596 Reinforcements Fall from the Sky (One More Request!) )
Beat.
How to fight?
The Japanese positions stationed on the east bank of the Qin River contained at least the firepower of a Japanese machine-gun squadron, and with such fierce firepower blocking the river, it was impossible to force the river to cross the river for a while, not to mention the casualties.
Just as in front of him, under the cover of the sudden burst of powerful fire of the Japanese army, in just a short moment's effort, the team that took the lead in forcibly crossing the river had already lost nearly two companies.
Xu Zilin is right, at this moment, the surface of the Qin River is the slaughterhouse where the Japanese army harvests the lives of the enemy, under this desperate firepower, although it is only a few tens of meters wide, it is like an insurmountable moat, just in front of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Continuing to force the river crossing will face a huge crisis.
The Japanese position on the east bank of the Qin River is difficult to break, not to mention the huge casualties, at this time, for the new third regiment and the independent regiment, time is life, and if it is delayed, the Japanese soldiers encircled in the rear will press the border, which is really a two-headed attack, completely encircling the Eighth Route Army on the Qin River.
Fall back?
At this moment, the casualties in the middle of the river have spread, and even if they retreat, the casualties will gradually increase.
And as soon as this back and forth is delayed, even if Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng and their entourage withdraw to the river, the Japanese army, which is desperately chasing after the independent regiment and the new third regiment, will definitely take the opportunity to form an encirclement and completely besiege Li Yunlong, Xu Zilin and his party in the area of Kongtan in the north and south.
The situation is extremely dangerous.
What to do?
Xu Zilin had already lost a little bit at this time, and Li Yunlong was no better.
Neither of them expected that the little devil would take such pains and pains to constantly shrink the encirclement, and he actually wanted to drive the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment to the area of Kongtan in the north and south of the Qinhe River, and then combine the fire of the machine gun squadron in the opposite position to completely block the two regiments on the west bank of the river.
It's such a big conspiracy, Li Yunlong and Xu Zilin have both fallen for it.
Today's plan ...... "to break through, we can no longer choose to force the Qin River to break through, the Japanese firepower is too fierce, we rush up again how many people are in vain, it is better to turn the team around, directly break through the Japanese encirclement, we launch a counter-charge, and break through from the front." ”
"A battalion commander of them?"
Li Yunlong glanced at Xu Zilin and said: "I can't care so much, Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng's kid are all ghosts, let's directly turn our guns and launch an attack on the Japanese encirclement, the firepower of the Japanese position on the east bank is not very open, Da Biao and they can go down the river, maybe they can go around to the back of the devil's encirclement and attack the little devil with us." ”
This is Li Yunlong's idea, and it seems that there is only this unsatisfactory way to plan for the future.
There is no way, if the situation like the one in front of us is delayed any longer, the independent regiment and the new third regiment will have to play over.
But just when Xu Zilin and Li Yunlong were about to give the order, the east bank of the Qin River suddenly made a loud noise.
The Japanese camp on the east coast seems to have been attacked by an inexplicable force.
Li Yunlong was stunned, and hurriedly picked up the binoculars to observe.
The men and horses who suddenly came out on the opposite bank of the river quickly launched a charge against the Japanese position, and the eight heavy machine guns of the Japanese army became their primary target.
Under the cover of fortifications, the Japanese machine gunners were not easy to defeat, but that was only relative to the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment who forcibly crossed the river.
At this moment, the men and horses that suddenly appeared were from behind, condescendingly attacking the little devils, and the Japanese machine gunners were even defenseless, and the fire of eight heavy machine guns was dumb on the spot.
The sudden appearance of the enemy was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, which shocked the Japanese army, and the devils no longer had any care to deal with Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng who forcibly crossed the river, and hurriedly turned their guns in a panic to deal with the surprise enemy.
"Damn, it seems to be Guojun, and I don't know whose team it is, this time it really helped Lao Tzu a lot! Order, cooperate with the friendly forces on the opposite side, speed up, and force the crossing of the river. ”
The situation that was originally one-sided was reversed because of the sudden appearance of the fruit army.
The fighters of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment, who forcibly crossed the river, received a lot of cover.
The Japanese camp on the east coast was still in the middle of a fight.
This time, the Houyong Regiment mobilized almost the entire regiment to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese camp on the east bank, and all four companies were dispatched, and only five companies were taken away by the regiment commander Han Feng and the first battalion commander monk, who were responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements supporting the Japanese army on the east bank.
As for the position on the east bank of the Japanese army, Han Feng had already expected that once the Houyong regiment attacked it, the old regiment commander and they would inevitably take the opportunity to cross the river, and once the two sides met, the Japanese army would not attack and break through.
For the Houyong Regiment, it only needs to suppress the firepower of the Japanese army's position on the east bank, which is a simple task, and it does not require Han Feng to go out in person.
In fact, under the cover of Jiang Long, Li Jiasheng, Basket Scoop and others, Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng, who forcibly crossed the river, took the lead in rushing to the east bank with two teams of men.
This was naturally worse for the Japanese position on the east bank, and it was completely indifferent to blocking the rest of the soldiers of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment who crossed the river.
After the soldiers crossed the river, they quickly united with the Houyong Regiment to attack.
Several Japanese planes circled in the sky, but they couldn't tell which was the bombing target, and they were worried about being strafed by the enemy's machine gun fire, so they had no choice but to evacuate.
In this way, within a quarter of an hour, the Japanese positions on the east bank were close to falling.
The fighters of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment who forcibly crossed the river have already crossed the river in small groups.
The last devils and puppet soldiers in the East Coast camp are still resisting stubbornly.
The two heavy machine guns were regained in the hands of the little devils who were not afraid of death, and they set up the fire port at an extremely tricky angle.
The fire of the two heavy machine guns poured down, and the soldiers of the charging Houyong Regiment fell a lot, and the rest hurriedly retreated, unable to attack for a while, and took the last position of the Japanese army.
"Company commander, the devil's firepower is too fierce, we can't rush up!"
Cheng Jiang, the deputy company commander, reported helplessly to Jiang Long, who was hiding behind a dirt slope bunker to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Japanese heavy machine guns.
Jiang Long was still holding his crooked light machine gun, and he couldn't even remember how many shuttles of bullets he had missed.
I only knew that while I was shooting, the ammunition man Kojo had been busy by his side.
Later, Xiao Chen was hit by a stray bullet, and Jiang Long didn't have time to grieve, so he hurriedly grabbed another soldier and acted as his ammunition hand again.
The hot air duct of the light machine gun almost burned Jiang Long's left hand, and in desperation, Jiang Long simply took off his shirt, folded it and put it under the air duct to insulate the heat, and continued to charge and shoot shirtless.
In the face of the two heavy machine guns suddenly erected by the Japanese army, Jiang Long also had a headache and helplessness, the devil's machine gun fire did not stop, and the soil was strafed and flew around, at this time, as long as you are a little careless, raise your head, you may see your brains in the next second.
How to rush?
This is simply sending death, who wants to go up and send death?
Jiang Long said helplessly: "Wait a minute, it's impossible for the little devil's bullets to run out, anyway, the regiment commander explained very clearly, our task is to cover the Eighth Route Army across the river, as for the devil's position, just fight slowly." ”
"Yes."
"By the way, has the Eighth Route Army crossed the river?"
Cheng Jiang pressed his head, and a few heavy machine gun bullets almost grazed his scalp, but his complexion remained unchanged, and he replied: "There are many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and it is unlikely that they will all cross the river for a while and a half, so we have to hold on for a while, but there are two advance teams of the Eighth Route Army that have crossed the river and are rushing towards us." ”
