Although they would never admit it verbally, deep down in their hearts, the Japanese troops stationed in China, especially the middle and high-level officers, had developed a fear of the student army. The Bingjun never took advantage again, and that was it. The endless new weapons of the Xuebingjun were a heavy blow to their confidence. The capital of the Japanese army's arrogance was their weapons and the quality of their soldiers. However, in these two aspects , but the Xuebing Army firmly suppressed them. The Japanese are inherently afraid of the strong, so the harder the Xuefing Army beat them, the less courage they had. Gradually, the so-called imperial army's majesty was at least in the Xuefeng Army. There was nothing left in front of the soldiers,
After the Japanese army began to attack Jiangxinzhou, casualties of the guerrillas on the island appeared. The Japanese naval guns were not a vegetarian. Jiangxinzhou could not build a solid defense at all, so although Fox Thirteen's quilt armor was unique It did play a certain protective role, but it was still difficult to withstand the high-density bombardment of the Japanese army.
Fox Shisan had a clear understanding of this, so during the mobilization meeting before the war, he carefully explained to the guerrillas who participated in the Jiangxinzhou blockade that this battle was dangerous, and Jiangxinzhou might become their burial place.
The guerrillas' answer was simple: "Kill one to get enough, kill two to earn one. Commander, don't worry, we are not afraid of death."
After overturning three landing ships and killing hundreds of Japs, all the wire mines in that area of water were exhausted. The next step was to fight with the enemy, and there was no longer any possibility of trickery.
A motorized sailboat of more than 20 tons successfully washed up on the beach. Under the cover of two crooked machine guns, two Japanese soldiers rushed to the bow of the ship carrying the bridge plank. Just as they were about to let go, gunshots rang out and two Japanese soldiers were hit in the head. The bullet was shot in the heart. The former fell to the deck without saying a word. The latter fell to the ground wailing, and then groaned feebly. The two crooked machine guns immediately found the target and turned their muzzles towards it, "Duh duh" In the sound, a figure who looked like a bumpkin trembled, and another person retreated sideways into the individual soldier's pit.
On the motorboat, under the command of a sergeant, two more Japanese soldiers stood up and went to the front deck to lift the bridge plank. However, just as they were holding on to the bridge plank, gunfire rang out again from the shore. The two Japanese soldiers also learned their lesson. , both of them lay down on the deck when the gunfire rang out, but one person was still hit by a bullet in the left shoulder, and immediately screamed in pain. The sergeant organized several more attempts, but all failed. On a troop transport ship weighing about 100 tons, a major officer waved his fist and shouted angrily: "Ba Ge, are you a pig-headed person? Wade into the water and land quickly."
On the shore, Fox Shisan ran here with Xiang Yunyong. He pointed his hands one by one and said: "Grenade, listen to my greeting."
The guerrillas who were pointed out nodded, put their guns on their backs, and then each took out a grenade.
"How about one? Look at me."
Everyone looked at Fox Thirteen and saw that he was holding a grenade in his right hand and a grenade bag in his left hand. They all followed suit and made the same preparations.
"Yunyong, bring a few people to help us attract machine gun fire."
"Yes." Xiang Yunyong responded and named a few guerrillas with good marksmanship.
Fox Thirteen ordered: "Start."
Xiang Yunyong walked a few dozen meters to the left, climbed up a small slope, took aim at a Japanese machine gunner, and pulled the trigger fiercely.
On the river, many Japanese who had fallen into the water were struggling. It was the first day of the first lunar month, the temperature was only one or two degrees, and the northwest wind was blowing. If you stayed in the water for a few minutes, you would be so cold that you would have runny noses and tears. A lot, and if it lasts longer, it will definitely lead to drowning or freezing to death.
The Japanese firepower was actively exposed and was attracted to Xiang Yunyong and the others. Fox Thirteen looked over and felt that the timing was right. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me." Then he rushed out.
More than two dozen bomb-throwing experts appeared on the river beach carrying grenade slings. In a matter of minutes, nearly a hundred grenades were thrown out. On the motorboat that successfully washed up the beach, a dozen Japanese soldiers were descending to the river under the command of the sergeant. In the water, several of them couldn't help but tremble as soon as they stood waist-high in the water. But before they could adapt, grenades hit their heads and faces.
"Kill them." On the troop carrier behind, the major immediately ordered to provide fire support. The gunshots of the Type 15 semi-automatic rifle rang out. Several guerrillas were shot. They shouted and threw the grenades in their hands, and then Throwing himself down on the cold river beach,
"Bullshit." Fox Thirteen threw four grenades in one go, then turned around and ran. Amidst the sound of bullets hitting the soil, he flew behind the slope.
Fox Thirteen's grenades were thrown too accurately. One hit a rescue boat directly, and two more landed on the motorboat, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese. It also attracted the attention of the major, who commanded the knife. In one fell swoop, his subordinates paid close attention to him. As a result, more than a dozen Type 15 semi-automatic rifles greeted him and almost left him alone.
"Commander, are you okay?" After Fox Shisan got up from the ground, a guerrilla saw a few holes in his cotton-padded jacket and asked nervously,
"The bullets that can kill me haven't been made yet." Fox Shisan said with enthusiasm, and then frowned and shouted: "Call Xiang Yunyong to come see me. Where is Zhang Shugen? Is the boat ready?"
"retreat,."
"I didn't expect to be able to kill so many Japanese. With the devil's vengeance, they will definitely not give up." Fox Thirteen said, thinking to himself: I don't know how many people will be able to escape in the end.
Fox Thirteen's judgment was very accurate. With the sinking of two light cruisers and the loss of more than one regiment, even if Nishio Juzo realized that Jiang Xinzhou was just a bait to slow down their attack speed, he could only bite the bullet and fight on. Otherwise, we won’t be able to explain it to our superiors or our subordinates.
With the support of naval guns, dozens of Japanese soldiers trembled and rushed onto the river beach. Fox Shisan immediately organized a counterattack, and finally terminated the Japanese attack at double the cost.
The Japanese army's continuous bombardment caused heavy casualties to the guerrillas. There were now less than 400 people left in the team of more than a thousand people. Xiang Yunyong ran back to Fox Shisan and suggested that he lead the team to retreat without waiting for him to speak. , led his own people to stop the Japs: "Commander, leave quickly before the Japs blockade Jiajiang. The Japs are trying their best."
Jiangxinzhou is surrounded by water. If no one stays to contain the Japanese army, then retreating by boat is equivalent to selling your back to the Japanese warships. By the same token, those who stay will definitely not be able to escape. Fox Shisan is pressing heavily on Yun Yong’s shoulders. He patted him, then slowly glanced at the remaining team members, and said with hot eyes: "I won't talk nonsense. Our Santai guerrilla column will teach the little devil a profound lesson even if we die, brothers." , I swear, I will take revenge on you."
Hu Shisan led a team of less than 300 people and ran resolutely to the bank of Jiajiang River. Xiang Yunyong watched them leave, turned his head and said loudly: "Brothers, fight to the death."
"Death." Everyone responded loudly, without any hesitation in facing death.
