The old people in the guerrillas have all heard the story between Jiang Tietou and his wife. When we were still in the Yingyashan base area, during a counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, his wife was caught by the Japs in order to cover Jiang Tietou, because After being betrayed by the traitor, the little devil learned her identity and wanted to use her to force Jiang Tietou to show up. However, in order to avoid this happening, she hit her head on a stone roller and committed suicide.
Although Huang Zhongming didn't know about this, he observed the words and emotions and immediately felt something. When he sighed with regret in his heart, he also thought of his two brothers. He looked at Fan Yongcai and asked: "Captain Fan, I don't know Did you meet any of my brothers on your way here?"
Fan Yongcai shook his head: "We didn't meet any other brothers along the way." Looking at Jiang Tietou, he asked in surprise: "Boss Tietou, you have divided your troops."
"No, they are a few wounded soldiers, and Huang Zhongming's two younger brothers. Huang Zhongming is not from our cadet army. He stayed to help at my request."
Fan Yongcai's answer made Huang Zhongming a little worried. Seeing this, Meng Taishan comforted him and said: "Xiao Huang, don't worry, Yongxiu was ours in the past, they will be fine."
When Xu Zhi led the Second Brigade to catch up, Oishi Keiichiro suppressed artillery fire again, but this time, he did not use poison gas bombs. The sound of artillery rumbled, and the cadets put on gas masks nervously. Xu Zhi Surrounded by more than a dozen officers, he first expressed condolences to the surviving cadets in the reconnaissance camp, and then went up to the river embankment to observe the enemy's situation without fear of artillery fire. He saw the Japanese landing ship returning to the other side, and asked Fan Yongcai: "Lao Fan, what's going on? Why not attack."
Fan Yongcai blushed and was embarrassed to say that he was frightened by the gas bomb. He said, "Master, I'm waiting for your order."
Xu Zhi glanced at him coldly, his eyes swept over the dead soldiers of the reconnaissance camp, and the next moment he raised his fist and shouted: "The brothers of the reconnaissance camp must not die in vain, Shi Hua."
"Here." The commander of the second brigade, a man of medium height, responded loudly,
Xu Zhi pointed at the Japanese soldiers who were nervously building beachhead fortifications and said: "Kill them, no one will be left behind."
"Yes." Shi Hua responded loudly and turned around to gather the team.
Fan Yongcai said: "The Japanese army has gunboat support and poison gas bombs. If they attack by force, they will suffer heavy losses."
"No matter how heavy the casualties are, we must kill them. Should we wait for them to establish a beachhead and then wait for the main force to arrive?"
The Japanese landing ship was returning to the north shore. Fan Yongcai saw this and fell silent.
In less than five minutes, the Second Brigade, under the command of Shi Hua, launched an attack on about a large group of Japanese on the river beach.
The densely packed cadets rushed out from under the river embankment on the south bank, making Suzuki Chunsong’s eyelids jump. When Kuang Liang and others appeared, although they acted extremely bravely, they actually defeated Jiang Tietou and more than a dozen of them with a small number of hits. The "cooked duck" was rescued, but after all, the number of people was limited, so although Suzuki was angry that Nobumura failed to live up to his expectations, he was not frustrated because the third wave of landing troops had already landed. But now, as a trainee of a brigade Appeared in front of him, he realized that the garrison reinforcements had arrived, and that his raid plan was very likely to fail. He was like a deflated ball, frustrated, "Ba Ge." He cursed angrily, and then I can't hold my breath anymore,
Sueo Sakamoto stepped forward and asked: "Sir, what should we do now? Otherwise, please ask Major Oishi to continue bombarding us with poison gas bombs."
"This is no longer necessary. The Chinese are well prepared. The effectiveness of poison gas bombs is very limited. Report to the division commander. The plan to seize Yongxiu quickly and surprise Nanchang has failed."
"Then do we still want to continue crossing the river?"
"No, let Dashi bring the person back."
More than three thousand soldiers rushed out of the river embankment in dense numbers, and then rushed down in the loud sound of the charge. The Japanese on the river beach were stunned. "Click, click, click..." The anti-disease general machine gun began to prepare for fire. "Empty, empty, empty..." More than a dozen mortars also began to join the battle. The grenades screamed and smashed down. Mushroom clouds rose up one after another. Many Japanese soldiers were thrown away. The screams suddenly became louder.
The battlefield situation changed too quickly and completely. If it weren't for the captain Ichiro Aramura, the Japanese army would have collapsed by now.
"Don't panic, hold on, hold on. As long as you hold on to this position, the large troops on the north bank will be able to kill you calmly. Soldiers, your opportunity to make a difference has come. Prepare to shoot." He shouted, under his command. , the Japs chose a place to lie down, set up a 38-meter cover, and started shooting at the cadets.
As mentioned earlier, the guerrillas are good at harassment warfare. Although they can fight in frontal combat, their combat effectiveness is one level lower than that of the regular student army.
Under Ouyang Yun's deliberate shaping, the combat characteristics of the Xuebing Army are actually similar to those of the Japanese army. That is, they both emphasize absolute firepower preparation to weaken the enemy's firepower intensity and morale. Only after sufficient firepower preparation is completed, they will be dispatched. The troops carried out a strong attack. Xu Zhi was a master in guerrilla warfare, but he was lacking in this kind of positional warfare. Of course, from a strategic point of view, the Japs on the south bank must be eliminated. Therefore, even though he knew that he would have to pay a considerable price, he still We can only order a strong attack,
The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, and the defending side had an inherent advantage. Hundreds of 38-guns and a dozen light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time. The trainees who rushed to the front immediately fell to pieces. "MD." There was "Old Man." The "bandits" became angry, they cursed, took off their gas masks and rushed forward even more fearlessly. The "bandits" have a characteristic, sometimes they are very afraid of death, but once they go crazy, they will not be afraid of death, brother. Their blood ignited the anger in their hearts, and they fired while cursing. The muzzle of the Weiqing assault rifle in their hands spit out a long flame, and a string of bullets swept past, and the Japanese machine gun shooters who were given priority were Several fell down immediately,
It was difficult for the First Division and Second Brigade to attack, and it was equally difficult for the Japanese army to defend it. It was too close to the river, and water would seep in if you dug a little. In winter, the consequences of getting wet with water were very serious, so the little devils never thought about it from the beginning to the end. To excavate the river beach to build fortifications, they previously just picked up pebbles or other objects and piled them into simple fortifications. However, the actual protective effect of this kind of fortifications was far less than the psychological comfort effect. Hundreds or even more A volley of Wei Qing assault rifles could be fired at the same time as hundreds of light machine guns. With such density of firepower, let alone the fact that the Japanese army had no fortifications to rely on, even if they had fortifications, they would never dare to show their heads to fight back.
The initial battle brought huge casualties to both sides. As the students rushed within 100 meters of the Japanese army, the battle began to take on a one-sided situation. The guerrillas' trump card was used. In just five days, Within minutes, nearly a thousand grenades were thrown into the midst of the Japs, finally shattering their leveled resistance.
