Gui Mingxun looked at his watch and said to him: "Wait ten minutes. If it doesn't work, I'll let you go."
Tan Langxing nodded helplessly,
Xue Yongtai felt that he was going crazy. It was not impossible to break into the town in fourteen minutes, but how much sacrifice would it take? But if he was asked to give up, he was really unwilling to do so. He suddenly found that he couldn't see where he was going. Mingxun, this new division commander who is directly from the Xuebing Army used to be very talkative and like a buddy. Why didn't you notice that he turned into a devil when he went to the battlefield? He disgraced his mother and his feelings were not his. my brothers,
The number of machine guns at the entrance of the town has increased to six, including three heavy machine guns, plus a large number of 38 guns. Let alone attacking at this time, as long as you stand up, you will be killed. What should I do? ,
Time passed very fast, Xue Yongtai's heartbeat accelerated. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the two walls that were spitting out flames from time to time. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He quickly put the microphone to his mouth, pressed the send button, and spoke loudly. Calling: "Chicken, chicken, I am a hen."
"Little chicken received it." "Big chicken received." Chen Zeyong, deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, was the first to respond to the call, followed by the correspondent of the second battalion.
According to regulations, as long as the troops leave the military camp, they must change their telecommunication code names every day. Today's code name was set by Xue Yongtai. The correspondent of the third battalion was killed. Battalion Commander Guo Fengxian held the walkie-talkie next to him and heard Xue Yongtai's call. He cursed secretly in his heart: "Ignore your mother, you can even think of such a code name, bah bah." After secretly spitting twice, he responded angrily: "I got it, old chicken."
Normally, Chen Zeyong and others would immediately burst into laughter at this time, but now, everyone is not in the mood to joke.
Xue Yongtai shouted: "Get the smoke bombs ready for me. I will count one, two, three, and everyone will fire."
The three chickens turned around and issued orders, asking the one with the smoke bomb to change into a smoke bomb, and then reported to Xue Yongtai: Hen, the little chickens are ready, the old chickens are ready...
"Very good, follow my command, one, two, three, shoot."
"Hit." "Shoot." "Fire."
Dozens of smoke grenades flew towards the Japanese position at the entrance of the town through grenade launchers, and soon exploded, and then the smoke raged.
The Japanese panicked. Many Japanese subconsciously thought they were poison gas bombs. One Japanese screamed loudly: "Ba Ge, poison gas bombs, vicious Chinese people." They began to put on gas masks in a hurry.
Someone else shouted: "Warriors of the Imperial Army, rush forward and fight the Chinese pigs." A dozen Japanese soldiers responded to his call and jumped out of the wall fortifications.
Kameda Nobuyuki was also panicked at first, but after all, he had more experience. After taking two puffs, he realized that this was just an ordinary smoke bomb used for cover. He stood up and shouted: "Don't panic, it's just an ordinary smoke bomb. Hold your position, the Chinese are about to attack."
Seeing that the smoke completely enveloped the Japanese position and was drifting towards the first battalion position, Xue Yongtai stood up and shouted: "Brothers, throw away his mother." Then, he took the lead and rushed forward.
A somewhat familiar roar sounded, and the Guangdong officers and soldiers became particularly excited as if they had taken opium. They shouted in unison: "Shame on his mother." Several veterans probably recalled fighting in the Fourth Iron Army. Day, after standing up, he did not rush to charge. Instead, he tore his shirt open and poked his chest. Then he shouted, "Throw away his mother" and rushed forward.
"Ta-ta-ta." The machine gun roared wildly. Many soldiers who had just climbed up immediately cried out and fell down, but no one got down to avoid it. At this moment, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, the 702nd Regiment was aroused. The officers and soldiers would rush forward without hesitation. A few soldiers from the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company were closest to the entrance of the town. After taking two steps, they threw their grenades one after another into the impression of the Japanese firepower. They only heard the rumbling explosions. The Japanese army's firepower suddenly lost two points.
Without the field of vision, the threat of machine guns was immediately reduced to a minimum. Although several Japanese machine gunners tried their best to shoot, they were not as confident as before, as if they suddenly couldn't shoot anymore.
Xue Yongtai's voice was the loudest from beginning to end. He kept saying "throw his mother away" while issuing orders: "Don't shoot indiscriminately, use a big knife. Use a big knife and throw his mother away."
"Throw away his old mother." There was a cry of "throw away his old mother", and the Japanese army panicked.
Kameda assessed the situation and knew that the ensuing melee was destined to be an unusual melee. He shouted: "Retract the bullets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat."
"Hai."
"Don't panic, machine gunner, just shoot outside."
"Hai."
After paying the price of nearly a hundred men again, the Second Regiment finally entered the town. The next battle was dominated by cold weapons. The wind today was very light and blowing slowly, which made it difficult for the smoke to dissipate. Both sides had no vision, so in order not to accidentally injure their comrades, the rational ones chose hand-to-hand combat.
Xue Yongtai rushed so fast that unknowingly he rushed into the middle of four or five Japs. He shouted: "Ignore your mother." He waved a large blade with both hands and cut off a Japs including his head and left shoulder with one blow. , "Eight grids." A Japanese soldier yelled and took the opportunity to stab him with his gun. He couldn't dodge and was stabbed in the left abdomen. The handle of the knife hit the Japs face, turning his face into red and white bloody tofu.
Another Japs stabbed him with a gun. Xue Yongtai saw that he was not immune and was cursing, "Ignore your mother." Two gunshots rang out. The Japs were shot twice in the heart and fell to the ground.
The Japanese whose head was smashed by Xue Yongtai fell to the ground and dragged out the spear thorn. Xue Yongtai's wound immediately gushed out with blood.
There were two more Japs who realized that this was a high-ranking official. They were planning to come over to take credit, but they were surrounded by several soldiers who were later killed. There was a burst of white light in Shandong. One of the two Japs had his head chopped off, and the other one was killed first. He was struck on the waist by a knife, and he screamed loudly and gracelessly in pain, and then his head was chopped off by another soldier with the same knife.
"Team leader, are you okay?" A soldier pulled out the first aid kit and started to stop Xue Yongtai's bleeding. Xue Yongtai's face turned pale in pain. Move, otherwise so many brothers wouldn't have died." As he said this, two lines of hot tears fell from his eyes.
The battle lasted less than ten minutes. Kameda saw that the situation was not good and resolutely chose to retreat. He led more than fifty Japanese soldiers to retreat into the Shimen Town military camp.
In a hard battle, more than 30 officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment fell and more than a hundred were injured. This made Xue Yongtai want to cry without tears. The total casualties of the Second Regiment were nearly 400, and the battle damage reached 40. %, we have lost the qualification to continue fighting when we have sufficient troops.
The troops of the 19th and 21st Brigades came up. Faced with the tragedy of the Second Regiment, Tan Langxing and others were secretly shocked and thought: Is this the true combat power of the Japanese army? With an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, Tan Langxing and others were secretly shocked. , actually caused such heavy casualties to the well-equipped Second Regiment. Seeing Tan Langxing, Xue Yongtai struggled to get up as if seeing a relative, and cried: "Brigade, you want to avenge your brothers." Then he saw Gui Mingxun, who didn't know where he got the strength from, broke away from his brother who was supporting him, rushed forward crazily, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Gui Mingxun, you thief, you give back to me more than 200 brothers." Destiny comes."
Tan Langxing hugged him and yelled in shock and anger: "Madman Xue, why are you so crazy? All the brothers who died in the war died at the hands of the Japanese. What does it have to do with the Master?"
Gui Mingxun first said to Tan Langxing: "Old Tan, you quickly lead people to encircle and eliminate the remaining enemies. Pay attention to sending more reconnaissance troops and be careful of Japanese reinforcements." Then he inspected everyone in the second regiment and said in a deep voice: "Everyone You all have opinions about me, don’t you think that I don’t care about human life because I have tanks and artillery, right? I just want to ask you one thing, is our student army unable to fight without tanks and artillery? Your enemies don’t have anything, they don’t have it. Tanks, artillery, and their mortars are only a few, much less than yours, but look at you, you are beaten like this, Xue Yongtai, don't look at me unconvinced, I will do my best today Criticizing you, haven't you always claimed to be an old member of the Iron Fourth Army and are famous for fighting tough battles? Now, fighting requires the use of the brain. You had thought earlier that using smoke bombs would cause such heavy casualties." He said. The more he spoke, the more severe he became,
Xue Yongtai was helped by someone and stood there, shaking with anger.
Lu Youfu couldn't stand it any longer, so he came over to smooth things over and said, "Well, the battle is not over yet. Even the summary will have to wait until the battle is over. Mingxun, let the brothers of the second regiment go down and rest." Then he said to him again. Zhang Hairen, the battalion commander of the division's health battalion, said: "Those who need surgery now, please rush to rescue. The 21st Brigade will be responsible for protecting you."
Zhang Hairen responded and led the stretcher team to find the seriously injured patient in urgent need of surgery.
The 701st and 703rd regiments of the 19th Xuexue Brigade, as well as the tank battalion and the towed artillery battalion were taken away by Tan Langxing. The 21st Xuexue Brigade drove over in sequence under the command of the brigade commander Chen Erbing. They lined up on the left side of the 2nd Regiment. , the brigade medical team also came to help treat the wounded. Chen Erbing and Xue Yongtai were old acquaintances. Seeing blood still oozing out of his abdomen, he said: "Old Xue, how did it happen like this? Health worker, hurry up and help Xue Yongtai." Long bandage again."
"Go away." Xue Yongtai yelled at a female nurse who was about to rebandage him. The female nurse was so frightened that she cried. Xue Yongtai pointed at Gui Mingxun and shouted: "I don't care what you say, this time The reason why so many people in our regiment died is your division commander's responsibility. Damn it, what the hell is going on? We can obviously use artillery to bombard us and crush us with tanks, but we let our brothers sacrifice their lives to do it. I don't accept it. "
Xue Yongtai's words aroused the common hatred among the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment. Everyone saw that many of their comrades who had been together day and night closed their eyes forever. The sadness in their hearts was something that others could not understand. They slowly walked to Xue Yongtai's side and stared. Gui Mingxun shouted: "We are not convinced."
The development of the situation was out of control, and Lu Youfu became anxious. He thought of Cardinal Ge, the political director who was in the hospital, and couldn't help sighing that he was ill at the wrong time. He looked at Gui Mingxun with some worry, worried about this young leader. The official will become angry and lose his mind.
Gui Mingxun was actually just as sad, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. From a general point of view, he resolutely carried out Mohide's order. From a personal perspective, he felt that today's sacrifice It was worth it, because it was the final explosion of the Second Regiment that allowed him to see the shadow of the Iron Fourth Army in the past. At this time, how much he wanted to shout: The Iron Fourth Army is back, but the cruel reality made him unable to be happy. He shouted these words vividly. Facing the hostile and challenging looks of hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment, he tried his best to calm down and said: "You may not accept it, you can even go to the Military Justice Department to sue me, but I still insist on what I have done before. The judge, Xue Yongtai." He suddenly shouted,
Xue Yongtai stood up instinctively and shouted. Then he woke up with blush on his face. He felt that he had been fooled.
Gui Mingxun was very satisfied with his reaction. In fact, this was exactly the step he had thought of with great effort. This step required Xue Yongtai's cooperation. Fortunately, he was very cooperative. Otherwise, he would really not be able to get off the stage today. He didn't give Xue Yongtai a chance to attack again, and said seriously: "The Second Regiment suffered so many casualties today, no matter who is responsible, but one thing I hope you will remember is that your final performance today is different from your previous performance. They are two completely different people. Why is this happening? I hope you will summarize it well when you go back. This is not to ask you to write a test, but to summarize your experience. I just want to mention one thing. Your performance today was weak first and then strong. Really Is it because of the effectiveness of smoke grenades? Xue Yongtai, I hope you will submit a written report to the division headquarters. If it is reasonable and convincing, I will promote it to the entire division. Okay, let’s go to the little soldiers. Please apologize. A man actually yelled at a young girl. You are not afraid of being embarrassed if you tell her. I am ashamed of it." After saying this, he glanced at all the officers and soldiers of the second regiment again and found that many people were starting to be startled. They had no trace of what they had just said. With such momentum, Xue Yongtai glanced at the female nurse with an embarrassed look on his face. He relaxed and turned around to leave.
Fierce gunfire rang out again in the town. This time, the 1st and 3rd regiments were at war with the Kimura Brigade. The two sides first exchanged fire with their respective reconnaissance troops, soldiers from a class on the Xuebing Army side, and the Japs on the other side. A small group of Japanese soldiers occupied both ends of a street and fought fiercely. Then, Tan Langxing and Kameda each sent half of their troops from another street to outflank the other side's retreat. As a result, these two armies When they fought again, the scale of the battle suddenly expanded.
At this time, the leading tank battalion of the 20th School Brigade led by Mohide had successfully captured Changtai, which meant that Mohide could then outflank the Kameda brigade's retreat without any scruples. ,
