Section 178 Counterattack on Gao'an 74

While the 302nd Regiment was chatting casually on the command position, the Japanese army once again concentrated its forces to attack the position of the third company. This time, the Japanese army learned a lesson, did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and after losing the support of tanks, they also had no capital to advance quickly, and they could only honestly start a war of attrition, and began to constantly use several field guns to attack, and with light and heavy machine guns as the auxiliary fire suppression, while approaching the position of the third company, while taking the opportunity to consume the strength of the third company, for a time more than a dozen machine guns fired at each other, and the wide area in front of the position could not even survive a fly.

Although the Japanese army lost its tank troops, but the use of machine gun fire to constantly suppress the style of play gradually played a good effect, although the soldiers of the third company of the marksmanship were accurate, but the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns were too crazy, the dense flying bullets were like a big net to envelop them in it, one would be hit if they did not pay attention, and in a short period of time, several soldiers were killed. And you must know that when they fought with the Japanese army before, they only killed more than a dozen people, and this kind of battle loss rate is already high and scary.

Cheng Zhong shrank in the trench and listened to the whistling of bullets above his head and couldn't help frowning, in the face of such a hard-fought fight, he didn't have a good way for a while, he fought back against the devil's machine gun fire, his own casualties were too great, and what he cherished most was the lives of the brothers in the third company.

"Withdraw!" Cheng Chong thought for a moment and then suddenly shouted loudly.

Wu Mazi, who was not far away, immediately shouted when he heard this: "Lao Cheng, are you crazy, you can withdraw without the order of the madman, that kid is going crazy to kill." ”

Cheng Zhong said indifferently: "That's just killing me alone, if I don't withdraw, I don't know how many people will die here from the brothers of the third company, won't you count this account?" ”

Wu Mazi naturally knew that he was right, but he couldn't watch his brother go to death, so he immediately shouted: "Lao Cheng, don't withdraw first, I'll meet the little devils and make sure to suppress their machine guns." ”

Wu Mazi was originally a machine gunner, and he was a machine gun platoon commander, and he naturally had a good level in the use of machine guns, which is also a proud capital, and now when he heard Cheng Chong's words, he couldn't help but be anxious, and was ready to personally fight with the devil's machine gunner to see whose marksmanship was better.

"Boom" At this time, a shell exploded not far from them, and the mud and debris that rose to the sky fell overwhelmingly, almost burying them alive, especially the pungent smell after the explosion, which almost suffocated them.

Cheng shook the broken soil on his body, and spit out the mud crumbs in his mouth vigorously, the whole person seemed to be awakened by the explosion, although he was discouraged, he scolded very firmly: "Withdraw, immediately withdraw to Lao Tzu, if something happens, Lao Tzu bears it, and when Lao Tzu dies, you have the final say in Lian Shi!" Remove! ”

Wu Mazi sighed helplessly when he heard this, grabbed a few * beside him, and shouted while throwing them indiscriminately forward: "Retreat, retreat first." ”

Although the soldiers of the third company usually seem a little arrogant, but at the more critical time, the more they can calm down, the more they can obey orders and obey commands, which is just the opposite of other troops, so when the company commander's retreat sounded, they did not hesitate to pack up their guys and retreat along the traffic trench, walking very neatly, without any frustration and dissatisfaction because of the loss of the position.

As soon as the front foot of the third company was withdrawn, the assault troops of the Japanese army on the rear foot began to attack, and then they only saw a shell whistling down on the position, what field artillery, mortar, *artillery, *...... The Japanese army used all the means they could use, in order to try to solve the enemy army in front of them first and seize the position in front of them. It's just that they had no idea that the commander of the enemy army had already given the prescient order for the troops to retreat.

Li Wenguang came up with two guards, and when he saw Cheng Chong, his face changed and said, "Old Cheng, why did you retreat?" ”

Cheng Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the explosion had just been in a series and scolded: "Damn, the little devil is crazy, but he is fighting at me vigorously, and if he doesn't dodge this intensive attack, the casualties of the brothers are too great." ”

Although Li Wenguang is a company commander, he is also attached to a battalion, so he naturally knows the consequences of evacuating without authorization, but he doesn't dare to scold Cheng Chong, in terms of experience, qualifications, and ability, he can put on a shelf attached to the battalion in front of others, but he is not a fart in front of Cheng Chong, when he is a platoon commander, he is still a big soldier! After thinking for a while, Li Wenguang immediately said: "Don't retreat in a hurry, the regiment commander asked me to bring a company over for reinforcements, and let's fight a counterattack!" ”

Cheng Chong was overjoyed when he heard this: "A company of brothers is here? Seeing Li Wenguang nodding, he realized that this kid was not here to supervise the battle, but to support, which made him overjoyed and said: "Good, good!" It's good to come in a row, let's let the devils in first, and then rush them in a wave. ”

"Banya! Itachi! At this time, the Japanese troops who rushed to the front had already discovered the retreat of the third company, and they saw the corpses abandoned in the trenches first, as well as the tanks that had long been scrapped, and they could not help but be very proud that they were able to break through the enemy's defense line and enter the opponent's position, especially when they thought of the tragic situation of the attacking troops in the first place, not to mention the joy of energy.

While cheering, they beckoned their companions behind them to speed up, judging from the situation in front of them, the enemy army was retreating in a hurry, as long as they caught up, they could give the enemy a heavy blow, this was one of the few good opportunities to kill the enemy!

The Japanese army has been stationed in the city for a long time, and the troops stationed in the city are also very sufficient, and the entire city is operated impermeable, and the defensive position outside the town is not a separate defensive area, but is also connected by communication trenches, so that the entire peripheral defense line is connected with the town as a whole, which is also the reason why a company of reinforcements was not discovered by the Japanese army.

This terrain also provided an ambush for the counterattacks of the 1st and 3rd companies, and when the Japanese troops who rushed into the trenches cried out to pursue and kill the "defeated enemy", the officers and men of the national army were already in position waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Just as the Japanese army rushed through a corner, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the forefront immediately stopped their advance, and they all widened their eyes and opened their mouths one by one, obviously seeing something incredible. The enemy troops who were supposed to be pursued by them had no way to enter the ground and no way, but at this moment they were waiting for their arrival in a strict formation, and the dark muzzles and neat positions made them instantly close their mouths, and their faces were colorless with fright. Immediately, before they could react, a machine gun rang out, and the bullets fired from the muzzle were not weaker than when the Japanese blocked the space in front of the position, but because of the narrow terrain, they were more dense and sharp.

The Japanese soldiers, who had rushed in with excitement, immediately did not even have any chance to resist, and were shot into a hornet's nest, and their fallen bodies filled almost every corner of the trench.

"Kill it, kill the little devil for me." Cheng Chong saw that several Japanese soldiers in front of them were killed in a blink of an eye, and immediately roared excitedly, and his previous serious expression disappeared in front of the enemy's piled up corpses, which made him excited about the killing of Japanese soldiers.

"Kill the devil." The officers and men of the third company were boiling, when the company commander ordered the retreat before, although they strictly carried out the order and did not have any complaints in their mouths, but the loss of the position was still not very glorious for them, you know, the main officers of the 302nd regiment were all promoted step by step from them, how could they lose the face of the commanders? Especially after successfully defeating the Japanese tanks and the first wave of the attack, they were even more reluctant to give up their positions. However, military orders are like mountains, and the company commander's combat order is the only criterion for their actions on the battlefield, and the company commander tells them to withdraw, and they have to withdraw. But they didn't expect that after retreating here, they realized that the previous retreat was not a retreat at all but a penetrating enemy, which made their original dissatisfaction with the idea disappear without a trace.

Now, as soon as they heard the counterattack, they only felt that there was inexhaustible strength and inexhaustible strength in their bodies, and immediately everyone rushed to be the first, all of them bravely, and rushed forward all the way along the communication trench like a wolf and a tiger.

The Japanese soldiers who were chasing the "defeated enemy army" were hit head-on, and the Japanese soldiers in front were killed by machine gun fire, and the soldiers who followed up originally felt that something was wrong when they heard the gunshots in front of them, and when they suddenly saw the enemy troops rushing out from the front, they were immediately stunned there, and they didn't know what was going on for a while.

The soldiers of the third company raised their guns and fired, not giving the enemy time to react at all, seeing the enemy in front of them fall, and the enemy behind them in chaos, they did not stop or hesitate at all, they picked up their bayonets and rushed in, and the three companies of soldiers rushed out, like a flood breaking through the river embankment, instantly swept the first corner of the position.

It was only at this time that the Japanese army reacted to what had happened, the enemy was not a rout at all but lured the enemy deeper, but in this chaotic battlefield, in the face of their own powerful firepower, they did not think so much at all, only thinking that the enemy army in front of them was like they had encountered in the past, unable to resist their attack, who knew that in such a chaotic situation, the enemy could still lay such a trap.
