"Damn it! I hunted geese all day long and was pecked blind by the geese. Even the little devil would do this."

Gao Jiu knew that he was careless, but he didn't expect that the Japanese would come so far to ambush him.

Gao Jiu raised his hand and fired a shot, killing a Japanese who was shooting. The special forces members opened fire together and quickly eliminated the attackers.

However, soon another Japanese shot came. This shot missed the person and hit the shield of the Type 92 infantry gun, causing a stream of sparks to pop up.

It turns out that the little Japs are not stupid, and they can also shoot and change places. However, Gao Jiu was quick and shot immediately, killing the sneak attack Japs.

The two nearby groups of Japs must have been killed. Gao Jiu began to search around, and soon he discovered that there were a lot of little Japs in the night, a group in the east and a group in the west, nearby.

Within a radius of about one mile, you can see seven or eight waves. Each group of Japs has a small number of people, about four or five.

Gao Jiu realized the danger and hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat.

It is easy for the team members to retreat. They can just mount their horses and run. However, the Type 92 infantry gun has been set up, so it will take some time to mount it with horses.

Gao Jiu ran over directly, pulled up the rope on the Type 92 infantry cannon, thought he was Thomas, and ran away pulling the cannon.

When the team members saw Gao Jiu in such a hurry, they all knew there was danger and left quickly.

Gao Jiu's judgment was correct. Less than half a minute after the team members left, the Japs' mortar shells came over and landed near where they were just now.

Gao Jiu and others ran about 500 meters and stopped.

In the night, except for Gao Jiu, the other special forces members and Wang Zhankui and others could not see the Japanese, and the Japanese could not see Gao Jiu and others. The field became quiet again.

Gao Jiu used a telescope this time and observed carefully. He found that within a few kilometers in front, there were Japs everywhere. Each group of Japs was about a hundred meters apart, and there were hundreds of people who could be seen.

Gao Jiu saw three groups of Japs walking in this direction.

Gao Jiu originally wanted to train the special forces members' night fighting abilities and divide them into several groups to deal with these attackers. But? There were too few people under his command? Every special forces member was a treasure, and he was reluctant to let them go.

adventure.

He said to Zhang Quan and Wang Zhankui: "You guys just stay here? Wait until I kill these Japs in front? Let's attack their positions again."

Gao Jiu took Ning Wu, Li Xiaoshan and Li Shengdong with him and walked forward.

The Japs are very proactive in fighting? Three combat groups searched in the direction where Gao Jiu and others were retreating.

Gao Jiu and others moved forward for more than a hundred meters, found a place with better terrain, and laid an ambush.

Soon after, a four-person Japs team approached Gao Jiu and others about 70 to 80 meters away. Gao Jiu threw a grenade at the Japs, killing three of them at once. The remaining Japs panicked? He fired blindly.

Shot with a gun? He was shot to death by Li Xiaoshan.

Li Xiaoshan opened fire and exposed the target, and immediately found a concealment to hide it. Another Japanese combat group was about 120 meters away from Gao Jiu and others. When they saw the light from Li Xiaoshan's muzzle, they fired towards it.

Ning Wu and Li Shengdong took the opportunity to shoot and killed two more Japanese.

After they fired, they didn't stay where they were? They immediately ran away from the shooting location.

The Japanese were very well prepared this time. When they saw Ning Wu and Li Shengdong shooting?

The place? The Japs came up empty again.

Gao Jiu saw the Japs shooting? He fired twice and killed two more Japs.

Gao Jiu saw that every single person in the Japs' second combat group was lying on the ground, so he simply shot him and killed this guy.

At this time, only one fighting group was left among the Japs who were following them. Gao Jiu quietly approached them and threw a grenade. After the grenade exploded, there were only two Japs left. These two guys could not see the attackers.

, frightened by such a terrifying battle, he ran away in the direction he came from.

Gao Jiu could see clearly that one of them must have been injured, and his movements were very clumsy, while the other one ran faster. Gao Jiu first shot the Japanese who was running in front. The remaining Japanese fell down in fear.

He was on the ground, not daring to move.

It's a pity that even so, he couldn't dodge Gao Jiu's bullet. Gao Jiu shot him with one shot, but because it was in the dark, the shot still didn't hit the enemy's vitals. The enemy moved twice, and then

He fired a shot in the direction of Gao Jiu.

When Li Shengdong saw the Japs firing back, he shot him. This time the Japs were completely dead.

After annihilating the three Jaap combat groups that were following them, Gao Jiu and others continued to move forward. Several people cooperated with each other and continuously annihilated the Jaap combat groups one by one.

Gao Jiu and others spent two full hours to defeat more than 20 Japanese combat groups and annihilate more than 140 Japanese soldiers. The area about one kilometer in radius finally became quiet.

Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui and others stayed where they were. It was not until Li Li Xiaoshan ran back to convey Gao Jiu's order that the troops approached the enemy's position again.

At two o'clock in the morning, the Japanese attack on the 187th Division began.

In order to ensure the success of this attack, brigade commander Aubaofu specially mobilized the Yamada Battalion, the main force of the 115th Regiment, to the east gate of the county, leaving only the remnants of Kondo's Battalion to conduct a feint attack at the north gate.

At this time, there were a total of 1,740 Japanese troops gathered at the north gate of the county. This was all the main force that the brigade commander Obov could use. In order to replenish their ammunition, Opov removed most of the ammunition from the engineering and artillery regiments.

.

Brigade commander Obaov pinned the success or failure of this battle on this night attack.

Before the attack was launched, he personally mobilized officers above the squadron commander level.

He said: "Brave warriors of the Japanese Empire, the brigade's supply line has been cut off by the enemy. If we cannot capture the enemy's position tonight and eliminate the enemies in front, the brigade will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

This battle is of vital importance, related to the honor of the entire brigade and the honor of the Imperial Japanese Army. For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, I hope you will fight bravely and resolutely destroy the enemy. Please!"

Since they had been notified in advance, the Japanese officers did not cheer loudly, but at the instigation of Obaofu, they still shouted in a low voice: "His Majesty the Emperor is on board, the Imperial Japanese Army is on board."

Seeing that the morale of the officers was good, Opov ordered the offensive to begin.

The Japanese did not prepare artillery fire in advance this time because they wanted to launch a sneak attack.

Facing the east gate of Zhiyuan County, the Japanese 150th Regiment was on the left and the 115th Regiment was on the right. Each deployed a squadron of troops and set off in advance.

This time, they planned to start crawling at a distance of about 100 meters from the enemy, hoping to catch the 187th Division of the National Army by surprise.

The Japanese soldiers crawled and crawled, and when they were about 50 meters away from the enemy's position, the Chinese soldiers did not notice any movement from the Japanese soldiers, and the position was very quiet.

The Japanese soldiers continued to crawl and crawl! When they reached a place 40 meters away from the national army position, they all stopped in unison.

They could clearly see that the broken glass on the ground in front of them shone coldly in the moonlight.

A Japanese squadron leader saw that the Japanese in front of him had stopped moving. He was very angry and crawled over himself. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of air.

It was already summer, and the Japs were wearing thin summer clothes. Trying to crawl over the broken glass on the ground gave me a toothache just thinking about it.

In order to prevent the national soldiers from seeing the reflection, the Japanese rifles were not equipped with bayonets. The Japanese squadron leader took a rifle from the hands of the soldiers nearby and tried to use the barrel to fiddle with the glass particles.

There are too many glass particles, and most of them are thrown from a distance. Under the action of gravity, many of them are embedded in the soil, and it is difficult to shake them without exerting force.

The glass stubbles are of different sizes, and if you hit them hard, they will make a clanking sound when they collide with each other. The rifle is not a broom for sweeping the floor, so it is very inconvenient to fiddle with it. It is really difficult to remove the glass stubble on the ground.

Opov had been waiting for the Japanese troops in front to launch an attack. Seeing that there had been no movement in front, he was very angry and sent a messenger to inquire about the situation. At this time, the troops in front sent someone to report to him the embarrassing situation encountered by the leading troops.

.

Obaofu was so angry that he was scolded by Wang Jindong, but there was nothing he could do. He could only wait patiently for the troops in front to clear the obstacles and raid the enemy's position.

The Japanese specifically chose to attack at two o'clock in the morning, thinking that the officers and soldiers of the national army would be very lax at this time. Wang Jindong's troops changed shifts every two hours, and everyone was in high spirits at any time. They had been observing the forward positions.

There was a lot of movement, and not long after, a soldier noticed a figure moving in front of him, and reported it to the officer.

The company commander who shot at the prisoners of war last time is now the deputy battalion commander. After receiving the report, he looked forward hard, but he couldn't see clearly in the night. So he asked the soldiers to take out

The torches were already prepared. These torches were made by wrapping strips of cloth around wood, then sticking them into gasoline barrels and adding gasoline, lighting them and throwing them towards the forward position.

As the torches continued to fall on the front of the position, the whereabouts of the Japanese were exposed. With the company commander's order, the officers and soldiers in the trenches fired fiercely at the Japanese.

The Japanese also made plans before attacking. If they were discovered by the enemy, they would attack immediately.

When the Japanese squadron leader saw that their attempt was exposed, he immediately ordered the soldiers to charge forward. Due to the glass debris in front, they could no longer get closer to the enemy's position by crawling. They simply straightened up and charged forward quickly. It was a pity.

Yes, the distance of 50 meters is really too much.

Far away. At this distance, even if one shot is fired and the bolt is pulled once, it is enough for the soldiers of the national army to fire three shots, not to mention there are so many machine guns. There are torches everywhere on the ground, and the figures of the Japanese are very visible.

It was easy to identify, and the national soldiers fired bullets at the charging Japanese soldiers very effectively!

The Japs suffered heavy casualties, but they still charged forward.

Lieutenant Colonel Shigeho Yamamoto, commander of the 150th Infantry Regiment, who was in charge of commanding the attack at the front, saw that the battle had begun and directed the troops behind to launch a fierce attack.

The Japanese mortars were not prepared for artillery fire in advance this time. They were worried about accidentally injuring their own people and did not dare to directly bombard the first trench of the National Army with artillery fire. They extended the artillery fire and fired towards the rear of the National Army position, hoping that

It can prevent the reinforcements of the national army from moving forward.

Wang Jindong was also prepared, and their artillery fire also hit the area 80 meters to 200 meters ahead of the position, forming a fire blockade here.

Since the Japanese troops in front had already launched an attack, the large group of troops behind the Japanese could only charge desperately despite the enemy's artillery fire.

The Japanese mortar shells only hit within the range of the National Army's positions, but most of the National Army soldiers were in trenches or traffic trenches, and suffered very little damage.

The Japanese troops were completely exposed to the enemy's artillery fire, and suffered extremely heavy casualties.

One advantage of night fighting is that the attacking Japs are constantly falling down, but those who are alive cannot see clearly, and the psychological panic caused to them is relatively small. Those Japs who are alive are running forward desperately, getting closer and closer.

Coming closer and closer to the enemy's position.

Because it was night, the sky was dark. Although there were some torches to illuminate the situation, the visibility was still low. The Japanese's desperate charge finally had a certain effect. Many Japanese rushed to the vicinity of the trench and threw grenades forward.

Many of the Chinese soldiers in the trenches lost their lives in the explosion of grenades.

The Japanese army finally broke into the first trench, and the two sides started a desperate fight in the trench.
