Facing another ferocious bombing by the Japanese aircraft, the Sichuan Army's 133rd Division had no better air defense method except escaping and finding hiding places to avoid air attacks.
Because they do not have anti-aircraft artillery groups or national army flying units to support operations,
Therefore, without the air defense weapons and equipment, and without the support of the aviation force, in addition to being concealed, we are still concealed.
This time, the Japanese planes' indiscriminate bombardment lasted for half an hour before leaving.
However, the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army suffered huge casualties, with over a thousand casualties.
Even the remaining troops of the 2nd Battalion of the 793rd Regiment, which He Feiyang himself had newly taken over, suffered half casualties from the bombing.
And He Feiyang himself was disgraced and in a very embarrassed state.
Although he has anti-aircraft weapons and equipment, the number is too small, and his subordinates have not been trained in the use of these weapons and equipment, so he can only use them in independent air defense operations.
It was also for this reason that when he faced the bombardment of a large number of incoming Japanese aircraft, he was unable to shoot down many of them and was defeated.
If there were only one, two, or even three Japanese planes, it would be easier for him to shoot them all down.
Because the anti-aircraft firepower of the Type 02 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine gun was placed there, the small number of Japanese planes attacking was not a threat at all.
But once more than a few Japanese planes attack at the same time, he will be in tragedy.
Especially these Japanese planes are not stupid enough to carry out low-altitude bombing.
So He Feiyang, who only had one Type 02 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun, said he had no way to deal with the incoming Japanese planes.
As for the 133rd Division of the Sichuan Army, without air defense weapons and equipment, air raid shelters, or cat-ear holes to avoid air raids and bombings, their casualties were enough to make division commander Yang Hanyu feel distressed.
However, after the Japanese aircraft group completed the bombing, the Japanese attack did not stop at all. The bombardment of their artillery units had just begun.
It also cooperated with the bombardment of heavy artillery,
In this regard, He Feiyang did not hesitate and led his troops to cover the female nurse medical team, as well as the supervisory captain Ge Xiaoli, who retreated to a safe position to avoid the Japanese bombardment.
In this regard, Inspector Ge Xiaoli had objected to Liu Feiyang doing this. She was the one supervising the battle and did not want to see the troops retreat.
But He Feiyang ignored her, and instead retreated to a safe position and blocked the other person's mouth while protecting the safety of the female nurse medical team.
Of course, if she continues to make noise, He Feiyang doesn't mind knocking her out and shutting her up.
Now if he wants to counterattack the Japanese army's land attack, he must first survive the Japanese artillery bombing, and he still needs to let as many people in his army survive as possible.
Otherwise, if he fights alone, he will die.
However, even when he was allowed to retreat to a certain distance, his troops suffered many casualties.
So in the end, the force he can possess is still the strength of a reinforced company.
He was very upset about this result.
However, he did not disrupt his counterattack plan.
He quickly issued instructions to disperse and deploy weak troops in his frontline positions.
And deploy superior forces in the rear,
The purpose of this was to wait for a probing attack by the incoming Japanese troops and then concentrate all forces to launch a counterattack.
It’s the tactic of attacking a sea of people,
Of course, if the incoming Japanese troops are more numerous than our own, there will be nothing we can do.
But if it is smaller than your own troops, you can defeat the smaller ones with more troops.
But the prerequisite is that the enemy's various artillery fire must be covered and avoided, and the human sea tactic will be more effective.
Otherwise, in the absence of artillery holes and cat-ear holes to avoid the enemy's artillery bombardment and the tank troops' tank artillery bombardment,
The human sea tactic can no longer be used.
Even if you use it, you still need to pay a heavy price.
"Battal Commander! Do we still want to retreat? The enemy's artillery fire coverage has not been completed yet! But our brothers have already suffered a lot of casualties. In addition to those who were injured and killed by the enemy's air strikes, we have lost two companies.
of troops!"
"If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid we will be exhausted!"
Seeing that the Japanese artillery fire was covering them with no signs of stopping, the company commander Zhou Zijian asked He Feiyang anxiously.
"There is no need to retreat. The Japanese artillery fire coverage is almost over. Now you can deploy the machine gun positions in front of me. At least six Type 92 heavy machine guns and more light machine guns!"
"We must attract the attention of the Japanese troops who are waiting to attack and make them think that all our main forces are concentrated on the frontline positions!"
"When they capture it without much defense, I will lead the reserve team to immediately launch a counterattack and defeat them!"
"Even total annihilation!"
"Luring the enemy deep, go!"
"Remember what we need to do is the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind!"
"Everyone who has learned machine gun training, follow me!"
"Except for the six Type 92 heavy machine guns on the front line!"
In response to company commander Zhou Zijian's inquiry, He Feiyang responded immediately without thinking.
"Yes! Battalion Commander!"
Everyone responded loudly to He Feiyang.
The company commander Zhou Zijian only hesitated for a moment and immediately followed the order.
Soon, the Japanese artillery fire really stopped.
At this time, company commander Zhou Zijian also quickly deployed the machine gun positions of the six Type 92 heavy machine guns on the front line, as well as the deployment of troops.
He Feiyang gave him two platoons of troops,
He Feiyang gathered the remaining two platoons of troops to the reserve team.
At the same time, He Feiyang also gathered up other Sichuan soldiers who had retreated from the front line.
After gathering and gathering, he actually gathered two companies of troops, so he organized them all into his own reserve team, preparing to welcome the Japanese army's attack.
As for the Sichuan officers and soldiers who were temporarily gathered by him, they were unwilling to obey his orders.
Because Inspector Ge Xiaoli is alive, standing on the side holding a pistol and supervising the battle.
At this time, in order for He Feiyang to obtain more troops for the battle, he also cooperated with the supervisory captain Ge Xiaoli's supervision of the battle this time.
Therefore, he also arranged a squad of troops to assist the supervising captain Ge Xiaoli in supervising the battle.
If anyone dares not to fight and continues to retreat, then they will listen to the words of Inspector Ge Xiaoli and deal with them.
Seeing this, Inspector Ge Xiaoli became a little more conciliatory about He Feiyang's retreat behavior just now, but she still remembered this matter and planned to have a good argument with He Feiyang after the war.
If she hadn't felt that He Feiyang was still a good anti-Japanese officer, she would have dismissed He Feiyang without hesitation, or sent him to a military court to deal with it.
When He Feiyang organized the two companies that had been gathered together in a rout, and distributed weapons, equipment, and ammunition, he quickly deployed them in the reserve, waiting for the Japanese forward troops to attack, and then
