Chapter 795: Ambush the Enemy Squadron
The 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the 1st Mixed Battalion had begun to attack the positions of the 1st Battalion with the assistance of the machine gun squadron and the artillery squadron, while the 4th Squadron had begun to assist from the flanks, the heavy shelling of the artillery wing had begun to cease, and a large number of devil soldiers had begun to rush towards the position.
Outside the town of Suogong fell into a fierce battle again, Wang Tieniu, the commander of the unknown regiment, and Ji Haotian, the commander of the first battalion, were all on the front line to command the operation.
On the road to the south of Suochun Town, more than 100 devil soldiers of the Japanese Fourth Squadron were rapidly advancing to the front, and the Japanese First Mixed Brigade dispatched three infantry squadrons, while the Third Squadron, which suffered losses in the attack on Gutou Village, stayed in Gutou Village to protect the safety of the brigade headquarters.
The captain of the 4th Squadron held a telescope and looked ahead, he had his own thoughts in his heart.
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and for the captain of the 4th squadron, he wants to be promoted to the rank of major lieutenant.
The captain of the 4th Squadron knew that if he could capture the town, he would definitely be rewarded by Kunomura Momoyo, and he would even be promoted to the rank of army major.
The three infantry squads were marching towards the front quickly, each of them had different ideas in their hearts, but they would never know that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in two companies were already eyeing them, and hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route were waiting for the order of the commander Sun Weiguo.
Sun Weiguo silently calculated the distance between the two sides in his heart, and at the same time he looked towards Gutou Village, and his face showed a solemn expression.
After ambushing and annihilating the 4th Squadron of the Japanese Army, the 1st Company and the Machine Gun Company had to rush to Gutou Village as quickly as possible, and they had to capture Gutou Village in the shortest possible time, and then quickly establish a defensive position to resist the counterattack of the Japanese troops.
"Why hasn't the third class come back yet, what the hell are they doing, these bastards won't go to the nearby villages to loot again, right?"
Sun Weiguo was thinking about his own problem, but the second lieutenant of the third squad of the fourth squadron cursed, and he held the binoculars and looked around.
How would he know that the third squad sent out by him had all been annihilated, and the thirteen devil soldiers had become thirteen cold corpses.
But just as the squad leader was holding the binoculars and looking around, the second lieutenant squad leader looked at the grass not far away, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
"Spread out, move quickly, there is an ambush on the left side of the army!" The second lieutenant squad leader shouted softly.
Two infantry squads, one grenadier squad, had shocked expressions on their faces when they heard the second lieutenant's squad leader's words, but they quickly carried out their orders.
More than thirty devil soldiers began to disperse quickly, while the other two infantry squads began to get the news, and the fourth squadron quickly knew that there was an ambush on their flanks.
"Fire!" Sun Weiguo, who was hidden in the grass, was already sweating, the hot sun was shining on his body, and it seemed to be a steamer all around, when Sun Weiguo saw that the ghost soldiers began to disperse, he knew that his troops must have been exposed, and Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order to shoot.
Chinese troops rarely wore steel helmets, but Sun Weiguo's troops used the steel helmets of captured devil soldiers to transform them and distribute them to various units.
According to Sun Weiguo's order, the front-line combat troops are given priority to the distribution of steel helmets, but the steel helmets are worn on their heads, and they will shine when the sun shines.
The second lieutenant of the third squad saw the reflective steel helmet and found that there was an ambush on the flank, but Sun Weiguo reacted equally quickly, and he immediately gave the order to shoot.
AS SUN WEIGUO'S FIRING ORDER BEGAN TO BE ISSUED, THE FIRST COMPANY'S NINE LIGHT MACHINE GUNS, NINE GRENADIERS, TWO MAKQIN HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, AND TWO 60MM MORTARS IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO FIRE.
In an instant, bullets rained down on the devil soldiers, and more than 20 people were killed on the spot before they dispersed.
The Japanese immediately counterattacked with six crooked light machine guns, and nine grenadiers began to be erected for firing.
The Japanese counterattack fire was organized, and the fire of the first company was suppressed, but soon the units of the machine gun company began to fire.
"Launch!" Gao Kang shouted loudly, and the three Type 92 infantry guns fired quickly, and three high-explosive shells fired at the devil soldiers.
A high-explosive shell exploded near a crooked light machine gun, killing four Devil Soldiers on the spot, while more than a dozen Devil Soldier riflemen were also injured to varying degrees.
The three infantry guns continued to fire, and the three Maxim heavy machine guns even started to strafe, and the bullets continued to shoot at the devil soldiers.
The Japanese firepower was completely suppressed, and an infantry squadron, more than 170 devil soldiers, now only about 90 people remained.
The captain squadron leader was lying on the ground, he held the binoculars and looked to the flank, his face became unusually pale, he did not expect such a strong firepower from the other side.
WITH A "BOOM", THE 60MM MORTAR FIRED A SHELL, WHICH EXPLODED NEAR THE CAPTAIN SQUADRON LEADER OF THE JAPANESE ARMY, AND THE CAPTAIN SQUADRON LEADER FELT A PAIN IN HIS NECK, AND THEN HE LOST CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THE CAPTAIN SQUADRON LEADER WAS KILLED.
"Comrades, rush with me!" Sun Weiguo quickly began to jump out of the grass with his rifle in hand, and he shouted loudly.
Hundreds of soldiers followed Sun Weiguo with rifles and charged, they shouted, and quickly rushed towards the devil soldiers.
Infantry artillery stopped firing, heavy machine guns were changed from strafing to point fire, and light machine gun shooters immediately fired from both sides.
Light and heavy machine guns and snipers covered the infantry charge, and Sun Weiguo rushed to the front with a Type 38 rifle.
When the Devil Soldiers saw that the opponent began to charge, they immediately started shooting, but the light and heavy machine gun fire continued to burst fire, and one of the Devil Soldiers who wanted to shoot was killed on the spot.
The remaining fifty or so devil soldiers began to stab with rifles, and Sun Weiguo took the lead directly, and he stabbed directly at the front of the devil soldiers.
The cold bayonet quickly stabbed into the body of the devil soldier, and before the devil soldier could fight back, he had already been stabbed to death.
The soldiers followed behind Sun Weiguo, their morale was high, and everyone rushed towards the devil soldiers.
"Boom!" The sound of metal collision continued to sound, the fierce white-knuckle battle began, Sun Weiguo personally went into battle, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the first company was high, on the contrary, the number of Japanese troops was at a disadvantage, and seeing more and more devil soldiers being stabbed to death, their morale began to fall to the extreme.
Especially seeing that four or five devil soldiers could not solve Sun Weiguo, the devil soldiers began to be afraid in their hearts.
Sun Weiguo is wearing the rank of major general, which is a huge temptation for the devil soldiers, but they have no ability to kill Sun Weiguo.
