Although Kuroda's distress signal was sent, the nearest Japanese enemy was nearly two kilometers away. Where could they get help?
Hideo Hayata asked them to move forward to the left and take the initiative to join the Japanese infantry of the two squadrons. The idea is indeed good, but this has become a luxury.
At least two platoons of troops from Tintin Mao'er's company were already in place, blocking the movement route in this direction.
The troops of the three companies in Wen San's hands quickly compressed the little living space of the Japanese artillery squadron, and launched the charge in the most ferocious way!
This is equivalent to gathering the entire battalion's strength to attack a remaining Japanese artillery squadron and a Japanese squad. In fact, under Zheng Xiaoyu's "care", the strength of the more than 200 Japs in No. 2 is now only half at most, and a large part of them are artillery without weapons.
Wen San was indeed willing to spend money. In order to kill this Japanese squadron, he adopted a forceful attack regardless of casualties. To win this battle in the shortest time, the two main Japanese squadrons cannot be allowed to return for reinforcements.
If this Japanese artillery squadron cannot be annihilated in time, this battle is likely to be a mixed bag. Not only will we have to face the two Japanese infantry squadrons, but the reserve forces left by the Japanese are also likely to join in.
By that time, the annihilation war will turn into a melee, and a series of arrangements made by him will become a joke, and may instead cause greater casualties.
After all, Wen San Division had more recruits, so it was okay to fight with a favorable wind, but if it went against the wind, many things would be out of control.
A battalion of troops surrounded and suppressed more than 100 Japanese soldiers, so naturally they would not fight in a protracted manner. Even if there were only a small number of new recruits, under the leadership of the veterans, they still performed very bravely.
The platoon leaders of each company even played a very good role in taking the lead, without any thought of saving bullets. Several parties surrounded them and one of them charged down, but none of the remaining Japs were left alive.
"Quickly clean the battlefield and evacuate in the previously planned direction." Wen San did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly.
The entire annihilation battle was basically completed within fifteen minutes.
Zheng Xiaoyu's artillery had readjusted its angle and hit the left front of No. 2. If the two Japanese squadrons want to withdraw, they have to advance against their artillery fire. Unless the Japanese are not afraid of death, they will not be able to withdraw at all in a short time.
With so many people cleaning the battlefield, the speed will naturally not be slow. There are still many useless artillery shells here, including several Type 92 infantry cannons, which have become Wen San's trophies.
After Wen San's troops all exited Position 2, Zheng Xiaoyu also received instructions and began to quickly evacuate Position 1.
When Hideo Hayata brought the reserve team to No. 2, the two Japanese squadrons on the left front had just returned. They still paid a heavy price in casualties during their retreat.
"This is definitely not the garrison on Niujiao Mountain. I want to know right away, whose army this is?" Hayata saw that the entire artillery squadron was killed, and he wanted to die.
An artillery squadron, plus a small squadron, were all killed within half an hour, and the battlefield was even cleaned up. What kind of combat effectiveness does this force have?
"Major Hayata, we don't know the number of this unit yet, but we have figured out the direction of their retreat. Do you want to follow them?"
"Pursue, you must pursue me! Get back all the equipment we lost..." Hideo Hayata, who was furious, had already lost his position.
After suffering such a big loss, if we don't come back with revenge, can we still be called the elite division of the Imperial Japanese Army?
The reserve force in Hayata's hands, plus the two squadrons that were withdrawn, totaled nearly 700 troops. Hayata didn't believe that this army could sustain such a large combat team.
The Japs' team pursued them very quickly, but Wen San's team was as fast as the wind. In order to train the troops' guerrilla combat capabilities, physical training was carried out at every turn, which caused the food in Lao Yangtou's hands to be consumed quickly.
Before the Japanese could bite Wen San's tail, several companies of troops on his side had already entered the trenches that had been dug long ago.
Although the previous battle was fierce, both the new recruits and the veterans felt that it was not satisfying and the battle ended too quickly.
"Batalion Commander, will the Japanese come after you?" Tintin Mao'er came over and asked worriedly. These trenches were dug by their men. If the Japanese didn't come, their work would be in vain.
"It's already here, but there are a lot of them and it's not easy to chew. Has Zheng Xiaoyu's artillery company withdrawn? They are waiting for their fire support."
Wen San was a little worried. They might be able to gain some advantages in such an ambush battle, but it would not be possible to achieve much results in a short period of time. After the Japanese vanguard suffered a loss, they would immediately retreat.
The key is still broad daylight. The Japanese have suffered a big loss and will definitely call for aircraft support. This is what Wen San is most worried about. After all, there are fighting everywhere along the entire defense line. Maybe with a call, the Japanese plane will come over soon.
The best way is still to run away as soon as you kill someone and eliminate the Japanese in mobile warfare. With Wen San's special ability, he can easily grasp the movements of the Japanese troops, and engaging in mobile warfare can make the Japanese cry to death.
"It has stopped a mile away. The artillery battery here cannot be deployed at all. With our current strength, it is already a bit crowded."
"Very good, let Wang Mazi give them orders to prepare for artillery bombardment at any time and wait for my orders." Wen San quickly put all the ministries into combat readiness.
No matter how we fight later, we need to harvest a wave of dividends first.
The Japanese's pursuit was really fast, but during the pursuit, Hideo Hayata finally calmed down. He had realized that the order he gave at that time was driven by anger.
Can he kill his own team of more than 200 people in such a short period of time? Can it be an ordinary army? Even if the most elite German weapon masters from the national army come over, they may not be able to do it.
Combined with the sudden appearance of this unit, Hideo Hayata had already guessed that this unit must be the mysterious army that destroyed Kudo's heavy armored brigade.
He was originally a light infantry brigade, but now he lost an artillery squadron. If he charged forward again, he was not sure what the result would be.
"Report to the captain, the terrain ahead is very undulating and it is easy to be ambushed by the Chinese army." A Japanese squadron leader ran over and said.
"What? The troops stopped advancing immediately and sent a small team up to find out the situation before marching." Hayata immediately realized the problem.
"Hai!"
The Japanese squadron leader bent down and immediately turned around to carry out the order.
On Wen San's side, after waiting for a while, a team of Japanese soldiers came over in a timid manner. Wen San didn't even bother to look at them.
"Wang Mazi, immediately send an order to Zheng Xiaoyu and ask him to go southeast and fire five to ten artillery shells 1.5 kilometers away."
