Chapter 984 Ding Yucheng returns to help
The little Japanese soldier's eyes turned red.
Although the Chinese troops on the front had retreated, the little Japanese had no intention of stopping and resting.
The Japanese soldiers held their rifles and continued to move forward. It seemed that they were like zombies who never tired, and there was flesh and blood in Anyang Town that attracted them.
"beat!"
However, Gao Cang's retreat was not a rout, but an orderly retreat.
If the troops retreat in an orderly manner and pursue rashly, they will only fall into the opponent's ambush circle.
Following an order from a company commander, the machine guns spit out tongues of fire, and the artillery in Gao Cang's and others' hands fired "thousands of cannons", hitting the little Japanese one after another.
Under the fierce firepower, the little devils who were still running fell to the ground one by one.
The machine gun bullets are like a sickle harvesting wheat, sweeping away a large area.
When gunshots and explosions rang out, the Japanese army didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was just a small group of Chinese troops at the rear, covering their troops' retreat.
The little Japs were still running forward in a swarm, not caring about the firepower on both wings.
Many Japanese soldiers believe that by running two steps forward, they can get out of Gao Cang's fire coverage.
However, none of the little Japs who ran into the area covered by Gao Cang's firepower could continue to move forward intact.
In the dark night, the little devil behind could not see clearly what was happening to the little devil in front.
It wasn't until layers of corpses were piled on the road, and the mixture of flesh and blood made the road slippery, that the little devils behind realized the magnitude of the casualties ahead.
The Chinese machine gunners operating the heavy machine guns did not realize that the barrels of their heavy machine guns were red.
"Stop!"
A Japanese officer realized the seriousness of the problem in time and blocked the crazy Japanese soldiers from behind.
"Bang"
A flare shot into the sky. Under the dazzling white light, the little devil was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.
The body was covered with broken corpses, blocking the road, and even piled up into a hill not far away.
The blood flowed under the illumination of the flare, like thick black ink forming a small river.
The little Japanese soldiers who were still crazy at first calmed down completely when they saw the mutilated corpses of their comrades!
When the little devil saw the corpse, he thought of himself, because if they continued to run forward, they would just end up adding an insignificant corpse to the pile of corpses.
After the fear, the little Japanese soldier felt tired all over his body.
They had been without rest for almost two days and two nights. They had just gone through a fierce attack, which had exhausted the last of their physical energy.
Fear and fatigue came together, and the little Japanese soldier felt that his body was drained instantly.
The Chinese soldiers on both sides of the road also saw the tragic scenes under the flares, but they had no mercy. They would not use any means to kill the invaders.
There were still wounded Japanese soldiers lingering under the flares, but the machine gunner never fired another shot.
If the machine gun continues to fire like this, it will affect the service life of the machine gun.
The little Japs in the rear had no intention of continuing to charge, indicating that they had contained the Japanese offensive.
"Report to the captain, we only have more than 600 soldiers who rushed over!"
There were more than 600 of them, and many of them lost their bearings in the dark and were completely scattered.
The scattered Japanese troops moved in the direction of the gunshots, and ended up getting involved in the battle.
From the shelling last night to the battle tonight, more than 400 Japs have been killed, and there are more than 200 wounded behind them.
Including the soldiers missing in the shelling, the number of Japanese casualties has reached more than 700.
There were also those little Japs who lost their way in the dark night. Even if the Japanese troops who rushed over were able to assemble in Anyang Town, they still don’t know if they would be able to assemble 300 people.
"Great, six hundred people are enough to capture Anyang Town. Now our main task is to hold back the Chinese troops in front of us and prevent them from returning to support Anyang Town."
Yamazaki still arrogantly believed that the troops they rushed over were enough to capture Anyang Town.
As long as his troops break through Anyang Town, the army on the front will be defeated without a fight.
It seems that after dawn, victory belongs to them.
However, after dawn, Yamazaki realized that this place was his grave.
As the sun rose, the special agent company and the reconnaissance company had rushed to support and overtaken Yamazaki's retreat.
"Report to the deputy commander, Ding Yucheng will report to you with the reconnaissance company and the special agent company and follow your orders."
They have gradually formed an encirclement against the Japanese army!
The little devils here can't escape even if they want to.
"You came just in time. The Japs launched a suicide charge against us last night. The soldiers of the Second Company suffered heavy losses. Ding Yucheng, you take the reconnaissance company to replace the Second Company."
Last night, the Second Company had been on the front line, making adjustments and redeploying the battlefield to cover the large forces. Facing the Japanese suicidal charge, they never took a step back.
After the second company withdrew, only more than forty people were left!
Now that the special agent company and reconnaissance company arrived in time, Gao Cang instantly gained confidence in his troop strength.
"Battalion Commander, we have used up all our artillery shells, and there are still two explosive packs left!"
Reinforcements arrived in time, but the shells in Gao Cang's and others' hands had been consumed.
They blocked the Japanese charge and caused massive damage to the Japanese army, at the cost of making their artillery useless on the battlefield.
"Without artillery support, the next battle will be difficult to fight!"
When the little devil learns that reinforcements have arrived, he will definitely switch from offense to defense.
The Japanese army's machine guns serve as fire support points. If these fire points are not destroyed, the soldiers will charge heavily, and they will pay a lot of casualties.
"How about siege but not attack?" Ding Yucheng suggested.
"What I'm worried about is that the surrounded Japanese troops are already asking for support. There are Japanese planes in the sky. If we don't take them down in time, our casualties will become more and more heavy."
If these Japanese troops would rather die than surrender, they would fight Gao Cang and others to the death and fight to the last man.
The Japanese aircraft will inevitably come to help. For troops without air defense, their soldiers will fall in pieces under the strafing fire from the aircraft.
Therefore, they must fight quickly and end the battle as soon as possible.
"Ding Yucheng, let the secret agent company stay and the guard company return to support Anyang Town!"
Gao Cang made a decision.
They can't encircle and not attack, nor can they encircle and attack by force. Both methods will end up causing them heavy casualties.
Since ancient times, our ancestors have left a good way to deal with enemies who jump over the wall in a hurry, which is to surround three and miss one!
When besieging a city, only surround three sides, leaving one side for the enemy to escape.
If the city is besieged, the enemies in the city will fight to the death in order to survive, causing huge casualties to the attacking troops.
