Although Wang Husheng had already led the civilian team and militia to build a large number of fortifications near Badou Town, and also laid a large number of mines in the fields on both sides of the road, after all, Badou Town is a plain terrain, not a mountainous area
, On the plain terrain, the enemy's attack power is still very powerful!
Especially a permanent division with a fine tradition like the Kumamoto Division has even more powerful attack power!
At the beginning, because the Japanese did not know the existence of the anti-tank trench, they suffered a small loss. However, after the Japanese discovered the anti-tank trench, it was not difficult to crack it.
The Japanese quickly dispatched at least one squadron of engineers and hurriedly came up carrying engineer pickaxes.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Third Guard Company would not watch helplessly as the Japanese engineers filled up the anti-tank trenches. Therefore, all kinds of light and heavy machine guns and rifles opened fire in an instant. However, the rapid fire attack only lasted less than two minutes. The Japanese's
Mortars, grenade launchers and other counter-fire came overwhelmingly.
There are also a dozen 57mm main guns and 37mm main guns guiding the tanks, which pose a fatal threat to the machine gun firepower of the third guard company.
To put it bluntly, the law of war is actually the use of firepower. Tanks are known as the kings of land warfare, and it is by no means a fluke!
After just a few volleys of fire from the dozen or so tanks of the Japs, all the light and heavy machine guns of the Third Guard Company were silenced. Two Maxim heavy machine guns and six crooked light machine guns were all beaten into scrap. Eighteen
Seventeen machine gunners were also killed in the battle, and the remaining machine gunner was blinded by shrapnel and became completely disabled.
Xue Laoyao, the commander of the third company of the guards, his eyes suddenly turned red and his temper got angry. At that time, he was about to lead the officers and soldiers of the third company to launch a counterattack regardless of the situation and risk his life against the Japanese. Fortunately, Qiu Feng was here and he stopped it quickly! Otherwise, what if
Due to Young Xue's temperament, I'm afraid the entire Third Company of Guards will have to stay here this afternoon.
"Machine gun, my heavy machine gun, my heavy machine gun!" Young Xue was still wailing.
"Okay, stop howling, it's just two heavy machine guns." Qiu Feng cursed, "I'll replenish it for you later!"
"Really? Battalion Commander, please don't cheat." Xue Laoyao immediately stopped howling and said, "You must keep your word."
"Look at your potential." Qiu Feng said angrily, "But you have to give me a good fight three times in a row. No matter what, you must hold off the Japanese for at least an hour!"
Qiu Feng has realized that he was a little careless this time.
Because it is a plain terrain, it is impossible to build flanking firepower, and time is tight, so there is no way to build permanent fortifications. Therefore, it is difficult for their machine gun firepower to escape the fixed-point support firepower of Japanese tanks, mortars, grenade launchers and other infantry support firepower.
Cleared, so in the next battle their firepower will be at an absolute disadvantage, and the situation will be very passive.
But even so, Qiu Feng is not very worried, because he has already calculated that the guard camp has three companies plus a special agent platoon, and three infantry companies spread out in front and back. Even if each company can only block the Japanese for an hour, three
The company only lasted three hours, and then gathering the remaining soldiers of the three companies and adding the special agent platoon, they could not sustain it for another hour.
By this calculation, it was already four hours, and the main force of the military division should have arrived by now.
As long as the main force of the military division arrives, the mission of their guard camp will be successfully completed. What's more, before the main force of the military division arrives, the Langya Team will arrive first. As soon as the Langya Team arrives, the pressure on their guard camp will be extremely high.
The weight is greatly reduced, so it’s no problem to hold on until dark.
Qiu Feng exchanged a few words with Mr. Xue and then went to the Second Company position.
The heavy loss of the third guard company just now has sounded the alarm to Qiu Feng. Therefore, the defensive deployment of the second company, the first company and the special agent platoon must be adjusted. In particular, the heavy machine gun firepower point must be rebuilt, at least not in the front, otherwise it will easily be
Knocked out by Japanese tanks and various infantry support firepower.
However, Qiu Feng stayed at the second company position for less than a quarter of an hour when Xue Lao Yao led the remaining soldiers of the third company to collapse from the first line of defense. After receiving the report, Qiu Feng hurriedly came out of the second company headquarters and saw
When we arrived at Young Xue, whose face was covered with blood, we looked behind him. Half an hour ago, the Third Company of Guards, which had been fully loaded, now had less than 50 remnant soldiers left, and all of them were carrying
Wounded, soaked in blood.
"Batalion Commander, please shoot me, I'm useless." Xue Laoyao burst into tears as soon as he saw the autumn wind.
Looking at Xue Lao Yao who was squatting in front of him and crying, Qiu Feng was also a little confused. He didn't expect that the third company of guards was defeated by the Japanese so quickly. A company with all its members was defeated in less than a quarter of an hour.
The Japanese have been defeated. According to this method of attack, their guard camp can only hold on for one hour. Not to mention the main force of the military division, even the Wolf Fang cannot arrive! How can we continue to fight this battle? We can't hold it anymore.
!
When Qiu Feng was in a daze, there was a sudden bang in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, an artillery shell landed on the edge of the trench beside Qiu Feng, and then the awning splashed sand and gravel all over the sky.
When Qiu Feng turned around and looked back, he once again saw the dozen tanks he had just seen on the position of the Third Guard Company. These dozen tanks guided at least one group of Japanese soldiers past the defense line of the Third Guard Company, and again
He rushed towards the defense line of the Second Guard Company with great momentum. Looking at this posture, the little devil was really ready to break through the defense line of their guard battalion in one go!
"Quickly enter the position, prepare to fight, prepare to fight!" Qiu Feng woke up with a start, brandished his pistol and shouted loudly, "Young man, your third company will be temporarily integrated into the second company and join the battle together!"
"Yes!" Xue Laoyao agreed, turned around and roared at the dozens of remnant soldiers behind him, "Brothers, our third company failed to hold the position, and we are in great disgrace. This time, we must help the second company to hold the position no matter what.
If the Japanese can easily break through even the Second Company's position, we will really have no shame in seeing anyone again, can you hear me?"
"I heard you!" Dozens of remaining soldiers responded loudly and hurriedly entered the position.
Soon after the battle started, Qiu Feng knew why the Third Guard Company had lost its position so quickly.
The little Japs were really anxious this time, and they really launched a fierce attack at any cost. The guard camp was in a minefield. If engineers were sent to clear mines, it would not only be time-consuming, but they would also be sniped by the guard battalions. So the Japs directly attacked
Send out groups of suicide squads one after another to perform simple and crude human rolling thunder!
Seeing the groups of Japs lying on the ground, rolling forward desperately, Qiu Feng, the officers and soldiers of the Second Guard Company, and the remaining soldiers of the Third Guard Company were all dumbfounded. They had seen these fierce little Japs from all ages, but they
This was the first time I saw such a fierce Japs. It was not just one or two Japs, but a group of Japs rolling around with human bodies!
The Kumamoto Division of Dog Day is indeed one of the two permanent divisions that are most capable of fighting in Little Japan!
The officers and soldiers of the Second Guard Company also blocked the attack, but firstly, the Japanese death squads were lying on the ground, and the bullet surface was small. Secondly, these death squads were protected by tanks. The machine gun firepower of the Second Guard Company was suppressed, so basically, only
I can watch the Japanese death squads rolling thunder over the human body.
The Japanese death squads rolled forward one after another, and the mines were detonated in rows.
In less than two minutes, the minefield in front of the second company's defensive position had been cleared.
Then the Japanese tanks began to come up, and this time the Japanese learned well. They no longer lined up a dozen tanks to advance side by side like before. Instead, they sent a tank forward first, marching in front, and then quickly
The camouflage covering the anti-tank trench was soon crushed, and the tanks on the way couldn't hold back and fell headlong into the anti-tank trench.
However, the other eleven tanks following behind stopped in time.
Then, the Japanese dispatched engineering troops and began to fill in the anti-tank trenches and conduct raids.
Naturally, the officers and soldiers of the Second Company would not watch helplessly as the Japanese engineers filled up the anti-tank trenches and tried their best to block the attack. They even braved direct fire from the Japanese tanks' main guns to block the attack tenaciously. However, the Japanese engineers also risked their lives. One team died, and another one immediately appeared.
The team came up, one squadron was dead, and a second engineer squadron came up immediately!
The Japanese engineers completely ignored casualties and only focused on filling anti-tank trenches.
In less than five minutes, the anti-tank trench in front of the Second Company's position was filled in.
Then, the tank that had fallen into the anti-tank ditch got up again, and then guided the other eleven tanks, and once again rolled over toward the position of the second guard company, with an infantryman following behind the twelve tanks.
A large group, at least more than 700 heavily armed Japanese infantrymen.
At this time, there was no second anti-tank trench in front of the Second Guard Company's position. They had to face the powerful penetration capabilities of the Japanese tanks. As a last resort, the Second Guard Company sent out blasters again and again to try to blow up the Japanese tanks.
, However, it is very unfortunate that the Japanese tank did not fight alone, but was protected by an entire infantry brigade. The blasters sent by the second guard company had been killed by the Japanese infantry who followed up before they could get close to the tank.
It is daytime after all, and it is an open plain terrain. Unlike the Third Regiment in Pu County, there are broken walls and ruins of city walls as cover. Therefore, the dozen or so blasters sent out were all killed by the Japanese without exception.
After being beaten to death, seeing that nothing could be done, Qiu Feng could only order a retreat!
"Retreat, retreat quickly, retreat to the town!" Qiu Feng quickly gave the order.
It seems that we can no longer fight the Japanese in the open fields outside the town, and we must immediately withdraw into the town. Although there is only a ruin in Badou Town, these ruins can still provide cover. However, the retreat of the guard camp,
Even if the Japanese's life channel is opened, the main force of the Kumamoto Division can pass through Badou Town smoothly.
Qiu Feng was also gambling, betting that the Japs would continue to attack until they were completely eliminated.
Because if they pass through without completely eliminating their guard camp, they will inevitably be attacked. The guard camp is guarding the ruins of Badou Town and can still use machine gun fire to block the road. If the Kumamoto Division passes by force, it will definitely suffer
It was a huge loss, so Qiu Feng dared to bet that the Japs would continue to attack.
