The Japanese No. 1 Squadron retreated. The No. 1 Squadron, which received the order from the captain, did not stay much. They were deeply afraid that the Chinese soldiers in the valley would hit them with artillery shells. From a distance, they looked at a village two miles away in front of them.
, the squadron leader immediately led his squadron towards the village. To the Japanese soldiers in the valley, the squadron leader could only say, "May Amaterasu bless you."
Similarly, the third squadron behind also retreated to Fengju Village behind, under the personal leadership of the captain. Now the nearly 400 Japs in the valley have become lambs to be slaughtered. After the first round of intensive firepower attack, 400 Japs were killed.
There were less than 200 Japs left. Since many of them were technical soldiers, many of them could only stand there stupidly in response to the sudden attack. By the time the Japanese army reacted, half of the Japs had already fallen to the ground.
Because they had to protect the ammunition and baggage below, the soldiers of the Independent Brigade did not shell the Japs in the valley, and even rarely used hand grenades.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain did not use grenades, the remaining Japanese troops seemed to have discovered something. They hid among the supplies and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the mountain. However, after all, the remaining Japanese troops occupied less terrain than the soldiers of the Independent Brigade.
Okay, and the number is too small, with less than 200 men and guns, but the Eighth Route Army on the mountain has four battalions of 2,000 troops. In less than ten minutes, the outcome of the duel will be known. Often as soon as the Japanese army shows up, it will
They would be attacked by several or even dozens of bullets. In this way, there were fewer and fewer Japanese troops who could shoot. Seeing the sparse gunfire, the chief of staff ordered the troops to sound the charge horn.
Hearing the sound of the Charge, Liu Hua knew that the ambush battle at the bottom of Huangya was about to end, so he turned his telescope in the direction of Fengju Village, because Liu Hua had already heard the faint sound of gunfire coming from Fengju Village.
The Japanese captain Sakai quickly arrived at the outskirts of Fengju Village with his troops, but what he couldn't understand was that such a good village was so quiet, so quiet that it made people feel scared. Sakai, who had been marching and fighting, knew that this was a war.
Seeing the signs ahead, his intuition told him that the village ahead must have its own enemies.
"Sasaki-kun, send a small team of soldiers into the village to take a look." Sakai ordered quickly. He would not be stupid enough to put his troops in danger without knowing the situation.
"Hi" the squadron leader of the third squadron agreed immediately. Soon a small group of soldiers came out of the team. They lowered their waists and walked slowly towards the village.
Sun Xingbang, the leader of the first regiment, was staying in a residential house on the edge of the village, carefully observing the Japanese troops outside the village. Through his own observation, he found that there were about two squadrons of nearly 500 Japanese troops outside. These Japanese soldiers had only two squadrons.
For a battalion and a regiment, if you want to eat it, you have to pay a high price, but this is not what the brigade commander wants. Commander Sun knows that troops will come to outflank the Japanese army's retreat soon. Now he
The task was to kill a large number of Japanese troops and to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible in the final attack.
But what made Sun Xingbang happy was that the Japanese troops outside did not have heavy weapons, because he only saw two heavy machine guns and nothing else. "Captain, the Japanese are coming up," said the political commissar next to him.
"Well, I guess this is a tentative attack by the Japanese. Tell the soldiers in the first company that we won't use mortars and heavy machine guns this time. Let them move closer to fight. It's best to leave half of the team for me." Sun Xingbang said fiercely.
said.
The order was quickly conveyed to the first company. The commander of the first company, who was about to fire, quickly suppressed his impulse after hearing the order and waited patiently.
100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters. "Prepare grenades." The first company commander ordered softly, and the soldiers took out the grenades delivered to the Japanese army. "40 meters. Still." The first company commander no longer whispered at this time, but loudly
roared. In an instant, more than 100 grenades fell on the enemy's reunited team. At the same time, the guns in the soldiers' hands also rang, and three crooked light machine guns opened fire one after another, building a dense line of fire in front of the company's position.
The Japanese who were slow to react were swept away one after another, and those who lay down were lucky enough to escape the machine guns of the Eighth Route Army soldiers. The delayed explosion of grenades that fell on the ground broke his dream. Soon, a small team of soldiers finally
Less than two and a half people retreated, leaving more than 30 Japanese corpses in front of the company's position.
"Well done, the first company is really good." Seeing the results of the first company, Captain Sun Xingbang shouted excitedly.
However, the Japanese squadron leader stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence. He had lost most of his full squad without achieving any results. A thought of revenge appeared in his heart. "Yes, I must take revenge.
, told the Eighth Route Army soldiers that the imperial army was invincible.
"Reporting to the captain, I request to lead the remaining two squads to continue charging under the cover of heavy machine guns, occupy the village, and avenge the imperial soldiers who have just been caught in the Eighth Route Army's trick. Please approve it, your Excellency, the captain." With that, the captain said.
Sakai lowered his head in front of him.
"Yoshi, warrior of your empire, I now approve your request and give you command of a small team at the rear. I hope you will work hard. The life and death of our team is in your hands." After listening to Sasaki's words.
, Sakai, who was feeling the atmosphere over losing a squad of soldiers, immediately agreed.
"Hi."
Soon, three squads of Japanese troops gathered in front of the attack position in front of the village. Under the leadership of Sasaki, these soldiers took off their coats one after another and tied a strip of cloth around their foreheads that symbolized beating the Japanese Imperial Samurai.
"No, the Japanese army is going to fight hard." The regiment leader who had been holding a telescope reminded him immediately when he saw the behavior of the Japanese army.
"Well, Commander, the Japs tried their best this time. We should also..." said the political commissar next to him.
"Communicator, order the artillery company to prepare for battle. All heavy machine guns are deployed on the first company's position. The second company will immediately support the first company's position. The remaining four companies are ready for assault." Sun Xingbang made a judgment immediately.
Just when Sun Xingbang was deploying his troops, brigade commander Liu Hua also discovered this situation while standing in the headquarters, "The Japanese are going to fight desperately. Order the guard battalion to set off immediately, go around behind the Japanese army, and launch an attack on the group in Fengju Village."
When they reunite, immediately launch a reunion behind the Japanese army to disrupt the Japanese army's formation. Take action immediately." Liu Hua put down the telescope and ordered immediately.
"Send a report to Commander Sun and tell him that the guard camp is now under his command and will be behind the Japanese in 15 minutes."
Just when the Japanese army started to charge, the telegram from the brigade commander came. Seeing the telegram from the brigade commander, Commander Sun said happily: "Political Commissar, it seems that the brigade commander really has a backup plan. Haha, if the guard battalion is here
The charging Japanese stabbed them in the back, and these hundreds of Japanese troops were left here?"
"Order the troops to take their time and fight, and they must persist for 15 minutes, counting from now on." At this moment, the Japanese offensive troops have arrived 300 meters outside the village. "Order the artillery company to attack the Japanese rearguard troops."
Shell on them, drive them away, they are moving too slowly. Order the first and second companies in front to fire when the Japanese troops enter 200 meters in front of the position, and do not let the Japanese troops get too close to the position."
"Boom, boom, boom..." The artillery company started bombarding, and 16 shells fell like a line at the end of the Japanese charging team. The charging Japanese were stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and accelerated the pace of the attack. The distance was 100 meters.
The walk was over soon. "Da da da..." The eight heavy machine guns on the positions of the first and second companies opened fire. The Japanese troops in the first row fell down one after another like wheat being cut down, and the Japanese troops behind them lay on their backs.
On the ground, avoiding the intensive firepower.
However, lying down is not a good idea. A line of 16 artillery shells at a time slowly approached the lying Japanese army. Boom boom boom... the shells began to explode behind the Japanese army. Squadron leader Sasaki Jaya was lying in the middle of the team.
I couldn't stand the feeling of being beaten with bullets in front and artillery shells in the back. I stood up suddenly, raised my command knife, "Kill..." Maybe the bullets of the heavy machine gun had eyes, and the bullets kept coming.
The running Sasaki was not hit. Under Sasaki's crazy leadership, the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another, firing and charging... The soldiers next to him fell, and the soldiers in front fell and stepped on him.
The corpses continued to charge. Under this fearless charge, the soldiers of the two companies instantly felt the pressure.
Although there were eight heavy machine guns covering them, the Japanese were not afraid of death at this time and had skillful tactical movements. Along the way, very few Japanese were hit by the heavy machine guns. Soon, more than one small group of Japanese rushed to the position.
30 meters away from the front. Under the Japs' charge and precise marksmanship, the two companies on the position quickly lost one platoon, and a small team of Japs were so close that the heavy machine guns could not play any suppressive role at all.
.
"Grenade" the two company commanders shouted almost simultaneously, and a group of grenades were thrown out.
"Captain, it's time." The political commissar who had been paying attention to the battle situation immediately reminded him.
"Corpser, blow the charge horn," the regimental leader immediately ordered.
"Tick-tock-tock..." A loud sound of charge horns sounded on the position. The soldiers of the four companies who had been prepared for a long time were like tigers coming out of the mountain. They launched a countercharge towards the Japanese troops who were stunned by the grenades. The soldiers of the four companies were overwhelming and were defeated.
The grenade exploded and only half of the Japanese army was left. Like a gust of wind, they were all eaten by the soldiers of the four companies. Sakai, who was standing at the end, saw the swarming Eighth Route Army and was immediately frightened. He quickly ordered the troops to retreat.
And at this moment, the guard battalion behind them also heard the charge horn and launched a charge.
A guard battalion with four companies of troops quickly overwhelmed a small team next to Sakai and won. At this time, Liu Hua finally let go of a big bone in his heart and began to stare at the Japanese troops of a squadron in the direction of Gongjiazhuang.
