Chapter 228 The Bloody Land of Nanjing Defense War Lower
In the front position of the Niushou Mountain Fortress, where the fortifications were completely destroyed, there were only more than 50 people in the first battalion of the Ninth Regiment of the Fifth Brigade, the first battalion of the 10th Regiment and all the survivors of the fourth battalion. Guo Xiangfei, the commander of the fourth battalion, who was scratched by shrapnel on his head, just moved the body of the first battalion commander of the ninth regiment and the first battalion commander of the tenth regiment from the position. To avoid being blown up by the gunfire of the Japanese army.
The outer position of the whole Niushou Mountain Fortress has been blown up with holes by military artillery fire. It is rare to eat bowls with small bowls and plates, and drink with small cups. The shells are thrown at the Chinese garrison position as if they were free of money.
Guo Xiangfei, with a bloody face, shook the handle of the phone vigorously, and there was a noise from the microphone. Guo Xiangfei was naturally very familiar with this sound. This was the busy sound of the disconnection of the phone, which gathered the remnants of the three battalions. Guo Xiangfei numbered the personnel once. He remembered that after the last time he repulsed the Japanese army, there were still two on his positions. Battalion commander, three company commanders and five platoon commanders, more than 260 soldiers.
After the crazy attack of the Japanese army, he was the only officer who was the only one to count the personnel again. The officers of the Rehe Army also adhered to the Huangpu spirit of charging and dying before, so the proportion of casualties of the officers in the fierce battle has been high.
Guo Xiangfei temporarily appointed several commanders, explained his agent after his death, and then silently began to clean up ammunition and weapons.
Almost all the heavy machine guns of the three battalions above the position were destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire, and only a dozen modified Czech light machine guns could be used. In addition, there were a large number of submachine guns, grenades and blasting tubes. Due to the relationship between the Japanese heavy artillery, the 75mm artillery group on the Niushoushan fortress almost fired three rapid fire. The launch position needs to be transferred immediately, so there is little fire support for the front.
Guo Xiangfei looked at the faces blackened by gunpowder smoke. How young and excellent these soldiers are! Every soldier can be called one of the elites in a hundred, placed in [***] other main forces of the Central Army, which are the materials of squad leaders and platoon leaders. The most rare thing is that more than 30% of the soldiers have junior high school or high school or even college culture. If they don't sacrifice here, maybe more than ten years later, they There will also be new generals.
Looking at the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers, Guo Xiangfei's heart was like being cut by a knife. Where he lay was his own brother Guo Xiangyun. The 22-year-old young man was hit by the shells of the Japanese army. The bodies were picked up by Guo Xiangfei one by one. A good man was the defender of the country. He resolutely took his brother to join the army. He has to give an explanation to his mother anyway.
The third brother Guo Xiangcheng and the fourth Guo Xiangrui are both in Chaoyang Fortress. Can they go to the position alive? Guo Xiangfei didn't think too much, and the tense battle also made him have no time to take care of it. The sacrifice of his younger brother made Guo Xiangfei full of unforgettable hatred for himself at this moment.
Guo Xiangfei is an ordinary man from Shandong. At this moment, his hometown Qufu has been under the threat of the military front of the Japanese army. Qufu is the hometown of Kong Sheng. He is famous for his knowledge of books and gifts. Guo Xiangfei studied in the middle of the university and became the laughingstock of some people in his hometown. Now the army has stepped into the Central Plains. In the hinterland, how can I resist the person who doesn't know the shame at all? How can paper inkstone be the opponent of Japanese aircraft and cannons?
Guo Xiangfei has never regretted his decision and his act of encouraging his three brothers to join the army. The only guilt is to take all three brothers away from his mother. I'm sorry for the mother who worked hard to raise her four brothers alone. Thinking of the wrinkles and head on her mother's forehead. With silver hair, Guo Xiangfei felt bursts of bitterness and guilt.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be perfect. Mom, you are just me! Guo Xiangfei knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of his hometown, then took out the pocket watch he had always treasured in his pocket, put it on a stone and smashed it with the butt of a butt of a gun.
Then more than a dozen national coins on his body were also torn and discarded, and then the parts of several anti-tank rifles were dismantled and buried. The soldiers on the side also burned or smashed their personal belongings one after another. If they were captured by themselves, it would be a great shame. Everyone present knew very well that they were afraid that they no reinforcements. The team consumed the strength of three battalions in just one outer position. Even the fifth brigade with eight battalions did not dare to consume the strength of a whole regiment in the outer position on the first day.
Guo Xiangfei looked at the surviving soldiers and said excitedly, "Brothers! Behind us is Nanjing. Nanjing is the capital of the Republic of China. We must not lose. As soldiers, it is our sacred duty and duty to resist aggression. So many of our brothers have died here, saying that we have suffered a lot of casualties, but look at our front line. It is said that our casualties are even greater. We are Huaxia. There are 450,000 tong robes in the great country, and it is said that there are only a few kittens? However, relying on the rapid development after the Meiji Restoration and the national policy of poor military forces, it is said that I can't afford to lose. We can use space for time to drag them down, but at this moment, there is Nanjing City behind us, and we can't give in any more!"
Guo Xiangfei paused for a moment, licked his cracked lips and continued, "Especially there are still hundreds of thousands of people in the city who have not been transferred in time. The nation-state has reached the final critical moment, brothers! Our Rehe Legion is the best-equipped and highest-paid troops. As the saying goes, we use soldiers for a while. The weapons and equipment we use, the military uniforms, and the rice and white noodles we eat are all people's fat! The first thing I'm sorry for losing the war is the people who raised our parents and our food and clothing. I'm sorry for those people! We must not humiliate our Rehe Legion. The Rehe Legion will never be the first to lose its position after the war. It is said that only by stepping on our corpses can we occupy our position. Every inch of the land under our feet is the indivisible sacred land of the motherland. The humiliation of the country will be scolded by digging graves and whips for thousands of years. Let's shed blood here.
Guo Xiangfei stood up and raised his arms and shouted, "Swear to coexist with the position! Vow to live and die with the position!"
Soon, the Japanese army's mountain artillery began to bombard the front position of the Niushou Mountain fortress. The Japanese army's heavy artillery had transferred the firepower to the mountainside and the main peak position, because the front position had been almost razed to the ground by the artillery fire, and the Japanese army's artillery really couldn't find a reference for shelling.
Guo Xiangfei hid in a crater, hanging a row of five "glorious bullets" on his chest, holding a Czech-style light machine gun transformed by Baotou, with a P-18 submachine gun on the side, waiting for the end of the military shelling. Perhaps this is the last moment of his life. Guo Xiangfei's only regret at this moment is that he can't give it to his mother. When you are old, you can't see the children who are about to be born with your own eyes.
Guo Xiangfei touched the suicide note in his arms. It seems that there are still many things to be handed over to his wife. His children will also inherit his father's business in the future. Although China and Japan are two countries, they have long been to the point where there is no you until you die. The girl?
Boom! A close-up bomb made Guo Xiangfei dizzy. If his wife gave birth to a girl, she should study medicine and save more of the lives of officers and soldiers. After Guo Xiangfei made up his mind, he suddenly thought that this damn war would take another 20 years to fight?
With a beast-like shout on the other side of the position, hundreds or even thousands of beasts shouted crazily one after another, "Suddenly!" Guo Xiang poked out half of his shoulder, set up a machine gun and kept pulling the trigger at the dense offensive queue of the Japanese army, and the bullets of revenge suddenly gushed out.
The original green peaks have long been blown up into bare ridges by fierce artillery fire, and the broken trunks fell across the hillside. It can be said that in order to attack Nanjing this time, the Japanese army mobilized three field heavy artillery brigades to participate in the battle, which had been compiled by several wild artillery regiments, plus the attack of various divisions in Nanjing. In the wild artillery wing, the number of 75 mm guns of the Japanese army has exceeded 500.
Although more than 500 guns were nothing to the European battlefield during World War II, and 75mm mountain cannons were rarely included in the battle-level artillery in the European battlefield, it was already very difficult and difficult for the poor and ugly person.
More importantly, Prince Hatohiko of the Imperial Palace used his influence to mobilize a large number of shells from the mainland, which made the artillery of the Japanese army suddenly become rich. However, I also have suffering at this moment, because their arsenals in Fengtian and Xinjing have been frequently attacked by the Air Force of Rehe, and their production facilities It has suffered serious damage, mainly the loss of technical workers and a large number of Chinese workers cutting corners and grinding workers, so the number of shells transported from Fengtian and Xinjing is extremely limited.
The range of the heavy howitzer of the Japanese army is not as far as the German heavy howitzer equipped by Zhang Xuewu, but the training quality of the artillery of the Japanese army is not worse than that of the two heavy artillery brigades of the Rehe Army. Therefore, Zhang Xuewu did not intend to use heavy artillery too early for the front-line battle of Niushou Mountain. He had to wait for himself. Little by little, they pushed their heavy artillery into the range of their own heavy artillery, and then concentrated the firepower of the two heavy artillery brigades to the Japanese heavy artillery brigade to destroy the attack, not to mention that his 240 mm heavy artillery had not been destroyed by the air force.
In terms of the use and concealment of artillery, the selection and replacement of artillery positions, I still have a lot of experience, especially when Chengdeqi's wild artillery regiment played against Zhang Xuewu's artillery regiment, the technology and attack concept of the Chinese artillery shocked me.
I am a nation that is very good at learning and imitating. My weapon design is basically plagiarized in Europe. For the so-called self-innovation, I have added a lot of verbs and pieces that are not necessary to draw snakes at all to highlight its self-design innovation.
