Shino Taro's order was still too slow. The Japanese army only had four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, his brigade, and some other troops. There were more than a thousand people.
He had already sent a squadron into the town to search for things. When the gunshots rang out, the Japanese soldiers in the squadron were attacked by the Sichuan soldiers.
Before the Anti-Japanese War, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army was at the bottom among the many warlords in the country. Almost no one looked up to the Sichuan Army and thought that its combat effectiveness was too weak.
However, after the war began, the fighting power and will of the Sichuan army exceeded everyone's expectations.
One by one, the Japanese soldiers were killed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
...
Just as Shino Taro was getting his troops ready for battle, a series of gunshots suddenly came from behind them. The gunshots were so rapid that other than submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns, only automatic rifles could produce such rapid gunshots. Moreover, the intensity of the gunshots had already told Shino Taro that they had already been wrapped up in dumplings by the Sichuan army.
"Your Excellency, this is bad. A large army has suddenly appeared behind us. They are now launching a fierce attack on us!”
At this time, a Japanese soldier ran to Shino Taro and said loudly.
"I know! Pass on my order, have the 2nd Company at the back block the attack of the Zhi Na Army. At the same time, he ordered the 3rd Company to reinforce the 2nd Company. At the same time, he ordered the 4th Company to enter the town to assist the 1st Company. Have our machine gun squadrons guard the front line and prevent anyone from ambushing us.”
It was said that knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was a surefire way to win a battle. Shino Taro's strategy was correct at the moment. He did not know the situation of the enemies around him at all. He could only defend first and then withdraw his troops. Only after he understood the current situation could he fight.
However, even though his strategy was correct, he still couldn't face a premeditated attack.
........
"Captain, another group of Japanese is advancing into the town. It seems that they are here to support the Japanese in the town!”
He Jie followed behind Yan Wenbin and said loudly.
"Are you here to provide support? How many Japanese were left in the town? Let our troops finish off the Japanese in the town as soon as possible. Also, let the troops open a gap and let the Japanese in. One sheep was released, and two sheep were driven. Since they were here, they would eat them together!”
It's just two squadrons and more than 400 Japanese!
Yan Wenbin obviously had no intention of letting them go.
"Yes, sir!"
The Japanese 4th Squadron quickly entered the town. When they entered, they found that the gunfire in the town had suddenly stopped.
In fact, this was the time when the first squadron of the Japanese army was eaten. Although the Japanese army had strong combat effectiveness, they couldn't stand the fact that the Sichuan army had more people and more advanced weapons than them.
Not long after the 4th squadron entered, they were attacked by the 1st Battalion and 2 regimental companies.
The continuous gunshots continued to come from the town. Shino Taro, who was waiting outside, felt a little panicked. Ever since he landed in Shanghai, he had never fought such a battle.
A Japanese officer with blood all over his face ran up from behind and shouted at Shino Taro.
"Ba ~ ga ~ I know! Go back and defend your position. Don't let the Zhi Na army break through our defense line, or it will be a disgrace to our 101 Regiment!”
Taro Shinno shouted at him.
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
The officer ran back, and Taro Shinno looked at the staff officer beside him and said,""Has the 4th squadron received the 1st squadron?”
"Not yet! There was still no news from the 4th squadron. They had not come out of Eight Warriors Town yet! However, the gunshots in Bashi Town were still very intense!”
The staff officer said loudly.
After hearing this, Shino Taro's eyes turned to the map, and his eyes kept rolling.
"No! He couldn't continue like this. We don't even know how many enemies there are. This is obviously a premeditated ambush. We have to break out of their encirclement, or we will be wiped out by them here!
Order the 2nd and 3rd Squadron to prepare to charge. Ask the artillery team to immediately provide artillery support. Ask the machine gun squadron to go forward and suppress them. We must escape their encirclement!”
Dalo Shinno suddenly said after watching for a while. He could already feel that this was clearly a premeditated ambush. How long had it been since the first gunshot?
After about an hour, he had lost contact with the 1st and 4th squadrons. Although gunshots were still ringing out in the town, judging from the gunshots in the town, he felt that the two squadrons were probably doomed. Rather than waiting for death here, they might as well kill their way out!
Although he was caught off guard by the Chinese army, he believed that with the combat strength of his own army, they would definitely be able to break out of the encirclement.
His orders were quickly carried out. The Japanese army began to break through the encirclement. The artillery team began to fire shells, and the Type 92 infantry cannons began to bombard the second and third battalions.
...................
"Boom ~"
A Type 92 Infantry Cannon shell landed next to a soldier, and the soldier fell instantly.
"Ah pui! Bullying me for not having a cannon."
Second Battalion Commander Yu Fei spat and cursed.
"Battalion Commander, our casualties are too great! The Japanese's grenade launchers were too good. Many of our soldiers were killed by them.”
A soldier with a black face ran to Yu Fei's side and shouted.
"I know. You told the troops to rush to the front of the Japanese. Otherwise, if we can't rush up, the casualties will be even greater!”
As soon as Yu Fei's voice fell, the Japanese soldiers who were defending in front suddenly began to charge. One by one, the Japanese soldiers jumped out of the trenches and launched a counter-charge.
"Damn it, I haven't even rushed up, and you guys want to rush over. Let the brothers rush up and fight the Japanese in close combat!”
The 2nd Battalion had charged forward. When the Japanese saw the Chinese army charging over, they also rushed over happily. Song Wenxuan, who was beside them, saw the 2nd Battalion charging over and also led his troops to charge at the Japanese army.
To be honest, the Japanese in this era were indeed very skilled. Normally, the Chinese army would need several soldiers to exchange for one Japanese. Under normal circumstances, the Chinese army rarely won against the Japanese. Of course, the 29th Division's broadsword team was an exception.
