The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 149 No.16 Alliance, finished
After burying the coalition flag, He Wei loaded the speed machine in his hand with bullets, and rushed out to fight with the Japanese army again. After capturing the Japanese army flag, He Wei's fighting will became stronger, and he held the gun and fought again. Fighting with the Japanese army.

The battle has now entered a white-hot stage. The strength comparison between the two sides is almost the same. However, the Japanese army's stabbing skills and physical strength are superior after all. Therefore, the Chinese army has suffered heavy casualties, especially the newly reinforced third party. Battalion, fought miserably with the Japanese army. He Wei saw with his own eyes Liu Zuotang, the commander of the [-]th Company of the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, pulled two Japanese soldiers and fired grenades and died together. A platoon leader of the [-]th Company was hit by two Japanese bayonets on his back. His body was riddled with holes, but he firmly grabbed a Japanese soldier and bit open the Japanese soldier's throat with his teeth.

Whether it was the Chinese army or the Japanese army, every soldier fought desperately with red eyes against the enemies they could see in front of them. Some Japanese soldiers whose legs and feet were blown off in the explosions were lying in and out of the trenches from the beginning of the battle, crying. Blood, while watching the two sides fight, a happy death has long become a luxury for them. They can do nothing. Either they will be trampled to death by the fighting soldiers of the two armies in the melee, or they can only wait. He bleeds out and dies miserably.

Xiong Mancang, the cooking squad leader of the Sixth Company, wielded a kitchen knife and slashed everywhere, but not a single Japanese soldier was hit. When the charge was launched, he rushed to the front. He knew that today, whether it was a combat soldier or a cooking soldier, , he was going to risk his life to fight. For so many years as a soldier, he had been rolling around on the stove and never killed anyone.

Today, Xiong Mancang vowed to kill a Japanese soldier, but after he and his brothers in the cooking class fought with the Japanese army, the brothers soon fell down. When several of them met, all the brothers in the cooking class were killed. The devil stabbed him down.

He knew he was not good at using a gun, so he picked up the kitchen knife he usually used to kill pigs, but until now, he hadn't even cut off a single Japanese hair.

Xiong Mancang swore that he would kill a Japanese soldier today even if he died. He ran around and rushed around, and finally saw two Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers also saw him, and the two Japanese soldiers rushed towards him with Sanba Gai. Coming over, Xiong Mancang shouted, raised his kitchen knife and rushed forward, but before the knife was released, the bayonets of two [-] rifles had already pierced his body.

Xiong Mancang fell forward with force and strangled a Japanese soldier's neck. Just like he usually did when killing pigs, he put the kitchen knife into the Japanese soldier's chest, skillfully twisted it and then pulled it out. Then he fell to the ground and put his mouth in his mouth. Blistering with blood, he slowly closed his eyes and murmured: "This damn thing is just like killing a pig."

Until now, the communication trenches were filled with corpses of both armies. In some places where the fighting was fierce, corpses even filled up the trenches, making it impossible to pass. Many soldiers on both sides were fighting until they found that there was no way out. Come on, the trenches are full of corpses, internal organs, weapon parts, and blood, and there's not even a place to put your feet on.

He Wei, with a speed machine in one hand and a saber in the other, fought crazily with the Japanese army. At this time, he was ready to die in battle, but before dying in battle, he must take away a few more Japanese soldiers to be buried with him. Tao Heiwa followed Behind He Wei, he kept loading bullets, shooting, loading bullets, and shooting again. The two cooperated with each other. After killing more than a dozen Japanese soldiers along the way, they were blocked at the corner of the trench by three Japanese soldiers.

"Hei Wa, hide behind me!"

He Wei raised his saber and gave Tao Heiwa a look. Tao Heiwa, who had received He Wei's meaning, hid behind He Wei and used He Wei to block herself. However, he quietly reached into his backpack and took out two rows of seven points. [-] mm Mauser pistol bullets loaded into the rifle.

"idiot!"

Three Japanese soldiers rushed over. He Wei turned sideways, and Tao Heiwa went up and fired randomly. The Japanese soldiers did not expect that the Chinese child soldier in front of them was so ungrateful. Two of them were killed on the spot. Another Japanese soldier watched. Seeing this situation, he was stunned for a moment, but He Wei seized the opportunity and rushed forward and hacked him to death.

"The platoon leader!"

As soon as He Wei drew out his knife, he heard Tao Heiwa's cry for help. A Japanese soldier stabbed a Chinese soldier to death. He jumped down from the top of the trench with a bayonet in hand and pounced on Tao Heiwa. He Wei rushed over and blocked the way. The Japanese bayonet penetrated deeply into He Wei's left shoulder. He Wei cursed. His left shoulder was scratched by a bullet from the Japanese army when he was snatching the regiment flag, and now he was stabbed again!

The Japanese soldier wanted to pull out his gun, but He Wei tightly grasped the front guard of the [-] cover. In desperation, the Japanese soldier pulled the trigger, and a [-]mm bullet penetrated He Wei. Wei's left shoulder, and then kicked away by He Wei. He Wei pulled out his bayonet, removed the bullet casing from his rifle, and shot the Japanese soldier to death with a backhand shot.

"Platoon commander, are you okay?"

When Tao Heiwa saw that He Wei was injured, he immediately ran to help He Wei and took He Wei into an empty bunker. He Wei checked the wound and took a shot, but the bullet passed through and did not hit. On the bone, Tao Heiwa immediately took out the first aid kit, sprinkled some powder and wrapped He Wei's wound with gauze.

Boom
The sound of grenades exploding was heard not far away, and another soldier chose the tactic of killing the enemy with grenades. He Wei looked around and saw more and more Chinese soldiers falling. Although the Japanese army was also decreasing, But if this trend continues, the best outcome would be for both sides to lose everything.

If they want to kill all the Japanese soldiers, there will not be many Chinese officers and soldiers left on the position. And as the fighting time increases, the Japanese army has gradually gained the upper hand. It is very likely that before they can kill all the Japanese soldiers, these brothers on the position will have to fight. Light it up first.

Perhaps, his journey through time has really come to an end today. He Wei has tried his best to do what he can. In the original history, Yanzhuang was lost long ago, but through his own efforts, Yanzhuang is still here today. In the hands of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army relied on Yanzhuang, it inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army. Thinking that he was about to leave this world, He Wei had no regrets, no fear, only regrets. He was not afraid of death, whether in his previous life or this life. , death has never been far away from He Wei.

Before time travel, what he did was lick blood with the tip of a knife, put bullets on his head, and run grenades in his crotch. His profession was to earn a high salary by working hard.

He Wei just regrets that his position is not high enough, that his time here is too short, that his time is not enough, that he cannot do more, change more, and train to build a strong army. to defeat the invaders.

At this point, He Wei loaded the last row of pistol bullets in his hand into the speed machine, raised the [-] cover, and was about to rush out and fight the Japanese army to the end.

Suddenly, bursts of high-spirited charge horns broke He Wei's contemplation. The horns were different from the past. They were definitely not blown by one charge horn, but at least by a dozen buglers.

Accompanying the sound of the charge horn were shouts of killing that shot straight into the sky. Many soldiers in the position suddenly cheered, shouting that reinforcements had arrived, reinforcements had arrived.

He Wei rushed out of the bunker and saw that behind Yanzhuang, there were probably more than a thousand national army officers and soldiers launching a counterattack against Yanzhuang's position!
A German-made steel helmet and a sharp Chinese-style rifle bayonet emitted a strange light under the reflection of the sun. These brothers obviously rushed out from the main position of the [-]th Division near Dabaishui and walked along the back of Yanzhuang. In the open space, they directly launched a counterattack towards the Sixth Company's position.

"Brothers, charge, go up!"

Liu Mingxia, commander of the 28th Regiment of the 57th Brigade of the [-]th Division, waved his revolver and led his team to charge in the open field. As the commander of the regiment, he could clearly see the fighting situation at the Yanzhuang position of the [-]th Company. When the battle turned into hand-to-hand combat, At that time, Liu Mingxia understood that the position outside Yanzhuang could no longer support it. Once the Yanzhuang position was lost, the Japanese army would launch an attack on the main position of Dabaishui defended by the [-]th Division.

He immediately prepared for reinforcements, but he did not have enough troops on hand. There were three infantry battalions of the 57th Regiment, and the second battalion only had one sixth company left to serve as the absolute main defense in front. Zhang Yongbin's third battalion had already been thrown in, and Liu Mingxia only had A broken [-]st Infantry Battalion.

At the critical moment, Chen Munong, commander of the No. 20 Eighth Brigade, made a prompt decision and transferred an infantry battalion from the friendly Eighth Regiment. Liu Mingxia used a battalion from the friendly army, the first battalion of the 57th Regiment, as well as regimental cooks, servicemen, and support The cavalry and other miscellaneous soldiers formed a reinforcement force of 1000 people. They set off from the main position of Dabaishui and rushed straight to the position of the sixth company!
"Kill!"

The shouts of killing from the reinforcements resounded through the sky. Most of the officers and soldiers who rushed up had not participated in a battle for several days, so they got a good rest. However, the officers and soldiers also knew in their hearts that their short-term peace was for the brothers guarding Yanzhuang. In exchange for life and flesh and blood.

Therefore, after receiving the order to reinforce Yanzhuang, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted. In the center of the assault queue of thousands of people, the captain adjutant of the 57th regiment held high the regiment flag of the 57th regiment and guided the reinforcements to attack.

In today's battle, both the Chinese and Japanese armies unanimously chose to use military flags to boost morale and guide the troops to attack. The regimental flag system of the Chinese army happened to be learned from the Japanese regiment flag system, embroidered with "Army Tenth The red background and blue heart military flag with the designation of "Division 28 Brigade 57 Regiment" emits a strange light under the reflection of the sun.

Like many military systems and tactical outlines, the Chinese Army is also a student of the Japanese Army in terms of the regimental flag system. However, in today's battle, the students defeated the teachers. The regimental flag of the 57th Regiment is still flying in the wind, while the infantry No. The flag of the .16 Regiment was taken away by He Wei and buried in a dark and dark bunker.

"Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill them!"

He Wei climbed up the bunker, stepped on the top of the bunker, brandished his rifle, and shouted condescendingly to the fighting brothers. When he saw reinforcements coming, the morale of the brothers on the position was greatly boosted, and they fought to the death with the Japanese army. When the fight started, He Wei raised his head and jumped off the bunker, fighting left and right.Some people have high morale, while others have fallen into despair.

When Captain Goto Juro of the Infantry No. 16 Regiment saw the Chinese reinforcements rushing in like a tide, his heart was filled with despair. Goto Juro just looked at the Chinese reinforcements quietly and put down the bloody saber in his hand, quietly and calmly. He sat on the ground, as if he was not on the battlefield, gave up fighting, and just quietly watched the Chinese reinforcements rushing over.

Suddenly, a Chinese soldier rushed over with a bayonet. Goto Juro still turned a blind eye. Just when the bayonet was about to penetrate Goto Juro's chest, a bullet knocked down the Chinese soldier. The infantryman No. 16 Infantry Regiment was covered in blood. The captain of the Third Battalion shot the Chinese soldier to death with a Southern-style pistol, and then said to Juro Goto with a sad face: "Captain, retreat quickly. Reinforcements from the Chinese army are coming. If we don't retreat, we will kill the whole army." Overturned."

Goto Juro calmly looked at the only remaining major captain under his command, the three major captains of the Infantry No. 16 Regiment. During the charge, the captain of the [-]st Battalion died in an air strike, and the captain of the [-]nd Battalion died. He was stabbed to death by Chinese soldiers in the hand-to-hand combat just now.

Goto Juro remained silent, his heart filled with despair, numbness, and sadness. All kinds of emotions were intertwined, and he could no longer say a word. It was the inch of ground under his feet that forcibly blocked the infantry No. 16 Regiment. An elite infantry regiment was almost exhausted. He didn't want to say anything, he only felt a breath holding in his chest.

Suddenly, a surge of heat surged up in his throat, and Gotojuro spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Co-captain, your Excellency, co-captain!"

The captain of the Third Battalion kept shaking Gotojuro who was vomiting blood, but he couldn't wait for any reply from Gotojuro. All he saw was splattering blood, an ashen expression on his face and a decadent look in his eyes. With reinforcements from the Chinese army approaching, the captain of the Third Battalion knew that he had to make a decision on behalf of the commander.

He immediately issued a retreat order and organized the troops to retreat. If the fight continued, none of the Japanese troops on the position would be able to escape. Only by retreating could the troops be saved.

As a result, the Japanese army, which was fighting with the Chinese army, began to disengage and retreat backwards. The Japanese soldiers were not fools. They knew that if they continued to fight, they would be dead ends. Therefore, when the order to retreat was given, they were still fighting with China a second ago. The Japanese soldiers, who were fighting to the death, ran away to the rear in the next second. Their strong desire to survive caused these Japanese soldiers to quickly break away from contact with the Chinese army.

How could He Wei, who had seen the retreat of the Japanese army, let the Japanese army off so easily.

"Brothers, if the Japanese want to retreat, go inside the bunker and shoot them with machine guns."

He Wei raised his arms and ran into the nearest bunker. He fired fiercely at the retreating Japanese army with a Jinling [-]-[-] heavy machine gun. The dense bullets chased the retreating Japanese army and started chasing and shooting. There were explosions in the air. Clouds of blood mist emerged, and scores of Japanese troops fell under He Wei's machine gun fire. Then, other officers and soldiers on the position also opened fire with rifle machine guns, chasing the retreating Japanese troops all the way.

Boom
The sound of artillery firing also appeared in the position of the tank defense gun platoon, and the tank defense gun also opened fire. 37mm explosive grenades exploded in the crowd of retreating Japanese troops, and the shells disappeared. Once the collapse occurred, some Japanese troops would fall. The pursuit firepower of rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns turned the Japanese army's retreat into a road of death. Thousands of Japanese troops were surrounded by On the way to escape, he was knocked down and blown to pieces.

In the retreating team of the Japanese army, the captain of the Third Battalion and several Japanese soldiers supported Goto Juro and ran all the way. After running for almost 10 minutes, they were able to escape the pursuit firepower of the Chinese army. The panting captain of the Third Battalion organized the soldiers They put down the captain Juro Goto.

"Your Excellency, Captain, Your Excellency, Commander, how are you? We have withdrawn."

The captain of the third battalion asked with concern. At this time, Goto Juro's condition had improved a lot. He asked in a low voice: "How many people have evacuated?"

The captain of the third brigade had not yet counted the number of people and said: "Sir, I will count the number of people right now."

Goto Juro seemed to remember something, his facial muscles suddenly tensed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"Go and take a look. See if Second Lieutenant Seto has withdrawn. The regiment flag. The regiment flag is still in the hands of Second Lieutenant Seto."

Gotojuro shouted.

Hearing the regiment flag, the captain of the Third Battalion felt a chill behind him. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately organized his manpower to search for the regiment flag bearer Second Lieutenant Seto and the soldiers of the flag guard team among the retreating Japanese troops.

After some searching, the captain of the Third Battalion got a horrifying news - Second Lieutenant Seto and the 54 people from the flag protection team, none of them were among the retreating team. In other words, none of them were among the flag protection team. The team all stayed on the Chinese army's position, and the regimental flag of the Infantry Regiment No. 16 was on the body of Second Lieutenant Seto.

This means that the regiment flag of the Infantry No. 16 Regiment is lost!
The captain of the Third Battalion trembled and reported this news like a bolt from the blue to Goto Juro. After Goto Juro learned that the alliance flag was lost, he sat there blankly.

The regiment flag is lost, the regiment flag is lost, Goto Juro's mind keeps echoing these words. Infantry Regiment No. 16 is one of the earliest infantry regiments established by the Japanese Army during the Meiji Restoration.

That regiment flag was personally awarded to the first regiment captain by Emperor Meiji. It went through the Sino-Japanese War in 16 and the Russo-Japanese War in [-], and accompanied the establishment of the No. [-] regiment. He had achieved great feats, and now, all of them were destroyed in his own hands.

Goto Juro shuddered when he thought that he was about to become the first infantry captain in the history of the Japanese Army to lose the regiment flag. Once the regiment flag was lost, not only would he be punished by military law, but the No. 1 regiment would also be canceled according to military discipline. The regiment number will disappear forever from the combat structure of the Japanese Army, and will forever be nailed to the pillar of shame of the Japanese Army.

Infantry No. 16 Regiment, finished!

"Co-captain, co-captain."

The captain of the third brigade asked with concern. Goto Juro nodded and said, "Go and count the number of people, and we will drive back to the starting position."

"Yes!"

The captain of the third brigade immediately began to rectify the evacuated officers and soldiers. All the retreating Japanese officers and soldiers were rectifying the group, but they did not see that their captain turned around and turned his back to everyone.

Goto Juro quietly took out the Southern-style pistol from the holster on his waist. Goto Juro looked up at the sky and looked in the direction of the sun. Today's sun was particularly dazzling. He slowly raised the pistol and aimed it. touched his temple.

Bang - After a crisp gunshot, the bullet accurately shot into Goto Juro's temple, splashing with bright red plasma. Goto Juro, the current commander of the Japanese Army Infantry Regiment No. 16, is about to become the last commander. ended his life in such a tragic way
