The mortars under Zhang Ercheng adjusted the angle of the shelling one after another, and the shells rushed away with "rubbing", and landed around the four devil tanks that were desperately rushing towards the position, and exploded, generating clouds of thick smoke, and the mortar shells were less powerful, although they could not cause actual damage to the devil tanks that rushed over, but at least they covered the brothers of the demolition group who were approaching in front of the devil tanks.
Under the cover of the smoke of the shell explosion, the remaining three groups of six brothers of the demolition group pulled the fuse of the explosive bag and the grenade, and suddenly rushed towards the devil tank in the rapid combustion of the fuse of the "snort".
This scene was really seen by the fat man on the position, he couldn't help but turn his head, closed his eyes in pain, at this moment, only heard an earth-shattering explosion, the six good brothers and the devil's three tanks were blown up by the explosive shock wave of the explosive package, the tank was blown up to the track, immediately stopped, lying there still still, the turret above was also blown out, and fell on the ground a few meters away.
The tank, which was still majestic and majestic a minute ago, is now a pile of scrap metal burning with raging fire, and the six brothers of the demolition team will forever embrace Pingqiao, the land of Jiangbei Water Town.
The fat man saw with his own eyes that all the twelve good brothers of the demolition team were sacrificed in front of the devil tank, and he was sad and indignant, and shouted to the brothers on the battlefield in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, I will fight hard against the devil infantry to avenge the sacrificed brothers."
Zhang Ercheng of the artillery company immediately seized the opportunity and immediately ordered his artillery brothers to hurry up and open artillery bombardment.
All kinds of guns on the position that can get the little devils are spraying tongues of fire, the roar of Maxine heavy machine guns and Czech light machine guns resounded throughout the Pingqiao position, Hanyang and Zhongcheng, and the 38 big covers captured from the devils were also "crackling" at this time shooting at the attacking little devils, the little devils on the opposite side paused and retreated a little after being bombarded by Zhang Ercheng, and immediately rearranged the attack formation under the threat of the heavy machine guns of the Sasaki devils' supervisory team.
A series of frenzied attacks were launched on the side of the position.
The brothers on the battlefield kept falling under the bullets of the little devil, a young man next to the fat man was directly shot in the head by a bullet, and his head was blown off by a large-caliber machine gun bullet, and the flesh and blood fell to the fat man's side in a blur, and the red blood splashed the fat man's body, and the fat man didn't have time to wipe the blood on his body, and ordered the brothers on the position with his throat.
"The brothers on the left pay attention to the machine gun fire of the devil, and the one on the right should go and plug the gap, and never let the devil rush into the trenches, Zhang Ercheng, you quickly speed up the shelling, the brothers in the middle are about to be unable to resist, what are you still rubbing there?"
In the face of the onslaught of thousands of little devils, it was really difficult for the fat man, although he was an expert who was good at holding his position, but the absolute number disadvantage of four to one and the continuous onslaught of the little devils made the fat man feel that he was about to be unable to bear it, and the brothers on the position were hit by flying bullets one by one and fell, and there was a danger that was about to be broken by the devils everywhere in the position.
Although the fat man ran around and commanded with his throat, people who knew a little bit of military knowledge felt that in this case, the fat man could only support more than ten minutes at most, and the devil wing captain Sasaki on the opposite side had already pressed all the last brigade in his hand, and planned to give the fat man who was holding the Pingqiao position another heavy blow, completely crushing the fighting spirit of the defending team of the New Fourth Army on the opposite side, and conquering the entire strategic Pingqiao in one fell swoop.
The brothers reported to the fat man: "Commander, there are more than ten little devils on the left position, and the brothers are fighting with them hand-to-hand."
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly called out to a dozen or so brothers in the center of the position and shouted: "Come with me and beat me out of the little devil who burst in."
As soon as the fat man wanted to lead the men and horses over, he heard a howl of little devils from the right flank of the position, and a brother covered in scars and blood stumbled over and reported: "The brothers in the right position are all dead, and hundreds of little devils have suddenly entered."
As soon as the fat man heard that the right position was lost, and the left side would not be protected, a large number of devil soldiers wearing yellow uniforms rushed up in front of him, and his head immediately "buzzed", and he gritted his teeth and ordered his brothers: "Hurry up and ask the brothers on the right to gather in the center of the position, Zhang Ercheng, Zhang Ercheng, you quickly open artillery to cover the brothers on the right position."
Zhang Ercheng was in a daze at those mortars at this time: "There are no shells, not a single shell is gone, our brothers have all picked up rifles and become infantry in the trenches" The left and right sides of the position are about to be lost, the only artillery team in the middle of the fire support Zhang Ercheng's artillery has exhausted all the shells, and in the open space opposite the center of the position, the devil infantry who rushed first is only three or four hundred meters away from the position, and all kinds of shells of various sizes are scattered around the position like rain, and many brothers who shuttled in the trenches were blown up by these shells, and their bodies floated into the air like a big kite with a broken line, and then fell heavily to the ground, and died in battle.
The fat man saw that the situation was critical, and hurriedly discussed it with Zhang Ercheng, gritted his teeth and stood up and said to several company commanders: "Brothers, it seems that this time we are going to die here with the little devils, tell the brothers, hurry up and get on the bayonet, anyway, it is a death, before we die, we will give the little devil on the opposite side a counter-impact to be a soldier is death, and we will also die on the way to the charge."
The brothers who could still fight on the battlefield ordered to install bayonets, and the fat man even picked up a big knife that fell to the ground, pointed forward, and just wanted to give the order to attack, when he heard a familiar military horn sound suddenly sounded behind the devil, and the sound of "ticking and ticking" was so pleasant and beautiful to the fat man who was now in a desperate situation and ready to make a final fight, so crisp and pleasing to the ear.
Since receiving the distress information that the fat man was besieged by the Miyamoto Brigade, Zhou Wu ordered all the comrades of the independent brigade on the march to throw away everything except guns and ammunition, and rushed towards the direction of Pingqiao as fast as possible.
At this time, at the critical juncture when the left and right flanks of the fat man's position were broken by the Sasaki United, one more step away, maybe this flat bridge position will fall, and the fat man and his more than 300 heroic brothers will also be killed under the guns and bayonets of the devil.
Zhou Wu brought more than 2,000 men and horses, and all of them were brothers from the main force of the independent brigade and the special service regiment, although they ran all the way and consumed a lot of physical strength, but these brave and combative brothers of the New Fourth Army saw Miyamoto's devil brigade in front of them, and they were immediately excited, and without taking a breath, they immediately threw themselves into a fierce attack on the back of Miyamoto's devils.
At this time, most of the forces of Miyamoto's brigade had been put into the Sasaki wing that was storming the front line of the flat bridge, and the two devil brigades on the left and right sides that were originally protecting the flanks of his brigade headquarters were also transferred to the frontal position by Miyamoto to assist Sasaki in attacking the fat man's flat bridge position.
Now Miyamoto has only one devil squadron of four or five hundred little devils around him, and even the artillery brigade of his brigade has been drawn to the front in order to support the Sasaki Wing to storm the Hirahashi position, and now it is suddenly attacked by more than 2,000 independent brigades behind Zhouwu, Miyamoto felt a panic in his heart, afraid that his brigade would be outflanked by the independent brigade, so he hurriedly ordered the Sasaki Wing in front to suspend the attack on the Hirahashi fat man's position, and draw out a part of the devils to return to the brigade headquarters to relieve the siege.
Miyamoto is an old slippery head, this time he was reluctant to take the brigade out of Huai'an City to reinforce Yancheng, but he couldn't withstand the repeated strict orders of the Nanjing Devil Command, and there was no way to go east for reinforcements.
Originally, he thought that the Sasaki Wing on the front line of Pingqiao should be able to solve the problem quickly and continue to advance eastward, but he did not expect to be stubbornly resisted by the fat man, and attacked for more than an hour, losing four advanced tanks and many devil soldiers who failed to take down Pingqiao, at this time Miyamoto thought about retreating to Huai'an.
It just so happened that Zhou Wu's large army suddenly appeared behind him at this time, and Miyamoto was unexpectedly for Zhou Wu's fall from the sky, he originally thought that even if Zhou Wu received the news, with the distance from Hudong Town to Pingqiao, it would definitely not be possible to catch up in three or four hours.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wu and they only took a little more than an hour to arrive quickly, and without taking a breath, they immediately threw themselves into a fierce attack on his Miyamoto's back, so Miyamoto made up his mind and ordered Sasaki's wing to suspend the attack on the Hirahashi position and divide a part of the troops back to rescue the brigade headquarters.
At this time, a devil communication soldier took an urgent telegram and reported to Miyamoto: "Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, Commander of the Noda Military Police of Huai'an City, there are two New Fourth Army teams of nearly seven or eight thousand people are storming the east and west gates of Huai'an City, and the troops defending the city are not enough, I hope that Your Excellency the Brigade Commander will divide troops to rescue you."
As soon as Miyamoto heard the critical information of Huai'an City, he thought that his nest was now besieged by the New Fourth Army, so it was okay, although these New Fourth Army lacked siege equipment, but as long as there were many people, Huai'an City was also dangerous, and it was necessary to retreat immediately. t1706231537:
