After fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, the small team had been reduced by more than half. Even Leng Tiefeng himself was slightly injured. Bullets don't have eyes. They will never go around you just because you are a commander. Fortunately, Leng Tiefeng
Feng's injury was not serious, he was just scratched by shrapnel on his arm. He was simply bandaged and returned to the position.
Seeing Leng Tiefeng coming up again, Xu Dekun, the captain of the small team, became anxious: "Deputy camp leader, why are you here again?"
The names of Xu Rui and Leng Tiefeng within the brigade are a bit confusing now. Even though the temporary 79th Division Battalion has been reorganized into the Dameishan Brigade, the remnants of the temporary 79th Division are still called by their customary names.
Xu Rui is the camp leader, and Leng Tiefeng is called the deputy camp leader.
Leng Tiefeng snorted: "What, I can't come yet?"
Xu Dekun scratched his head and said: "Deputy camp, it's dangerous here. I beg you, you should stay in the back. Besides, if you are missing any part, Captain Xiao won't be able to skin me when you turn around?"
"Shut up." Leng Tiefeng looked a little confused and changed the subject, "How about it? Can you still stand it?"
"I can withstand it." Xu Dekun expressed his attitude simply, and then continued, "It's just that the Japanese cannons are too destructive, and more than half of the injured brothers fell into the hands of these things."
The small cannon Xu Dekun mentioned was the Japanese grenades.
The Japs' grenades are indeed difficult to deal with. Unlike mortars, which require a base and adjustment of shooting elements, the grenades can be fired directly by a single soldier, and can be as close as two hundred meters for fire support.
, the most frightening thing is that all the Japanese grenadiers are well-trained, and their hit rate is extremely high!
Within 500 meters, it basically means where to hit.
After ten and a half minutes of fighting, the depletion of the small team was basically caused by grenades, but the number of officers and soldiers injured by the Japs' guns was very small. The only good thing is that the more than 30 veterans who lost their combat effectiveness were basically all killed.
They were wounded, and they were basically not fatal. Only two people were killed on the spot.
Although the Japanese cannons are accurate, the lethality of 50-caliber grenades is still limited after all. As long as they are not directly hit by grenades at close range, as long as they are not directly hit by fragments in vital parts such as the throat, common carotid artery, etc., it is generally not fatal. But in the end
Whether he can return to the team after recovering from injury depends on his medical condition.
In general, the threat from the Japanese grenade is still great.
Leng Tiefeng didn't have much to do about this. Several Japanese grenade groups were hiding in the depressions. No matter how good his marksmanship was, he couldn't make the bullets go out in a curve.
While talking, the Japanese infantry launched another attack.
Leng Tiefeng knocked down a Jaap with one shot and said in a deep voice: "When this wave of attacks is repelled, you will retreat."
After hearing this, Xu Dekun perked up for a moment, raised his gun and shouted: "Brothers, cheer up and beat him to death!"

Leng Tiefeng felt unhappy here, but Kameda Ichiro over there was jumping around.
Faced with the obstruction of a mere squad, the Kameda Battalion was unable to advance even an inch after a fierce attack for nearly twenty minutes. This was simply a great humiliation to the Imperial Japanese Army.
Therefore, when the infantry team that launched the second attack was defeated again, Kameda Ichiro finally broke out.
"Baga, Baga Garu!" Kameda Ichiro opened his bow from left to right, slapped the squad leader into a pig head three times, and then turned around and ordered another squad leader, "Fukuda-san, you will be the main attacker this time, I will only give you
If you get a chance, you must break through the China Army's position within five minutes."
"Hai." Captain Futian nodded heavily and walked away with his saber in hand.
Captain Fukuda did not disappoint Kameda Ichiro. He broke through the squadron's defense line in less than five minutes. However, after advancing two hundred meters, he could no longer advance because the squadron had already organized a second attack.
First line of defense, they encountered a stubborn blockage on the second line of defense.
Naturally, Kameda Ichiro would not give up. The half of the team trapped in the Mei family ancestral hall was still waiting for him to save their lives. If he withdrew his troops at this time, that half of the team would be dead.
How could the commander of the Nanjing Security Headquarters spare him if half the team was destroyed?
As a result, Kameda Ichiro ordered the three infantry squadrons of the 1st Infantry Squadron to take turns to go into battle, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks on the squadron's second line of defense.

Two thousand meters away, Xu Rui was watching the battle from the position of the Second Squadron.
Through the telescope, you can clearly see the fierce battle ahead.
Wan Zhongshan also stood next to Xu Rui with a telescope and said: "Captain, the second squadron of the first squadron has been reduced by more than half, but the Japs' offensive continues unabated. The situation is not good. If Lao Leng doesn't
If three squadrons are deployed to strengthen the defense, the second line of defense of the first squadron may also collapse."
Xu Rui said happily: "Isn't it too early to draw a conclusion now?"
While the two were talking, Leng Tiefeng had already made a response. However, he did not fill the second line of defense with the third team that had been recuperating for a long time. Instead, he temporarily added the more than 20 remnants of the small team to the second line of defense.
After defeating the second team and receiving reinforcements from the small team, the originally precarious defense line was immediately stabilized.
"Hey, what is Lao Leng doing?" Wan Zhongshan said in confusion, frowning, "At this time, why is he still holding on to the new force of the third team? Do you have to wait for the Japanese to break through the second line?
Defense line, and let the three squads block the Japanese in the open and unobstructed area? Isn’t this nonsense?”
Xu Rui said cheerfully: "Lao Wan, haven't you noticed that the firepower intensity of the first team and the second team is obviously different?"
Wan Zhongshan let out a light sigh and said suddenly: "Yes, if you hadn't reminded me, captain, I wouldn't have noticed this. The first squadron is the main squadron, and each squad is equipped with two imitation Czech light machine guns. Now there are two
The whole team should have four machine guns together, but why do I only hear one machine gun shouting?"
Xu Rui said cheerfully: "Lao Wan, open your eyes and look carefully."
Wan Zhongshan still didn't understand, but he resisted asking any more questions.
Xu Rui asked Zuanshanbao to call Niu Dazhuang, the captain of the cannon team, and asked: "Dazhuang, have the artillery positions been constructed?"
Niu Dazhuang responded: "Okay."
Xu Rui nodded and said nothing more.
After a while, Xu Rui suddenly shouted: "Look, Lao Wan, look, the third team is making some noise!"
Wan Zhongshan quickly turned the field of view of the telescope and aimed it at the position of the third team. Sure enough, he saw that more than fifty members of the third team had straightened up from the creek where they were hiding, and one by one they were loading bayonets on their rifles. Wan Zhongshan also noticed
, there are actually four Czech imitations in the queue of the third team.
Seeing the third team fixing their bayonets, the hair on Wan Zhongshan's body suddenly stood up.
Bayonets are attached? What's going on? Is it possible that the third team still needs to fight back?
"Lao Wan, learn from the veterans. If you only know how to defend blindly, that is not called defense, that is called stupidity. Only by combining offense with defense and being ready to attack the enemy at any time, that is the real defense!" Xu Rui finished.
, turned around and shouted at Niu Dazhuang, "Dazhuang, the artillery team opened up a counterattack channel for the third team!"
"Yes!" Niu Dazhuang responded loudly, turned around and shouted, "Artillery team, fire!"
An orderly soldier following Niu Dazhuang immediately raised a small red flag and waved it twice.
The next moment, clouds of white smoke immediately rose from the artillery position set up on the sand mound. Then, rows of artillery shells hit the Japanese with a shrill scream.
Rui chose a very tricky time for the bombardment. It happened to be that the former group of Japanese had just been defeated, but the latter group of Japanese had not yet attacked.
As soon as the shells fell, the Japanese who were turning around and retreating exploded.
The artillery team's bombardment came in such a timely manner, how could Leng Tiefeng miss the opportunity?
Leng Tiefeng suddenly stood up, held the bayonet-mounted Sanba Gaigai, and rushed forward. After rushing out, he was ten meters away before his hoarse roar came from the air: "Brothers, charge with me!"
On the attack position, bayonets were fixed, and the more than fifty veterans who were waiting in full formation immediately started roaring. While roaring loudly, they rushed up to the river bank with bayonets in hand, followed Leng Tiefeng, and retreated towards the front.
The Japs launched a thunderous counterattack.
Leng Tiefeng's choice of counterattack timing was also just right.
At this time, the Japanese squad that had previously launched the attack was retreating. The command was already scattered. After being bombarded by the artillery squad, the command became even more chaotic. Without effective command, the Japanese could no longer organize effective operations.
To block the attack, everyone could only retreat in panic.
However, for the Japanese, what was even more fatal was that the retreating Japanese blocked the range of support fire, making it impossible for the Japanese heavy machine gun fire to stop the charge of the three teams. Although several Japanese cannon-throwing teams tried their best
Fired with full force, but the poor firing frequency was not enough to stop the charge of the third team.
Therefore, the third team caught up with the retreating Japanese team without paying much cost.
If it were a hand-to-hand combat under normal circumstances, the fifty-plus veteran soldiers of the third team would not be able to get much advantage when facing the Japanese infantry team. Even if they win in the end, it will definitely be a tragic victory. However, now the Japanese have lost effective command.
, some Japanese soldiers wanted to retreat, some wanted to lie down, and some wanted to fight back. Their ideological confusion seriously affected their combat effectiveness, which was reflected in hand-to-hand combat, which was a one-sided massacre.
However, it's not over yet.
The retreating Japanese team had no time to get out of the way, so they ran headlong into the Japanese team that was about to step forward to take over the attack. The two groups of Japanese were not far apart from each other. As a result, the formation of the Japanese follow-up team was also disrupted, and their shots were blocked.
Then, more than fifty veterans of the third team also rushed towards the retreating Japanese soldiers.
In this situation, you can't expect the Japs to perform well in the follow-up.
