Chapter 153: Encirclement and Annihilation (4)
At this time, the devil was less than 50 meters away from the position, but the fighters still did not shoot.
Seeing the opportunity, some devils have slowly straightened up and accelerated the speed of their attacks. The company commander kept staring at the devils who were getting closer and closer, until he could clearly see their faces, and then shouted loudly. "Hit".
Hearing the order, the fighters, as if electrocuted, immediately straightened up, took aim as fast as they could, pulled the trigger. A row of guns passed, and those proud devils fell dozens of corpses again, but in the face of a dense row of guns, the attacking devils saw the position of the middle [***] team close at hand, and did not stop, but continued to speed up the pace of their own charge in the face of bullets, and at the same time, the formation of the attack was more scattered.
"Grenades," shouted a long company. So one by one the grenades that had been delayed by the fighters were thrown. The explosion of the grenade and the wailing of the devil reached the position, but the commander of the first company did not give them a chance to breathe. "Comrades, rush" The commander of the first company was the first to rush out of the trenches.
Under the leadership of the company commander, the "killing" fighters jumped out of the trench and charged while loading the rifles in their hands with bayonets.
A distance of several tens of meters will take only a few seconds for a fast charging warrior. The "killing" fighters vented their anger on the bayonets in their hands, and plunged the bright bayonets into the devils who had not yet reflected, and suddenly, the front of the position was full of the sound of bayonets colliding, and the soldiers shouted to kill
The squadron leader of the devil dodged the soldiers' delayed grenades because of the cover of a soldier beside him, but then, his luck did not seem to be so good, at this time, the explosion of sporadic grenades continued to sound on the position, and the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, but the squadron on the opposite side had already rushed over with a rifle with a good bayonet, and did not give the imperial army any time to reflect.
Some soldiers were even reloading their rifles according to the infantry rituals when they were stabbed to the ground by a sudden bayonet. Seeing that there was less than a squad of soldiers on the position resisting several times the number of Chinese soldiers, and seeing the skillful bayonet technique of the Chinese soldiers, the leader of the devil squadron no longer had the courage to let his soldiers resist after cutting down a Chinese soldier.
"Quick, retreat, retreat." The devil squadron leader shouted loudly. In the face of the army that was slowly breaking away from the battle, the first company did not pursue, because the casualties of the soldiers were also very huge, and each soldier was very hard, and there was no longer enough energy to continue to pursue the devil.
"Quick, clean up the battlefield and withdraw to the position." The commander of a company shouted as he looked at the bloody battlefield. Warriors, after all, take obedience to orders as their duty. Although the red-eyed warriors who had already been killed still wanted to continue the pursuit, but, hearing the order, they still stopped their steps and began to clean up the battlefield and collect the wounded.
Sun Xingbang, the commander of the first regiment, had been standing on the position and observing every move of the first company, and when he saw the company carrying the wounded back to the position, Sun Xingbang immediately issued a combat order, "The first company retreats to the rear to rest, and the second company is up." Sun Xingbang, who gave the order, still left tears when he saw the company that had been completely crippled, and the strength of the entire company of nearly 130 people was now less than 90 people left, and several of them were completely carried off the position by their comrades.
Sun Xingbang looked at the company commander who clenched his fists and hurriedly walked over, "Company commander, don't be discouraged, the first company is good, worthy of the sharp knife company of our regiment, and after the end of this battle, the commander will add the strength of our regiment to let the first company be selected first, go down and let the soldiers have a good rest!" Sun Xingbang patted the shoulder of the company commander in front of him, and after listening to the words of the regiment commander, although he was an iron-clad man, he still left tears.
According to statistics, the fighters lost a total of 46 killed and 6 seriously wounded, including one heavy machine gun damaged and 3 mortars destroyed. It was equivalent to a campaign, which consumed a quarter of the combat strength of the entire battalion.
And, on the other hand, on the devil's side, there is no less than a mass of losses. A squadron that participated in the attack, and only 56 people came back in the end. Needless to say, the remaining 120 people. It must have all been shattered in the attack just now, this is not the most distressing thing for the captain, the most distressed thing for the captain is the heavy weapons of the brigade, there are only 9 heavy machine guns left in a squadron now, but fortunately the ammunition is still quite sufficient, and the mortar squadron is not so good, now there are only 9 mortars left, but there is not much ammunition left, at most to maintain an attack like just now.
"Baga," the captain scolded loudly as he looked at the squadron leader who had retreated from defeat, and at the same time, several slaps were also deleted. After venting the anger in his heart, the captain stopped. "Reorganize the rest of your squadron into a squad, and you will be a squad leader, I hope you won't lose the face of the Imperial Samurai next time." The captain said coldly.
"Hey, Your Excellency Captain, I will definitely live up to the trust of the Captain," the squadron leader replied with his head bowed, enduring the sharp pain on his face that was flushed from being beaten.
In this way, the attack on the side of the third brigade of the devils was temporarily stopped, and it seemed that both sides were recuperating and waiting for the next more violent attack.
Although the battle on the side of the first company was very fierce, the battle on the side of the fourth company was very dull, and the devil's logistics baggage team had withdrawn a lot of troops to replenish the main wing that had suffered serious losses due to constant attacks, so there were only more than 600 people left.
When the captain learned that the connection between his brigade and the main force in front was cut off by the Zhina, he also thought about opening up the contact, so he sent a squad of troops to test the attack, but the squad was eaten up by nearly half of the troops before it could contact the opposite squadron. Seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the people in front of him, the captain of the baggage brigade no longer had the courage to send the only remaining troops in his hands to death, so he relied on the favorable terrain of Baicaoyan to prepare to wait for reinforcements.
As a result, the position of the regiment fell silent for a while, and the soldiers were all squatting in the trenches, quietly wiping the weapons in their hands, cleaning the wounds on their bodies, and gnawing on the dry food of wartime, waiting for a more brutal battle.
The battle of the second regiment in Changle Village was not so easy, the first brigade of the devil can be said to be the only brigade that did not suffer losses when it was attacked, and it was equipped with a mountain artillery squadron and a mortar squadron, and it was also the most powerful in terms of firepower. When the co-captain learned that Changle Village in front of him was also occupied by the Chinese people, he couldn't help but be furious, and said in a dignified way when the imperial army of this empire was pressed and beaten by the weak Chinese people.
So, under the order of Wing Commander Okamoto, the first brigade almost put out all its heavy equipment, and in the face of the mountain artillery shells continuously fired by the [***] team on the opposite side, the artillery squadron assumed the task of covering and suppressing the artillery fire, and fired at the artillery of the Reading Brigade, but the accompanying mountain artillery squadron concentrated all the mortars and bombarded the position outside Changle Village for ten minutes. Even the trenches that the soldiers had worked so hard to dig were damaged in many places.
Fortunately, the commander of the guard company at that time was alert, except for leaving a squad of soldiers on guard, the rest of the soldiers hid in the village to avoid the shelling of the devils, otherwise, with the strength of more than 200 people in two companies, in the fierce shelling just now, I don't know how many people can survive in the end.
"Quick, fix your position quickly, and get ready for battle right away." Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, the commander of the guard company immediately shouted at the soldiers who were still in a daze. The soldiers who were awakened immediately reacted, entered the position, and strengthened the trenches, and in less than half a minute, the formation of the devil's attack had appeared in the field of vision of the fighters. A squadron of devil soldiers, lined up in a skirmish line, under the cover of four heavy machine guns, slowly walked towards the position.
Looking at the four heavy machine guns that the devil kept spitting tongues of fire, and then looking at the four light machine guns that his company had been strengthened, the company commander shook his head, "Quick, hide, don't let the devil's machine gunner hit, and when the devil walks in, let's open fire, our guard company has a lot of pistols, and we will mix with the devil for a while, see what their heavy machine guns are for, and then shoot at my order." The company commander whispered an order to the soldiers in the trenches.
After receiving the order, the soldiers fell to their bodies, and some even squatted directly in the trenches, allowing the heavy machine gun bullets of the devils to fly above the trenches. Looking at the calm and calm soldiers, the company commander couldn't help but nod, he was worthy of being the elite of the whole regiment, no matter what situation he faced, he could always calm down.
Seeing that there was no return fire on the opposite position, the devil as the squadron leader of the attacking squadron slowly became more and more emboldened, and began to order the soldiers to straighten up and speed up the pace of the charge. At 100 meters, the company commander did not give the order to attack, but the devil's attack speed was getting faster and faster, and at 60 meters, the company commander still did not give the order, and the devil almost ran up.
Seeing that the devil had entered the attack range of the grenade, the company commander suddenly straightened up and shouted loudly "Hit" At the same time, a shell gun in his hand was also set up by the company commander to hit the combo method, a shell gun was like a light machine gun, swept into the formation of the devil's attack, at the same time, the four machine gunners did not care about setting up the light machine gun, one by one directly held the light machine gun in front of the chest, constantly hugging the fire, with the cheerful sound of the light machine gun sounded, the devils who had been 30 meters in front of the position were shot and fell, No matter how desperate they try, they just can't rush the rain of bullets in front of them.
The squadron leader looked at the falling Imperial soldiers in front of him, and finally stopped the soldiers from continuing to charge, and began to lie on the ground and shoot at the soldiers. However, the commander of the guard company did not give her any chance.
