Their brigade did suffer a big loss from the independent group, and they themselves were deprived of command rights. But when the two brigades came over, they were not in a hurry to merge with the Xinye Brigade, and still let him stand in front of the 154th Division. Doesn't this give it a chance to make a comeback?
Facing the 154th Division, which was waiting for them, Nakamura Koji did not act rashly. Now that the 154th Division actually abandoned their trenches and rushed forward, the situation was completely different.
"Mobilize all departments immediately. I want to teach the 154th Division a lesson and let them know that our New Field Brigade is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by everyone!" Nakamura Yukishi shouted.
The artillery of the 154th Division was indeed not very powerful. After firing a dozen shells back and forth, it basically went out. Although it also caused certain casualties to the Japanese, it was not worth mentioning to a Japanese army of several thousand people.
The ground troops' attack was quite fierce. They had the upper hand and once defeated the Japanese, gaining a short-term advantage. But as the Japanese blocked their way, their advantage was quickly erased.
The enemy and we were going back and forth, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
Whether it is the 154th Division or the Xinye Brigade, they are all trying their best to give the opponent a heavy blow.
"Reporting to the captain, we have cleared all the cordons around the Xinye Brigade." The news came back from Pang Dun. They fought together with Zhou Zhengbiao's supervising team. Not only were they extremely ferocious, but they were also incredibly fast.
The Japs' attention was diverted by the 154th Division, and they never imagined that a more ferocious unit would come out at this time.
"Very good! Order all the main battalions to get into position quickly, and the artillery battalion launches an all-out attack on the Xinye Brigade Station. Especially at this coordinate, we need to fire more artillery shells!" Wen San clearly heard the order issued by the brigade commander Koji Nakamura, Naturally, priority should be given to destroying the Japanese headquarters.
Under the guidance of Pang Dun and Zhou Zhengbiao, the First and Second Battalions occupied favorable terrain in a very short period of time. Light and heavy weapons were immediately put in place. They only waited for Zheng Xiaoyu's bombardment to end before launching the final attack on the Xinye Brigade.
"Report, our scattered cordon on the periphery has been cleared by the enemy. It is likely that the 154th Division is encircling us." A Japanese staff officer received the news and reported it immediately.
The 154th Division has much more troops than the Xinye Brigade, so it can indeed be divided and encircled. After the firing here, it is not very strange that the few peripheral troops were cleared.
"Don't be afraid. Their encirclement is as thin as paper and will break with just a poke." Nakamura was not worried at all. He did not take the 154th Division's combat effectiveness seriously.
It's not like they haven't encountered similar situations in the past with their combat capabilities. They basically charged through and penetrated the opponent's encirclement.
The most important thing now is to fight back the enemy troops on the battlefield ahead. The large number of troops here is the focus of the 154th Division's attack.
"Report to the brigade commander, the 154th Division is really just a show-off. As soon as our troops pressed forward, they began to retreat." The Japanese were only nervous for a few minutes before the good news came back.
"Haha, with such little fighting power, how can we fight against our invincible Imperial Japanese Army? China's army is a joke!" Nakamura Koushi began to be arrogant again.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there were screams coming from the space.
"Damn it, it's a shelling. Get down! Get down..." Many Japanese soldiers reacted. The caliber of the shells fired this time was obviously different from the previous one.
Boo hoo hoo…
Three artillery shells hit the Japanese headquarters directly, and their accuracy was as accurate as measuring it with a measuring tape!
Boom!
Three heavy artillery rounds landed at the Japanese command post with great accuracy, tearing everything here to pieces. More than half of the senior commanders of the New Wild Brigade were directly lost. Nakamura Koushi, who had been shouting just now, had been captured by Minotaur Horsemen and taken to hell before he could say another word.
Everything in the entire headquarters was blown to pieces!
"It's over, our chain of command is over!" The little devil in the distance let out a desperate wailing sound. A team of several thousand people would not be able to exert corresponding combat effectiveness without the unified coordination of senior commanders.
However, these few rounds of shells were just the beginning. More shells fell like raindrops, almost covering the whole area.
Only then did the Japanese from the Xinye Brigade understand why the 154th Division immediately retreated after a single attack. It turned out that they had already received the news, and there was a risk of being bombed if they rushed over.
"Come over, rush towards the 154th Division's defense line, hurry up, hurry up..." a Japanese major yelled. Nakamura Koushi died, and now that his position was relatively senior, he had to temporarily assume the task of commanding operations.
It's just that there are very few messengers around him, and the Japanese soldiers he can command are also quite limited. Only a small number of troops braved the artillery fire above their heads and rushed towards the 154th Division position desperately.
The brothers of the 154th Division will not tolerate these little devils rushing over. They had beaten a guy just now, but before they were satisfied, they were asked to withdraw.
Now that there are Japs coming to your door, why should you be polite to these Japs!
"Open fire and destroy all these devils!" the commander on the defense line yelled, taking the lead in firing. The Japs, who were already in a panic, soon fell in large numbers in front of their position.
Zheng Xiaoyu's artillery firepower is still extending. Wen San gave him a death order to cripple the Xinye Brigade first.
The artillery shells from the artillery battalion where he was located were bombarding the coordinates he locked as if they were free of charge. Although the camp where the Xinye Brigade was stationed was not small, they did not form a combat formation, and they did not dig any caves or trenches to hide their troops. In addition, the senior commander was detained, and under the fierce artillery bombardment, it was completely chaotic!
Every moment, a large number of Japs were taken away by the shells, and the remaining Japs were lying on the ground, staring blankly at the shells flying in the night sky, not knowing which one would fall next to them.
The fierce shelling lasted for nearly 20 minutes and then stopped.
"Each battalion launches the final attack for me and cleans out the remaining Japanese!" Wen San ordered again, and the two main battalions occupying the advantageous terrain finally roared.
On the 154th Division's side, Commander Ye also knew that Wen San's side was preparing to launch an attack when he heard the sound of artillery slowing down.
How could they lag behind others in such a thing?
"Order the soldiers on the defense line to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese again. All troops should be pressed against me. Don't be afraid of casualties!" Commander Ye made great determination.
Each regiment of the 154th Division moved quickly and launched a counterattack against the few Japanese soldiers.
Suddenly, the sound of the Charge came from several directions, and a large number of soldiers rushed towards the remaining soldiers of the New Field Brigade like a wave.
