Chapter 20
"Remember all of this and stabilize your mentality. Think about what the instructor taught you on the training ground. What should one do when facing an enemy? Each of them held their own positions. Don't panic. Only by uniting can we stop the Japanese's attack!”
Okano Chiri and Yamaki Nishiko could see the weakness of the Northeast in resisting the Japanese, but how could Zhao Wenbin not know? This hastily trained troop was still too young, and they couldn't do many things well.
Therefore, he kept walking on the battlefield, encouraging the soldiers as he walked.
"Brothers, behind us are our families, our wives and children, our loved ones, and our loved ones. Imagine, if we didn't stop the Japanese's attack, what would happen if Jidong County fell into the hands of the Japanese?
Our wives and children will be enslaved by the Japanese. Our wives and sisters will be bullied by the Japanese. Can we tolerate this? Can we let our loved ones suffer such a calamity?”
Zhao Wenbin shouted loudly again. This time, there was a very obvious effect. At this time, the safety of his family, his loved ones, and the bargaining chips of his loved ones were obviously more attractive than money. The soldiers, who had been a little uneasy, now had a fierce look in their eyes.
Zhao Wenbin walked around and just as he arrived at the back of the camp, the Japanese attacked.
A standard infantry brigade with more than 1,100 Japanese soldiers pressed forward.
Zhao Wenbin picked up the binoculars and took a look. He only frowned but did not express anything. He knew that he could not show the slightest panic at this time, or it would affect the morale of the army.
"Send an order to the infantry companies at the front line. Tell them not to save bullets for me and to fire at full power. Open up and fight. You must suppress the Japanese!”
Zhao Wenbin turned around and shouted at a signalman.
"Yes, sir!"
The order was quickly passed down. Li Ergou lay on the ground and looked at the approaching Japanese. He licked his dry lips.
He took a Bren machine gun from the side.
Soon, the Japanese entered the range of 200 meters, but they still did not shoot. They were still waiting for Zhao Wenbin's order.
A hundred meters! The Japanese were already 100 meters away!
A red signal flare slowly rose into the air. The moment the signal flare rose into the air, the entire front line was instantly opened.
Nearly 20 Browning M2 heavy machine guns and over 30 Bren light machine guns were roaring non-stop. The grenade launchers were also firing shells at the Japanese.
The fierce firepower instantly suppressed the Japanese soldiers in front of them.
Okano Chiri, who was watching from behind, was stunned when he saw the sudden burst of firepower.
"What powerful firepower! This firepower actually surpasses the firepower of the Empire!”
Okano Chiri muttered to himself.
......
"Grenade! Throw the grenade!"
Someone in the company said something and more than 30 grenades flew towards the Japanese.
However, at this time, the Japanese infantry also began to charge. They were less than 100 meters away from the front line. At this distance, the Japanese had no way to retreat.
There were so many of them, and under such fierce firepower, it was impossible for them to retreat even if they wanted to.
"Kill ~ Give ~ Give ~"
"Damn ~"
...
Countless Japanese soldiers charged towards the front line with ferocious expressions. The heavy and light machine gunners at the front line had already gone crazy, and bullets kept flying out like rain. They killed the Japanese at the front, but the Japanese at the back quickly replaced them.
Zhao Wenbin clenched his teeth tightly and did not speak at the back. However, it was not difficult to see from his eyes that he seemed to be still looking for an opportunity.
With such fierce firepower, the Japanese were not to be trifled with. Although there were countless Japanese who fell in front of the formation, there were also many light and heavy machine gunners from the first and second companies who fell in front of the formation.
"Hold on for another five minutes! Hold on for another five minutes!"
Zhao Wenbin looked at the battlefield in front of him while checking the time.
Soon, five minutes passed.
"Sir! Infantry Company 10, 11, and 12 had called. They were already in position and could launch a counterattack at any time!”
At this moment, a signalman ran in front of Zhao Wenbin and said loudly.
"Pass on my order, the 1st and 2nd companies will immediately abandon the front line and retreat to the second line of defense!”
Zhao Wenbin's expression changed as he shouted loudly.
"Yes, sir!"
......
"Company commander, the senior officer has given the order to immediately withdraw from the front line.”
A signalman ran to Li Ergou and shouted.
“艹! This is the moment I've been waiting for. The entire company retreated from the front line.”
After Li Ergou finished shouting, he reloaded the light machine gun in his hand and threw it to the machine gunner. He took a Leenfield rifle and turned around to leave. The other soldiers of the First Company and Second Company also quickly retreated from the front line.
Less than a minute after they retreated, the Japanese charged into their position. When some soldiers were about to chase after them, there was a sudden explosion under their feet. It was the explosives that had been planted earlier.
This stopped the Japanese's First Battalion's attack and forced them to temporarily stop attacking.
........
Zhao Wenbin narrowed his eyes when he saw the Japanese enter the front line of their camp.
"Send orders to the 3rd and 4th Infantry Company. Tell them to shoot at the Japanese and draw more of them forward. Without my orders, they are not allowed to stop. Give power to the 10th, 11th and 12th companies and have them wait for my orders.”
"Yes, sir!"
.................
"It shouldn't be! Why would these Chinese people suddenly give up their position? Judging from their gunshots, their firepower was still very fierce, and the rhythm was still there. Why would they suddenly retreat?”
The First Main Company had attacked their position, but Okano Chiri was not as excited as the Chief of Staff Yamaki Nishiko had imagined. Instead, he frowned.
"Your Excellency, perhaps their soldiers can't hold on any longer? I think this is also possible!”
Yamaki Nishiko said as she looked at Okano Chili.
"No, I can't! That was impossible. There was no large-scale disorder in their gunshots. I think they have other plans!”
Okano Chiri was not blinded by his own arrogance. He still maintained a clear head.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, the First Brigade has called. The Chinese people have only given up a section of their position, but they are still resisting. Due to heavy losses during the attack, the 1st Battalion is requesting tactical guidance!”
At this moment, a signalman ran over and shouted.
