With the explosion of grenades, the Japanese offensive momentum was repelled, but the two sides were still fighting fiercely. It was only then that Chen Zhenhai issued a second counterattack order. The firepower of the entire company opened fire fiercely, and the firepower on the position increased sharply.
, the Japanese could no longer resist Feng and began to retreat, but dozens of corpses were left behind in front of the position.
As Chen Zhenhai said, the Japanese who were hit immediately launched an even more frenzied artillery bombardment. At this time, the main force's ambush battle was going on fiercely, and the next attack to rescue the Japanese was even more frenzied.
Being blocked by their positions, the Japs went a little crazy. They launched a more ferocious attack under the cover of artillery fire. The Japs also rushed up with great pressure. This time the Japs were fully prepared. In order to cover the attacking soldiers, in addition to mortars,
The Japanese's grenades were covered by firepower from 200 meters away from the position, which caused a lot of casualties on the position.
"Damn it, let you have a taste of grenades." Seeing that the firepower around him was suppressed by the Japanese grenade, Sanbao immediately took out the captured grenade and started to fight back.
His counterattack successfully destroyed several Japanese grenadiers, but also attracted the attention of the Japanese. Sambo was hidden behind a bunker, and the Japanese machine guns could not hurt him, but the remaining Japanese grenades were aimed at him.
Where he was hiding, several grenades fell and exploded around Sanbao...
The Japanese's second ferocious attack was finally repelled. At this time, the Japanese who were assisted by Shexian County on the other side were also repelled. The ambush ended successfully, and the troops began to evacuate quickly. The Japanese army, which had suffered a heavy blow, was furious.
, in the afternoon, more than a dozen Japanese planes came to support and bombed the positions where fierce battles had been fought, but all the troops had already evacuated.
Sanbao, who withdrew from the position, felt a little upset. Firstly, his grenade was blown up, and secondly, he was unhurt. He was hiding in the bunker. When the falling grenade exploded, the shrapnel was at a 45-degree angle. Sanbao was injured except for his ears.
There was a buzzing sound from the shock, and the whole body was covered in dust.
"It would be nice if I got hurt a little." Sanbao actually thought of this. Now he could go to his sister's place to recuperate for a while, so he wouldn't have to see the leader.
What should be done should be done. The superior asked Chen Zhenhai to take Sanbao to the regiment headquarters. This time, even Su Yuan was involved. Su Yuan already knew about their battle to ambush the Japanese at Baishui River. Although this battle was a private change operation by the subordinates,
It was a plan, but the result was very good. It not only blocked the advance of the Japanese but also killed many Japanese. The regiment should take credit for them.
At the regiment headquarters, Deputy Commander Xu had already arrived. As expected, the leaders asked about the battle at Baishui Bridge from the very beginning. Chen Zhenhai hurriedly explained the battle in detail, which he naturally attributed to Sanbao.
"How could San Bao appear behind us with a group of puppet troops and war horses?" the regiment leader shouted: "Our guard thought it was the Japanese cavalry. If the deputy division commander hadn't calmly judged that the Japanese cavalry would not appear here,
, our ambush plan this time will come to nothing, we killed more than a thousand Japanese in this battle! Can you afford it?!"
Su Yuan and Chen Zhenhai looked at each other, and they did not dare to say anything more. However, Sanbao felt guilty when he saw the two of them being criticized for themselves, so he muttered back: "It's not their fault, it's Shanzi and I who are in the same village."
When we encountered the Japanese and puppet soldiers robbing the common people, we couldn't help but kill three of the Japanese. The puppet soldiers surrendered without a fight, and we escorted them back."
"Then you should report it to your superiors in time." the group leader replied.
"It's because those vigilant eyes are not good..." Sanbao muttered in a low voice: "I was on a horse escorting the puppet troops, and they had no weapons, and there were ordinary people around us. I couldn't tell, so I thought they were cavalry.
"
"Haha, that's right. Comrade Sanbao cannot be entirely blamed for this. The security team is also responsible." The deputy division commander on the side said with a smile.
"That's right." Sanbao immediately responded.
"You just said that just two of you killed three Japanese soldiers and captured more than a dozen puppet soldiers. How courageous are you?" the deputy division commander asked fondly.
"It's nothing, I was holding a machine gun at the time." Sanbao replied immediately.
"Where did your machine gun come from?" the regiment leader asked immediately.
"The company commander asked me to demolish the Baishui Bridge repaired by the Japs." Sanbao replied, "I thought it was too troublesome, so I waited for the Japs there, but a transport vehicle and a motorcycle came..." Waiting for Sanbao to finish the battle.
After saying that, everyone was extremely shocked.
The new soldiers of this class actually killed nine Japanese soldiers in two battles, captured more than a dozen puppet soldiers, seized numerous supplies and horses, and rescued ordinary people.
"Okay, the situation is clear." Deputy Commander Xu said, "We should ask for credit for Comrade Sanbao."
"Yes." The leader responded.
"And I think he is good enough to serve as platoon leader." Deputy Commander Xu finally said.
In this way, Sanbao was quickly promoted to the platoon leader of the main force after joining the Eighth Route Army for half a year...
