With a flurry of punches, the three independent battalion infantry companies of the independent battalion, led by Tang Dao, beat the Japanese army to pieces. They carried the wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers and fled directly.
On the way, we met up with the fire support company that had completely defeated the Japanese army, and by the way, we killed a few fish that had slipped through the trap, and then we all returned to the station where the fortifications had been built.
However, there was no time to repair, and the three infantry companies reentered the trenches, chasing the main force of the Japanese army behind them.
The artillery company and the borrowed mortar battalion all huddled in an area about 500 meters behind the position. Once the main force of the Japanese army attacked, they were the main force that showed the Japanese army "why the patterns are so red."
However, even Tang Dao did not expect that the Japanese army would be intimidated. After searching the battlefield where the two sides encountered each other for a while, they never moved forward again.
The infantry and artillerymen of the Independent Battalion, who were waiting in full formation, kept staring until daybreak without waiting for anyone to come. Gu Xishui, who was still staying in the wilderness a few kilometers away, was watching with his binoculars as the Japanese troops carried out the search in a very stupid way.
The remains of Japanese infantrymen escaped.
As for the Japanese troops that were completely wiped out recently from the Independence Battalion position, the Japanese seemed to have forgotten about them.
The real situation is that even the Japanese did not know that the Sanben Squadron would be so stupid. After fighting like that, they even wanted to crash into the Chinese positions. Isn't it stupid?
The real ones who don't regret death are them.
However, even if they knew about it, the Japanese Army No. 600 probably would not have the courage to move forward. It is already strenuous enough for 600 people to carry more than 300 corpses. Then fill them in and ask the Acting Brigade Commander to send another 2,000 people to carry them?
There is nothing wrong with this logic.
After hearing the report from the special operations team that the Japanese reinforcements were only 600 people, Tang Dao regretfully slapped his thigh in the trench: "Oh no, if I had known, the little devil would only send 600 people, I would have to leave them behind even if I sent out the entire independent battalion."
, maybe we can even play a little siege and call for reinforcements!"
"What does encirclement and reinforcements mean?" Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff who was originally responsible for "staff" tactics, was obviously a super layman, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Surround these 600 people and beat them until they are called mummy. Can the Japanese send more people to rescue them? Then on their way out, we will ambush two more infantry regiments to kill them. If that doesn't work, we will use artillery.
Damn it!" Lei Xiong on the other side interjected.
The two chief military officers of the Independent Battalion were so relaxed that they didn't take the Japanese army seriously at all, but they made Guo Shouzhi on the side so cold sweat broke out on his forehead that he began to reflect on whether it was a mistake to follow these two men.
Two infantry regiments were returned. When daylight came, the Japanese aircraft and artillery came over. The thousand soldiers of the Independent Battalion were not enough for these two wanderers.
This is Guo Shouzhi's habitual thinking. In night battles, the Japanese army without the support of aircraft and artillery is not as scary as imagined. But once the Japanese army's heavy firearms come into use, it will be too difficult for the Chinese army. The battles are like this from North China to Southeast China.
call taxi.
In almost all the battles Zhuang Shisan participated in, he followed Tang Dao. He was either shooting at each other in the dark with the Japanese army at night, or he turned around and hit the Japanese army with a stick while running. His thinking jumped out of the circle caused by inertia.
After hearing what Lei Xiong said, he nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea! I've studied it and I didn't succeed this time. We can do it next time. There are more opportunities."
Guo Shouzhi
The scar on his face twitched slightly, and he almost rolled his eyes at his unreliable colleagues.
"Haha! Lao Zhuang, don't tell the truth. If you didn't look at Lao Guo, he would roll his eyes at you. What you just did was just bragging, and you were encircling the Japanese to support them in this plain area.
, don’t send us all to grandma’s house.” Tang Dao couldn’t help but laugh when he saw Guo Shouzhi’s gloomy expression, wanting to speak but being embarrassed to interrupt the bragging of several people.
Lei Xiong and Zhuang Shisan both laughed. Only then did Guo Shouzhi realize that Tang Dao was in a joking mood just now and couldn't help but laugh.
The chief officers of the independent battalion must laugh.
In this battle, they killed more than 500 Japanese troops, but their own losses were 40 wounded and 18 dead. Compared with the Japanese troops, such losses were almost nothing.
Moreover, this was not a record achieved in a defensive battle relying on solid fortifications. It was a complete field battle. Both sides built temporary individual bunkers, and even all tactical plans were made according to circumstances.
There is no doubt that this is an almost perfect battle, whether it is the commander or the lowest level soldier.
Eighty percent of the casualties were former Songjiang Security Regiment soldiers who had recently joined the independent battalion. They were actually much stronger than they were more than ten days ago.
Continuous battlefields reduced their number from nearly 3,000 to 500, with a survival rate of only 17%. They were like a piece of iron that was continuously forged in the battlefield, a furnace that was either alive or dead, and the impurities were removed to become
Hundreds of refined steel.
But this is still not enough.
This kind of field battle, where they are almost face to face and nose to nose, is something they have almost never experienced. The individual soldiers did not dig the temporary bunker fast enough, and the area of the body that was exposed when shooting was too large, facing the constant bullets fired by the Japanese army.
and grenades, lack of courage to leave the place, and other factors were the most important reasons for their dozens of casualties.
Compared with them, those veterans are more than one level better. They are excellent enough in terms of resolutely following the orders of the squad and platoon leader, as well as in the skills and tactics of individual combat, which also makes the security team more capable.
The newly joined officers and soldiers were completely convinced.
Originally, they were thinking that they were soldiers who had fought in several battles, and they were also 'bringing money into the group', so why should they be either deputies or ordinary soldiers? What do those veteran veterans have to do with them?
After this battle, they understood that they were only soldiers who survived a few battlefields, but those soldiers had come from a dozen or more battlefields. How lucky they were to survive until now.
It's not all luck.
Then you must first have enough strength to be qualified to talk about the word luck.
Yes, the biggest gain of the Independence Battalion in this battle was not to annihilate enough Japanese troops with minimal losses, but to put a knife in Ushijima Sadao's nest.
That Japanese army lieutenant general could lose hundreds of heavy artillery pieces, so what else could he not lose now? Besides, those were the unlucky soldiers of the Sixth Division, and they had something to do with him. As long as three thousand people were not killed,
Man, that's not a problem.
The biggest gain for the independent battalion was that it was completely integrated into a whole. The officers and soldiers who originally came from the three armies experienced this battle and fought side by side in life and death. The original feeling of strangeness was quickly eliminated. The dissatisfaction they once felt was also eliminated by the outstanding talents on the battlefield.
To be eliminated.
More importantly, in addition to Tang Dao, the famous supreme commander who still shines brightly, the other company commanders who participated in the battle also had their own outstanding performances.
Cheng Tietshou, the commander of the fire support company who only showed his "iron-headed" tough-guy temperament during the exchange of fire with Japanese aircraft, proved with a battle that he no longer had an iron head to prove that there was nothing showy about his iron head.
wisdom.
Leng Feng was always cold and tough, which resulted in his infantry suffering the most casualties among the three infantry companies. However, he did not mean to only drive his men to fight. In the most difficult battles, he always took the lead and rushed to the front.
As the name suggests, he is a sharp blade with a chilling edge.
In front of the position of the first company he led, the Japanese army tried their best to maintain the position. Four or five companies were defeated. As many as seventy Japanese soldiers died in the battle. If the Japanese reinforcements were not about to arrive, it would only take half an hour. Even if there was no need to launch a charge, the first company would definitely
It would take no more than an hour and a half to completely defeat the Japanese army in front of them.
One hundred and six VS one hundred, both sides had no artillery support. To be able to completely annihilate the Japanese army in one and a half hours, which was once able to outnumber one hundred to five hundred, is a brilliant achievement anywhere.
Qian Dazhu's third company did not show the same ferocious temperament as the first company. However, under the command of Lei Xiong, there were more than fifty Japanese corpses left in front of the third company's position, and the casualties of the third company were also three infantry companies.
The least of them.
If Leng Feng is a knife, then Qian Dazhu is an iron rope.
The knife is a powerful weapon that can cut the opponent into pieces in a gratifying manner, while the iron rope is a necessary tool that can tightly trap the opponent until there is nowhere to escape.
The process of killing the enemy is different between the two, but the result is the same.
Relatively speaking, the second company commander Li Jijin, who had almost no performance, was mediocre and had almost no performance, but this is normal.
Who allowed him to stand next to the most handsome boy on this battlefield? Standing next to Tang Dao, the only one who could still shine brightly was Lei Xiong so far.
The soldiers' recognition of their respective commanders' commanding abilities should be one of the biggest gains of the independent battalion's battle.
Of course, it cannot be said that the weapons and equipment captured on the battlefield are not important.
The Japanese army was a fat sheep.
Each individual soldier carries at least a hundred rounds of ammunition. The yellow and orange bullets in the bullet boxes that were not finished in time were collected by the soldiers and carried back in wooden boxes. Just looking at them makes people fond of them.
There were also melon-style grenades. Although the Japanese army used a lot of them, the battle ended so quickly. At least half of them were not thrown out before they could be thrown out and became the trophies of the independent battalion. The number was as high as more than 1,200.
There are more than 320 rifles that are not damaged and can still be used, 4 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 12 grenade tubes and 70 or 80 grenades dedicated to the grenade tubes.
Not to mention that the military chiefs of the Independent Battalion were pleased with this, the two commanders who had already sent signal troops to wait for the "harvest" on the Independent Battalion's position were also laughing.
"The two military officers said that this time, in order to cooperate with the independent camp's night attack, the entire army used 40 artillery pieces and nearly 15,000 personnel. The losses of various units were huge and they needed to be supplemented by loot." The two signal soldiers looked at the items placed on the independent battalion.
He looked at the trophies in the trenches of the battalion and expressed his feelings "embarrassedly".
Is there any pure friendship in this world? What about the promised comradeship?
"Fuck!" Tang Dao replied to the two signal soldiers sent by the headquarters with a greeting from his hometown.
Since these two people are so disrespectful of martial ethics, Tang Dao is not shy about overturning the 'boat of friendship'.
That is, neither the signal corps nor the two lieutenant generals understood it. Whether they were pretending or not, the baggage company sent by the 67th Army to transport supplies ran extremely fast, faster than the Japanese.
Otherwise, the company commander who was also under the battalion commander of Tang Dynasty was afraid of seeing the middle finger shown by a certain colonel.
That gesture seems to have been used by Battalion Commander Tang to the Japanese in the distance. It should be a little bit more unpleasant than "fuck"...
