At the Qingniushan position, the soldiers were very excited when they saw that the Japs' six bombers turned into two in the blink of an eye. They were too frightened to fire any more machine guns and ran away.
While continuing to shoot with the rifle in his hand, he cheered:
"Hahaha, that stupid little devil Tie Niiao has escaped!"
"If they bully us again and dare to come, beat them all down!"
"That's right, any son of a bitch airplane has to fall down when it encounters our heavy machine gun!"
…
Gao Yuanzhi, deputy commander of the artillery company over there, saw the Japs plane leaving and immediately ordered:
"Comrades of the artillery, get in position quickly and keep firing!
Blow up these idiots! "
Following his order, the gunners and ammunition handlers immediately rushed towards the artillery pieces covered by the "big straw hats", took off their camouflage, then adjusted the angle of the artillery pieces and continued to bombard the little Japanese at the foot of the hillside.
However, although the main target of the bombing just now was the fake artillery position, an aerial bomb still landed on the real artillery position, destroying a Type 41 mountain gun and two ammunition carriers.
Coupled with the losses in the previous artillery battle with the heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns and other artillery on the Little Japanese armored train, they now only have 1 cannon, 1 mountain cannon, and 3 Type 92 infantry guns left.
Almost 60% of the artillery has been lost, and the casualties of the gunners and ammunition handlers are also huge.
It can be said to be very tragic!
However, the battle has been fought so far, and the little Japs down the hillside are already exhausted. The five guns left in the artillery company of the Secret Service Battalion, and now that the cannons are fired, the morale of the little Japs has plummeted.
Seeing the shells still hitting his warriors, Colonel Shimogawa Seiya screamed angrily:
"idiot!
Why are there artillery pieces on Tubal Road?
Those losers in the aviation force have not completed their mission at all! "
At this time, a little Japanese second lieutenant ran up to him and shouted:
"Your Excellency, Captain, there are too many enemy artillery pieces. I suggest you move in immediately!
Otherwise, our first team will be completely destroyed! "
Hearing this, Shimokawa Narumi was furious and kicked the coward down, while his back felt cold.
He knew that the other party was right. If he continued to fight, although his brigade could still inflict some damage on the enemy, there was a high probability that the entire army would be annihilated!
But if he were to transfer immediately, his military career would be over!
And he might even be caught by the military police and executed directly!
Bring shame to his family!
There were two roads, and it was really hard for him to decide which way to go.
Just when he was hesitating, a supporting force came to the Second Company's position!
The leader is Han Yang, deputy battalion commander of the special agent battalion!
Han Yang led a company of soldiers who had finished fighting Qixia Town and ran all the way until they finally arrived at the Qingniu Mountain position.
As soon as he arrived at the position and saw the tragic scene on the Qingniu Mountain position, he couldn't help but feel heavy.
Without counting, he knew that at least half of the Second Company had suffered casualties.
But at this moment, he was not in the mood to feel sad about spring and autumn, and immediately led the soldiers to shout:
“Soldiers of the Second Company, we from the First Company are here to support you!
Guys, try harder, the little devil's death is coming! "
When the soldiers of the second company on the battlefield heard this, they were immediately surprised, their morale soared, and they all shouted:
"Okay! You little sons of bitches, go to hell!"
He Yunfu hurriedly came up to greet him and greeted Han Yang:
"Old Han, thank you for your support!
Is the fight over in Qixia Town finished? "
"That's right. Qixia Town has been obtained, and the battlefield is now being cleaned.
Enough chatter, I'm here and two hundred people are here. How can I fight? Why should I talk to you! "
Han Yang did not understand the current battlefield situation, so he took the initiative to give command to He Yunfu.
He Yunfu thought for a while and tentatively said:
"My idea is that you should just go down to the hillside, go directly from the east, block their retreat to the east from the direction of Niujiao Ridge, and try to catch a turtle in a jar!
Now there are only three to four hundred Japs left. They are hiding behind the armored train. Our rifles cannot hurt them at all. It would be a waste of time to continue fighting like this. I'm afraid something will happen later! "
"Won't the little devil run away from the west?"
Han Yang was puzzled.
"Hey, the little devil brought it upon himself. The bomber crashed, destroying the hillside and blocking the road to the west."
He Yunfu is happy.
"Okay! This is really a natural cycle, retribution is not good.
The naughty little devil really deserves it!
Let’s do it!
However, I have brought all 6 heavy machine guns of our company and give them all to you. You can arrange for people to do fire suppression, and then transfer all the box guns in your company to me to strengthen the firepower of our charge. "
"good!"
When Yang Yuanshan formed the pistol platoon before, each company was assigned a platoon. Now there are more than thirty people in the second company's platoon. He Yunfu immediately put them all under Han Yang's command and prepared to charge.
At this time, Feng Shuanglin, who had just ambushed the Japs bomber, emerged from the artillery hole and shouted from the position:
"Comrades, come out quickly and change positions. The battle is not over yet!"
Following his order, machine gunners and ammunition handlers emerged from the gun holes one after another. There were still fifty or sixty people left in total!
They checked their twenty heavy machine guns and found that there were still 7 intact ones. They immediately picked up the heavy machine guns and ran to the side, preparing to shoot the little Japanese at the bottom of the hillside.
He Yunfu saw it from a distance and immediately sent someone to inform Feng Shuanglin:
"Shuanglin! Old Han's company has come to support. Now I'm going to let them go directly down the mountain from the east to the Japs, and engage in close combat with the Japs. Pay attention to cover your machine guns!"
With this arrangement, it took less than ten minutes to prepare.
Han Yang immediately led his company of soldiers and the pistol platoon assigned to him by He Yunfu and rushed down to the east of the position.
Seeing them taking action, He Yunfu immediately shouted loudly from the position:
"Comrades, victory will soon belong to us. Let's take aim and strike!"
With the sudden fire of the 6 heavy machine guns brought by Han Yang and the 7 heavy machine guns brought by Feng Shuanglin, the little Japanese at the foot of the hillside suddenly felt that the pressure was increased by three points.
…
Opposite the second company's position, on the third company's position, Li Dahe and Wang Quanfa also saw reinforcements coming from the second company's position opposite.
The two of them suddenly became energetic, and both knew that the balance of victory was already tilting towards the secret service camp.
Li Dahe immediately said to Wang Quan:
"Old Wang, the remaining Japs are hiding behind various bunkers now. Our rifles can't do anything to them. How about we rush down and fight them hand-to-hand?"
We also have dozens of box guns, which can beat the little Japanese in terms of firepower. "
"Company Commander, this is giving up the advantage of our trenches. I'm afraid the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties."
Wang Quanfa did not quite agree with this plan.
In his opinion, it was obvious that as long as the secret service battalion delayed, all these little devils could be wiped out. Why let the soldiers sacrifice themselves?
“There’s nothing we can do about the heavy casualties.
You also know that the scouts just came to report that the little Japs from Shouxian County will arrive in less than an hour.
If we don't resolve the battle here quickly, I'm worried that Li Youqiong's side won't be able to stop a squadron of little Japs. "
Wang Quanfa frowned immediately after hearing this.
He knew what Li Dahe said made sense.
Suddenly, he saw several grenades in the trench, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
shouted in surprise:
"Company Commander, we have dozens of grenade launchers that have not yet been used. Now is the time to let the little devils have a taste of our power!"
"Old Wang, the range of this grenade is only four to five hundred meters. I'm afraid the range is not enough now. Do you want us to advance 100 meters?"
"Company commander, no need! We are being condescending.
Just like the thunder cannon just now, we shoot the grenade at the sky, and the grenade will fall down by itself! "
Wang Quanfa suggested.
"What a great idea! Lao Wang, you have such a bright mind!"
Li Dahe was immediately pleasantly surprised.
They immediately ordered the soldiers to set up all the grenade launchers, and then fired a salvo into the sky!
Dozens of grenades were fired at once, and grenades flew into the sky like raindrops.
When the grenade reaches its highest position in the air and exhausts the kinetic energy of the propellant, it begins to fall. When it hits the ground, the fuse detonates the grenade.
The explosion immediately caused the little devil to wail repeatedly.
Because they fired the grenades without aiming at all, dozens of grenades flew everywhere.
In this way, the little devils hiding behind various bunkers will be blown up.
At this moment, Shimogawa Chengya knew that if he did not lead his army to break through, the only outcome would be the annihilation of the entire army.
He immediately roared and pulled out his command sword and ordered:
"Everyone turn eastward, quickly!"
After he gave the order, the little devils present felt as if they had been granted amnesty and hurriedly ran eastward.
However, these little devils are also elite veterans. Although they are retreating, they did not let themselves be exposed from the bunker in a swarm.
Instead, he kept dodging between different bunkers, moving forward, and shooting at the same time.
It took half an hour and dozens of corpses to escape, and they finally escaped from the main fire coverage area of the second and third companies.
