At dusk, an artillery regiment arrived at the front. The assault on the Wolf Forest began in earnest at 6 p.m., and after 20 minutes of shelling, the order was given for the attack. The Japanese army formed a defensive front of about 10 kilometers with the town of Wolf Forest as the center, and about 15,000 Japanese troops defended here. After the battle began, the 1st Division threw two brigades into a strong attack, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The Japanese defense headquarters of Daxing Changjin Lake was busy, and Hatoyama Ichiro commanded 30,000 Japanese troops, not only to defend the Wolf Forest defense line, but also to defend the Wolf Exhaustion Mountain defense line, so his defensive strength was a little stretched. There were 50,000 Japanese troops in Hamxing, and because Hepingli was occupied by the Chinese army, the 50,000 Japanese troops in Hamxing could not draw a single soldier. Tokugawa and Sukegawa each had 5,000 Japanese troops, but the defenders there could not be easily drawn. Moreover, the transfer of troops would have to pass through the Japanese headquarters in Seoul.

"When will reinforcements from Seoul arrive?" Hatoyama Ichiro asked with a tiger face. "Your Excellency General, the Seoul Headquarters is here, and 20,000 reinforcements will arrive in three days." The chief of staff replied. Hatoyama Ichiro said with a stern face: "Order the defenders of the wolf forest to hold their positions and not take a step back." The chief of staff worried: "Your Excellency, the fortifications we have built are very rudimentary, and it is difficult to withstand the onslaught of the Chinese army. "May Amaterasu bless us," Hatoyama Ichiro is calm on the surface, but the six gods are not in his heart.

The Chinese army actually drove straight into the area and suddenly launched an attack on the Changjin Lake area, which was not expected by the Japanese headquarters. The Japanese army was heavily armed on the front line, and the rear forces were empty. The reinforcements will arrive in three days, and what kind of outcome will happen after three days, Hatoyama Ichiro can only suffer. You may want to ask. What did Han Ruowei, the commander-in-chief of the Kung Fu Alliance, do?

After the Chinese army broke through Huishan, Han Ruowei personally intervened to help readjust the defensive front, and at this time news came from Tokyo. The vanguard of the Americas, led by the United States, arrived in Japan, and Han Ruowei had no choice but to return to Tokyo after a depressed expedition. Although he is not optimistic about the war situation on the Korean Peninsula, the defense of the Korean Peninsula is the overall defense task of the coalition forces, and this point cannot be sloppy. But Han Ruowei didn't expect that the war situation on the peninsula would change so quickly.

At 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, the Wolf Forest defense line was torn open several times, but the Japanese defending troops still relied on the favorable terrain to defend stubbornly. Resist. The 1st Regiment broke through the Japanese lines, but the attack was still thwarted. Commander Hatoyama, faced with a crisis at the front, gave the order to die. Defend the line at any cost.

At the forward command post, the regiment commander Zhang Dashan looked at the map, and the regimental chief of staff said: "The Japanese resistance is very tenacious, and the 1st Battalion is blocked at Point 55. The 2 battalion was blocked at point No. 61. The 3rd Battalion was hampered at Point 35 and is currently making slow progress. The brigade commander informed that a similar situation was encountered in other regiments. We are asked to advance in depth as soon as possible. "Grandma is a bear, I don't believe that the Japanese army has three heads and six arms, and orders the battalions to increase their attacks, and I will hear the news of the breakthrough in an hour." Zhang Dashan clenched his fists and slammed them on the map.

The flames of the explosion reflected Zhuang Lei's face, and he was covered in dust. The wind buckle is open, and the cuff is pulled up to the elbow joint. His revolver was placed in a holster. One hand carries a rifle. Two rounds of charges have been launched, both of which have been repulsed, this attack, Zhuang Lei asked the machine gun platoon to increase the fire cover, and the mortars bombarded at fixed points, but they were still suppressed by the dense fire and could not move in the middle of the mountain.

The Japanese firepower was terrifying, and there were two heavy machine guns in the front to form a crossfire, and they were firing wildly. Guan Biao crawled over and said, "Company commander, what should I do if the Japanese army's firepower is too fierce?" Zhuang Lei Neixin was very anxious, but there was no way at this time. At this moment, suddenly, the explosion of grenades was heard in the trenches of the Japanese army, and the machine guns of the Japanese soldiers were suddenly dumb. "Brothers, rush!" Zhuang Lei got up and shouted loudly, and the soldiers jumped up one after another, shouting and rushing forward.

At this critical moment, grenades appeared in the trenches of the Japanese army, and there was a natural reason for this. After the battle began, the tower and 5 fighters were in the enemy line. They were immediately excited when they heard the sound of artillery, knowing that the assault battle had begun. After a brief discussion, everyone immediately moved towards the battle area under the command of the tower. Maybe it's the ghosts who make the gods, and their location happens to be the direction of the company's attack. Seeing that the troops broke through the Japanese defense line, everyone couldn't be happier.

But a few hours later, the gunfire became more and more intense, and there was no comrades rushing over. "Squad leader, the attacking troops in front are blocked, you heard that this heavy machine gun is hitting very violently, but is it the movement of our machine guns." Flower Face said urgently. "The frontal charge must be suppressed, and we must him and take out the Japanese heavy machine gun positions. You take two people to deal with the machine gun on the left, and I take two people to deal with the machine gun on the right and start moving. ”

The two groups touched from behind, and the Japanese troops were desperately defending in the trenches, and they didn't expect that there would be people coming from behind. It was the dark night that covered them, and they were able to touch the Japanese positions very smoothly, take out the Japanese heavy machine guns, and at the same time strongly support the assault troops.

Company commander Zhuang Lei jumped into the trench, met a Japanese soldier with a gun and rushed forward, Zhuang Lei solved the Japanese soldier with a stab, and then looked for the enemy along the trench. After turning a corner, I saw two Japanese soldiers cornering a soldier into a corner, and the situation was very critical.

Zhuang Lei took out a short gun and killed two Japanese soldiers, "Company commander, it's me, I'm a flower face!" Flower Face shouted in the darkness. It's a flower face, it turns out that the machine gun position was blown up by you, what about your squad leader? Zhuang Lei was excited. The squad leader against the machine-gun position on the right! Zhuang Lei didn't care to say much, and quickly ran sideways. At this time, Tie Ta was making peace with Guan Biao, and when he saw the company commander running over, Tie Ta raised his hand and saluted: "Report to the company commander, the third squad leader Tie Ta led 5 soldiers back to the team!" ”

"Good iron tower, you guys did a good job!" Zhuang Lei stepped forward and hugged the tower. At this time, the battalion headquarters correspondent ran over and said loudly: "The defending Japanese army has retreated, and the battalion commander ordered the pursuit to advance!" Tie Ta said: "Company commander, there is a village three kilometers away from here, which seems to be the front command of the Japanese army. "Are you sure?" "Sure!" "The tower leads the way, and we rush to the Japanese headquarters." Zhuang Lei decisively gave the order.

The iron tower led the way in front, and the soldiers walked on the mountain road, and from time to time someone fell, and the comrades next to him stretched out their hands to pull up. The Japanese headquarters seen by the tower was a brigade headquarters on the right side of the Japanese front. At present, although the Japanese defense line has been broken, the Japanese army has received an order to hold on to the next point, and even if it retreats, it will withdraw to the next point to continue to block, so the overall offensive is still slow.

The whole company arrived at the northwest corner of the village, and the tower said: "We will bypass here during the day, this village is called Xiaevenli, and there is about a squadron of Japanese soldiers on guard."

A few words here are long-winded, because of the strong armament of the Chinese army, the speed of stimulating the upgrading of weapons in Western countries is amazing. Taking the Japanese army as an example, the equipment, performance, and reliability of its weapons and firepower have jumped more than one level compared with the weapons installed by the Japanese army in Chinese mainland.

It can be said that war is the catalyst for disruptive change. The Western powers were counting on the Japanese to resist the Chinese army, so they naturally wanted to provide the most advanced and most intelligent weapons and equipment to the Japanese army. Since the Battle of Huishan began, the front-line generals, including the soldiers, have clearly felt that the combat capability of the Japanese army has been greatly improved. The performance of the Japanese army's individual weapons was close to that of the Wehrmacht, and in particular, the firepower was greatly enhanced. The phenomenon that the Japanese army could not resist when attacking like a mercury outfall at home, is no longer possible here. In particular, the complex terrain in the north of Korea is even more unfavorable for the attacking side.

"It's not good, the Japanese army is going to run!" Guan Biao shouted loudly in the dark. The heavy machine guns of this Kung Fu machine gun platoon have not yet been deployed, and the four mortars have just been erected. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Lei said urgently: "Mortar follow-up fire support, the soldiers of the whole company will attack with me." The soldiers jumped up and shouted to attack. At this time, the Japanese army was gathering in a chaotic formation, when suddenly there was a gunshot, and then a target of men and horses was found, and the Japanese brigade headquarters guard unit reacted quickly and immediately resisted.

The charge was blocked, and under the stubborn resistance of the Japanese guards, the commander of the Japanese brigade and the generals quickly retreated from the south exit of the village. They deserved to be unlucky, less than two kilometers out of the village, they ran into another company that attacked here, and as a result, the commander of the Japanese brigade, including a small team, was killed. In this area, the command structure of the Japanese army was eliminated, and the Japanese army suddenly fell into separate battles.

Under mortar bombardment, the resisting Japanese army could not continue, and Zhuang Lei commanded his soldiers to rush into the village and start a hand-to-hand battle. In a face-to-face fight, the Japanese faced well-trained Chinese soldiers, and their will to resist quickly collapsed. About an hour later, more than 30 Japanese officers and soldiers were surrounded on the threshing floor. Several thatched houses around the threshing floor were set on fire, and a raging fire was ignited, reflecting the snow on the threshing floor, and all the Japanese soldiers gathered in the center of the threshing floor, forming a group of stubborn resistance.

Seeing this, Zhuang Lei said: "Stop shooting and tell them to surrender." The platoon commander shouted in Japanese: "Don't put up fearless resistance, lay down your arms, surrender your guns and don't kill!" At this moment, a Japanese officer stepped out of the crowd of Japanese soldiers. I saw him holding a command knife in his hand, and Erie screamed strangely. "Platoon leader, what did he say?" Zhuang Lei asked. "This guy is going to duel in the way of a samurai, and if he loses, he surrenders. The company commander doesn't have to talk to him, and if he doesn't surrender, he will destroy them. ”

Zhuang Lei sneered and pulled out a bayonet and stuck it in the muzzle, Guan Biao said hurriedly: "Company commander, use a knife to kill Ji Yan, I'll go up." Several other platoon commanders also asked for help. Zhuang Lei said: "The other party is the squadron leader, your level is not enough, you must not let Little Japan despise us." Zhuang Lei walked up without hesitation with his rifle. (To be continued......)
