The Huaihe front, the cold wind is shining, and in a few days it will be the Chinese New Year.But at this time, on both sides of the Huai River, there were dead bodies everywhere, and the heroic anti-Japanese fighters still fiercely hugged the body of the devil after sacrifice, as if they would not let the invaders take a step forward even if they died.It was a vow they made with their lives, and they did it with their lives.Frozen corpses could be seen everywhere, but the fighting was still raging, and the fighting did not stop because of the tens of thousands of dead and wounded on the battlefield.As soon as the sky was dark, the Japanese artillery fire began to cover the last positions of the Nationalist army south of the Huai River.A division of the 51st Army of the Nationalist Army was stationed here, and a day earlier, they had paid the price of sacrificing an entire regiment to open a gap for the troops and reoccupy the positions occupied by the Japanese.Before reinforcements arrived, they had already suffered seventeen Japanese attacks and a whole day of heavy fighting under artillery bombardment.Two officers and men of this division were killed in battle, two deputy division commanders were killed in battle, and only one-third of the officers and men of the division were killed.But before the reinforcements arrived, they did not retreat, and they had no way out.Behind them is the Huai River, they have retreated too far, from Shanghai all the way to here, a large area of land has been lost from the hands of their soldiers, which makes every officer and soldier feel embarrassed.A soldier should repay the country with his death.This is the commander of the division Wu Qi before crossing the river to every officer and soldier in the division, he is ready to live and die with the position, even if there is no reinforcements, he will fight with the Japanese to the last drop of blood.Because what he guards is the great rivers and mountains of his hometown, which is the most sacred territory of the Chinese.The artillery roared through the last trace of darkness before dawn, and Japanese shells of various calibers rained down on the defenders' positions.The flames soared into the sky, engulfing a position that had long been ruined.The soldiers hid in the dilapidated positions, in danger of being swallowed up by artillery fire at any moment.But there was a smile on the corner of their mouths, wiping the blood of the Japanese on the bayonet, and they were glad that they were still alive at the moment.Division Commander Wu Qi had a thick gauze wrapped around his head, and his deep eyes looked into the distance through the half-extended bunker of the headquarters.Clouds of earth kept falling overhead, and it seemed that just one more shell would bury the entire command alive.He couldn't remember how many Japanese artillery attacks there were, and in fact the people at the division command who were still standing behind him couldn't remember.They were numb, and they just remembered that when the Japanese artillery fire stopped, it was time for their ground forces to attack."
How many more people do we have" Wu Qi did not look back, but his words were filled with incomparable vicissitudes."
Division, so far, including the divisional guard company, the reserve company, and the health company, we have less than three thousand people.The artillery battalion is still on the north bank of the river, and we can't get in touch at the moment, so we can't get artillery support. ”The chief of staff on the side took a list and said sadly.In just one day, Wu Qi's entire division crossed the river with more than 10,000 people, and it was beaten to more than 3,000.The tragedy of the battle made everyone who participated in this battle feel cold."
The Japanese artillery fire was so powerful that many of the soldiers were killed by the Japanese artillery fire after their ground attack.Everyone is too tired, when will our reinforcements arrive, and the brothers can't all die here. ”The last remaining regiment commander had a face full of gunsmoke, and the tall man actually shed tears at this time.But no one laughed at him, and no one blamed him.Because everyone knows that this man shed not tears of fear, but tears of grief and indignation for those comrades who died in this battle.The promised reinforcements should have arrived yesterday, and they would have opened the gap first.Then two divisions each crossed the river and formed a triangular defensive formation on their left and right to jointly defend against the Japanese attack.However, reinforcements were delayed, and the radio equipment was damaged, and it was impossible to contact the rear at all.Now there are only two paths in front of Wu Qi, either continue to defend to the death, do everything he has, and use his broken division against the Japanese army, which is several times his own and well-equipped.Either abandon the position, retreat to the other side of the river, rely on the Huai River defense line to resist the enemy, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.But Wu Qi was unwilling, this position was bought by more than 7,000 people under his command with their lives, and it was not blood that was sprinkled here, but the hope of those young people, so he left, Wu Qi was afraid that he would fall into a nightmare for the rest of his life.There was a strange silence in the headquarters, save for the low cry of the regimental commander and the terrifying artillery fire outside the trenches.The sun that had just risen was already covered by the smoke of gunpowder, and the heavens and the earth were gray."
Could it be that my China is not saved, is it possible that my dignified Chinese nation is going to be bullied by the small country of the Japanese invaders, is it so unbearable that my Chinese soldiers" Wu Qi angrily slammed his fist on the earthen wall in front of him, and tears also flowed from his eyes.He is also a soldier, and a general whose country is in danger and bears the infamy of the common people.Can he really retreat from here, can he really give up the land to the Japanese again Wu Qi closed his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and said with a long sigh: "After the Japanese attack this time, the brothers who are still alive will retreat."
Reserve the last bit of strength for us to hold on to the other side of the river. ”An hour later, the Japanese bombardment in the dark finally ended, as if they had finished hitting shells that were about to be scrapped, and in the sparse sound of explosions, the eighteenth charge of the devils began.In the dilapidated trenches of the national army, the soldiers who were still alive crawled out of the trenches one after another.All kinds of weapons were placed on the trenches, and grenades were placed all over the positions.In the army lacking heavy weapons, grenades are undoubtedly weapons that cause great lethality to the Japanese army, and they are also the favorite thing of soldiers."
Sanwazi, sleep well, the little devil is here again, this time you don't have to be afraid.With your old brother Zhang here, my brother will kill two more devils for you, so that you can go home with a good honor. ”A veteran lay on the battlefield with a smile on his face but tears on his face.He seemed to be talking to himself, but at his feet, there was a baby soldier with a relieved smile on his face.This doll is only seventeen years old at most, and the lower half of her body has been blown up, and the wound is blurred, which is miserable.The veteran wiped his face, stared at the short devil rushing in front of him, cursed in his mouth, and pressed his hand tightly on the trigger.The same scene was played out everywhere in the position.There are no survivors anymore, they still have hope of life, and they just laugh and talk in the face of death.At this moment, they only have hatred from the depths of their hearts, and they want to kill those little devils who attacked, so that none of them can return to their hometown.The devils are getting closer and closer, and this is a charge launched by a devil brigade.Ten French light Renault tanks cleared the way, and the heavy, small tanks looked like turtle shells, making unpleasant noises and slowly moving forward.This Renault light tank was imported from France by Japan, although it had a thin skin and weak firepower, and even a slightly larger caliber gun could make it scrapped immediately.But on the battlefield in China, this tank is very useful.The Japanese are bullying the squadron without heavy weapons, and the biggest enemy this light tank faces is the bullets of the Chinese soldiers.Although its skin is thin, it is still possible to defend against bullets.As long as it is not a continuous strafing of heavy machine gun bullets, this light tank is an invincible presence in the face of squadrons on the battlefield.In the "Forward" devil army, an officer-like man commands the troops to follow closely behind the tanks, using the tanks to cover the soldiers and reduce the damage of the squadron.Light tanks are slow, not much faster than a dog crawling.Every moment of waiting feels like a long century has passed.On the position of the national army, every soldier is waiting for the Japanese to enter the firing range, even if the other side is all tank attack, they have to fight to the death with the Japanese devils."
The death squad is ready, everyone pay attention to cover, and we must kill the devil's Iron King Ba."
A company commander stood at the forefront of the position, and a total of twenty men, including himself, were strapped with explosives.There were less than twenty men left in the company, and all of them were wounded.At this moment, they looked at the company commander and the group of daredevils with tears in their eyes, and many of them let out heart-rending cries.Everyone knows that when you are a daredevil, you are certain to die."
Brothers, don't cry, you won't be able to beat the devil when your eyes are spent.Isn't my brother just a life, he died today, and he will still be a good man eighteen years later.If we can reunite with our brothers at that time, we will finish drinking spirits together and fight devils together again. ”The company commander laughed, and his smile was filled with generosity in sacrificing his life.The rest of the daredevils were also full of pride, as if they had long looked down on life and death.There was no liquor to see them off, there were just tears that the comrades-in-arms couldn't bear to separate.The devils were getting closer and closer, and they had already entered the range of three hundred meters.The tanks began to shell the positions of the squadron, and the devils who followed behind also began to shoot sporadically.And at this time, the squadron was still silent.At two hundred meters, the attacks of the devils became more and more fierce, and the squad machine guns had already covered the squadron's positions.And at this time, the squadron was still silent.A hundred meters, the devils' waists bent lower, and in a long roar from the commanding officer, all the devils let out a roar almost like a beast and launched a charge towards the Chinese position."
Brothers, give me a hard fight for the little devils" At this moment, the Chinese position was full of firepower, and all kinds of weapons spit out deadly projectiles, with hatred and unyielding, and gave all the little devils in the front row to their Amaterasu."
Brothers, cover, brother is gone."
The company commander had just finished firing a shuttle of bullets, dropped his gun and laughed, and rushed out of the trench with his daredevils, rushing towards the devil's tank without looking back.Da Da Da Da.Da-da-da-da.At the moment when he just broke out of the trench, the devil's machine gun immediately swept down several daredevils.The company commander and the rest of the men shouted and lowered their waists, and desperately rushed to the tank, which was only fifty meters away.But these fifty meters seem to have become an insurmountable deep ditch.There were people dying on the road, and by the time the fifty meters were over, only the company commander and a seriously wounded soldier were left."
Good brother, we'll see you on Huangquan Road."
The company commander laughed, and the badly wounded soldier pounced on different tanks.With two loud bangs, two tanks burst into flames and were scrapped in the blazing fire.Boom, boom, boom.As if there was a chain reaction, the Chinese defenders were stunned, and suddenly two Japanese tanks exploded on their own, and the explosion momentum was very strong, and the tanks were directly blown into a black burning iron mass."
Kill.Kill devils" In the distance, amid the roar of artillery fire, a group of cavalry stepped on the blood-stained earth, and quickly killed the Japanese attacking troops, a large flag fluttering in the air, with eye-catching big characters written on it, Independent Brigade."
Reinforcements, reinforcements, our reinforcements are finally here" On the Chinese position, the soldiers who had died for nine days hugged their heads and cried.Today's sixth shift ended, although I was very tired, but I was very happy.To end with Xi Jinping's words, justice will win, peace will win, and the people will win:
