The 7th Regiment was equipped with more than 50 light and heavy machine guns, although it was not the opponent of the Japanese army's nearly 100 heavy machine guns. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But do not forget that the reinforcements also brought the only mountain artillery company of the 7th Regiment.

As soon as the new group of Japanese attacking troops rushed to 50 meters in front of the formation, nearly 100 heavy machine guns providing fire cover stopped as promised.

Two squadrons of nearly 400 Japanese troops also fell into a state of madness at this moment.

Holding a rifle, shouting familiar slogans, and a posture of not wanting to die, he screamed and launched a surprise attack on the blocking position.

The regiment commander, Kang Jie, ordered while loading the rifle bullet he had just gotten in his hand.

"Mountain artillery company, open fire immediately, give me the heavy machine gun position of the Japanese......"

As soon as the words came out, the rifle in his hand had already been picked up by Kang Jie.

After simple aiming, quickly pull the trigger. Of course, the mouth did not forget to roar loudly.

"Give me a hard beating, eat the devil soldiers of these two squadrons......"

In an instant, the blocking position, which had been quiet just now, was shrouded in the dense gunfire like a burst of beans.

A dense stream of bullets flew towards the sun.

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese who rushed to the front lost as many as 100 men.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

As more and more Japanese were swept to the ground by bullets, the scream of a string of shells across the sky suddenly sounded over the battlefield.

Subsequently, an explosion occurred in the Japanese heavy machine gun position.

In the fireball that rose into the air from the six regiments, three heavy machine guns and seven or eight heavy machine gunners were immediately overturned.

"Baga, it's an artillery bombardment, the shelling of the Liaodong Army, immediately transfer ......" A Japanese squadron leader around the shell explosion point, in the face of the explosion that was close at hand, was directly frightened, and ordered with a face full of fear.

More than a dozen heavy machine guns mounted around the explosion point were immediately raised by the Japanese. I want to make a transfer.

However, they are fast, and the shells are faster.

Before they had taken a few steps, a new round of explosions sounded around them.

This time. The Japanese lost four heavy machine guns and a dozen heavy machine gunners at once.

The 7th Regiment, under the command of the regiment commander Kang Jie, used its absolute firepower superiority to slaughter the Japanese attacking troops and ravage the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.

The faces of Sakata and Matsumoto had turned pale.

"It's over, there must be reinforcements from the blocking force. Otherwise. Their firepower can't be so powerful all of a sudden, and they have artillery support......" Lieutenant General Sakata said with a look of despair.

Matsumoto said in a heavy tone: "It's impossible to continue to break through from here......"

"Sakata-kun, now we can only abandon all our baggage and quickly attack and advance in the northwest direction. There is also a passage in the northwest direction to bypass this hill and return to Liaoyang.

Sakata's desperate face immediately ignited a new glimmer of hope, and he subconsciously replied: "Then what are you crazy, Matsumoto-kun, quickly give an order, let the troops give up their baggage, and advance lightly to the northeast." ”

That's when it happened. A voice full of horror suddenly reached Matsumoto's ears.

"It's not good, division commander, something is wrong, something is wrong......" As soon as he finished speaking, Matsumoto saw a junior officer rushing towards him.

After rushing to the front, this young man had time to catch his breath before he reported: "Division commander, there are a large number of Jiangdong traps in our northeast, with at least one regiment in size, equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery......

"Nani. The northeast direction was also blocked by the Liaodong Army......" Matsumoto asked with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey......" Shaozo replied loudly.

"These Liaodong troops are building a defensive line on our northeastern defense line......"

The hope that had just ignited on Sakata's face was once again covered in despair.

"Baga, the Liaodong Army is planning to surround us here...... Matsumoto-kun. There is no way to go in the northeast direction, which direction should we break through next. If we don't leave, we're going to be stuck here......"

Lieutenant General Matsumoto, who was frowning, was also in chaos at this time.

At the urging of Sakata, he replied without thinking: "What about the northwest direction, although the gathering is a little farther away." But it is still possible to make a detour back to Liaoyang. We broke through from the northwest ......"

Today, God is destined to work against Matsumoto.

As soon as his order was issued, before it could be passed on, another subordinate rushed over.

Before Matsumoto could speak, the panting Nakasa reported, "Division Commander, something happened. A large number of Liaodong troops appeared in our northwest direction, with a total strength of more than 2,000 men, armed with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and some artillery ......"

"How could it be so fast, the northwest direction was also blocked by the Liaodong Army......" Matsumoto was stunned for a moment, and asked with a look of disbelief.

At this moment, one bad news after another reached Matsumoto's ears.

"Report to the division commander, the rearguard unit reports that the Liaodong Army, which is pursuing us, is less than a kilometer away from us. In five minutes at most, the pursuing force of the Liaodong Army will come into contact with our rearguard troops......"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander...... To the west, a regiment of the Liaodong Army has appeared in our west, which is attacking and advancing towards us......"

"Division commander, there is a regiment of Liaodong Army ...... in the east"

"The commander of the division, the reconnaissance unit reports that the artillery of at least two regiments of the Liaodong Army is moving towards us......"

Lieutenant General Matsumoto, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, was like an angry lion at this time, and scolded loudly: "Bage Yalu, shut up for me......"

More than a dozen junior officers, in the face of Matsumoto's anger, no matter how panicked and worried they were, they could only keep their mouths shut.

However, Lieutenant General Sakata, who was already full of despair next to him, did not have such scruples.

He shouted directly at Matsumoto, "Matsumoto-kun, didn't you say you could take us back...... Now that we're surrounded, you say, what are we going to do next? ”

Matsumoto, who had an ugly face, replied directly with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that the speed of the Liaodong Army would be so fast...... Until now, I haven't figured out where all these troops of the Liaodong Army surrounding us came from......"

"Isn't the main force of the Liaodong Army all guarding Fengcheng, and planning to consume us a lot through defensive battles?"

"Why is it here, is it possible that the main force of the Liaodong Army is not in Fengcheng at all, and the Liaodong Army we attacked in Fengcheng is just a partial division of theirs!"

"If that's the case, then the performance of the Liaodong Army on the battlefield is really too surprising?"

"The combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army is not at all as weak as we imagined. Even if they have poor individual combat effectiveness, they make up for this shortcoming with their powerful firepower......"

Lieutenant General Matsumoto grimaced as he continued to analyze his misjudgment of the Liaodong Army along the way.

Lieutenant General Sakata, who was desperate, interrupted impatiently.

"Matsumoto-kun, you've been defeated, what's the use of talking about it now? We have been surrounded by the Liaodong Army, and now the most important thing we should think about is how to break through and return to Liaoyang......"

"If you don't make it back alive, even if you analyze the reasons for the defeat, it doesn't make any sense......" (To be continued. )
