The battle that took place in Guodaigou lasted only more than an hour, but it dealt a huge blow to the Japanese army. Not to mention the Yutu Brigade, which was the vanguard, and the full force of more than a thousand people,
In the end, only more than a hundred people were able to escape. Including Major Uto Takehiko, more than seven hundred Japanese were killed on the spot, and more than two hundred people were abandoned in the bamboo sea. They eventually died because of their injuries and lack of timely treatment.
Compared with the Japanese army, the casualties of the 13th Brigade were much lighter, with only more than 300 soldiers sacrificed.
While the fierce fighting was going on in the bamboo sea in Guodaigou, under Xiuqiao, with the bridge as the boundary, a battle of annihilation against the Tiangu and Guozaki detachments was also going on.
Wang Changyun was a "desperate" through and through, so he naturally would not refuse the invitation from Zhang Changsheng and Niu Yide, because there was a large Japanese army on the other side of the bridge watching with eagerness, and he did not dare to take all the honorable troops of the entire regiment out of the blue.
The detachments of Tiangu and Kunizaki were thrown in, but they still integrated the strength of a battalion into the battle.
The battle started without any warning. Naojiro Amaya had just breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking that this should be a close call. Suddenly, the sound of "empty" mortars sounded, followed by the harsh sound of grenades breaking through the air.
The sound penetrated his ears and stimulated his auditory nerves.
At that time, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers from Amaya Detachment and Kunizaki Detachment had been compressed into an extremely narrow area. Amaya Naojiro's temporary headquarters was only about fifty meters away from the front line. He only heard someone shouting loudly in front:
"The Chinese started to attack again." Then in the "rumbling" explosion, he saw the green cadet officers and soldiers rushing up like a tide,
"The Chinese are trying their best." He immediately realized something was wrong, then grabbed the pistol beside him and ran forward. However, this time the attack came not only from the front, but also from the direction where they had just launched the attack.
, there were also a large number of Xuebingjun soldiers who rushed up with shouts,
"These Chinese people are crazy. Aren't they afraid that the 18th Division will outflank them from behind?" A staff officer began to question. However, after witnessing the battlefield at Xiuqiao, the attacking troops of the 18th Division were still suppressed on the bridge and unable to advance half way.
Step, the staff officer's face turned pale, and he said to himself: It seems that this time the jade is really going to be broken.
The distance between the two sides is too close, and a charge of five minutes can break into the opponent's position. Of course, if they are not hit by bullets,
This was completely a war of attrition. With the sound of gunfire and explosions, soldiers from both sides fell down from time to time. Behind them, more people came up and fired at each other again, and physical contact began to occur.
After hand-to-hand combat, the Amaya detachment and the Kunisaki detachment experienced several days of continuous fighting, and ammunition was no longer sufficient. It was precisely with this in mind that Amaya Naojiro issued a countercharge order minutes after the battle began, "
Warriors of the Empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's vision of a Greater East Asia, use our bayonets to bring down the cowardly Chinans." Amaya Naojiro encouraged the morale of the troops. After shooting all the bullets in the guns with several consecutive shots, he pulled out his command knife and
He ran towards the front line,
On the opposite side, Zhang Changsheng and Niu Yide also rushed to the front of the team. The two of them changed into Weiqing submachine guns at the same time. While they were shooting at the Japanese army, they shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be stingy with bullets, give me a hard time."
Fight hard." Soon, some soldiers had used up all the bullets in their guns. At this time, they were less than ten meters away from the Japanese army at the front. It was obviously unwise to change the magazine at such a distance.
, So, based on their usual training, they swung the guns behind their backs one after another, then pulled out the big knives on their backs and rushed towards the Japanese who rushed up with shining bayonets.
Wang Changyun was worried that the 18th Division would take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, so he stayed at the front line of the sniper position. At this time, after repelling another Japanese attack, he took out his binoculars and looked at the battlefield behind him, and saw a bright broadsword. There was also a bayonet fight in the movie, and I felt so excited that I couldn't help but yell: "Grandma, I've lost a lot this time, hand-to-hand combat, I like it best, the ball, I actually missed it, hey, the one with the command knife It must be Naojiro Amaya, grandma, it would be great if I could fight against him. Didn’t the little devil advocate some bushido? I really want to see it..." He was chattering endlessly, and Todai moved over (his buttocks The enemy has failed again, and now we have no choice but to move it), and said anxiously: "Boss, the situation is not good. The little devil's river-crossing troops bypassed the minefield. It seems that they want to copy Zhang Changsheng's flank or... The way out, what to do."
"Yeah." Wang Changyun quickly adjusted his perspective, and sure enough he saw two groups of sneaky Japanese troops in the distance. This time, he became anxious and shouted: "Ball, Zhang Changsheng and the others have thrown all their troops in. This is It's no longer possible to organize a force defense. No, pass my order and leave a platoon here to keep an eye on it. The others will follow me to fight that old devil in Tiangu. Grandma, we must resolve the battle as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble. .”
"yes."
The soldiers of a platoon left behind quickly learned their mission. The other soldiers, led by Wang Changyun, packed up and ran towards the battlefield behind them.
Across the bridge, the Japanese army apparently discovered the new changes in the Wang Changyun Regiment. So, under the cover of heavy weapons fire, more Japanese troops began to attack the bridgehead position of the 604th Regiment.
In the platoon left by Wang Changyun, more than half of its original soldiers have been killed in the battle. Just because the platoon leader Ge Zhuang did not die, the soldiers transferred from other squads and platoons are still under his control.
"Platoon leader Ge, the little Japs are coming up, there are so many of them." A deputy platoon leader from another platoon said to Ge Zhuang,
Ge Zhuang nodded, and while loading bullets into the magazine, he said loudly: "Brothers, the regiment has entrusted us with this glorious mission. Are you confident that we can complete it?"
No one spoke at first. He raised his eyebrows and looked sideways. The officers and soldiers in his platoon immediately shouted: "Yes." Then everyone shouted together: "We have confidence."
At this time, Ge Zhuang had already filled a magazine. He replaced it with an empty magazine and continued to press it. He said: "Brothers, the key depends on whether we can destroy the gang of Japanese who have done evil in Zhenjiang today." Ours, as long as we withstand the Japanese army on the other side of the bridge, those Japanese will all go to hell. Hey, if they dare to act recklessly on our Chinese land, we will let them go to our King of Hell to have a taste. There's nothing scary about the taste of the frying pan, little devils. Have you noticed? These guys are generally shorter than us. A bunch of dwarf pigs still want to take advantage of us in China. Hey, let's give them a taste of the power. Listen up. Put the enemy closer before attacking, and prepare more grenades..."
Obviously, Ge Zhuang is a sharp talker. After his long speech, not to mention whether it eased the tension of the soldiers, he controlled the rhythm of the battle very well and put the Japanese at a distance of about thirty meters. , he shouted loudly: "Hit." Then he counted "one, two, three" and threw out a grenade. Then he picked up the Wei Qing assault rifle and pulled the trigger wildly.
Obviously, Ushijima Sadao is very concerned about the survival of Tenya and Kunisaki detachment, so this wave of attacks is a continuous one-time investment of troops. More than three brigades of Japanese soldiers are densely packed towards Shixiahide Bridge, which makes The Japs rushing in front had no room for maneuver at all, and even if they wanted to lie on the ground and shoot, it was impossible. Therefore, the damage caused to the Japanese army by the soldiers of Gezhuang's platoon by throwing grenades together was considerable. , amidst the "rumbling" explosion, swarms of Japanese fell to the ground, and many of them were even blown directly into the sky.
After the grenades, came the dense bullets. Wang Changyun left a total of ten machine guns for Gezhuang and the others, including a Maxim. The gunshots sounded "tat-tat-tat", and the Japanese were like rice after autumn. Falling down, a chain of bullets from Maxim actually opened a "human ditch" in the Japanese army that was more than thirty meters deep and about five meters wide.
Tu Dai originally insisted on staying, but he couldn't resist Wang Changyun, and was carried to the battlefield by soldiers from the guard platoon. He was the only person in the charge team who had the mood and time to observe the battle behind him, and took in everything that happened at the bridge. He was so excited that he shouted: "Grandma, this is a massacre. This boy Gezhuang did a good job."
At this time, Wang Changyun rushed five meters in front of him, and shot a Japanese soldier who was about to stab a soldier who fell on the ground with a bayonet. He took the time to look back, and he was shocked and at the same time. Feeling a bit sad, he said: "Ushijima, that old devil is really trying his best. Hey, it seems that Gezhuang and the others are going to reveal where they are. Damn it, brothers, give me a hard beating. No one will be spared."
His words were equivalent to an order not to take prisoners. Of course, with the current momentum of the Japanese army, it would be quite difficult to capture them. Even if the Japanese were seriously injured and fell to the ground and could not move, they still thought about killing the cadets, officers and soldiers all the time. , sprinting all the way, the officers and soldiers of the 604th Regiment have killed a whole squad of seriously injured Japanese.
The remnants of the Amaya and Kunizaki detachments together only had over a thousand Japs. In the previous shelling, at least a hundred more were killed. Both sides fired at each other, and no less than two hundred fell. When the two sides came into close combat, because the soldiers of the Xuebing Army He was extremely unruly and continued to shoot with his rifle. He did not start fighting with his bayonet until all the bullets were exhausted, thus causing greater damage to the little Japs. More than three hundred Japs fell to the ground at the moment before the two sides came into physical contact.
As for the Xuebing Army, it was the nearly 100 machine guns of the Little Japanese that caused them the greatest casualties. As the attacker, the charging soldiers gave the enemy too big a target, and the formation was too dense. Therefore, In a short charging distance of less than two hundred meters, more than 400 soldiers fell under the Japs' machine guns. When the two sides entered into short-range shooting or hand-to-hand combat, the Japs' machine guns lost their effect. At this time , the battle began to heat up,
The sword technique passed down from the 29th Army by the Xuebing Army once again showed its power, but this time it was mainly used by officers and soldiers from Guangdong and Fujian.
A simple ups and downs, a Japs head fell to the ground, this is compared to those who have already mastered the essence of sword skills, after all, the Japs are not papery, and the previous sprint consumed a lot of physical strength of the soldiers of the Xuebing Army. Therefore, in the battle with the Japanese, the Xuebing Army also suffered huge casualties.
There is no doubt that this will be a war of attrition,
