Chapter 504: Bloody Battle in Woshan!
"Boom Boom Boom~" "Boom Boom Boom~"
The Japanese army was completely a loser's style of play, and the bombers did not hesitate to drop bombshells over Woshan. And their heavy artillery units, too, did not spare their shells.
"Air raids! Take cover! ”
On the Woshan position, the officers kept shouting and shouting. These Yunnan soldiers had never seen this posture before. Although he received air defense training in Wuhan, actual combat is different from a drill after all.
After the bombardment, the infantry began to storm the mountain. The positions and the front of the positions were already covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and there seemed to be no room left for more corpses. The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, and the smell of death and blood constantly enveloped the land that had long been stained red by blood.
On the scorched position, all the officers and men of the 1078th Regiment were disgraced and pulled their bolts to prepare for a new battle. They have only the enemy in their eyes, and have forgotten that this is the first time the enemy has attacked.
The task of the 1078th Regiment is to defend the Hushan and Woshan positions and fight to the last man.
The fighting was fierce. Under the cover of aircraft, heavy artillery and combat vehicles, the Japanese launched one strong attack after another. The cannon roared, shrapnel flew indiscriminately, and the hillside had already been blown to pieces.
"Fight again when you get closer, save ammo!"
Dong Wenying commanded calmly. After a morning of fighting, the 1078th Regiment suffered many casualties and a huge consumption of ammunition. The 1078 regiment was alone in depth, and the ammunition could not be replenished in time.
"Hit!" Dong Wenying gave an order.
"Tutu Tutu" "......"
A battalion of twelve heavy machine guns fired a salvo from the frontal position, and hot bullets rained down from above. The vanguard of the devils fell in rows, and the devils in the back row swarmed, one after the other.
A shrill "whoosh" sound pierced the sky. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Countless shells rang out over the positions. The devils used artillery fire to suppress the firing points on the position and cover the infantry attack.
And the fighters of 1078 can only fight back under heavy artillery fire, and if they slack off, the devil infantry will quickly attack the position.
The sound of "boom boom boom" artillery continued, and the smoke billowed out of the entire position, Dong Wenying vowed not to retreat, defending this land of projectiles.
"Kill!" "Kill!" “……”
Suddenly, the 2nd Battalion charged from the left, attacked from the flank, cut off the middle of the Japanese army, and began a life-and-death battle.
"Rush!" Dong Wenying seized the opportunity and quickly led the first battalion to launch a charge to cooperate with the second battalion. He took the brunt of the big knife and rushed to the forefront. It seems that he has already taken care of the aftermath and is ready to give his young life for the country.
(Dong Wenying came from an ominous background, but mentioned in the desperate family letter that his son was less than ten years old, so he should be the youngest commander of the Dian army.) )
In an instant, the gunfire gradually stopped, and the sound of killing and screaming became the main theme of this bloody battlefield. Many soldiers forgot to step on their feet because they were so focused on stabbing that they accidentally stepped on the corpse and slipped on, and as a result, they became one of them.
On the battlefield, it may be a blessing for a soldier to have a whole corpse. The position was constantly subjected to intensive bombardment, and countless stumps and arms were broken. This kind of bloody and tragic warriors have long been accustomed to it, they don't have the extra energy and feeling to experience it, they only focus on the enemy in front of them, maybe if they are not careful, they will become one of the countless corpses.
The cruelty of war cannot be depicted in gorgeous writing, and only those who have experienced it can truly feel the blood.
"I'd rather die standing than live behind my back!"
Dong Wenying shouted loudly, and under his leadership, the soldiers of the 1078 Regiment fought bravely to kill the enemy. Half an hour later, they repelled the gang again and returned to their positions.
"Whew~" Dong Wenying kept panting and smiling. He didn't know that this was the devil's first round of attacks, at least now the position was still in his hands.
Not long after, Dong Wenying took out a letter from his body. This was written to his wife before he set off for the Woshan position. By this time, the letter was already half soaked in blood.
"Tuanza." The commander of the first battalion walked out, saw the letter and asked, "Is this a letter to Maolian's sister-in-law?" ”
Dong Wenying put it away and said, "Maybe it's a letter from home that can't be sent." What are you looking for me? ”
The commander of the first battalion replied: "I have counted and now there are only more than 300 brothers left in the first and second battalions. Let's draw a company from the three battalions of the Hushan position to reinforce it. ”
"Nope." Dong Wenying refused, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Transfer the three companies that are blocking Liu Guitang from the south." ”
"How can this work, in case ......"
Dong Wenying waved his hand and said, "That connection doesn't mean anything at all." Liu Guitang really called, and a company couldn't hold it at all. And isn't that Shao Fei blocking the attack, I believe in his ability. ”
The commander of the first battalion said: "I have heard of this person, and he is very godly, but I don't know if it is true or not. ”
Dong Wenying smiled and said, "Just relying on the commanders of the two major armies to force the palace to Lao Jiang for him, it is enough to prove that the rumors are true." It is a blessing for the Dian army to have such people to help. ”
"Okay, I'll transfer the three companies now."
The commander of the first battalion was about to leave, but Dong Wenying stopped and said, "Wait a minute, send a squad from the heavy machine gun team." ”
The Hushan position is the last line of defense of the 1078 Regiment, and Dong Wenying will not transfer troops. And the heavy machine gun team is his last trump card. At that time, the most advanced M2 heavy machine gun had a caliber of 12.7 mm, and each regiment of the Dian Army was equipped with a heavy machine gun imported from France with a caliber of 13.3 mm. It was nicknamed the "French Kiss of Death".
Command of the Japanese Wing. The long inability to capture the Woshan position and the heavy losses of the troops made their commander very frustrated, and Liu Guitang's delay in arriving also made him a little annoyed.
"Your Excellency Dazuo doesn't need to be so angry, the Woshan position is the end of a strong crossbow, and we are bound to win. Now that they have suffered the same heavy losses, I believe that with three more rounds of attacks, Woshan will definitely be lost. A devil adjutant on the side comforted.
The captain of the Devil Wing waved his hand and said, "Even if the Woshan position is taken, the Zhina Army still has Hushan, I think they will move when they are almost done." Their commander is in Woshan right now, and I have to find a way to keep that man coming and going. ”
"What do you think?"
The captain of the devil's wing looked at the map and ordered: "Send two squadrons to fortify between Woshan and Hushan, and when they withdraw their defenses, the main force will quickly flank them." ”
"Hey!" The devil's adjutant turned around and left, and went to arrange to block Dong Wenying's troops until he died.
The frontal position of Woshan, due to the arrival of reinforcements, increased the combat effectiveness of the defense and also boosted morale. The Japanese offensive began to weaken, and they did not seem to be in a hurry to capture Woshan, but only used artillery fire to weaken the combat strength of the 1078th Regiment.
At this time, Dong Wenying did not know that the Japanese army was sending two squadrons to cut off their retreat.
