In the Lion Grove, Captain Kurunaga of the Sixth Regiment had just finished a delicious lunch and was about to take a rest. Marching under the scorching sun at noon would be fatal.
Suddenly he heard the sound of artillery shells piercing the sky. As a battlefield veteran, he was very sensitive to artillery shell attacks. His first reaction was to do something bad, and then he lay down on the ground reflexively. Compared with the lethality of the shock wave, the shrapnel The damage is more direct.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two 82mm mortar shells fell squarely into the Japanese ammunition pile. Osaka Kuronaga turned pale with fright when he saw the direction in which the shells exploded. There were piles of combat supplies needed by the regiment for a week, including many. Most of it is ammunition.
He was very lucky that the explosion just now did not cause the ammunition to explode, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous;
Unfortunately, he was happy a little too early. Before he could react, two more artillery shells flew towards the ammunition pile, which scared the old man Kuranaga so much that he could only pray for Amaterasu's protection.
It’s just that he seems to have forgotten that this is China, and the gods of China have the final say. What the hell, Amaterasu is only qualified to collect corpses for them;
This time he did not disappoint the old Japanese. After the two explosions, a series of explosions followed. The shelling finally triggered the explosion of the ammunition pile.
The enemy's position suddenly seemed like a fireworks display, with explosions everywhere, warheads and shrapnel flying everywhere, knocking down the panicked Japanese one by one.
"Bagaya road, enemy attack! South! Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
The old Japanese man Kurunaga finally figured out which direction the shells were flying from, but unfortunately he could not stop the shells flying towards the Japanese supplies pile one after another. The attacker's intention was obvious, which was to cause maximum chaos to the Japanese soldiers.
Before the explosion stopped, Luo Ying shouted loudly:
"Blow the charge! Fight with me!"
After roaring, they rushed out first. They only had a battalion of more than 600 troops. They had to make the momentum big enough so that the Japanese could not figure out how many people there were, and accelerate the chaos of the Japanese.
When the bugles sounded one by one, the whole battalion, one by one, shouted slogans and attacked the Japanese from the left, center and right. Those who didn't know thought there were thousands of them.
It was only a few hundred meters from the starting position to the Lion Forest where the Japs were. The high-speed sprint took only two or three minutes. Most of the Japs in the chaos did not react. Only a 92-heavy machine gun was firing. Several soldiers from the independent battalion rushed to the front and mopped them down.
One machine gun alone obviously couldn't stop the charge of hundreds of people. Moreover, they were already targeted by the mortars of the machine gun company. Two mortar shells roared and hit behind them. After the explosion, a machine gun team All the Japanese were put down and not a single one was left.
Without the suppression of machine guns, the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion quickly rushed to the Japs' position. They fired at the Japs with MP28s in their hands, often knocking down several Japs with one long shot.
The independent battalion has the highest share of submachine guns. After the heavy punch plan ended, although some submachine guns were returned, hundreds of them were still retained, basically two to three per squad. This greatly enhanced the independent battalion's assault capability;
If this were not the case, he would not dare to lead a battalion to attack the position of a Japanese brigade. The power of continuous fire weapons in a melee is quite huge, especially when the Japanese are gathered together, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Luo Ying had already used up two magazines, and casually took out the third magazine. This thing was enjoyable to shoot, but it was useless bullets, and even more useless Japanese!
The Japanese, who were attacked from three sides by the independent battalion, were quickly defeated. They fled in the direction of Colonel Kurunaga, the commander of the regiment, and few people stopped to resist.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion, led by Luo Ying, chased and beat the Japanese behind, constantly knocking down the Japanese who fell behind one after another;
Seeing that there was no way he could do anything, in order to avoid the annihilation of the entire army, Colonel Kuronaga very wisely issued the order to turn in and fled towards the river beach landing site.
Luo Ying and others chased for several miles and kept most of the defeated Japanese behind. Then they issued an order to stop the pursuit. If they continued to pursue, they would chase them into the Japanese's den.
The independent battalion retreated as soon as it was ready, retreated to Lion Forest, and then sent a company to clean up the Japanese skirmishers on the periphery. The main force dug fortifications on the basis of the original position.
This kind of civil fortification cannot completely block the Japanese naval guns and aerial bombs, but it is better than nothing.
The civil fortifications of the independent battalion are not the single linear fortifications dug by the previous garrison. Their fortifications are three horizontal and four vertical, mixed with a large number of cat holes and anti-gun holes. If it is not a large-caliber naval gun, A direct hit, otherwise it would be quite safe to hide inside.
"Brothers, the shell-proof hole must be dug deep and reinforced with wooden stakes. If you sweat more now, you will bleed less when the Japanese shells come over."
The company and platoon leaders kept shouting that it was not difficult to capture the Lion Forest, but holding the position before the arrival of the main force was the most difficult. The Japanese would not leave them much time.
In the core position, Li Shuo, who was responsible for counting the results, came over and reported:
"More than 180 Japanese corpses were found, and some were quickly blown to pieces. It is estimated that more than 200 enemies were annihilated. These Japanese soldiers ran too fast, and they were not at all like their stubborn style."
Luo Ying shook his head and said:
"The Japanese are not stupid and will not stand there waiting for us to kill them. This battle can only be a rout. Our troops are limited and it is impossible to severely damage them or annihilate them all;
If we include the lightly wounded, the Japanese casualties should reach 300. Are the casualties of the brothers high? "
Although he did not completely wipe out the Japanese, he was obviously in a good mood. The reason is still here. The independent battalion has never fought such an easy battle. If you report it to the top, you may not believe it. Judging from the casualty ratio alone, this is quite good. of divine drama.
Li Shuo replied excitedly:
"Not big. The Japanese were defeated with little resistance. We chased them most of the time and beat them. There were only more than 30 casualties in total, of which only 12 were killed."
Luo Ying also nodded with great satisfaction. This battle was fought quickly. He used the chaos caused by the explosion of the Japanese supplies pile to defeat the panicked Japanese in one fell swoop. He could accept such a result.
Then Luo Ying asked about the seizure situation, and Li Shuo replied with all the details:
“Not all the Japanese supplies were destroyed, but they were all daily necessities. There were only a few boxes of ammunition left, and almost all were destroyed.
They captured 8 92 heavy machine guns, 4 81mm mortars, and 2 92 infantry guns. The Japanese took almost none of these heavy equipment with them when they fled, but there were no artillery shells. Only two boxes of 92 infantry shells were left. It's no different from a box of mortar shells than a fire stick.
In addition, 5 light machine guns, more than 120 rifles, more than 20,000 rounds of various weapons carried by the Japanese, more than 500 grenades, and a large number of individual soldier equipment were also seized;
There are more than 100 boxes of various types of support materials. This should be the support of a Japanese regiment. They will make a fortune! "
After hearing this, Luo Ying couldn't help but praise it. The baggage of a Japanese regiment was very large. Even a part of it was enough to consume the independent battalion for several days;
The canned beef and rice dumplings provided by the Japanese in the early days were quite good, and much more fragrant than the dry food carried by the independent camp.
"Li Shuo, quickly ask the brothers to hide the loot separately in the anti-gun caves, and store the bullets separately;
The cannon and artillery shells were handed over to the machine gun company. Don't let the Japanese cannons blow them up. "
