The Third Regiment's one-row attack shattered Captain Kumakubo Kaito's self-comfort like a colorful summer soap bubble.

It quickly burst in the August autumn wind!

Squad Leader Xian Junhao led a dozen or so soldiers,

Charging back and forth on the rugged paths of Tiger Head Mountain.

Squad Leader Ji Junba and Squad Leader Wu Qiang each led their teams,

Simultaneously charging towards the top of Tiger Head Mountain from the left and right.

Their speed was no slower than Squad Leader Xian's team attacking from the front.

The anti-aircraft machine gun company, which had been providing cover from a thousand meters away, had to stop firing at this point.

The row had already reached the top of the mountain, and further fire would easily injure their own men.

Captain Kumakubo Kaito stayed in the command post on top of the mountain.

Looking out from the observation hole:

There weren't many Chinese soldiers charging up.

From his position, he could only see a dozen or so soldiers,

Using the rocks and depressions on Tiger Head Mountain to advance towards his position.

Captain Kumakubo Kaito had gathered thirteen Japanese soldiers in this command post.

The command post he was in had been built up by the entire battalion of Japanese soldiers.

It was exceptionally strong, and the soldiers opposite, armed only with rifles and machine guns, would not be able to charge up.

Captain Kumakubo Kaito was confident of this.

Then, the next moment, with three loud bangs,

The fortress where they were shook violently.

The three squads of the row fired the first round of rocket-propelled grenades at the Japanese command post from three different directions.

The Japanese command post was indeed sturdily built.

It took a second round of rocket-propelled grenades to collapse half of it.

With such intense firepower, the Japanese soldiers inside the fortress felt the earth shake and the sky sway.

The ground of the command post trembled, and the ceiling shook.

Half of it had already collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, Squad Leader Xian, who had already charged up, threw two grenades in through the observation hole.

Bang! Bang! Two loud sounds.

The whole world went silent.

Captain Kumakubo Kaito and his entire company returned to the embrace of Amaterasu Omikami.

The battle on Tiger Head Mountain did not affect the advancing pace of Captain Inukai Junosuke's battalion in the slightest.

They had been on the move from the Tiger Head Mountain position for almost an hour.

Ahead was Zhao Family Village!

They had received news that there were imperial supply ships here.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke led over a thousand Japanese soldiers,

Running along the small road.

After an hour of forced march,

The entire battalion of Japanese soldiers was as tired as dogs.

The only difference was that they hadn't stuck their tongues out yet.

However, these Japanese soldiers were also panting with their mouths open.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke finally saw the wreckage of gunboats on the river.

Further away, there were also iron-hulled boats being operated by a group of people, heading towards Longgan Lake.

How could this be?

They, these thousands of Japanese soldiers, ran as tired as dogs,

All for the sake of those supplies.

And now these supplies were being taken away right before their eyes?

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke ordered all the Japanese soldiers:

"Pick up the pace!

Charge! Charge!"

He could see clearly:

Each iron-hulled boat had ten or so Chinese soldiers on it.

He believed that his battalion could definitely defeat them!

Liu Laopao watched the Japanese soldiers charging in.

Watching over a thousand Japanese soldiers charge into their ambush without the slightest bit of caution.

He immediately ordered:

"Detonate!"

This was all part of the plan!

First, send a wave of bombs at the Japanese soldiers.

Then, launch a charge!

When the Japanese soldiers of Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke's battalion launched their charge with the last of their strength,

They were dumbfounded by the directional mines that kept exploding around them.

Many of the Japanese soldiers fell headfirst like this, never to get up again.

Some of the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be blown up,

Stared blankly as they saw thousands of Chinese soldiers suddenly charging out from thirty meters in front of them.

At such a close range, the Japanese soldiers, completely unprepared,

Were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, at a loss for what to do!

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke finally reacted.

He loudly ordered, "Fight! Fight!"

With Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke's reminder,

Those Japanese soldiers who were still in a daze began to regain their senses.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke had already drawn his command saber.

The Japanese soldiers around him,

Also raised their rifles, preparing to engage in bayonet combat with the charging Chinese soldiers.

The distance of thirty meters was instantly closed.

The soldiers of the Second Regiment and the soldiers of the Logistics Regiment had already charged into the ranks of the Japanese soldiers.

Bright bayonets stabbed into the chests of the Japanese soldiers.

White blades in, red blades out!

Such a shocking scene greatly impacted those of the logistics regiment.

Although it wasn’t like they hadn’t seen blood before,

But in the past, they had only cleaned up the battlefield.

Today was the first time they had taken the initiative to attack.

Some people became more and more excited after stabbing a Japanese soldier.

They shouted loudly, "Kill!"

Stepping with standard basic steps,

Charging towards the next Japanese soldier.

Some people started vomiting large mouthfuls after stabbing a Japanese soldier to death.

They were not yet adapted to the bloodiness of the battlefield.

These people vomited a couple of times,

Seeing that their brothers had all charged ahead,

They quickly followed,

Shouting loudly, "Kill!"

Continuing to stab at the Japanese soldiers.

Stabbing Japanese soldiers was most difficult the first time.

The more you did it, the more familiar you became.

Killing and killing, and you get used to it.

Those who had just seen blood and wanted to vomit,

Later on, their eyes were already bloodshot.

Chasing after the Japanese soldiers, wanting to fight them in bayonet combat.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke had originally wanted to have a good bayonet fight with the charging team.

But when he saw the Japanese soldiers under his command,

Engaging with the charging Chinese soldiers,

They fell down after only one exchange.

This wasn’t just one or two Japanese soldiers in this situation.

Most Japanese soldiers were in this situation.

The Japanese soldiers who could actually hold out for two moves with the Chinese soldiers,

Were also swarmed by the charging Chinese soldiers, who didn't care about martial ethics at all.

Three people in a group,

Each with a bayonet, stabbed those Japanese soldiers who could have persisted for a while to death.

What could they do but run in this situation?

As long as the green hills remain, there'll be no shortage of firewood!

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke decisively ran backwards.

The Japanese soldiers of the battalion headquarters by his side, of course, had to protect the battalion commander.

These Japanese soldiers were fleeing,

But on the left and right sides of Zhao Family Village,

There were already two teams that had started before them.

These were the flanking teams that the Second Regiment Commander Liu Laopao had arranged in advance.

The team that took the first step, of course, had the advantage.

Company Commander Zheng Tianan was on the left side of the Japanese soldiers.

His direction had started several minutes before the Japanese soldiers.

At this time, they had already charged to the rear half of the Japanese ranks.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were also beginning to turn around,

This was to compete with their team in foot strength!

Company Commander Zheng Tianan loudly ordered Tang Youwei's team: "You lead the team to immediately cut into the middle of the Japanese ranks.

This can block most of the Japanese soldiers.

We'll chase after the few remaining who are still running!"

When it came to running, these people from the logistics team

Could never outrun the Third Company, who trained every day.

The people on the left horizontally cut into the Japanese retreat,

And immediately cut the fleeing Japanese soldiers into two parts.

Most of the Japanese soldiers were indeed stopped by the logistics team.

Seeing this, Seventh Company Commander Ke Fei on the right,

Also ordered the team following him to divide some people to cut in again.

The Japanese soldiers' escape ranks were now divided into three sections.

The largest section of Japanese soldiers was rapidly losing numbers under the compression of the frontal blocking force.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke was in the first section.

Liu Laopao was personally leading the charge.

Battalion Commander Inukai Juntosuke tried his best, but was unable to organize his team to break through Tang Youwei's blockade.

The smallest section of Japanese soldiers.

Now, there were less than a hundred Japanese soldiers still running.

But they were already in despair.

Captain Takahashi Daitomo looked at the Chinese army teams running like the wind on both sides.

And finally ordered, "Everyone!

Stop and prepare for bayonet combat!"

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to run. It was just that they couldn’t run anymore.

The entire battalion of Japanese soldiers had already run a forced march of ten kilometers.

And now they had to run again.

There was no way they could outrun these fresh troops.

It was better to take advantage of the fact that they still had some energy now.

And see if they could launch a charge.

Give this Chinese army team something to look at.

And beat them back.

Or be annihilated by them!

If they continued to run like this, in half an hour at most,

Even if the Chinese soldiers didn’t come up to bayonet them,

These people wouldn’t be able to stand still.

Captain Takahashi Daitomo's order was given.

These Japanese soldiers, who were already running like machines,

Stopped like robots.

Panting heavily.

These Japanese soldiers, holding their rifles,

Glared warily at the two companies that were surrounding them.

The Third Company and the Seventh Company surrounded these Japanese soldiers.

They had only run a few steps, just finished warming up,

And were at their peak.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers stop and form a circular defensive formation.

The two company commanders simultaneously gave the order:

"Charge!

Kill them!

Leave no one alive!"

Third Company Commander Zheng Tianan and Seventh Company Commander Ke Fei charged in the front.

Divided into left and right flanks. They soon collided with the Japanese soldiers.

These Japanese soldiers of Captain Takahashi Daitomo's company

Had just run ten kilometers.

They hadn’t even taken a breath.

Before they encountered the bombing of directional mines,

And then began a desperate escape.

Those who were able to stand straight holding their guns now

Were all very physically strong.

Strike while the iron is hot.

The Third Company and the Seventh Company would definitely not let these Japanese soldiers take another breath.

They charged up and began shouting in unison.

The two companies, over three hundred people, faced a tired enemy of less than a hundred.

It was simply too easy.

When the battle ended here,

The entire battlefield had ended.

Not far away, the First Company and the Second Company were escorting the newly seized supplies to Taihu County.

The four thousand soldiers here also began to clean up the battlefield.

Preparing to retreat!

Lin Fan knew from the telegram sent by the Third Regiment Commander Jia Shusheng that Tiger Head Mountain had been captured.

He was overjoyed in his heart. At least now, on the way back,

Japanese infantry wouldn’t appear.

Because if Japanese infantry wanted to come and stop their team,

They would have to pass under Tiger Head Mountain.

The battle at Zhao Family Village was over.

But the battle for the First and Second Companies had only just begun.

They were driving iron-hulled boats.

Into Longgan Lake. There was still a remnant of the Japanese gunboat fleet there.

Captain Kobayashi Taiichi had originally led twelve gunboats, hurriedly rushing in Longgan Lake.

Before they even entered Shangxin River, they were stunned by artillery shells fired from who-knows-where.

All twelve gunboats were hit and sunk.

The Japanese soldiers on the gunboats were either dead or injured.

The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to be neither dead nor injured had to rescue the injured.

They couldn't bring any weapons into the water at all.

There were a full two hundred surviving Japanese soldiers in the entire fleet.

Captain Kobayashi Taiichi relied on his memory.

Based on the position of those gunboats when they sank.

He found the eastern direction of Longgan Lake.

And led over two hundred Japanese soldiers on a struggle for survival.

They swam in Longgan Lake for half an hour.

These Japanese soldiers brought the wounded.

They swam for so long.

They were exhausted.

And didn't want to move anymore.

Captain Kobayashi Taiichi encouraged these Japanese soldiers:

"Gentlemen, hold on a little longer. We're almost to the shore.

I've already seen the shore of the lake."

His imitation of Cao Cao's story of quenching thirst by thinking of plums.

It really worked.

The originally lifeless Japanese team

Suddenly became energetic.

Some Japanese soldiers asked loudly:

"Where? Where?"

They also struggled to try to make their bodies float higher on the surface of the water,

So they could see further.

Of course, their efforts were in vain.

No matter what, they couldn’t see the distant shore.

This was just a kind lie from Captain Kobayashi Taiichi.

But this lie was still somewhat effective.

At least the more than two hundred Japanese soldiers here were no longer so lifeless.

After another ten minutes or so,

The morale that had just been boosted,

With the loss of physical strength,

Also disappeared without a trace.

All of these Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Taiichi Company,

Returned to their lifeless appearance again.

Not a single Japanese soldier spoke.

All the Japanese soldiers floated silently on the water.

Slowly swimming east.

At this time, some Japanese soldiers heard the sound of a "putt-putt" engine.

For these Japanese soldiers who dealt with gunboats every day,

This sound was all too familiar.

"There's a sound!" the Japanese soldier said cautiously.

He was afraid that this was just his auditory hallucination.

Captain Kobayashi Taiichi shouted excitedly:

"The commander has sent a team to rescue us."

He also heard the roar of the engine.

At this time, more and more Japanese soldiers heard it.

They quickly looked in the direction the sound was coming from.

Obviously, the ships were still very far away.

These guys who could only barely keep their heads above water.

They couldn’t see the ships yet.

The Japanese soldiers of Kobayashi Taiichi Company couldn't see the ships.

But the people on the ships were heading straight for their direction.

Lin Fan, standing on the top of Luwang Mountain,

Was giving directions to this fleet.

As he had said, he wouldn't let go of a single Japanese soldier.

The Japanese soldiers on land had to be wiped out. These drowned dogs who had fallen into the water,

Must also be beaten hard!

Lin Fan and Liu Laopao arranged for the First and Second Companies to escort the supplies back to Taihu.

Also taking into account that these two companies had been lurking in Zhao Family Village for three consecutive days.

They had been holding out without moving for three days.

The soldiers were exhausted. Letting them go home by boat

Was much easier than walking.

As for destroying the drowned dogs on Longgan Lake along the way,

This was just a matter of convenience.

Company Commander Shi Junxia stood at the bow of the boat,

Looking around majestically.

He finally discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese soldiers.

Waving his big hand: "They're over there!"

Twenty-four iron-hulled boats surrounded the Japanese soldiers floating in the water.

These iron-hulled boats didn't sail up to the Japanese soldiers.

They stopped a hundred meters away.

Machine guns, heavy machine guns, and rifles all opened fire.

The Japanese soldiers of Kobayashi Taiichi's company had all huddled together to save energy.

They were still full of expectations that the ships that were coming were there to rescue them.

Who would have thought that these ships had come to collect their lives.

Suddenly being swept by dense gunfire,

Many of these remaining Japanese soldiers of Kobayashi Taiichi's company

Didn't have time to react before they were hit.

Those wounded soldiers suddenly had no one to support them.

And immediately began to sink to the bottom of the lake.

Some of the lucky Japanese soldiers weren't killed in the first round of strafing.

They immediately dived into the water.

Trying to swim further away.

Thinking that this way they could escape.

These Japanese soldiers, some in a panic, chose the wrong direction.

Swimming towards the gunboats.

It's just that the distance of one hundred meters was too far.

They simply couldn’t dive to the bottom of these iron-hulled boats in one breath.

These Japanese soldiers, after a minute, began to surface one after another.

As soon as they poked their heads out,

They were immediately attacked by countless bullets.

Some Japanese soldiers didn't change direction and continued to swim east towards the shore of the lake, which was still not visible.

They still couldn't compare to the iron-hulled boats.

Some ships were specifically waiting for them on the side.

These Japanese soldiers were the same, welcoming a fierce attack as soon as they poked their heads out.

Some Japanese soldiers took another breath.

Diving again.

There were less than thirty Japanese soldiers who had a second chance.

When the Japanese soldiers who had used their second chance surfaced again,

They were greeted with an even more fierce attack.

This was because, of all the Japanese soldiers still floating on the lake, only these were left.

The soldiers of the two companies all fired at these less than thirty Japanese soldiers.

Kobayashi Taiichi was shot in the head after his third dive.

He didn’t even get his head above water.

He didn’t know who hit him.

Anyway, it was all the same.

The dense gunfire on the lake just now stopped.

All the iron-hulled boats moved slightly.

Carefully checking,

To see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.

The soldiers of the Special Operations Brigade were like this.

They had to ensure that not a single living Japanese soldier was left after each battle.

Shi Junxia looked at the lake surface that had been dyed red.

And stayed here for another ten minutes.

And couldn't find a single Japanese soldier who poked his head out to breathe.

Only then did he lead his team back to Taihu County in high spirits.

Lin Fan watched this fleet disappear from his sight in the binoculars.

Only then did he pay attention to the Second Regiment, which was retreating from Zhao Family Village in the direction of Luwang Mountain.

And that logistics team that had just seen blood for the first time.

This logistics team could already be considered veterans who had been on the battlefield once.

They could be incorporated into the regular army.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt that it was really necessary.

Anyway, these days, he was confronting the Japanese soldiers in Susong.

He had just the time to train this logistics team.

At the same time, there was an opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Let this logistics team constantly harass the Japanese soldiers on the front line every day.

He could implement it when he returned!

At the same time, he could also transform those captured puppet troops.

They were all people of the same origin.

As long as they could join the ranks of the Anti-Japanese War,

They would be their own people.

This time, the Second Regiment cleaned up the battlefield very cleanly.

With 3,000 logistics team personnel,

They took off all the clothes and boots from the Japanese soldiers.

The logistics team itself didn't bring many supplies to the foot of Luwang Mountain.

Most of them had been consumed in three days.

They originally planned to transport those supplies from the land.

Now, there was no need to do so.

Therefore, this journey back seemed very easy.

When they came, they built ten pontoon bridges along the way.

Those bridges were built and then

Removed immediately after the army passed.

Lin Fan didn't want the Japanese soldiers to use these bridges to attack him.

Now, going back, they had to build bridges all the way.

Although it was a little troublesome,

It was safe!

And along the way,

The work of building bridges was originally done by the Second Regiment.

Logistics Team Commander Tang Youwei took the initiative to ask the logistics team to do it.

His reason was: "The regular army is for fighting.

Let them concentrate on fighting."

Lin Fan said with a smile:

"It is true that letting professional engineers do the work of repairing roads and laying bridges

Can save the combat troops some effort.

But if our Special Operations Brigade

Can't solve these problems themselves,

Can't they fight without leaving the engineers?

The characteristic is like the terrain here.

There are rivers everywhere. If two regiments

Or several regiments are fighting at the same time,

Then how many engineers would be needed to cooperate in the battle."

After listening to Lin Fan's speech,

Tang Youwei said: "We also want to learn these!"

Lin Fan: "This is simple!

Now you watch more,

See how they do it.

After we go back, I will equip you with wooden planks and tripods.

You can train.

Also, after we go back,

Every morning, just like the regular troops,

Have an hour of bayonet training.

When there is no task,

Do more shooting training."

For these militia members of the logistics team,

This was great news!

They had long wanted to join the regular army of the Special Operations Brigade.

It's just that Lin Fan had been controlling the number of troops in Jurong.

He was only constantly expanding the number of people participating in militia training.

For all the men and women aged sixteen to fifty in the base area,

As long as they volunteered to participate in military training,

The Special Operations Brigade would support them.

Now Lin Fan decided to train all the 5,000 logistics soldiers who came out this time.

On the way back,

Everyone was singing and laughing.

They had won the battle and seized twenty-four ships and so many supplies.

Everyone was happy.

Jia Shusheng was organizing manpower at this time.

Sending the anti-aircraft machine gun company to Tiger Head Mountain.

If the mountain was not too steep,

He would have wanted to send the rocket launcher company to the top of the mountain as well.

After Inaba Shiro, commander of the division, learned that Tiger Head Mountain had been occupied by the Special Operations Brigade,

He immediately invited a flying squadron to cooperate with its infantry battalion in the attack.

It wanted to take Tiger Head Mountain back in one go.

The Sixth Division also had its own artillery.

Now these artillery began to bombard Tiger Head Mountain.

The Third Regiment Commander immediately called Mao Wenxing.

He wanted him to go and see where the Japanese artillery positions were.

Mao Wenxing didn't disappoint him.

After flying around, he saw that the Japanese artillery positions were on a mountain three kilometers to the right of Tiger Head Mountain.

With the coordinates of the Japanese artillery positions,

Eighth Regiment Commander Feng Junya immediately began to launch an attack on this new target.

This made Regiment Commander Jia feel a little injured.

He originally wanted to let his rocket launcher company do it.

The Eighth Regiment moved first.

In order to save rockets, Regiment Commander Jia had to stop.
