Now Li Baisha's troops have merged with the 160th Division and received the latest instructions from Wen San.
The cavalry company was finally released and used all its strength to target the Japanese sentries.
Liu Dazhu organized his cavalry company into a platoon as a combat unit and maneuvered wildly around the Japs. As long as there were Japs sentries running out, they would be killed!
They were buying time for the 159th Division. Their goal was simple, that is, they could not let the Japs from the two brigades easily discover that another unit was coming from behind.
As long as the 159th Division blocks their way, the encirclement will basically be completed.
"Build defenses on the spot and act quickly!" Although no accurate news had been sent back from the frontline headquarters, Yamaguchi Kameichi had already smelled an unusual signal.
"Do you think we have fallen into the encirclement of the China Army?" Ono Shiro still didn't quite believe it. After all, they have two brigades. How many troops must the national army deploy to surround them?
"There is a 80% chance that we will be surrounded. We must be mentally prepared for a hard battle." Kameichi Yamaguchi said very seriously.
This guy's battlefield sense of smell is no different from that of a dog, quite sensitive.
Although Ono didn't quite believe it, Yamaguchi Kameichi was indeed better than him in this aspect. So he didn't object to Kameichi Yamaguchi's approach. He didn't want him to dig trenches anyway, just do it!
The Japanese who were originally preparing to divide their forces quickly picked up the engineering shovels and began to dig trenches on the spot.
Not to mention that the Japanese are difficult to deal with, their military quality and battlefield execution capabilities are indeed nothing to say, especially this group of front-line combat troops, which are much more powerful than the B divisions.
Liu Dazhu quickly reported back the new changes of the Japs. At this time, Wen San was still moving with the main force and did not arrive at the scheduled combat location.
On the contrary, the 159th Division took the first step and was almost behind the Japanese.
"Let Li Baisha and others launch an attack, and deal with them before the Japanese plane arrives, creating favorable conditions for the 159th Division to encircle." Wen San immediately ordered and passed his combat operations to Commander Ye.
Commander Ye is also rushing here, and the entire command headquarters is moving forward. In such a big battle, he cannot sit at the rear and command, and it is easy to delay the fighter opportunity.
"Very good! The 160th Division should also show off its new guy. Order the 160th Division to attack with all its strength and rely on the terrain to attack the Japanese Brigade!" Commander Ye also issued the combat order.
This was discussed before and the attack would be launched before dawn. First, fight against the Japanese before they gain a firm foothold.
Li Baisha's German weapons camp was chased by Japanese soldiers all night long, and the anger in his heart had already reached its peak. However, Wen San did not allow them to turn back and fight the Japanese, so they had to fight and retreat along the way.
Now that we have reached the 160 defense line, we finally got Wen San's combat order.
"The Japanese are digging trenches. All companies are going out with all their strength. Get close and fire!" Li Baisha was extremely excited. He had a lot of troops and very well-equipped equipment. But he has never achieved any outstanding results.
Lao Wan and others destroyed another Japanese brigade, which really stimulated Li Baisha.
"Brother, I still have two battalions of troops here. Don't leave us behind." Lin Liangguo took the initiative and ran over.
Along the way, it was Li Baisha and the others who stood in front and opened fire with the Japanese. This made Lin Liangguo feel a little confused on his face.
Although he knew that the combat effectiveness of his Jiang Defense Regiment was not on the same level as that of Li Baisha's German Arms Battalion, he could never lose to the opponent in terms of blood. How could they not be allowed to participate in such a battle?
"We will advance forward. Your battalion will protect our flanks and don't give the Japanese a chance to split up their forces for a sneak attack." Li Baisha took advantage of Lin Liangguo's request. He doesn't have the dignity to directly command the Jiang Defense Regiment's combat operations like Wen San.
The battle started soon, and the German weapons camp opened fire and rushed towards the Japanese crazily. The Japanese's trenches were not dug well at all, so how could they block such a fierce fire attack.
As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the Japanese were beaten back continuously, and the number of casualties continued to soar.
The battle started here, and the soldiers of the 160th Division also took action.
They were waiting for work and had already rested. Commander Ye's attitude is very determined, and he wants them to show the prestige of the 160th Division.
In terms of mentality, the National Army has a great psychological advantage. This firing caused a roar within several kilometers.
The sound of machine gunfire and explosions resounded throughout the sky.
An extremely fierce battle suddenly started. Both the enemy and ourselves are red-eyed, and it’s time to fight!
The troops of the 160th Division launched attacks from multiple angles. Although they took the lead, they still achieved considerable gains, at least wiping out more than half of the Japanese digging trenches.
Li Baisha's firepower advantage was fully demonstrated. As soon as the individual rocket launcher came out, the Japanese couldn't resist it at all and were beaten back again and again. Their light and heavy machine guns had no chance to be used. On the contrary, the machine guns here kept making roaring sounds, making the Japanese cry for their fathers and mothers, pissing themselves off, and soon gave up a large area of territory.
The Jiang Defense Regiment on the flank was a little helpless when they saw the friendly forces fighting so fiercely. Feeling that he could not keep up with Li Baisha and the others as a support player, Lin Liangguo did not dare to be so embarrassed.
"Come forward and suppress the Japanese counterattack with all your strength!" Lin Liangguo went crazy and personally led the team to the front line. Under his encouragement, the soldiers charged forward like crazy calves one by one, regardless of casualties.
Although the three armies each have their own subordinates, they are competing for strength at this moment, and they must not let Li Baisha's army outshine the previous ones.
"Damn it! Damn it! The Chinese army is crazy, we can't stop it at all, retreat, retreat quickly..." Ono Shiro yelled.
They had just started to build a position when the other party rushed out and launched a fierce attack on them. Especially the German weapons battalion that had exchanged fire with them before, their firepower was terrifyingly powerful.
Before, they thought the other party was so powerful, but now they finally understood. It turned out that they had been pretending before, just to lure themselves into chasing them, so as to create opportunities for the friendly forces to annihilate the Xinye Brigade.
Now they no longer pretend, they instantly changed from docile little sheep to ferocious tigers!
This is outrageous, and the beating caused quite a lot of pain to the Japanese!
If there were dug trenches, the Japanese could still resist on the spot, but as soon as they were about to dig trenches, the Chinese army exploded.
This is a typical example of not respecting martial ethics, and the Japanese are extremely angry.
Fortunately, there is a lot of space behind them to retreat. As long as they avoid this wave and let their momentum drop, they will still have to fight later.
Naturally, such a fierce battle cannot be hidden. Hearing the sound of gunfire from the front, the 159th Division moved much faster, and all the soldiers started running.
