This time, the attack of the 6th Infantry Wing was surprisingly smooth because Sun Liren had already led his troops to retreat.

Soon captured the position before Sun Liren's headquarters, and after the wing commander Kurayong Chenzhi Dazuo got the news, he immediately ordered the troops to take advantage of the situation to pursue and continue to attack in the direction of Liujiatang.

And at the same time, Liujiatang was on the ground.

Lin Rui was inspecting the trenches and inspecting the deployment positions of various light and heavy firepowers.

Lin Feng, who was following him, suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Company commander, look, it seems that Second Lieutenant Zhang is back." ”

Lin Rui immediately stopped, looked up in the direction of Dachang, and sure enough, he saw Zhang Xinghan, the liaison officer, who was running towards this side in a hurry.

Lin Rui sent two soldiers to rush out of the trench, went over to answer, and led Zhang Xinghan to him.

Entering the trench and coming to Lin Rui, Zhang Xinghan immediately stood up and saluted: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, they have begun to withdraw to this side, let me inform you to prepare to respond!" ”

Lin Rui nodded and said, "We are ready for all battles and can respond at any time." ”

"That's good." Zhang Xinghan put his mind at ease and nodded and said.

So, they waited patiently on the position.

About ten minutes later, a group of figures poured out in front of the position, and Lin Rui, who got the news, immediately raised his binoculars and looked ahead, only to see a large number of tax police officers and soldiers, swarming towards his side with various weapons.

The first battalion and the second battalion arrived, followed by the third battalion and the companies directly under the regiment, and Sun Liren was the last to retreat into the position with some officers and men of the guard company.

Lin Rui immediately took Zhang Xinghan, Lin Feng, Zhou Weihan and others to greet him, and took the lead in standing up and saluting in front of Sun Liren: "Tuanza!" The Eighth Company was ordered to report for duty, please instruct. ”

Sun Liren looked at Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan and other officers and soldiers behind him, nodded approvingly, and then directly ordered: "Major Lin, now that our regiment has suffered a lot of losses, we need to retreat and rest, I will leave the third battalion to you, and you will block the devil for me for at least two hours, can you do it?" ”

"Yes!" Lin Rui first agreed, and then asked puzzledly, "What about our battalion commander?" ”

Sun Liren's face darkened: "He sacrificed, and now the third battalion is under the command of you, the deputy battalion commander!" Remember, no matter how fierce the enemy's attack is, at least give me two hours to stop them! ”

The commanders of the three main battalions of the Tax Police Corps can be said to be Sun Liren's confidants, and the three battalion commanders and a large number of officers and soldiers sacrificed.

Although the intersection between Lin Rui and the third battalion commander was not deep, when he heard the news of his sacrifice, his mood couldn't help but feel a little heavier, and he immediately stood up and assured Sun Liren: "Please rest assured, within four hours, no little devil will want to pass through Liujiatang!" ”

Sun Liren looked at Lin Rui with great satisfaction, nodded and praised: "Well, it's good!" Courage is commendable! Give me two hours and I'll be able to regroup and talk to the dog again. Mother's 6th Wing will fight it out! ”

Sun Liren fought this battle, his second regiment of the tax police is a first-class ace unit, a regiment of more than 3,000 people, in fact, in terms of weapons and equipment, it is not worse than a little devil.

The difference is that the devil has strong firepower support from the navy and air force, while the national army cannot seize air and sea supremacy.

Under the suppression of the devil's naval artillery firepower, the second regiment of the tax police suffered heavy casualties, and ten percent of the combat effectiveness could not even give full play to half of it, so it lost the big field and retreated to Liujiatang.

In this regard, the high-spirited Sun Liren naturally resented himself and wanted to get back to the field.

Lin Rui said: "Please rest assured, since I have promised, I will definitely be able to do it, so there is no need to worry, you can rest calmly!" ”

Sun Liren patted Lin Rui on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then took the other battalion companies except the third battalion to the rear to correct it.

As the deputy commander of the third battalion, Lin Rui immediately took over the command of the entire third battalion.

At this time, the 7th and 9th companies of the 3rd battalion, as well as the troops directly under the battalion, had all been killed or wounded, so the total number of officers and men of the 3rd battalion who retreated to Liujiatang was less than 500, and only more than 400 remained.

Coupled with the more than 320 people of Lin Rui's Eighth Company, the total strength is only more than 700 people.

Compared with the fully equipped Japanese 6th Infantry Wing, it is far from the enemy, and it is absolutely outnumbered.

Almost as soon as Lin Rui had finished deploying the troops that had withdrawn from the third battalion, the forward pursuit troops of the 6th Infantry Wing swarmed in and appeared outside the Liujiatang position.

The geographical environment of Liujiatang is like this, this village is located in the middle of two small rivers in a north-south direction, these two small rivers in the north-south direction, one east and one west are like moats, and Liujiatang is guarded in the middle, and there are several small stone bridges on each small river for passage.

The devil attacked from east to west, and Lin Rui set up a blocking position on the east bank of the small river in the east, relying on three stone bridges less than 500 meters apart to build a defensive line.

It is a battle against the water, and if the devil wants to attack Liujiatang directly, he can only attack head-on from the front of the Eighth Company's position.

"Deputy battalion commander, the devil is here!" A squad leader who was responsible for leading the team at the front of the guard, after discovering the traces of the devil, immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Lin Rui, who was patrolling a foxhole, immediately lay down behind the bunker, raised his binoculars to look at it, and then turned his head to Lin Feng and Zhou Weihan and ordered: "Pass my order, and all companies and platoons will immediately enter the combat state, ready to fire at any time!" ”

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan and Lin Feng responded in unison, and then separated and left.

On the battlefield, more than 700 officers and men of the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Tax Police Regiment were all quickly ready for battle.

Outside the position, the first to arrive were hundreds of devils from the 1st Brigade of the 6th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, this 1st Brigade had lost a lot of people in the previous battle with the main force of the 2nd Tax Police Regiment, so now only two-thirds of the strength remained.

There were only about six or seven hundred people, and the leader of the 1st Brigade, Ming Chuan Nakasa, first raised his binoculars to observe Liujiatang, and found that there was silence here, and there was no other abnormality.

Eager to pursue the 2nd Tax Police Regiment, he waved his hand and ordered: "The 3rd Squadron will open the way in front, and the other units will follow up, quickly pass through here, and continue the pursuit!" ”

"Hay!" One of the accompanying lieutenants snapped his head and quickly conveyed his order.

As mentioned earlier, this 1st Squadron lost a third of its strength, so the 3rd Squadron, which originally had nearly 200 people, was left with only 120 people at this time.

Under the leadership of a lieutenant squadron leader, a skirmish line more than three or four hundred meters wide rushed towards the Liujiatang position of the third battalion.

Seeing this, Lin Rui immediately put down the telescope in his hand, picked up a Mauser 98K rifle, and raised it to aim at a Japanese second lieutenant who led the charge.
