clap clap clap...

The Japanese's Type 38 rifles, Type 99 light machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns, etc. opened fire one after another.

The dense firepower network caused heavy casualties among the soldiers on the charge.

Although the three-three tactic was adopted, casualties were reduced to a great extent.

However, facing such fierce resistance from the Japanese army, the soldiers of the first and second companies had to pay a heavy price and make sacrifices for every step forward.

In desperation, the first and second companies retreated again.

However, this did not mean they gave up the attack. After a slight adjustment, the first and second companies charged forward again.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

The charging soldiers opened fire with all kinds of weapons, including Type 1 rifles, Springfield rifles, M134 Garand rifles, M Gatling heavy machine guns, Type light machine guns, etc.

The M134 Gatling heavy machine gun and Type heavy machine gun continuously provided fire cover.

Ta da da da...

clap clap clap...

In terms of firepower, the soldiers of the attacking independent battalion were no less capable than those of the Japanese.

So in this situation, even with trenches and fortifications serving as cover, the Second Division suffered heavy casualties.

Puff puff...

The Japanese soldiers were constantly hit by bullets and died one after another.

When one Japanese soldier falls, another one will take his place.

The fighting between the two sides was very fierce.

"Kill Jiji! Heavy machine gun, open fire!"

A major Japanese officer was in the trench directing the battle with a command knife in his hand.

but.

next second!

bang...

Phew...

Accompanied by a burst of gunfire, the major was sniped and killed.

It was the Ghost Squad that sniped him.

During the battle, the snipers of the Ghost Team were always looking for opportunities to snipe, constantly sniping Japanese officers, heavy machine gunners, etc. in the trenches of the positions.

Although the Ghost Team currently has only 30 people, it cannot determine the victory of the entire battle.

But the presence of snipers puts a lot of psychological pressure on the Japanese, and that is enough.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Da da da......

The battle is fierce!

The repeated attacks by the first and second companies were repelled, and casualties continued to increase.

War is cruel.

There is simply no way to avoid it.

The casualties of the Japanese Second Division were also rising rapidly.

At the attack position, Su Zheng used a telescope to observe the battle situation ahead, frowning slightly and said: "It seems that this Second Division still has some combat effectiveness!"

The independent battalion has grown to a strength of more than 10,000 troops in the Xinzhongcun base and has encountered many Japanese combat units.

From the initial battle with the Japanese small team, to the Yamazaki Battalion in Lijiaopo, and then to the 4th Brigade, 9th Brigade and so on, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger.

However, the strongest Japanese force we have encountered so far still belongs to the Second Division.

The 2nd Division was a Type A combat division of the Japanese Army and also the elite ace unit of the Kwantung Army, so its combat effectiveness was naturally not bad.

This was also the reason why the independent battalion suffered heavy casualties.

Zhou Weiguo, who was standing next to him, was also observing the battle situation in front of him through a telescope. He said solemnly, "Captain, this one is not going to be easy!"

Zhao Donghai: "Yes, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Second Division is still very strong, but our independent battalion has never been afraid!"

Zhou Weiguo said, "Captain, let us go up and ensure that we take down the first line of defense of the Second Division."

Su Zheng put down the telescope and said slowly: "Don't worry...wait a little longer! Now is not the time yet."

Almost two hours have passed since the fight started at six o'clock, but it is not yet time to launch the final offensive.

Wait!

Wait until the best time.

The battle in Ping'an County was in full swing, and the entire northwest Shanxi was also not idle.

Following Su Zheng's attack on Ping'an County, the Eighth Route Army, Central Army, Shanxi Suiyuan Army and other combat units in the entire northwest of Shanxi were mobilized one after another.

This was Su Zheng's highlight moment. He was even more powerful than the Eighth Route Army commander, and he mobilized the entire anti-Japanese forces in northwest Shanxi to serve him...

The battle for Ping'an County began.

After receiving orders from Yoshio Shinozuka, the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops rushed to reinforce Ping'an County.

However, other battalions of the New 1st Regiment had already made relevant deployments to block the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops nearby.

Small temple.

The battalion led by Zhang Dabiao was responsible for blocking the reinforcements here.

On the mountain road.

A group of more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops were fighting fiercely with Zhang Dabiao's battalion.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Rumble...

The soldiers were fighting fiercely.

They constantly blocked the Japanese and puppet troops who wanted to reinforce Ping'an County.

Puff puff......

The casualties of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment and the Japanese and puppet troops were also rising continuously.

Zhang Dabiao raised his arm and shouted, "Hit them hard, don't let any of them go."

The soldiers were fighting bloody battles to block the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Phew...

At this moment, the machine gunner next to Zhang Dabiao was hit by a bullet and died instantly.

Without saying a word, Zhang Dabiao took the light machine gun and continued to shoot fiercely at the Japanese soldiers on the mountain road below.

Da da da......

"Go to hell, you little devil!"

They continued to shoot and kill the Japanese and puppet troops on the mountain road.

The battle was very fierce.

At the same time, the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion, and other units of the New First Regiment had already engaged in combat with the Japanese and puppet troops that came to reinforce them.

In order to reinforce Ping'an County as quickly as possible, Yoshio Shinozuka ordered the Japanese and puppet troops in towns near Ping'an County to provide reinforcements first.

When Su Zheng and Li Yunlong were formulating the battle plan, they anticipated that the nearby Japanese and puppet troops would come to reinforce, so they deployed the first, second and third battalions in advance to the route that the nearby reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops must take.

Heyanggou.

The Second Battalion was responsible for blocking the Japanese and puppet troops that were reinforcing Shuiquan County.

The Japanese army had a force of about a thousand people.

This puts a lot of pressure on the Second Battalion.

However, the Second Battalion has already gathered nearby local troops, and district squads, county brigades, etc. have all joined the battle.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Da da da......

The battle in the entire Heyanggou was extremely fierce.

Bullets flying everywhere!

Bullets are flying!

Shen Quan lay on the ambush position, continuously firing fiercely at the Japanese soldiers, and shouted: "No one is allowed to let a single Japanese soldier go, shoot!"

"Hold on for seven days. This is the combat objective of our Second Battalion. Beat up those damn Japanese devils!"

The soldiers of the Second Battalion and the local armed militia were also blocking these Japanese devils.

In order to reinforce Ping'an County as quickly as possible, the Japanese also used mortars.

dong dong dong...

swish swish...  

Rumble...

Shells fell on the positions of the Second Battalion, and many soldiers were hit by the shells and died heroically.

However, the soldiers still held their battle posts and continued to block the Japanese army group.

Local armed forces, such as county brigades, district squads, etc., suffered greater casualties due to their backward equipment and low military literacy.

But the local troops did not retreat.

There was fierce fighting in Heyanggou.

Qilipu.

The Third Battalion, led by Wang Huaibao, also engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese and puppet troops that had come to reinforce from nearby.

Because Qilipu did not have any favorable terrain, the Third Battalion directly built fortifications and trenches, and engaged in a head-on battle with the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops.

clap clap clap...

Da da da......

Rumble...

The entire Qilipu was filled with gunfire and flying shells.

The sounds of explosions and gunfire came one after another like firecrackers.

The fighting was fierce.

The equipment of the Third Battalion is quite good.

However, facing the attack of more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, the pressure was still very great.

After several hours of fighting, the Third Battalion had repelled six attacks by this group of Japanese and puppet troops.

Shen Quan was commanding at the front line: "Soldiers, when the Japanese come, the light and heavy machine guns will fire at my command."

"Mortar troops... fire only when I tell you to fire later!"
