The heavens start from Changjin Lake

With the loss of one tank, the Japanese army's combat capabilities were greatly reduced, and they had to use infantry to charge.

Two of the previous machine gun fire points were knocked out by the Japanese. There were still some light machine guns left on the second row, which were more than enough to deal with the Japanese infantry. Although the veterans died, the squad leaders were still there. They inherited the veterans' will and began to make arrangements to deal with them. The means of Japanese infantry.

The machine gun fire point formed a crossfire. The little Japanese had terrible combat capabilities. In addition to the grenade launchers, they also arranged many soldiers around the machine gun fire point to keep an eye on the Japanese grenade launchers.

There was a violent explosion from a distance.

The deafening roar set off thousands of huge waves in the flat room area, one after another, rolling continuously.

"The company commander must have taken action. Brothers, work harder!"

Before Old Man Wang and Monkey could recover from the death of the veteran, they were pulled back.

The Japanese infantry came up. If you look carefully, you can see that there are still more than a hundred people. There are not many troops left in their second row. They are no match for these Japanese soldiers. But the explosions in the other direction are loud and the gunfire is not quiet. The remaining troops of a platoon are fighting the Japanese, and the company commander is also there.

They believed that the company commander would definitely be able to deal with the enemies in the other direction, and they just needed to hold on long enough.

However, the earth wall directly in front of them shattered, smoke and dust floated, and a tank rushed out of the ruins. Its tracks crushed the gravel on the ground and the severed limbs of the corpse. The dark barrel pointed upward, horizontally. Pressed over, the soldiers in the second row were frightened and panicked.

"Tank, the Japs have another tank!"

"Their infantry are coming."

"The platoon leader is dead, we can't retreat, fight!"

The remaining soldiers in the second row began to block the attack layer by layer. However, in order to seize the position, the Japanese invested a large amount of troops and two tanks. The heavy machine gun above the tank continued to spray muzzle flames. Anyone who resisted directly in front of the tank The soldiers of the national army were all suppressed by the heavy machine gun fire of the tanks.

The Japanese infantry was like a black river, following the Japanese tanks and rushing over like a torrent.

"Blow up the Japanese tanks!"

The soldiers of the second platoon realized that if the Japanese tanks were not blown up, their infantry would be able to follow the tanks and push them all the way to the river bank, and the position would no longer exist by then.

Soon, under spontaneous organization, a group of people formed a death squad. They tied cluster grenades to themselves and hid in the ruins of the road where Japanese tanks must pass.

"go!"

Gou WaZi pulled Old Man Wang and Monkey back.

Old Man Wang and Monkey kept turning their heads to look.

They could not see the situation on the front line, but they could tell from the fierce fighting and the deafening roars that those who stayed had chosen to fight the Japanese devils. The sound of gunshots and rumblings were behind them. It set off huge waves.

Whoosh.

A shell dragged out a long arc, and with a bang, it pierced into a house on the way they retreated. In an instant, the house that had not yet collapsed was swallowed up by the Japanese artillery fire and collapsed, causing The shock wave swept the three people away and fell heavily to the ground.

The gunfire behind them became more intense, and the Japanese tanks began to fire randomly. The shells dragged in long arcs and plunged into the ruins with a bang. The rubble and soil were lifted up.
"I'm going to see what's going on!"

Gouwazi felt that the gunshots behind him were getting smaller and smaller, and he felt a little depressed in his heart, not wanting to believe it, but the current situation was no longer a matter of whether he wanted to believe it or not.

Carrying the gun, Gouwazi carefully touched the back. Just after running more than 30 meters, a shell dragged a long tail flame and swallowed Gouwazi with a bang.

Old Man Wang and Monkey stared blankly at the rolled-up soil, which was black and red in color. They were stunned.

Gouwazi, who was leading them, was shot to death by a Japanese tank.

The two of them were stunned, more in disbelief.

The sky was getting darker.

The new company arrived at the front line and fought for most of the day, but it ended in this way of fighting.

But the Japanese attack was not over yet. They heard the sound of the Japanese tanks rolling over the ground, and accompanied by slight vibrations on the ground, the Japanese tanks had not been eliminated. The people of the second faction were probably almost dead.

"Monkey, let's go quickly."

Frightened, Old Man Wang immediately reacted, shouted, and prepared to escape with the monkey.

One of the monkey's legs was broken, and he was limping. It was difficult for him to run fast. He threw the grenade on the ground, trying to increase his running speed, but the broken leg could not use his strength. Old Man Wang Even with help, they couldn't run fast, and both of them were worried.

boom!
Gunshots were heard behind them, getting closer and closer to them.

The Japs caught up.

"Are they dead?"

Old Man Wang couldn't suppress the panic in his heart. He turned his head and glanced, almost scared out of his wits.

Several Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms were chasing them with guns. These Japanese soldiers were running and shooting, and the bullets hit the ruins behind them.

The monkey couldn't run anymore. The broken leg was badly injured and the blood was flowing continuously.

"Old man Wang, run away, I can't run away." The monkey's face showed despair: "We ran all the way, but we didn't run out, we still stayed in the position."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Old Man Wang cursed angrily: "Get up and keep running."

"I can't run anymore. I really can't run anymore. The big guy is right. We should pick up our guns and fight the Japanese. We can't run." The monkey's face showed calmness: "Run, wherever you can go." Woolen cloth."

Fumbling around on his body, he found three grenades.

"Old man Wang, you run away first, I'll stay and wean you off."

"Stinky boy."

Old man Wang lay on the ground and carefully poked out half of his head to take a look, with joy on his face: "They are not dead yet. Look, there are still people beating the Japanese."

boom!A grenade fell in the ruins ahead, and the exploded soil and rubble flew everywhere. Old man Wang carefully observed it. After watching it for a while, he saw the Japanese soldiers being attracted by the gunshots from the side. They are not done dying yet, they are still resisting.

But what followed was a burst of fear. From among the broken rubble and ruins, a long barrel stretched out.

Japanese tanks.

This iron bastard can't even blow up a grenade.

Old Man Wang saw a soldier hiding in the ruins ahead, with a grenade tied to his body. The Japanese tank was approaching. He jumped out of the ruins and rushed towards the Japanese tank. Two Japanese infantrymen Found him, shouted, and bullets hit the soldier.

When he was still seven or eight meters away from the Japanese tank, he fell down and lay on the ground.

Old Man Wang saw that he was not dead yet and was still breathing. The soldier scratched the ground with his hands and crawled forward, watching him clenching his fists hard.

As if feeling life passing by, there was a loud bang.

He fired the grenade on his body, and the black and red soil rolled up and fell on the Japanese tanks.

Another Chinese soldier rushed out of the broken street. As before, the Japanese were already prepared. When they saw this soldier, the heavy machine gun on the tank opened fire and fired at them all. The large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets penetrated This soldier's body.

The bullet was so powerful that it hit a person and directly emptied the person's stomach. From here, you can see the ruins on the other side.

The veteran looked horrified, but more importantly, angry.

These soldiers all came from Jiading, and many of them knew each other. They had talked with each other on the way, and they all wanted to chase the big guy and fight with him. He even bragged to them, telling them that he knew the big guy. , came out of a village.

These soldiers looked at them with envy. Some soldiers would ask if they came from a village where the God of War fought so hard. Would they be as powerful as the God of War?

But now, on the battlefield, these soldiers are dying one by one, they are much braver than him.

Old Man Wang saw that the soldier's body was beaten to pieces, he retracted helplessly, holding the grenade on his body, looking at the desperate monkey beside him, his mind was in a blur, he didn't know what he was thinking, seeing such Many people have died. The previous fear has not changed at all now. It seems that death is just like that.

He even had the idea of ​​using grenades on his body to blow up Japanese tanks.

This idea shocked Old Man Wang.

He sat on the ground with a confused expression on his face.

"Old man Wang, run away quickly. If you don't run, you won't be able to escape." Monkey pressed his broken leg with one hand and held the grenade in his arms with the other. He heard the roar of the Japanese tank, which was far away from them. The hiding position was getting closer and closer, and the monkey began to feel anxious. The Japanese tanks were getting closer and closer.

The roar came closer and closer to where the two of them were hiding.

The monkey turned his head and wanted to say something, but couldn't see Old Man Wang. He quickly stood up and found that Old Man Wang had touched the base of the low wall in front of him. He immediately became anxious. Japanese tanks were walking along the broken street. He pressed over and opened his mouth anxiously. He saw the Japanese in khaki military uniforms getting closer and closer, and he was extremely anxious.

Old Man Wang moved, and the Japanese tank approached, but the little Japanese did not notice him. Several Japanese Japs moved forward along the ruins on both sides, generally with the tank as the center. Old Man Wang hid in the corners, and suddenly He jumped out. Even though he was old, he was not slow at all in running.

In a few breaths, he reached five or six meters away from the Japanese tank. The Japanese found Old Man Wang appearing on the flank of the tank. The machine gun could not hit him. When the infantry fired, it was already too late, and the bullet hit Old Man Wang in the abdomen. , beat him to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Monkey's eyes were about to burst, and the pain in his thighs stimulated him. The Japanese infantry made him wary, and he bit his lips with his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound.

He stared at Old Man Wang.Old Man Wang was shot, lying on the ground, still squirming. Monkey felt like he was meeting Old Man Wang for the first time. He had never seen Old Man Wang like this before, and he was even more shocked by Old Man Wang.

Is this still the old man Wang who is greedy for life and afraid of death?
The tank rolled over the rubble on the ground and crushed it into powder. Old Man Wang fell down five or six meters away from the tank. The Japanese tank soldiers did not notice Old Man Wang under the tank at all. The tank rolled over and made a huge roar. .

"what!"

Old Man Wang crawled forward two meters. The tank pressed down on his arm, grinding it into pulp and breaking the bones into powder. Old Man Wang's forehead was covered with fine sweat and his face was ferocious. Without thinking, he used his other hand. He grabbed the grenade on his body and pulled it away hard.

Hearing the sound of the grenade under his body, Old Man Wang suddenly felt relaxed all over.

bang.

A bunch of grenades gathered together, and the force created easily destroyed the tracks of the tank.Due to the metal impact, the tank's tracks broke and it was unable to move forward.

The huge shock also knocked the three Japanese infantrymen behind the tank to the ground, wondering whether they were alive or dead.

The monkey's eyes widened and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Wang, old man Wang."

The sky darkened.

The battle is over.

The Japanese army has not yet captured the newly formed company's position, but the news passed through the communications troops of the [-]th Army indicates that the garrison positions in other directions along the Dijing River have basically fallen. This means that the entire Dijing River is still in the hands of the national army. Of the positions, only the positions occupied by the new company remained.

Their results were also quite fruitful.

Two Japanese squadrons were eliminated, five medium tanks were blown up, and a large number of guns and ammunition, as well as Japanese grenades and light machine guns were seized.

However, after several rounds of crazy attacks and bombings by the Japanese army, only one squad of soldiers remained in the new company.

This position, like a star in the dark night, became the only piece of pure land among the Japanese positions on the other side of the [-]th Division stationed along the Dijing River.

Knowing that the new company suffered heavy casualties, that night, the [-]th Division dispatched reinforcements. They quietly crossed the river through the river beach, arrived at the other side, and met up with the new company. The arrival of the reinforcements allowed the remaining soldiers of the new company to Highly motivated.

While arranging the wounded, Xia Yuan began to prepare for defense.

The newly reinforced troops were only one company, with more than 120 people. The weapons and equipment were quite good. Each man had a rifle and three light machine guns. There were enough bullets. Xia Yuan seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, which shocked these Cantonese army brothers. Especially when I heard that they had eliminated more than 400 enemies, including five tanks, I was shocked and speechless.

Communication is somewhat difficult, but their goals are the same.

The brothers from the Guangdong Army gave Xia Yuan a thumbs up, and Xia Yuan responded cheerfully. After arranging the wounded, he found the body of the victim, borrowed some people from the brothers from the Guangdong Army, and buried the body in the ruins on the spot.

He lit a cigarette, handed it to the monkey, and said: "The deceased is the most important person, so I won't say anything about Old Man Wang. He actually impressed me before he died."

The monkey took the cigarette tremblingly. He was no longer as naughty and lively as before, but a little heavier. He asked: "Big man, you have lost so many people, don't you feel bad?"

This question stopped Xia Yuan. He smoked a cigarette, squinted his eyes, took a long breath, and said, "I feel bad. It's normal for people to die in war. No one will live forever. I am no exception. It's just that compared to others, Most people, I'm just lucky."

He finished the cigarette in one gulp, threw it on the ground, watched the cigarette butt gradually dim, and took a long breath.

"They all sacrificed their lives to blow up the Japanese tanks. If you could have arrived earlier, they would not have died, including the second platoon leader." Monkey raised his head and looked at Xia Yuan: "The second platoon leader did not let us die. In the end, Old Man Wang went to blow up the Japanese tanks himself. If it weren’t for Old Man Wang, the position would have been lost long ago.”

"I know that I asked the second platoon leader to do this. He did a good job. I just hope he doesn't blame me when he leaves."

"You!" The monkey's eyes widened: "You didn't even think about letting us die?"

"Think about it."

"Then why are you."

"Why don't we just let you and Old Man Wang die? Hehe, you two have no combat experience at all. If you rush forward, your sacrifice will be in vain. I only tell the veteran to teach you how to fight."

"But he used his own life to perish with the Japanese."

"He's doing a great job."

Xia Yuan touched the pocket on his clothes, took out a bullet, held it in his hand, looked at the hole dug by the soldiers and buried the body, he stepped forward, placed the bullet next to a body, and let the body be buried. The bullets were buried together with the corpses of the new company soldiers.

"He didn't have to do this. He was the platoon leader."

"It's just because he is the platoon leader that he did this." Xia Yuan didn't want to argue with the monkey about such meaningless things. On the battlefield, there will inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifices. When the Japanese devils used tanks, he already knew in his heart that it was just He didn't expect that the veteran would be a pioneer and set an example for the soldiers in the second platoon.

The veteran followed him, and he probably had this idea for a long time.

He recalled that veterans often held guns, sat on rocks and smoked, looking fixedly into the distance.

Walking to the monkey, Xia Yuan stopped: "The Japanese invaders will kill tens of millions of people in China. Our battle loss ratio with the Japanese army is seven to one. We have to kill seven people to kill one Japanese." So far, the new company has killed more than 1000 Japanese soldiers and sacrificed more than 200 people. The battle loss ratio has reached five to one. Five Japanese soldiers have to die to replace one of us."

He looked at the monkey: "Such a battle loss ratio was obtained by me, the veteran, Niu Qian, and the sacrificed soldiers of the new company. The Japanese will have to pay the price if they want to capture our position."

Xia Yuan dropped these words and left.

Is Di Jing's battle meaningful?

Yes, as long as it is a battle to stop the Japanese army, it is meaningful.

The goal of the Songhu Battle was to delay the Japanese attack and drag them into the quagmire.

Whether it is the central army or the local motley army, their goals are the same.

The same is true for the new company.

Even if the Japanese will eventually occupy the banks of the Dijing River, as long as they are delayed for one day, it will be a one-day victory.

What's more, if the Japanese army wants to knock down the new company's position, it will have to pay huge sacrifices.

Just in the southeast of Luodian, the battle entered a fierce stage.

The Japanese reinforcements have also arrived at the Songhu battlefield. The Japanese army's strength on the Songhu battlefield has reached the size of five divisions, nearly 10 people.

Since the Japanese No. 11 Division could not attack the line from Luodian to Jiading for a long time, Matsui Iwane decided to change direction.

His next plan was to launch an assault from north to south along the Hu-Taiwan Highway as the main axis, achieve a breakthrough between Nanxiang and Jiangwan, and then seize Dachang and the north bank of the Suzhou River in the urban area of ​​Shanghai.

This plan is the "Central Breakthrough", which concentrates superior troops and firepower to penetrate the national army's defensive front from one point, and then spreads throughout the center.

The first thing the Japanese army faced was to forcefully cross Zhongzaobang.

Zhizaobang.

The brutal battle of Hazaobang is about to begin.

When Xia Yuan defended Dijing, reinforcements from three Japanese divisions arrived one after another. The first to arrive at the Songhu battlefield was the Japanese [-]st Division, followed by the Japanese [-]th Division. These two After the division assembled, it began to move south along the Hu-Taiwan Highway and marched towards Zongzaobang.

On the 23th.

The sky was covered with dark clouds.

The Japanese No. 11 Division continued to attack southeast of Luodian. The Dijing position held by Xia Yuan was the first to be bombed by the Japanese.

The incendiary bombs landed among the ruins along the Dijing River and burned violently.

A new round of battle has begun.

The monkey who experienced the death of Old Man Wang also began to pick up a gun and fight with the Japanese. Although he was a new soldier and had not been on the battlefield very much, he had seen the previous brutal battles. In order to let him survive, Old Man Wang even hugged him. Use grenades to blow up Japanese tanks.

When the monkey arrived on the battlefield, he brought a fierceness with him. This fierceness made him not feel afraid when facing the Japanese on the battlefield.

On the position held by the [-]th Division, there was a house with white walls, which the Japanese called "White Walled House".

The Chinese army dug through all the lower parts of the White Wall House and built a solid fortress. The attacking Japanese army used a large number of tanks, infantry, and artillery to bombard and attack the White Wall House in turns, but they failed. Able to capture the White Wall House.

The Japanese army who attacked Baibi House also discovered that the bullets used by the Chinese army who defended Baibi House caused huge damage to the Japanese army. The Japanese army initially believed that the Chinese army used dum bombs.

The DUM bullet is a type of bullet made by the British. It is also commonly known as "explosive bullet", "shrapnel bullet" and "body-deforming bullet". It is an "expansion type" that does not have penetrating power but has extremely high shallow lethality. bullet.

Later, the Japanese army seized some bullets carried by the national army soldiers and only then solved this mystery.

It turned out that when the soldiers of the Chinese army were fighting, they found that the range of the Chinese rifles was not as good as the Japanese Type [-] rifle. Some veterans began to compete with the Japanese in terms of lethality. They ground their bullets on stones. After grinding a sandy surface, the bullet will somersault after entering the body, expanding the wound and killing range.

It seems that the Chinese soldiers used their own wisdom, but it is actually quite sad. As a large agricultural country, it is still in a chaotic and turbulent era. The national defense industry cannot keep up and the weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japanese army, so this method has to be adopted. (End of chapter)
