"Da Biao, your kid's suggestion is good, so let's order Wang Chengzhu's artillery team to concentrate artillery fire and first carry out a fierce bombardment of Itagaki Seishiro's offensive starting position. Da Biao, you organize a company of troops to attack, make a small counterattack and see! Watch for cover! ”

Li Yunlong thought about it for a while, but still waved his hand and agreed to Zhang Dabiao's suggestion. At this time, it is also excellent to make a small counterattack and see what is going on with the devil on the other side.

Zhang Dabiao immediately responded, "Yes, regiment commander, I promise to complete the task!" ”。

Immediately, Zhang Dabiao immediately left the command post and mobilized a company of troops to prepare for a counterattack.

A few minutes later, Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire also opened fire as scheduled.

"Bang bang bang!" Mortar shells spun out, whistling with a long tail flame, slicing through the falling snowflakes and fiercely shelling the direction of the main force of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Itagaki Division to rest and recuperate.

At this time, Seishiro Itagaki was waiting for Ueno to command an infantry brigade to storm the Sangqian River in the rear, in an attempt to suppress the small group of small units of the new regiment that had been erected by the Japanese engineering units to build pontoon bridges on the north bank of the Sangqian River. The screams of artillery shelling from the opposite side came from far and near, and the piercing sound was unusual.

"It's not good, the Chinese army is shelling, order all troops to pay attention to concealment!" In fact, when the main forces of the Japanese brigade and regiment withdrew to rest and recuperate, they would pay attention to avoiding the shelling of the new regiment.

Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro's order was not delivered, and the devil soldiers of the various Japanese units under the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army who were resting and recuperating lay down on the spot and hidden.

"Boom, boom!! Boom Boom Boom !! Boom Boom Boom !! ”

Although the mortar shells were not as good as those of the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns, their ballistic curved shots caused very strong damage to the Japanese soldiers hidden behind the slopes of the hills.

I saw a deafening explosion of cannonballs, and the fragments of the cannonballs exploded with the explosion, and the debris of the explosion spread in all directions, hitting any living creature it encountered, including dead objects.

However, the strength of Wang Chengzhu's artillery unit at this time could not compare with the strength of the Japanese army's artillery, and it only took less than two minutes to open fire, and soon the artillery brigade of the Japanese army's 21st Infantry Brigade accompanied the army's artillery brigade Saka Iyopei opened artillery counterattack under the strict order of Itagaki Seishiro, and quickly suppressed Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment.

Just when Wang Chengzhu's artillery was bombarding, more than 200 people from the first part of the second company of the Zhang Dabiao police station and some of the battalions directly under the reserve took the initiative to attack the Japanese troops on the opposite side under the cover of Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire and launched a counterattack.

"Kill, brothers, up!" In charge of the ambush was the commander of the second company of the first battalion, shouting and directing more than 200 soldiers to rush out of the position and attack the Japanese army.

In less than two minutes, the commander of the first battalion and the second company commanded more than 200 soldiers to kill the Japanese army's outer troops closest to their forward positions.

"Machine gun, kill!" The commander of the first battalion and the second company beckoned back, and the three Czech light machine guns stopped at the machine gunner's hand and began to fire.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da!"

The rattling bullets smashed into the unprepared Japanese ranks with a blazing temperature, and the Japanese troops on the periphery suffered heavy casualties.

Many of the little devils on the periphery didn't have time to dodge the reaction, and they were beaten into a sieve by the bullets of the Czech light machine guns.

Some of the soldiers went directly into the ranks of the Japanese outskirts and killed at least 80 Japanese soldiers in less than a minute. Most of them were actually killed by light machine gun bullets, and only a small number were killed by other fighters with grenades and rifles.

After about three minutes, the large Japanese army reacted and gathered to fight the new regiment of fighters who fought back. Amidst the shouting of the slogan of the onboard charge, the soldiers of the new regiment of the great counterattack, under the command of the commander of the first battalion and the second company, fought and retreated, and under the cover of the soldiers on the position, they withdrew in an orderly manner to their own positional trenches.

The artillery fire stopped, and so did the Japanese troops.

The commander of the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Company who withdrew to the position quickly reported to Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong the Japanese reaction observed in the counterattack.

"The regiment commander, the battalion commander, the little devils did not take advantage of the situation to pursue us. On the contrary, they watched us retreat, in fact, as long as the little devils took advantage of the situation to catch us, it was very likely that they would chase us into our position. ”

Hearing the report of the commander of the first battalion and the second company, Li Yunlong's mind sank. Sister, Itagaki Seishiro, this old devil is not simple, there is definitely a conspiracy, is it because he sees that his position is difficult to break through, and he is waiting for reinforcements?

It's just that the old devil still has troops at this time, and he still has several times his own side, what kind of conspiracy is this Itagaki Seishiro old devil doing?

Li Yunlong, who couldn't understand for a while, waved his hand and motioned the commander of the first battalion and the second company to go down and return to his troops to command the guard, and then said to Zhang Dabiao in a condensed voice: "Damn, this old devil Itagaki Seishiro had a chance to enter our position, but he didn't try, it seems that this old devil is a bit of a conspiracy!" ”。

"Commander, what should I do? Could it be that we are confronting the rest of Seishiro Itagaki with the rest of the 21st Brigade in such a naked manner? Zhang Dabiao also said a little solemnly, judging from the reaction of the Japanese army from a small-scale counterattack, the Japanese troops commanded by Itagaki Seishiro were indeed a little wrong.

The smell of conspiracy is strong, and you have to be careful.

Li Yunlong walked around the command post of the first battalion, pondered for a while, and then clapped his hands and said, "Made, this old devil must have some plan to deal with us. If we are still in the confrontation with the little devil now, once Seishiro Itagaki has a follow-up move, then we will be caught off guard by the old devil Seishiro Itagaki and lose face! ”。

"What do you mean, Captain?"

"Withdraw!" Li Yunlong said concisely and said with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao was a little surprised and said, "Commander, let's retreat?" Don't fight? ”！

"No more fighting!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "We have already eaten almost two thousand devil soldiers, which is enough." Whatever Seishiro Itagaki does, he may need time. And we can't follow in the footsteps of the Japanese army, as long as we evacuate immediately and get out of contact with most of the main forces of the Japanese army under Itagaki Seishiro, it is estimated that Itagaki Seishiro's rear move will be useless! Ordered all troops to secretly prepare to evacuate, and withdraw immediately after five minutes. Order Wang Chengzhu's artillery, hit the only half of the remaining shells, and cover our retreat with artillery fire! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao responded, "Commander, where are we going to withdraw from here?" ”。

Li Yunlong walked to the map table placed by the command post of the first battalion and looked at it, moved his fingers on the map, and then clapped his hands and smiled, "Retreat south, retreat to Guangling." Guangling is still in our hands, withdraw there to replenish, and then withdraw to the Hengshan base area. ”。
