The soldiers of the 672nd Regiment who came to report tried their best to report, but then they spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to move.
His lungs were blown out by running. The 672nd Regiment position is more than 500 meters away from the headquarters, and the road is uphill. If he walked up normally or jogged, his lungs would not burst. He ran too fast, too fast.
In a hurry, he used all his strength to rush up to the Dongshan Fort at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Because his comrades in the 672nd Regiment were sacrificed all the time and killed in action all the time.
The enemy attacked like crazy, not only shelling their positions, but also the number of Japanese troops was too great. There were two large brigades on the front, and two Japanese infantry squadrons were attacked on the flanks.
Although a reserve battalion of the 667th Regiment arrived in time, the guard company of the 672nd Regiment had suffered heavy casualties. Wan Yi, the regiment leader, was seriously injured and could not command at all. But the most fatal thing was that the Japanese aircraft at this time
Dive bombing was carried out on Dongshan Fort. Anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns had to attack Japanese aircraft in the air.
Coupled with the artillery cover of the Japanese army, some artillery positions in Dongshan have been destroyed, making it impossible to effectively support the 672nd Regiment.
The reserve battalions of the 672nd Regiment and the 667th Regiment suffered heavy casualties, especially the reserve battalion of the 667th Regiment. They replaced the guard company of the 672th Regiment and were fighting the Japanese in a bloody battle.
The strength of the two sides was about the same, but the Japanese army was extremely capable of fighting. Dozens of people were killed or injured in the reserve battalion within just a few minutes of the battle.
There is no way to stop them. In less than an hour, all the reserve battalions of the 672nd Regiment and the 667th Regiment will be killed on the battlefield.
Therefore, in this battle, we can only say that Dragon Boat Festival and Kitano Sanjuroro are fighting a close fight. Dragon Boat Festival will eat the Japs’ 116th Regiment in an hour, plus an infantry brigade of the 58th Regiment. But the Japs will also eat them.
The 672nd Regiment and Dongshan Fort.
As mentioned before, Jiangyin Fortress is an oval-shaped defensive fortress. If the shell is not broken, the Japanese will not be able to break into the fortress even if they are exhausted. But if one part of the fortification is broken, then the entire fortress will be undefendable.
Dragon Boat Festival already knew this when he entered Jiangyin Fortress, so he was twice as careful as he was afraid that the Japanese army would break through any line of defense. However, the Japanese army still took advantage of the gap. Because once the 672 regiment's position and Dongshan were lost,
Even if the Japanese 116th Regiment was completely wiped out, it would be meaningless.
And what to do now, even if we want to retreat, it is impossible. Because the field hospital is in the headquarters, a large number of wounded cannot be transferred quickly.
"Reporting to the regiment, we are willing to block the enemy's assault force and buy time for the complete annihilation of the Japanese 116th Regiment."
At this moment, a Sichuan Army platoon leader who had just recovered and returned to the team loudly reported to the Dragon Boat Festival.
They had just returned from injury, and there were less than a hundred people in total. Some of them followed Zhao Beishan. At this time, there were still fifty people here.
Duan Wu looked at these independent regiment soldiers whose names he still couldn't call, and felt a little sad. Because everyone knew that if they go away, they will never come back in 1989.
So this feeling of saying goodbye just after we reunited made Duanwu feel sad deep in his heart.
He wanted to say something to the other party, but found that he couldn't pronounce the other party's name at all. The new recruits and veterans were replacing each other so fast that he couldn't remember all their names, even if the other party was an officer at the company or platoon level.
also the same.
The sadness in his heart made Duanwu's voice tremble a little. He said to the Sichuan Army platoon leader in front of him: There are many Japs. More than fifty of you have gone, I'm afraid..."
This was the first time I spoke in the Dragon Boat Festival and it was unfavorable. Because too many people had died in Grandma’s house. I just saw some familiar faces, but it was about to be a farewell.
But at this time, each of the soldiers understood the meaning of the group. Perhaps the fifty of them were really nothing in this war. Even if they were all killed, they might only be able to hold on for a few more minutes.
But they are willing to risk their lives in exchange for these few minutes.
They all smiled, stood at attention and saluted at the Dragon Boat Festival, and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, regiment, each of the soldiers in our independent regiment can be as good as ten. Today let's show them little devils what the bones of our independent regiment are."
How hard!”
Dragon Boat Festival stood up at this time and saluted all his soldiers in front of him.
This is an extremely high respect.
Dragon Boat Festival once again shouted with a roar that could call back the souls of others: "One hundred thousand men and one hundred thousand soldiers, the Chinese people are angry. Yesterday eight hundred broke one hundred thousand, today fifty thousand soldiers!"
The roar of the Dragon Boat Festival was shocking, and all the soldiers looked at each other, and their deep respect for the regiment suddenly arose again.
The same words, the same meaning, but when shouted from Tuanzuo's mouth, it was so powerful.
Then they roared:
"One hundred thousand sons and one hundred thousand soldiers, the sons and daughters of China are angry. Yesterday eight hundred defeated one hundred thousand, today fifty thousand soldiers!"
"One hundred thousand sons and one hundred thousand soldiers, the sons and daughters of China are angry. Yesterday eight hundred defeated one hundred thousand, today fifty thousand soldiers!"
···················
The voice was majestic and soaring to the sky. At this moment, it was not just the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were roaring, but even the soldiers of the 112th Division were roaring along with them.
The shocking sound spread five hundred meters away and reached the battlefield of the 672nd Regiment.
Amidst the enemy's artillery fire and the enemy's shouts of killing, they heard, they heard the roars of their companions, and the fifty figures flying towards them.
Their running was so brave and unstoppable. They were like divine soldiers descended from heaven, coming across a distance of more than 500 meters.
A small team of Japanese soldiers came up to meet them, but they were no match for them.
The Japanese wanted to fight with the opponent with bayonets, but the opponent used guns instead.
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment, all led by the Dragon Boat Festival, were fierce and cunning. They were brave and resourceful. They knew that their stabbing skills were not as good as those of their opponents, so they directly used submachine guns. When the Japanese reacted, a large number of them had already fallen.
The Hanoi Japanese ordered loudly: "Baga, the Chinese are shooting when they fight with their bayonets, shoot me."
Hanoi yelled, but it was already too late. The soldiers of the independent regiment had already come over to fight with the Japanese soldiers. If the Japanese machine gunners had fired at this time, their casualties would probably be even greater.
"Bagaya road!"
The offensive of part of the Hanoi Brigade was blocked and was temporarily blocked by the independent regiment and the reserve battalion of the 667th Regiment, and there were signs of being repulsed.
But seeing that the left wing was regaining lost ground, the soldiers of the 672nd Regiment also fought back and repelled another round of Japanese attacks.
At the same time, the first MCC brigade on Dongshan Mountain also encountered an unprecedented setback.
Originally, it only took seven or eight minutes for the two Japanese squadrons of the MCC Battalion to rush to the under-strength Dongshan Headquarters. But who would have thought that the Dragon Boat Festival sentence: "One hundred thousand sons and one hundred thousand soldiers, the Chinese sons and daughters are angry, yesterday eight hundred broke
One hundred thousand, now fifty thousand troops!" The soldiers roared, each fighting one for ten. Not only did they block the attack of two squadrons of the imperial army, but an Oerlikon 20mm machine gun caused heavy losses to the two squadrons of the imperial army.
Let alone capturing the Dongshan command post at this time, it would be difficult for them to return alive.
Because the diameter of the barrel of the Oerlikon 20mm machine gun can reach 70, the rate of fire can reach 800 rounds per minute, and the maximum shooting height is about 4,300 meters.
When it uses high-explosive and armor-piercing projectiles, it can penetrate a 30mm homogeneous steel plate at a distance of 400 meters. Any lightly armored target will be extremely vulnerable in front of the Oerlikon 20mm cannon, let alone a human.
.
Behind the trees and small rocks where the Japs were hiding was useless. The Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft guns would quickly flatten them all.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. What is terrifying is that when the Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft gun shells hit the Japanese, the Japanese could not even leave a complete corpse.
The MCC devil stuck his buttocks behind a soil slope that was only half a meter high. He took the walkie-talkie on the radio and shouted loudly: "Kitano-kun, Kitano-kun, immediately order the air force to move the Oerlikon 20mm on the east mountain."
Knock out the anti-aircraft guns, otherwise all the MCC brigade will be smashed on the east mountain.
Let me say it again, let the Air Force destroy the Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft gun on the east mountain at all costs, otherwise the MCC brigade will be smashed to pieces, all of them will be smashed to pieces. Do you understand? If we are all killed, your plan will be ruined.
