Chapter One hundred and twelve
The sound of Japanese artillery shell explosion was not extinguished in my ears. I wonder who called out at this time: "The devils are here!" The soldiers who were "buried alive" by the dust caused by the explosion of the artillery shells crawled out of the soil one by one, "Crack, Crack..." A series of sounds of pulling the bolts sounded.
Lin Aofeng held the telescope and looked at the Japanese troops who were slowly rushing towards the position following the tank, and said coldly: "Plant the anti-aircraft machine gun and start fire immediately when the Japanese tanks enter range. I want to see if it is the iron sheet of the Japanese tank or the sharp bullets of the anti-aircraft machine gun."
"Yes!" Liu Changsheng did not dare to delay, and responded and left with his men. After about three or four minutes, two anti-aircraft machine guns were mounted in two empty machine gun trenches, waiting for the Japanese tanks.
Although the waiting time was very long, it was just a flash of lightning for the Chinese soldiers on the position. When the five Japanese bean tanks entered the range of the anti-aircraft machine gun, the machine gunner, who had been impatient before Lin Aofeng gave the order, couldn't help pulling the trigger.
The 13.2mm caliber Hachicas anti-aircraft machine gun is not an ordinary light machine gun or heavy machine gun. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese bean tank in front was shot into a hornet's nest by the anti-aircraft machine gun. Two unlucky tanks were penetrated into the fuel tank and exploded instantly. The Japanese soldiers following behind had not had time to react and became victims of the tank explosion. There were also several Japanese soldiers who could not dodge, either amputated by the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets or cut off their bodies in the waist.
"Bageya Road, what's going on?!" Seeing the soldiers seemingly retreating, Yoshizuru Ryosuke's eyes wide open, and his face showed an angry but unbelievable look. The staff officer in charge of observation ran to Yoshizuru Ryosuke's side at this time and said, "Report to General, the Chinese army used anti-aircraft machine guns to block our army's attack. The tanks and tanks were all destroyed by the Chinese army, and the attacking troops also suffered heavy casualties!"
"Bageya Road!" When Yoshizuru Ryosuke heard the report, he angrily pulled out his command knife, cut off the short tree beside him, and said gritting his teeth: "Order the artillery to bomb me! I don't believe that the position of the Chinese army was attacked by iron!"
Being baptized by Japanese artillery fire has become a habit of Chinese soldiers guarding Baoshan County. When the Japanese artillery shells fell, except for a few observation posts on the position, everyone else retreated to the artillery hole not far from the position.
One after another, the shells fell in Baoshan County. The entire Baoshan County continued to tremble while the shells exploded. In order to rush, the Ninth Division carried not many shells, and now there were shells everywhere. I don’t know when to spend them to fill them up. For the subsequent battle, Yoshizuru Ryosuke issued an order to stop the shelling one hour later.
Shortly after the Japanese artillery fire stopped, all the soldiers in the anti-aircraft cave returned to the ground. Just as the soldiers were preparing, the Japanese were bowing one by one, and in groups of loose offensive formations, carrying Type 38 rifles, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns, rushed towards the Chinese defenders' positions in Baoshan County.
Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters... As the Japanese bayonet was about to reach the position, the Chinese soldiers lying on the position pulled the trigger at the same time. Before the war, Lin Aofeng had already taken into account all factors, so in order to make up for the shortcomings of the soldiers' individual capabilities being inferior to Japan, Lin Aofeng purchased a large number of submachine guns through connections. In addition to allocating one soldier from the 377th Regiment where he started, he also reserved submachine guns with enough equipment in Baoshan County.
Yoshizuru Ryosuke, who had seen the equipment of the Chinese team in North China, saw so many automatic weapons suddenly appearing on the positions of the Chinese team. He was shocked and murmured to himself: "What's going on? How can the Chinese army defending Baoshan County have so many automatic weapons?!"
Chief of Staff Hiroshi Nakagawa frowned and said, "General, as far as I know, the direct troops of the Chinese army use German Mauser 98k rifles, and only the guards are equipped with a small number of submachine guns. As for why the Chinese army in Baoshan County has so many submachine guns, I don't know why there is so many submachine guns in Baoshan County, but one thing we should be grateful for is that submachine guns are consumed very quickly. The Chinese army guarding Baoshan County has been fighting with the Third Division for half a month before, and the ammunition must be consumed a lot. We can send small troops to lure the Chinese army to fire. When the Chinese army's bullets are consumed, we can take down Baoshan County without bloodshed."
"You want to go west!" Yoshizuru Ryosuke said with a smile: "Nakagawa, your idea is very good. Unfortunately, we don't have that much time. The Tokyo base camp requires us to take China within three months. Now a month has passed, and our troops are still entangled with the Chinese army in Shanghai, which is something we cannot tolerate."
"But Your Excellency General..."
Before Hiroshi Nakagawa finished his words, Yoshisuke interrupted and said, "Okay! I understand what you are going to say. Order the troops to continue attacking and take down Baoshan County at all costs tomorrow evening."
As Yoshisuke's order was passed to various corpses, the captains who originally wanted to preserve their strength no longer preserve their strength. Each corps used wave tactics based on brigades, using wave tactics, one brigade after another launched a continuous attack in four directions, southeast, west, northwest and northeast of Baoshan County.
"Walking, why can't the Japanese finish the fight?!" After emptying a magazine, Liu Changsheng couldn't help asking by using the skill of replacing a new magazine.
Lin Aofeng threw out a grenade and said with a smile: "This is the human-sea tactic used by the Japanese. The characteristic of their tactic is that it seems to have not ended. This makes people feel afraid and disintegrate their fighting spirit from the heart. However, their tactic is useless to us."
Three hours passed in a blink of an eye. As the Japanese army continued to attack, the Central Team defending Baoshan County increased more casualties. Also facing the dense firepower of the Central Team, the Ninth Division also suffered heavy casualties. Looking at the number of casualties in their hands, Yoshizuru Ryosuke's hand trembled unconsciously, took a breath of air conditioning, stood there in a daze, and gave the order to stop the attack helplessly.
As the Japanese army retreated, the Chinese soldiers relaxed on the position felt relaxed and sat on the ground weakly. At this time, Lin Aofeng also took a break from his busy schedule and lit a cigarette. After a while, he walked into the temporary command post not far away. After about half an hour, the Military Chief Shi Yaoqian hurriedly walked into the command post.
Lin Aofeng asked, "Why are you here?!"
Shi Yaoqian said with a bitter face: "Host, the ammunition we reserved is only enough for three days to consume in this way in the past few days."
"What?!" Lin Aofeng was shocked, jumped up from the chair, walked to Shi Yaoqian in three or two steps, and shouted: "Tell me again!"
Shi Yaogan lowered his head and said, "The ammunition is only enough for three days." As he said that, Shi Yaogan looked up at Lin Aofeng and said, "But the Japanese weapons and ammunition we seized in the past few days can support it for a period of time."
Lin Aofeng was very confident about the combat effectiveness of the 377th Regiment he trained himself. However, Lin Aofeng was not sure about the combat effectiveness of these two troops in the Sichuan Army and the Shanghai Police Corps. After hesitating for a while, Lin Aofeng said to the confidential staff: "Immediately generate electricity for Lieutenant General Zhang Zhi, tell General Zhang about our situation in detail, and ask him to find a way to transfer a batch of ammunition to us."
"Yes!" The confidential staff quickly left the command post...
After dealing with some things, Lin Aofeng returned to the position. After asking about the situation on the position, Lin Aofeng and several soldiers started chatting. Before he knew it, it was noon. The chief officer came to the position with the warm snow-white steamed buns and the dishes that had just been cooked, and greeted the soldiers for dinner.
The Japanese were unwilling to let Lin Aofeng and the others have a peaceful meal. The soldiers had just picked up the steamed buns, but before they could take a bite, the sound of shells flying in the sky and rubbing against the air. The quick-reacting soldiers stuffed the steamed buns into their arms and lying in the position with quick movements...
The flowers bloomed and each showed one. When Lin Aofeng led his troops to defend Baoshan County, Chen Lang arrived in Wuhan safely with the captured Japanese Third Division flag.
"Commission, Lin Aofeng sent someone to send the division flag of the Japanese Third Division!" Qian Dajun walked into Chiang Kai-shek's office and walked to Chiang Kai-shek's side and said.
"What?!" Chiang Kai-shek, who was busy, couldn't believe his ears, looked at Qian Dajun and asked, "Mu Yin, what you said is true?"
Qian Dajun nodded and said, "Yes! People are in the reception room!"
"Okay! OK! OK!" After saying three good things in a row, Chiang Kai-shek ordered: "Let's go and have a look."
More than ten minutes later, Chiang Kai-shek hugged and pushed the door and walked into the reception room. Chen Lang, who was sitting in the reception room, saw that the door was pushed open, hurriedly stood up and saluted Chiang Kai-shek: "Report to the principal, Chen Lang, Chief of Staff of the Independent Eighth Brigade, reported to you!" Then Chen Lang took out the division flag of the Japanese Third Division from the interlayer of his close-fitting clothes and said, "Principal, this is the flag of the Japanese Third Division that our brigade commander asked me to send me. Please take a look!"
At Chiang Kai-shek's instructions, Qian Dajun took the flag of the Japanese Third Division from Chen Lang, and opened it with the help of other servants to present it to Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek looked back and forth from top to bottom, from left to right several times, kept nodding, and said, "Mu Yin, hold a press conference immediately. Promote the achievements of Lin Aofeng and the others!"
"Yes!" Qian Dajun responded, put away the division flag of the Japanese Third Division, and walked out of the reception room to arrange the press conference.
After the door of the reception room was closed, Chiang Kai-shek called Chen Lang to sit down beside him and asked, "How is the situation in Baoshan County?"
