Chapter 71: Recapture
At that time, the devils on the forward position of the 12th Infantry Wing were first blown up by the artillery shells of the national army, and then they were suppressed by Lin Rui and other officers and men of the attacking force with intensive assault fire, and then used hundreds of M24 long-handled grenades to bombard indiscriminately, and were almost killed and wounded.
The very few devils who survived were also suppressed in the trench by Lin Rui, Yu Weiguo and other daredevils with dense fire composed of submachine guns, light machine guns and pistols.
It's a problem to even shoot up, let alone stop Lin Rui and other daredevils from approaching.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Lin Rui, Yu Weiguo, Zhou Weihan and others took the opportunity to break into the position occupied by the Japanese army with three hundred daredevils.
Lin Rui was the first to rush to the front line of the devils with an MP18 submachine gun, and shot fiercely at the few surviving devils in the trenches.
Da-da-da-da! A shuttle of bullets whistled towards the devils, knocking all the surviving devils into a sieve, and falling into the trenches covered with corpses and blood in a scream.
Lin Rui did not hesitate, and immediately took the lead in crossing the first-line trenches and taking the lead in rushing towards the hinterland of the Japanese position.
Yu Weiguo, Lin Feng, Zhou Weihan and other daredevils all held their guns, roared angrily and followed, and continued to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese position.
About a dozen devil soldiers, on the way of Lin Rui's charge, jumped out of the trench with rifles, and rushed towards Lin Rui and the others with a loud roar in unison, trying to engage in a white-knuckle battle with Lin Rui and the others to block their advance.
However, Lin Rui and Lin Feng and several other soldiers who followed behind them didn't give the devil a chance to get close at all, and immediately picked up the submachine gun and light machine gun in their hands, and fired at them intensively.
Dadada! In the deafening sound of gunfire, a dense burst of bullets whistled towards the dozen or so devils.
Puff puff! More than a dozen devils didn't even have a chance to dodge, so they were beaten to death and wounded, and fell down one after another.
Solving this little trouble, Lin Rui, Yu Weiguo and the others continued to charge forward with their troops.
In front of the headquarters of the 12th Infantry Wing, Anda 23 and the others, who had already walked out of the tent of the headquarters, looked at the position where the flames appeared, the sounds of killing were everywhere, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was constantly intertwined.
Anda Twenty-three's face became heavier and heavier, and he said to the adjutant beside him, "Ono-kun, what is the situation in the forward position now?" ”
Anda Twenty-three's words almost fell, and a communications soldier behind him rushed out of the tent of the headquarters in a hurry, came behind him and reported to him: "Wing Commander, the 2nd Infantry Brigade defending the front line has called and said that the forward position has been broken through by the Chinese Army, the enemy's firepower is very strong, the offensive is fierce, and the defense of the 2nd Infantry Brigade has been broken and there are heavy casualties. ”
Anda Twenty-three couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, although the 2nd Infantry Brigade had suffered a lot of losses in the previous battles, but it was broken through the defense line by the Chinese army so quickly, which still disappointed Anda Twenty-three and was very dissatisfied with them.
However, the incident had already happened, and Anda 23 could no longer bother to blame the 2nd Infantry Brigade, and hurriedly ordered: "Order the 1st and 3rd Brigades, as well as the garrison squadron of the wing headquarters, to rush to the aid of the 2nd Brigade immediately, and no matter what, the night attack of the Chinese Army will not be successful." ”
The signal soldier hurriedly bowed his head in response, quickly turned around and ran into the headquarters, and called the 1st and 3rd Brigades, which were resting at the rear of the position, to give orders.
On the front position, the assault of Lin Rui and 300 daredevils was still in progress, and the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the Japanese army stationed in the forward position had accumulated more than half of the casualties in the previous battle.
Therefore, when they were attacked by Lin Rui and them, this 2nd Infantry Brigade had less than five hundred people.
Due to being caught off guard by the artillery shells of the national army, coupled with the dense and powerful assault firepower, the casualties were very large, and naturally they could not resist the surprise attack of the three hundred death squads led by Lin Rui.
The main forces behind the national army, when Lin Rui and they had just broken through the Japanese defense line, under the order of the commander-in-chief Sun Liren, they also rushed out of the position with various weapons and launched a full-line attack on the Japanese position.
By the time the 1st and 3rd Brigades, as well as the garrison squadron of the wing headquarters, and thousands of reinforcements rushed to reinforce them, Lin Rui and Yu Weiguo led the well-equipped and powerful assault death squads, which had completely crushed the remnants of their 2nd Infantry Brigade.
seized and occupied almost the entire forward position of the Japanese army, and Sun Liren and other officers also arrived in time with thousands of follow-up main forces.
Lin Rui and Yu Weiguo led the death squad, and the dense firepower composed of more than 100 submachine guns and light machine guns opened the way, and the devil reinforcements were killed and wounded, and they kept retreating.
Sun Liren took advantage of the situation to command the troops to attack on the whole front, relying on the local superiority of troops and firepower, and completely defeated the Japanese army in one go, and then raised his pistol and shouted: "Brothers, recapture the lost position, avenge the sacrificed comrades, rush!" ”
"Kill! Come on! Thousands of officers and soldiers of various departments of the national army roared in response, rushing forward with weapons in their hands.
In the dark night, amid the countless dense tongues of fire and the deafening shouts of the soldiers of the national army, the devils of the 12th Infantry Wing were completely defeated, and they scrambled to retreat one by one.
Although Wing Commander Anda Twenty-Three tried his best to stop the troops from retreating and turn the tide of the battle, no matter how hard he tried, he could not save the collapsed morale.
Countless devils ignored his reprimands, looked panicked, and fled to the rear in embarrassment.
Seeing that the Chinese army was about to be killed, the adjutant and the guards were horrified, and they all pulled Anda Twenty-three and fled to the back.
Although Anda Twenty-Three was full of unwillingness, he had no choice but to be dragged back by the rout.
Lin Rui, Yu Weiguo and others took the lead in covering up the killing with death squads, and the Japanese troops who were killed directly were unable to form an army, and blood flowed like a river.
Whether it was Lin Rui or Yu Weiguo, Sun Liren didn't expect that this counterattack would be so smooth.
However, what made Lin Rui regret was that when he led the troops to attack and chase to the rear of the Japanese position with the death squad, he did not find the Japanese artillery wing, and it was obvious that the devil's mountain artillery wing had withdrawn before they could kill them.
At this point, all the positions of the Lion Forest Fort occupied by the Japanese army were recaptured by the national army.
In order to avoid unnecessary losses, Sun Liren issued an order to stop the pursuit in time, and then ordered the troops to turn to the defense on the spot and build and strengthen the damaged positions to prevent the Japanese counterattack.
