When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Even if we are facing the best swordsman in the world, we must dare to show the sword! This is the spirit of the sword! ————"Bright Sword" Li Yunlong
Wuxi is located in the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta plain, leaning on the Yangtze River to the north, Taihu Lake to the south, Suzhou to the east, and Changzhou to the west. It has an advantageous geographical location and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
Only two years ago, during the Battle of Songhu, a bloody battle broke out in this city and surrounding areas. The regular armies of China and Japan invested a total of nearly 100,000 troops here. The battle was fierce and the casualties were heavy.
, is unprecedented.
According to the later memories of a reporter from Japan's Asahi Daily News, more than ten thousand Japanese soldiers died here alone at that time. The elite Yokosaka Regiment of the Japanese Army was almost crippled. After the war, corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers.
At this time, thirty miles northwest of Changzhou City, Chen Peng, the commander of the 113th Regiment of the Hainan Army, was quietly lying on the top of a hill, using a telescope to observe the slowly approaching Japanese troops below.
"Are we going to get there? If we don't fight, the little devils will get over!" The grass around him trembled slightly, and the commander of the first battalion, Ma Changge, quietly moved over and asked anxiously.
"Wait a minute, this is the little devil's security force. Is the big fish still behind? Tell the brothers below to be careful. If anyone exposes us, don't blame me for being unkind!" Chen Peng said to Ma Changge
replied.
Below the valley is a Japanese squadron. They are driving slowly on a winding road in an armed truck. The machine gunners on the top of the truck will occasionally use machine guns to shoot at the bushes on both sides of the road where people may be hiding.
This was the vanguard of the Japanese army, the ones exploring the road ahead. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the inside story in advance, Chen Peng would definitely have ordered the firing. Once the enemy was alerted, the Japanese convoy behind would definitely have withdrawn.
The one participating in the ambush was the 113th Regiment of the Hainan Army. More than 3,000 soldiers lay motionless in the trenches that had been dug in advance. Their bodies were covered with weeds and green leaves. It was impossible to detect them from a distance.
After receiving the order from the general headquarters, the officers and soldiers of the 113th Regiment arrived in Wuxi after a night of rapid march. Because they were worried about being discovered in advance by Japanese reconnaissance planes, they marched purely on their feet from Changzhou to Wuxi.
According to intelligence from agents at the Shanghai Station of the Military Intelligence Section, a Japanese army unit will be escorting a Japanese soldier who has just been transferred back from the North China battlefield and will pass through here today. The mission of the 113th Regiment is to intercept this senior Japanese official and capture him here.
Get rid of it.
The Japanese security team had passed, and five minutes passed quietly, but the expected Japanese convoy still did not appear. Did the Japanese convoy change its route? Chen Peng could only secretly be worried in his heart, but he could not show it on the surface.
Because he knows that as a commander, no matter how difficult it is, he must remain calm and not let his inner impetuousness affect the morale of his troops.
With a piece of ginger candy in my mouth, I felt the chill in my body ease slightly. Although it was already the end of May, the ground was damp and cold because of the rain. Half an hour lying on the ground was enough to freeze my body.
Suddenly, on the top of a mountain in front, an inconspicuous small tree fell "in the wind". It was inconspicuous and therefore did not attract attention. However, Chen Peng, who saw this scene through the telescope, immediately became energetic.
That was a secret sentinel arranged in advance. If the Japanese convoy arrived, the small tree would be knocked down, and the ambush troops here would be ready immediately.
At the same time, the commander of the first battalion, Ma Changge, also saw this scene and said to Chen Peng beside him: "***! The little devil's convoy has finally arrived! Old Chen, it can't be fake anymore, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go down and get ready, let the brothers get ready!" Chen Peng gently lectured and ordered.
Soon, the Japanese army's car convoy appeared. At the head of the queue was an armed truck with a crooked machine gun mounted on the top of the truck. The carriage was filled with Japanese soldiers in yellow military uniforms who were loaded with live ammunition and ready for battle.
Vehicles entered the ambush circle one by one, and Chen Peng gradually discovered something was wrong. There were dozens of trucks full of soldiers racing against each other. Calculating 25 people per vehicle, there were nearly 2,000 people.
, even reaching twice what the intelligence said.
The advancing Japanese convoy was still on alert, the truck at the front was driving very slowly, and a few marching Japanese vehicles were singing a military song.
"Captain! Can we get there?" This time it was the same question, but this time there was a hint of solemnity in Ma Changge's tone.
The 3,000 Hainan Army faced off against the 2,000 elite Japanese troops. Moreover, due to the rapid march, they did not carry much heavy firepower and only had a dozen or so portable mortars. The Hainan Army was also proud of its firepower advantage and could not fully utilize it.
.
Should we do it or not? Chen Peng was torn in his heart. Looking at the Japanese convoy that was about to leave the valley, Chen Peng gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Fuck him!"
When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win! Three thousand Hainanese troops fought against two thousand Japanese troops. Even if the Hainanese soldiers did not have the usual heavy firepower cooperation, they still had certain equipment advantages compared to the Japanese army. We all carry two shoulders and one head, who is afraid of who?
After making up his mind, Chen Peng waved his hand, and a soldier behind him immediately pressed the detonator. With a series of roaring explosions, the bombs that had been planted in advance detonated one after another.
I saw that the first truck in the Japanese convoy was blown up, flames rose, and car wreckage and the broken limbs of Japanese soldiers scattered from the sky.
"Hit me hard!" Immediately after Chen Peng roared, Hainan Army soldiers on both sides of the hillside instantly emerged from their bunkers and opened fire together.
The Japanese army at the foot of the hillside did not live up to their title of elite. The elite Japanese soldiers were extremely well-trained in the face of sudden attacks.
Under the shouts of the Japanese squad leader, they jumped out of the car one after another and formed a counterattack team under cover in twos and threes. Soon a defensive front gradually formed.
Boom! Boom! The Hainan Army's mortars have fired, blowing up two Japanese trucks in an instant. The burning fireball swallowed up several Japanese soldiers who were closer. The little Japanese who turned into burning men howled miserably.
Gradually die.
Although the Hainan Army's offensive was fierce, Chen Peng knew that he had to resolve the battle as soon as possible. The Japanese troops in Wuxi City were not deaf or blind. After receiving the telegram, they would definitely send a reinforcement telegram quickly.
If the way is blocked by the incoming Japanese army, and as the Japanese army continues to increase its troops, the situation of the 113th Regiment will become very dangerous, so this battle cannot become a defensive tug-of-war.
"Blow the charge horn!" Thinking of this, Chen Peng immediately ordered.
The Hainan Army bugler blew the charge horn, and as the rapid sound spread, rows of sharp bayonets appeared, and Hainan Army soldiers rushed onto the road like a tide.
In an instant, the Hainan Army soldiers in dark green military uniforms were entangled with the Japanese soldiers in yellow military uniforms. There was blood on the swords and there were loud shouts of killing.
As for the disadvantaged Japanese troops, when they saw the Hainan Army charging down with bayonets for close combat, they would certainly not be afraid and flinch. In accordance with the regulations of the "Infantry Drill Code", they pulled the bolts of their guns one after another, and the yellow bullets were withdrawn one after another and fell to the ground.
.
The Japanese army's fighting style tended to be rigid, and their step-by-step fighting method caused them to lose a lot from the beginning. After a slight pause in repelling the ammunition, a Hainan Army soldier holding a submachine gun swept away more than a dozen people.
Situations like this are common. Not only were there some submachine guns, but some soldiers with shotguns were even more "wretched". When they saw the enemy's little devil coming towards them, they would shoot them away with one shot.
The shotgun's magazine capacity of seven or eight rounds is enough to kill several Japanese soldiers in a short period of time. And even if there is no ammunition or no time to reload, it can also be used as an iron hammer to hit the Japanese soldiers' skulls.
At the moment of contact, the Japanese soldiers fell down one after another. The first ones to rush up were all Japanese bayonet masters, but they were all knocked down one after another by the Hainan Army's "rogue" fighting style.
However, after the real hand-to-hand combat began, the Japanese army's bayonet fighting skills should not be underestimated. The cooperation of the Japanese troops in twos and threes caused great trouble to the Hainan Army.
This was a real, head-to-head hand-to-hand battle. The soldiers on both sides quickly became red-blooded. The clang of bayonets, the bone-crushing sound of rifle butts hitting the bridge of their noses, and the desperate screams of the dying became the essence of this battle.
's theme song.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz..." A Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over the sky at low altitude. The fighting on the ground was quickly discovered by the pilot. However, because the soldiers on both sides were so densely mixed together, the finger holding down the cannon trigger had to loosen.
It's open.
Soon, the Japanese reconnaissance plane turned and climbed, and the returning Japanese plane quickly disappeared in the southeast, which was Wuxi.
Seeing the Japanese aircraft disappearing from the horizon, Chen Peng knew that he did not have much time left for him, so he immediately led the soldiers of the guard company to join the bloody battlefield.
In fact, according to the military regulations of the Hainan Army, military officers above the regiment level are not allowed to personally participate in hand-to-hand combat. This is to ensure that the unit's command system will not be affected by the death of the commander.
However, the battle was so intense that even the artillerymen rushed forward with engineering shovels. Chen Peng didn't care about anything else and rushed forward with his guard company.
The military cap has long been lost. Chen Peng has a steel helmet on his head and a copper-ringed machete in his right hand. He found it specially made by a blacksmith. In his left hand is an M1911 pistol. When he encounters Japanese soldiers, he will hit it directly with the sword.
Cut over.
This is a melee, with no formations and no coordination of weapons. There is only the will, courage and fighting skills of the soldiers, a battle between blood and blood, and a battle between spirit and spirit.
It depends on which side can't bear it first, and whoever retreats first will lose!
A famous marshal of later generations once said that the troops who dare to see red with bayonets are the troops that dare to fight tough battles!
You must know that in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, it is extremely rare for both sides to have similar numbers of troops but still dare to launch hand-to-hand combat with Japan's elite troops.

ps: The TV series "Bright Sword" that I watched a long time ago was broadcast on TV today. I actually like the protagonist Li Yunlong in it.
I remember what he said when I saw Li Weidong commanding a new regiment of soldiers to attack Sakata's division head-on.
I still remember it fresh, as if in our real life, how many people can have such courage?
Okay! There’s a lot of nonsense today! There’s a suspicion that I’m deliberately making up the words! [Note: What the author said is not included in the subscription fee!]
