"Brothers, don't listen to their whining. The officers have already retreated to the other side of the river. They want our brothers to die, but we won't do it!"
The major of the defeated troops continued to fight against the enemy. He was afraid of death, so he could only encourage everyone to make trouble together, and the idea was not to blame the public for the law.
"Bah!"
There was a bloody hole on the major's forehead, and Captain Hu said loudly while holding the still smoking pistol.
"Brothers, this is the consequences of disobeying orders. Anyone who dares to escape from the battlefield will be killed without mercy. All of them will follow me to the front line to fight the Japanese.
With the major's lesson learned, no one else dares to blather anymore. If you die at the hands of the Japanese, you can at least be considered a martyr. If you die under the gun of the military police, you will be considered a deserter. You will not even get a pension, and future generations will not be able to hold their heads up.
The captain who was called "poor" before immediately gave in. He shot the first bird and was beaten to death by the military police in vain. He very wisely shouted:
"Brothers, fight the devils!"
The defeated soldiers all expressed their intention to fight the Japanese. The muzzle of the submachine gun in the hands of the military policeman was slightly lowered. The captain breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he would die if he stayed and beat the Japanese. He was at the gate of hell just now. It's true that I walked away once.
The Third Regiment forcibly collected hundreds more defeated troops. This was already the fifth batch of defeated troops they had gathered. The officers had already fled far away. Luo Weimin's brigade used chicken feathers as arrows to collect the defeated troops everywhere. The reason they used was still upright. ;
The commander wouldn't say anything if he knew it. As long as Luo Weimin kept blocking the Japanese for them, they wouldn't feel bad after the defeated soldiers were captured. The worst thing they could do was wait until later to take over.
The First Regiment and the Second Regiment fought against the Japanese at Menggongling. The Third Regiment used all means to collect the defeated troops. The three armies had men and horses, and the routed troops were as numerous as ox hair. The strength of the Third Regiment was snowballing. One regiment had more men and guns than one brigade. .
At Menggongling, the regiment repelled another Japanese attack and killed more than 100 Japanese soldiers. It was finally dark;
After an afternoon of fierce fighting, the 213th Regiment lost almost a brigade of troops in Menggongling, and its vitality was severely damaged. The first battalion also suffered more than half of its casualties. The exchange ratio between the enemy and us was about 2:1. This made the always arrogant 213th Regiment, I felt like I was losing face from top to bottom.
It was getting dark, and night fighting was not the enemy's forte. They decided to rest for the night and wait until the main force of the division arrived at dawn before breaking through the defenders' defense line.
The Japanese have suspended their offensive at Menggongling. A huge counterattack is brewing in the Langya Valley on the eastern front. The counterattack at Zhongtiao Mountain that Chu Xiong has been planning for a long time is about to begin.
On Highland 918, there was an undercurrent surging in the night. On the first line of defense, hundreds of Japanese soldiers from the 1st Squadron of the Miura Battalion of the 35th Division stared warily down the mountain.
They were responsible for night vigilance, while other Japanese soldiers were waiting on the second and third lines of defense. They had food and accommodation in their positions.
The brigade headquarters is located on the top of Highland 918. There is a small garrison force. The brigade leader, Major Miura, has not rested yet. He has been feeling restless since dark and cannot explain the reason;
So he simply didn't sleep, sat down on a chair made of bullet boxes in his clothes, and thought about where this restless mood came from.
Late at night on May 16, a full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating people dozens of meters away in Highland 918.
On the fifteenth day of the month, the moon was sixteen round. Major Miura took out a photo from his body. There was a woman with a big round face and a child with sinister eyebrows. The big round face was rounder than the full moon in the sky.
Miura began to miss his wife and children. It had been almost a year since he came to China to fight;
The war continues for three months, and letters from home are worth ten thousand dollars. No matter how beautiful the full moon in China is, it cannot be compared to the beauty of the cherry blossoms in my hometown!
"Miura-kun, do you miss Kazuko again?"
Taro Tanabe, the senior staff officer of the brigade, had just returned from inspecting the position and saw Major Miura staring blankly at the photo again. The two usually had a good relationship, so he asked.
"Tanabe-kun, is there anything abnormal outside?"
Miura didn't want his friends to see his softer side, so he casually brought the topic to work. Tanabe shook his head and said:
"The visibility was high tonight, the warriors were very vigilant, and no abnormality was found."
Major Miura nodded, and after thinking about Kazuko, the uneasiness in his heart slowly faded away.
After checking the night, the two of them leaned on the ammunition box and slept with their clothes on. Miura slowly fell asleep.
"Bagayalu, Hezi, you are dead!"
Miura returned to his hometown happily. He was originally going to give Kazuko a surprise, but when he opened the door, he saw a scene he didn't want to see. His Kazuko was pressed under a man, and his soft eyes were about to drip with water... …
Miura suddenly felt a sense of humiliation rushing to the top of his head. No wonder Taro didn't look like him——
"Bagaya road!"
Miura raised his knife and struck, splitting the man in half with one blow...
Just when Major Miura was killing a couple of dogs and men in his dream, on the top of the mountain under the moonlight, groups of black shadows emerged from the caves, like groups of ghosts from hell, they were here to devour the souls of the Japanese. .
After the 803rd Regiment withdrew from the surface position on Highland 918, at least one company or more of soldiers were left in the tunnel on the top of the mountain. They have been lurking in the tunnel, eating fried noodles and drinking drinking water left in the tunnel when they were hungry;
Just like the soldiers standing in the tunnel of Shangganling, waiting for the order to counterattack.
Company commander Sun Lei led a squad of soldiers to kill several sentries on night duty outside the Japanese headquarters, and then broke into the Japanese command troops. Miura was killing a pair of dog men and women in his sleep, and Captain Tanabe had been awakened. ;
Just as he was about to shout, a ghost-headed knife was swung at his neck, and a huge dog's head was chopped off in an instant.
Sun Lei was born in the Northwest Army. He defected to the 78th Army in order to have a bite to eat. He was a battalion commander in the old army and inherited the 29th Army’s Broadsword Kung Fu;
A ghost-headed sword is so good at cutting off the head of a Japanese that he never leaves the skin intact. The blade is very neat, leaving no pain to the Japanese.
After Sun Lei killed Tanabe with a knife, he waved his backhand, and a line of blood appeared on Miura's neck. A second later, a huge skull was separated from his neck, and dog blood spurted all over the ground. There was indeed no blood on the blade. Dip.
On the top of the mountain, the swords were swung, and the heads of the dogs were rolling. Because of Sun Lei, his company had a sword in their hands, and they all had great swordsmanship. They were in the same vein as the 29th Army's sword team;
Their company was equipped with broadswords and was specially approved by the regiment leader Li Chenxi. He had heard the story of the broadsword team when he was in school. After recruiting a battalion commander from the Northwest Army, the 803 regiment had a broadsword company.
Li Chenxi handed over the task of holding on to the tunnel and launching a counterattack to the broadsword company directly under the regiment;
"Chop the devils' heads with the big knife!"
Li Chenxi felt excited just thinking about it...
On this moonlit night, the sword company did not disappoint him. In just twenty minutes, without alerting the main force of the Japanese, they wiped out the Japanese brigade and a small group of guards with only the swords in their hands, and chopped off Miura. There were 116 dog heads below the rank of Major, but no one was injured or killed.
At one o'clock in the morning, three signal bombs pierced the sky, and the counterattack began!
