Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Several cold shots had little impact on the Japanese army, but their own casualties were very heavy. Even after several cold shots, they were eventually caught up by the Japanese squad and completely annihilated. Guerrilla warfare in the plains is so difficult. Zhang Dahu also discovered this problem, so he immediately changed his tactics and no longer harassed the plains with a wide field of vision.

Zhang Dahu then simply used mines and destroyed roads to slow down the Japanese army's march.

This method did affect the speed of the Chaosheng Brigade.

But Asao Heishiro was very happy, because the more these people tried to stop him, the more it showed that the main force of the independent detachment had already arrived. So Asao Heishiro began to ignore the district team, even if there were some casualties, he did not care.

Boost.

They arrived at Wei Village and met Chao Shengping Silang and Wang Qiuyun.

Chaosheng's battalion and Wang Qiuyun's troops exchanged fire in Wei Village. Due to the distance, the special forces battalion had not yet arrived. Wang Qiuyun could only use the county battalion and the first battalion of new recruits to establish a defensive line. However, the defensive line collapsed under two rounds of Japanese attacks.

This time, Asao Heishiro led two Japanese infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and over a hundred puppet troops, totaling nearly 700 men.

A Japanese battalion's machine gun squadron had four heavy machine guns, twelve light machine guns, and two infantry guns. However, the squadron currently only had six light machine guns left. Furthermore, the Japanese army had brought 24 grenade launchers with them on this attack.

The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade was a unit of the Kwantung Army and one of the first two independent mixed brigades established by the Japanese Army. Therefore, its weaponry was excellent. While the average Japanese squadron was only equipped with four to six grenade launchers, the Asahi Battalion was equipped with twelve.

A squad can be equipped with four grenade launchers.

The firepower was so powerful that the county brigade and the first battalion of new recruits could not even raise their heads.

The county brigade and the first battalion of new recruits had little experience in combat. They were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the Japanese army and fought very poorly.

Especially since the Japanese army also used infantry artillery to bombard the positions, how could the county brigade and the first battalion of new recruits resist? Although Weicun had some defensive advantages, it was not a truly easy place to defend. Facing the attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops' infantry artillery, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns, the positions were simply impossible to hold.

Wang Qiuyun had no choice but to use all the heavy weapons he brought with him.

Take out the grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.

Suppress the Japanese firepower and offensive.

However, the result was that the independent detachment suffered heavy losses in heavy weapons. The Japanese army's Type 92 infantry guns and 24 grenade launchers were specifically designed to attack the independent detachment's heavy weapons.

Less than half an hour after the battle started, the county brigade and the first battalion of new recruits suffered heavy casualties.

Later, even the guard company and the logistics company went up.

The County Brigade and the First Battalion of New Recruits had to fight such a large battle as soon as they came out of the mountains. This was a huge psychological blow to them. The combined number of the County Brigade and the First Battalion of New Recruits was much larger than the Japanese and puppet troops on the opposite side, but the difference in combat effectiveness was completely different.

So Wang Qiuyun had no choice but to order the troops to abandon the first position.

Fortunately, Wang Qiuyun knew that this time, a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army would be difficult, so he set up several positions in Wei Village. After abandoning the first position, he retreated to the second position. Then he retreated all the way to the fourth position, and the special forces battalion finally caught up.

Compared with the county brigade and the first battalion of recruits, the combat effectiveness of the special forces battalion is very strong.

It has been tested in actual combat.

After the special forces battalion joined the battle, they finally managed to stabilize their position.

What is the difference between a veteran and a rookie? The difference is that when facing enemy fire, a rookie will either be unable to raise his head or fire blindly, exposing himself. But a veteran can accurately find an opening and fire a shot.

This is what the soldiers of the special forces battalion are like.

Although their firepower was suppressed by the Japanese army, they were still able to fire back.

And good psychological quality.

For the County Brigade and the First Battalion of New Recruits, this was their first time engaging in such a large-scale battle. Terrified by the Japanese infantry artillery, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns, they didn't know what to do. Wang Qiuyun urged them to hold back, hold on, and let the Japanese get closer. However, the County Brigade and the First Battalion of New Recruits had no experience in this kind of combat and couldn't help but fire first. During the battle, if even one of them lost their composure, the others would follow suit.

As soon as they opened fire, they quickly became targets of Japanese infantry guns and grenade launchers.

But there are many veterans in the special forces battalion, and they have fought many battles during this period, so their psychological quality is very good.

You can endure it until the Japanese army is about to reach the position and then open fire.

Use this method to avoid Japanese artillery and Zheng Danjian.

The Japanese artillery and Zheng missiles would not fire once the Japanese army approached the position.

After the Special Forces Battalion came up to stabilize the situation, the somewhat panicked County Brigade and the First Battalion of New Recruits came to their senses. After such a brutal battle, those who survived had either completely lost their courage or transformed into qualified soldiers.

Wang Qiuyun was already in front of the position.

The casualties were simply too heavy.

Since the independent detachment was established, it had never encountered such a brutal battle. After nearly three hours of fighting, Wang Qiuyun's side had suffered over 500 casualties. The Special Service Battalion, the County Brigade, the First Recruit Battalion, and the Guard Company also suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Wei Hongjun came up with the second battalion.

"Old Wei, how is it?"

"Solved. How about you?"

"Not good. We've managed to hold our ground for now, but the Japanese are planning a larger offensive. Look, this time they're planning to send two squads to attack simultaneously. The Special Forces Battalion has also suffered heavy casualties. All I can do now is wait for nightfall."

Wei Hongjun looked at the wounded from the County Brigade and the First Recruit Battalion and realized that he and Wang Qiuyun had underestimated the Japanese. They had even thought that the independent detachment had developed so well that it could already compete with the Japanese. Both of them were a little arrogant.

But reality dealt a heavy blow to both of them.

Leaving the familiar mountainous areas, they came to fight in Districts 1 and 2, but were no match for the Japanese army. Although Districts 1 and 2 were not plains, they were areas with few mountains and more flat land.

"Lao Wang, I brought eight grenade launchers. Let's teach the Japanese a lesson."

"Alright. Our heavy firepower has been basically destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire. The Japanese certainly didn't expect that we had reinforcements and ammunition."

Wang Qiuyun immediately became excited.

grandma's.

For more than three hours, we were constantly beaten by the Japanese army, and we were filled with anger.

When Wang Qiuyun was about to teach the Japanese a lesson, Asao Heishiro was not very proud. He had brought two squadrons, plus a machine gun squadron, with such a powerful force, but he had not been able to defeat the independent detachment in front of him in three hours.

It was completely different from what he thought.

He had originally thought that the independent detachment was holed up in the mountains and was no match for them in a frontal fight. But even though they had the upper hand, they had also suffered heavy casualties.

What made Asao Heishiro even more worried was that his troops began to have problems with their ammunition.

Originally, Chaosheng's battalion had no shortage of ammunition. However, the independent detachment ambushed his transport squadron and took away all his ammunition. If he hadn't brought a lot of ammunition with him, he wouldn't have been able to fight this battle.

However, by this point in the war, the ammunition for infantry guns and grenadiers was running low.

And it's getting dark.

Asao Heishiro was unwilling to fight a night battle.

Therefore, this time, Asano Heishiro planned to send two squads to charge, and one squadron to support from behind. He would send out an infantry company at a time to completely defeat the independent detachment in front.

"Attention, grenadier team. When the Japanese come up, hit them hard. After two rounds, relocate immediately."

Chapter 091 Night Attack

Wei Hongjun's arrival made Wang Qiuyun breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially when Wei Hongjun came with eight grenade launchers, Wang Qiuyun was even happier because grenade launchers were very powerful.

If used properly, it could deal a huge blow to the Japanese army.

So Wang Qiuyun has been paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

Two Japanese squads were in front, followed by another squad behind, slowly approaching the position. Wang Qiuyun immediately ordered the ammunition, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns to fire simultaneously.

"Boom boom boom"

"Da Da Da" So many weapons suddenly opened fire at the same time, catching the Japanese off guard. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the special forces battalion soldiers also kept firing.

The Japanese army really didn't expect this.

After more than three hours of fighting, the Japanese, using infantry artillery and grenade launchers, destroyed the Independent Detachment's grenade launchers, heavy machine guns, and light machine gun positions. In the final moments, the Independent Detachment was left with only sporadic light machine gun fire. Asahi Heishiro concluded that the opposing Independent Detachment was nearly out of action.

That's why Asao Heishiro sent two teams to go up and eliminate the opponent's independent detachment in one go.

This is bullying the independent detachment for not having heavy firepower.

Unexpectedly, just as the two teams were about to charge, they suffered heavy casualties from Zheng's cannons, heavy machine guns and light machine guns.

"idiot."

Asao Heishiro was about to cry.

After three hours of continuous fighting, the two Japanese infantry squadrons had already suffered heavy casualties. Now, the two squads were being strafed by heavy firepower and had almost lost their combat effectiveness. Asahi Shiro also had few troops at his disposal.

More than one hundred puppet Manchukuo troops had long been wiped out.

Asao Heishiro had previously used these puppet Manchukuo troops to scout the Independent Detachment's defenses. Only then did the Japanese troops advance. However, the Independent Detachment's heavy firepower, along with the incoming special forces battalion, were no pushovers. After over three hours of fighting, the two infantry squadrons suffered over eighty casualties.

So this time three teams were mobilized, two of which served as attacking forces, and Asao Heishiro also concentrated his main forces.

As a result, a large number of people were reimbursed at once.

Asao Heishiro counted the casualties and found that the casualties in the two army squadrons of his unit had reached nearly 130 people.

"Lord Asao, reinforcements have arrived from the Chinese army."

"It's getting dark."

Asao Heishiro watched the sun set and realized that if he stayed any longer it would be dark.

He doesn't want to fight a night battle.

Although he was very unwilling, he still said: "Retreat, retreat to the county."

This operation was a complete failure.

Not only had they failed to seize the food, but they had also failed to destroy the independent detachment. Asao Heishirou truly wanted to wipe out the main force of the opposing independent detachment in one fell swoop, but he still had some sense. It was February, still a very cold month in Sheng County. Asao Heishirou could not allow his troops to stay out overnight. He was not prepared for it.

Moreover, fighting at night in an unfamiliar place is a major taboo in military strategy.

"The Japanese army is withdrawing."

Wang Qiuyun and Wei Hongjun discovered the Japanese army's intentions.

Wang Qiuyun immediately gave the order, "Tell the Chief of Staff: All the district squads along the route must bury all the mines they have. Wherever there are mountains along the way, harass the Japanese and slow their advance. With only two hours until dark, it would take the Japanese an hour and a half to reach the county seat. If we can delay them for just an hour, we can deal a significant blow to them."

It's a rural area after all.

There were many small paths. Although they would be impossible to pass if the troops were too large, for messengers, these paths were the best way to avoid the main force.

"Li Yong, take the grenade launcher team and go around through the small path.

Cooperate with the Chief of Staff to harass the Japanese army."

"Yes."

"Sun Jiahe.
