Soon, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel led people to evacuate the bridge, and they rushed to the position established by the 323rd Brigade.
"Brigade, the Japanese have withdrawn." An officer ran over and reported to Liu Xin.
"Damn it, they are not trying to withdraw, but they are trying to occupy our position on the other side." Liu Xin understood the enemy's purpose immediately.
"Kill them and destroy these Japs!" Liu Xin ordered.
The soldiers of 323 hurriedly crossed the bridge.
The Japanese attacked the position.
Boom, boom, boom...
One shell after another was fired towards the Japanese. Many Japanese were killed on the spot by the shells, and some unlucky ones were blown into pieces. Blood splattered.
"Let the Fourth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment outflank them from both wings and launch an attack at the same time to annihilate this group of Japs as quickly as possible." Liu Xin continued to give orders after crossing the bridge!
Click, click, click...
Bang, bang, bang...
The soldiers of the 323rd Brigade were killing the Japanese, and soldiers were shot from time to time. Fall to the ground.
The soldiers beside him had no time to care about this and continued to charge.
The Japanese Major is also asking the Japanese soldiers to launch a counterattack.
After half an hour of fierce fighting, Liu Xin asked the troops to withdraw and take a short rest.
"Brigade, these Japs are really powerful in positional warfare. It is a bit difficult to eliminate these Japs in a short time." The Chief of Staff came to Liu Xin.
The position occupied by the Japs made it impossible for their troops to deploy. They had previously caused heavy casualties to the Japs in this way.
Now it is their turn!
"Damn it, let the soldiers of the fifth regiment surround these Japs, and the Fourth Regiment and Sixth Regiment go around and support Luo Jiuzheng!" Upon seeing this, Liu Xin no longer struggled with the Japs.
Since the devils want to stay, let the devils stay.
Wait for them to go round with Luo Jiuzheng, kill the Japs over there, and then turn around and kill this Japs.
"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded and immediately went to give the order.
Half an hour later, the soldiers of the fourth and sixth regiments had already gathered, bypassed the Japanese position, and rushed to Luo Jiuzheng.
During this period, they did not launch an attack on the Japanese.
In the trench, the Japanese major was breathing heavily and his left arm was bandaged.
"Major, the enemy doesn't know what they are doing, and they are not continuing to attack now." Captain Guizi came to Major Guizi and said.
“Something is wrong, bad. The enemy is planning to bypass us and join other troops.
If this is the case, our troops may have already fought against the enemy. That's why the enemy doesn't care about us." The Japanese Major responded.
"Then what should we do?!" the Japanese captain asked.
"How many soldiers do we have now?!" The Japanese Major did not answer the question, but asked.
"There are still more than two hundred and thirty people." Captain Japanese replied.
"Oh, it seems like we can't rush out and intercept those enemies. We shouldn't have retreated just now." The Japanese Major heard this and sighed.
He should be guarding the bridge to stop the attack, rather than leaving there.
Although their situation is much better now than guarding the bridge, they are unable to intercept more enemies. He made a wrong decision.
“Let’s stay here. Since the enemy won’t let us leave, we won’t leave. We can still hold on for a while.
In the meantime, try to kill as many enemies as possible. ." The Japanese Major sighed, feeling helpless.
They now have a terrain advantage, and the enemy will still have to waste a lot of time if they want to destroy them.
"Understood!" The Japanese captain nodded.
"Let the soldiers consolidate their positions. The enemy's positions are not dug as well as ours." The Japanese Major ordered.
When it comes to positional warfare, the Empire is better at it. Not only in offense, they are also good at defense.
"Hi!" The Japanese captain crouched and immediately went to convey the order.
"Captain, I hope you can break out of the encirclement as soon as possible." The Japanese Major could only pray now.
…………
The Japanese Lieutenant Colonel led the team and quickly arrived at Luo Jiuzheng.
Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the attack.
Click, click, click...
Bang, bang, bang...
Fierce gunfire came out, and the Japanese were launching an attack.
Both sides had casualties, but the Japanese side had not established a position after all, and the casualties were almost the same as those of Luo Jiuzheng's troops.
"Have the artillery set up a good position?!" the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel called a Japanese officer to ask.
"Not even close." The Japanese officer responded.
"Let them build their positions and fire on the enemy as soon as possible." Lieutenant Colonel Japanese ordered.
There are also some Japanese soldiers who are filling sand in sacks and planning to build temporary combat positions.
"Since we are fighting here, the enemies on the commander's side should also be heading here." Japanese Lieutenant Colonel thought to himself.
Although I am somewhat unwilling to die like this, as long as the captain can leave safely, it will be worth it.
A few minutes later, the Japanese artillery position was constructed, and the Japanese artillery began to adjust the muzzle, and soon they completed the adjustment!
Bang, bang, bang...
Whoosh, whoosh...
The Japanese artillerymen put the shells into the muzzle, and a muffled sound came out. Fire the shells to form a parabola and fall into the position!
Boom, boom, boom...
The shell exploded, sending out bursts of fire, and then dissipated!
During the bombardment of artillery fire, the Chinese soldiers suffered many casualties, and the Japanese soldiers also advanced more under the cover of artillery fire.
Click, click, click...
Bang, bang, bang...
The gunshots continued, both sides were fighting fiercely, both giving up life and death, with only one purpose in their eyes, that Just kill the enemy in front of you!
…………
Boom, boom, boom…
Luo Jiuzheng frowned as he listened to the sound of bombardment.
"Damn, these little devils are quite powerful." The chief of staff couldn't help but cursed.
But when he saw Luo Jiuzheng frowning, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Brigade, what's wrong with you?!" the chief of staff asked.
"The Japs' artillery fire is much worse than before. Moreover, the number of people attacking us is not large, only one large group at most." Luo Jiuzheng told the situation.
"Then the number of people is really wrong." said the chief of staff.
When the Japs were crossing the river, there were still two to three thousand people. They had only fought with Liu Xin and his brigade for two or three days, and at most they had only a few hundred casualties. Now there was a large group of Japs. , what about the rest? !
"It seems that the remaining Japs are running towards Commander Kong. Fortunately, they are there. Otherwise, with just us, it would be difficult to destroy this unit." Luo Jiuzheng sighed.
Their strength, plus the strength of the 323rd Brigade, was six to one or even seven to one with the Japanese, but it would cost a lot to destroy this army.
Kong Sheng and the others eliminated the Japanese support troops and successfully made the Japanese commander choose to divide his troops and leave.
Of course, even if the Japs didn't do this and continued to choose to break out with all the troops on his side, he could still hold on until Kong Sheng and the others arrived.
That’s the price, it’s just a little high, and a lot of soldiers will be sacrificed.
"If this is the case, I think the Japanese are likely to leave some Japanese behind to stop Brigadier Liu." said the chief of staff.
Since the Japanese thought there might be ambushes in both directions, they would not let Liu Xin and the others easily cover them up.
"Well, that's for sure." Luo Jiuzheng nodded and said, the Japanese are not that stupid, they will definitely do this.
"But I guess there aren't many soldiers left by the Japs, so the Japs are betting that they can break out before Brigadier Liu and the others come over." said the Chief of Staff.
"So, we must defend the position here and prevent the Japanese from breaking through. As for Commander Kong, we don't need to worry.
Although they are small in number, they have firepower But they are very strong, especially since they also annihilated the Japanese support troops and captured more weapons.
I believe they can destroy this Japanese army," Luo Jiuzheng said.
Compared with Kong Sheng's regiment, their brigade was relatively difficult, and it was not easy to fight the Japanese.
"Inform the artillery and ask them to launch artillery bombardment against the Japanese!" Luo Jiuzheng was no longer hiding and gave orders to the ordering soldiers.
They have to withstand itThe Japanese attack lasted until Liu Xin and his men arrived!
"Yes!" The ordering soldier nodded and immediately went to convey the order.
Not long after, their artillery positions also fired shells, falling towards the Japanese.
Boom, boom, boom...
The shells exploded one after another, killing many Japanese.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel also continued to order the artillery positions to fire.
The two sides immediately started fighting!
Luo Jiuzheng was protected by a position, and the shells did not cause much damage to Luo Jiuzheng and the others.
On the contrary, there are not many bunkers on the Japanese side, and the casualties are more serious!
………
At the same time.
Li Jin and the others were also quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese.
They did not choose to ambush in favorable terrain, because the Japanese would definitely send vanguard troops to investigate.
Once they discover them, the Japanese are likely to turn around and leave, then find advantageous terrain to build a position and want to fight them in a positional battle. This is what Li Jin does not want to see.
Because once we engage in positional warfare with the Japs, it means trouble, especially when the Japs still have a geographical advantage.
So, Li Jin and the others ambush at a location about sixty or seventy meters away from both sides of the road, and this location is just past the most suitable ambush location ahead.
When the Japanese captain discovered that there was no ambush there, he would most likely be careless when he passed here.
“Commander Mu, let’s wait a minute, are we really going to fight the Japanese with bayonets?!” Kong Sheng asked.
He is a little worried. There are still many new recruits in the Third Regiment.
Mu Jin’s method of combat was to plant mines on the road, and then once the mines detonated, the artillery positions would launch bombardments against the Japanese.
At this time, the soldier on the right shot out the bullets in the gun as quickly as possible, and then, the ambush soldier on the left rushed towards the Japanese and started fighting with them.
When the Japs were being fought by the soldiers on the left, the soldiers on the right would also rush over and fight the Japs with bayonets.
Although there seemed to be no problem, he was still a little worried.
What if more than 2,000 Japs come? Can these 3,000 of them be able to fight with bayonets against the Japs? !
He admitted that Mu Jin's soldiers were very accurate with their marksmanship, but he had never seen whether they were good at bayonet fighting, so he was a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, I won't joke with the lives of my soldiers, and the Japanese who come will not be all Japanese." Li Jin comforted.
I also know that Kong Sheng is worried, just because he is afraid that he will not be able to defeat the Japanese with a stab at close range.
Li Jin had already made preparations.
If there are so many Japs coming, then follow the plan. If only half of the Japs come, then Li Jin will have to transfer half of the people to support Luo Jiuzheng.
CauseBecause they came only half way, it showed that the Japanese troops were divided into two groups. If the Japanese soldiers broke through the position defended by Luo Jiuzheng and the others, wouldn't they allow the Japanese soldiers to escape?
Hearing Li Jin's comfort, Kong Sheng felt a little more relieved. He still believed in this. Mu Jin would not risk the lives of soldiers casually.
At this time, the walkie-talkie in his hand rang.
"Battal Commander, the Japs have now reached the first guard post. They are about eighteen miles away from you." Lu Changgong's voice came from the intercom.
Although the effective range of the walkie-talkies is only six miles, by stringing them together, you can know the farther target. One contacts two, two contacts three, and three contacts four. It is easy to know the situation more than ten miles away. .
"Yes, I understand. How many Japs are there?!" Li Jin nodded and asked.
"What we can see so far is that there is only one brigade. I don't know if there are any Japanese behind them. I'll let someone take a look." Lu Changgong said.
"Okay, as soon as possible." Li Jin ordered.
"Understood."
The intercom quickly went silent.
"This thing is really easy to use. It can actually know the situation more than ten miles away." Kong Sheng looked at the walkie-talkie in Li Jin's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he understood. like.
It would be great if he had one too.
"Battle Commander Mu, why don't you sell two of them to me for fun. I won't use them for combat, but for research. No matter how much you want," Kong Sheng couldn't help but say.
If you don’t use it for combat, it’s fine for playing with it. Anyway, as long as it’s not taken away by the Japanese.
"Captain Kong, I advise you to give up on this idea. It is impossible to give this thing to you. You know the importance of this thing very well. If you mention it, I will fall out." Li Jin said with a serious face.
"Well...that's what I'm telling you, Commander Mu, don't take it to heart, don't take it to heart." Kong Sheng said repeatedly.
He also felt that he had gone too far. This was something Mu Jin and the others had made. It was so precious. If it were given to him, if it was lost or obtained by the Japanese, it would not be enough for him to die ten times. Many.
"Just this once, if you say so, our cooperation will end unilaterally." Li Jin continued, again and again and again!
"Don't worry, Commander Mu, I will never mention it in the future." Kong Sheng was also afraid that Mu Jin would end the cooperation.
If this happens, he will be scolded to death, and demotion is the lightest punishment.
After Li Jin waited for ten minutes, the intercom rang.
"Batalion Commander, we have sent people to check. There are indeed no other troops behind the Japs. It is just this Japs brigade." Lu Changgong's voice came out.
"Well, let the soldiers come back." Li Jin nodded and said immediately.
"Yes."
"Commander Kong, it is basically certain that the only Japanese who came is a big one."Team, you can rest assured now. "Li Jin said with a smile.
Isn't Kong Sheng just worried that there are too many Japs? There are not many now.
