When the Japanese captain got up the next day, like his subordinates, his eyes were red, he was very tired, and he looked like he had not slept well.
Facing the breakfast prepared by his subordinates, he had no appetite at all.
At this moment, the deputy captain happened to come over. As soon as he entered the tent, he reported with a calm face: "Captain, the battle losses have been calculated!"
"Last night, 68 of our soldiers were killed, 19 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and nearly two infantry squads lost their combat effectiveness!"
"In order to ensure the offensive capabilities of the troops, I took the initiative to add the baggage squad to the combat troops! After integration, in addition to the artillery and heavy machine gun squads, we also have a full squadron of combat troops!"
Seeing the captain frowning and subconsciously about to get angry, the deputy captain quickly continued: "Although the number of troops has been reduced by nearly half, the machine guns and grenade launchers of another squadron have been strengthened to the current squadron, ensuring that every squadron
Three machine guns and three grenade launchers, the firepower has been greatly increased!"
The captain's anger did not subside much. He did not eat breakfast and cursed at the deputy captain: "Bage Yalu, cunning Tubalu, I will definitely find you today and cut you into pieces!"
"
"Order the troops to seize the time to have breakfast, attack and advance towards Luojiawan in half an hour, and capture Luojiawan before the attack! Then look for the main force of Tubal Road, fight them decisively, and take revenge!"
Not only the Japanese captain, but also other officers, including many ordinary Japanese soldiers, were filled with anger at this time.
Because, since the war of aggression against China began, they had never fought such a useless battle on the Chinese battlefield, facing the Chinese army that he looked down upon.
After the captain's order was given, everyone rushed towards Luojiawan with suppressed anger.
But as soon as they left the military camp and advanced less than 500 meters, a burst of piercing gunfire forced them to stop.
"What's going on ahead? Did we encounter the main force of Tubal Road so soon?" the captain frowned and asked the subordinates next to him.
Soon a second lieutenant ran over: "Sir, there is an Eighth Route Army blocking position ahead, with machine guns on the position!"
"It must be the main force of Tubal Road! Captain, we must have captured their main force. Tubal Road is too cunning, and they will definitely not block us head-on unless absolutely necessary!" The deputy captain made the first judgment!
A rare smile appeared on the captain's face, and the left hand holding the command knife began to tremble with excitement.
In his opinion, the entire alliance has not found the main force of Tubal Road and now he has found it. It is absolutely impossible not to be excited.
"Yo Xi! Inform the artillery and heavy machine gun squads to rush to the front immediately, cover the infantry and seize the opponent's position, and then quickly rush to Luojiawan!" The captain who felt good about himself ordered with a fanatical look!
Wang Ping did not participate in the entire night attack last night, especially the long-range artillery attack in the second half of the night. After handing all the attention to the artillery squad leader, Wang Ping took the two machine gun teams back to Luojiawan to rest.
Therefore, when the Japanese army reached the first line of defense outside Luojiawan, Wang Ping also appeared on the battlefield in high spirits.
"Company commander, the Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns are coming up, three mortars and two heavy machine guns!" Zeng Quan, who was lying on the ground, quickly reported.
"The little devils want to capture our position in one attack! However, they obviously underestimated us. They will definitely not be able to do anything to us with just mortars!" Wang Ping replied in a deep voice.
Then he ordered: "Since the Japanese underestimate us, we will teach them a lesson they will never forget!"
"The enemy's offensive firepower is too fierce, and we will definitely not be able to stop them. We fight them in close combat and use grenades and hand grenades to greet them. From a high position, we can smash the grenades next to them, but they cannot smash the grenades into our position!
"
"Also, the two machine gun teams must also be prepared. As soon as we start throwing grenades, you will shoot. Keep an eye on the Japanese grenade and try not to let the grenade fire!"
Soon, three Japanese mortars opened fire.
Because the second platoon on the position were all hiding in the anti-explosion holes made of logs and door panels, the violent explosion did not cause any casualties to the second platoon.
The three mortars fired thirty shells for nearly two minutes before stopping. As soon as the shelling stopped, two heavy machine guns began to fire at the position.
Dense and precise bullets were fired closely against the edge of the trench into the soil behind. The flying bullets instantly made the position filled with dust.
At this time, the second platoon didn't even talk about counterattack, they didn't even have a chance to show their heads from the trench.
At this time, the devils came out.
Nearly sixty Japanese soldiers, holding three crooked handles, three grenade launchers, and rifles, rushed towards the position with murderous intent.
When we were still seventy or eighty meters away from the position, three crooked guns also fired.
He was held in the arms of the machine gunner, and from time to time he fired a few bullets at places he suspected on the position.
As soon as the crooked handle fired, the six grenadier soldiers holding the grenade stopped immediately. They skillfully set up the grenade and pointed it at the position, ready to fire at any time to destroy any fire points that might appear on the position.
These actions did not affect the riflemen in front, and they continued to charge forward with their rifles in hand as if victory was in sight.
In their minds, China's most elite government troops had no choice but to flee in the face of such a powerful offensive, not to mention Tubal Road, which didn't even have guns and few bullets?
Therefore, at this time, they were both confident and arrogant. Especially after they rushed to the position 40 to 50 meters in front of the formation and there was still no movement, some arrogant Japanese even started to yell, as if victory had been stepped on by them.
!
At this moment, Wang Ping, who had been motionless, moved, picked up a grenade, and ordered while pulling the fire.
"Prepare the grenade, remember to delay before throwing it out!"
After the grenade with white smoke stayed in his hand for three seconds, Wang Ping smashed it out and shouted loudly.
"Throw, throw all the grenades on you! Machine gun team, shoot!"
As soon as he finished roaring, an explosion sounded in front of the position, followed by a series of continuous explosions.
The two crooked guns also took advantage of the sudden interruption of Japanese heavy machine gun fire and fired a string of bullets at the grenade positions that had been aimed at them.
The grenadier soldier, who had never thought that he would be targeted, was caught off guard and fell directly to the ground.
Of course, the Japanese heavy machine gunner's reaction speed was not slow either, and he quickly aimed at the two crooked handles to counterattack.
The two machine gunners didn't even have a chance to react. They were punched with several bloody holes and fell to the trench along with their crooked handles!
However, these two machine gunners had completed their mission, and all six grenadier soldiers of the three grenade launchers were killed, making the three grenade launchers useless.
