Sakata United's main force attacked the 358th Regiment's position, determined to annihilate the 358th Regiment. The second brigade was left behind in the United Department.
The 2nd Battalion had not recovered from their heavy injuries, so they did not have many soldiers. They only had three infantry squadrons.
Currently, the 5th squadron was guarding the base, the 6th squadron was protecting the wing, and the 7th squadron was guarding the flag.
The Japanese's flag was personally given by their emperor. It was the symbol of an army.
Throughout the entire war, their flag had never been seized.
Because the union flag was guarded by a special unit, it would be quickly burned at a critical moment to prevent it from being seized.
This was also why the 2nd Battalion had sent a squadron to guard the flag when they did not have many soldiers.
At this moment, the county unit was already fighting with the 5th squadron.
The Japanese had a squadron of more than 180 people, equipped with nine light machine guns, nine grenade launchers, and about 100 Type 38 rifles. Their firepower was not weak.
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for a regiment to take down a squadron like this.
However, the situation of the county brigade was different. Their weapons and equipment were very good.
After the Japanese's light machine gun fire was exposed, Yang Chen decisively ordered the First Company and the Second Company to unleash all their firepower.
Yang Chen knew his troops well. The weapons were not bad, but the quality of the soldiers still needed training.
Moreover, these soldiers could only become qualified veterans after going through many actual battles and gaining a lot of combat experience.
Sudden, violent, and short!
Two companies, four infantry platoons, and two machine gun squads received the order and suddenly launched all their firepower.
Twelve light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and four machine guns fired fiercely. A dense number of bullets and armor-piercing bullets quickly shot towards the Japanese.
At this moment, the Japanese's exposed firing point was suppressed by fierce firepower, and the machine gunners suffered a lot of casualties.
Especially the armor-piercing bullets fired by the four cannons, which could completely destroy the light machine guns.
After a short burst of gunfire, the two infantry companies stopped and quickly changed positions.
As soon as the exposed firepower completed its maneuver, the Japanese grenade launchers fired at them.
However, the soldiers had already shifted their positions. Their mini grenades did not cause any damage to the county brigade's weapons.
On the other hand, three of the Japanese's nine heavy machine guns were destroyed, and almost all the shooters were killed.
"Bagaya Lu, fire the flare and contact the brigade headquarters.”The senior captain roared when he saw this scene.
Flare after flare rose into the air, and the surroundings became bright. Both sides were completely exposed, and fierce firepower began to shoot.
However, the county unit clearly had the advantage in firepower. The Japanese soldiers were completely suppressed.
The various departments adopted the three-three tactical principle, quickly alternating to cover and advance, and all kinds of weapons were fired. The Japanese army was beaten until they could not raise their heads.
When the major captain of the 2nd Battalion heard the gunshots, he quickly reported to Yoshida Maya.
Soon, the 6th Squadron brought four heavy machine guns and quickly rushed over to reinforce the camp.
However, this reinforcement was directly observed by Sun Xiu's cannon.
Two 65mm mountain cannons and two 75mm mountain cannons quickly fired at the reinforcements.
Explosions sounded one after another. The Japanese who were advancing towards the camp were bombarded and paid a certain price.
Under Yang Chen's command, the First Company and the Second Company attacked fiercely. The first row at the front had already advanced to less than 100 meters.
Yang Chen personally controlled the Type 92 heavy machine gun to provide cover fire. The exposed Japanese were instantly shot into meat sifts by the machine gun bullets.
Seeing that the first row was about to charge into the camp, the Japanese reinforcements rushed over and quickly strengthened the defense.
The two sides were caught in a heated battle. The number of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield had increased to more than 300, and the number of light and heavy machine guns had also increased.
"Pa, pa, pa, pa."
"Da da."
The heavy and light machine guns on both sides kept firing, and dense bullets were fired out one after another.
Yang Chen raised his binoculars to observe. Although there were casualties, he remained calm.
The 1st Company and 2nd Company had found suitable bunkers and were shooting at the Japanese. Both sides suffered casualties.
The Japanese's heavy and light machine guns kept firing to prevent the county brigade from breaking through the formation.
Such firepower had completely exposed their defensive trump cards. At this moment, the county brigade still had trump cards that they had not used.
"Stop firing!" Yang Chen ordered.
As the troops stopped firing, the artillery company quickly reacted. Sun Xiu and Wang Chengzhu jointly commanded and launched a barrage.
Four mountain cannons and four mortars fired at the exposed firing points of the Japanese.
The sound of an explosion rang out, and the hot air spread rapidly. Shrapnel flew everywhere. In a short while, the cries of the Japanese could be heard.
A few minutes later, the artillery company began to fire. The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd companies were almost stepping on the cannon points as they advanced.
This was the result of the joint training of the artillery and infantry. Otherwise, the shells would easily injure their own people.
"Gao Jin, Sun Desheng, carry out the machine gun fire and organize the core troops to attack.”
Yang Chen loudly issued the order. The two company commanders nodded and immediately deployed.
"Pa, pa, pa."
"Da da da."
"Bang bang bang!"
Light and heavy machine guns and machine cannons began to attack one point. The dozen or so soldiers attacked that point.
The two companies chose different locations to attack, and each of them had a core unit attacking quickly.
As for the other troops, they would provide strong cover for this core force.
This was Yang Chen's core company tactic. Of course, this core company could also be transformed into a core platoon or a core squad to fight.
The Japanese were first attacked by artillery and paid the price of casualties. By the time they reacted, they were attacked by fierce firepower.
This time, the Japanese were completely stunned. They hurriedly organized their counterattack, but more than ten soldiers were already approaching the position!
Grenades were thrown out one after another. The soldiers quickly installed bayonet on their rifles and rushed to the position.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the county unit and the second unit of the Sakata United Army fought for more than ten minutes. Two core squads and more than twenty soldiers broke through the Japanese's defensive position with strong support!
