By the time the field artillery wing was ready to open fire, the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 138th Wing had already launched an attack on the position of the 2nd Regiment under the cover of small artillery and heavy machine guns. The Japanese attack can be described as crazy, there was no tentative attack, at the beginning of an infantry brigade was all pressed up, and the small artillery did not hesitate to be injured by mistake, and still kept bombarding the forward positions of the second regiment with artillery fire.

This unconventional attack of the Japanese army made the 2nd Regiment extremely uncomfortable, and the troops had not yet entered the position, and the Japanese infantry had already broken through to a position of only more than 100 meters in front of the position. When the observation post spotted the attacking Japanese troops and hurriedly sounded the alarm, the commander of the 2nd Regiment and the 1st Battalion guarding the first position hurriedly ordered the troops to enter the position under Japanese artillery fire. Fortunately, the soldiers were not fighting for the first time, and under the leadership of the company, platoon commander and other officers, they simply suppressed the Japanese army with the intensive firepower of grenades, bullets and automatic weapons.

Seeing that the Japanese army retreated into the darkness, the commander of the first battalion quietly wiped the cold sweat on his head, fortunately, these officers and soldiers under his command reacted in time and pushed back the Japanese attack, otherwise the Japanese army would have lost the position for the first time, and it was really shameless to go to see the regimental and brigade seats, if that was the case, he could only order a counterattack on the position, and even if he could recapture the position at that time, the casualties of his battalion would be difficult to say.

According to the habit of the past, as soon as the Japanese infantry retreated, they would be followed by artillery bombardment, and they would also order the troops to hide themselves, but today the Japanese army did not follow common sense at all, and the commander of the second battalion did not dare to order the troops to hide again, but only ordered the troops to lie down on the spot to avoid the Japanese artillery bombardment. Sure enough, the Japanese shells fell on the positions one after another. Fortunately, the Japanese army could only shoot blindly in the dark night, and the casualties of the troops were not small, but they could still hold on.

As soon as the Japanese infantry withdrew, the two squadron leaders who ordered the retreat were scolded by the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and one squadron leader was slapped twice. After scolding his subordinates, the captain gave a death order, attacking the defenders' positions at any cost, and shooting anyone who gave the order to retreat. Several squadron leaders nodded timidly. That's when the captain let them go.

Before the Japanese attacked again, the 48 field guns of the field artillery wing were also prepared, although they could not accurately aim at the target in the dark, but with the assistance of these 48 field guns, Takada Toshisada Dasa's heart was a little more fixed. Forty-eight field artillery pieces and dozens of small artillery pieces bombarded indiscriminately, and the shells rained down on the position of the Second Regiment, and it was the explosion of field artillery shells that woke Huang Guizhong up and made Huang Guizhong hurry over.

The accuracy of the Japanese bombardment was not high, but the number of shells was really a lot, and the commander of the first battalion was afraid that the Japanese army would attack again like the last time, so he did not let the officers and men of the first battalion withdraw from their positions to avoid the bombing, so the first battalion suffered more than half of the direct casualties in the bombing, and even the commander of the first battalion was hit in the thigh by the shrapnel flying indiscriminately, and was seriously injured and rushed back to the city by the medical soldiers risking his life.

When the Japanese artillery fire weakened, the commander of the first company immediately let the living soldiers take the position, these living soldiers were all disgraced, nearly half of them were still wounded, everyone resisted the bombardment that had not completely stopped, silently stood on the position and checked the weapons in their hands, and stared at the front in the darkness with hateful eyes.

Soon nearly 1,000 Japanese infantry attacked again, and this time the Japanese officer should have given a death order, and the Japanese army was still more than 100 meters away from the front of the position, and the officer led the team to charge the defender's position. In the darkness, when the Japanese troops rushed to about 100 meters in front of the position, the defenders faintly saw the figure of the Japanese soldiers, and the company commander shouted: "Fight, hit hard!" Suddenly all the light and heavy weapons on the position opened fire at the same time.

Although the first battalion was heavily damaged in the bombing, the density of firepower was not weakened much, because the eight heavy machines equipped with the heavy firepower company on which the first battalion relied were all arranged in relatively strong fortifications, and the Japanese artillery fire was very intensive, but the power of field artillery was also average, and there was almost no loss of heavy machine gun fire points in strong fortifications. As long as the spear was not damaged, someone would use it, so it was still difficult for the Japanese infantry to rush up with the density of fire on the position.

Seeing that the intensity of firepower on the defender's position was still terrifying, the captain of the large group who was watching the battle in the back and Takada Toshisada Osa felt powerless. Takada Toshisada said in disbelief: "Yaga! Are the people of China made of iron? Why hasn't such a dense artillery fire weakened their firepower?" His angry question no one could answer, and several captains around him all lowered their heads, and no one dared to be a bird.

When Takada Toshisada's anger was about to be sent out again, a voice came from the gate of the fortification: "Report!" Takada Toshisada Osa let people in with an unkind face, and a signal soldier trotted in and said to Takada Toshisada Osa Osa in a trot: "Report to Your Excellency Wing Commander, the division commander is in an emergency." Takada Toshisada took the telegram in three lines and made two lines After reading the telegram, a solemn expression suddenly appeared on his face.

He waved his hand to let the signal corps leave, and then said to several captains: "Your Excellency the division commander has called, the pursuers of the Zhina people have caught up, and the division commander is organizing troops to block the pursuing soldiers of the Zhina, and the life and death of the division depends on whether our wing can quickly capture this tugboat port town and open the way to join the rescue division." I ordered the four brigades to attack in turn, and to capture the position in front of me as soon as possible, and then attack the town. ”

Several brigade commanders also understood that the most elite of the division was their own wing, and it was impossible for the troops organized by the division commander to block the attack of the elite Chinese army for a long time, so it was time to fight hard. Several captains stood up and saluted at the same time: "Hey! Let's immediately organize troops and launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese people!"

Takada Toshisada Dasa's face was a little better, but he still bowed with a serious face and said: "The life and death of the division depends on you, please!" After several team leaders returned to their respective units, they immediately asked the troops to assemble, and at this time, the dawn also appeared in the sky. The Japanese 1st Infantry Brigade suffered huge losses under the heavy fire of the defenders, but it still fought to the death, and the soldiers still roared and charged forward under the command of the officers.

The distance of 100 meters is too short, and no matter how dense the bullets are, it is not easy to completely block the collective charge of more than 1,000 people in one or twenty seconds. When the Japanese troops rushed to only 30 to 40 meters from the front of the position, the officers and men of the first battalion threw grenades and bullets one after another, and the smoke of the explosion covered the front of the position. In a scream, the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front fell one after another, but the Japanese soldiers behind were still charging forward with the corpses of the fallen Japanese soldiers in front.

At such a close distance, the Japanese army's counterattack was also very lethal, and less than one-third of the soldiers in the first battalion still had combat effectiveness, and the commander of the first company looked at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but scold: "These little Japan's dogs, this is going to fight for their lives! Fight hard, who is afraid of whom?" After scolding, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, all of you put on bayonets! Fight with little Japan! Kill!"

After yelling, the company commander grabbed the rifle in the hands of the soldiers who died next to him and took the lead in rushing out. As soon as the company commander took the lead, all the active fighters on the position, including the lightly wounded, all rushed out after the company commander. In the twilight of dawn, Huang Guizhong looked at the group of soldiers under him, and rushed out of the position without hesitation, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and the guards around him also looked nervous.

Huang Guizhong whispered to himself: "You should go and support them! What is this Zheng Daxi doing? Why don't you send troops to reinforce them?" The guard heard Huang Guizhong's voice to himself, and replied: "Brigade seat, do you want to order the first regiment and the second battalion to attack and reinforce these brothers?" Huang Guizhong thought for a while and said: "Don't use the second battalion to attack first, let's see the situation." ”

In the temporary command post of the Second Regiment, Zheng Daxi was also walking back and forth with a serious face, and the second battalion commander beside him was staring at Zheng Daxi anxiously. The sound of the fighting of the two armies in front reached the command post, making Zheng Daxi's face even more ugly. The second battalion commander couldn't help but say: "Tuanzao, you just order our battalion to support the first battalion, otherwise the first battalion will be all over!"

Zheng Daxi said with a cold face: "The second battalion is guarding the second line of positions, and if you go up, if you can't stop the little Japan, won't the second line of positions be lost? Can't you see that this little Japan's attack is not the same as usual, and this is a desperate fight with us! Now as long as we hold back the little Japan, as soon as the pursuers arrive, it will be the future of the little Japan." The second battalion commander argued anxiously: "But, will the regiment watch the first battalion fight all the time?"

Zheng Daxi hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said: "Your second battalion will hold its position and stay still, prepare to block the Japanese army, pass on my order, transfer a company from the third battalion, and take the first battalion to withdraw together with the regimental guard company." The commander of the second battalion immediately stood up and saluted, "Yes, regimental seat! I'll go and deliver the order!" After saying that, he trotted out. The attacker was not big, and the three battalions and one company and the guard company quickly rushed to the battlefield where they were fighting.

By the time the two companies arrived on the battlefield, the fierce battle had reached its final moment, and the Japanese 1st Infantry Brigade had about 200 or 300 men left, and the 1st Battalion had less than 100 men left. The first battalion has obviously fallen behind, but the desperate courage is still supporting the officers and men of the first battalion to fight to the death, and from time to time a battalion of soldiers falls in the battle, and some soldiers have to pull the grenades and bullets on their bodies when they are dying, and they will die together with the Japanese troops surrounding them.

As soon as the fresh troops of the two companies arrived, especially the guard company, the most elite company of the whole regiment, the form of the battlefield immediately changed. The guard company was equipped with all automatic weapons, and dozens of assault, guns, and shell guns opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese troops who had the upper hand immediately fell in pieces, and the rest of the Japanese troops retreated in panic. The order was to receive the withdrawal of the first battalion, and the officers and men of the two companies did not care about chasing and killing the Japanese troops, covering the remaining officers and men of the first battalion to quickly retreat.
