The arrogant Japanese soldiers encountered an ambush by Yang Ling and others, and were beaten to pieces and fled desperately. The Japanese soldiers behind heard the intensive exchange of fire and hurried back to support them.
When they saw their companions being chased and beaten, the little devils who came for reinforcements immediately became furious.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
The Japanese commander who came for reinforcements pulled out the saber from his waist and pressed it hard forward, trying to direct the troops to charge and defeat the pursuing guerrilla officers and soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers with bayonets in their hands rushed towards Yang Ling and the others in a dark way. The remaining Japanese soldiers who had been chased in a panic did not run away when they saw the reinforcements coming. They turned around and started fighting with Yang Ling and the others.
Commander Yang Ling also held a rifle in his hand like an ordinary officer and soldier. He simply pulled the bolt of the gun, pushed the bullet and loaded the gun, and pulled the trigger against the Japanese who were fighting back ferociously.
"boom!"
The Japanese soldiers who fought back with bared teeth and claws were immediately pierced by bullets from close range. They staggered a few steps and fell to the ruins with a thump, causing a cloud of smoke and dust.
Yang Ling quickly pulled out the cartridge case, and a bullet stood on the starting line. As the trigger was pressed, a cloud of blood mist burst out of the head of a Japanese gunman who was shooting, and he was killed again.
Yang Ling only fired two shots. Before he could fire the third shot, a Japanese man with a blackened face rushed towards him with a bayonet in hand.
"roll!"
Yang Ling deflected the Japanese's sudden stabbing bayonet, then raised his foot and kicked the young Japanese into a stinky puddle.
The Jaap soldier struggled to get up, and Yang Ling swung the butt of his gun hard again. With the clang of the helmet, the helmet became shorter, and blood came out along the Japs forehead, and the Japs head
It fell directly into the puddle and stopped moving.
At this time, the reinforcements and the pursuing brothers were already strangled together, and there were roars, curses, and the dull sound of bayonets penetrating the body.
In this life-and-death battlefield, no one will hold back their hands. Bayonets, rifle butts, bullets, stones, fists and teeth, all weapons that can be used but cannot be used are all used.
Screams and cries of killing intertwined together. Amidst the whizzing bullets, the two sides struggled with each other. The melee fighting groups made this small neighborhood full of smoke.
The machine gunners on both sides placed their machine guns behind and fired towards the edge of the battle group. Once they saw someone on the other side leaving the battle group, the bullets immediately hit them.
The little Japs who came up for reinforcements tried to defeat Yang Ling and the others. Yang Ling and the others were tit for tat and showed no weakness. They fought head-on with the Japs. Hundreds of people were involved in a melee, with blood splattering.
"Quick, quick! Surround the Japanese!"
When Yang Ling and his men were strangling the Japs together, in the ruins on both sides of the battle group, some of the brothers from the reserve team were rushing into the battle group under the leadership of their respective officers, and some were outflanking the Japs' retreat.
It means eating all the little devils.
"There are Chinese on the flanks!"
"The Uchinas have cut off our retreat!"
...
The Japanese were certainly not fools. When they saw that many guerrillas were heading towards their retreat in the ruins on the flanks, they immediately understood what was going on.
At the beginning, the Japanese soldiers thought that the guerrillas had already suffered heavy losses in their shelling, and that they were just here to hit them.
But now in the surrounding ruins of the melee, more and more guerrillas appeared, and there was a faint tendency to surround them. This made them realize that the situation was not good, and there were more guerrillas hiding in the city than they thought.
"The third team takes cover, and the rest retreat!"
The Japanese commander who came up with reinforcements also realized something was wrong and immediately issued an order to retreat.
When the Japanese from the third team heard that they were asked to cover, although they were extremely reluctant, they immediately stood at the front with bayonets in hand.
The other Japanese soldiers all turned around and retreated immediately with a feint shot, leaving their positions to the third team who was covering them.
"The little devil is gone, brothers, kill him!"
The battle was fought with great momentum. As soon as the little Japs gave the order to retreat, the momentum suddenly weakened. The guerrilla brothers, on the other hand, became more powerful and rushed towards the Japs desperately to cover them up.
Although the dozens of little Japs from the Third Japanese Squad tried their best to block, they were unable to withstand the horizontal and vertical attacks of the murderous guerrillas.
At this moment, under the command of Yang Ling, they concentrated their forces to attack the Japanese. The Japanese rear infantry team only resisted for a few minutes before being defeated and dispersed.
The guerrilla brothers became more and more courageous as they fought and pursued the retreating Japanese. Not only did they thwart the Japanese's attack, but they also rolled back like ocean waves.
The Japanese soldiers whose attack was frustrated tried to stabilize their position several times, but the guerrillas' counterattack was too fierce, and the counterattack front was two to three hundred meters away.
Once some Japanese wanted to hold their ground and block the guerrillas, the guerrillas pursuing them from both sides would circle around toward the center. These little Japanese were worried about being surrounded and had to retreat again.
But this retreat was untenable, because the guerrillas were chasing them, and they had no time to build a new confidence.
The retreating Japanese soldiers were attacked by a burst of guerrillas. Not only were they defeated, but the two attacking echelons behind them were also dispersed.
It wasn't until the Japanese reserve team came up with timely reinforcements that they managed to stabilize their position and were not driven out of Huaiyin City.
Instead of seizing more blocks, the Japanese soldiers' long-prepared attack actually lost the blocks they occupied in the morning during the guerrillas' counterattack.
If the reserve team behind them hadn't reacted quickly enough, they might have been driven out of the city in the south direction.
The guerrilla brothers chased the Japanese all the way, killing and wounding the Japanese all the way. Seeing that the Japanese had stabilized their position, Yang Ling did not order to continue the counterattack, but wisely led the people back.
Seeing that the guerrillas had withdrawn into the city, the Japanese soldiers who had narrowly escaped death and were breathing heavily breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is not the mob that the intelligence said, it is just a group of murderous wolves. Although the two sides have broken off contact, the Japanese soldiers still have lingering fears.
When Yang Ling and the others returned, they also took care of the injured Japanese soldiers lying in the ruins, and picked up all the weapons and ammunition left everywhere.
Yang Ling and others first lured the enemy deep into the battlefield to ambush the Japanese, and then carried out a counterattack. Not only did they disrupt the Japanese offensive, but they also caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese.
Faced with such an unreasonable move, the Japanese did not react for a while. The result was that they stole chicken but lost rice, and the battle line returned to what it was like in the morning.
After Yang Ling's group's torment, more than half of the Japanese troops in the south were destroyed, a lot of ammunition was lost, and they temporarily lost the ability to continue attacking.
The Japanese commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu was naturally unwilling to give in and launched several small-scale assaults in other directions.
The Japs had a good idea, but the results were unsatisfactory. Several assaults were repelled, which made their idea of taking Huaiyin before dark come to nothing.
And when the Japanese's Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade suffered a heavy setback in Huaiyin and the war fell into a stalemate, Baoying's Watanabe detachment discovered Yang Ling's trick.
They spent so many days searching the encirclement, but no guerrillas were found in the encirclement. They were furious. When they learned that the main force of the guerrillas was in Huaiyin, they also heard the news and marched northward.
