    The Third Battalion used an ambush to annihilate a Japanese squadron and bypass the Japanese defense line, forcing Major Saigo to order the outpost Japanese troops to withdraw to the second line of defense.  **()

    Commander Han Yuchen decisively led the first and second battalions to pursue the Japanese army. The Japanese army had just withdrawn to the second line of defense. Before they could stabilize their position, they were rushed by the pursuing Korean regiment, which broke a hole in the Japanese defense line.  .

    A small village 30 miles away from Da Nang. This is the only way to Da Nang. The road passes outside the village. The third battalion annihilated a Japanese squadron and immediately occupied the village and established a position.

    After receiving the report from the Third Battalion, Commander Han immediately moved closer to the village occupied by the Third Battalion. Since the main force of the army was still on the way from Hue to Da Nang, Commander Han went deep alone, so it was of little significance to attack Da Nang alone.  His plan was to hold on to the small village of Lu Liutian and maintain his offensive posture against Da Nang.

    Major General Shang Zhi of the Japanese Military Department learned that a regiment of Chinese troops actually broke through the defense line in the Mong Son Mountains and arrived at the outskirts of Da Nang.  The major general was furious. Major Xixiang of the 133rd Battalion was killed in action. There was nowhere to vent his anger.

    The angry major general regarded Han Yuchentuan as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.  Major General Hattori Hisashi strictly ordered the remnants of the 133rd Battalion, led by deputy captain Gao Sanlido, to surround Luliutian Village from the west.

    ?? **The 134th Battalion, under the command of Major Zhitian Shanxing, attacked from Da Nang and outflanked the east of Lu Liutian Village.  The two brigades are under the unified command of Major Ueda Yamayuki, and this Chinese team must be wiped out.

    Captain Gao Sang gathered the remaining soldiers and counted the number of soldiers. There were still more than 700 people.  Rush to the west of Luliutian Village.  Major Ueda attacked from Da Nang.  Outflank the east side of Luliutian Village.

    After the whole regiment occupied Luliutian Village, Commander Han Yuchen urgently called the military headquarters and asked the main force to speed up the march. One of his regiments seized the commanding heights outside the village and built fortifications in the village to prepare to hold on.

    The road in front of the village is only 50 meters away from the village. The Chinese team started laying landmines on the road 400 meters away from the village entrance.  A trench was dug around the village entrance, only 20 meters away from the road.  The trenches were defended by two companies of the 2nd Battalion, and the third company of the 2nd Battalion was placed in the village.  Be a reserve team.  On a small hill behind the village, Captain Han built an artillery position here. On the waist of the hill, a battalion set up a position here.

    A camp is placed in the village.  Relying on the defense of the houses in the village, the heavy machine guns of the machine gun company are deployed on several high slopes in the village.  Han Tuan Chang ordered the translator to gather all the Vietnamese people in the village, publicize the policies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and persuade all the Vietnamese in the village to leave the village to avoid the devastation of the war.  {http:

    After finishing all this, the position of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was almost completed. Commander Han hurriedly inspected the position.  More than 700 people from the 133rd Battalion of the Japanese Army arrived in the west of the village. Under the command of Captain Gao Sang, they quickly built an offensive position.

    Gao Sang gathered the eight heavy machine guns in his hands.  Divided into four firepower points, they serve as fire cover and suppression tasks.  Two infantry guns are responsible for the task of clearing the squadron's firepower points at fixed points.

    After completing the preparations, the Japanese Gaosang Brigade began to attack the small village.  An infantry squad on the front quickly charged towards the ** position, and a squad on each side made a detour toward the ** position.

    On the Japanese position, eight heavy machine guns spit out tongues of fire, and the slender tongues of fire licked and burned the Japanese position dexterously.  **The western part of the trench is guarded by the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Company, and the company commander gave the order.  The three heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns on the position began to spit out flames ferociously.

    The heavy machine guns of the ** machine gun position also fired violently at the Japanese attack position. The long tongues of flames flickered with flames, and the dense bullets formed a thick barrage, shrouding the Japanese.

    The Japanese infantry artillery aimed at the heavy machine gun fire points in the trenches.  "Ping Pong" fired two rapid fires in a row to kill two heavy machine gun fire points.  **Artillery position.  The observers immediately calculated the artillery position based on the impact point of the Japanese artillery shells, and 12 mortars concentrated fire at once.  "Bang, bang, bang," four 125-weight mortar shells and eight 82-weight mortar shells roared and landed on the Japanese artillery position.

    Amidst the roar, the Japanese artillery position was engulfed in smoke and dust, and the dense shells accurately covered the two infantry guns.  The shrapnel from the explosion killed the Japanese artillerymen in pieces, and the infantry artillery was also blown into roasted chicken wings and twisted out of shape.

    **The ** artillery fired in three rounds, and 36 shells accurately hit the Japanese artillery position. More than 30 people were killed in the Japanese artillery.  An artillery squad was almost wiped out.  In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army's artillery superiority over the Chinese Army no longer existed.

    Without artillery support, it is difficult for the Japs to be effective relying only on heavy machine gun firepower.  Under the suppression of more than a dozen Japanese heavy machine guns, the Japanese 92 heavy machine guns suddenly lost their right to speak.

    Three Japanese squads launched an attack on the Japanese position, 30 meters away from the trench. The Japanese light machine guns and submachine guns opened fire violently. The intensive firepower weaved a barrage in front of the position, beating the Japanese soldiers to their knees.  The three teams immediately retreated.

      When the Japanese soldiers who had just retreated received the news that Major Ueda's troops had arrived to the east of the village, they felt like a shot in the arm and plucked up the courage to launch another attack.  The arrogant Major Ueda did not even build an attack position, but immediately commanded a squadron to attack.

    The Ueda brigade had just approached the small village. Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the highway, and the body of a Japanese soldier was pushed into the air by the blast of air. A bloody thigh drew an arc in the air and landed on the highway.  The little devils who were so frightened that they formed a fighting formation fell to the ground with a crash.

    Major Ueda frowned, "What's going on?"

    "Report, Your Majesty Major, there are landmines planted by the Chinese on the road ahead, and a soldier accidentally stepped on the mine." A staff officer reported to the major what had just happened.

    Major Ueda had a bad start, and he was very angry. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Baga! Despicable Chinese!"

    When we came out this time, the Ueda brigade was not equipped with engineers, so we had no choice but to order a few veterans to come out to take charge of engineering duties and clearing mines.  Without saying a word, the veterans took off their ammunition and guns, leaving only a dagger.  Then he slowly moved forward, carefully testing the ground under his feet.

    The remaining Japanese soldiers formed a single column on the roadside. Once a road was cleared, the Japanese soldiers would attack and advance in single file.

    Those Japanese veterans who were clearing mines were very experienced. They stepped on the ground carefully. One veteran suddenly felt his feet loosen. He immediately stood still and slowly squatted down. A veteran behind him quickly came over to help.

    They carefully peeled away the top layer of soil on the ground to reveal the mines. The veteran who helped used the bayonet to penetrate the feet of the Japanese who were stepping on the mines, pressed the bayonet tightly, and the Japanese who stepped on the mines slowly retracted their feet.  Then he raised the mine body and carefully stood up with the Japanese holding the bayonet. The two held the mine and walked towards the rice fields next to them.

    The Japanese soldiers behind quickly fell to the ground, and the two Japanese soldiers threw out the mines with force at the same time. There was a loud "boom" and the muddy water in the rice fields was splashed several meters high.

    The Japs in the east are still clearing mines, and the police at the entrance of the village have been prepared. They stare closely ahead in the trenches, pointing their submachine guns at the Japs soldiers who appear at any time.

    At the cost of the lives of several veterans, the little devil finally cleared a road that only one person could pass.  The Japanese soldiers formed a single column and ran towards the village.  Full of rage, Major Ueda did not even establish an attack position, but drove the soldiers to attack.

    The gunmen in the east waited for the Japanese soldiers to enter 30 meters before suddenly opening fire. The light and heavy machine guns spit out tongues of fire happily, beating the Japanese soldiers to their heart's content.  The charging Japanese soldiers were immediately knocked down by a barrage of bullets.

    The Japanese soldiers in the west were not willing to lag behind. After the Japanese soldiers in the east launched their attack, Captain Gao Sang commanded the soldiers to launch continuous attacks.

    Fierce gunfire rang out around the small village, and two companies of the 2nd Battalion fought bloody battles with the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.  The artillerymen on the high ground behind the village aimed their mortars at the assembled Japanese crowd at the right time.

    "Boom boom" mortar shells continued to fall on the Japs crowd, and the exploding shrapnel rolled up a pool of flesh and blood.  The charging Japanese soldiers were immediately beaten into chaos, and the skirmishers were continuously fired by machine guns from the enemy positions.  Tongues of fire repeatedly licked and burned the Japanese soldiers, and bullets hit the ground and smoked.

    The Japanese soldiers lacked artillery cover, and their heavy machine gun fire was counter-suppressed by Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns. They repelled several Japanese attacks in succession and suffered continuous casualties, forcing Major Ueda to stop the attack and discuss adjusting the offensive strategy.

    The Japanese Army Major Ueda gathered the officers of the two brigades and held a military meeting.  The officers present at the meeting unanimously reported that the artillery firepower of the Chinese ** team was powerful and there were a large number of heavy machine guns. The storm would cause great damage to the Japanese army.  It is recommended to conduct a sneak attack at night.

    Major Ueda carefully studied the infantry attack in front. He also believed that it was not suitable for a strong attack during the day, so he unanimously agreed and decided that at night, the Japanese troops on the east and west sides would launch night attacks at the same time. Each squadron would be deployed to attack Japan at 2 a.m. that night.  .

    The cunning Major Ueda even specially dispatched a squadron from his own brigade to suddenly attack the hills behind the village at the beginning of the two squadrons' sneak attack on Luliutian Village.  Seize this coveted commanding height in one fell swoop.

    The Japanese troops who stopped attacking immediately established a position on the spot, assuming a posture of fighting to the bitter end with the Chinese troops.  **The 133rd Brigade dispatched the 3rd Infantry Squadron, which has the most abundant soldiers and the most powerful combat effectiveness, to conduct night attacks.  **The 134th Battalion dispatched the 1st Squadron to conduct a night attack.

    The Japanese officers and soldiers of the three squadrons who were assigned to carry out night raids took the time to replenish their ammunition, equip themselves with weapons, and then have a good sleep.

    Commander Han Yuchen was very happy when the Japanese army stopped attacking, "***, the little devil only has these three axes, and the Guizhou donkey is exhausted." Suddenly, Captain Han remembered that something was wrong. When would the little devil be willing to suffer losses?  ???It doesn't match the little devil's fighting style.  Suddenly he realized that the kid probably wanted to attack him at night.  (To be continued)
