Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Bloody Battle and the Enemy Enter Qingdao

Defending the enemy abandoned the city and fled, most of the main force retreated from Jimo City to Taming Tiger Mountain in the south of the city, trying in vain to resist by virtue of the dangerous terrain of Taming Tiger Mountain and the strong fortifications on the mountain, preventing our army from entering Qingdao southward. The battle continues, the pursuit continues... At 4:00 pm on the 26th, our East Road Troops garrisoned the 4th Brigade and 12th Regiment. At 4:00 pm on the 26th, they went straight to Xifu Town in the southeast of Xunhu Mountain, leaving Xunhu Mountain to defend the enemy on the right rear, posing a direct threat to the enemy.

The way to use soldiers is speed. Four hundred meters to the west of the village of Xifu Town, there is a solid enemy stronghold. After the 12th Regiment entered Xifu Town, the regiment command post, based on the actual situation at the time, expected that the enemy in Qingdao would not be wiped out in order to prevent the enemy troops from Taming Tiger Mountain from being wiped out. The army will inevitably come for reinforcements and frantically counterattack our army. A fierce battle is imminent. Therefore, after the troops entered the village, they did not care about eating, so they made an emergency deployment: the three battalions of the whole regiment were responsible for their own duties, the first battalion was in the west of the village, the second battalion was in the village, the third battalion was in the east of the village, and the regiment command was located behind the village. , Immediately build a strong fortification, strictly guard against Xifu Town, cut off the enemy's retreat on the Tiger Mountain, and severely attack the enemy who comes to reinforce.

A moment is worth a thousand dollars, and the whole regiment didn't waste a minute, and immediately threw themselves into the battle of building fortifications. Dawn on the 27th. With several dull explosions, the enemy launched its first counterattack. An excellent war commander is creation, choice, and foresight. Regarding the enemy's counterattack, this was expected by the Twelfth Regiment. The enemy's frenzied counterattack at all costs this time was a tough battle in the second stage of the Qingdao (Island) Jim (Mexico) Battle, the most difficult battle, and the price was very high.

In fact, it is also a decisive battle between the enemy and us. The enemy sent heavy troops on the front line of Li Village (at that time, there was a division in front of the 12th Regiment), occupied all major traffic routes, blocked all hilltop checkpoints, and used favorable terrain and features to build a large number of fortifications in an attempt to stop the attack. Our army is advancing towards Qingdao. Our army does not have mechanized weapons and equipment, if it does not have a strong will, the determination to fight recklessly, and the spirit of revolutionary heroism, it is indeed very difficult or even impossible to hold the position and contain the enemy.However, the Twelfth Regiment not only held the position, but also held on for two days and one night, restraining the enemy, providing favorable conditions for the southward advance of the central troops, and relieving their worries.

Beginning at dawn, the 255th Division and part of the 266th Division of the 32nd Army of the enemy who came to reinforce the enemy from the direction of Qingdao rushed towards the position of the 12th Regiment in black under the cover of artillery fire. Before counterattacking our side, first bombard our position with fierce artillery fire. The air also seemed to be compressed, and it seemed more and more stagnant, as if it also contained metal components, making the human sea feel heavier when it took a breath. The two halves of the universe suddenly exploded, and the enemy's artillery shells flew over the sky, covering the surface of our army in an instant.Pillars of smoke and dust soared into the air, blocking normal sight.

The soldiers lay on the ground and waited for the changes. The blasted mud fell and pressed on the soldiers. No one paid attention to it, and they ignored it. In the flash of light, the enemy soldiers wearing steel helmets approached the position of the 12th regiment. The soldiers on the ground used machine guns, rifles, and grenades to repel the enemy's group charges time and time again. The fierce battle lasted until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the enemy gathered a regiment of troops and frantically rushed towards the position of my second battalion and fourth company.Facing an enemy more than ten times larger than me, in the fierce battle, the fourth company gradually became unable to support it under the circumstance of increasing casualties.

Like a group of gamblers who have lost their eyes, the enemies rushed up howling like mad dogs. Facing the swarming enemies, the fourth company commander raised a bayonet-mounted rifle and shouted: "Comrades, For the liberation of the people of Qingdao, we fought against the enemy!" During the war years, an important reason why our army was able to go forward and win invincible was that the cadres took the lead and dared to fight and fight without fear of death. Civil officials don't love money, and military generals don't fear death. Only such a regime can have hope. This is a truth that even the ancients understood.

The soldiers of the fourth company closely followed their beloved company commander, and one by one, they took up their bayonet-mounted rifles, and started a desperate hand-to-hand combat with the rushing enemies.Some soldiers smashed their bayonets with the butt of their guns, and when the butt of their guns broke, they hugged the enemy and rolled into a ball, pinching them with their hands and biting them with their mouths.After some comrades died, they clung to the enemy's hand tightly and couldn't pull it away.What a heroic battle this was, and the brave and fearless spirit of the soldiers swallowed mountains and rivers.

The Fourth Company suffered heavy casualties. There were too many enemies, like a group of hungry wolves that could not be beaten back. After one group retreated, another group came up again. The fourth company was finally outnumbered and lost its position. After the enemy occupied the fourth company position, they attempted to take the opportunity to develop in depth. The command post of the regiment issued an order in time, and at all costs, the second battalion was limited to take back the lost positions of the fourth company within 15 minutes, and drive them back while the enemy's foothold was not stable.

The situation is very urgent. At this time, the regiment command post received a report from the second battalion: ammunition was lacking, and it was difficult to regain the position. It requested additional ammunition and fire support. The command post of the regiment immediately notified the second battalion that the ammunition was sent up immediately and artillery support was organized. The position must be taken back, the enemy's madness must be beaten down, and the position must be nailed to the position to prevent the enemy from advancing any further. After receiving the order, Sun Junde, the commander of the second battalion, firmly expressed to the head of the regiment: resolutely complete the task.

Subsequently, the regiment command post asked Wang Xinsheng, director of the regiment's political department, to personally lead the guard company and concentrate artillery to support the second battalion's position and help regain the lost position of the fourth company. At the same time, the regiment command post also ordered the first and third battalions to wait for the second battalion to launch an attack, and use the signal flare as a sign to give all fire support to the second battalion, charge the enemy, attack 50 meters, and then withdraw immediately, still sticking to their respective positions. Position, strike the enemy across the board. When Wang Xinsheng led the guard company and artillery to the second battalion position, he was only about 150 meters away from the enemy, and he had a panoramic view of all the enemy's activities. Wang Xinsheng said to Liu Xiusheng, the company commander of the guard company: "You can see that the enemy is overwhelmingly crowded. They are outnumbered, but the enemy has just occupied that position and has not gained a firm foothold. When we attack, we must attack fiercely and quickly, and we must pay a small price. The whole regiment won the victory without loss. You are a member of the Communist Party, and you lead the comrades of the guard company to resolutely charge the enemy, assist the second battalion to regain the lost position, and I will support you with the most violent artillery fire." "Please don't worry, chief! We won't come back to see you until we regain our position!" Lieutenant Liu said firmly. A red flare flew into the air, followed by a second and a third. This is the signal sent by the regiment command post to regain the position and attack. After the signal was sent, there was a burst of gunshots from various positions. The first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion used light and heavy machine guns at the same time to violently fire at the enemy. Wang Xinsheng ordered the artillery company's six mortars and more than twenty 60 guns to bombard the enemy's positions violently at the same time.A round of artillery shells roared towards the enemy group, and after a burst of artillery fire, the enemy's position was in chaos. Liu Xiusheng, the company commander of the guard company, waved his pistol and shouted: "Comrades, swear to the death to regain the position, go!" He was the first to jump out of the bunker, and led the guard company to pounce on the enemy like sharp knives. The battalions also attacked at the same time, and the meteor shower of bullets shot at the enemy group, overwhelming the enemy. Liu Xiusheng rushed to the front, and an enemy identified him as an official and aimed at him with a gun. Liu Xiusheng had already seen all this, and saw him jump into the trench with a leap of lightning. Pulling the trigger of the pistol, the enemy who raised the gun to aim at him tilted his head and lay there motionless. The pistol ran out of bullets.He stooped to pick up a bayonet rifle and charged forward again.He attacked very fast, and suddenly his feet slipped and he almost fell.He glanced at it and saw that he was stepping on a bloody corpse with a thin face. This was an enemy who had just been shot dead by our army.Liu Xiusheng's lingering hatred still persisted, so he rewarded him with another shot. When he had just turned around the bend of the trench, a black figure rushed towards him. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand to shoot the gun. The black figure fell to the ground like a wooden stake with a "squeak".It was a large foe, with a battered head and twitching purlin-like legs. "Damn it, you still want to plot against me." Liu Xiusheng cursed secretly in his heart. He was about to bend down and search forward, when he suddenly heard a crash behind his head, the sound came too fast and suddenly, there was no time to turn around and avoid it.He subconsciously blocked it back with the butt of the gun, and with a "clang", the thing was knocked down to the ground.This time it was the long gun that saved him, and what was knocked down was a military shovel used for digging bunkers. With the inertia of the rear rotation of the gun butt, he turned around suddenly, and collided with the oncoming enemy. Before the enemy could grasp his arms, he pushed with all his strength, and the enemy fell face up in the trench. "Let me take you to the west!" With a loud roar, Liu Xiusheng raised his gun and stabbed it into the enemy's chest. He pressed his whole body against the butt of the gun. The spear pierced through the enemy's flesh and then plunged into the soil layer. A fountain of dirty blood sprang out and splashed on his chest. He quickly pulled out the bayonet and rubbed it against the trench wall, the tip of the knife flashed a frightening edge again.He freed his left hand and straightened his military cap first, even on this battlefield of blood and fire, he was unwilling to show a cowardly look.He is the leader of the company, and he has to set an example for the whole company with the demeanor of a soldier anytime and anywhere.He brushed the blood on his chest again with his hands, as if the blood could be easily wiped off like dust.When he found that there was nothing he could do, he tilted his mouth and shook his head, and glanced at the enemy's corpse with a wry smile. "Hey, this one is not as strong as that one, so you just want to plot against me, and don't take a piss to take care of yourself." He teased the enemy's corpse again. It suddenly occurred to him that he should clarify a question. The thing knocked out with the butt of the gun just now was a small military shovel. What about the enemy's gun? He hurriedly glanced around, oh, I see, this enemy is a heavy machine gunner, when he sneaked up on him, he couldn't find a light weapon for a while, and the heavy machine gun ran out of bullets, so he used the shovel out of control, not because What guts, but an ignorant dying struggle. Under the counterattack of my second battalion and the guard company like a tiger pouncing on food, the enemy was beaten dizzy, and fled in embarrassment with heavy casualties. The lost positions of the Fourth Company have returned to our hands. Liu Xiusheng held a gun and stood on the ground of the fourth company that had just been recaptured. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He gradually laughed loudly, and then laughed loudly. His thick lips were tilted sharply to the left, revealing his bright teeth. It is a heartfelt catharsis of warrior feelings. The laughter was like the sound of a gun, closely following the fleeing enemy's ass. After the powerful counterattack of the Twelfth Regiment, the enemy became more honest in the face of heavy casualties, so they had to bombard the position with artillery fire to create a momentum. Of course, that was bluffing. The 2nd Battalion of the 12th Regiment is a new force. This battalion was established in December 1948. The establishment of the second battalion is three companies.The 4th and 5th companies were established in 1946 during the army movement to protect the family and the fruits of the land reform.The Fourth Company was formed by the turned farmers from Fengtai District and joined the army, and it was called Fengtai Company at that time; the Fifth Company was formed by the turned farmers from Lingshan District and joined the army, and it was called Lingshan Company at that time; This battalion participated in the Qingdao (Island) Ji (Mo) Battle from the beginning to the end, from the battle of the outer Lingshan to the liberation of Qingdao. In the second phase of the Qingdao (Island) Ji (Mexico) campaign, because part of the enemy's vital force was wiped out in the first phase, the second battalion immediately changed its shotguns and greatly improved its equipment. The entire battalion was replaced with American equipment, not only the squad leader Submachine guns were replaced, and each platoon was also equipped with light machine guns. In addition to the four, five, and six companies, the battalion also established a new machine gun platoon, equipped with three heavy machine guns and two 60 guns. Equipped with new weapons, this young army has enhanced its infinite combat effectiveness. The battalion cadres are Battalion Commander Sun Junde, Acting Instructor Sun Qingping, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Xiushan, and Deputy Instructor Xu Jishan. This battalion paid an extremely heavy price during the battle in Xifu Town. It annihilated the enemies of Taming Tiger Mountain for the troops in the middle route, pinned down the reinforcements from the direction of Qingdao, and made an indelible victory for the liberation of Qingdao. meritorious service. After the fourth company's position was recaptured, the battle took a new turn. In order to consolidate the results of the battle and expand the position, the regiment command post decided that the second battalion would continue to advance westward on this basis and capture Dushao Village in the west of Xifu Town. Sun Minglun, chief of staff of the regiment, ordered the second battalion deputy battalion commander Wang Xiushan to lead the fourth company as the vanguard to attack inward.After Wang Xiushan received the order, he led the Fourth Company to fight west along Xifu Town. When they reached a village west of Xifu Town, they were surrounded by the enemy. The fourth company was blocked in the village, and the enemy's artillery was suppressed like a torrent, and casualties inevitably appeared.Standing behind a broken wall, Wang Xiushan shouted loudly: "Machine gun! Machine gun! Hold it down!" Seeing that his beloved subordinate was injured and sacrificed, Wang Xiushan was furious, his eyes were bloodshot. The shout attracted a stream of bullets, which sent sparks flying into the stone at the base of the wall.For the safety of the deputy battalion commander, the correspondent of the fourth company jumped over and grabbed Wang Xiushan and pulled him back. Wang Xiushan was on fire. He pushed the correspondent of the fourth company away and shouted: "Get out of the way, I won't let me command, the machine gun Hurry up and silence the enemy's machine gun! Damn KMT!" A light machine gunner held a light machine gun and walked quickly to the deputy battalion commander. The machine gunner swept vigorously, and the enemy's cheering machine gun went silent. The soldiers lying on the ground were moved by the bravery of the deputy battalion commander. The moment the enemy's machine gun went silent, they stood up again, shouting and rushing towards the enemy's formation... Hand-to-hand combat, hand-to-hand combat, the battle was stalemate. The chief of staff of the regiment, Sun Minglun, then ordered the second battalion commander, Sun Junde, to lead the fifth and sixth companies to continue to fight west along Xifu Town. They must occupy Dushao Village and cut the enemy like a pair of scissors head-on. . The battle was very cruel. In the fierce battle, Battalion Commander Sun was deafened by a shell from the enemy and could not hear anything.Under such circumstances, the chief of staff made a decisive decision and sent acting instructor Sun Qingping to take over the command of Battalion Commander Sun, and captured Du Shao Village at all costs. After Sun Qingping accepted the mission, he led the second battalion to brave the enemy's bullets.Fighting all the way to the west, although the enemy's bullets circled around them like a swarm of moths, none of the soldiers was afraid of death, and everyone was brave and took the lead. The machine gun platoon exerted its mighty power, three heavy machine guns and two 60 guns assembled a net of fire, sweeping across the enemy line like a sudden hurricane, the enemy's firepower was stunned for an instant. Sun Qingping seized the momentary gap, waved his hands to the troops behind, and shouted in a low voice: "Follow me!" He jumped up from the ridge like an arrow leaving the string, and the troops behind him rushed to kill bravely.On the battlefield, cadres are the backbone of soldiers. In times of crisis, cadres' actions are silent orders. Cadres are not afraid of death and charge forward. Soldiers are willing to follow such commanders to die. Dushao Village was finally taken down. The steel guns in the hands of the soldiers still emitted blue smoke from the scorching muzzle. It seemed to be telling people how tragic the battle that just happened was. After occupying Dushao Village, Sun Qingping ordered the troops to wipe out the remnants of the enemy, rush to repair the fortifications, prepare to crush the enemy's counterattack, and send someone to report the battle situation to the head of the regiment. An order came from the command post of the regiment, ordering the Second Battalion to stick to Dushao Village and not allow the enemy to go beyond Dushao Village until it received an order to withdraw from the regiment headquarters. Because the Second Battalion fought bravely and tenaciously, with excellent weapons and equipment, the stunned enemy couldn't figure out the reality of the Second Battalion for a while, and did not dare to act rashly for a long time.However, there were also small groups of enemy reconnaissance and harassment, and occasionally there were small-scale attacks by platoon units. The main method was to bombard our positions with sporadic artillery fire and blockade the village with firepower. After mining, the enemy bombarded our position with heavy artillery, and then used light and heavy machine guns to clear the way in a platoon-scale, attacking our position in turn.At first, they still had some scruples to advance in a concealed manner, but then they simply straightened up; they ran in a horizontal line with guns to our left and right wings, and took turns to attack the front battalion artillery platoon.A row of bullets swept past, and the enemy fell down a row.That style of play is like a farmer harvesting ripe crops. The soldiers guarded their positions tightly, fighting for every inch of land. The enemy came up and fought down, and came in and fought out. Hand-to-hand combat was commonplace, and this kind of see-saw battle continued until dusk.The enemy attacked more than a dozen times, and the south, west, and east of Dushao Village were full of yellow corpses, which were left by the enemy. The position of our second battalion has always been as firm as a rock under the enemy's successive attacks. The enemy lost hundreds of lives and did not take advantage of it.When the enemy's last attack was repelled that day, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.The Second Battalion organized troops to attack again, cleaned up the forward positions, collected the weapons and ammunition dropped by the enemy to supplement themselves, and achieved the battle to support the war. In the evening, the Second Battalion dispatched reconnaissance personnel to conduct reconnaissance on the enemy, and found that the enemy had heavy troops stationed in front, right and rear of the 12th Regiment, with a total strength of one division. In fact, the Second Battalion has penetrated deeply into the depths of the enemy, forming a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's body. It seems that the command of the regiment command post is so wise and decisive, and it is well planned. At this moment, the commanders and fighters of the Second Battalion also understood that the reason why the enemy bombed indiscriminately during the day at all costs, and the group charged with meatball tactics to rob Du Shao Village desperately, turned out to be a vain attempt to pull out the sharp knife stuck in their body. Of course, there is another reason, the commanders and fighters of the second battalion are not clear yet, that is because at the moment on the Tiger Mountain, the chief of staff of the enemy's appeasement zone is besieged there, and the enemy wants to break through the PLA's defense line here at all costs , rushed to the rescue, and then covered the enemies in Qingdao and fled to Taiwan.Unexpectedly, he was firmly nailed here by the second battalion. After mastering these situations, the commanders of the Second Battalion understood that tomorrow will be a bloody battle, a life-and-death struggle. enemy.Therefore, each company arranged it in time, and was mentally prepared for a decisive battle. Dawn came with people's anxiety. There is silence on the battlefield, and the silence before the battle is the most unbearable moment. Sun Qingping looked at the soldiers who were waiting in full battle, and looked at the pair of eyes that were quietly examining, these eyes were firm and trustworthy.He knows the soldiers under him very well. When it comes to fighting, all of them are heroes who are not afraid of death, and they are all good.Although, sometimes it is inevitable to make a few complaints. "Comrades, today we are going to face a fierce battle. The enemies in front of us are a group of impatient mad dogs. We must firmly hold our positions and create conditions for the troops in the middle to wipe out the enemies of Taming Tiger Mountain." "Don't worry, instructor, even if we die, we must die on the battlefield, and we will never let the enemy advance!" The soldiers replied solemnly. If thousands of people are of the same mind, there will be thousands of manpower; if thousands of people are not of the same mind, no one will be useful.If the commander is single-minded, the people's hearts will not be divided; if the people's hearts are not divided, the orders will be the same; With one heart and one mind, there is nothing impossible to win in this battle. What a good soldier, what a good soldier, Sun Qingping's eyes became moist. The fiery red sun rises from the tip of Laoshan Mountain in the east. The sun is like an incandescent wax ball. Just after climbing over the mountain ridge, the sun is steaming and hot. After a day of fierce fighting yesterday, the faces of the soldiers were covered with dust and gunpowder smoke. At 8 o'clock in the morning, the battle started. The enemy's attack was the same old way as yesterday, first bombarding our position with fierce artillery fire. The sound of cannons, gunshots, killings, and shouts raged, and there were waves of frenzy rolling up on the flat ground.For a while, Du Shao Village was filled with gunfire, and the houses collapsed in a sea of ​​flames. This was followed by the enemy's group charge. The infantry advanced towards our position in a group style of company and battalion scale, and adopted the meatball tactic of attacking the second battalion position aggressively Come on. The soldiers of the Second Battalion, who were waiting in full battle, saw the enemy's death-defying appearance, and their hands were itchy for a long time. When the commander gave the command "hit", the muzzle of the head-on gun immediately ejected angry bullets.In an instant, the enemy was in disarray. No one was raised by their parents. Only a small number of people were really willing to work for the Kuomintang.Several yellow corpses were left on the ground.At that time, the uniforms of the Kuomintang army were yellow for soldiers and green for officers. The defeated enemy, after adjustments, organized a new attack in a short while. This time, they did not counterattack from the front, but advanced from the front of the village, the left and the right of the village. The soldiers of the Second Battalion fired machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and grenades everywhere. They had a great time killing in the rain of bullets. Many new fighters matured in this battle.War rapidly creates courage and courage in man.War is constantly creating miracles. Shrapnel flew across, flesh and blood flew across. The enemy seemed to be fighting more and more, and later even the enemy's attack appeared behind the village, forming a situation that surrounded the second battalion. A plague of locusts.For a whole morning, the enemy's attacks were almost uninterrupted.The officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion fought calmly without fear, and the enemy's attacks were repelled time and time again. At that time, the situation on the battlefield was like landslides and valleys, and rivers and rivers were hanging upside down. Du Shao Village, an ordinary small mountain village at the foot of Laoshan Mountain, has experienced the vicissitudes of war and experienced ups and downs in the world. What does Du Shao Village mean?Both sides in the battle understand each other very well. Nature may not intend to create hardships, but Du Shao Village is a yin and yang boundary for the Kuomintang reinforcements. If the enemy is firmly nailed here, the enemy on Taming Tiger Mountain will only be wiped out. At about 12:00 noon, after a large-scale attack by the enemy was repelled, the living enemy escaped from the position, and our army had a chance to take a breather.The next step is to repair fortifications, replenish guns and ammunition, deal with casualties, hurry up and have lunch, and prepare for another battle.All the commanders and fighters in the battalion knew that the battle in the afternoon would become more brutal. Swear to live and die with the battlefield. 1 p.m. The enemy's attack has begun again. The difference from the morning is that the enemy is facing the scorching sun and braving our fierce artillery fire, striding towards our position. The group charge is based on the scale of the battalion, and they press down on the second battalion without stopping. , The front fell down, and the rear made up, hardly giving us a chance to breathe.The enemy paid a heavy price, but Dushao Village was still firmly in the hands of the Second Battalion as if it had taken root. All that was left around the village were yellow corpses, and occasionally there would be One or two green ones are embellished. After paying such a heavy price, the enemy still failed to take a step into Du Shao Village. Enraged, the enemy first stepped up their artillery fire, from the original six rounds in a row, twelve rounds to twenty-four rounds. During the several days of attack, the enemy fired a total of five or six thousand rounds at our position.The offensive force increased from the front right front and right wing to the rear left wing, and the enemy on the hill behind the right wing also concentrated their fire on the second battalion and fifth company, posing a serious threat to the fifth company. The pressure on the fifth company's position is particularly high, and the casualties are also increasing. With the increase in the number of combat personnel, the fifth company has already felt that its troops are insufficient. attack. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the fifth company's position was at the most critical moment. The fifth company commander died heroically in the battle, and the deputy company commander Cheng and the first platoon leader were also seriously injured. The situation is this: The swarming enemies broke through a hole in the position at the southwest corner of the fifth company. In order to immediately sew up the hole, a platoon leader organized a countercharge and drove the enemy out of the position with bayonet grenades.The scene at that time was really soul-stirring. The counterattacking fighters followed a platoon leader. They were really hard-hitting King Kong, one by one, killing the enemy to the brim, but the platoon leader was also seriously injured in this counterattack. The position that had just been sewn up had not had time to repair it, and the enemy's attack started again, and this time it was more violent than ever before, and they were determined not to give up until they leveled the ground.The soldiers immediately threw themselves into a new fight, and the enemy who rushed up tore a gap of more than ten meters in the position that had just been stitched. Facing the enemy who rushed into the position, the fifth company commander shouted: "People are in the position, comrades, come with me, and resolutely drive the enemy out!" Following his order, the soldiers jumped up and fought the enemy with bayonets, the guns collided, and the sound of killing was loud.It was really guns and guns seeing red knives and knives kissing blood. In a short while, dozens of enemy corpses were lying on the fifth company's position. This group of enemies had just been wiped out, and then a large number of enemies rushed up.The enemies that appeared on the ground this time were not a dozen or so, but the entire right wing was covered in black.Facing the rushing enemy, it was another life-and-death hand-to-hand combat. Heavy weapons were useless in this situation. This was a duel of bravery and will. The officers and soldiers of the whole company armed their bayonets and charged towards the enemy group. This was a life-and-death duel. The faces of the soldiers were all smoked by the gunfire. With white knives going in and red knives coming out in hand-to-hand combat, no one is unequivocal, everyone is full of energy, bayonets pierced the enemy's chest, and the swords and guns collided with blood and flesh.The enemy was once again awed by the aura of our soldiers. Apart from throwing down corpses, the living ones had to run away again. The enemy was driven back again. The fifth company commander died heroically in the battle, and the deputy company commander was also seriously injured. The fifth company paid a heavy price, but the position is still in our hands. The battle for positions continues. The second platoon leader of the fifth company stepped forward and took the initiative to command the battle instead of the company commander. On the battlefield, no one cares about personal gains and losses. The only belief is to firmly hold the position and win the volley victory. The enemy's charge began again, each time more violently, with the noise of huge explosions. The combatants of the fifth company were gradually decreasing, and the wounded were still fighting. One wounded died with the rushing enemy with a bundle of grenades. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and the enemy broke through the position of the fifth company for the third time. The second platoon leader's eyes were bloodshot, while organizing a counterattack, he sent people to the battalion headquarters for help. The fifth company was at the most critical moment in this blocking battle, and the surviving soldiers were all ready to fight to the death. The Communist Party members stood up. They took out the most precious things on their bodies and gave them to the second platoon leader as their last party dues.There are banknotes, new shoes, new sock pads, handkerchiefs embroidered with women's names... nothing expensive, these are very common things today, but they all carry the body temperature of Wulian Communist Party members. The most precious part of their lives. The leader of the second platoon felt that his blood was surging upwards. He was deeply moved by the comrades' determination to die. He said: "We are the soldiers of the people. Our bowls are filled with food grown by the people. The clothes we wear are The cotton grown by the people, today, we are fighting for the people, and we will die on the battlefield to be a tough guy.” After receiving the request for help from the fifth company, the battalion immediately sent acting instructor Sun Qingping to organize forces and lead the battalion communications team to reinforce the fifth company.At that time, the whole battalion was surrounded on all sides, and the battalion headquarters had no extra troops to adjust. Under the command of Sun Qingping, the communications squad of the battalion headquarters who rushed over together with the officers and soldiers of the fifth company used bayonet grenades to fight the enemies who rushed up in hand-to-hand combat. Fatigue, thirst, and hunger were all ignored, and the soldiers had only one thought, to drive the enemy out of the position with all their might. Dushao Village is no different from other villages in the rural areas of northern China, and it is so insignificant in Qingdao. Of course, it has no intention of going down in history.Sunrise and sunset, it has been sitting at the foot of Laoshan in such a stereotyped way for many years, and has been existing in obscurity.It also didn't expect that when the war suddenly chose it, so much human blood would be ruthlessly shed in this humble village. The brave wins in hand-to-hand combat. Iron belief and strong fighting spirit are important conditions that depend on the victory or defeat on the battlefield. Under Sun Qingping's command, the communications team of the battalion headquarters and the officers and soldiers of the fifth company fought desperately, and finally drove the enemy out of the fifth company's position. Sun Qingping looked at the newly consolidated position, the blood all over the ground and the scattered enemy corpses, and let out a deep breath. While the commander of the fifth company led the whole company to start a hand-to-hand fight with the enemy, a large-scale group charge of the enemy also appeared on the position of the sixth company. The crazy enemy rushed to the position of the sixth company, and the commander of the sixth company was fighting with the enemy time heroic sacrifice. The two company commanders sacrificed their time, less than five minutes apart. One can imagine how hard and fierce the battle was, and how brave and tenacious the commanders and fighters of the second battalion were.
