Although the People's Liberation Army and the Japanese army carried out shelling every day across the Jiahe River during this period, and although the density of the People's Liberation Army's artillery attack was ten times that of the Japanese army, there had never been such a large-scale and wide-area shelling as today.
At least hundreds of cannons fired on the north bank of the Jihe River at the same time. The artillery fire extended from the forward positions and covered the entire front and second line positions. It was a typical artillery preparation before launching a general attack.
But, damn, your artillery preparations are so shameless.
The Japanese's artillery preparations before launching a general attack could only be three rounds at most. That would only be such a luxury for large-scale battles like the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Taierzhuang.
You are just fighting a position battle across the river now, you have already fought seventeen fucking rounds, and you are firing hundreds of artillery fires, so why not fight? The position is about to be blown up by you, and you soldiers rushed up. Now all that's left is to collect the corpses, why bother?
The puppet troops at the forefront collapsed and began to retreat within three rounds of artillery fire.
However, they were horrified to find that when they started to retreat, the Japanese tank troops waiting behind them unceremoniously attacked them. A row of machine gun bullets swept over and a row of brothers fell in a pool of blood.
The captain of the Japs Chariot Regiment stood on the tank and waved his command knife to the retreating puppet troops: "Kill the chickens, kill the chickens, charge forward, and those who retreat will die."
Damn you.
Staying in position is a dead end, and retreating is a dead end.
The puppet soldiers, who had been blown to pieces, were lying on the ground not knowing where to go. Someone had already aimed their gun at the leader of the Japanese chariot team.
We are all going to die anyway, so why don’t I act like a hero and kill you, you idiot?
At this time, the puppet brigade commander Liu Baoshan, who had been injured in the bombing, finally came to his senses. He knew that if the stalemate continued like this, he and his brothers would all die here.
Liu Baoshan jumped up from the ground fiercely, brandishing his pistol and shouting: "Follow me and rush back if you want to survive."
Having said that, Liu Baoshan was the first to rush towards the forward position that was still covered by artillery fire.
Not to mention the puppet troops, even the Japanese soldiers who huddled in the station car to prevent the puppet troops from retreating were shocked by Liu Baoshan's actions.
It turns out that Brigadier Liu is not a coward. He dared to rush back under such fierce artillery fire from the People's Liberation Army.
What a man.
Brigadier Liu has led troops for so many years and has many followers.
Seeing that Brigadier Liu had rushed back first, these people hurriedly got up and caught up.
The two regiments of puppet troops have been bombarded by this round of artillery fire from the People's Liberation Army. Only one and a half regiments are left. Now they are holding their positions or retreating or dying. There are dead ends on both sides. Now they are ready to fight and get up in a hurry. Following Brigadier Liu, he rushed back against the artillery fire of the People's Liberation Army, and was blown to the ground piece by piece in the explosion.
The captain of the Japanese Chariot Unit saw Liu Baoshan rushing back with the puppet troops, and ordered the Japanese army to stop shooting these deserters.
As a result, the Japanese were a little confused the next moment.
I saw Liu Baoshan leading the puppet soldiers and rushing back to the position despite artillery fire. Originally, the Japanese thought that these puppet soldiers would hide in the bombed-out trenches to avoid the People's Liberation Army's artillery fire. However, they did not expect that Liu Baoshan actually stepped across the trenches and rushed back. After getting off the river embankment, I ran desperately to the other side of the river, shouting: "Brothers, if you want to live, run over to me and surrender."
The puppet soldiers were stunned and suddenly overjoyed.
That's right, if the Japanese don't let us retreat, let's go to the People's Liberation Army and surrender.
We are all Chinese. They wouldn't shoot at people who came to surrender, right?
Surviving the desperate situation, the puppet soldiers found a way to survive and rushed over the trenches to the river beach.
The little devils were all stunned. They couldn't hear what Liu Baoshan was shouting, and they actually thought it was Liu Baoshan who led his troops to charge the People's Liberation Army and engage in a battle between trapped beasts.
There are actually little Japanese who give thumbs up to the fearless spirit of sacrifice of the puppet soldiers. It is worthy of following us for such a long time and has even learned our Bushido spirit to the bone.
As a result, the little devils immediately discovered that something was wrong. Some of the puppet soldiers who had rushed into the river beach had thrown away their guns, and even took off their military uniforms while running, raising their hands high.
"Baga, they want to surrender, kill them." The captain of the Japanese Chariot Company discovered something was wrong through the telescope and immediately issued an order to the Japanese army.
On the other side of the river, Xie Tian, Li Yunlong and others who were standing in the trenches with binoculars saw thousands of people rushing out of their positions and crossing the river beach to charge towards their side. Li Yunlong hurriedly issued an order: "Artillery regiment, adjust the shooting for me." Beat his bitch..."
Xie Tianfei kicked Li Yunlong on the butt: "Why don't I pay for the artillery shells? I've seen you clearly. The people rushing over are puppet troops. They are here to surrender."
Li Yunlong hurriedly raised the telescope again, and took a closer look. It was not that good. These guys even threw away their weapons and ran over with their hands raised. Who uses this posture to charge?
At this time, the Japanese artillery shells had already landed in the cluster of puppet troops who had come to surrender. This time, the People's Liberation Army's artillery stopped hitting them. Instead, the Japanese, whom they had been waiting for like their fathers, began to bombard them.
The river beach of 800 meters is not close. The Japanese tanks have already driven up to the front. Machine guns, tanks and cannons are firing, harvesting the lives of the puppet soldiers one by one.
Of the thousands of puppet troops, not even half of them could make it across the 800-meter riverbank alive.
Li Yunlong scratched his head and looked at Xie Tian, and asked cautiously: "Commander-in-Chief, do we want some artillery support?"
Xie Tian took his eyes off the telescope and glanced at Li Yunlong expressionlessly, then withdrew his gaze and continued to raise the telescope.
Xie Tian's sight actually made Li Yunlong's heart tremble. Zhao Gang couldn't bear it and patted Li Yunlong's back gently.
Alas, Lao Li still doesn't understand the Commander-in-Chief.
In the Commander-in-Chief's mind, when these puppet soldiers picked up their guns and stood in the Japanese camp to help the Japanese, they were already dead. At this moment, the Commander-in-Chief did not order an attack with the Japanese to eliminate them, which was the greatest kindness to them. , as for whether they can run over alive, it depends on their own luck.
The People's Liberation Army doesn't want this kind of troops. Put down your weapons and go away. You will live as long as the people can forgive you.
At this time, Ding Wei and a man wearing a gray cloth military uniform climbed up the river embankment panting and ran to Xie Tian to stand at attention and salute: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Comrade Li Chaoyang, deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Military Region, wants to see you."
Xie Tian put down the telescope and looked at the middle-aged man who was a few steps behind Ding Wei. With a smile on his face, he handed the telescope to Zhao Gang, walked over to Li Chaoyang, saluted with a military salute and extended his hand: "Hello, Commander Li. , I am Xie Baoqing."
Li Chaoyang stood at attention and saluted, took Xie Tian's hand with both hands and shook it vigorously. He looked at Xie Tian and said: "Hello, Mr. Xie, according to the orders of superiors, our Jizhong Military Region will cooperate with you to liberate Pingjin. Please give the order."
