"Report to the battalion commander that a group of Japanese soldiers are outflanking us on the right wing. There are about 200 people."
As soon as Luo Ying heard this, he immediately used a telescope to look at it, and instantly understood where this group of Japs came from;
After the cannon battery was blown up by the Japs' planes, a gap appeared on the right wing, and the Japs who had been blocked by the cannon battery before attacked in a roundabout way.
This is also one of the most commonly used tactics by the Japanese, a strong frontal attack and flanking detours. Now the frontal position has become a scorching battle;
If the Japanese were allowed to turn around, the consequences would be disastrous. Fortunately, he still had a reserve team in hand. Seeing that it was getting dark, he immediately ordered:
"Inform the Third Company to go to the flanks and block the Japanese who are coming around. They must not be allowed to come and make trouble!"
After Luo Ying played the last card, he grabbed a submachine gun and said loudly:
"Brothers from the battalion headquarters, all those who have eggs will follow me to support the first and second companies!"
After Luo Ying finished speaking, he rushed out with a gun in hand. Behind him were more than 80 people from the battalion headquarters. This was already the last force of the independent battalion. Many of them were civilian and logistics personnel. Now they are all combatants. One more person means more power.
On the main position, the Japanese were overwhelmed by the independent battalion's chaotic fighting style. Their advantages in close combat were almost completely restricted, and the Chinese did not fight with them at all.
The Chinese usually work in groups of three, equipped with two rifles and one submachine gun. The two riflemen are responsible for protecting the submachine gunners on the two wings. When the soldiers are in close combat, they rely on the dense bullets of the submachine guns. The combination of distance and near is very effective, completely suppressing the Japanese. Advantages of good melee assassination skills.
Three or four Japanese soldiers screamed and rushed toward the group led by Liu Dayong. Their slender Type 38 rifles each had a bright bayonet on them. The blade was very long and glowed faintly with blue light under the sun.
Koizumi Junzaburo was very confident in his assassination skills. In Manchuria, he practiced bayoneting on living people. He really enjoyed the pleasure of inserting the bayonet into the bodies of Chinese people, which was more enjoyable than killing Chinese people with guns.
When their group encountered Liu Dayong's group, their first reaction was to rush forward and pick out Liu Dayong and others. Four to three, they were full of confidence!
When he saw the Japanese rushing up to fight with them with bayonets, Liu Dayong chuckled and secretly thought that he was bullying me for not having bayonets;
But I have a submachine gun!
When Junzaburo Koizumi gathered his strength and prepared to stab him with a knife, Liu Dayong decisively pulled the trigger, and five or six bullets flew towards Junzaburo Koizumi, instantly punching several bloody holes in his body;
Junzaburo Koizumi fell down very unwillingly. Because the MP28 added a speed machine, it overcomes the shortcomings of the MP18 that can empty the magazine with one shot, allowing the submachine gun to maintain continuous firepower output in close combat.
After knocking down Junzaburo Koizumi, Liu Dayong fired two more bursts and knocked down two more Japs. The remaining Japs were knocked down by the riflemen. In just one breath, their team eliminated 4 Japs. , which made Liu Dayong shout excitedly.
The combination of submachine guns and rifles gave the independent battalion an advantage in close combat. In addition, they were familiar with the terrain. They dug all the trenches extending in all directions. Naturally, they knew it well. When the Japanese entered, it was like they had entered a secret palace and attacked. Very frustrated.
"Kill!"
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, Luo Ying led the last few dozen people from the regiment into the battle circle. Even though they were only about 80 people, they would be the straw that broke the camel's back at the critical moment.
After receiving the support of reinforcements, the morale of the defenders was greatly improved, but the morale of the Japanese dropped sharply, and the formation began to loosen;
The defenders, whose morale had soared, became more and more courageous as they fought. They gradually squeezed the Japanese out of the second position and rushed them all into the first position. Some even withdrew from the first position.
At this moment, hundreds of wooden-handled grenades flew over from the second position and smashed into the group of Japs. The flying shrapnel killed the Japs wantonly. The position was covered with shit-yellow corpses;
"Blow the charge horn and I'm invincible!"
Luo Ying saw that the Japanese were in chaos, and took advantage of the chaos to kill him, so he immediately issued an order to fight back;
The loud bugle sounded on the battlefield, and Major Takada closed his eyes in pain, because he knew that his last hope was shattered...
Independent launched a fierce counterattack against the Japanese in the first position and drove them out in one fell swoop;
A rout on the battlefield is like a plague. Once it breaks out, it is out of control. First, scattered Japanese soldiers turn around and flee, then a large number of rout, and finally it becomes a full-scale rout, with everyone running for their lives, completely ignoring the next enemy. The glory of the third division...
At the Japanese temporary command post, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Kuronaga, almost didn't dare to look at him. After a full-out attack that he had high hopes for, he still failed and retreated miserably!
The number of people who could withdraw from the position was obviously less than half, and the remaining ones were not safe. They were chased and beaten by the Chinese, causing heavy casualties.
The more than 200 Japs who were outflanking were also held back by the Third Company. Then the cannon battery that had been blown up by the planes was also assembled by Ma Biao. They also launched an attack from the Japs' flanks, attacking this group of civilians from both sides. People-oriented devils.
The Japs in the Wing Headquarters were far inferior to the field brigade in terms of combat effectiveness. The Japs who were only supported by a breath before were quickly defeated after being attacked from two sides;
So far, more than a thousand Japanese who participated in the attack were defeated by the independent battalion. After leaving more than 600 corpses, the remaining troops all returned to the position before departure. This round of attacking the Japanese ended in a disastrous defeat.
Major Takada did not choose to retreat in shame, but raised his command sword high and frantically faced the pursuers, but was beaten into a sieve by Li Shuo's shuttle;
Kuronaga felt bitter in his heart. His big gamble ended in a disastrous failure. Without the support of reinforcements, he no longer had the strength to launch an attack on the independent battalion's position.
The current situation is very unfavorable for the Sixth Regiment. Since the Independent Battalion has recaptured the Lion Forest, the First Battalion attacking Luodian has become a lone force. Even if Luodian is captured, it will be difficult to hold it;
If the third brigade attacks Baoshan, it may not be able to win without follow-up reinforcements, and it may be surrounded and annihilated. Therefore, the key point of Lion Forest must be recaptured, which is more important than capturing Baoshan City.
After figuring out the pros and cons, he finally decided to recall the third brigade that attacked Baoshan, and then concentrate on recapturing the Lion Forest.
The independent battalion, which had repelled the Japanese attack, had tried its best and was unable to eliminate the remaining hundreds of Japanese soldiers. It could only retreat as soon as possible and return the troops to their positions.
It wasn't that Luo Ying didn't want to pursue the victory, but that he really couldn't fight anymore. After an afternoon of high-intensity fighting, he himself was exhausted, not to mention the officers and soldiers who had been fighting and needed to stop to replenish some food and water.
Luo Ying ordered that the canned Japanese beef and rice dumplings captured previously be distributed to the officers and soldiers, and they should eat and drink first!
After Luo Ying gave the order, he sat down on an empty ammunition box, casually took out half a pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it, and threw the others to the soldiers cleaning the battlefield.
After the war, a cigarette was better than a living god. Luo Ying took a deep breath and then blew out the smoke rings beautifully;
At this time, the sun has set, and it is impossible for Japanese planes to visit again. The hit rate of naval guns is not very high, and the cost is high, so they are not willing to cover a battalion's position with artillery fire casually.
Therefore, the most difficult period for the independent battalion was over, and the main force should arrive in the evening, so he finally had the time to sit down, smoke a cigarette, and relax.
Li Shuo, who had just finished smoking a cigarette with a face full of smoke, came over, first threw him a Japanese can, and then said:
"The results of the battle have been calculated. Do I need to report them to you now?"
Luo Ying shook his hand and said:
"It's better to wait until I finish the canned food. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat after knowing the casualties of my brothers."
