Chapter 521: Chengjiazhuang Fierce Battle
An infantry squadron of more than 100 devil soldiers under the command of the captain squadron leader quickly advanced towards the core position in the village, the captain squadron leader felt that under the personal command of Kuno Village Momoyo, the Chinese troops had completely lost confidence in resistance, so they would withdraw, and the captain squadron leader did not want to lose the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Chengjiazhuang Village, so he immediately issued an order to pursue.
More than 100 devil soldiers quickly began to advance along the communication trenches, but although they wanted to quickly catch up with the evacuated Eighth Route Army troops, the Japanese troops maintained a certain vigilance, they covered each other's advance, and moved very carefully, for fear of being attacked by the Chinese troops.
The Japanese infantry squadron soon entered the village, and the captain squadron leader was in the rear to direct the troops, holding a telescope and constantly checking the situation.
"The first squad quickly attacked and advanced, the second squad and the third squad covered on both sides, and we must be careful of the ambush of the Zhina troops, and the engineer squad will immediately detect mines." The captain squadron leader quickly gave the order, but as he got closer to the core position, the captain became more and more cautious.
Three infantry squads and an engineer squad carried out the operation, and more than a dozen Japanese engineers carried out mine detection with equipment, and the Japanese infantry cautiously followed behind them to take cover.
On the core position, more than 200 people of the independent regiment have been assembled, the only two heavy machine guns have also been deployed on both sides of the position, grenadiers and light machine guns have also been completely deployed everywhere on the position, and the regiment commander Zhong Jian is holding a telescope in his left hand and a shell gun in his right hand, and his face is full of solemn expressions.
An infantry squadron of the Japanese army came to the core position, Zhong Jian knew that the time to test the independent regiment had come, if more than 200 people could not eat the Japanese infantry, the core position would be occupied by the Japanese army, and the position of Chengjiazhuang Village would also fall into the hands of the Japanese army.
Once the village of Chengjiazhuang fell into the hands of the Japanese army, then the Japanese troops could calmly go to Donghui Town, thus posing a threat to the second battle group.
"Zhiqiang, the core position must be held, if we can't hold the position here, Chengjiazhuang Village will lose its role in blocking the Japanese troops, and the Japanese troops will go directly to Donghui Town from here, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhong Jian looked at Hong Zhiqiang beside him, and he said in a serious tone.
"Regiment commander, don't worry, the officers and soldiers of our independent regiment are not bad, even if they die, we will leave the little devil here." Hong Zhiqiang said in a firm tone.
As the Japanese troops got closer and closer to the core position, Zhong Jian began to give the order to shoot, several light and heavy machine guns began to shoot, and one bullet after another quickly hit the devil soldiers, and the devil soldiers who were advancing cautiously were only killed by five devil soldiers, and the rest of the devil soldiers immediately lay on the ground to dodge.
The Japanese army's crooked light machine guns and grenadiers were quickly erected, bullets and miniature grenades were fired at the position, and dozens of devil soldiers quickly moved forward with rifles.
At the same time as the gunfire rang out in the core position in the village, Yue Wu quickly set off with his first battalion, and they began to capture the positions at the head of each village to prevent all the Japanese troops outside the village from entering the core position, and at the same time Yue Wu dispatched two Czech light machine guns and a Type 89 grenadier to support the operation of the core position in the village.
Outside the village, Nanjiro Araki, who commanded the 4th Brigade to fight, looked towards the village with a telescope, and after hearing the gunshots, Nanjiro Araki realized that the infantry squadron that had entered the village was in an ambush, and a somewhat contemptuous smile appeared on his face.
"The second squadron and the third squadron quickly launched a surprise attack to support the fourth squadron in the operation, and this time the troops must occupy the positions in the village in one fell swoop." Nanjiro Araki immediately gave the order.
The ghost soldiers of the two infantry squadrons immediately began to act, and they marched towards the village, but Yue Wu's first battalion began to shoot, blocking their advance.
Fierce fighting began again, and the village of Chengjiazhuang began to fall into a fierce gunfire fire.
"Give me a hard beating." Hong Zhiqiang, commander of the first battalion of the Independent Regiment, shouted loudly, and a Makqin heavy machine gun shooter pulled the trigger, and bullets were fired towards the Japanese soldiers like rain.
The fighters of the Independent Regiment had already begun to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese soldiers, with bayonets constantly colliding and the sound of "clanging" metal crashing.
The Japanese army was trained to fight the stabbing skills, and their recruits would even use prisoners of war and innocent Chinese civilians to practice the stabbing skills, in such a situation, the Japanese stabbing level was very high, and the Chinese troops were rarely able to fight one-on-one with the Japanese soldiers and win.
The soldiers of the independent regiment gradually couldn't withstand the stabbing of the devil soldiers, and more than thirty soldiers fell to the ground, their eyes widened, bright red blood continued to flow out of their wounds, and there were too many unwilling expressions on their faces.
Hong Zhiqiang's whole body was covered in blood, and this blood had begun to coagulate, even Hong Zhiqiang himself couldn't tell whether the blood was his own or the devil's soldier.
With a "poof", a Japanese second lieutenant brandished a saber and stabbed directly behind Hong Zhiqiang, seeing that Hong Zhiqiang's reserve was about to be stabbed by the sharp tip of the saber, but at this time, a soldier immediately came behind Hong Zhiqiang, and the soldier pushed Hong Zhiqiang away.
The Japanese second lieutenant's saber stabbed directly into the soldier's heart, the soldier's body fell to the ground softly, blood flowed out along the blade of the saber, the Japanese second lieutenant sneered, and he slowly pulled out the saber.
Hong Zhiqiang, who had saved the day, looked at the fallen soldier in a daze, he clenched the broadsword with both hands, and slashed directly at the Japanese second lieutenant.
"Da Da Da!" A string of bullets came from behind, and a Japanese shooter, hiding behind a broken wall, aimed his light machine gun at the soldiers of the Separate Regiment, and fired from time to time.
Three bullets hit Hong Zhiqiang, these three bullets hit Hong Zhiqiang's chest directly, and Hong Zhiqiang's body slashed towards the Japanese second lieutenant couldn't help but pause, that is, at this point, the Japanese second lieutenant's saber stabbed into Hong Zhiqiang's heart, Hong Zhiqiang's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he had an angry expression on his face.
Even though his body was severely damaged, Hong Zhiqiang still used his last strength, he brandished a big knife with both hands and slashed directly at the neck of the Japanese second lieutenant.
The head of the Japanese second lieutenant was directly cut off, the round head began to roll on the ground, and the headless body of the Japanese second lieutenant slowly fell to the ground.
After dealing with the Japanese second lieutenant, Hong Zhiqiang couldn't hold on, and his body also collapsed, lying on the ground motionless.
