Chapter 508 Timely Rain
"beat!"
At Chen Dazhuang's command, the soldiers of the new recruits regiment opened fire one after another, and dense bullets were shot at the charging Japanese.
Although the Japanese artillery bombardment destroyed most of the jumping mines, some still did not detonate. The charging Japanese soldiers stepped on the mines from time to time, and were blown to pieces.
"Ah!" With a shrill scream, a Japanese soldier was blown into the sky by a jumping mine, and when he fell down, he had become a mutilated corpse.
Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers were so frightened that they fell to the ground and dared not move.
"Baga! Keep charging! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" The Japanese officer shouted loudly, waving his command knife.
Under the urging of the officers, the Japanese soldiers continued to advance, but their morale had been severely hit and the speed of their attack had slowed down.
Seeing this, Chen Dazhuang sneered, "It seems that the Japanese have also been scared out of their wits."
Political Commissar Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Now is the time to order the soldiers to concentrate their firepower and repel the enemy's attack!"
The soldiers of the new regiment were in high spirits. They aimed at the charging devils and pulled the trigger fiercely. The devils' casualties continued to increase, and the momentum of the attack gradually weakened.
At this moment, these devils are showing their fangs and claws, looking even more crazy...
"attack!"
"attack!"
"at all costs!"
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
The Japanese 20th Division roared in Iwashita Shinan.
The battle has reached a frenzy.
Under the crazy command of Iwashita Shinan, the Japanese 20th Division attacked Longyuan Mountain regardless of casualties.
Relying on superior firepower and favorable terrain, the new recruits put up a tenacious resistance, and the two sides engaged in a fierce tug-of-war.
The roar of the Maxim heavy machine gun, the roar of the Czech light machine gun, and the roar of the mortar intertwined into a symphony of death.
The Japs charged in wave after wave, and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment fired calmly. Bullets poured out like raindrops, knocking down the charging Japs in large numbers.
Although the firepower of the new recruits' regiment was strong, the number of the Japanese devils was too large, and the soldiers of the new recruits' regiment gradually felt overwhelmed.
Chen Dazhuang and Zhao Gang commanded the soldiers to fight and retreat, using the five pre-set defense lines to delay the Japanese attack.
Each line of defense was meticulously planned, with mines, barbed wire, traps, and all kinds of fortifications. Every time the Japanese broke through a line of defense, they had to pay a heavy price.
The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the new recruits also gradually increased...
One front after another blocked the way...
All the way to the fifth line of defense...
The 2,000 new recruits were reduced to 1,200!
Almost eight hundred soldiers remained on Qingshan forever!
As the casualties of the new regiment increased, their firepower was naturally reduced...
The group of devils rushed forward like wild dogs smelling blood. Chen Dazhuang, with a blood-stained bandage on his arm, roared, "Brothers, hold on! Even if you die, take a few people with you!"
Zhao Gang's face was frighteningly pale, and there was a bloody hole on his thigh that was still oozing blood.
He gritted his teeth, changed a magazine, and fired a volley at the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him.
"Commander, Political Commissar, there are too many devils, we..." A young soldier said with fear on his face and a trembling voice.
Chen Dazhuang glared at him fiercely, "Shut up! There are no cowards among the soldiers of the new regiment! Even if there is only one person left, we will fight the devils!"
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and then several shells fell on the attacking Japanese troops. The explosion was deafening, flames shot up into the sky, and the Japanese screams came one after another.
Chen Dali and Zhao Gang were stunned. This shell... was not theirs.
"call……"
"That Brigade Commander Chu..."
"Finally we're here."
"If you don't come again..."
"Let's..."
"I really can't hold on any longer."
"cough……"
"Cough cough cough..."
Political Commissar Zhao Gang coughed a few times.
Then he let out a long sigh.
The current situation.
It seems that the most critical moment has arrived.
Nearly half of the two thousand soldiers in the new regiment were killed or wounded...
How to fight this?
If we continue fighting...what will be the result?
a lot of things.
It actually goes without saying.
……
The temporary headquarters of the Japanese 20th Division.
"what's the situation?"
"Where did the shells come from?"
The commander of the Japanese 20th Division, Iwashita Shinan, was slightly stunned at this moment...
The war situation was originally in a state of disarray.
After much difficulty, we achieved a temporary victory through an all-out offensive...
It looks like a complete victory...
Why suddenly...
It turned out like this?
"The reinforcements from the New 1st Brigade arrived so quickly?"
"They are all at Mingqian Lake..."
"Even if you drive a car, it can't go this fast..."
The Japanese division commander, Iwashita Shinan, frowned at this moment...
To tell the truth.
I was a little panicked at this time.
New Brigade...
That is a thorny existence.
Although it had previously boasted that it could capture Longyuan Mountain within an hour, that was based on the fact that Longyuan Mountain was completely empty and all of its main forces had already left...
And now...
In Longyuan Mountain.
The New First Brigade is an extremely mediocre new regiment...
It actually brought them so much trouble.
I don't even mention how many soldiers were killed by jumping mines during this charge...
And the enemy's new regiment, only two or three thousand men at most? New recruits at that... actually fought their way through, causing the 20th Division to suffer thousands of elite casualties.
This is simply...
It's just a fairy tale!
It sounds extremely incredible.
There is also a kind of...laughable and sad feeling.
"It seems...it doesn't seem to come from Mingqian Lake."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander."
"It's coming from the northwest."
"Could it be the troops from the enemy headquarters in Daxia Bay?"
“But it doesn’t look like…”
"We launched a surprise attack..."
"And the weird thing is..."
"Many of the enemy soldiers were wearing the uniforms of Fencheng soldiers."
"This……"
"Very weird."
The Japanese Colonel Chief of Staff frowned, shook his head while speaking, and his eyes seemed a little distracted.
Expression changes frequently.
"358rd Regiment!"
"This is the 358th Regiment stationed in Heyuan County!"
"According to the latest intelligence."
"They have been reorganized into the Fifth Infantry Brigade under the New First Brigade!"
"It must be them!"
"The New 1st Brigade can't find any other reinforcements..."
"it is good!"
"very good!"
"Humph!"
"How dare the mere 358th Regiment... act so presumptuously in front of our division commander..."
"They've recently recruited several thousand new soldiers. Have they gotten carried away?"
"The former commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei... did have some skills."
"But the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment is actually just that."
"As far as I know, the 4th Mixed Brigade attacked the 358th Regiment and almost destroyed it."
"The combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment is far less than that of one of our infantry regiments!"
"Nothing to worry about!"
The Japanese division commander, Iwashita Shinnan, said with a calm smile.
