Chapter 768: Not Even a Pig
More than 500 puppet troops began to advance rapidly towards the position, covered by four mortars and six heavy machine guns, and they felt that the Eighth Route Army on the position would definitely be completely suppressed.
Light machine guns and grenadiers were erected in different positions, and these light machine guns and grenadiers were prepared for cover.
The officers and men of the second company of the first battalion and the machine gun company on the position were ready to shoot, and they were waiting for the order of the battalion commander Huang Gang.
Huang Gang held a telescope to observe the distance between the puppet army and the position, he waited silently, and when the puppet army was less than a hundred meters away from the position, Huang Gang gave the order to shoot.
As Huang Gang's order began to be issued, three infantry guns, five heavy machine guns, nine light machine guns, and nine grenadiers on the position immediately launched a fire strike.
Light and heavy machine guns fired rows of bullets that formed a network of crossfire, and a pseudo-officer began to fall to the ground, wailing in pain.
When the fire attack was launched on the position, the charging puppet officers and soldiers were once again knocked down in a large area, and hundreds of puppet officers and soldiers were killed on the spot.
This time, the puppet army learned a lot smarter, and after the officers and soldiers in front were killed, the puppet officers and soldiers behind immediately lay on the ground, and at the same time they quickly crawled towards the back.
"Boom, boom!" Three infantry guns began to fire continuously, and one after another high-explosive shells were fired.
Every time a high-explosive bomb falls on the ground, there will be a huge explosion sound, and the shock wave will begin to spread to the surroundings at the explosion point, and all the puppet officers and soldiers who are relatively close to the explosion point will be shocked to death on the spot, while the puppet officers and soldiers who are far away will be hit by shrapnel.
High-explosive shells were fired without interruption, and shells exploded one after another near the puppet officers and soldiers.
The number of casualties of the puppet army began to reach more than 200 people, and the remaining puppet officers and soldiers quickly withdrew from the battlefield, knowing that if they continued to charge, they would definitely be killed.
The commander of the first regiment of the puppet army saw that nearly half of his men had been killed and wounded, and the expression on his face became solemn, and he immediately gave the order to stop the attack.
Picking up the binoculars and looking at Shuangmiao Village, the puppet army commander realized that there were quite a few people in the Eighth Route Army in Shuangmiao Village, and he immediately reported this information to Cheng Wenxuan.
At this time, here in Beiyuan Village, Sun Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong were looking at the map, and Zhang Wenbin's third battalion, which captured Baiheji, met the vanguard of the Second Division of the Imperial Association Army in Baiheji at this time, and the two sides had also started a battle, and Zhang Wenbin immediately reported the news to Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong.
Although Zhang Wenbin did not mention the issue of asking for help in the telegram, Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong knew that there were more than 3,000 people in the Second Division of the Imperial Cooperation Army, and Zhang Wenbin's third battalion troops were still under some pressure in the face of them, and Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong planned to immediately send Liu Jingnuma's second battalion to reinforce the past.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, the troops of the 1st Division of the puppet army have marched to Shuangmiao Village, and the troops of the 1st Battalion of Huang Gang have exchanged fire with them. In addition, the vanguard of the second division of the puppet army has arrived at Baiheji, and their vanguard has exchanged fire with Zhang Wenbin's third battalion, and there are no other troops in the Baiheji area except for Zhang Wenbin's third battalion, but Li Jiaxin's artillery unit can give them artillery reinforcements. Yue Wu, the section chief of the Operations Section, came to Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong and immediately reported.
"What about Liu Jingnuma's second battalion, where are they now?" Sun Weiguo then asked.
"Commander, the second battalion has conquered the coriander battalion, and they are preparing to attack Du Cunji." Yue Wu quickly replied.
"Let Liu Jingnuma's second battalion, the mortar company of the Independent Regiment, and the mountain artillery company quickly reinforce Zhang Wenbin's third battalion, and tell them that the speed must be fast, it is now nine o'clock in the evening, and they must rush to Baiheji within an hour, and send a telegram to Zhang Wenbin, so that they must hold on to Baiheji for an hour."
Sun Weiguo looked at Yue Wu, and said with a serious expression on his face.
"Yes, Commander." Yue Wu saluted Sun Weiguo, and then he walked out quickly, and he began to convey Sun Weiguo's orders.
Outside Shuangmiao Village, Cheng Wenxuan's face became extremely gloomy, he didn't know now that Sun Weiguo had given several orders in a row.
Sun Weiguo ordered Liu Jingnuma's 2nd Battalion to immediately reinforce Zhang Wenbin's 3rd Battalion at Baiheji, while Sun Weiguo ordered Zheng Guan Zilin's 4th Battalion in Daying Village to immediately march towards Shuangmiao Village, while Li Jiaxin's 3rd Artillery Battalion provided artillery support to Huang Gang's 1st Battalion.
Sun Weiguo planned to use the first battalion, the fourth battalion, and the third artillery battalion to deal with the first division of the Imperial Allied Army, and two infantry battalions and an artillery battalion to deal with the puppet army and a division.
Zheng Guan Zilin's fourth battalion began to set off from Daying Village, and hundreds of officers and soldiers quickly advanced towards Shuangmiao Village, but Cheng Wenxuan did not know all this.
After Cheng Wenxuan received the report from the First Regiment of the Puppet Army, his face became extremely gloomy, his brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes looked coldly towards Shuangmiao Village.
"How the hell are you fighting, how can there be hundreds of casualties, even if you are a herd of pigs, you will take the position if you rush straight over. Waste, I don't think you're even a pig, you're really disappointing me. Cheng Wenxuan looked at the commander of the first regiment of the puppet army in front of him, and he said in a cold tone.
The commander of the first regiment of the puppet army lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at Cheng Wenxuan at all, his face was full of nervous expressions.
"Deputy division commander, the Eighth Route Army has very strong firepower, and we are not their opponents at all. I don't think we should continue to attack Shuangmiao Village, let's choose to go back from other places, if we continue to storm Shuangmiao Village, we will definitely have to use up all our forces. ”
After being silent for a long time, the commander of the first regiment of the puppet army said with a face full of embarrassment.
"Deputy division commander, the first regiment can't take Shuangmiao Village, and even if the other two regiments rush together, they may not be the opponents of the Eighth Route Army. Let's take a detour from the flank for now, if we continue to stay here, we will definitely be attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army. The officer on the side immediately said.
"We can't take a detour from the side, once we exchange fire with the Eighth Route Army in Zhangliji, I'm afraid we will be destroyed faster, the first regiment continues to attack Shuangmiao Village, contain the Eighth Route Army in front of Shuangmiao Village, the second regiment and the third regiment attack from both sides, if we can't capture Shuangmiao Village, all parts will break out of the encirclement, and we will gather in Huilong Town."
Cheng Wenxuan pondered for a while, he looked at the commanders of the three regiments, and he immediately gave the battle order.
He knew that now he had no other way out than to capture Shuangmiao Village.
