Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Huang Wanshan, commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Division Marine Corps attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, saw armed Japanese civilians rushing up from all over the mountains and plains. In the flash of exploding mortar shells, they wore variegated clothes and had no training at all.  His movements, and even the woman with her hair disheveled, her flesh and blood flying everywhere, her broken arms were constantly being thrown up, but she still rushed forward mechanically like an inanimate object. He felt unbelievable!

    If we talk about the Marine Corps, it is not that it has not been baptized on the battlefield by blood and fire. It is also a force that has grown up in bloody battles. Its predecessor, the Yellow River and Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps, has less than 50,000 troops as a second-line force.  In order to ensure the smooth implementation of division commander Tang Qiuli's campaign plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese army in Xuzhou, when Tang Enbo's troops were routed thousands of miles away, he blocked the first move of Xiaozhao Guoji, the main force of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force, in Kaifeng, the ancient capital of Henan.  There are more than 100,000 troops.

    The Kaifeng Blockade could be said to be the most intense battle after the Independent Division entered Henan. It was precisely because of the desperate blockade of the Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps that the elite division of more than 100,000 people from the First Corps of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force was unable to make it on time.  When they launched an attack on Xuzhou, an important town in northern Jiangsu, Major General Su Jingfeng, commander of the regiment at the time, and the command post fought a bloody battle for a week with an elite Japanese force that was more than twice his own strength. Su Jingfeng himself died for his country, with three hundred  More than one officer was killed, and more than 10,000 soldiers were stained with blood in Kaifeng. From this, the Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps became famous in one battle!

    At that time, Huang Wanshan was still the deputy battalion commander and had personally experienced the tragic blocking battle. After the Battle of Kaifeng, the Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps managed to become a main force. Otherwise, the original division commander Tang Qiuli would have fought.  When choosing a unit to change to the Marine Corps, facing several veteran teams with great achievements and long reputations, they would not choose this unit that can fight tough battles at a glance, but is still a second-line unit.

    Huang Wanshan has seen the world. He has seen the madness and ferocity of Japanese army groups when they charge. He has also seen Japanese troops who stubbornly resisted and fought to the last man. However, he has never seen tens of thousands of Japanese civilians like tonight.  .  Some of them didn't even have rifles. They were just covered in explosives and grenades, and they rushed upward desperately, as if their companions had been blown apart by mortar shells and thrown into the air.  Like a piece of wood.

    "What a fucking evil! These little devils who are desperate for life are more ferocious than the little devils in the regular army. Could it be that the commander mentioned it. The little devils use unconventional combat methods? My fourth brigade, even the regular little devils  The Japanese have killed countless Japanese civilians, how can we be afraid of these armed Japanese civilians?" Although the mortar bombs were dense, it was impossible to block every space. While Huang Wanshan was muttering in his heart, those figures who were lucky enough not to be blown to pieces by the mortar bombs.  We are approaching the Fourth Brigade position.

    The fire caused by the explosion of the mortar shells loomed out the figures of these desperate volunteer team members, and Huang Wanshan saw them.  The officers and soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade on the forward position could see it more clearly, especially the women with their hair disheveled. If the ones rushing up to them were those little Japanese soldiers in khaki military uniforms, a regiment of soldiers.  They will not hesitate to shoot submachine gun bullets into the body of the little devil.

    However, they were facing a group of civilians. The long-distance shelling by mortars was not strong, but they could clearly see it all. The soldiers hesitated, and the regiment commander also hesitated. The brigade headquarters did not shoot the Japanese.  Civilian orders and hesitation on the battlefield are often fatal. Because of hesitation, some members of the Manchurian Volunteer Team have rushed to the position, less than a hundred meters away from the soldiers. Huang Wanshan, who is observing the battlefield situation, has a tattoo on his forehead.  Beads of sweat immediately appeared, and he realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

    When the headquarters conveyed the division commander's telegram to the brigade, he did not pay enough attention to it. It was not that he was slacking off on purpose, but because he felt that the regular troops of the Japs had been beaten to a pulp. How could some armed civilians pose any threat?  The brigade chief of staff made a suggestion to convey the headquarters' orders to the company and platoon levels, but what did he say? Yes, it was like this, "It's not necessary. Aren't they just armed civilians who are little devils?"  What's all the fuss about? Besides, this may not be true. The little devil has no soldiers, so let these ordinary people fight? "

    Huang Wanshan's intestines turned green with regret. He saw with his own eyes that in a group of positions, there were bursts of fire and a series of loud noises. The bodies of the soldiers were thrown into the air amidst the fire and loud noises. Behind them,  There were more figures, and they continued to rush forward. Huang Wanshan rushed to the phone, "First regiment commander, I, Huang Wanshan, what the hell are you waiting for? The guns in your hands are fire sticks, shoot!"  Let me tell you, these are not civilians, they are a bunch of fucking suicide bombers!¡±

    The screams of intensive submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns rang out, mixed with the sound of huge explosions. Huang Wanshan put down the phone and sat down on the canvas marching chair. He knew very well that because he??For this mistake, the soldiers will pay the price. As for how much the price will be, it is still unknown!

    Continuous gunfire sounded like a storm for several hours. The mortar unit of the 4th Brigade was still firing shells. The remaining members of the Manchurian Volunteers were still launching attacks perseveringly, but without exception.  More than 40,000 people fell in the flames of the shells. It would not be possible to wipe them out in a short time. From time to time, Japanese armed civilians who were injured but did not lose the ability to move jumped up from the pool of blood.  , but what greeted them was a series of dense bullets.

    A hint of fish belly white appears in the east, and dawn is approaching. In front of the 4th Brigade position, there are corpses scattered in pieces. In the strong sea breeze, the variegated and broken clothes on the corpses are floating helplessly. There are bomb craters everywhere.  The bloodstains on the beach, the broken arms and the upturned soil were mixed together. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood. Even the strong sea breeze could not disperse it.  The scale of the battle is no less than a medium-sized blocking battle.

    This battle was not planned, nor was it a sudden encounter. It was an alternative on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. More than 40,000 Japanese armed civilians who launched the attack were killed. Among them, there were many women, who had no mental preparation for the attack.  For the soldiers, it is a huge psychological burden.

    When Han Tie rushed to the fourth brigade, what he saw was a messy battlefield after a fierce battle. The soldiers were even more exhausted than if they had not been on the battlefield for several days. Their faces were pale, and they were constantly being beaten.  Han Tie's face turned gloomy when he saw the wounded being carried down, the shattered human bodies, and the craters on the position. When counterattacking the attack of Japanese armed civilians, the Japanese artillery did not fire a single shot. Therefore, the craters on the position were impossible.  It was caused by Japanese artillery fire, which can only mean that it was caused by the human bombs of these little devils.

    When Han Tie walked into the headquarters of the 4th Brigade, the brigade commander, Major General Huang Wanshan, was listening with an ugly face to the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Li Jialiang, reporting on the casualties of the troops. Seeing Han Tie walk in with a gloomy face, he hurriedly stopped the report, and the two  Jumping up and saluting, Huang Wanshan asked in surprise: "Commander, aren't you at the headquarters? Why are you here at the front?"

    Han Tie did not look at Huang Wanshan, but looked at the Fourth Brigade Chief of Staff, Colonel Li Jialiang, frowning and said: "Chief of Staff Li, continue your report just now, I want to hear, your Fourth Brigade, in the middle of the night,  It was mortars and light and heavy machine guns. How was the fight? What were the casualties of the troops? "

    Li Jialiang looked at Huang Wanshan and hesitated to speak. Han Tie suddenly became angry, "What are you looking at? Why, it's hard to say something in front of your brigade commander, right? In front of me, what else should you hide?  of?"

    Huang Wanshan said in a muffled voice: "Chief of Staff, just report to the commander. Anyway, our Fourth Brigade suffered a bit this time, and we have nothing to hide. It's embarrassing!"

    Li Jialiang reported: "Commander, the fighting started at about 11 o'clock last night. Up to now, the first and second regiments of our fourth brigade's forward troops have wiped out a total of about 40,000 Japanese armed civilians.  One slipped through the net!¡±

    "I don't want to hear about your record. What I want to hear is the casualties of your Fourth Brigade?" Han Tie interrupted Li Jialiang and emphasized.

    Li Jialiang's expression became unnatural and he reported: "Yes, Commander, the casualties have just been counted. During the battle, the Second Regiment suffered 487 casualties, of which 151 were killed and one was seriously injured."  More than a hundred people, the rest are slightly injured and are being bandaged and treated at the brigade field hospital!"

    "Tell me about the casualties of the 1st Regiment!" Han Tie said sharply. He was very dissatisfied with Li Jialiang's deliberate avoidance of the 1st Regiment. At the same time, he had a premonition that the casualties of the 1st Regiment of the 4th Brigade would probably not be small. When he came just now,  Just passing by the regiment's position, I saw many wounded being carried down.

    Li Jialiang's head dropped even lower, and even Huang Wanshan's face turned livid, "Commander, the battle of the first regiment started at about the same time as the second regiment, because there was insufficient understanding of the raids by Japanese armed civilians at night. During the battle, a regiment  There were more than 2,700 casualties, 836 soldiers were killed, and the rest were injured. Among them, more than 1,300 were seriously injured, and the brigade field hospital is doing its best to rescue them!"

    "What?" Han Tie shouted angrily, "Huang Wanshan, what did you do? Facing a ragtag group of little devils, after a few hours of fighting, a main regiment was crippled, and the soldiers who died in the two regiments were added to the  Together, we reached nearly a thousand people. Didn¡¯t you see the division commander¡¯s order forwarded by the headquarters?¡±

    "Did you tell the truth to the troops below? Counting the wounded soldiers, the fourth brigade is already half disabled! How did you become the brigade commander? Tell me, what is the reason? I want to hear the truth!"
