At one o'clock in the morning, machine gun fire sounded around the station on time.
Although Major Miyamoto woke up, he was still lying on the British bed to rest. He believed that his men had enough experience and energy to defeat the Eighth Route Army's attack and end the battle as soon as possible.
After the sound of gunfire and explosions continued intermittently for half an hour, a small army of reinforcements from the squadron was dispatched.
More than two hundred Japanese soldiers, armed with guns and light machine guns, rushed out of the camp like hungry wolves.
Japs armed with heavy machine guns and mortars followed closely behind and rushed out together.
This time, the new regiment, battalion and company that attacked them did not retreat directly, but ran ahead of them and retreated while fighting.
The Japanese, who had been counterattacking for several days without achieving any results, now saw hope of annihilating the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops.
"The first squadron will encircle them with the left wing, and the second squadron will encircle them with the right wing. The others will pursue me head-on and kill them!" the squadron leader ordered with an arrogant look on his face.
"But our superiors have orders, we can't chase them too far!" the adjutant reminded.
The squadron leader's eyes widened and he ordered: "The Eighth Route Army is in front of us. We can chase them for at most one kilometer and surround them. Nothing will happen. Execute the order immediately!"
"Yes...sir..." Several team captains led their troops and rushed towards the dark battlefield.
On a mountain ridge one kilometer away, a smile slowly appeared on Xiong Changhe's serious face.
Without waiting for the subordinates next to him to remind him, he ordered: "First company, heavy machine gun company, kill the little Japs chasing behind me!"
"The second company is responsible for a small Japanese infantry team on the left wing... The third company is responsible for a Japanese infantry team on the right wing..."
"The guard company, the recruit company, the artillery company, insert them between the Japanese counterattack troops and their base, and separate them. I want to wipe out all the little Japanese who come out. I can't let anyone run back. If any Japanese come out for reinforcements,
Kill me directly!"
The company within the sight of the Japanese squadron leader continued to retreat. However, a company had become a platoon.
The remaining two platoons and a platoon from the heavy machine gun company were lurking in the bushes nearby.
The dark night, dense and messy gunfire and explosions hid their figures well.
Soon, a small group of Japanese infantry passed in front of them.
Then there are the artillerymen and heavy machine gunners who carry heavy machine guns and mortars and provide fire support to the attacking troops at any time.
"beat……"
"Da da da……"
A roared order rang out around the Japanese, and seven or eight tongues of flame suddenly appeared in the bushes more than thirty meters away, and then the dull sound of light and heavy machine gun fire reached their ears.
The Japanese artillerymen and heavy machine gunners who were caught off guard were killed and wounded more than thirty people on the spot.
Heavy machine guns, mortar parts, and ammunition boxes carried on the shoulders were all scattered on the ground.
"Machine gun cover, others rush over and end the battle quickly!" The company commander decisively ordered Dan, holding a pistol, to be the first to rush out.
A small group of Japs infantry is in front. We must kill these artillerymen and heavy machine gunners before they return to support. Otherwise, once the Japs who have just passed by have these heavy machine guns and mortars, it will be very difficult to kill them.
difficulty!
The Japanese squadron leader's reaction speed was also very fast.
As soon as he heard the intensive gunshots rang out behind him, he immediately ordered the troops to stop.
"The heavy machine gun team and artillery team were attacked...Go back immediately and rescue them!"
"Da da da……"
As soon as he turned around, the sound of light machine gun fire was heard behind him.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army we were chasing has turned back and fought back. We must leave someone behind to stop them!"
"Leave one unit to hold on, while the others follow me to rescue the heavy machine gun squad and artillery squad, and then join forces to kill the Eighth Route Army attacking us!"
Two platoons of more than seventy people took care of the artillery and heavy machine gunners who had almost no combat effectiveness. The entire battle was completely one-sided.
When more than sixty Japanese infantrymen came over, there were not many Japanese left on the battlefield.
The squadron leader was not aware of this situation and still led his men towards the battlefield.
"Da da da……"
The three heavy machine guns placed next to the battlefield fired first, and the bullets fired from the flanks instantly killed the four or five Japanese infantrymen rushing at the front.
"Second Platoon, set up all the four heavy machine guns brought out by the Japs for me to block the Japanese infantry. The others will follow me and be ready to counterattack at any time and kill them!"
The artillery and heavy machine gun teams were not rescued, but they were fired upon by three heavy machine guns when they came up. The squadron leader's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had a very bad premonition.
"Da da da……"
At this time, two strings of gunshots rang out not far away, becoming more and more intensive.
The squadron leader suddenly reacted: "Bageya Road, we have been fooled. The two infantry squads must have been attacked by the Eighth Route Army in a roundabout way!"
"Send a signal immediately and ask for help from the station!"
"Others follow me and continue to rush forward. We must get back the heavy machine guns and mortars, otherwise we won't even have the capital to hold on to the reinforcements."
"Kill me..."
Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the battlefield like crazy. Their skilled tactical movements allowed them to avoid the bullets fired from the side and the front. As long as they rushed forward another thirty meters, they could strangle with the Eighth Route Army and use their own skills.
Kill them with assassination and take back all the heavy weapons.
"Da da da……"
It seemed that when they had seen victory and were recruiting them again, an accident happened.
Directly ahead, eight tongues of flame suddenly appeared, four tongues of heavy machine gun flames, and four tongues of light machine gun flames.
The Japs can evade side fire interception, but they cannot avoid frontal fire interception.
"It's over..." The squadron leader's face turned pale and he shouted in despair.
Inside the station, Major Miyamoto was still lying on the British bed, closing his eyes and resting, waiting for news of victory from the counterattack troops.
The adjutant stumbled into the tent, and before Miyamoto could speak, he panted and reported: "Sir, something happened!"
"The counterattack troops were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army outside the station and are in urgent need of reinforcements. They are less than 500 meters away from us!"
"Then why are you still stunned!" Major Miyamoto finally couldn't sit still anymore and sat up from the bed after a while.
"Deploy a squadron, go out immediately, rescue the counterattack troops, and go now!"
After the order was given, Major Miyamoto lost his sleepiness and paced back and forth in the tent, very anxious.
"Da da da……"
The first thing that reached Miyamoto's ears was a very dense burst of gunfire, followed by a violent explosion.
"Sir, there are Eighth Route Army blocking troops outside the station, and they are also equipped with mortars!" the adjutant reported as he rushed in with panic.
