530. The bloody battle of Teng County
The company in front not far from the gap in the city wall of Tengxian County, which was bombed by the Japanese army, was mainly machine guns, and eight or nine light machine guns suddenly all opened fire, and dense bullets poured into the gap in the city wall.
And the two companies on both sides of the gap mainly threw grenades, and hundreds of grenades were thrown into them at one time.
The explosion formed by hundreds of grenades, in the narrow gap, suddenly formed an airtight barrage, plus the strafing of frontal machine gun shells.
There were about a few dozen people in the vanguard of the devils who rushed into the gap, and without even making a sound, they were all beaten into a sieve, and then through the explosive air flow of the grenades, many corpses were blown up in the air for a long time and torn to pieces.
When the more than 100 devils in the back saw it, they were so frightened that they immediately retreated.
If the gap in the city wall of Tengxian County is like a bloody wound, then the devil is like a bloodthirsty locust, facing this wound, he is reluctant to give up, and launches several attacks in a row.
He Chaoxing sometimes really can't figure out why the devil is desperate for this, attacking desperately in a foreign land, why?
If they don't fight China, life is much better than the Chinese. And the Chinese, who already have a difficult life, are now being made by the Japanese who are living a good life, and they can't even live a hard life.
If you're barefoot and don't afraid to wear shoes, come on!
Seeing these devils, bombarding again and again, increasing the "dose", 150 heavy artillery, as soon as it came down, blew out a big hole in the city wall, and even the ground had to shake three times, and the gap in the original city wall was bombarded bigger and bigger.
At the same time, the extension of the artillery fire became deeper and more violent, and the first company of the first battalion, which was originally arranged directly behind the gap, was now also blown up by the shells, and lost many brothers.
On the other hand, the second and third companies on both sides did not suffer much losses, mainly because some people were injured by the shells that came in from the devil's 92 rifle cannon as a curved artillery.
The devils are now getting closer and closer to the coordination of the infantry artillery, it was 400 meters before, and now it has entered the danger area of 300 meters, and some devils have even been blown down by their own shells.
The entire Tengxian city was shrouded in gunfire smoke and dust, and it did not disperse for a long time, and the soldiers of the first battalion of the defending army, although they were blown to ashes, still held their positions.
The villagers of Teng County were also strong enough, and they carried ammunition in groups, especially machine gun shells and grenades, in boxes.
After returning home, they became a stretcher team, sending the wounded soldiers to the temporary infirmary behind them one by one, and when they arrived at the meal, they braved the artillery fire to bring food, even if some fellow villagers were injured because of this, they were not afraid.
He Chaoxing couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings, in the past, the domestic warlords were fighting, and the common people were hiding from afar, and they were afraid when they saw the soldiers, but now they are so united in the army and the people, and they really respond to the old saying: the elbow will not turn out.
But now, if this city can't be defended, then these lovely fellows will be miserable, and the devils will definitely slaughter the city, He Chaoxing, who saw the Nanjing Massacre, couldn't help but be deeply worried. There's no way, let's fight, fight to that.
Every time the devil attacked, he thought that the defenders were blown up and there were few people left, but every time when the devil entered the gap, there was a mound of dirt, a pile of bricks, or even a pile of corpses.
There will be people like wild dogs who will crawl out, shoot back, and throw grenades.
The devil hates the grenades of the Chinese soldiers the most, this thing is a large piece as soon as it comes, and it doesn't have time to hide, so it explodes all over the ground, and a large area is blown up, even if it is a skirmish formation, it still can't avoid being blown up like a dog.
What's more, if they rush into the gap, the troops will naturally shrink together, or squeeze together, and they will become the best target for Chinese grenades.
From morning to about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army launched five consecutive attacks on the Dongguan gap, but they were all repulsed by the defenders, and the dead and wounded were everywhere.
However, the defenders also suffered a lot of casualties, and three reserves were transferred from the city to replenish, and one platoon of He Chaoxing was beaten to only two squads.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army organized the sixth assault, and the assault force was changed to three echelons to carry out a wave attack, and at the same time, it also extended its firepower to the east gate and the city to carry out blocking and firing to prevent the reinforcement of troops in the city.
The crazy devil is also going to fight a war of attrition with the Chinese army, using human lives to fight for human lives, and fighting the defenders of the gap in the city wall, and then the echelon can attack it.
The soldiers of the first battalion of the 727th Regiment now have no choice, and the retreat is cut off by the devil's artillery fire, so they can only fight with the devil.
Everyone ran out of grenades, and when they ran out of bullets, they threw bricks and stones, and the teams of several waves behind the devils, as soon as they saw that the defenders had started throwing bricks, there must be no ammunition, and they rushed in one swarm.
He Chaoxing took the three platoons of less than two squads, and together with everyone, he pulled out a big knife and went up to fight.
The devils poured into the breach of the embankment like a tidal wave, and the Chinese army threw themselves into the gap like piles of sandbags, trying to plug the breach.
In this battle, it was only dark, and the devil's cannon could only extend into the city, but the smoke and dust brought by the bombardment covered the sky and the sun, and it was already nearly dusk, and the remnants of the winter sun were like blood, staining the western sky.
And the gap in the Dongguan city wall in Teng County is also bleeding, and the blood of the Chinese and the Japanese, like the bleeding of the body of this city wall, slowly soaked the entire gap, the wound of the entire city wall.
At the beginning, the Sichuan army could still use Sichuan dialect to scold and scold, melon skin, hammers, etc., but in the back, more and more people died, and those who did not die did not have the strength to shout.
In the hand-to-hand combat field, only the clanging sound of knives and guns colliding, the popping sound of knives and guns entering the flesh, and the howl of the wounded soldier who was seriously injured and fell to the ground, but the howl was shouted not long after, and he was killed by someone mending the knife after a while.
Can't fall to the ground, don't fall to the ground, He Chaoxing is exhausted, scarred all over, he can't even lift the big knife, his feet are stepping on the thick and slippery plasma and corpse, and he keeps telling himself that he can't fall to the ground, hold on.
The devil also fought to the end of the crossbow, both sides were exhausted and fighting, and they were struggling to hold on for the last five minutes, at this time, a group of people suddenly killed in the city, it was the Chinese soldiers.
The defenders, who were about to be defeated, were immediately excited as if they had been beaten, and the exhausted devils were suddenly deflated.
This group of people is the guard company of the brigade headquarters, who has just rushed over from the west gate, and it was also dark over there just now, and they have just repelled the devils, and now they will immediately tear down the west wall to make up for the east wall.
The devil was rushed by this group of new forces, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and he retreated with a bang, and the defenders chased and killed to the gap, and they didn't dare to continue to chase anymore, so they could only watch the devil slip away.
It's a pity that all the bullets have been exhausted, otherwise if you go down now, you will definitely be able to kill many devils.
Lao He slapped the city wall bricks fiercely, but it's a pity.
