Outside Anping City, smoke filled the air
Wave after wave of Japanese soldiers rushed towards the position guarding the First Company of the Independent Regiment like crazy, and another wave was pushed back. In front of the position, there was yellow shit on the ground, and there were also patches of earthy gray lying on the position. The battle was about to begin. At a fever pitch, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
I don't know how many times I have replenished the company. Chu Xiong's tactics are a bit like the refueling tactic. I break up the garrison companies one by one and replenish them into the first company, and then let the veterans of the first company lead them to fight.
The Japanese used their famous pig attack tactic. One squadron after another rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's position, and the two sides fought a war of attrition;
Fortunately, the Japanese field artillery brigade was defeated by the "Weishen" 107 six-barreled rocket launcher of the independent regiment, which greatly reduced the pressure of position defense. The casualty ratio between the enemy and us was basically a little more than 2 to 1;
As the defender, the independent regiment was not weaker than the opponent in terms of firepower. This exchange ratio was achieved because the defensive company had too little actual combat experience.
"Comrades, the Japanese are coming, fight!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The company commander Tian Duoduo shouted, and took the lead in firing a long burst with the crooked machine gun in his hand, mowing down the two Japanese in the front row;
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Bagou! Bagou!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Following Tian Duoduo's order, more than 200 Eighth Route Army soldiers on the same position fired wildly at the Japanese with various weapons in their hands, and a large number of them were felled in an instant!
Other Japanese soldiers also lay down one after another, looking for bomb craters, obstacles and even Japanese corpses as cover, and fought back desperately against Yilian;
The fifth brigade was all old Japanese soldiers, and their marksmanship was very accurate when shooting. Some people in the Eighth Route Army were shot by Japanese soldiers from time to time while hiding in the trenches, and both sides were bleeding.
"boom!"
More than 800 meters away, a Japanese infantry unit of the 92nd Infantry destroyed a firepower point of the first company with one shot. The main and auxiliary machine gunners fell in a pool of blood. This infantry gun was too great a threat to the machine gun fire of the first company. .
The Japanese infantry artillery, grenades, mortars, 92 heavy machine guns and other support firepower continuously attacked the firepower points of the Eighth Route, causing heavy casualties to the first company.
"Chirp-boom!"
One kilometer away, a 107 single-barreled rocket launcher fired a rocket at the Japanese infantry gun that had just been exposed, destroying it instantly, and not a single gun crew member survived.
"Okay! Well done! Kill those stubborn Japanese to death!"
When Qian Duoduo saw that the infantry artillery that was the biggest threat to his position was blown up, he couldn't help but shout "Okay" loudly!
One kilometer away, the rocket launcher who had taken away the Japanese infantry gun quickly evacuated the shooting position. As soon as he withdrew for a while, three Japanese mortar shells fell...
"Damn it, this little steel cannon is so accurate. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been killed by the Japanese!"
Rocket launcher Xiong Weiwei cursed.
In order to deal with the Japanese infantry artillery and mortars, Chu Xiong asked the artillery squad to take apart the only six-barreled rocket launcher and shoot it;
Because they only had 12 rockets left and could not afford concentrated fire strikes, they were specially used to sneak attack the Japanese infantry artillery and mortar positions, and the effect was very good.
After Xiong Wei fired another rocket, the artillery squad had only 5 rockets left. They had previously used 7 rockets to destroy the Japanese's 4 infantry guns and a mortar position, effectively suppressing the Heavy firepower of the Japs.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
After suffering heavy casualties, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed to the company's position, and the two sides started a hand-to-hand battle...
"Puff puff……"
The sound of bayonets piercing flesh on both sides.
Tian Duoduo stabbed one of the Japanese soldiers down with a forward stab, and another Japanese soldier succeeded in a sneak attack and hit him in the shoulder with his bayonet;
Before the Japs could put away their swords, the hammer hit him in the head.
"Company Commander, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I was just bitten by a devil!"
After Tian Duoduo finished speaking, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the bayonet on his shoulder. The blood instantly stained his uniform red.
"Hammer, leave me alone and kill the Japanese!"
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Kill! Kill!"
The reinforcements from the first company finally arrived, and Chu Xiong decisively reinforced the position with a ninth company. This was the last complete garrison company in his hands. He decided to use this company to replace the first company that had been fighting for more than a day.
After the vigorous Ninth Company joined in, the Japanese finally couldn't hold it anymore. They withdrew their positions like a tide, and were chased from behind by the Ninth Company for more than ten meters.
"Comrades, stop chasing, it's important to hold your position!"
Luo Weimin, commander of the ninth garrison company, shouted loudly that Luo Weimin, the former commander of the Central Army Corps, finally reached the position of garrison company commander, so people with ability will always come forward gradually;
Iron Hammer also became the orderly of the first garrison company commander. The thousand prisoners of war rescued from the Guring Coal Mine a year ago became the backbone of the garrison camp.
The Anping battlefield has been able to hold up for so long thanks to this group of veterans. Many of them were veterans of the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, and Sichuan Army before joining the Eighth Route Army. After several months of training in the garrison camp, they are already able to take up leading positions.
"Captain Tian, just go down and recuperate with peace of mind. The position will be handed over to our Ninth Company. We will be there at the position!"
After Luo Weimin and Tian Duoduo had a simple handover at the position, Company Commander Tian Duoduo took 107 Predators who had fought for the rest of their lives and evacuated the position they had guarded with their blood and lives for more than a day;
When the first garrison company took up the position, there were a total of 217 people. More than 400 and more than 600 people were added to the platoons behind them. When they were evacuated, only 107 people were left, and everyone was injured;
Even including the wounded who were being carried out one after another, there were only more than 260 people left, and nearly 400 people died!
"salute!"
Luo Weimin led all the comrades of the Ninth Company to pay their highest respect to the iron-clad "First Company"...
"After the ceremony, comrades, the first company has set an example for us. The first company is all good, but our ninth company is not a coward!
The First Company has handed the position into our hands, and our Ninth Company must hold on to it, as long as the people are there and the position is there! "
As soon as Luo Weimin finished speaking, more than 200 soldiers of the Ninth Company also shouted:
"We are here in the position, and we swear to live and die with the position!"
"We are here in the position, and we swear to live and die with the position!"
The roar of the Ninth Company resounded through the sky, declaring war on the Japanese:
"Come on, fight!"
The battle declaration of the Ninth Company was also transmitted to the Japanese headquarters. Ishii said gloomily:
"Nishikawa-kun, do you hear that? This army already has a military spirit, regardless of the reincarnation of time or the change of personnel;
As long as their military spirit is still there, any unit they replace will be so high-spirited. Chu Xiong is their spirit, so no matter how much it costs, even if the entire fifth brigade is wiped out, I still want to see Chu Xiong's body. ! "
"Let's attack. Let's switch to the fourth brigade. I don't want casualty numbers, I just want Chu Xiong!"
Ishii said coldly.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
The Japanese launched another brigade-level attack, and the Ninth Company was about to face the most brutal battle since its establishment...
"kill!!!"
This was Jiulian's answer.
