"Take everyone with you and retreat fifty meters."
Captain Duan is experienced. The Japanese will definitely launch a new round of attacks with artillery bombardment. These are just temporary fortifications, and we don't have any solid anti-artillery holes. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid no one will survive.
"Machine gun, machine gun..."
A machine gunner of the 29th Army was still thinking about his Maxim heavy machine gun. This thing was more precious than his life. The regimental commander had said before, "Even if you lose your own life, don't lose my machine gun."
"Get out of here, damn machine gun."
Two soldiers from the 72nd Army next to them were married off directly, one on the left and one on the right. At this time, they were still handling machine guns. In their understanding, twenty machine guns were not as important as one person's life. This was promoted by the people in the 72nd Army training camp, and it has now been deeply rooted in their minds.
Less than two minutes after the brothers withdrew, their original position was plowed by artillery shells. More than 30 people had not yet withdrawn. They were all soldiers of the 29th Army. They were worried about one or the other. Some had already withdrawn, but ran back and never got out again...
Old Duan also understood that these soldiers couldn't be blamed for their narrow-mindedness. They simply lived in poverty, and the weapons and equipment they had were already much better than those of other warlords. If they were to just leave them alone, they would definitely feel guilty. Furthermore, they were still hoping for the best, thinking, "Will the Japanese artillery definitely hit me? If not, I'll just carry this machine gun back."
"Do you want to enter the position?"
Captain Zhou was convinced at this moment. When Lao Duan wanted to withdraw his men just now, he thought it was nonsense. What if the Japanese took this opportunity to attack? There would be no one left on the position. The road ahead was flat, and there was only a small hill in this place.
"hold on."
Old Duan couldn't control the Japs, so one round of artillery fire should have been enough. However, the Japanese were desperate to be defeated, so they might launch a second or even a third round of artillery attacks.
It was just as Lao Duan thought. A few minutes later, the second round of artillery fire swarmed in. Fortunately, the brothers did not go up, otherwise, after this round of artillery fire, few people would be able to stand up. The Japanese were starting to fight for their lives and took out all the artillery shells in the bottom of the box. Anyway, when fighting in the north before, I had never seen a Japanese division so generous.
"Speed up, get into position, and throw grenades."
After hearing what Lao Duan said, Captain Zhou took out the last grenade. Apart from the two boxes of grenades given to them during the first airdrop, there were not many left. At this time, they had not seen what the situation in front of the position was. Should they throw grenades?
Although Captain Zhou had doubts in his heart, he threw his last grenade like other brothers of the 72nd Army. The sound of Japs crying out could be heard in the distance. It turned out that when Japan launched the first round of artillery bombardment, the Japs soldiers had already rushed forward. This ability of coordinated combat between infantry and artillery is indeed worth learning from.
When the second round of artillery fire came, it was also to see how many people were still alive. When the Japanese found that there was no one on the position, they immediately stopped the second round of artillery fire. This is why the second round of artillery fire was short. Captain Zhou had already judged the Japanese intentions, so when the second round of artillery shells had not been thrown yet, he had already led his brothers to win and threw grenades in front of the position.
The Japanese soldiers who were about to rush up to the position were stunned by the more than one hundred grenades. There was clearly no one on the position just now, and they did not hear anyone shouting when the shells fell. This meant that the enemy had retreated, so they rushed up with great joy. As a result, when they stepped on the position, they were blown to pieces by the more than one hundred grenades.
Chug tug tug…
The soldiers also started firing their submachine guns. More than a hundred Japanese soldiers had already rushed to the position, but were beaten back by this round of bullets. Some of the Japanese soldiers fell back and directly fell on their compatriots.
There were three battalions of Japanese soldiers, several thousand people rushing up. It was impossible for them to be killed by these one hundred grenades, so the remaining people didn't care about the situation in front and just kept rushing up.
"Brothers, use all your strength to kill them."
Captain Duan also understood that it was the final moment and the weapons and equipment of his brothers should be enough, but facing these thousands of people, it would be hard to say. However, no matter what the situation was, the 72nd Army only had men who would die standing, and no rats who would run back.
The remaining brothers of the 29th Army also picked up the light machine guns they had used before and opened fire on the positions. The two sides engaged in a life-and-death battle around a position the size of two football fields.
Old Duan saw clearly that his brothers fell one after another. He thought that this support battle should be no problem with the strength of a complete infantry regiment. He did not expect that there were so many traitors around, trapping his own mechanical troops.
The armored infantry became ordinary infantry, but none of the more than a thousand brothers in our regiment brought shame to the 72nd Army.
The shouts and sounds of gunfire filled the air. Both sides now had only one idea, which was to kill the other. After the comrades around you fell, you didn't even have a second to feel sad. If you ran to feel sad, the bayonet might pierce your chest in the next second.
When the machine gun bullets are used up, use the pistol. When the pistol bullets are used up, anything you pick up is a weapon.
The three Japanese battalions had several times more troops than Lao Duan and his men. In the end, Lao Duan led his men and slowly moved towards the center. In the end, only about a hundred people were left from the 72nd Army and the 29th Army, and there were some wounded and sick soldiers.
The Japanese also paid a huge price. There were only more than 600 people left in the three battalions. Thousands of people died before they were able to surround these more than 100 people.
"Put down your weapons. Your bravery has earned our respect. I promise that if you lay down your weapons, you will be properly arranged."
Captain Musashi, who had been shot in the left leg, gritted his teeth and spoke to the mixed army in front of him.
"The brothers of the 72nd Army will not retreat, and our brothers of the 29th Army are not cowards either. Old Duan will go first. If I, Zhou, frown even once, I will make him suffer eternal damnation. Brothers, kill him!"
Captain Zhou led the remaining one hundred or so men and bravely advanced...
