Seeing that the attacking troops retreated again, Yingji Shiliu was going crazy, and he was also going crazy with anxiety, because as time passed and ammunition was consumed, several guards infantrymen The spirit of the alliance has faded, the situation is getting worse and worse, and there is not much time left for them!
Takaji Shiliu is the brigade commander of the 2nd Guards Infantry Brigade.
Under normal circumstances, the infantry brigade of the Little Devils is not an independent combat unit, but operates together with the main force of the division. Therefore, the brigade commander cannot independently command the troops. Only when forming a detachment, the infantry brigade Nagasai will be temporarily appointed as the commander of the detachment, such as the Shigeto detachment and the Iida detachment.
But the situation of Takaji Roku was different. He was sent to the Suzhou River front line by the division commander of the Guards Division, Iida Sadagu, to be responsible for coordinating the operations between the 2nd and 3rd Guards Infantry Regiment. In other words, he was just a liaison officer, not a commander. However, after the division headquarters of the Guards Division was destroyed, the situation changed.
Now, the commander of the Condemnation Army in Central China, Dongjiu Nianyan, has ordered that the second, third and fourth regiments of the Guards Infantry Regiment be used as the backbone to temporarily form the Eagle Division Detachment, and be led by the Eagle Division Sixteenth Regiment. take full charge of.
From a composition point of view, this Yingsi detachment is also a strange flower, because the general Japanese detachment is composed of two infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment, supplemented by some auxiliary troops, but the Yingsi detachment is There are three infantry regiments, but no auxiliary units such as baggage troops, cavalry, and artillery.
Therefore, this also seriously weakened the penetration ability of the Eagle Division detachment.
Because there was no artillery fire support, the Yingsi detachment's penetration operations failed time and time again!
Seeing that the attacking troops were defeated again, Takashi Shiroku became anxious. When the regiment of the second infantry regiment that was about to take over the main attack, Mano Nagaga and the deputy commander of the regiment, Shigeichi Imadegawa, called the headquarters.
"Kuga-kun, Imadegawa-kun, what are you doing?" Takashi Roku yelled angrily, "It's been more than half an hour, but you can't even take down a small street? If this continues , when will we be able to rush out of the city, and when will we be able to break out?"
"Hai!" Kuga Zhenno paused heavily and did not argue.
Imidegawa Shigeichi said: "Detachment leader, the firepower of the Chinese Army is too dense. Our machine gun firepower is not as good as theirs, and we lack artillery support, so we have been unable to break through the opponent's defense line..."
"Don't give me any objective reasons. I don't want reasons. I want results. I just need results!" Takashi Roku interrupted Imadegawa Shigeichi rudely and said, "If there is no artillery, why don't we fight? In the end, I I'll give you half an hour. Within half an hour, you must break through the intersection in front, otherwise, you will be prepared to commit seppuku to thank His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Hai!" Kuga Mano and Imadegawa Shigeru paused at the same time, then turned around and hurriedly left the headquarters.
As soon as he returned to the coalition headquarters, Kuaga Mano said to Imadegawa Shigeichi: "Imadegawa-kun, you gather all the remaining soldiers of the first and third infantry brigades. This time, I will personally lead them to launch a desperate charge. If I fight If you die, you can lead the remnants of the Second Infantry Battalion and launch another desperate charge!"
After a short pause, Kuga Mano said again: "This time, either the enemy dies or we die!"
"Hai!" Imadegawa Shigeru said after a pause, "But it is still up to me to lead the remnants of the 1st and 3rd Infantry Battalions to charge to the death first. If I am not successful, it will not be too late for the captain to charge again!"
"That's fine." Kuga Mano did not argue with Imadegawa Shigeichi, and immediately paused and said, "Please!"
"Hai!" Shigeichi Imadekawa paused again, and then shouted, "Order, all officers and soldiers of the First Infantry Brigade and the Third Infantry Brigade, urgently assemble!"
(Dividing line)
At this time, Shi Changqing on the opposite side also had a premonition that the Japanese were going to fight for their lives.
Shi Changqing called the Fifth Battalion Commander Chen Baixi to him and said, "Old Chen, we have thwarted two Japanese attacks. You can only do three things. If nothing happens, the Japs will definitely be desperate next time."
Chen Baixi said with deep understanding: "I think so too, and we may not be able to withstand it this time."
"So we have to prepare early." Shi Changqing said in a deep voice, "I think it's better to do this. I will gather all the combat backbones of the first battalion together to form a commando team. At the critical moment, we can also launch a counterattack against the Japs. How about I leave the rest of the troops under your command for the time being, and you can also defend the position?"
"No problem." Chen Baixi agreed readily and said, "Lao Shi, do you want me to transfer a group of combat backbones from the fifth battalion to your battalion?"
"No, the commando team is more expensive than the elite."
This is the difference between the Communist Party and the Kuomintang.
The officers of the Kuomintang only think about protecting themselves and consuming others, while the vast majority of the commanders of the Communist Party only think about one problem, and that is to win the war! In order to achieve this big goal, everything else can be ignored! This does not mean that the character of the KMT officers must be poor, but it is determined by the general environment.
The general environment of the Kuomintang is like this, forcing you to protect yourself.
The general environment of the Communist Party is the opposite, forcing you to work hard to win the war!
So there was a very dramatic scene on the battlefield. The same soldiers were defeated by the People's Liberation Army on the Huaihai battlefield, but 800,000 elite soldiers were annihilated by 600,000 People's Liberation Army! Then, this same group of soldiers defeated the Eighteen-Nation Allied Forces in the Korean battlefield and drove the U.S. military, which had just experienced the baptism of blood and fire of the Pacific War, from the Yalu River to the 38th Parallel. That's why it was said, The Kuomintang did not lose unjustly!
Closer to home, Shi Changqing immediately selected more than a hundred key veterans from the first battalion to form a commando team, and then handed over the remaining more than 300 remnants to Chen Baixi. After a series of fierce battles, only this few people were left in the first battalion. , However, Chen Baixi's fifth battalion was not much better, and the total number of them would not exceed 500 people.
As soon as they were ready, the little devil's third attack began.
The Japanese gunboats opened fire first. During the previous raid on the Suzhou River, the Japanese used twenty small gunboats. After the raid was successful, these twenty gunboats did not leave. Instead, they kept swimming in the Suzhou River to attack the Guards Division. Provide fire support, but so far, there are only two gunboats left.
The remaining gunboats had been destroyed.
However, the two remaining gunboats have the largest tonnage, the thickest armor, and the most powerful firepower.
The two gunboats and the two 57mm caliber main guns are still very powerful. One shot can directly punch a big hole in the wall of the brick-concrete structure, but that's it at best. The kinetic energy bombs are still very useful for killing armored targets. The effect is good, but it is not enough for killing skirmishers.
However, the several heavy machine guns on the gunboat were still a big threat. The intensive firepower swept over, and the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion on the opposite side were immediately suppressed and could not lift their heads. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Imadegawa Shigeichi raised his saber high and waved forward. More than 300 Japanese soldiers who had been waiting behind him for a long time immediately swooped over with bayonets in hand.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion had no choice but to take the lead.
Chen Baixi was the first to stand up to face the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, raised his pistol and fired a single shot in front of him, and then howled at the top of his lungs: "Hit me, hit me, hit me hard!"
The next moment, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion on the position stood up and opened fire fiercely.
The little Japs were really anxious. They did not hesitate to pay any price. They formed a dense formation in the cold weapon era and swooped over here with bayonets in hand. The Japs in front were shot and fell, while the Japs behind stepped on the front. The corpse of the Japanese soldier kept rushing forward with his bayonet in hand. In the blink of an eye, he was already approaching the fifth battalion's position.
"Comrades, fight the Japanese!" Chen Baixi roared, picked up the ghost-headed knife and rushed out of the ring barricade.
Upon seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion who were standing on the position immediately jumped out of the barricade with bayonets in hand and started hand-to-hand combat with the swarming Japanese.
However, what is shocking is that the Japanese in the general offensive have already approached the Fifth Battalion's position. The two Japanese gunboats responsible for providing fire cover have not stopped shooting, and continue to use heavy machine guns and combat anti-aircraft guns against the Fifth Battalion. Each machine gun firepower point implemented fire suppression, and they did not care about accidentally injuring their own people!
"Da da da..." Intense machine gun fire covered them, and the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion and the Japanese who were fighting hand-to-hand immediately fell down one by one. However, more of the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion fell. Although it was an indiscriminate attack, However, when the Japanese gunboats choose shooting targets, they will still shoot at places with a large number of Chinese people.
When Chen Baixi saw this, he was immediately jealous. The little devil was so anxious that he jumped over the wall!
But now, Chen Baixi has no choice but to fight!
"Comrades, fight, beat me hard!" Chen Baixi chopped down a Jaap with one knife, then took the time to fire two shots, knocking a Jaap sergeant to the ground. Then, when he raised his pistol again, he aimed at another When he was about to attack the little Japanese, intense machine gun fire suddenly came over him, and blood blossomed on Chen Baixi's chest.
Chen Baixi's weak body trembled violently, and then he fell to the ground.
When he was dying, Chen Baixi saw that the officers and soldiers of the fifth battalion were already depleted, and many Japanese soldiers had already broken into the ring barricade. The combat effectiveness of these new recruits who had just been added to the fifth battalion was still a bit poor. Fortunately, at this moment, Shi Changqing led the army. The commando counterattacked in time, and with one counterattack, the Japanese were driven out again!
Seeing this, Chen Baixi finally breathed his last breath.
Farewell, my daughter, my mother, and my beloved motherland! However, I firmly believe that one day, the Chinese nation will once again dominate the world! Girls will be able to live under the sunshine and flowers without having to worry about foreign soldiers threatening them with bayonets while playing. Farewell, motherland!
