When the battalion was preparing for a fierce battle, in front of the position of the 155th Division of the friendly neighbors, the Japanese army launched one attack after another, and the attacking infantry continued to advance under artillery fire, but quietly stopped within a distance of 100 meters from the position, either firing at the same place, or retreating, allowing the troops below to launch waves of attacks. Ｘ

No matter how fiercely the officers and men of the 155th Division fought back, the Japanese army rarely entered within 100 meters, and there were only scattered Japanese corpses in front of the position, as long as the Japanese army passed and the officers and men on the position opened fire, it would not take long for the Japanese army to withdraw, and the intensity of the Japanese army's artillery bombardment today was much worse than yesterday's, and the density of artillery fire was sparse in Xi'an's port.

When the gunfire on the preparatory battalion position was the most intense, Qiu Qingquan rushed to the command post of the 155th Division, and the purpose was naturally to ask for reinforcements from that regiment.

"Chief Li, the front sentence of my assault column preparing the battalion position fell into a white-knuckle battle, and the Japanese infantry in front of your formation is still running away with a fight, and the artillery bombardment is far less than yesterday, I wonder when reinforcements will be transferred to me?"

Li Hansoul's tone was quite ashamed: "The Japanese offensive has indeed been greatly weakened, and when this round of Japanese troops retreats, I will transfer a regiment and assign it to you, brother." As Qiu Qingquan expected, the Japanese army did feint against the positions of the 155th Division and the 58th Division, and the assault column was besieged by more Japanese troops, the same brigade, one brigade was scattered to deal with the 155th Division and the 58th Division, and the other second brigade was completely against the reserve battalion, and the preparation battalion was in a tragic situation, and Li Hansoul knew that he also had a responsibility.

"Thank you, sir, in addition to reinforcements, I think the most important thing at the moment is to counterattack, the enemy in front of you is attacking our assault column on the one hand, and hitting other parts of our army on the other, the artillery fire is fierce and the infantry is weak, on the whole, the Japanese army is not enough, otherwise it would have been fought out a long time ago, the enemy in front of the face, at most is an infantry wing, I think, we should plan for an attack as soon as possible, after fighting for so long, in front of your position, how many corpses of the Japanese army are there?"

"Someone, immediately order the 463rd Brigade, transfer a regiment, reinforce the assault column, and contact the 58th Division, ready to launch a counterattack!" Li Hansoul said to the staff officers beside him, Qiu Qingquan got the reinforcements he wanted, there were very few troops he could use before, and the chariot was no longer with the cooperation of the infantry, it was difficult to play the role of supporting the preparation battalion, and he had to be vigilant against the incoming Japanese army at all times. Qiu Qingquan saluted, and then went to hand over the command of a regiment of reinforcements under the leadership of a staff officer. Li Hansoul sent people to actively contact the 58th Division, brewing a counterattack plan in person.

At the wing headquarters of the 15th Wing of the Japanese Army, Wing Commander Morita Fan was listening to the shouts of killing from the position of the right flank preparation battalion, and the news of the successful attack had not yet come, and the news from the second brigade, in addition to the failure of the attack was the failure of the night attack, was now engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese defenders on the position.

The understanding of the level of the squadron's stabbing and combined with various previous examples, Morita Fan Zheng felt that this time, the attack of the second brigade should be successful, if it was not successful, the 15th Wing had to terminate the attack on the whole front, and now it was close to noon, the shells used by the 15th Wing to shell the 155th Division and the 58th Division had been consumed, and many artillery pieces had been seriously worn, and the third brigade used to contain the attack, although the casualties were not large, but the squadron took turns to carry out a feint. Many soldiers were tired from the long rotational attack, and this kind of rotational attack could not be held on for a long time even by the iron man.

"Artillery was ordered, the shelling was suspended, and the 3rd Brigade also suspended the attack and rested for a while." Morita Fan Zheng said in a low voice.

The staff officer on the side hesitated: "Your Excellency Wing Commander, if you stop the feint, what about the second brigade?" ”

"It has already broken into the position, there should be no mistakes, not to mention that the third brigade has also been fighting for so long, it should be adjusted slightly."

"Yes."

The top leaders of both sides, in the midst of a fierce fight, made close adjustments to their respective countermeasures.

"Kill!" Zhang Wei fired two shots forward, killing a Japanese soldier who was planning to sneak up on the soldiers of the preparatory battalion

In the noon sun, hundreds of soldiers were mixed together, fighting to the end, Zhang Wei's face was covered with blood, of course, it was other people's blood, the Zhongzheng rifle was smashed after several fights, the bayonet was smashed, Zhang Wei simply threw the rifle, picked up a sapper shovel, left hand shovel, right hand barge gun, see the devil shoot first, when necessary, use the shovel to smash, the battle to this part, long ago no morality, not to mention the Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army on the battlefield, the bigger the fewer, the Chinese soldiers too, but the preparation battalion has a large number of people, fighting, the battle has evolved into two or three reserve battalion officers and soldiers against one or two Japanese troops, the balance of the battle situation gradually tilted towards the reserve battalion, the soldiers of the second and third companies who have not gone through the white-knuckle battle, after witnessing the sacrifice of their comrades and the madness of the Japanese army, learned calm and fighting skills from the tragedy and death.

Or follow the veterans, or work in groups of two or three, and fight to the death with the Japanese army, most of these soldiers were pulled by Lazhuang Ding, and the honesty of the peasants and Zhang Wei's preferential treatment of them made the preparation battalion rarely like other troops, and there were a large number of deserters on the march.

What they have in their bones is not only honest, Zhang Wei and He Kun These chiefs personally took the guys up to fight with the Japanese, these big-headed recruits asked themselves what they were afraid of, blood and death inspired blood, the commanders were all in battle, the devils were killed in front of them, what else could they do, only fight.

Two or three gangs deal with one devil, and when one person is stabbed, the other two always find an opportunity to take down the Japanese soldier on the opposite side.

The Japanese army gradually lost support on the battlefield, in the face of these desperate Chinese soldiers, in such a long battle, the second squadron that had suffered heavy casualties in the attack position was not much left, the squadron leader Captain Sakamoto was also killed by a grenade detonated by the soldiers of the preparation battalion, only the third squadron was basically intact, and it was still struggling to support on the battlefield, in the face of a large number of soldiers of the preparation battalion, the third squadron was not supported, and many Japanese soldiers were forced to retreat and gather together to deal with the large number of officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion, The two sides who were originally fighting on the front line of the preparatory battalion and in depth involuntarily compressed the area of the battle.

"Brothers, let's get together, push the little Japanese out, take back our position, and drive them out!" Zhang Wei also saw the decline of the Japanese army clearly in the desperate battle, taking advantage of the lack of support of the Japanese army, driving the Japanese army out of the position, and compressing the Japanese army outward is the most important thing.

The shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield, and the company platoon commanders and squad leaders in the battle played a key role, organizing the soldiers to gather and charge outside the position.

"Hold on!" The squadron leader of the third squadron held his command knife and tried to make the soldiers who were gradually losing strength to fight forward, the current situation was extremely unfavorable to them, and it was very difficult to make further progress in the face of the squadron that was far more numerous than his own, let alone completely break through the position.

"Your Excellency Captain, the second and third squadrons are really too difficult to fight, and Captain Sakamoto has already done his best for the emperor."

The captain of the second brigade did not scold angrily, was silent for a while, looked at the position that was still stuck in the distance, and lowered his head weakly.

"The squadron on the opposite side is really elite, and it is unbelievable that it can not collapse in the white-knuckle assault of the two squadrons."

"Send someone to the wing headquarters to report to the wing commander, the first squadron in front of the squadron has strong combat strength and strong fighting spirit, and our brigade is currently suffering nearly half of the casualties, and I request a suspension of the attack."

On the battlefield in the distance, the two sides of the white-knuckle duel have shifted the battlefield to the vicinity of the first line of defense of the position of the preparatory battalion, and the battle here has become extremely fierce after a low tide, and the Japanese army is still trying to stay in the position of the preparatory battalion as much as possible, and the already fierce fighting between the two sides has once again become white-hot.

Qiu Wei and Zhang Wei jointly killed a Japanese soldier, and Qiu Wei wiped the blood from his face.

"Battalion commander, the little devil doesn't want to go, and he's starting to play with his life again."

"They don't want to leave, all that can be left here are the corpses, let the brothers go out and beat them, and those who can use guns will use guns."

After speaking, Zhang Wei picked up the shell gun, rushed over, and shot down several Japanese soldiers who had gathered together.

"Shoot!" After Zhang Wei fired, the gunshots on the position rang out one after another, there were preparation battalions, there were also Japanese soldiers, a reserve battalion soldiers and a Japanese army in the first trench with a scuffle together, the Japanese army was about to turn over hard, a ** squad leader's bayonet stabbed into his chest, pulled out violently, and opened a bloody hole in the chest, the Japanese soldiers who were stabbed gave up the idea of killing the enemy, and crawled outside the trench with all their strength.

After the muffled sound of the 79 rifle, the corpse of the Japanese soldier fell in the corner of the trench.

"Rush, get the devil out." Zhang Wei waved his arm, and the decline of the Japanese army could no longer be reversed.

After a series of gunfire and heavy onslaught, the Japanese could no longer control the battle battlefield in their positions and began to retreat.

"All retreat!" The squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron no longer had the intention of continuing to fight, and the strength and morale in his hands were not enough to continue the fight, so he had to preserve his vital forces and retreat.

The Japanese soldiers heard the squadron leader's retreat order, and after a long and bitter battle, everyone only had the word retreat in their minds, and the team of more than 100 people quickly lifted the contact with the squadron and quickly retreated.

"Don't chase out of the trenches, it's enough to pursue them with fire." Zhang Wei stopped the officers and soldiers who wanted to continue the pursuit, and ordered the pursuit to be carried out by firepower, and the soldiers broke away from contact with the Japanese army and opened fire in the first line of defense.

Behind the positions of the prepared battalion, there was a roar of machinery and shouts of killing.

"Battalion commander, look!"

The whole of the preparatory battalion was looking backwards, and five or six chariots were bypassing the fortifications of the preparatory battalion's position, and to the left, there were still a large number of soldiers wearing British steel helmets around and behind the bombing Caine River, which was Qiu Qingquan's reinforcements.

Before the bombardment could catch up with the fleeing Japanese troops, the 45-mm shells were the first to let out a roar, and several grenades fell around the retreating Japanese troops, hitting the ground and exploding, followed by screams and smoke.

Zhang Wei put down the gun and looked at the fiery sun, Qiu Qingquan fulfilled his promise, and finally asked for reinforcements from friendly troops, himself and the whole battalion,
