Chapter 13: Deathmatch
Zhang Wei pulled out the bloody bayonet, and the entire company was strangled with the Japanese army, and most of the officers and soldiers in a platoon were fighting with the Japanese army in groups according to Zhang Wei's training before the war.
He Kun held the twenty rings with a support in his left hand, and a shot hit the thigh of a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier who lost his balance immediately fell to the ground, and the sapper shovel in his right hand suddenly slammed into the head of the Japanese soldier, and his brain flowed to the ground.
"Die!" He Kun roared angrily, and then went to find the next opponent.
Zhang Wei picked up his rifle and shot a Japanese soldier who wanted to sneak attack Wu Qian, the deputy of the second squad. Due to the close distance, the bullet went straight through the chest of the Japanese soldier and plunged into the cement bag on the ground. Wu Qian was leading two soldiers and two Japanese soldiers around, but he didn't think that someone would sneak attack behind, just this distraction, a Japanese soldier stabbed over with a bayonet, and a soldier hurriedly blocked in front of Wu Qian, which was able to block this stab. Wu Qian went up and stabbed his heart coldly.
Another Japanese soldier also rushed over, and another corporal next to Wu Qian rose up in response, holding Mauser and the Japanese soldier to hedge and stab, but unfortunately, the Japanese soldier was a chess player, and the slender 38 guns smashed into the Mauser rifle, and the blade pierced the corporal's chest.
The corporal knew that he was finished, and his mouth howled unwillingly, and when he was in the most desperate time, and when he was the most crazy, the corporal threw away his rifle and clutched the rifle stuck in his chest, and the shouting became more and more violent, as if reminding his comrades beside him. Wu Qian and another soldier rushed over, two rifles, two bayonets, the corporal died, and the Japanese soldier was also stabbed to death with two bayonets.
The war continued on this high ground, rifles, bayonets, light machine guns and even heavy machine gun racks and cooling water tanks became weapons of desperate fighting, the officers and soldiers of the fourth company and the Japanese army engaged in desperate struggles, and finally, the company commander Wu Zhong also rushed over with a group of people, followed by people, some with rifles, and some with mortar shells and mortar floors.
Zhang Wei and the second platoon commander Qiu Wei were back to back, and the two Japanese soldiers looked at the two Chinese officers with fierce eyes, kill! Zhang Qiu and the two rushed towards the Japanese soldiers in the opposite direction, Zhang Wei didn't want to play with the Japanese alone, he didn't want to rub it, he kicked on the 38 shots, the whole person hit the past, the Japanese soldiers were thrown to the ground, Zhang Wei kicked twice, the rifle nailed him to the ground at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, the Japanese soldiers only twitched a few times, and then there was no movement.
Qiu Wei's situation is not good, the Japanese soldier blocked his first stab, and rode on Qiu Wei's body in turn, the bright tip of the knife pierced Qiu Wei's chest, and before Zhang Wei rushed over, a 7.63 mm Mauser pistol bullet pierced the head of the Japanese soldier, Wu Zhong rushed over with blood on his face and helped Qiu Wei up.
The three of them got together.
"Company commander, how are the other companies?" Zhang Wei asked worriedly. "It's messed up, the whole fucking hangs together, and there is a fight on the battalion headquarters, I heard that Camp Commander Sun was injured, and the battalion attached to it was also killed." Wu Zhong wiped his face and looked at the increasing number of Japanese troops and the dwindling number of national troops.
"Then what should I do, I can't wait for death," Qiu Wei asked the most critical question.
The current situation is that more and more Japanese troops are attacking the high ground, and the soldiers of the fourth company are dying less and less, and it is only a matter of time before the position is lost, but to retreat, without an order, is to flee from the battle; If they don't withdraw, these people will only have a dead end, and the greatest value is nothing more than killing a few more Japanese soldiers. Wu Zhong didn't have a clear decision now, and the embarrassing and dilemma made the company commander stomp his feet.
Wu Zhong looked at Zhang Wei at this time: "You kid has a lot of ideas, what should you do?" After saying that, he shot and knocked down a Japanese soldier who rushed over.
Zhang Wei turned his heart sideways: "Company commander, withdraw, if you don't withdraw, you will die, the battalion headquarters has lost contact, there is no way to give an order, as long as we retreat to the Purple Mountain, we can still beat them, we still have a chance!" ”
Qiu Wei looked at Wu Zhong and nodded.
"Withdraw, tell Liu Qiwei that they should withdraw quickly, find the battalion headquarters, and break away quickly." Wu Zhong shouted by pulling his neck.
"The third platoon leader is dead." It was He Kun who said this, and when he rushed over, he was still holding a broken military shovel.
Zhang Wei shouted: "Everyone, retreat, retreat quickly, don't care about the dead!" ”
The three of them also followed Wu Zhong and shouted the retreat order at the same time: there is only this primitive method, and there is no trumpet soldier in the company. ”
The officers and men of the fourth company who heard the order got rid of the hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army one after another, of course, some people succeeded in escaping, and many more failed to come out.
Zhang Wei asked the injured Qiu Wei to take the company commander first, and he and He Kun fought back to back in a big circle, firing black guns and cutting black knives, and they could save one by one.
Zhang Wei held twenty rings and killed a Japanese soldier who was pestering Hao Zhong, the leader of the first squad, Hao Zhong dragged his rifle and ran out quickly, and by the way, he brought out three soldiers from the first squad.
The Japanese also noticed the retreat intentions of the Chinese army, but they seemed to be more concerned about the position, and for the Chinese soldiers who were out of battle, they used guns if they could, and they would not chase after those who could not be hit.
Zhang Wei and He Kun one with a gun, one with a shovel, few were killed in the crowd, but there were many who were frightened to hide to the side, Zhang Wei came to a burst, taking advantage of the chaos of the team and a few people broke away from hand-to-hand combat, led by the old squad leader of the heavy machine gun squad.
More and more Japanese troops poured onto the heights, the earthy yellow Japanese uniforms gradually drowned out the gray-black winter national uniforms, and the hand-to-hand combat gradually stopped with the retreat of the fourth company.
The main peak of the highland of Zhongshan Mausoleum was lost.
On the way to the battalion headquarters, Wu Zhong counted the number of people again, and there were less than 50 people left in the whole company, counting the most alive in one platoon, and there were twenty-two who could move, Qiu Wei's second platoon survived more than a dozen, and then excluding the surviving company headquarters, Liu Qiwei's third platoon, which was a reserve before the war, was almost wiped out, and only four of the nine infantry squad leaders survived, and Zhang Wei's third squad leader Gao Yigong was also killed.
After these 50 people retreated, they rushed all the way in the direction of the battalion headquarters, and the Japanese troops occupying the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum did not bother to care about them, on the one hand, they looked down on them, and on the other hand, they also lost at least more than 30 people in the hand-to-hand combat just now. For this "rout", I will let it go for the time being.
The straight-line distance between the battalion headquarters and the high ground is only more than 300 meters, which is really a piece of cake for a group of people who are eager to "live".
But when they arrived at the place, they found that it was not much better at all, the battalion command post was half blown up, more than 200 heads were still desperately resisting, a 75 infantry gun was firing shells with great effort, Wu Zhong saw the commander of the fifth company and the commander of the heavy machine gun company giving orders on both sides of the position.
"Mother, it seems that we have persisted long enough."
Zhang Wei glanced at the fierce battle position and Wu Zhong: "Company commander, let's go up." With a wave of Wu Zhong's hand, less than fifty remnants of the fourth company immediately rushed forward and threw themselves into battle
