Chapter 42 The War Is Unfavorable
The battle was going on in the direction of Xie Chengrui, and when more than 300 Japanese soldiers were intercepted by the two companies of the second battalion arranged on the left flank, Xie Chengrui, who had been waiting for the opportunity, gave the order to let the reserve force fight. Xie Chengrui was even dumbfounded by Liu Goat's move, he didn't expect Xie Chengrui to prepare a new force when the troops were so tight, it seems that the guys in the teaching team are not all straw bales.
In the earth-shattering trumpet, the two companies of the second battalion on the left flank bit the more than 300 Japanese troops who attacked the two of them, and the reserve that Xie Chengrui had pinned hopes on quickly inserted into the back of the Japanese army, and then tightly locked the retreat of the Japanese army.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chengrui did not see the panic after the Japanese troops were now surrounded from the telescope, but quickly seized several firing points that were conducive to machine gun fire, and began to use machine gun scattering to intercept the charging reserve soldiers. "Fucking idiot, you eat dry rice with so many grenades in your hands, and you throw grenades without a cannon." and Tang Cheng, who was watching the battle on the right flank, scolded angrily, if such a way of playing was placed in the 88th Division, the officers who led the command would have been demoted to small soldiers a long time ago.
The three infantry companies of the teaching team actually had no way to take more than 300 Japanese troops, but there was a possibility of being entangled by the other party, which was a bit incredible in Liu Goat's opinion. If it was Liu Shanyang to command this battle, although it may not be possible to completely annihilate this group of Japanese troops, it would be extremely easy to defeat them, of course, the casualties of the second battalion of the teaching team will definitely not be small, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is obvious.
Xie Chengrui's carefully prepared three companies were actually repelled by the Japanese army, and he stood on the position with a telescope in his heart, holding a telescope and looking angrily at the retreating subordinates. The main reason why the flank troops were repelled by the Japanese was that their machine guns did not come in handy, and the guns in the left flank position were all suppressed by the Japanese machine gunners and grenadiers.
Liu Goat whispered in Tang Cheng's ear, "Boy, it's a good idea, the Japanese army seems to have prepared in advance, you look at the trench they occupy, the trenches there are already connected, the Japanese army occupies them, they can attack and retreat, they can defend, and the second battalion has no way to take people." And this group of Japanese soldiers did not panic after being surrounded, but shot calmly, forming cover for each other, obviously assigned in advance, boy, look at it, this is the power of coordinated operations. Looking at the situation on the battlefield with a telescope from afar, listening to Liu Goat's words in his ears, Tang Cheng's heart was pinched together.
A huge explosion suddenly sounded on the position of the left flank, and Xie Chengrui immediately transferred the telescope to the position of the left flank, and the smoke rising after the explosion had completely submerged the position of the left flank, and their casualties were probably not small at this moment. "Tuanza, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly appeared in front of the left flank position, they carried a lot of heavy weapons, and the artillery was also very fierce, and it was the 75 mountain artillery they brought that shelled the left flank position just now, and the brothers were caught off guard all of a sudden, and now the casualties are very large." The battalion commander of the second battalion rushed into Xie Chengrui's command post with gunpowder smoke all over his body, and the news he brought made Xie Chengrui's face even more ugly.
The besieged Japanese troops, about 100 men, charged us again, and now we are attacked from both sides! "Resist, you have to resist!" "Hey, hey, hey" Chu Tianming screamed desperately, but there was no sound on the other side!
Xie Chengrui, who was pale, looked at the left flank position with a telescope, as if the situation was not too bad, at least there was a continuous sound of shooting and gunfire hidden in the smoke on the left flank position, Xie Chengrui knew that it was the soldiers who were still alive on the position firing at the Japanese army. Xie Chengrui's telescope moved to the right flank position where the second company was located, I don't know if it was the Japanese army's deliberate arrangement but really forgot about the second company, and the right flank position where the second company was stationed was silent, completely different from the other positions of the second battalion.
Seeing the changes that had taken place on the battlefield, Liu Goat had already ordered the second company and the platoon of the 51st Division to prepare for battle, and in Liu Goat's view, Xie Chengrui would definitely transfer the second company to support the left flank position. Tang Cheng, who listened to Liu Goat's half-understanding, also thought so, Xie Chengrui has always attached great importance to the Second Company, and this kind of cannon fodder work will naturally fall on the head of the Second Company, and now the situation is critical for his Xie Chengrui's troops.
"What is that company of the Third Battalion doing? Why didn't it start in the rear of the Japanese army? Xie Chengrui looked away from the right flank position where the second company was located, and asked about the company that had been deployed to the rear of the Japanese army. The current second company is only 23 people, even if you count the platoon of the 51st Division, the number has not exceeded 60 people, and this point of pulling people up is nothing more than sending them to death, Xie Chengrui doesn't want to use the second company as cannon fodder now.
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" When Xie Chengrui was still hesitating here, the Japanese army launched another artillery bombardment on the left flank position, and the swarming Japanese troops launched another attack on the left flank position in the face of the rising smoke. The wing of the 3rd Battalion, which Xie Chengrui had been waiting for, finally showed its face, and it was precisely because of their appearance that the Japanese dogs, who were faintly surrounded by the 2nd Battalion, were forced to jump over the wall and launch a new round of attack on the left flank position.
"Okay, gather everyone in the command post, we will go to support the left flank position, and the left flank must not be broken by the Japanese army." Xie Chengrui glanced at the right flank position where the second company was located, but he still had no intention of sending the second company over to help. I don't know if it is Xie Chengrui's premonition that is at work, he always thinks that the Japanese army's actions will not be so simple, and as soon as he comes up, he will find the left flank position with the most troops to attack, which is somewhat inconsistent with the continuation of the war, so Xie Chengrui wants to leave the second company on the right flank position, he is afraid that the Japanese army is playing a trick to attack the west.
The people around Xie Chengrui didn't dare to refute, so they had to follow Xie Chengrui to support the left flank position, but Liu Goat did not receive the order to transfer the second company for a long time, and he was still a little unsure. On the left flank position of the second battalion, the Chinese and Japanese sides had already begun a white-knuckle melee, and the Japanese troops who were entangled with the soldiers of the second battalion were constantly charging towards the position, and Xie Chengrui and his party appeared at the right time.
The teaching corps is also a descendant of the national army, and the guard squad of Xie Chengrui's second regiment is equipped with a German-style P38 submachine gun, which is not very practical in positional warfare, but it is very suitable to use submachine guns in such a close encounter. The dense submachine gun bullets swept a large area of the Japanese troops who rushed into the left flank position, but the number of Japanese troops was too large, and the soldiers who ran out of submachine gun bullets did not have time to change the magazines, so they were thrown over the position by the Japanese soldiers who rushed madly for hand-to-hand combat.
Seeing that the regiment commander personally came up with the guard squad, the machine gunners who had been suppressed by the Japanese on the left flank position also regained their fighting spirit, and after paying a few casualties, several light and heavy machine guns on the left flank position resumed their roar. Even after two rounds of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, there were still about one or more companies of soldiers left on the left flank position, and now with the guard squad brought by Xie Chengrui, after obtaining machine gun fire, the morale-boosting teaching team soldiers on the left flank position quickly pushed the Japanese army back.
"This surnamed Xie is not afraid of death, but it's a little interesting." From the telescope, I saw that the Japanese troops who had attacked the left flank position were pushed back, and Liu Goat, who was lying on the right flank position, was full of praise for Xie Chengrui, and seemed to have completely forgotten that Xie Chengrui had taken the second company to defend the forward position. Tang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes at Liu Goat, and said in his heart that this person is a person who doesn't remember to eat, I'm afraid that Xie Chengrui will toss the entire second company, as long as Liu Goat transfers a few recruits or promotes his rank, it is estimated that Liu Goat's snot is bubbling up.
Liu Goat, who had been keeping an eye on the left flank position with a telescope, of course didn't know what Tang Cheng was thinking, and Tang Cheng wouldn't say it in front of him, but Zhou Fu, who was lying in the trench on his back, saw Tang Cheng's expression at this time, so he said with a smile, "Boy, I told you a long time ago, don't follow our company commander too closely, be careful that he takes you in exchange for money to buy wine and drink." Tang Cheng directly chose to ignore Zhou Fu's jokes, and Liu Goat rarely did not scold Zhou Fu, which made Zhou Fu feel a little bored.
There was still silence on the right flank position where the second company was located, and all the men were crouching in the trenches according to the order, even if there was no attack from the Japanese here, all the men of the second company, including those of the 51st Division, still tried to keep quiet. Liu goat, who was waiting for a little dozing, suddenly had round eyes, and where the telescope could see, Liu goat suddenly saw a small piece of earthy yellow. , This is the battlefield, and it is not strange that the same earthy yellow color as the loess appears, but it is strange that when Liu Goat looked at the earthy yellow again, the earthy yellow actually disappeared magically. In order to confirm that he was not mistaken, Liu Goat even rubbed his eyes, but unfortunately the earthy yellow color that appeared in the telescope just now was really gone, and Liu Goat's heart immediately rose, which was not a good sign.
Slowly squatting down, Liu Goat whispered to Zhou Fu, who was lying in the trench on his back, "Tell the brothers to prepare for battle, I guess there are Japanese soldiers coming towards us, these little devils can really do everything, and they still fucking pretend to be weeds, and watch Lao Tzu bring them a fire to burn the company camp." Liu Goat looked cautiously with the telescope for a long time just now, and finally made sure that he didn't see the dazzle just now, he did see a piece of earthy yellow clothing corner, and the clothing corner belonged to a Japanese soldier, these Japanese soldiers had weeds planted in their bodies, and they were touching the right flank position of the second company little by little.
