After Xu 19 and Huang Baitao reached an agreement, they quickly deployed the counteroffensive, leaving not much time for the old devil Haneda to react, because the Fifth Brigade implemented the cover of battlefield reconnaissance in advance, the scouts of small Japan did not even have a chance to infiltrate behind the position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui for battlefield reconnaissance.

Therefore, the counterattack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the First Army in southern Anhui was undoubtedly extremely sudden for the Japanese army

Almost at the same time as receiving the report from the forward observation posts on the left and right wings, Haneda saw from the field of vision of the telescope two waves of troops from the low hills on the left and right wings, the tide of troops on the left flank was grass green, it should be the Central Army, and the tide of troops on the right flank was earthy yellow, which must be the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui

"How is it possible, how is this possible?" Haneda couldn't imagine at all that the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which had just been on the fence, shook hands with the First Army and made peace? And they also joined forces to launch an attack on the Japanese army, which is unreasonable, aren't they worried that the other side will suddenly withdraw from the battlefield with supplies?

"Your Excellency" Adjutant Inoue hurriedly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "The Yamamoto Brigade has returned the flag and asked the gendarmerie to attack immediately to cover the right flank front."

Yamamoto Shaosa, the captain of the 56th Brigade of the Little Japanese Independent Infantry, still has a little judgment, and in an instant, he has already judged that the 25th Army on the left flank is not to be feared, and the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the right flank front is a mortal threat, and only one infantry squadron cannot resist it, so he decisively asked Haneda for help.

At the moment, two squadrons were transferred from the gendarmerie to the right flank of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, and the only heavy machine gun squadron of the gendarmerie was also transferred to the front of the right flank of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade, and a second line of defense was urgently constructed behind the right flank of the 56th Independent Infantry Brigade.

At this juncture, Haneda knew that retreat was impossible, because the troops on both sides had been tightly entangled, and once the Japanese army contracted and retreated, the anti-Japanese salvation army and the 25th Army in southern Anhui on the opposite side would immediately crush it, and the Japanese army in Chizhou would inevitably collapse on the whole line without covering the troops.

Therefore, the only chance for the Japanese army was to quickly switch from offensive to defensive and hold the defensive line

As long as it lasts for about ten hours, the 57th Independent Infantry Brigade stationed in Jiujiang and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade reinforced from Hefei will be able to arrive, and at that time, the Japanese army will even be able to form a counter-encirclement against the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and Huang Baitao's Army in southern Anhui and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

If this is the case, the situation in southern Anhui will immediately change

And he, Haneda, is also very likely to be transferred from the last garrison to a third-rate mixed brigade or even a second-rate ad hoc division to serve as the wing commander of the infantry wing, if he performs well in the wing commander, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to major general and serve as the brigade commander of an independent mixed brigade.

Thinking of this, Haneda called his adjutant to him and ordered: "Inoue-san, tell Yamamoto that you must hold the defensive line no matter what, two hours, as long as you hold on for two hours, our reinforcements will arrive, and the outcome of this battle will completely change the Great Japanese Imperial Army, and it will be a complete victory, a great victory."

"Puff puff ......"

The machine gun of the small Japanese on the opposite side fired a long point head-on, and the scorching bullet hit the hard field stalk, and instantly pulled out a long belt of smoke and dust, splashing a large number of hot sand particles on Sun Laobao's face, scalding his teeth

Sun Laobao glanced at the veteran, and he was hit by at least six or seven bullets in the chest and abdomen, and he was no longer dead.

The machine guns of the little Japanese in front of them are still continuing to strafe, but after suppressing the charging momentum of the L company, they no longer continue to shoot long points, but change to two or three short points, obviously, the machine gunner of the little Japanese is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and it is very clear that every machine gun has a shooting limit, if the firing frequency is too high, it will cause the barrel to overheat, once the barrel is overheated, it is easy to jam, once the bullet is jammed, then he is finished.

The machine gunners of Little Japan were veterans and had a lot of experience, but it was not good news for L Company.

Once suppressed, the momentum of the attacker will subside, and once it has been suppressed for a long time, the momentum will be very likely to be exhausted, and at that time, the battle will fall into a stalemate that Sun Laobao does not want to see.

Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of this machine gun of Little Japan as soon as possible, and the situation must be opened as soon as possible

And if you want to get rid of this machine gun of Little Japan, on the premise that the artillery is not in place, there is only one way, that is, send the daredevils to blow it up if it doesn't work, then two, and if it doesn't work, then three times, until it is blown up

"Vanguard, vanguard" Sun Laobao turned his head and yelled, "Blow it up for Lao Tzu, blow it up for Lao Tzu, blow it up for Lao Tzu, blow it up"

As soon as the words fell, the three veterans swooped up from the position, each holding a bundle of grenades and rushing towards the machine gun position of the little Japanese in front, the machine gunners of the little Japanese instantly realized the danger, and the short burst fire again turned into a long burst fire without interruption, until a bullet bucket was all fired, and the three vanguard soldiers had all fallen in a pool of blood.

Soon, however, three more pacesetters jumped from their positions with cluster grenades.

The little Japanese machine gun got a new bucket and again began to spew fire violently.

After sacrificing four groups of pacesetters and falling a full twelve veterans, the crooked handle machine gun of Little Japan finally jammed, only to hear a click, and the crooked handle that was still violently spitting fire just now came to an abrupt halt, and the quality of Little Japan's firearms was still a little worse than that of European and American products, and the quality of the crooked handle was particularly poor.

"His grandmother's, rush, rush with Lao Tzu" Sun Laobao immediately jumped up from behind the field stalk, threw off the stride and rushed forward, while holding the box cannon flat, firing continuously at the front, the bullets fired by the box cannon fanned over, and continuously hit the small Japanese blocking position, knocking down two Japanese soldiers at once.

"Kill"

"Kill"

"Kill"

The remaining officers and men of Company L were already red-eyed, and one by one they roared like wild beasts, and rushed forward with bayonets in hand.

Seeing that firepower alone was no longer enough to stop the charge of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui on the opposite side, the second lieutenant officer on the small Japanese position turned his heart sideways, drew his saber with a bang, and then pointed diagonally forward, and dozens of Japanese soldiers who were originally lying on the ground or half-crouching with their guns raised their guns stood up one after another and began to put on their bayonets.

"Little Japan, my eighteenth generation ancestor of Japan" In the blink of an eye, Sun Laobao was the first to break into the Japanese front, only to see him roar, his body suddenly accelerated, and he slipped in front of a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier didn't even have time to raise the rifle in his hand, and he had already been stabbed in the neck.

Sun Laobao stabbed the Japanese soldier with a backhand.

A few meters away, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo suddenly looked at him, as a veteran of a hundred battles, he has seen too many Chinese soldiers who are good at assassination, these Chinese soldiers have a clear difference from ordinary Chinese soldiers, ordinary Chinese soldiers are holding bayonets when they are holding them, while these Chinese soldiers are holding bayonets backwards

The Japanese army Shaozuo didn't say a word, and pounced on Sun Laobao from the side.

(Dividing Line)

Huang Baitao put down the binoculars, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed.

After the battle began, the L18th Regiment of the First Army and the L Regiment of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army launched an attack on the flank of the Japanese army in Chizhou opposite from the left and right flanks at the same time

On the other hand, the L18th Regiment of the First Army only advanced less than 500 meters

What especially made Huang Baitao blush was that there was only one infantry squadron of Little Japan opposite the L18th Regiment, while there were three small Japanese squadrons opposite Li Zihan's L Regiment facing three times the Japanese army of the L18th Regiment, but the advance distance of the L Regiment was still twice that of the L18th Regiment, and the huge gap in strength between the two sides can be imagined.

Standing in the frontier observation post, Huang Baitao felt that his face was burning hotly, and at the same time, he was also a little secretly frightened, what does it mean to see is believing, and hearing is false? Huang Baitao has long heard that the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui is very combative, and today he has finally seen it with his own eyes.
