Chapter 767: Fierce Battle in Shuangmiao Village
More than 1,000 people of the 1st Regiment of the puppet army began to advance towards Shuangmiao Village, and six 75MM mountain guns continued to shell Shuangmiao Village.
Compared with Guo Qing, Cheng Wenxuan has a certain command ability, he has served in the Northwest Army, and he has also learned some command, and he has also trained the first division of the Imperial Cooperative Army.
The First Division of the Imperial Association Army had some combat effectiveness, and more than 1,000 people opened a long line of skirmishers, and they took advantage of the cover of night to quickly advance towards Shuangmiao Village.
The puppet officers and soldiers marched very fast, and when they were less than a kilometer away from the outer positions of Shuangmiao Village, the four mortars of the first regiment of the puppet army immediately began to be erected, and the muzzles of the four mortars were aimed at Shuangmiao Village, and they did not start shooting, but waited for the fire of the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the light and heavy firepower of the Eighth Route Army in Shuangmiao Village began to fire, they would immediately fire artillery shells to suppress it.
The puppet officers and soldiers continued to march, and when they were 800 meters away from the outer positions, the puppet army's six Makqin heavy machine guns were immediately erected, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed at Shuangmiao Village.
The cooperation of these puppet troops is quite tacit, and the officers continue to issue orders in the back, and the various weapons of the puppet army troops stay in different positions to set up positions.
After the mortars and heavy machine guns were set up, the light machine guns and grenadiers followed the puppet officers and soldiers to advance, and the commander of the first regiment of the puppet army was on the heavy machine gun position, he held a telescope and looked towards Shuangmiao Village, with a solemn expression on his face.
Because it was in the dark night, the puppet army commander could not observe the specific situation of Shuangmiao Village, but the puppet army commander could feel that there must be a lot of people in the Eighth Route Army in Shuangmiao Village.
"Pulling out the battle formation, the troops must rush over in the shortest possible time, as long as they rush in front of these Eighth Route Armies and solve them with white-knuckle combat. These Eighth Route Army troops are not good at white-knuckle combat, and they will certainly not be our opponents. The puppet legion leader shouted.
The herald immediately conveyed the order of the puppet regiment commander to the front-line officers, and more than 900 people from three battalions of the puppet army quickly marched to the front.
At this time, only the second company and the machine gun company were stationed in the peripheral positions, but Huang Gang, the commander of the first battalion, personally went to the peripheral positions to direct the operation.
Listening to the constant sound of "clanging" in front of him, Huang Gang knew that the puppet officers and soldiers were already less than fifty meters away from the position.
"Flare it." Huang Gang immediately gave the order.
NINE GRENADIERS AND TWO 60MM MORTARS FIRED FLARES ONE AFTER ANOTHER.
As the flares began to be shot into the air, the dark night instantly became like day, and a large number of pseudo-officers and soldiers were exposed to the sight of the officers and soldiers.
The puppet army closest to the position was already less than 200 meters away, and this puppet army did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would have flares.
They immediately lay on the ground, and the light machine guns that were advancing with the puppet soldiers also began to launch heavy fire on the position.
More than a dozen Czech light machine guns organized a network of fire, and the bullets fired at the positions as if they didn't want money.
As soon as the smoke and dust were raised, the puppet soldiers quickly marched forward under the cover of light machine guns.
The commander of the second company and the commander of the machine gun company looked at Huang Gang, and they were waiting for Huang Gang to give the order to shoot.
"Don't shoot yet, follow my orders to fight." Huang Gang shouted loudly.
More than 200 puppet troops quickly approached the outer positions under the cover of light machine guns, and they held rifles, charging and firing at the positions.
Medium formal rifle bullets, Hanyang-made rifle bullets, Czech-style light machine gun bullets, crooked handle light machine gun bullets, and the bullets of the puppet army hit the position like a rain of bullets.
The pseudo-officers and soldiers are getting closer and closer, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, eighty meters!
Because of the flares, the surroundings were bright, and the officers and men of the second company on the position could even see clearly the faces of the puppet officers and soldiers on the opposite side.
Fifty meters, the puppet officers and soldiers were less than fifty meters away from the outer positions, Huang Gang picked up the shell gun, and he directly pulled the trigger!
A bullet was fired, and one of the puppet soldiers who rushed to the front was directly shot by a shell gun.
As the guns rang out, the officers and men of the second company immediately started shooting, more than 100 Type 38 rifles, nine Czech light machine guns, nine Type 89 grenadiers, two 60MM mortars, and two Type 92 heavy machine guns fired one after another, and the bullets and miniature grenades fired at the puppet army together.
The three Type 92 infantry guns of the machine gun company and the three Maxim heavy machine guns also fired at the same time, and the three Type 92 infantry guns fired high-explosive shells, and the three high-explosive shells fell into the puppet army column, and with the explosion of the high-explosive shells, a huge explosion sounded, and the puppet officers and soldiers began to wail in pain.
Five heavy machine guns also began to organize a crossfire network, and the bullets were fired at the puppet officers and soldiers without dead ends.
There is a clear difference between the shooting of the officers and men of the second company and the shooting of the puppet army, which is to strafe and shoot all the bullets in a second.
But the shooters of the second company fired accurately, and every bullet they shot hit the body of the puppet soldiers.
Nine light machine guns became the backbone of the fire, and rows of puppet soldiers fell under the fire of nine Czech light machine guns.
More than 200 puppet soldiers were killed on the spot, more than 70 were killed, and more than 40 were injured, and the remaining puppet officers and soldiers immediately lay on the ground.
A puppet soldier was holding a Type 38 rifle and wanted to shoot, but as soon as he picked up the Type 38 rifle, a sniper on the position directly shot him dead.
"Shoot, hit me hard, what are you still doing in a daze!" The commander of the pseudo-regiment, hiding in a heavy machine-gun position, shouted.
Six Maxim heavy machine guns began to fire at the position, and one bullet after another fired directly at the position.
At the same time, the four mortars of the 1st Regiment of the puppet army also began to fire at Shuangmiao Village, and shells and bullets fiercely hit the position.
"Hide, hide." Huang Gang immediately gave the order.
The officers and men immediately began to take refuge in the air-raid shelters, and the shells and bullets of the puppet army hit fiercely, but the officers and men were not threatened in any way.
Even some veterans were comfortable eating dry food, and the positions built by the Second Company were all anti-artillery holes.
These anti-artillery holes were not only able to defend against air attacks by Japanese aircraft, but also to evade artillery shells.
The puppet army's four mortars and six heavy machine guns continued to fire for ten minutes, and at this time, the first regiment of the puppet army also organized more than 500 infantry.
The more than 500 infantry were concealed two or three hundred meters from the position, and when the four mortars and six heavy machine guns stopped firing, they immediately began to charge.
Two puppet battalion commanders followed behind, and the infantry charged with rifles, they were very fast, and these puppet troops were planning to capture the position in one go.
On the position, a terrible whistle sounded, and the officers and men who had taken refuge in the anti-artillery holes immediately returned to the trenches.
Light and heavy machine guns were set up again, and the officers and men waited for the order of their commander to shoot.
