The Japanese troops who invaded the Second Battalion's position failed to escape and were either stabbed to death in the position or knocked down in front of the position.
The battlefield advantage gained by the Japanese army also disappeared.
The soldiers of the preparation battalion who reinforced the Second Battalion took the initiative to took on the task of reinforcing the defense line.
Having just cleared out the Japanese troops in the position, the Second Battalion was unable to regain its position immediately.
He Kun quickly entered the recaptured position with three reinforcement platoons, and exchanged fire with the Japanese troops visible in front of the position.
In the position that had been broken into by the Japanese just now, Fierce firepower broke out, and the veteran's marksmanship and shooting speed made the Japanese troops in front of the position almost unable to raise their heads.
As soon as the Second Battalion's position was restored, Zhang Wei ordered the heavy machine gun that suppressed fire to return to its original heavy machine gun position to prevent the retreating Japanese troops on the Second Battalion's position from threatening the Preparation Battalion's position.
It can be seen from the actual situation on the battlefield.
It seems that Zhang Wei's worries were somewhat unnecessary.
The attacking Japanese army was mainly concentrated on the Second Battalion's position and has now been repulsed.
The Japanese troops fighting against the preparation battalion and the first battalion of friendly forces on the right were only a squadron of troops.
Not to mention the preparation battalion, the Japanese troops who directly attacked the preparation camp position were severely damaged and did not launch a second assault.
There were not many Japanese troops fighting the 1st Battalion, and they failed to conquer the 1st Battalion's position.
The main force of the Japanese army attacking the 2nd Battalion's position failed, and the Japanese army in front of the entire line of defense almost made no major progress.
The attacking Japanese troops continued to retreat.
Only the infantry artillery and light and heavy machine guns were still firing normally.
After hand-to-hand fighting and heavy damage from the preparation camp, most of the attacking Japanese troops' energy had been consumed.
The Japanese officers who directed the attack could only be unwilling to do so.
While gathering the troops, they continued to fire and attack the defenders' positions.
The two sides fired at each other for a short while.
The Japanese commander knew that no major breakthrough could be made and could only order the attacking troops to retreat.
Zhang Wei observed in the trench that the Japanese offensive had collapsed.
This attack basically ended in failure.
Suddenly, the Japanese infantry artillery began to fire violently.
Regardless of accuracy, it was completely covering fire.
Each shell failed.
Accurate explosions inside and outside the defenders' trenches , heavy machine guns and grenade launchers also fired in coordination.
The soldiers who were resisting in an orderly manner in the trenches crouched down to avoid the bombardment.
Zhang Wei also squatted down.
The Japanese infantry artillery shells were not aimed high and landed inside and outside the trenches. , causing little damage to the troops, but it also affected shooting.
"Boom" came from the right-wing position.
Looking up, I saw thick smoke rising from the first battalion of friendly troops on the right-wing.
Judging from the power of the shells, it was probably a 75-caliber mountain cannon.
"The Japanese are about to retreat," someone shouted on the position.
All the Japanese troops in front of the position were seen retreating, making it clear that they were going to retreat.
The one that had just hit the 1st Battalion's position was the Type 41 mountain artillery directly under the Japanese army.
It was obviously also To cover the attack The Japanese army retreated.
The Qiwushan artillery shells fired from the 1st Battalion of the friendly forces continued to fall near the position.
The power of the mountain artillery shells was much greater than that of the 92nd Infantry.
The 1st Battalion that was hit by the artillery shells suffered some casualties.
The soldiers on the position The firepower is also greatly reduced.
"Pass the word, keep it secret, don't just shoot and lose your life," Zhang Wei shouted at the top of his voice.
The Japanese artillery fire was too loud.
The surrounding soldiers passed Zhang Wei's orders one after another.
The Japanese troops who were attacking now were going to Withdraw, the covering firepower was extremely fierce, and there was no need for the preparation battalion to fight with them.

It was not worth sacrificing human lives for this group of retreating Japanese troops.
After a burst of fire from the regiment artillery that opened fire on the first battalion, its firepower quickly spread to the preparation battalion position.
Although the 59th regiment's regiment artillery squadron only had two mountain guns left, it was now firing suppressively.
The pursuit was not to attack the firepower point.
The two guns fired violently in a rapid fire manner, and a large number of falling bombs quickly covered the positions of the two battalions.
The Japanese infantry artillery and the regiment's Qiwu Mountain Artillery in the rear provided artillery cover for the retreating Japanese army.
The attacking Japanese infantry left a squadron of troops to cover the retreat of others, and at the same time left two heavy machine gun squads behind to cooperate with the cover.
The infantry squadron suppressed and fired at the defenders' positions.
It must be said that the Japanese army The retreat was organized in a very orderly manner.
The main force of the infantry retreated first.
The infantry artillery also began to retreat after a period of joint fire with the regiment artillery.
Finally, the Japanese squadron that was reinforced with four heavy machine guns served as cover, using light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.
The canisters suppressed the defender's position, and the attacking troops retreated one by one, taking cover alternately.
At this point in the battle, the battle has basically entered a useless period.
Under Zhang Wei's order, most of the soldiers focused on hiding.
A small number of soldiers found opportunities to fire machine guns at the Japanese troops, knocking out individual Japanese troops, and firing continuously in the position.
The only thing that fired was a grenade launcher, The grenade team did not need to be exposed.
They only had to squat in the trench and throw grenades outward.
After fighting for a while, the last Japanese squadron serving as cover was killed by the grenade.
A light machine gun was killed and more than a dozen corpses were left behind. , and then quickly broke away from contact under the cover of artillery fire.
The smoke after the shelling filled the entire defense line.
After the infantry was withdrawn, the Japanese shelling continued for five minutes.
The shelling was stopped only when no more living people could be seen in front of the defender's position.
Zhang Wei and The officers and soldiers of the preparation battalion were squatting in the trenches, holding their rifles upright in their hands.
The originally relatively wide trenches were filled with smoke and dust, as well as various sandbag debris that had been blown to pieces.
The Japanese shelling had just stopped.
For safety reasons, no one dared to act rashly.
They all stayed in the trenches.
In addition to coughing, there were shouts and curses from individual soldiers.
Zhang Wei patted the dirt on his military uniform and stood up.
He saw that there were no Japanese troops left in the position.
There were only Japanese corpses scattered everywhere and weapons and ammunition abandoned by the Japanese troops.
It could be seen that the Japanese troops had retreated.
Judging from the intensity of the battle just now, the Japanese Human attacks should be temporarily stopped, and no large-scale counterattacks will be launched in a short period of time.
"Don't sit still, repair the fortifications and count the casualties."
After repelling the Japanese attack and ensuring safety, the soldiers within the defense line began to prepare fortifications and count the battle casualties.
Things in the position were well arranged.
After every battle, these are must-dos.
In the main infantry position Zhang Wei doesn't have to worry about anything.
Zhang Wei walked to the traffic ditch leading to the 82nd mortar position.
He walked along the traffic ditch to the mortar firing position.
When he walked to the traffic ditch of the mortar position, Zhang Wei's feet were covered with loose sand.
Look, it's the floating soil that was blasted out after the bombardment.
Just now During the battle, the mortar position was heavily bombarded.
First, it was directly bombarded by the 92nd Infantry Artillery attached to the Japanese infantry.

Later, the regiment artillery of the Japanese army in the rear was engaged in shelling the position.
The mortars in the rear The artillery position may have also been hit by artillery shells.
Under the current circumstances, this mortar platoon was the only artillery support firepower on the entire defense line.
For this reason, Zhang Wei had to go and take a look.
There was still smoke coming from the mortar circular firing position not far away.
It looked like it was badly bombed
