The sky, obscured by a blood-red; The earth was also enveloped in the deafening sound of gunfire!

Both the offensive and defensive sides have made the greatest determination to decide the victory or defeat on this position, and the tragic battle is also a great test for both sides, both physically and mentally.

After receiving reinforcements from an infantry brigade, Takashi Tanno re-launched an all-out assault at 10 a.m. on 5 February, relying on superior artillery fire.

Such a fight is brutal and unjustifiable. The two sides are not fighting for how superb the tactical command is, how skilled the offensive and defensive skills are, the only thing for the two sides to compete is who can grit their teeth and persevere.

The 26th Division's indomitable will to fight has been proven from the beginning of the Battle of Dachang, and the Army's will to fight is not inferior to that of the 26th Division.

Those frenzied troops, under the cover of tanks, were repulsed in one attack, and without any adjustment, soon launched a second attack with a "whoop".

The two sides have already been red-eyed and mentally numb, and the sound of gunshots, cannons, and explosions is the best stimulation for them!

In fact, the metaphor of "madman" is perhaps the best description

The 3rd Battalion, which was at the forefront of the division, was completely different among the 26th Division.

Compared with the high morale of the 26th Division, but the inferior weapons, the equipment of the 3rd Battalion can be described as "sophisticated". They had a large number of machine guns, plenty of ammunition, and more than half of the officers and men in the battalion wore steel helmets.

Steel helmets usually look inconspicuous, but when fighting, they can often pull a person back from the line of death.

And Takashi Takashi obviously noticed this, and the focus of the army's attack quickly shifted to the direction of the 3rd battalion. Crushing the enemy's most elite troops will deal the heaviest blow to the enemy's morale.

The positions of the 3rd Battalion withstood artillery bombardment far beyond that of friendly troops, and the improvised positions had already been blown to pieces under such unscrupulous artillery fire by the Japanese army.

But for the brothers of the 3rd Battalion, these things have long been accustomed to.

On the battlefield, these soldiers showed such composure that they were not moved by these crazy artillery fire in the slightest. When the Japanese army began to bombard, they hid in their positions one by one, some chatting and bragging with loud voices, some smoking a cigarette, and some taking time to take a nap.

But as soon as the cannon stopped, these soldiers entered their positions one by one as if they had received orders

And every time Gao Fei appears in the most dangerous areas, the spiritual encouragement brought to them is undoubtedly huge.

An army needs a soul, and the 3rd Battalion undoubtedly already has it, and Goofy is their soul!

The several attacks of the Yue army made Gao Fei begin to notice that the field wing on the opposite side was indeed very different from the Yue army he had encountered before. The so-called elite of the elite does not mean how brave the soldiers should be in battle, how much they are not afraid of death, but the kind of calmness they show when the attack is unfavorable.

Field United has clearly done just that.

After several attacks were frustrated, according to past experience, the Yue army would inevitably go crazy and desperately retaliate with artillery fire, and then those soldiers would rush up under the cover of tanks, regardless of life and death. But that's not the case with Field United.

After the attack is frustrated, they will constantly adjust the direction of the attack, look for the weak point of the defender, and then take various ways to try to destroy this weak point, and then take advantage of the battlefield little by little.

On several occasions, the army rushed to the position of the 3rd Battalion through this method, and the white-knuckle battle occurred seven or eight times in a row, and several times the brothers relied on the big blades to fight the devil again and stabilize the position.

At this time, it is time to test the command and combat skills of the commanders of both sides.

"Abandon the left flank position!" Goofy suddenly ordered.

"What?" Ma Debi, who was directing the battle under artillery fire, was stunned for a moment, only to think that he had heard it wrong.

"Abandon the left flank position!" Goofy's answer left no room for maneuver: "Put the army in for me!" Ma Debi, you command the 1st platoon and 2nd platoon of the 4th company, and all the reconnaissance platoon of the battalion headquarters, once the army breaks through the left flank position, immediately take advantage of the unstable foothold of the army to launch a counterattack and re-plug the gap! ”

"Yes!" Ma Debi replied loudly, and he immediately understood Gao Fei's intentions.

"Draw one row for me in 2 rows!" Gao Fei said to Yu Wenzheng, the political training officer and commander of the 2nd Company, and then raised his voice: "All the personnel of the battalion headquarters are assembled!" ”

Goofy's 3rd Battalion is always an alternative.

In the 3rd Battalion, there was no distinction between combatants and non-combatants, all the men in the battalion headquarters carried guns, and those staff officers, clerks, and messengers were nominally non-combatants in peacetime, but once the battle began, these people were the reserve of the 3rd Battalion.

At this time, as soon as Gao Fei heard the gathering, everyone quickly lined up with their weapons.

At 10:30, under the fierce onslaught of the Japanese army, the 3rd Battalion took the initiative to abandon the left flank position. And the first to rush to the position was Yamamoto Gonosuke, the squadron leader of Takashi Tano's right-hand man.

Standing on the position of the Chinese, Gonosuke Yamamoto was complacent, and in his opinion, although the previous offensive encountered a little "trouble", the final victory was still his own!

Here, Gonosuke Yamamoto did not stay too long, but left a small team, and personally led the two teams to continue to develop in depth.

The tragedy of Yamamoto's squadron began here

"Brothers, follow me!"

As soon as Gonosuke Yamamoto left with the main force, Ma Debi, who had long been ambushed on the left, stood up and shouted. In an instant, more than 100 men rushed forward with a roar like a group of fierce tigers released from their cages.

The Yue army on the position was resting and rearing its fortifications, and they did not expect that the Chinese would launch a counteroffensive at such a short distance in such a short time, and by the time they reacted, those Sichuan soldiers with large blades had already rushed in front of them.

This squad also seriously drained its strength in several charges, and at this time only more than 30 people remained on the position, and the heavy machine gun, which relied on the most, did not have time to exert its due power due to the sudden attack of the attacking side.

Ma Debi ended the battle cleanly, only 3 of the 30 devils fled in disarray, and the rest were all annihilated!

This attack carried a great deal of concealment and suddenness, and then concentrated local superior forces to annihilate the enemy.

The red-eyed Yue army did not expect at all that Gao Fei dared to take the initiative to give up his position when the battle was so fierce, and once Ma Debi could not recapture the position in the shortest possible time, then the entire 3rd battalion flank would be completely exposed to the Yue army, and the defensive position would fall into serious passivity.

Goofy's bold and unexpected plan was a great success, and the next time, Yamamoto Unosuke also fell into the catastrophe

When gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing rang out from the position he had just captured in the rear, Gonosuke Yamamoto had already noticed that something was wrong, but at this time it was too late to regret it.

A large number of [***] people around have already rushed up with shouts, and it is obvious that relying only on two squads, when the back road has been cut off, will not do anything.

Gonosuke Yamamoto, who was fierce in his tactics, did not show how to panic, and soon ordered to build fortifications on the spot and arrive at the [***] team to attack.

The machine guns were quickly erected, and the machine gun positions composed of a commander, a shooter, and two ammunition men were skillfully coordinated, and the lethality brought was quite amazing. Six such machine-gun positions quickly formed an impermeable network of fire.

And the 50-mm grenadiers that assisted in the operation on the side were also constantly disrupting the offensive formation of the attacking side.

The advantage in weapons has an equally huge impact on both the defender and the attacker

In the face of the failure of the two attacks, Gao Fei was not in a hurry, he knew very well that it was not himself who should be anxious now, but Yu himself, who was in the encirclement. The only thing he had to think about was how to end the battle here as soon as possible and put his limited strength into the arduous frontal defense.

Goofy finally dispatched his trump card!

The "sniper team" of 11 battalions consisting of 3 marksmen with good marksmanship began to shoot!

This is another move by Goofy after he became the commander of the 3rd Battalion, focusing on those shooters who are skilled in archery, gathering them together, and staying by his side, once the battle cannot be opened, these shooters will sometimes be able to play a role in deciding the surname.

Among these marksmen, there are even two "high-level sharpshooters" from the previous [***] unit. And Goofy himself is also a sniper of the best!

The reason why Goofy chose the location of annihilation here was because he had already considered it before. The low-lying terrain is irreparable for the defenders.

In the previous two attacks, Goofy had figured out the situation of the army, and the sharpshooters began to put on a show.

These sharpshooters leaned out from the advantageous firing spots that had been hidden for a long time, and by their side, each of them was equipped with a proofreader, directing these sharpshooters to strike the enemy's vital forces more accurately.

The sniper shots were the first to fire from the high-flying guns.

From the beginning of the Battle of Shanghai, almost everyone in the 26th Division knew what a good marksman Gao Fei was, and this time Gao Fei did not disappoint his brothers.

After the gunfire rang out, a machine gun commander on a machine-gun position fell to the ground. Then the guns in the hands of all the marksmen rang out.

One by one, the machine gunners fell on their machine gun positions, and the firepower that had been crazy before became greatly weakened.

Taking advantage of this time, the Chinese officers and soldiers, who were originally suppressed by machine gun fire, shouted and re-launched the charge!

Yamamoto's squadron was completely in passivity.

The machine gunners were killed one after another, and the bullets that flew out of nowhere completely suppressed the Yamamoto squadron!
