5.17 Bloody Levels

Zhichang Highway, three kilometers away from the Wufu Line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sun began to sink gradually, and on the roads and fields, there were piles of running troops everywhere, and the uniforms of these troops were varied, ranging from the yellow uniforms of the central army to the various colors of the local army.

These were the troops of the 174th and 40th Divisions, and of course, there were many small units of troops that did not know which unit number they belonged to, and these unformed armed forces were spinning around the road like headless flies.

The Chinese army only has a radio station at the division and brigade level, and once a small unit is separated from the main force, it is equivalent to losing contact with the whole world.

Still fighting on their own soil, these troops still know the general direction they should go, but they still lack maps and compasses, so it is not so easy to escape.

Not far from these Chinese troops, Taro Goto raised his military binoculars from behind a rabbit leg......

One hour ago, the Goto Brigade, which belonged to the 16th Wing of the 9th Division, had stopped at this position, and because of the speed of their march, the queue of this brigade had been stretched into a thin long line, and there were not a few soldiers who had fallen behind.

Goto Taro Shaozo must retract his brigade, otherwise he can only take less than half of the soldiers to attack the 99th Army checkpoint on the Wufu Line.

His brigade is now starting to recuperate......

After the 9th Wing received permission from their division commander, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasa, several brigades immediately began to penetrate rapidly, and the fastest Goto Brigade had even run in front of some of the retreating Chinese troops.

In order not to engage in an encounter with the retreating Chinese army and to make the 99th Army on the Wufu line aware of their arrival, Goto Taro Shaosa ordered his brigade to leave the road and march on the side road, which greatly reduced the speed of the troop movement but also increased the concealment of the march.

Goto Taro Shaoza's decision was wise, not long after the Goto Brigade left the road, a large number of Chinese troops rolled up smoke and appeared on the section of the road where the Goto Brigade had just stayed, which was the 40th Division of the Shina Army that was on the run.

The Goto Brigade avoided the risk of being hit headlong by several Chinese divisions behind them......

The soldiers who have fallen behind have gradually caught up, the combat effectiveness of the Wudao Brigade is rapidly recovering, the Chinese troops on the highway have not yet finished, and the Chinese troops passing through now are all kinds of and do not seem to belong to one unit.

Goto Taro Shaozo used a telescope to admire the Chinese's embarrassment, and he estimated that the defeated army was at least more than 3,000 men, and according to the degree of confusion shown by these troops, it was impossible for them to pass through Changshu in no matter how they did not take two hours.

This means that the Goto Brigade can still get at least an hour of rest, and at that time, it is also the time when dusk comes, and without the sun, it will be more conducive to the operation of the Goto Brigade.

Goto Taro told his soldiers that they were starting to eat, and that he needed to get his men to regain some strength as soon as possible.

An hour from now it's time to launch a surprise attack!

The unfinished Chinese army on the highway will be their best human shield, thinking of this, Goto Taro Shaosa showed a beastly smile.

The officers and men of the Goto Brigade forcibly marched a distance of 10 kilometers today, and everyone left a lot of sweat, and now hundreds of officers and soldiers who exude the smell of sweat are crowded together, and the air in the vicinity has become a little muddy.

Taro Goto suffered from rhinitis, and he took out a handkerchief and covered his face in such an environment.

Goto Taro Shaozo took out the rice balls in the bag, as an officer, Goto Shaosa's rice balls were well preserved in the purse, but the Japanese soldiers in the lower classes were not treated so well, they could only carry their rice balls in their arms.

The originally cold rice balls were covered by the sweaty bodies of the Japanese soldiers, and the salt in the sweat also penetrated into the rice balls, increasing the saltiness of the rice balls, and the officers and men of the Goto Brigade began to swallow the food in their hands while panting.

They are waiting for the order of their own captain! These killing machines trained by the Japanese military are waiting for the most suitable opportunity to attack.

Suddenly, the communications soldier with the radio on his back heard the call sign of his troops from the radio, and he quickly answered while running to the side of Taro Goto Shaosa.

Taro Goto put down his rice balls and took over the receiver and the receiver.

The hoarse voice coming from the earphones came from the commander of the 19th Brigade, Major General Tatsumi Kusaba, I don't know what the reason was, the commander of the 9th Wing, Katagiri Goro Osa, had not heard from him since two hours ago, and Goto Taro Shaosa guessed that there should be something wrong with the radio station at the wing headquarters.

The wing headquarters of the 9th Wing did not operate with the three infantry brigades under it, so Katagiri Goro Osa did not have a backup radio station to use at the moment.

In order to prevent the 9th Wing from falling into a situation where it had no command, the commander of the Caochang Brigade jumped out and began to skip the command of the 3 brigades of the 9th Wing.

In the eyes of Taro Goto Shaozo, this little episode was a great opportunity given to him by God.

Taro Goto finally got a good chance to behave in front of His Excellency the Brigade Commander!

Perhaps, the future of his Japanese army will change......

Taro Goto, who has good expectations for his future, secretly made up his mind that his brigade must fight a beautiful battle in Changshu!

The clumsy performance of the Shina army encountered along the way once again gave Goto Taro Shaozo great confidence!

Captain Taro Goto, who is hungry for honor, feels that his eyes are on fire!

He looked down at the watch on his wrist and wished that time would pass faster......

***************************************************

"What bullshit Central Army? A rabble! ”

Mei Lin, the commander of the 139th Battalion of the 540th Regiment of the 1st Division, looked at the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division who were crowded in the passage, and he couldn't help but complain.

Although the area behind the passage was large for the whole group of troops, the width of the entrance was very limited, and there were several small units that retreated with the 40th Division, and the 40th Division took advantage of their outnumbered strength to seize the road with these small troops.

The crowd in the passage was shouting and scolding each other, and no one was willing to give way to anyone, and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion had guided them several times, but there was still no effect.

Battalion Commander Mei was not as fierce as Zhang Guangfu, he could only let his soldiers take care of the fortifications on both sides of the exit and checkpoints, and as for the contradictions between the 40th Division and other troops, the 1st Battalion adopted an attitude of ignoring them.

As a result, the battle in the passage has intensified.

All this made Camp Commander Mei very upset!

The 540 regiment is actually a part of the 535 regiment of the original 302 brigade, because the 3 regiments of the 302 brigade were expanded into 4 regiments after the 139 division, so the officers and soldiers of the original 535 regiment were split by Wang Shankui, and then they each joined some recruits and expanded into 2 regiments, and the 540 regiment inherited 2 main battalions from the 535 regiment, and Merlin's 1 battalion was one of them.

Battalion Commander Mei understood the thoughts of Wang Shankui.

Wang Shankui was the first in Huang Haoran's old department to be promoted to division commander, and the military seat's appreciation of Wang Shankui can be seen.

You must know that even the general brother of the military seat, Shen Laoer, is now just a deputy division commander, and Wang Shankui's current position has attracted too much attention.

In order to live up to Huang Haoran's trust, Wang Shankui worked the new unit of the 139th Division, and he used the old unit of the 302nd Brigade to support the skeleton of this new unit.

The officers of the 302nd Brigade are now the officers of the 139th Division, and the soldiers of the 302nd Brigade consider themselves to be the backbone of the 139th Division.

Because the 99th Division attaches great importance to the cultivation of the quality of officers and men, the 139th Division is still at ease on the issue of officers, but there are some deviations in the composition of soldiers.

Due to the relatively large casualties of the 302nd Brigade in Songhu, when the original team of more than 8,000 people returned to Changshu, there were only more than 5,000 people left, including more than 1,000 wounded and sick people.

As a result, after absorbing a large number of recruits, the veteran rate of the 139th Division is now only 40 percent.

As soon as there are many new troops, the combat effectiveness will naturally drop sharply, but now there are two extremely important checkpoints in the defense area under the responsibility of the 139th Division, both of which are the only way for the Chinese troops to retreat from Songhu.

The Japanese army, which was bent on destroying the main force of the Chinese army, would certainly not let go of these two levels.

Therefore, Wang Shankui deliberately let the 1st Battalion, the main battalion, guard the first important checkpoint, on the one hand, because there are more veterans of the 1st Battalion, and they have been trained on the Songhu battlefield and are more experienced, and on the other hand, it is because of Wang Shankui's trust in Merlin.

After all, the 139th Division is a new stall, and Wang Shankui still hopes that this first battle can be fought more safely.

The 1st Battalion is now in the position most vulnerable to Japanese attacks, and the military headquarters has issued a notice that the activities of the Japanese army in front of the Wufu line are becoming more and more active, and a major battle is about to break out!

Battalion Commander Mei really wanted to turn into a giant dragon and throw all these retreating defeated troops behind the defense line, so that the 99th Army could fight the Japanese with peace of mind!

It's a pity that this is just a good wish......

At the entrance of the passage at the feet of Battalion Commander Mei, the rout of the 40th Division blocked this place again, their performance was very different from the troops passing by a few days ago, they looked particularly flustered, and some people in the black crowd looked back from time to time, as if the Japanese were following behind their buttocks.

These soldiers were obviously chased by the devils.

Battalion Commander Mei felt that the Japanese army should not be too far away from here!

He ordered the 1 battalion to be on alert......

**************************************************

The sky was getting dark, and due to the extreme chaos of order, the troops of the 40th Division still did not finish.

Sensing that the danger was approaching, Battalion Commander Mei decided to learn from Commander Zhang and use force to drive away the 40th Division in the passage, he ordered the companies in the forward fortifications to be ready to meet the Japanese attack at any time, and he himself came to the end of the passage with 2 platoons.

Battalion Commander Mei had his men line up in three horizontal columns, and the bayonets were raised.

Battalion Commander Mei raised his right hand, and as soon as his hand fell, the 1st Battalion would begin to suppress it by force.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of dense gunfire on the road outside the checkpoint, and Goto Taro Shaozo finally couldn't help it, he took advantage of the twilight time when the visibility began to decrease, led his brigade to move to the vicinity of the checkpoint, and then followed the flow of people from the 40th Division to kill him!

Goto Taro Shozo jumped up and down in the Japanese army's assault queue, roaring and driving his soldiers to speed up the impact!

Fast! As long as it can be mixed with the 40th Division of the Chinese people, the firepower points on both sides of the 99th Army checkpoint will be useless, and as long as this chaos can be taken advantage of, the Goto Brigade will be able to take the opportunity to overcome this checkpoint.

The commander of the Kusuda Brigade told Goto Taro Shaozo on the radio that the other two brigades of the 9th Wing will soon be killed, and the main force of the brigade will also arrive later, as long as he can occupy the checkpoint of the 99th Army, he Goto Taro will be a great achievement!

As long as you can wedge a nail in the Wufu line, then the rest will be easy to do!

Wu Fu Line! Will you be the place where Taro Goto became famous? 99th Army! I'd like to see what you weigh!

Taro Goto has now fallen into madness!

"Devil! Battalion commander! The devil wants to come up, but the 40th Division has not yet passed, and the checkpoint can't be tied up, what should I do? ”

Battalion Commander Mei let out a sigh of relief, his hunch was right, the Japanese really took advantage of this dusk to kill them, and they were still a step slower after all!

"Order the special marksman, open fire to block the Japanese army, and the mortar implements blocking fire to separate the 40th Division from the little devil! Platoon Commander Zhang, you take a platoon to dredge the traffic in the passage, and tell these bastards of the 40th Division that if you don't want to die, you can pass in order! ”

After receiving the order of Battalion Commander Mei, dozens of special shooters jumped up in the fortifications and bunkers on both sides of the level, and the Mauser rifles with scopes in their hands turned into the scythes of death!

"Smack! Smack! ”

The gunshots rang out one after another, and the devils who rushed to the front fell on their backs one after another, and the fatal wounds were almost always near the head and heart.

Sniper!

The devils immediately realized that they were facing a group of opponents with excellent marksmanship, and after a pause of two or three seconds, the devils all fell to the ground!

Seeing that the 40th Division not far away began to run away desperately, Captain Taro Goto was anxious.

If you can't get mixed with these Chinese troops and rush through the pass, then today's battle will turn into a tough battle, even if you wait for reinforcements to arrive and conquer this place immediately, it will be a great waste of time, and Your Excellency the brigade commander will definitely be very dissatisfied!

Gotta keep rushing! Do whatever it takes!

"Yaga! Give me all rush! For Great Japan! Kill give! ”

Captain Taro Goto stood up "very bravely", and seeing His Excellency the captain behaving like this, the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground thundered with joy!

The devils of the Goto Brigade scrambled to get up from the ground, shouting the nickname of their captain and rushing up frantically against the dense rain of bullets of the 1st Battalion!

"Shimataro! The invincible Taro Shima! ”

The strange Japanese pronunciation made Camp Commander Mei frown.

In order to consolidate the defense of the checkpoint, Wang Shankui equipped the mortar platoon of the 540th Regiment to the 1st Battalion, and 4 82MM mortars opened fire fiercely, and in just five minutes, more than 100 shells were fired.

The dense artillery shells formed a sea of fire between the 40th Division and the Goto Brigade, and the devils who dared to break in were immediately blown up to the west.

The 1 battalion has already bought some time for the 40 division!

However, what Battalion Commander Mei didn't expect was that the 40th Division in front of the checkpoint had already made the Japanese scared, and the 1st Battalion's blocking not only did not eliminate the tension in their hearts, but intensified the panic of the 40th Division.

Finally, at the narrowest part of the level, everyone is blocked.

In fact, as long as someone is willing to quit, the flow of people can pass through here quickly, but these people are only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and they all think that they have a lot of strength and can kill a passage from the crowd, but as a result, more and more people are surging, and the passage is completely blocked.

If it continues to develop like this, it will take another two hours, and the remnants of the 40th Division will not be finished, and the 1st Battalion can wait, but can the Japanese wait?

At present, the devils who launched the attack are about the size of a brigade, which should only be the vanguard of the Japanese army, in front of the Wufu line, but there are several Japanese divisions and regiments that are advancing rapidly.

It would be an extremely dangerous situation if the road here could not be closed before the arrival of the Japanese army!

Battalion Commander Mei felt that the top of his head began to sweat!

It is impossible for mortars to maintain the current rate of fire all the time, and soon, these devils in front of the pass will pounce, and the remnants of the 40th Division gathered at the mouth of the passage will be mercilessly strangled by the Japanese!

Then these devils will use the remnants of the 40th Division as a cover, and follow them to attack the level.

At that time, the 1st Battalion must first bite the bullet and destroy the friendly units that are blocking the Japanese in front of the Japanese before it can hit the Japanese troops who are following behind.

The 40 Division turned into a human shield for the Japanese!

If they could not bear to shoot at their own people, the 1st Battalion could only watch the Japanese break through their positions.

What to do?

When Battalion Commander Mei was entangled in his heart, the Japanese Goto Brigade finally rushed through the artillery fire, and the devils suffered heavy casualties under the blows of the special shooters and mortars, but they still managed to get involved with the rout of the 40th Division.

In the crowd of the 40th Division, which had lost the will to fight, the Japanese army seemed to be a wolf into a flock of sheep, and the devils of the Goto Brigade used bayonets, machine guns, and even grenades to kill.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 40th Division were killed in the blink of an eye, and at such a time of life and death, they didn't even know how to turn around and fight to the death, and some soldiers raised their weapons above their heads with both hands, squatting on the ground and surrendering to the Japanese army!

These soldiers did not wait for a chance to live, they were greeted by cold bullets!

More and more people died in the passage, and those who wanted to escape were tripped by these corpses, and if someone fell to the ground on their feet, they would immediately be trampled into mud by the people who rushed up from behind!

As the massacre of the Japanese army continued, there were more and more corpses on the ground, and Captain Taro Goto suddenly found that the way forward was about to be blocked by corpses!

Goto Taro Shaosa let out a wolf-like howl:

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting now! ”

It's a pity it's too late!

The passage was finally blocked by layers of corpses!

The Japanese army also panicked all of a sudden!

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the officers and soldiers of the 40th Division finally broke out with the courage to fight to the death, they picked up the weapons in their hands, turned around and killed the devil!

In the narrow passage, the bullets in the chambers of the guns on both sides were quickly exhausted, and the Chinese and Japanese soldiers began to wriggle and fight together!

The form of war was suddenly set back by hundreds of years!

Bayonets, butts, and belts have all become weapons on both sides, and I don't know whether it was the Japanese soldiers or the Chinese soldiers who showed their fangs first, and soon, the teeth were immediately used in the middle of the fight!

If you bite my ear, I will bite your life!

Rivers of blood flowed through the passages!

The screams of the dying soldiers were terrifying!

Battalion Commander Mei's military uniform is already soaked!

The passage in front of him has become a purgatory! The Chinese and Japanese soldiers inside have become devils!

No one knows if they will live to the next second.

At this second, you just solved the opponent in front of you, and the next second you may be killed by someone around you, and the only basis for whether you are friend or foe is the military uniform on the opponent's body!

As long as you don't wear your own uniform, you are the enemy!

Rat!
