Chapter 303: Second Wave of Attacks
The cow village at night is already a sea of fire.
The artillery cover of the first tentative attack of the Japanese army was not just to bomb the position at the entrance of the village. It also bombarded the depths of the village, so that some of the buildings of the people in the village were blown into ruins, and many wooden buildings were burned by Japanese artillery fire.
Although most of the fires were extinguished by Li Yunlong's timely dispatch of some soldiers, there were still some fires that were constantly burning.
The flames shone on the village, causing the Japanese artillery positions south of the Xiushui River to fire artillery bombardment from time to time, and continued to bombard the defensive positions of Niu Village and the new regiment.
"Made, the little devil really has plenty of shells! It's a pity that this time we were mobile and easy to fight, and we did not carry infantry guns. Otherwise, with the two Type 92 infantry guns of the little devil, it will not be enough for us to eat! The cat hid in the trenches of the forward position, and Sun Dehai, the commander of the first battalion and the first company, held a telescope at this time, and watched the Japanese army unscrupulously shelling the buildings in his own position and Niucun Village, and said with a curse.
At this time, a soldier came around from the side of the trench and touched Sun Dehai's side.
"Report to the company commander, the battalion commander ordered, strengthen the alert! The little devils will attack soon! The herald also risked his body to avoid the cold guns of the Japanese army, and gave orders to Sun Dehai.
Sun Dehai waved his hand and said in the night: "Got it!" ”。
The herald soldier answered, and then went back along the route he had come.
According to Li Yunlong's plan before the war, he was preparing to fight the little devils in Niu Village to ambush the pursuing troops. However, judging from the unique topography at the entrance of Niucun Village and the topography in Niucun Village, the results of putting the little devils into the village to fight ambush warfare will not be great.
In addition, the Japanese pursuit force was at least 2,000 people, which was twice the current strength of the new regiment. Therefore, after arriving in Niu Village, Li Yunlong took a detailed look at the terrain here, and then decided to change the ambush battle to a blocking position battle.
At present, it seems that the effect is still very strong. At least with the strength of about one company in the forward position, plus the flank cover of the two flanks, it is really good to be able to withstand the first wave of Japanese attacks.
However, at this time, Sun Dehai received the statistics of the casualties of the troops, and he still felt a little painful. Although the soldiers were very strong, they were very effective in counterattacking the Japanese army. However, the artillery fire of the little devils was not covered, and although the Japanese artillery bombardment was not very effective because of the night.
However, when the shells exploded and debris flew all over the sky, the new group of fighters who used the trenches as cover were still some inevitably injured and even killed.
In the first wave of counterattacks, Sun Dehai's troops suffered more than ten casualties, which shows that the war is equal for both sides. When you kill an enemy, they will also kill and wound your soldiers.
"Damn, the casualties of the troops are a bit big!" Regarding the casualties, although Sun Dehai expected it, the casualties of more than ten people still made Sun Dehai, who had suffered a lot of losses, feel pain. If the officers of the Nationalist Army who were close to Sun Dehai were not satisfied with the results of Sun Dehai's troops in killing more than 70 Japanese soldiers with more than 10 casualties, they would have felt very embarrassed.
After all, with the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army, it is very possible that if you want to annihilate more than 70 Japanese soldiers, you need to lose at least one battalion of soldiers of your own troops.
At this time, more than 50 meters away on the south bank of the Xiushui River, Kotaro Yokoyama held a telescope and looked at the new defensive position at the entrance of Niucun Village opposite, with a very wonderful expression.
On the one hand, although there were more than 70 casualties in the tentative attack, the Japanese army also temporarily determined that the main force of the new regiment that had withdrawn here had no intention of retreating immediately. But in the face of the terrain of Niucun, coupled with the strong resistance of the other party, Yokoyama Kotaro is very uncomfortable, in this case, as a senior officer of the Japanese country, Yokoyama Kotaro, the other party is extremely despised him!
Raising the watch he was carrying on his left wrist, Kotaro Yokoyama ordered the Japanese soldiers beside him: "Yo Sai, order the four squadrons of Imperial Army warriors, and the officers immediately after the artillery fire covers." Infantry and artillery coordination, give me one swoop to take the defensive blocking position at the entrance of the village of the Chinese army. ”。
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo!" The Japanese herald paused, nodded and bowed, and then hurriedly conveyed the order to the second wave of attacking soldiers of the Japanese army, who were ready for battle.
Soon, Koji Kitano, the commander of the battle, who had received the order, signaled the leaders of the four squadrons of the attacking Japanese army to command their respective units to start attacking.
"Yo Xi, the position of the front Chinese army, attack and advance. For His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Empire, for His Royal Highnesses the two princes of the empire who died tragically in the hands of a new group, stupid chicken! Charge me! Onboard, onboard, onboard! Koji Kitano drew his katana, pressed forward suddenly, and commanded the devil officers of the Japanese squadrons.
"Hayi, sir!" The captains of several Japanese squadrons who were responsible for directing the attack paused heavily, and then each returned to his own troops and began to direct the Japanese troops to attack!
The second wave of the Japanese army soon began, and the devils of the four squadrons, nearly a thousand people, dispersed, took advantage of the cover of night and artillery fire, began to wade across the river, and after landing on the north bank, they attacked and advanced in the direction of the entrance of Niucun Village.
The Japanese artillery fire followed, and one after another the blazing shells with tail flames roared and smashed into the positions of the blocking troops in the direction of Sun Dehai's headquarters and both flanks, exploding red flames.
"Boom, boom!"
The shells exploded, which was very shocking in the night, especially the two Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army, and the flames of the explosion reflected the sky at the entrance of the entire Niucun village.
"Avoid the guns, pay attention to concealment! Made, you kid don't want to die! Take cover! On the position of the first company, a squad leader saw that his soldiers seemed to be blown up and confused, and he actually stood in place in a daze.
So the squad leader shouted angrily, and when he saw that this soldier seemed to be stunned by the bombing, he immediately threw down him with a kick and lay down on the spot.
After all, the Japanese artillery shells have been overwhelming, and it is impossible to enter the bomb shelter at this time, so they can only hide on the spot.
Fortunately, although the Japanese artillery bombardment was spectacular, it was night, and it was impossible to achieve a huge effect of the shelling at night. What's more, the Japanese army under the command of Kotaro Yokoyama rarely fought at night. What's more, as a unit born in night battles, the new regiment is very good at it.
At this time, the Japanese army took advantage of the night and artillery fire to cover, and had crossed the Xiushui River again, and after killing on the north bank, two squadrons mainly attacked the frontal position of the new regiment, and the rest of each squadron flanked to cover!
"Brothers, call me! Resist the second wave of attacks of the little devils and kill! Sun Dehai was in the trenches of the forward position, and he had already seen the devil soldiers enter the best shooting distance, and he raised his hand and commanded fiercely!
