Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Ji Hongru understood Gu Changfeng's meaning, nodded and went to make the arrangements.

Gu Changfeng began to issue combat orders.

With his firepower, he was not actually afraid of the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers behind him. He was mainly worried that the Japanese soldiers from Huxu would chase him, which would be troublesome.

However, he had no intention of engaging in a stalemate with the Japanese, so a short battle would be fine.

"Changfeng, the orders have been passed down. You decide how to fight."

Huang Zhengkui ran to Gu Changfeng happily and said.

"Just do it the same as before. Fire as hard as you can. If you run out of bullets and shells, I'll find more."

Gu Changfeng said proudly.

We don't plan to fight a long war this time, so the main focus is naturally to destroy the enemy's effective forces.

Huang Zhengkui liked Gu Changfeng's arrogance, so he went to inform the soldiers with a smile.

"Report to the Major, the Chinese ahead have stopped."

The Japanese cavalry was the first to notice the movement and reported it directly to Major Teraoka.

"Stop." Major Teraoka waved his hand, and the Japanese cavalry stopped where they were.

These Japanese soldiers were probably really scared. With so many of their companions dead, the remaining Japanese cavalrymen didn't want to chase them anymore.

Major Teraoka glanced ahead and gave an order to a Japanese soldier.

"You, go inform the 6th Division that the Chinese have stopped. I don't know what their purpose is."

He certainly couldn't lead the charge himself, so he could only let the 6th Division behind him go.

Upon receiving the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately turned their horses around and ran towards the Okamoto Regiment.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is only two or three miles, not far.

"General, the Chinese ahead have stopped and seem to be waiting for us to pass."

"Yoshi." After listening to the cavalryman's report, Okamoto Yasuyuki's anger immediately turned into joy.

This kind of pursuit made him very frustrated, and they couldn't bring out their advantages, which made him, the captain of the brigade, very annoyed.

He also concluded that the Chinese had run out of ammunition for their heavy artillery, so he had nothing to be afraid of.

Just over 1600 people against a thousand, the advantage is entirely his.

"Order the artillery squadron to provide artillery fire." Yasuyuki Okamoto gave the order directly.

He was still angry and didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to eliminate the enemy in front of him.

Soon, the Japanese artillery squadron began to prepare.

Yasuyuki Okamoto still used the old routine, with artillery bombardment and then infantry charge.

Of course, Gu Changfeng was not unprepared. He still had 16 mortars and was not panicking at all.

He was just waiting for the Japanese to take action first.

Not long after, the Japanese artillery squadron's shells whistled.

A violent roar resounded throughout the battlefield, and the soldiers under Gu Changfeng could only bury their heads in the ground as much as possible.

Without fortifications, these losses are inevitable, and Gu Changfeng is well aware of this.

"Quick, adjust the muzzle quickly and blast the hell out of him."

Lu Daya urged.

Every second of delay means the sacrifice of soldiers from each company, and the artillerymen of the artillery company are naturally aware of this.

Thirty seconds later, the artillerymen of the artillery company began to take action, and 16 shells whizzed towards the Japanese artillery position.

16 shells were enough to completely cover the Japanese artillery squadron, and the Japanese artillery squadron was immediately silenced.

After firing just a few rounds, the artillery of the Okamoto Regiment was destroyed.

"Bakayaloo, charge, charge, kill these Chinese!"

Yasuyuki Okamoto shouted angrily, but there was a shadow in his heart.

He didn't know if this decision was the right one, but now he couldn't turn back.

More than half of the entire regiment suffered casualties. If he could not eliminate these Chinese in front of him, his fate would not be much better when he returned.

After receiving the order, the captains of each Japanese squadron immediately led their soldiers to charge.

Gu Changfeng looked at the funny Japanese devils and couldn't help but sneer, and said to Zhao Ziqing beside him.

"Fifty heads per person, hurry up and evacuate immediately after killing them."

Zhao Ziqing nodded slightly, took the gun and began to aim, and then with a "bang", the bullet flew out of the gun.

With their marksmanship, killing the Japanese soldiers would not be a problem even in the dim night.

By the time the Japanese rushed to within a thousand meters, the two men had already killed four or five of them!

Rumble!

The rocket launcher platoon led by Li Jie began to attack.

There are not so many fancy things, it’s just that the distance to bully the Japanese is not that far.

800 meter

The heavy machine guns of each company began to call out names, and the casualties of the charging Japanese increased again.

The Okamoto Regiment, which had never fought against Gu Changfeng's troops, suffered a heavy loss this time.

More than a hundred Japanese soldiers fell on the way to charge.

However, the Japanese soldiers were still very brave. They shouted "Ban Zai" and charged towards the position set up by Gu Changfeng with great momentum.

500 meter

The remaining snipers and grenadiers from each company began to attack, and the Japanese casualties increased again.

By the time the Japanese reached their firing positions, nearly two squadrons had been crippled.

Rumble!

The battlefield killer artillery company began to bombard the Japanese in the rear. For a moment, the Japanese positions were in chaos, with people and horses falling and screams everywhere.

"Blow the charge and kill these devils for me." Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Changfeng directly gave the order for a counter-charge.

As the charge sounded, the machine gunners from each company rushed out first.

Da da da.

The dense firepower network caused heavy casualties among the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield!

Mainly because their machine gunners and grenadiers had long been killed by snipers from various companies.

In addition, with the support of the rocket launcher platoon, the Japanese could not fully exert their strength.

Five minutes later, the Japanese soldiers became frightened and began to flee in panic.

Yasuyuki Okamoto, who was watching the battle from the rear, was dumbfounded. After only twenty minutes, his subordinates were beaten back!

Of course, he had been watching the battlefield and knew the problem.

They were completely suppressed and the soldiers had no choice but to retreat.

"Hurry up and pick up your weapons, let's retreat."

Seeing the Japanese fleeing, Huang Zhengkui shouted and started to take action himself.

Of course I had to pick up the Japanese Type 99 rifles and grenade launchers, but I had no interest in anything else.

Ji Hongru's subordinates, who hadn't taken much action, quickly ran to the battlefield to clean up, and they didn't pick and choose.

Grenades, Type 38 rifles, and bullets were all taken away.

"Report to Commander Gu, the Japanese have a large force coming to support them."

The scout who had been observing the direction of Huxiu ran up to Gu Changfeng and reported.

"Stop picking up things and evacuate quickly." Gu Changfeng ordered.

He didn't want to fight another battle. Facing more than a thousand Japanese devils was different from facing a few thousand.

If he continues to fight, all his wealth will be gone.

As his orders were issued, soldiers from each company began to evacuate in an orderly manner and continued to run.

By the time Akiyama Yoshiyuki arrived, Gu Changfeng and his group had already run three or four miles away.

After this battle, Okamoto Yasuyuki did not dare to pursue anymore and could only wait for Akiyama Yoshiyoshi there.

"Okamoto-kun, why don't you keep these Chinese?"

Akiyama Yoshiyuki questioned. He was very angry. He had finally arrived, but the person had actually run away!

"Hi!"

Yasuyuki Okamoto bowed first and then explained.

"General, these Chinese have powerful firepower. My warriors have been completely suppressed, and our artillery squadron has been destroyed."

"I can't continue this battle."

Such a loss made him think of retreating.

The two of them are not from the same division, so Akiyama Yoshiyoshi cannot force him to stay.

"Bakayaro, Okamoto-kun, are you planning to desert the battlefield?"

Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was furious and gave Okamoto a big slap, then ordered the soldiers behind him to continue chasing.

Okamoto Yasuyuki was slapped in the face, and his face looked very ugly. He looked at Akiyama Yoshiyuki with cold eyes and said lightly.

"General, we do not belong to the same division. You have no right to give me orders."

"Also, why are you so late? I need to have a serious talk with the division commander about this."

Okamoto's reasons were so convincing that Akiyama Yoshiyoshi was speechless for a moment.

In fact, he himself knew that if he had not been trapped, the Okamoto United would not have been in this state.

And the unlucky one was the Okamoto Regiment, which was hit by heavy artillery one after another, leaving only seven or eight hundred people in the entire regiment.
