For Takahashi Shigezo, nearly 6,000 troops were dispatched successively. Under the indiscriminate bombardment from aircraft and artillery, the enemy still stubbornly resisted. Not only did the campaign objectives fail to be achieved, but the Chongqing army also caused more than 1,600 casualties; Leng Xin's opponent was not easy either. Two divisions and one brigade on the northern front were almost crippled. The enemy on the eastern front was still approaching step by step. Even the cooked duck of Pingyuan Brigade broke through under the cover of aircraft. And out.
There are only more than 3,000 people left on the front line in Dong'an, and there are less than six bullets per manpower. If the 63rd Division cannot arrive before dawn, he will personally go into battle to fight the Japanese with bayonets.
Having not slept for two days, Leng Xin looked particularly haggard. She took a gulp of water from the orderly and asked hoarsely: "Have all the wounded been evacuated?"
"It's being withdrawn," Chief of Staff Lu Bochuan sat on the ammunition box and let the military doctor bandage it. He closed his eyes and said, "The teachers and students of the Fifth Provincial Linzhong and Gaochun County Linzhong are responsible for taking care of them. They should be arriving in Jiangnan soon. The hospital."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT He successively founded Jiangsu Provincial No. 5 Linzhong, Jiangnan Provincial No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 temporary primary schools in Yixing, Liyang and Gaochun, as well as county primary and secondary schools.
¡°You will reap melons if you sow melons, and you will reap beans if you sow beans. As soon as this war started, we received enthusiastic support from the rear. Thinking of what kind of revenge the villagers of Yixing, Liyang and Gaochun would suffer if all the troops were really wiped out and the Japanese troops marched in, Leng Xin was heartbroken and wanted to order the entire army to retreat immediately.
Just as he was about to order Staff Liu to truthfully report the situation here to the Chairman, Chief Chen and Chief Gu again, he heard fierce gunfire suddenly coming from the northwest.
Did the Japanese attack?
Leng Xin suddenly stood up and ran out of the command post. While raising his telescope to observe, he yelled at the top of his lungs: "Order the third battalion to resist no matter what. Staff Wang, you take the security squad to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!" "
Before Staff Wang could reply, Staff Liu ran out in joy and said, "Report to the commander, there is a call from Golden Mouse. Three battalions of this unit are launching a general attack on the Japanese army. Please guard our position to prevent Takahashi from escaping!" "
The three battalions of the Golden Mouse launched a general attack on the Japanese. What is this mess?
Leng Xin put down the telescope and glared at him. Only then did Staff Liu realize that he was too excited. He quickly held the message under the light and read: "Sir Leng Junjian, the surrounding Japanese troops have been attracted to the area due to the stubborn resistance of your department. On the Gehu front line, the fighter planes are fleeting. According to the order of Chairman Chiang, our troops will launch a full-scale counterattack against the enemies of Wujin at eleven o'clock. The specific deployment is as follows. I hope your troops will cooperate. "
"Wait," Leng Xin rushed to the map, grabbed the pencil, "Continue!"
As if worried that his comrades in the command post wouldn't hear, Liu Shen suddenly raised his voice several decibels and said, "The first regiment of our brigade, including the forest camp, military law team, and baggage team, totaling 1,823 people, is capturing Changzhou City. , railway station and Chenduqiao Airport; the Chen camp, artillery camp and search team of the 1st Regiment of our brigade, totaling 1,965 people, are ambushing the Japanese special train at the Benniu section of the Beijing-Shanghai line; the 1st Regiment of our brigade Yang Camp and the Second Battalion of the Second Regiment, totaling more than 3,300 people, are destroying Wudan Road, Zhencheng Road, Wuqing Road, Liwu Road, Xiyi Road and the Beijing-Shanghai Line, and setting up ambushes at various traffic arteries to block Nanjing. , Jiangyin and Wuxi direction enemies.
Our brigade, Qiuying, Xieying, and the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment each have three companies, totaling more than 2,680 officers and soldiers. We are launching a general offensive against the enemy in front of your department. We hope that your department will cooperate; our brigade, Qiuying, and the 2nd Regiment, have Each of the two battalions has more than 600 men, and they are clearing out the remaining enemies from Dong'an to the Beijing-Shanghai line. "
The signature is no longer the Golden Mouse, but "Chen Jizu, member of the Wang Puppet Central Committee, member of the Military Commission, and Major General of the Second Guard Brigade, telegraphed at 10:59 in the middle of the night on January 29, 29th of the Republic of China."
As the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Guerrilla Zone of the Third War Zone and the director of the Jiangnan Administration Office, Leng Xin was very familiar with Master Chen, the puppet army. If he had not been hiding in Wubei, he would even organize forces to give him a look. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be friendly forces who were in Cao's camp but in Han's heart, and they were directly under the command of Chairman Chiang and Commander Chen.
Chief of Staff Lu Bochuan suddenly realized this and couldn't help blurting out: "Commander, this opportunity must not come back again. Let's also mobilize the reserve team!"
After paying huge casualties for two full days, Takahashi's main force had long been exhausted. Leng Xin also did not want this overripe peach to be picked by Master Chen, gritting his teeth and said: "The intention of the commissioner and Chief Chen is clear. , order the troops to attack on all fronts!"
"yes!"
Soldiers need to be quick. Young Master Chen didn¡¯t want to be bombed by Japanese soldiers after dawn. As soon as Chen Changlu¡¯s telegram arrived, he ordered the troops to do whatever it took.The price is high, and it is mixed with the exhausted Takahashi's main force, and he will never be given a chance to defend on the spot and wait for reinforcements.
The battle unexpectedly started from behind, and Takahashi was caught off guard. The artillery position was occupied in a blink of an eye. The mud was beaten like boiling water, and water splashed everywhere where the bullets passed.
The Japanese moved extremely fast and were hit by fire. Someone immediately got down, picked up the rifle and pulled the trigger.
"Ping ping ping pong" the Type 38 rifles fired in unison, and the bullets roared and passed over the artillery position, leaving dark red bullet marks. A soldier next to Xie Wenbin groaned and fell into the muddy trench. Red blood seeped out from under his helmet, soon turning his entire face bright red. Blood dripped down his chin, staining the muddy clothes on his body into a large dark red.
"Fourth!"
A soldier rushed forward and hugged the fallen soldier. But the soldier who was shot could no longer hear the shouts of his comrades, and stared at the vast night sky with his eyes wide open.
Xie Wenbin knew the name of the soldier who died. His name was Zhang Yuanchu, and he was a top-class soldier carefully selected from the Broadsword Association. In order to steal this person, I even had a fight with Qiu Chengsong, which left a deep impression on me. But now he didn't have time to worry about that. He picked up the rifle and pulled the trigger, killing a Japanese soldier lying on the ground. After firing this shot, he lowered his head to dodge a bullet, pulled the bolt, pushed the next bullet into the chamber, and popped out from the other side. With one shot, he sent another Japanese to see their god. According to the great god.
When the Japanese army entered the sector of machine gun fire, company commander Xie Wenhu shouted: "Machine gunner!"
The two Czech-style "ta-da-da"s on the left and right spit out tongues of fire. At the same time, the Maxim heavy machine gunner also pressed the trigger, and the canvas belt continued to shorten into the gun. Countless bullets flew past like wasps. The Japanese troops who had just approached the artillery position were swallowed up one by one by the violent metal heat flow.
Machine gun bullets flew across the river beach, causing mud to spray everywhere. Some bullets penetrated Japanese bodies directly. The attacking Japanese soldiers had no choice but to lie down on the uncomfortable mudflat, listening to the bullets fired from the front whizzing past their heads, and blood mist rising from some people's bodies.
"Bangbangbang"
The Japanese grenade was launched and accurately hit the machine gun position. The shooter and deputy shooter were blown aside. In the thick smoke, the figure of the Japanese machine gunner vaguely appeared.
"Da da da!"
A hail of bullets roared in, sending smoke and dust everywhere around the artillery positions. Their machine guns fired accurately and hard, and the bullets flew close to the top of the trenches, causing many officers and soldiers to retract their heads and were suppressed to the point where they could not show their heads to shoot.
Several heavy machine gun positions have become the target of public criticism. The dense rain of bullets splashed the soil in front of the fire points. Although the machine gunners continued to fall, brothers soon stepped up and continued to fire machine guns at the Japanese troops.
Seeing the brothers fall one after another, Master Chen was heartbroken. He put down the telescope and ordered: "Chan Changshou, take the guard platoon to reinforce Camp Xie."
"Travel seat!"
"obey orders!"
This battle was fought without any tactics. If the Japanese counterattack could not be stopped, let alone the siege and annihilation of Gaoqiao, he would not even be able to survive. Chen Changshou gritted his teeth and shouted, "Brothers, follow me." , and jumped over the small canal immediately.
