The reappearance of the 'Songhu Defeat'

On the huge battlefield, the ten-minute white-knuckle battle ended with the annihilation of a squadron of the Japanese army, more than 100 little devils, and nearly 1,000 ** soldiers.

The entire Sichuan Legion, the soldiers who survived through white-knuckle combat. Also under the command of the regiment commander, he did not dare to make any stops, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and returned to the air defense dòng on the position. Of course, at this moment, hundreds of corpses on both sides of the enemy and us were scattered on a large slope in front of the position, looking extremely desolate....

"Tuanza, in the battle just now, the casualties of the troops have all been counted, and it is very not optimistic..." Before he had time to take any rest, the deputy head of the regiment dragged an injured arm and stood in front of the regiment commander with a tired face and said....

"Lao Wang, I want specific data. How many people in the army can continue to fight, how is the condition of your arm, can you continue to fight, do you want to go to the back and take a rest...."Patting the shoulder of his partner in front of him who had been with him for several years, the regiment commander asked with a concerned expression....

"Tuanza, you can rest assured. My arm, just bitten by a little devil, it's fine, it's okay to rest for a while. It's just that the casualties of the troops ...... In the process of confronting the little devils, we lost more than 150 people, and almost all of them were killed by one shot. In addition, in the hand-to-hand battle just now, we once again lost almost 300 troops. So, so far, there are less than 700 fighters left in the whole regiment who can continue to fight..."The deputy regiment commander replied with a sad face.

"*** little devil....isn't it just relying on his advanced equipment, having the ability to use artillery, and doing it directly opposite Lao Tzu...."Hearing that the troops, in less than half an hour of fighting, paid such huge casualties. A burst of anger immediately surged into his heart, clenched his fists, and scolded loudly...

"Tuanza, don't think about anything else now. With the firepower and equipment of the little devils opposite us, our remaining 600 or so people can at most repel their two attacks through white-knuckle combat as they did just now...... So, Tuanza, what should we do next? The deputy head shook his head, and then asked rhetorically.

"Lao Wang, to tell you the truth, just before the attack, the division had already given us a death order. Unless the entire regiment is killed, the position must not be lost. Therefore, the fate of our people has been sealed. And what we can do now is to hold out for a longer time with the remaining troops in our hands...."The regiment commander said with a resolute face.

"Tuanza, we all listen to you, then, what should we do next?" the deputy head of the regiment continued to ask rhetorically.

"You go down there and get all the sharpshooters in the regiment together for me, and give them the best rifles and bullets. In the process of confronting the little devils, the ordinary infantry and machine gunners in our hands are really at a loss. You must rely on these sharpshooters to frustrate the spirit of the little devils. As for the rest of the combatants, they prepared grenades and bayonets, entered according to the tactical tactics just now, greeted them with grenades, and then fought with the little devils with bayonets... As I just said, in terms of firepower, we are not comparable to the little devils, but in terms of white-bladed warfare, we Chinese are the ancestors of the little devils..." The regiment commander's face showed a thick murderous aura, and then, very decisively, ordered.

"Yes, the regimental seat ......," replied Ken Ling, the deputy commander of the regiment, and quickly rushed out of the anti-artillery dòng.

On the Japanese position, except for the 1st Infantry Squadron, because the whole army was destroyed, the squadron leader had no chance to come. The remaining three squadron leaders all stood in front of the captain, their heads bowed, motionless, bearing the anger of the captain in front of them......

"Eight grid tooth road, Zhongtianjun is simply a hún egg. An infantry squadron, more than a hundred warriors of the Imperial Army, was wiped out before they could approach the ** position in China. Stupidity, it's just a big stupidity.," the captain scolded loudly.

"Your Excellency, Captain, please calm your anger, 1st Infantry Squadron, though the whole army is destroyed. However, throughout the battle, it caused very huge casualties to China. Therefore, I humbly requested that the ** troops in the position, without receiving any supplements, immediately launch an attack and break through the ** position in front of the Zhina in one fell swoop..."The entire tent, after a short period of opportunity. The squadron leader of the second squadron spoke. "Yo Xi, I'll give you another chance...... The second infantry squadron served as the first echelon, and the third and fourth infantry squadrons, as the second echelon, expanded the results. After ten minutes of artillery preparation, immediately launch an attack, and strive to break through the ** position in China through one attack..."The captain ordered affirmatively.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Captain is wise......"

In the face of the second round of the Japanese attack, more than 600 ** soldiers who stuck to their positions, although they changed their tactics. However, under the continuous blows of Japanese mortars, grenadiers and other heavy weapons. A platoon of sharpshooters that had just been formed lasted less than five minutes before all of them were killed......

Without the support of sharpshooters, the remaining ordinary infantry, in front of the Japanese riflemen, without exception, were the best shè targets. As long as you stick your head out of the trench, you will be killed by a single shot. Perhaps it was the result of the total annihilation of the 1st Squadron, which deeply affected the leaders of the three infantry squadrons. When the three infantry squadrons and more than 500 devil soldiers had just rushed to a distance of 50 meters from the earthquake, they did not blindly launch a surprise attack, but set up a forward position on the spot...

A tǐngtǐng light and heavy machine gun, a ménmén grenadier, and a mortar used the corpses of the fallen soldiers in front of them as cover, and quickly set them up. After the forward position was consolidated, the strength of an infantry squad launched a final assault...

"Tuanza, the little devil only dispatched a squad of troops, next, what should we do...."Looking at the more than fifty devil soldiers in front of him, lined up in a line of skirmishers, slowly advancing towards the position, and quickly entering the grenade throwing range. The deputy head of the regiment asked.

"Look, the main force of the little devils fifty meters away is staring at us with light and heavy machine guns. If we make a rash attack, we will definitely become the best target for the Japanese army from 50 meters away. It is not worth it to send the lives of so many brothers for the sake of a small squad of Japanese soldiers. Tell the brethren to prepare grenades. Use a grenade to greet these fifty little devils..."Put down the binoculars in your hand. The regiment commander frowned at himself and ordered decisively.

"Yes, Danza..."

"Woooooo Boom boom boom...", with the sound of dense grenade explosions, began to sound in front of the position. More than 50 devil soldiers were immediately shrouded in thick gunsmoke.

Round after round, grenades rained down as they began to explode in front of the position. What everyone did not notice was that at this rate of attrition, all the grenade reserves of the regiment were declining at a straight line speed.

Three squadrons of Japanese infantry, after losing more than 100 people in front and back. On the position, the grenade in the hand of ** was finally exhausted......

"Brothers, keep throwing grenades at me and blow the little devils back......" looked at the more than fifty devil soldiers who rushed to their positions again. The regimental commander did not hesitate and ordered loudly.

However, this time the grenade counterattack, to everyone's surprise, was scattered, and less than fifty grenades were thrown out of the trenches. In the end, fifty grenades, exploding in a wide frontal position, caused less than twenty casualties to the more than fifty little devils who advanced in a skirmish line.

"Lao Wang, what's wrong, grenade, why don't you continue to throw grenades..."Seeing the deputy head of the regiment who came in a hurry, the regiment commander asked with a puzzled expression.

"Tuanza, there are no more grenades....I just used the grenades regardless of consumption, and the grenade reserves of the whole regiment have been exhausted. Now, in the hands of the brethren, there are not even a hundred grenades in their hands, except for bullets," replied the deputy head of the regiment.

"Oops, we're in trouble again. The little devil just wants to use this tactic to constantly consume our grenades. Then Bī forced us to rush out of our positions and fight them with bayonets..."

"Brethren, the time has come to decide life and death. Now I order, all of them are on the bayonet....a battalion, rush forward, and destroy the more than thirty little devils in front of you..."Without any hesitation, after a short period of shock, the regiment commander ordered with a murderous face......

"Brothers, kill devils... As soon as the regiment commander's words fell, the battalion commander waved the ghost head knife in his hand and was the first to jump out of the trench...

However, to everyone's surprise. Just when more than a hundred soldiers, under the command of the battalion commander, had just rushed out of their positions and were ready for white-knuckle combat. After the grenade exploded, the little devil who was only left with more than 30 people quickly lay on the ground, gave up the stabbing tactics he was good at, and began to use the rifle in his hand to constantly kill the charging soldiers. ,

At the same time, dozens of meters away, the light and heavy machine guns on the Japanese attack position also spewed out hot tongues of fire at the first time.

"Da ......" was hit by a dense fire net composed of dozens of tongues of fire. More than 100 soldiers who had just poured out of the position did not have time to make any reaction, and they fell in pools of blood.......

The final result was no surprise, under the strong blows of the Japanese army's advance step by step. The ** army of more than 600 people lasted less than two hours before the entire army was wiped out......

"Report to Your Excellency, Captain, that our 2nd Squadron has successfully occupied the ** position in China. At present, the second and third infantry squadrons, the mortar squadron, and the heavy machine gun squadron, are advancing along the Jiāo trench and rushing towards the second line of defense in China..."Inside the Japanese headquarters. Just when the captain was pacing back and forth in the tent, anxiously waiting. A communications soldier walked in quickly, and then reported loudly.

"Yo Xi, good play... Immediately convey my order, all the assault troops, under the unified command of the second squadron leader Captain Juntian, to advance to the second line of defense of China. In addition, the news of our army's breakthrough of the ** defense line in China was immediately reported to the division and regiment headquarters, and the division and regiment headquarters were pleaded with, and reinforcements were immediately sent to expand the results of the battle...."The captain's face was immediately enveloped by a thick smile. Then, with a jī face, he commanded.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Captain, I will go and deliver the order immediately..."

In the headquarters of the Japanese division and regiment about dozens of kilometers away from the front-line battlefield. Lieutenant General Teng Yi, commander of the division, has never left his eyes since the various units under the division and regiment launched a general offensive, and under the swing of more than a dozen combat staff officers, the enemy's and our forces have been deployed, and the huge combat sand table is constantly changing....

A few hours of attack, in the blink of an eye. Just when Lieutenant General Tengyi, róu róu's own sore eyes, was ready to return to his seat and take a good rest. A communications staff officer, Jī, rushed in and then reported loudly.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, good news... The Sixth Infantry Brigade of our division has just sent a telegram that after more than two hours of bloody fighting, the troops have successfully broken through the first line of defense in China at the cost of more than 400 brave men and wounded more than 400 brave men, and completely annihilated all the garrison units of about one infantry regiment. At present, the 6th Infantry Brigade, with the strength of two infantry squadrons, a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron, is taking advantage of the victory to pursue and advance to the second line of defense in China. ”

"Yo Xi, after more than two hours of waiting, I finally waited for a good news....The Sixth Infantry Brigade, well fought, fought too well. Chief of Staff, which reserve unit of the division belongs to which is closest to the Sixth Infantry Brigade..."For a moment, the division commander, Lieutenant General Teng Yi's eyes, which were still sore just now, immediately showed a hint of sharpness. Walked quickly to the sand table, and asked the chief of staff beside him with a moving face.

"The two remaining infantry battalions of the 138th Infantry Wing are less than three kilometers away from the 6th Infantry Brigade. If you make a rapid march, it will only take half an hour......" pointed to the combat sand table in front of him, the chief of staff, introduced.

"Okay, order the 138th Infantry Wing, immediately attack, reinforce the 6th Infantry Brigade, and expand the breakthrough. At the same time, the results of our 6th Infantry Brigade should be reported to the Kwantung Army Headquarters immediately...", the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Teng Yi, decisively ordered.

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the division commander is wise, and the humble post will be done immediately..."

In the temporary headquarters of the 250,000 Kwantung Army, an operational staff officer hurriedly walked up to General Mitsu Ishiro, and with an excited expression, he said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the 13th Division of the Kwantung Army has good news...."

"Nani, the Thirteenth Division....Is it the telegram of the commander of the Tengyi Division?" Every time Mitsu is a general, he immediately puts his eyes on the map, the location of the 13th Division, and asks eagerly.

"The commander of the Tengyi Division reported that the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division had successfully broken through the current position in China. At present, the strength of an infantry wing, which, in accordance with the order of the commander of the Tengyi Division, reinforces the breakthrough and expands the gains made by the 6th Infantry Brigade...", the combat staff officer pointed to the map in front of him and reported...

Looking along the defensive line of the operational staff officer's fingers, the entire Hubei region, the defense line that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, was immediately divided into two with the decisive penetration of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division. At the same time, as the commander of the Kwantung Army with rich combat experience, looking at the latest map of the distribution of enemy forces on the combat map in front of him, a huge strategic concept also appeared in the mind of General Mitsu Jiro for the first time. , "Yo Xi, great, my Kwantung Army's chance to be ashamed has finally arrived. This time, I must rely on the existing strength of the Kwantung Army to completely annihilate the 300,000 jīng rui of the Kuomintang in China. Operational staff officer, immediately convey my order:

The air force immediately dispatched air force reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter the latest movements of all the leading units in the entire Hubei region. If there is any situation, immediately report it to the former enemy command ....

The 105th and 108th field divisions of the Kwantung Army were ordered to assemble immediately, abandon all heavy weapons, advance lightly, rush to the breakthrough opened by the 6th Infantry Brigade of the 13th Division, go deep into the rear of the ** defense line in China, occupy these two places respectively, and block the road for the ** troops to retreat to Sichuan and Chongqing....

Order all front-line combat units to slow down the offensive against the current ** troops, closely observe the specific movements of the ** troops in various localities, and report any situation immediately. After all the troops were in place, and all the 300,000 **jīng rui were surrounded by our army, the various troops attacked again and annihilated all the ** troops in Hubei in one fell swoop...

According to these three orders, pass them on immediately..."Pointing to the battle map in front of him, General Mitsu ordered very decisively.

"Ha Yi, the lowly will go and deliver the order immediately..."

Looking at the operational staff officer who was leaving quickly, General Mitsu immediately said to the temporary chief of staff beside him.

"Chief of Staff, immediately sort out the order I just made, form a battle plan, report to the General Headquarters of the Nanjing Imperial Army in China, and report to His Excellency the Prince for approval..."

"Hayi..."

In this way, along with the ** position that stretched for hundreds of kilometers, a small position was broken through. A huge net, which can encompass hundreds of thousands of troops, is rapidly opening to the entire Hubei region, and the 300,000 **jīng under the command of Chen Cheng are being opened.

At this moment, Chen Cheng, who was in command in Yichang, didn't know at all that it was about a light infantry division of the Kwantung Army. is rapidly advancing to his position, preparing to break through Yichang in one fell swoop, cutting off his retreat to Chongqing, Sichuan and other places.
