Chapter 913: Li Hongjin attacked and harassed the enemy's reinforcements
In the night, the vision was dark, and the battlefield was very chaotic, and the devil soldiers who rushed in front had no time to dodge.
When the enemy fled, he fell into the pit blown out by the shells, and some of the little devils were directly killed by their own bullets because they ran around.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
The explosives exploded in the crowd of devils, and violent explosions sounded one after another, and several explosions and flames on the position were strung to a height of more than ten meters.
The killing range of the explosives reached more than several tens of meters, and the little devils near the explosion point were blown to pieces on the spot, and bloody severed limbs fell around the position.
The little devil soldiers not far away were concussed and injured by the mines, and the enemy's organs were torn apart, and they fell to the ground in pain.
There were also a number of little devils who hid under cover, but the powerful concussion shattered their eardrums, and the enemy moved around the position in a daze.
The death squad soldiers of the national army caused a lot of casualties to the attacking troops of the little devils.
The two sides exchanged fire and fought at close range, and the weapons and equipment of the national army were not as good as those of the little devils, so they could only fight desperately with the enemy.
Don't think that the little devil is not afraid of death because he has been brainwashed by the spirit of bushido, in fact, the enemy is also afraid of such a crazy death squad.
Fifty or sixty little devils were killed and wounded on the position, and many of the enemy's hands and feet were blown up, wailing and screaming on the position.
As soon as the devil soldiers on the flanks rushed up, the soldiers of the national army with grenades wrapped around their waists did not hesitate to die with the enemy by self-detonation.
The little devils rushed up several times and were killed and injured by the death squads, which made the devil's officers and soldiers angry, and at the same time, the enemy was afraid in their hearts.
"Baga, the death squad of the China Army is too stubborn!!"
"Backwards, backwards!!"
The devil soldier dragged back the wounded soldier and quickly retreated in fright.
After the Devil's attacking troops withdrew, the Devil's mortar unit began to carry out artillery shelling.
The devil's infantry could not rush forward, and could only rely on artillery fire to cover.
"Tom, tom, tom!!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
Suddenly, the devil's cannonball smashed.
The little devil suffered a big loss at the hands of the national army death squad just now, so the little devil retaliated and fired nearly a hundred shells.
The commander of the 60th Division knew the casualties of the front-line troops, and seeing that the artillery fire of the little devils was too fierce, the commander of the national army could only order the withdrawal of the front-line defenders.
At this time, the defenders of the national army were no longer fighting, and they were completely desperate with the little devils.
Besides, the little devil artillery bombarded again, and continued to hold the position only increased casualties.
After receiving the order, the officers and men of the country at the front immediately took the wounded and evacuated from their positions in time under the enemy's artillery fire.
The defenders of the national army are a regiment with more than 800 troops, but it is better that only about 300 officers and soldiers are left after the safe withdrawal.
Most of these evacuated officers and men were injured to varying degrees.
The devil's side suffered about 200 casualties, and even if the national army was on the defensive, the casualty rate was several times higher than that of the Japanese army.
The main reason for such a casualty ratio is that the weapons and equipment of the two sides are too different.
Although the 60th Division is twice as numerous as the little devils, it is not the opponent of the 34th Wing of the devils at all, and the 60th Division can only defend and contain the devils.
The artillery fire of the devils lasted for several minutes, completely bombing the country's front-line positions into a scorched earth.
After the artillery fire stopped, the devil's infantry rushed up to the position again.
In this attack, the little devil soldiers no longer dared to rush to the position, they always kept an eye on the national soldiers on the position, and beware of the death squad soldiers rushing towards them.
The attack of the devils went well, without encountering any resistance, and the enemy managed to occupy the front-line positions of the 60 division.
After the devil soldiers occupied the position, they quickly strengthened the fortifications and established various fire points.
Waiting for the machine gunners and grenadiers to establish a good fire position, the captain of the devil brigade quickly organized his troops and prepared to attack the second defensive position of the 60th Division.
"Order the squadrons, prepare to continue the attack!"
At this time, the devil's communication soldier ran over.
"Report to the captain, the wing commander orders our brigade to stop attacking the positions of the Chinese army!"
The Devil Brigade Captain hurriedly canceled the order for the combat troops to charge, and then, he ordered the squadrons to hold the front-line positions.
The commander of the devil's wing, Sukeo Tokugawa, gave the order to stop the offensive, mainly taking into account the casualties of the troops.
The number of casualties in a squadron may not sound like much, but for the devil commander, the cost of such casualties is too great.
If the Devil Wing and the 60th Division fight to the death, even if the Devil 34 Wing defeats the 60th Division, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the Devil's Army.
Therefore, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, the commander of the Devil's Wing, Sutsuo Tokugawa, changed the original combat deployment.
He decided to stand his ground first and wait until tomorrow daylight to request reinforcements from the flying troops.
Gradually, the sound of gunfire around me died down.
Soldiers from both sides occupied their respective positions, and they exchanged fire while building fortifications in their positions.
……
The Japanese 106th Division was besieged in the Wanjialing area, and Okamura Ninji was completely panicked.
That night, Okamura Ninji urgently ordered the 9th Division and the 101st Division to send troops to rescue the 106th Division.
However, there were other group armies of the national army on the periphery of Wanjialing to block it, and the devil's reinforcements did not come over so quickly.
The devil's three-way reinforcements all came to Wanjialing, and the 1st Corps was under great pressure and had to quickly deal with the Japanese 106th Division.
Forward Command of the 1st Corps.
Li Hong said to Xue Boling: "Chief Xue, the Japanese 106th Division is surrounded by us, and the Japanese reinforcements will definitely attack wildly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the blocking troops on the periphery to block the Japanese reinforcements." ”
"Not only that, but the two divisions of the Japanese army are advancing from north to south, and they have the intention of encircling the 1st Corps, so they must be vigilant......"
The two divisions of the devil were outside, and Xue Boling was also very worried.
The two divisions of the Japanese army were killing violently, and Xue Boling had no good way to deal with it.
Dividing troops to block the two divisions of the Japanese army requires a lot of troops, so there are loopholes in the encirclement of the 106th Division of the Devil.
Li Hong saw Xue Boling's difficulty, and he took the initiative to ask: "Chief Xue, I have an idea. ”
"Oh?" Xue Boling looked at Li Hong as if he saw hope, and he said, "Head Li, you can talk about it." ”
Li Hong thought for a while, and said cautiously to everyone in the headquarters: "Commanders, if necessary, I can immediately mobilize the Madang defenders to attack and harass from the flanks of the 101st Division and the 9th Division of the Japanese Army, completely disrupting the little devil's attack plan, and the purpose of blocking the enemy's reinforcements has been achieved." ”
"Commander Li, this is not good, you mobilized the Madang defenders, what should you do with the defense of the Madang defense line?" Wu Yuejin shook his head, disapproving of Li Hong's tactics.
