At around three or four in the morning, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel led his troops, less than four or five miles away from Luo Jiuzheng's position.
"Lieutenant Colonel, judging from the situation, the enemy does not seem to be ambushing us on our retreat route." A Japanese captain said to the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel as he walked.
"We can't make a conclusion yet, so the vanguard must pay attention to the investigation." Lieutenant Colonel Japanese said.
He did not dare to be careless because he felt that the enemy would definitely block them on this road.
"Understood." The Japanese captain nodded.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, maybe the enemy is also very likely to divide his troops into two groups." The Japanese Major changed the topic. They can divide their troops into two groups, but the enemy can't divide their troops into two groups? !
“The enemy is not sure which way we will go, so they may split into two groups. Once one of them discovers the enemy,
will try to hold us back. Let the soldiers from the other side come and surround us." The Japanese Major expressed this possibility.
"Then what are we going to do?!" Upon hearing this, the Japanese Captain's face became a little heavy.
"Concentrate your firepower, fight the enemy, and try your best to break out when the enemy's reinforcements come. If you can't break out, we can also fight for the opportunity for the company commander to break out." The Japanese Major will himself The decision was made.
Now they can only use this method to allow the captain and others to break out. Of course, the price is that their unit will probably be annihilated by the enemy.
"Major, if that's the case, wouldn't we..." The Japanese captain also understood what the major meant, and he fell silent when he finished speaking.
"This is all for the empire, understand. If the captain is alive, he can kill more enemies and achieve more achievements. Our deeds will also be spread among the group! They will not be forgotten. "Jai Zi Major said with a serious face.
In his opinion, nothing is more important than making contributions to the empire. Even if it means his death, he will not be afraid.
"That's what the Major said! For the empire!" When the Japanese captain heard this, he also replied with firm eyes.
"Yo Xi, then let us sacrifice our lives for the empire's hegemony!" The Japanese Major nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, a Japanese vanguard team of thirty or forty people was advancing. They did not use flashlights for lighting, but advanced in the dark.
It was quiet all around, you could only hear each other's footsteps.
Suddenly, a flashlight shined towards them.
They were several national soldiers on patrol. When they saw this group of Japanese soldiers, they were stunned for a moment. After all, they did not expect that there were actually Japanese soldiers behind them.
Bang bang...
The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team decisively asked people to shoot.
Puff puff puff...
Several national soldiers were killed by the Japanese on the spot.
The sound of gunfire also woke up many people in the trenches, and they reactedQuickly, he immediately stood up and fought back towards the Japanese.
Bang, bang, bang...
Click, click, click...
Fierce gunfire sounded, and the two sides started a fierce battle.
The Japanese second lieutenant asked the soldiers to spread out to avoid the enemy using machine guns to attack them all.
"Go and notify the major immediately, saying that there are enemies here to stop us!" The Japanese second lieutenant lay in the grass and ordered the messenger around him.
"Uh... Lieutenant, at this distance, you can hear the gunfire without notifying the major." The Japanese messenger was stunned and said.
The location where they fought with the enemy was only two or three miles away from the Major and the others, and the sound of gunfire could reach that far.
The Japanese second lieutenant was silent for a while.
"Stop talking nonsense and fight back quickly." The Japanese second lieutenant said.
Da da da...
A Japanese soldier lay on the ground and fired at the national soldiers in front with a crutch machine gun, suppressing the national soldiers in front. I couldn't lift my head.
In the darkness and at close range, the gap in marksmanship between the two sides was narrowed.
The Japanese team suffered casualties from time to time, and some people were shot and fell to the ground.
…………
On the other side, the Japanese Major and others also heard gunfire.
"Major, you are right, the enemy is indeed blocking us on the original route!" said the Japanese captain.
"Everyone, speed up!" The Japanese Major did not answer, but immediately issued an order for the soldiers to speed up.
Soon, the group of devils all started running towards the place where the gunshots came from.
…………
Luo Jiuzheng was also awakened by gunshots in his sleep.
He immediately stood up, reached for the military jacket and put it on.
As he was leaving the camp, the chief of staff also ran over in disheveled clothes.
"Brigade, it's the Japanese who are calling." said the chief of staff.
"Listening to the gunfire, it was the Japanese attacking the second line who were retreating, and they happened to be discovered by our people." Luo Jiuzheng said.
The gunfire came from the rear. The direction over there was exactly the direction from which the Japanese attacked the second line of defense.
"It seems that the Japanese's backup force was really wiped out by Commander Kong and the others. It's amazing!" A smile appeared on the chief of staff's face.
The Japanese must have sensed something was wrong, so they retreated overnight. As a result, they ran into them.
"However, from the sound of gunfire, there are not many Japs. They should be the vanguard of the Japs." Luo Jiuzheng said.
He heard from the gunfire that the gunfire of his own soldiers was much denser than that of the Japanese soldiers, so what they encountered now was only a small number of vanguard troops.
"Immediately ask someone to send a telegram to Lao Liu and ask him to bring people over for support. Let's hold off the Japs!" Luo Jiuzheng quickly ordered that since the matter has come true, let's have two Attack from a pincer attack and defeat this Japanese army.Annihilation.
As long as they hold back this group of Japs and consume all their ammunition, they can easily annihilate them all.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Hearing this, the chief of staff left quickly.
"Master, what if Liu Xin doesn't come?!" The chief of staff stopped again.
It is easy to send a telegram, but it is difficult to convince Liu Xin and come to support him.
"Just say, I will bear all the consequences alone, and most of the credit for annihilating the Japanese belongs to him." Luo Jiuzheng said directly.
Liu Xin's worry was nothing more than fear that problems would arise later, so he directly chose to shoulder the responsibility, so Liu Xin had no worries about sending troops.
"Yes." The chief of staff left.
"Brigade, we encountered the vanguard of the Japs." At this time, a regiment leader came over to report.
"Well, I already know. You should immediately ask for reinforcements from other troops. The Japs' follow-up troops may be coming." Luo Jiuzheng nodded and gave the order.
"Understood!" The leader turned and left.
At this time, the Japs' vanguard troops suffered heavy casualties, more than half of them were dead, and they were retreating steadily.
In less than a few minutes of fighting, there were already so many casualties.
"Second Lieutenant, I can't stand it anymore, let's retreat quickly." The ordering soldier quickly advised.
What they are facing now is only the attack of one or two companies. After a while, other enemy troops will be reinforced, and they will be in trouble.
"Baga, how can we retreat now? Once we get up, we will become a living target for the enemy." The Japanese second lieutenant said angrily.
They can still use the bushes to hide their figures to counterattack, but once they stand up and retreat to the rear, they will be targets.
…………
In the 323rd Brigade, the telegraph operator took a telegram and hurried to the rest tent of brigade commander Liu Xin.
"The host has gone to bed. If you have any questions, I will report tomorrow." The guard at the door stopped him.
"Get out of the way, this is a big deal, and it must be seen by the brigade now, otherwise it will delay the battle, and you have a few heads to chop off!" After the telegraph operator finished speaking, he pushed the guard aside and walked in.
"Sir, wake up quickly, something big has happened." The telegraph operator didn't care so much and woke up Liu Xin directly.
"What's going on?!" Liu Xin suppressed his anger and sat up. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked tired. He yawned and tears overflowed.
"Brigade, Brigadier Luo sent a telegram... saying that the Japanese support troops have been annihilated by Commander Kong Shengkong. The Japanese here have sensed something is wrong, have retreated, and started fighting with them... ..." The telegraph operator said the telegram in one breath, but was interrupted by Liu Xin before he finished speaking.
"What?!" Liu Xin's sleepiness disappeared instantly. He directly grabbed the telegram and read it, his eyes full of shock.
"Go and call the Chief of Staff immediatelycome over. "After Liu Xin read it, he came outside and gave orders to the guards.
"Yes! "The guard nodded and left here.
Liu Xin stood up, picked up his military uniform and put it on.
He held the telegram in his hand and read it carefully again to make sure that he That’s right.
After waiting for a long time, the chief of staff hurried in.
“Brigade, what happened? ! "The chief of staff asked.
His face was tired, his whole body was a little haggard, and the buttons of his military uniform were buttoned in the wrong position.
"Look at this telegram. "Liu Xin handed the telegram to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff looked puzzled and took the telegram and read it.
"The Japanese on the other side have withdrawn? ! Impossible? ! "The chief of staff saw this and asked.
"We should have withdrawn, but not all of them have withdrawn. I estimate that some of these Japanese soldiers should have stayed on the other side. Liu Xin speculated.
If what Luo Jiuzheng said is true and Kong Sheng annihilated the Japanese support troops, then the Japanese here will definitely retreat.
However, in order to avoid being flanked, these Japanese soldiers will leave behind some of their troops while retreating.
"Brigade, I still have some doubts. Kong Sheng's regiment only has 3,000 people. There are many people around, and the Japanese support troops must be in the thousands at least.
Can Kong Sheng really annihilate the thousands of Japanese support troops with a force of 3,000 people? ! "The chief of staff's suspicion is not without reason.
"I think it is true. I still know Luo Jiuzheng. He is cautious and can say that he takes responsibility. It must be true.
If the intelligence is wrong, he will bear all the responsibilities. What do we have to fear? If we can annihilate the Japanese, we will have accomplished a great feat. "Liu Xin said.
He is not just for credit, but also wants to annihilate these devils and avenge the people who died in the hands of the devils.
" What the traveler said is . "The chief of staff responded.
"Organize the troops immediately and cross the bridge! "Liu Xin gave the order.
"Yes! "The chief of staff left.
Soon, the troops were assembled.
The artillery position began to fire at the Japanese on the other side. At the same time, the soldiers also took advantage of this opportunity and began to cross the bridge.
p>
The Japanese will not watch the soldiers crossing the bridge!
Bang, bang, bang...
Click, click...
The two sides began to fight on the bridge. Fortunately, the Chinese soldiers had built a lot of bunkers on this side of the bridge. Otherwise, the casualties would have been serious.
Boom, boom, boom...
Artillery. The position was adjusted, and the shells landed near the bridgehead on the other side, directly killing the Japanese.
"Baga! Why are these people so powerful? "A Japanese Major hid behind the bunker and cursed angrily. In his opinion, this unit should not be so fierce.Artillery fire is the right thing.
But Liu Xin had no intention of saving shells in order to cross the bridge quickly.
"I can't get over what I planned. We must wipe out all these sons of bitches!" Liu Xin looked serious. This is a good opportunity.
To be honest, he had not expected that Kong Sheng and the others would be able to annihilate the Japanese support troops when they retreated so quickly. He thought that Kong Sheng and the others could only delay the Japanese support at most.
Liu Xin was also a little lucky that he did not order the bridge to be blown up. If the bridge was blown up, it would be difficult for them.
One wooden boat after another took the opportunity to launch into the water at this moment. The soldiers got on the boat and began to row towards the other side.
Boom~~~
At this moment, the Japanese fired a flare, and the blazing white light illuminated an area of two miles in radius.
National soldiers who wanted to cross the river by boat were also discovered by the Japanese.
…………
After a few minutes of fierce fighting, the Japanese Major noticed something was wrong.
"Launch flares immediately and send two teams to guard the river. The enemy is likely to cross the river!" the Japanese major immediately ordered a Japanese soldier.
"Hi!" The Japanese soldier left.
Soon, flares were fired into the sky, and the Japanese discovered the national soldiers crossing the river!
Bang bang bang...
Da da da...
The Japanese immediately concentrated their firepower and started shooting at the ships on the river.
Puff puff puff......
Many national soldiers were shot and fell into the river, and a large area of blood red emerged.
The Japanese even used artillery to bombard ships on the river. The shells fell into the water and exploded, causing splashes to rise several meters high. A ship was sunk by the shells on the spot, and the soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties.
The national soldiers also quickly fought back against the Japanese.
"Damn, this little Japs is quite smart. He let the artillery bombard the Japs on the other side and cover the ships crossing the river!" When Liu Xin saw this, he also hurriedly ordered.
The Japanese commander opposite still has some brains.
He thought the other party would think he just wanted to cross the bridge.
A few minutes later, the artillery position adjusted its muzzle and fired at the Japanese.
Boom, boom, boom...
One after another, the shells rose into the sky and flew towards the Japanese.
Boom, boom, boom...
With the cover of artillery fire, the ship also accelerated its speed, planning to cross the river as soon as possible.
The soldiers on the bridge also began to exert pressure on the Japanese on the opposite side.
Liu Xin asked people to use all the many machine guns. In terms of firepower, they directly suppressed the Japanese on the opposite side.
For a while, the Japanese Major also realized that if they continued to hold on like this, they would not be able to hold on, let alone buy time for the captain and the others to retreat.
"Withdraw, let's go to the positions they built before and use these positions toStop these enemies. "The Japanese Major made an immediate decision.
Since the bridge cannot be defended, we will withdraw to the position dug by the national army here, and then fight a positional battle with these national troops. The transformation has been serious recently, so let's We are more motivated and can update faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
