Chapter 263: College students, you must hold on, reinforcements are coming soon! 1-word chapter!
This time, Junichiro Hatoyama even sent a supervisory team, leaving himself no way out. If he couldn't take the Xiaoyunling position today, it would be even more impossible to take it in the future.
When he saw only one Zero fighter escaping from the battlefield, he knew that everyone, including the brigade commander, had no way to retreat. They could not take Xiaoyunling and could not report to the headquarters. This was also the reason why the brigade commander wanted to fight a decisive battle in advance. The headquarters' patience with them had reached its limit. If they could not deliver satisfactory results, they would be sent to a military court and their families in the mainland would be implicated.
It is precisely because there is no way out that Katayama Ichiro decided to go all out. As his old subordinate, Hatoyama Junichiro is very clear about Katayama Ichiro's current situation. Once their biggest backer falls, everyone will become a victim.
"Tell everyone that we have no way out now. Let them think about their families back home. Once the news of our defeat gets back to the headquarters and reaches the base camp, you should know very well what will happen to your families! Even if we have to fight to the last man today, we must take down the Xiaoyunling position!"
Junichiro Hatoyama's words prompted the Japanese officers who had been reserved before to lead the charge personally. They learned about the situation in their homeland from letters to their relatives and knew very well that even if they died on the battlefield, they could not be deserters. The consequences of that were not something they could bear and would also implicate their families in their homeland.
After several attacks, there were only more than 1,500 people left in the Second Mixed Brigade, including the more than 300 people who were fighting a bloody battle with Li Yunlong. This time the Japanese attack was different from previous ones. As soon as the battle began, Lin Zhenhua felt tremendous pressure.
After suffering more than 200 casualties, thousands of Japanese soldiers directly fought to 100 meters in front of the Xiaoyunling position. Although the two sides did not engage in close combat, casualties were increasing rapidly. As the Japanese soldiers got closer and closer to the main position of Xiaoyunling, they suffered more and more casualties. Facing the fierce firepower of the independent regiment, the Japanese soldiers directly tied grenades to their bodies or held explosive packs in their hands, and launched wave after wave of crazy attacks on the main position of Xiaoyunling.
Even the Japanese artillerymen installed bayonets on their cannons, and they didn't aim at all. They just adopted a relay method, with one person responsible for carrying the cannon and one person responsible for carrying the shells. When one person was killed, a new person would take over to provide artillery support for the attacking Japanese.
It was because of the desperate attack of the Japanese that, after more than 100 casualties, they directly reached 30 meters away from the position, and the two sides started fighting directly. Lin Zhenhua personally took a submachine gun and kept shooting at the attacking Japanese, but it still did not stop the Japanese attack. More and more Japanese broke through the fire blockade of the soldiers and directly entered the position. The two sides fought face to face.
As more and more places were broken through, finally more than 500 Japanese soldiers broke into the position. They were also the last troops of the Japanese. At this time, there was no tricky tactics to use, and they could only fight with their lives.
"Comrades, the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. If we can solve the problem with guns, use guns. If we can't solve the problem with guns, fight the devils with bayonets! At this point, we can't hide anymore. No matter how much it costs, we must keep all the devils who enter our position!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's order, the transport team and the militia fought with the devils with bayonets, and even Lin Zhenhua, who was not very skilled in the art of fighting, rushed forward. Heshang and Duan Peng followed closely on both sides of him to protect his safety. Under the leadership of Lin Zhenhua, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and they fought fiercely with the devils with bayonets.
When Li Yunlong noticed the situation at the position, he immediately said to the two old comrades beside him: "Lao Ding, Lao Kong, the remaining devils will be left to you two. I have to hurry to support the main position. The college student is good at talking, but he is a novice in bayonet fighting. I am worried about his safety! Anyone in our independent regiment can be sacrificed, but not this kid. There are still many things waiting for him to solve. He must not be hurt at all!"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately took over the command from Li Yunlong. Without saying much, they urged Li Yunlong to leave quickly. Li Yunlong took away a company of troops, connected to the main position of Xiaoyunling, and adopted a two-phase pincer attack to start clearing out the Japanese soldiers in the main position!
Lin Zhenhua listened to the gunshots and explosions around his ears, his heart was calm. He had used up all the bullets in his submachine gun. He had already thrown away the submachine gun, took out two mirrored magazines from his waist, and kept shooting at the attacking Japanese. After emptying the magazine, he replaced it with a new one, and emptied two magazines in a row. He picked up the big knife in his hand and chopped at the Japanese's head, but he was accidentally tripped by a small stone below, and the big knife went straight into the Japanese's abdomen, causing the Japanese in front of him to scream in pain.
Lin Zhenhua suddenly pulled out his knife and swung it down fiercely, and the Japanese soldier kneeling in front of him fell silent. He didn't expect that he could kill a Japanese soldier so easily, which made him more confident. He rushed forward, holding the big knife with great force, and yelled: "Damn Japanese soldiers, today I will let you see the power of the turtle knife. The turtle knife will not hit anyone except damn turtles!"
This knife was a system reward obtained by Lin Zhenhua. The blade was very light, but extremely sharp. Lin Zhenhua swung it violently and actually cut off the two bayonets of the devil. Then he turned around and chopped at the devil's rifle. What made Lin Zhenhua feel incredible was that he actually cut off the muzzles of the two devil's rifles.
He didn't expect to have such a magical weapon. The last trace of fear in Lin Zhenhua's heart disappeared completely. He stepped forward fiercely and killed the two Japanese devils in front of him.
Duan Peng and Wei Heshang, who had been in charge of protecting Lin Zhenhua's safety, were stunned. In order to stop the Japanese' sneak attack, they didn't notice what happened at all. When they came to their senses, they found that the two Japanese had been easily dealt with by Lin Zhenhua as easy as cutting melons and vegetables. They were really confused, but when they saw the terrified expressions on the Japanese's faces behind them, they were really confused!
"College student, slow down. The captain asked us to protect you. If anything happens to you, the captain will skin both of us alive!" Monk Wei said with a constipated look on his face.
Duan Peng also joined in the fun and reminded: "College student, you just need to command from behind. The monk and I will be in charge of the charge. Your safety is very important. It's not time for you to fight to the death yet!"
Lin Zhenhua had no time to chat with the two men. The battlefield did not allow for the slightest carelessness. Besides, he fought the Japs with a knife, which boosted the morale of the soldiers and completely suppressed the Japs' momentum. The casualty ratio on both sides was shrinking rapidly. This was the role of momentum on the battlefield.
At this moment, Lin Zhenhua heard Li Yunlong shouting at the top of his voice: "College student, I'm bringing people to support you!"
With the arrival of Li Yunlong's reinforcements, the pressure on Lin Zhenhua's side was greatly relieved, and the morale of their side was further enhanced. Lin Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief and replied loudly: "Lao Li, let's attack the Japanese in the position from both sides. We have killed more than 200 Japanese soldiers, and now there are only a little over 300 left. If we work harder, we can keep all the Japanese in the position!"
Junichiro Hatoyama was also cheering for the Japanese in the position. Now it has come to the last moment. They have already attacked the main position of Xiaoyunling. It would be a pity to give up at this time, not to mention that they have gambled all their fortunes this time. If they cannot take the Xiaoyunling position, they will never have such a good opportunity in the future.
"Warriors, don't forget the rewards that the headquarters promised you. As long as we can capture the Xiaoyunling position, or kill all the defenders on the Xiaoyunling position, the headquarters will reward us. For the honor of our soldiers, for our families in our hometown, for the holy war of the empire, and for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, kill once and for all (charge)!"
Under the leadership of Junichiro Hatoyama, the morale of the Japanese soldiers on the Xiaoyunling position was greatly boosted. The Japanese soldiers who had previously thought of escaping gave up all their thoughts at this moment. With bloodthirsty gleam in their eyes, they launched counterattacks again and again, and the most brutal bloody battle between the two sides began.
The Xiaobaozhuang position where Zhao Gang was located had also entered a critical juncture at this time. In order to capture the Xiaobaozhuang position, the Japanese mobilized all their forces and launched a general attack without leaving any reserve troops. All of their members pressed forward directly, which caused many gaps in the tightly defended Xiaobaozhuang position. Zhao Gang had no choice but to mobilize the last reserve troops to block the Japanese's fierce attack.
But the Japanese did not give up. Less than a quarter of an hour later, they launched another charge. The two sides fought for four hours, but still no one was victorious. The battle lasted until noon, but no troops withdrew, and the soldiers had no time to eat, which caused the physical strength of both sides to be rapidly consumed. However, no one dared to retreat at this time. Once they retreated, they would be defeated.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese once again broke through the defense of the Xiaobaozhuang position. Zhao Gang and others spent a lot of effort but still failed to plug the gap. Even if they sent the last company of reserve troops, it was still of no avail. They had no choice but to fight the Japanese to their death. The enemy and our side also started a fierce hand-to-hand combat at the Xiaobaozhuang position.
The hand-to-hand combat on the two positions started at almost the same time. Without any external aid, each side was struggling to hold on. If anyone could get a fresh force now, they could immediately break the current deadlock. However, neither side had any external aid, so they could only fight by attrition bit by bit.
"Damn it, the Japs are determined to fight us to the end. Now it seems that even if they can win in the end, it will probably be a miserable victory! This must have been planned in advance by the Japs, otherwise they could have retreated in advance and there would be no need to fight to this extent. They are planning to wipe out the independent regiment. The Japs have such a sinister intention!" Li Yunlong immediately saw through the Japs' sinister intentions and cursed.
