Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 616 The First Battle (10)

Walsh saw that the volunteers had arrived and finally gave the order to open fire!

Da da da, several machine guns fired fiercely at the vanguard squad. Several soldiers fell down, and the others quickly lay on the ground and started a fierce shootout with the Australian army!

Fang Yingjie's telescope immediately followed.

"Damn it, these bastards are here! Suppress them with fire!"

Two armored vehicles.

The twin 20mm machine guns started to fire loudly!

Fang Yingjie picked up the walkie-talkie and began to ask for support from the rear!

"Report to the commander, we are encountering enemy sniper fire ahead!"

"Wait a moment, I'll have the artillery company and the 4th company go over to provide support!"

The United Nations Army is not the Kuomintang Army. Although they are retreating, they take turns to cover each other and their resistance is very fierce!

Therefore, the 39th Army and the 40th Army also fought fiercely during the pursuit.

After an hour or so,

Another convoy came from behind, led by six 6mm self-propelled artillery vehicles from the regiment's self-propelled artillery company!

4 Company Commander Zhou Kui also ran over and shouted when he saw Fang Yingjie,

"Lao Fang, your reconnaissance company has completed its mission. You can withdraw now. This enemy group belongs to us!"

Fang Yingjie knew that Zhou Kui was the commander's favorite general, who was both wise and brave, and was good at using his brain in battle!

"You better be careful! Two of our vehicles were destroyed, and more than ten people were killed!"

Zhou Kui held the telescope, looked at Hill 701, and said,

"It's okay. You may not know this yet, but we have already sealed off the Qingchuan River. Their resistance is meaningless!"

"Really?" Fang Yingjie asked excitedly.

"That's right. The commander told me that the 1st Combat Group and the 38th Army fought over there all night last night!"

Behind me, the communicator with a walkie-talkie on his back suddenly said,

"Captain, the artillery company is ready!"

"Tell them to aim at Hill 701 and open fire!"

Six 6mm howitzers, plus the 105mm mortars and machine guns of the reconnaissance company and the 4th company, all the heavy firepower available, began to fire fiercely at the high ground guarded by the Australian army!

On Hill 101, the seemingly peaceful position was instantly engulfed by intensive artillery fire.

The shells, trailing long flames, whistled through the sky and smashed into the Australian positions with precision, bringing destructive force. The earth trembled in the violent explosions, as if it was about to collapse under the heavy load.

Walsh was stunned.

Time was running out, and they did not build any decent fortifications. The soldiers hid behind rocks or trees.

After half an hour of fierce shelling, casualties were heavy. Of the 1000 soldiers in the battalion, less than half were left!

This was the result of him placing a company on the back hillside as a reserve!

The damned bombardment finally stopped.

Then I heard an Australian soldier shouting,

"The Chinese soldiers are coming!"

Walsh looked down the mountain.

The mountains and plains were filled with Chinese people, but they were scattered, as if they were afraid of being bombarded!

"Use...the...knife!"

Hearing Walsh's roar, the morale of the originally depressed Australian soldiers suddenly boosted. They immediately took out their bayonets and installed them on the muzzles of their guns. This is their tradition and strength!

"Charge!" Walsh gave the order!

Zhou Kui was stunned when he saw the Australian soldiers rushing down the mountain with their bayonets shining brightly. Before he could react, he saw the soldiers around him also putting on their bayonets, with excitement flashing in their eyes.

The 39th Army is the ace army of the Fourth Field Army.

According to the leader,

The troops that dare to fight to the death are the best troops!

Bayonet fighting is our strong point!

"Kill!" With Zhou Kui's roar, the volunteers rushed towards the Australian army like tigers. Their footsteps on the snow splashed snow mist, which was their pace of charge and their desire for victory.

Yan Dingchun, a young soldier, had a red face from the cold, but his eyes were gleaming with a fiery light. He swung his bayonet and stabbed at an Australian soldier.

The Australian soldier was tall and he dodged Xiao Li's attack by suddenly leaning sideways and stabbing him with his backhand.

Yan Dingchun dodged flexibly, and the bayonet brushed past the corner of his clothes. He kicked the Australian soldier's knee, and when the Australian soldier bent over in pain, he stabbed the bayonet into the enemy's chest. Blood slowly flowed down the bayonet, dripping onto the white snow, soaking up a bunch of bright red flowers.

Soldier Lao Meng's hands were numb from the cold, but he still held the rifle tightly. He roared and rushed towards a group of Australian soldiers. His eyes were full of anger, hatred for the invaders. He stabbed left and right, like a tiger into a flock of sheep. The Australian soldiers were frightened by his momentum and retreated one after another. Lao Meng had been injured in many places, and his cotton coat was soaked with blood, but he was unaware of it and continued to fight bravely.

The 4th Company was at a disadvantage in the bayonet combat, not because of their small number of men, but because of too much automatic firepower and the inability to mount bayonets. Many of those holding submachine guns and machine guns dropped their weapons and pulled out their engineering shovels to join the battle!

In this fierce battle, the Australian soldiers were gradually shocked by the courage of the volunteers. They had never seen such fearless opponents. These volunteers seemed to have infinite strength and would never retreat even if they were seriously injured.

Thanks to the adequate food and nutrition, the guys in the 4th Company have developed strong muscles and seem to have endless energy. The cook squad leader Liang Changshi, holding an engineering shovel, chopped left and right and killed a total of six Australian soldiers!

As the Australian soldiers fell one by one, the advantage of the soldiers of the 4th Company became greater and greater.

I don't know who to start with.

An Australian soldier cried, threw away his weapon, knelt on the ground with his hands raised, and then more and more Australian soldiers raised their hands to surrender!

Walsh looked at the scene in front of him with a look of fear on his face. He shouted loudly, trying to organize the soldiers to resist, but his voice was drowned out by the shouts of killing. His hands trembled slightly, and the bayonet he held was no longer so firm.

A volunteer soldier rushed over and thrust his bayonet into Walsh's chest!

Walsh's eyes finally closed, and he seemed to see the pastures and cows in his hometown!

There were dead bodies lying on the ground.

And a row of kneeling prisoners!

The battle is over,

Zhou Kui let out a long roar towards the sky!

The soldiers around roared excitedly!

"Long live the Volunteer Army!"

"Must win!"

The battle is over!

The shouts of the volunteer soldiers seemed to still echo over the battlefield.

They defended the dignity of New China with their flesh and blood, and wrote legends in the history of war with their fearless courage.
