"Attack! Kill the chicken and give it to me!——"

After several rounds of bombardment.

Following the order from the former enemy commander, about a small group of Japanese soldiers immediately launched an attack with a long line of skirmishers.

Their speed was very fast, and they rushed to the foot of the mountain in a short time and were within the attack range of the company.

The company had just been bombed, killing and wounding more than 10 soldiers. Xu Hailang was filled with anger. Seeing the Japanese entering the attack range, he decisively gave the order to open fire.

"Fire, hit, hit me hard!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the company, who were also filled with anger, pulled the triggers one after another without thinking.

"Tu tu tu tu!"

"Tu tu tu tu!——"

"Pah, pah pah pah!——"

Gunshots rang out like explosives, and dense bullets poured down the mountain like raindrops.

Because the Japanese's skirmisher line was very long, although the firepower of the company was very fierce, it did not cause devastating casualties to the Japanese, and only killed about 10 Japanese.

"Hidden, hidden!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Japanese soldiers quickly hid behind a nearby bunker.

Mountains are like this, there are bunkers everywhere.

"That's it?"

The soldiers in the company showed hatred and contempt in their eyes. Unexpectedly, at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of incoming artillery shells. By the time they realized it, these grenades had fallen from the sky and landed beside them.

Exploded violently.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom!"

The artillery of the Japanese artillery was very precise, and the targets they attacked were all machine gun fire points of a company. In just one salvo, five or six machine gunners were blown away with their guns.

"Attack, keep attacking!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!——"

After the bombardment was over, the Japanese squad leader who led the team gave an order and immediately led his soldiers out from behind the bunker. At the same time, the Japanese machine gunners in the rear also opened fire to provide them with fire cover.

Seeing this situation, the furious soldiers of the company were about to continue to attack, but they were stopped by Xu Hailang's order.

Because he suddenly thought of what battalion commander Wang Chengzhu had told them before, that this was a tentative attack by the Japanese. The few Japanese who charged were, to put it bluntly, death squads sent by the Japanese commander. Their purpose was to lure the defenders to expose their targets.

, and then use artillery to conduct targeted bombings to destroy important firepower points such as the defenders' machine gun positions.

On a battlefield with constant gunfire, conventional tactical commands were ineffective. Therefore, Wang Chengzhu specially asked the bugler to carry a gong in addition to the bugle.

When the gong sounded, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion seemed to have received an order from the battalion commander Wang Chengzhu and must stop the attack immediately.

Military orders are very serious when it comes to prohibitions.

On the battlefield, it is very likely that one person's reckless behavior will ruin the entire operation, and even cause countless people to lose their lives.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu attached great importance to military rules and discipline, and emphasized to the soldiers of the Independent Battalion more than once that as a soldier, it is your bounden duty to obey orders.

At this time, as the bugler sounded the gong, the soldiers in the company immediately suppressed the anger in their hearts and retracted their heads behind the bunker.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Hailang immediately said to the messenger on the side: "This is a tentative attack by the Japanese. I order the soldiers not to expose the target first and wait until they get closer before attacking.

Also, especially machine gunners, they must move their position immediately after firing and must not stay in the same place!"

"yes!"

Several messengers agreed, then hunched over and ran away quickly, conveying Xu Hailang's orders to all parts of the position.

At the foot of the mountain.

Yamazaki Jihei saw that Yilian on the mountain had suffered a loss and stopped being fooled. Not only did his face darken: "Baga! These damn Tuballu are so cunning, they actually saw through our plan!"

"Order the 1st and 2nd teams to immediately launch a full-scale attack!"

"Artillery team, ready for fire support at any time!"

"Hiyi!"

One of the ordering soldiers gave a heavy nod and then quickly ran towards the front line.

…

On the other side, the second company and the cavalry company had joined forces, and soon after, the third company also rushed over.

Chen Xi, the third company commander, looked at the direction of the first company and said: "No, listening to this movement, could it be that the Japanese have launched a general attack on the first company!"

The cavalry company commander Chen Xiao frowned and said, "What should we do now? Just rush through?"

Second Company Commander Tian Shuisheng shook his head: "The Japanese have set up many obstacles on our way to Dongyang Village. If we forcefully break through, we will definitely cause inestimable casualties."

"Through the observation of the scouts, it was not difficult for us to find that the Japanese wanted to use the First Company as a bait to encircle us for reinforcements. After seeing that we were not fooled, they launched an attack on the First Company, hoping to force us into their territory.

trap!"

The training of Wang Chengzhu and Zhao Hong greatly improved the strategic vision and tactical guidance capabilities of the independent battalion's military officers.

Tian Shuisheng and others have been able to analyze the enemy's intentions through the battlefield situation.

Chen Xiao said: "Then what should we do? Just let the Japanese attack continue without success?"

Tian Shuisheng: "Of course not! The cavalry is fast. You immediately lead the cavalry company to bypass the Japanese interception line and rush to support the first company."

"Remember, your mission is to contain the Japanese and reduce the pressure on the company. You must not be reluctant to fight!"

"Our second company and third company will follow closely behind!"

"good!"

Chen Xiao nodded and agreed to Tian Shuisheng's plan, then took the first step and led the cavalry company to detour towards Dongyang Village.

Tian Shuisheng and Chen Xi also led the second and third companies to follow closely.

…

On the other side, Zhang Dabiao was worried that the people in Dongyang Village would be massacred by the Japs, so he kept urging the troops to speed up along the way.

At the same time, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao also received the news one after another. After gathering their respective troops, they immediately led their troops towards Dongyang Village.

In addition, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also led their troops to rush towards Dongyang Village.

"Dongyang Village is the defense area of ​​the New Regiment. If we go quickly, we can still have some food. But if we go late, we won't even be able to drink the soup!"

"Quick! Keep speeding up!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie kept urging the troops to speed up, because they knew that Dongyang Village was the defense area of ​​the New Regiment. Needless to say, the troops of the New Regiment would reach their destination first and engage in firefights with the Japanese.

However, the size of this group of Japs was not small, with more than 1,000 people. They estimated that with the current strength of the New Regiment, they would definitely not be able to kill them, so they rushed over with their troops.

On the one hand, it is to reinforce friendly forces, and on the other hand, it is to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

As long as he arrived at the battlefield and fought with the Japanese, no matter whether Li Yunlong was willing or not, he just had to clean up the battlefield anyway.

All of a sudden, various battalions of the New Regiment, as well as the Independent Regiment and many other people were rushing towards Dongyang Village.

Of course, there are also the fourth and fifth companies of the Independent Battalion led by Wang Chengzhu, as well as the artillery company and other units...
