Chapter 351: The Japanese Army Retreats Eastward
The two sides fought.
The Chinese army, of course, had the upper hand.
An infantry platoon of more than thirty men fired fiercely at the enemy.
Three light machine guns swept along the empty space under the corn stalks.
They discovered not only the enemy's spearheads, but also the enemy's main forces.
After a few seconds of intense shooting, a squad of Japanese soldiers was almost wiped out.
The in-depth strafing of the machine guns also caused more than ten casualties to the main force behind the Japanese army.
There were less than 150 people, and a detachment of 30 people was divided to the south, with more than 10 sharp soldiers, and the whole army was annihilated, and the remaining main force was only 100 people.
There were more than 10 casualties, and the troops that could really fight were only more than 80 people.
The Japanese army was shocked, and Lieutenant Takemiya exclaimed in surprise and ordered all the troops to lurk and observe the movements of the Chinese army.
"Shoot, shoot!"
Before he shouted, the Japanese were already shooting.
Machine guns, rifles, just without grenadiers and mortars.
The Wugong squadron has eight grenadiers, three mortars, and the detachment that went south took away a third of it, and there are quite a few here.
Unfortunately, under the block of the very high corn stalks, the Japanese troops could not fire them casually, in case the shells went out and were intercepted by the corn stalks and thick leaves, the Japanese soldiers themselves would be killed by the explosion.
Can only be fired from machine-gun strafing rifles.
Lieutenant Takemiya was smart and professional, and as soon as he saw the situation, he gave the order and assaulted forward!
Punch hard and crush the Chinese in one fell swoop.
When he heard the gunshots, he knew that there were few Chinese.
The Japanese launched a charge, not head-on, but head-on, with two flanks, which was their usual trick.
In this way, the Japanese army quickly charged in front of them.
They threw grenades and bombarded Chinese troops, killing and wounding more than a dozen Chinese soldiers.
However, the Chinese soldiers, who were ambushes, also stared at that side, and also opened fire, killing and wounding several Japanese soldiers.
A machine gun group of Chinese soldiers, turning their guns, fired at a charging enemy, and several Japanese soldiers were disemboweled, facing the sky on their backs.
With a ditch as a bunker, the soldiers of the Chinese army have a geographical advantage.
However, seeing that the Japanese army was so ferocious, the Chinese ambush soldiers could not parry, and quickly retreated.
As soon as Lieutenant Takemiya heard the gunshots, he knew that he had won: "Chase!" Press it over, and destroy the enemy in one go! ”
The Japanese army rushed forward in full swing.
The fleeing Chinese infantry platoon, constantly turning back to shoot, retarded the enemy's speed.
The officers and men here do not have very good combat skills, but they have a very strong will to fight.
They are all geographically linked combat units.
Many people belong to the same village, and even, how can their own family easily abandon their comrades-in-arms and relatives?
The squad leader and the platoon commander talked, and it was quite a talk.
Fight and retreat, waiting for reinforcements.
An infantry platoon received the news and quietly rushed over from the flank.
The Japanese army was rushing forward and was frantically pressing over, and this Chinese infantry platoon appeared in the rear of the Japanese army.
They chased the Japanese until they came to the front before they suddenly attacked!
The most ruthless attack.
Silent stabbing at the enemy with a bayonet!
Poof, poof.
Assassinated several devils one after another.
By the time the devils were alert, the fighters here had already set up their machine guns and shot forward from the gap along the ranks of corn.
The Japanese soldiers who were running, they couldn't see their bodies, but they could find their legs, machine gun bullets swept over, and the three machine guns were laid out in a row, and the legs of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were broken, and when they poured, they were pierced through the stomach and other important parts of the body.
The Japanese suffered heavy losses.
About twenty people, in one attack, were either killed or maimed, paralyzed, fell to the ground, and lost their ability to fight.
The Japanese army was attacked, so frightened that they had to stop and split into two ways to deal with the pursuing troops behind.
After a bitter battle, the Chinese army quietly retreated.
The main force of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army's eastern aid was only about 30 left.
Moreover, they were seriously afraid of the combat capabilities of the Chinese army, and even chose to retreat under the leadership of Lieutenant Wu Miya!
A unit of more than 30 people needs to take care of more than 20 wounded soldiers, how much energy can they have to fight?
Lieutenant Wu Gong believes that on the way forward, there must be a large number of Chinese troops ambushing repeatedly, such a deep cornfield, a small army of more than 30 people is not looking for death?
More than 30 people from the southbound detachment of the Wugong team arrived at the county seat very smoothly.
However, they were greeted by the ruins of the empty county town.
Curious Japanese soldiers climbed the city wall one after another, because the city wall collapsed, and some moats were blocked and flattened.
Standing on the city wall, they saw a terrible sight, pieces of corpses, all of them were imperial army land.
In fact, there are also more corpses of Chinese soldiers and civilians, which have been cleaned up by our army itself.
Is there no one left in the county?
Yes, the guards noticed that the enemy was approaching, and they hid.
The captain of the Japanese detachment, who obviously had poor command ability and security awareness, ordered the search to move forward.
I was scattering to the front to look for it, when suddenly a gunshot rang out, and then, groups of human heads stuck out from the front, and then, black barrels, bursts of explosive flames!
Hundreds of Chinese troops, coming out of the hidden ruins, fired indiscriminately, and beat the Japanese detachment on the spot to the point that there were not a few hairs left!
The remnants of the Japanese army hurriedly fled, but the bullets didn't have long eyes.
In the end, only two or three Japanese soldiers escaped.
The Japanese army's eastern aid failed!
However, this rescue operation quickly changed the battlefield layout of the entire Japanese army.
Lieutenant Takemiya, after retreating, used walkie-talkies and radios, dual channels, to report to the captain of the infantry group on the left flank about the trap problem in the east.
All of a sudden, the captain of the infantry brigade woke up.
"Huh? Where the Chinese army is heavily ambushed? Could it be the county seat? Captain Takeda quickly ordered to contact the co-captain in the county.
After repeated contacts, there was no response.
"Oops, are they broken?" Takeda Shaosa was very clever, and contacted another infantry captain on the northern front, and contacted Captain Fujii.
In the end, only the right-wing infantry brigade on the northern front responded, but the infantry captain was concentrating his forces and counterattacking the Chinese army: "A fierce battle is raging, and our army has encountered the main force of the Chinese army!" ”
Takeda Shaoza thought about it and decided to shrink the front.
He withdrew all the troops from the west, leaving a lieutenant, with two squadrons and the Chinese army, mainly taking a defensive posture, and leading three squadrons, including a cavalry squadron of more than 50 people, to reinforce the county seat.
The remnants of Lieutenant Takemiya, who served as a vanguard and guide.
The infantry battalion of the Chinese army on the southern front was once under great pressure, and an infantry battalion, more than 500 people, lost half of its strength after two hours of fighting!
More than 130 people were killed and more than 120 were wounded, and if it wasn't for Takeda Shaoza's withdrawal of troops, or for reinforcements from an infantry battalion in the middle, they would not have been able to withstand it.
