As soon as Sun Yuanjiang, the commander of the third battalion, arrived at Chengjiapo, he immediately called four company commanders and ordered the first company to quickly build the first line of positions under Chengjiapo, the second company to be arranged behind the first company, the machine gun company to be arranged behind the second company, and the third company to be kept for preparation.

There were more than 3,000 Japanese troops chasing after him, and the three battalions alone could not stop it for a few hours, but fortunately, the regiment commander's order only allowed him to stop the enemy for two hours at all costs.

With these two hours, the 68th Regiment could be ready to block the attack at Longguling.

The Japanese squadron chasing ahead saw that the New Fourth Army had actually stopped on the hillside in front of it, and as soon as it paused slightly, its first squad immediately launched a tentative attack on Chengjiapo.

At the same time, squadron leader Kameda immediately reported the situation to Captain Miki, who arrived later.

When Miki learned that the Chinese had stopped trying to stop him, he couldn't help but show a sly smile on his face, Jiang Cheng's detachment left Japan and set foot on Chinese soil, and had not yet fought with the Chinese army, but in their opinion, the Chinese army was vulnerable, as long as the Imperial Japanese Army charged, the Chinese would be beaten to pieces.

The first squad ran towards Chengjiapo according to the standard infantry drills, and Miki looked through the binoculars at the sturdy figures of his soldiers, with a smug smile on his face.

The Jiang Cheng detachment was a newly formed detachment, and in the Imperial Japanese Army, there was originally a Jiang Cheng detachment, but after the Jiang Cheng detachment was transferred back to China, it was expanded into a division and transferred to the Southern Army to fight.

The commander of the first company saw more than fifty devils running towards his position with guns in hand, and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the hastily dug trenches to prepare for battle.

Because of the urgency of time, the first company only dug a trench in a hurry, which was the communication trench leading to the second company, and now it can only be opened with the help of the soldiers of the second company.

The company commander stared at the devil who was getting closer and closer, until the devil ran within a hundred meters and continued to leap forward in a skirmish formation, then he raised his shell gun and said calmly: "Listen to my orders, take my gunfire as a signal." ”

When the squad platoon commander heard the company commander's order, he immediately whispered.

The commander of the first company stared at the devils who were getting closer and closer, and it was not until the devils ran fifty meters in front of his position, and the bullets kept flying towards his position, that he raised his pistol and fired a shot at a devil with a plaster flag on the head of the gun, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Fight!" ”

When the soldiers of the first company heard the shouts of the company commander, they immediately raised their guns and shot desperately at the rushing devils, and a rain of bullets flew out, and the seven or eight devils who ran in front immediately fell to the ground, and the devils behind immediately squatted down, and at the same time raised their guns and shot desperately at the positions of the first company.

At the same time, the devil's crooked machine guns and grenadiers also quickly fought, and countless bullets and shells flew towards the positions of the company in front, and the two sides fought inextricably.

The commander of the first company saw the devil's crooked machine gun and grenadier coming up, and the soldiers on the position were hit by bullets from time to time and fell, and immediately shouted at the grenadier hand arranged in the back: "Han Xiaochuan, quickly, kill the devil's grenadier for Lao Tzu." ”

Although the devil's crooked machine gun is also a serious threat, but comparatively speaking, the grenadier is a greater threat to the first company, this kind of squad-platoon level support fire, although the range is not long, the power is not great, but it is a mortal threat to the three light machine guns of the first company.

In just a few minutes, a series of crooked machine guns were fired under the blow of the devil's grenadier.

When Han Xiaochuan heard the words of the company commander, regardless of the gunpowder smoke on his face, he aimed at the three grenadiers arranged by the devil behind him, and commanded the soldiers to quickly load and fire, and several shells flew out, and they fell to the firing position of the devil's grenadier, and with a few explosions, the devil's grenadier was directly blown away.

After knocking out the devil's grenadier, Han Xiaochuan immediately instructed the soldiers to turn the muzzle of the gun and aim at the devil's crooked machine gun not far away.

As a standard Japanese squad, each squad was equipped with a crooked machine gun and a grenadier, but unfortunately less than ten minutes after the start of the battle, his grenadier was all knocked out, and then the crooked machine gun was also knocked away.

Seeing that his troops were pressed by the New Fourth Army and could not move, the soldiers fell one by one screaming, and the squad leader was anxious, but fortunately, at this time the squadron leader sent an order to retreat, and he immediately commanded the remaining twenty or so soldiers to withdraw from their positions in disgrace.

Finding that the Japanese troops were withdrawing, the commander of the first company did not let the soldiers chase them out, but urgently ordered the soldiers to rush to repair the fortifications.

After ten minutes, the devil's shells rained down on the forward position guarded by the company, and the commander of the first company saw that the devil was bombarding with infantry artillery, and immediately ordered the soldiers to hide in the trenches.

Although the time just now was short, the first company still dug a simple anti-artillery hole, and the soldiers quickly ran into the holes to hide, only a few soldiers in charge of vigilance, braving the rain of bullets lying on the trench.

The shelling of the devils lasted for five minutes, and then more than a hundred devils divided their troops into three directions and rushed towards Chengjiapo, while at the same time, the devils of the two squadrons pressed towards the flank of the position of the third battalion.

Sun Yuanjiang, the commander of the third battalion, immediately ordered the commander of the first company to immediately retreat to the left flank of the main position after repelling an attack by the devils, and the second company was responsible for the right flank.

Before the first company withdrew to the designated position, the battalion's guard platoon first held the left flank of the Chengjiapo position.

There was still more than an hour before the retreat time stipulated by Commander Wang, and Sun Yuanjiang naturally wanted to let the first company hold up in front for another half an hour, and then wait for the opportunity to retreat.

The commander of the first company saw that the artillery bombardment of the devils was over, and at the same time countless devils rushed to the two wings, and immediately shouted loudly from the position, directing the soldiers to prepare for battle.

The fighters who were hiding in the anti-artillery holes quickly ran to their respective positions, and at the same time, the grenadier group in the company had moved to the left rear of the position, ready for firing.

Less than five minutes after the end of the shelling, the Devil's infantry rushed to the forward position held by the first company, and the Devil's heavy machine guns, which were providing cover in the rear, began to sweep towards the hill as early as 300 meters away from the forward position.

The commander of the first company saw the bullets fired by the devil's heavy machine gun, which made the position dusty, and his heart was itching with hatred, but it was a pity that the position of his heavy machine gun position was too far away from his grenadier to reach it, and the two light machine guns in the company were not opponents.

In desperation, they had to let the soldiers hide in the trenches and let the devil's bullets fly overhead.

Under the cover of heavy machine guns, the devil infantry quickly rushed to a place less than eighty meters from the forward position, and under the command of the squadron leader Commander Kameda, with a beastly roar from their mouths, they rushed towards the position like a tide with their guns.

When the company commander saw that the devil had actually invested the strength of a squadron, he immediately shouted to hit me, raised his pistol and fired frequently at the devil who was getting closer and closer, and the soldier guarding the trench immediately turned over and lay on the trench and quickly fought towards the devil's attacking team.

All of a sudden, the guns rang out loudly on the position, and the company took advantage of the geographical advantage, and a few of the devils who rushed in front were hit by bullets and fell to the ground without saying a word. However, the devils are not good either, there are two devils, hiding behind a small rock, and they shoot at the fighters on the position in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, five fighters died under their guns.

The commander of the first company found that the marksmanship of these two devils was extremely accurate, and the position he chose was also very tricky, obviously he was a veteran who had been tested by war for a long time, so he immediately went back and shouted to Han Xiaochuan: "Xiaochuan, aim at those two positions for me, and kill those two little devils." ”

At this time, Han Xiaochuan also found that these two devils were a great threat to the soldiers, and when he heard the shout of the company commander, he immediately instructed the grenadier to turn the barrel and aim at the two positions respectively, and then in his angry shout, the shells flew out rapidly, blowing up the position where the two devils were located, and there was no figure in sight.

After firing three rapid shots at those two positions, Han Xiaochuan immediately moved with his fighters.

As soon as they ran a short distance, the devil's heavy machine gun rolled over like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and smashed the position just now into smoke.

At the same time, the devil's grenadier also chased Han Xiaochuan's figure and kept fighting wildly.

The commander of the first company saw that there were more than 50 devils who were killed, but the rest of the devils still fought to the death, and even forced 30 meters in front of the position, and immediately shouted a grenade.

When the fighters heard this, without thinking, they grabbed the grenade in front of them, pulled the lead, and threw them with all their might.

The devils who were running in front saw a black thing falling overhead, but they didn't dodge, they took out their grenades one after another, knocked them down, and threw them towards the hillside in front.

Sun Yuanjiang saw that the devil infantry had rushed to the strike range of the heavy machine guns arranged behind, and immediately ordered the heavy machine guns in the battalion to open fire one after another.

The six heavy machine guns suddenly let out a dull roar, and the bullets flew out at high speed with kinetic energy, heading straight for the devils who were attacking upwards, and the devils who rushed in front were suddenly hit by the heavy machine guns of the third battalion, and suddenly the bloody arrows in the chest shot wildly, and they fell down one by one screaming.

There were even two devils who were about to throw a grenade, their arms were shattered by the flying bullets, and the grenade fell in response, and then it exploded violently, blasting the four nearby devils directly into the sky.

The support of the heavy machine guns in the battalion hindered the momentum of the attacking devils, and the commander of the first company took advantage of this opportunity to immediately command the first company to retreat along the communication trench.

As soon as they withdrew to the main position and joined up with the second company, they saw that the left and right flanks were also inseparable.

Miki, the captain of the Japanese army, held a telescope and looked at the mountain in front of him that was shrouded in gunpowder, and when he found that his troops were about to rush up, he couldn't help but feel excited, but who knew that the sudden machine gun fire on the mountain completely shattered his dream.

Seeing that countless Imperial soldiers were hit by bullets and rolled down one by one, and the remaining soldiers could only lie on the ground, unable to advance any further.

Seeing that his attack was repulsed again, Miki had no choice but to order his troops to retreat. (To be continued.) )
