Chapter 8 Eight Company Commander Kan Hongcai saw it: the Japanese devils in front of them were trapped like dumplings in a dumpling skin!

Whether they could swallow them depended on his men.

He immediately shouted loudly, "Brothers! Keep it up!

These devils are surrounded!"

"The devils are surrounded!" The soldiers of the Eighth Company all shouted excitedly.

Among these surrounded Japanese devils, there were quite a few who understood human speech.

They immediately turned back in alarm and immediately realized: it was true!

Their group had been surrounded by the defending soldiers.

And their retreat was cut off by that fierce and terrifying team.

These Japanese devils immediately panicked.

Those among them who had not understood Kan Hongcai's words noticed the panicked expressions of their comrades.

They also looked around and immediately recognized the reality.

Although they had not yet reached the point of throwing down their weapons and fleeing, they no longer had the courage to fight to the death like before.

Among the nearly hundred Japanese devils, many were looking around, trying to find a weak spot in the defending soldiers' lines to break through.

Morale is like the east wind overwhelming the west wind, or the west wind overwhelming the east wind.

The soldiers of the Eighth Company shouted in unison, "The devils are surrounded!"

The sound echoed across the battlefield, greatly encouraging the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company. The entire battlefield was filled with excitement among the Chinese soldiers.

Now it was clear that the morale of the Chinese soldiers was high, and the morale of the Japanese devils attacking the Dingshan position was getting lower and lower.

In fact, from a distance, the entire Dingshan front line was in a state of "enemy within us, we within the enemy."

The Special Company surrounded nearly a hundred Japanese devils, but weren't their own hundred men also surrounded by the Japanese devils?

The soldiers of the Special Company were divided into two layers, one layer pushing inward to squeeze the surrounded Japanese devils.

The other layer resisted the Japanese devils surrounding them from the outside.

The Japanese devils in the inner circle had low morale, while the Japanese devils on the periphery were desperately trying to eliminate the surrounded Chinese army before the Japanese devils inside were completely dead.

The soldiers of the Special Company practiced bayonet drills for an hour every day, so they were very skilled in bayonet fighting.

Their bayonet skills were not fake; they were honed with a lot of sweat every day.

And in these days, they had plenty of fish and meat every day, with unlimited rice.

Their lives were better than even during the New Year in the past, and every soldier seemed to have started a second development.

Their muscles had grown a lot, and their strength had also increased a lot.

Now they were not afraid of fighting the Japanese devils with bayonets.

In fact, these soldiers were very much enjoying it. Every thrust of the bayonet was irresistible to the Japanese devil on the opposite side, no matter how hard they tried. This feeling was really great!

The soldiers of the Special Company always shouted in unison, "Kill!"

Their footsteps also stepped forward forcefully.

The entire ground trembled under their footsteps.

The air in this battlefield vibrated in the shouts of the soldiers!

In the earth-shattering shouts, Xiao Dongbei suddenly heard the sound of a tank starting up behind him.

He finally felt relieved. Wasn't the main purpose of their team here for these tanks?

Being able to find a few captured tanks for the Special Company would greatly improve the Special Company Commander's combat power.

Xiao Dongbei's voice became even louder.

The group of Japanese devils they were surrounding was also being bravely fought by the soldiers of the Eighth Company and the Special Company.

Like an onion being peeled, the outer layer of resisting Japanese devils was peeled off layer by layer.

These surrounded Japanese devils were really like onions. The more outer layers of Japanese devils were, the more seasoned and determined they were, and the more resolute they resisted.

Their fighting skills were also the best!

After the outer layers of Japanese devils were all stabbed down, the fighting skills and courage of the inner layers of Japanese devils were significantly lower.

Those Japanese devils surrounded in the middle witnessed their comrades falling down one after another.

It was like dominoes. After the first batch of Japanese devils fell, the speed at which the later Japanese devils fell was even faster.

The innermost Japanese devils had even less morale.

They looked around in horror, trying to find a way out to escape from this battlefield.

But in this situation, the Japanese devils wanted to escape, and the Chinese soldiers wanted to wipe them all out, leaving them no chance of survival.

The soldiers of the Eighth Company now had the upper hand, and everyone was excitedly exerting two hundred percent of their ability.

After all the Japanese devils in this encirclement were eliminated, the soldiers of the Eighth Company immediately rushed towards the Japanese devils who were still fighting the Ninth Company.

Originally, the pressure on the Ninth Company was very high. The Eighth Company and the Fourth Platoon of the Special Company cooperated to surround a portion of the Japanese devils.

The remaining Japanese devils could not rush in to rescue them, nor could they break through the defense line formed by the Fourth Platoon.

So they concentrated all their strength to vent their anger on the Ninth Company.

The Ninth Company had been struggling to support themselves. They could hear the loud shouts of their brothers in the Eighth Company.

The officers and soldiers of the Ninth Company also shouted out in response.

Now that the Eighth Company had rushed over, they immediately shared half of the Ninth Company's pressure.

The morale of the officers and soldiers immediately exploded. The most direct result was that the speed and strength with which the soldiers of the Ninth Company thrust out their bayonets became faster and greater.

Xiao Dongbei led the soldiers of the Fourth Platoon, cooperating with the Eighth Company to clear out the surrounded Japanese devils.

They all turned around and charged forward again, instantly pushing back the Japanese devils who had just been bravely advancing a few steps.

These Japanese devils also realized that the nearly hundred Japanese devils who had been surrounded had all been killed in battle.

Captain Kurosan Daisuke was so angry that he almost fainted. His team had originally had a numerical advantage.

After this battle, the strength of the two sides had actually reversed, and his side had become the one with fewer troops.

It wasn't that the Imperial Army wasn't working hard, it was just that the defending soldiers were too ferocious!

Captain Kurosan Daisuke didn't dare to rush to the front to fight with bayonets.

He could only stand in the middle of the team, constantly urging the soldiers to rush forward.

Xiang Liguo, Jia Chengbiao, and the others, who had been busy in the ditch, had by this time directed their comrades to clear the soil in front of the tanks.

They also dug a gap in the front of the trench so that the tanks could drive out.

Before leaving, they didn't forget to ask the brothers who were still filling the soil to dig a gap in the back as well.

It would be used when the tanks returned later!

Three tanks rushed out of the trenches.

They directly appeared behind the Chinese soldiers.

When the remaining Japanese devils of the Kurosan Daisuke Battalion were struggling to hold on, they suddenly saw three tanks from their own team driving out from behind their opponents.

All the Japanese devils suddenly felt full of strength again. They were waiting for the tanks to crush these ferocious Chinese soldiers.

When the three tanks drove out of the trenches, Regiment Commander Wan Shixiong smiled like a flower.

The Chinese soldiers quickly made way for the three tanks.

Captain Kurosan Daisuke watched as these three tanks crushed his own soldiers.

At this time, they realized that the tanks were theirs, but the people driving the tanks were the defending soldiers.

The fighting spirit that had just been ignited, the courage that had been mustered, shattered like a soap bubble in an instant.

Many of the Japanese devils who were still preparing to fight in the rear immediately turned around and ran back.

Their morale finally collapsed at this moment!

When one person took the lead, others followed suit. Seeing that hundreds of soldiers had already run away,

Captain Kurosan Daisuke finally gave up as well. He also began to make a strategic retreat to the rear.

Xiao Dongbei ordered, "The tanks retreat immediately and drive back."

Those fleeing Japanese devils were strafed by the machine guns and heavy machine guns deployed on the position.

Stabbed to death the last Japanese devil who was still fighting with bayonets.

Xiao Dongbei ordered, "Quickly clean up the battlefield in three minutes! Retreat!"

Wan Shixiong looked at the tanks that had just entered the battlefield and had just shown their faces.

At most, they had only crushed a few Japanese devils to death. They hadn't fired a shot or a cannon, and they were rumbling back to the rear of the position.

He pointed at the fleeing Japanese devils in front and shouted, "The devils are in front, why not let them chase after them?"

Xiao Dongbei also shouted loudly, "The Japanese devil's artillery bombardment is coming soon.

If we chase after them, we won't be able to come back.

Tell your troops to leave quickly, there are still two minutes!"

When the two teams had retreated, they looked at the position above, which was once again filled with artillery fire.

Only then did Wan Shixiong ask, "Why did you say there were two minutes just now?"

Xiao Dongbei smiled and said, "I don't know how long it will be before the Japanese devil's artillery bombardment comes.

But our company commander told us to run after only three minutes of fighting the Japanese devil warships at Henggang Wharf.

He said that the Japanese devil's shells would hit in three minutes.

So I also told everyone to spend three minutes cleaning up the battlefield.

When you came over, a minute had already passed, so of course there were only two minutes left for you."

Only then did Wan Shixiong understand.

After his troops retreated, although the Japanese devil's artillery fire waited a while before arriving, it did indeed hit.

Now he looked at this young man with increasing favor.

"Platoon Leader Pu! This..." Wan Shixiong was a little embarrassed to be so openly poaching.

Xiao Dongbei completely didn't understand what Regiment Commander Wan wanted to express, and said directly, "Our company commander said that we only dug up three tanks just now. You keep two, and we'll drive one away."

Regiment Commander Wan Shixiong said embarrassedly, "What I wanted to say wasn't this. I wanted to ask, how about you come to my place and be the company commander of my direct subordinate company?"

Xiao Dongbei said decisively, "Don't even think about it! We are all from the Special Company."

"Look, your command ability is so strong, you can already command a company of troops to fight.

You're still just a platoon leader." Wan Shixiong still wanted to try.

"Following the company commander, we have battles to fight, we can go out and fight the Japanese devils. Following you, we can only defend one place." Xiao Dongbei said.

Regiment Commander Wan didn't speak. It was impossible to persuade someone who only wanted to fight the Japanese devils.

Xiao Dongbei continued, "Regiment Commander Wan, none of the people I brought will follow you."

"Why?"

"Because the company commander treats them like human beings!" Xiao Dongbei said proudly.

Regiment Commander Wan Shixiong was really embarrassed this time.

In the regiments they led, the difference between officers and soldiers was very large.

Even Regiment Commander Wan himself still had the warlord's ways of treating ordinary soldiers.

The reason he was so polite to Xiao Dongbei, such a small platoon leader, today was because Xiao Dongbei was just a platoon leader.

But the people under his command were a whole elite company of troops, and their strength was even stronger than the Japanese devils.

If they were to fight against his regiment, they might not be able to win.

But Regiment Commander Wan understood that if he only sent out a battalion, it would definitely not be a match for this platoon.

This was why he was so polite to Xiao Dongbei. A lion leading a group of sheep, the combat power of this group of sheep became a group of lions.

A sheep leading a group of lions, this group of lions would also become a group of sheep.

What kind of general, what kind of soldiers.

It was just that they had no intention of leaving the Special Company at all.

Regiment Commander Wan could only give up.

He pointed to the tanks in the distance, "Can they really learn today?"

"Yes!" Xiao Dongbei was very confident.

"If they can't learn on the battlefield, they will die. They will definitely learn.

When the next Japanese devil's artillery fire stops, let your people drive the tanks up there.

But our tank will still be driven by our people."

"So fast?" Regiment Commander Wan Shixiong was stunned.

"We have to be fast. We have to return to the team at night. Anyway, they just need to know how to drive the tanks.

If they can't drive them, blow them up, blow them up hard, so that the Japanese devils can't even take a part back to use.

The company commander said that if you want to really learn how to drive a tank, you have to know how to repair it, which can't be learned in a few months.

And you have to be able to read, so now you can only make do with it. If you can drive it, you're done."

Shinshina Ryunosuke, the commander of the 116th Regiment, also saw that the Chinese army had driven out the captured tanks.

He also saw the rout of the Kurosan Battalion after the Chinese army drove out the tanks.

This time, he didn't blame them.

He just asked the Heavy Artillery Brigade to bombard the front position even harder.

At the same time, he pulled up his regiment's artillery team to prepare to support the Kurosan Battalion in the next battle.

Now Regiment Commander Shinshina Ryunosuke's mind was all on the attack on Wushan by the Nakafuku Hyuga Battalion.

Looking at the Dingshan position in front of him, it was still full of artillery fire.

Xiao Dongbei suddenly said to Regiment Commander Wan, "The Japanese devil's round of artillery fire won't stop for a while.

Do you want to let your tanks go over there and try it out?"

Over there? Xiao Dongbei was referring to Wushan.

That was also the defense zone of the 618th Regiment.

Regiment Commander Wan didn't even consider it. "I'll leave the Ninth Company here, and the Eighth Company will go with you."

Xiao Dongbei nodded.

Xiao Dongbei's whole family had been killed by the Japanese devils, and he never thought there were too many Japanese devils to kill.

Seeing a large group of Japanese devils charging towards Wushan.

Some Japanese devils had already rushed up the mountain.

As long as the team on the mountain persisted for half an hour,

He would take the Fourth Platoon, plus the Eighth Company of the 618th Regiment, and rush over from behind the Japanese devils.

These Japanese devils would have a very hard time.

Having obtained Regiment Commander Wan's consent, Xiao Dongbei immediately arranged for the whole platoon to move out. Target: Wushan.

The soldiers of the Special Company immediately took action.

This time, Regiment Commander Wan paid attention. The soldiers of the Special Company were only issued rifles.

Those rushing in the front only carried rifles. Those slightly behind carried shells or machine gun bullets.

Those carrying heavy machine gun parts also had a rifle on their backs.

Even those carrying mortars had rifles on their backs.

This Special Company detachment moved too quickly.

And they ran fast.

Without comparison, there would be no gap.

Usually, Wan Shixiong still felt that his team was still presentable.

Today, compared with others, the gap was immediately widened.

The people of the Special Company, carrying so much heavy firepower, ran faster than his Eighth Company.

It seemed that daily training was still useful.

Regiment Commander Wan Shixiong was not observant enough. If he had taken a closer look at the faces of the soldiers, he would have found that the faces of the soldiers of the Special Company had more flesh than those of his men.

This was because Lin Fan had asked the soldiers to eat more every day, and had asked Li Xian to buy more meat to feed them.

Captain Nakafuku Hyuga was not the first to launch an attack.

His team was not the first to launch an attack either.

Before that, he had seen the attack of the Kurosan Battalion and knew that their attack was not going well.

He didn't expect that his regiment's attack on this mountain was also equally unsuccessful.

His team was still a hundred meters away, and the defending soldiers on the mountain began to shoot.

And their machine guns kept firing.

Three light machine guns suppressed the offensive of the 1st Company of Nakatani Haruji, which was acting as the vanguard, even from a hundred meters away.

Captain Nakafuku Hyuga had no choice but to have all the machine guns, heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers in the battalion fire.

Suppressed the three machine gun fire points on the opposite side.

This place was different from the previous Dingshan.

The degree to which the position on Wushan was bombarded by artillery fire was not high.

The entire fortification was intact, and it could still persist in counterattacking even when it was suppressed by so much firepower from the Japanese devils.

It took a lot of time for the 1st Company of Nakatani Haruji to advance to forty meters in front of the defending soldiers' position.

The grenades thrown down from above had too much damage to the entire team.

The 1st Company of Nakatani Haruji had no choice but to retreat.

Captain Nakafuku Hyuga was furious. He ordered all the grenade launchers and mortars in the team to bombard the mountain.

At the same time, he had his heavy machine gun position advance to four hundred meters away from the defending soldiers, suppressing the opponent at close range.

The 1st Company of Nakatani Haruji suffered more than thirty casualties in the previous charge.

Captain Nakafuku let them rest and replaced them with the Meno Taro Company to continue the attack.

All 184 men of the Meno Taro Company were fully staffed, and they had just rested for a while.

It was the time when they were full of energy.

Upon receiving the order, the Meno Taro Company immediately shouted and rushed towards Wushan.

The Meno Taro Company charged forward in the face of the artillery fire fired by their own team.

The 4th and 5th Companies of the 618th Regiment, who were guarding Wushan, saw that there were Japanese devil infantry charging up again in the Japanese devil's artillery fire.

They had no choice but to enter the position and start counterattacking.

This time, the mortars of the Nakafuku Battalion kept firing.

Even if some of the shells landed forty meters in front of the Wushan position, their artillery fire did not stop.

This made it impossible for the machine gun positions of the 4th and 5th Companies to function.

As soon as the machine gun fired, all the mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns of the Japanese devils would fire.

And even if they accidentally injured their own people, they would not stop.

The 4th and 5th Companies, who were holding on to the position, suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Japanese devil's artillery fire.

In just ten minutes or so, more than thirty soldiers were killed or wounded.

Company Commander Wu Tianci of the 4th Company looked at the situation in front of him. The Japanese devils were obviously trying to destroy everything!

Even so, his team had to fill the position with their lives, otherwise the position on Wushan would be lost.
