Night fighting is different from daytime fighting. The Japanese have flares, but the New 93rd Army does not.
When the Japanese attack, they will fire certain flares and tracer bullets at the positions of the New 93rd Army. However, most of the night battles will still turn into close combat and hand-to-hand combat, which requires much higher requirements on the soldiers' combat literacy and fighting will. The government There are very few people in the army who are good at night fighting.
The Japs are different. They are well-trained, have Bushido brainwashing to fight, and are basically die-hard;
In addition, the Japs had good food and more comprehensive nutrition, so soldiers had almost no night blindness.
Therefore, one of the magic weapons for the Japanese to deal with the Kuomintang army is night fighting and close combat. The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was launched in the evening. After fighting all night, many troops were cut and scattered, and almost all of them were defeated in one blow.
The New 93rd Army was also a central military system. The Japanese planned to repeat their old tricks and defeat the defenders with night combat and close combat. Unfortunately, this time they kicked the iron plate.
The backbone of the New 93rd Army at all levels is the Eighth Route Army. They are commanders with rich practical experience selected by independent brigades and divisions. They are good at night combat, close combat, and guerrilla warfare. The two sides can be said to be evenly matched.
Ten minutes later, the Japanese rushed to the Seventh Battalion's position, and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand.
Wan Peng was born in the Song Army and studied at the Songshan Shaolin Temple for a period of time. Although he is not a martial arts master, his sword skills were indeed taught by experts. He danced with a ghost-headed sword without leaking, and chopped off the heads of Japanese soldiers.
This kind of melee combat was his favorite method of fighting. In just a short while, he chopped down three Japs, all of them with a knife on their necks, directly chopping off their heads;
He liked to listen to the sound of the enemy's head rolling on the ground, and the pores in his body felt comfortable.
Wan Peng's cruelty was soon targeted by the Japanese. Captain Ozaki was a master of swordsmanship. It was said that he was the one who spread the bullshit, but no one could prove it.
His sword killed many Chinese people, both soldiers and civilians. The more people he killed, the more angry he became. When he saw Wan Peng feasting, he raised his ancestral sword and killed him.
When Wan Peng heard the wind of the sword, he knew that a master was coming. He had been guarding against him for a long time. He blocked Ozaki's powerful and heavy sword with the ghost head sword in his hand. With his backhand, he slashed Ozaki's sword with the tip of the sword. neck……
Ozaki could hardly believe his eyes. He saw lightning flashing across his face. Amaterasu was pointing her finger at him, holding a large sack in her other hand.
He was very reluctant to watch his soul fly into the sack. The sack was filled with Japs like him. Amaterasu didn't get off work at night.
"Bah, fake tricks! It's so unsatisfactory!"
Wan Peng saw Captain Ozaki slumped to the ground like a dead dog, and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm in disgust, right into the old devil's face.
"idiot!"
A Japanese superior soldier with a bayonet pointed out sneaked up on Wan Peng from behind. He listened to the wind to identify his position, turned sideways, and the Japanese bayonet penetrated Wan Peng's waist;
Wan Peng grabbed the bayonet of the Japs' gun with his right hand, and easily removed the Japs' bayonet with a knife.
The Jag's center of gravity was unstable and he threw his whole body towards Wan Peng. Wan Peng's backhand was a knife, stabbing the Jag's heart with the Jag's bayonet.
Hand-to-hand combat is very cruel, and the winner can often be determined within a few minutes. Most rookies will fall. Only true masters can survive the first three minutes of life and death. What follows is a contest between masters.
In this attack, the Japanese devoted a large group, and more than 100 of them were knocked down before rushing to the position. The remaining 900 people started hand-to-hand combat with more than 1,500 people from the 7th and 1st battalions;
Three minutes later, there were only more than 100 Japs left, and the Seventh and First Battalions also suffered more than 700 casualties. With the two-on-one advantage, the casualties on both sides were almost the same.
Fortunately, the battlefield was under the control of the New 93rd Army. The Japs' losses were absolute losses, while their own wounded could be treated.
The Japs finally couldn't bear the heavy casualties. The remaining 100 or so Japs ran into the darkness. The Seventh Battalion only pursued them for a few dozen meters before stopping, leaving behind another 20 or 30 Japs. It was easy to get hit by blind fire. ambush.
"Brothers, stop chasing, rescue the wounded quickly, and give the enemy some last-ditch blows!"
Although Wan Peng was enjoying the killing, he was still very calm as a commander and did not pursue them blindly. Their mission was to hold their position.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Before the Seventh Battalion could carry all the wounded into the artillery-proof hole, the Japanese retaliatory artillery shells hit again, and Wan Peng quickly hid in a cat-ear hole nearby.
"You stupid little devil, if you can't fight with a bayonet, you'll use a cannon. Are you going to bully me for not having a cannon?"
As soon as Wan Peng finished speaking, the sound of "dong dong dong" began to be heard from the top of the mountain, and the mortar shells from the artillery camp followed the enemy's trajectory and hit them;
From the perspective of confidentiality, the artillery battalion of the New 93rd Army has not yet been equipped with the Wei Shen cannon. The range of the Wei Yixiao cannon cannot reach the Japanese artillery position, so it can only use a dozen mortars to counterattack.
Even if you only dare to fight a few rounds, you have to move your position. The Japanese have a sharp nose. If they fight a few more rounds, they will be locked by their artillery. This is a bloody lesson.
The Japanese artillerymen became honest after taking a few rounds. Although the losses were not great, the deterrent effect was great.
The Chinese also had artillery that could hit them, so they didn't dare to bombard them unscrupulously. They stopped after a few rounds.
The Japanese finally calmed down, and the huge losses made them finally recognize the reality and stopped attacking again.
Night battles are not easy either. A full battalion is sent up, but less than one squadron comes back. Moreover, this is an absolute loss, the kind of people who report to the ghost toilet.
More than 900 people died in one impact, and the Japanese commander began to feel pain. It was important to save the 37th Division, but he would not be stupid enough to use up all his troops.
After this lesson, although the Japs launched several attacks at night, the intensity was significantly reduced. The scale of one-time investment was also controlled at the squadron level, just to maintain the offensive.
"Old Zheng, the casualty statistics are out. The two battalions have sacrificed more than 450 brothers, and there are more than 300 wounded. Currently, the wounded have been sent to the rear medical team. It is estimated that many brothers will not survive. "
Wan Peng was not in a good mood when he saw hundreds of his brothers fell. He only hated that he had killed enough Japanese.
Zheng Yong patted Wan Peng a few times and comforted him:
"Lao Wan, we have sacrificed too much in this war, but as long as the devils are still burning, killing and looting on the land of China, we will continue to fight, even if we kill all our generation! Is it a national shame? Are you leaving Sun Ping?"
Wan Peng nodded cautiously, the sadness in his eyes was replaced by perseverance. The Japs had not been driven away yet, so it was not the time to feel sad.
"The national humiliation will not leave children and grandchildren in peace! Old Zheng, let us fight for a peaceful day for our descendants!"
