Not long after, Chen Liang brought dozens of guards and soldiers to the north of the village.
Here, they met Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, and the tank company that had been ordered to rush over.
When they saw Chen Liang, they all came over and saluted him."Captain, the Japanese have escaped into the back of the mountain. Do we still pursue them?”
"Why didn't you stop them?" Chen Liang was furious when he heard that.”
Zhang Dabiao explained," Regiment commander, these devils are well-equipped. Their tactical coordination is also very good. They escaped into the back of the mountain before the tank company arrived."”
"The political commissar was severely injured by them. We don't know if he's dead or alive now!" Chen Liang said angrily.”
"Ah?" Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, and the others were furious when they heard that. They said,""Captain, we'll go into the mountain and give chase.”
Chen Liang, who had already calmed down, raised his hand and said,"No, our top priority now is still the enemy army outside the village.
On the way here, we've already killed two of their exploration teams and destroyed their command center.
Now was the best time to gather their forces to counterattack and defeat them in one fell swoop!”
"Then aren't we going to take revenge for the political committee?”Wei Da Yong said with red eyes.
"Of course we have to take revenge. This hatred is irreconcilable!”Chen Liang looked at the deep mountains in the distance and said meaningfully,""We'll kill the main force of the enemy that surrounded us first, then we'll chase after these devils.
Even if I have to chase them all the way to Taiyuan, I will tear them into pieces!”
"Besides, we don't have a field hospital here, so we can't operate on the political committee.”
"We can only defeat the enemy at the front and send the political commissar to the division's field hospital.”
After saying that, Chen Liang left more than a hundred soldiers behind to build fortifications in the north of the village to prevent the devils from returning.
Then, he brought everyone back to the regiment headquarters and began to plan for the next counterattack.
"Regiment Commander, although you've taken down the Japanese's headquarters, the enemy's forces are still ten times our number." Zhang Dabiao said worriedly.
Can we succeed if we rashly counterattack?"
" We've already destroyed the enemy's artillery position," Chen Liang said." We now have an absolute advantage in artillery fire."
There was also the tank company. The assault power of this armored force was also something that the Japanese could not stop.
Therefore, as long as we concentrate all our firepower and counterattack with all our might, we have a chance to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and win this base defense battle!”
Chen Liang was not exaggerating. The 12 Sherman tanks that the Independent Regiment was equipped with were not just for the military.
Whether it was firepower or armor protection, it could be said to be the most advanced in the entire Asian battlefield at that time.
In addition, there were more than 20 American howitzers from the artillery company and dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns from the air defense camp.
These weapons could cause devastating firepower to the Japanese troops that had lost their artillery.
Not to mention, all the members of the Independent Regiment were equipped with Garland semi-automatic rifles, Thomas submachine guns, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns.
Therefore, the 2,000-man independent regiment completely crushed the 20,000 Japanese soldiers in terms of firepower.
In terms of light weapons, they were also far stronger than the Japanese.
These were the reasons why Chen Liang dared to take the initiative to attack the Japanese.
Of course, the Japanese's command center had been wiped out, and their artillery positions had been destroyed.
After hearing Chen Liang's analysis, Zhang Dabiao's worries were instantly dispelled. He, who was already incomparably brave, immediately expressed his stance,"In that case, give the order, Guild Leader!”
Chen Liang did not stand on ceremony and immediately ordered,"Gather all your artillery and fire at the enemy south of the village.
The artillery bombardment would last for half an hour. Within half an hour, all the battalions would gather at the defense line south of the village.
After the bombardment, the anti-aircraft battalion's anti-aircraft machine guns provided cover fire, and the tank company took the lead.
First Battalion, Second Battalion, Third Battalion, Guard Company, Scout Company, and Logistics Battalion, all of you grab your weapons and charge forward.
This time, either the enemy dies or I die!
We must defeat the enemy at all costs, break through their encirclement, and create a rescue channel for the government!”
"Yes, sir!" Everyone agreed and immediately left.
Soon, the artillery was ready.
In addition to the 20 howitzers that Chen Liang brought back, there were also mortars from the other battalions, as well as the Type 92 infantry cannons that they had seized from the Japanese.
There were more than 60 of them, all lined up behind the south of the village, ready to fire.
The Tank Company, the various direct companies, and the main battalions were all assembled.
Following Chen Liang's order, more than 60 infantry cannons and 12 tank cannons of the tank company opened fire.
The cannonballs were like shooting stars, piercing through the night sky and bombarding the Japanese's blockade.
Immediately, balls of dazzling red light were set off! Explosions sounded continuously.
At this time, the Japanese troops were blockading the troops because the command center and artillery units had all been attacked.
They were in a state of chaos and panic when they were suddenly attacked by artillery fire from the Independent Regiment.
The morale of the entire army fell further, especially since the artillery fire of the independent regiment was very fierce.
Wherever they went, they destroyed the temporary trenches dug by the devils easily.
They had caused serious damage to the Japanese forces.
After half an hour of artillery fire, they could see the situation from the Independent Regiment's position.
On the other side of the Japanese blockade, there were flames everywhere, turning into a sea of fire.
Chen Liang climbed onto a Sherman tank and stood on it. His gaze was like a knife as he swept his gaze across the surrounding independent regiment officers and soldiers who were on standby.
" Brothers," he shouted at the top of his voice," the Japanese have sent troops to attack our regiment headquarters. The political committee is injured, and we don't know if they're dead or alive. Hundreds of our brothers have sacrificed themselves."
We urgently need to break through the enemy's encirclement and send the political committee to the field hospital for emergency treatment.
Therefore, I order the entire regiment to counterattack the enemy at all costs until they are completely defeated.
This battle isn't just for our base, but also for the Zhao government, for the brothers who died in the village.
Bring out the energy of a wild wolf and launch an all-out attack on the enemy!
If we don't defeat the Japanese invaders, we'll never stop!"
"If we don't defeat the Japanese invaders, we will never stop!"
"If we don't defeat the Japanese invaders, we will never stop!"
"If we don't defeat the Japanese invaders, we will never stop!"
Zhang Dabiao, Wei Dayong, Shen Quan, and the rest of the main subordinates all took the lead to respond!
Morale was instantly boosted to an unprecedented high.
Chen Liang immediately waved his hand,"Kill!"!”
"Kill!" Thousands of soldiers of the Independent Regiment roared and followed their tanks out of the trenches, swarming toward the Japanese army.
Chen Liang personally operated an anti-aircraft machine gun on the tank and fired fiercely at the Japanese blockaded position.
The soldiers of the air defense camp also started firing.
Dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the same time, forming a terrifying web of fire. The dense rain of bullets instantly enveloped the Japanese camp.
The Japanese who were not killed by the shells were suppressed on the dilapidated battlefield.
