After the huge explosion, flames shot into the sky, and a life of only 16 years old also died in the wind with this explosion.
He spent the same time and had a great youth, but for this country and this nation, he chose to die with the Japanese tanks.
This was the only way for Chinese soldiers to deal with Japanese tanks when there were no anti-tank weapons.
They tried to put explosive charges on the body of the tank and on the tracks of the tank, but it was useless. The only possible way to blow up the tank with explosive charges was to get under the tank and use a human body as a shelf for the explosive charges.
.
Although Zhu Zhu was young, he had experienced the baptism of war. In the Battle of Songhu, he was one of the Gui soldiers who braved Japanese machine gunfire and charged.
On October 21, 1937, all Guangxi Army units under the 21st Group Army launched a counterattack against the Japanese army. This was also the largest counterattack launched by the Chinese army during the Songhu Battle.
At that time, Chief of Staff Bai did not understand the strength of the Japanese army. He believed that the Japanese army had limited ammunition and that as long as the Guangxi army rushed over, it could defeat the Japanese army with the powerful close combat capabilities of the Guangxi soldiers.
But this war was different from a warlord melee. The Japanese army's firepower exceeded his imagination. Blocked by the enemy's powerful firepower network of navy and army, batches of Guangxi officers and soldiers died on the way to the charge.
But it is undeniable that the Gui army's combat effectiveness is very strong. When some officers and soldiers charged, they did not cut through the barbed wire blocked by the Japanese army, but threw themselves on it and let the officers and soldiers behind them step on their bodies and continue to advance.
This spirit of not being afraid of death is truly breathtaking.
But it is a pity that this did not play a substantial role in the face of the Japanese army's steel torrent.
The Japanese Ninth Division, the 101st Division and the Part of the Third Division also launched a counterattack against the Gui Army. After six days of fierce fighting, the Gui Army suffered heavy losses. The 60,000-strong army was routed and nine out of ten brigade commanders were killed.
Therefore, in the young Zhuzi's heart, apart from the four words "defend the family and the country", there is even more deep hatred.
And not only him, but all the officers and soldiers of the Gui Army in the temporary first brigade had the same mood.
They are full of deep hatred for the Japanese, and this hatred will not go away even until they die.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the bravery of the Gui army at this time is intimidating. The Japanese machine guns cannot deter these Gui soldiers at all. They have always charged against the Japanese bullets.
When a large army is fighting, this kind of fearless charge will seem a bit stupid. But when the weapons and equipment of the Gui army are no worse than that of the Japanese army, and their numbers are absolutely superior, the Japanese army all become Sun Tzu.
Their bushido could no longer boost their momentum. They were chased like rabbits by the Gui army.
The reinforcements from the two squadrons of the Botian detachment were like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to make even a single ripple.
Namada Chuichi saw fear in such a one-sided massacre. And for some reason, he always felt that the matter was not over yet.
And sure enough, before Namada Chuichi could make up his mind, a violent explosion sounded over his camp. One of his tanks exploded for no reason.
Of course, there was definitely no explosion for no reason. Instead, someone used a mortar to blow up the Japanese tank. Then the shells hit one after another.
Tanks in the camp, Japanese machine gun positions, Japanese artillery positions, etc.
At this moment, no one knows how many artillery shells whizzed past the Japanese camp.
This was Dragon Boat Festival's last trump card and all his assets. Except for his personal attack on Japanese tanks, the rest of the mortars were fired by the most experienced artillerymen.
These veterans are also old gunners. Although the speed of shelling is not as fast as that of the Dragon Boat Festival, the accuracy is very high.
Many important targets in the Namada detachment camp exploded almost at the same time. If the old devil Bota hadn't escaped quickly enough, I'm afraid he would have also gone to see their Amaterasu.
The Japanese Japs Botian hid in the middle of the two tents, trying to catch their breath, and ordered: "Go quickly and call back all the attacking troops, and tell them to return to defense quickly."
The Japanese staff officer on the side said: "Your Excellency, it is too late to return to defense. The enemy's reinforcements have already arrived. We have suffered heavy losses. Even if all the troops are withdrawn now, this camp cannot be defended."
"Baga! Didn't it say that the enemy's reinforcements would not arrive until two o'clock in the afternoon? Damn it!"
Namada Chuichi was very angry, but he had nothing to do at this time. Because the enemy's reinforcements had arrived and the Namada detachment suffered heavy losses, he had to retreat even if he did not retreat.
"Order the first squad and the second squad of the guards to join forces with the baggage regiment to block the enemy's reinforcements. Order the attacking troops in Yushan to retreat in stages and not give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage."
Namada gave an order, then glanced at the imperial soldiers in Nanshan who were still fighting tenaciously, and could only issue an order to fight until the end.
When the Japs communications troops on Nanshan received orders from Namada Chuichi, they felt despair because the brigade commander had given up on them. Although Botian Chuichi's words were very impassioned, he ran away, leaving only them.
Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
The Japanese signal soldier took out a dagger and committed suicide. He gave up his life out of fear. A few minutes later, the rest of the Japanese soldiers all went back to see their Amaterasu.
Thousands of Japanese soldiers died on the Nanshan position in Yushan, dyeing the land of Nanshan red.
The corpses of the Japanese were piled up like mountains, and a temporary brigade of soldiers was organized to clean up the corpses of the Japanese.
Xie Jinyuan led the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the 174th Division in a symbolic pursuit. When the Japanese fled into the woods like a lost dog, Xie Jinyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
In this battle, it's good to be alive, this is the subtext in Xie Jinyuan's heart.
He even felt that if there was no regimental seat in this battle, the entire independent regiment and the 174th Division would be at risk. Because you can imagine that everyone has just experienced a battle, and the Botian detachment arrived.
They not only pressed down the border with large numbers of troops, but also dispatched a flying wing of bombers to carry out carpet bombing on the Yushan position.
If it hadn't been for Duanwu's foresight to place a bunch of straw men on the battlefield and deceive the Japanese aircraft, I'm afraid the entire independent regiment and the 174th Division would have ceased to exist long ago.
And if Dragon Boat Festival had not used jungle warfare to disperse the strength of the Botian detachment, Yushan would have been unable to defend it at this time. It is not certain that all members would be killed. Even if the temporary first brigade really arrived on time, seeing
There can only be corpses on the ground.
Because the temporary brigade arrived after 12 noon, and at this time, if the Dragon Boat Festival had not held back a large number of Japanese soldiers, the Yushan position would have been undefendable.
Therefore, Xie Jinyuan led his men in pursuit, but he was unsure. Once the Japanese army counterattacked, it would probably be another anxious offensive and defensive battle.
When Xie Jinyuan led people down the mountain, there were less than 500 people. However, there were more than a large group of Japanese who came down from Beishan.
If the Japanese realized that the pursuers didn't even have half of them, they might turn around and outflank Xie Jinyuan and others.
However, the Japanese were frightened out of their wits and were defeated like a mountain. Even though at least 4,000 of them would escape in the end, they no longer had the courage to fight against the madman Duan Wu.
The planes of the empire cannot be killed, and the tanks of the empire are like crispy walnuts. As for tactics, compared with the Dragon Boat Festival, is that called tactics? With an absolutely superior force, he was beaten like a bear. This can also be called tactics.
?
Namada was frustrated. Before, he mocked Shigeto Chiaki as a pig. But now it seems that he is not much smarter than a pig.
Fortunately, he escaped alive and brought back nearly half of his troops.
"Baga, that Dragon Boat Festival is too powerful. Without ten times the strength advantage, no army in the empire can even hope to defeat him."
Namada Chuichi complained, and at this time his chief of staff asked: "Your Excellency, what should we do next? How should we explain to Mr. Matsui?"
"snort!"
Namada Chuichi snorted coldly, and then said: "Let him scold the intelligence department and the blocking troops! We were already about to win, but it was the enemy who showed up with a large number of reinforcements that caused us to fall short. Do you understand?"
The chief of staff suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up: "Sir, how tall are you?"
"Tall ass, if I am really that tall, can I be beaten into such a bear shape by others? Let's go! Let's talk about it when we go back."
Bo Tianzhong was disheartened and left in defeat with his remaining soldiers. At this time, Duanwu was rummaging through the Japanese camp for useful things.
He was walking with a limp, and the soldiers wanted to laugh when they saw him. During the battle, Duanwu was like a good man, running faster than anyone else. When the battle was over, he immediately became lame.
Of course, they definitely don’t know that the Dragon Boat Festival also hurts during the war. But he can’t say it hurts. And in the war, either you die or I die. If you tell the Japanese that my legs hurt, will you let me go? Can the Japanese agree?
So regardless of whether it hurts or not, even if you are really lame, you have to fight like a good person. Because your enemy will not sympathize with you. If you want to survive a war, you have to be stronger than anyone else.
.
However, now that the battle is over, what is going on in the Dragon Boat Festival?
He is looking for valuable things. The war is over, but the debt he owes has not yet been paid. He has to get some pensions for the brothers who died in the battle. Don't even think about counting on those bastards in the logistics department.
I don’t know when the application will be approved.
What's more, Lao Shou, Xu Dazhuang and others are all mercenaries he hired. They come to fight for money, which is understandable.
So what is the war fought for? That is money!
But all the money for the Dragon Boat Festival was given to Sun Bo'an. So it was really difficult to live in this tight time.
"Special Commissioner, we are looking for you at the military base."
At this moment, soldiers from the 174th Division came to see the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Um, let you sit down and wait, I'm busy right now!"
Duanwu waved his hand directly, and then used the Type 38 rifle used as a walking stick to open the door curtain of a tent. He found a large number of weapons and ammunition, and quickly called to Xie Jinyuan: "Old Xie, Old Xie, move these things back quickly and tell me
None of them can touch it! These things all belong to me."
"Yes, Tuanzuo!"
Xie Jinyuan responded, and then called for people to move things. At this time, Duanwu saw Lao Shou and others pulling a cannon.
Duanwu limped over and said, "Old snoring, don't mess with that big guy. You can't move with such a small number of people, so take the cannonballs."
"Tuanzuo, if you don't have a cannon, what are you going to do with the cannonballs?"
Lao Snoring was puzzled and winked at Duanwu. Lao Snoring seemed to understand something and quickly called Zhao Dahu from the 1st Guard Company to help pull the cannon up the mountain. He then ordered the soldiers from the 2nd Special Company to move all the shells away.
.
Because just imagine, can these several-ton cannons be carried away by just the people of the Independent Regiment? Only the 48th Army of the Grand Corps has this capability.
But if you have a cannon, you need cannonballs, right? So Dragon Boat Festival is waiting for Commander Liao here.
So it is not easy to make money, you have to use your brain.
“················”
The signal soldier who came to deliver the message looked at it with big eyes and a very speechless expression. At first he thought that Dragon Boat Festival was busy with something, but it turned out that he was busy robbing things.
The signal soldier was speechless. He didn't expect Duan Wu to be such a person.
He quickly ran back to report the incident to the military commander. Commander Liao was also speechless.
Yan Wushuang took the opportunity and said: "Military seat, it seems that our special commissioner is also a money-lover?"
Commander Liao said: "This person has his own weaknesses. The same goes for our special commissioner.
And girl, don’t you think he has weaknesses, which are better than being monolithic?
I think back then, our 48th Army also did business with this special commissioner. The weapons and ammunition he sold were really cheap.
We finally got the kid’s Type 38 rifle for only 20 yuan a piece. This is much cheaper than the German Type 88 rifle. And the quality is not bad at all.”
"Okay, military commander, are you still praising him? I just can't stand it. This battle was fought by our 48th Army, and we still have to buy the weapons ourselves in the end."
"You girl, you are too short-sighted. You have to think about the good of the special commissioner and be friends with him so that we can handle our affairs. For example, this time, if there is no special commissioner here, can Yushan be defended?"
"Military seat, in my opinion, it was our reinforcements that arrived in time that solved the siege of Yushan. By the way, military seat, what kind of army is the temporary first brigade? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Commander Liao smiled proudly and said: "Little girl, you still have a lot to learn. If I didn't hide such a trump card, what reinforcements would I get for today's battle at Yushan? This is a trump card of our 48th Army.
I used it to fight the little devil in the end.
But it was worth it, the Japanese Chongteng detachment was completely wiped out, and the Botian detachment was severely damaged. Our 48th Army can avenge its shame this time. Hahaha!"
Commander Liao laughed heartily and beamed with joy.
But at this time, Yan Wushuang did not have such a smile. Instead, he hesitated and asked: "Military, what should we do next? The troops suffered a lot of casualties this time. I heard that Commander Zhong of the 174th Division also seemed to be seriously injured.
