The Japanese were coming from all directions, and we didn't know whether they were one squadron, two squadrons, or more.
But the brothers of Dragon Boat Festival and the Special Agent Company had no choice.
They roared and rushed towards the Japanese with submachine guns in hand. They wanted to buy time for Xu Dazhuang and destroy the Japanese artillery positions.
But the Japanese also noticed the intentions of the Chinese soldiers. Not only did they mobilize three infantry squadrons to intercept, but the Japanese artillery also wanted to escape.
Xu Dazhuang looked at his brothers who were fighting bloody battles with several times the Japs, and roared angrily: "Brothers, in today's battle, ten will die but no one will survive. But I hope that I can exchange one death for nine lives!"
Xu Dazhuang's tragic roar made the brothers behind him startled.
But soon, they understood. They wanted to exchange the lives of more than thirty of them for the lives of the other brothers in the spy company.
Once upon a time, they cherished their lives as gold. But today, they have to sacrifice their lives!
Crazy and persevering smiles gradually appeared on each of their faces.
The smiles on their dark faces were so honest and innocent.
But in the past, if someone dared to say this to them, they would definitely scold the other person's eight generations of ancestors.
But the appearance of the Dragon Boat Festival made them pick up all the men who had long forgotten or abandoned them.
Because for some unknown reason, when they met the Dragon Boat Festival, the manly nature that had disappeared for many years or decades came back.
They feel that they are not old, they are still young. And they don't know why, they are so angry at this time.
It was Duanwu who told them that their current enemy was completely different from the enemies they had seen before.
The warlords fought for territory and local tax revenue, rather than simply killing people.
But these invaders are here to destroy the entire Chinese nation. Therefore, they can no longer remain silent. They must use all their courage and determination to defeat these invaders and bury them forever in this land of China.
Thinking of this, all the soldiers of the special agent company following Xu Dazhuang became more determined in their eyes. They pulled out all the grenade tabs tied to their bodies and roared: "One death for nine lives! Brothers, let's take the first step!
"
"Xu Dazhuang?"
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he stabbed the Japanese fighting with him to death with one shot. He looked at Xu Dazhuang, who was rushing towards the enemy's artillery position a hundred meters away, and shouted his name.
But it was too late, Xu Dazhuang had already made his choice, to exchange one death for nine lives!
Boom! Boom!...
The explosion rumbled, and bloody flames shot into the sky. In the billowing smoke, the Japanese artillery position turned into a sea of flames filled with gunpowder smoke.
The Japanese artillery position was gone, but the lives of more than thirty young people died in the wind with this violent explosion.
The soldiers were extremely sad in their hearts, but Duanwu had to issue an order to retreat at this time.
They came here not to fight the Japs, but to blow up the Japanese artillery positions.
The Japanese artillery posed a great threat to the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment. In just 20 minutes of fighting, the 2nd Battalion suffered more than 70 casualties in the Japanese artillery fire.
And there were more than 70 casualties in twenty minutes, so what about one hour?
An hour later, it was not enough for Duanwu to fill the entire battalion. So he could only take the risk to storm the enemy's artillery position.
Xu Dazhuang's sacrifice made Duanwu heartbroken, but he had to think about his brothers who were still alive.
He held a submachine gun and aimed at the Japanese, firing desperately, and loudly ordered the soldiers to retreat.
But there were too many Japs, and Zhou Dabang and a dozen soldiers were surrounded by the Japs.
Duan Wu opened fire continuously at the Japs surrounding Zhou Da Bang. The little Japs almost fell down in pieces, but there were too many Japs. As soon as Duan Wu opened a hole for Zhou Da Bang, he was blocked by the Japs who arrived later.
, and a large number of Japanese soldiers were rushing towards Duanwu and others.
"Tuanzu, be careful!"
A soldier from a special agent company discovered that a Japanese machine gunner was sneaking up on Duanwu and shooting at him. When he pulled the trigger to shoot at the opponent, he blocked his body in front of Duanwu.
The Japanese machine gunner was killed by him, but he was shot three times and hit Duan Wu's body.
The two fell to the ground together.
Dragon Boat Festival hugged the soldier who was covered in blood, his eyes suddenly became wet, and hot tears burst out and he couldn't stop them at all.
Duanwu knew that he couldn't cry and shouldn't cry, but he couldn't stop the tears from pouring out of his eyes.
Hot tears fell on the seriously injured soldier's face, and the soldier showed a bright smile: "Tuan, Tuan Zuo, didn't you say that tears are reserved for the enemy? Let's go, I'm fine, I can still...
....I can still fight the Japanese..."
The soldier was comforting Duanwu, but his life had been exhausted and he lay limply in Duanwu's arms.
"Ah! Ah!"
Duanwu roared. But at this moment, the collar on the back of his neck tightened and he was dragged away.
It was Lao Snor, and Lao Snor and two other soldiers tried their best to drag the Dragon Boat Festival away.
At the same time, Zhou Dabang's hearty laughter came from the distance: "Hahaha, little devil, if you want your grandfather's life, just come! Hahaha! Hahaha!..."
Zhou Da Bang's laughter echoed in the forest for a long time, mixed with the frightened screams of the little devil.
Zhou Dabang looked at the brothers who had successfully retreated in the distance and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
Boom!
The violent explosion sounded again, like a thunder in the dark night, and like the heroic song of the awakening of the Chinese people!
All the soldiers of the special agent company were in grief. Two of the three commanders of the special agent company were killed in the battle. In this battle, 113 officers and soldiers of the special agent company also lost their lives.
They succeeded and successfully destroyed the Japanese artillery positions. But they also paid a heavy price for it.
They cried until they couldn't stop crying, they cried until they were in tears.
At this moment, everyone could not hold back their tears.
But at this time, they must wipe away their tears and face the crazy and cold-blooded enemy again.
The Japs were not devastated by the death of their companions. Instead, they became more aggressive and charged towards the position of the Independent Regiment.
Their artillery was gone, so they lost their firepower advantage. Moreover, they realized that the number of Chinese soldiers was not very large. Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Mitsubishi of the Japanese Second Battalion immediately ordered that the troops be divided into two groups to launch a general attack on the independent regiment.
The first route is the group of Japs who were already at war with Xie Jinyuan.
Xie Jinyuan, with only about 70 soldiers from the Second Battalion, was originally going to go around to the Japanese left wing to feign an attack, creating conditions for a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery positions during the Dragon Boat Festival.
But I didn't expect the Japanese to go together with the Dragon Boat Festival.
So Xie Jinyuan had an encounter with a squadron of the Japanese army.
This battle continued even after the Japanese artillery positions were blown up during the Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Mitsubishi, another Japanese squadron joined the attack.
Xie Jinyuan had to order the Second Battalion to retreat after more than thirty people were killed in the Second Battalion. They withdrew to the defense area of the First Battalion, and together with the First Battalion resisted the two squadrons of the Japanese army.
But at this moment, three other squadrons of the Japanese army were launching an attack on the independent regiment.
The 1st Battalion had been severely damaged by Japanese artillery and was unable to parry. Even if Duanwu arrived with a special agent company, it would not help. Moreover, almost all the bullets of the submachine guns were used up, and there were not many machine gun bullets left.
Of course, these are the bullets they carry with them. There are also machine gun bullets on the position, but they don't bring that many. What's more, there is no time to change the bullets at this time.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he shrank his troops and loudly ordered: "Everyone is here, come up with swords!"
The soldiers, both injured and uninjured, hung their bayonets on the muzzles of their guns.
They hid behind trees, quietly waiting for the moment when the Japanese approached.
Each of their hearts was beating fast. But this was not fear, but a natural reaction after experiencing strenuous exercise.
But the accelerated heartbeat is not very friendly to those injured soldiers.
The injured soldier was bleeding profusely, and the blood dripped onto the cold ground, gradually gathering into a puddle.
The seriously injured soldier tried his best to lean against the tree, leaving a long trail of blood under his body.
They took out the grenades they had on them, silently unscrewed the cover, and took out the safety tab inside.
Their vision flickered. At this moment, they were so weak that they only had one thought, which was to hope that their lives would last until the moment the Japanese invaders appeared.
quiet!
At this moment, the whole forest was extremely quiet, except for the crackling branches of the fire, and you could hear a needle drop.
The little devils also slowed down at this time. Every step they took felt a chill on their backs.
After the gunfire stopped, they had no idea where their enemies were hiding.
There was fire in the forest, but that tiny bit of fire was a complete test of their eyesight in such darkness.
What's more, the corpses of Chinese soldiers are everywhere in the entire forest.
They can guarantee that if there were Chinese soldiers lying on the ground pretending to be dead, they would not be able to tell the difference.
But they didn't have time to check, because they were more worried about what was behind each tree than the corpses on the surface.
In the eyes of the little devil, behind every tree there seems to be a savage beast that eats people for a living.
They walked with fear, as if every step they took was like crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and crossing countless rivers of time.
But their commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mitsubishi, did not have this patience. He shouted loudly: "Bagayalu, how long do you have to wait? Attack me, attack quickly!"
The Japanese had no choice but to speed up.
At the same time, Duanwu and all the soldiers of the Independent Regiment also tightened their grip on the steel guns in their hands.
In this battle, their chance of surviving is very small. But no one has any complaints. Because under the guidance of Duanwu, they have understood why they are standing here.
They are standing here not for money, not for military exploits, not for promotions, but just to protect the dignity of their country and nation so that they will no longer be invaded and trampled by foreigners! . . .
