"Bah bang bang..." A rapid knocking sound suddenly sounded at the door.
Major General Matsumoto was very tired, but the quality of the special forces that had been integrated into his bones still allowed him to react quickly. He sat up from the bed, put on his military uniform and opened the door.
The chief of staff stood at the door and hurriedly reported as soon as he saw him.
"General, there's an urgent call from Qinggang Lieutenant Commander!"
"More than half an hour ago, the new regiment suddenly launched an attack on his station. The troops suffered heavy losses and are in urgent need of reinforcements!"
"He asked us to contact the aviation force immediately and go there for reinforcements at dawn to reduce troop casualties as much as possible!"
Matsumoto's face showed an expression of disbelief: "Impossible? There are not many people in the remnants of the new regiment. How dare they attack our first brigade? A sneak attack is almost enough!"
"The first brigade is the elite of our brigade. Even if it is attacked, it can easily repel the enemy. There must be no problem with at least self-protection. How can it be possible to suffer heavy losses!"
"Chief of Staff, are you mistaken?"
The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "General, this is indeed an urgent message sent by Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang. It is correct! There are not many people left in the remnants of the New Regiment, but we underestimated their equipment. The New Regiment that attacked the first brigade is fully equipped.
We have a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squadron, and nearly twenty mortars!"
"The casualties of the First Battalion were all caused by these artillery pieces!"
"They do not have complete house fortifications and are trapped on high ground. They can only be beaten passively under the new group of fierce artillery fire!"
Matsumoto reacted suddenly, and his face turned pale: "It's over! I ignored this matter. The new regiment captured all the heavy equipment and ammunition of our third brigade, Bagya Road!"
"Go to the war room immediately and contact Lieutenant Colonel Qinggang now and ask him to report the specific situation. The more detailed the better!"
More than two hundred Japanese soldiers quickly gathered and before they could reach the guard position, artillery shells were fired at them.
"Bagheya Road is an extension of artillery fire. The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack. Rush over and stop them!" the leader of the Japanese squadron shouted with a frown.
The rate of fire of the mortar was very fast. Within a few seconds after one shell hit, the second shell flew over.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of artillery shells were dropped among the Japanese reinforcements.
At least one small group of Japanese soldiers fell under the shelling.
Rong Jun's order was to let the troops use the cover of artillery fire to reach fifty meters in front of the Japanese warning position. However, Jin Kai, the commander of the 10th Company, did not limit it to this.
As an old Northwest Army officer, he had fought against Japanese soldiers on many frontal battlefields and was very familiar with the performance of various weapons.
In his opinion, a safe distance of fifty meters is a bit too much.
Therefore, he took ten companies with more than a hundred people and did not stop until they reached more than 20 meters in front of the formation.
Although two artillery shells exploded nearby during the lurking process, accidentally injuring several of his soldiers and possibly shortening the attack distance by more than 20 meters, in his opinion, this loss was definitely worth it.
As soon as the artillery fire began to extend, three flares also rose behind them, bursting into three brilliant flames above their heads.
Jin Kai got up directly from the ground, hugged the machine gun and rushed forward.
"Comrades, rush with me and occupy the Japanese security positions."
In less than ten seconds, Jin Kai rushed to the warning position full of bomb craters.
In two minutes, a total of twelve artillery pieces fired more than a hundred shells directly at this place.
There were dozens of Japanese soldiers guarding here, and there were no trenches to protect them. Even if they were not killed on the spot, they would still be dying.
"Immediately give the Japs on the position another shot. Regardless of whether they are dead or not, give them all a shot. They are too desperate, and they might detonate grenades and die with us!" Jin Kai ordered as soon as he rushed to the position.
"Ah ah ah..." Suddenly, a burst of screams sounded around him.
Jin Kai was stunned for a moment and saw the Japanese rushing out from the gunfire not far away.
More and more riflemen were holding rifles with fixed bayonets, charging and shooting at the same time.
The machine gunner held the machine gun in his arms like he did, and held fire while charging.
In the blink of an eye, bullets flew over and killed and wounded several of his subordinates.
"No, the Japanese reinforcements are coming! Get down and defend on the spot! The machine gunners will fire immediately to stop them!" Jin Kai reacted quickly,
The movements of his hands did not stop, and he lay down in a bomb crater next to him, pointed the machine gun above the crater, and opened fire on the Japanese.
"Da da da..." In the piercing sound of gunfire, a Japanese machine gunner and two riflemen next to him were hit by himself and fell to the ground.
"Click, click, click..." As more and more machine guns joined the battle, the enemy's casualties increased rapidly.
"The warning position has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army. Stop advancing, set up defenses on the spot, and launch a counterattack immediately!" In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of his subordinates were dead. The leader of the squadron was heartbroken and responded immediately.
"Where's the heavy machine gun? Set it up immediately to suppress the Eighth Route Army's firepower. They don't have many people. As long as we suppress their machine gun firepower, we have a chance to regain the security position!"
The First Brigade is indeed the elite of the Japanese garrison brigade, and its reaction speed is very fast.
It only took a few seconds for more than twenty Japanese soldiers to carry four heavy machine guns over and place one on the ground. The main and deputy machine gunners were all in place.
"Click, click, click..." In less than ten seconds, all four heavy machine guns fired.
Kincaid suddenly retracted his head into the crater, dodging a string of heavy machine gun bullets fired at him.
The machine gunner next to him was not so lucky. Several machine gunners were hit, their machine guns misfired, and they fell to the side.
"We also need heavy machine guns, why haven't the other two companies rushed over yet~" Jin Kai shouted anxiously.
Including these four heavy machine guns, the number of light and heavy machine guns equipped by the enemy on the opposite side has exceeded fifteen.
As for his own tenth company, even though it had been strengthened with many light machine guns before the war, it only had six, which was no match for the Japanese.
"Company commander, the Japanese counterattack firepower is too strong, we can't raise our head to fight back!" The instructor next to him was also very anxious.
"I know, order the soldiers to prepare grenades and hand grenades. When the Japanese approach, we will use grenades and grenades to greet them!" Jin Kai made a decisive decision.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and continued to order: "Also, everyone, bayonets on, prepare to fight the Japs. Just relying on grenades will definitely not be able to stop them. If the follow-up troops don't come over, a hand-to-hand fight will definitely be inevitable.
!”
Just as the instructor was about to give the order, Jin Kai's familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Lao Jin, are you talking bad about me again? The battalion commander asked us to touch 50 meters in front of the formation, but you idiot directly touched more than 20 meters in front of the formation. It's really cruel. No accident,
The first achievement of our fourth battalion must be yours!"
"Captain Zhang!" Not only was he not angry when he came in, but he looked excited and exclaimed with a long sigh of relief.
"You're finally here. We can't stand it any longer, and we have to fight the Japanese with bayonets."
Company Commander Zhang's face quickly became serious. He frowned and ordered: "Comrades, find your own positions and prepare to fight!"
