Chapter 2: The Arduous War of Resistance

Fei Xueshu rushed forward with the three battalions, and compared with the devils of a wing on the opposite side, they were really pitifully few. But no one was afraid, Fei Jieshu rushed to the front, and beside him, instructor Fu Qiang and guard Zhuang Shanyu followed closely. Fu Qiang held two short guns in both hands, staring at the front vigilantly, ready to pounce on the puzzle book at any time.

The sound of grenades bursting through the air rang out, and on the opposite side, the mortars of the little devils began to roar. The two sides were still more than 500 meters apart, and no one fired a shot at this distance. From this it can be seen that the troops on both sides of the battle at least had commanders who were familiar with basic tactics; The quality of the soldiers is also relatively high, and they are not so nervous that they will indiscriminately release their guns as soon as they see the enemy's figure.

There was no need to write a command to the letter, and the mortar platoon of the battalion also began to return fire. The sound of grenades bursting through the air became sharper, and from time to time someone fell in both ranks. No one in the three battalions stopped, except for the busy hygienists. Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters - Fei Xueshu silently calculated the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Disperse, find cover!" Free Fire! The soldier with good marksmanship immediately adjusted the burst to burst, and the black barrels of the guns protruded from behind the walls and behind the tree trunks. At 200 meters, a devil squatted down and began to aim and shoot. The snipers of the 3rd Battalion pulled the trigger as soon as possible.

In the sound of "ping-pong" gunfire, people in the team of the little devils charged fell down from time to time. On the side of the third battalion, there are also soldiers who are hit from time to time, but most of them are hit by helmets, causing temporary fainting, or baring their teeth and scolding: "Little devil of dog day!" ”

At 200 meters, except for the machine gun, Xiusan did not hear the sound of the coherent firing of Wei Qing's assault steps. His heart was relieved for the most part, and the ranks of the Cadet Corps were characterized by the coherence and intensity of firepower. He thought it was really as Jing Shuxuan said, and the troops who came to help this time really belonged to the 29th Army.

There are not many troops on the opposite side, only more than a thousand people, and they should be the outposts of reinforcements. His own wing had nearly 3,000 men. He decisively divided his troops, took the squadron as a unit, spread the attack surface, and pressed it at the same time. His idea was to entangle the enemy with a frontal onslaught, and then outflank the surplus forces from both sides to form a circle. He wants to surround and annihilate the Chinese army of more than 1,000 people.

As soon as Qin Xiangyu saw the little devil change formation, he immediately guessed his intentions, and couldn't help but be glad that he had arranged before-facing an enemy who was far outnumbered by himself, if they didn't use the fortifications to defend, they would not be able to withstand the enemy's onslaught at all. Huang Chengxin also saw this, he stuck out his tongue to the instructor of the first battalion beside him, Duo Xiaoming, and whispered: "It's still prescient to the regimental seat, and he arranged for us to build fortifications early." Then he turned around, not daring to face Qin Xiangyu anymore.

Duo Xiaoming had another question in mind. He said: "Fortunately, the people of Huangzhuang have withdrawn, otherwise how many people would have been injured by mistake in such a fierce battle?" ”

Qin Xiangyu was adjusting the order at this time, he asked the second battalion to immediately occupy the house on the left side behind the third battalion, and at the same time told Fei Jieshu through the walkie-talkie, telling him to retreat to the right if he couldn't hold on, and don't fight the enemy. Then he asked the telegraph operator to telegraph to Deng Zige, report the battle situation here, and make a suggestion that the brigade seat should consider whether to divide a regiment and wedge into Xiaocheng Village, which is about five miles away from Huangzhuang, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the flank of the devil from there.

On the first line of the engagement, the 3rd Battalion had already entered into a fierce battle with a squadron of the 19th Wing rushing to the front. When the gunshots of Wei Qing's assault step rang out, the first reaction of people to see Xiusan was stunned. He said, "No, it's a cadet army." Then, remembering the legends of the army about the Cadet Army, his face became solemn.

The Weiqing-style assault infantry and light machine guns are almost inferior to the firepower output of the Japanese army, which has always been the most feared by the Japanese army. This gun seems to fire in a similar way to a submachine gun, but its range and accuracy far exceed that of the latter. Xifengkou and Tiemen Pass, the Japanese army has seen the power of this rifle many times.

The little devil rushed very violently, and before anyone could see Xiusan adjust the battle order, the squadron that rushed to the front had already suffered a third of the casualties, and the rest were forced to lie on the ground, never daring to raise their heads again.

"Captain, the firepower of the Zhi people is very fierce, and they can't rush through!" At this time, a squadron that had already detoured to the left of Huangzhuang was also suppressed by the strong fire of the second battalion. Without any surprise, after they had killed and wounded more than 30 people, the officers and men unanimously agreed that one squadron would not be enough to charge at this intensity of fire. So, the squadron leader, who was afraid of being ineffective in supervising the battle, hurriedly went to the back to report the situation.

Seeing Xiusan's brows, he frowned, in fact, he didn't want this squadron leader to say more, he had already seen it. Forcibly charging under such ferocious firepower as the Wei Qing-style assault step, if there is not enough follow-up force, this cramming charge is no different from sending him to death. With great exception, he did not reprimand the squadron leader, but ordered all the mortars and grenadiers of the wing to be mobilized and used in a unified manner. He thought: In this case, planes should have been dispatched to bomb them. However, the aviation was frightened by the china people, so they could only rely on these mortars and grenadiers for covered shelling. Hopefully, it will open it up.

Seeing that Xiusan's move was very poisonous and spicy, Qin Xiangyu always paid attention to every move of the Japanese army, and after discovering this scene in the telescope, he decisively ordered the second battalion and the third battalion to move closer to the first battalion and collect the troops.

As soon as the 2nd and 3rd Battalions retreated into the trench hastily dug by the 3rd Battalion, the Japanese grenades put the place where they had just stayed into the fireworks. The continuous shelling lasted for about ten minutes, and perhaps sensing the movement of the second and third battalions, Hitomi Shuzo ordered the shelling to stop, ordered the infantry to charge, and at the same time pulled the two squadrons far away, and then cut diagonally into the trench area that the third battalion had just dug.

Witnessing the Japanese army's rather methodical attack, he was in a hurry, and he said to Qin Xiangyu: "Tuanzuo, this won't work, if the little devil pushes the mortar, we can only be beaten passively." In my opinion, let's take advantage of this opportunity! ”

Qin Xiangyu tightened his brows and asked the telegraph operator: "Where are the 10th regiments and the 12th regiment?" Is there any news from the brigade? ”

The telegraph operator shook his head.

Qin Xiangyu's eyes fell on the Japanese troops who were steadily surrounded by stragglers, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "All of them are here, take the squad as a unit, and charge in the northwest direction!" Keep your distance! ”

"Yes!" The three battalion commanders replied in unison, and the eyes of the three of them all revealed a spirit of seeing death as home, and then walked quickly to their own team.

This time, they are really going to carry out the glorious mission of the first attack!
