A front-line combat unit does not have enough weapons, ammunition, and abundant logistical support, and if it wants to defeat a strong enemy with good equipment and enough to eat with more men, it is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

However, under very difficult circumstances, the 46th Brigade continued to fight for six days on the Dongyuan Front with the fearless spirit of sacrificing itself to defend China.

Although many positions were repeatedly lost, they were recaptured in the brave battles of the soldiers, and they were always in the hands of the 46th Brigade.

At this time, he received an order from Shangfeng to use all the weapons and ammunition he had in reserve for the general offensive campaign launched this time, in order to cooperate with the attack launched by the 54th Regiment on the Guanshan Feizhong Wing, which was a clean and neat search for the 46th Brigade's home.

As the supreme commander of a unit, in the case of losing the guarantee of weapons and ammunition, once this battle is fought for a long time, the troops that have run out of ammunition and food are just pigs that are passively beaten, and they have no power to resist if they run for their lives.

Brigade Commander Kong held a telescope and kept an eye on the rapidly changing situation on the entire battlefield at any time.

When he found that the attacking troops were counterattacked by the powerful fire of the Japanese army, the vanguard was suppressed by the fire and lay on the ground and could not advance to the enemy's forward position, not only clenching his fists and striking the mud and rocks of the trench in front of him.

"Brigade seat, our attacking troops have suffered serious setbacks under the enemy's powerful firepower at this time, and if we blindly continue to attack, I am afraid that it will cause great casualties to the troops. If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid our bullets will soon be ....... ”

"Chief of Staff Sun, the 54th Regiment, which is now attacking the Japanese army behind enemy lines, is attracting the enemy's main force to counterattack with the most ferocious firepower at this time, creating favorable conditions for our 46th Brigade to contain the enemy, we simply consider the consumption of bullets, and the attack is blocked, do we want to take the initiative to withdraw from the battle and throw the 54th Regiment to the enemy to be brutally eaten?"

"Brigade seat, but we really don't have much ammunition, if this battle lasts for three or two days, the ammunition is not replenished, and the soldiers of the troops cannot get at least enough food to fill their stomachs, and we will not use the enemy to launch a counteroffensive when the ammunition and food are exhausted, we will ......."

"Chief of Staff Sun, the battle has reached this juncture, please stop spreading these demagogic slackness, order the troops to attack the Japanese army again, and must cooperate with the 54th Regiment to eliminate this roadblock in front of our 46th Brigade."

Brigade Commander Kong looked at his watch as he spoke, and said to the operational staff officer: "Order all regiments to use the cover of night to concentrate their firepower to attack the enemy's weak positions, adopt the tactics of gradual and steady attack, and advance to the enemy's forward positions." ”

The commanders of the regiments, who received the order from the brigade seat, immediately ordered the battalions to advance to the enemy's forward positions with the most ferocious fire under the cover of night in accordance with the operational tactics of the brigade headquarters.

At 3:40 a.m., Captain Guan Shan Feizhong, who was suddenly hit by powerful artillery fire, woke him up from his dream by the powerful sound of explosions, and heard the continuous explosions coming from the artillery position, not only Huo rushed out of the military tent.

He found that the base camp was in chaos, and the soldiers were running back and forth, not only shouting loudly: "Chief of Staff Kameda, why is there a violent explosion in my artillery position, and where is the artillery, tell me quickly." ”

At this time, the Noda squadron was lured to Gumo Ridge by the cavalry of Thundercloud Peak, and was ambushed by the 54th Regiment, and the chief of staff Kameda Ichiro, who fled back in panic with heavy losses, just heard the wing commander shouting loudly to find him.

He ran and rushed to him and shouted: "Report to Captain Guanshan Feizhong, the 54th Regiment of the Chinese Army is bombarding our artillery position with powerful artillery fire, and it is very likely that the artillery position of the imperial army has been destroyed at this time." ”

"Nani? Bastard, how could the 54th Regiment of the Shina Army suddenly appear in the rear of our army, why did they have such a powerful artillery unit, you are so embarrassed, where is the Noda squadron that you led now? ”

"Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, I led the Noda squadron to chase and kill the small group of troops that attacked our army's base camp, and was surrounded by the main force of the 54th Regiment set up in Gumoling, and fought desperately to highlight the encirclement and return to the base camp, and now ......."

"Kameda Ichiro, you bastard is a stupid pig who chases and kills the enemy in the dark, don't you think this is a cunning small army of Shina, and it is a trick to deliberately lure and design a siege?"

"Your Excellency Dazuo, now our army is already in the situation of the enemy's front and rear firepower, and the most important thing at present is to organize the troops to launch a counterattack immediately, otherwise they will be surrounded by the Chinese troops, and the consequences will be very disastrous."

"Order the troops to immediately enter the front-line positions and counterattack the attacking enemy with the most intense firepower, and must not launch an active attack without an order, as long as they can hold out until dawn, our army can use the superiority of weapons and equipment to completely destroy the attacking enemy."

Chief of Staff Kameda greatly admired the tactics of Captain Sekiyama Hinaka, because launching a counteroffensive in the dark of night could easily fall into the enemy's trap without understanding the enemy's offensive situation.

In order to save the heavy strength of the enemy, only holding out until dawn is a good time for the Japanese army to launch a strong counteroffensive.

The Japanese troops, which were suddenly hit by heavy artillery fire, quickly entered the combat system of counterattacking under the command of Captain Sekiyama Hinaka.

Those troops, frightened and confused by the sound of the huge artillery bombardment, quickly entered the position at this time according to the order, and counterattacked the attacking Chinese troops with the most ferocious firepower.

Lei Yunfeng, who took the lead, found that the Japanese army quickly and orderly entered the position to carry out fire blockade, and did not lose command because of the panic, let alone blindly launched a counterattack against the attacking enemy, but held the position and never took the initiative to attack.

This made Lei Yunfeng feel that the attack did not achieve the desired effect, and if he continued to launch a fierce attack on the enemy, the troops would suffer heavy casualties in the enemy's powerful firepower.

He decisively ordered the 54th Regiment to occupy favorable terrain and concentrate the most ferocious firepower to attract the enemy's main forces to counterattack, so as to cover the transport convoy to quickly break through the Japanese fire blockade line and safely reach the rear of the 46th Brigade.

Acting regiment commander Liao Yingqiang ordered the 14th and 15th battalions to use the main force to attract enemy fire in accordance with Lei Yunfeng's deployment, and ordered the 13th battalion to attack from both flanks, but this attack was only a feint, and once it encountered a strong enemy, it would immediately retreat.

Its purpose was to create a false impression for the enemy and cause the Japanese commander to misjudge, that is, the attack of the Shina troops was frustrated and the queen retreated, luring the enemy to launch a pursuit.

Lead the enemy to the front of the positions of the 14th and 15th battalions, and then concentrate the three battalions with the most powerful firepower to destroy the attacking enemy.

Lei Yunfeng's tactic of luring the snake out of the hole can be said to be very insidious and ruthless, but he miscalculated this time, when the 13th battalion attacked the enemy from both flanks, it was blocked by the frantic fire of the Japanese army, and the 13th battalion retreated, but did not lead the snake out of the hole.

Because the Japanese troops received the most severe order from the commander of the Sekiyama Hizhong Wing, that is, all units must strictly hold their positions and carry out firepower to counterattack the attacking enemy, and they must not leave their positions without authorization to pursue and kill the defeated and fleeing army, otherwise they will die.

Liao Yingqiang, acting commander of the regiment, saw that this trick would not work, not only recklessly ordered the 54th Regiment to launch an attack on the Japanese troops holding the position, but also to break through the enemy's defensive position, he did not believe that without the command of Lei Yunfeng, he would not be able to defeat the enemy in front of him.
