The rain is still falling, not very heavy anymore, just dripping.
The sound of gunfire spread in my ears.
The moist wind brought the full smell of gunpowder smoke.
Sun Fugui stood in front of the fortress, looking at the night around him. Perhaps, he would not be able to sleep tonight! And here, he might sound the horn of counterattack! The first shot of the counterattack!
Fighter planes always fly by in a flash!
Where did the Japanese troops come from? It was just transferred from several other places on the defense line, otherwise the speed would not be so fast. Now that the Japanese troops have been transferred, the defense on other defensive lines will be weakened.
Sun Fugui squinted his eyes, feeling the autumn wind and rain, as if he was excited.
Maybe, he will die.
But he was not afraid!
Since joining the independent division, he has been serving as the commander of a transportation battalion. Later, he was finally transferred to a combat unit, but he was a reserve unit.
But, it was not easy! This time the combat mission fell on these reserve brigades!
He envied his eldest brother, who as an air force, could often soar in the sky.
I also envy Li Wu and Shoutian! They both fought against the Japanese many times and made many meritorious deeds!
He is unwilling to be just a transport battalion reserve!
Tonight, he will let everyone see that even his grandson Fugui has his own world and loyalty! The people from Qingfeng Village are definitely not cowards!
Half an hour later, the sound of gunfire slowly subsided.
At this time, Sun Fugui was fortunate that his camp was built further back and was not directly exposed to the Japanese artillery fire.
"Then, everything is about to begin." He murmured, and then he heard something moving.
…
"Kill me!"
The frontline commanders of the Japanese army waved their sabers and directed their soldiers to move forward!
Ahead is their line of defense!
It’s the line of defense built by the Chinese!
As long as they take down this line of defense! They will win this battle!
The Kwantung Army will not lose face! Only then will they be able to keep their own glory!
"Da da da!"
"Da da da!"
Before the Japanese army could even approach, the independent division's counterattack had already begun.
Although they were surprised by another night attack by the Japanese army, it did not mean that they were unprepared.
After knowing that the Japanese army had arrived for reinforcements, the soldiers of the Independent Division knew that they could not escape from this battle and were indispensable! In this case, let's fight!
…
At this moment, there was sudden movement on both sides of the defense line.
"Pah hook!"
"Pah hook!"
"Da da da!"
Sun Fugui opened his eyes, "Damn, you guys are attacking from three sides! Do you want to force us away?"
"Brigade! Some Japs came down from the mountains on the left and right sides of the defense line! They disrupted the soldiers' deployment!"
"Second and Third Regiments, press on me! Drive the Japanese out! Don't lose even one meter of the battle line!"
"yes!"
Subsequently, the second and third regiments quickly joined the battle.
Sun Fugui continued to make arrangements. For him, it shouldn't be difficult to defend this place, but the difficulty lies in the other tricks of the Japanese.
Night attack, the situation is not good for both sides.
Not to mention the bullet's accuracy, it can almost only be seen when it touches the opponent.
Therefore, the current gunshots are fired indiscriminately.
A way of fending off external enemies.
Sun Fugui did not object.
They have a lot of supplies.
He believed that the Japanese would not have more bullets than they did.
In this regard, Sun Fugui, who has been a logistics officer for several years, is very confident.
The strength of the independent division lies in weapons, logistics, and self-confidence.
However, the Japs are now attacking from three sides, which will more or less panic the soldiers. As long as the Japs don't take back the position all at once, then Sun Fugui will defend the position!
There are no other reports from my subordinates, so that means the fighting situation is relatively stable.
It is impossible for the Japs to regain their position.
…
"Kuromori-kun, the Chinese seem to have been prepared." A Japanese major general touched his chin, "The warriors' first attack should have been blocked."
"Well, in this case, the warriors' attack actually doesn't make much sense." The major general known as Kuromori-kun sighed, "As expected, area A is not so easy for us to capture."
"Do you have any other options? If you can't get it back soon, I'm afraid the Chinese will launch a full-scale attack soon, right?"
"Yes." Hessen nodded, "But in fact, this matter is not completely impossible."
"oh?"
"Let the warriors come back first."
"That's right. Since it's a useless job, it's better to come back as soon as possible."
…
Sun Fugui listened to the gunshots in his ears slowly stop and exhaled. Tonight was over. He almost succeeded in being attacked by the Japanese. But the Japanese actually withdrew like that? It was really impossible.
Ordered to go down and continue the defense, Sun Fugui had no choice but to wait.
…
"Kuromori-kun, what do you mean? Please put yourself in the jar?"
"That's probably what it means! In fact, our main purpose in this battle is to defend the defense line! Now that area A of the defense line has been lost, everyone has seen the price to pay to get it back! So, why are we still there?
Are you going to get it back in that stupid way?"
"Are they just given to the Chinese people?"
"You're right, I'm giving it to them!" Hessen pointed at the map, "Look, everyone! There is almost only one road from area A to the defense lines in other areas! If the Chinese want to attack with a large force, it is impossible to send them to the mountains to attack.
Bar!"
"Indeed, the mechanization level of the Independent Division is, in fact, no lower than ours." A Japanese major general said, "According to the investigation, the Independent Division has also been building roads and developing military industry in recent years. Moreover, most of the soldiers of the Independent Division have to travel.
car!"
"That's right! The independent division definitely wants to fight quickly, so it will definitely make good use of mechanized troops! However, the higher the degree of mechanization of the army, the higher the requirements for road conditions will be!"
"And our current location, for the independent division, is the throat of Area A leading to the defense lines of other areas!"
Everyone nodded.
"Then, why don't we directly destroy the throat and rebuild the defense line behind the throat?"
Everyone pondered, because this idea, directly abandoning the original position, is indeed a very strange idea! Moreover, although rebuilding the defense line will take some time and energy, they now have enough troops, so it is not necessary to do these things
no.
"Then, can we do something here? Let the Independent Division also suffer some losses?" Someone suggested, "I heard that General Kimura and others once suffered losses from the Independent Division's explosive packs during the encirclement and suppression."
"We can't do it now. It's been raining for a few days and the ground is too wet."
"Eh." Everyone sighed, indeed.
"However, we still have to give some gifts to the independent divisions. We cannot let them pass through our current place so smoothly!"
