Chapter 59: Desperate Charge! Seeking Recommendation Tickets!

  Due to Sun Siwei's sniping, the devils' machine gunners fell one after another, and the only heavy machine gun could not exert its due power. Dozens of remaining devils saw that the Chinese army was about to rush up, under the command of a squad leader, they retreated the bullets in the barrel, under the leadership of that squad leader, barking and rushing out of the fortifications, preparing for close combat with the National Army.

  Zhang Xinghan led a row of fierce charges, and when he saw the little devils suddenly jumping out, Zhang Xinghan hastily ordered: "Brothers, stop advancing, open fire!" As he said that, he manipulated the submachine gun in his hand to sweep forward fiercely.

  The row of officers and soldiers behind him also fired shots in a kneeling or standing position, and the only remaining light machine gun began to fire wildly. The dense bullets flew towards the charging devils, instantly knocking them down in large numbers.

  The little devil squad leader, seeing the situation, was furious and cursed loudly: "Damn it! Despicable Chinese!" However, they had already withdrawn their bullets and could not fire, so they could only grit their teeth and charge forward with a loud shout.

  He fired two rounds of enfilade, killing at least twenty devils, and Zhang Xinghan shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!"

  "Clang!" The whole row of officers and soldiers quickly attached bayonets to their rifles, then charged forward with a fierce cry.

  At this time, the second and third rows of troops following up also rushed forward. More than 20 surviving Japanese naval landing party members holding Type 38 rifles rushed forward. Both sides quickly engaged in close combat.

  Zhang Xinghan's submachine gun swept across the enemy, knocking down several Japanese soldiers who were charging at the front. When all the bullets in the magazine were fired, Zhang Xinghan put down his submachine gun and quickly pulled out a sharp bayonet from his waist. With a loud roar, he charged into the enemy ranks.

  For close combat, Zhang Xinghan was one of the masters. Two devils charged forward, yelling and raising their guns to stab at the same time. Zhang Xinghan dodged the stabbing of the two devils with a sideways movement, and with his single hand holding the bayonet upside down, he stabbed towards the chest of one of the devils as fast as lightning.

  "Whoosh!" With a single sound, the bayonet pierced into the devil's chest, the sharp blade breaking through flesh and making a sickening sound. However, Zhang Xinghan didn't have the heart to listen to this, another devil seeing his companion being killed couldn't help but let out a loud roar, swinging his rifle at Zhang Xinghan.

  Zhang Xinghan quickly pulled out his bayonet, and with the other hand, he pulled up the body of the Japanese soldier he had just killed, blocking himself in front. "Puchi" sound, another Japanese soldier's bayonet accurately stabbed into the body of his comrade. Before he could pull out his rifle, Zhang Xinghan's bayonet had already slashed through his neck, and with another "puchi" sound, the Japanese soldier's throat was cut open, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The Japanese soldier covered his neck with both hands, convulsed several times, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Kill!" The row of officers and soldiers behind him roared like thunder, following Zhang Xinghan to fight the enemy soldiers together. More than a dozen enemy soldiers were quickly overwhelmed by the swarming officers and soldiers. The enemy squad leader was stabbed in the abdomen by Zhou Wei with his bayonet, wailing and rolling on the ground, and then was surrounded by angry officers and soldiers, who stabbed him into a sieve with their bayonets.

  "Old Zhou! Well done!" Zhang Xinghan picked up his own submachine gun and joked.

  "Hmph!" Zhou Wei snorted coldly and immediately turned his head to say: "Continue the attack?"

  "Right! Zhao De Sheng, take ten brothers to sweep the battlefield and help the stretcher team send the injured brothers down." Zhang Xing Han nodded and immediately turned around to instruct Zhao De Sheng.

  "Yes!" Zhao De Sheng stood up straight with a loud slap, and immediately turned around to lead more than a dozen soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

  "The rest of you, follow me and continue the attack!" Zhang Xinghan shouted loudly as he replaced the magazine on his submachine gun.

  "Yes!" All the officers and soldiers responded thunderously, and immediately followed Zhang Xinghan across the enemy's defense line, launching an attack on the Gongda Cotton Mill area.

  Zhang Xinghan led the entire company, and had just charged less than 500 meters when they were met with fierce firepower from the devils. This was already the core defensive area of the devils, with extremely swift and violent fire. After a fierce attack lasting over an hour, casualties were heavy, but there was no progress to speak of. Zhang Xinghan was forced to order the entire company to retreat back to the Japanese defense line they had occupied earlier, where they would temporarily regroup and prepare to call for artillery support from the regimental headquarters.

  Zhang Xinghan panted heavily as he sat in the trench, loading bullets into his magazine. Sun Siwei, sitting not far from him, was also reloading ammunition. At this time, Li Sihai, who was observing the enemy situation on the other side of the trench, shouted loudly: "Company Commander, look, the second platoon leader and others have arrived."

  Zhang Xinghan stood up upon hearing this and saw Zhao Desheng and more than a dozen soldiers rushing over in a hurry.

  Zhao De Sheng panted and led ten soldiers to rush over quickly. After entering the fortifications, he panted and said to Zhang Xing Han: "Xing Han, I just received an order from the regimental headquarters, ordering our company to launch an immediate attack on the enemy in front of us, coordinating with the second battalion's attack!"

  "We're facing at least a company of Japanese troops, equipped with at least six or seven light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers. How can we take them down? Are the lives of our brothers a joke?" Sun Siwei shouted loudly.

  Zhang Xinghan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhao Desheng and said: "Desheng, like this, you immediately go to the regiment headquarters, request the regiment headquarters to provide us with artillery support, we will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army in front of us, in coordination with the second battalion's attack."

  "It's no good." Zhao De Sheng shook his head anxiously, his face heavy with worry. "Just as we were exchanging fire with the devils earlier, their reinforcements arrived. I heard it was a detachment composed of merchant troops. They concentrated their firepower and launched a sudden counterattack on the street that our Second Battalion had just captured. The Second Battalion was caught off guard, and an entire company was wiped out in the narrow streets. All of the artillery in the regiment has been concentrated to support the Second Battalion, and Regiment Commander Xie Chengrui has personally led the dare-to-die corps into battle, so we won't be getting any artillery support."

  "What? An entire company wiped out? Damn it, how can we fight like this?" Zhou Wei on the side was instantly enraged, both for the loss of over a hundred brothers and for his hatred towards the enemy.

  "There was no way, this devilish unit didn't wear military uniforms and deceived our scouting soldiers. The second battalion had just taken down that street and hadn't had time to prepare, being surrounded by the devils from behind. The devils used light and heavy machine guns to seal off both ends of the street, attacking from front and back, over a hundred brothers died heroically for their country." Just as Zhao De-sheng finished speaking, deafening explosions erupted in the southeast direction.

  That is an artillery company teaching a group of soldiers how to fire cannons at devils.

  "Xing Han! What shall we do?" Sun Siwei asked anxiously as he saw Zhang Xinghan remained silent.

  Zhang Xinghan pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Pass on my order, fix bayonets! Prepare to attack! Mortar launchers aim at the Japanese machine gun position, fire ten rounds in a row. If we can't take down the enemy's position, no one will be allowed to come back alive!"

  "Yes!" The crowd responded thunderously and immediately relayed the order, and the entire company of officers and soldiers quickly made preparations for battle.

  Zhang Xinghan also took out a standard rifle, "click" and attached a bayonet to the rifle. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, just now a company of our second battalion was ambushed by those little devils! Those were our schoolmates, our comrades in arms! Their blood cannot be shed in vain! Any man with guts, follow me and charge forward to chop down those little devils, to avenge our fallen brothers!"

  At the same time, two 60mm mortars and four 50mm grenade launchers fired simultaneously, "Boom boom boom" shells whizzed out one after another.

  Rushed to the Japanese army position, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" A series of loud explosions, flames suddenly appeared, and in the explosion several devils were hit by grenade shrapnel and suddenly cried out in pain.

  The ten rounds of shooting ended quickly, the Japanese army's position was already covered with smoke, Zhang Xinghan loudly shouted: "Brothers, charge!" As soon as he finished speaking, he held a standard rifle and jumped out of the fortifications.

  "Kill! Charge!"

  "Charge! Kill!" The whole company of officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and Zhang Xinghan jumped out of the trench, launching a desperate charge against the Japanese army's position!
