The village burned by the war was like a tomb burning with will-o'-the-wisps in the dark night. Captain Morimoto stared at the small village in front of him with a particularly gloomy expression.
The gunfire and explosions in the direction of Jingzhen Mountain have been going on for several hours. The Noda troops who occupied the area are being besieged by the Chinese Army.
Because the communication was cut off, Captain Morimoto didn't know what was going on at Jingzhen Mountain, but he guessed that the situation must be extremely dangerous.
Now the combat intention of the Chinese ** team has become very obvious, that is, he wants to wipe out all the troops on Jingzhen Mountain, so he must break through the blockage of the Chinese ** team in front of him in a short time and put the troops in a bitter battle on Jingzhen Mountain.
Friendly forces responded.
Otherwise, Noda's troops in Jingzhen Mountain may suffer a devastating blow, and he himself will not be able to escape the blame.
After experiencing the initial carelessness of underestimating the enemy, the Japanese Captain Morimoto also woke up. This was not a simple night battle, but a premeditated military operation. The Chinese corps wanted to completely wipe out the imperial army on Jingzhen Mountain.
"The first team stays here, the other troops go around here and attack on foot towards Jingzhen Mountain!"
After Captain Morimoto saw through Yang Ling's strategic intention, he immediately decided to go around this small village that was blocking them.
"Hiyi!"
The disgraced Japanese officers at all levels immediately announced new orders. The Japanese soldiers of Morimoto's unit immediately abandoned their military vehicles, left the dirt road and entered the dark fields, trying to bypass the village and walk to Jingzhen Mountain for reinforcements.
"Company commander, something is wrong. Why don't the Japanese attack?"
After company commander Sun Liangcheng and others repelled the first Japanese attack, they found that the Japanese had stopped moving.
"Are the Japanese afraid of us being too scared to come over?"
A soldier pointed at the scattered corpses in front of the village and said optimistically.
Company commander Sun Liangcheng frowned, but it was pitch dark and he couldn't see what was happening on the Japanese side. Just when he was about to send someone to check the situation, a brother climbed in through the broken window at the back because the door was already closed.
It was bombed and collapsed.
The sudden movement behind them startled Sun Liangcheng and others, thinking that the Japanese were coming from behind.
"Company, company commander, I'm from the second platoon..."
The soldier who climbed in through the broken window faced several guns pointed at him, and was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"You didn't even say a word when you came over. I thought you were a Japs." With the help of the firelight burning outside, Sun Liangcheng recognized this man as a communications soldier from the second platoon.
"What's going on?" Sun Liangcheng asked.
The communications soldier replied: "The Japanese bypassed the village. Our platoon leader asked me to report."
After hearing this, the company commander Sun Liangcheng suddenly realized. He was also wondering why the Japanese didn't move after the first attack. He felt that he was trying to spare them from outside the village.
While they were talking, gunfire rang out from the other side of the river two miles away from their flank, and the gunfire quickly became intensive.
When the Japanese infantry led by Captain Morimoto bypassed Sun Liangcheng's village, they ran into Zhang Tie's defense line of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade.
Zhang Tie not only has more than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade under his command, but also more than 90 ordinary soldiers, who have deployed two lines of defense.
One line of defense was laid out along a shallow river, and the other line of defense was at the village a mile behind them.
Their line of defense was a few miles behind Sun Liangcheng's side. When the Japanese tried to cross the river, they exchanged fire with the soldiers guarding the first line of defense.
"Da da da......"
Two light machine guns were set up on the river embankment, shooting wildly at the Japanese crossing the river.
"Puff puff!"
The little Japanese who were wading across the river did not expect that there were Chinese soldiers here, and they were confused. Many of them were shot directly and fell into the river, and the river water suddenly turned bright red.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
The little devils crossing the river saw an obstruction ahead, and under the leadership of the officers, they quickly launched a charge, trying to seize the position on the river embankment.
The dozens of Chinese officers and soldiers guarding here launched a fierce attack on the Japanese who forcibly crossed. For a time, bullets flew everywhere, and the river was blown up and turned into turbid waves.
The Japanese Captain Morimoto was also livid with anger. He didn't expect that he would also encounter a blockade here after bypassing the village.
He had to separate two combat teams to cross the river a few hundred meters downstream where they were blocked, then launch an attack from the downstream, and then pass here.
"Boom! Boom!"
The Japanese's light and heavy machine guns opened fire, and dense rain of bullets poured towards the Chinese garrison position on the other side of the river. From time to time, Chinese officers and soldiers were shot and carried down.
"Report, there is a group of Japanese soldiers crossing the river from the lower reaches!"
Just as the Chinese officers and soldiers were beating the Japanese so that they could not cross the river, the battlefield sentry hurriedly came from the lower reaches to report.
As soon as the words here finished, gunshots were heard a few hundred meters downstream, and a firefight broke out between a security squad and the Japs.
The Japanese have already crossed the river. If they attack from the lower reaches again, the river embankment position will be under attack from both sides.
"Retreat, retreat to the village!"
Commander Zhang Tie made a prompt decision and led the surviving officers and soldiers to evacuate towards the village one mile away.
The few little Japs who were the first to cross the river rushed to the embankment, but before they had time to rejoice, they were blown up into the sky with several loud booms.
Soon, the Japs crossing the river downstream and the Japs crossing the river frontally occupied the positions on the river embankment, and then followed the retreating Zhang Tie and others towards the direction of Jingzhen Mountain to attack.
The battle that broke out in this small river caused the Japanese Morimoto troops to lose more than thirty people. Although he was very angry, Captain Morimoto had nowhere to vent, so he could only lead his troops to continue to smear the enemy and fight forward.
But what made him collapse was that the vanguard unit walking in front stepped on landmines from time to time and was blown away. Faced with the wails of the wounded who had their legs blown off, he was in an extremely bad mood. He now particularly hoped for dawn as soon as possible, so that he could No one can stop their progress.
"Damn it, the first and second platoons will defend here for me, and the third platoons will follow me to take the enemy's retreat!'
When the Japanese Captain Morimoto and his men bypassed the defense line guarded by Sun Liangcheng and others and reached their side and rear, the company commander Sun Liangcheng made a prompt decision and led the third platoon in reserve directly towards the Japanese's ass.
While the Japanese commanded by Captain Morimoto were launching a fierce attack on Zhang Tie's second line of defense, Sun Liangcheng had already led dozens of officers and soldiers behind the Japanese.
"Have you seen the enemy's heavy machine gun position over there? Let's pick it up for him!"
Sun Liangcheng and the others did not launch an attack rashly. They prepared to find the location of the Japanese commander, but failed to find it. However, they soon discovered the Japanese heavy machine gun position.
Dozens of brothers, under the cover of darkness, silently went straight to the Japanese heavy machine gun position, but the Japanese did not expect that someone would attack from behind them.
They are now focused on breaking through the blockade and rescuing Jing Zhenshan. They are completely ignoring the head and body, and it is inevitable that they will suffer losses.
