Section 153 Counterattack on Gao'an XLIX

Xiangfuguan has actually fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage since the first brigade was completely annihilated in Jinggangling, even if their number is far more than the 302nd regiment, but the annihilation of a brigade has dealt them too much, even if Tsuda Tatsumori tried to suppress his emotions and try to remain peaceful, but in fact, when he really made a decision, he was still involuntarily affected by this aspect, and became very conservative and cautious. It is precisely because of this that when he received that the third brigade was blocked in the area of Gulouling, he would think of sending troops to meet it, and as a result, the current situation was formed.

Harata Renli commanded the 2nd Brigade to storm the enemy position, and he learned the news of the death of the Wing Commander from the scouts who had withdrawn from all sides, and also knew that the Xiangfuguan had not yet been lost, which made him feel very energetic, and urged his men to attack desperately, hoping to recapture the Xiangfuguan in the hope of retaking the Xiangfuguan in such a two-sided attack. Their strong attack has had a good effect, after all, the supplementary battalion is a supplementary battalion, whether it is the ability of individual soldiers or the ability to coordinate with each other, it really cannot be compared with the other three infantry battalions, this difference is actually not under the control of the battalion commander Zhou, but is determined by the nature of their supplementary battalion.

After the end of each battle, the young men in their battalion will make up for the battle losses of the three battalions, while the recruited young men and the recruited stragglers will enter the supplementary battalion for some training and allocation, so that the mobility of personnel is too great, and it is difficult to ensure the effectiveness of technical and tactical training.

In normal times, there is no problem, but when you really encounter such a bloody battle with your life, the weakness of your combat power is infinitely magnified. During the onslaught of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, the positions of the supplementary battalion were broken through by the enemy several times, and the entire defense line was in danger. Fortunately, the stone took the guard platoon as a reserve, once the position was broken by the devil, he took Cheng Yong and others to rush up, although their number was not much, but the combat power was really amazing, the Japanese army who faced them often only hit a face and was killed on the spot, the rifle wielded in the stone hand was simply a nightmare for the Japanese army, several times rushed down, the momentum of the Japanese army was completely defeated.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the Japanese offensive was getting weaker and weaker, hitting the back, and even the enemy's position was difficult to surpass and break through, although Harata Renli was still thinking of various methods, however, watching the time pass little by little, listening to the gunfire in the distance becoming more and more sparse, he also became more and more desperate.

Just when he was about to collapse, news came from the direction of Gulouling that the two captains of Kada Isamu and Honda Sajiro had already commanded the troops to break through the enemy's defense line and were rushing towards the place where they were.

This news made Harata Renli overjoyed, and his heart was almost discouraged, and he did not hesitate to tell the news to his soldiers, which caused bursts of cheers from the Japanese army for a while.

The Japanese army's abnormal movement made the officers and men of the national army who were on nervous alert very worried, and they looked into the distance one by one in disbelief, but they could not see anything under the dark curtain, and they could only judge from the sound that something might have happened in favor of the devil.

"Commander, could it be that the devil's reinforcements have arrived?" Cheng Yong asked with some anxiety on the side.

Shi leaned against a bunker and shook his head: "Impossible, it's just dark, even if the devil's reinforcements arrive, it will be half an hour later, and it's not up to them to decide whether they can arrive or not!" ”

Cheng Yong thought about it when he heard this, he had been by the side of the stone for a long time, knowing that the regiment commander would not say big things when he came back, and when he said this at this time, there must be something he didn't understand, but when they were guards, the first thing was not to listen to what should not be heard, and not to say what should not be said, so Cheng Yong was very wise to close his mouth and not say more.

Immediately, they heard an exclamation from the battlefield: "Damn, the devil is coming up again, ready to kill the devil." ”

After passing the Gulou Ridge, the avenue leading to the Xiangfu Temple was a thoroughfare, and there was no more dangerous terrain on the road to resist, which reassured the Japanese army a lot. What made them even more fortunate was that after occupying Gulouling, the scouts on both sides finally got in touch with each other, and after learning that the Xiangfu Temple had not been completely lost, and the direct troops of the wing were still fighting on the southern position, both Kada Yong and Honda Sajiro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at this time, they forgot the previous embarrassment of wanting to draw a knife and cut themselves, and they couldn't wait to rush to the Xiangfu Temple immediately to avenge the blood hatred for His Excellency the Wing Captain.

After the two units got in touch, the third and fourth brigades forgot the fatigue of fighting hard for an afternoon, forgot that they had not rested for most of the day, and raced against time to rush to the Xiangfu to watch the battlefield, now they are not clear about the battle situation on the front line of Gao'an, I hope the 102nd brigade is still holding on, otherwise, the consequences will be too terrible.

After a pillar of incense, the Japanese soldiers who were hurrying suddenly slowed down their feet involuntarily, and a deep sense of uneasiness enveloped their hearts, making them a little suspicious. They looked at each other a little, surprised by the feeling of being so without warning, and although they couldn't say why for a while, the instinctive reaction of the heart was not wrong.

The night was as dark as ink, and the light faintly coming from the sky could not dispel the fear brought by the night. Finally, in this quiet situation, they felt something abnormal, which they had not felt when they had marched rapidly, but when they stopped, they faintly felt that the earth seemed to tremble a little.

"Enemy attack, enemy cavalry!" A frightened and inexplicable roar broke the silence here, and the rapid shouts made the fear in their hearts infinitely magnified.

Since the Battle of Songhu, the Japanese army has basically developed an unwritten rule that large-scale military operations are prohibited at night. Even if the Japanese army is confident in its own combat power, at night, when their vision is greatly affected and they are extremely unfamiliar with the terrain, they are vulnerable to attack even in a defensive position, let alone on the march. Unfortunately, the 3rd and 4th Brigades had to take such a risk because of the tense situation.

What they didn't expect was that in a rare adventure, they actually encountered a night attack by the enemy, which really made them not know what to say.

A tracer bullet "Zla" was stabbed into the night sky with a stinging sound, and the dazzling white light immediately illuminated the surroundings, making them seem to be back to the daytime, however, the situation that made each of them sink to the bottom, as far as the eye could see, under the cover of night, a group of cavalry was galloping towards them, and even they faintly saw the flickering cold light on the back of the horse. Although the blinding white light allowed them to spot the enemy, it also pointed out the target and direction for the enemy at the same time, completely exposing them to the enemy's gaze, which only made their panic even worse.

"Array, dense formation, everyone is on guard, machine gunners are immediately in position!" Honda Sajiro could no longer keep his composure, he shouted loudly, and hastily commanded the troops to line up, at this time there was only one thought left in his mind, that is, he must not let the enemy cavalry rush into their ranks.

Kada Yong brandished his sword and shouted: "Don't run, don't mess around, aim on the spot, kill the people of Guangzhi for me." ”

In other words, it is normal, maybe these Japanese soldiers can still keep calm and have the strength to fight. However, the army in front of them, after an afternoon of bloody fighting, had already exhausted its strength and vulnerability, especially before they even had time to eat a bite of dinner before rushing to a place more than ten miles away to participate in the battle, after running wildly for several miles in this extremely exhausting situation, in vain they saw the astonishing momentum of the enemy army rushing all over the world, where did they still have the courage and idea to fight, where did they still have the determination to desperately? In this situation where they couldn't even breathe, they were timid and scared, some pulled their legs and withdrew, some froze on the spot, and some simply squatted on the ground and accepted their fate directly.

Of course, there were also some Japanese soldiers with rich combat experience and very firm will, and under the shouts of the two captains, they fell to the ground one after another and picked up the weapons in their hands. But their numbers are so small that their weakness is unmistakable.

Fast, it was too fast, after a period of acceleration, the war horse rushed towards the Japanese army with a sprint-like attitude, and in such a short gap when the tracer bullet rose into the air and fell, the war horse had galloped through the long interval between the two sides, and rushed towards the Japanese army. At this time, Kada suddenly yelled: "Shoot"

His terrible shout was particularly harsh and sharp in this situation, and even the Japanese soldiers on the side heard his roar and shivered involuntarily.

The reaction time left for the Japanese army was too short, coupled with the consternation and confusion of most of the people in this situation, which caused the Japanese army to lose its last chance to live, a burst of gunfire rang out, plus two machine guns rang out alone, although several war horses that rushed to the front were shot immediately, but Jia Tian Yong only felt a bitterness in his mouth, and he couldn't shout anymore.
