Half an hour later, Shitou returned, bringing back the enemy information that Chuxiong desperately needed;
Li Qing handed Shitou a cup of hot water. Shitou drank half of it in one gulp and began to report the enemy's situation:
"Battal Commander, the Japanese have placed a full regiment around Qijia Town. The three brigades are in the shape of a pin, which just blocks all the roads out of Qijia Town; a brigade in front of Qijia Town is nailed to Qijia Town. In Jiazhen, the other two brigades are located on the left and right wings, slowly shrinking the encirclement."
"The new regiment sent a company on each wing to block the encircling Japanese. The main force attacked Qijia Town. It has been attacking for a day, but it has not broken through the frontal defense line of the Japanese. Both sides suffered heavy casualties."
…
With Shitou's information, Chu Xiong roughly understood the Japs' troop configuration, and he had an idea in mind, and said to Li Qing and others:
"Comrades, the situation is already very clear. The Japs have built solid civil fortifications in Qijia Town. They are like a lock, nailed there, and the Japs on both sides are chains that are gradually tightening. Once they shrink Once in place, the headquarters will be captured by them!"
"In the direction of Qijia Town, there is a large group of Japanese soldiers with strong civil fortifications. Not to mention the new group, even with us, they may not be able to break through!"
"This time, we will not attack Qijia Town. We will attack his right wing. No one has any fortifications to rely on. The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! First concentrate our forces to defeat the Japs' right wing, and then go behind the Japs in Qijia Town..."
Li Qing and others understood as soon as they heard that there was a new group on the front to contain them. No matter whether they attacked the left or right wing, the Japs on the other two wings could not help. As long as they paid attention to the suddenness of the attack, they were still very sure to defeat the Japs. of!
"Battal Commander, let's fight like this. The Japs on the right wing don't even know we are coming. We can catch them off guard and have a surprise effect!"
Zhang Yu expressed his opinion, and Li Qing and others nodded in agreement, reaching a consensus.
Seeing that everyone had unified their opinions, Chu Xiong arranged a specific attack formation, with Zhang Yu's second company as the vanguard, and the first and third companies on the left and right wings...
On the unnamed slope on the right wing, the sniper position of the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the New 1st Regiment
The first company had repelled three attacks by the Suzuki Battalion of the Ando Regiment. The bodies of soldiers from both sides were lying in front of the position, the bodies of shit yellow and khaki gray;
"Company commander, the Japanese are attacking again, we are out of bullets!"
"Comrades, fix your bayonets, bring the Japanese closer and use your bayonets to greet them!"
After finishing speaking, the first company commander Er Mengzi took off the bayonet from his body and clicked it on the bayonet of the Type 38 rifle in his hand. Others followed suit and installed bayonets. Those who did not have bayonets took out the ghost-headed swords behind their backs...
Major Suzuki discovered that the Eighth Route Army had no ammunition during the previous round of attack, so this round he took all the remaining 800 people in the brigade, hoping to annihilate all the Eighth Route defenders in front of them in one fell swoop and complete the encirclement of the Eighth Route headquarters.
"Warriors, the Eighth Route Army is out of bullets. Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
After entering the eight-way sniper position within a few dozen meters, Suzuki commanded the sword and issued the general attack order.
"Onboard!"
The shit-yellow wave surged toward the company's positions, and the bayonets in their hands gleamed in the sunlight.
"Comrades, kill!"
Ermengzi shouted and jumped out of the trench first. He struck the oncoming Japanese with a thrust, and the bayonet pierced the Japanese's chest fiercely.
As soon as Er Mengzi pulled out his bayonet, a stream of blood spurted out. Another Japanese wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Er Mengzi;
Ermengzi dodged, and the Japanese stabbed him in the air. He lost his center of gravity and sent a big head in front of Ermengzi;
Er Mengzi swung the butt of his gun and smashed it hard at the Japs. With a bang, the Japs' head was smashed open and fell to the snow. His red and white brains were all over the ground...
The hand-to-hand combat was very cruel, and the company was completely outnumbered, so in just one round, there were not many khaki figures left on the battlefield!
"Battal Commander, the comrades of the new regiment are fighting with the Japanese with bayonets!"
Chu Xiong, who was running, naturally saw it and shouted loudly:
"Follow the Charge and kill it!"
A moment later, a loud bugle sounded...
"Kill!"
The second company, serving as the vanguard, rushed towards the unknown slope with shouts!
Er Mengzi was covered in blood, both his own and that of the Japanese. In a daze, he seemed to hear the familiar sound of bugles, but he was too tired, and his vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
Just as a Japanese was about to give him a stabbing blow, another Eighth Route Army soldier rushed over from beside him, and the two of them fought together again...
Suzuki had just used his command sword to chop down the bloody Eighth Route Army when he suddenly heard the sound of a bugle that frightened him!
"Bagaya Road, it's the Eight Road!"
After Suzuki finished speaking, his face turned pale. The current Suzuki brigade was completely in disarray. At this time, reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army came...
Suzuki almost didn't dare to think about it. Of course, he didn't have to think about it anymore, because he had already seen the earth-grey color rushing towards him.
"Ta-ta-ta!"
Chu Xiong, who was holding a machine gun with a crooked handle, fired at a group of khaki-colored men and mopped up a few Japs in an instant. He now understood why Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others liked to charge with machine guns. It was really fun to sweep them away!
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta"
The "Tiger" team members who followed Chu Xiong were frantically harvesting Japanese lives with their Jin-made Thompson submachine guns...
"Bah hook bah hook bah hook..."
The soldiers of the Second Company who followed them held the guns in their hands and greeted the Japanese with all their strength. The Japanese collapsed after not holding on for two minutes!
The 1st and 3rd companies also outflanked the Suzuki brigade from both wings, chasing the Suzuki brigade with a fierce attack. The old Japanese Suzuki was also sent back to his hometown by a barrage of bullets.
The Suzuki brigade was completely defeated. Those who ran slowly were wiped out by the independent battalion, and only a few dozen of the fast ones ran away.
"Zhang Yu, you lead two platoons to stay and assist the comrades of the new regiment in rescuing the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield!"
"Others, follow me to Qijia Town to poke the Japanese in the ass!"
After Chu Xiong gave the order, he led the others straight to Qijia Town. He and the "Tiger" special force were at the front. He was using the "Tiger" as a commando.
Not to mention, it is really easy to use. The instant firepower output of dozens of submachine guns is enough for a Japanese to drink a pot!
After watching the battalion commander and others leave, Zhang Yu and others began to search for the wounded in the new regiment and the independent battalion on the battlefield, and by the way, they helped the Japs who were not dead.
"Comrade, wake up! Company Commander, there is still one alive here!"
A soldier shook Ermengzi vigorously and found that he was still responding, and shouted to Zhang Yu excitedly.
"Tiedan, please be gentle, are you the one who shakes the wounded comrade like this?"
"Hygienist, hygienist..."
The first company commander, Er Mengzi, was not killed by the Japs. He was almost given a concussion by the iron egg of the Independent Battalion. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and he survived. With the addition of Er Mengzi, the company was able to rescue three people!
"Company commander, all the comrades of the new regiment have been found, a total of 115 martyrs! There are also 3 martyrs from our battalion."
After Zhang Yu listened, this tough man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Come on, let's go see off our comrades together!"
There were 118 martyrs neatly placed in front of the position, like 118 monuments!
"salute!"
Zhang Yu and the remaining soldiers from the Independence Battalion solemnly saluted the martyrs...
After Zhang Yu obtained the consent of the first company commander Er Mengzi, he buried them collectively on the position where they had fought, allowing them to integrate with the hot land he guarded with his life.
Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, so why return them wrapped in horse leather?
The dead are gone, the living continue to fight. In the future, the glorious new regiment and company will surely be reborn from the ashes!
