Soon, the chief of staff, who counted the losses, came over and reported: "Regiment commander, the whole regiment has a total of 324 killed, 88 seriously wounded and lost combat effectiveness, and many brothers who died in the battle were killed by the Japanese army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe Japanese army's marksmanship and artillery are powerful, and they can hit so accurately in the attack, which is much more powerful than the Russian army we encountered at the beginning. ”

Huang Zhongxin nodded in affirmation: "I also feel that if it weren't for the heavy artillery and mortars, as well as our new tactics, we would never have been able to fight all the way here yesterday." And the battle just now is the same, if it weren't for the mortars and the heavy artillery in the back, we would have been beaten off a layer of skin even if we were not completely wiped out by the Japanese army. ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Regiment commander, the casualties of four hundred people, even if they do not reach the point of shedding a layer of skin, are heavy losses. ”

"I just counted that except for the brothers who cooperated with the special combat team to operate the artillery, we can still move less than 800 people. Continuing to defend this line of defense is definitely undermanned, and there are holes in the defenses everywhere. ”

"I mean, while the Japanese army is being pushed back by us, immediately shrink the defensive line!"

Huang Zhongxin frowned and asked: "Shrinking the defensive line means that we have to resuspend our positions, will the Japanese army give us this time?" ”

The chief of staff replied with a rare smile on his solemn face: "It must be enough, in the battle just now, we killed nearly 3,000 Japanese soldiers, plus the Japanese troops killed by heavy artillery must have suffered heavy losses." What's more, thousands of Japanese troops in the three staging areas were scattered by us with heavy artillery, everywhere. Not to mention anything else, it would take at least half an hour for the Japanese army to gather these stragglers. ”

"This is still a situation where our heavy artillery does not intervene, and now that our mortars have been liberated, if we let the artillery keep an eye on the surroundings, where there are signs of Japanese army gathering, we will use artillery bombardment, and the Japanese army will not be able to assemble for two hours."

"If I were the commander of the Japanese army, the best option in this situation would be to retreat!"

Huang Zhongxin's already frowning brows wrinkled even deeper at this time, and as soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, he blurted out: "The Japanese army must not be allowed to retreat." The purpose of our assault all the way here is to kill and injure a large number of Japanese troops, and if the Japanese retreat, how can we kill and wound them, and how can we complete the task given to our regiment by the commander. ”

After thinking about it, Huang Zhongxin continued: "What you just said also reminded me that we fought too fiercely just now, and it is very likely that the Japanese will be scared at once and will not dare to attack us again. ”

"This ...... Commander, then what are we going to do? The chief of staff also reacted suddenly, and asked anxiously.

Huang Zhongxin replied without thinking: "There is only one way, to show weakness to the Japanese army!" ”

"Order the troops to retreat back immediately, shrink the defensive line, and retreat with great fanfare, so that the surrounding Japanese troops can see that we have suffered heavy losses and insufficient troops!"

"Also, from now on, no one can move the cannon without my order!"

The chief of staff, who was waiting for his subordinates to gather the stragglers, soon received the news.

Quickly climbed to a small high ground with a fairly wide field of vision, raised his binoculars and stared at the position of the three regiments motionless.

Soon, a smile appeared on the gloomy face of the chief of staff, and he ordered to the commander of the division next to him: "Order the two wing commanders on both flanks to quickly gather scattered troops and prepare to launch a new round of attack on the Liaodong Army!" ”

The division commander next to him did not receive the order, but asked with a worried face: "Chief of Staff, could this be a conspiracy of the Liaodong Army!" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Whether it is a conspiracy or not, the situation is very favorable to us now, and it is worth our try." I just calculated that the Liaodong Army carried at least 800 wounded and corpses to the back, and it took several times to carry the wounded and corpses to the back. ”

"How many people can a regiment of the Liaodong Army have, two thousand, or three thousand. Excluding the artillery, and then excluding the losses of the attack all the way, there can be 2,000 people trapped here, no, 1,500 people is already a lot. ”

"Judging from the firepower exposed by the Liaodong Army in the battle just now, the Liaodong Army that just participated in the battle has 1,500 people."

"Now that more than 800 people have been removed at once, I judge that the Liaodong Army in front of us has at most 700 people who have combat effectiveness."

The worry on the face of the division commander did not dissipate much because of these words.

But the chief of staff said that he saw it in his eyes, and there was no reason to refute it at all, so he could only give orders with concern.

Most of what the Japanese chief of staff saw was true, but in order to weaken the Japanese army, to make them believe that they had suffered heavy losses. Huang Zhongxin directly ordered the subordinates of the two companies to pretend to be wounded and retreat back carried by their comrades. In this way, Huang Zhongxin convinced the Japanese army of the fact that he had suffered more than 800 casualties, thus arousing the idea of the Japanese army continuing to attack.

Not to mention, it works.

Because there was no artillery harassment, in less than half an hour, the remaining 4,000 Japanese troops were assembled.

The chief of staff was confident that this attack would definitely wipe out the remaining hundreds of remnants of the Liaodong Army, and in addition to leaving a few hundred people to protect himself, the remaining more than 3,000 people were all sent out.

As in the attack just now, because there was no artillery, the Japanese army used dozens of heavy machine guns to suppress the fire as soon as they came up.

This time the Japanese were much smarter, and in order to make the heavy machine guns last longer under mortar shelling, the Japanese prepared a spare machine gun position for each heavy machine gun.

Moreover, all the heavy machine guns were dispersed to avoid being hit by artillery fire in battle.

Huang Zhongxin's brows furrowed and he said to himself: "This time the Japanese army is much smarter, it seems that we are going to fight a tough battle again!" ”

"Their heavy machine guns are so scattered, it will definitely take longer than just now to destroy all the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army! Maybe the Japanese army will use this extra time to rush in front of us! The chief of staff replied in a heavy tone.

Huang Zhongxin replied with a murderous face: "Then we will greet with grenades!" Inform the battalion and company commanders that everyone should be prepared for heavy casualties in this attack. As soon as the Japanese are in range, all weapons are fired! ”

"In addition, the troops who cooperated with the special operations squadron to manipulate the heavy artillery fell back, the Japanese army is attacking us with all their strength this time, there are not many Japanese troops left, and there is no point in firing heavy artillery!"

As soon as the Japanese attacking troops crossed the heavy machine gun fire point, the only nine heavy machine guns of the 3rd Regiment opened fire.

At this time, four or five of the dozens of Japanese heavy machine guns had been blown up under mortar attack, but the remaining heavy machine guns could still suppress three regiments and one heavy machine gun with four heavy machine guns.

So, as soon as the heavy machine guns of the three regiments were fired, a very dense array of bullets could be summoned immediately.

As soon as many heavy machine gunners grasped the handle of the machine gun, and before they could finish half of the bullet chain, the heavy machine gun bullets fired by the Japanese army turned him into a hornet's nest.

But even so, the Heavy still pounced on the machine gun position without dying.

They all knew that once this counterattack was not successfully fought, the troops would have to engage in close combat with the Japanese army, which had superior forces. If you don't do well, the entire three regiments will have to be explained here.

As the only heavy firepower of the three regiments that could block the pace of the Japanese attack, if they could not play a big role on the battlefield, a close battle would not be avoided.

Heavy machine gun bullets were absolutely fatal for ordinary infantrymen, and heavy machine gun bullets with half a bullet chain flew towards the Japanese attacking troops, and at once they could sweep down a large area of Japanese troops.

So, these heavy machine gunners, each of whom died in battle, could kill at least ten Japanese soldiers.
