Chapter 537: The Battle of Running Out of Ammunition and Food (1)

The 2nd and 3rd companies that were holding the position of the 1st Battalion on Heights 1 suddenly had a sparse gunfire, and just now it was a fierce scene of grenades and grenades constantly falling into the enemy group, but at this time it was quiet, and suddenly the soldiers in the position shouted: "Battalion Commander Zheng, we don't have grenades and grenades, and we don't even have a few bullets, what should we do?" ”

Zheng Tie knew very well in his heart that the weapons and ammunition in the current position were very scarce, but he didn't expect that this would be gone, he glanced at the devils who retreated to the halfway up the mountain, turned to the soldiers who were looking at him with eager eyes, and stood up with his rifle.

Tragic and Zhuang said with a firm tone: "The soldiers of the first battalion, we have reached the critical moment of life and death, the little devil will immediately organize a fierce attack again, in order to hold the No. 1 high ground, wait for the devil to approach the forward position, put a limited number of bullets, aim at the little devil, we must ensure that every bullet destroys an enemy, but we must leave one for ourselves, when it comes to the critical moment, we are." ”

"Battalion Commander Zheng, don't say it again, we know what to do at the most dangerous moment, even if we die in battle, we will never be a prisoner of the devil." The fighters on the position raised their guns and shouted.

"Okay, I thank my brothers, when the country needs us the most, sacrifice your life to kill the devil, be ready to use bayonets, kill the enemy at any time, and fight to the death with the enemy."

Niu Dali listened to Zheng Tie make the final arrangements for the soldiers, he struggled to stand up, but he was seriously injured but could not do so, the two soldiers around him helped Niu Dali up and asked: "Deputy Regiment Commander Niu, you are seriously injured, it is better to withdraw from the position to the rear, so that we can rest assured that we will kill the enemy group." ”

"Bastard, the soldiers in the position are all ready to be heroic, can I be strong enough to escape from this battlefield stained with the blood of the soldiers? You're underestimating me. ”

Zheng Tie walked to Niu Dali's side and persuaded affectionately: "Deputy Commander Niu, taking advantage of the fact that the devil has not launched another attack now, I will send a soldier to send you to the rear, even if I and the soldiers die in battle, I still know that the first battalion of the No. 1 position has left seeds, you tell Commander Lei, I, Zheng Tie and my soldiers and comrades-in-arms, in order to block the westward advance of the enemy's 372nd Wing, shed the last drop of blood, I'm sorry, I can't follow Commander Lei to kill the little devil anymore, and I will treat him as a brother in the next life." ”

"Zheng Tie, you are the commander of the first battalion, I am the deputy commander of the independent regiment, you said that you and the soldiers died bravely, and my cow escaped vigorously in battle, what face do you tell me to live in the future? Don't say anything, get ready to be heroic together. ”

The officers and men of the first battalion of the No. 1 Highland Independent Regiment were ready to die in the last battle, and the captain of the 372nd Wing in the Yamashita Devil Battalion, Fujita Daisa, frowned all the time, and he received a stern order from Shangfeng, ordering that at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the troops must reach the area of Fengzhuang and destroy the Tuba Road that was breaking the Deshi Road.

Chief of Staff Matsumoto Nakasa saw that Fujita was worried, he took a step forward and said: "Fujita-kun, sticking to the Tsubachi Road on the No. 1 and No. 2 heights is really powerful, the Imperial Japanese Army has carried out the nineteenth attack on the Tubalu position, and has never broken through, I think it is best to bombard the heights with maximum firepower and destroy the Tubachi Road." ”

"Matsumoto-kun, don't you know? After nearly a day of fierce fighting with the Eighth Road, my troops ran out of weapons and ammunition, and there was not much artillery left, and once there were no shells, the mortars would become a pile of rotten iron. Even if we break through the No. 1 and No. 2 heights of the Tuba Road and encounter the main force of the Tuba Road again, and the weapons and ammunition of my wing are not replenished, you say, how can we deal with the battle? ”

Chief of Staff Matsumoto sighed deeply, shook his head and scolded: "The commander of this Tubalu army, cunning and cunning, is really difficult to deal with, the troops of the Imperial Japanese Army, every time they organize an attack on the high ground and are about to achieve victory, they will always be killed by the Tubalu cavalry behind, sabotage our powerful attack, contain our troops, and disperse firepower, so that our vanguard is about to capture the front position of Tubalu and fall short." ”

"Yes, the commander of this Tu Eighth Route Force, the strategic and tactical mobility is flexible, and it is very difficult to deal with, and it is really difficult for us to break through the No. 1 and No. 2 heights at the time specified by the upper peak." Fujita Daisa lamented.

Matsumoto suddenly asked, "Fujita-kun, you have telegraphed Shangfeng to send planes to bomb the No. 1 and No. 2 heights, why haven't the planes come?" Don't. ”

"You don't know, the large army of the Tuba Road not only sabotaged the transportation lines of the imperial army on the Deshi Road, but also organized a large army and the people of China along the Pinghan, Jinpu, and Zhengtai railways and highways in North China, and attacked and destroyed the railways and highways at night, which seriously affected the transportation of military supplies on the front line, and also caused my wing to be unable to replenish weapons, ammunition and urgently needed supplies for a long time.

In order to alleviate the military pressure along the railway line and concentrate superior forces to reinforce the frontal battlefield, the Imperial Army planes of the Great Japanese Empire in North China must break through the No. 1 and No. 2 heights and forcibly march to reinforce the Fengzhuang Railway Station before midnight today. ”

As soon as Fujita Osa remembered Shangfeng's limited action plan, he angrily pulled out his command knife, rushed out of the command headquarters, and shouted angrily at the captains of the 638 and 637 Japanese troops: "You two brigades of imperial warriors can't even break through a small No. 1 high ground, why is this?" ”

The captain of the 638th Brigade saluted and reported: "Report to the Captain, our two brigades, every time they want to capture the forward position of the Tuba Road, they are blocked by the firepower, and every time at this time, the cavalry of the Tuba Road will sneak attack in the rear team, causing the division of troops to block, which is a great constraint on the position of attacking the Tuba Road, mine." ”

"Yaga, the strength of the No. 1 Heights of Tubalu is less than one battalion, and it can actually block the attack of two brigades of our Great Japanese Empire, once it is transmitted to other Imperial Army troops, where is my face? This is the greatest shame and the greatest shame in my war in China.

I order, leave a squadron to guard the wing headquarters, block the sneak attack of the Tu Eighth Route Cavalry Brigade, you must break through the forward position of the Tu Ba Lu at all costs, occupy the No. 1 height, you understand? ”

The captain of the 637th Brigade said with a sad face: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, my brigade is close to being denied, how can I attack the position of Tubalu with firepower?" ”

"Bastard, your brigade is short of weapons and ammunition, the Tuba Road has run out of ammunition and food, I am several times the enemy's strength, not even a single bullet, fighting with a bayonet, I will trample the Tuba Road on the No. 1 Heights to death in the position, I order your two brigades, this is the last attack on the Tuba Road position, you must break through the defense line of the Tuba Road in half an hour, and launch an attack immediately."

The 638th and 637th Brigades of the Japanese Army once again gathered their troops and launched a collective charge against the No. 1 position with a crowd of people, howling with bayonets and killing to the No. 1 high ground.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the First Battalion of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army on the No. 1 Heights were less than two companies at this time, and seeing that the little devils under the mountain had launched another attack, Zheng Tie stood up and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the first battalion, the weapons and ammunition of the little devils have not been replenished, and the devils who have been killed are going to engage in hand-to-hand combat with us. ”

"Bloody battle to the end, bloody battle to the end——。" The soldiers stood up with their rifles, the bayonets emitted a white light under the reflection of the sunshine in the west, and every soldier was ready to fight the last battle with the enemy.

Zheng Tie looked at Niu Dali, who was trembling and standing beside him with a gun, and said with a wry smile: "Deputy Commander Niu, you, you are too seriously injured, as long as you kill the enemy group, you will be stabbed to death by the little devil's knife, and you have no power to parry, why do you bother?" ”

"Bastard calf, the soldiers are not afraid of death when they kill the enemy, my Niu Dali is also a man, is it not possible to be afraid, people will die sooner or later, see how to die, bravely sacrifice themselves to kill devils, Lao Tzu thinks it is worth it, hahaha."

Niu Dali's tragic laughter infected every soldier on the battlefield, and at the moment of life and death, they followed Niu Dali's laughter, and the wild laughter of 'hahaha' was not stopped, and the rough laughter was carried away by the wind blowing from the high ground with the smoke of gunpowder, and passed into the ears of the attacking devils.

The devils who were attacking, looking at the Tubalu soldiers standing in a row with guns in their hands, facing the attacking devils, they could laugh out loud, and sneered one by one: "Crazy, a group of crazy people." ”

Approaching, the vanguard of the devil's attacking troops, there are still more than 20 steps away from the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army standing at the front of the position with guns, every time the little devils take a step forward, not only trembling all over their bodies, they are shocked by the heroic and unyielding soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the majestic majesty they show, they are afraid, they are afraid to death.

The commander of the devil brandished his command knife and roared at the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were only a dozen steps away from the mountain: "Zhinatu Eighth Road, your surrender, the imperial army will be a big reward for you, bastard, quickly throw the gun to the ground." ”
