Chapter Seventy-Three: The Death Battle of the 12th Brigade (1)
4.73 Temporary 12th Brigade Death Battle (1)
The most fierce fighting position was guarded by the 1st Regiment, 3rd Battalion, 7th Company, their company commander was an old subordinate of "San Li", when the devil's cannon just sounded, the opium-smoking commander ran away with his guards, and the current company commander was a squad leader of the original 99th Division, surnamed Qiao.

In addition to Squad Leader Qiao, there were also 4 soldiers from the 99th Division on this position.
These few people are now the backbone of this line of defense.
Because Squad Leader Qiao took over the command early, the 7th Company never asked Xie Wendong for help.
In the eyes of squad leader Qiao, a charge of such a scale is really a piece of cake, and at best it is just a temptation of the Japanese army.
Under the cover of 3 grenadiers and 2 Type 92 heavy machine guns, the devil soldiers wearing steel helmets and cats marched forward quickly, and then lay down about 100 meters away from the position of the 7th Company and began to shoot at the 7th Company.
This is a wave of very experienced devils, they did not rashly break into the fire circle of the 7th Company, this style of play has been used by the Japanese army many times before when fighting with the 99th Division, and it is not new at all.
However, for the time being, the 12th Brigade is not the 99th Division, and the acting company commander of the Qiao squad only has 3 Czech-style and one Makqin in his hands, and the other soldiers are all old-fashioned Hanyang-made, and some of the rifling is smoothed, and I don't know where Li Guojun sold all the weapons allocated by the Ministry of National Defense, and actually used these "rags" to bluff his subordinates.
Fortunately, before the 12th Brigade went to the battlefield, Huang Haoran asked Wang Huanzhi to replenish them with some weapons and ammunition, at least now there are enough bullets and grenades.
Unlike the previous 12th Brigade, which had only 50 rifle rounds per person.
Squad Leader Qiao didn't dare to let his troops shoot at the devils, he was afraid that the Japanese army would see the weakness of his troops' combat effectiveness, so Squad Leader Qiao only let a few soldiers of the 99th Division with good marksmanship shoot a few shots from time to time, which was regarded as a warning to the Japanese army.
The 7th company's baby Makqin and Czech-style were even more tightly covered, and they didn't even dare to show their heads.
The Japanese fought for a while, and when they saw that the Chinese army refused to reveal the position of the heavy firepower, they also hesitated.
It seemed that it would be impossible to deal with the machine guns and mortars of the Chinese army in this round, and the Japanese commander decided to change the way of playing.
The Japanese artillery, which had disappeared for a while, reappeared, and all possible machine-gun fire points on the 7th Company's position were focused on by Japanese shells.
Qiao shouted loudly: "Lower your head!" Wear your steel helmets and protect yourself! ”
The officers and men of the 7th Company experienced such shelling for the second time in their lives, the first time being fifteen minutes ago......
This time, the Japanese army basically used mortars and Type 92 infantry guns, and the power of the shell explosion was obviously not as good as the first round of naval guns and heavy artillery.
Squad leader Qiao is also a veteran who has been in Songhu for more than ten days, and he asked the officers and soldiers to dig desperately to dig anti-artillery holes at the beginning, but unfortunately the 12th Brigade is seriously lacking in earthwork tools, and many soldiers don't even know what anti-artillery holes are, most of them just dug a pit in the ground and lay in it like this.
Such a dirt pit was not even a foxhole in the eyes of Platoon Commander Qiao and his old subordinates, and as soon as they wanted to give the order to rectify it, the devil's cannon went off.
As a result, the casualties of the 7th Company in the shelling were extremely high!
When the second shelling of the devil stopped, squad leader Qiao hurriedly asked the squad and platoon leaders to check the number of people, and as a result, more than a third of the officers and soldiers of the 7th company closed their eyes.
The number of people on the positions plummeted to 71.
"The second platoon commander is dead, and now there is an agent?"
Acting Company Commander Joe was urging the troops to prepare for battle while loudly arranging the candidates for the alternate officers.
A soldier replied, and the content made Squad Leader Qiao a little surprised:
"A squad leader is acting on his behalf! But the second platoon leader doesn't seem to be dead, saying that he dug it out of the soil again! ”
"Let the first squad leader take the place, let the second platoon commander prepare a substitute, and the casualties of the officers will be very large in a while!"
"Yes, Acting Company Commander!"
The sound of the leather shoes worn by the devil stepping on the ground began to become clearer and clearer, and the sights of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Company were already full of Japanese soldiers, but Acting Company Commander Qiao still did not give the order to shoot.
Do you want to wait for the devil's bayonet to be handed under your nose before shooting?
There were anxious soldiers who kept looking in the direction of Squad Leader Qiao.
Squad Leader Qiao was the only Makqin in the whole company, which was the most lethal weapon in the 7th Company, and Squad Leader Qiao arranged for 5 riflemen to cover all around, while he himself stayed with the heavy machine gun.
"Aim at that devil officer, stare him to death, and take him down with one shot!"
Squad Leader Qiao instructed the rifleman in front of the right, and there was a Japanese officer jumping up and down in the queue in the Japanese army opposite, and Squad Leader Qiao felt annoyed and panicked.
The Japanese army has entered a distance of 30 meters, and the bullets of the Makqin heavy machine gun can easily shoot people through this distance.
He raised Thomson in his hand and pulled the trigger with a loud shout!
"Hit! ....”
At such a close distance, even if the marksmanship of the officers and men of the 12th Brigade was poor, they could easily hit the target, and the dense bullets hit the Japanese army's assault queue, and immediately put down a group of devils.
Captain Qiao roared, "Grenades! ”
The officers and men of the 7th Company pulled off the fuse of the grenades and threw the explosives like buds, forming a wall of fire in front of the position.
The Japanese army was indeed a tentative attack, and after such a continuous blow from the 7th Company, these devils quickly retreated.
Before the officers and soldiers had time to take a breath, Squad Leader Qiao's voice roared again:
"Anti-artillery! Take care of your head! ”
The officers and men of the 7th Company hurriedly ran to the hiding place, and before they could find their own dirt pit, the Japanese shells fell on their side.
Squad Leader Qiao pounced forward, dragged a soldier who ran around like a fly without a head, and then rolled him into the trench with him, clinging to the wall of the trench.
The soldier gasped for breath, he was still very young, sixteen or seventeen years old at most.
Makqin had just revealed his position, and he was blown up into scrap metal before he could make a quick transfer.
The heavy firepower of the 7th company was thus lost.
Makqin's shooter also wanted to jump into the trench where Squad Leader Qiao was located, but his legs and feet were a little slower, and a piece of cannonball skin flew from behind him and plunged into the back of his head, the tip of which was exposed from his forehead, and the shooter fell headlong into the trench and fell beside Squad Leader Qiao and the soldiers.
Seeing such a scene, the little soldier screamed frantically, his hair stood on end, and the whole person fell into madness, breaking free of Squad Leader Qiao's arms and crawling out of the trench.
He couldn't see the shrapnel flying around him and the exploding shells.
Squad Leader Qiao knew that it was useless to say anything now, he stood up and smashed the butt of his rifle on the back of the soldier's head, and then dragged the unconscious little guy into the trench.
The recruits all look like this, and when they kill someone and see blood, they will be fine......
