Naturally, the situation of the Eighth Route Army's fierce battle with the Japanese troops who escaped from the defense area on the outside quickly reached the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was dumbfounded again, "Commander, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are so brave. They used us to block the Japanese army and finally escaped the Japanese pursuit, but they actually dare to fight back? Are these guys really not afraid of death?"
Chu Yunfei lamented, "Brother Ligong, we have lost our grace this time."
"What do you mean by these words?"
"Previously, the Eighth Route Army fought to the death with the Bantian Regiment in Cangyunling. We stood idly by on the top of the city tower, but now we are fighting to the death with the Japanese army. The Eighth Route Army that had escaped came back. They did not choose to stand by and watch, but cooperated with us. Killing the enemy together, with such ambition and courage, we have already fallen behind!"
Fang Ligong was speechless for a moment, but what Chu Yunfei said was right.
There is a sentence that Fang Ligong is actually holding in his heart, but he just can't say it out... Why not stop the attack, let the Japanese in the defense area rush out, and fight with this group of Eighth Route Army to death? In this way, the Japanese aggressors can be injured, the 358th Regiment can avoid casualties, and can also kill people with a borrowed knife, eliminating the Chairman's henchman. Isn't this three birds with one stone?
However, the words "soldiers should have backbone" seemed to still echo in Fang Ligong's ears. Looking at Chu Yunfei, the regiment leader with a determined look on his face, Fang Ligong didn't have the nerve to speak.
It's still okay to slander someone with a few words of contempt.
"Regiment seat, according to the situation reported back from the observation post, the Japanese troops who broke out of our defense area were about a large group of troops. There will be more Japanese troops rushing out later. The quality of the Eighth Route Army soldiers is low and the equipment is lacking. Even if they fight back, they may not be able to fight back. The enemy’s opponent!”
This sentence reminded Chu Yunfei, and Chu Yunfei said decisively: "Brother Ligong is right, the Eighth Route Army has benevolent intentions. We have already lost face once, and we cannot lose face again."
"Signal Corps, pass the order to strengthen the artillery offensive. In addition, let the first battalion send a company to detour from the right wing and block the second node for me. The Japanese must not be allowed to pass."
"Yes!" the communications soldier responded quickly.
Fang Ligong: "..."
It really feels like shooting yourself in the foot... Danzao, that's not what I meant...
"Young Master!" Fang Ligong's mouth was full of bitterness.
Outside the defense zone.
The main force of the 771st Regiment fought fiercely with the Japanese army from the front, while Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment respectively, and quickly launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army from the left and right wings.
As expected of old comrades with a tacit understanding, the two of them adopted exactly the same tactics.
First, grenades and mortars were used to attack the Japanese army to cover the infantry charge (Li Yunlong temporarily borrowed the mortar from Commander Xu), and then the infantry charge opened the situation with light machine gun bursts, followed by grenade launchers. The team and the bombardment team followed up at the same time. After approaching the Japanese army within 200 meters, they took the lead in bombarding with grenade cannons. After approaching the charging distance of 30 meters, the bombardment team threw a large number of grenades, completely opening up the situation.
The 771st Regiment, fighting in the front, used full firepower to cover the flank assaults of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment to the greatest extent.
I have to say that this move between Li Yunlong and Kong Jie is very practical.
This is the best tactic to avoid the enemy's marksmanship advantage.
After all, judging from the current strength of the troops, the main strength of the three regiments including Li Yunlong is even close to five times that of the Japanese brigade.
No matter how powerful a kid is, holding a rifle against five Eighth Route Army soldiers who also hold rifles will still lead to death.
In addition, as soon as the charge started, the soldiers of Li Yunlong's New Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment showed the wildness of wolves.
In the loud charge horn, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the left and right wings were like savage beasts, killing the Japanese prostrate on the ground.
Mortar fire provided long-range cover, and light machine gun fire served as the tip of the charge, completely tearing open gaps in the Japanese defense.
The charging distance between the two sides was originally less than 300 meters, and the firepower configuration of the hastily withdrawn Japanese brigade was extremely limited.
Captain Xu, who was facing a head-on confrontation, seized the fleeting opportunity. When the Japanese brigade was dividing its troops to deal with the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment charging from the left and right wings, Captain Xu gave an order and the main force of the 771st Regiment faced from the front. The Japanese army launched an all-out assault.
Now the Japanese were also in panic, and were charged from three sides by nearly five times their own force.
The team itself is not a regular infantry brigade, and no one can withstand it.
When the bombing groups of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment started throwing grenades, in less than ten seconds, hundreds of grenades were thrown at the area where the Japanese were crawling and hiding. As the grenades swaying in the air fell, the area was covered. In the explosive explosion, mud flew and the Japanese invaders screamed.
Wang Leihu, the battalion commander of the Independent Regiment, and Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander of the New Regiment, each led a death squad and took the lead in breaking into the Japanese group and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese aggressors.
A brutal hand-to-hand battle is imminent.
After the two sides quickly approached each other, the Japs' advantage in marksmanship was completely lost.
In a three-sided attack, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong didn't know how to follow the rules of the little devil. They roared orders, stabbed hard, and shot again.
In Li Yunlong's original words, "I have never fought such a happy battle for wealth. Five people are fighting for one. If you let some stupid little devils do it to you, let me go home and take care of my children!"
Kong Jie, who was holding a Czech-style rifle, charged and roared: "After the battle, the independent regiment will kill another pig. Those who kill the Japanese will eat meat. Brothers, whether you can eat meat depends on you." I’m very capable!”
After the words fell, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment became even more crazy.
Especially those who didn't eat meat last time. If they can't eat meat this time, they will lose their face.
You must know that there are only a thousand or so Japs in front of you. There are more wolves and less meat. They rush slowly, and they may not even be able to distinguish a Japs hair.
Stimulated by Kong Jie's pork, the Independent Regiment's killing speed was actually much faster than that of the New Regiment.
Li Yunlong saw that he was about to lose, and shouted: "The New Regiment also kills pigs. The rules are the same as those of the Independent Regiment. Brothers, kill -"
Captain Xu, who was leading the charge from the front, had black lines all over his head.
How could Kong Jie and Li Yunlong look like the captains of a regular regiment of the Eighth Route Army? Rather like a bandit leader who robbed homes and homes.
But it has to be said that these words of gangsterism aroused the bloody spirit of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment. On the other hand, the 771st Regiment, although it was the main force, had a much lower morale. few.
At this point, with the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese fighting hand to hand, there was no suspense in the battle.
Like a hungry wolf attacking its prey, under the frantic killing spree of soldiers from the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment vying for Japs' heads, the battle lasted less than twenty minutes. The Japs who finally broke out of Chu Yunfei's defense area actually They were all wiped out in this desolate land.
Another hundred or two hundred Japanese soldiers rushed out from the 358 defense area.
When they saw clearly the hellish scene of the Eighth Route Army massacring their own soldiers, the Japanese who rushed out, despite their excellent military qualities, could not help but fight with each other. Some young Japanese even subconsciously wanted to turn around and go back to the Third Five-Year Plan. The defense area of the Eighth Regiment.
These bastards are killing people like crazy...
