Chapter 116 The bloodiest night
Chapter 116 The Bloodiest Night
The dim and low sky above the Liao River was illuminated by bursts of artillery fire and explosion. The orange-yellow and dark red lights were like lightning in dark clouds, tearing open the entire night sky. The roar of artillery shells reached a distance, sweeping through the corridors of western Liaoning. Under such a large-scale destructive scenery created by man, tens of thousands of soldiers of the two countries were about to be put into a battle of dying. In the face of death, noble and barbaric, brave and violent, they would be fully displayed. For a long time afterwards, the soldiers on the front line of the An Meng Army who survived this unprecedented fierce battle suddenly realized that they and the largest army power in East Asia fought a modern war covered by unprecedented firepower in history. All of this was the army in Chinese history that had never encountered before.
After firing four or five thousand shells, the Japanese artillery group finally extended its firepower to the rear. The firepower was completely spread out, not as dense and fierce as it was concentrated on the An Meng Army's front-line position, but it also had a very large lethality. The reserve troops gathered in the rear, mules, horses and carts that transported ammunition to the front, communication soldiers who were nervously checking and restoring communications, and even artillery positions were all hit. Chaos suddenly appeared in the entire rear assembly area. At this time, officers at all levels of the An Meng Army had already
I woke up from the initial shock. Under the bombardment of Japanese artillery shells, I tried my best to control the troops in the bad weather, and the shouts and commands were mixed together. In any case, when the Japanese army rushed to the front line, the reserve troops should be used in time! The artillery positions also braved the interference of Japanese artillery fire, and concentrated the firepower on the Liaohe River completely in accordance with He Sui's orders, and repeatedly slapped the Japanese army's attack. In this battle, both sides fired a single shot, and the artillery had already reached its climax.
With the sound of a sound of commands squeezed out of his chest, the Japanese army in the trench took off their military coats, and the officers wielding the command knife first jumped out of the trench, and then 4,000 Japanese infantry followed at the same time. A huge wave was formed. The artillery had already finished, and it was up to the infantry assault! Compared with the deep and long front line of the An Meng army, the Japanese army was insufficient and could not launch a full-line attack that was restrained and focused. They completely concentrated their forces on a section of the enemy's front line, trying to rush it away with the greatest momentum! The heavy machine guns set up on the firing points in various places in the trench were also clicked
It fired with a crack, and the bullet boards were sent in, and it quickly spit out fire streams to the opposite side. The machine gun launch trajectory was raised, flying over the heads of the surged waves of infantry. The fiery red trajectory drawn in the air was the impact line guided by the infantry. The machine gun bullets falling from the arc could also block the road from the An Meng army reserve team to reinforce. For this attack, the Japanese army did make sufficient preparations and chose the most sudden opportunity to see what the final result was. Do Chinese soldiers still throw away their armor and be invincible like their predecessors before the Japanese army's barbarity and determination?
The first thing to welcome the fierce waves of the Japanese army's charge was the high artillery wall fired on the river surface where the bottom of the Liaohe River was frozen. The whistling shrapnel almost turned this place into a life-devouring morgue. The Japanese officers and soldiers with iron teeth on their big-headed shoes plunged in under the leadership of the squadron leader, and then the neat and dense storm queue was blown out of gaps of large and small. Blood immediately splattered everywhere, and various strange patterns were frozen on the ice. For a moment, the screams of the Japanese army's casualties overwhelmed the sound of the shell explosion! Thousands of Japanese soldiers holding bayonets had to grit their teeth and lower their heads to run. At this point, there was no more
There was room for turning back, so I could only rush through the opposite side and use a bayonet to kill the opponent! This impact distance of several hundred meters was far and long. Although the artillery fire of the An Meng army was blocked by the entire line, the firepower concentrated in their impact areas was not too dense on average. It was just a firepower area assigned by a mountain artillery battalion, but the Japanese army that charged in dense formations had arrived in the Asura hell. Every time the shell exploded, it would hit a large number of them, and there were corpses everywhere on the river. Frozen blood was craters of all sizes. The casualties they paid were no less than the An Meng army who had been hit by unprecedented fire in the trenches!
Lieutenant Bai Su, the company commander of the 9th Company of the 3rd Battalion of the Tangnuwuliang Infantry Regiment of the Anmeng Army, raised his head from the trenches that were beaten to pieces. The sound of Japanese killing and screaming had already passed through the sound of wind and snow and the continuous explosion of artillery shells. Their company was the direction pointed by the Japanese attack. The Japanese army concentrated unprecedentedly dense forces, trying to submerge their company in one fell swoop and achieve a breakthrough. Originally, their position was directly supported by the firepower of the six heavy machine guns from the battalion machine gun platoon and the second regiment headquarters strengthened the firing position set up on a small hill on the rear of the 80mm mortar.
However, the Japanese heavy artillery had concentrated on plowing the entire launching position. The other positions had intermittent fire resurrection and began to design, and the mortars were also added to the chorus of the rear gun group supporting the shooting. The fire position he could count on was dead silent. At this time, he was the only one who was fucking himself! He also took off his coat and called his brothers along the trenches to take off the coats and prepare the bayonets. The grenades were all ready, and the only Louis machine gun was dragged out from the floating mound and put on the drums, ready to have a good time!
He was the cousin of Bai Chi, the former heroic company commander of An Meng Army who died in Suiyuan. At this time, he only thought of his heroic brother. The children of our Bai family were all sacrificed on the front line of national war. This life was worth it! When even the remaining soldiers were ready, the first batch of Japanese devils in the wind and snow had already appeared in front of them with their heads down! These short and fierce Japanese soldiers were all wearing yellow uniforms that looked very similar to An Meng Army and wearing big-brimmed hats. They became staggering because of the long-distance charge. Some of them were still covered in blood, just like a group of evil ghosts that suddenly appeared in Jiuyou. They suddenly appeared in front of Baisu's company, which was only about ten meters away! Baisu shouted.
: "Free shooting! Pitch grenades!" Dozens of Minyuan grenades flew out of their hands. Except for a Louis machine gun, none of the other infantry was throwing grenades madly. The explosion sounded in front of the trenches. The Japanese storm formation was hit by this frontal blow, and they fell down one after another. Almost all the soldiers rushing in front were blown down! A Japanese lieutenant blinded his eyes, ran around wildly, and the sabers swung randomly and even killed one of their own soldiers! After the brothers of the Ninth Company dropped hundreds of grenades in one breath, they finally could not resist the Japanese storm formations that were surging more and more. Groups of Japanese troops finally rushed into their trenches!
The fight was immediately launched in this trench. The long bayonet rifle used by the Japanese army could not be used in the trench. The brothers of the Ninth Company either held the bayonet directly or waved the engineer shovel imported from Germany to stab and chop down the exhausted Japanese troops one by one. However, as the Japanese army jumped in more and more, the fighting between the two sides suddenly became one side. The ferociousness of the Japanese army was also rare, and some people could not use the rifle to look at the Ninth with their empty hands.
Even the brothers rushed over, choked their necks and dug their eyes, and even held the bayonet tightly. They didn't seem to feel their fingers cut off, and they fought tightly. Both sides were completely crazy, waving everything they could catch. The only thing they thought was to put the person in front of them to death, no matter what method they used! The sound of grenade explosions came from time to time in the trenches. It was the brothers of the Nine Company who had reached the last moment simply died with the Japanese!
Bai Su waved the engineer shovel and cut off half of a Japanese officer's head in front of him. His lower abdomen was also poked with a bayonet, but he had no feeling at all. His face was covered with fishy blood and human flesh and internal organs. The Ninth Company was about to hold on. Where are the reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? A Japanese soldier rushed over and hugged his back, and pulled him into the trench. Countless feet stepped on him. Too many Japanese soldiers had already poured into this small trench. Bai Su pulled out the bayonet from the bayonet sheath, and stabbed his backhand from the side of the neck of the Japanese soldier holding him. The devil screamed and let go of his hand. Bai Su was about to stand up when a bayonet pierced into his chest again! Lieutenant An Meng Army, Jiangbei Army School, six months of quick-forming lower-level army
After graduating from the second term of officialdom, Bai Su, who was twenty-one, could clearly feel the cold bayonet penetrated his hot chest and penetrated his internal organs through his ribs. All his strength disappeared from him. Only a gradually dissipated thought was left in his mind. He finally had to fulfill the promise he had made solemnly... As a member of the Qing Army Association, he sacrificed his blood and life on the battlefield to build a powerful new Republic of China! His hands were fumbled around weakly, but he encountered a round Minyuan grenade. He struggled to pull the fire and waited for the arrival of 4.5 seconds to delay the time. With a bang, several Japanese soldiers fell heavily on Lieutenant Bai Su. The heroes and invaders were buried together in a trench full of too many corpses and blood.
Bai Su, born in 1892, was from Liuhe, Nanjing, Gao Xiaowen. He joined the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army at that time as a student soldier to participate in the Northern Expedition. He was immediately selected to receive quick officer training in Jiangbei Army School and volunteered to join the An Meng Army as a platoon leader. He died in battle on the Liaohe Front in 1913. He commanded the Ninth Company to block the Japanese troops' attack for half an hour without fire support, and died in battle with all his Ninth Company, without surviving. He was chased to become a major army major and a hero of the Republic of China, and received a special medal of honor for youth. Another brother of the Bai family, Bai Huo, was the company commander of the ninth "Liaohe" company of the 3rd Battalion of the Tangnu Wuliang Regiment, who was rebuilt after the war, and continued to lead this hero's army.
The reserve team of the Anmeng Army has moved forward. The Tangnu Wuliang Infantry Regiment, who was guarding the front line, was welcoming the Japanese attack on the front, gave the most tenacious resistance to the main force of the Fifth Division, which was so fierce that it thought it was invincible in night battles. Their charge soon lost its spirit after being blocked by artillery fire and melee between trenches. The two main battalions of the Tangnu Wuliang Infantry Regiment were transferred to the Kulun to form an independent "Kulun" mixed infantry regiment, and are still guarding the Outer Mongolian and Chinese prairie. This regiment took an infantry battalion as the base, supplementing the Mongolian and Han children recruited in Suiyuan area, and some battles between the North and South of the North.
The northern soldiers who were willing to stay selected to join this heroic unit were reorganized into a group of more than 2,500 people. During this night attack by the Japanese army, the most tenacious resistance was carried out. The Minyuan grenades they equipped played a huge power in this melee melee. The Japanese army's dense storm formation was blown by the grenade and suffered heavy casualties. In Tianjin, in order to construct work wars in the Northeast frozen land area, imported German engineer shovels were replaced. Because of their lightness and excellent steel fire, they also showed their power in hand-to-hand combat. The exchange ratio between the Japanese army and the An Meng army soldiers during hand-to-hand combat was almost 2:1 or more.
They firmly dragged the Japanese storm troops on the front of the trench they were defending, absorbing almost all their impact momentum. Pulling grenades and dying the Japanese army together became almost a common behavior. The two old-fashioned infantry regiments of the Anmen Army, their sense of honor, combat effectiveness, and national consciousness that have become stronger after the test of combat, shone with the most brilliant brilliance at this moment. After the war, the Japanese army lamented that an Anmen Army infantry regiment may be the most powerful infantry regiment-level unit in East Asia, and they completely wiped out the shame that Chinese soldiers could not fight before! When this regiment fought in the future, the two logos on the helmet commemorating Mongolian operations and Northeastern operations also made them look unique, and were called by foreign enemies and soldiers: "The Double Emblem troops that can be fought the most by the bitch!"
The reserve team is two complete infantry regiments of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Anmeng Army. When the Japanese artillery fire almost dazzled the Anmeng Army, the division commander Shi Chuan, who had been tense and holding on to the war, firmly grasped the troops that were prepared for the battle sequence. The entire Anmeng Army, probably the only division commander who wanted to fight was stubbornly believed that the Japanese army would launch a crazy attack in this bad weather! His troops were gathered near the artillery position, but in the wind and snowy weather, they were only on standby in the open air in the sheltering dead corner next to the hill. He Sui ordered him to disperse the troops into the sheltering department several times, and he had disobeyed the enemy. He made his brothers freeze enough to kill the frostbite that night, there would be hundreds of people. If it weren't for him to predict it, this matter was just
Love is enough for him to go to the military court! When other troops of the An Meng army were blocked in the cover by Japanese artillery fire, they were later disturbed by deep-deep extended shooting. When they could not concentrate the complete and powerful reserve troops for a long time, two regiments of his fourth brigade drove in intact, which became life-saving straw! Li Rui and even He Sui personally arrived at this unit and arranged for them to fight back to the most tight place. The firepower was also reorganized and fought back in the direction of the Tanuwuliang Infantry Regiment. When the Japanese brigade was still fighting bloody on the whole line with the Tanguwuliang Regiment, the An Meng army adjusted its firepower and had already launched a more fierce shelling here with at least half of the cannon mortars!
After the artillery fired continuously in the middle of the night, the barrels and bodies of many artillery were red and hot. When the artillery opened the running bolt, they ran into a burst of blue smoke when they ran away the rags wrapped in snow! Many artillery soldiers were covered with burning bubbles on their hands, but they still kept firing. The copper shells of the shells were piled into small hills on the positions, and the civilians and large chariots were also urgently mobilized at night, and they kept sending ammunition to the artillery in the bad weather. The soldiers were so hot that they took off their coats first, then took off their thick yellow military uniforms, and some even threw off their shirts and loaded them with bare shirts! There was an eighteen-year-old loading hand who loaded hundreds of 75 mm full-charge field shells in one night. By the end of the battle, they were exhausted and sacrificed. You can see how fierce this unprecedented artillery battle was.
He Sui and Li Rui could no longer sit in the cover, so they pulled out the field phone and lay on a hill next to the headquarters to observe the front line. Beside them was a huge crater from a 150-mm howitzer, and they were still emitting a hint of heat, but the two of them didn't care about so much. They were holding telescopes and watching the continued shouting and killing sounds in the direction of the Tangnu Wuliang Infantry Regiment. The flash of the shell explosion had already illuminated the battlefield, sometimes through the sky
In the heavy storm, you can still see the yellow corpses and crowds of Japanese troops extending from the north bank of the Liao River to the south bank, and are still surging forward. However, when they arrived in front of the Tangnu Uliang regiment, they stopped. The bullets flew along the banks of the Liao River, forming a bridge of fire in the air. The side firepower on both sides of the Tangnu Uliang regiment was also resurrected, and cross-fired at the Japanese attack channel. The dull explosion sound of the mortars was mixed with the chorus on the battlefield, bringing greater killing to the Japanese army.
He Sui gritted his teeth and looked at the reserve troops moving forward in the artillery fire. The two regiments were divided into several steps and advanced at the fastest speed. I don’t know which unit even knocked out the red military flag, occasionally flashing among the snowflakes. He nodded heavily: "The reserve troops will be fine! The Tangnu Uliang regiment fought well! If they hadn’t dragged the Japanese army and let them rush in, what would be the rear area that was unprepared and disrupted by artillery fire? It would be really hard to imagine. Maybe you and I would be captured! Damn, I’m sorry for the brothers who died today!”
Li Rui patted his shoulder, and his face was red due to excitement. As such a young army-level chief of staff, he was no worse than those young subordinate officers in terms of passion and excitement: "We have eaten the impact of thousands of Japanese troops and the bombardment of countless shells! We did not allow the Japanese army to reach a breakthrough! The Tangnu Uliang regiment has indeed been tempered into the sharpest saber! After fighting with the true face of the Japanese army, our An Meng army must also temper the sharpest weapons in the commander's hands, for the country and the commander, to wipe out the enemies of all ethnic groups!" His eyes shone, and he panted, and then came to the front of the telescope: "Zhuoran, look, after the reserve team defeated the Japanese army, should we attack? Come and not go, isn't it that the Japanese said we were rude?"
He Sui had calmed down and chose not to hear Li Rui's bold words that had been unusual before. However, when he heard Li Rui's suggestion to attack, he nodded: "Yes, we still have to take the initiative and make the Japanese afraid of us! But if the frontal impact is not achieved, the Japanese will definitely use artillery to respond to their troops retreat!"
He turned his head and shouted at a communications officer guarding the phone: "Help me ask Tao Dingnan where the first division is, and ask Hou Crazyman to answer the phone!" The phone was soon approached, and Tao Dingnan answered the phone. Their first division headquarters was located at the back of almost the front line. They were beaten to death during the shelling. The command failed for a while and lost control of the front line. Only then did the communications command be established. Chief of Staff Wang Ting had already gone out to capture the troops and wanted to draw some troops to cooperate with the reserve team's counterattack. Tao Dingnan guarded the division headquarters and heard He Sui's phone call coming, and almost cried in his voice: "Zhuo Ran... Commander, I didn't control the troops well, and I was beaten by the Japanese. I'm sorry for the casualties brothers..." He Sui said loudly: "Now we will not hold accountable now! We are responsible from top to bottom! Is Hou Crazyman here? How is his wolf Juxu regiment now?"
Tao Dingnan said on the phone: "The cannon fodder Hou is now in my division headquarters, and their horses are sheltering from the snow and snow to the sick horse factory behind. His regiment is very complete, and now my division headquarters is asking for a counterattack mission!" He Sui shouted loudly at the phone, mixed with the sound of shell explosions and reached Tao Dingnan's ears: "You order Hou crazy man to pull up the wolf Juxu regiment, sneak around the Liaohe River from the left wing, and attack their whole family! I will pass the Japanese infantry, and I will be good at touching the Japanese artillery position. If I can take the Japanese command center, I will give him excellent! The Japanese attackers will attack us, we are not vegetarians!"
He Sui heard Tao Dingnan say a few words on the phone, Hou Ming's loud cheers rang. He Sui threw off the phone and looked at the direction of the Japanese attack. The reserve troops had already rushed up and contacted the Japanese army. The sound of artillery guns and shells was in a mixed bag. The shouting and killing sounds were even louder, and they were almost about to rush into the sky. The Japanese artillery fired in depth like crazy, causing considerable casualties to the reserve troops who were reinforced. In this raid battle, the infantry on both sides were equally fierce and tenacious, but the use of Japanese artillery exceeded that of the An Meng army. These still need to be strengthened!
