More than 2,000 Japanese soldiers rushed over, but were stopped by a burst of artillery fire, and then dozens of tongues of flame were drawn out of the machine gun, preventing the Japanese army from joining the little devils under the city.
At this time, neither party dared to shoot at the city, because they couldn't tell which ones were their own, and the fighting didn't stop for a moment, and no one dared to shoot. Fortunately, the city can still deal with those little devils who attack the city, which is equivalent to helping The brothers at the bottom just looked at such a tragedy helplessly, but they really couldn't bear it.
A brother was pierced through the stomach by a bayonet. The brother did not retreat but advanced, dragged the little devil's bayonet with his body, and then stabbed the bayonet in his hand on the little devil's chest¡ª¡ª
A brother strangled the little devil from behind. He didn't know that a bayonet stabbed suddenly from behind, but he didn't let the brother let go. Seeing the little devil struggling desperately, the brother bit the little devil's neck fiercely. He tore off a piece of flesh fiercely, looking like a ghost from hell.
Everyone in such a battlefield is crazy, it can make people forget the pain, life and death, they only have the enemy in their eyes, and they only have how to kill the enemy in their hearts.
Only after experiencing such a battlefield, will you know that at this moment, no one has any lofty ideals of defending the country, and no one will think of any misses for their wives and children. What they think is only to die and not kill the enemy They are going to die, in order to survive, in order to kill these little devils, they can only risk their own lives, even if they are alive, they have picked them up, don't say anything when they are dead.
The battle was brutal, with seven or eight hundred soldiers and thousands of Japanese soldiers fighting to their death in a small area near the gate of the city. There were no tactics and no queues. They were just visible enemies, and they used all conceivable methods to kill them. People keep falling down, people keep dying, and there are fewer and fewer people in the field.
Some of the brothers in the city couldn't stand it anymore. When there was no order, someone fell off the city wall, and then joined the battlefield, brandishing a big knife, and fighting the little devil to the end.
The Japanese army finally couldn't bear it anymore. They were too easily distracted and had to be on guard against the enemies in the city. In this way, they were not as pure as the national army, and naturally there were countless casualties.
Many people died, and the little devil couldn't hold it back. The remaining commanders began to ask the officers behind to retreat, because if they continued to fight, not only would they have no chance to break through Wuxi, they would even die here.
The Japanese army also knew that this battle was a complete failure, and they failed from the moment they couldn't enter the city, so they finally agreed to the retreat plan, but they were a little uneasy because the enemy might not let these soldiers leave, and the two sides were already red-eyed. , How could the national army let them leave alive.
"Retreat¡ª¡ª" the Japanese army greeted, and the remaining three or four hundred people retreated back with a huff. Whoever runs fast may survive, and those who run slowly may not be able to run back.
"Shoot, kill the little devils¡ª¡ª" Brigadier Zhou roared angrily, grabbed a crooked handle himself, pulled out the fire chain, and slapped the little devils' running figures fiercely, absolutely not allowing them to go back alive.
The gunshot of 'da da da' sounded, chasing the figure of the little devil and shooting at it, how much anger and hatred it contained, burst out in the sparks of the bullets, and for a while, many little devils fell on the way to retreat¡ª¡ª
The Japanese army began to suppress the firepower and cover the retreating Japanese army, while the surviving brothers of the national army under the city gate also started shooting on the ground, avenging their comrades, and bursting out the depression in their chests, which can only be relieved by killing devils. That evil fire.
Most of the nearly 1,000 Japanese soldiers stayed under the city gate of Wuxi, and similarly, only 300 or so of the more than 2,000 national army brothers were able to return to the city alive, and they also brought back the body of Chief Chen. The officer closed his eyes on the way back.
After this battle, both sides lost a lot, but the Japanese army's conspiracy failed completely after all, but with the death of Chief Chen, the troops in the east of the city became a little chaotic.
Chief Chen is gone, and the two brigade commanders, Zhou and Sun, began to compete for dominance, and even the three regiment commanders got involved. After all, it is related to the remaining 3,000 brothers. At this time, who can get the command right? Whoever is most likely to be promoted to teacher commander, everyone understands, who is willing to give up.
Chief of Staff Xu couldn't mediate. No one listened to him, and even marginalized him. He was not even called to participate in the military meeting, which made Chief of Staff Xu a little worried. , had no choice but to ask for help from Chief Li.
It's just that Chief Li couldn't leave at this time, and the battle in the west of the city continued from time to time. Don't talk about meddling in these affairs, Chief Li, even the 11th Division had to start asking for help from the east of the city, because the brothers were too dead and injured. The teacher no longer has many whole brothers.
"Chief of Staff Xu, how about this, let's persuade the two brigade commanders Zhou and Sun together.?It¡¯s better to have one in the east of the city and one in the west of the city, come over and help me defend the west of the city¡ª¡± Chief Li felt a little helpless, since Chief Chen was gone, he couldn¡¯t talk to the two brigade commanders, Zhou and Sun.
Chief of Staff Xu nodded with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, I really can't get involved. It's related to future promotion, and no one is willing to give in. I¡ª"
Chief Li knows that Chief of Staff Xu really doesn't want to interfere. Once Chief Chen is gone, his chief of staff will be embarrassed. The two brigade commanders and the three regiment leaders don't pay much attention to him, and they can't even participate in the military meeting. It's been pushed out now.
It's just that Chief Li didn't expect that, under the lure of the teacher's throne, Chief Li went to find the two brigade commanders in person. Although Zhou and Sun didn't speak ill of each other, they still had an unheard of virtue and couldn't hear them at all. , No one agreed to support the west of the city. Once they retreated, all the supplies in the east of the city belonged to another person, and they were all fighting for soldiers.
On August 3, after the Japanese army attacked for more than ten days, the 11th Division suffered heavy losses. From the commander of the division commander Li Zhang down, the officers also suffered heavy casualties. One of the two brigade commanders died and the other was disabled. On the city wall, only the division commander, Commander Li, was wounded and commanded. However, during the Japanese air raid on August 3, Commander Li was injured by a shrapnel, and he fell into a coma soon. So far, Wuxi City has no unified command.
"Send this letter to Liu Yang¡ª" Chief Li handed a letter to the guard before he fell into a coma. He already had a premonition that Wuxi might not be able to defend it.
Under the attack of the Third Division, the Eleventh Division has lost more than half of it, and it is barely holding on until now, and as the Fourth Division continues to send troops back to help, under the supervision of Fujita Susumu, the Fourth Division also began to participate in the battle. Continuously launching attacks on Wuxi, Dongcheng was also caught in the flames of war.
Following the Japanese army's general attack, the dispute between Zhou and Sun became smaller, but they still went their separate ways. In addition, the people below were also fighting openly and secretly, which made the already difficult situation even more bleak.
On the evening of the 3rd, several guards fell down from the city wall, and then left Wuxi at night, delivered Officer Li's letter and handed it over to Liu Yang of the Secret Service Battalion.
After reading this letter, Liu Yang knew that Wuxi was in danger. Chief Chen died for his country, and Chief Li was unconscious. Obviously, the worst was happening. The military chiefs in the city refused to obey anyone, and the remaining troops were only about 5,000 , but still unable to unify the command, and even started to scramble for supplies. If this continues, there will only be a dead end.
Slowly closing the letter, Liu Yang shook his head with a wry smile: "Mr. Li just gave me a problem. If I don't do it, I will watch Wuxi fall and thousands of brothers die in battle. , will definitely be even more suspected by the government, huh¡ª"
In fact, Chief Li also understood very well that he handed over this choice to Liu Yang at the last juncture. Wuxi could no longer hold on. Without a unified command, he couldn't hold on for too long. Only Liu Yang could hold on if he wanted to break the situation. It's okay, even if it's strong.
But the problem is that it is impossible not to go to the city. Is it really impossible to watch thousands of brothers die and watch Wuxi fall? Liu Yang couldn't do it, so he hesitated for a while, then stood up, and said slowly: "Entering the city¡ª"
Following Liu Yang's order, the spy battalion went to Wuxi at night, and the special forces dispersed and began to investigate continuously, providing a way for the spy battalion to enter the city. The Japanese army did not completely surround Wuxi, and there were still gaps. Moreover, the Japanese army is also very exhausted until now.
The Japanese army did not expect that the secret service battalion would enter Wuxi at this time, because they had not received the news that Chief Li was unconscious, so they had no way of guessing what happened next. When the Japanese army discovered the secret service battalion's actions, it was too late to stop them In other words, the machine gun points and observation posts set up cannot stop them.
When Chief Li was on the verge of coma, he not only sent out the letter he had already written, but also asked Wu Baoguo, the only surviving brigade commander, to take over the spy battalion into the city and assist Liu Yang in organizing the various troops, because he did not want all his brothers They all died here, and finally Wuxi fell, and the only one who could save Wuxi was Liu Yang.
Wu Baoguo agrees that only Liu Yang has the ability to save Wuxi at this time, and also save their brothers. Are there still seven or eight hundred brothers in the 11th Division who can fight now? If there is no support, they will be lost. Wu Baoguo has no choice , so after Liu Yang arrived, he opened the south city gate.
"Wu Baoguo of the Second Brigade met Liu Yingzuo." Although Liu Yang was only a lieutenant colonel, Wu Baoguo did not dare to neglect him in the slightest. After all, Liu Yang was extremely powerful.
"Brigade Commander Wu, ask your brothers to take over for repairs, and let my people take over the defense¡ª" Liu Yang returned the salute and nodded slightly: "Take me to see Commander Li."
"Yes¡ª" Wu Baoguo replied. This is the best sentence I have heard these days. The brothers are really exhausted. It is the hope of all the brothers to take a rest. As for other things , Chief Li has already made arrangements, Wu Baoguo didn't say much, he knew what he should do.
