Chapter 164
The little Japanese who came to support did not stop because of Dianhou's counterattack, because they heard gunshots and explosions on the Hushan position.
So the little Japanese knew that the Hushan position was not completely occupied by the Chinese army, and that the Chinese army was just bluffing when they fired at them.
However, the little Japanese didn't know that although their troops in the Hushan position had some remaining strength, they could no longer play any role.
When Zhao Zhiguo was cleaning up the remnants of the Japanese army, he had already ordered the remaining troops to go forward and prepare to resist the Japs' first charge.
The heavy machine guns left behind by the Japs on the battlefield did not fire a single shot, and now they have all become sharp weapons in the hands of Chinese soldiers.
"Bang"
A flare shot into the sky. This time the little devil, Zhao Zhiguo and the others switched positions, and Zhao Zhiguo and the others became the defensive side.
However, the little devils were not so lucky. They had no chance to rush into the position in just three or two steps.
The light and heavy firepower on the position was fully activated. Under the illumination of the flares, the little Japanese who were about to rush to the position could not hide at all. They were all exposed to the muzzles of the Chinese soldiers.
The little Japs who came in a hurry were too eager to rush into the position, which also resulted in insufficient fire support from their rear to form a cover for the charging troops.
Although Zhao Zhiguo and the others were preparing in a hurry, the machine gun positions arranged by the Japs were intact and could be used as soon as they were brought over.
Coupled with the flares recovered from the corpses of the Japs, there was no need for the soldiers to fight in the dark. As long as the flares were lit, the Japs soldiers would turn into corpses one after another.
Ten minutes later, the supporting Japs troops retreated, and Zhao Zhiguo and the others also cleared away the remaining Japs on the position.
On the Huaxia position not far away, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army heard the sound of gunfire. They were all wondering who was fighting whom. They were already the forefront troops, how could there be any competition?
Their more forward troops.
The forward observation posts of the Jinsui Army immediately reported what happened to their commanders.
When the news spread to the division headquarters layer by layer, the staff of the Jinsui Army Division Headquarters were still discussing strategies to recapture the Hushan position.
"A fight broke out at the Hushan position? Who fought with whom?" the division commander of the Jinsui Army wondered.
"It's too dark, and our forward observation post doesn't know, but listening to the gunfire, it seems that the Japs are fighting with their own people, but this kind of situation shouldn't happen to the Japs' troops, but the puppet troops can do it.
This kind of thing happens."
The division commander of the Jinsui Army frowned. The little devil would definitely not be stupid enough to attack his own position.
"Could it be that the Japs deliberately lured us?" the commander of the Jinsui Army speculated.
"Report to the division commander, the gunfire on the Hushan position has stopped!"
Before the Jinsui Army could figure out what happened, the battle on Zhao Zhiguo's side was over.
"Stop? What is this? Inform the security company to assemble, let's go to the front!"
The commander of the Jinsui Army was a resolute man. He could not pretend to be confused and decided to go to the front line to investigate in person.
Zhao Zhiguo was not idle here either. After repelling the Japanese attack, he immediately ordered a retreat.
"Don't bring the rifle. Take away the binoculars, bullets, grenades and heavy machine guns!"
The Japs will definitely not launch another attack, because the position has been completely controlled by the Chinese army, and the firepower on the position is fierce. If they continue to fight, it is unknown whether they can win the position, but the casualties will definitely be high.
Zhao Zhiguo and the others no longer care about the Type 38 rifle. They still have hundreds of rifles hidden in caves, so there is no need to take them away.
As the Little Japanese troops retreated, the two squadron leaders of the Little Japanese soldiers never expected that their troops at the Hushan position could not hold out for even a quarter of an hour.
"Without shelling and without support from follow-up troops, our position was captured in just ten minutes. The Chinese army must have used a battalion or more of troops!" said a Japanese squadron leader.
"Our soldiers who retreated reported that the opponent's troops were not large at all, and all the firepower used to counterattack were our heavy weapons. However, our soldiers heard the sound of submachine guns on the position."
"Did the Jinsui Army use their most elite troops for the Hushan position?"
"The sound of submachine guns? The troops attacking our tanks and armored vehicles are also equipped with submachine guns. Are they the same force?"
"If we judge from the time point of view, after they withdraw, they will have time to sneak attack on the Hushan position."
The two squadron leaders gradually understood what was going on, but they also increasingly admired the commander of this unit for being able to attack them twice in one night.
"First destroy our armored vehicles and tanks to slow down our support, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack the Hushan position. This commander has a great idea!"
"The Hushan position has been lost. There is no point in staying here any longer. I suggest retreating after daybreak!"
Originally, these two little Japanese squadrons were transferred here for the Hushan position. Now that the Hushan position is lost, the Chinese army has closed the door again, and there is no point in continuing to stay.
After dawn, the Hushan position was quiet, with the cold wind, rocks and dead grass becoming the only guardians there.
The division commander of the Jinsui Army observed the Hushan position with a telescope. He looked carefully several times and found no trace of human activity on the Hushan position.
"It's weird, the fight was so fierce last night, why is there no movement at all this morning?"
"Commander, are everyone asleep?" the adjutant asked.
"Impossible, the little devils are not puppet troops. They have strict military discipline. There is no way they would sleep in after dawn! Send a few scouts to get closer and see what's going on."
When the Jinsui Army was reconnoitring the Hushan position, the little Japanese also checked the battle scene near the village again after dawn.
"The bullet casings of the Thompson submachine gun and the bullet casings of the shell gun, as well as the nameplates on the soldiers! Those who attacked us last night were definitely the elite of the Jinsui Army!"
The little Jaap felt that losing this battle was not unfair. In a close combat night battle, two submachine guns and a pistolman, as long as they cooperated properly, could completely suppress a detachment of the Japs.
Moreover, during the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Pistol Squadron made several surprise attacks on the Japanese army, causing a large number of casualties to the Japanese army and letting the little devils know that the Pistol Squadron was not to be trifled with.
Now that the pistol team's equipment has been upgraded and equipped with submachine guns with more powerful firepower, the little devil believes that this battle was not unjustly defeated.
However, the division commander of the Jinsui Army was still puzzled. They were not even the main force of the Jinsui Army. The real main force of the Jinsui Army would not be sent by Yan Laoxi to the Hutong area to look at the gate with the Northwest Army.
