opportunity to eliminate two Japs again, consuming 3 bullets and leaving only the last two bullets.
The Watanabe team finally retreated after being unable to withstand the huge casualties. Before the third company could take a breath, the remaining two Japanese teams came up again.
The third company could only continue fighting. Since there was little ammunition left, the third company commander could only bring the Japanese as close as a few dozen meters before attacking.
The Japanese squadron leader also saw that the Eighth Route Army had little ammunition, so the attack was even more blatant. He pulled the skirmishers and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's position.
60 meters!
Li Chenxi fired another bullet and knocked down a Japanese soldier with a plaster flag on the tip of his gun.
There were only about thirty people left in the third company, and the commander of the third company, Fang Yinghua, shouted loudly:
"Comrades, fix your bayonets!"
Li Chenxi took out the bayonet from his waist and hung it on the muzzle of the gun. He glanced at the mountain on the right. That was the direction of Lijiacun. On the other side of the mountain was Lijiacun.
"Farewell, parents!"
"Kill!"
Fang Yinghua roared and rushed out first, followed by Guan Xiaowu, Li Chenxi...
When the Japanese squadron leader saw that the Eighth Route Army was about to fight with bayonets, he felt happy and his blood boiled. He drew his command sword and shouted loudly:
"Onboard!"
Seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers shouted and rushed towards the third company, khaki and khaki collided...
Li Chenxi stabbed down a Japs and was surrounded by two more Japs. He faced them without fear.
The two sides went back and forth, only to hear the sound of puffing and puffing, and both sides fell together.
After Li Chenxi stabbed a Japs to death again, he was grabbed by another Japs and fell to the ground.
Although the Jaap was a head shorter than Li Chenxi, he was very strong. When he fell, Li Chenxi was no match for him, and he quickly pinned him to the ground.
Li Chenxi's neck was strangled tightly by the Japanese sergeant, and he couldn't breathe. He was about to die when the Japanese soldier's strength suddenly gave out——
It was squad leader Guan Xiaowu who saved his life again, but unfortunately Guan Xiaowu was also stabbed in the chest by a Japanese soldier behind him.
"I'll fuck your grandma!"
Li Chenxi's eyes widened and he was about to bleed. He got up and was ready to fight for the Japanese.
boom!
A grenade exploded next to him, and Li Chenxi and a Japanese soldier fell in a pool of blood...
In a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the Charge...
Hand-to-hand combat has always been cruel. In just ten minutes of fierce fighting, almost all the first and second platoons of the third company fell in a pool of blood. The Japanese were not much better, and there were only a few people left. The second company was reinforced. Eliminate them cleanly.
"Comrade, wake up! Wake up!"
Li Chenxi, who was knocked unconscious by the explosion, was revived by comrades from the Second Company. Seven other comrades were rescued at the same time, and all of them were injured. The fatal Li Chenxi had a large gash on his face, which was already covered with blood scars. .
Half an hour later, Li Chenxi and others followed the comrades of the Second Company and rushed to the village. The whole village was filled with smoke and broken walls. Every ten steps, a villager would fall down. Their death was horrific!
A village as peaceful and peaceful as Lijia Village was invaded by another group of Japanese. They killed everyone they saw, robbed things they saw, and burned down the houses they saw. Dozens of fellow villagers who had not come and evacuated were all brutally killed.
The remaining dozens of soldiers from the third company and one platoon tried their best to cover most of the villagers' escape, but the entire Hujiayu Valley had been completely burned down by the Japanese.
Li Chenxi looked at the ruined village with unspeakable sadness in his heart. A day ago, it was still lively and bustling, with soldiers and civilians getting close to each other.
It had only been one day, and the company commander died, as did the squad leader Guan Xiaowu who had been watching over him. Most of the comrades in the third company died. There were only seven people left in the second and third platoons of the third company, and all of them were injured.
Although Li Chenxi was sad in his heart, he was not intimidated by the Japs' brutality. He loudly said to the remaining six comrades of the Third Company:
"Comrades, don't cry, don't be sad, we are here, the Third Company is here! Wipe away your tears, we will continue to fight!"
"As long as we are still alive, we will fight the devils to the end!"
Li Chenxi’s words once again awakened the fighting spirit of the other six people.
"Yes! We are still there, the Third Company is still there!"
…
This is a battle that has not been recorded in history. 87 warriors from the first and second platoons of a certain third company fought fiercely for half a day with the Japs from a squadron. 80 people from company commander Fang Yinghua on down died heroically, leaving only 7 people including Li Chenxi.
One day later, Li Chenxi and others met with the remaining 15 people in the platoon, leaving only 22 people in the entire company.
The first platoon leader led the remaining 22 people to rebuild the third company, but the third company temporarily only had one platoon and two squads. Li Chenxi served as the second squad leader.
The battle of the third company is not over yet!
