Yamada Kakiji never dreamed that he would be so aggressive and vowed to seek revenge from the Chinese soldiers, but he would fall into a trap.
He was confused in the flames of war and confused in the sound of explosions,
He couldn't figure it out or understand why this happened. He was obviously ready.
He sent out search parties to conduct reconnaissance, and he defended the artillery positions with two squadrons of Imperial troops.
Why? Why is this happening? Why did a brigade of Chinese soldiers suddenly appear?
Why? Why was it that within ten minutes his artillery position was gone and fell into the hands of the enemy?
"What's all this for?"
Yamada Keiji roared angrily, frightening the adjutant beside him. Perhaps he thought Yamada Kakuji had suffered a mental breakdown due to repeated setbacks.
Of course, this is not surprising, because Yamada Suiji has already collapsed once. He cried like a tearful man in front of his soldiers.
His soldiers were so moved that they went to die one after another.
The 103rd Brigade previously had two wings. One is the 65th Wing and the other is the 104th Wing.
The two regiments encountered the 13th Division in Sanjia Village. The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days, ending with almost the entire 103rd Brigade being annihilated.
The 13th Division and Wan Yaohuang's troops also suffered heavy losses. When they took over the positions with the 98th Division, there were only a dozen people left in each company.
After this battle, Yamada Takuji became famous. The Japanese major general who was beaten to tears - Yamada Takuji.
So his adjutant thought that Yamada Kaoriji might be sick again.
Of course, Yamada Kakuji is indeed about to collapse again, but in the face of this unwinnable war, he wants to live even more.
He wants to occupy Xiejiaqiao and use it as a defensive position to continue fighting the inexplicable Chinese soldiers and strive for the arrival of reinforcements.
"Order all troops to attack Xiejiaqiao at all costs. If we capture Xiejiaqiao, we still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, we will all die under our own artillery fire."
Yamada Keiji roared loudly. But there are indeed not many soldiers he can command at this time.
Because during the Dragon Boat Festival bombardment, some of the Japs were dispersed, and some were just attacking Xiejiaqiao in accordance with Yamada Kaoriji's previous orders.
The defenders of Xiejiaqiao, the special agent battalion, are resisting with all their strength, although they don't know what is going on and why the Japanese artillery is attacking their own people.
But at this time, there were crazy Japanese attacks on the east, north, and south sides of Xiejiaqiao.
The commander of the special agent battalion, Xia Yansheng, ordered all firepower to be turned on. The Japanese were temporarily blocked at various intersections entering the village.
But there were so many Japs that the barrels of the machine guns were hot to the touch, but the little Japs were attacking as if they were desperate.
"Report to the camp, the frontal defenses have been breached, and the company suffered heavy casualties. What should we do?"
"Report to the camp, the Second Company has suffered heavy casualties and needs support."
"Report, several firepower points on the periphery of the third company's defense zone have been breached by the Japanese..."
················
"Report,......"
"What happened to you again?"
The battle report was like snowflakes. Xia Yansheng finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and roared angrily. Because the person who came to report at this time was actually his flag soldier.
The flag soldier was suddenly frightened and choked.
Xia Yansheng realized his gaffe, took a deep breath and said, "Speak!"
The flag soldier replied: "Report to the camp, our flag appears in the enemy position, ordering us to defend the position. Completely wipe out the enemy's 103rd Brigade."
"Are you crazy? Let me block a brigade with one battalion?"
Xia Yansheng said a little angrily, because in just over an hour of fighting, more than half of his spy battalion suffered casualties. What's more, at this time, his spy camp was suffering an unprecedented violent attack from the enemy.
But at this time, the flag soldier said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "The other party gave an absolute order, otherwise we will retreat and we will engage in military law."
Xia Yansheng yelled: "Who are you, bastard? If I want to go back alive, I will definitely skin him."
"Report to the camp, the first company can no longer hold on, please support."
Xia Yan frowned and said, "I understand. Order the battalion security platoon to come up to hold me back. The left and right wings moved closer to the central defense line.
Flagman, tell the other party. In our special agent battalion, all the soldiers will live and die together with the position. Damn it, if they can't annihilate the enemy's 103rd Brigade, I will never let them go! "
"Yes! Camp seat!"
The flag-calling soldiers took the order, once again climbed to the highest commanding height of Xiejiaqiao, and waved flags to the top of the mountain opposite.
Contents of the flag: All the officers and men of our 48th Army’s Special Agent Battalion will live and die together with the position. We hope that the friendly forces will completely wipe out the enemy’s 103rd Brigade to comfort the military soul of all the officers and soldiers of our Special Agent Battalion...
boom!
A Japanese sniper discovered the flag-talking soldiers and fired at a position 450 meters away from the flag-talking soldiers.
The flag soldier was shot in the right chest and fell down in front of Xie Jinyuan.
He slowly put down the telescope and said with tears in his eyes: "Regiment leader, the 48th Army Independent Battalion is doing a great job. They are holding on to their positions and the flag soldiers have been shot."
When Duanwu heard this, his face was expressionless, and he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist and said: "All of you are here, charge to the enemy's 103rd Brigade..."
"Wait for the group seats!"
At this moment, he didn't want to thank Jinyuan but said again, and held Duanwu.
Duanwu looked through the binoculars and saw that the flag soldier who had been shot stood up again with the help of an officer covered in blood. The flag soldiers tried their best to convey the final message to the Dragon Boat Festival.
"translate!"
Duanwu couldn't understand the other party's flag language and ordered Xie Jinyuan to translate.
Xie Jinyuan cried and said: "All the officers and soldiers of the secret service camp suffered heavy casualties, and most of the peripheral fortifications have fallen. Although all the officers and men of our secret service camp are not afraid of death, the enemy is beyond imagination.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Japanese from continuing to advance westward, for the sorrow of our Chinese nation, for the pain of our Chinese nation, and for the will of our Chinese nation,...
Please ask friendly forces to fire on us. All the soldiers of the 48th Army Independent Battalion will not hesitate to die, and are not afraid of death. They will use their lives to strengthen our country's majesty and swear to die to strengthen our Chinese military spirit! ! ! "
Xie Jinyuan read to the end, almost shouting and bursting into tears.
At this moment, all the soldiers were in awe. Many patriotic soldiers even burst into tears.
Even a veteran who joins the army just to earn a living and earn a living can't help but feel awe.
If, if there is anything that can change a person, it is tantamount to war.
War can turn a coward into a strong man, war can also turn a good man into a madman. War can also turn indifferent people into heroes who defend the country.
At this point, they are heroes.
Duanwu raised his sword high and roared loudly again: "The 48th Army Special Agent Battalion is worthy of being my Chinese man! They are using their blood and lives to buy time for us.
In this battle, if we don't completely wipe out the 103rd Brigade, how can we have the face to meet Jiangdong's fathers, and how can we have the face to face so many heroes!
Now listen to my orders, everyone is here, the target is the 103rd Brigade. I say it again, those who back off - die! Don't stop at the former - die! kill! ! ! ..."
