Three kilometers away from the Japanese camp, the first battalion commander, Zhao Menghai, and the second battalion commander, Zhang Tian, were discussing the next mission in the temporary command post.
"Old Zhao, you guys have been fighting for a day. Leave the rest to our 2nd Battalion, right?”Second Battalion Commander Zhang Tian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Menghai glared at him and said unhappily,"What, are you here to pick persimmons?”
"You guys eat meat, but you should at least let our Second Battalion have some soup, right?”Second Battalion Commander Zhang Tian continued.
Hearing this, Zhao Menghai did not reply. He also knew that eating alone would not last long. The way to last was to share the benefits equally. Moreover, it was not realistic to rely on his battalion to completely swallow the 78th regiment.
"Then let the 2nd Battalion be the main attacker, and the 1st Battalion flank them.”Zhao Menghai said after pondering for a while.
This time, Zhang Tian's face showed a trace of joy. The two of them discussed some details of the battle again.
After half an hour of bombardment and bombardment, the Japanese soldiers were already less than ten inches away from the camp. At this time, the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, who were already on standby, immediately fired countless flares from the camp, illuminating the Japanese camp.
The soldiers of the 2nd Battalion all shouted and charged forward. The Japanese's positions were completely destroyed by the bombs, and there was no way to counterattack effectively. As the Japanese's positions were destroyed one by one.
The 2nd Battalion was getting closer and closer to the command center of the 78th Japanese regiment, and the resistance of the Japanese was getting stronger and stronger.
Fortunately, the Japanese's command center was attacked by an aerial bomb, and the command system was destroyed. The various battalions could only fight on their own, so the resistance was not very strong.
But even so, the casualties of the 2nd Battalion increased. Seeing that the attack was blocked, Zhang Tian once again requested Zhao Menghai's artillery company to cover the area.
After the artillery fire covered the area, when they attacked again, the resistance of the Japanese was much lighter and not as tenacious as before.
"Da da!" Wang Dahai, the first squad leader, jumped over the trenches with his MP38 submachine gun. He pulled the trigger and killed all the Japanese in his line of sight.
The submachine guns were extremely powerful in close combat. The Japanese soldiers were killed before they could even fire. The soldiers behind them began to spread out and kill the remaining Japanese soldiers.
According to Yang Xin's orders, there was no need to take prisoners, so these people became ruthless and shot as long as they still had a breath left.
As time passed, the Japanese's defensive position became smaller and smaller. There were less than 400 Japanese left.
"Great Captain, what should we do now?”The remaining Company Leader asked with a sad face.
The captain's expression was not too good. He did not expect the Chinese army to have such powerful combat strength. It was beyond his expectations. More importantly, there were also the bomber. This was an important piece of information.
Unfortunately, the command center was destroyed in the air raid, and the radio station was gone, so they could not send telegrams.
"Has anyone seen the flag of the United Alliance?" Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly asked.
The few remaining Japanese officers were a little confused and shook their heads at each other. Only the Japanese captain cried out,"Damn it, if the regiment flag is lost, the 78th regiment will cease to exist.”
"Captain, the regiment flag might have been burned in the air raid just now. The 78th regiment no longer exists.”The Company Leader cried.
At this moment, the few remaining Japanese officers burst into tears. The 78th regiment was gone just like that. They were the sinners of the empire.
"It's better than being captured by the Chinese army. That's the real shame.”The captain comforted him in his heart.
On the other side, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions had already gathered together. The remaining Japanese soldiers were suppressed within a few hundred meters of the battlefield.
"Old Zhao, we can't attack anymore. There are too many casualties.”Second Battalion Commander Zhang Tian said with a frown.
In just a short while, his 2nd Battalion had lost more than 300 men, and the 1st Battalion had lost more than 100 men.
It was equivalent to losing one-fifth of the two battalions. This was definitely a huge casualty. At the same time, it also showed them that the Japanese were still very strong.
Zhao Menghai nodded in agreement. After thinking for a while, he said,"I suggest that we gather the artillery of the two battalions and bombard the Japanese camp. We will use up all the artillery shells and form a suicide squad. We will transfer all the submachine guns and light machine guns of the entire battalion to them.”
Hearing this, Zhang Tian nodded and agreed,""Alright, we'll do as you say."
Soon, a 200-man suicide squad was formed. At the same time, the artillery of the two battalions were firing at Zhu Yuan.
"Artillery ready!"
"Fire!"
With a single order, a total of 30 105mm howitzers fired at the Japanese camp.
