Inoue Yuki's request for assistance was treated as the top priority. The 11th Army Headquarters immediately issued an attack order to the Kobayashi Regiment.

An entire regiment of nearly five thousand Japanese soldiers was dispatched to reinforce Mabuiling. This was the last reserve force that Okamura Neiji had left in Jiujiang, specifically to prepare for such emergencies.

Normally, reinforcements for a place like Mabuiling wouldn't require as many as five thousand soldiers, but its proximity to Jiujiang and convenient transportation made it different.

Five thousand soldiers could move freely, rescuing Mabuiling today and returning to Jiujiang tomorrow.

Using overwhelming force to crush the National Revolutionary Army's counter-attacking troops could eliminate any ideas of further counter-attacks, discouraging them from even considering such actions in the future.

It was due to these considerations that Okamura Neiji decided to send an infantry regiment to Mabuiling Station.

His orders were immediately executed. Within ten minutes of the order being issued, the 1st Battalion of the Kobayashi Tadamasa Regiment had boarded the train.

These Japanese soldiers and their equipment completely filled ten carriages. This time, all five thousand soldiers were traveling together, with the long train stretching over forty carriages.

To ensure speed, the train had a locomotive attached to both the front and the rear, pulling and pushing to maintain speed.

After all, the distance from Jiujiang to Mabuiling was only thirty kilometers, a journey of just half an hour.

The Japanese soldiers of the Kobayashi Tadamasa Regiment positioned machine guns on the locomotives and on top of the carriages, with one purpose: to be ready for any sudden situation.

The attack on the north was led by the Takahashi Yusuke Company, the two strongest companies of the 2nd Regiment, 1st and 2nd Companies, along with Ning Hezheng’s regiment supporting them.

The sight of the 1st and 2nd Companies pushing twelve carts in the lead was an eye-opener for Regiment Commander Ning.

Those twelve unassuming carts could actually act like tanks, pushing forward directly through a hail of bullets, with the advantage of being able to traverse any terrain, unlike tanks.

Bullets hitting the carts only made a "ding-dang" sound, causing no harm to the soldiers sheltering behind them.

The heavy machine guns on the carts suppressed the Japanese machine gun fire, much to the envy of Regiment Commander Ning.

Just as he thought that Company Commander Shi would continue advancing like this, Shi Junxia stopped and loudly ordered, "Mortars! Immediately bombard the rear of the Japanese forces!"

The mortar shells of the 1st and 2nd Companies had been exchanged with Regiment Commander Ning’s men, and they were now using the freshly captured, still-warm poison gas shells.

As each shell exploded on the Takahashi Yusuke Company’s defense line, it caught the Takahashi Company, which had no gas masks, and the newly arrived Kato Kazuki machine gun squad completely off guard.

Poison gas was all-pervasive. The Japanese had always used it themselves, but their protective equipment could not be issued to all infantrymen.

The national strength of Japan could not support such expenditure. Therefore, they allocated protective equipment to units using poison gas shells.

The 1st and 2nd Companies had just annihilated the Japanese poison gas team, capturing more than three hundred sets of protective equipment, and now was the time to use them.

The Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Yusuke Company no longer struggled. Those who were quick-witted dropped their weapons and ran to the rear.

The slower ones continued to defend their positions, but the poison gas was all-pervasive. Even if they covered their mouths and noses with wet towels, they could not prevent the gas from attacking their eyes.

The eyes of those Japanese soldiers who remained on the position were red and constantly tearing. At this moment, a group of people wearing protective equipment charged up.

These people who charged up were holding Arisaka rifles, with no other distinguishing features visible from head to toe.

The Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Company thought that they were being rescued by their own people. But when these people rushed up to them and thrust bayonets into their chests, the Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Company realized that they were actually Chinese soldiers.

Squad Leader Kimura Kazuki and his squad had stubbornly refused to flee. These thirty-odd Japanese soldiers, with tears streaming from their eyes and their vision blurred, tied wet towels behind their heads, raised their rifles, and charged toward the 1st and 2nd Company soldiers wearing full protective gear.

Faced with these Japanese soldiers who were still resisting in the gas-filled area, Company Commander Shi did not give them any chance.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Companies, protected by their gear, were completely unimpeded by the poison gas.

Kimura Kazuki's squad of Japanese soldiers were no match for them in bayonet combat even under normal circumstances, let alone now.

Squad Leader Kimura Kazuki fell without even landing a blow. The situation was the same for his subordinates.

Company Commander Takahashi Yusuke was one of the first to realize the danger, and the Japanese soldiers of the Kato Kazuki machine gun squad were also very quick to react.

They rushed out of the gas-filled area. Squad Leader Kato Kazuki saw that at least thirty soldiers had run out with him. Casualties were light, which was a good thing.

However, not a single soldier in the entire squad had brought a gun or was carrying a gun. This was a serious problem.

They were a machine gun squad, but what kind of squad was it without machine guns?

It was as if the entire Kato machine gun squad had deliberately come to the battlefield to deliver machine guns to the Chinese army, delivering the machine guns and then retreating immediately, waiting for the Chinese soldiers to collect them.

This situation infuriated Squad Leader Kato Kazuki. What could a machine gun squad do without machine guns?

He could only dejectedly lead the remaining thirty or so soldiers of his squad to report to Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki.

Company Commander Takahashi looked at the remaining soldiers around him, also less than thirty. In just a short time, his company had not only lost its position, but more than a hundred soldiers had died.

They were, after all, infantry, and most of the thirty or so soldiers who had escaped had guns, even if they were all rifles, they were still weapons, weren't they?

They had now retreated from their position and had no heavy weapons. Company Commander Takahashi had no choice but to follow behind Kato's squad and continue to retreat.

Regiment Commander Ning watched the 1st and 2nd Companies attack the Japanese positions as if it were a game, capturing the position in a single charge.

With poison gas spreading ahead, his regiment and the heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry guns of the 1st and 2nd Companies avoided the gas cloud and continued to charge forward.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Companies did not stay long in the gas-filled area, not even clearing the battlefield.

There was no need to clear such a battlefield. Wounded Japanese soldiers could not survive in the poison gas for more than half an hour. It would not be too late to clear the battlefield after the gas had dissipated.

The attack in the direction of the 1st and 2nd Companies quickly returned to normal, and they continued to charge forward.

The direction of attack for the 3rd and 4th Companies was to the west, and the situation was similar: infantry charging with the two companies' heavy machine guns pushed forward to block the Japanese machine gun bullets.

When the Oda Girei Kohei Company was bombarded, it had already reported to Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki: The Oda Girei Kohei Company was subjected to heavy artillery bombardment, and more than half of the entire company was lost.

His company was unlucky, and two rockets exploded in the middle of the Japanese soldiers.

These two rockets alone caused the Oda Girei Company to suffer casualties equivalent to an entire squad of Japanese soldiers.

When the 3rd and 4th Companies charged up, Company Commander Oda Girei Kohei discovered that there were fewer than a hundred Japanese soldiers left on the entire defense line who could still fight.

How could they fight such a battle? Company Commander Oda Girei Kohei kept requesting reinforcements from Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki.

However, Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki had already sent all the mobile forces at his disposal to reinforce the North Sea Company and the Takahashi Company.

Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki was now pinning all his hopes on the Ueno Haruhito cavalry battalion.

He hoped that this cavalry battalion could quickly come to reinforce the Oda Girei Company after repelling the Chinese soldiers attacking from the east.

Company Commander Oda Girei Kohei angrily threw down the microphone. His company would not last even ten minutes. How could they hold out until the arrival of the Ueno Haruhito cavalry battalion?

No matter how angry Company Commander Oda Girei Kohei was, he could not help but retreat in the face of reality.

So he could only order: "Hold the line! The battalion commander has sent the Ueno cavalry battalion over, and they will be able to reach the battlefield in five minutes." This was a benevolent lie. He hoped that the entire Oda Girei Kohei Company could hold out for five minutes.

When that time came, he would weave another benevolent lie so that these Japanese soldiers could continue to hold on with hope, until Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito really led the cavalry battalion over.

Company Commander Oda Girei Kohei's idea was correct, and there was nothing wrong with his approach.

The current problem was that the firepower of the Chinese army attacking on the opposite side was too strong, making the entire company's defense line precarious, and it was impossible to hold it for five minutes.

It wasn't that the Japanese soldiers were unwilling to defend their position, but that the Chinese army was too strong, and the Japanese soldiers couldn't hold it.

The heavy machine guns that the 3rd and 4th Companies pushed to the front of the charge could suppress the Japanese machine gun fire. The Oda Girei Kohei Company had only six light machine guns, not even a single heavy machine gun.

Moreover, two of their machine guns had been destroyed in the rocket bombardment just now.

Now the four light machine guns were being suppressed by the twelve heavy machine guns, and the Japanese soldiers in this direction were unable to move.

They were not the most miserable. The most miserable was the Nakajo Kaito Company defending the east.

After surviving the artillery bombardment, the Japanese soldiers of the Nakajo Kaito Company were immediately greeted by the 5th and 6th Companies, leading a regiment of Chinese soldiers.

These were the standard forces for attacking Mabuiling today, but this direction was the main focus of the attack, and the Special Operations Brigade had come from this direction.

Therefore, the anti-aircraft machine gun company cooperated with the 5th and 6th Companies to suppress the Japanese soldiers with firepower.

Shi Yi, the regimental commander of the 66th Army, who was acting with the 5th and 6th Companies, personally witnessed a cloud of smoke rising from the Japanese defense line.

This was the rocket artillery company of the Special Operations Brigade bombarding the area. The entire 66th Army combined could not achieve such firepower density!

Regimental Commander Shi Yi was extremely envious: having equipment was truly remarkable.

Then he saw the two companies of the Special Operations Brigade taking the lead in the charge, which moved him greatly.

The troops charging in the front suffered the most casualties, but the next scene almost made his jaw drop.

The two companies were pushing twelve carts equipped with heavy machine guns in front of them, seemingly unafraid of the hail of bullets fired by the Japanese soldiers. These carts simply pushed forward, stopping from time to time to focus their fire on the Japanese firing points.

Behind these twelve carts were the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Companies. Just as Regimental Commander Shi Yi thought that the battle would continue in this manner,

suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire erupted from behind him, and a stream of bullets with red tracers shot toward the Japanese position.

The Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches had built gun mounts out of sandbags.

Under the barrage of bullets, even the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the sandbags were being hit.

This terrified the Japanese soldiers, who had originally thought they were safe, and they no longer dared to lie prone on the edge of the trenches to fire.

This meant that they had no chance to shoot the charging Chinese soldiers.

When the sound of the machine guns behind Regimental Commander Shi Yi rang out, no more gunshots came from the opposite Japanese position.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Companies advanced rapidly, charging straight toward the Japanese defense line.

The Japanese soldiers of the Nakajo Kaito Company were completely pinned down by the anti-aircraft machine guns, and they had no power to resist.

When Jin Rongcheng, the company commander of the 5th Company, reached a position forty meters from the Japanese position, he shouted loudly, "Hand grenades!"

The soldiers in the front row threw a volley of hand grenades, and at this time, the anti-aircraft machine guns behind them extended their fire.

As the hand grenades exploded, the 5th and 6th Companies had already stormed into the Nakajo Kaito Company's defense line.

Then more Chinese soldiers charged up, and the Nakajo Kaito Company, with fewer than a hundred soldiers, was immediately surrounded and killed by the swarming Chinese soldiers.

Such combat made the soldiers of Shi Yi's regiment very excited. Once they were on the battlefield, all these infantrymen had to do was charge.

The Japanese resistance was pitifully weak, and when they charged into the trenches to fight the Japanese soldiers in close combat, three or four soldiers could deal with one Japanese soldier.

The officers and soldiers of the 66th Army had also learned some training experience from the Special Operations Brigade in Jurong.

They also had an advantage in fighting the Japanese soldiers in close combat. Now, with three or four people dealing with one Japanese soldier, it was like catching a turtle in a jar, a sure thing.

When all the Japanese soldiers of the Nakajo Kaito Company had died, the reinforcements it had called for finally arrived:

The 106th Cavalry Battalion, with more than four hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers, charged onto the battlefield on horseback.

As soon as they appeared, they were targeted by the anti-aircraft machine gun company in the distance, followed by the sweeping fire of the twelve heavy machine guns pushed to the front by the 5th and 6th Companies.

When the soldiers of the 5th and 6th Companies saw the Japanese cavalry charging, they finally paused their advance.

The twelve carts stopped moving, and the accuracy of the twelve heavy machine guns increased greatly.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito led the cavalry charge at the front, his saber pointing towards the Chinese army ahead.

As long as this cavalry force of four hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers could charge into the infantry formation of more than a thousand men in front of them, it would be a victory.

If infantry were charged by cavalry, they would be lambs to the slaughter. This was something that both sides knew on the battlefield.

The two companies of the Special Operations Brigade and the soldiers of this regiment of the Chinese army were all aware of this, and everyone lay prone on the ground, firing their rifles, machine guns, and rocket launchers at the charging cavalry.

The twelve heavy machine guns in the front were even more so. They had stopped and were now focused on sweeping the charging Japanese cavalry.

The bullets fired by the twelve heavy machine guns were like twelve scythes of the Grim Reaper reaping back and forth in the middle of the Ueno Haruhito cavalry battalion.

Company Commander Rokkaku Kazuo looked at the gun barrels in front of him that were constantly spitting out flames and felt anxious.

The unit they were encountering today was somewhat different. The biggest difference was that their firepower was too strong.

The anti-aircraft machine guns sweeping from a distance were already too much for them to bear, and there were also twelve heavy machine guns lined up nearby, like fortresses.

At this time, the heavy and light machine guns of Shi Yi's regiment of the Chinese army were also firing.

Shi Yi's regiment had more than 1,500 men, ten companies. Each company had one heavy machine gun and six light machine guns.

Their joining in the sweeping fire against the Japanese cavalry doubled the pressure on the Japanese.

The Japanese soldiers of the Oda Haruki Company tried to rush over from the flank. Company Commander Oda Haruki shook the saber in his hand, leading more than a hundred cavalrymen away from the main battlefield.

Charging towards the left, Company Commander Nakama Haruhito also thought the same way. He also waved his saber, leading more than a hundred Japanese soldiers away from the main battlefield, and advanced towards the right wing of this Chinese army.

The Rokkaku Kazuo Company became the only company on the main battlefield, and they were still charging forward through a hail of bullets.

In order to cope with the charge of the Japanese cavalry on the left and right flanks, the defensive attacking force had to divide some of its firepower.

In order to achieve the goal of breaking into the Chinese army's position as soon as possible, Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito shouted loudly: "Charge! Speed up the charge!"

The cavalrymen of the Rokkaku Kazuo Company behind him had to continue to speed up, but Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito did not notice that there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers following him.

This was not because some Japanese cavalrymen had deserted, but because when these Japanese soldiers charged to within five hundred meters of the twelve heavy machine guns, the pressure suddenly increased.

This was because the Japanese cavalry had charged closer, and the power of the rifles began to show.

In any case, there were two thousand infantrymen in front of them, at least fifteen hundred Type 38 rifles were waiting for them.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito heard the sound of bullets whizzing past him and was secretly surprised. This unit was different from the units he had seen before.

His battalion had charged to within three hundred meters of the enemy, but the enemy was still not in disarray.

"Charge!" Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito shouted again, this time he specially looked back at the entire team.

He saw that there was one company charging on each of the left and right flanks, and only one company following behind.

This was nothing. No matter which direction the Oda Haruki Company and the Nakama Haruhito Company attacked from, as long as they were attacking, it was the same.

What made Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito unable to issue the order was that there were less than fifty Japanese soldiers left in the Rokkaku Kazuo Company following him.

He clearly knew that there were one hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers when the Rokkaku Kazuo Company set out. In such a short period of time, one hundred cavalrymen had died! This was a loss that he could not bear.

In fact, the casualties of the entire Ueno Haruhito cavalry battalion were even greater, but he had not been able to see the specific casualties of the Japanese soldiers on the left and right flanks in a hurry.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito was somewhat embarrassed: Their cavalry had charged to within three hundred meters of the carts in front, and it would only take a dozen seconds to charge in such a short distance.

But was there any point in charging down with a force of less than fifty cavalrymen?

As he was thinking, Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito saw that Company Commander Rokkaku Kazuo, who had just been waving his saber and shouting orders to speed up the charge, fell down with his horse.

When he fell down while charging so fast, Rokkaku Kazuo would not survive whether he was injured or not.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito had no way out, he could only shout loudly: "Charge! Charge! Charge!"

They could only charge into the Chinese army in front of them and disrupt the Chinese army's resistance to have a chance of survival.

Company Commander Jin Rongcheng was also giving orders: "First, second, and third platoons, shoot at the Japanese soldiers charging on the left flank! Shoot the man first, then the horse!

The fourth and fifth platoons, the first platoon of the sixth company, shoot at the Japanese soldiers charging in the middle. The remaining platoons of the sixth company shoot at the Japanese soldiers on the left flank.

The Shi Yi Regiment, the first, second, and third companies attack the left flank, the fourth, fifth, and sixth companies attack the middle, and the remaining companies attack the right flank.

Rocket launchers, concentrate your fire and blow up these Japanese soldiers charging in the middle!"

The current situation was that the number of Japanese cavalry charging in the middle was the smallest, and the distance was the closest.

Company Commander Jin was prepared to annihilate this group of Japanese soldiers in the middle as soon as possible! The Japanese soldiers charged quickly, and the rocket launchers of the 5th and 6th Companies fired quickly.

The rockets fired by Su Wencheng and the others exploded near Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito, and thousands of tiny iron pellets suddenly flew in the entire space.

His mount was hit by an unknown number of shrapnel and fell down at once. Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito, who was riding on the warhorse, could not stabilize his body at all, and his entire body flew up from the saddle at once.

He flew more than ten meters at once, fell to the ground, and did not even make a struggling movement, just fell to the ground motionless.

There were less than twenty Japanese soldiers following him who were still charging. These Japanese soldiers were finally afraid. The road ahead was less than two hundred meters away, but Konoe Yakei felt that he would never be able to rush into the middle of the Chinese army.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito was dead, and Company Commander Rokkaku Kazuo was also dead. Now his rank was the highest.

Company Commander Konoe Yakei could no longer change the decision: Escaping at this time was no different from courting death.

Even if they turned around to escape now, they would have to run hundreds of meters through the Chinese army's hail of bullets to escape.

In the current situation, Company Commander Konoe Yakei did not have the slightest confidence that he could escape.

Since both sides were dead, he could only take the last ten or so Japanese soldiers to their deaths.

The fewer Japanese soldiers charging on the main battlefield, the more concentrated the firepower to strike them. The anti-aircraft machine guns that had been supporting them from a distance had already shifted their targets and were sweeping the Japanese cavalry on the left and right flanks.

Even so, the three platoons plus the shooting of three companies of infantry made it impossible for Company Commander Konoe Yakei and these few Japanese cavalrymen to have the chance to enter within a hundred meters, and they fell down.

Company Commander Jin continued to order: "The fifth company deal with the left wing, the sixth company deal with the right wing, the first to fifth companies of the Shi Yi Regiment deal with the left wing, and the sixth to tenth companies deal with the right wing."

With division of labor and cooperation, the goals of each company were clear. The unit attacking in the middle had been completely wiped out, and this situation made the Japanese soldiers on the left and right flanks somewhat afraid.

Company Commander Oda Haruki was a little flustered. He had felt that following behind the Rokkaku Kazuo Company, the attacking front was not far away, so he had taken the initiative to run to the left wing.

This combat method had been used many times in the past. After all, their attacking directions had changed from one to three, and the firepower of the defenders also had to make corresponding adjustments.

The Chinese army's firepower would only become one-third of what it used to be, which was very beneficial to the charge of the Japanese cavalry.

There was only one thing that Company Commander Oda Haruki had not expected: The Rokkaku Kazuo Company had been completely wiped out so quickly.

This was the first time since the establishment of the 106th Division that a cavalry company had been annihilated in full force.

The cavalry had always regarded coming and going like the wind and acting like foxes as its guidelines. When fighting with infantry, even if they could not win, they could rely on their high-speed mobility to run away.

This time, the Rokkaku Kazuo Company had not escaped. This was not a good sign.

Company Commander Nakama Haruhito also thought the same way. When his company first arrived on the right wing, they had enjoyed the benefit of not being shot by a hail of bullets for a while.

But the closer they got to the Chinese army's defense line, the more geometrically the defense capability on the opposite side increased.

Especially after the Rokkaku Kazuo Company was completely wiped out, the Japanese soldiers of the Nakama Haruhito Company all believed that the Chinese army was using all its main firepower to deal with them.

These Japanese soldiers were only three hundred meters away from the Chinese army's position in front, which was an embarrassing distance. If they continued to charge, they could charge into the Chinese army's position in just twenty seconds.

If they retreated at this distance, they could also escape quickly without being chased too much.

This embarrassing distance made Company Commander Nakama Haruhito hesitate for a moment. When he saw the Japanese corpses that had fallen in the middle, his decision came out: "Charge!"

Company Commander Nakama Haruhito thought that Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito had already fed the bullets to the whole team in order to create an opportunity to attack, and was killed on the spot.

If he could not kill the Chinese army captain on the opposite side and take some heads back, his company commander would not be able to explain it to Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki.

As for whether continuing to charge would cause his subordinates to suffer a few more casualties, this was within the acceptable range of casualties. How could there be no casualties on the battlefield.

As long as the final victory was in hand, there was no need to care about the casualties!

He believed that as long as his company insisted on continuing to attack, the Oda Haruki Company would not dare to retreat.

Company Commander Nakama Haruhito's estimate was correct. When Company Commander Oda Haruki saw the Japanese cavalry attacking on the right wing still accelerating, he immediately waved his saber: "Charge!"

He could only ignore the hail of bullets coming head-on. Cavalry had always been like this, attacking through the hail of bullets coming from the opposite side. When they had not charged into the Chinese army's position, it was the Japanese cavalry who were being beaten.

When the Japanese cavalry charged into the position, it was the Chinese soldiers who were slaughtered.

Sergeant Nanao Taya was riding on a warhorse, holding a gun and had been charging all the time. After receiving the reinforcement order, their cavalry battalion rushed to this defense line.

They found that the Nakajo Kaito Company, which was originally defending here, had been completely wiped out, and their defense line had been broken through by the Chinese army.

Battalion Commander Ueno Haruhito immediately ordered the entire battalion to launch an attack, preparing to disperse this Chinese army.

From this moment on, Sergeant Nanao Taya had been charging all the time, and he had not fired the rifle in his hand.

Riding a charging warhorse and shooting had a chance of hitting the target of one in a hundred. It was better for him to concentrate on lying on the warhorse and preparing to have a good fight after charging into the opponent's position.

His Oda Company soon transferred from the main battlefield to the left wing charge, and was now less than three hundred meters away from the position in front.

Sergeant Nanao Taya found that more and more Japanese soldiers were falling around him, and the bullets coming from the opposite side seemed to be denser.

"If this continues, I will die too!" Sergeant Nanao Taya no longer had the ambition he had when he launched the attack.

Now he had only one thought: escape quickly!

Although this idea was correct, Sergeant Nanao also knew that now was not a good time to escape.

The entire Oda Haruki Company had already charged to within a distance of two hundred meters. At this distance, the attacks they would encounter whether they escaped or continued to charge were the same.

Now he could only close his eyes and continue to charge forward. The remaining Japanese soldiers in the entire Oda Haruki Company had similar thoughts.

Company Commander Oda Haruki was now regretting it: He should have retreated just now.

The Nakajo Kaito infantry company was all dead, so why were the cavalry showing off?

It was most important to retreat directly and preserve strength. Now the Rokkaku Kazuo Company was dead, and there were less than one squad of Japanese soldiers left in his company.

He looked at the Nakama Haruhito Company on the right wing. There were even fewer Japanese soldiers left, and it was obvious that they were finished.

Finished! This was the last thought in Company Commander Oda Haruki's mind. He was hit in the forehead by a bullet from an anti-aircraft machine gun and died without any fear.

He brought the fear to Nanao Taya behind him. Nanao Taya saw the captain's head suddenly explode, and the flying brain and blood splattered all over him.

The long face of the warhorse was also splashed with a lot of it. The warhorse he was riding on was startled and neighed, standing upright.

It suddenly increased the area of ​​the bullet hit, and was then hit by several bullets. The warhorse fell down together with Nanao Taya.

The warhorse that fell to the ground was still neighing, but Nanao Taya did not even make the slightest struggling movement, just lying quietly on the ground.

Company Commander Oda Haruki was dead, and Squad Leader Aso Jun Saburo immediately took over the command.

It loudly ordered: "Charge! Charge!" There were less than one squad of Japanese soldiers left in the entire company who could hear its orders.

It had already reached this point, what could Squad Leader Aso Jun Taro do?

It could only continue to lead the remaining Japanese soldiers to the road to the underworld. The Japanese cavalry on the left and right flanks were all rushing towards the road to death. It was not that they did not want to brake, but they could not do anything, they were already on the road to death.

The fewer Japanese cavalry left, the more infantrymen there were aiming at them for accurate shooting. At this time, the soldiers in the Shi Yi Regiment had understood: This Japanese cavalry battalion was finished.

These Japanese cavalrymen who were charging were also finished. With their minds at ease and no longer nervous, these soldiers were steady in their minds and steady in their hands, and the bullets they fired were steady.

At a distance of more than one hundred meters, as long as they were not flustered and their hands did not shake, it was not difficult to hit a warhorse.

If ten people aimed at a warhorse and shot at the same time, it would be difficult not to hit! Under this situation, Squad Leader Aso Jun Saburo despairingly saw that more and more of the Japanese soldiers he was commanding were losing their horses' front hooves.

In the end, only it was still insisting on charging. Squad Leader Aso Jun Saburo shouted tragically, waving his saber. There were still a full hundred meters to the position in front.

It knew that it would never be able to charge up again. The angry Aso Jun Saburo threw the saber in its hand hard towards the front.

Hoping that a miracle would happen, so that its saber could be inserted into the chest of the Chinese soldiers in front.

The miracle it hoped for did not happen, but its own chest was pierced by a bullet.

When the saber landed, the body of Squad Leader Aso Jun Saburo also fell to the ground at the same time.

Company Commander Nakama Haruhito regretted for a longer time than Company Commander Oda Haruki. When it led the Japanese soldiers of the entire company to charge into a distance of two hundred meters.

It constantly heard the sound of warhorses falling beside it. Every time a warhorse fell, a Japanese soldier would die.

At this time, it regretted it, regretting that it had not been able to make the decision to retreat one hundred meters ago.

Even if it retreated at that time and was reprimanded by Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki and slapped dozens of times, it would be much better than the current situation.

At least Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki's slaps would not kill it, at most it would just cause it to become deaf!

It followed the entire company to charge forward, and it had been regretting it in its heart. Now that things had come to this, it could only continue to charge forward.

The future was as it had expected: the more it charged, the more dense the hail of bullets in front was.

These Japanese soldiers simply could not charge in. Company Commander Nakama Haruhito did not know that now two thousand people were all shooting at its less than fifty cavalry Japanese soldiers.

On average, one Japanese soldier had to suffer the attack of forty soldiers. Under this situation, how many seconds could they still struggle?

When Company Commander Nakama Haruhito fell down, it finally did not have to regret it anymore. The Japanese cavalry 106th Battalion was completely wiped out.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers of the Oda Giri Kohei Squad, who were destined to be unable to hold the defense line, had already been completely wiped out.

The 3rd and 4th Companies did not give them a chance to escape, and the twelve heavy machine guns had been constantly advancing.

The less than one hundred Japanese soldiers of the Oda Giri Kohei Company were unable to defend against the charge of the two thousand Chinese soldiers, and they did not even have the ability to escape.

This group of Japanese soldiers was completely wiped out on the defense line.

From the time the Chinese army launched the bombing to the present, only twenty minutes had just passed, and the bad news that Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki received one after another: the eastern defense line was broken through by the Chinese army, the northern defense line was broken through by the Chinese army, and the western defense line was broken through by the Chinese army.

The Chinese army broke through, let it break through! What made Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki even more panicked was that less than one hundred of the Japanese soldiers in these three directions had returned.

The Ueno Haruhito cavalry battalion of four hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers that it sent out was completely wiped out.

Now it had already seen the ending of the Japanese troops staying in Mabuiling: complete annihilation!

A regiment that had set out from Jiujiang was already on the road, but: a distant water cannot quench the present thirst.

It took thirty minutes to get over from Jiujiang, and it would take at least ten minutes to assemble the troops and get on the bus!

From the time it made the call for help to this time, only twenty minutes had passed. If the Japanese soldiers who came to support were quick, they might have already set off at this time.

If they were a little slower, they might still be getting on the bus at this time!

Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki's guess was correct. It was not a short time for a regiment of infantry to suddenly move out in twenty minutes.

After all, the entire regiment still had so many artillery pieces that needed to be loaded onto the bus, and it took time to load and fix the artillery pieces on the bus.

Although Regiment Commander Kobayashi Tadamasa had been urging them, the Japanese soldiers had only just set off at this time.

Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki only needed to consider one thing at this time: how to hold on for thirty minutes.

In normal times, thirty minutes could pass in a flash. It took him a quarter of an hour just to clean the tea set when he tasted a cup of tea.

Today, Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki felt for the first time that time was passing so slowly.

The sound of gunfire on the south defense line had also stopped, and not a single Japanese soldier had returned. The Japanese soldiers that Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki could command now were only the thirty remaining Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Yusuke Company, the thirty Japanese soldiers of the Kato Kazuki Company, the seventy Japanese soldiers of the battalion headquarters, and the two hundred lightly wounded Japanese soldiers in the field hospital, plus two hundred and fifty doctors and nurses, and four hundred and fifty Japanese soldiers carrying stretchers, thirty signal soldiers, and two hundred and fifty engineers.

The total number of Japanese soldiers who could move added up to the number of an infantry battalion, but their combined combat power was probably not enough for the combat power of one or two infantry companies.

Even so, Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki had no choice but to concentrate all these more than one thousand Japanese soldiers in the several courtyards around the headquarters.

The combat power of these Japanese soldiers was not strong. In order to prevent them from escaping and surrendering, Battalion Commander Inoue Yuki not only assigned the remaining Japanese soldiers of the Takahashi Company to various squads to serve as captains.

He also specially drew forty Japanese soldiers from the battalion headquarters to form eight supervising teams. All Japanese soldiers who dared to retreat even one step would be executed on the spot.

Its battalion headquarters was next to the Second Field Hospital. The current defense happened to protect the Japanese soldiers in the hospital who were completely unable to fight.

When Lin Fan knew that the Japanese soldiers had been surrounded in a small area, Liu Laopao suggested: "Brigade Commander! Let's use the shells we just seized."

These poison gas shells were only seized today. They had only used a little bit just now, and there were still a lot of shells that had not been used.

Lin Fan was a person who was good at accepting advice.
