The Japs' artillery collapsed a corner of the city wall. The next moment, more than 200 Japs poured into Wangqing City like a tide. Seeing this scene, Ding Li, the commander of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company, yelled: "Brothers, fight the Japs!"
"The next moment, Ding Li led more than a hundred soldiers and rushed towards the gap.
When they saw the Chinese defenders rushing up, the Japanese army immediately formed a battle formation. Each group of three people formed a "pin" shape back to back. The Japanese had excellent stabbing skills. A group of three people cooperated with each other and could often deal with ten people.
Several Chinese soldiers, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, this kind of formation caused huge casualties to the Chinese army. The Chinese army often suffered heavy losses during the assassination process. However, this time, they encountered tough opponents.
Lianxin Yituan.
The veterans of the New Anti-Japanese Regiment all came out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They had rich combat experience and were able to deal with this kind of hand-to-hand combat with ease. When he saw the Japanese forming a stabbing formation, Ding Li waved his hand.
, dozens of soldiers holding short guns rushed out. Similar to the Japanese, these dozens of soldiers holding short guns were also in groups of three, standing in a "pin" shape. However, what was different from the Japanese army was that the soldiers in their hands were in groups of three.
But they all carried short guns, including southern pistols and twenty-ring mirror boxes.
"Sasi change!"
"Onboard!"
The Japs launched a charge towards the Chinese army, hoping to use bayonets to defeat the Chinese army in front of them and consolidate the breakthrough.
In the past history, the Japanese relied on their strong fighting ability to achieve brilliant results against the Chinese army. In the impression of the Japanese, as long as they charge, the Chinese army in front will undoubtedly collapse. This phenomenon has been tried repeatedly.
.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, a dozen Japanese soldiers could defeat a Chinese company with their bayonets. A few dozen soldiers could defeat a Chinese battalion in a stabbing attack. If thousands of people charge, then there is no problem in defeating an entire division.
It is precisely because of this situation that the Japanese are keen on bayonet fighting. Bayonet fighting is a contest of fighting will and courage. In this aspect, except for the Northwest Army and the Gui Army, most of the Chinese army is at a disadvantage.
At this time, hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed in. In the Japanese's mind, the Chinese army must immediately collapse, be killed, or escape. However, what they did not expect was that dozens of Chinese soldiers armed with short guns suddenly rushed in.
In the Japanese army's formation.
"Snapped!"
"Pop!"
Clear gunshots rang out, and Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another. In just a moment, more than a hundred people fell. These Chinese soldiers cooperated in a very organized manner. They were in a group of three. Only two people shot, and the other one fired.
The people changed the bullets, thus maintaining the continuity of the firepower and knocking the Japanese to the ground one by one. The Japanese were shot and fell to the ground like melons and vegetables. After a while, a squadron had fallen.
Most of it.
Although the Japanese had a strong will to fight, under such circumstances, they had to retreat hastily. After a battle, the Japanese finally exited the gap after throwing down more than a hundred corpses.
Ding Li immediately organized the soldiers to block the gap with gravel and at the same time blocked the gap with machine guns.
At the seat of Wangqing County Government, Xu Rui knew that if he continued to fight like this, his troops would suffer huge losses. Although his four battalions had more than 3,000 men and were all veterans of hundreds of battles, they lacked heavy weapons and were now scattered.
To attack the four counties, there are not enough troops. The Japanese 48th Division opposite has a complete artillery system. According to rough statistics, there are at least three to four thousand people coming to attack Wangqing County, which is the size of a complete regiment. If this is the case,
If the fight continues, although the main force of the New Regiment can break out of the enemy's encirclement, the mobility advantage of the Japanese army will be fully demonstrated in the wilderness, and even if the New Regiment wins, it will suffer heavy losses.
We cannot afford such a war of attrition.
So we must defeat the enemy in front of us! It seems we must mobilize the cavalry battalion!
The continuous artillery fire outside posed a great threat to the city. Xu Rui immediately ordered Tiegang to lead a cavalry battalion to attack, break out of the weak point of the Japanese encirclement, and kill the Japanese artillery brigade.
"Commander, don't worry, I will definitely kill the little Japanese artillery."
Tiegang took the order and left, immediately summoned the officers and soldiers of the second battalion of cavalry, and took advantage of the darkness to kill them out of the city.
He Shuya ran over at this time and said anxiously: "Captain, the Japs' offensive has become even more fierce. It's almost crazy. The Second Company has also suffered heavy casualties!"
"It's okay." Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "Our reinforcements are coming soon."
"Reinforcements? We still have reinforcements? Soviets?" He Shuya asked in confusion.
"Of course not. How could the Soviet Union send troops?" Xu Rui shook his head and said, "It's Changbai Eighteen Villages."
"Changbai Eighteen Villages? Are they the dozen groups of bandits scattered in Changbai Mountain?" He Shuya suddenly realized. Speaking of Changbai Eighteen Villages, he had a good relationship with Zhensanjiang, Xuelihong, and Spotted Tiger among them.
"Yes, it's them!" A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Rui's mouth.
…
At this time, Huang Shouxin led his platoon of the Second Battalion to the gate of Washi Village in Changbai Mountain. More than a hundred bandits were standing opposite him.
"Captain Huang, do you mean what you say? You really won't break us up after you integrate them?" asked a bald, red-faced man.
"Master Jiang, I, Huang Shouxin, represent the New Anti-Union Regiment, and I represent Captain Xu Rui, and I'm a thorn in my spit!"
"Haha, Captain Huang and Commander Xu are famous figures both at home and abroad. We can trust him. Speaking of which, our brothers from the Changbai Eighteen Villages were also members of the Anti-Japanese Alliance at the beginning, but later General Yang Jingyu
After being beaten to death by the Japanese, we were leaderless and dispersed. You are a new regiment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. By joining you, we have returned to the organization." Jiang Quan, the leader of Washi Village, said angrily.
"You used to be a member of the Anti-Japanese Alliance?" Huang Shouxin was delighted when he heard this.
"Yeah, speaking of it, the brothers in the Changbai Eighteen Villages all fought in the Anti-League, but later the Anti-League was broken up by the Japanese. We had no choice but to go up to the mountains and become bandits and continue to fight against the Japanese until the end!" Jiang Quan said.
"Master Jiang Village, have you contacted the other villages?" Huang Shouxin asked.
"Don't worry, the Eighteen Villages in Changbai are all anti-Japanese, and they have long admired the name of Commander Xu. I have already contacted them, and they will be here soon!"
"Master Jiang, we are here!"
In the distance, a loud voice came. Huang Shouxin looked towards where the voice came from, but it was Zhen Sanjiang, Xue Lihong and a large group of bandits walking over from a distance. There were thousands of them. Huang Shouxin came
I couldn't help but be overjoyed to see Xue Lihong dressed in red, like a red rose in the snow, looking particularly enchanting and charming.
"Why didn't He Shuya come?" Xue Lihong asked.
"Battle Commander He is attacking Wangqing County, so he didn't come, but I can represent the New Regiment." Huang Shouxin said.
"Giggle...it turns out to be Camp Commander Huang, whose name I have admired for a long time." Xue Lihong smiled and hugged Huang Shouxin, but there was a hint of disappointment in her expression.
"Captain Huang, we know the New Anti-League Regiment. You are the real team to fight the Japanese. All the heads of our Changbai Eighteenth Village have gathered together and unanimously agreed to accept the reorganization of the New Anti-League Regiment!" Zhen Sanjiang said.
.
"Yes, many of us were originally members of the Anti-League. Now that we join the Anti-League, we are considered to have returned to the organization." The bandits said one after another.
Huang Shouxin was very happy. The total number of bandits in the Changbai Eighteen Villages was more than 3,000. Now that they have all joined the New Anti-League Regiment, the strength of the New Anti-League Regiment will definitely increase greatly, and they will be able to deal with the little devils a little better.
grasp.
Just as he was thinking about it, a soldier hurried over from a distance.
"Batalion Commander, it's bad!" the soldier shouted as he ran.
"What's so urgent?" Huang Shouxin asked.
"We just received a call from the regiment. The 48th Division of the Little Devils has returned for reinforcements and is attacking Hunchun, Tumen, Yanji, and Wangqing at the same time. The regiment leader asked you to quickly reinforce Wangqing after completing the mission."
"Got it." Huang Shouxin nodded. He knew that the fighting on the front line must be very fierce, otherwise Xu Rui would not be able to call him. He must take these people back as soon as possible for reinforcements.
"Captain Huang, give the order and we will all obey you!" Zhen Sanjiang said.
"Yes, Camp Commander Huang, give the order and we will all obey you!" Jiang Quan, Xue Lihong and other village leaders expressed their opinions one after another.
"Okay, then we will kill Wang Qing and meet Commander Xu!" Huang Shouxin said.
…
With the return of reinforcements from the 48th Japanese Division, Tumen's New 4th Battalion, Yanji's New 3rd Battalion, Hunchun's New 2nd Battalion and Wangqing's New 1st Battalion were all attacked by reinforcements from the 48th Japanese Division.
.
Lin Wei's New 4th Battalion was attacking Tumen County, and suddenly saw reinforcements from the 48th Japanese Division behind them. Lin Wei thought that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived so quickly, and immediately refused to fight, and immediately retreated to Wangqing as planned.
Hunchun's New Second Battalion, led by company commanders Yang Banan and Sun Changhe, continued to attack Hunchun. However, because Hunchun was too close to Hunchun Ridge, and the Japanese had another brigade stationed there, so after fighting all night, the New Second Battalion failed.
There was no progress at all. Seeing the Japanese reinforcements arriving, Yang Banan and Sun Changhe withdrew the fourth and fifth companies from the battle and also moved towards Wang Qing.
The New Second Battalion and the New Fourth Battalion were transferred smoothly, but the Gaochu Division of the New Third Battalion, which was ordered to attack Yanji, ran into trouble.
Speaking of which, most of the New Third Battalion of the Gaochu Department are veterans of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, and they are the strongest in terms of combat effectiveness. However, the situation in Yanji they attacked is different from other areas. This is because Yanji
Unlike other areas where the residents are mainly Han, the majority here are Koreans. The Japanese have occupied North Korea for decades and have incorporated a large number of Koreans. They have also absorbed many Koreans from the residents of Yanji.
, formed a Korean brigade. The combat effectiveness of this Korean brigade is very strong, and the fighting will of its personnel is not inferior to that of the Japanese.
When Gao Chu saw reinforcements from the 48th Division arriving, he wanted to retreat, but he was tightly entangled by the North Korean brigade and could not get rid of him in his eagerness.
