Chapter 536: Reluctantly retreating

Thousands of rifles were fired one after another, and the Japanese rushed to the front and fell to the ground before they could fight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, the Liaodong Army, which had finished shooting bullets, had no time to reload their rifles.

I could only hold up the bright bayonet and rush towards the Japanese army in the same way.

Without any accidents, the two troops collided violently. In this round of collision, because there was not much skill, the two sides lost each other, about a hundred people.

But when the two forces really fought together, the gap appeared.

The Japanese soldiers worked in groups of three, standing back to back, holding bayonets, like a hedgehog, constantly stabbing and stabbing to death the Liaodong troops around them who wanted to kill themselves.

Seeing that the troops had no choice but to be beaten passively against the Japanese triangular formation.

Scouts and company platoon commanders, who followed behind the infantry, decisively entered the battlefield.

A man rushed into the battlefield with a loaded pistol in his hand. As soon as they saw the Japanese soldiers in groups of three, these people raised their pistols and opened fire on them.

The gun was fired at a distance of less than 10 meters, and it was the most elite reconnaissance unit of the Liaodong Army who held the gun, and it is conceivable that it took it.

Before the shuttle bullets were finished, the three Japanese soldiers fell to the ground with stunned faces.

After killing these three Japanese soldiers, this scout did not care about loading bullets. Facing another Japanese triangular formation not far away, he slammed the trigger.

The remaining four bullets flew over and killed only two of the Japanese soldiers, but the remaining Japanese soldiers were not much better.

As soon as the other two people were shot and fell to the ground, a huge gap appeared in the triangle formation. Several Liaodong soldiers who surrounded him immediately stabbed him in the chest with rifles.

The fierce Japanese blocked the two bayonets from the front, but did not block the two bayonets behind them.

The bayonet that emitted a cold light stabbed directly into the back of the heart, killing him at once.

Before hundreds of scouts rushed into the battlefield, the triangular formations formed by the Japanese army had almost no opponents. The Liaodong Army that surrounded them had no other way than to be in a hurry.

As soon as the Scout joins the battlefield, the situation changes.

The triangular formations without opponents were eliminated one by one.

In less than a few minutes, the total strength of the Japanese army on the battlefield was sharply reduced to seven or eight hundred.

At this time, there were seven or eight Liaodong Army soldiers standing around each triangular formation of the Japanese army, holding rifles, staring at them with a vigilant face, and launching surprise attacks on the Japanese army from time to time.

As for the scouts and battalion and company officers who had finished firing, they quickly replaced their pistols with new magazines while the Japanese were surrounded.

Soon, the scouts, armed with pistols, fired again.

Seeing that people around him were constantly shot and fell to the ground, the remaining Japanese troops also launched a fierce attack.

In order to kill a few more Liaodong troops before they died, they decisively gave up the triangle formation and launched a counterattack against the surrounding Liaodong troops single-handedly with rifles.

The Japanese army was so desperate that the Liaodong Army that surrounded them was not vegetarian.

With a rifle in hand, not to be outdone, he crashed into the Japanese soldiers who had gone crazy.

As far as assassination is concerned, neither Liaodong Army is a Japanese opponent. Therefore, the moment the two sides came into contact, it was often the Japanese army that pierced the bayonet into the chest of the Liaodong Army.

But the Liaodong Army had an advantage in strength, and before the Japanese soldiers who easily killed a Liaodong Army could pull out their bayonets, four or five bayonets emitting cold light had already stabbed at him.

The well-trained Japanese decisively abandoned their rifles to take cover. He was also a good man, and he did dodge a lot of bayonets. However, there was still a bayonet pierced into his thigh.

The thigh was wounded, and no matter how capable the Japanese soldier was, he could only fall to the ground.

A round of assassination killed a few Liaodong soldiers who were not hit, and their hearts were ruthless, and they took advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was injured and temporarily lost the ability to resist, and stabbed him again.

This time, the Japanese were not so lucky, and three bayonets pierced his body together.

By exchanging lives for lives, the Second Division took only ten minutes to wipe out all the remaining Japanese troops on the battlefield.

The Japanese army attacked the position, and the chief of staff witnessed most of his infantry wing enter the position of the Liaodong Army and fight with the Liaodong Army.

In the opinion of the chief of staff, in close combat, most of his wing is enough to kill a division of the Liaodong Army. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, the chief of staff did not have any intention of sending additional reinforcements.

However, as hundreds of Liaodong troops armed with pistols joined the battle, the situation on the battlefield changed.

In less than a few minutes, more than half of the infantry wing was lost.

At this time, even fools knew that unless a miracle happened, the remaining seven or eight hundred Japanese troops on the battlefield would never be able to defeat a division of the Liaodong Army.

It took so many casualties to get into this situation, and the chief of staff, of course, did not want to get nothing.

Without thinking about it, he ordered Lieutenant General Murakami to send two more infantry brigades into the battlefield to join the battle.

However, God did not intend to help him.

The speed at which the Liaodong Army eliminated seven or eight hundred of its own subordinates was too fast, and the battle ended not long after the two brigades broke out of their positions.

The remaining Liaodong Army on the battlefield quickly rushed back to the position without even cleaning the battlefield, preparing to block the two brigades they had just sent out!

Not a single infantry wing is an opponent of the Liaodong Army, let alone two infantry brigades.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two armies had not yet exchanged fire, the chief of staff decisively gave the order to retreat, and then ordered the heavy artillery brigade to immediately open fire and launch a retaliatory artillery attack on the defenders' positions.

Actually, the second division was not comfortable at this time.

After the shelling began, the casualties of each regiment were also summed up in the hands of Zhou Qiangsheng.

"The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is really strong, and we have sent so many scouts to participate in the battle and have suffered such a big loss! More than 1,000 people were killed, more than 200 were seriously wounded, and 4,500 were wounded. Coupled with the losses of the first two blockades, that is, nearly 3,000 people, and almost forty percent of the combat strength of the whole division is gone! After reading the statistics, Zhou Qiangsheng said with a heartache.

The chief of staff was also heartbroken, but in order not to affect morale, he hurriedly comforted: "Division commander, brothers have died without regrets. In a few hours, more than 7,000 Japanese troops died at our hands, and a heavy artillery wing was destroyed against them. With such a result, the brothers who died in battle will definitely be blind! ”

"Also, the task given to us by the commander has been completed, should we wait for the end of the shelling to retreat!"

Zhou Qiangsheng replied helplessly: "The losses of the troops are too great, otherwise I would like to eat another wing of the Japanese army here!" “

"Order the regiments, retreat as soon as the shelling stops, and leave the division headquarters guard battalion for cover!" (To be continued.) )
