Chapter 214: Nantou Village is lost
In Nantou Village, Chengguan Town, Pingding County, the Captain of the First Brigade of the Second Infantry Wing of the Devil's Garrison Corps and the Captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, the two of them were holding binoculars to observe the battle.
When they saw their troops quickly approaching the position, the two Shaozuo captains showed excited expressions on their faces, and they felt that they would definitely be able to capture the position of the independent regiment this time.
Especially when they saw their soldiers quickly installing bayonets and preparing to start a white-knuckle battle, their eyes showed a confident gaze.
The devil soldiers are very good at white-knuckle combat, and cannons and bayonets are their main strategy to deal with the enemy.
Seeing that the troops were about to engage in a white-knuckle battle, the two Shaozuo captains knew very well that the victorious scales had begun to fall towards them.
It's just that when they saw a soldier rushing out of the ruined position in Nantou Village, the expressions on their faces changed greatly.
At first, they looked at the soldiers of these independent regiments with disdain, and the two captains felt that their soldiers would easily pierce the bodies of these soldiers of the independent regiment with bayonets.
But they didn't see such a picture, they saw a soldier of the Independent Regiment rushing into the ranks of the devil soldiers, pulling a grenade, and dying with the devil soldiers.
Listening to the explosions coming from front one after another, the disdainful expressions on the faces of the two captains gradually stiffened, and they stared at the scene in front of them with dull eyes.
The two of them slowly lowered their binoculars, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw each other's eyes stunned.
These soldiers who rushed out to pull the grenades were indeed soldiers of the Chinese troops, and these soldiers who calmly sounded the grenades on their bodies were indeed those Chinese soldiers who were regarded as replenished by the Japanese officers and soldiers.
They wore tattered military uniforms, they used captured weapons, they were physically weak, and they were called the sick men of East Asia.
But now, in the face of the bayonets of their own Imperial Japanese Army, they dared to pull the grenades on their bodies and died with the Imperial soldiers.
Such a shocking picture made the two Shaozuo captains stunned, and they almost couldn't believe what they saw.
"This ...... Is this still those soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death? They...... What the hell is wrong with them......"
"If the soldiers of China are all such warriors, I'm afraid we will ......"
The two Shaozuo captains muttered to themselves, and neither of them continued to talk about the rest of the words.
The two men held up their binoculars to observe the situation ahead, their brows furrowed.
"Pass the order down and capture these soldiers alive as much as possible." The commander of the 1st Brigade gave the order.
But more than a dozen soldiers on the battlefield had already ended their lives with grenades, and they took the lives of dozens of devil soldiers in the same way.
The deputy squad leader's eyes turned red, he held the big knife tightly with both hands, and when he saw the ghost soldiers slowly advancing, he rushed out directly.
Quickly came to the front of a ghost soldier, the deputy squad leader raised his big knife, and he directly cut off the head of the ghost soldier.
The two devil soldiers quickly stabbed at the deputy squad leader's body with bayonets, and the deputy squad leader flexibly picked up the two bayonets with his broadsword, and at the same time he stabbed the sharp tip of the knife into the heart of one of the devil soldiers.
Another devil soldier drew his bayonet and wanted to continue stabbing at the deputy squad leader, but the deputy squad leader's movements were obviously faster.
He drew his broadsword and cut off the head of the devil soldier.
There were two heads with steel helmets on the ground, and bright red blood stained the ground.
The rest of the devil soldiers saw that the deputy squad leader was using a big knife, and although they had a numerical advantage, none of them dared to take the initiative to approach the deputy squad leader.
A Japanese second lieutenant, apparently enraged, drew his saber and slashed directly at the head of the deputy squad leader.
"It's good to come." The deputy squad leader shouted, he raised his broadsword to resist, and the saber struck on the broadsword.
The Japanese second lieutenant was numb from the shock, and the saber in his hand couldn't help falling to the ground, and the deputy squad leader took the opportunity to raise the big knife and slashed directly at the Japanese second lieutenant.
When the devil soldiers saw that their commander was about to be killed, the two devil soldiers quickly pulled the trigger, and two bullets hit the body of the deputy squad leader.
Bright red blood flowed down the body of the deputy squad leader, and the body of the deputy squad leader couldn't help but pause, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted, slashing the big knife on the head of the Japanese second lieutenant.
Bai Huahua's brains and bright red blood flowed down the head of the Japanese second lieutenant, and the rest of the devil soldiers saw that their commander was killed, and they pulled the trigger one after another.
One bullet after another hit the body of the deputy squad leader, and seven or eight blood holes appeared on the body of the deputy squad leader in an instant.
Blood flowed out of these blood holes, and the deputy squad leader's eyes widened, looking at the ghost soldiers unwillingly.
There was no sign of life, but he still held the knife tightly in both hands, and his body remained in place.
The ghost soldiers looked at the deputy squad leader in fear, and some of the timid ghost soldiers couldn't help but take a few steps back.
A Japanese squad leader boldly came to the deputy squad leader, he raised his saber and directly cut off the deputy squad leader's head......
The body of the deputy squad leader gradually fell to the ground, and the devil soldiers quickly rushed to the position with bayonets.
Seeing that there were still more than a dozen seriously wounded on the position, these devil soldiers quickly aimed their bayonets at the seriously wounded.
Because the signal soldiers had already conveyed the orders of the captain, these devil soldiers who came to the position wanted to capture these seriously wounded alive.
But these devil soldiers gradually found that these seriously wounded began to smile on their faces.
Smoke began to emerge from the bodies of the seriously wounded, and the sound of grenade explosions rang out one after another.
More than a dozen seriously wounded people detonated the grenades, and they chose to die with the devil soldiers.
Most of the soldiers of the Third Company who garrisoned Nantou Village chose to end their lives by detonating grenades, and they used this method to cause hundreds of casualties to the Japanese army.
The Japanese army south of Chengguan Town conquered Nantou Village, and the 1st and 2nd Brigades suffered a total of more than 500 casualties, in addition to the loss of two Type 89 tanks.
The 7th and 8th platoons of the 3rd Company were almost completely annihilated, and the 3rd Platoon of the 3rd Company's combat machine guns and the 2nd Platoon of Mortars were all wiped out, and none of the soldiers survived.
In the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, when Sun Weiguo got the news of the loss of Nantou Village, it was already twelve o'clock at noon.
When Sun Weiguo saw Fu Tao and other officers and soldiers of the third company who were unconscious, the expression on his face became solemn.
After ordering Chen Zhengwei to immediately take Fu Tao and others to the health team, Sun Weiguo looked at the map, and his face was full of solemn expressions.
"Nantou Village is lost, and the Japanese army has two choices, they can go straight to our regimental headquarters, and of course they can also detour back to Nanzhuang Village and Tianjing Village to move behind the flank. Deputy Commander, we have to find a way to stop this group of Japanese troops. ”
Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a solemn expression.
