Uehara Daiki's company fought a particularly frustrating battle today: they only fired a few shots after entering the battlefield, and were then suppressed into cowering in the trenches, waiting for a bayonet charge.

　　They finally saw the special operations brigade's soldiers charging up, only to have half of the Japanese infantry company blown up by the grenades that were thrown.

　　As a result, the remaining Japanese soldiers in the company lost their nerve and had little morale to fight.

　　Pitted against the special operations brigade soldiers in a bayonet charge under such circumstances, the Japanese soldiers in Uehara Daiki's company fell as soon as they made contact.

　　It wasn't that these Japanese soldiers weren't trying hard enough, it was just that these Japanese soldiers originally had no morale to fight, and now they were encountering the special operations brigade, which had superior numbers, charging up.

　　The Japanese soldiers in Uehara Daiki's company had no power to resist at all. Each Japanese soldier had to deal with the bayonet attacks of two or three soldiers from the Tenth Company, so how could these Japanese soldiers cope?

　　When Company Commander Hu Xiong led his troops to break through the last of the Japanese soldiers from the Kouchi Takuya Battalion, he saw a Japanese team rushing towards them from afar.

　　He immediately ordered, "Heavy machine guns to the front, stop the Japanese."

　　The sound of heavy machine guns firing, "tat-tat-tat!" started again. The heavy machine guns could not only be used as a firepower point in the front, but more importantly, as a shield.

　　When Company Commander Nagasawa Emon led his machine gun company towards the Kouchi Takuya Battalion's defense line, he saw that the Kouchi Takuya Battalion's defense line had already collapsed halfway.

　　The attacking Tenth Company had already set up heavy machine guns on the Kouchi Takuya Battalion's defense line and were firing at these charging Japanese soldiers.

　　This put the Japanese soldiers of the Nagasawa Emon Company in an awkward position: they couldn't advance, and it wasn't good to retreat.

　　They could only lie down on the spot and organize a defensive line to hold on. Commander Tsuishi Shiro, who had been nervously monitoring the situation here, saw that the Kouchi Takuya Battalion had been completely wiped out.

　　He quickly issued an order: "The Nagasawa Emon machine gun company will hold the defense line." A single machine gun company would definitely not be able to hold it, so less than a hundred remaining Japanese soldiers from the Uchida Kamehiden Battalion were also sent out.

　　At the same time, the Fujito Yūki Battalion sent another infantry company to reinforce them as quickly as possible.

　　Commander Tsuishi Shiro wished that his orders would be carried out and his subordinates would arrive on the battlefield immediately.

　　He had just thought that it was the slow movement of the Japanese soldiers in the Nagasawa Emon Company that caused the entire Kouchi Takuya Battalion to be wiped out.

　　Company Commander Nagasawa Emon, who didn't know that he had become the scapegoat, was at this time ordering the Japanese soldiers to quickly find better cover and make plans to hold out here for a long time.

　　The situation on the battlefield was really not good. If the defensive line that he had established now couldn't be held, the entire Marine Corps would probably be finished.

　　The Japanese firepower once again became fierce, which made Company Commander Hu very unhappy. He asked Company Commander Ren, who had come up, "What's wrong with the Japanese today? Do they have so many machine guns?"

　　Company Commander Ren couldn't figure it out either. He didn't know why the Japanese team's firepower was so strong. He could only say, "This time the Japanese didn't dig any holes, so let the artillery bombard them!"

　　Company Commander Hu and his men had occupied the three defense lines of the Kouchi Takuya Battalion, and now the number of teams that could participate in the attack had increased to four companies.

　　There were too many troops, and they couldn't all fit, so Liu Laopao ordered, "The Seventh and Eighth Companies will rest in place and wait for orders."

　　The main attack was still the two Tenth Companies plus the Ninth Company of the Second Regiment, and the mortars and infantry guns of the three companies exploded on the Nagasawa Emon Company's position.

　　The Japanese, who had no chance to dig fortifications and trenches, were in trouble. One shell could injure Japanese soldiers within a 30-meter radius.

　　Lin Fan, who was standing on the top of the mountain watching the battlefield, could see everything clearly. They also saw more than two hundred Japanese soldiers rushing towards the new defense line.

　　Lin Fan said to Liu Laopao, "After the Japanese reinforcements arrive at the battlefield and the Japanese soldiers on this defense line are completely wiped out, we can let the team stop for a while."

　　Liu Laopao said with a smile, "Okay!" Lin Fan did not avoid the observation group sent by the Fourth War Zone when he was directing the battle.

　　At this time, even Chief of Staff Wang, who was sent by Commander Yu Hanmou of the Fourth War Zone to verify the situation, heard Lin Fan's arrangements clearly from the side.

　　After arriving here, he had already learned the details of the entire battlefield from the staff officers such as Bai Yong and Shao Ming.

　　They also simply set up a sand table on the ground and reviewed the combat situation in the morning.

　　Now, hearing Lin Fan say this, he knew that he wanted to use the old trick of besieging a point to attack reinforcements. Chief of Staff Wang asked worriedly, "Brigade Commander Lin! Your team came from Wuhan without rest. You've been fighting continuously for another day.

　　Why don't you wipe out this Japanese team and let the army hold the defense line without internal troubles, and take a rest by the way!"

　　He was worried that the special operations brigade would be fighting continuously, and if the soldiers' physical strength and morale couldn't keep up, and these Japanese soldiers caused trouble, it would be bad.

　　Lin Fan said with a smile, "Counterattack Conghua! That's not as important. Now that we have such an opportunity, we can completely lure the Japanese in to fight.

　　Let the Japanese run around and rush into our ambush circle to eliminate a large number of their living forces.

　　As for the territory, when more Japanese die, they will naturally understand what we need, and Conghua will be very easy to recover.

　　As for the soldiers fighting continuously, it is a bit difficult, but we will definitely be able to overcome it, which requires the cooperation of the brothers in the Fourth War Zone."

　　"How do you want us to cooperate? We will definitely do what we can!" The special operations brigade had only fought its first battle against the Japanese here today, and it had already impressed Chief of Staff Wang.

　　At this time, he really thought so. The special operations brigade was so capable that any cooperation from the Fourth War Zone was fine.

　　Lin Fan said with a smile, "The soldiers have worked hard in combat. If we can have meat sent up to replenish their physical strength, that would be our greatest support."

　　Hearing that what Lin Fan needed was this, Chief of Staff Wang said with some disappointment, "Brigade Commander Lin, don't worry, the logistics support will definitely satisfy you.

　　Don't you need any other cooperation?"

　　From his tone, Lin Fan could hear Chief of Staff Wang's hopes. Lin Fan said with a smile, "If the Fourth War Zone can send a regiment or a brigade to assist us in fighting the Japanese, that would be even better.

　　However, this team needs to accept my command when they come, and at the same time, I hope that this team's walkie-talkies will be equipped to the company level."

　　Chief of Staff Wang quickly said, "I will immediately ask Commander Yu for instructions." He knew that Lin Fan had seen through his thoughts.

　　Chief of Staff Wang had no bad intentions. He just thought that the special operations brigade was so strong that if the Fourth War Zone sent a team to follow them and learn from them,

　　they would have a strong army in their hands! The special operations brigade team was brave in combat, and there were no battles they dared not fight or could not fight.

　　However, the disadvantages were also very obvious. The thinking of this team was colored, which was different from President Chiang's thinking.

　　This made it very difficult for the Fourth War Zone to get along with the special operations brigade: the Fourth War Zone had just lost Guangzhou, and its impression in front of Chiang Kai-shek was not good. If it relied too much on the special operations brigade, it was afraid of being implicated.

　　Therefore, it wanted to train its own strong army. Lin Fan was happy to see this.

　　The Fourth War Zone under the management of Yu Hanmou was not strong in combat effectiveness, but it had money in its hands. This was also the only way for the entire National Army to import and export weapons, and their relationship with Britain and the United States was quite good.

　　There was no problem in importing some walkie-talkies! Even if Guangzhou was now occupied by the Japanese, it did not mean that the Fourth War Zone's road to importing equipment was cut off.

　　Lin Fan wanted to promote his way of directly commanding down to the company level, and this kind of command method must have good communication to be carried out.

　　Chief of Staff Wang quickly said, "I will immediately ask Commander Yu for instructions."

　　This was a temporary idea of Chief of Staff Wang, and he had not asked the Fourth War Zone for instructions on this idea in advance. He immediately asked Commander Yu Hanmou of the Fourth War Zone for instructions on this idea.

　　Yu Hanmou agreed to such a good thing without even thinking about it. The current Fourth War Zone was in a time of turmoil and impending doom.

　　Although they had transferred many troops to Wuhan to fight before the war, it was an indisputable fact that they were negligent in defending against the Japanese attack on Guangzhou and were unable to resist.

　　Chiang Kai-shek and the Wuhan headquarters were extremely angry about this and had begun to send people to investigate the responsibility.

　　At this time, if a team could be sent to fight side by side with the special operations brigade and win a beautiful turnaround battle, it could also reduce the punishment that was about to come.

　　This was completely a scene of a child being bullied outside, and the older brother taking the younger brother to find the Japanese to take revenge.

　　The Fourth War Zone headquarters immediately began to discuss which team to send to cooperate. This time, all the teams actively signed up.

　　The combat capability of the special operations brigade had been confirmed in the battle reports sent back this morning and just now. This was a team that could fight enemy planes above, tanks below, and also fight the Japanese in the middle.

　　Following behind them and beating the drums, they could get the reputation of repelling the Japanese. No team did not want to go.

　　Lin Fan stood on the top of the mountain and watched the Japanese infantry quickly rushing towards Hu Xiong and the others.

　　The firepower of the Japanese machine gun position in front of Company Commander Hu was fierce and had stopped the special operations brigade's advance.

　　Lin Fan ordered Company Commander Hu, "Company Commander Hu! Don't rush to attack. After the Japanese infantry comes up, the artillery on the mountain will bombard the Japanese."

　　Hearing Lin Fan's words, Hu Xiong immediately ordered the entire company to stop advancing and start shooting at the Japanese on the spot.

　　Although the infantry's attack had stopped, the artillery's bombardment of the Japanese had not stopped, and it had been maintaining the bombardment of the Japanese machine gun position.

　　Company Commander Nagasawa Emon was in a very difficult situation: his machine gun company had no chance to choose the terrain when it rushed here.

　　He started to build a defense line on the spot, but the special operations brigade people on the opposite side did not give him a chance to dig fortifications.

　　They just kept bombing! Bombing! Bombing!

　　This really killed his machine gun company. Fortunately, the Japanese soldiers in the entire machine gun company still dared to fight desperately.

　　The continuous machine gun fire finally stopped the opposing infantry from attacking, and Company Commander Nagasawa Emon ordered the Japanese soldiers to immediately start building fortifications.

　　Just now, he had asked some of the Japanese soldiers to find natural cover to build a defense line, and now he was turning these natural terrains into fortifications.

　　Although the shells overhead were still falling non-stop, these Japanese soldiers had to continue fighting despite the bombardment.

　　Company Commander Nagasawa Emon had seen a team of infantry speeding up to rush up behind him, which made his nervous mood a little excited.

　　With his machine gun company and some infantry cooperating, this defense line could be stabilized.

　　Battalion Commander Uchida Kamehiden, who was rushing towards the front line, felt full of grievances and shame in his heart: a dignified infantry battalion commander, with only more than sixty Japanese soldiers around him.

　　Even with only so few troops, he had to go to the front line as cannon fodder. The battalion commander acting as cannon fodder was the most unacceptable thing for him.

　　However, he did not dare to say anything about the grievances in his heart about the order issued by Commander Tsuishi Shiro.

　　He looked at the team of Japanese soldiers who were going to reinforce them, a Tangasawa Yūsuke Company composed of more than one hundred and twenty infantry soldiers, which was considered the backbone of the entire team.

　　There was a Shiraishi Shunsuke artillery company composed of sixty-seven Japanese soldiers, and some of these Japanese soldiers did not even have weapons, so they rushed towards the front line empty-handed.

　　And then there were the staff officers and guards of his own battalion headquarters, which he led, and the entire team added up to more than two hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers.

　　But what about the combat effectiveness? Battalion Commander Uchida Kamehiden didn't know what to say!

　　They rushed towards the defense line that the Nagasawa Emon machine gun company had just built, and Company Commander Tangasawa Yūsuke loudly urged the Japanese soldiers under his command, "Faster! Faster!"

　　These Japanese soldiers could clearly see how dangerous the situation in front was from a distance: the opposing National Army team attacking had at least six or seven hundred people.

　　The Japanese soldiers defending in the front had only one machine gun company. Although the machine guns were still firing non-stop, these infantry soldiers could not help but rush to the battlefield as soon as possible.

　　Suzuki Kaede ran empty-handed with the team, and his mood was very nervous: as an artilleryman, when had he ever fought so close to the infantry?

　　This time, he had to fight with the infantry, and he had to fight with the infantry empty-handed. Was he a Japanese soldier who could fight?

　　He was completely turning himself from an artilleryman into cannon fodder!

　　Sergeant Suzuki Kaede, who already had the self-awareness of cannon fodder, could not even run a little slower, and behind him were the staff officers of the Uchida Kamehiden Battalion.

　　These Japanese soldiers had just escaped from the front line, and now they were being forced to go to the front line again, and their mood was also very bad.

　　Staff Officer Shimata Watari was already in a bad mood, and he did not want to be cannon fodder, and he did not want to go to the front line. These two wishes were now broken.

　　Therefore, Staff Officer Shimata Watari vented his anger on the Japanese soldiers of the artillery company, and even Company Commander Shiraishi Shunsuke of the artillery company was scolded by him a few times.

　　Company Commander Shiraishi Shunsuke was now the one who dared not say a word in the entire team. All the artillery of his artillery company was destroyed by bombing, and he was responsible for it all.

　　However, so many Japanese soldiers died in the bombing, but he was not injured at all, which made his guilt even greater.

　　Now he was obviously working very hard to rush forward, but he was still scolded by Staff Officer Shimata Watari.

　　Company Commander Shiraishi Shunsuke, who had no weapons, could only bear it silently and quicken his pace to rush forward.

　　Fortunately, the entire distance was not particularly long. After more than ten minutes, this team of two hundred and fifty had arrived at the battlefield.

　　Lin Fan, who had been standing on the top of the mountain, had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He saw that the Japanese infantry had followed to the front line.

　　He immediately ordered, "Bombard!"

　　With an order, the twenty-five mortars and ten infantry guns that had been prepared on the top of the mountain fired at the Nagasawa Emon machine gun company's position at the same time.

　　The fifteen mortars of the three infantry companies of Hu Xiong and Ren Ce had never stopped bombing.

　　Forty mortars bombing more than three hundred Japanese soldiers at the same time, this time they were going to die.

　　The situation here was related to the life and death of the entire Marine Corps of the Fifth Fleet, and Commander Tsuishi Shiro had been paying attention to it.

　　When he saw Battalion Commander Uchida Kamehiden and his men arrive at the front battlefield smoothly, he was still very satisfied.

　　With this team of two hundred and fifty mixed infantry reinforced to the Nagasawa Emon machine gun company's defense line, the rear was stable.

　　Next, he only needed to wait patiently for rescue. He had already received a telegram from Commander Shiozawa Koichi: the rescuing infantry would arrive tomorrow.

　　Commander Shiozawa Koichi thought that this was a very simple task when he ordered his team to stay in this place for a day and a night.

　　Commander Tsuishi Shiro, who was in the battlefield, was very clear: the team that was besieging him could wipe out the Marine Corps he led in two hours if they wanted to.

　　The smile that had just appeared on his face suddenly froze: the Nagasawa Emon machine gun company was now being bombarded more intensely.

　　The entire defense line was shining with the fire of artillery shells exploding everywhere. This was a way to not let the Nagasawa Emon machine gun company live!

　　Commander Tsuishi Shiro, who had already realized this, suddenly turned into a bitter face, and he dared not look in that direction again.

　　He could only turn his gaze to the defense line that Battalion Commander Fujito Yūki had set up on the hillside. Fortunately, although there were sporadic gunshots on this defense line,

　　the special operations brigade team, which occupied the favorable terrain, did not launch a large-scale counterattack, and the Japanese soldiers on the hillside could still hold on.

　　What to do? He could not give up the rear. Commander Tsuishi Shiro, who could not think of a solution, could only order Battalion Commander Fujito Yūki to send another infantry company to re-establish a defense line on the road.

　　This time, Battalion Commander Fujito Yūki could only order Company Commander Eguchi Ryunosuke to build fortifications on the road under the hillside and connect them with the fortifications on the hillside.

　　In this way, the two infantry companies could still take care of each other, but the entire Marine Corps' defense range was greatly reduced.

　　Their entire defense area was only a narrow defense area of 200 meters vertically and less than 100 meters horizontally.

　　This narrow defense area was what Lin Fan had designated for them. The Japanese soldiers stayed in this area and waited for their reinforcements to arrive.

　　This made it easier for the special operations brigade to wipe out these Japanese soldiers at the fastest speed.
