"It's not good, we have rebelled and attacked in the assembly area, and our back road has been cut off!" This was the first thought of many people in the Japanese attacking force. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And it was because of this idea that many Japanese soldiers, who were still high in morale just now, directly became panicked.

If their back road is really cut off, even if they take the Liaodong Army position in front of them, they will not be able to leave here alive.

Since losing the battle is death, and winning the battle is also death, why not leave here before the back road is completely cut off?

Thinking of this, many Japanese soldiers became hesitant. Looking at the officers around him, he hoped that the officers would give the order to withdraw the troops.

For the more fanatical officers, they had a different idea in their minds.

Even if the back road is cut off, they will continue to fight.

No matter how many people were left in the army after the attack, for them there was only one purpose for launching this attack, to completely annihilate the Liaodong Army that had already been surrounded, even if the whole army was destroyed.

Therefore, as soon as he saw his subordinates hesitating, the speed of the attack slowed down.

The officers scattered among the attacking troops shouted: "Baga, what are you doing? Stand here and wait for death, attack immediately, destroy the Liaodong Army, and leave the Liaodong Army behind! ”

Although the officer's shouting took back the careful thinking of many of his subordinates, there were still many Japanese soldiers who wanted to live and were unwilling to continue fighting, and they did not have the enthusiasm just now.

In this way, the momentum of the Japanese army's next offensive was weakened by the influence of these people.

For the more than 1,000 soldiers of the 3rd Guard Regiment guarding their positions, the explosion from behind the Japanese troops was like a stimulant, which directly stimulated them to scream.

The battalion and company commanders scattered on the position also seized the opportunity to cheer loudly: "Brothers, the rear road of the Japanese army has been cut off by us, and the Japanese army in front of you has become a turtle in the urn, give me a hard beating, eat them!" ”

In an instant, the Third Guard Regiment unexpectedly burst out with the most powerful combat effectiveness since the formation of the unit.

Rifleman, light and heavy machine gunner...... All of them fired bullets at the Japanese at their fastest rate of fire.

The mortars in the back also hit more accurately, and the shells seemed to have eyes, and they smashed very accurately at the Japanese heavy machine gun position and exploded.

It may seem like these are minor changes, but Huang Zhongxin is keenly aware that the balance of victory in this battle is tilting in his favor little by little.

As more and more heavy machine guns were destroyed, the heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese suppressed the 3rd Guards Regiment was already less than one-third of what it was at the beginning. In this way, the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the three regiments had no scruples, and under the manipulation of the machine gunners, they unscrupulously fired bullets at the Japanese troops, and the powerful firepower even showed signs of suppressing the Japanese troops.

Not only that, seeing that the Japanese heavy machine guns were running out, the special combat personnel who operated the mortars behind them divided half of the mortars in each direction to deal with the Japanese attacking troops.

In the face of dense Japanese attacking troops, the transferred mortars could easily smash into the middle of the Japanese army with almost no need to aim.

In addition, the Japanese army was desperately attacking forward, everyone bent down and ran forward, a shell smashed around them and exploded, they had no way to hide, they could only watch the fragments of the shells wantonly harvest their lives.

"Baga, why is the artillery fire of the Liaodong Army so powerful. I want artillery support to destroy the artillery of the Liaodong Army. "One of the captains of the attacking force shouted loudly when he saw his subordinates being blown down in pieces, and his eyes immediately turned red.

The captain's dissatisfied screams did not make the shells that smashed beside him one less shell, and the violent explosions and the screams of the soldiers continued to ring in his ears.

"Eight grid tooth road, the back road was intercepted, if we continue to fight like this, it will be slaughtered, and our little force will be killed before we can rush to the position of the Liaodong Army!" Seeing that there were fewer and fewer subordinates around him, many of the living soldiers had a frightened expression on their faces, and the captain continued to shout, his words full of helplessness and unwillingness.

In the end, the 3rd Guards Regiment successfully repelled the first round of Japanese attacks at the cost of two companies,

The three brigades that launched the attack at the smallest amount, except for a few dozen people, managed to escape back. The rest of the Japanese were all on the offensive path, and not only that, but the Japanese assembly areas that were under heavy artillery attack, although they began to move as soon as the shelling came.

But they are fast, and the power of heavy artillery shells also hits.

Thousands of Japanese troops fell in the shelling.

The chief of staff of the Japanese army, who was also bombed by heavy artillery and had to retreat, had a gloomy face at this moment.

The sudden heavy artillery attack forced more than a thousand guards around him to disperse and retreat.

After finally getting away from the shelling area, the strength of a brigade of the guard wing beside the chief of staff turned out to be less than a hundred people. The others were either blown up like themselves and turned into lost dogs, or they were too unlucky to be killed in the assembly area by heavy artillery.

"Bage Yalu, what kind of battle is this, we are the attacking side, and we were beaten to the ground by the Liaodong Army's artillery counterattack. Also, isn't the Liaodong Army only equipped with new artillery? Why was it all heavy artillery that shelled us just now, can anyone tell me why! The chief of staff of the army, who was holding back his anger, was like an angry lion, and scolded loudly.

The division commander next to him lowered his head and replied with a look of shame: "The heavy artillery must have been captured by the Liaodong Army!" ”

"The heavy artillery brigade has lost almost all its strength, and the artillery drawn from several artillery wings has not yet arrived. Dozens of heavy artillery pieces that were not destroyed remained in place. ”

"I didn't expect the Liaodong Army to attack so sharply and occupy the positions of the heavy artillery brigades at once. Dozens of heavy artillery pieces were also captured by the Liaodong Army because we retreated too hastily, and no one paid attention to them at all! ”

The chief of staff of the army who was frowning directly showed a desperate expression: "Baga, the Liaodong Army has a new type of artillery, and there are heavy artillery. We have nothing but a few thousand people, how can we fight this battle. Even if we fight all the thousands of people given to me by the army commander, we will not be able to destroy the Liaodong Army on the position! ”

Although he only attacked once, the huge disparity in strength and heavy losses already made the chief of staff feel a little retreating.

However, he was still hesitating, hesitating whether he would really retreat now, and forget the orders given to him by the commander before departure.

The Japanese army was uncomfortable, and Huang Zhongxin on the battlefield was also uncomfortable.

In the battle that ended just now, whether it was a Japanese light and heavy machine gunner or an ordinary Japanese rifleman, they were all veterans of the rest of the battle, and they were elite.

Therefore, the entire third regiment, brothers from two previous companies fell under the suppression of Japanese fire.

Although he won the war, Huang Zhongxin had a new understanding of the Japanese army's strong combat effectiveness.

If he hadn't relied on the superiority of artillery fire, the battle just now, the accurate marksmanship of the Japanese riflemen alone would have brought a devastating blow to the three regiments.

Looking at the brothers who fell on the battlefield, many of them were directly shot in the head by the Japanese riflemen, which was very tragic.
