On December 8, 1937, the 41st Division, which was fighting with the Japanese troops on the Longtan, Prayer Platform, and Baoguo Mountain lines until early morning, had to be defeated due to the arrival of the main force of Japanese troops at Gaojiazhuang, Dahu Mountain on the northwest line of Jurong. Forced to retreat, the main force of the Japanese army rushed towards Qixia Mountain and surrounded the main force of the 41st Division and the 213th Regiment in the Qixia Mountain position.
Qixia Mountain was suddenly filled with the sound of gunfire and the fighting was on fire.
"Regiment seat, the kid from the second battalion has launched an attack. The commander of the second battalion is leading his troops to block the attack." A regimental staff officer ran to Gu Baoyu's side and reported.
At this time, Gu Baoyu was inspecting the position of the first battalion. After the main force of the Japanese army surrounded Qixia Mountain, they immediately launched a fierce attack regardless of the north, south, and east. However, because the positions of the Nationalist soldiers and soldiers were on the mountain, and the Japanese army attacked the mountain, they had to attack from the top. The offensive situation of the Japanese army was very unfavorable, so the Japanese army had nothing to do against them for a while.
"Well, the second battalion commander Li Quan is also a good defensive talent. Don't pay too much attention to it. The southern position cannot be lost in his hands." Gu Baoyu didn't even take down the telescope. It was obvious that he was full of confidence in Li Quan.
"Yes!" the regimental staff officer responded.
Compared with the strong position on Qixia Mountain, the situation in Chunhua Town is not so easy. The battle has reached a fierce stage.
The Japanese army's artillery fire continued with a rumble, and each high-temperature artillery shell hit the Chunhua Town position with a screaming sound. For a moment, dirt flew across the ground, and columns of smoke rose into the sky. The Huazhen position fell into a sea of fire.
"You little son of a bitch, Japan, I'm going to kill your ancestors!" Chen Xian, the acting battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 302nd Regiment of the 51st Division, who was responsible for the defense here, hid in the anti-artillery fortification and cursed fiercely. The battalion commander was already in Died in the morning battle.
On this day, as the Japanese offensive intensified, the frontline positions were crumbling. Wang Yaowu's division also withdrew from Chunhua Town, leaving only five battalions of officers and soldiers to defend the front-line positions in Chunhua Town.
"Battal Commander, are we afraid we won't be able to escape this time?" asked a soldier sitting next to Chen Xian. He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. There were more than a dozen soldiers beside him.
"Don't be afraid, even if you die, we have to bring a few little devils to support you!" Chen Xian said through gritted teeth. He is already thirty years old this year. He has traveled all over the country and gone through many things, including death. For him, it had been close many times, and this time was no exception.
The terrible sound of shelling outside was endless, like a concerto of death. People who were not involved in it would not know the feeling of collapse under bombardment.
"Batalion Commander." The soldier shouted again.
"Huh?" Chen Xian looked at Xiaobing.
"I want to go home...I miss my parents..." Tears overflowed from the corners of Xiaobing's eyes. His honest and simple parents and his young brother flashed before his eyes. When the real death and sacrifice are right in front of you, there are always many thoughts.
What's more, the twenty or so people left in this artillery defense fortification are all the remaining men and horses of the first battalion.
Chen Xian, who was originally the acting battalion commander attached to the 1st Battalion Major, is actually now only a platoon leader, and a platoon leader who can't even make up a platoon!
What about the rest? Everyone else is damn dead, and those lying in a mess on the battlefield are all their comrades-in-arms, all their brothers!
The soldier cried, and his sadness also infected other people in the artillery defense fortification. The atmosphere was gloomy and depressing. The sound of artillery outside was still rumbling, and it seemed that it was a world of two extremes from here.
I saw, in the silence, a hoarse voice sounded: "My home is gone. My home is in Shanghai. Our whole family died under the bombardment of the Japanese army. I am the only one who came back alive." . I have calculated that four little Japs have already died in my hands. With two more, the debts owed by the Japs to our family will be repaid..."
Everyone looked at the man sitting in the corner who usually didn't make much noise. His name was Ge Cheng. He was in his thirties. He seemed to be an honest man. He was usually very silent and rarely spoke. He only started to fight. I was particularly desperate when I was a kid.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Ge Cheng continued to slowly tell his story: "There are seven people in our family, me, my wife, and my three-year-old daughter, plus my father and mother. My grandparents have a family of seven. Originally, our family was composed of four generations, and our life should have been wonderful. But the damn Japanese came, and they destroyed everything I had with one shell. Life, family, Family love, everything is gone."
"Later, when the 74th Army fought in Luodian and Little Japan, many people died, so there was a shortage of people. I happened to have worked as a porter and dock porter before, so I was relatively strong, so the commander and the others sent me Recruited into the 51st Division, are you particularly curious as to why I haven't told you before, right?" Ge Cheng looked at everyone, and his honest face was honest and honest, but from his red eyes It was barely possible to see that he was not made of iron.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but finally nodded in agreement with Ge Cheng's question.
"These days, I have never come out. I carry a deep hatred on my body. Now we are all going to go on the road together. We are not afraid to tell any secrets. Now among the several battalions of troops on the front line, we are the only ones left. There are about twenty people. When the artillery fire stops, the Japs will start to attack. Most of the positions of the 305th Regiment (the leader of this regiment is Zhang Lingfu) on both wings of our regiment have been broken through. We have no reinforcements. Yeah." A smile that looked uglier than crying appeared on Ge Cheng's face.
"Yes, our positions on the left and right wings have been breached. Zhang Lingfu, the leader of the 305th Regiment, was also seriously injured and was carried down. Xiao Geng saw it with his own eyes before he died." Acting Battalion Commander Chen Xian said. , which can be regarded as agreeing with Ge Cheng’s statement.
"Then will our regiment leader (referring to Cheng Zhi, the leader of the 302nd Regiment) come back with reinforcements?" asked the crying soldier just now.
"Even if our Commander Cheng comes back with reinforcements, it will be too late. The little Japanese are about to launch their final attack. It's time for us to find these little Japanese to settle our sins." Ge Cheng pretended to be brisk, but anyone can do it. Understand the heaviness in his tone. As he spoke, he began to gently wipe the Zhongzheng rifle (the Chinese version of the German-made 1924 rifle) in his hand, as tenderly as if he were caressing his little lover. It seemed that only the steel gun in his hand could give He brings enough security.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Although Lao Ge's words were a bit direct, they were definitely the truth, and they were extremely honest.
The facts told them that they were already an isolated and helpless army.
This lone army on the Chunhua Town position has all their comrades dead. They have no reinforcements or any support, but they will never surrender to the Japanese!
Because they are upright Chinese soldiers, even if they die standing in battle, they will never kneel down to survive!
