Chapter 349 Heavy losses
The captain of the guard battalion has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He can be said to be the most brave and skilled fighter among the dozen or so villages around. Otherwise, Lu Jiasheng would not have brought this guy back to be the captain of his guard battalion. It can be said that his skills are considered good in the entire team.
Many people in the team were his disciples. All of his dozen disciples went to the front line this time. Now, there are less than two left. The others are all dead. Most of them died in the raid on the Japanese army camp at night.
The position in front of the guard battalion was originally defended by the Second Regiment of their Infantry Division. Now the commander of the Second Regiment is still resisting there with about a dozen brothers. Except for these dozen people, more than a thousand people in the regiment have all died here.
No one retreated. This was the Luodian area where the fighting was fierce. When you stepped on this place, you would see mud. There might even be soldiers' flesh in it. This was all possible because tens of thousands of people had died in the battle in this area. The total area of this area was not large, so it was normal to see some minced meat.
"You damned Japs, I'm going to fight you to the death!" These were the last words left by the regiment commander. He rushed forward with the last eight grenades in the entire position and immediately rushed into the Japs' team. Unfortunately, these Japs also had their own ideas and they would not rush forward in a swarm. They all scattered. The regiment commander blew himself to death, and he was still taking three or four Japs with him!
"Brothers, Captain Wang of the Second Regiment and thousands of his brothers have all died in the battle. The rest of the battle depends on us." After the guard battalion commander said this, he rushed forward with his big knife and chopped down a Japanese soldier who rushed up with one blow.
"These Chinese want to engage in hand-to-hand combat with us. All of you withdraw your bullets. Engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese." The Japanese devils gave them the infantry drill manual. If they wanted to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they had to withdraw their bullets. Some of our Chinese TV series say that this is a kind of Bushido spirit, but in fact it is not. The main reason they withdrew their bullets is because the March 8th promotion has a strong penetrating power, and they are afraid of accidentally injuring their comrades.
"Kill! Brothers, follow me and chop these bastards into pieces. We can still be companions in the underworld. In the next life, we will still be brothers, and we will kill the Japs together." The guard battalion commander waved his hand, and the hundreds of brothers under his command immediately rushed forward. They were like roaring little tigers. Although their morale was high, it was a pity that their assassination skills were indeed not as good as those of the Jap devils. Moreover, compared with the Type 38 rifle, the Hanyang rifle they used was a bit shorter, which put them at a disadvantage in bayonet fighting.
Relying on his own skills, the guard battalion commander killed three Japanese devils in succession and seriously injured two Japanese devils. The surrounding Japanese devils also saw that this guy was very brave, and several Japanese devils immediately surrounded him. Although other Kuomintang comrades around also wanted to come to help, their numbers were relatively small. It was already very difficult for more than 100 people to fight against more than 300 people, let alone come to help. It was already very difficult to watch their own front.
Just when the guard battalion commander was about to chop off a Japanese soldier's arm, he felt a tightness on his leg. It turned out that a Japanese soldier had already slashed his left leg with a bayonet. Although it did not go deep, it had left a deep wound. No wonder it hurt so much.
These damn Japanese soldiers are really good at taking advantage of every opportunity. They come up here while I'm dealing with others. When the guard battalion commander was about to pick up his sword to chop this guy to death, two Japanese soldiers around him also rushed up. One of them hit the guard battalion commander in the stomach with the butt of a gun, and the other stabbed the battalion commander's arm with a bayonet.
Although the others also wanted to go over to rescue, unfortunately there were several Japanese devils in front of them. It was simply impossible for them to go over. They could only watch their battalion commander being killed by the Japanese devils. Such a brave man died just like that.
"Brothers, let's fight those damn Japs and avenge our battalion commander." A big man grabbed a rifle and smashed it on the head of a little Japs.
Unfortunately, this little Japanese soldier must have been trained before, and he dodged the attack by lying on the ground slightly. Then he stabbed the big guy in the stomach with a bayonet. The big guy covered his eyes when he died, with his eyes open.
When the Japanese devils saw that more and more Chinese soldiers were dying on the position, their officers were so happy that they wanted to jump up. They immediately ordered the reserve battalion behind them to rush up. One battalion could kill all the Chinese soldiers on the position, and then another reserve battalion could go up. They could definitely take the Luodian area in one go.
Lu Jiasheng had already seen that his team was in trouble. It was not that the brothers did not fight hard, but the gap between the weapons in their hands was too big compared to the enemy. As of now, they did not even have bullets. Many people only had the last bullet left. As for grenades, they were long gone. The brothers who were transporting ammunition and equipment had not yet delivered the equipment. By the time they came up, all of us would be dead. In fact, we could not blame the brothers in logistics for not working hard. It was really that the Japanese air force was too powerful. They had not seen our Chinese air force for several days. The Japanese air force attacked those in the logistics transport team in the sky every day.
At the beginning, the Japanese devils used all their air force on the front line, but later one of their officers discovered that the army on the front line had very few supplies, only enough for one day. If all the air force was withdrawn to attack their logistics transport teams, the army on the front line would be out of ammunition and food, which would be more beneficial to the development of the entire war situation. Later, the top level of the Japanese devils adopted the strategy of this officer and ordered their air force to take the initiative to attack, not to deal with the Chinese soldiers on the front line, but to directly attack the logistics transport teams.
It's true that their change in strategy really played its due role. Just like now, the front line is indeed out of ammunition and food.
