Shao Yizhi ordered the 600th Regiment to rest and continue to be on guard, and the order given by the Fifth Army to the 600th Regiment was to attack and search, and now it was top with the devils, Shao Yizhi thought that it must not be easy to retreat.
The longer the fight, the more beneficial it was for the Fifth Army.
The 21st Brigade had just suffered little losses from the 600th Regiment, and the small setbacks in the battle made them quickly adjust their strategies.
While preparing for a large-scale second attack, the 21st Brigade contacted the 5th Cavalry Wing under the 5th Division and asked them to assist in outflanking the 600th Regiment in the Ertang area.
The Fifth Cavalry Wing is the internal unit of the Fifth Division, and the whole wing has cavalry and cavalry artillery squadrons, which belong to the rapid mobile unit and horse infantry, and the 21st Brigade hopes to defeat the Chinese defenders in Ertang with the cooperation of the Fifth Cavalry Wing.
On the position of Ertang, the 600th Regiment, the soldiers were strengthening the defensive position under the supervision of veterans and officers.
Although the battle of the 600th Regiment just now was not big, it was the first battle of the 600th Regiment, and most of the soldiers in the regiment were new recruits.
The veterans had to organize new recruits to fortify them to help ease their fears.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the devils will come up in a while, your fortifications can't work, you have to die like those corpses" Recruits shoveled dirt and built sandbags, and veterans patrolled around the trenches.
The corpses produced after the battle just now did not have time to be buried, and they were all piled up in the open space behind the position, exuding a bloody gas.
There was a sudden whistling sound in the sky, and the recruits raised their heads curiously, and the veterans were stunned at first, but when the sound was near, they reacted.
"Get down, shell" Dozens of shells burst into the positions of the six hundred regiments, kicking up clouds of smoke.
The Japanese army wing, equipped with reinforced 41 mountain guns and 92 infantry guns, carried out a second round of large-scale bombardment.
Many soldiers of the 600 regiment were killed and wounded, and the soldiers who were still digging the fortifications just now became corpses.
"Don't mess up, don't mess up, get ready for battle," shouted the veterans in the positions.
In the first round of feints just now, the Japanese army's firepower and artillery bombardment were not fierce, but this round of surprise attacks was extremely fierce.
The soldiers of the 600th Regiment had never seen such a battle, and most of them were shelled while building their positions, and the casualties were heavy.
There was confusion in the position, and the veterans who were not killed were constantly bombing and organizing the soldiers in the position, ordering them to prepare to return fire.
"The devil is coming," the sharp-eyed observation post of the 600th Regiment issued a warning.
Before the shelling stopped, the Japanese attacking forces rushed up, and most of the strength of a brigade began a full-scale attack on the main position of the 600 regiments, with more troops and more fire than the last time.
The positions of the 600 regiments were still in disarray, and all effective resistance had not been organized.
The Japanese fought in a hurry, fiercely, and the 600 regiment's return fire was very hasty, and without forming a fire network, the Japanese army did not take long to break through to within 100 meters of the position.
At the forefront of the position, an infantry company of the 600th Regiment guarded the first-line position, and there were more than 70 people in the defensive position of the entire company, and a platoon commander was in command, and the company commander and a large number of soldiers were killed in the shelling, and the entire company was only half of the number of personnel.
This was the front unit of the 600th Regiment, and it was also the unit that fought the fiercest battle with the Japanese army.
The sound of continuous fire from Czech light machine guns exploded on the front-line positions.
Only two Czech guns were left in the company's automatic firearms, and the rest of the light machine guns had been killed by the Japanese grenadiers that had rushed to close range, and the recruits began to panic as they watched the Japanese infantry getting closer and closer.
The infantry of the Japanese assault did not have a good time in the final close-range assault, and the closer the distance was pulled, the more tens of meters away, the hit rate of the national army's shooting would also increase.
This company of the 600th Regiment also had grenadiers and grenades, and its firepower should not be underestimated.
"Rush over and drop the bomb" A Japanese non-commissioned officer wields a non-commissioned officer knife, and next to him is a group of three Japanese riflemen, preparing to throw a grenade.
"Poof" A 79 rifle bullet hit the steel helmet of the Japanese non-commissioned officer when he swung his knife, and shot his head.
The Japanese assault group was not affected, completing the tactical maneuver at close range, throwing three grenades.
The Japanese grenade was accurately dropped into the trench of the first-line infantry company of the 600th Regiment, and after a few explosions, more than a dozen soldiers of the 600th Regiment were killed in the trench.
"Drag away the corpses and kill the Japanese soldiers" The veteran led the body away, and a group of Type 27 grenadiers of this company were aiming at the rushing Japanese infantry, and the target was the Japanese assault group that had just finished dropping the bomb.
The shooter of the grenadier was a veteran who was able to remain calm in the midst of a hail of bullets, visually measuring the distance and attack of the Japanese troops.
"Shot" The shooter pulls the firing rod of the 27 grenadier and fires a grenade.
The first grenade did not directly hit the Japanese army that attacked the assault, the grenadier did not have sights, and the national army did not have enough experience to teach, so the accuracy was much worse.
The Japanese assault group advanced further after the explosion and was less than twenty meters away from the position of the first-line infantry company of the 600th Regiment.
The grenadier shooter calmly fired a second shot with the help of the assistant shooter, which was just right, and hit the front of the Japanese assault group.
Three Japanese riflemen fell in the blood mist, followed by a more intensive rain of bullets and grenades, gun grenades.
But this grenade only knocked out an assault group, and did not change the decline of the 600 regiments on the battlefield.
The grenades thrown by other Japanese assault groups still exploded in the front-line trenches of the 600th Regiment.
Due to the intensity of the Japanese firepower and attacks, the first-line infantry company of the 600th Regiment still failed to hold out.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed into the position of the first-line infantry company of the 600th Regiment with bayonets, and the hand-to-hand combat at close range and face to face was undoubtedly a short board for the 600th Regiment, which had many recruits.
In the firepower, it is not a big problem for the recruits to fight with the Japanese veterans by relying on the fortifications, but when it comes to fighting bayonets at close range and hand-to-hand combat, these recruits are not used.
The Japanese army and the soldiers of the 600th Regiment were slaughtered, and in bayonet and hand-to-hand combat, the front-line positions of the 600th Regiment were completely lost.

Only about 30 men of the infantry company guarding the position withdrew, and the rest were all killed.
The first line of positions was broken through, and the Japanese units attacking other sections made progress.
The Ertang position is precarious.
The regiment commander Shao Yizhi witnessed the loss of the first-line position, his men had done their best, and after the Japanese army rushed into the position, the two sides fought hand-to-hand for ten minutes before losing the position.
The first line was lost, and the Ertang defense line garrisoned by the entire regiment might not be guaranteed, and Shao Yizhi's regimental command post was also subjected to artillery bombardment, and he knew that the Japanese army's offensive was very strong and suppressed firepower.
The attacking Japanese army had an infantry brigade, and for an infantry regiment of the national army, the firepower of the Japanese army of this size was already very strong.
Of the three battalions of the 600th Regiment, two were on the first line of defense, and the first-line position of one battalion had already been broken through, and the position of the other battalion had also fallen into close fire, and it was only a matter of time before it was broken through.
The entire regimental position was shrouded in artillery fire and confusion.
"Someone, follow me into battle in person."
Shao Yizhi said fiercely.
