Chapter 21 Strong Soldiers
The 19th Brigade immediately angered the Japanese army opposite.
This time, the 2nd Squadron of the 3rd Infantry Battalion belonging to the 23rd Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Infantry. From 181 people when the landed in Jinshanwei, they fought and reduced their troops all the way. In addition, there were nearly a hundred people left, so they could only gather two infantry teams to attack in turn, and there were not many ammunition and medicine.
However, Noya, the squadron leader of the 2nd Squadron, was a very arrogant Japanese, and the rapid progress along the way also gave him a serious illusion that the Chinese army was piled up with sand, and that as long as the Daria Imperial Army rushed, it would collapse, so there was no intention to withdraw the 1st Squad that was put into the attack.
The captain of the 1st team, Hinata Shi, was also a Japanese devil who was seriously poisoned by the Bushido spirit. Seeing Xu Shijiu launching a counterattack with the remaining dozen veterans, Warrant Officer Hinata Shi was extremely arrogant and ordered the fire support team to stop shooting, and then ordered more than 30 Hinata soldiers to withdraw and come forward with a fierce look.
The 19th Brigade rushed forward with a scream, while the Japanese soldiers moved forward silently. In just a moment, the two sides collided. Li Shuangqin and the twelve soldiers of the spy company also took the opportunity to get up from the small ditch and joined the hand-to-hand combat. This was the first hand-to-hand combat in the Southeast position in the defense of Nanjing.
Lieutenant Noya was lucky enough to witness a high-level hand-to-hand combat performance.
In the view of Lieutenant Noya Yasu, the Hinata team did have physical problems due to the long-distance marching, but their morale was extremely high. The cruel and ruthless killings against Chinese soldiers and civilians along the way made them have a strong sense of psychological superiority when facing Chinese people, so this must be a slaughter without any suspense.
In fact, this is indeed a slaughter without any suspense, but it is not a slaughter of the Chinese army by the Hinata Squad, but a slaughter of the Hinata Squad by the Chinese army. The two Chinese army have about 30 people in total, and the number of people on both sides is basically the same, but the stinging skills of both sides are not at the same level at all.
You should know that the platoon that guards Dongshan Bridge with Gu Wei was reduced from the original 58th Division Guard Battalion. The soldiers of the original 58th Division Guard Battalion were originally elite soldiers selected from one hundred. This elite team fought from Shanghai to Nanjing, and they lost all the way. This was undoubtedly another cruel elimination selection. How powerful should the platoon that survived in the end?
The reason why Xu Shijiu was furious just now was that Gu Wei irresponsibly consumed this powerful soldier on the open terrain of Dongshan Bridge, which was not conducive to persistence. This platoon is not a new platoon, but a real elite. It is a pity that he is not a mother to consume it under the firepower of the Japanese machine guns and grenade launchers.
There is also Li Shuangqin's spy company, which is almost the same.
The soldiers of the spy company were selected by General Rao Guohua from nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the 145th Division. Not only were they good at shooting skills, but they were also very good at stabbing skills. Other officers and soldiers were holding old sleeves. However, the 160 soldiers of the spy company each had a long spear, a short spear and a ghost-headed knife, which was armed to the teeth.
The last twelve veterans brought out by Li Shuangqin from Guangde were the best among the 160 people. How could their skills be simple? When Li Shuangqin and the twelve veterans came into contact with the Japanese army, they saw the ghost-headed sword chopping down and the cold light flew up and down like silver training, and even their heads soared into the sky.
Although the thirty or more Japanese soldiers had undergone strict sting training and were considered strong, they were just ordinary Japanese soldiers after all, and they were just showing off their might in front of ordinary Chinese soldiers. In front of the two powerful soldiers of Xu Shijiu and Li Shuangqiu, the thirty or more Japanese soldiers immediately became the targets of slaughter.
In just a moment, more than 30 days of Wu's soldiers were killed by cutting melons and vegetables, but the Chinese army suffered almost no losses. At the beginning, there were more than 30 people, but in the end there were more than 30 people left.
"Nani?" Lieutenant Noya put down his telescope and couldn't believe his eyes. More than 30 warriors from the Japanese empire were killed by Chinese people like chickens and sheep. After coming from Jinshanwei, the performance of the Chinese army was basically the same as that of sheep, but now the sheep actually tore the wolf pack apart?
"Shoot, shoot..." Lieutenant Noya was so angry that he was furious and roared loudly.
Unfortunately, the Chinese army on the opposite side was not indulging in fighting at all. After killing all Hinata Squad, they broke off without even having to clean the battlefield and retreated. Although Noya's machine gun and grenade launcher were crazily hit, the hit rate was difficult to guarantee because the distance was a thousand meters away.
Lieutenant Noya would naturally not give up, so he immediately led the remaining Japanese troops to chase down the road, but as a result, he stepped into the mine formation arranged by Li Zihan and the engineers. More than half of the soldiers were killed in more than fifty Japanese soldiers on the spot, and two trucks and four three-wheelers were also overturned to the ground. Lieutenant Noya was lucky and saved his life by chance.
Looking at the dozens of wounded soldiers behind him, and then looking at the winding road ahead, Lieutenant Noya didn't dare to continue attacking, so he had to return to Dongshan Bridge in shame.
#############
On the southern foot of Zutang Mountain, Xu Shijiu was taking Li Shuangqin and twelve Sichuan Army veterans up the mountain.
While walking, Xu Shijiu turned around and said to Li Shuangqin: "Captain Li, he is very good at it."
The skills of Li Shuangqin and the twelve Sichuan Army were clearly seen just now. They all said that the Sichuan Army was beggar army plus the double-gun soldiers. This means that the Sichuan Army not only had poor equipment but also smoked smoke and had extremely poor combat effectiveness. However, the Sichuan Army in front of us completely subverted the perception of the Sichuan Army by Xu Shijiu and the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade of the 19th Brigade.
Xu Shijiu and the others didn't know that the Sichuan army in front of them was not an ordinary Sichuan army.
"Where are there, Captain Xu and the brothers of the 19th Brigade are really amazing."
Li Shuangqi waved his hands repeatedly. It was not that he was a pity, but that he really felt that Xu Shijiu and the 19th Brigade were powerful. In the hand-to-hand battle just now, Li Shuangqiu and the twelve Sichuan Army veterans left a deep impression on Xu Shijiu and the others, why did Xu Shijiu and the others also leave an extremely deep impression on Li Shuangqiu and the others?
Moreover, through the simple communication just now, Li Shuangqin and the others already knew that the other party was just an ordinary infantry platoon of the Independent 19th Brigade. Any ordinary infantry platoon had such skills. Then the combat effectiveness of the Independent 19th Brigade was really amazing, and Li Shuangqin and the others were unwilling to accept it.
After chatting around for a long time, Xu Shijiu suddenly asked, "Captain Li, are you from the 145th Division?"
When retreating from Danyang to Nanjing, Xu Shijiu learned from Feng Shengfa that the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army was in Si'an, Guangde area to block and cover the main force of the National Army to retreat. Since then, the 145th Division has been standing in Guangde. It was not until two days ago that there was news that Guangde had been lost, the 145th Division was wiped out, and the division commander Rao Guohua also died in his country.
Xu Shijiu felt that Li Shuangqin and the others were probably the remnants of the 145th Division who broke through the Guangde battlefield.
Li Shuangqin nodded, his expression slightly darkened. When Xu Shijiu talked about the 145th Division, he thought of General Rao Guohua who died outside Guangde City. The twelve Sichuan Army veterans behind Li Shuangqin also lowered their heads. As a soldier in the spy company, they were unable to die with the division. They were all deeply ashamed.
Seeing Li Shuangqi nodding, Xu Shijiu immediately felt awe. He undoubtedly admired the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army. It is no exaggeration to say that if the 145th Division of the Sichuan Army was not in Si'an and Guangde's defensive defense, the Japanese army on the south side would have probably already captured Wuhu, and the more than 500,000 remaining soldiers retreated from the Songhu battlefield had already been made by the Japanese army.
What's more, General Rao Guohua, the commander of the 145th Division, was still killed in Guangde.
Xu Shijiu suddenly held his feet at the sight and shouted: "Everyone has it, salute!
At the order of Xu Shijiu, all the officers and soldiers of the 19th brigade nearby stood at the right moment, either raising their hands or raising their guns to salute Li Shuangliang and the twelve Sichuan Army veterans behind him.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Shuangqin was so anxious that he shook his hands and returned the gifts randomly.
"After the ceremony!" Xu Shijiu accepted the ceremony and then said, "The brothers of the 145th Division are all heroes, so they must be."
"What kind of hero?" Li Shuangqin shook his head repeatedly, "Isn't Guangde still lost in the end? I'm ashamed."
Xu Shijiu said: "It is very rare for your 145th Division to defend Guangde with the strength of one division for so many days. Even if you change to the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps, you may not be able to fight better than you. Heroes are heroes, and you don't have to be humble, especially General Rao Guohua, who is a role model for all Chinese soldiers."
While speaking, the group had already arrived at Hongjue Temple. Xu Shijiu called Cao Mancang and asked him to go to the kitchen to get some food.
Cao Mancang soon walked in with three kids on a tray with thirteen bowls of dough. Li Shuangqiang and the twelve Sichuan Army veterans were indeed hungry. They hadn't eaten for two days. How could they not be hungry? Before Xu Shijiu could he greet them, they brought the big sea bowl and started eating. In just a moment, the big sea bowl in each hand was at its bottom.
Li Shuanggen held the bowl with an unfulfilled feeling and licked the soup at the bottom of the bowl cleanly and said, "Tortoise son, this is the best batter that Lao Wuzi has ever eaten in his life.
The twelve veterans also looked at Xu Shijiu, but they didn't have the nerve to ask for it.
Xu Shijiu smiled and turned to Cao Mancang and said, "Old Cao, go and cook another big pot."
Cao Mancang agreed to go, Li Shuangqian stood up and said, "Captain Xu, why are you embarrassed?"
Xu Shijiu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Captain Li doesn't have to worry about it. We can't take out the delicacies of mountains and seas. A few bowls of dough are still affordable. No matter what, the Sichuan Army belongs to the National Army, right? Everyone is a brother. As long as our 19th Brigade has a bite, it will never let you be hungry."
Li Shuangqian said nothing, and he heard that Xu Shijiu had the intention to incorporate them.
