The counterattack of more than one squadron failed unexpectedly.
Katanyuki knew that the troops could no longer hold on, and now they could only strengthen their defense and wait for orders from the detachment.
"Captain, what should we do next?"
Katano sighed, waved his hand and said, "Send a telegram to the detachment headquarters and inquire about the next phase of the movement."
Soon, the order from the Sakamoto detachment was delivered to Katano Sadami.
This was a rather irresponsible order.
The content can be simply summarized as: fight on your own and respond with camera.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Almost all day today, we suffered a large-scale counterattack from the Chinese army.
Katano Sadami threw away the telegram and made arrangements for the troops in his hands.
"Order that the main force of the two brigades shrink the skirmishers on the periphery and concentrate on guarding the existing positions.
The artillery will use the remaining artillery shells.
If necessary, the artillery can be blown up and be ready to retreat to the Honglukou area at any time."
"Yes" Zhang Wei just recovered and put down the 38 rifle in his hand.
The soldiers around him were covered in blood.
Some were seriously injured.
They were lying on the ground and wailing.
The uninjured ones were cleaning up the mess while picking up the wounded soldiers. , all the injured were gathered aside, and the second battalion commander limped over.
A large bloody hole was exposed on his left arm.
It seemed that he had been hit by a 38-meter rifle.
Zhang Wei stood up and helped the second battalion commander.
The two sat down slowly, and the second battalion commander smiled.
Said: "Thank you, this battle is too dangerous.
Our battalion cannot continue the main attack now."
"The Japanese can't stand it, and they can't organize a counterattack.
The 23rd Regiment is still capable of organizing an attack, but the Japanese can't fight anymore.
"The second battalion commander nodded and looked at the soldiers around him.
In the battle just now, one and a half squadrons of the Japanese army were almost wiped out.
A squadron was separated to attack the 52nd Army's position.
Of course, it was mainly because these lunatics They didn't want to go back alive.
If they were trying to withdraw the remaining troops, Zhang Wei and the second battalion commander really couldn't stop them.
The troops of the second battalion commander had more than 100 dead and wounded in total.
Zhang Wei's first and second platoons suffered more than thirty casualties in hand-to-hand combat.
However, the number of casualties was limited to wounded soldiers because the independent company's tactics were better. , plus they were engaged in the battle during the battle, so the casualties were relatively small.
In addition, the third and fourth platoons who blocked the Japanese army on the position suffered more than 20 casualties.
In total, the Chinese army on the position suffered more than 160 casualties.
A half-full Japanese squadron added up to nearly 100 people.
This exchange ratio is still good.
Look, but due to too many casualties, the Second Battalion could not continue to participate in the attack and had to change troops from behind.
Fortunately for the independent company, there were no organic casualties.
The organizational structure of each squad and platoon was complete.
The squad with the largest casualties only suffered more than half of the casualties, which had little impact on the continued operation.
Therefore, Zhang Wei still had to lead the independent company to continue fighting.
On the other side, a madman from a squadron launched a counterattack against the position captured by the 52nd Army.
The position was defended by two infantry companies of the 25th Division and the entire heavy machine gun company of the battalion.

The Japanese raid and a certain degree of artillery cover made this The Mad Squadron paid a price of more than thirty people After successfully breaking into the position, the next step was the same hand-to-hand combat with Zhang Wei and the others.
Reinforcements from the 25th Division were quickly dispatched.
They were not attacked and bombarded like the reinforcements from the 23rd Regiment after setting off from the forward position.
Instead, he reached the front line without any hindrance.
The two armies were engaged in a pincer attack.
As reinforcements arrived, the Japanese troops on the position no longer had the possibility of escaping.
They were eaten away bit by bit by the officers and soldiers of the 25th Division, and were finally annihilated on the position.
The so-called "counterattack" of the 21st Wing was completely in vain.
Katano Sadami was making final defensive preparations, and at the same time, he also made plans to retreat.
Zhang Wei returned to his position.
Xu Yi and Hao Zhong were counting the number of people and ammunition.
The seriously injured were gathered together.
Some were hit by shrapnel in the legs, and some were stabbed in the chest.
There were about twenty people. indivual.
Qiu Wei came over and asked Zhang Wei how to deal with these seriously injured soldiers.
Take them with you.
They can't be saved at all.
Zhang Wei knew that Qiu Wei was afraid that these people would never come back, so he sent them to the back and ran away.
"It's okay.
I'll hand you over to the back later.
Don't worry, our people can't escape.
"There must be people who have doubts about these soldiers.
These days, the most valuable human resources are young men and adult men.
What is the most valuable resource in the army?
Officers are officers who have received military education and are on the passing line.
Soldiers are naturally veterans who have fought in the war.
Zhang Wei can guarantee that under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to get these people back after they are sent away.
It's over.
But, now that he is an ally, and he has a good relationship with Chen Chunyi, he has also made a name for himself in these big battles, so he wants to talk to Chen Chunyi.
The people behind you have to think carefully about it.
"Come here, help those brothers and follow me."
Zhang Wei asked people to help the wounded soldiers to go back.
The same was true for the second battalion over there.
The wounded soldiers were in front.
This battalion was about to start to retreat.
The commander of the second battalion led Injured, retreat is being organized.
Seeing Zhang Wei coming, he took a few steps forward.
"Captain Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Wei pointed to the wounded soldiers beside him and said, "Sir, I have a gracious request.
These seriously injured brothers need your help to be sent to the 23rd Regiment and find a way to send them to medical treatment. , please”
The second battalion commander smiled: "It's nothing, leave it to me."
After he was about to leave, Zhang Wei held him back, leaned forward and whispered.
"Sir, these brothers are all fighting for me.
It's not easy.
When you see Commander Chen, please give them a few words.

Don't let these brothers not be able to return to their nests after they recover.
Commander Chen will also Give me some thin noodles, I hope the commander can help me.
"The two looked at each other, speechless at first, and then the second battalion commander looked at Zhang Wei thoughtfully and nodded.
"Easy to say, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, the men of the second battalion took over the wounded from the independent company and withdrew to the rear position.
Everyone is a sensible person.
Zhang Wei believes that this battalion commander will not be ignorant.
Hey, we are friendly forces.
The wounded were the first to retreat.
The rest of the second battalion still had to lie down in the position.
The reinforcements had been shelled just now, which meant that the Japanese artillery had targeted the area from the advance position to the main position.
If the whole battalion retreated at the same time, they would be shelled again. , it would be a big mistake, so the second battalion commander took the risk of retreating with the wounded who needed emergency treatment, and the rest had to retreat bit by bit in platoon units.
Qiu Wei looked at the retreating team, sighed, and asked Zhang Wei: "Is this okay?"
Zhang Wei didn't reply immediately and patted Qiu Wei on the shoulder.
"Don't think about it so much.
It's okay.
Write down the dead ones first.
Look back and see how many are on the roster.
If you can give money, just get the pension back.
Alas."
Qiu Wei walked back and began to complain: "Stop checking.
The last batch of people who were added were either from the supplementary regiment or from the division's command area.
The information and list are not here, and there is no use finding them." , they were all forced, and those gentlemen didn’t even bother to take names.”
