The chief of staff who hurried over immediately replied: "General, I will immediately order the Third Infantry Brigade and the Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Army to attack and escort four mortar squadrons to launch a counterattack against the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions!"
Major General Yoshino frowned and reminded: "Tuba Road must be repeating its old tricks and wants to eat another two thousand of us!"
"The escort troops should be dispersed as much as possible under the cover of armored vehicles to not give Tubal Road a chance to ambush us."
"Even if we encounter the main force of the Eighth Route Army, only a small number of troops will be fatally attacked. The main escort force will have the opportunity to respond quickly, counterattack the ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army, hold them back, and eliminate them!"
"Hi, I'll make arrangements right away!" the chief of staff replied confidently.
This time, the more than 2,000-day puppet army did not march in a long snake formation behind the armored body. Instead, they directly formed a skirmish line with a front width of more than 200 meters, one layer after another. Three vehicles
The armored vehicles are lined up in a row, with arcs spaced fifty meters apart, and are scattered in the middle of the skirmish line formed by the infantry. Once the infantry is attacked, these armored vehicles are semi-permanent firepower points, providing fire support to the infantry!
In the woods nearly one kilometer away from the Japanese military station, Commander Zhou was guarding here with a battalion.
Although there is only one infantry battalion on hand, the firepower is not weak at all.
The two regiments, six heavy machine gun platoons, and eighteen heavy machine guns all held in their own hands.
"Captain, the Japs have indeed come over. Just as Commander Wang inferred, they are still more than 2,000 puppet troops. But the formation is very scattered, and they rushed here directly into a battle formation!" Standing next to Commander Zhou
The battalion commander shouted in shock and anticipation
"You know the enemy first, Commander Wang is worthy of being a person valued by the commander, and he indeed has some tricks!" Commander Zhou sighed again.
Then he began to give orders: "If the Japanese approach us within 100 meters, shoot them. Use all firepower. Come out as a regiment!"
"Commander, just look at it! Eighteen heavy machine guns and more than ten light machine guns. If I can't kill more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops in an instant, my job as battalion commander will be in vain!" A battalion commander replied confidently.
Soon, the battle started.
The first battalion commander did not brag. Even though the Japanese and puppet troops formed a skirmish line and the team was very scattered, the unexpected firepower still killed more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops in the first time.
"Baga, the enemy is attacking. As expected, there is an Eighth Route Army ambush position here. The troops immediately counterattacked, and the armored vehicles provided fire cover. The infantry behind them rushed up immediately, suppressing the Eighth Route Army's firepower and holding them back!" The Japanese leader responded immediately.
.
Bullets from both sides were coming back and forth. Although the firepower of the first battalion was very fierce, the Japanese had three invulnerable armored tanks after all.
Six heavy machine guns fired from a high position to suppress the attack. Coupled with the heavy machine guns that caught up one after another, the firepower of the battalion was slowly suppressed.
The Japanese captain immediately seized the opportunity and ordered: "The first squadron will make a detour on the left wing, and the second squadron will make a detour on the right wing. Each will lead a battalion of the Imperial Army and attack immediately. I want to kill the Eighth Route Army in front of us!"
"The artillery will fire immediately to cover the infantry's roundabout attack!"
Because many of the Japanese and puppet troops were holding torches, and the huge searchlights of the three armored vehicles, every move of the Japanese a hundred meters away did not escape Commander Zhou's eyes.
With a frown, he ordered the battalion commander who was fighting fiercely: "The troops are retreating while fighting. The Japanese artillery is about to fire. They want to eat us!"
Major General Yoshino was very happy when the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed.
Judging from the firepower currently exposed by these Eighth Route Army, there is no doubt that they are the Eighth Route Army that just ambushed us.
Not only that, the troops he sent out successfully integrated with them, stuck with them, and tended to surround them.
Major General Yoshino, who was eager for revenge, ordered without thinking: "The third squadron of the armored squadron will attack, the fourth infantry battalion, and the fifth regiment of the Imperial Association Army will go out immediately. Cooperate with our people to kill the Tuba Road ambush force first, and then find them."
Their heavy mortar units, kill them!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
"General, the firepower of Tubal Road has weakened. They seem to be retreating!" Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, a staff officer next to him shouted.
"We can't let them run away, otherwise it will be very difficult to eliminate them!" Major General Yoshino's smile disappeared immediately, and he frowned and shouted.
"Contact the Third Infantry Brigade, attack immediately, catch up with them, don't let them run away again!"
"The Fourth Infantry Brigade, attack immediately to reinforce the Third Infantry Brigade!"
When more and more Japanese and puppet troops left the station and chased towards the first battalion, the eyes of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the station were all attracted to the battlefield.
What the Japanese did not notice was that although the Eighth Route Army's heavy mortar company's shelling continued, the target of the bombardment had unknowingly moved from the heavy baggage truck parked in the middle of the camp to the Japanese and puppet defense lines surrounding the camp.
In the violent explosions, Japanese and puppet troops were killed one after another.
In addition, the three armored vehicles in this direction have just been transferred away, and there are not many Japanese and puppet troops left in the entire defense line.
In a bush less than 300 meters away from the station, nearly two thousand troops were lurking here under Wang Ping's personal command, motionless.
At this moment, Wang Ping said, "Inform the troops to prepare for the attack!"
"After we start the attack, the heavy artillery units behind will extend their artillery fire and divide the Japanese and puppet army station into two, giving us at least twenty minutes!"
"We must end the battle within twenty minutes and evacuate the station!"
"All the machine gunners in the army are the leading ones. People can be sacrificed, but the machine guns cannot cease fire. If the machine gunners in the front are sacrificed, the ones behind will take over. Use the strongest firepower to attack the Japanese camp!"
"The second echelon of riflemen of the security regiment attacks! Prepare grenades. As soon as you get close to the Japanese and puppet army station, throw all the grenades at them. Blow up the Japanese soldiers at once, and then rush into the Japanese army station!"
"The remaining third echelon of riflemen from the Guard Regiment attacked. After the first and second echelons opened the breach, they immediately rushed into the station, divided and surrounded the surviving Japanese and puppet troops in the northeast corner of the station, quickly ended the battle, and withdrew from the battlefield!"
After another two minutes, the puppet troops on the edge of the station had been blown up and collapsed. When they began to flee for their lives inside the station, Wang Ping gave a decisive order.
"Corpser, blow the charge horn!"
"All troops, below me, charge forward and kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the northeast corner of the station!"
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..." As soon as he finished speaking, a loud charge horn sounded on the battlefield.
More than fifty machine gunners suddenly emerged from the bushes, each holding a light machine gun in their arms, and opened fire on the Japanese and puppet army station!
