Boom!
After the huge explosion, flames shot into the sky, and a life of only 16 years old also died in the wind with this explosion.
He spent the same time and had a great youth, but for this country and this nation, he chose to die with the Japanese tanks.
This was the only way for Chinese soldiers to deal with Japanese tanks when there were no anti-tank weapons.
They tried to put explosive charges on the tank's body and on its tracks, but it didn't work. The only possible way to blow up a tank with explosive charges is to get underneath the tank and use a human body as a shelf for the explosive charges.
Although Zhu Zhu is young, he has experienced the baptism of war. In the Battle of Songhu, he was one of the Gui soldiers who charged despite Japanese machine gunfire.
On October 21, 1937, all the Guangxi Army units under the 21st Group Army launched a counterattack against the Japanese army. This was also the largest counterattack launched by the Chinese army during the Songhu Battle.
Chief of Staff Bai did not understand the strength of the Japanese army at that time. He believed that the Japanese army had limited ammunition and that as long as the Gui army rushed over, it could defeat the Japanese army with the powerful close combat capabilities of the Guangxi soldiers.
But this war was different from a warlord melee. The Japanese army's firepower exceeded his imagination. Blocked by the enemy's powerful firepower network of navy and army, batches of Guangxi officers and soldiers died on the way to the charge.
But it is undeniable that the Gui army's combat effectiveness is very strong. When some officers and soldiers charged, they did not cut through the barbed wire blocked by the Japanese army, but threw themselves on it and let the officers and soldiers behind them step on their bodies and continue to advance.
This fearless spirit is indeed breathtaking.
But it is a pity that this did not play a substantial role in the face of the Japanese army's steel torrent.
The Japanese Ninth Division, the 101st Division and the Part of the Third Division also launched a counterattack against the Gui Army. After six days of fierce fighting, the Gui Army suffered heavy losses. The 60,000-strong army was routed and nine out of ten brigade commanders were killed.
Therefore, in the young Zhuzi's heart, apart from the four words "defend the family and the country", there is more of deep hatred.
And not only him, but all the officers and soldiers of the Gui Army in the temporary first brigade had the same mood.
They are full of deep hatred for the Japanese, and this hatred will not disappear even until they die.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the bravery of the Gui army at this time is intimidating. The Japanese machine guns were unable to deter these Gui troops. They have always charged against the enemy's bullets.
When a large corps is fighting, this fearless charge will seem a bit foolish. But when the weapons and equipment of the Gui army were no worse than those of the Japanese army, and their numbers were absolutely superior, the Japanese army became Sun Tzu.
Their bushido can no longer boost their momentum. They were chased like rabbits by the Gui army.
The reinforcements from the two squadrons of the Botian detachment were like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to make a single ripple at all.
Namada Chuichi saw fear in such a one-sided massacre. And for some reason, he always felt that things were not over yet.
And sure enough, before Namada Chuichi could make up his mind, a violent explosion soared over his camp. One of his tanks exploded for no apparent reason.
Of course, there was no explosion for no reason. Instead, someone used a mortar to blow up the Japanese tank. And then the shells hit one after another.
Tanks in the camp, Japanese machine gun positions, Japanese artillery positions, etc.
At this moment, no one knows how many artillery shells whizzed past the Japanese camp.
This is Dragon Boat Festival's last trump card and all his belongings. Except for his personal attack on Japanese tanks, all other mortars were fired by the most experienced artillerymen.
These veterans are also old gunners. Although the speed of shelling is not as fast as that of the Dragon Boat Festival, the accuracy is very high.
Many important targets in the Botian detachment camp exploded almost simultaneously. If the old devil Hasada hadn't escaped quickly enough, I'm afraid he would have gone to see their Amaterasu.
The Japanese Japs Botian hid in the middle of the two tents to catch their breath, and ordered: "Go and call back all the attacking troops, let them return to defense, and quickly return to defense."
The Japanese staff officer on the side said: "Your Excellency, it is too late to return to defense. The enemy's reinforcements have already arrived. We have suffered heavy losses. Even if all the troops return now, this camp cannot be defended."
"Baga! Didn't it say that the enemy's reinforcements would not arrive until two o'clock in the afternoon? Damn it!"
Namada Chuichi was very angry, but he was helpless at this time. Because the enemy's reinforcements had arrived and the Botian detachment suffered heavy losses, he had to retreat even if he did not retreat.
"Order the first squad and the second squad of the guards to join forces with the baggage regiment to block the enemy's reinforcements. Order the attacking troops in Yushan to retreat in stages and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage."
Namada ordered, then glanced at the imperial soldiers who were still fighting tenaciously in Nanshan, and could only give the order to fight until the end.
When the Japanese communications soldiers on Nanshan received orders from Bo Tian Zhongyi, they felt despair. Because the brigade commander had given up on them. Although Chuichi Namada said it very impassionedly. But he ran away, leaving them to serve His Majesty the Emperor.
The Japanese communications soldier took out a dagger and committed suicide. He gave up his life out of fear. A few minutes later, the rest of the Japs all went back to see their Amaterasu.
Thousands of Japs died on the Nanshan position in Yushan, dyeing the land of Nanshan red.
The corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up like mountains, and soldiers from a temporary brigade were cleaning up the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Xie Jinyuan led the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 174th Division in a symbolic pursuit. When the Japanese fled into the woods like a lost dog, Xie Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this battle, it's good to be alive, this is the subtext in Xie Jinyuan's heart.
He even felt that if there was no regimental seat in this battle, the entire independent regiment and the 174th Division would be in danger. Because you can imagine that everyone has just experienced a big battle, and the Botian detachment arrived.
Not only did they suppress the situation with large numbers of troops, but they also dispatched a flying wing of bombers to carry out carpet bombing on the Yushan position.
If it weren't for Dragon Boat Festival's foresight, a bunch of straw men were placed on the position to deceive the Japanese aircraft. I'm afraid the entire independent regiment and the 174th Division have long since ceased to exist.
And if Dragon Boat Festival had not used jungle warfare to disperse the strength of the Botian detachment, Yushan would have been unable to defend it at this time. It is not certain that all members would be killed. Even if the temporary first brigade really arrived on time, seeing There can only be corpses on the ground.
Because the temporary first brigade arrived after 12 noon, and at this time, if the Dragon Boat Festival hadn't held back a large number of Japanese soldiers, the Yushan position would have been undefendable.
Therefore, Xie Jinyuan led his men to chase, but he was unsure. Once the Japanese army counterattacked, it would probably be another anxious offensive and defensive battle.
Xie Jinyuan led people down the mountain with less than 500 people. And there were more than one brigade of Japanese soldiers coming down from Beishan.
If the Japanese realized that the pursuers didn't even have half of them, they might turn around and outflank Xie Jinyuan and others.
However, the Japanese were frightened and defeated. Even though at least 4,000 of them would escape in the end, they no longer had the courage to fight against the madman Duan Wu.
The Empire's planes cannot be killed, and the Empire's tanks are like crispy walnuts. As for tactics, compared with the Dragon Boat Festival, are they called tactics? With an absolutely superior force, he was beaten like a bear. Can this be called a tactic?
Namada was disheartened. He had previously mocked Shigeto Chiaki as a pig. But now it seems that he is not much smarter than a pig.
Fortunately, he escaped alive and brought back nearly half of his troops.
"Baga, that Dragon Boat Festival is too powerful. Without a ten-fold advantage in strength, no army in the empire can even hope to defeat him."
Namada Chuichi complained, and at this time his chief of staff asked: "Your Excellency, what should we do next? How should we explain to Mr. Matsui?"
"snort!"
Namada Chuichi snorted coldly, and then said: "Let him scold the intelligence department and the blocking troops! We were already about to win, but it was the enemy who showed up with a large number of reinforcements that caused us to fall short. Do you understand?"
The chief of staff suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up: "Sir, how tall are you?"
"Tall ass, if I am really that tall, can I be beaten into such a bear shape by others? Let's go! Let's talk about it when we go back."
Bo Tianzhong was disheartened and left in defeat with his remaining soldiers. At this time, Duanwu was looking for useful things in the Japanese camp.
He was walking with a limp, and the soldiers wanted to laugh when they saw him. During the war, Dragon Boat Festival was like a good man, running faster than anyone else. As soon as the battle was over, he immediately became lame.
Of course, they must not know that the Dragon Boat Festival also hurts during the war. But he couldn't say it hurt. Moreover, in a war, either you die or I die. You told the Japanese that my legs hurt, and you let me go? Can the Japanese agree?
So regardless of whether it hurts at the time, even if you are really lame, you still have to fight like a good person. Because your enemies will have no sympathy for you. To survive a war, you have to be stronger than anyone else.
However, now that the battle is over, what is going on in the Dragon Boat Festival?
He was looking for something valuable. The war was over, but the debt he owed had not yet been paid. He had to get some pensions for the brothers who died in battle. Don't even think about counting on those bastards in the logistics department. I don’t know when the application will be approved.
What's more, Lao Shou, Xu Dazhuang and others were all mercenaries he hired. People fight to get money, and there is nothing wrong with that.
So what is the war about? That's money!
But all the Dragon Boat Festival money was given to Sun Boan. So it’s really hard to have a hard time with little money.
"Special Commissioner, we are looking for you in the military."
At this moment, soldiers from the 174th Division came to see Dragon Boat Festival.
"Um, let you sit down and wait, I'm busy right now!"
Duanwu waved his hand directly, and then used the Type 38 rifle used as a walking stick to open the door curtain of a tent. He found a large number of weapons and ammunition, and quickly called to Xie Jinyuan: "Old Xie, Old Xie, move these things back quickly and tell me None of them can touch it! These things all belong to me."
"Yes, Danzao!"
Xie Jinyuan responded, and then called for people to move things. At this time, Duanwu saw Lao Snoring and others pulling a cannon.
Duanwu limped over and said, "Old snoring, don't mess with that big guy. You can't move with such a small number of people, so take the cannonballs."
"Tuanzuo, if you don't have a cannon, what do you need cannonballs for?"
Lao Shou was puzzled and winked at Dragon Boat Festival. Lao Shou seemed to understand something, and quickly called Zhao Dahu from the first guard company to help pull the cannon up the mountain. And he ordered the soldiers of the Second Special Company to remove all the artillery shells.
Because just imagine, can these several-ton cannons be carried away by just the people of the Independent Regiment? Only the 48th Army of the Grand Corps has this ability.
But if you have a cannon, you need cannonballs, right? So Dragon Boat Festival is waiting for Commander Liao here.
So it is not easy to make money, you have to use your brain.
"················"
The messenger who came to deliver the message looked at it with big eyes and a very speechless expression. At first, he thought Dragon Boat Festival was busy with something, but it turned out that he was busy robbing things.
The communication soldier was speechless. He didn't expect Duanwu to be such a person.
He quickly ran back to report the incident to the military commander, and Commander Liao was also speechless.
Yan Wushuang took the opportunity and said: "Military Commander, it seems that our special commissioner is also a money-lover?"
Commander Liao said: "This person has his own weaknesses. The same goes for our special commissioner.
And girl, don’t you think he has weaknesses, which are better than being monolithic?
I think back then, our 48th Army also did business with this special commissioner. The weapons and ammunition they sell are really cheap.
We finally got the kid's Type 38 rifle for only 20 yuan a piece. This is much cheaper than the German Type 88 rifle. And the quality is not bad at all. "
"Okay, military commander, are you still praising him? I just can't stand it. This battle was fought by our 48th Army, and we have to buy the weapons ourselves in the end."
"You girl, you are too short-sighted. You have to think of the good of the special commissioner and be friends with him. Only then can we handle our affairs. For example, this time, if there is no special commissioner here, can Yushan be defended?"
"Military seat, in my opinion, it was our reinforcements that arrived in time to break the siege of Yushan. By the way, military seat, what kind of army is the temporary first brigade? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Commander Liao smiled proudly and said: "Little girl, you still have a lot to learn. If I didn't hide such a trump card, what reinforcements would I get for today's battle at Yushan? This is a trump card of our 48th Army. I used it to fight the little devil in the end.
But it was worth it. The Japanese Chongteng detachment was completely wiped out, and the Botian detachment was severely damaged. Our 48th Army can avenge its shame this time. Hahaha! "
Commander Liao laughed heartily and beamed with joy.
But at this time, Yan Wushuang did not have such a smile. Instead, he hesitated and asked: "Military, what should we do next? The troops suffered a lot of casualties this time. I heard that Commander Zhong of the 174th Division also seemed to be seriously injured. ,..."
