Chapter 5 5. Japanese raid

Early in the morning, Liang Meng's third battalion had just assembled and was ready to go out. Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran over: "The battalion commander is terrible, a squadron of little devils is about to arrive in our defense area." โ€

"What!"

The commander of the third battalion was so angry that he paced back and forth: "Labor and management just had a bloody battle with the little devil some time ago, and most of the combat power was lost, and the anger has not eased up and come to me again." Quickly, go and inform the 1st and 2nd Battalions, and ask them to send an additional company of troops to support me. If the labor and management don't cripple them this time, they won't have a surname. โ€

"Quick, order the troops to quickly enter the position, and the recruits will stay in the camp for the time being."

Liang Meng has served in the special forces for many years and has extremely rich practical combat experience and excellent military skills. Compared with ordinary soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, he is the elite of the elite, and he can block a hundred with a hundred.

There are about 180 people in a squadron of devils, and their equipment and individual combat capabilities are far stronger than those of the Eighth Route Army. Besides, now the strength of the three battalions is insufficient, how to fight against the menacing Japanese army.

Thinking of this, Liang Meng's heart ignited with a surging blood. The little devils have all hit him, how can he stay in the base camp with peace of mind.

Liang Meng ran to the battalion commander: "Battalion commander, I also want to participate in the battle." โ€

Third Battalion Commander: "You recruit has not been trained, why are you in a hurry?" You're my prize, and I'm not going to let you die for nothing. โ€

The commander of the third battalion directly rejected Liang Meng's request and rushed to the command position. Liang Meng stepped forward to block the way of the third battalion commander, with a resolute attitude: "I participated in the Eighth Road to fight devils, not to be a bad seed." โ€

The third battalion commander stared at Liang Meng for a long time and was silent.

Liang Meng continued: "Battalion commander, the enemy is at present, and the national disaster is at the head. As a soldier, you should go on the field to kill the enemy, I, Liang Meng, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I sit and wait when the devils are killed at the door? โ€

Liang Meng's words seem to have irresistible power, and his words reveal perseverance and anger. From his eyes, the commander of the third battalion saw the fierce burning battle intent.

This time, it was a squadron of devils, about 180 people. In the past, a battalion could barely withstand the attack of a squadron of devils, but now it has lost more than half of its combat strength. The remaining half of the battalion, not to mention the defense, is at risk of being completely annihilated.

In this kind of 100,000 urgent situation, how can you care about any training or not, it is a great luck to be able to block the attack of the little devil. One more person is one more power.

After thinking about it again, Battalion Commander He patted Liang Meng on the shoulder: "Very good, worthy of the soldiers recruited by me He, bloody and courageous." Kill me a few more devils, but remember. Don'tโ€”giveโ€”laborโ€”capitalโ€”die. โ€

The commander of the third battalion likes this Liang Meng more and more, not only is he strong in martial arts, he is skilled, and his ideological consciousness is higher than that of ordinary soldiers. This consciousness of putting national interests above his own interests made him admire them even more.

Battalion Commander He agreed to Liang Meng's request, he was overjoyed, and gave a military salute forcefully: "Yes." โ€

All the fighters of the third battalion quickly assembled, took up their weapons and rushed to the defense position in accordance with the pre-established plan. Liang Meng was assigned to a position in the rear and was responsible for carrying ammunition supplies.

The commander of the third battalion was not a fool either, and it was impossible for a man of manufacturable material to charge forward at the forefront of the position.

Moreover, the weapons and ammunition were not sufficient, and the three of them barely got a rifle. Liang Meng is a newcomer, so naturally he doesn't have his own weapons, and he can only stare dryly and be anxious when he goes to the position.

......

The brigade led by Shino Ueno Shosa is conducting a second attack on the Eight Roads in this mountainous area.

Shino Ueno Shaosa was looking at the map at the command post, and he drew a circle on the map with a pen: "Today, no matter what, we must exterminate this eight-way force, and give me a capture before dark." โ€

The sound of gunfire was deafening, and the whole mountain was filled with gunsmoke.

The little devils of a squadron have already launched a fierce attack on Niutou Mountain, where the third battalion is located. Battalion Commander He of the 3rd Battalion held a telescope to observe the Japanese army's offensive situation.

These little devils are menacing, and it looks like they're going to eat us alive.

At this time, the herald rushed to the command post of the third battalion.

Before he could catch his breath when he rushed into the command post, he quickly reported loudly: "Report to the battalion commander, the hill where the 1st and 2nd Battalions are located was suddenly attacked by a Japanese squadron at the same time, and they were all in a fierce battle and could not send reinforcements. It is expected that the total number of Japanese troops attacking our defense zone will be the strength of a large group. โ€

"What?"

Battalion Commander He's iron fist slammed the table, and the lid of the cup shook and turned over: "The first battalion and the second battalion were attacked at the same time, it seems that the little devil is an organized and premeditated raid this time, and plans to annihilate our 998th regiment." โ€

The devils who attacked the Niutou Mountain defense area where the third battalion was located had the strength of a squadron, and some time ago, the third battalion suffered nearly half of the casualties, and only more than 180 people remained.

The devils have strong individual combat ability, are well-equipped, and use light and heavy weapons together. In the case of equal forces, not to mention blocking the enemy's attack, it is already remarkable to be able to preserve the formation.

Nima's, how is this battle going to be fought? If the equipment is as good as the devil, labor and management will beat them to the point of crying dad and mother.

In distress, the heralds of the regimental headquarters rushed to the command post of Battalion Commander He again.

Radio is a fairly scarce resource. Except for units at the brigade level and above, most regimental headquarters did not even have a radio station, and had to rely on messengers to transmit messages.

The herald reported: "Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese Shino Brigade was divided into three routes, and three squadrons launched a surprise attack in the direction of the three battalions of our regiment at the same time. Thousands of civilians in the mountains could not be transferred in time, and the regimental headquarters ordered to hold their positions to the death, repel the enemy's attack, and not let a single Japanese soldier in. โ€

Battalion Commander He's face was solemn: "Please tell the regiment commander, this time I just put all my family resources together and won't let the devil step into the village." โ€

The strength of a brigade of devils surrounded all the hills in the defense area where the 998th Regiment was located from different directions. And the people in the mountains are too late to move at this time.

In order to save the lives of thousands of people, the 998th Regiment had no way to retreat, and it had to resist the enemy's attack. As long as he can delay the time, his superiors will definitely order reinforcements from nearby troops.

The commander of the third battalion urgently summoned the two company commanders and gave the order to die: "Now our situation is extremely critical, the first and second battalions are attacked by the Japanese army at the same time, and we are now isolated. The higher authorities ordered us to hold our positions and never let the little devils step further. Behind us are thousands of ordinary people. I've got to drag the little devil for me. โ€

The two company commanders were well aware of the current situation, and still made a military order, even if the last drop of blood was shed and the bones were broken, they would never let the little devil step over our corpses.

The commander of the Japanese army, Shino Ueno Shaosa, also gave an order that the position of the 998th Regiment must be captured before dark.

The defense area of the three battalions of the Eighth Route Army entered a white-hot stage from the beginning of the engagement. The devils did not want to fight a protracted war, but concentrated superior artillery fire and bombarded fiercely. (Collect!) Ask for recommendations! ๏ผ‰
