Hong Linfeng became even more anxious: "The Japs don't know that if our main force is not around, the instructor will be in more danger!"
"If you treat a group of new recruits as the main force of an independent company, the Japanese will definitely do their best, and the instructor will be under greater pressure!"
"This is indeed a big problem!" Li Hao's face became even more ugly.
Then he changed the topic and continued: "However, for us, this is also an opportunity!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, the main force of the Independent Company is within their encirclement. If we suddenly appear behind them and launch an attack from behind, what will happen?"
"I can definitely catch the Japanese off guard!" Hong Linfeng shouted with a look of sudden realization.
"I understand, company commander, what you mean is that the instructor of emergency march reinforcements will rush to the battlefield and launch an attack on the Japs from behind!"
Li Hao nodded and began to give orders.
"That's right... the reconnaissance platoon will set off now, march back to the station, find the kid who broke into our station, and figure out the situation on the battlefield!"
"First platoon, fire platoon, artillery platoon, follow me, emergency march reinforcement instructor!"
"The others stay and continue moving forward, Lao Hong, you will take command!"
"Time is running out, let's divide our forces and set off now!"
The independent company station in Hongquan Village was filled with explosions and the screams of artillery shells streaking across the sky.
Fireballs rising into the sky, thick black smoke and gunpowder smoke rising into the sky have completely enveloped the station.
Around the station, there were more than thirty corpses of little Japanese scattered around.
After the first round of artillery fire attack, Lieutenant Colonel Ida, who had a winning ticket, ordered two infantry squads to launch an assault, hoping to attack the station in one attack and kill the Eighth Route Army inside.
Disappointingly, the troops did not enter.
After the bombardment, six light machine guns, three grenade launchers, and fifty or sixty rifles suddenly appeared in the position that had been silent after the bombardment.
The attacking force was caught off guard and was caught off guard.
Although he ordered heavy machine guns and grenade fire to cover in time, killing and wounding many Eighth Route Army troops. However, the attacking troops were too close to the Eighth Route Army positions, and they were forced to hit them back with two rounds of grenades.
More than thirty people died on the spot, a dozen were injured, and nearly an infantry squad was lost.
Lieutenant Colonel Ida's face turned pale at that time, not in despair, but in anger.
He immediately ordered the artillery to fire in retaliation, and then the scene in front of him appeared on the battlefield.
"Sir, the shelling has been going on for five minutes, can it stop?"
"Fight for another two minutes. This time three infantry squads will attack together! One squad will attack from the front, and two squads will attack from the flanks. I don't believe we can't get in!" Lieutenant Commander Ida ordered, suppressing the anger that was rising in his heart.
.
In the independent company position, the recruits, veterans, and cadres who were able to fight all hid in the trenches with their heads in their hands, letting the artillery shells explode around them.
"Boom boom..."
Two explosions suddenly rang in my ears, and the blasted mud hit my body like rain, which was very painful.
Soon, instructor Liu Wenshan's body was covered with a thick layer of soil.
"Instructor, the Japs are too wasteful. We have less than a hundred troops, and the number of shells we dropped is probably close to 200!" Yang Ping squatted next to him and yelled.
Liu Wenshan frowned and replied: "The Japanese want to use artillery shells to kill more of our troops, so that when they attack, they will lose fewer casualties!"
"The shelling has been going on for more than five minutes. Many positions have been destroyed. The casualties among our comrades must be huge!"
"If I'm not wrong, as soon as this shelling stops, it will be time for us to fight the Japanese with all our might!"
Yang Ping immediately assured: "Instructor, don't worry, none of our comrades is a coward~"
"The same goes for the new recruits. They have all figured it out. Since they are going to die no matter what, it is better to die openly and be a hero than to be a coward and be beaten to death."
"Everyone has agreed that each person has a grenade hidden in his body. The position is really lost. When the Japanese come up, he will die with them. Kill one to save your capital, kill two to earn one!"
"Okay, if you want to scare the little devil, you have to have the energy to not be afraid of death!"
"Da da da……"
The sound of heavy machine gun fire soon replaced the sound of shell explosions.
Liu Wenqiang quickly revealed his head from the position and slowly stretched out the barrel of the gun!
"The devils are starting to attack!"
"We don't have heavy weapons. If we shoot from a long distance, we will be a living target for them, and we will die in vain!"
"Listen carefully, let's wait until they get close before we shoot!"
"The machine gunners concentrated their fire on the Japanese grenades and machine guns. The riflemen threw grenades, two per person. After throwing them, they rushed out and fought with the remaining Japanese with bayonets to repel them!"
"Bang...hit..."
Liu Wenshan, who was lying in the trench, opened fire and hit a Japanese soldier thirty meters away.
The three remaining light machine guns in the position opened fire quickly, and bullets flew towards the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers.
"More than fifty grenades also flew out together, hitting the Japanese at the front like rain.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were enveloped in the explosion.
The machine gunners and grenade launchers also suffered seven or eight casualties.
The battlefield survivability of the Eighth Route Army once again exceeded Lieutenant Colonel Ida's estimate, and the idea arose in his mind that they must be killed, and they must not be allowed to grow into a tiger.
After forcing himself to calm down, he ordered with a serious face.
"Counterattack with heavy machine guns, suppress the blocking firepower of the Eighth Route Army~" Lieutenant Colonel Ida ordered with a serious look on his face.
"Go up to the three grenade teams and destroy the Eighth Route Army machine gun fire points on the position!"
"The troops continue to attack forward. The detour troops speed up and attack immediately!"
"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is on the front. There are not many people on the two wings. If we kill them, we will win!"
On the independent company position, Liu Wenqiang's pressure increased sharply.
The number of three light machine guns was reduced to just one. The heavy machine gun bullets flying overhead were not good at dealing with them either. They were so accurate and tricky that they gave me no chance to even raise my head.
All I could do was squat in the trench, sullenly throwing grenades out.
"Boom boom..."
Suddenly, two grenades fell from the sky, one hit outside the position and the other hit the trench.
It exploded instantly, killing and wounding three soldiers.
Yang Ping, who was next to him, didn't care about the bullets flying above his head. He raised the box cannon, stuck his head out and fired.
The bullets flew towards the enemy in a fan shape, and the three Japanese soldiers who had already rushed more than 20 meters away fell down at the sound.
As soon as I retracted my head after firing the bullets, a string of heavy machine gun bullets hit my scalp and penetrated into the soil behind me.
"Instructor, the Japs have already charged up~" Yang Ping took a deep breath and shouted hurriedly before he could take a breath.
"If you continue to defend with just a grenade, we will all be killed. It's best to rush out and give it a try. Maybe you'll have a chance to repel their attack!"
"Counterattack... rush out and fight with the little devil..."
Liu Wenqiang, who had replaced his rifle with box fire, ordered without thinking!
There were less than thirty soldiers left on the front, and a dozen soldiers guarding the two wings climbed out of the trenches and rushed out. Whether they were veterans or new recruits, they all looked fearless and fearless of death.
