Chapter 786 The Battle of Shimen
Unlike Qianshan and Hengfeng, Jiangshan has been occupied by the Japanese for a while, and it is also close to the enemy, the Xuebing Army, so the fortifications are very complete.For example, at the south intersection of Shimen Town, in addition to the circular fortification that has just been reinforced with sandbags, there are two small bunkers inside the fortification.These two bunkers were set up quite sinister and vicious, and the forts were built in the walls of two residential houses facing the road, which made Agent Fox Tong ignore them in the previous intelligence collection.

"Brothers, attack!" The 702nd regiment took the lead in the first round of attack. In the shouts of the regiment leader Xue Yongtai, more than a thousand soldiers swarmed up. From the muzzles of two machine guns, "Da da da!" As two half-meter-long tongues of flame burst out, more than a dozen soldiers from the first battalion rushing to the front fell to the ground with a groan.

"Lie down!" Xue Yongtai was in a hurry, and he shouted loudly: "Mortar! Aim for me! Second battalion, third battalion, cover fire, first battalion, assault!"

The mortars that had been extended bombardment began to reduce the angle of fire. The people of the second and third battalions got down on both sides of the first battalion tacitly. devils.

Seven or eight grenades slammed into the perimeter of the circular fortification, and one fell into the fortification on the left. With a loud bang, the three devils were lifted up by the air wave, and the raging machine gun was also blown to pieces. .

"Bang, bang," the Japanese mortars began to fight back.Hearing the sound of grenades tearing the air, the mortar crews hurriedly grabbed the support legs of the mortar and ran.At the same time, the first battalion got up and rushed up amidst the shouts of the battalion commander Lin Yifei.

The battle was extremely fierce from the very beginning. Although there were only two squadrons of devils stationed in Shimen Town, relying on solid fortifications and hearing that large troops were coming to support them, the morale of the little devils was high and they fought to the death. No refund.When the circular fortifications on the left were destroyed, many devils climbed onto the roofs of the houses and started shooting. In this way, the range and accuracy of the three major buildings were brought into full play, and the officers and soldiers of one regiment and three battalions shot at once. They were all exposed to the guns of the Japanese army, and the battle became difficult.

Seeing that more than [-] of his subordinates were killed in a short while, Xue Yongtai was about to burst into tears, he ran to the side of the mortar platoon leader Liu Zhengguo, and shouted: "Liu Zhengguo! Give me the gun on the right. The circular fortifications are also blasted! Can it be done!"

Liu Zhengguo gritted his teeth and nodded, then stood up and raised his right thumb to start making precise calculations.

The remaining machine gun in the circular fortification on the right caused great damage to the 702nd regiment. The soldiers of the first and third battalions were pressed to the ground and could not even raise their heads.

"Yaoxi! Xiao Dao, great job!" In the circular fortification on the right, the team leader Da Tian Shaozin leaned on the sandbag, holding a few magazines in his hand, and praised Xiao Dao loudly.Suddenly, the sound of "Woo" air burst, his face changed drastically, he threw away the magazine, grabbed the island, and rushed towards the back corner of the room.

late! With a "boom", a grenade almost hit the position where Kojima was just now, and hundreds of shrapnel flew wildly with the force of the explosion, turning the backs of Datian and Kojima into a hornet's nest.

Liu Zhengguo gave the order to "launch" and was about to squat down when he suddenly felt a pain in his forehead and immediately lost consciousness.

"Zhengguo, Zhengguo!" Xue Yongtai hugged him and shouted loudly, suddenly he stroked the hot blood splashed on his face with his hands, put down his body that had not yet cooled down and stood up, waving his pistol and shouted: "Charge!" ! Brothers, charge!" Take the lead and charge forward.

The officers and soldiers of the 702 regiment had been waiting for this moment for a long time. At this time, they heard the voice of the regiment leader, got up and moved forward bravely. In the middle, screaming and falling down from the roof.

And just inside the circular fortification that was blown up, a hole the size of a bowl was suddenly poked out on the wall facing the street of two residential houses, and two black gun barrels protruded out. He spit out evil flames.

The 702nd Regiment rushed to the front battalion, which was only about 30 meters away from the street intersection. At this time, they were suddenly shot by machine guns, and more than [-] soldiers in front were immediately knocked down.Battalion commander Lin Yifei was also hit by two bullets in his left leg, and he fell to the ground with blood gushing from the injured part of his left leg.

"Camp seat!" Seeing that the battalion commander was seriously injured, his guard Liu Qiang became anxious, pulled out his first aid kit and rushed over. "Da da da!" In the crisp sound of the machine gun, he was hit by more than a dozen bullets, his whole body trembled violently twice, and slowly fell to his knees unwillingly.

Lin Yifei was Xue Yongtai's No. [-] fierce general. Seeing him lying on the ground, Xue Yongtai cursed anxiously: "Fuck!" Then he shouted at the correspondent Wang Pingping who had been following him closely: " Bring the walkie-talkie over, I want to ask which bastard gave this order. Damn, there are tanks and cannons that are not used, so people have to fill them in! Brothers’ lives are worthless?!"

"Group seat!"

"come over!"

In the streets behind the south of Shimen Town, simple fortifications were built again about 50 meters from the street entrance.Under the command of the squadron leader Kameda Shinyu, a squadron of devils rushed out by taking advantage of the opportunity of the small bunker to show off its power.

They quickly entered the two residential houses, smashed wildly, made a few holes in the outward facing wall, and formed a solid line of defense.

Wang Pingping squatted up and was about to run to Xue Yongtai when a bullet flew towards him. He let out a miserable cry, covered his chest with his right hand, and then fell to the ground and died.

Xue Yongtai yelled: "Little Wang!" Then he punched hard on the ground——Wang Pingping was killed because of his persistence, which made him feel as if he was being stabbed in the heart, causing him pain and embarrassment.

On a small hill one kilometer away, Gui Mingxun forced himself to calm down, put down the binoculars with trembling hands, and his face was pale.The tenacity of the Japanese army exceeded his expectations. Before the Japanese support troops entered the town, the casualties of the 2nd Regiment were so huge.He suddenly realized a question, would the student army not be able to fight without tanks and cannons?This made him wonder whether Mohed's previous design for the Japanese support troops would turn against him instead?

"Mingxun, we can't wait any longer, order the Second Regiment to withdraw from the battle and carry out repeated fire!" Chief of Staff Lu Youfu said worriedly.Seeing him hesitate, he added: "Don't worry about accidentally injuring civilians. Didn't the people from Hutong tell the residents to evacuate in advance?"

Agent Fox Tong played an incomparable role in this large-scale attack. Although they did not directly participate in the battle, they obtained detailed information in advance and encouraged the townspeople who might have a war to go out as early as three days ago. evacuate.Now, there are not many residents left in Shimen Town.

Gui Mingxun was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. He asked, "If the commander-in-chief is here, what do you think he would do?"

Lu Youfu frowned, not knowing why he raised such a question at this time.

Gui Mingxun then asked: "Is it true that our cadet army will not fight without tanks and cannons? Old Lu, have you ever thought that once the Japanese army completely blocks us, our tanks and cannons will fight less and less, and eventually there will be more wars?" Then one day, we must rely entirely on people to fight, then, should we just put down our guns and admit defeat?" He pointed to the officers and soldiers of the second regiment who were completely unable to lift their heads under the pressure of the Japanese firepower, and said: "Do you still remember the generals? Did the commander say anything when he came to our division at the beginning of this year?" He imitated Ouyang Yun's tone and said, "Yes, I admit that you used to be members of the Iron Fourth Army and were very good at fighting, and this is indeed true. You have something to be proud of. But now I want to say that the title of the Iron Fourth Army was earned by you in the civil war, and it has passed its shelf life. If you want to keep this title, you must fight against During the Japanese War, I want the Japanese to say when they mention you—ah! Iron Seventh Division of the Xuebing Army!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Since we joined the Xuebing Army, brothers We are all used to living a peaceful life, and because of advanced weapons, everyone is defiant as if I am invincible, I think this is an opportunity, a chance to test whether we can regain the title of 'Iron Army'!"

Lu Youfu looked at him, sighed softly, and said, "Give them another quarter of an hour, and we can't delay any longer. Otherwise, if the Japanese reinforcements come up, they will beat them back, even if we can If you win, the second regiment will also be abolished!"

At this time, Xue Yongtai called: "I am Xue Yongtai, I am asking for artillery support, I am asking for artillery support!"

The communication staff officer ran over with the walkie-talkie on his back and the microphone. Seeing the unfriendly expressions on the faces of the two officers, he said cautiously, "Master, Commander Xue is requesting artillery support."

"Give it to me!" Gui Mingxun took the microphone, adjusted his mood, and said coldly: "Xue Yongtai!"

"Master, I'm Xue Yongtai, I'm asking for artillery support. Damn, the little devil has a bunker at the entrance of the town! We can't rush in, and the troops have lost a lot—"

"There is no artillery support, but I will give you a choice," Gui Mingxun looked at his watch, "Either take the Zhennan position within 4 minutes, or you withdraw, and I will go up with another group!"

Xue Yongtai was in a hurry: "Master, what are you talking about, our regiment has already killed more than a hundred people—"

"It's only 13 minutes, if you are a man from the old Cantonese family, please cheer me up!"

"I lost it!" Xue Yongtai said bitterly, and hung up the phone.

Tan Langxing, the commander of the [-]th Brigade, came over.As an old Cantonese general, Tan Langxing was deliberately downgraded by Ouyang Yun because of his close relationship with the "central government".For the Xuebing Army, like other Cantonese generals close to the "central", Tan Langxing had mixed feelings at first, subconsciously feeling repulsive.However, as time went by, he gradually realized how strong and unique the Xuebing Army was. Now he is willing to stay in the current position of brigade commander of the [-]th Brigade, and even takes pride in it.

The officers who have been systematically learned are different from the generals who rely on guns. They not only accept new things faster, but also use them more quickly.Now, what Tan Langxing likes to talk about the most is the highly coordinated operation of machine guns.

Today's battle was useless, and he couldn't understand why the mechanized troops, who had an advantage, didn't use it, but they had to use people to fill it.Really distressed about the casualties of his subordinates, he asked Gui Mingxun for instructions: "Master, let me take a tank platoon to support!"
