Maehara has invested a lot of effort in the 10th Regiment. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the 10th Regiment is in the Imperial Army system. Even if it is not ranked in the top three, it will definitely be in the top five. The 10th Regiment with such a strong combat effectiveness, Facing a student soldier with only one-fifth of his own strength, why did he suddenly become like a rookie who had just joined the army and seemed to be incapable of fighting? Five thousand people fought a thousand people, and they still had the advantage of weapons. , although he consciously slowed down the attack pace in order to lure the enemy, but with this advantage in strength and the battle only lasting about forty minutes, how could his side have suffered such heavy casualties? If his side had not succeeded in the sneak attack, If it hadn't been for the previous mortar salvo, if there were an army of cadets on the opposite side that were equal to his own in number... He thought like this and suddenly shuddered.
Regardless of morale or fighting will, these are closely related to physical strength and battlefield situation. After about forty minutes of fighting, the physical strength of the officers and soldiers on both sides of the war was greatly exhausted. The battle lasted for about forty minutes, and the 10th Regiment About a brigade of Japanese soldiers died, and the number of more than a thousand soldiers left on the student army was reduced by more than half. Now, there are only more than 400 students who are still fighting beside Qian Shuanglin.
Nearly seven hundred soldiers fell in a pool of blood. Their blood dyed the river red, and their fighting will to fight to the death greatly shocked the Japanese army.
The excitement brought by the mortar salvos had faded away with time and sweat. When the little Japs suddenly discovered that every step forward would cost them blood, their feet became as heavy as if they were shackled. stand up,
It is contrary to common sense. If the battle damage exceeds 30%, the whole army will be defeated. Even if the cannon is fired here, the opposite side will run away. Obviously, one's own side can annihilate all the students with just one charge, but , about fifty meters away from the opponent's simple position, but they couldn't rush through.
Many Japanese soldiers were aware of this problem. They wanted to respond to the officers' call and annihilate the cadets on the opposite side in one go. However, they were unable to take a step forward.
In fact, it is not impossible to break through. As long as Maehara is willing to pay huge casualties, well, at most a thousand more people will die, they will definitely be able to completely kill the remaining cadets. However, let alone the morale of the 10th Regiment is exhausted. Maehara himself doesn't have that courage. Besides, this battle is just to lure the enemy, so it would be unwise to fight to the death.
The more than 400 surviving cadets are overstretching their physical strength at this moment, and fighting with most of their bodies soaked in the water, which increases their physical energy consumption. At this moment, the reason why they can still maintain high spirits amidst the Japanese offensive is that His fighting spirit is entirely due to the influence of the commander Qian Shuanglin. He gritted his teeth and persisted with a little passion in his heart. The power of role models is infinite. Qian Shuanglin may not be a commander with excellent commanding skills. His personal ethics There are also many shortcomings in the book, but at least he has always done a good job in taking the lead.
In front of the position, the corpses of the Japanese have been laid out on a layer, but the Japanese seem to be endless, and they are still rushing towards them.
Qian Shuanglin's voice was hoarse from shouting, and his legs finally gave out and he was lying on the sand. However, his gun kept firing, which gave the soldiers nearby a lot more confidence.
The battle is getting harder and harder, but it is worth it. Many soldiers think so in their hearts. In the short spare time of the battle, they share the remaining cigarettes on their bodies and exchange numbers of enemy kills. They kill more enemies than the other party. Most of them would say triumphantly: "Even if I die now, it's worth it."
At this moment, death is no longer scary in the minds of the soldiers. The reason why they regret it is because there are still a large number of Japanese who have not had time to kill.
"I may have to hang here. I've lost my mother. That's enough. I've killed ten Japs. Ten Japs are at least second-class. Hehe, I'm a bandit. I've done a lot of bad things. I'm dead." It's worth being named a combat hero." Qian Shuanglin thought as he changed the magazine, his face was pulsing, but his eyes were fixed on a Japanese officer not far ahead, and then he whispered to himself: " Kill another Japs officer, and this time it will be complete. Li Hanhun, your grandson, if you let me live, I will pay you ten Japs in return. It is worth it."
Qian Shuanglin and the others were all focused on the battlefield and the Japanese, and they did not notice the whereabouts of Gao Yongxiang and the others.
It's dark and windy at night, just when it's time to kill someone,
When intensive gunfire suddenly came from behind, Maehara Sungmin turned around blankly, and was stunned by the scene in front of him. Under the reflection of several exploding fireballs, the 10th Regiment's trailing troops were being massacred.
Absolute massacre, hundreds of Wei Qing-style assault rifles and submachine guns fired at close range, and the target had its back to you. In this case, it was an untrained person. As long as his hands were strong enough, he could stabilize If you can handle a gun, it will be easy to gain one or two victories.
A large group of Japanese troops behind them were instantly knocked down by this sudden blow, no less than two hundred of them.
Wei Qing assault rifles, especially submachine guns, are most suitable for short-range combat. When the shooting distance is within 150 meters, the efficiency of these two firearms will be maximized.
It's so pitiful that in the Japanese army's infantry drill, this kind of close combat requires fighting with bayonets. What's funny is that when some Japanese soldiers turn around and instinctively withdraw their bullets, they still want to use bushido. , the trainees who rushed towards them didn’t even blink. With just a click of the gun, these Japanese soldiers fell down immediately.
On the battlefield, those who stick to the rules will be doomed to miss victory.
Sneak attack is a very exciting way of combat. Watching the enemy being ravaged by one's own side when caught off guard, the pleasure is no less than the moment of making piston movements in bed and raising a gun to shoot. Just forty minutes ago, when the 10th Regiment When the devils enjoyed this pleasure, did they ever think that retribution would come so quickly?
"Tick tick." The charge horn sounded. The long-lost charge horn. The students stationed on the river beach had almost forgotten this sound. However, at this moment, their tired bodies and minds were suddenly infused with a steady stream of energy. power,
"Regiment, reinforcements, our reinforcements." Next to Qian Shuanglin, a company commander named Huang Deyu shouted loudly. The next moment, his voice became choked, and tears of excitement shed on his face.
As an officer, his starting point was different from that of the soldiers. When it was confirmed that the troops were attacked or even surrounded and were in a desperate situation, although he thought of his comrades on the other side, he did not dare to think that they would come to rescue him. As a student, Ye Zhao The commander of the Second Division needs to consider the overall situation when making any decision. When the war situation is obviously unfavorable to his own side and sending all the troops cannot save the defeat, relying on the Yangtze River to defend is the right choice.
Huang Deyu was already prepared to die in battle, and even considered how to die "cost-effectively". However, reinforcements fell from the sky. They fell from the sky. Otherwise, how could they explain that they suddenly appeared behind the enemy?
