As soon as the main force retreated, the Japanese launched an attack with their rear foot.
"I was afraid that the Japanese would notice the retreat of the main force of our army, so they attacked." Hao Yuan said.
"Captain, let's quickly enter the position and block the Japanese attack." Digua said.
Leng Tiefeng said: "Order the troops to prepare to attack as a whole and launch a counterattack against the Japanese!"
"What? Countercharge? Captain, we don't have enough troops. If we countercharge, I'm afraid there will be great losses." Ergazi said worriedly...
Leng Tiefeng said: "Obey the order."
"yes!"
Ergazi didn't dare to say anything anymore, so Zhaoyuan came to Leng Tiefeng and said: "Captain Leng, the wolf fangs still need to be used on the blade. Let us counterattack as an independent battalion."
"Okay." Leng Tiefeng nodded.
Hao Yuan pulled out the pistol from his waist and shouted: "Come on!"
The next moment, hundreds of soldiers shouted like mountains and tsunamis, and followed Hao Yuan and rushed towards the Japanese.
The Japs did not expect that the defenders would dare to counterattack, and were very surprised. The Japs commander immediately ordered the entire army to charge and prepare to stab. The next moment, the Japs withdrew their bullets and shouted: "Onboard!" toward the Independent First Battalion. soldiers to kill.
"Onboard!"
A Japanese soldier held a bayonet and charged towards a Hezhe warrior on the opposite side. However, the Hezhe soldier took out a short harpoon from behind and threw it hard. The harpoon came out from behind the Japanese soldier, and the harpoon was castrated. Unabated, he took the Japs out and inserted them into the second Japs. The two Japs fell to the ground like candied haws on a stick. The Japs behind did not die and kept screaming in pain. At this time, Hezhe The sword rushed up, took out the waist knife, and chopped off the heads of the two Japanese with one knife...
"Ah!" The Hezhe warrior roared, raised his sword and killed the next Japanese again.
Hao Yuan took out the harpoon from his back and fought with the Japs. He saw the harpoon flying up and down like mercury leaking to the ground. In a moment, Hao Yuan killed three Japs. A Japs officer saw how brave Hao Yuan was. , and immediately waved his command sword to kill Hao Yuan.
Zhaoyuan swung the harpoon, and there was a clang, gold and iron clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. The harpoon in Zhaoyuan's hand was cut into two pieces by the Japanese command knife.
The Japanese officer's eyes flashed with cold light, and he once again raised his command knife and struck at Hao Yuan. This knife was as powerful as a thunderbolt. Once hit, Hao Yuan's head would be dislocated, and Hao Yuan would be killed at the sight of his enemy.
"Snapped!"
A clear gunshot sounded, and the next moment, the Japanese officer fell to the ground, and saw Digua rushing over with a dozen wolf fangs. Digua held a box gun in his hand, and the muzzle was still green. cigarette.
"Sweet potato, thank you." Hao Yuan said.
Di Gua said: "I tell you, Lao Zhao, no matter how fast the knife is, he is afraid of the gun. There is no morality to talk about with the Japanese. Kill them one by one!"
After Di Gua finished speaking, he headed towards the Japanese formation to kill. It was only then that Hao Yuan saw that the attack tactics of these dozen Wolf Fangs were very unique. The three of them had their backs leaning on each other, each holding a box gun. However, only two of the three had One person shoots in all directions at the same time, and the third person is on standby. When the other two people empty out the bullets in the magazine and replace the ammunition, the other soldier who was waiting before starts shooting. In this way, the firepower can be maintained continuously.
The dozen or so wolves were divided into five combat groups, and they constantly changed magazines and fired continuously, causing the Japanese to fall in pieces. In the end, they had no choice but to rout.
Zhaoyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hundreds of his own troops could not repel the Japs, but as soon as more than a dozen Lang Ya joined in, they immediately reversed the situation and drove back the Japs. The fighting power of Lang Ya was really unacceptable, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but I thought to myself, how great it would be if I could become a member of Langya, even if I, as the battalion commander, quit, it would still be worth it.
The 1st Independent Battalion once again returned to the starting point. However, only about 500 of the 700 or 800 people at the time of departure were left. In other words, in the melee just now, the Independent Battalion lost one-third. With only one force, the number of Japs killed was even greater, which shows how tragic the battle was.
Zhaoyuan said: "Captain Leng, the Japanese have retreated, why don't they pursue them?"
Leng Tiefeng only said one word: "Withdraw!"
"What? Retreat? We just won a battle, why should we retreat?" Hao Yuan asked in confusion.
Everyone looked at Leng Tiefeng. After winning a battle, he should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Why did Leng Tiefeng order a retreat
Digua chuckled and said, "You don't even know, so let me tell you that the Japanese attack just now was because they smelled the withdrawal of our main force, so the Japanese attack just now was just a tentative attack. This is to determine whether our main force has retreated. In this case, we must defeat them. Otherwise, once the devils notice that our main force has left, the little devils will definitely swarm us. By then, all of us will be here. .”
Digua continued: "Now that we have repelled the Japanese attack, the Japanese must think that the main force of our army is still there, so they will continue to surround and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the 37th Division, instead of choosing to attack, and we, Then we can retreat calmly, so in that battle just now, we shouldn’t have attacked, but we had to attack, and now in this battle, it seems that we are going to pursue, but we have to retreat.”
After listening to Digua's explanation, everyone thought to themselves: "I see. I didn't expect Captain Leng to be so resourceful. It's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers. He has been with the Xu Rui regiment for a long time, and they are all difficult characters to deal with."
At that moment, Leng Tiefeng ordered people to retreat immediately, while he himself led the Langya Breakers and quietly withdrew from the outer positions of Jiamusi, but the Japanese still knew nothing about it.
At this time, Hitoshi Yagyu had received news that Xu Rui's main force might retreat, so he sent an army to attack for a test. However, judging from the results of the test, Xu Rui's main force did not seem to have left.
Hitoshi Yagyu couldn't help but feel relieved, and ordered: "Order all ministries not to attack easily before reinforcements arrive, so as not to cause unnecessary losses. Once the artillery of the 37th Division arrives, it will be time for us to counterattack!"
Chief of Staff Shiratori said from the side: "General, I always feel something is wrong. Do you want to try attacking again?"
Hitoshi Yagyu said: "Haven't we already tested it? There is no need to use more lives of the imperial army to test it. We just need to wait patiently. Xu Ruibu just won a small victory and will definitely send troops to pursue the victory. We will definitely We must hold our ground and Xu Rui cannot take advantage of us.”
"All right."
Seeing that Yagyu Hitoshi had made up his mind, Shiratori could only nod helplessly.
Time passed by, and a full three hours later, there was still no news about Xu Rui's expected attack. Yagyu Hitoshi was puzzled, thinking that Xu Rui had just won the battle, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but disappeared? What's up
"No, I've fallen into a trap!" Shiratori exclaimed, and then said to Hitoshi Yagyu, "General, I'm afraid Xu Rui has run away after getting the news that our reinforcements are about to arrive."
"Shiratori-kun, don't make such a fuss." Hitoshi Yagyu didn't believe it.
Shiratori was so anxious that his face was covered with sweat, and he said: "Your Excellency, General, I request to personally lead an army to attack."
Hitoshi Yagyu still looked indifferent. Bai Niao said: "General, if we really let Xu Rui escape, Marshal Fengwen Yamashita will definitely punish us!"
Shiratori's words finally moved Yagyu Hitoshi, and Yagyu Hitoshi said: "Okay, then you can try an attack with a large group. Remember, if you encounter strong resistance, withdraw immediately and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Wait Cannons to solve problems.”
"Hai!"
Shiratori responded, immediately mobilized his troops and issued an order to attack. However, to the surprise of the Japanese, this time, the Japanese progressed extremely smoothly. They did not even encounter any resistance and successfully invaded. to Jiamusi.
However, there was no trace of joy on Bai Niao's face, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
"It's broken. I fell into Xu Rui's trap and let him run away again!"
When Shiratori reported the news from the front line to Hitoshi Yagyu, Hitoshi Yagyu was shocked and couldn't help sighing. What a great opportunity, but Xu Rui slipped away without him noticing.
"Shiratori-san, where do you think Xu Rui and the others will go?" Yanage Hitoshi asked.
Bai Niao looked at the map, pointed at it and said: "Now it seems that Xu Rui has three routes of action, one is to attack Boli, one is to attack Mudanjiang, and the other is to attack Harbin."
"Which path will he choose?" Hitomo Yagyu asked.
"Based on what I know about Xu Rui, Xu Rui is most likely going to attack Harbin."
Cold sweat immediately soaked the back of Yangyu Hitoshi's clothes. Harbin is the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Army and one of the central cities in the Northeast. If Harbin is lost, the main force of the Far Eastern Front in the Primorsky Krai will not be able to fight and will have to return. Withdrawing all the way, I am afraid that my role as division commander will come to an end.
Thinking of this, Hitoshi Yagyu immediately regained consciousness and issued orders one after another in the shortest possible time, asking all the units of the 32nd Division and the remaining troops from various places who cooperated with him to immediately pursue Xu Rui's troops in the direction of Harbin.
At the same time, Hitoshi Yagyu sent a message to the 37th Division, asking the 37th Division to intercept Xu Rui's troops in the Tangyuan area.
Hitoshi Yagyu's eyes were red, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Rui had already bypassed Tang Yuan and advanced towards Yilan, the important rear town of the Japanese. At the same time, Xu Rui sent a guard regiment to attack Andako. Under the leadership of his husband, he advanced towards Mudanjiang from another road. At this time, the hinterland of the Northeast was extremely empty, and Xu Rui's troops seemed to be in a deserted land.
Xu Rui plans to advance in two directions this time, attacking Harbin and Mudanjiang at the same time. In Xu Rui's words, he wants to imitate Monkey King, turn the enemy upside down in his belly, and kill him every seven in and seven out!
