Since it is the first line of defense, the independent brigade attaches great importance to it. After careful consideration, the brigade headquarters decided to transfer Zhou Qiang's strongest second battalion to Luotuo Liang.
Second Battalion Commander Du Xinyuan is also an experienced martial artist. He is 35 years old this year and has served in the army for 20 years. He joined the Sichuan Army with his uncle when he was 15 years old. He worked under Yang Sen for several years and then joined Liu Xiang. .
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Xinyuan followed the troops out of Sichuan to fight the war and fought in most of China, from the Songhu battlefield to Shanxi and then to Shandong. In the end, the troops were dispersed and he became a straggler. Finally, he was recruited by Li Guoyao's troops in Henan.
In 1939, he followed the remaining soldiers from Henan back to Shandong. After serving as a company platoon leader for two years, he served as the deputy battalion commander of the first regiment and first battalion when the independent brigade was formed. Last year, he was promoted to the commander of the second battalion.
The 35-year-old battalion commander is definitely overage in the Jiujiu Army, because most of the officers in this unit are not very old, including Li Guoyao, Zhang Tengjiao, Lu Dashan, Gao Hu and others are all in their twenties. Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng and others are slightly older, but they have only just turned thirty years old, so it is extremely rare in the entire army to need such a battalion commander with twenty years of military experience.
But his age and long military experience are not disadvantages. Because of his rich combat experience, he is highly valued by the senior leaders of the independent brigade.
And he did not disappoint Zhang Shaolin and others. In less than half a year after taking office, he built the Second Battalion of the First Regiment into the strongest infantry battalion in the entire independent brigade.
When the brigade headquarters was considering the selection of Luotuo Liang garrison troops, Zhang Shaolin and Wu Dajun immediately thought of Du Xinyuan's Second Battalion.
After receiving the order from the brigade headquarters, Du Xinyuan immediately rushed to Luotuo Liang with more than 600 people under his command.
When they entered Luotuoliang, they found that although a lot of fortifications had been built, they were all simple trenches, and they didn't even have time to build anti-cannon holes.
At the moment, Du Xinyuan immediately ordered the troops to rebuild the fortifications, but before the fortifications here were repaired, the leading Japanese troops had already arrived.
Luotuo Liang, the second battalion command post.
"Report to the battalion commander, the Japanese army is here and is organizing an attack!"
"Call Hammer, I know! I'm so fast, my little devil is so fast, several hours earlier than I expected. It seems that the quality of these guys is not low!" Du Xinyuan said solemnly.
¡°Battal Commander, what should we do? Should we let all the brothers enter the fortification?¡±
"Why are you panicking? There are so many little devils?"
"There are less than 2,000 people in the vanguard, most of them are puppet troops, with cavalry in the lead and infantry behind!" the correspondent replied.
"There are only 2,000 people in a hurry. Let the first company enter the fortifications and the other troops withdraw to the second line to rest!"
"Have a rest rest?"
"You heard me right, I just want to rest. I guess there must be more than just these little devils. These vanguards are all trash. The real battle is behind us. We have to keep our energy up."
"yes!"
"By the way, tell the first company commander to be extremely careful about the Japanese bombardment, and then distribute gas masks to every soldier immediately."
"yes!"
Just as Du Xinyuan and others were setting up, outside Luotuo Liang, a Japanese and puppet army of more than 2,000 people arrived at the periphery of the battlefield.
The person commanding this unit is Shinji Sasaki of the 1st Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry Regiment, with the rank of Major, who serves as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard unit.
Although in name he only commands the more than 400 cavalry under his command, in fact the puppet cavalry regiment and infantry regiment are also under his control.
It was the first time that he commanded so many troops in battle. Sasaki was still a little excited. When he learned that there was a fortification built by the army in front of him, Sasaki felt happy. He couldn't wait to command the army to flatten it. The opponent's trenches cut off the opponent's commander's head.
After a brief investigation, Sasaki ordered his puppet troops to line up and prepare to attack!
"Reporting to the commander: The 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion of the 9th Group of the Imperial Association Army are ready for battle and are waiting for your orders at any time!" Japanese Army Advisor Lieutenant Yamada reported.
"Yoshi, order your troops to launch an attack immediately, and also order the Second Squadron of the Rapid-Fire Artillery Artillery to provide artillery support!" Major Sasaki gave the order to attack.
"Hai!"
"Boom boom boom"
The Japanese army's shelling began as usual. Several mortars fired at the Luotuo Liang garrison position at the same time. Suddenly, the Chinese garrison position turned into a sea of ??flames.
Fortunately, the defenders are there??The puppet troops had already dug anti-gun holes before arriving, and the little devils now only carried small-caliber mortars, so they did not pose a great threat to the defenders.
After the bombardment, there was an infantry charge. Due to the urgent military situation and the fact that most of his troops were from the Imperial Alliance Army, Major Sasaki did not care about the casualties of the troops and invested a battalion of troops as soon as they came up.
Following Sasaki¡¯s order, more than 300 puppet troops, under the command of more than a dozen Japanese advisers, launched a charge towards the garrison position!
¡°Hurricane¡¡±
Seeing the Japanese infantry launching a charge, the observation post on the position blew a whistle, and for a while, a sharp whistle sounded from the Second Battalion's position.
Hearing the whistle, the soldiers knew that the Japanese and puppet infantry were coming, and hurriedly got up from the trenches to prepare for battle.
When all the soldiers entered combat positions, the puppet infantry also entered an effective firing range of two hundred meters!
At that moment, the first company commander Xu Haisheng decisively pulled the trigger!
There was a crisp "bang" sound, and a puppet soldier walking in front carrying a Japanese flag was directly shot in the head!
At the same time, Xu Haisheng shouted loudly: "Hit them all, hard!"
Following Xu Haisheng¡¯s order, all the light and heavy machine guns on the defender¡¯s position opened fire, and there was loud gunfire for a while.
"Da da da"
The moment the machine gun fired, the puppet troops rushing in front fell to the ground one after another, like wheat being cut down.
When the puppet troops heard the gunfire, they immediately stopped charging, fell to the ground and started to counterattack.
Different from the puppet armies in Shandong and other places, the puppet armies in Hebei are all the puppet North China Security Forces affiliated to Qi Xieyuan. This army is more brutal than other puppet armies because this army has specially trained puppet army officers. In schools, soldiers must be brainwashed after joining the army. All in all, they still have some combat effectiveness.
It¡¯s just that they met their opponents today. Due to the steep Luotuo Liang Mountain, the national army was defensive and the Japanese army had to feign an attack if they wanted to attack. This was quite disadvantageous for the Japanese and puppet troops below.
Therefore, the attack only lasted less than ten minutes before stopping. Of the more than 300 men sent by Sasaki, less than 100 were finally withdrawn, and two-thirds of the troops remained at the forward position.
Although the casualties were not small, Major Sasaki didn't care, because the casualties were all puppet soldiers. In his opinion, this was just dog eating dog, the dead were all Chinese, and he didn't care how many died.
?????????????????? And the deaths of the Imperial Alliance Army just now are not without value. At least through their attack, Sasaki and others have figured out the location of the firepower points of the national army¡¯s garrison.
At this moment, no matter what, I immediately ordered the artillery brigade to open fire immediately, and immediately knocked out the several firepower points on the defender's position.
At the same time, Sasaki once again ordered the troops to organize an attack. He wanted to take down this camel beam in one go. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
