The Japanese were naturally unconvinced when they lost the outer positions of the station in a daze. The Japanese captain judged from the intensity of gunfire from Yang Ling and others that there were not many Chinese troops attacking the station, so he requested reinforcements from nearby troops and organized troops to prepare for a counterattack.
More than two hundred elite Japs who looked like wolves and tigers were gathered in the bus shelter of the station. They were short in stature but strong and powerful. When they saw the captain approaching with a dark face, they all stood at attention and saluted.
The captain's sharp gaze passed over the faces of these rebellious soldiers. Without any unnecessary nonsense, he pointed in the direction of the outer position and roared: "Charge out and kill all the Chinese people! Take back our position!"
"Hey Yi!" Two hundred murderous Japanese soldiers responded with a sonorous and powerful bow. Each of them had a tense face and grinned in a way that made people shudder.
The Japanese captain looked at these fierce subordinates and nodded to the Japanese lieutenant next to him with a white cloth tied on his head.
"Fix the bayonet!" the Japanese lieutenant pulled out his sharp saber and ordered in a low voice.
The two hundred Japanese soldiers quickly pulled out the cold-glow bayonets from the scabbards on their waists, loaded them on their rifles with a click, and raised their shining bayonets across the ground, full of murderous intent.
When the Japanese soldiers organized death squads to counterattack and retake the outer positions of the station, Yang Ling and the others also figured out the situation of the Japanese inside the station.
"There are at least three to four hundred Japs huddled inside the station. They have fierce firepower and complete fortifications. We will suffer losses if we attack. I suggest we besiege them instead of attacking them and wait until our reinforcements arrive before attacking."
As the deputy battalion commander, Lao Yanqiang has been on the battlefield all year round and almost escaped death. He has rich combat experience. He knows that the Japanese are fierce in combat. Although they have made a sudden attack on the Japanese and temporarily won the victory, it was a fluke.
.
If they now only have a meager force of one battalion, it would be too risky to rashly attack the station. If the Japanese counterattack, they will not even have the strength to resist.
"We may not know when our reinforcements will arrive. We can't waste time like this. If the Japanese reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult to defeat them by then. Besides, the order from the division headquarters is to capture before dawn, but now it's too late.
Two hours have passed, and time waits for no one."
"But our strength is not as good as that of the Japanese. If we try hard, we don't know how many brothers we will lose."
Several officers began to argue with each other. On the one hand, they were lacking in strength, and on the other hand, they were under military orders. This put them in a dilemma, whether they wanted to fight or not.
"Regiment deputy, are you going to fight?" Wang Huzi looked at the silent Yang Ling, turned his head and asked.
Yang Ling has also been thinking about the pros and cons of fighting or not fighting. When Wang Huzi asked, he decided to take a risk and give it a try. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and it was not an option to continue to waste it like this.
"I'm ready to fight. Although the Japanese are fierce, our brothers are not cowards. We have practiced attack tactics countless times. As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to use it. Now is the time for us to go to war. We can't be timid!"
Hearing what Yang Ling said, Wang Huzi started to shout first, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Regiment deputy, leave the task of this assault company to us, we promise to tear a hole!"
The reason why Yang Ling wants to fight is firstly because he trusts the strength of his brothers, and also because he wants to eliminate their fear of the Japanese. In the past, they dared to fight only when they were several times stronger than the Japanese, but this time they have about the same strength as the Japanese. Once they win a big victory
, then you will no longer be timid when encountering Japanese enemies in the future.
Moreover, they are the ones taking the initiative to attack. If they really can't fight anymore, they can just withdraw at worst. The decision-making power is in their hands. This is the advantage of the attacking side.
Seeing Wang Huzi clamoring for a fight, he was very enthusiastic about fighting. Although Yang Ling was happy, he still suppressed it and said: "Although we want to fight, we have to make a good calculation and cannot fight blindly."
"The Japanese are huddled inside the fortifications. We can't rush up in a swarm. That will cause too many casualties and we will suffer a loss. My suggestion is to use a combination of individual blasting and group assaults to launch the attack."
Yang Ling's proposal was unanimously approved by the battalion and company commanders. In the small space of the station, a large-scale attack would only increase casualties, but a small group of individual soldiers would be more effective.
After the combat plan was finalized, Yang Ling quickly separated the three combat companies of the assault battalion. One part served as the reserve team to guard, and the other part supplemented the collection of seized grenade and explosive bags and divided them into several demolition teams. At the same time, a temporary assault team was formed and carried out some
Battle preparation.
Fortunately, the brothers received a lot of training in this area during the training. They were very familiar with making improvised explosive packs on the battlefield or leap forward blasting, which made Yang Ling relax a lot.
Just as Yang Ling and others were preparing for the attack, a brother who was lying on the broken wall on guard suddenly sounded the alarm: "The Japanese are coming!"
Yang Ling hurriedly dropped the grenade he was tying, grabbed his gun and jumped into the trench and looked forward. Countless Japanese soldiers wearing helmets were silently stepping on the rubble and swooping over. They were very fast, and they were far away from them in the blink of an eye.
It's only a few hundred meters away.
"Prepare to fight, prepare machine guns!" Looking at the Japanese soldiers who came back, Yang Ling did not panic at all and gave the order calmly.
The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, and the brothers rolled and crawled into the trench, pulled the bolt of the gun with a clatter, put the butt of the gun on their shoulders, and aimed at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing over.
"boom!"
The Japanese's mountain artillery and mortars rang out one after another, and the shells came roaring towards us one after another.
The explosion was deafening, and the flying soil was thrown into the sky along with the mutilated bones. Some unlucky brothers were blown away, but there was no order and no one fired.
"Huzi, take people to the left and prepare to stop him and kill him!" Yang Ling endured the scorching air waves while shouting orders to Wang Huzi.
Wang Huzi responded, stepped over the wounded soldiers huddled on the ground, and took two platoons of brothers into the ruins on the left under the cover of the smoke of the explosion.
The battle started quickly, the machine gun roared like exploding beans, the rifle sound was dull, but the brothers were also in a big scene, shooting steadily one by one, almost biting the flesh, watching many Japanese heads explode.
Plasma splashed everywhere.
However, the Japs obviously did not take Yang Ling's firepower seriously. The dozens of Japs in front were shot and fell. This did not frighten them. Instead, it aroused their ferocity. They tried to defeat Yang Ling and the others in a group charge.
Line of defense.
"Machine gun! Machine gun!"
The machine gunners arranged behind the two wings gritted their teeth and did not let go of the triggers. Bullet casings bounced wildly, and strings of bullets were swept out, intertwining into a dense fire net. The Japanese came after one after another, killing and wounding a large number in the blink of an eye.
Wang Huzi and his men quietly walked around to the left wing. While the Japanese soldiers were rushing forward, a large number of grenades were thrown out. There were constant rumbling explosions. The Japanese soldiers who were charging in the group were blown out of a vacuum area, and the ground was all black.
The red blood, broken flesh and broken bones were horrible to see.
The remaining Japanese soldiers were quite fierce. Seeing that they couldn't rush forward, they turned around and pounced on Wang Huzi and the others. Wang Huzi and the others were afraid of them, so they rushed forward. The two sides were like two high-speed trains in the ruins.
They all collided together, causing blood to flow wildly.
Wang Huzi picked up a big knife from somewhere, and ducked sideways to avoid the thrust of a wolf-like and tiger-like Japs. The blade of the knife was reversed, and he chopped off the Japs' head with one blow. The headless corpse staggered forward two steps.
Then he suddenly fell to the ground.
The brothers are no longer just new recruits on the battlefield. From the beginning, they have been fighting for their lives. Even if they are stabbed by the Japanese, they don't care. Because if you are slow to react for just one second, it will be more than just an injury.
Very likely to lose his life.
The Japanese captain looked at their death squads and the Chinese army fighting together in close combat, with a happy smile on his face. These soldiers have been trained for at least two years, and their stabbing skills have long been proficient. He is confident that they can defeat the Chinese army.
.
But soon his smile was replaced by gloominess. In his eyes, the imperial army, which had always been invincible, was beaten back by the poorly equipped Chinese army, which made him very angry.
Seeing that the Japanese death squads were being suppressed, Yang Ling took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack, preparing to capture Luowang Station in one go and open up the Longhai Line.
