Chapter 8
The scene at Erdaogou made Koizumi and his men more certain that the troops before them were the main force of the Northeast Army.
"Bakayaluo, put all your forces into it, intensify the offensive, and break through their positions."
Staff Officer Koizumi said angrily.
However, the Japanese captain objected.
"These Chinese have heavy artillery and extremely fierce firepower. Our soldiers' charge will only increase unnecessary casualties.
I suggest retreating a distance and waiting for reinforcements to arrive."
Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Koizumi cursed:"Asshole, retreating when encountering a little resistance, are you still a warrior of the empire?
The brigade commander told me that if I can't take Chengde, I will commit suicide by disembowelment.
But before committing suicide, I will definitely shoot you."
As a close confidant of the brigade commander Hattori Heijiro, he knew that this was no joke.
So he would take Chengde at all costs.
But the first battalion was already armed to the teeth, how could they break through with just one battalion.
The Japanese army launched a charge.
They were met with dense rain of bullets and shells.
They could not enter the position 50 meters ahead.
At this moment, the front of the position was covered with Japanese corpses.
But their grenade launchers were really difficult to deal with.
Not only was the firing very concealed, but the accuracy was also very high.
So after this battle, Jiang Fan began to equip each squad with a Springfield sniper rifle.
Although this full-power bolt-action rifle Although the firing rate is slow, the range is long, the accuracy is high, and the power is great.
The grenade launcher can be very effective against the Japanese devils.
However, this requires a high level of marksmanship from the soldiers.
But for the Red Alert soldiers, this is the most basic.
More than an hour later, the Japanese offensive began to decline.
Koizumi also found something wrong at this time.
Although the Chinese troops in front of them are small in number, their firepower is extremely fierce.
In particular, their machine guns have a very fast firing rate, and the artillery fire has never stopped.
It left a very deep impression on them.
If they want to capture the position in front of them with just one battalion, they will probably have to pay an extremely heavy price.
"How many casualties were there?"
Looking at the captain who came back with red eyes, Koizumi asked coldly.
"More than 300 people."
After hearing this, even Koizumi took a breath.
It has only been more than an hour, and the casualties are so great.
After thinking for a moment, he said:"Stop the attack, let the troops rest, and launch a night attack at night."
The night can greatly weaken the opponent's firepower advantage.
It can also cover their attack very well.
As long as they rush into the opponent's position, he is confident that he will win.
The captain was relieved and agreed with this approach.
Facing the retreating Japanese army, Xie Ning frowned.
"Battalion commander, the Japs actually retreated, are they planning to give up?"
Xie Ning said thoughtfully,"Perhaps they are waiting for a better opportunity. It seems that there will be a fierce battle tonight.
Let the soldiers get a good rest. The Japanese army will definitely launch a night attack tonight."
Xie Ning guessed very accurately.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the minefield in front of the position suddenly exploded.
All the soldiers immediately entered combat status.
High-lumen searchlights on high ground were turned on one by one.
Mortars also fired flares into the sky.
In an instant, the entire position was illuminated as if it were daytime.
Under the bright light, the Japanese army had nowhere to hide.
At this moment, more than 200 meters in front of the position, a large number of Japanese troops appeared.
After seeing the failure of the night attack, they decisively launched a fierce charge.
"Kill......."
"Boom boom boom....."
Landmines were stepped on one after another, but the Japanese soldiers still charged forward without hesitation, without any fear in their eyes.
""Shoot!"
Suddenly, the guns and cannons on the battlefield roared.
The dense rain of bullets fired by rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns instantly enveloped the battlefield.
The artillery in the rear also launched an artillery attack under guidance, using the barrage to block the Japanese army's subsequent attack and cut off their retreat.
Suddenly, hundreds of shells fell like raindrops in front of the battlefield.
The 105mm howitzer was very powerful, leaving blanks in the Japanese army.
Under such fierce firepower, the Japanese army fell down in groups like lambs to be slaughtered.
"Retreat, retreat immediately."
At this time, Koizumi was really scared.
The enemy's ferocity was beyond their imagination.
If they continued to charge, the entire battalion might not be enough.
After leaving hundreds of corpses in front of the position, the 25th Infantry Battalion began to retreat.
Xie Ning did not pursue them because it was no longer necessary.
They would die at dawn.
After retreating more than ten kilometers, they finally stopped.
Even though the temperature was close to below zero, Koizumi felt cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
"Send a telegram to the brigade headquarters immediately. We need reinforcements. The main force of the Northeast Army is here."
"Report, the brigade headquarters called back, the brigade commander has sent two battalions of troops to reinforce."
Soon after, they received a call back.
This also made them all relieved.
At this moment in the Red Alert base,
BT-7 fast tanks drove out of the armored factory.
It was not until about 5 am that the first tank company was completed.
A total of 18 BT-7 fast tanks
"Set off, cooperate with the first battalion, and completely wipe out the 25th Infantry Battalion of the Japanese invaders."
This is also the strength of the Red Alert Base.
As long as the equipment and personnel are produced, the organization and combat effectiveness can be directly formed.
PS: After writing other works, I always feel that the Anti-Japanese War Red Alert is still more exciting, so I picked it up and continued to write.
