    Major Hojo, who received a heavy slap in the face and his face was swollen but did not dare to cover it, and was even called a pig by Colonel Shoji Tatsumi, was actually suffering.  ¡¾.,Although the opponent's defense force is not large, the attack front is narrow, which limits the number of troops invested at one time.  It was said that the attack was launched in the form of a squadron, but in fact only one squad could be placed in front.

    ¡°The opponent was extremely cunning and only opened fire after knowing that the attacking troops were within fifty meters.  The opponents were equipped with a large number of close-combat automatic firearms, coupled with grenades, which caused the Japanese army, which was only equipped with single-shot rifles, to suffer great losses in close combat.  The two heavy machine guns deployed at the back cooperated with the five light machine guns on the front line, forming cross fire and dividing the follow-up troops.

    The opponent's two mortars also suppressed the grenadiers and light and heavy machine guns.  Half an hour later, the Third Battalion had lost more than a dozen grenadiers and one-third of its light and heavy machine guns under the opponent's accurate and tricky mortar fire.

    And the two Type 92 infantry guns of the brigade artillery squad were unable to deal with the two mortars because the opponent frequently changed positions, almost changing positions with one shot.  Not to mention the two Type 92 infantry guns of the brigade's artillery squad, even several covering shots from the division's artillery could not knock out these two extremely threatening mortars.

    Although half an hour of fierce fighting finally knocked out one of the opponent's heavy machine guns, two of the three squadrons of the first batch of attacking squadrons were disabled by the opponent's dense rain of grenades and accurate light machine gun fire.  Almost all the light and heavy machine guns of the 1st Squadron were lost.

    Major Hojo, whose face was swollen from being slapped, felt miserable and could only step up the offensive.  Even in order to suppress the opponent's machine gun firepower and find opportunities to knock out those two hateful mortars, the two Type 92 infantry cannons of the brigade's artillery squad were pushed to a place less than 500 meters away from the enemy's fortifications and used as flat-firing cannons.  use.

    In addition to strengthening the offensive and firepower, the Hojo Compensation Division Major also adjusted his tactics.  Although Colonel Shoji Tatsumi only gave him half an hour, he still adjusted his previous tactics.  A change from the previous tactics of punching and rushing, which can even be described as a rampage.

    Instead, push forward inch by inch and run quickly in small steps.  Supplemented by each rifle group of the team, multi-directional infiltration tactics were adopted.  Major Hojo made up his mind that even if his new offensive was still repelled, he would still leave some nails within the opponent's so-called fifty-meter fire strike line.

    At the same time, the light and heavy machine guns of the entire brigade were concentrated, relying on numerical superiority to implement fire suppression on the enemy's defensive positions.  The cover grenade launcher deployed and knocked out the light and heavy machine guns that posed a great threat to the enemy.  In Major Hojo's view, as long as he can knock out the opponent's light and heavy machine guns, the Kong family shack will fall into his arms like a ripe fruit in the next battle.

    Because he didn¡¯t believe it, after losing the main supporting firepower.  With the opponent's rifles and their small force, can they still stop their own coordinated infantry and artillery offensive?  And in the eyes of Major Hojo, the combat quality of his men was much higher than that of the rebels on the opposite side.

    Major Hojo was miserable, but after half an hour of fierce fighting, the pressure on Gou Zaiquan opposite him was extremely high.  Although half an hour of fierce fighting failed to allow the Japanese troops to break through the front-line positions, a platoon on the defensive periphery also suffered casualties under the opponent's intensive artillery fire and extremely accurate rifle fire.

    Every time the Japanese attack was repelled, they always retaliated with covering fire with artillery fire.  During the exchange of fire, the accurate shooting skills of the Japanese infantry also caused considerable casualties to the troops.  If you don't put only one platoon of troops on the periphery, no matter how fierce the battle is, it will only be a supplement to the front-line troops one squad at a time.  According to the intensity of the Japanese army's attack, I am afraid that there will only be a few people left in the company I have at hand.

    Although he also knew that this refueling tactic was harmful to the development of the entire war situation, Gou Zaiquan, who only had one reinforcement company on hand and had no retreat, could only do this and add the troops on hand to the front bit by bit.  His purpose of doing this is simply to gain the longest time and buy time for the main force to develop later.

    There is a fierce battle on the front line of the Kong family's shack, and there is also a fierce battle on the front line of the Sui family's shack on his right, across the Zhongchang Railway.  It's just that they are facing the remnants of the 14th Regiment there, so the pressure is much less than here.  It's not that Gou Zaiquan didn't want to put Japanese troops into the village to fight in the streets.

    When entering street fighting, you can take advantage of the close distance between the enemy and ourselves to render Japanese artillery useless.  At least it won't be like now, with fire coverage coming at every turn.  Not only can it greatly reduce the probability of troops being killed by Japanese artillery fire, but you can also use the large number of automatic firearms you have on hand to effectively kill Japanese troops on a large scale.

    But in his opinion, it¡¯s not the time for street fighting yet.  The village is not big, and we are outnumbered and outnumbered.  Once you enter the street fighting,This position can easily be completely divided by the Japanese army, and there is a danger of defeating each one.  He has too few troops on hand, so he cannot easily fight the street fighting until it reaches its most dangerous stage.

    Gou Zaiquan was not a cadre promoted from the front-line company platoon leader, but was sent to the grassroots unit from the former fifth brigade combat staff. He was originally planning to train as the deputy battalion commander for a few months and then be transferred to the newly formed unit as the battalion commander.  Because he was a combat staff officer, he considered many things in detail. From the terrain to the comparison of the enemy's and our own forces, he could not say that he was watertight, but he was definitely much more meticulous than ordinary cadres.

    Although the Japanese army adjusted their tactics, they faced increasing pressure from the front. Even the company commander Li Zhaoshou and the instructor Liu Zhizhi, the two company commanders, rushed forward several times to bayonet.  But Gou Zaiquan still held a platoon of reserve troops tightly in his hands and did not move.

    But after receiving the report of Li Zhaoshou's sacrifice, Gou Zaiquan hesitated, and finally made the decision he least wanted to make.  Withdraw the remaining troops from the front line and enter the village to prepare for street fighting.  Making this determination is probably the most difficult decision Gou Zaiquan has made since joining the army.  But right now, he has no choice.

    After an hour of fierce fighting, except for one platoon under his control, the entire company has been disabled.  Company commander Li Zhaoshou died and instructor Liu Zhizhi was seriously injured.  All two heavy machine guns were lost, and two-thirds of the light machine guns were lost.  Of the three platoons that were deployed to the front one after another, less than one platoon is now left.  Among them, one-third were slightly injured.

    With an already incomplete platoon, without its main fire cover, it would be impossible to hold on for twenty minutes if it tried to block the Japanese troops whose strength was several times that amount.  Once the entire platoon is wiped out, the last platoon left in his hands will not be able to reach the minimum time limit of two hours before he can reach the brigade to explain.

    After giving the order to abandon the outer positions, all the remaining troops retreated into the village to prepare for street fighting.  Gou Zaiquan hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the radio and service radio that was specially strengthened in the regiment to communicate directly with the brigade headquarters before departure. After calling the brigade headquarters, he went straight to the point: "Brigadier Commander, I am  Gou Zaiquan. Now the outer positions have been lost, and the Japanese army has broken into the village, with two-thirds of the troops killed."

    "All two heavy machine guns were lost, and two-thirds of the light machine guns were lost. The two 60 mortars ran out of shells and had to be demolished and buried. The entire Kong family shack has been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire and has almost been razed.  The ground is flat. Now our army can only rely on ruins to fight the Japanese. The most important thing is that after two hours of fierce fighting, we are in urgent need of ammunition, reinforcements, and especially grenades."

    "The Japanese army is now attacking in waves, and the offensive is extremely fierce. Our effective strength has been exhausted. If I cannot mobilize at least one company of reinforcements within half an hour, based on the strength we have on hand, it may be difficult to complete the transfer of the brigade headquarters.  It¡¯s a four- to six-hour defense mission.¡±

    Over there, Ma Fengqi heard Gou Zaiquan's report and the intensive sound of gunfire coming from the walkie-talkie. He immediately said without any hesitation: "Okay, within fifteen minutes I will give you another reinforced company and some additional ammunition. But  You must ensure that you hold on for two hours to ensure that the main force is deployed. "

    Ma Fengqi understands Gou Zaiquan¡¯s character.  He understood that unless it was the most critical moment, Gou Zaiquan's character would not directly ask for reinforcements so straightforwardly.  With the strength of a reinforced company, it is necessary to resist the attack of a Japanese regiment for four to six hours.  Although restricted by the terrain, the Japanese attack front was very narrow, but this was still an almost impossible task.

    Gou Zaiquan was able to delay the attack of a Japanese regiment under the cover of four squadrons of artillery and brigade artillery for two hours at the cost of a reinforced company's casualties. It was extremely commendable.  It was these two hours that Gou Zaiquan fought for that enabled the remaining two regiments of the Second Independent Brigade to arrive in the Shuangcheng City in time.  Although there was no time to set up defenses, the arrival of the main force still gave Ma Fengqi a lot of confidence.

    Therefore, Ma Fengqi readily agreed to Gou Zaiquan's request for reinforcements.  Putting down the phone in his hand, Ma Fengqi directly called Wang Deyao, the leader of the Thirteenth Regiment, who was organizing troops to build fortifications. He said directly without any hesitation: "Old Wang, you immediately call the two battalions deployed in Zhang Zheng's shack.  The company with the strongest combat effectiveness will be selected, and a reinforced platoon will be transferred from other companies to form a reinforced company to quickly reinforce the Kong family shack. "

    "Now I can only give you one more hour to complete the construction of the fortifications. The fighting at the Kong family shack was very hard, and the Japanese Army's 40th Regiment pressed forward with almost all its strength. With the strength of a reinforced company, they were able to  It is very rare to stop the Japanese 40th Regiment for two hours. "

    "Even ifReinforcement of a company may not last too long.  You must complete the construction of the fortifications and prepare for battle within an hour.  At the same time, you should pay close attention to the fighting situation in the Kong family shack.  Don¡¯t you have two captured No. 75 field guns of the 14th regiment, the regiment¡¯s 120mm heavy mortar battery, and the Type 92 infantry artillery battery?  "

    "Judging from the distance between Zhang Zheng's shack and the Kong family's shack, you can definitely provide partial artillery support to the Kong family's shack. Although it may not necessarily have any effect, it can at least reduce their pressure in disguised form. In this way,  I will transfer the 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion attached to the column to a company. You must make good use of artillery and use artillery fire as much as possible to provide fire support to the defenders of the Kong family shack. "
