Chapter 157: The Sharp Steel Spear (Subscription Requested)
The night slowly darkened. God is very helpful, tonight not only the moonlight is dim, but not a single star in the sky can be seen, some soldiers in the army who know how to read the sky said that such a night sky means that there will be a heavy rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
This is good news for the volunteers, if the rain falls in time, not only can the Japanese army be prevented from pursuing them, but in the upcoming blocking battle at the buried ridge, little Japan will also lose time.
Yang Xiaolin's gaze looked ahead, as if he wanted to penetrate this dark curtain to see if there was any movement between Feng Delin and Qian Yao in the distance, and Biao Zi stood beside him and looked ahead. Both of them were in a little nervous, and when it was eight o'clock in the evening, a gunshot finally rang out from the northwest direction of Windy City, and then the skyrocketing fire came into Yang Xiaolin's eyes from that direction.
Yang Xiaolin could hear from the sound of gunfire on the battlefield that the surprise attack of the volunteers was very sudden, and the gunfire was rapidly approaching him in a short period of time.
"Biaozi! Rush out! Rush out now! ”
There really aren't many opportunities, just in this moment. If the Japanese had reacted, they would have been able to see the intentions of the Volunteers immediately, and it would have been absolutely impossible to kill them from among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops at that time.
So the time left for Yang Xiaolin was only a few minutes.
Biaozi didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered to use all the firepower of the three regiments to bombard the Japanese troops outside the north gate, and at the same time the city gate was opened, and the second pole rushed out with more than 200 people!
Not only are the Iron Corps as hard as steel when defending, but their bayonets are as sharp as steel when they charge!
The second pole is an old fritter on the battlefield. Such a person may not have much theoretical knowledge, but his experience is much more useful than theoretical knowledge!
The troops who rushed out did not have any company platoons at all, and there were no sharp soldiers to open the way. The fifty soldiers who rushed to the front were each with a light machine gun, and the smoke covering them had not yet cleared. Rushing quickly towards the Japanese position, the tongue of fire of the light machine gun strafed in all directions, although the number was small, but it suppressed all the firepower of the Japanese brigade on the opposite side at once!
More than forty soldiers who followed them rushed towards the Japanese position, all of them with grenades hanging from their bodies, and only a pistol pinned to their waists except for a large knife behind their backs.
Then, when the opponent's position was more than 50 meters away, the Japanese heavy machine guns began to shoot at those hazy figures, but the heavy machine guns only rang out a few times, and four or five soldiers followed the position of the tongue of fire. Hit the machine gun with a shoulder-fired unconscionable shell, and the machine gun was smashed dumb in one fell swoop.
The charging soldiers of the Volunteers desperately threw grenades at the heads of the Japanese soldiers, shouting and killing. When they entered the Japanese position, they pulled out the pistols on their waists, drew the big knives on their backs, and killed the little Japanese together.
When the enemy came with a bayonet, they slashed away. The backhand is a shot through. If little Japan was farther away, they would blow it up with grenades.
Although the captain of the Japanese brigade defending here bravely organized the soldiers to resist, the gap in their defense line continued to grow larger and larger, until the captain was killed by a soldier with a single shot, and the volunteers behind him also rushed up.
It took only one charge and two poles to tear open the gap in the frontal line of defense. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he only had one chance to impact. That's why Biaozi gave him all the light machine guns, and if he couldn't rush out once, the little Japanese would immediately surround him, and they didn't have time to organize a second charge at all.
Only a quick kill out of the interception line. Let the pace of little Japan's mobilization of troops not keep up with itself, in order to break out of the enemy's encirclement!
After jumping into the enemy's first interception position, the second pole did not stop at all to look at his results. I didn't go to see the dead and wounded of my brothers, and after arranging two heavy machine guns and a few snipers to suppress the enemy counterattacking on both sides, I rushed to the second line of interception of the Japanese army! …,
After the first line of defense is lost. The Japanese troops in the second line of defense looked a little panicked, but the reaction speed of little Japan was still quite fast, and at this time Nogi Noshinori's order was conveyed, he wanted the Japanese troops in the second line of defense to defend to the death, and they were not allowed to abandon their positions under any circumstances, and at the same time told the Japanese troops here that the soldiers who retreated from the first line of defense were about to be executed!
This made the Japanese troops guarding the second line of defense have no way to retreat, and their combat is very tenacious, but the dark night has helped the volunteers a lot, and in the case of visibility of less than a few tens of meters, the Japanese marksmanship can not play much at all.
On the contrary, their guns were quickly bombarded by their shoulder-fired guns without conscience, so even if they were brave, they were helpless against the grenades that kept coming from the front.
The second line of defense is the same as the first line of defense, and the second pole cuts in very smoothly, but when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, these little Japanese do not retreat, which brings heavy casualties to the second pole.
Biaozi was obviously calculating in advance at this time, and when the second pole was too small in number and had no hope of breaking through the third line of defense of the Japanese army, Weihui came up with the third battalion. There are not many people in the third battalion, but together with the first battalion, there are still more than 300 people.
The second pole's heart was overjoyed, and here in the second line of defense he rested for a little two minutes, took a sip of water, took a few breaths, and then continued to attack.
The speed of the Volunteers' attack surprised Nogi Noshinori, and the news of the Volunteers' surprise attack came from behind for only ten minutes, and the Volunteers in the city had broken through two lines of defense in a row, and at the same time, the enemy behind had advanced for about three or four miles.
Now the distance between the two Volunteers is less than a kilometer, and there are still three lines of defense on this kilometer position, one of which is used by the Volunteers to defend against Japanese attacks, which is very strong, but Nogi Noshinori doesn't know if he can stop these guys.
The teams on both sides were pressing, and when they pressed towards the city gate, the opponent broke through the first line of defense, and when they pressed towards the first line, the opponent broke through the second line of defense. The Japanese always seem to be one step behind the Volunteers.
The purpose of the volunteers in the city was very clear, they had no intention of breaking the Japanese defenses, and they did not have the ability to do so. Now this time the guy is rushing forward, tearing a gap and rushing through. Try to rendezvous with the militia that came from outside the city.
Nogi Noshinori was in a very bad mood, he didn't expect the attack power of the volunteers to be so strong, and he didn't expect that Yang Dagui still had reinforcements outside! You must know that the Japanese army of nearly 200,000 troops besieged Windy City for nearly ten days, how many people were defending Windy City by Yang Dagui?
The Japanese paid more than 14,000 casualties for the attack on Windy City, and it would be a great shame for Nogi Noshinori to be escaped from the Five Finger Mountain that he was holding tightly!
He kept roaring loudly in the headquarters: "Hold the line! The next one is the defense line of Songin United, let them hold it, they must hold it! ”
The Songren Wing is a long-established wing of the Japanese Army. Most of the soldiers of this wing came from the poor Hokkaido region of Japan. For these soldiers, presenting themselves on the battlefield is an opportunity for them to change their poverty.
None of these soldiers had any intention of letting the Volunteers go without the Commander's order.
The second pole was strongly blocked here. When he appeared in the field of vision of these Japanese, the distance between the two sides was only 50 meters, and in order to cross this 50-meter distance, the two poles paid more than 80 casualties.
He himself was shot by the Japanese, and the bullet came in from the left side of the second pole and went out from the right side through the mouth! …,
The whole face was already a blur of flesh and blood. There are three air leaks in one mouth, which makes it difficult for others to hear the second pole speak. There was no way, so he handed over the task of commanding the battle to Wei Hui, and he acted as a spearhead himself, and continued to kill the Japanese.
The two flesh on their faces were dripping with blood. His roar had become so different that it sounded terrifying in the night.
After jumping into the Japanese position, the two poles raised their pistols and killed two Japanese soldiers who were trying to assassinate him. Looking around, I heard a Japanese man shouting something not far away. He immediately pulled out his grenade and beckoned several people around him to do the same.
Even the brothers finally understood what he meant, and more than a dozen people took out the grenades at the same time, pulled them together, and went out to that place together!
The Japanese wing commander didn't even have a chance to dodge, and was blown up by two poles. The second pole immediately noticed that the Japanese were in disarray, and he immediately seized the opportunity to widen the gap and press the little Japan down on both sides.
When Biaozi rushed up, he saw Weihui directing the battle, and he was panicked in his heart, for fear that something would happen to this guy with two poles, and the two poles grabbed him next to Biaozi and called him several times.
It wasn't until Weihui introduced Biaozi that Biaozi took a closer look and realized that this was really his brother.
"Oh brother, why are you like this? You okay? ”
The second pole shook his head and pointed his hand forward. Biao Zi looked forward along the hand of the second pole, and saw that the fire was rising not far from him, and the sound of guns was very intense, thinking that Qian Yao and Tang Yulin had killed him.
The second pole pointed to Biaozi's team again, and then grabbed Weihui and waved his hand at Biaozi. That means that the two of them are really not good, and now they are only one step away, and Biaozi must rush up with the second battalion by himself.
Biaozi looked at the appearance of the second pole, and he really couldn't bear to let him go up again, so he pulled out his pistol at the moment: "You two are here to press the Japanese who are chasing after me, you remember to ensure the safety of the commander-in-chief, and you can follow in a while!" ”
The second pole nodded, and Wei Hui said on the side: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, with us here, we will definitely not let the commander-in-chief get hurt!" ”
Yang Xiaolin's expression was a little unnatural in the back. Truth be told, he wasn't used to being protected yet. Like Tai Wangu, he was already a little tired of following him every day, if it wasn't for Chen Tianhua and others to stop him, Commander Yang would have wanted Tai Wangu to come back and bring the troops again.
It's the same on the battlefield, he is used to charging under the scene of artillery fire, originally he wanted to take a gun and fight with the three regiments, but now Biaozi has people to protect him, which makes him a little embarrassed.
I knew that I shouldn't have stayed in Windy City. Fortunately, the night is very dark now, and the surrounding soldiers can't see Commander Yang's face clearly, and no one knows about Yang Xiaolin's embarrassment.
After Biaozi finished speaking, he led his people to rush forward, and fifteen minutes later, the Japanese position in front was broken through by the front and rear flanks.
Nogi Noshinori can't help it even if he is very unwilling, but war is like this, and you can't change it if you are unwilling. When Biaozi and Qian Yao converged, the breakthrough of the volunteers could no longer be stopped.
Of course, Nogi Noshinori could send a large army to follow behind, but in a land with an unfamiliar geographical environment, in this dark night, blind pursuit may cause you to suffer greater losses.
Nogi chose to stop wisely, and he also needed to regroup the Japanese troops that had been scattered by the Volunteers.
The two-hour battle caused the Japanese army to suffer nearly 2,000 casualties, the Third Army was 60,000 when it went out, and the Fourth Army later had 130,000 troops, and now it has suffered more than 16,000 casualties, and these more than 16,000 corpses were exchanged for an empty Windy City.
