Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 219 The Brave Captain Luo

"Brothers, the Japs need some movement. Take out our last cannon and fire two shots for the Japs to hear."

On the main position, Luo Yufeng was awakened by the Japanese artillery fire. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood what the Japanese meant.

In order to ensure that the large force could successfully break through, he took out the few remaining artillery shells to attract the attention of the Japanese.

"Commander, please take a look. Although our artillery battalion is short of men, everyone is a skilled artilleryman."

"Since the devil wants to hear the noise, we'll just follow his wishes, haha!"

Zhang Zhixian, the artillery battalion commander, said cheerfully,

It was the final moment, and everyone felt at ease.

It’s just a matter of going to the underworld together. Maybe the brothers who went down earlier are already waiting for you, so you will have company if you go down together!

Five minutes later, two artillery shells were fired towards the Japanese as if to vent their anger.

Boom boom!

The Japanese soldiers on guard were relieved, and the squadron leader immediately reported to his superiors.

The main reason was that their soldiers had conducted a thorough investigation and found that the Chinese were still inside the fortifications, so they had nothing to worry about.

"Commander, do you think we can still fight the Japanese underground?" The company commander stroked the gun in his arms and asked Luo Yufeng with a smile.

"Bullshit, the Japs still want to report to the King of Hell? Dream on. We and the Japs are not from the same ancestor."

Luo Yufeng didn't say anything, and the company commander was instead criticized by others.

"Old Qi is right. The Japs are not worthy of being like us."

"If you ask me, if there really are Japanese devils in the underground, we brothers will continue to fight them."

Once the topic was brought up, discussion immediately broke out in the command center.

After a burst of bombardment from the Japanese, everyone couldn't sleep anymore, so they just got up and talked.

Anyway, there is a place to sleep underground, so it doesn’t matter whether I sleep now or not.

.........

Early in the morning, the Japanese division commander Nakajima Imao could no longer sit still, seeing that the fog in the mountains was so thick that no one could be seen.

His three-day mission to capture Zijin Mountain was almost over, and there were still several thousand defenders on Zijin Mountain.

Given the tenacity of the teaching corps, he had no confidence in taking the position today.

"Baga, damn China."

Nakajima Imao cursed angrily, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground as expected, making a crisp sound.

"Sir, division commander, do you want the warriors to continue the attack today?" the Japanese combat staff asked cautiously.

Nakajima Imao said angrily, "Attack! Let the artillery regiment continue its bombardment. The 61st Regiment will attack. We must take Purple Mountain today."

The current commander is a prince. Given the Japanese hierarchy, even he, the division commander, dares not disobey orders. If he says three days, it means three days.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of artillery fire from the Japanese defense area on the mountain, but there was only one pitiful gun.

Luo Yufeng led the entire regiment out and headed straight for the Japanese camp on the mountain.

He had no intention of living in disgrace. Seeing that the Japanese were slow to attack, he led the entire regiment of more than 400 soldiers to attack.

As the saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster.

After much deliberation, Luo Yufeng decided not to wait for the Japanese. The main force should have reached the foot of the mountain by now, so he might as well fight bravely.

Maybe we can kill a few more Japanese soldiers with the help of the heavy fog.

Obviously, Luo Yufeng was right. The Japanese soldiers never expected that the people on the main position would dare to come out and counterattack them.

This was completely inconsistent with their understanding. After all, these Chinese people had been hiding in the mountains for so long and they had never seen them come out.

"Damn it, are these Chinese pigs crazy?" Iwasa Shun, commander of the 61st Regiment, shouted angrily.

It was pitch dark in the mountains in the early morning. The heavy fog that had risen last night had not dissipated, but instead was getting thicker. This situation made Iwasa Shun very helpless.

"Sir, the Chinese are attacking from three sides. The warriors can't see their target, and the casualties are severe."

The battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Uno, ran anxiously back to the front-line command center to report.

Iwasa Shun became even angrier and shouted, "Baga, idiot! If the warriors can't see it, can the Chinese see it?"

Lieutenant Colonel Uno gritted his teeth and explained, "These Chinese are very cunning. They work in groups of three, equipped with grenades and machine guns."

"When our warriors were outnumbered, they didn't even fire their guns, but used bayonets directly."

"When they saw we were outnumbered, they threw their grenades and ran away. The warriors didn't dare to pursue them."

"Caught off guard, half a squadron of brave warriors from the frontline brigade were killed."

Uno's voice got quieter as he spoke, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"Baga, with the Chinese's weapons reserves, where would they get all those machine guns without support?"

Iwasa Shun's face turned dark. It seemed that his captain had secretly gained the position through connections. He was like a waste.

Lieutenant Colonel Uno felt wronged. He really heard a lot of machine gun sounds, otherwise he would not have said that.

Actually, it would be a mistake to say that Luo Yufeng had many machine guns. There were only about 20 in total.

It was probably because Qiu Qingquan couldn't bear to force his way out, otherwise Luo Yufeng would have been shot down by now. How could there be so many machine guns?

However, when the attack started, it was foggy, which really gave Luo Yufeng more momentum.

After capturing several machine guns from the Japanese, the bullets gradually became denser.

Iwasa Shun ignored Uno and walked out of the front-line command center and started rushing towards the front-line position.

The closer he got to Iwasa Shun, the more frightened he became. The bullets were very dense, including weapons from his own empire as well as those produced by the Germans. This situation made him feel a little helpless.

Luo Yufeng's entire group of more than 400 people had no intention of returning alive, and they were ready to fight to the death.

Half an hour later, the vanguard troops were about to break through the Japanese's second line of defense.

Of course, this was also because the Japanese did not react in time. Otherwise, with the number of people in their regiment, Luo Yufeng and his group would not be able to withstand the siege.

"Baga, order all soldiers to support, quickly!" Iwasa Jun said angrily,

For the first time, he felt that his subordinates were so slow in action. After so much time, they still had not yet supported the front line.

There is only one battalion on the front line now, which has no advantage at all in such foggy weather.

"Haha! Brothers, kill the Japanese for me!" Luo Yufeng laughed heartily.

At this time, there were more than forty people gathered around him, and everyone had spoils in their hands, which made him very happy.

"Commander, it's so cool to kill the Japanese like this. Look at the Japanese machine gun in my hand. I captured it with two grenades."

A soldier with a bandaged leg said excitedly.

Luo Yufeng smiled and said, "Brothers, you are all great. Let's kill these devils and avenge our brothers in the underground."

"Kill the devils and avenge our brothers!"

The gathered soldiers howled and began to charge forward.

The regiment commander Luo Yufeng was unwilling to lag behind, so he led the remaining soldiers of the guard company to charge.

The tactic was a good one, but with the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the number of people under Luo Yufeng gradually decreased.

The place is so small that the Japanese soldiers gathered together and did not move around. Once they found any movement, they would fire a volley of bullets. In this situation, the ones who would suffer would naturally be the attacking soldiers.

Due to the continuous losses, the soldiers could only gather together spontaneously. When Luo Yufeng found them, there were only about 100 people left.

Luo Yufeng looked at the wounded soldiers and said proudly: "The brothers in front are waiting for us underground. Brothers, charge!"

The soldiers did not speak, but looked at Luo Yufeng with firm eyes, holding their guns tightly.

A moment later, the sounds of rifles and machine guns resounded across the battlefield.

Da da da!

Bang bang bang!

Rumble!

The soldiers of the rear artillery battalion fired a final artillery attack and rushed into the position without hesitation.

The ending seemed to be doomed. Under the heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese, the charging soldiers kept falling on the road!

Luo Yufeng was shot and was still crawling towards the Japanese while dragging his injured body.

Finally, he fell on the cold Purple Gold Mountain.

"Brothers, I'm here to find you!" Luo Yufeng murmured as he looked at the gray sky.

A moment later, he went to find his brother with a smile...
