Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 458 The Battle of Tragedy
That was destined to be a tragic battle.

In the words of Tang Dao who rushed to the battlefield later: "They retreated not because they were not brave enough, because this encounter is enough to prove everything."

The retreating Chinese army did not have any suppressive firepower, each with only one rifle and only five rounds of ammunition.

However, the Japanese army had grenadiers and machine guns, and the marksmanship of Japanese veterans was also extremely accurate, which was an overwhelming advantage almost from the beginning.

What the Chinese officers and soldiers who were ordered to retreat should do at this moment is to turn around and evacuate immediately, before the Japanese infantry can figure out the situation and take out their habitual center breakthrough and two wings to outflank.

They only need to retreat 600 meters to get fire support from their own line of defense. Although they are pushed back to the dangerous battlefield, they don't have to die on the spot.

Or, throw away all the equipment in the body, use the cover of night, and escape with light clothes. Most of the people will die under the guns of the Japanese army, but there will always be some alive. What if the lucky one is me?
No matter which choice is made, there is always a silver lining.

However, under the leadership of the second lieutenant who had been weak because of his parents in his hometown, none of the 80 soldiers left the battlefield.

Perhaps, they have already left once, although only 1000 meters.No one knows their inner torment in this short 1000 meters journey.

No matter how ordered, the fact is that they abandoned their comrades in arms, and hundreds of comrades in arms will use their lives to build a line of defense to cover their departure.

Just like the second lieutenant who temporarily acted as the supreme commander of the retreating team because of the highest military rank, his eyes showed complexity at the moment he encountered the Japanese army.

First there was astonishment, then panic, then pain, and finally, relief.

Astonished, of course, because he would encounter Japanese invaders here; panic, because as an artillery platoon leader, he did not have very rich experience in infantry command; painful, because besides his 80 infantry, he also had 40 seriously wounded and 14 soldiers. medical staff, including 3 female nurses.

If something happened to the wounded soldier and the female nurse here, even if he died in battle, he would still feel deeply guilty.

But in the end, after all, relieved.

Can't go back after all?No matter they are weak or strong, the Japanese invaders will never let them go.

There is no way, it can only die.

Yes, the existence of the wounded and the medical team doomed the retreating army to face the Japanese army face to face, even if the entire army was wiped out.

Otherwise, the names of all of them will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Of course, for these big soldiers, they don't care about history or not. It's just that the war has been fought so far, and they have already recognized the fact that they are men, Chinese men.

It's a man, and he has to stand up to death.

Retreat is a military order for the future, they are not cowards!

This is actually caused by the environment.

After several consecutive bloody battles and countless life and death, the iron-blooded spirit of generals, officers, and comrades-in-arms has actually quietly penetrated into everyone's bones.

After being unable to abandon, the Chinese soldiers who quickly spread out their formation and shot at the Japanese army reached an agreement in a short period of time, and fought with the Japanese to cover the retreat of the medical team.

Unfortunately, the Japanese commanders were far more cunning than they had imagined. It took only two to three minutes to realize the weakness of the small Chinese army in front of them, which was almost the same size as them.

Three squads of more than 40 Japanese soldiers quickly circled to the two wings because they still had to carry a few wounded, but the medical team of more than a dozen people was forced to withdraw before they could walk more than 100 meters.

Here, at any rate, there were dozens of infantry protecting them, and they were overtaken by Japanese infantry when they moved forward, and the medical team and wounded soldiers could only be slaughtered by the Japanese army.

The firepower of five bullets per capita is naturally unable to confront the Japanese army.

Ten minutes after the battle broke out, the retreating army was already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the approaching Japanese army while the frontline positions in the rear were still fighting tenaciously with the Japanese army constantly attacking the defense line.

The Japanese officers who led the team were ecstatic.

Ever since they entered the battlefield in southeast China, they had no chance to show their unparalleled stabbing skills and bravery.

Whether it is under Songjiang City or in the wilderness chasing the Chinese army, the cunning Chinese always hold all kinds of short guns with fierce firepower, and they can sweep them at a distance of more than ten meters.

I don't know how many brave colleagues fell under the bullets of the Chinese, and the tip of the bayonet that fell from the dust was still shining coldly, but it hurt the eyes of countless warriors of the Imperial Japanese Army.

And now, the opportunity has finally come.

The Chinese have no bullets, and they can show the bravery of the imperial army in this night without any scruples.

"Fire the flares, let the gentlemen teach the Chinese a good lesson, let them know who is the most powerful army on this planet, I want the Chinese to watch their people die under the sword of the imperial warriors with their own eyes." At that time, Captain Taro Aso, the squadron leader of the Aso Squadron of the 36th Infantry Battalion of the 45th Infantry Regiment of the 6th Infantry Brigade, pulled out his command knife and issued a declaration under the crescent moon shining through the dark clouds.

After the Chinese soldiers ran out of ammunition, facing the approach of the Japanese infantry, they chose the only feasible hand-to-hand combat.

Japanese soldiers, in order to quickly resolve the battle, complete the tactical goals assigned by the wing headquarters, and at the same time vent their anger, also chose hand-to-hand combat.

The soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies charged at each other with rifles in their hands, barely making a run-up, and just slammed into each other fiercely.

Blood splashes!
The sudden howling sound even surpassed the previous battlefield where gunshots were blazing.

There are Chinese and Japanese.

No matter how strong a warrior is, after the cold blade enters the body and is turned violently, and the blade stirs between the muscles and bone nerves, he will scream out because of the huge pain from the nerve center.

The Japanese are very conceited, but they have the capital of conceit.

In the first wave of collision, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers were pierced through the chest and abdomen by the bayonets of the Japanese infantry, but only four or five of them were injured by the bayonets of the Liao-made [-] rifles. Most of them were because the Chinese soldiers did not dodge. It is caused by the style of play that does not avoid mutual destruction.

Yes, many soldiers made a decision the moment the Japanese infantry rushed over with bayonets.

life for life.

At the moment when the Japanese bayonet stabbed towards him with a cold light, he did not block or evade, so he complied with the Japanese infantry and bravely greeted him with his chest in his arms.

The bayonet pierces the skin, penetrates the muscles, breaks the bones, and will be hindered by this. Even if it is only 0.5 seconds, the bayonet in the hands of the Chinese soldiers will stab the Japanese infantry in almost the same position.

This way of attacking oneself first and then the enemy is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of the Japanese infantry. No matter how trapped the beast is, the human instinct is to protect one's own life first. Even if you know it is difficult, you still have to struggle, right?
It's not like these Chinese people have such rough tactics, they just change one when they come up.

This almost unreasonable method of warfare caught the Japanese infantry by surprise at the beginning. There were four or five pairs of soldiers on both sides who only met each other face to face. See.

But when the Japanese infantry came to their senses, avoiding their edge first and then dealing with the assassination, the difference in strength between the two sides was exposed, and Chinese soldiers were stabbed to the vital point one after another.

In order to quickly defeat the morale of the Chinese soldiers, the Japanese infantry were extremely cruel. They knew that their opponents had lost the ability to resist due to heavy injuries and would die soon after drawing out their knives. Stirring in the abdominal cavity brought unacceptable pain to people.

However, they miscalculated.

The howl sounded!
"Fuck your grandma!"

"Good day!"

The unwilling scolding of the Chinese soldiers before they died made the battlefield even more bloody.

Some red-eyed Chinese soldiers were even willing to serve as shields for their comrades in arms. After the bayonets of the Japanese infantry pierced their bodies, they immediately threw their guns and held the spears that pierced their bodies. Draw the knife for a second or two, and let the comrades behind you kill the opponent with one knife.

After the war, it was proved that if it wasn't for their death-for-death exchange tactics that appeared from the beginning.

They will never survive 10 minutes.

It was only in the last few minutes of the hand-to-hand battle that the Japanese army discovered why these Chinese soldiers who had caused them headaches fought so desperately.

Behind them, there are wounded soldiers, doctors and nurses, and female soldiers!

ecstatic!
