"It's the cavalry...division commander, the cavalry of the Independent Regiment ambushing in the northwest two directions have been dispatched!" a combat staff officer suddenly shouted.
Lieutenant General Sato quickly turned his head and looked over.
Hundreds of cavalrymen waved their sabers and divided into two groups to attack the circular defense line at very high speed...
Looking at it from a distance, it looks like two sharp arrows, unstoppable, piercing the defense line...
The battle scene in the second half of last night emerged in my mind unconsciously.
It was exactly the same as the battle in front of me, with artillery taking the lead and cavalry attacking...
But last night's cavalry assault was all a feint, just a show for myself, but I don't know if tonight's cavalry charge is still a show.
The chief of staff suddenly interjected: "Division commander... the cavalry attacking the circular position seems to be slowing down!"
"I saw it too!" Lieutenant General Sato snorted coldly.
"The Independent Regiment underestimated us... Yesterday, we were confused and deceived by the cavalry, and made the wrong direction of the Independent Regiment's main attack. Today, we must not make the same mistake again!"
"Order the defenders in the northwest two directions... to strictly guard their positions and block the cavalry assault at all costs!"
After saying that, he turned his attention to the two directions southeast of the station.
Since the cavalry assault was a feint attack, the southeast two directions must be the independent regiment's main attack directions.
At this time, Sato already somewhat supported the chief of staff’s initial judgment...
It is really possible that the Independent Group will repeat its old tricks and give itself a chance to attack the east...
"Reporting to the head of the division..."
A communications staff officer suddenly climbed up to the high ground. Before he could stand still, he gasped and reported: "The troops stationed due south reported... there is a small group of enemy activities in front of their position..."
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of intensive firefights came from the circular position due south.
Judging from the sound of gunfire, the distance between the two parties in the firefight was very close, and grenades and hand grenades were even used!
Lieutenant General Sato became more and more certain that the Independent Regiment wanted to repeat its old tricks tonight. In order to prevent the troops from repeating the same mistakes as last night, a small force from the Independent Regiment once again entered the station and ordered them immediately.
"Immediately contact the garrison due east and ask them to dispatch a squadron to rush to reinforce the garrison due south. Be sure to stop them!"
The chief of staff also had lingering fears about the battle last night, fearing that a small group of troops sent by the independent regiment would sneak into the hinterland of Sato's division again, and rushed to the division headquarters.
Behind the bushes more than 300 meters due east of the circular defense line, two main companies and a firepower company of the assault battalion were lurking here.
More than 400 soldiers, each armed with a gas mask, some carrying rifles, others carrying light and heavy machine guns and mortars, stood ready, quietly waiting for the moment of attack to arrive.
"Battal Commander... The kid in front has just been taken away from an infantry squadron. Now is the time to attack!" Wei Dayong, the commander of the Tuyi Company, asked with expectation on his face.
"Wait a minute!" Huang Yu replied, staring at the battlefield.
"When all the reinforcements mobilized by the Japanese are involved in the battle, and there is no way to return here to support, we will fight out again, seize the circular position in front of us as quickly as possible, establish a position on the spot, and use blocking warfare to consume a large number of Japanese troops. Before dark
Evacuate the battlefield..."
Ten minutes later, more than 400 soldiers, like more than 400 tigers, roared and rushed towards the ring position.
Lieutenant General Sato mobilized nearly 200 of the more than 500 little Japs. They were killed and injured more than 100 people in the artillery raid. Only about 200 of them are still alive now...
The assault battalion suddenly launched an attack. Although the Japanese were frightened, they still participated in the battle as planned, relying on their poisonous gas bombs. They planned to block them more than 100 meters in front of the formation and use the poisonous gas bombs to eliminate them.
"Captain...there seems to be something wrong with the enemy!" On the circular position, the Japanese adjutant reminded with a frown.
The artillery squadron has fired five rounds of poison gas bombs at the target area, and the position more than 100 meters in front of the formation was completely shrouded in poison gas!
When the independent regiment launched its first attack last night, the attacking troops collapsed long ago. Many were killed, injured, and escaped...
The troops in front of them had no intention of collapsing. There were still many people rushing out of the gas bomb coverage area and continuing to attack the ring position...
"The enemies attacking us are equipped with gas masks!" the Japanese squadron leader seemed to notice that something was wrong, and said solemnly!
"Increase firepower output...stop them at all costs!"
"Call the headquarters immediately: The independent regiment has gas masks and gas bombs cannot stop them. We have suffered heavy casualties and request reinforcements..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The grenadier, hidden among the attacking troops, suddenly joins the fight...
A string of six grenades smashed into the circular position in an instant, and one grenade hit right next to the squadron leader.
Before the squadron leader could move, the powerful air wave knocked him over in the trench, motionless...
"Boom boom boom..."
The six grenade launchers continued to attack, and soon the ring formation was filled with smoke.
The Japanese also have grenade launchers, and their reaction speed is much faster than that of the assault battalion grenade launchers. However, the area where the assault battalion is located is filled with poisonous smoke, and they cannot see the specific location of the grenade launchers, so they can only shoot blindly.
However, the grenade hand of the assault battalion knew the specific location of the Japanese ring position. They had practiced it many times before the war, and they could hit the target with their grenades with their eyes closed...
"Comrades... charge... kill me..." Wei Dayong, wearing a gas mask, took the lead and rushed out of the poisonous smoke, shooting forward with the submachine gun in his hand...
The guards and subordinates who were following him opened fire at the same time... The little Japanese who suffered heavy casualties was knocked down again...
On the high ground where the Japanese army headquarters was located, Lieutenant General Sato thought he had seen through the independent regiment's attack plan. Just when he was feeling happy, the circular position to the west was also attacked.
Because I took away an infantry squadron, that side was the direction with the weakest defense in the entire circular position.
If it is the independent group's main attack direction, even though they have gas bombs to assist them, there is a high chance that they will not be able to defend it.
After all, the Independent Regiment had the experience of using a small team to break through its outer defense line last night...
"Immediately transfer two squadrons from the reserve to march quickly to reinforce the western defense line... Go faster and block the enemy's attacking troops at all costs!" Lieutenant General Sato ordered seriously.
Wei Dayong rushed harder and harder. When he was still more than thirty meters away from the blocking position, he decisively threw a grenade forward!
Dozens of subordinates took action together, and a large area of the blocking position that already had few people was blown up...
"kill……"
Wei Dayong was the first to rush to the blocking position and emptied all the bullets in the magazine before stopping.
Looking at the corpses of the Japanese on the ground in front of him, he said with excitement: "Hurry up and move the sandbags in front of the position, set up a defense line on the spot, switch to defense, and prepare for the little Japanese's counterattack, hurry up!"
