Fei Jieshu rushed forward with the third battalion. Compared with the Japs from the opposite regiment, their number of troops was pitifully small. However, no one was afraid. Fei Jieshu rushed at the front. Beside him, the instructor Fu Qiang Guard Zhuang Shanyu followed closely. Fu Qiang held two short guns in both hands and stared vigilantly ahead, ready to throw the incomprehensible book under his body at any time.
The sound of grenades piercing the air began, and on the opposite side, the Japs' mortars began to roar. The two sides were still more than 500 meters apart. At this distance, no one fired. From this, it can be seen that the two sides participating in the war The troops at least have commanders who are familiar with basic tactics; the quality of the soldiers is relatively high, and they are not so nervous that they fire randomly whenever they see the enemy.
There was no need to explain the instructions. The battalion's mortar platoon also began to fight back. The sound of grenades breaking through the air became sharper. People on both sides fell down from time to time. Except for the busy health workers, no one in the third battalion stopped. Five hundred Meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, Wu Jishu calculated the distance silently, and suddenly shouted: "Spread out, find cover, and shoot freely." Soldiers with good marksmanship immediately adjusted their continuous fire to burst fire, one after another black. The bright barrel of the gun protruded from behind the wall and tree trunk. When 200 meters away, a Japanese soldier squatted down and began to aim and shoot. The snipers of the third battalion immediately pulled the trigger.
Amidst the gunfire of "ping ping ping pong", people in the charging team of the little devils fell down from time to time. Soldiers from the third battalion were also hit from time to time, but most of them were hit on their helmets, causing temporary fainting. Que, or grinning and scolding: "You stupid little devil."
At 200 meters, except for the machine gun, Ren Jianxiu San did not hear the continuous shooting sound of the Wei Qing assault rifle. His heart was more than half relieved. The team of the Xuebing Army was characterized by the continuous and intensive firepower. He thought it was really like this. Jing Shuxuan said that the reinforcements this time were really troops belonging to the 29th Army.
There were not many Chinese troops on the opposite side, just over a thousand people. They should be the outpost of reinforcements. There were nearly three thousand people in his own regiment. He divided the troops decisively, using squadrons as units to spread the attack area. At the same time, Pressing forward, his idea was to entangle the enemy with a fierce frontal attack, and then surround the enemy with the excess troops from both sides to form an encirclement. He wanted to encircle and annihilate the Chinese troops of more than a thousand people.
As soon as Qin Xiangyu saw the little devil changing formations, he immediately guessed his intentions. He couldn't help but feel grateful for his previous arrangements. Facing an enemy that far outnumbered him, if they didn't use fortifications for defense, it would be impossible for them to withstand the enemy's attack. Huang Chengxin also saw this. He stuck out his tongue to Duo Xiaoming, the instructor of the first battalion next to him, and whispered: "It's better that the regiment had the foresight to arrange for us to build fortifications early." Then he turned around, I don’t dare to face Qin Xiangyu anymore,
Duo Xiaoming was thinking about another question. He said, "Fortunately, all the people in Huangzhuang have evacuated. Otherwise, how many people would have been accidentally injured in such a fierce battle."
Qin Xiangyu was adjusting his orders at this time. He asked the Second Battalion to immediately occupy the residential buildings on the left side behind the Third Battalion. At the same time, he told Fei Jieshu through the walkie-talkie to retreat to the right if he couldn't hold on any longer and not to fight the enemy to death, and then again Let the telegraph operator telegraph Deng Zige, report the battle situation here, and make suggestions, let the brigade consider whether to separate a group to wedge into Xiaocheng Village, about five miles away from Huangzhuang, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the Japanese flank from there. launch an attack,
On the front line of the battle, the third battalion was already involved in a fierce battle with a squadron of the 19th Regiment at the forefront. When the continuous gunshots of the Wei Qing assault rifle rang out, Hidezo's first reaction was to be stunned. He said, "No, it's the Xuebing Army." Then, thinking of all the legends about the Xuebing Army in the army, his expression became solemn.
The firepower output of the Wei Qing assault rifle and the light machine gun is almost the same as that of the light machine gun, which has always been the most feared by the Japanese army. The firing method of this gun seems to be similar to that of a submachine gun, but its range and accuracy far exceed the latter. Xifengkou , Tiemenguan, the Japanese army has seen the power of this rifle many times,
The little Japanese charged so hard that before anyone could see Xiu San adjust the combat order, the squadron at the front had already suffered one-third casualties, and the rest were forced to lie on the ground, never daring to raise their heads again.
"Captain, the Chinese firepower is very fierce, we can't rush through." At this moment, a squadron that had circled back to the left side of Huangzhuang also encountered the strong firepower of the second battalion. Without any accident, they were suffering casualties. After gathering more than thirty people, the officers and soldiers agreed that one squadron would not be enough to charge under such intensity of firepower. Therefore, the squadron leader, who was afraid of being incompetent in supervising the battle, hurried to the back to report the situation.
Seeing Xiuzan's brows furrowed, in fact, the squadron leader didn't need to say more. He had already seen that, without enough follow-up power to forcefully charge under the fierce firepower of the Wei Qing assault rifle, this kind of cramming would be impossible. The charging method was the same as committing suicide. Exceptionally, he did not scold the squadron leader, but ordered all the mortars and grenade launchers of the regiment to be mobilized and used uniformly. He thought: In this situation, planes should be dispatched. The bombing was carried out, but the aviation force was frightened by the Chinese, so they could only rely on these mortars and grenade launchers for covering bombardment. I hope they can open up the situation.
People saw that Xiu San's move was very vicious and sophisticated. Qin Xiangyu was always paying attention to every move of the Japanese army. After discovering this scene through the telescope, he decisively ordered the second and third battalions to move closer to the first battalion and take the troops back.
As soon as the Second and Third Battalions retreated into the trenches hastily dug by the Third Battalion, the Japanese grenades set the place where they had just been in fireworks. The continuous bombardment lasted for about ten minutes. Perhaps they sensed that the Second Battalion and the Third Battalion were attacking. Seeing the movement of the battalion, Hidezo ordered the artillery bombardment to stop, and ordered the infantry to charge. At the same time, he pulled the two squadrons far away, and then cut diagonally towards the trench area newly dug by the third battalion.
Witnessing the Japanese army's well-organized attack, Fei Jieshu became anxious. He said to Qin Xiangyu: "Commander, this won't work. If the mortars are pushed forward by the little devils, we will have to be beaten passively. In my opinion, we can take advantage of this opportunity." Let’s take advantage of the opportunity.”
Qin Xiangyu frowned and asked the telegraph operator: "Where are the 10th and 12th regiments? Is there any news from the brigade?"
The telegraph operator shook his head,
Qin Xiangyu cast his eyes on the Japanese troops who were steadily surrounding them in a skirmishing line. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "We are all here. Charge in the northwest direction as a squad. Be careful to keep your distance."
"Yes." The three battalion commanders replied in unison. Their eyes all revealed a look of death, and then they quickly walked towards their own team.
This time, they are really going to carry out the glorious mission of the first attack.
