On the commanding heights, the artillery company was about to turn its guns to support the Second Battalion and Commander Zheng. Political Commissar Bao, who had been paying close attention to the battlefield situation, immediately noticed the little Jaap's unusual movements.
"No! The little devil wants to run away!"
"Platoon Leader Chen, you continue the artillery fire to delay the little Japs. I will take the Third Battalion to support Lao Zheng!"
Political Commissar Bao immediately left the commanding heights and found the Third Battalion, "From the Third Battalion! Follow me!"
The Third Battalion, which acted as a reserve force, had already been prepared to attack. After receiving the order, it quickly moved to support Commander Zheng's blocking position.
On the little devil's side, the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, although they had not yet received orders from Colonel Kuta, were very aware of their situation and immediately stepped up their offensive.
Commander Zheng immediately felt the pressure increase, and the number of casualties began to increase gradually.
Captain Zheng also understood that the little devils were aware of their intentions and were going to fight for their lives!
"Use all your wealth for me! Guard it to the death!"
"Grenade!"
"Comrades, fight with the little devil!"
The little devil launched a crazy charge, wave after wave, bound to destroy the enemy in front of him!
"Ah! Sinai!!!"
"Locust on board!!!"
The soldiers of the supplementary brigade and the machine gun company directly under the regiment roared and fought hand-to-hand with the little Japs who rushed in front of them, regardless of their own safety.
"Little devil, I'm going to kill your ancestor!"
"Come on, grandpa, pull two more back-supporters! It's worth it!"
The soldiers did not retreat even a step, holding on to their position and once again repelling the Japs' attack.
At the same time, the sudden outbreak of the Little Japanese machine gun squadron in the middle caught the second battalion by surprise.
The Third Squadron completely held back the Second Battalion, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion could only watch anxiously as the Japs' group headquarters and machine gun squadron began to evacuate.
Fortunately, the artillery fire from the artillery battery fell in time, effectively delaying the steps of Colonel Kuta and the others.
Colonel Kuta yelled under the gunfire, "Speed up and throw away all unnecessary things!"
The little devils spread out their formations as much as possible and moved quickly against the continuous artillery fire.
Although suppressed by artillery fire from the artillery battery, Colonel Kuta still brought the machine gun squadron and the group headquarters to the front section to join the 1st and 2nd Squadrons.
Colonel Kuta took over the command immediately, and with the heavy machine gun fire support of the machine gun squadron, the charge offensive of the little Japanese infantry became more and more fierce.
The little Japanese and the soldiers got mixed up, limiting the support of the artillery company, and they could only launch artillery attacks on the little Japanese's machine gun squadron as much as possible.
However, under the orders of Colonel Kyuuda, the heavy machine guns and grenade launchers of the machine gun squadron were all hidden on the edge of the hillside and behind bunkers.
Due to the angle restriction, the Qiwu Mountain Cannon could not effectively function and could only rely on mortar attacks.
Moreover, a small team of Japs was sent by Colonel Kuta to climb up the hillside, aiming at the artillery battery located at the commanding heights.
There is no other way, the artillery battery can only allocate part of its firepower to hinder the attack of this team.
For a moment, Captain Zheng was in danger, "Comrades! Hold on!"
"ha!"
Commander Zheng, with a red face, endured the pain in his arm and slashed the little devil in front of him on the shoulder.
But the next second, a kid stabbed him with a bayonet. Commander Zheng managed to knock the bayonet on his chest aside with his sword.
However, he was exhausted and fell backwards to the ground. Captain Zheng rolled like a lazy donkey and avoided another stab from the little devil.
At the critical moment, the little Japanese withdrew his bayonet again and was about to stab him. Several flowers of blood spattered on his body and he fell to the ground.
Political Commissar Bao ran over and helped Commander Zheng up, "Old Zheng, are you injured?!"
"Just let the kid's machine gun bullets scratch his skin. Leave me alone. Quickly, organize the soldiers to fight back the kid!"
Commander Zheng pushed Political Commissar Bao, and Political Commissar Bao grabbed his shoulders tightly, "Don't worry, Old Zheng, we can't lose our position as long as I'm here!"
"Comrades, charge with me!" Political Commissar Bao led the soldiers to rush down the hillside and wipe out all the little Japanese who rushed to the position.
With the addition of the third battalion as a new force, the momentum of the little devil's charge was once again beaten back.
Seeing this scene of failure, Colonel Kuta couldn't help but cursed out this time, "Baga Ya Road! How can it be repaired!!!"
"Shi Zhang, switch to your second squadron! We must win the position!"
"Hey!"
Major Shi Zhang immediately gathered his troops and shouted loudly, "First team! Second team!"
"Hayaku! Form an echelon and alternately cover the jump forward!"
Since rushing and striking was not effective, Major Shi Zhang chose to fight steadily, advance slowly, and finally launch a charge to take down this ridge in one fell swoop.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 769th Regiment are still struggling with the Japs. Both sides are very determined to fight. It is difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time, and they cannot divide their troops to support Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Bao.
The little Japanese changed tactics, and the battle only stopped for a moment. Before the soldiers could take a breath, the little Japanese launched a new offensive again.
This time the Little Japanese took advantage of their own. Although they had no artillery support and had to withstand the artillery fire from the 769th Regiment, their machine guns and infantry marksmanship still had the upper hand.
The two squadrons of the second squadron took turns covering each other, and still suppressed each other with machine gun and rifle firepower.
Although the speed is not fast, it has been advancing steadily, and the casualties are much smaller.
On the contrary, the casualties of the 769th Regiment began to gradually increase.
Captain Zheng, whose arm had been bandaged urgently, immediately found Political Commissar Bao.
"Old Bao! This can't go on like this, we've suffered too many casualties!"
The two of them had no good solution for the time being, so they could only lead the soldiers to resist the Japs' attack tenaciously.
At this time, the battle had been going on for nearly two hours, and it was already dark. Their 769th regiment needs to hold on for at least an hour before Li Yunlong's seventh regiment can outflank them.
Even if it takes more time, Commander Zheng and Political Commissar Bao have made up their minds to hold back the little devil no matter what.
Just when the battle in Yangchang Valley had entered a critical moment, Li Yunlong's 7th Regiment had already solved the two highlands in Nanguan Town and beat up the cavalry squadron halfway.
Li Yunlong looked at half of the little devil's cavalry squadron that had retreated and ran away, and felt pity for him, "Damn it! If I had even a cavalry company in my hand, not a single one of this little devil's cavalry squadron would be able to escape!"
There is no way, the cavalry is too flexible and too fast. It is not easy to eat half a cavalry squadron in one go.
"Da Biao, leave some people behind for me to take care of these horses!"
Later, Li Yunlong once again ordered to go to Yangchang Valley for support, "The whole regiment continues to advance, and I will reach the battlefield within half an hour!"
"Don't let the big fish get away!"
After leaving a squad of veterans and some new recruits to clean up the battlefield and collect the horses, the 7th Regiment began to march quickly again, heading straight for the Yangchang Valley.
Although they had gone through two fierce battles, the Seventh Regiment still maintained a high spirit.
Nearly half an hour passed, and the sounds of fierce gunfire and the roar of artillery fire were already within our ears.
Li Yunlong climbed to the high ground and had a panoramic view of the battlefield.
