The Eighth Company quickly completed the assembly, and Lin Rui led Zhou Weihan, Lin Feng, and liaison officer Zhang Xinghan and others, with more than 320 soldiers of the Eighth Company, and quickly rushed to the front line of Dachang.

At that time, the counteroffensive against the defense line of the Japanese National Army was the 3rd Infantry Wing of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The 3rd Division is a veteran Division A among the 17 permanent divisions of the Japanese Army, with sophisticated weapons and well-trained, and its combat effectiveness is at the superior level of Class A among the first-class combat units of the Japanese Army.

In addition, they had the powerful naval artillery fire of the 3rd Fleet and the air fire support of carrier-based aircraft, so as soon as they came up, the 6th Infantry Wing showed extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Because the Battle of Songhu was the first attack launched by the Nationalist Army, which almost wiped out the Japanese marines.

Therefore, the Japanese army at that time, from the officers to the soldiers, was holding back a wave of anger, since the First Sino-Japanese War, when did the weak China dare to take the initiative to attack Japan?

The 6th Infantry Wing, who had been brainwashed by the Army-1-Country-1-Doctrine and the spirit of bushido, burst out with extremely powerful attack power by virtue of their superiority in equipment and firepower, as well as skillful tactical coordination.

If it weren't for Sun Liren who brought the guard company forward to supervise the battle in time, the soldiers of the second tax police regiment fought with their lives, I am afraid that even the big field would have been lost.

Therefore, when Lin Rui, Zhou Weihan and others arrived with the Eighth Company, the regiment commander Sun Liren was not at the regiment headquarters, and there was only one lieutenant adjutant at the regiment headquarters.

Liaison officer Zhang Xinghan recognized the lieutenant adjutant and immediately introduced Lin Rui: "Sir, this is the staff officer of the regiment headquarters Chu Baoguo Chu. ”

Lin Rui nodded, and Chu Baoguo saluted Lin Rui and said, "Company Commander Lin, the regimental seat is now leading the guard company and various battalions to fight fiercely with the Japanese army, and the forward position is bombarded by Japanese artillery fire, and it is no longer possible to hold on.

Before leaving, the regimental seat instructed the humble duty, and after you arrived with the eighth company, immediately build a second line of defense in the area of Liujiatang, and prepare to receive the withdrawal of the main force of the regimental headquarters! ”

Lin Rui is not only the commander of the eighth company, but also the deputy commander of the third battalion, two levels higher than him as a lieutenant, and has outstanding combat achievements, so he has to take the initiative to salute Lin Rui to show respect.

Lin Rui nodded: "Okay, I'll take someone to Liujiatang!" ”

After speaking, Lin Rui turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw Zhang Xinghan behind him, his heart moved and said to him: "Second Lieutenant Zhang, let's go to Liujiatang to build a defensive line, and prepare to take the regimental seat and they retreat, please go and inform them of the news." ”

Zhang Xinghan happily stepped forward and said, "Yes!" After saluting Lin Rui, he immediately turned around and ran out of the regiment headquarters.

。

On the battlefield of the Dachang front, Sun Liren personally led the guard company, engineer company, machine gun company and other troops directly under the regimental headquarters, relying on the defense line to fight fiercely with the Japanese army.

The 6th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, with four Type 95 light tanks as the lead and a large number of light and heavy machine guns as the cover of firepower, guided more than 1,000 infantrymen in a long line of skirmishers, and attacked the 2nd Tax Police Regiment in groups.

In the previous exchange of fire, the 2nd Regiment of the Tax Police was attacked by the combined fire of the Japanese naval guns and the aerial fire of the carrier-based aircraft, and not only the infantry suffered heavy losses.

The light and heavy machine guns and mortars of the battalions were also almost devastated.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible to resist the attack of the 6th Wing of the Japanese Army, which was like a wolf.

、

Thanks to the timely arrival of Sun Liren with the companies directly under the 2nd Regiment, the deteriorating battle situation was contained.

In particular, the machine gun company was equipped with more than eight 82-mm mortars of the same level as the Japanese Type 92 infantry guns, as well as a batch of Maxim heavy machine guns and a small number of 20-mm rapid-fire guns.

Able to provide relatively strong firepower support for the second regiment of the tax police, this time the devils launched a large-scale fierce attack again, watching the four Type 95 light tanks in front of them arrogantly roaring.

The infantry covering them was getting closer and closer to their positions.

Sun Liren immediately ordered: "Machine gun company, kill those Iron King Eight for Lao Tzu!" ”

Captain Ma Ming, the commander of the machine gun company, responded with a bang, and immediately personally operated an 82mm German mortar and began to aim and lock.

SOON, EIGHT 82MM MORTARS OPENED FIRE ONE AFTER ANOTHER, FIRING OUT SHELLS ONE AFTER ANOTHER.

Four 20-mm rapid-fire guns and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns also opened fire.

Although the quality of the artillery of the tax police regiment is good, it is slightly inferior to that of the well-trained Japanese army, which is not surprising, and in World War II, the quality of individual soldiers of the US army is not as good as that of the Japanese army.

This is due to Japan's relatively strict training, coupled with its special national conditions and special reasons such as bushido spiritual brainwashing.

For example, the shooting level of rifle shooters, because of Japan's limited resources, in order to ensure that the ammunition can be used to the maximum effect, the Japanese army has carried out extremely strict training for their soldiers.

In the early days of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, among the well-trained active troops of the Japanese army, an ordinary soldier was picked out at random, and his shooting hit rate was terrifying.

Lower-caliber artillery such as grenadiers and mortars are even more sloppy by little devils, and according to statistics, their hit rate can be as high as 90 percent or more, which is undoubtedly very scary.

A glimpse of the whole leopard shows how strong the overall quality and combat effectiveness of the Japanese army are, which is also an important reason why the national army has repeatedly suffered heavy defeats in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and is outnumbered.

In addition, the soldiers of the machine gun company at that time were a little nervous, and the four tanks of the devil were all moving.

So, boom boom! A BURST OF EXPLOSIONS FELL AROUND THE DEVIL TANK, AND MOST OF THE SHELLS FIRED BY THE EIGHT 82MM MORTARS FELL IN THE AIR.

Only the mortar shell personally operated by Ma Ming, the captain of the machine gun company, hit a Type 95 tank and destroyed it on the spot.

HOWEVER, THE FIRING AND STRAFING OF THE FOUR 20MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS HAD A MIRACULOUS EFFECT.

I saw four dazzling tongues of fire erupt out, whistling and pouring towards the remaining three Type 95 tanks.

Bang bang! Dense machine cannon shells hit the frontal armor of the Type 95 tank, and the front armor of the tank was forcefully pierced, leaving a large eye-catching hole.

After the dense machine gun shells drilled into the tank, they formed ricochets, which not only caused devastating damage to the devil tank crews inside, but also quickly detonated the inside of the tank.

Soon, the three Type 95 tanks were caught on fire one after another, and they broke down on the spot and stopped advancing.

It turned out that the defensive armor of the Japanese Type 95 light tank was very weak, and it could barely withstand ordinary light and heavy machine gun bullets.

But in the face of such rapid-fire guns of twenty mm caliber, nothing can be done.
