The Japanese army that had just broken through the front line suddenly stopped attacking. Before Battalion Commander Jin could figure out what was going on, two company commanders rushed over.
"Battal Commander, the Japanese were attacked from behind and have temporarily stopped attacking." A company officer reported.
With the support of the guards, Battalion Commander Jin stood up hard and said to the two company commanders: "It's the British and Burmese troops who have embarrassed the engineer battalion and collapsed at the first touch. We are the 200th Division. You two, hurry up."
Organize the troops and fight back to the front line. If you fail to complete the task, I will kill you."
"Yes." The two company commanders also said, and they went back to their troops.
When a health worker ran over to bandage Commander Jin's wound, Commander Jin was staring at a company on the left and right from the command post. Although there was a momentary rout, they were all soldiers of the 200 Division after all, soldiers trained by Commander Dai himself.
Soon, the two companies, led by the company commander, quickly pushed back to the front line.
Luo Yuesong discovered that the Japanese commander led the reserve team to turn around to defend the rear, and immediately shouted to his brothers: "Stop advancing, hide on the spot, save ammunition, and continue to attack."
Huineng found a ridge and lay down, Hanba hid under a big tree, and Whooping Crane lay directly on the ground. The machine guns of the three of them kept aiming at the Japanese, firing two consecutive rounds at the same spot, keeping the enemy at bay.
Attack posture.
Yuesong saw the opportunity and fired with one shot, killing a Japs with a little head popping up. The Japs team leader immediately realized that this was a precise shot from a sniper rifle. Since he couldn't figure out how many enemies were behind him,
Judging from the sound of gunfire, there were at least three machine guns, and they were all different types of machine guns. Now that the sniper rifles were firing again, the Japanese commander immediately ordered the troops to covertly block the attack on the spot. He had to use binoculars to observe the battlefield situation.
Battalion Commander Jin's two companies had just returned to their positions and formed a confrontation with the attacking Japs. A company sent by the 1139th Regiment and the 1140th Regiment for reinforcements came from the west and east respectively. This was no longer an engineer battalion.
The soldiers are two companies with rich combat experience in the main force of the division.
The two company commanders entered the position and met with the two company commanders from the engineering battalion respectively. After understanding the situation of the Japs, they immediately guessed who the Chinese troops who suddenly appeared behind the Japs were. If they guessed correctly, the number was obvious.
not much.
So the four company commanders and Battalion Commander Jin discussed it together and made a temporary decision. Two companies from the engineering battalion were to hold the position, and the two reinforcement companies launched an attack on the Japanese, cooperating with the troops outside the city, and connecting with the troops outside the city.
Battalion Commander Jin finally regained his composure and his head was much clearer. Suddenly he remembered that he should consult the division headquarters for such a large combat operation, so he called the division headquarters.
Commander Dai had finished shaving and was drinking tea when he received a call and listened to Battalion Commander Jin's report and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and opportunities only appear in an instant. You should seize it yourself."
When Battalion Commander Jin heard this, he immediately understood and replied loudly: "Yes, Commander."
Turning around, he ordered the two company commanders: "The opportunity is fleeting. Now I order your two companies to attack immediately to meet our troops outside the city. Remember, do not fight for a long time. After the goal is achieved, immediately withdraw in an orderly manner."
"yes."
The two company commanders received the order, returned to the company, and immediately organized an attack.
Three to four hundred people were suddenly killed on the left and right sides of the position. The attacking Japs had enemies in front of and behind them, and they actually took the initiative to attack. The Japs team leader had not yet figured out the situation of the enemies behind him, so he did not dare to fight rashly, so he immediately commanded
While blocking the attack, the troops retreated to the northwest.
"Captain, the brothers in the city are pretty good. The defeat quickly turned into an attack. The Japanese are retreating. What should we do?" asked the third brother.
"Brothers, we can go up, fight with me and move towards the city." Yuesong ordered.
"Yes." The brothers stood up one after another, firing at the Japanese and heading towards the city.
Twenty minutes later, all the Japanese soldiers withdrew, leaving behind more than 80 corpses. Luo Yuesong also joined the 200 brothers who had come to attack and support them, so the brothers withdrew into the city together.
The reinforcing combat companies continued to stay in the north of the city. The engineer battalion commander and Luo Yuesong's reconnaissance team returned to the division headquarters to resume their duties.??
