The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 148 Seizing the Japanese Alliance Flag
The form of the battle turned into a close combat at an extremely fast speed. There were about 600 Japanese troops who rushed into the sixth company's position, including the sixth company, the tank defense artillery platoon, the 300nd mortar platoon and the attached heavy equipment. The total number of officers and soldiers in the machine gun company was more than [-], and the Japanese army's strength was almost twice that of the Sixth Company. However, when the battle turned into a melee, it was the Japanese army that suffered the loss.

The Japanese army, who had recovered from the explosion, was preparing to teach the hateful Chinese troops in front of them a lesson in close-range melee combat. The Japanese army's stabbing skills were generally stronger than those of the Chinese army, and most importantly, the Japanese army's The physique and physical fitness are much stronger than that of the Chinese army. This also makes the Japanese army rarely lose in close combat. In many cases, when the two sides fight with firepower, the Japanese army may not be able to take advantage. However, once they fall into close combat, the Chinese army will It will collapse quickly.

However, the good calculations in the minds of these Japanese troops were quickly shattered by the fierce submachine gun fire. The Japanese troops discovered that the close combat firepower of the Chinese troops in the position was far more ferocious than that of the average Chinese army. A large number of submachine guns mopped down swarms of people. The Japanese army, not only that, these Chinese troops also used various firearms to shoot without martial arts, submachine gunners fired, riflemen also fired with rifles, and almost every Chinese soldier carried a three-armed rifle on his back. Type [-] rifle.

Many Japanese soldiers rushed forward excitedly, preparing for a fierce bayonet battle with the Chinese army, but they were killed by bullets before their guns were pierced. Before the battle, He Wei conducted a close-range combat with his troops. Education, the core essence of this education is to shoot if you can, and to empty the last bullet in the gun chamber before attaching the bayonet!
In the melee and chaos, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed by the rifle and submachine gun fire of the Sixth Company. It was not until this time that the battle turned into a real melee combat. It was also a brutal and bloody battle. At the beginning, nearly a thousand troops from both sides were strangled together in such an inch-by-inch position. From this moment on, the Yanzhuang position became a veritable flesh and blood mill.

He Wei fired the last two bullets of the speed machine in his hand. A Japanese soldier fell down at the sound. Then, a Japanese soldier rushed towards He Wei with a [-] cap. He Wei calmly took off the gun from his back. The [-]-type rifle stabbed the Japanese army with its bayonet. He blocked the shot to the left to prevent the Japanese army from thrusting, and then stepped forward and feinted to stab the Japanese army. The Japanese army in front of him hurriedly turned the gun sideways to defend. He Wei Shi Ze immediately put away his gun and slammed the gun butt at the enemy, hitting the Japanese soldier's chest hard with the gun butt.

The Japanese army retreated in pain. He Wei took the opportunity to turn the muzzle of his gun and stab it out. The snow-white bayonet of the Type [-] rifle sank into the Japanese soldier's chest. He Wei twisted the rifle a few more times and pulled out the bayonet, which turned blood red. There is still bright red human tissue hanging on the tip of the bright red bayonet.

"idiot!"

Suddenly, another Japanese sergeant with a big beard pounced on He Wei from behind the trench, holding his command knife high and slashing at him. As soon as his feet stepped into the traffic trench, he fell to the ground with the sound of a gunshot. Tao Heiwa, who was hiding behind He Wei, laughed and ejected the bullet shell of the Type [-] cavalry rifle.

This battle-hardened Japanese sergeant would never have thought that he would be shot to death by a 14-year-old boy soldier.

Another Japanese soldier jumped out and stabbed Tao Heiwa with a bayonet. The ferocious expression on his face frightened Tao Heiwa, so he had to raise his Type [-] cavalry rifle to fight, but the strength of a little kid was so great. After all, he was no match for the strong Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers knocked the rifle out of Tao Heiwa's hand with just one stab.

"The platoon leader!"

In desperation, Tao Heiwa had no choice but to ask for help from his supporter He Wei. Although He Wei had been promoted to acting company commander, Tao Heiwa still habitually called He Wei platoon leader. While calling for help, Tao Heiwa easily He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it towards the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldier was caught off guard. His eyes were squinted by the sand. He shouted Baga. He wiped his eyes and was about to stab Tao Heiwa to death. But before the gun could go out, a huge force twisted his neck, almost Suffocate him.

He Wei twisted the Japanese soldier's neck, twisted it hard to the side of his body, and smashed it down with the speed machine, sending the Japanese soldier to see Amaterasu.

Melee and bloody battle are no longer enough to describe the situation in the Sixth Company position. When the bullets in the hands of the Sixth Company officers and soldiers gradually ran out, and the battle turned into tooth-to-tooth, knife-to-knife melee combat, the Japanese army gradually recovered After all, the assassination skills of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company were strengthened by He Wei in battle, but the Japanese army currently has absolute strength. Advantage, so the battle was extremely brutal, and the casualties of the Sixth Company began to gradually increase.

At first, the two sides stabbed each other with rifles, and later, many people simply struggled together, smashed with their fists, lifted their helmets, even bit them with their teeth, put their hands on their eyes, and strangled their necks with belts and bullet belts. The opponent's deadly fighting methods can be seen everywhere in the fighting teams of the two armies.Many soldiers from both armies even hugged each other and rolled around, wrestling on the ground.

During the scuffle, some Chinese soldiers chose to fire grenades and died together with the Japanese troops. Booming grenade explosions sounded one after another in the position.

The stones, kettles, lunch boxes, and even sand and gravel on the ground have all become weapons for killing people. By this time, the battle has become extremely cruel. The man who was appointed by He Wei personally as the [-]nd Mortar Platoon Sergeant Xu, the acting platoon leader, had already injured one arm in yesterday's battle and was now fighting with the Japanese army.

Four or five Japanese soldiers surrounded Sergeant Xu and several soldiers from the mortar platoon. The two sides fought. A Japanese soldier stabbed two soldiers from the mortar platoon to death. The furious Sergeant Xu was furious. With a shout, he picked up a stone and threw it at it. Then he used his uninjured straight arm to pick up the seat plate of a Jinling-made [-] mortar and hit the Japanese soldier's head hard. The corner of the steel seat plate was directly smashed into the Japanese soldier's head. It hit the Japanese soldier's eye socket, opened a big hole in the Japanese soldier's head, and the red and green brains suddenly burst in all directions.

The seat plate of this [-] mortar came from the mortar that was damaged in yesterday's battle. The seat plate still bears the blood of the brothers who died yesterday. At this time, another Japanese soldier stabbed Sergeant Xu in the back. , a soldier rushed forward and blocked the knife for Sergeant Xu.

"brother!"

Sergeant Xu looked at the fallen soldiers, and with red eyes he was about to take out the mortar seat plate and throw it at him, but he used too much force just now, and the seat plate was stuck in the Japanese soldier's skull and could not be pulled out, so Sergeant Xu had to He pulled out the bayonet of his formal rifle from his waist and stabbed the Japanese soldier crazily, opening more than a dozen bloody holes in the Japanese soldier's body.

Suddenly, Sergeant Xu felt a chill in his heart. He looked back and saw four Japanese soldiers rushing up. Four bayonets had pierced his body. Sergeant Xu shouted and used the last strength of his body to retreat back. , he pressed the four Japanese soldiers against the cliff of the trench, and then took out something from the satchel around his waist that made the four Japanese soldiers turn pale - an [-] mortar shell.

Sergeant Xu took off the safety, hit the mortar shell hard on the helmet, shook it hard, and threw it to the ground. The four Japanese soldiers were pressed against the cliff of the trench by Sergeant Xu, and they looked at the forced soldiers in horror. Shooting shells, but nothing can be done.

"I will take you to see the King of Hell!"

Sergeant Xu spit out a mouthful of blood and said the last words he left to this world.

With a loud bang, the [-] mortar shells exploded, sending shrapnel and flesh and blood flying, and dust and smoke pillars scattered in all directions. The exploding mortar shells took away Sergeant Xu and also took away four Japanese soldiers.

On the battlefield, what is going on is a close combat of nearly 1000 people. On the Chinese battlefield, this is an extremely rare battle mode. Nearly 1000 people are engaged in the most brutal fighting in the most primitive way. And soon, there will be More people are invested in this flesh and blood mill.

Behind the Sixth Company's position, Chen Zhen and Zhang Yongbin had just climbed out of the hiding place. The scene in front of them made them mouth-mouthed. Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the Sixth Company unexpectedly fought with Japanese troops several times their own. They fought together, but the number of Japanese troops was much greater than that of the Sixth Company. Chen Zhen said to Zhang Yongbin: "Old Zhang, it's our turn. Now is the time to risk our lives. There are too many Japanese." I'm afraid He Wei and the others won't be able to hold on!"

Zhang Yongbin nodded and immediately called the bugle. The bugler raised the bugle and blew the assembly bugle. Amid the high-spirited sound of the bugle, the troops of the third battalion quickly walked out of the hiding place and began to assemble. There are not many troops left. The [-]th infantry company of the three battalions and a platoon of heavy machine guns were wiped out in the fight against Japanese tanks. The [-]th infantry company lost more than a platoon in the melee with the Japanese cavalry. Counting all the troops, Chen Zhen and Zhang Yongbin actually had only one and a half infantry companies in their hands.

After the assembly, there was the charge. Chen Zhen picked up a machete and rushed out of the trench first. Zhang Yongbin followed closely, leading more than 200 officers and soldiers of the third battalion to launch an attack.

Accompanying the Charge, these more than 200 soldiers quickly joined the battle group and fought with the Japanese army. When the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company saw reinforcements arriving, their morale was boosted and they worked hard to fight the Japanese army. So far, all the Chinese troops near Yanzhuang have been engaged in the battle, without any exception.

He Wei just pulled out the bayonet from the belly of a Japanese soldier. When he looked up, he saw Xiong Mancang, the cooking squad leader of the Sixth Company, carrying a [-]-meter cover behind him and holding the kitchen knife of the cooking squad in his hand to fight with the Japanese soldiers. Get up, when the war is going on, every soldier is a combatant.

After the Sixth Company received reinforcements from the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion, the number of soldiers was basically the same as that of the Japanese army, and they were no longer at a disadvantage in terms of strength. He Wei was on the rise when he was about to kill. Suddenly, there was a burst of howling like ghosts and wolves in front of the position.

He Wei looked over and saw a group of about 80 Japanese soldiers rushing up screaming. These people were all Japanese artillerymen in front of the position. There were mountain artillerymen from the regiment artillery squadron, infantry artillerymen from the brigade artillery squadron, rapid fire. The rapid-fire gunners of the artillery squadron, as well as the Japanese infantry and health soldiers who were slightly injured in the attack. These miscellaneous Japanese troops saw that the Chinese army had received reinforcements and could not stand it any longer. Some officers sent the gunners and miscellaneous soldiers to Organized.

Anyway, the two sides were now in close hand-to-hand combat, all mixed together, and the artillery could do nothing but stare. These Japanese soldiers picked up the rifles left by the dead Japanese infantry in the open field, and rushed over under the leadership of several officers. .

"Hei Wa, come with me."

He Wei called Tao Heiwa, grabbed him and rushed to a nearby bunker. He Wei asked Tao Heiwa to guard the exit of the bunker, and he ran to the arm seat of the bunker's shooting port, where there was a Jinling-made gun. Type [-] heavy machine gun, He Wei opened the water inlet on the machine gun cooling water barrel and saw that there was still water inside. There was about half a box of bullets left in the bullet box. He Wei immediately loaded the heavy machine gun and turned the muzzle to charge at the Japanese army. The direction he came from pulled the trigger. "Da da da da da da da da"

A string of machine gun bullets were fired, the toggle locking mechanism of the Type 30 heavy machine gun continued to reciprocate, He Wei kept turning the machine gun in his hand, and the Japanese troops in the open field were mopped down in pieces. These improvised pieces of The combat quality of the artillery and orderly soldiers was much worse than that of the Japanese infantry. After He Wei fired all the bullets in the ammunition boxes, more than [-] more corpses appeared in the open field.

After firing up all the heavy machine gun ammunition, He Wei came to the back of a Jin-made [-]-type heavy machine gun. There was a bullet-protecting plate inserted into the bullet inlet of this heavy machine gun, and half of the bullet plate was not finished. Without saying a word, He Wei knocked out half of the spring board and killed seven or eight more Japanese soldiers.

The rushing Japanese troops were attacked by He Wei's firepower, causing nearly half of the casualties. The desperate momentum of the attack was gone and turned into seven or eight parts. Some did not dare to continue charging and just lay down on the spot, and some Groups of three or five scattered and rushed in. He Wei took Tao Heiwa and was about to rush out of the bunker with a gun. Suddenly, several people rushed in from the entrance of the bunker and bumped into He Wei. The little messenger Tao Hei Wa was also knocked to the ground.

"Who?"

"idiot!"

He Wei and the person who bumped into him spoke almost in unison. Hearing that it was a Japanese soldier, He Wei took out a bayonet from his waist and stabbed him. The Japanese soldier that He Wei bumped into was none other than the Infantry No. 16 Regiment. Second Lieutenant Seto, the regimental flag bearer of the regiment.

In fact, after the Japanese army invaded the Sixth Company's position, the No. 16 Regiment's regiment flag had completed its mission. The biggest role of this thing was spiritual guidance. When the attack entered the Sixth Company, After the company's position, the mission and responsibility of the regiment flag bearer and the flag guard team are no longer to guide the troops to attack, but to protect the regiment flag from damage.

But when this large-scale hand-to-hand battle broke out, everything was out of control. The infantry team responsible for protecting the flag was half wiped out by submachine guns the moment the sixth company rushed out, and the remaining half of the troops were They were also scattered by the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company who rushed out.

This place is like a huge meat grinder. Once involved, no one can escape. After being intercepted and killed by the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company, the well-organized flag guard team was completely broken up. What Second Lieutenant Seto could control The military strength is only one sergeant and three soldiers.

If you want to protect the fragile regiment flag in a battlefield full of melee, you must avoid contact with the Chinese army as much as possible. The best way is to hide in a hidden place where no one comes and stay until the battle is over. This can ensure However, Second Lieutenant Seto did not expect that there happened to be two Chinese soldiers in the bunker where he thought no one was inside. As he entered, he bumped into He Wei and Tao Heiwa who were about to go out.

"Hei Wa, shoot quickly."

He Wei stabbed a Japanese soldier to death. At this time, Tao Heiwa also took out his Mauser rifle. Without having time to aim, he hit the Japanese soldiers randomly and fired all the bullets in the gun in one breath, killing two Japanese soldiers. , at this time, a Japanese sergeant drew out his saber and struck at He Wei. He Wei could not dodge, so he had to grab the [-]-meter cover and cross it to block the knife.

The Japanese sergeant was very strong, and He Wei was also very strong. The two of them were holding on like this. When the sergeant saw that the shell gun in Tao Heiwa's hand was empty of bullets, he did not pay attention to the child soldier, but concentrated on it. All attention was devoted to dealing with He Wei. He Wei was staring at the Japanese soldier and dealing with each other. In the corner, He Wei also saw a Japanese second lieutenant. The second lieutenant was holding a very delicate figure tightly. Pole, just hiding there and not coming to help.

Suddenly, the strength of the rifle in He Wei's hand suddenly decreased. In desperation, Tao Heiwa rushed up and bit the Japanese soldier's thigh. The Japanese sergeant gave up the suppressive attack on He Wei in pain. He Wei seized the opportunity and kicked him down, then kicked the sergeant's wrist. He took the saber from his hand and hacked it back, killing the sergeant with one blow.

Now, the Japanese second lieutenant was the only one left in the bunker. He Wei picked up his saber and rushed forward, but the second lieutenant's behavior was very strange. Normally, when a Japanese soldier saw a Chinese rushing over, his first reaction would be to go up and fight with him. The Chinese fought hard.

But the second lieutenant's first reaction was to run away, trying to break out of the bunker. What made He Wei even more surprised was that the Japanese second lieutenant had been hugging the pole tightly in his hand, which only increased He Wei's doubts. Although he didn't know what it was, judging from the performance of the Japanese second lieutenant, He Wei guessed that it must be some important object.

He Wei decided to kill this guy and snatch what was in his hand, but He Wei did not dare to shoot. If the precious object was damaged, the gain would outweigh the loss.

But he saw the Japanese second lieutenant sneaking around the bunker a few times in a very obscene manner, and then suddenly rushed towards the exit of the bunker. He Wei immediately asked Tao Heiwa to stop him, and he rushed forward waving his saber.

Second Lieutenant Seto, who was holding the regiment flag, was now very scared. He was not afraid of dying in battle, but of losing the regiment flag. So he just wanted to leave the bunker quickly and find another place to hide, but he was about to rush out. , a Chinese soldier who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old blocked his way. Second Lieutenant Seto took out the Southern-style pistol from his waist and was about to kill the Chinese soldier.

Suddenly, a burst of blades struck his ears. He turned his head and saw a Chinese officer slashing at him with a command knife. He had to turn his gun and fired at He Wei.

Snapped

He Wei's shoulder hurt, and the bullet grazed He Wei's shoulder, and He Wei's knife also came down, directly hitting Second Lieutenant Seto's gun-holding arm, and chopped off Second Lieutenant Seto's hand with one knife. The hand holding the Nanfang pistol flew out instantly and fell to the ground. After the severed hand fell to the ground, the fingers were still squirming, and blood spurted out, staining the command knife in He Wei's hand red. He Wei drew his sword again and struck Lieutenant Seto on the head.

Seeing a knife coming, Second Lieutenant Seto instinctively raised the regiment flag in his hand to block it. Then, as if he had woken up from a dream, he remembered that the thing in his hand to block the knife was the regiment flag, so he hurriedly Take back.

But as soon as the regiment flag was taken back, He Wei's saber had already struck, slashing diagonally from Second Lieutenant Seto's head, all the way across Second Lieutenant Seto's throat and shoulders. The No. 16 Infantry Regiment was the most powerful. The capable second lieutenant was tragically chopped to death by He Wei because of the regiment flag in his hand.

If Lieutenant Seto was not holding the regiment flag, even if it was a wooden stick, he would not die in such a confused state. Unfortunately, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since you have accepted the honor of serving as the regiment flag bearer, you must bear it. All that comes with the Union Flag.

Throwing down the command knife, He Wei immediately turned over Lieutenant Seto's body and grabbed what was in his hand. When he hacked the guy to death, he first raised the thing in his hand to resist, and then retracted it. His strange behavior further confirmed that He Wei My guess is that what he took must be something unusual.

He asked Tao Heiwa to guard the entrance of the bunker. He Wei looked at the thing and was shocked. It was a flag, a broken flag, but the flagpole and flag crown were very well made. He Wei looked at the broken rising sun. You can tell from the face of the flag that it is a Japanese Army regiment flag!
I captured a coalition flag myself!

The flag looked like a tatter, but He Wei knew what it meant to seize a coalition flag.

Throughout the entire Anti-Japanese War and the Pacific War, not a single regiment flag of the Japanese Army was captured. Even when the regiment was destroyed, all its military flags were destroyed, and not even half of the military flags fell behind the enemy.

The only exception was during the Meiji period. On February 1877, 2, Japan's Meiji government troops and Saigo Takamori's troops fought fiercely near Taharazaka.Among them, Second Lieutenant Hayashio Kawara, the flag bearer of the 22th Infantry Regiment of the government army, died in the battle, and the "Regiment Flag" was captured by the Saigo Army. However, in the end, the Regiment Flag was recaptured by the Meiji Government Army. This is the only Japanese Army An example of a lost alliance flag being recorded.

If he really captured this regiment flag, it would be a trivial matter to leave his name in history. More importantly, it would break the spiritual honor and spiritual pillar that the Japanese army is proud of, and seize the Japanese military flag that has always boasted of its Bushido spirit. Unlike slapping the Japanese army in the face, the No. 16 Infantry Regiment fighting against him will inevitably have his designation canceled and disappear forever from the Japanese Army's order of operations.

Thinking of this, He Wei immediately took off the uniforms of the Japanese second lieutenant and the Japanese sergeant, and carefully wrapped the regiment flag. Now that people were fighting everywhere, he couldn't carry this thing with him, so he might as well A hole was dug inside the bunker, the coalition flag was wrapped and buried in it.

On the position of the 16th Company, many officers and soldiers of the No. [-] Regiment were still fighting desperately with the Chinese army, but they did not know that the regiment flag, which they regarded as a treasure, had been taken away by a Chinese officer.
