Chapter 160 4 parties gather together
Gu Changfeng was not aware of the arrangements made by the old Japanese soldier Tani Hisao, but he received news from the scouts and learned that Tani Hisao had arrived with his men.
Now that everyone has gathered, Gu Changfeng has to prepare how to cook this big pot of stew.
In fact, it is simple. The Japanese 9th Division can be ignored and the reinforcements can be attacked directly. The Katyusha rocket launchers are prepared for them. After the battle, they can retreat to Chunhua Town and defend together with Wang Yaowu.
"Reporting to Commander Gu, the scout brothers have sent news that the Japanese artillery regiment has been destroyed."
After listening to the communicator's report, Gu Changfeng laughed happily.
"This Lao Lu is indeed a killer of the Japanese artillery. He can do this."
Although I don’t know the specific process, the Japanese artillery has been destroyed, which gives him more room to operate.
"Telegraph to Captain Lu, get out our mortars and bombard the enemy in front of our position. Use as many shells as you like."
Gu Changfeng was so arrogant that he issued another order that would ruin the family.
"Yes, Commander Gu."
The communications squad soldier was also very happy and immediately ran to convey the order.
On the battlefield, with the destruction of the Japanese artillery regiment, the Japanese soldiers suffered a lot.
There were heavy machine guns and snipers at a long distance, and snipers from various companies in the middle line. When they finally got close enough, the fire of various Type 99 rifles started again.
After only an hour of fighting, nearly an entire battalion was crippled. This result made the usually arrogant Akiyama Yoshihiko very uncomfortable.
"Sir, Captain, please let the warriors retreat first. Fighting them like this will result in too many casualties."
After the artillery regiment was just destroyed, the regiment commander Fujii finally plucked up the courage to ask Akiyama Yoshiyoshi for help.
"Let the warriors retreat first, and order the Izo League to quickly form an encirclement."
It was rare that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi didn't get angry, but his expression wasn't much better.
The losses were too great. Even if he eliminated the Chinese in front of him, his fate would not be any better. The credit he should have had would be wiped out.
What's more, in the current situation, the fact that he has more people on his side has become a disadvantage.
In fact, Yoshiyoshi Akiyama knew very well that it was still a problem of weapons and snipers. The enemy's weapons had a much longer range than his, and with a large number of snipers, the damage to his soldiers could be imagined.
As the Japanese soldiers withdrew from the battlefield and began to evacuate, Lu Daya no longer had a target to attack, so he began to wait.
When Zhao Ziqing saw the Japanese being driven away, he ran back to the command center out of boredom and said to Gu Changfeng when he saw him.
"The first wave of the Japanese attack has been repelled. Now we should wait for them to complete the encirclement."
These were all things that had been discussed beforehand, so he didn't find it strange.
With so many Japanese attacking, Gu Changfeng did not hide it from everyone. He told them everything and his plan directly, and only implemented it after everyone agreed.
"Who's faster, the Japanese soldiers in the east or the Japanese cavalry regiment? The next wave of Japanese attacks won't be that easy. Let's be careful."
A plan is a plan, but sometimes the Japanese may not follow your plan. Gu Changfeng knows this well.
As long as their retreat is not cut off, with their firepower and the fact that the 9th Division has lost its heavy artillery, it will not be a big problem for them to evacuate perfectly.
The only thing we need to worry about is the Japanese flying squadron on the evacuation route.
As the two were talking, a signalman came forward and said, "Commander Gu, the 301st Regiment sent a telegram saying that the Japanese cavalry regiment has appeared. The commander said they don't need to provide support for the time being and asked us to concentrate on dealing with the battle here."
"With the personnel and firepower of the 301st Regiment, it is still insufficient to deal with a Japanese cavalry regiment." Zhao Ziqing said seriously.
Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "Commander Wang has no troops to support him, so it will be difficult for Commander Ji even if he fights hard."
Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment and said to the signalman, "Order the rocket launcher platoon to provide quick support, and the artillery and mortar companies to move when the opportunity arises."
Now he is still waiting for the arrival of the Japanese 6th Division. He certainly does not want to evacuate. With the long-range attack of the rocket launcher platoon, the soldiers of the 301st Regiment can at least hold on for a while longer.
Zhao Ziqing suggested: "Why not just stop waiting and let the special forces take action directly? No matter how many Japanese soldiers are in the mountains and forests, they can't expect to gain any advantage over the special forces."
"Okay, let's do it. Let Dazhuang come back and work with the special forces." Gu Changfeng ordered.
We had prepared for an ambush before. After all, it was difficult for the Japanese to deploy thousands of troops in the mountains and forests, so retreating after the battle was a good idea.
However, now that the situation has changed, it’s okay to let the special forces take the initiative.
The order was quickly conveyed and all departments began to act quickly.
At this time, the two battalions of the 301st Regiment officially engaged in a battle with the Japanese.
Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Japanese cavalry regiment actually did not have that much advantage.
To be honest, if it is a large plain, more than 1000 Japanese devils charging at you can really make people despair.
After all, heavy machine guns are difficult to deal with unless there are enough of them.
Coincidentally, when the Japanese army was annihilated, Gu Changfeng gave all the Type 92 heavy machine guns and bullets to the 301st Regiment.
This is why Ji Hongru did not want to support.
Of course, the Japanese are not stupid. In this situation, they simply choose to split their troops and attack.
The 1400-man team was directly divided into three teams, and the soldiers of the 301st Regiment attacked from three directions.
"Fuck it, kill the horses first, aim the heavy machine guns, and kill these sons of bitches first."
Ji Hongru saw the Japanese splitting up their forces and suddenly felt that his decision not to provide support was a bit stupid.
But the situation is already like this, he can't bring himself to ask for help again, so he can only choose to fight to the death.
"Commander, the Japanese want to encircle and annihilate us. Otherwise, let Commander Gu evacuate. It's still not too late. If we can't hold on and our retreat is cut off, Commander Gu will be in danger."
Zhang Shuo said anxiously that the Japanese had divided their forces and the number of heavy machine guns was simply not enough.
If the threat of heavy machine guns was gone, the Japanese soldiers would be able to kill them quickly. In a close combat, they would be at a disadvantage because they would be in a dominant position.
"Hit first, and then contact Changfeng for evacuation in an emergency."
Ji Hongru knew some of Gu Changfeng's plans, so he had reason to cooperate.
In this situation, whether he can become famous again depends on Gu Changfeng.
"Okay, then I will be responsible for the Japanese in the west. We can't let the Japanese have an easy time." Seeing that the commander said so, Zhang Shuo could only grit his teeth and agree.
"You go and try to delay time. The second battalion will go to the south." Ji Hongru said.
"These little Japs are really generous. If there weren't some Japs on the division commander's side, I would really keep these cavalrymen. They are all top-notch horses."
Ji Hongru grumbled to himself, and was envious of the short-legged horses of the Japanese soldiers.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
A lieutenant captain of the Japanese army rode on a tall horse, holding a command knife and shouting the order to charge.
With a height of more than 1 meters and sitting on a horse of nearly 5 meters, he gives people a very funny feeling.
The Japanese lieutenant didn't think anything of it, but rather felt a little smug.
Ji Hongru, who was holding a telescope, saw the devil's expression and couldn't help but say, "Someone with good marksmanship, come and shoot that short guy with the command knife."
"Yes, Commander, leave it to me."
Immediately a soldier shouted loudly.
After the regiment's annihilation battle, the 301st Regiment rested for two days. Their morale was high, and even when facing the Japanese cavalry regiment, they had no fear at all.
