989. Capture the positions of the Japanese squadron
The first defense of the Japanese army was broken through, the second defense and the third defense were moved, and there was at least one squadron of Japanese troops in this position.
The combat style of the eighth company follows the company commander's doglegs, and the courage is abnormal, just like now, the company commander takes the lead in rushing and killing, and the veterans behind closely follow the company commander, and then the recruits behind are also greatly encouraged and move forward bravely.
The rapid reaction capability of the Japanese army was not trivial, even if it was attacked, the second defense immediately sent people to start a counter-charge against the eighth company, and the people of the third defense immediately came up to support.
No matter how brave the Eighth Company is, but in the face of a squadron of Japanese troops, it still seems a little insufficient, but Sangou will definitely not let the Eighth Company fight the front line.
The Ninth Company had already been transported to the position on the left flank of the Japanese army, and was waiting for this moment to come, and the Ninth Company was a loyal salvation army brought by Tienon from Baohua Mountain in Nanjing.
This unit was born in a guerrilla army, so in peacetime, although the three dogs treated them equally, they themselves always felt that others could not look down on them, and they wanted to win a big victory for everyone to see.
Originally, in this night attack, Tienon wanted to compete with Sangou for a leading role, but Sangou did not agree.
After all, this operation is not only cautious, but also of great significance, to let the recruits open the meat, so I still chose the more experienced dogleg eight companies.
However, the enthusiasm of the Ninth Company was high, and Sangou also saw it, so he sent the Ninth Company as the second wave of attack force to detour back to the left flank of the Japanese position, wait for the signal flare of the Third Dog, and then launch an impact on the Japanese position.
Sangou continued the raging battle, and when he saw in the telescope that the Eighth Company was about to struggle, he immediately picked up a flare gun and fired a red flare into the air.
The dark sky, immediately exploded by the signal flare, printed blood red, the Ninth Company saw it, immediately launched a formation, towards the left flank of the Japanese army, and killed it.
This time the Japanese army was fatally impacted, and the Ninth Company was holding its breath, but now it was finally their turn to play, and it was like a tiger descending the mountain, fighting bravely and abnormally, and it entered the core position of the Japanese army's second defense in one breath.
Two companies of more than 300 people, and a squadron of nearly 200 people of the Japanese army fought together, if according to the combat power, even the most elite troops, 300 people can not beat a squadron of the Japanese army.
But once they were killed together, and the heavy firepower of the Japanese army's heavy artillery and tanks lost its effect, Sangou had confidence in his subordinates and was confident that he would defeat the Japanese army with the advantage of numbers.
But for fear that the Japanese army would have a large number of reinforcements, Sangou left a few rear hands, Xiucai's Seventh Company, and the Bamboo Pole's Machine Gun Company, which were not vegetarians, were now ready to go, just waiting for Sangou's orders.
However, Sangou's worries did not appear, at least now, the Japanese reinforcements have not appeared, not that the Japanese army did not save them when they saw death, but that their own main force was also entangled.
When the 305th Regiment started in the third battalion and eight companies, the whole line began to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army, and thousands of people rushed into the Japanese position or attacked the Japanese position on the line from Xiangfuguan to Baimaogang.
Almost a brigade of the Japanese army is now being attacked everywhere, and it happens that the position of the three dogs and their three battalions is not the main position of the Japanese army, it is a salient, not a core position, so the Japanese army can't take care of it.
Therefore, the 3rd Battalion has always been just two infantry companies flanking this position and a Japanese squadron, and the recruits who have been fighting together and training hard for several months are slowly mastering the rhythm and feeling of the battlefield under the leadership of the veteran soldiers.
The veterans stabbed the devil and asked the recruits to stab the devil who fell to the ground and was injured, at first, only a few brave recruits dared to go up and stab him, and later, even a student soldier like Ross Xian dared to go up and stab the devil.
Sangou's telescope has been staring at the situation behind the Japanese army's three defenses, in case a devil comes to support, he has to immediately dispatch the bamboo pole cannon company, using mortars to attack the Japanese reinforcements.
But now that the Japanese reinforcements have not appeared for a long time, they will not be able to expose their mortar firepower, and if they are targeted by the heavy artillery of the devils, it will be a big loss.
The Japanese army's three defense positions did not wait for the Japanese reinforcements, but saw the Japanese troops on the position, and they were already retreating one after another.
The recruits are suitable for fighting a tailwind war, and when they see the devil retreating, they think that the war is nothing more than that, and the Japanese army, which was said to be very powerful, is nothing more than that, but is even more afraid of death, and rushes forward.
In the end, after a lot of attrition and death, a squadron of Japanese troops was left with less than half of the squadron, and they could no longer withstand the enthusiasm of nearly 300 people in the middle of the army to kill the enemy, and began to retreat.
Before the war, Sangou gave the eight and ninth company commanders three chapters, and if they succeeded, they would try to kill as many devils as they could.
If the devil retreats, two companies, at most, can only chase and kill for a mile, and then they will immediately collect their troops, strengthen the positions they have captured, turn to the defense, and wait for new orders.
If it is not successful, when retreating, the two companies have to alternately cover it, and even have to counterattack and counter-charge to buy time for the retreat of the large army.
Therefore, as soon as the Japanese army withdrew, the soldiers of the 8th and 9th companies, under the strict orders of the company commander, at most, only pursued and killed for a while, and then returned immediately.
Sangou was afraid that his troops would be stretched too long and their combat strength would be weakened, and if they encountered one of the Japanese rifles, it would be a big loss.
Therefore, it is still based on stability, step by step, waiting for the news and orders of the regimental headquarters above, if the 305th regiment as a whole is powerful and completely overwhelms the Japanese army, then the three battalions will rush forward and kill the Japanese brigade headquarters.
However, there was no new order at the regimental headquarters, and the 1st and 2nd Battalions had several positions, which were still fighting with the Japanese army, and there was no obvious superiority or improvement.
Therefore, the third battalion could not stupidly burst into the base camp of the Japanese army. Moreover, it is necessary to hurry back, seize the positions left by the Japanese army, strengthen and dig bunkers, in case the heavy artillery of the Japanese army arrives during the day.
Even if there is no heavy artillery, the Japanese army headquarters is generally equipped with 75 mountain guns, and the shells of the mountain guns are enough for everyone to drink a pot.
The mortars of their machine gun company alone were completely unable to defeat the Japanese mountain artillery.
However, the position of one squadron of the Japanese army could not accommodate two companies, and Sangou sent a signal corps to inform the Eighth Company to retreat first and build a new position on the periphery of the position to deal with the position of the Ninth Company.
Most of the people in the Ninth Company are veterans, at least in terms of anti-artillery, much better than the recruits of the Eighth Company, this is Sangou's own judgment.
He didn't want to press the Eighth Company, which was mostly recruits, into the Japanese position, and wait for dawn to be baptized by the Japanese artillery.
The 8th Company withdrew from its position and entered the outer position, separated by some distance, and at the same time did a good job of concealment and false positions, so as not to suffer heavy shelling.
