Chapter VI The Eve of the Great War
Li Jian received the order that the fifth company would all rush to Yichen Mountain near Wangzhuang 30 miles away. The 771st Regiment had already built a position there and needed to block the attack of one or two Japanese regiments. The 771st Regiment's position of the fifth company, which was the blocking mission, was distributed on another hillside. Our mission was to withstand the attack of three Japanese squadrons, and the nearby Yifang and the Second Company could come to support at any time. On the contrary, if the first and second companies were in a hurry, the fifth company would also go to support.
However, when the fifth company arrived at the position, the Japanese army on the opposite side had already set up camp five miles away and were ready to attack!
However, Li Jian couldn't figure it out, was there this attack in history?
He actually sent out a brigade and a field wing, and there was an artillery brigade in tm. This was simply killing everything!
The 771st Regiment has only a few more than 1,000 people in total, and the weapons and equipment are so poor that they are basically made of old-fashioned things like Hanyang. Some people even use hunting things like Birds!
Even so, there are still nearly 200 people holding big swords and spears. This battle is not easy to fight! Li Jian couldn't help feeling a huge pressure!
Soon, Li Jian led the soldiers to the position to which the 5th Company was about to block. When he saw it, he was stunned. This was also called the position. The trench was less than two feet deep, and the soil on it was soft. Once the bullets came, they could directly pass through the soldiers behind him! This made Li Jian want to curse, who dug the trench! Isn’t this a cheating person?
Li Jian had no choice but to rebuild the fortifications. Fortunately, not all places are like this, for example, the command center is still very solid.
The war is imminent, and the soldiers of the Fifth Company have to dig trenches. Li Jian asked the soldiers to move some stones on the trenches, and the positions are high. If the Japanese want to rush up, they must attack from the bottom up. So, at that time, the stones can be pushed down, hehe. At that time, it will be enough for them to drink a pot!
In this way, after hearing Li Jian's words, Company Commander Zhang immediately summoned the soldiers to move a lot of stones, both big and small. After doing this, the soldiers sat in the trenches to rest and eat. The atmosphere seemed very quiet, as if nothing was as quiet as it was.
Because everyone knows that after this battle, many people will never see each other again, and they will even die themselves! So, now the soldiers are only thinking about how to fight back the enemy and protect their families behind them.
On the other hand, Li Jian gave his other two official rifles to his two brothers in his class, Zhang Dagen and Zhang Dafa. Both were hunters and their marksmanship were not bad, especially his brother Zhang Dagen. Not to mention that he had almost hit every shot, he hadn't had any good guns. He used to basically use old-fashioned rifles with Hanyang, and the age of the gun was probably more than twice his age.
The rifle was almost flattened. How could it be accurate? So I gave them my official rifle. Anyway, it was still there, so it would be better to take it out and fight the Japanese.
Soon, news came from the frontier observation post, saying that the Japanese had started to act, so everyone checked the ammunition, and Li Jian also pressed the last bullet into the bolt. Then he pulled the bolt and lay on the position. Soon, he saw a group of Japanese rushing past with the 38th large hood. There was a team of Japanese hood with more than fifty people. When Li Jian saw it, he always felt something was wrong, so the Japanese were about to come forward soon, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred and eighty,
"Touch" Company Commander Zhang directly shot a Japanese devil, and then everyone fired one after another, and the crooked gang and another old machine gun also fired.
Wait, something was wrong. Li Jian seemed to have thought of something, so he quickly ran to Company Commander Zhang, grabbed Company Commander Zhang, and then said loudly:
"Company Commander Zhang, if you have any problems, hurry up and transfer the machine gun, and then everyone will disperse."
"What did you say? No, you should fight the Japanese well now, don't talk about those useless ones." Company Commander Zhang didn't listen to the dissuasion at all.
"Company Commander Zhang, this group of Japanese devils will retreat soon. They don't want to attack but test our heavy firepower points and personnel distribution, and then launch a shelling!" Li Jian continued to explain loudly.
"Arson Zhang" said in a low voice when he heard this, then grabbed Li Jian and said loudly,
"Is it true?" Li Jian nodded heavily. Then he continued,
"We should easily repel the Japanese attack. After repelling, we must temporarily withdraw from the position as soon as possible. The Japanese shelling will not hit us!"
"Okay, let's listen to you. If something happens, I will kill you first and then commit suicide."
"Don't worry! Company Commander, you must be wrong!" So the two continued to fight the Japanese. After throwing down more than 20 corpses, the Japanese commander of the Japanese army, Captain Yamaguchi Ichiro, was watching the battle situation through a telescope. When he put down the telescope, he said:
"The Chinese army has only two light machine guns, and the rest of the gunshots are chaotic, which is obviously a miscellaneous army. The combat power is very weak. Even so, the imperial army still lost more than 20 people. Baga!"
"This, the Chinese army is very cunning!" said a squadron leader.
"On Lord Zhongzuo, we have figured out the firepower configuration and personnel distribution of the Tujiao Eighth Route Army. Please instruct me if the shelling has begun!" said another squadron leader.
"Baga, it's a shame to use the Imperial Artillery Unit in such an army! However, the brigade commander ordered me to break through quickly, and there were probably a battalion of the Turkish Eighth Route Army opposite us. The troops were scattered and could support at any time. OK! Bombing immediately and destroying the Chinese army."
"Hi"
On Li Jian's side, the casualties of the fifth company were not optimistic! More than 30 casualties, five of them were killed, seven were seriously injured, and the rest were all emotionally injured. However, there was no time to rest at this time, and we must withdraw from the position as soon as possible. Company Commander Zhang immediately gave an order: "Everyone withdraws from the position, hurry up."
When he heard this order, the three platoon leaders and some soldiers were a little puzzled, but looking at Company Commander Zhang's nervous and unquestionable attitude, they immediately withdrew from the position one after another. Li Jian also carried a box and retreated to the back of the position. At this time, Company Commander Zhang came over and said:
"Don't mess with me, boy!"
At this moment, everyone was lying on the ground, waiting for artillery bombardment. Soon, they heard the sound of shells cutting through the sky. For a moment, the fifth company's position was bombarded.
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "..."
...
For a moment, the fifth company's position seemed to be plowed, full of devastation, and every inch of land was attacked by artillery shells. At this time, Company Commander Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and fortunately he heard Li Jian's words.
Otherwise, it would be good if these eighty or ninety people were killed by a single shelling.
There were also several platoon leaders and soldiers who were also shocked. If they hadn't retreated quickly just now, they would have turned into a pile of rotten meat! So they all admired Company Commander Zhang's wit, but they didn't know that this suggestion was proposed by Li Jian.
The shelling lasted about three minutes. After the shelling stopped, Li Jian took a look and said to Company Commander Zhang:
"You can enter the position, the Japanese are about to attack!"
Commander Zhang didn't bother to speak, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone enters the position and prepares to welcome the Japanese attack, hurry!"
Soon the soldiers entered the position one after another, but a dozen soldiers were still injured by the shelling just now, some were scratched by shrapnel, and some were injured by shock. However, Li Jian couldn't care about so many, and after quickly entering the position, he immediately stared at the Japanese.
The Japanese held the gun and slowly approached. Company Commander Zhang was not stupid. When the Japanese got closer, they immediately shot one Japanese and then fired two machine guns at the same time. Li Jian also killed the rank-in sergeant holding the command knife at the first time.
There were only about sixty or seventy Japanese attackers in this wave, and about two teams. The Japanese were not vague and threw grenades and bombs directly. For a while, the Eighth Route Army also suffered a lot of casualties.
After killing the eighth Japanese devil, Li Jian took out his pocket grenade launcher and set it up. He hit the Japanese devils with one shell and directly killed three Japanese devils.
Then, several consecutive shots directly killed nearly twenty Japanese devils. Then Li Jian picked up another grenade, pulled the string, knocked it on his head, threw it out sixty or seventy meters, and threw it directly into the pile of Japanese devils. On the spot, a Japanese devil turned into a pile of minced meat, and more than a dozen Japanese devils were affected, and at least eight Japanese devils were killed.
"Okay, I'm sure I'm not mistaken." He immediately repelled the second wave of attacks from the Japanese. In fact, the Japanese retreated and retreated for more than a dozen people, and the rest were nearly 60 people, all died here. Moreover, the two team leaders asked Li Jian to name the name and directly shot the headshot. The rest, even the military commanders, even Li Jian, were killed. The Japanese retreated, were all Japanese soldiers.
