When Chu Feng fired the last rocket.
More than ten Japanese infantrymen, including a lieutenant, were blown to the ground.
The heavily injured Japanese troops finally couldn't hold on any longer. In the chaos, some of them started to flee and retreat in panic.
After a while, it receded like the tide.
Seeing the retreating devils, Chu Feng threw the rocket launcher into the trench beneath his feet.
He rushed to the back of the camp and ordered the artillery squadron,""Xiao Liu, stop firing and immediately shift the position.”
"Yes!" The captain of the artillery squad, Xiao Liu, responded and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop firing. He picked up the mortars and ran away.
Meanwhile, Chu Feng advanced quickly along the trenches and shouted to Liu Hui, Zhang Dashan, Li Tian, and the others,""Quick, be careful and hide in case of artillery fire!”
Just as Chu Feng finished speaking.
The enemy's retaliatory artillery fire arrived as expected and bombarded the independent brigade's position.
The first defeat of the official attack made Yoshioka Kunihiko furious. Under his orders, the Japanese artillery regiment was completely annihilated.
He threw a bunch of cannonballs at the head of the independent brigade.
Immediately, balls of dazzling fire and smoke rose from the independent brigade's position. Loud booms shook the sky and earth.
Many soldiers who didn't have the time to shift their positions were attacked by the explosion and fell one after another in a pool of blood.
Most of them were machine gunners because they were the biggest threat to the Japanese.
Just as the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle, the cannons behind the devils locked onto their position.
Thus, these Machine Gunners were naturally the first to bear the brunt of this wave of gunfire.
Chu Feng braved the Japanese's artillery fire and arrived at the first trench where Liu Hui and the other guards were. He saw that they had already stopped shooting and retreated into the trench, crawling in search of cover. "After lying down, don't move. Stay where you are.”
The Japanese were in the forest.
Yoshioka Kunihiko watched as the attacking troops retreated dejectedly. He was furious and roared,"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
The chief of staff beside him hurriedly comforted him,"General, don't be angry. The independent brigade's firepower was very fierce just now, especially their artillery fire, which posed a great threat to us!”
"It's understandable that the 115th Infantry Regiment's attack would fail.”
"I don't want to hear you defend the 115th United, but I want to hear if you have any good ways to attack!”Yoshioka Kunihiko reprimanded with a serious expression.
The Chief of Staff lowered his head in shame and suggested,""General, don't worry. We have the absolute advantage in numbers and firepower.”
"First, let the Artillery Wing continue to fire and damage the enemy's defense line. The next attack will definitely be twice as effective.”
Yoshioka Kunihiko immediately snorted." Tell the captain of the 115th regiment to launch a second attack immediately after the bombardment. This time, we must break through the defense line of the Chinese army."”
"Ha Yi!"
The chief of staff did not dare to disobey and quickly lowered his head to leave.
This time, the Japanese's bombardment lasted for a full 40 minutes. Dozens of cannons fired at the independent brigade's position, firing no less than 500 rounds.
The independent brigade's position was repeatedly bombarded several times.
Under the fierce bombardment of the enemy planes, the 1st and 2nd squadrons guarding the front line had lost nearly a third of their lives.
Even the guard platoon had lost more than ten soldiers. Due to the casualties in the previous battle, there were less than ten people left in the guard platoon.
However, Chu Feng had no choice. The moment the Japanese stopped firing, he jumped out of the trench with a Thomas submachine gun in his hand and ordered loudly,""Brothers, hold on! The Japanese are coming!"
The surviving soldiers climbed up from the trenches and returned to the battlefield with their weapons. A light machine gun and a heavy machine gun were set up again.
Although the two squadrons responsible for fighting the enemy had lost nearly one-third of their forces, their strength was still very strong.
And the sacrifice of their comrades had instead ignited the bloodlust in the hearts of these soldiers, as well as the anger of hatred.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Not only did they not have stage fright, but they were even more hostile and their morale was high.
Chu Feng hid behind a large tree beside the trench and pulled down the bolt of his submachine gun. He then stretched his head out to look outside the camp.
They saw that the Japanese had once again mobilized a large number of infantrymen. Groups of infantrymen with guns surged towards one side of their position.
This shiny bayonet reflected a piercing cold light under the sunlight.
Roughly speaking, the number of soldiers that the Japanese had sent out this time was not any less than the last time. The total number was only about a thousand.
However, the difference was that the Japanese no longer sent tanks and armored vehicles to support the battle.
The devils didn't want to do this, but Chu Feng had used the Bazooka rocket launchers, Sherman tanks, and anti-aircraft machine guns on the few remaining tanks and armored vehicles.
Almost all the artillery of the artillery squadron was destroyed.
Chu Feng remembered that when the devils retreated, there were less than four or five armored vehicles and tanks that were carried away by the infantry.
Chu Feng guessed that perhaps the tanks and armored units were a very valuable unit to Yoshioka Kunihiko's 114th Division.
This old devil was reluctant to take out his remaining assets and take another risk.
No matter what, the tanks and armored vehicles were just Sherman tanks of the independent brigade. They were not very useful.
Chu Feng's guess was correct because the devils valued the navy and neglected the army.
The strategic resources that could be allocated to the army were insignificant compared to the navy.
Therefore, this kind of tank and armored force consumed a lot of strategic resources and also required a lot of logistics supplies.
The Japanese army did not have much equipment, and the 114th division was not one of the 17 regular divisions, so they did not have the qualifications to equip such a special unit.
The tanks and chariots that were currently equipped were the 10th Army's commander, Heisuke. In order to strengthen their assault ability, so that the devils could occupy Hangzhou and other places as soon as possible, they were especially deployed for them.
Regrettably, not only did Tairasuke die, but the tank brigade was also almost completely destroyed in several battles with the independent brigade.
Thus, Yoshioka Kunihiko absolutely hated Chu Feng and his independent brigade to the bone!
