Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After fighting for a day and night, not only the soldiers of the Seventh Army were tired, but also the Japanese soldiers of the Second Division who launched the charge were even more tired.  Therefore, when hundreds of large-caliber heavy artillery bombarded the Japanese positions, the exhausted Japanese army did not react at once, and many soldiers were blown to pieces on the starting position.

    Although the soldiers wearing gas masks were still accustomed to shouting kills to boost their morale during the charge, their voices had become a bit weird after passing through the sound piece of the gas masks.  Yes, this is a roar like a hell monster.

    Liu Tianhai, who was carrying a bayonet-mounted Garand rifle along the slope to attack the two wings of the position, suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him. In the smoke-filled position, he couldn't see the difference in military uniforms at all, but when he discovered  After the other person didn't put on the gas mask, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately jumped forward and stabbed the person in the abdomen.  As the man screamed, Shi Jianfei pushed his rifle forward and pushed the enemy down. He then took out his bayonet and then rushed forward.  But he had just run a few steps when he heard a crisp sound of submachine gunfire coming from the left. He immediately shouted the command and moved closer to form a temporary assault team with the submachine gunners.

    At this time, Japanese soldiers whose internal organs were shattered could be seen everywhere on the battlefield. Occasionally, some who were lucky enough to be uninjured were stabbed to death by soldiers of the Seventh Army who rushed towards them with bayonets before they could stand up.  When rushing past the wounded Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, they did not forget to shoot a few more shots or stab them with a knife.  The soldiers who expanded to both sides of the Japanese position were trying their best to expand the breach. Everyone knew that there were large Japanese troops behind the position. Once the Japanese troops reacted, they would definitely launch a counterattack.

    "Da da!¡­¡­"

    Liu Tianhai, who crossed the slope and rushed into the Japanese formation, saw a few shadows coming up and fired a few bullets. Then the rifle made a crisp spring impact sound, and it turned out that the empty magazine automatically ejected.  Liu Tianhai quickly took out a magazine from the cloth bag on his waist and was about to return the rifle when he saw a man with a bayonet rushing toward him in the smoke.  The other party was less than one meter away from him, just when Liu Tianhai thought he was about to die.  Suddenly a figure appeared from beside him and stepped forward. In the flash of gunfire, more than ten bullets hit the Japanese soldier's throat, breaking his neck, and the blood spurted out like a fountain.  Liu Tianhai's gas mask almost blocked his sight.

    "Thanks, brother!"

    While wiping the blood on the lenses, Liu Tianhai said thank you.  At this time, two more soldiers holding rifles surrounded the soldier holding a submachine gun. The four people immediately formed a temporary assault group with the submachine gunner as the core, and the four people rushed forward

    At this time, the charging troops were rushing forward following the explosion point of the artillery shells, and due to the large number of smoke bombs and tear gas grenades, the position was filled with hazy smoke everywhere.  Because the line of sight is blocked.  This also means that the originally organized troops were separated from their original comrades during the charge, so they could only find their closest comrades on the spot to form a new assault team. Soldiers often followed the sound of gunfire to find their comrades.  .  The unique crisp bursts of the Thompson submachine guns and Garand rifles equipped by the Seventh Army have become the best source of search. Even in poor visibility conditions, soldiers can often find their own guns due to the sound of gunfire.  Comrades.

    The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes. At this time, the dust and smoke that filled the position began to slowly fall under the influence of the wind. This also allowed the soldiers to see targets more than ten or even twenty meters away more clearly.  Accompanied by the rumbling explosions on the position, they could even hear the desperate roars of the Japanese soldiers. Although the sight was still not very good, they could still see that the explosions of shells falling in front of the Japanese positions would always  Some Japanese troops were blown up.  And among these roars were the screams of the wounded Japanese soldiers

    The sun rose slowly. The sun in June was very hot. It quickly dispelled the haze that originally shrouded the battlefield and spread the golden sunshine on the earth.  A light mist hung over the sky.  Through the mist, you can see the stretching barbed wire fences on the fields, hills and positions, as well as the trenches with turned black soil. The stretching trenches are full of corpses of dead soldiers, wearing gray-green and khaki yellow uniforms.  Wearing military uniforms, they fell in densely packed piles in the trenches and mud.  Life is so cheap at this moment.

    The time now is 9:15 in the morning. At this time, the gunfire has completely stopped, and the land for several kilometers has fallen into an eerie silence.

    ¡°Creak, creak, creak¡­¡± A creaking sound came from the position.  Two generals wearing khaki woolen general uniforms, protected by dozens of soldiers, stepped on the knee-deep floating soil to inspect the position. These two generals were the commanding officers.Fusutaro Toshima and Teiichi Yoshimoto fought with the Seventh Army on the opposite side for a day and a night.

    Their faces were all ugly at this moment. None of them expected that after being suppressed and beaten by them for a day and night, the Chinese army on the opposite side would actually surge up to launch a counterattack against them, and the intensity of the counterattack was so fierce and decisive. This is also  It was beyond their expectation.

    Toshima Fuotaro took a deep breath and asked: "Yoshimoto-kun, have the results of last night's casualties come out?"

    Yoshimoto Seiichi shook his head solemnly, "Not yet, but it can be expected that the casualties will not be too few. Captain Akashi Genjiro has just reported to me that his fourth wing can no longer gather a squadron.  "

    "Report!"

    At this time, a staff officer trotted up and handed Yoshimoto Sadaichi a note.  Yoshimoto Seiichi took the note and glanced at it quickly, then his face suddenly turned pale, and his body couldn't help but shake a few times.

    "Yoshimoto-kun, what happened?" Toshima Fuotaro came over.

    Yoshimoto Sadao handed a note to Toshima Fuotaro. He looked ahead without saying a word, his face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

    "Nani, how is this possible?" Looking at the number five thousand eight hundred and thirty-six written on the note, Fusutaro Toshima felt as if he had been hit by an electric current. The hairs all over his body stood up, and his whole body was filled with shock.  A dull look.

    As Japan's most elite field horse division with the 44 system, the Second Division has four infantry regiments, a heavy artillery regiment, an engineering regiment, a cavalry regiment and a baggage regiment. The entire division has a total strength of  There were more than 28,000 people, but nearly 6,000 people were lost after just one day and night of fighting.  What does this mean? It means that as long as this battle continues for another three to four days, the Second Division can disappear from the Japanese army's structure!  (To be continued)
