Chapter 515: Asking for help
After the battle of the ambush patrol of the Liaodong Army began, the two closest patrols immediately reinforced the battlefield without saying a word. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The two brigades lurking around the station were not idle, and quickly rushed to the battlefield in the direction where the gunfire came.
Looking at the Japanese troops who were getting closer and closer, he saw the anxious eyes on the faces of his subordinates around him.
The regimental commander immediately made a decision: "Inform the brothers, organize a defense on the spot!" With me as the center, build temporary positions and see if the Japanese troops surrounding us have the teeth to eat us! ”
"First battalion commander, you immediately organize a few brothers to go out, go back to Liaoyang City to report the situation here to the division commander, ask the division commander to send troops to meet us, and you must send troops to block the follow-up reinforcements of the Japanese army."
After leaving a company to continue to encircle and suppress the encirclement, there were still dozens of remnants left, and the other Liaodong troops quickly broke away from contact with the Japanese army and contracted their defenses.
The heavy machine gun of the heavy machine gun, the digging of the position, the digging of the position, it is not lively.
The attacking Japanese army soon saw the purpose of the Liaodong Army's intention to hold on.
The co-captain who led the team frowned and ordered: "Baga! We can't let the Liaodong Army repair its position, otherwise even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the wing commander ordered with a murderous face: "Tell all squadrons, speed up, rush up immediately, and engage the Liaodong Army in short combat, and not let their light and heavy machine gun firepower be brought into play!" ”
Nearly 2,000 Japanese troops immediately became crazy.
The heavy machine gun was fired at the Liaodong Army as soon as it was on the ground, and the light machine gun was held in the arms of the Japanese army, and rushed forward while shooting at the Liaodong Army.
As for the Japanese riflemen, they were completely in a deadly posture, and under the cover of heavy machine-gun fire behind them and the light machine-gun fire in front of them, they held their rifles and rushed in the direction of the Liaodong Army with a sprint speed.
Xu Hai, the commander of the Second Regiment, who had been staring at the battlefield, frowned, and couldn't help complaining: "These Japanese soldiers are going to eat us in one bite!" Don't give us any time to catch your breath! ”
"The riflemen continue to repair their positions, and ask the ultimate grabber to shoot right away, using fire to slow them down. Also, let the brothers prepare more grenades, and as soon as the Japanese rush over, they will immediately greet them with grenades. ”
After all, the number of light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese army was more than twice that of the Liaodong Army, so not long after the Liaodong Army opened fire, the light and heavy machine gun firepower was suppressed by the Japanese army.
The remaining intermittent machine-gun fire, although inflicted many casualties on the charging Japanese troops, could not stop their attack.
"Regiment commander, the firepower of the Japanese army is too strong, we are not opponents at all! What's next! The battalion commander who had just returned to the regiment commander hurriedly asked.
Xu Hai didn't answer, but frowned and asked, "The herald sent it out!" ”
"Six heralds, three rushes out! They have war horses, and in two hours at most, the division commander of Liaoyang City can receive the news. “
Xu Hai thought about it and replied: "It takes two hours to go back, and it takes at least four hours for the division commander to send troops over." That means we're going to be here for at least six hours! “
"No matter, let's keep it first. Maybe the division commander's reinforcements haven't arrived yet, so we'll wipe out the surrounding Japanese troops with our own strength and go back by ourselves! ”
As soon as Xu Hai finished speaking, an exclamation sounded not far away: "Regiment commander, the Japanese army is about to rush up, and it is only less than 100 meters!" Xu Hai didn't think about it and ordered: "Rifleman, counterattack on the spot!" Prepare grenades, as long as the Japanese rush forty meters, greet them directly with grenades! Also, organize some people to collect all the grenades brought by the Japanese troops on the position. I don't know when this battle will end, and the more ammunition in my hand, the more confidence I will have to fight! “
After separating most of the light and heavy machine guns to suppress the machine gun fire of the Liaodong Army, there were only one or two dozen light and heavy machine guns used by the Japanese army to suppress the riflemen of the Liaodong Army, suppressing the riflemen here, and the riflemen on other positions immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack.
In addition, most of these riflemen were veterans of bloody battles, and the bullets fired within 100 meters were almost non-missile.
It sounded like the riflemen's counterattack was messy, but the casualties of the Japanese attacking forces were increasing dramatically.
With each further push, a large number of soldiers fell forever in the path of the attack.
But even so, the commander of the Japanese wing still did not give the order to retreat.
Because, the casualties of the troops are still within the bearable range. More importantly, there are still 50 or 60 meters left for their own troops to be from the positions of the Liaodong Army, and as long as they rush forward another twenty or thirty meters, the troops will be able to throw grenades at the Liaodong Army and kill and injure them in large numbers.
Let him retreat at this time, anyone will be unwilling!
Forty meters, the Liaodong Army and the Japanese Army threw grenades at each other almost at the same time.
After the grenade exploded, the smoke quickly enveloped them.
But even so, the battle still had no intention of stopping, and grenades emitting white smoke were still flying between the two sides, constantly exploding.
However, judging from the sound of explosions on the positions of both sides, the losses of the Japanese army were definitely greater than those of the Liaodong Army.
After all, the Liaodong Army has individual bunker protection, and the grenades falling from the sky are difficult to hurt the Liaodong Army hiding in the bunker unless they are directly smashed in the bunker.
But the attacking Japanese army was not so lucky.
They were on the offensive, not to mention bunkers, and they didn't even have a pit. A grenade exploded, and the Japanese soldiers within a radius of three or four meters were either directly killed or injured.
Therefore, after a few rounds of grenade explosions, there were only a handful of grenades thrown by the Japanese army, but there were still many grenades thrown by the Second Liaodong Army.
The Japanese wing commander was not blind, and he immediately saw that the situation of the war was developing in a direction that was unfavorable to him.
Although he was unwilling, he still ordered: "Yaga! We all underestimated these Liaodong Army. Order the troops to retreat immediately, surround these Liaodong troops first, and then attack after the artillery support sent by the division commander arrives! ”
As soon as the Japanese attacking troops retreated, the regiment commander Xu Hai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Because, in the battle just now, their own two battalions also suffered heavy losses.
Although the individual bunkers were dug, due to the limited time, the individual bunkers were only dug less than halfway.
Dense grenades that fell from the sky still caused a lot of damage to them.
The commander of the first battalion, who had just come down from the battlefield, said with a happy face: "Regiment commander, the Japanese army has retreated, I have roughly calculated, the loss of the first battalion is about one company." ”
"What about the remaining two companies?" Xu Hai asked with a frown.
"The morale is okay, but I'm too tired, and the ammunition is still sufficient, so there should be no problem in fighting three or four battles!" The commander of the first battalion hastened to answer.
After Xu Hai thought about it, a reluctant expression slowly appeared on his face, and he ordered with a serious face: "Let the brothers hold on a little longer, dig all the bunkers, and strive to dig some more anti-artillery holes." I am sure that the Japanese must be planning a greater conspiracy, and we must seize all the time we can to strengthen our positions! (To be continued.) )
