Chapter 258
Zhang Lingfu, the leader of the 305th Regiment, has always been a fierce general and received two battle reports in one hour.
They were all fought on this battlefield by a group of brothers. One regiment plus one battalion could easily wipe out two or three thousand Japs.
As if fighting is just for fun, it seems that today's Japanese soldiers have become soft-footed shrimps.
This made Zhang Lingfu unable to bear it any longer, and he looked at the Japanese who were behind him and were still resisting.
He took off his shirt, bare his arms, and rushed towards the Japanese defense line with a machine gun in his arms.
This was not the first time he had done this. The guards around him refused to follow closely, and no one dared to dissuade him.
Everyone knows: This is a ruthless person!
Their leader was sentenced to ten years in prison for killing his wife in passion.
Because the war of resistance needed people like him who could kill, he was released to serve his crimes.
Moreover, Zhang Lingfu, as the regiment leader, personally leads the charge, which can also greatly boost morale.
The breakthrough point chosen by Major General Kanichiro Ueno, commander of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Third Division, was the Wusongkou Fort.
The entire brigade came from the direction of Luodian, and the team behind them was Sakai Taige's brigade.
Captain Sakai Taiga personally led his team to stay at the end and stood firm at the end. With the captain personally supervising the battle, these Japs did not retreat even a step.
Relying on the terrain, a defense line was established on the spot and fired continuously at the attacking national troops.
The one attacking from this direction was Zhang Lingfu's 305th Regiment.
They had been blocked here for half an hour when Zhang Lingfu appeared on the battlefield with his upper body naked.
Thousands of people in the whole regiment suddenly cheered. These soldiers, who had been unable to attack for a long time, were already somewhat demoralized.
All of a sudden, they were all injected with chicken blood and resurrected with full blood.
One by one, they rushed towards the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.
The fatigue just now was gone. The regiment leader charged with a machine gun, and the soldiers rushed even more vigorously.
Each one of them wanted to rush in front of the group leader and block his gun.
A soldier will die for his confidant! Soldiers are also willing to die for such an officer.
Thousands of people from the 305th Regiment launched a charge at the same time. They were not the only national army team to attack the defense lines of Tai Sakai's brigade.
The 302nd Regiment on the other side fought so hard when they saw friendly forces, and their regiment leader Cheng Zhi was also someone who dared to fight without fear of death.
He also saw the same battle report. Friendly troops charged, but he could not retreat.
The 302nd Regiment, the 301st Regiment, the 306th Regiment, and the entire 51st Division simultaneously launched a human sea tactic against the Japanese.
Such a charge with an absolute numerical advantage immediately put Sakai Tai's defense lines into a situation where they were fighting on their own.
Each squadron under it can only fight against the national army troops that are rushing up from their own side.
Matsuyama Saburo's squadron faced the 305th Regiment. Staff Sergeant Tsuruta Ichiro saw the momentum of the 305th Regiment's attack and turned pale with fright.
He suggested to the squad leader Katori Taiji beside him: "Katori-kun! Let's retreat!"
There is a certain reason for this suggestion: they have been holding here for half an hour, and the large force should have retreated a little far.
Seeing the momentum of the national army attacking from the front, Captain Katori Taiji was also a little shaken:
It knew in its heart that it would definitely not be able to hold on this time, but the team leader did not issue the order to retreat.
Not a single Japanese on the entire defense line has escaped, so they don’t dare to make such a move!
Captain Saburo Matsumoto also knew that he could not hold on, but the order he issued was: "Hold! Hold!"
Sergeant Tsuruta Ichiro had to continue to crawl and fire. He saw a group of bare-chested national soldiers on the opposite side charging with machine guns and submachine guns.
The appearance of such a team on the battlefield often means that this is the last thunderous blow for the opponent.
As long as we survive this round of attacks, our defense will be able to hold on.
Otherwise, these devils will die here!
The Japs in Saburo Matsumoto's squadron all knew this, and the machine guns of Shigeru Nozawa and Sho Aso were also firing fiercely.
They tried to make a final struggle, hoping to repel the national army's attack.
Facing an attack by thousands of troops, it is a complete fantasy to defeat them with just one machine gun.
When Zhang Lingfu led his team into the defense line of Saburo Matsumoto's squadron, the defense lines of the entire Sakai Tai brigade collapsed.
The machine guns of Nozawa Shigeru and Aso Sho were the highest priority targets. A dozen soldiers of the 305th Regiment aimed at them and opened fire at the same time.
There was also a machine gun among them, and such firepower sent the two Japs away in an instant.
Seeing that the national army had rushed into the defense line, Captain Saburo Matsumoto ordered loudly: "Fix bayonets!"
There are still about a hundred Japanese soldiers left in this squadron under its command, facing the attack of thousands of national troops.
He also wanted to use hand-to-hand combat for the final struggle.
When Sergeant Ichiro Tsuruta obeyed the order and jumped out of the trench with a Type 38 rifle equipped with a bayonet.
Opposite him, he met Zhang Lingfu, who was bare-armed. He fired a hail of bullets at the charging Japanese.
Machine guns fired back and forth, and the entire Katori Taiji detachment, a dozen or so Japanese, fell under the machine gun fire.
This round of charge wiped out all the Japanese who were left behind by the 17th Infantry Regiment.
After a quick sweep of the battlefield, the 51st Division continued to pursue forward.
Being able to annihilate the entire Japanese brigade was considered a great victory this time.
If it weren't for the two great victories at Baoshan and Wusongkou, the 51st Division's results would have been astonishing.
But now, Commander Wang Yaowu just reported the results to his superiors.
There was no excitement at all.
At the same time, the other divisions participating in the encirclement and suppression campaign also began to pursue and fight fiercely, stimulated by the two battle reports.
These regiment commanders, brigade commanders, division commanders, and corps commanders were first stimulated by the battle reports;
The second is that it can be seen from the battle report: the Japanese soldiers who were surrounded had no reinforcements and no way to escape, so they were doomed.
Under the current circumstances: the victory of the national army is already a certainty.
The only uncertainty is the difference in the number of Japs each participating team can kill.
All armies and divisions now want to kill more Japanese. This is the first time since the beginning of all-out war that such an opportunity has been given.
Who knows when will you want such an opportunity next time?
Wang Jingjiu of the 87th Division had this idea, Yu Jishi of the 58th Division had it, Zhong Song of the 61st Division had it, and so did Huang Jie of the Tax Police Corps.
The morale of the participating teams suddenly rose sharply, which made the 18th Brigade, which was already struggling, even more unable to bear it.
Fortunately, they could already see Wusongkou Fort at this time.
The commander of the Sixth Infantry Regiment, Kuranagi Tatsuji, was already a defeated general and had only the right to make suggestions but not decision-making.
When I returned to the Wusongkou Fort again, I was just serving as a guide for the commander of Kanichiro Ueno's brigade.
Chapter completed!
