Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

The Kwantung Army departing from Licheng belonged to the Isoya Battalion of the 33th Regiment of the 10rd Brigade of the Infantry of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Manchuria.

The 17th Division is one of the [-] permanent divisions of the Japanese army. Rensuke Isoya and Yoshio Shinozuka served successively as division commanders. They are a strong force in the Japanese army. They once defeated Wang Mingzhang of the Sichuan Army in Teng County with a brigade , but in Taierzhuang planted a big somersault.

Later, in the Battle of Xuzhou, the 33rd Regiment of the 63rd Brigade defeated 4 Dian troops in Yuwang Mountain, and then participated in the Battle of Wuhan.

The captain of the Isoya Battalion, Isoya Renji, is a younger brother of Isoya Rensuke's family. Before the battle started, Isamu Terauchi had conducted a special investigation of this basic information, and the Eighth Route Army also knew all of it.

After a wave of raids by the 279th Regiment, the Japanese army spread out the front to counterattack, and the battlefield situation suddenly fell into a stalemate.

The Japanese commander Renji Isoya hid behind a stone and kept giving orders.

The position of Ren Isogani's second choice is extremely tricky, within the shooting range of the heavy machine gun, but he cannot be hit, and the power of the mortar is also weakened.

"Suppressed by heavy machine gun fire, the first squadron immediately launched a strong attack from the front, the second squadron outflanked from the right flank, and the third squadron counterattacked on the spot!"

At this time, Jigu Lianer also realized that the Eighth Route Army in front of him was a bit difficult. Just now Jigu Lianer saw several valley entrances on the north side of the road, and subconsciously sent more than a dozen soldiers to investigate separately, but no one was there. return.

The mouths of several valleys that were close in front of him seemed to be like mouths wide open, which made Renji Isogani a little uneasy, but he had no choice to retreat after all because of his courage.

Immediately, the flag commander stood up from behind the stone, and was about to wave the flag when he was smashed into a sieve by a heavy machine gun that had been aiming at the position.

Seeing this, Isoya Renji had no choice but to send a few soldiers to inform
Compared with the fierce battle on the frontal battlefield, the hiding place of the 22st Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment and its artillery company on the south side seemed extremely quiet.

The slope on the south side of the Battlefield Highway goes down, and then there is a ravine terrain, covered with bushes, which extend for four to five hundred meters to the cliffs and highlands. Liu Tianming led the soldiers to hide in them, so they were not searched by the Japanese army just now. The team found out.

Liu Tianming couldn't see the situation of the Japanese army on the road clearly, but from the binoculars, he could clearly see the scene where the firepower of the 22nd regiment was knocked out one after another by the Japanese grenadiers on the Houqiuling position.

Liu Tianming suddenly lost his mind, but he didn't order the soldiers to attack.

"Regimental Commander, do you want the artillery to fire a few shells on the road, so as to relieve some pressure on the comrades of the 279th Regiment!" Gao Liangzhu, the first battalion commander of the 22nd Regiment, spoke.

"No, our side will be exposed as soon as the cannon fires. Whenever the Japanese army sets up a few firepower points on the side of the road, we will be a living target if we rush up!" Liu Tianming clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on the battlefield ahead, and Waiting for Ding Wei to send a signal to attack.

At this time, the string in Ding Wei's mind was also tense. In order to create an opportunity for the 22nd Regiment to attack the back of the Japanese army, more Japanese troops must go deep into Houqiiling, and they cannot escape from the battlefield.

Seeing that the fastest advancing small unit of the Japanese army was less than 22 meters away from the position, Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Immediately issue an attack signal to the [-]nd regiment!"

Immediately, a signal flag was erected, and upon seeing this, Liu Tianming immediately ordered: "The first battalion and the guard company follow me to attack, and the mortar company and other assault troops rush down the slope, and give me a hard blow to the little devil who is attacking." boom!"

Since the first part of the 22nd regiment here is responsible for assault missions, all heavy machine guns have been strengthened to the second battalion for blocking missions.

When Liu Tianming gave an order, more than 22 soldiers from the [-]nd Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, bent over one by one, and quickly passed through the bushes.

The clothes of the soldiers were covered with thorn balls and spikes, and many of them had their faces and wrists cut, but all of them gritted their teeth, and no one said anything.

All the attention of the Japanese army was attracted by the frontal battlefield, and they did not notice that an assault force of the Eighth Route Army was quickly attacking from behind.

When the assault troops rushed to the slope, the 22nd artillery company immediately started shelling, hitting the first squadron that was attacking the 279th regiment's position.

At the same time, the four elite troops hiding in the four valleys rushed out together, and the third squadron, which stayed in place to counterattack, was suddenly caught in a double attack.

The soldiers rushing to the front of each team held light machine guns, submachine guns or short guns in their hands, pouring out their firepower on the little devils in front of them.

"Baga, how could there be so many Eighth Route Army suddenly!" Ji Gu Lianer was shocked when he saw the adjutant next to him was shot in the back and fell to the ground. The surprise attack, but I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to ambush on both sides of the road.

Renji Isoya's position could block the frontal attack, but he couldn't block the bullets from behind.

As soon as a machine gunner from the 22nd Regiment was dispatched to the slope, he saw Renji Isogani leaning on the stone with both hands, poking his head out, and looking around suspiciously.

"Let you hide!" The machine gunner put the butt of the Czech light machine gun under his right rib, pulled the trigger with his finger, and the bullets spewed out in the direction of Isoya Renji.

Renji Isoya looked back when he heard the sound, a series of bullets hit his abdomen, and the impact force pushed him against the stone, and then the blood stained the blue-black stone red.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield reversed. The third squadron and half of the machine gun squadron of the Japanese army staying under Houqiu Ridge suffered heavy losses under the attack of more than 1200 people from the Eighth Route Army.

When the short-handed soldiers were handed over, the remaining [-] or so Japanese soldiers tried to fight to the end, but were shot and killed one after another by soldiers with short guns among the crowd.

On the Houqiuling position, taking advantage of the artillery company of the 22nd regiment launching shelling, Ding Wei immediately ordered the soldiers of the 279th regiment on the position to divide into two groups to launch a counterattack.

One way drove the attacking Japanese army down the mountain from the front, and the other way more than [-] soldiers rushed towards the second squadron that was roundabout on the right.

The right-wing Japanese army only had a few hundred men, but they were extremely brave and completely ignored the situation on the battlefield. The soldiers along the way originally wanted to drive the right-wing Japanese army to Dongyang Pass, but who would have expected that they would rush towards the Eighth Route Army soldiers on their own initiative.

The soldiers of the 279th regiment also conducted three-three tactical training. The high-end three-person team was equipped with a short gun, and the low-end was a mix of bayonets and broadswords.

Before the two sides collided with each other, more than forty short guns fired hastily, and a large number of Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell down immediately.

The remaining [-] or so Japanese soldiers did not flinch at all, and then the two sides strangled together, and the soldiers with short guns became the primary targets of the little devil's attack.

This time, the level of the Kwantung Army's bayonet fighting was revealed. The soldiers of the 279th regiment were not weaker than the little devils, but they faced the suicide attack launched by the little devils.

Even though they were shot several times, the ghosts still caused casualties to the soldiers. Soldiers with big knives and bayonets were still able to block them, but those who were singled out with short guns would never be spared.

Fortunately, after all, the soldiers of the 279th regiment occupied the upper peak with their numbers and the firepower of short guns. The Japanese army was gradually divided and strangled. In the end, only six little devils were surrounded together.

More than [-] soldiers who were still able to move tightly surrounded the little devil. Both sides gasped heavily and looked at each other with red eyes.

Immediately, the soldiers of the 279th regiment in the innermost circle clenched their rifles tightly, raised their bayonets slightly, and approached the little devil step by step.

At this time, the soldiers were all red-eyed, and no one mentioned using a short gun to kill the little devil in front of them.

"Kill!" With a burst of shouts of killing, all the little devils fell to the ground, and the most tragic battle on the entire battlefield came to an end.

The majesty and prestige passed by, and the disgusting smell of blood permeated the battlefield.

Ding Wei sat alone on a rock, the rifle in front of him stuck on the ground, and the right hand holding the cigarette trembled a little due to excessive force.

"Old Ding!" Liu Tianming shouted.

Ding Wei looked up and saw that Liu Tianming's left shoulder blade was already wet with blood: "You?"

"Hey, I didn't pay attention, let the little devil dig it out, it's okay!"

"How about the casualties?" Ding Wei asked.

"The overall casualties are not large, but they are larger than expected!" Others may not understand Liu Tianming's ambiguous words, but Ding Wei has a deep understanding.

"Damn it, our two regiments have nearly [-] people here, and this group of Japanese soldiers will never reach a thousand people. This is still using the surprise firepower to eat some of the little devils first, and they beat them like this. This group of little devils It's really hard, I'd rather fight to the death than retreat at Dongyang Pass!" Ding Wei said, frowning.
