Chapter 575 Divine Soldiers Descend From Heaven! (Ask for a monthly ticket for the New Year!)

Jiebei Village is an obscure mountain village, located at the foot of a hill that is no more than 80 meters high.

However, the road from Huzhou to Guangde County is only 300 meters away from Jiepai Village. Therefore, this mountain pass, which is less than one mile away from the village, has become a battleground between the Chinese and Japanese armies.

On both sides of the mountain pass, there is actually the central main position of the 145rd Brigade of the 433th Division. The entire position was excavated all day and night. According to the mountain situation, a full five infantry companies dug three trenches on this mountain stretching nearly 3 miles wide. , Condescending to resist the invading Japanese army.

The right wing of the Liu Ruzhai Regiment was deployed on a hill nearly three miles away, and there was also a small road for people to enter the mountain. From there, you can take a detour to the main road about two kilometers away from Jiepai Village.

This is also the reason why a regiment of thousands of people ran on the road noisily and was not discovered by the 145th Division.

In the past time and space, it was the regiment who ran away, which caused the Japanese army to enter the entire defense line from here, thus encircling the remaining more than 2000 Sichuan troops on three sides. In the end, the entire army did not retreat, resulting in the capture of Guangde County.

Fortunately, because there is a shortcut, even though it is six or seven miles away from the main position of Jiepai Village, under the leadership of Tang Dao, the first battalion and the second company of the Xueshi Regiment ran all the way, and it took only 10 minutes to return to the position .

At that time, the guard company from the headquarters of the 145th Division was still one mile away from the left-wing position.

Yes, after persuading the Sichuan army and promising that he would personally command them in the Battle of Guangde, Tang Dao immediately put it into practice.

The second and third battalions, which were finally forced to make a statement, were led by Leng Feng and the first company to retreat, and joined the main force of the independent battalion led by Lei Xiong. Reinforcement of positions previously abandoned by them.

In order to speed up, both the first company and the second company came down from the mountain. The heavy firepower of two heavy machine guns and two mortars in each company made the Sichuan Army, which only had three heavy machine guns, amazed.

Except for the heavy firepower, the squad leader in the infantry platoon all wears submachine guns, the squad mates all wear shell guns, and the light machine gunners still have Japanese pistols in their waists. The Sichuan soldiers who are qualified to be equipped with shell guns are drooling enviously.

Only now did they really believe what Tang Dao said earlier, 'If they insist on going their own way, maybe one fifth of them can escape into the mountains'.

With such a strong firepower configuration, and condescending, no matter how many of them there are, I am afraid that the final outcome will only be corpses.

With such a strong comrade-in-arms, coupled with the shame aroused by Tang Dao's words, the Sichuan army who rekindled their fighting spirit and returned to the battlefield, ran all the way on the mountain road with guns at a speed no slower than the elites of the independent battalion.

This is also the main reason why they were able to reach the battlefield when the Japanese army launched the second wave of attack.

After Liu Ruzhai led a group of main forces to leave, the most desperate person might not be Lieutenant General Rao who was sitting behind the main position, but the infantry platoon who chose to stay on the position.

Because, dozens of them have to face thousands or even more Japanese troops.

Nobody knows if they regret their previous 'heroic' actions because they didn't have the time.

The Japanese artillery bombardment ended 10 minutes ago, and the infantry had already started a tentative attack. However, the infantry platoon that stayed on the initiative launched a counterattack resolutely. Nearly 200 infantry crawled forward to an area about 100 meters away from the first trench. , After paying the price of several soldiers being killed and injured, they retreated voluntarily.

For the more than 30 Sichuan soldiers who stayed on the ground, they knew in their hearts that it was not how dense their firepower was and how accurate their marksmanship was, but that the Japanese army had figured out their reality.

In the next wave of attacks, they will be more targeted and cover with more heavy machine guns.

If there were enough troops, they could take advantage of their large numbers and use rifles and grenades to block the Japanese troops down the hillside tens of meters away.

But now, there are only 36 of them in total, and the only light machine gun was left by the battalion commander when he left with a sigh. They did not dare to use it in the first wave of the Japanese attack, and it was already their last trump card. .

"Platoon leader, I'm afraid!" A soldier with a black face trembled involuntarily as he watched the 'shit yellow' ready to move again in the distance.

"You son of a bitch, be afraid of a hammer, Brother Pao, don't loose your belt!" The second lieutenant platoon leader who was also not tall and thin and weak had a loud voice, and immediately cursed when he heard the word "fear".

However, when he turned his head and saw that the young soldier was so thin that he was almost skinny, and even the smallest military uniform looked huge on him, his heart softened a little.

He was the youngest soldier in the entire infantry regiment. Because his family was poor and he had five younger siblings to support, he signed up to join the army without telling his family when he was just over fifteen.

As a result, within a month of joining the army, the July 145th Incident broke out. The [-]th Division became the first batch of troops to leave Sichuan because the commander took the initiative to ask for a battle.

The second lieutenant clearly remembered that on the day they were sent off for the expedition, Digua's parents, who were even thinner than him and had never been out of the mountains, forced his five younger siblings to walk in the mountains for two days just to give Digua Give five sweet potatoes.

I heard that it was the ration of their family for two days.

Sweet Potato, holding five sweet potatoes, was crying very sadly, and the parents standing beside the line were crying even louder, causing the two babies on their backs and arms to cry with snot all over their faces.

The second lieutenant knew what they were crying for. His parents were crying because he couldn’t bear it, and his child, who was not yet an adult, would go to the battlefield. Tiangua cried that he might never see his parents and siblings again in his life. After all, he was only 15 years old and hadn’t experienced it yet. What is life and death.

In the end, the passing division commander saw that the orderly took five silver dollars and gave them to the family. Tiangua carried the five sweet potatoes and followed the army from the mountain city to Yiling by boat, and then walked all the way to Jiangxia and Jinling.

In more than two months, the 145th Division walked two thousand miles abruptly until they reached the battlefield.

However, the Battle of Songhu had already been defeated before they even arrived in Songhu. Several divisions of the Sichuan Army, which were marching on iron feet, were directly thrown into Guangde after Jinling. Came here in summer clothes and straw sandals.

The five sweet potatoes of sweet potatoes have been eaten until now, and there is still one in his arms. Although it is already wrinkled and looks like it will be broken, he is not willing to eat it.

The second lieutenant understood, that was Xiao Digua's last thought for his family, as the sweet potato was still there, the temperature of his parents and siblings was still there.

At this moment, Xiao Bing said he was afraid, of course it was from the heart, because even he himself was afraid.

Who is not afraid of death?
It's just that the man can do whatever he wants. Among the dozens of seriously wounded soldiers, there are more than a dozen of his fellow villagers in the same village and town. If he leaves them and runs away like this, the second lieutenant knows, then he will live in the same village for the rest of his life. In the shadows, he can't go back to his hometown, where he and their parents are.

Maybe, if my parents knew the truth, they wouldn't forgive him either!

Turning his head and looking around, the faces of the soldiers lying on the battle positions, which were sparsely separated by more than ten meters, could not be seen clearly because of the black smoke, but as the Japanese army began to enter the attack state, their bodies were also shaken. Trembling involuntarily.

"Guawazi, I'm afraid, there's something to use!" The second lieutenant sighed slightly, and gently rubbed Sweet Potato's little head. "The Japanese don't kill us because they are afraid. On the contrary, the more we are afraid, the happier they are. Don't you think so?"

"Remember Tugen, did he kneel there and cry, begging the Japanese not to kill him?"

What the second lieutenant was talking about was that during the Battle of Si'an, a position of their infantry company was captured by the Japanese army, and a soldier in their platoon who had no time to escape was found by the Japanese army from the trench.

Tu Gen wanted to live, he raised his hands, knelt on the ground and kept crying and begging, but the second devils of the Puppet Manchuria Jing'an Brigade were not only unmoved, they were even very happy. They kept kicking him and listening to his miserable cries sounds and howls.

In the end, when Tu Gen started to scold them, they used rifle butts and bayonets, and beat him to death in front of the Sichuan soldiers who had rearranged their positions a few hundred meters away and watched all this.

This is also one of the reasons why this Sichuan Army platoon would rather defy military orders than stick to its position!
"Listen to me, if we can't stop those two devils, you can use this, wait for them to surround you, just pull the string. It will be very fast, and it won't hurt at all." The second lieutenant stuffed two grenades into the soldier's arms Li, said softly.

"Yeah!" Xiao Bing nodded.

The grenade with the back cover unscrewed and the crumpled sweet potato were stuck to the soldier's thin chest.

The Sichuan Army Platoon has made final preparations.

Then, the divine soldiers descended from the sky!
