The four chariots were destroyed in an instant, and the fragments of the four flying flews also killed and injured many soldiers behind the chariots, and the Japanese soldiers were a little panicked. The commander of the first company took the opportunity to order the machine gun to open fire, and the bullets flew like a rain of bullets towards the Japanese troops, and under such a blow, the Japanese could only quickly retreat, leaving only four destroyed chariots and corpses on the road.

Toda Yoshinao Osa knew when he saw that the tank was destroyed that it was not good, and he had despised the Chinese army on the opposite side too much. However, without destroying or defeating the Chinese army on the opposite side, it would be impossible to rush over to rescue the Second Division. Toda Yoshinao Osa could only secretly pray that the Second Division would hold out a little longer, waiting for itself to defeat or destroy the Chinese army in front of him. At this time, Toda Yoshinao Osa paid attention to the Chinese army in front of him, and ordered the troops to spread out in an attack formation and engage the Chinese army on the opposite side head-on.

Under the orders of Toda Yoshinaoda, four Type 92 infantry guns of the artillery squadron and twelve mortars of the mortar squadron were erected. In addition, a squadron of rapid-fire guns supporting him was lined up with eight 37 mm rapid-fire guns in front of the position. Eight heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron also found a suitable position and set up. After all the heavy weapons were ready, an infantry brigade also began to line up and prepare for the attack.

Luján's guard battalion also inherited the tradition of the guard brigade, which has always been firepower first, and is even more adept at fighting defensive battles. There were 15 Type 67 heavy machine guns in the guard battalion, and as many as 45 Type 56 light machine guns. In addition, there are four 120-caliber heavy mortars, four 100-caliber heavy mortars, eight 82-caliber mortars, and twelve 60-caliber light mortars.

In addition, half of the soldiers in their hands were charging and sharpening guns, and the firepower of the guard battalion far exceeded that of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, and even against an infantry wing, it was not left behind. This is also one of the reasons why Wei Erxi dared to send the guard battalion out. Standing in a sandbag fortification, Luhan observed the Japanese troops on the opposite side with a telescope, and was relieved to see that there were no large artillery pieces in the Japanese ranks, only some small cannons.

The guard battalion was too short of time to build better fortifications, and if there was a large number of artillery in the Japanese army, under the bombardment of artillery, the casualties would certainly not be small. Even then, Lu Han didn't want the Japanese artillery and shells to fall on the position, so Lu Han said to the guards around him: "Go and inform the artillery to open fire, and first shoot out the Japanese small artillery." ”

The guards turned away, and in a moment the artillery behind the position opened fire. The power of 120 caliber heavy mortars and 100 caliber heavy mortars is good, but unfortunately Wang Haitao does not have much in his hands, so he can only equip the guard troops, and the extra ones are given to the 90th division. Under the first blow of more than 20 mortars, one of the small guns of the Japanese army was blown to the ground, and the artillery was also killed and wounded everywhere.

The preemptive shelling of the guard battalion stunned Toda Yoshinao, and when he saw that the artillery was completely annihilated and the shells from the Chinese army fell on the soldiers' heads, Toda Yoshinao Osa, woke up like a dream and shouted: "Retreat, all retreat!" Hearing the shouts of Toda Yoshinao, the Japanese troops who had been confused by the shelling fled one after another, and Toda Yoshinao Osa also retreated under the protection of the guards.

The Japanese army withdrew for several kilometers before coming to a halt in shock. After Toda Yoshinao Osa asked his subordinates to reorganize the team and count the number of people, he realized that in just a few moments, one of his own wings had lost several hundred men, and also took all the artillery and artillery and four chariots. The firepower of the Chinese army was as fierce as it was, and its own artillery was completely lost, and Toda Yoshinao Osa had no idea how to carry out the following attack.

Seeing that the Japanese army was fleeing backwards, Lu Han did not pursue. After all, he only had a few hundred people, and it was okay to hold on to the position and use artillery fire and heavy weapons to hold on, and pursue thousands of Japanese troops. Besides, his mission is only to block the rescue of the second division by the Japanese army, not to eliminate the Japanese army who rescued.

Just as Toda Yoshinao Osa's rout and fled, the battle to encircle and annihilate the 2nd Division had already entered a fever pitch. The 1st Battalion and Light Armored Vehicles of the 881st Regiment and the other 2 battalions of the 881st Regiment, light tanks and heavy armored vehicles launched an assault on the periphery of the small village held by the 2nd Division from two directions. The Japanese army simply did not have heavy weapons to deal with so many tanks, so they could only rely on the soldiers to use human flesh bombs and bombs to block the attack.

The chariots were protected by the infantry, and there were not many Japanese soldiers who could get close to the chariots with human flesh bombs and bombs, but there were also two chariots that were really unlucky and were injured and broke down on the road. In order to prevent the attack from both directions, Hashimoto Tokio Osa could only break the east wall to make up the west wall, and constantly transfer troops from other directions to plug the leakage. This gave the reconnaissance battalion and assault detachments the opportunity to attack.

For reconnaissance battalions and assault detachments, infiltration and assault are exactly what they are good at. In the face of the thin defense line of the Japanese army, one or several assault groups cooperated with each other to cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, or sniping, or assault, breaking through the Japanese defense line from several places, and stirring up chaos in the Japanese army position. Hashimoto was organizing a surprise attack of soldiers blocking the chariots, when he suddenly found that Chinese troops had broken through the defensive line in two other directions.

Just when Hashimoto was panicking and was about to organize soldiers to block again, a cannon and bullet from a tank exploded next to him. The smoke cleared, leaving a crater on the ground, and there was no more of Hashimoto's Tokio Daisa. Without the organization of Hashimoto Tokio Daisa, the Japanese army was even more chaotic, and the Japanese army on the position of not having much effort was in collapse.

The Japanese officers and soldiers, who were still a little sober, quickly retreated towards the small village. The unconscious Japanese scurried around like headless flies, and as a result, most of them were killed and a few captured. Only a handful escaped the encirclement in the chaos. After clearing the Japanese troops outside the village, several troops joined forces and tightly surrounded the remaining 1,000 Japanese troops in the small village.

Lieutenant General Maruyama Masao knew that this was the last moment, but now he could not think of anything but sending telegrams to Commander Imamura Jun asking for help. However, his telegram for help still had some effect, and in addition to another telegram ordering Toda Yoshinao Daisa, Commander Imamura also called in aircraft support from the naval aviation unit.

Just as the 881st Regiment and reconnaissance troops were besieging the remnants of the Japanese army in the small village and preparing to launch a final assault, the roar of aircraft was heard in the sky. Chu Zhengyang was also very familiar with this voice, and as soon as they heard it, they knew that there were a lot of Japanese planes coming. If they scatter and dodge now, it will give the Japanese troops in the encirclement an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Chu Zhengyang immediately made a decision and asked the infantry to still surround the village and do a good job of concealment. All the tanks returned to the open field and maneuvered to avoid the Japanese planes, while also attracting the Japanese bombing. Vehicles have heavy machine guns that can fire at the air, and light tanks have special anti-aircraft machine guns, which can be used against enemy aircraft. At the command, the soldiers outside the village lay on the ground, and the movable chariots drove at high speed towards the open field on the periphery.

As soon as the tank drove into an open field, Japanese planes appeared in the sky. In order to attract the attention of the Japanese aircraft, the heavy machine guns on the combat vehicles first opened fire into the air. Although the enemy aircraft were not hit, the attention of the Japanese planes was also attracted to the past. The chariot spread out in the open field, firing at full speed in the air.

For combat vehicles moving at full speed, Japanese planes mostly resorted to dive bombing. The commander of each tank paid full attention to the direction in which the Japanese plane was diving, and when he found that the plane had dropped a bomb, he used methods such as stopping sharply, turning sharply, and accelerating to avoid the bombs and bombs dropped. The 24 Japanese bombers and six escort fighters were all engaged in the ground attack, and the battle lasted for more than an hour before the Japanese planes returned home.

In the battle of more than an hour, the mixed armored battalion paid a heavy price, three light tanks were destroyed and two were wounded, and the combat vehicle of the battalion commander Zhao Linghe was also hit, and the entire vehicle group, including Zhao Linghe and the battalion commander, was killed; four heavy armored vehicles were destroyed and two were wounded; five light armored vehicles were destroyed and three were wounded; and more than 50 soldiers were killed and more than 20 were wounded. After this battle, only three intact light tanks remained, two heavy armored vehicles remained, and four light armored vehicles remained. Two Japanese planes were also shot down and three were damaged.

Fortunately, only a few planes dropped bombs and bombs on the infantry, and the infantry suffered only more than 40 casualties. When the Japanese troops in the village arrived, they were like a shot in the arm, and they tried to take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement twice, but they were all beaten back by your soldiers guarding outside the village, leaving more than 100 lives. After the Japanese plane flew away, Wei Lixuan and Chu Zhengyang first ordered the rescue of the wounded, and then re-discussed how to deal with the Japanese troops in the village.

After some discussion, the two decided to use all the artillery, including the self-propelled howitzers and artillery battalions that had not suffered losses, the eighteen 105-caliber self-propelled howitzers and artillery guns, and dozens of mortars of large and small calibers that could be concentrated to carry out indiscriminate covering shelling of the village.

After the artillery bombardment was over, the remaining chariots opened the way, and the 881st Regiment charged. Reconnaissance battalions and assault detachments were stationed outside the village to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. Once agreed, the order was communicated. After a while, the sound of artillery was heard in several directions. Cannons and shells flew into the village and fell, and in the continuous explosions, mixed with the screams of the Japanese soldiers. The smoke and flames in the village can be clearly seen from a long distance.

The shelling lasted forty minutes, and the shelling plowed the small village twice before stopping. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, the chariots that had been prepared long ago and the officers and men of the three battalions of the 881st Regiment quickly rushed into the ruined village. The earthen walls of the village had collapsed under artillery fire, and after rushing into the village, the mutilated corpses and severed arms of the Japanese soldiers could be seen everywhere, as well as large areas of blood. There were still seriously wounded and not dead Japanese soldiers screaming miserably, and some soldiers went over to make up for such wounded soldiers to end their suffering, and the officers and men of the 881st Regiment were not kind enough to treat the wounded Japanese soldiers.
