531 Fight to the Last Drop of Blood
But the result was that within these two days, the mobile regiment was almost wiped out.
Similar battles were also taking place in other parts of Toungoo City.
Boom!
The sound of explosions continued to be heard in the city.
"Let's go and support the other brothers."
Deputy Sun Ying shouted loudly.
At this time, a sniper team led by Zhao Dongsheng himself also encountered a life-and-death crisis.
Soldiers from both sides fought in close combat.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat was equally dangerous.
puff!
Soldiers from both sides kept falling in pools of blood, with white knives coming in and red knives coming out.
"Kill him!"
A Japanese soldier holding a rifle with a gleaming bayonet on the tip rushed towards Zhao Dongsheng.
The rifle that Zhao Dongsheng stabbed the Japanese soldier with was being held tightly by the Japanese soldier on the ground.
Boom!
In an emergency, Zhao Dongsheng could only let go of his hands, take out the Browning pistol from his waist, and fired two shots at the Japanese soldier rushing towards him.
Shoot him to death.
"What a bastard."
Then, he shot another shot in the head at the wounded Japanese soldier who was still glaring at him on the ground.
In this battle, the Japanese on the opposite side also went crazy and killed people.
All they received were death orders.
If they fail to take Toungoo, they will die sooner or later.
Boom!
Then Zhao Dongsheng raised his pistol and called out the names of the Japanese soldiers around him one by one.
boom!
As a result, suddenly a shell fell next to him and blew him away, causing his head to buzz.
He struggled to get up, but couldn't.
Before he fell into coma, Zhao Dongsheng saw with blurry eyes that a Japanese tank squad was attacking from the flank.
On the other side, the team led by Deputy Commander Sun also came to support.
Then, Zhao Dongsheng fell into a coma.
"Captain!"
When Zhao Dongsheng woke up again, it was already evening.
When Zhao Dongsheng saw that it was Deputy Commander Sun standing in front of him, he struggled to stand up, grabbed his arm, and asked anxiously, "What's the situation?
Did you hold on?"
“Captain, don’t worry.
The enemy's attack failed, and Toungoo City is still in our hands."
Deputy Commander Sun comforted Zhao Dongsheng.
After hearing this, Zhao Dongsheng let out a long sigh of relief and lay down again.
"How many brothers were killed or injured?"
Zhao Dongsheng paused and then asked.
“More than fifty.
Now, there are still two hundred and seventy-six people breathing in the city."
Deputy Sun Ying replied in a muffled voice.
Their battalion is the most elite battalion in the mobile regiment, with more than 800 people, responsible for defending the city of Toungoo.
After five days of fighting, only these few people are left.
At the same time, outside the city of Toungoo, at several other strategic points, other battalions were still fighting to block the Japanese invaders.
However, Zhao Dongsheng had lost contact with the other two battalions of blocking troops outside the city.
Now, each unit of the mobile regiment can only fight on its own.
Defend your own defense zone with all your might until the last soldier dies.
During the day, this new wave of offensive after the Japanese bombing started at three o'clock in the afternoon and lasted until the evening.
The Japanese armored regiment still failed to break through the Toungoo city area defended by the main force of the mobile regiment.
Instead, they lost five tanks and nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded.
At this time, Zhao Dongsheng didn't care about the casualties of the Japanese at all. Anyway, the number of the Japanese was definitely greater than theirs.
He only cares about how many people are still alive on his side.
How long can you hold on?
"Two hundred and seventy-six people, maybe we can survive tonight."
Zhao Dongsheng said in a deep voice after being fed saliva by Deputy Captain Sun.
I have to say, Zhao Dongsheng is a very lucky guy.
A shot fired by the Japanese tank exploded so close to him that it blew him away.
He was not injured, just a slight concussion.
"Commander, there is no movement from Hill 102 and Hill 103 outside the city.
Maybe already...
In the afternoon, there were explosions only coming from Hill 101.”
Deputy Sun Ying said sadly.
He had never fought such a hard battle.
This deputy battalion commander Sun was an old soldier who had followed Ye Qingshan from the 88th Division. He was later promoted to deputy battalion commander.
However, even the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing that year, he did not think it was as difficult as this one.
They see no hope in this battle.
Now, their entire regiment is about to be wiped out.
I don’t know how many of our brothers on the three high grounds outside are still alive.
With the strength of one regiment, they resisted the attacks of three Japanese regiments, especially an armored regiment, for five days.
Their mobile regiment created a miracle.
Zhao Dongsheng did not respond to Deputy Sun's question, but asked: "Has the radio been repaired? Have you contacted the commander?"
“No, the station was too badly damaged.
It can’t be fixed.”
"Hey!"
After hearing this, Zhao Dongsheng sighed.
On the ground, the sound of Japanese artillery fire was heard.
However, compared with the intensity of the bombing by the Japanese bombers during the day, this amount of artillery fire was nothing.
To be honest, the main casualties during the five days of defense of the mobile regiment were caused by the Japanese bombers.
The second was the assault of the Japanese armored regiment.
These two are too difficult to deal with.
In the first three days, when the mobile regiment had not lost its logistical supplies, it had a steady supply of rockets and mortars.
The battle was easy.
Once the supply lines were cut off by the Japanese and the mobile regiment had used up all its rockets and mortars, the battle became extremely difficult.
The Japs attacked day and night.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Japs hope to launch two attacks tonight.
Sure enough, after nine o'clock in the evening, the Japanese flares lit up in the sky.
The Japs outside the city organized another attack.
"Deputy Sun Ying, take care."
"Captain, take care!"
Zhao Dongsheng, Deputy Ying Sun and several other officers of the mobile regiment led their men to continue blocking the enemy in batches.
Another night of fierce fighting.
After dawn, the city of Toungoo was still in their hands.
However, there are only a hundred soldiers left in the mobile regiment who can still move.
The battle last night was more brutal than the one during the day.
Deputy General Sun Ying was killed in the battle and Zhao Dongsheng was also injured.
"Cough cough!"
Zhao Dongsheng leaned against the corner of a ruin, looking at the red sun rising in the east, forcing a smile.
"Day 6.
Commander, I tried my best."
Outside the city, at the Japanese armored regiment headquarters, Japanese Colonel Shunta Yayama looked at the ruined town in front of him with a grim expression.
He just couldn't understand how those few hundred expeditionary soldiers inside could hold off their armored regiment for three days.
This is simply impossible to happen.
"Your Excellency, Commander, according to the report from our soldiers last night.
There are not many Chinese troops left in the city.
Moreover, they are almost out of ammunition and food.
Today, we will definitely take Taungoo."
A Japanese lieutenant colonel next to him assured.
"It's time to take it down. If I don't, the commander will make me commit disembowelment.
Let the soldiers have breakfast and then attack immediately.
Open up the southward channel as soon as possible.
In Mandalay, the main force of our 15th Army is also running out of ammunition and food.
If we don’t move in, it will be really dangerous.”
The Japanese regiment commander, Shunta Hachiyama, was eager to take over the city of Toungoo immediately.
