Due to the smooth progress of all fronts, the 51st Division issued an order to continue the offensive, and the 305th Regiment, which was in the frontal battlefield at the west gate of Gao'an City, also launched an order to attack the enemy's position at Dayu Temple.

The three battalions of the three dogs were bearing the brunt of the attack, attacking the position of the Great Fool Temple, and the first battalion of Chen Chuanjun made a detour back to the flank of the Great Fool Temple to attack the enemy's rear road outside the west gate of Gao'an City.

Tan Shizhang's second battalion was divided into one company to monitor and cover the southern flank of the third battalion, and the other two companies were on standby as the reserve of the regimental headquarters.

The regiment's machine gun company also moved to the battalion headquarters of the third battalion to assist the third battalion in attacking the Japanese position in Dayu Temple.

The battalion headquarters of Sangou was also pulled into the hilly position that the Seventh Company had beaten down, and the battalion command post was originally a regulation on how far away from the enemy was, in principle, about 1,000 meters.

That is, it is on the edge of the enemy's heavy machine gun attack range, and cannot be covered by the enemy's heavy machine gun fire, and the regimental headquarters is generally on the edge of the enemy's general artillery range, and the division headquarters is outside the range of ordinary artillery.

As for the company headquarters, it is very close to the enemy's firepower, usually around the range of light machine guns, and there are many cases where the company commander takes the lead in rushing at critical times.

Sangou moved the battalion headquarters forward to a hill position 600 meters away from the enemy, which was a very risky act, but now is a critical time, and Sangou can't care about so much.

Fortunately, there is a bunker built by the Japanese army in the hill position, and in the bunker, Sangou can see the general situation of the position of Dayu Temple with the help of the flares that the Japanese army continues to rise.

The hill position here is still a little high, compared to the field below, besides, the enemy of the Great Fool Temple, in order to defend, has cleared all the firing boundaries in the 400-meter area in front of the position, and the vision is very good.

The key is not these, the serious thing is that the Japanese army dug a deep trench in front of the position, just like the anti-tank trench that Sangou used to defend against tanks.

The Japanese army knew that there were not many tanks in China, and they spent so much effort to dig such a wide and deep trench, not to defend against tanks, but mainly to prevent the attack of China.

Moreover, this trench is not necessarily dug by themselves, the Japanese army will find the Chinese people everywhere when they go to one place, force them to dig trenches, do not pay wages, work for free, do not kill you, and can give you something to eat, which is already very good.

In the telescope, Sangou looked at this deep trench and couldn't help frowning, the third battalion and even the 305th regiment had no powerful offensive weapons.

In the face of this deep trench and the Japanese firepower hidden behind the deep trench, if the soldiers of the third battalion wanted to attack hard, they did not know how many people would die.

Sangou pulled the bamboo pole and discussed how to use the mortar to blow up a few openings in the deep trench and let the soldiers rush over.

At the same time, Sangou also ordered Qilian to prepare more demomen to blast through the walls of the deep trenches, and use the blasted dirt to fill the trenches at a certain breakthrough point.

After the attack order was issued, the mortars of the bamboo poles were targeted to blow up the walls of the trenches in several places, and the mortars of the regimental machine gun company were responsible for blowing up the exposed fire points of the Japanese troops, or they could bomb blindly.

All the heavy machine guns were aimed at the gun holes of the fortresses behind the Japanese trenches and carried out fire blockade.

The demomen of the 7th Company, divided into several groups, under the cover of light and heavy machine guns behind them, threw smoke bombs, approached the deep trench, first blew up the edge of the trench on this side, then along the ditch, and then blew up the wall of the trench opposite.

Then they rushed into the breach, and the demolition team relayed each other, blasting all the way through, and the soldiers behind them used the soil blasted by the walls of the trench on both sides to fill the bottom of the trench and followed.

Since the Japanese army dug such a deep trench, there must be no tanks, and it is estimated that there is a brigade of Japanese troops here, although they are equipped with infantry guns, but they cannot be used at night.

The Japanese army did not expect that the mortars of the Chinese ** were so powerful at night, and the fire points of some light and heavy machine guns were often blown up, and they were also suppressed by the opponent's heavy machine guns.

The Japanese also tried to shoot mortars, but they did not have the technology to shoot at night, and they could not hit the heavy machine gun fire point of the first class, let alone the first mortar.

The heavy machine guns of the machine gun company, on the small hill, with a somewhat condescending momentum, swept across the forward position of the Japanese army's Dayu Temple, and the dense and rapid firepower blocked the Japanese position so that no bird could fly.

After the Japanese army saw such rapid firepower, and the deep trenches in the forward positions were also blown up, and a large number of Chinese soldiers poured in, the devils had to organize men and horses to carry out a counter-charge.

A large number of devils held bayonets and rushed towards the soldiers who broke through to the seventh company, trying to block these Chinese soldiers who broke through.

The assault team of the seventh company, led by Wu Dingli, the commander of the first platoon, first threw grenades, then barges guns and knives, and fought to the death with the Japanese troops in the trenches.

These gaps were like pieces of fat, and the soldiers on both sides were like ants, swarming up in piles, increasing their numbers at several breaches.

Seeing this, Sangou immediately called the soldiers of the machine gun company to divide into two routes, half of the mortars continued to bomb the deep trenches at other points, and half of the mortars extended their fire to bomb the reinforcements on the road from the second defense to the first defense of the Japanese army.

The same is true of heavy machine guns, extending to the past, mainly to cut off the continuity of the Japanese reinforcements, so that the road of the Japanese reinforcements is blocked, and a large number of devils cannot pass the second and third defense positions in the back.

At the same time, the Eighth Company, which had moved to the northern position of the Great Fool Temple, also launched a swift attack, and the Ninth Company to the south was also swooping down on the rear road of the Great Fool Temple.

This set of combined boxing tactics on the local battlefield beat the enemy a little confused, and also frightened the Japanese troops in Dayu Temple, because the first and second battalions of the 305th Regiment were also attacking the West Gate position of Gao'an City.

Once the West Gate is broken through, the position of the Great Fool Temple outside the West Gate is equivalent to useless, and there is even a danger of extinction, the captain of the second brigade of the 103rd Wing of the Japanese Army knows that if he does not rise up at this time, the military spirit is likely to be scattered.

As a result, the second brigade organized several counterattack troops, led by light machine gunners, and all bayonets and grenades in the back, facing several breakthroughs, began a counter-charge.

Because the soldiers on both sides kept coming into contact with each other, almost spreading to the entire position of the Great Fool Temple, the mortars and heavy machine guns of the machine gun company could no longer fight, for fear of hurting their own people.

Taking advantage of the current melee, the soldiers of the 8th and 9th companies also broke through the positions north and south of the Dayu Temple, joined the 7th company, and broke through the core position of the Japanese army together.

There were shouts of killing on the battlefield, and there were fights everywhere, this kind of melee in the dark night, the probability of casualties was very high, and there were too many uncertain factors.

However, in the face of the Japanese army, which has an absolute advantage in weapons, only this kind of night combat and close combat can remove the Japanese army's weapon advantage, and its own casualty rate is high, and the same is true for the Japanese army.

Looking for such a good opportunity to fight with the number of dead and wounded of the Japanese army, Sangou immediately asked the regimental headquarters to send a reserve to give the greatest blow to the enemy in the position of Dayu Temple outside the west gate of Gao'an City.
