When they ran out of the village in one breath, they heard the sound of gunfire everywhere around them, but the two squadron leaders found that it was not safe there. When the two of them wanted to turn around and move in the direction of Jiamusi, they were blocked by the third company and the second platoon of the reconnaissance battalion that was temporarily reinforced to the second brigade.

At this time, the reconnaissance battalion, which had completed the reloading, except for some sniper rifles, had all automatic weapons up and down. Although there was only one platoon of troops, the infantry firepower alone was more than enough to withstand a squadron of Japanese troops.

Although it was a night encounter, in front of these specially trained scouts, half of the Japanese guard squadron was not even able to fight back.

The Japanese troops, who had nothing to hide in the face of the flares fired by the opponent, although they desperately resisted and tried to cover the commander's breakthrough, but because of the disparity in tactics, in less than 20 minutes, the remaining half of the guard squadron around Kikuro Aotsu had been killed, and only more than 20 people remained.

These Japanese soldiers have never seen such troops, as long as they fire, even if the fire of the Type 38 rifle is very small, it is accurately captured by the other side. As long as he fires one shot, he will return a dozen bullets, or even dozens of rounds. From the dense rain of bullets that the opponent paid tribute to themselves, these Japanese soldiers even had a feeling that the opponents were all light machine guns.

Not to mention its extremely fierce firepower, the accuracy of night shooting is also quite amazing. Although it was assisted by flares, it was almost a one-shot shot with an accuracy that even well-trained Japanese soldiers could not do.

The light machine gun had just been mounted here, and before a few rounds had been fired, the machine gunner was knocked down by the opponent with a single shot. Even if he barely maintained firing, he was suppressed by the other party. I don't know where the bullets have gone. However, the opponent's three light machine guns were extremely tricky, and the crossfire formed suppressed the Japanese troops in a depression outside Junde Village.

Trapped in a small depression, looking at the only remaining 20 people around him, he knew that he would be difficult to survive today, and he didn't know that the captain of the 70th Wing, Masao Iwabe, had broken the record, and Aotsu Kikuro Osa, who didn't want to be the first captured officer of the Japanese army, took out his own gun, pointed the bullet on the top of his head, and pulled the trigger cleanly.

This time, Kikuro Aotsu, who used a Browning pistol captured in the Kannai battlefield, was lucky not to commit the mistake of his colleague's pistol not firing at a critical time. Accompanied by the sound of dense rifle machine gun fire, the crisp sound of a pistol shot that seemed extremely abrupt, Kikuro Aozu did not follow in the footsteps of Iwabe Masao who was captured alive, and succeeded in killing Chengren.

After the reconnaissance platoon that had broken into the hollow of more than 20 remnants of Japanese resistance and saw the corpse of Kikuro Aotsu, the reconnaissance platoon, which arrived one step late, could not help but regret that the duck that was almost in hand had flown again.

They had already sensed that there must be important people in this small group of Japanese troops in their desperate resistance, otherwise they had the spare time to attack the Japanese troops who were no more than half a squadron? With the suicide of Kikuro Aotsu, the regimental headquarters of the 25th Division can be said to have been wiped out.

It's just chagrin and chagrin, but people are already dead, and they can't carry a dead person back, right? The extremely disappointed reconnaissance platoon could only tear off the collar badge of Aotsu Daisa, pick up his saber and pistol and go back to the business.

At the same time that Liu Changshun attacked Junde, along with the raging fire ignited by the incendiary bombs fired by the artillery, Liu Changshun's second brigade and three regiments attacked on all fronts, and suddenly launched a full-line attack from the flank of the 24th Division. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the general Shi line, who had finally calmed down, once again erupted in dense gunfire and shouts of killing.

At the same time that Liu Changshun attacked on all fronts, Wang Guangyu concentrated all the forces at hand and launched a full-front counterattack against the 40th Wing from the front line of Jiangjunshi. Although Wang Guangyu's troops suffered heavy casualties after several days of fierce fighting, he could only barely concentrate most of the regiment before the supplementary troops arrived.

However, after Wang Guangyu received the order jointly issued by Yang Zhen and Guo Bingxun to counterattack from the front to contain part of the strength of the 40th Wing in response to Liu Changshun's battle, he was very dissatisfied. Before the battle, Wang Guangyu privately said to several regiment commanders: "The first brigade has been gnawing bones these days. After so many days of fighting, the two main regiments were added together, and most of the regiment remained. ”

"We have fewer people, but our combat effectiveness has not been lost. Even if Lao Tzu only has half a regiment left, it is still the first brigade. Now let us assist, carry out the task of containment, and cooperate with their second brigade attack, isn't the commander a little underestimated? ”

"Why did Lao Tzu suffer from his Liu Changshun's bird anger? His second brigade is now fully manned, but do they have the combat effectiveness of our first brigade? Why can we only play assists and let him Liu Changshun take advantage of our light to play the main attack? Assists? I don't believe in evil, grandma's, whoever can beat down first will be the main attacker. ”

"The three of you will disgrace Lao Tzu, and the battle will start in a while, don't care if the main attack is not the main attack, and the assist is not assisted. There was a gunshot there, so I beat Lao Tzu there hard. It's best to tell me about Komatsuzaki Rio's headquarters. I want to see who is the main attacker? ”

Seeing that Wang Guangyu, who has always been steady, has the demeanor of a general, and never swears, actually opened his mouth and shut up his grandmother, but several of his subordinates were frightened. I thought to myself, what kind of commander is this, and what kind of soldiers are brought by him. The commander, who has always been steady in peacetime, is full of old words when he starts a battle, and now his own brigade commander has become like this.

For Wang Guangyu's deployment of turning the assist into a disguised main attack without authorization, several regiment commanders were not reluctant. When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top, and there was a brigade commander on top, even if the commander was angry, he couldn't talk about his love. It's just that according to the brigade commander's style of play, the troops on hand are really insufficient.

After hesitating for a moment, He Zhishan, the current commander of the first brigade and the first regiment of the first regiment of the Jidong Military Region and Wang Guangyu's old subordinate, opened his mouth and said: "Brigade commander, we don't have any opinions on your deployment. It's just that in addition to the three regiments that are still shelf regiments, the first regiment and the second regiment together are only one and a half battalions, that is, the guard company and the engineer company are added, and the total strength is only seven companies. ”

"That's it, we still counted all the lightly wounded who could continue to participate in the war, and the original formation was disrupted, and all the soldiers who could still fight were added to the front-line company. Otherwise, we won't be able to muster even seven companies. In the past few days, the fight has been too fierce, and the casualties of the first and second regiments are too great. ”

"Especially our regiment, now we can hardly put together a complete company, and several companies have been wiped out. How can such a small number of troops compete for business with the Second Brigade? If you insist on turning the assist into the main attack, the brigade commander will not be able to complete the task you have given us with the current strength of the force. ”

Speaking of this, He Zhishan was silent for a moment and said, "Unless the existing three formed companies of the three regiments are transferred out and temporarily organized into a battalion to participate in the battle." The three regiments were shelf regiments, and each battalion had a full company, and the others were shelf companies. However, each shelf also has a full row inside. ”

"Although the third regiment is a shelf regiment, his three formed companies are all from old troops. Not to mention the strong combat effectiveness, the equipment is not inferior to the one, two, or two regiments. The transfer of these three companies can at least partially make up for the lack of troops. ”

He Zhishan's words, Wang Guangyu is very clear. As a brigade commander, he still knows how many soldiers he has under his command now, and the number of combat casualties in the previous days. However, Wang Guangyu hesitated about He Zhishan's proposal to transfer cadres from the Third Regiment.

Due to the fact that there is still a partial shortage of supplementary soldiers, and the number of grassroots cadres has been insufficient. Therefore, although the third regiment of the three brigades is a fully trained unit, it is all a shelf regiment. Their main day-to-day role is to train qualified junior officers and squad leaders for the three brigades together with the Military Region Training Team.

The only difference is that the military region's training team now trains commanders at and above the company level and political workers, and the original training function of cadres at the squad and platoon level has all been transferred to this regiment. The three companies and six platoons that were retained were actually the platoon commanders and squad leaders' teaching teams, all of which were future advance cadres. Except for some of the people who need to be transferred to make up for the battle losses of the other two regiments, the rest of the people are also the backbone of the future third regiment.

When it is necessary to expand the troops in wartime, this frame regiment can use the existing basic cadres as the backbone, and after replenishing the supplementary troops, it can be directly upgraded to the main force. As the first unit to be expanded among the three infantry brigades, Liu Changshun's 2nd Brigade and 6th Regiment adopted this method to directly upgrade from a shelf regiment to a full-fledged regiment.

In order to retain a certain backbone during the operation, Yang Zhen has repeatedly emphasized that before this shelf regiment is expanded into a reorganized regiment, no matter how dangerous it is or how short the number of troops is, it is strictly forbidden to use it without the approval of the general headquarters. At present, to use this shelf group, which Yang Zhen strictly prohibits unauthorized use, Wang Guangyu is somewhat hesitant.

Seeing that Wang Guangyu was slightly hesitant, He Zhishan, who knew what he was hesitating about, pondered for a while and said, "Brigade commander, otherwise." In addition to leaving one platoon of the three full companies of the three regiments to continue to serve as seeds, the remaining two platoons were transferred and organized into two companies to participate in the battle. ”

After pondering for a while, knowing that he didn't want to strengthen the first-line company, and even the sappers on hand were only seven companies, Wang Guangyu, who was obviously lacking in strength, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to what you said, six platoons were temporarily transferred from the third regiment and temporarily organized into two companies to strengthen the first regiment and the second regiment respectively." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Guangyu said to He Zhishan, the head of the first regiment, and Ma Fengqi, the commander of the second regiment: "But you two remember for me, this is Lao Tzu's determination to risk a big punishment on his back. These two are not connected to the critical time, don't use them lightly, you two had better use them as reserves. If you give me these two companies, be careful that I will skin you when I come back. ”

Wang Guangyu's last sentence was almost squeezed out of his teeth, and the two regiment commanders, who knew that the brigade commander had made a lot of determination, looked at each other and said: "Please rest assured, the brigade commander, we guarantee that we will not use these two companies lightly until the most critical moment." ”

Regarding the assurances of the two people, Wang Guangyu waved his hand without interest and said: "The commander often says that it is only when the donkey is on the battlefield that the horse is slippery. After the general attack is launched, you have to fight for Lao Tzu's face. Lao Tzu took such a big risk and handed over so many future squad and platoon cadres to you, if you mess up the pot for me, what will I explain to the commander? ”

Wang Guangyu took the risk of Aiyu and used part of the troops of the three regiments, which were actually the teaching team, but the effect achieved was not as simple as making up for the lack of troops. As the squad and platoon cadre training team of the first brigade, all of them are veterans, and the combat effectiveness of these platoons is indeed not comparable to that of the supplementary regiment, and those recruits who have completed full training but are extremely lacking in combat experience can be compared. After the attack of the 1st Brigade, the two companies composed of these platoons almost became the 1st Brigade of the old army, which suffered heavy losses, plus the firefighting team. When the attack was blocked, they were transferred there. It was also they who took the lead in tearing apart the defense of the Forty Wings when they could not attack for a long time. The assist was changed to the main attack brigade without authorization, and in this counterattack, one-third of the combat exploits were played by them.

Liu Changshun did not even leave a single reserve, and threw all three regiments into battle in one go. And the main forces of the three regiments were all thrown into the front line of General Stone. Wang Guangyu also put all the power at hand into the attack. Under the attack of two people who are like crazy tigers and leave no room for life, the unlucky one is naturally the 40th Wing of the Japanese Army.

In fact, as soon as Yang Zhen's cannon sound of counterattack on the whole line sounded, he didn't think that the opponent who had been pressed by his fierce offensive and could only defend passively, and the strength of the comprehensive counterattack was suddenly defeated.

Due to the dispute between Hiroshi Nemoto and Kikuro Aotsu, when Yang Zhen's all-out counterattack in advance had begun, Rio Komatsuzaki had not received any information from the division.

When the opponent's dense artillery shells smashed into the various battlefields, garrisons, and troop gathering places of the 40th Wing, Komatsuzaki Rio Osa thought that the opponent had launched another tactical counterattack. It was only after discovering that the shells falling on his head were getting denser and denser that he realized that this was not a tactical counterattack commonly used by the opponent, but a counterattack on the whole front.

When the beaten and scrambled Komatsuzaki Rio Osa organized his troops to move to the defense on the spot, he found that his position had been thrown into disarray by the opponent's large-scale artillery bombardment. In addition to having a telephone line with the artillery, he was able to barely communicate with him, and almost all wired and wireless communication between himself and his subordinate troops, especially those on the front line, was completely cut off. The most crucial thing is that the first qiē communication with the division headquarters has been completely cut off.

Although it was unable to get in touch with the division headquarters for a long time, all communications with the three infantry brigades under it were cut off. There were no other troops on hand other than the wing guard squadron. However, Komatsuzaki Rio Osa is a top student from the Japanese Army University, but he does not show any panic.

He was quite confident in his troops. Even if he was knocked out of contact with his superiors by his opponents, he believed that the brave Imperial warriors under his command would still fight under the command of their respective troop commanders.

It's just that when he picked up the phone with a calm face to give his subordinates a wing of the same size, and it was also the artilleryman who could barely keep in touch at present, and had actually started to counterattack on his own, when the counterattack order was given, the report on the other end of the phone, which seemed very unclear in the explosion of the shells, made his face instantly pale.
