Chapter 515: Fight to the Death!
April 27, 1938, this day is destined to be the node of the defensive battle of Taierzhuang.
The Japanese army once again mobilized its forces to launch the most fierce and frantic attack on Dongzhuang and Huoshibu, and the Dongzhuang position was the focus of the Japanese attack. Attempted to capture the Dongzhuang defense line and take Taierzhuang directly.
Lu Han saw the Japanese army's combat intentions clearly, and ordered the 1082nd Regiment defending the Dongzhuang position to avoid enemy artillery fire and stand by for an attack.
Major General Yan Jiaxun, commander of the regiment, immediately deployed in the frontal position and the Phoenix Bridge position to meet the final battle.
On the other side, the 184th Division was assembled and prepared to capture Yuwang Mountain with all its might. As long as Yuwangshan is in the hands of the Dian army, the entire battle situation will undergo qualitative changes. The entire strategic focus will be shifted to Yuwang Mountain. (To be continued)
After lunch, Shao Fei called the three company commanders for a combat meeting.
"Today is a node, and it is also a moment of decisive battle."
Shao Fei opened the map and pointed to two points, one was Yuwang Mountain and the other was Dongzhuang.
Shao Fei said: "There will be two battles today. The 184th Division attacked Yuwang Mountain, and the Japanese attacked Dongzhuang. In the morning, the Japanese army had already reinforced Dongzhuang, and the intention was obvious, and they went all out to capture Dongzhuang. As long as Dongzhuang is broken, Yuwang Mountain will be meaningless. ”
Lu Han originally wanted the 184th Division to withdraw to defend Taierzhuang, but Zhang Chong insisted on taking Yuwang Mountain. As long as Yuwang Mountain is in hand, the Dongzhuang position is meaningless, and the entire central point will revolve around Yuwang Mountain.
The 60th Army was now allocated to the Second Army, and their supreme commander was Sun Lianzhong. And Sun Lianzhong also means this, with Yuwang Mountain, even if Dongzhuang is captured by the Japanese army, it is meaningless. So, Sun Lianzhong asked Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army to defend Taierzhuang and let the 184th Division attack Yuwang Mountain.
Therefore, Shao Fei pointed out that the focus now is Dongzhuang, and the Dongzhuang position must be held before the 184th Division captures Yuwang Mountain.
"Today may be a hard battle, and it won't be as easy as last night, because we have to fight a frontal force, reinforcing the 1082nd Regiment to hold the Dongzhuang position."
Shao Fei's words The three company commanders had different mental reactions, after all, they came from different teams and had different mentalities. This is basic human nature, Shao Fei understands.
"Let's set the task!" Gao Yi said that he was a little excited, and he was also the most active of the three company commanders.
Shang Bin of the Second Company seems to have lost yesterday's enthusiasm, because last night's attack on the field hospital, the Second Company suffered the most.
And most importantly, their task has been accomplished. At first, Shao Fei borrowed troops to block Liu Guitang's Imperial Army, but now they don't need to be martyred for the Dian army. Even if they all die in battle, who will remember them.
The third company is the captive unit, which can only go with the flow, and the combat strength is the weakest. It is also a unit that does not know why it is fighting and for whom. It would not be surprising at all if they appeared deserters.
However, although Shao Fei knew about the unstable factors in these independent battalions, he chose not to solve them. Maybe it's a fair choice, a fair life.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom" "......"
Again, there was a lot of artillery fire. The shells of the Dongzhuang position were overwhelming, as fierce as rain, and they bloomed everywhere. Yan Jiaxun ordered the soldiers to hide in the wheat field trenches.
The positions were dusty, the artillery was deafening, and the soldiers who remained were buried in the dust, leaking only their heads.
After two hours of shelling, Zhang Zhongqiang, the commander of the first battalion, called the other company commanders over and said loudly: "The enemy is about to attack, everyone has been together for several years, and now we can still be together, I am afraid that we will only meet tomorrow at the palace of the king of Hades." ”
Several company commanders shed tears of sadness after hearing this, and then battalion commander Zhang Zhongqiang said: "But for the sake of the Chinese nation and for the sake of the elders of Yunnan, as long as there is still a breath of air, we must fight the enemy to the end." (It's not very inspiring, but it's what he said.) )
The enemy quickly launched a ground attack, and although there were few of them, they were very frenzied, screaming and rushing to the position.
"Isn't the devil crazy!"
Zhang Zhongqiang sighed. The devils attacked in a haphazard manner, just rushing blindly, and some soldiers wore strips of white cloth tied to their heads.
The Japanese troops attacking the Dongzhuang position had received a death order: Yuwangshan was in a hurry, and the Dongzhuang position must be taken before evening.
And now the attack is a death squad, the task is not to capture Dongzhuang, but also to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness.
"I'm getting closer, I'm fighting!" Zhang Zhongqiang ordered.
"Boom Boom" "Boom Boom"
The Japanese again launched heavy artillery bombardment of the positions.
"What's the matter, aren't they afraid of blowing up their own people?"
Zhang Zhongqiang didn't understand what was going on, the devil was staging the rhythm of his life.
"Hit!" Zhang Zhongqiang gave an order, picked up the machine gun and began to fire wildly.
"Dadada" "......"
Heavy gunfire rang out from the positions. The soldiers braved the artillery fire to fight back, and many people were directly blown out of the position, and their flesh and blood were blurred.
The devils in front kept throwing grenades, rushing towards the position under the cover of smoke.
"Rush!"
The devil quickly rushed to the front of the position, and Zhang Zhongqiang reluctantly launched a charge.
"Boom Boom" "......"
The Japanese artillery bombardment showed no signs of stopping, and in addition to the shouts of killing and screaming, there were more artillery sounds at the front of the position.
This white-knuckle battle was unimaginably tragic, and once the Japanese soldiers were stabbed, they would scream "ah", pull out the grenade and die with the enemy.
Some of the soldiers of the Yunnan army were suppressed by this kind of dead-and-death fighting, and some even began to retreat.
After a hard battle, the Dian army still won the victory, but this victory was entirely determined by their numerical superiority.
There are corpses all over the place, and three layers of corpses are superimposed.
However, the Japanese army received a death order, and they would never give the Dian army a chance to breathe, and it was not long before they launched such a deadly attack again.
The same is true in the Phoenix Bridge position, where the regiment commander Yan Jiaxun personally commands. After several rounds of bloody battles, the 1082 regiment suffered heavy losses, and only a quarter of its combat effectiveness remained.
Yan Jiaxun was helpless, so he sent the engineer company, the logistics team, and even the men and horsemen to the position. He already has the consciousness of breaking the cauldron and is determined to fight the devil to the death in Dongzhuang.
The decisive moment began in the evening. The Japanese army blew the trumpet of the charge, and the devils shouted in patches and rushed towards our position.
"It's time for a decisive battle!" Kill! ””
After a burst of gunfire, everyone in the 1083rd Regiment rushed out of the position and defended this position with flesh and blood!
On the position where the corpses were piled up, the sound of killing shook the sky, and it was also the loudest killing cry of the day.
The soldiers on both sides will not back down a step to the death. The corpses were increasing, and the earth was turning redder, and even the setting sun was turning purple.
"Stomp and step" The Japanese army showed its last trump card, cavalry! A squadron of cavalry roared with sabers wielding silver glittering sabers.
The Dongzhuang position is in danger. Zhang Zhongqiang saw the cavalry rushing in the distance, and his eyes began to despair.
"Bang Bang Bang" "Bang Bang" "......"
The sound of rifles kept sounding from the rear of the position, and I saw the devils fall from their horses one by one.
Sabu led the special combat team to the top of the wall and sniped the devil cavalry like a target. If the cavalry is the trump card of the devil, then the special combat team is the trump card of the Dian army.
"Kill", "......"
Shao Fei led the independent battalion to kill from the flank. Shao Fei was forbearance in the dark before, and he saw the Japanese army's style of playing first and then attacking generally, so he could only show his hole cards at the most critical moment.
The addition of the independent battalion completely boosted the morale of all the officers and men of the 1082nd Regiment, and the battle situation began to appear one-sided.
The Japanese began to retreat, and their ace cavalry was almost completely sniped.
"Tutu Tutu" "......"
In the process of retreating, the Japanese army was suddenly attacked from the other side.
"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”
Knives also rushed over with a reconnaissance platoon. This is the moment of the final battle, and there is little point in reconnaissance. And the knife seems to have been suffocated, and the entire battlefield is the most energetic for him.
After an hour of bloody fighting, the Dian army won the final victory and successfully held the Dongzhuang position. And the price paid was 2,000 young lives of the 1082 regiment!
