Zhuxia's night raid suffered a disastrous failure, but Zhou Weiguo's night raid achieved good results. Although not many Japs were killed or injured, the Japs did not have a good night's sleep. The next day, each one looked like an eggplant beaten by frost. Same.
This is the effect you want!
The Japanese continued their attack after daybreak. Due to the news about Shitou, Chenjialing, which originally planned to defend for three days, only had to defend for two days.
The time for the general attack has been advanced to 5 pm. At this time, the Japanese are most likely to relax and it is also the time when the Japanese are most tired.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Japanese who had had breakfast began to attack again. Since the Second Squadron fought well, they were still responsible for the morning's attack.
There was nothing new in the Japanese attack. Uchimura Major still didn't know that Takeshita's black tiger heart-extracting plan had failed. He just dragged the main force of the Eighth Route Army to Chenjialing as planned.
In other words, the Japanese are not in a hurry to break through Chenjialing's defense line. It is best if they can break through it. If they can't break it, they will slowly consume the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army. After Takeshita has disrupted the Eighth Route Army internally, they will then launch a general attack and capture Liuzhen in one fell swoop.
Neicun wants to bloodbath Liu Town!
After the second squadron attacked for two hours, it was replaced by the third squadron and started a wheel battle.
Zhang Yu's second platoon is still on the Eighth Route. The Japs' offensive intensity is not very strong. There are still more than 60 people in the second platoon.
Basically, they shoot at each other between 80 and 100 meters, which is very easy for the second platoon. Several of their snipers rely on the fortifications to continuously shoot and kill the Japanese officers and technical soldiers, which makes the Japanese a little bit too much.
Before lunch, the Japanese suddenly launched a major attack, trying to break through the second row's defense line in one fell swoop.
As soon as Li Qing saw that the situation was not right, he directly led a platoon of more than 40 remaining officers and soldiers to reinforce through the traffic trench.
With the addition of a platoon, the defense line was quickly stabilized. Seeing that they could not take advantage, the Japanese retreated leaving dozens of corpses behind.
After attacking all morning, the Japanese began to eat lunch to replenish their energy;
Gao Wancheng also used his first company to replace the first and second platoons of the seventh company. The two platoons withstood the repeated attacks of three Japanese squadrons and held their position for a day and a half at the cost of nearly half of the casualties.
Two tanks were destroyed and more than 250 Japanese were killed and wounded. The battle loss ratio between the two sides was about 4 to 1.
Seeing that the Japs finally retreated, Wang Han breathed a sigh of relief, convinced by the Seventh Company's combat effectiveness.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army is really capable. Two companies withstood the Japanese attacks and one brigade took turns. They have been fighting for a day and a half!"
"Wang Han, with all the people in the house, how can the eggs be intact? The country is dead, and everyone has to be a slave to the country. What happened here, you should not say anything that shouldn't be said when you go back."
"They are persisting in the war behind enemy lines, and we should do less things that hinder them."
Wang Han nodded gently. He understood what Zhou Weiguo meant. Just pretend he didn't know about the matter of a company of 600 people.
In the afternoon, it was replaced by Gao Wancheng's 1st Company. The people Gao Wancheng brought here were all veterans, many of whom were old Red Army soldiers. Their ability to learn to fight would only be better than that of the 7th Company.
The seventh company's defensive tactics opened a skylight for them. It turns out that defensive battles can still be fought like this!
In the afternoon, the Japanese were replaced by the Fourth Squadron. Both sides were fresh forces. The first company was the defender. They took advantage of the fortifications and easily withstood the Japanese attack.
The two sides fought fiercely all afternoon, causing casualties on each other. The casualty ratio was basically three to one.
The attacking side was at a great disadvantage. The entire company was hiding in the fortifications, waiting for work. The Japanese did not have heavy artillery, so the casualty ratio was already quite strong.
Before dark, the Japanese launched another major attack, throwing in two incomplete squadrons at once, but they were still pushed back one after another, and corpses were left on the ground.
After two days of offensive battles, more than half of the Japanese casualties had been taken, which shocked Uchimura.
Before arriving, a reinforced brigade of nearly 1,500 people was held captive by a company of the Eighth Route Army in Chenjialing. After two days of fighting, more than 700 people were killed or injured.
Of course, some of the more than 700 people were killed or injured by Zhou Weiguo's special forces.
More than 400 of the more than 700 people were killed and 300 were lightly or seriously injured. This is even more annoying.
Taking care of the wounded requires a large number of troops. Strictly speaking, the Uchimura brigade has lost its offensive capabilities.
After fighting for a day, the four Japanese squadrons took turns to fight. They were exhausted and hungry.
The Japanese are ready to have dinner, a salted fish rice ball for each person, a taste of hometown.
"Chu, are you going to counterattack? Great! Can I take a photo?"
Aaliya asked Chu Xiong excitedly.
This big girl from Goshawk Country really doesn't hold grudges. She has been criticized by Chu Xiong countless times, but she still looks familiar.
"Of course! It's best to take pictures of the Japanese who were killed by us, so that the whole world can see what happened to the invaders."
Chu Xiong replied to Aaliyah in standard American English, which she enjoyed very much. She couldn't even speak half a knife in Chinese.
"Ok, Chu, you have to keep your word, you can't steal my film anymore! This is not a gentleman!"
Chu Xiong shrugged his shoulders and made an indifferent expression.
"Boss Zhao, let's look at your artillery array! Let us, Miss Aaliya, set off some fireworks!"
Aaliyah didn't understand what Chu Xiong said, so she looked anxiously at John, who spoke much better Chinese.
John had to explain to her in English that Chu Xiong was going to set off fireworks for her.
"Miss Aaliyah, this is very oriental and romantic!"
John couldn't help but joke.
Perhaps in order to cooperate with John, the artillery platoon fired!
Six 81mm mortars smashed six shells into the group of Japanese soldiers, causing six beautiful fireworks to bloom.
Aaliyah was stunned by the romance of the Orientals
"gorgeous!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Another round...
The Japanese who were enjoying the delicious salted fish rice balls fled in all directions, crying and howling after being bombed.
This wonderful scene was all fixed on film by Aaliyah
