Chapter 241 The Lonely Head
Bengbu position.
The 11th Regiment began to attack the 720th Regiment.
Rows of shells roared down.
The shell hit the ground, followed by thick clouds of red and green smoke.
The color on his face suddenly changed, and Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "Quick, guard against poison!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the soldiers wet the towels with urine and covered their mouths and noses.
Quickly putting on the gas mask, Liang Shanhao shouted at the top of his voice: "I've been able to hold it all!"
At this time, Han Chongcheng also shouted: "Tuanzu! The devil, the devil has crossed the river!"
Liang Shanhao shouted: "Send me the order to order the artillery platoon to intercept the Japanese rubber boat!"
After agreeing, Han Chongcheng conveyed the order to the artillery platoon.
After a while, there were splashes of water on the river.
Many little Japanese capsized their boats and fell into the Huaihe River, and some of them drowned.
Liang Shanhao shouted: "The artillery platoon of the military department is very good at firing, and every blast is accurate."
Han Chongcheng also shouted: "The artillery platoon fought really beautifully!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a row of bombers flew over Bengbu!
Liang Shanhao changed his color: "It's broken, Battalion Commander Han, please notify the artillery platoon to move quickly!"
However, all these reactions were too late. In a moment, a ball of fire burst out in the direction of the artillery array.
He punched the parapet hard and Liang Shanhao cursed in a low voice: "The little devil's plane is too bullying, damn it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chongcheng shouted urgently: "Tuanzuo! The Japanese have begun to land!"
Without a trace of emotion on his face, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Everyone is here, listen to my orders and prepare to fight!"
Hearing this, the soldiers wearing all-color gas mask were ready for all battles.
The barrels of several Maxim heavy machine guns were aimed at the little Japs on the river beach.
Although the little devil was bombarded by artillery fire while crossing the river, he successfully landed ashore with the help of aviation cover.
The Japanese attack of the 11th Regiment was very methodical.
The infantry group, grenade group and heavy machine gun group alternately cover the attack.
The three combat forces supported each other and rushed towards Liang Shanhao's 720th Regiment position in a "pin-shaped" battle formation.
The Japs' poison gas was so toxic that some soldiers who used wet towels to protect themselves from the gas could no longer hold their guns!
Before entering the real battle, the 720th Regiment had already lost a quarter of its strength.
The situation is very unfavorable to Liang Shanhao.
Even so, Liang Shanhao still urged the soldiers to defend and fight to the end.
The Japanese soldiers slowly approached.
After a while, the 720th Regiment entered a fierce battle while waiting for a short time.
Each heavy machine gun group beat the soldiers of the 720th Regiment so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up!
Liang Shanhao fired back with cold guns, hitting almost wherever he pointed. The Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine gun was beaten to the point of doubting his life.
But the good times did not last long, as the Japanese grenade group had already locked onto Liang Shanhao's position.
In a flash of lightning, a row of grenades smashed towards Liang Shanhao.
Whoosh!
Rumble!
His eyes suddenly turned black, and Liang Shanhao almost fainted.
When Han Chongcheng shook Liang Shanhao awake, Liang Shanhao saw that the Japanese from the 11th Regiment had broken through the position.
The enemy and ourselves are engaged in a shocking hand-to-hand battle.
The 720th Regiment was not good at hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers were beaten to the point of retreating.
Within ten minutes, the 720th Regiment lost its first line of defense.
He raised his hand and stabbed a Japanese sergeant with a bayonet. Liang Shanhao shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! Withdraw the second line of defense!"
Hearing this, the soldiers of the 720th Regiment threw a row of grenades at the Japanese behind them, and then retreated along the traffic trench to the second line of defense under the cover of heavy machine guns.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese who broke through a line of defense also followed.
A lot of explosives were buried in the traffic trenches.
Looking at the little devil coldly, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Detonate!"
In an instant, three S-shaped traffic trenches burst into bright red flames.
The few Jaap squads that attacked first were bombarded to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers.
…
To the west of the Huaihe defense line.
Ten Type 89 tanks are quickly crossing a pontoon bridge.
This pontoon bridge was built overnight by Japanese engineers.
At dawn, the Japanese tanks quickly broke through the Huaihe River defense line!
Not long after the Japanese tank troops crossed the Huaihe River, they ran into the blocking attack of the 257th Regiment of the 51st Army.
The tanks integrate mobile firepower and defense, and the regiment of the 51st Army fought very hard.
It seems that the Japanese tanks are about to break through the 527th Regiment's position and threaten the 720th Regiment's flanks!
With his face covered with blood, the leader of the 257th Regiment shouted: "Come on, the suicide squad! Even if you try hard, you can't let the little Japs pass by our 257th Regiment's defense area!"
Upon hearing the order, the death squads rushed towards the Japanese tanks with an expression of resignation.
Looking at the heading machine gun of the Japanese tank, the commander of the 257th Regiment shouted: "Fire cover!"
At that moment, two Maxim heavy machine guns opened fire wildly.
But the dense rain of bullets has no way to deal with the Japanese tanks.
On the contrary, two Maxim heavy machine guns were knocked out by Japanese tank guns one after another.
Lowering his head to avoid the gunfire, the commander of the 257th regiment hissed: "Signal Corps, Signal Corps, have you contacted the military headquarters?"
Nodding, the communications soldier shouted: "Report to the regiment, we are in touch!"
After replacing another magazine, the commander of the 257th Regiment shouted: "What did the military say? When will the support arrive!"
Drooping his head, the signal soldier shouted: "The military commander said that the troops in various positions are tight. Except for a guard platoon, he doesn't have a single soldier in his hand!"
While the two were talking, all the suicide squad members died on the road to the charge.
Although one tank of the Japanese tank force was blown up, the remaining tanks were already approaching the 257th Regiment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Nine Japanese tanks opened fire wantonly.
Since the 257th Regiment is a river beach position with almost flat terrain, this provides great convenience for Japanese tanks.
In addition, the 257th Regiment lacked anti-tank experience and did not even build an anti-tank trench.
Soon, the position of the 257th Regiment was in danger under the attack of the Japanese tank troops.
In addition, with the cover and support of heavy artillery aircraft, the Japanese tanks finally broke through the 527th Regiment's position.
Amidst bursts of fire, the 257th Regiment fell into deathly silence.
The Japanese tanks rolled over the corpses of soldiers from the 257th Regiment and headed towards Liang Shanhao's 720th Regiment.
Liang Shanhao's flank is about to be exposed to the little devil.
Shaking the dirt off his helmet, the leader of the 257th regiment shouted at the top of his voice: "If anyone is still breathing, get up!"
I shouted several times, but none of my subordinates responded.
After scanning the corpses of his subordinates scattered all over the position, the head of the 257th regiment couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
At this time, a Japanese tank drove over.
Listening to the roar of the engine, the lonely leader of the 257th Regiment silently picked up a pack of blood-stained explosives.
Holding an explosive pack in his left hand, the leader of the 257th regiment silently approached the Little Japanese tank.
The Japanese tank discovered the leader of the 257th regiment and opened fire immediately!
Boom!
The leader of the 257th regiment lay down, but still clutched the explosive bag.
The Japanese tanks drove towards the 257th regiment commander.
The leader of the 257th Regiment jumped under the chassis of the Japanese tank.
The 257th regiment suddenly bit open the fuse of the explosive pack and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "If China is not destroyed, long live China!"
Rumble!
The next moment, the Japanese tank was lifted into the air and then disintegrated.
The Japanese tank commander was shocked. He did not expect that the Chinese soldiers were so unafraid of death.
However, the destruction of one tank could not affect the continued assault of the Japanese tank troops.
According to the original plan, the Japanese tank troops moved towards Liang Shanhao's position.
