Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 591 Defending Nanjing (24)

At Xiaxiu Bridge, after the Japanese army was repulsed from three consecutive attacks, the main force of the 23rd Brigade led by Ushishima Sadao arrived on the battlefield.Seeing the corpses of Japanese soldiers killed in battle densely packed up and down the Xiaxiu Bridge, the flesh on Ushishima's face twitched twice, and he called Teramachi Shunichi over and cursed: This is a disgrace to the Imperial Army, the defensive strength of the Chinese people is only one regiment, Why can't the rate be attacked?
Shunichi Teramachi was scolded so that he had no temper at all, but he was always respectful and respectful.

While cursing, Niu Dao was observing the situation around the battlefield. Soon, he ordered that the first brigade and the third brigade under the 56th Regiment cross the river from the upper and lower reaches of the Xiaxiu Bridge respectively, so as to face the soldiers on the other side of the bridge. Attack from three sides.Then, in order to cover the actions of the two brigades, he ordered all the artillery of the brigade to be concentrated and continue to bombard the 604th regiment's position.

The sound of artillery was rumbling, and Wang Changyun leaned his back against the trench, with a cigarette dangling from the inside.Beside him, Tu Dai and others also sat with their backs against the trenches.Suddenly, he yelled at Wang Changyun: "Old man, give me a breath."

"What about your own?" Wang Changyun quickly covered his hands tightly.

"Hey, I sent it back to my hometown before the war. You know, my old man is an old smoker. The old man has never smoked such high-end cigarettes. Give him a good time."

"Cut, be a filial son! Okay, but it's agreed, just one bite, if you suck too much, I will confiscate your bullets."

"Yes!" Tu Dai took the cigarette, took a puff beautifully, and said, "Anyi!" Suddenly, the lookout post reported: two teams of devils were marching up and down, and they seemed to be looking for a place to cross the river.

"What should I do?" Tu Dai couldn't care less about smoking, and looked at Wang Changyun.

Wang Changyun smiled: "It's okay, you forgot the iron watermelons that the commander prepared for us, it's time for them to play their role."

It was written earlier that in order to strengthen the combat capability of the 604 regiment, Ouyang Yun specially asked the engineering unit to help them lay minefields.And Wang Changyun, this ghost, did not place mines on the frontal battlefield, but on the two wings.His original idea was to prevent the Japanese army from attacking from three sides. Before that, because the Japanese army repeatedly attacked from the front, he was still a little puzzled. He thought that his painstaking design would not be wasted. Now that the Japanese army finally began to divide their troops to cross the river , to be honest, it was too late for him to be happy.

Matsui Iwane, the headquarters of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, sat on the tatami in a kimono, and opposite him sat two middle-aged men in military uniforms.

Matsui Iwane: "Your proposal just now is very good, but I want to know, how sure are you?"

"Eighty percent!" A man lowered his head and said.

"Eighty percent?! Let's give it a try. The battle situation in Nanjing is very difficult now. I can't provide you with more fighters. Just twelve. If you divide them into three waves, you should be able to catch the opportunity."

Another person said: "Twelve should be enough, we have prepared enough gas bombs."

"Ouyang Yun's existence is too great a threat to the empire, so let's make a decision like this. For the specific execution time, you can contact Ushishima Sadao."

"Hay!"

……

At Xiaxiu Bridge, the battle has been raging for more than an hour. The first and third brigades of the 56th Wing, under the leadership of the captains, Major Okabe Ton and Shimogawa Yoshiichi, have successfully crossed the river respectively.Among them, the crossing point of the first brigade was about ten kilometers away from Xiaxiu Bridge, while the crossing point of the third brigade was only three kilometers away from Xiaxiu Bridge.Therefore, the first to attack is the third team.

When the ghosts of the two brigades crossed the river, because they were worried that the 604th regiment would send troops to attack, Ushishima Sadao ordered the 55th regiment to launch a continuous offensive after the shelling stopped.

Facing the flood-like attack of the Japanese army, the 604th regiment soon fell into a situation of lack of troops.Among them, the third battalion is almost wiped out, and now the mixed troops of the first battalion and the third battalion are standing on the ground, and the second battalion is also ready to replace them.If it wasn't for Niu Yide and Zhang Changsheng's constant pressure on the Tiangu and Guoqi detachments to prevent them from attacking the 604th regiment, the 604th regiment's position must have been captured.

"Brothers! Hold on!"

"Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one!" In the third trench, among the shouts one after another, the soldiers of the first and third battalions of the 604 regiment gritted their teeth and persisted. Will repelled wave after wave of Japanese attacks.

Xiao Min's reconnaissance company now has only six people left.Three of them were seriously injured, and that was Xiao Min himself. A piece of scalp was torn off his head by a bullet. If he took off his helmet and the gauze bandages, he would look like an ancient Khitan.

Miraculously, Wang Changyun was always fighting at the forefront, but he didn't even get scratches.

Tu Dai and Ding were not so lucky in running the school. Among them, Tu Dai was the most unlucky, with two shrapnel embedded in his buttocks, so now he can only lie on the ground, and it is impossible to sit with his back to the trench.As for Ding Biaoxue, he was scratched by shrapnel in many places all over his body. At this time, his body was covered with bandages, like a mummy.

"Little devil! Come on! Grandpa is not afraid of you!" When the battle was at its most dangerous, a group of more than a dozen devils rushed to a place less than 20 meters in front of the trench.Seeing that the line of defense might be breached once they rushed in, Wang Changyun yelled loudly, picked up Qubing and jumped onto the ammunition box, shooting at the group of devils.

"Puff!" Bullets flew past him from time to time, and one of them even left a scratch on his helmet, but none of them touched his body.On the other hand, the group of devils on the opposite side were not so lucky.Without exception, they were knocked down by the bullets fired by the Qubing style. One of the captains who was holding a pistol had half of his head blown off by a single shot, and then he rushed forward two steps before falling like a straw. fall.

Wang Changyun laughed loudly: "Haha! Damn it, come again!" He pulled the trigger harder, and suddenly, on the bridge 50 meters away from the opposite side, a few devils suddenly squatted down and aimed at him.

Ding Banxue lay on the side and saw it clearly. Seeing Wang Changyun as if he hadn't seen him, he didn't know where the strength came from. He rushed over and hugged Wang Changyun's leg, dragged him down, and shouted in his ear: "Old Wang! You don't want to die!"

Falling to the ground, Wang Changyun finally came to his senses. Seeing Ding Banxue's grinning face, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is our Chinese land, and the land master will naturally bless us Chinese—"

"Fart, if you die, there will be no way to fight this battle!" Tu Dai rubbed his teeth at the side.

This wave of attacks was finally repelled, but bad news came one after another. First, Xiao Min ran over and said, "Tuan Zuo, there are Japanese troops rushing over from below, a large group." Then, the telegraph operator ran Come over, lean into his ear and say: "Tuan Zuo, the general headquarters is calling, the reinforcements will arrive in half an hour at the latest, let us prepare to retreat..."

"What? Retreat?! Lao Tzu's team is almost exhausted, and this is what they got in exchange?" Wang Changyun was furious.

The telegraph operator's face was pale, and he stuffed the telegram into his hand: "You can read it yourself."

Wang Changyun glanced at it, and the body that had just sat up sat down again with a puff, causing Ding Banxue, who was under him, to scream strangely.

Tu Dai saw that something was wrong, crawled over, snatched the telegram and looked at it, and then he was also stunned.The telegram reads: The general headquarters was attacked by Japanese gas bombs. Both the commander and Commander Li were poisoned and their lives were in danger... Go to your department to resolutely implement the order. If there is any violation, military law will be followed.

After a while, Ding Banxue murmured, "Why is this happening?"

On the right hand side of the 604 regiment, the third brigade of the 56th regiment of the Japanese army, under the command of the captain Shimogawa Yoshiichi, has rushed forward aggressively.And they had only rushed to a distance of about 500 meters from here, when a devil in the front stepped on a landmine, and there was a loud "boom", that devil was blown into the sky together with the three people behind him, and at the same time, The dozens of devils behind were all shot by shrapnel. Two of them died on the spot because of the puncture of the main artery, and the others lost their fighting ability one after another.

"Sharp lethality!" A soldier in the 604th Regiment's position witnessed this scene and couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly.

The offensive of the Japanese Third Battalion was immediately delayed due to the presence of minefields.In the temporary headquarters of the 18th Division on the opposite side of Xiaxiu Bridge, after receiving the feedback from the aviation unit, Ushishima Sadao lifted his spirits and shouted to the devil officer next to him to wipe out the Chinese army on the opposite side. slogan.

At the same time, Niu Yide and Zhang Changsheng had already received the same telegram as the 604 Regiment.The two were immediately dumbfounded.At this time, the Tiangu detachment and Guoqi detachment had been suppressed into the last line of defense, and their troops also suffered heavy casualties. Among them, three companies of Zhang Changsheng's troops were completely destroyed.The casualties of the soldiers are rewarding. Now the Tiangu and Kunizaki detachments have only more than 800 combatable soldiers left, and ammunition is also missing.

With the appearance of this telegram, Zhang Changsheng and Niu Yide had to suspend their offensive and temporarily close the front line.

There was a temporary tranquility on the battlefield. The difference was that the Japanese army began to become ambitious, while the three regiments of the Xuebing Army seemed a little depressed.

Zhang Changsheng and Niu Yide got together immediately, and the former asked the latter: "Lao Niu, what should we do now? The strength of Tiangu Detachment and Guoqi Detachment is very low."

"You mean disobedience?"

"Yes. I will be outside, and the military order will not be accepted. I have a mature idea."

"Tell me."

"Temporarily put on a defensive stance, and then wait for the reinforcements from the other side to arrive, and together with Wang Changyun, we will invest all our troops in an attack. We must wipe out the Tiangu Detachment and Guoqi Detachment—this can be regarded as revenge for the commander and Commander Li."

"Let's ask Captain Wang for his opinion."

"Of course, but I'm sure he will support it. This kid is much more ruthless in fighting than you and me."

"I am a little worried now. Once the main force of the Japanese army takes the opportunity to cross the bridge, we will have no choice but to leave at that time."

"At worst, I'll die in battle here—with a big scar on my head, we'll be a hero again in 20 years!"

"Ha, it feels like Wang Changyun said this!"

"So it's decided?!"

"I'll accompany you!"

Thus, a slightly crazy battle plan was finalized.
