Lu Jingguang was annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should let Xia Yuan and them retreat, and wait for their reinforcements to arrive before making a decision. The resistance of the Fourth Company was very pale, and although there were many Japanese corpses floating on the river, many Japanese soldiers still jumped into the river and swam towards the shore where the Fourth Company was defending.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jingguang quickly ordered the troops to enter the housing area to fight the Japanese army, and the direction of the shore was impossible, and in such an open field, the Japanese devil's artillery could exert its greatest power.

Lu Jingguang had to consider whether they could beat the Japanese army once they were put in to fight.

Once it can't be defeated, the Japanese army will rely on the housing area on the river bank to deploy defenses, further threatening the surrounding defense areas of the 18th Brigade.

"There is no choice at the moment, and putting the troops on the bank of the river is no different from a live target." Lu Jingguang used a telescope to observe the situation on the other side of the river, the sky was dark, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and he couldn't see what kind of situation was on the other side of the river at all, so he could only see a rough idea.

The three firing points of the Japanese devils threatened their soldiers in the form of point fire, and two detachments of Japanese troops began to cross the river, leaving some Japanese devils with grenadiers to shell the positions of the four companies on the other side of the river.

What happened to the situation of the fourth company, I couldn't see it clearly, and I could vaguely hear the scattered gunshots through the smoke of gunpowder.

Resistance is weak.

"The deputy company commander has been found!"

Good news came one after another, hearing the news that Xia Yuan was fine, Lu Jingguang breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Yuan was fine, they still had a chance, if something happened to Xia Yuan, then they would face the next battle, which would be particularly difficult.

"Take me to him."

Xia Yuan was arranging the next battle plan for Zhao Shiguo and them in the ruins in front of them, Lu Jingguang hurried over with the scouts, in this dilapidated earthen house, the earthen wall that was still erected was their only shield, and the earthen wall was half cracked, and the top was full of bullet holes.

"The fourth company was basically wiped out, and the commander of the fourth company was killed by the machine gun of the Japanese devils." Xia Yuan looked at Lu Jingguang and said in a deep voice, "I was driven over by the shells of the Japanese devils." ”

"It's okay if you're okay, you have a chance to live." Lu Jingguang's thick eyebrows and big eyes moved, and he said: "The Japanese devils have started to cross the river again, and you have already eliminated a Japanese attack?" ”

"Hmm." Xia Yuan nodded, and said: "Next, we can't fight the Japanese devils by the river, they have flat-fire guns, mortars, and long-range howitzers, and we can't beat them in positional warfare, especially the positions along the river are wetlands, not to mention shells, even bullets can penetrate the position." ”

"Housing area." Lu Jingguang said: "We can fight them in the defense zone. ”

Xia Yuan thought about it and shook his head: "You can't be in the housing area, once the Japanese devils enter the housing area, the troops behind will continue to pour up, and it's not good to get rid of it, and our individual soldier ability is not as good as the Japanese army, and many people will die." ”

Lu Jingguang groaned: "What is your plan?" ”

"Let's hit the periphery." Xia Yuan pointed to the earthen wall beside him and said: "Many of the earthen walls along the river have not collapsed yet, and there is a river beach in front, if the Japanese army wants to cross the river, they have to cross the river beach, we rely on the edge of the house to fight them, and if we can't fight back, we can't retreat directly to the house area." ”

Lu Jingguang adopted Xia Yuan's proposal, "Then according to the deputy company commander's suggestion, let's fight the Japanese devils on the periphery of the room, and then I will talk about the arrangements of each platoon." ”

Xia Yuan groaned: "Company commander, let's not spread the troops. ”

Lu Jingguang was slightly stunned and said, "Don't you disperse the troops?" If we concentrate our troops too much, the Japanese shells will fall, and our casualties will increase. ”

Zhao Shiguo didn't say anything, his eyes were a little puzzled, but at the same time, he was full of confidence in Xia Yuan, although it was not reasonable to concentrate his troops to fight, but Xia Yuan's combat ability was not any problem.

Lu Jingguang thought for a moment: "What battle plan do you have?" ”

Xia Yuan said: "The Japanese army attacked us, they were at a disadvantage, but our troops were not many, and the concentrated forces occupied an absolute advantage, and the attacking Japanese army only had more than 20 people, as long as their artillery did not sound, we played a round of rapid fire, and then counter-charged, and directly annihilated this Japanese army." ”

His plan was bold, and if it didn't succeed, the Japanese shells would have been smashed.

Lu Jingguang thought about it for a while, and gritted his teeth: "According to what you said, there are really not many of our people, and if we really want to disperse, we may be broken by the Japanese army one by one." ”

Centralization has the benefit of centralization, and decentralization also has the benefit of decentralization.

Concentrated forces can form an absolute superiority, and when the troops are dispersed, the enemy's forces can also be dispersed, but there must be a measure of dispersion, and the scattered forces are because the enemy's forces are higher than the strength of our army, and their own forces are scattered. If the enemy is scattered, the firepower of each enemy attack position will be greatly reduced, so that the defense can hold out for a longer time.

On the other hand, it is quite foolish for us to disperse our forces when the enemy's forces are less than ours, and when the enemy's forces are small, we should concentrate superior forces and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

"We occupy the prerequisites, the Japanese army does not know our strength yet, this tactic can only be fought once, the Japanese army will be on guard, and it will inevitably open the way with shells."

Xia Yuan advised, and asked Lu Jingguang to prepare.

The three were laid out at a position of about 200 meters backwards from the position of the fourth company, and there were a lot of weeds on the river beach, and once the Japanese army hit them, these weeds would have a certain impact on the national army, but they would inevitably fight on the periphery of the housing area, otherwise, once the Japanese army entered the housing area, even if the third company that controlled the main battlefield, it might not be the opponent of the Japanese army.

The third company experienced the battle of Luodian, only seventy or eighty people remained, most of the wounded were left in the rear, and there were not many who could continue to fight, and it was obviously impossible to resist the attack of the Japanese army with such a force, let alone fight in the streets with the Japanese devils.

Fortunately, the attacking Japanese army did not have many troops, and there was a river, and if the Japanese devils wanted to attack, they had to weigh it.

When the third company was preparing, the position of the fourth company was basically unable to hear the sound of gunfire, and everyone leaned on the bunker, silent, some smoked, some wiped their rifles, and some pressed bullets.

Xia Yuan soaked in the water for a while, the clothes on his body were wet, the bullets were soaked in water, I don't know if it can be fired, it doesn't matter if it hits or not, it will be a bayonet later, he habitually carries three bayonets on his waist, and a bayonet on the head of the gun.

The brother next to him took a dry cloth, wiped the bullets one by one, and the magazine also entered the water, lifted it and shook it, wiped the water stains in the magazine, took a deep breath, and spit it out at the magazine, and then hit the bullet.

With the third company to share the Japanese firepower with him, he can show his strength.

The location of the river beach is not good, it is very restrictive to him, and the location on the edge of the house is relatively good.

The plains are still not suitable for his guerrilla warfare, and there are too few places to use and hide.

The Japanese crossed the river very quickly, and in the distance they heard the shouting of the scouts observing in front: "The Japanese devils have come ashore." ”

Hearing the voice of the scout, a row of soldiers hidden on the left and right sides of Xia Yuan quickly put down the shovels in their hands, pulled the bolt with their rifles, and put the bullets on the top, and the logistics soldiers carried boxes of ammunition into the ruins, and put the ammunition boxes at the feet of the soldiers, and the soldiers kept entering the rudimentary trenches.

"Calm down, wait for the Japanese devils to get close before shooting, don't shoot in advance, otherwise the Japanese devils' cannons will come over."

"After a round of rapid fire, rush up and fight with the Japanese devils with bayonets, the Japanese devils' artillery will not dare to fight, and quickly disperse after the fight, don't be targeted by the Japanese devils' mortars."

The Japanese devils came up, and Xia Yuan grabbed the 38 style and aimed at the detachment leader who was attacking the Japanese army.

At this moment, the Japanese did not realize the danger coming, and after they went ashore in the shallows, they took the lead in occupying the position of the fourth company, leaving three Japanese soldiers to watch, and they wanted to continue to advance, occupy the ruins of the houses in front, and build a firing point.

At the same time, Japanese troops in the rear began to cross the river.

The Japanese troops of the two detachments were only about 20 people, and the third company had 80 or 90 people, and it was very easy to use such tactics to fight the Japanese devils.

When these Japanese soldiers cautiously approached the defense area in a skirmish line, approaching less than 20 meters.

Bang.

After a gunshot, the detachment leader of the Japanese devils was thrown to the ground, followed by the noisy gunshots, after a round of rapid fire, there were only seven or eight Japanese soldiers left, dozens of people rushed out of the bunker with bayonets, and seven or eight people surrounded a Japanese soldier, and quickly eliminated this group of Japanese soldiers.

"Clean up the battlefield, move fast!"

Lu Jingguang shouted, watching Xia Yuan run forward, so he called a squad of soldiers to follow, they stopped in a depression, squatted on the ground, looked at the Japanese soldiers crossing the river in the distance, and heard the gunfire just now, these Japanese soldiers were obviously a little hesitant.

On the position of the fourth company on the bank of the river, three Japanese soldiers also entered the combat state, only daring to show half of their heads, looking cautiously ahead.

The three bullets flew over with a sharp sound of breaking the air before and after, and slammed into the heads of the Japanese devils, and the frightened Japanese soldiers fired indiscriminately, and the bullets flew everywhere.

Holding the gun, Xia Yuan, who retracted into the depression, looked at Lu Jingguang and more than ten soldiers of the third company who ran over, and laughed: "Why are you here, the little Japanese devils can't become the climate anymore, and the fourth company alone has killed nearly three detachments of Japanese soldiers." ”

"We're still lucky." Lu Jingguang lay beside Xia Yuan, picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and observed, "Thirteen Japanese soldiers, there are machine guns and cannons left on the other side of the river, this Japanese devil is not our opponent, how about the tactics just now?" ”

"It's feasible, the little Japanese devils don't know our troops, and they won't open fire, unless their observers see us with their own eyes." Xia Yuan took out a cigarette from his pocket, wiped a match and lit it, took a beautiful puff, and said, "Tell the brothers, let them pay attention to concealment." ”

"Go." Lu Jingguang said to a soldier behind him, and the soldier who received the order ran away quickly with a gun, and then said, "How are you going to fight next?" Listen to you. ”

"Whew!" He took a long breath of smoke and said: "Let's eliminate the Japanese troops of this detachment first, the current genius is just dawning, and it depends on whether the Japanese devils will increase their troops after suffering such a big loss." ”

"Good!"

"Company commander, arrange a few people to stay in this depression, the Japanese devils come up, just say hello, it's okay to come over, pay attention to dodge." Xia Yuan pressed the cigarette butt on the grass, got up from the ground, shook the rifle, a few water droplets splashed, and said, "I have to change the gun." ”

"It's simple, I have to give it to you, I touched it from the little Japanese devil in Luodian, and the gun is very good." When Lu Jingguang heard this, these were trivial matters, and he directly threw his rifle to him.

"Then I'll thank you in advance." Xia Yuan threw his rifle on the ground, took the rifle handed over by Lu Jingguang, pulled the bolt and looked at the magazine, "Satisfied." ”

He took out the bullets from his pocket, stuffed two of them, filled them to the brim, and aimed them at the Japanese soldiers in the river.

"One hundred and sixty or seventy meters, can you hit it?" Lu Jingguang looked at the human heads emerging from the river and asked.

"Look down on me, don't you, when you didn't come, I killed the three soldiers they left on the position of the fourth company, and only half of their heads were exposed." Xia Yuan aimed slightly, pulled the trigger, and Lu Jingguang caught a glimpse of a Japanese devil in the river lying down, and then floated up again.

"It's really amazing."

It's not the first time that Lu Jingguang has sighed, every time he sees such a miraculous marksmanship, he will still be shocked.

After firing four or five shots, the Japanese devil's artillery observer found his position, beckoned a few shells over, and smashed them around him painlessly, Xia Yuan pursed his lips, put the bullets in the magazine, and continued to aim and shoot.

Seeing that Xia Yuan's gun was still ringing, the gunner of the Japanese devil was ruthless, and kept firing shells to this side.

Xia Yuan's mind was buzzing, and the danger warning kept prompting, and the bombs exploded on both sides of the depression, and shrapnel wrapped in dirt splashed everywhere, grazing Xia Yuan's head several times.

Xia Yuan's reaction was already very fast, and he lay on the ground every time, and pressed Lu Jingguang on the side to the ground by the way.

The few soldiers in the back were very smart, and the Japanese devil's shells came over, lying in the depression without saying a word, as long as the Japanese devil's shells did not fall on the depression, then there was nothing to do.

"Let's go, the remaining Japanese soldiers can't become the climate, let's retreat first." Lu Jingguang slapped the dirt on his head and couldn't help shouting.

"Company commander, you withdraw first, there are only a few left, soon."

Xia Yuan changed the bullet faster, and just inhaled the foul air into his stomach, he withdrew the cartridge case, put a bullet on top, aimed, pulled the trigger, all the movements were coherent, in one go, the bullet flew out of the chamber of the gun, with unrivaled strength, poofed into the body of the last Japanese soldier who tried to retreat.

The delusion of the Japanese devil's attack was completely shattered.
