Chapter 17
In Liu Gongmiao Village, the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company had destroyed and occupied the Japanese command post.

The devil commander who was killed by Xu Qingfeng and the others just now was not someone else.

It was Miyoshi Fujii, the commander of the 9th Infantry Regiment, who had just returned from a meeting at the headquarters of the 35th Division.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese off guard.

Before the devils around could react, the headquarters of the regiment was destroyed by Jiulian.

The Japanese in Liu Gongmiao Village didn't know what was going on, and fell into chaos and panic for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Qingfeng, who had fired the signal flare, immediately commanded the soldiers of the Ninth Company to seize the bunkers around the headquarters of the 35th Regiment, and put them on the defensive.

When the surrounding Japanese soldiers came to their senses and rushed towards the wing headquarters, they rushed towards them.

Xu Qingfeng and the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company have already occupied the ring fortifications around their headquarters.

These fortifications were built by the devils with sandbags mixed with some building ruins in order to defend the headquarters of the regiment, and they were fairly solid.

More than 30 officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company, including Zhang Zhijian, Sun Kui, and Liu Mancang, were under the command of Xu Qingfeng.

Relying on these circular fortifications, they immediately opened fire and launched a blocking attack.

Although Xu Qingfeng and the others are small in number, their equipment is not bad. Among the 38 people, 18 of them, including Zhang Zhijian, all use MP18 submachine guns.

The other 20 people, in addition to a 8-cap, also carried [-] Czech-style and crooked light machine guns.

And each of them carried more than [-] rounds of ammunition, and the amount of ammunition was very sufficient.

In addition to the capture of the Japs Regiment headquarters just now, two more Type [-] heavy machine guns and four crooked ones were seized.

Therefore, Xu Qingfeng and other officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company can almost have a light and heavy machine gun or submachine gun.

Therefore, as Xu Qingfeng and other soldiers of the Ninth Company opened fire, a large number of hot bullets poured out in all directions like raindrops.

Under such intensive firepower, those devil soldiers who swarmed in were immediately shot one after another, falling down in pieces.

In this case, Xu Qingfeng and others temporarily occupied a local firepower advantage.

With just one platoon of troops, he managed to suppress the devils whose strength was several times larger than his own.

On the devil's side, because of the regimental captain and other senior officers, they were all killed by the Ninth Company.

In a short period of time, it is difficult to organize an effective counterattack and attack.

Before the main force of the Japs outside the village could return for reinforcements, the 522nd Regiment led by Zhou Weiguo launched an attack on them from the front.

In this way, the Ninth Company led by Xu Qingfeng and the main force of the 522nd Regiment led by Zhou Weiguo played a very good supporting effect on each other.

The Ninth Company destroyed the devil's headquarters, made the Japanese army leaderless in Liugongmiao, and pinned down a part of the Japanese army in the village.

However, Zhou Weiguo and the others restrained the main Japanese defensive force outside the village, preventing them from returning to help and participating in the siege of the Ninth Company in the village.

And he is facing the crisis of being attacked from both sides, without a unified command, and fighting on his own.

Morale has also been affected, waxing and waning.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Zhou Weiguo can lead the main force of the 522nd Regiment in time, defeat the main force of the Japanese army outside the village and invade the village.

That will definitely defeat the 35th Wing of the Japanese Army and take Liu Gongmiao.

Xu Qingfeng and Jiulian also had a glimmer of hope.

Zhou Weiguo and the commander of the first battalion all understood this truth.

Therefore, after the offensive battle started, almost all of them took the lead, commanding and leading their soldiers to attack forward without fear of death.

At the same time, the fighting in the village also fell into a stalemate.

The Ninth Company relied on its local firepower advantage to kill Japanese corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

In a hurry, he couldn't help them at all.

The fighting at Liu Gongmiao soon alerted the headquarters of the 9th Division, which was not far away.

The meeting had already ended and the division commander Yoshika Ryosuke, who was about to take a rest, heard the sound of gunfire. He frowned and asked the accompanying adjutant next to him: "Ask the frontline troops what happened."

"Hay!" A devil major who accompanied him was about to take orders to make a phone call.

A communications lieutenant on duty in the confidential room ran over in a panic.

It was too late to salute, so he reported to Yoshika Ryosuke: "Reporting to the division commander, the 35th Regiment was attacked by the Chinese army.

The situation in Liugong Temple is critical! "

It turned out that the devils in Liu Gongmiao Village couldn't take down the headquarters for a while, and couldn't wipe out the small unit of the Nine Company that had infiltrated.

While mobilizing troops, he reported the situation directly to the division headquarters through the artillery squadron's phone.

Yoshika Ryosuke was not flustered. In his opinion, the 35th Regiment had 3000 troops.

The battle in Songhu has reached this point, even if the Chinese army on the opposite side attacked and counterattacked at night.

The 35th Regiment is also strong enough to resist or even repel them. Even if it cannot be repelled, it is not a big problem to hold the existing defense line until the reinforcements arrive.

Therefore, he ordered without hesitation: "Order Colonel Fuji to lead the 35th Regiment to fight back resolutely and hold the position!"

"General, according to reports from the front, the headquarters of the 35th Wing has been attacked.

Many senior officers and subordinates below the commander of the regiment, Captain Fujii Miyoshi, were killed on the spot.

Now the entire 35th Regiment is leaderless, requesting urgent tactical guidance! "

"Nani?" Yoshiga Ryosuke couldn't hold back his anger and was about to order troops to rush to Liu Gongmiao's aid.

From other directions outside, there was another burst of intense and deafening gunfire and explosions.

Before Yoshika Ryosuke could ask, another Japanese aide came running from outside with a panicked expression.

He stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the division commander, the Chinese Army on the opposite side has launched a full-scale counterattack against the defense lines of our division."

"Baga!" Ji Jialiangfu was surprised and angry: "It seems that the Chinese people came prepared."

"General, the most critical situation right now is the Liu Gongmiao area, which is the closest to our division headquarters.

Once there is a mistake, it will endanger the division headquarters, which will cause our division's defense line to shake.

Therefore, I suggest that we give priority to reinforcements to the 35th Regiment of Liu Gongmiao! "

At this time, Hirosuke Nakagawa, chief of staff of the 9th Division who came after hearing the news, made a decisive suggestion to Yoshika Ryosuke.

Jijia Liangfu nodded in agreement, and immediately ordered sharply: "Immediately transfer a brigade from the 9th Cavalry Regiment and Division directly under the 9th Mountain Artillery Regiment.

Under the unified command of the Sixth Commander of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, Mori Yago, rushed to the aid of Liu Gongmiao.

Tell Senya-kun that after arriving at Liugong Temple, all the units of the 35th Regiment will also be under his unified command! "

"The rest of the troops should go all out to attack the enemy in front of them and ensure that the defense line is not lost!"

"Hai!" Nakagawa Hiroshi and other Japanese officers present paused one after another and accepted the order in unison.

Soon, the sixth commander of the 9th Cavalry Regiment, Moriyago, who received the order.

He led a 300-man cavalry brigade and an artillery brigade equipped with twelve 75mm mountain cannons, and set off quickly towards Liu Gongmiao.

Since cavalry is relatively expensive, the number of devil cavalry regiments is generally around a thousand.

There is a big gap with the more than [-] people in the main infantry regiment of the division.

Although they are small in number, they are highly maneuverable and fast.

In addition, it is not far from the 9th Division Headquarters to Liu Gong Temple.

Therefore, in less than 10 minutes, Sen Yawuliu, an old Japanese soldier, led more than 300 Japanese cavalry and rushed to the east village of Liugong Temple first with murderous intent.

It merged smoothly with an artillery squadron belonging to the 35th Wing.

This artillery squadron is equipped with four Type 35 infantry guns and is the heavy firepower unit of the [-]th Regiment.

As soon as they met, Mori Yagoro, who was riding a horse, immediately asked the artillery squadron leader who came to greet him: "How is the situation?"

"Sir, a small group of Chinese troops put on the uniforms of the imperial army, sneaked into the village, and attacked the regiment headquarters.

The guard squadron was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

The two squadrons of the 3rd Battalion are besieging, but the enemy's firepower is very strong.

The infantry were unable to attack for a long time, and the casualties increased sharply. ’ replied the captain of the artillery squadron.

"Baga, why don't you let your artillery bombard you?" Moriya Wuliu asked angrily.

"The captains of the 1st and 2nd Battalion commanded the Chinese army that resisted the frontal attack on the position in the west of the village.

The captain of the 3rd Battalion and the captain of the regiment were attacked and killed together. No one commanded our artillery squadron and infantry to fight together! "

The artillery squadron leader said in distress: "The 3rd Battalion is attacking, and the humble staff is worried about accidental injury, so they dare not shell."

"Baga! Stupid pig!" Mori Yawuliu was furious, raised his hand and whipped the artillery squadron leader with a horsewhip.

He ordered sternly: "Pass the order, from now on all the troops of the 35th Regiment will be under my unified command.

Order the infantry belonging to the 3rd Battalion to stop the siege immediately and retreat.

Your artillery quickly aims at the Chinese Army positions in the village and bombards them with all your strength! "

"Hai!" The artillery squadron leader did not dare to neglect and quickly took the order.
