Chapter 53: The combat strength of the three

Most of the strength of the 79th Regiment was exposed, and the 2nd Battalion was heavily blocked by the Japanese and could not move forward.

On the east side of the 2nd Battalion, the 3rd Battalion of the 79th Regiment was not discovered by the Japanese army, and the battalion went all the way south to the rear of the 22nd Wing's position. At this time, the 22nd Wing of the Japanese Army was in the bamboo forest on the north side of Wang's house, and was also surrounded by the soldiers of the battalion.

The officers, signal corps, and heralds of the Japanese headquarters were stationed at the headquarters of the wing, and the commander of the 22nd wing, Nagatsu Sabi, felt that there was no hope of breaking through and prepared to dispose of the flag of the wing in case the national army captured it.

However, the 79th Regiment did not do a meticulous job of reconnaissance of the Japanese army, only detected the Japanese defense troops, but did not know the distribution of Japanese troops inside, and even the three battalions surrounded the Japanese army, which was the headquarters of the 22nd Wing, they did not know.

A Japanese unit on guard in the northwest of the Japanese headquarters had a fierce battle with the Nationalist army, and the main force of the unit was attracted by the counterattacking Japanese army, and the headquarters of the 22nd Wing took advantage of the attention of the Nationalist army to escape from the encirclement of the third battalion, and the Nationalist army only captured sake and other materials in the headquarters.

In the subsequent battle, due to the failure of the counteroffensive of various divisions against the Japanese army, the 79th Regiment was forced to begin to retreat due to the large Japanese forces, and the 3rd Battalion of the 79th Regiment failed to receive the order to retreat due to the deep penetration of the Japanese army.

There was no coordination between the attacking troops, the reconnaissance situation was not timely, the combat plan was not adjusted, and the communication conditions were harsh.

The Nationalist Army itself was faced with the situation that the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army were not equal, and the firepower gap was very large, and there were still many problems in the counterattack against the Japanese army, and these problems were the most fundamental reasons for the failure of the Nationalist army's counteroffensive.

The 79th Regiment had already penetrated deep into the rear of the Japanese army, completing a very beautiful intersperse, there was no Nationalist troops in the front to contain the large Japanese troops, and the 83rd Regiment withdrew from the battlefield prematurely, so that the Japanese army was able to free up their hands to deal with the 79th Regiment deep in.

The counterattack against Luodian was doomed to failure.

At the moment when the horn of Luodian's counteroffensive sounded, the battle of Qiao's house also began, a company of three columns launched an attack on Qiao's house, and the Japanese troops hiding in Qiao's house relied on the house and courtyard as a cover to launch a fierce shot at the attacking national army, and the explosion was like thunder resounding through the wilderness, and the guns crackled, like fried beans. Bullets weave through the night, crashing against walls with eerie bounce sounds.

The task of the soldiers of the second platoon was to attack the Japanese fire point, and such a task faced great risks.

More than ten soldiers of the second platoon and the third squad tied the grenades into a bundle with ropes under the cover of the soldiers behind them, held them in their arms, rushed out of the buildings on both sides, and rushed to the Japanese fire bunker with grenades, and more than a dozen figures became hazy under the flickering firelight.

The Japanese army found the national soldiers who rushed out of the street, the Japanese soldiers hiding in the building shouted, controlled the light machine gun to shoot at the charging national soldiers, a string of bullets swept by, three national soldiers lay on the ground, and the blood mist exploded on them.

The surviving Nationalist soldiers ran faster, and their bravery was evident in them, facing the enemy's bullets and bullets, speeding through the broken streets, the bullets piercing the body of one of the soldiers, and under the influence of inertia, they fell heavily to the ground, and a bundle of grenades was thrown far away.

"Ah Ping!"

There was a shout from the third squad leader behind him, he rushed up and hid behind the wooden plank, pulled Ah Ping back, tremblingly untied the blood-stained clothes on his chest, the bullet pierced his stomach and chest, shattering his internal organs, Ah Ping obviously couldn't live, blood with foam kept coming out of his mouth, and his hand grabbed the third squad leader hard.

"I'm grunting, purring."

The bullet pierced his lungs, and his trachea was blocked by blood, and Ah Ping wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak, so he could only let out a grunt, like a submerged sound, and more blood came out of his mouth.

"Ah Ping, Ah Ping." The third squad leader shook Ah Ping's body, there was no sound, the third squad leader's expression became a little painful, he looked up at the machine gun position of the Japanese devils, and rushed over like crazy.

"Stupid Shina man!"

The machine gunner of the Japanese devil controlled the light machine gun and fired at the third squad leader with a burst of fire, and the charging figure lay on the ground.

"The third shift is gone."

In the dim, cramped room, the second platoon leader watched the battle situation ahead through the gap in the window, and the third squad only rushed out of a distance of thirty meters before being wiped out by the crossfire network formed by the Japanese light machine guns.

The entire battle lasted only a dozen minutes.

In one class, more than a dozen people were all killed by Japanese devils.

"Let's go!" The first squad leader stepped forward, squatted on the ground, and looked firm: "We are dead, let the second squad go." ”

"Good!"

Without much communication, the squad leader led the squad through the alley, to the street entrance, and with the cover of night, rushed to the machine-gun bunker that was constantly spewing fire.

In the alley, Xia Yuan took the scholar, Zhao Shiguo, Zheng Dayong, Xiaoliu, and Lao Lei to step on the broken rubble and touch it in front.

The sound of gunfire mingled around them, the flames flickered on the broken wall above them, and the figures in the twilight were like ghosts.

"Where did we feel it, and how did we feel that we were getting farther and farther away from the battlefield?" Zhao Shiguo held the gun tightly in one hand, his eyes looked at the surrounding environment, and the flickering firelight in the distance illuminated the broken wall overhead.

Bullets came from a great distance.

"Silence!" Xia Yuan looked back and compared the painting, and said: "This place is far away from the battlefield, but it does not mean that it is safe, the Japanese army has also built a military bunker in front, but it doesn't look like there are many people, let's touch it first and see the situation." ”

Walking through the alley and coming to the broken street, Xia Yuan used his night vision to observe the situation of the Japanese army in front of him: "If this Japanese army is eliminated, it may be possible to open the situation of Qiao's house from here." ”

"What are we going to do?" The scholar was ready for battle at any time, with his gun in hand.

"There are not many Japanese troops here, and a few of us can wipe out the Japanese troops here." Xia Yuan observed it and found that there was only one detachment of Japanese devils here, and the location here was not good, and it was not an offensive point, and the Japanese army's defense here was very loose.

The strength of a detachment was only a dozen people, and he himself was able to destroy this Japanese army.

At this moment, they have come to the edge of Luodian, through this street, and outside is a muddy depression and an endless plain, the national army will not choose to attack from here, and the Japanese army will not choose to defend here.

Xia Yuan observed it, but found that this was actually a relatively easy place to attack.

As for why they attacked from this direction, the biggest reason was that it was too far away from Luodian Town, and if they chose to attack from here, there was still some distance to Luodian Town, and the Japanese army that reacted could completely deploy along the way, and the gains outweighed the losses in the case of too large gaps.

The location of Qiao's house is not good, but it is also the edge defense line of the Japanese army in Luodian, and if they fight down, at least they occupy a corner of Luodian.

After thinking about it clearly, Xia Yuan took them to touch it.

A loose detachment of the Japanese army used a private house as a fortification, and piled up the broken wall at the entrance with earth to form a rudimentary bunker fortification.

Two Japanese soldiers leaned against the bunker fortifications with guns in hand, and smoke came out.

As everyone knows, in the ruins of the wooden houses on their sides, several black shadows are groping ahead, Zhao Shiguo and Zheng Dayong are carrying two light machine guns, which are not suitable for attacking fortifications, but suitable for fire cover, the two temporarily stopped, put the light machine guns on a wooden plank, and aimed at the houses in the distance.

The remaining four moved on.

When he was more than 20 meters close to the house, Xia Yuan waved his hand to stop moving forward, took out the grenade from his arms, and in the eyes of the scholar, Xiaoliu, and Lao Lei, the grenade floated out of the ruins and landed on the head of the Japanese devil smoking a cigarette, and with a bang, the grenade exploded above their heads.

"Up!"

Seeing the two Japanese devils lying on the ground, Xia Yuan gave an order, and the scholar, Xiao Liu, and Lao Lei quickly rushed up with guns, and the explosion woke up the Japanese devils in the house, and the Japanese devils who were not dressed well came out to check the situation.

Lao Lei was quick-eyed, holding the gun and pulling the trigger, the bullet whizzed out, knocking a Japanese devil who rushed out to the ground.

Xiao Liu lies behind the bunker built by the Japanese devils and shoots into the open room.

The scholar's movements are a little clumsy, and he feels a little powerless, and even his reaction speed and adaptability are not as fast as Lao Lei and Xiao Liu.

"Get down!" Seeing this, Lao Lei rushed forward and pushed the scholar to the ground, and the Japanese devil squatting at the door kept shooting at several people, and the bullets whizzed over his head.

The two who hit were shocked.

Lao Lei saw that the scholar was a recruit, and groped for the grenadier in the scholar's arms, and was stunned, "Go to the battlefield, what are you doing with this thing." ”

"The platoon commander didn't let me lose it." The scholar loaded the grenadier in his arms and said, "This thing is a treasure and cannot be lost." ”

Lao Lei then remembered the platoon commander, turned his head to look in Xia Yuan's direction, but there was no trace, and Xiao Liu's shout came from behind him: "Uncle Lei, the Japanese devils have rushed out, I can't suppress them." ”

Lao Lei turned his head suddenly, vigilantly found that the Japanese soldiers in the house had rushed out, he immediately set up a gun to counterattack, and the counterattack of the Japanese devils was even more powerful, three people in a combat group, shooting at them in a triangle, hitting the wooden planks above their heads with a thumping sound, and sawdust splashed everywhere.

"We can't stop their attack, where did the platoon commander go!?" Lao Lei couldn't lift his head after being beaten, squatted behind the cover, kept groping on his body, found out two grenades, pulled the line and threw it out, and the fire above his head weakened a little.

"Big use, Lao Zhao, if you don't shoot again, we will die." The scholar held the rifle and regretted it in his heart, knowing that he should have stayed behind, and set up the grenadier canister, which could also provide long-range firepower to Lao Lei and Xiao Liu.

But when attacking, he thought that the platoon commander could wipe them all out by himself because of these Japanese devils, but he never expected that the platoon commander would not follow.

In the rear, Zhao Shiguo set up a light machine gun and looked at Xia Yuan: "Why don't you give them fire support?" ”

Xia Yuan squinted and said: "Scholars need to sharpen themselves, they had enough time to throw grenades into the room before the Japanese army rushed out, they didn't do this, and missed the best time to hit the Japanese devils." ”

Zhao Shiguo thought for a while and said, "I didn't expect it, I guess as soon as the battle started, they panicked." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, looked at the battle situation in front of him, and motioned for him to bring fire support to the front.

"Great, support them." Zhao Shiguo almost became a machine gunner, and in successive battle victories, their machine gun shells were greatly replenished, and there was no shortage of machine gun shells at all.

Zhao Shiguo has experience in controlling machine guns, but Zheng Dayong does not, Xia Yuan and Zhao Shiguo plan to train Zheng Dayong to become a machine gunner, so sharpening on the battlefield is essential.

It was a grind for them.

Of course, the Japanese army of one detachment has combat effectiveness, but for Xia Yuan, the Japanese army of one detachment and the Japanese army of both detachments are the same, and he himself has rich combat experience and is not afraid of the Japanese army at all.

The scholars, on the other hand, did not fight the Japanese devils too much, and the Japanese troops of a detachment were completely under control, which was the most suitable for them to be whetstones.

It backfired, and the battle lasted only a few minutes before it ended.

It's not that the Japanese devils became weaker and were eliminated by the scholars, but under the offensive of the Japanese army, the scholars had no room to fight back, and those who were suppressed quickly lost the initiative and turned to passive combat.

Even if Zheng Dayong gave long-range fire support, the moment the Japanese devil grenadier was propped up, Xia Yuan knew in his heart that the Japanese devil's counterattack had begun, and he had no choice but to take out a few grenades and eliminate this group of Japanese devils.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Xia Yuan looked at the scholar and Lao Lei, didn't say anything, and took them to Qiao's house.

The three scholars are like frosted eggplants, obviously the initial initiative is in their hands, but they don't grasp it well, the Japanese devils just broke through the defense in front of the door, rushed out, and even completed the counterattack.

If it weren't for Xia Yuan's attack at a critical moment, they might have been killed by the Japanese devils.

"Platoon commander, it's my reason, I knew that I wanted to suppress the gate so that the Japanese army could not rush out, but the result was that the Japanese devils rushed out." Lao Lei took the initiative to find Xia Yuan and admit his mistake.

Obviously, Xia Yuan's sudden disappearance just now, as well as the fire support at the critical moment, and a few airburst mines, were all supported by Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "The three of you are still reluctant to deal with a detachment of the Japanese army, the battle in Qiaojia Town has started, let's support it quickly." (End of chapter)
