While the Takeda Brigade was marching, their movements had already spread to the positions of the Teaching Brigade.
Fastest updates Since Deng Junlin sent the last telegram, Zhang Wei and the others learned that Deng Junlin's troops had safely turned to both sides of the road, and the attention of the second-line positions was all focused on the upcoming Takeda Brigade.
Now, the Takeda Brigade is gradually approaching the second-line position, Zhang Wei ordered all the people to prepare for battle, and the Zhou Pu battalion on the right side of the road was also the same after receiving the news, and carried out emergency combat preparations.
It was already dark when the Japanese appeared six miles away, and now, it was even darker, and the entire second-line position was shrouded in night.
Zhang Wei walked out of the command post and came to the front-line position, while inspecting, he looked into the distance, it was dark, but it was not completely dark, and by the moonlight, he could still see the section of the Nanbin Highway in the position.
"Captain, the combat preparations have been completed, the firing areas of each department have been divided, and the tracer rounds of the machine guns have been sent, and they are used when calibrating the target."
Qiu Wei said.
Zhang Wei nodded: "Okay, tell the brothers to keep an eye on it, it's dark, not as good as daytime." ” In addition to the basic linear defensive trenches, Zhang Wei also ordered the construction of certain foxholes, around the trenches, as a kind of firepower supplement, as far as possible to achieve no shooting blind spots.
The fortifications on the front line were also covered with vegetation and weeds, etc., and they were hidden, and when it was dark, from a distance, these positions with vegetation and concealment were completely integrated with the earth.
Qiu Wei lowered his voice: "Captain, on the friendly side, do we have to help later, I discussed with Squadron Li of the heavy firepower squadron just now, and put the mortars on the side of the road, the friendly firepower is weak, and we can still take care of the point when we fight." ” "It's okay to do this, just control the shooting boundary."
Zhang Wei didn't think much about it, and allowed the transfer of the mortar position, originally the position of the mortar platoon was arranged in the middle of the defensive position of the teaching brigade, but now it seems that Qiu Wei and Li Shaoyan have better adjustments, and they can also take care of the Zhou Pu battalion, which has relatively weak firepower.
Zhang Wei inspected the position, about ten minutes later, the sharp soldiers he sent returned to the position one after another, Zhang Wei verified, asked them about the results of their reconnaissance, and determined that these Japanese soldiers on the road were the old opponents, fighting to the death with the teaching brigade in the village position, and the Japanese army that was ambushed by the teaching brigade before.
The soldiers were followed by the sound of cars in the distance, the sound of soldiers marching on the ground, and the wailing of baggage carts and horses.
Zhang Wei hurriedly ordered: "Prepare for battle" A loud noise came, and the position of the teaching brigade, the highway position, and the position of the Zhou Pu battalion on the right side of the highway automatically entered a state of readiness, and the muzzles and muzzles of various firearms were facing the Japanese Takeda Brigade in front The march of the Takeda Brigade can be described as smooth all the way, and the heart of the eagerness to reinforce Kunlun Pass and the previous attack on the Deng Junlin Department was successful, which greatly increased the morale of the Takeda Brigade, and the Takeda Brigade marched all the way, it was already dark, and the sharpness of the Takeda Brigade was slightly worse than that of the daytime pursuit, but the morale was still very high.
On the highway, a detachment of Japanese soldiers slowly advanced in the moonlight, and the bayonets of the 38 rifle gave out a faint glimmer under the reflection of the moonlight.
The vanguard, that is, the meaning of the vanguard, they and the main force of the Takeda brigade, there is a considerable distance, these sharp Japanese soldiers, walking, walking, as everyone knows, have entered the range of fire of the second-line position.
Not to mention, there are already hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at them.
The teaching brigade blew up a fortification with explosives on the road, and a platoon of brothers guarded it, and these soldiers were nervously staring at these Japanese soldiers who were driving in front of them, and under the breakthrough on both sides of the road, there were also soldiers from the teaching brigade and Zhou Pu's battalion.
The appearance of these Japanese soldiers was somewhat unexpected, and it was originally estimated that the Japanese army was likely to sweep and advance on both sides of the road, but the Takeda Brigade still concentrated the main force of infantry on the road and rushed forward.
The teaching brigade temporarily transferred manpower to prepare to kill these sharp soldiers, and through the position blown up on the road, notified the soldiers who contacted the Zhou Pu battalion, and the two troops acted together, teaching the brigade to go up from the left side of the road, and the Zhou Pu battalion from the right side of the road, and the soldiers of the teaching brigade in the road position assisted the left and right flanks to act.
This group of top soldiers overtook the main force of the Takeda Brigade and first entered the range of fire of the second-line positions along the road.
The soldiers of the Teaching Brigade and the Zhou Pu Battalion hidden on both sides of the road, as well as the soldiers of the Teaching Brigade of a platoon in the highway position, all held bayonets coated with mud.
A detachment of Japanese soldiers scattered across the road of more than twenty and less than thirty meters long searched and advanced.
Zhang Wei leaned in the trench and observed these sharp soldiers, this group of Japanese soldiers attracted the attention of most of the positions, and if they did not kill the top soldiers, the battle of the second-line position would really be difficult to fight.
At the bottom of the slope on the left side of the road, the soldiers of the teaching brigade slowly climbed up the slope.
The squad leader of the team bit the imported short bayonet of the Zhongzheng rifle in his mouth, and among the soldiers behind him, most of them were holding bayonets, and two of them were holding loaded 79 rifles, just in case, everyone climbed up the slope and climbed up with their backs against the slope.
The teaching brigade strives to use knives to deal with the Japanese soldiers, and rifles are used to prevent accidents.
The last Japanese soldier walked into the ambush area, and the squad leader waved his hand.
"Hands-on" On the left side of the road, twelve soldiers of the Teaching Brigade leaped forward.
On the right side of the road, a squad of soldiers from the Zhou Pu battalion climbed out.
On the front of the road, the soldiers of the teaching brigade hidden in the position of the road, and the soldiers of a squad, also rushed up from the front.
The Japanese soldiers were still searching and advancing, and suddenly there were noises and group photos around them, and when they looked up, in front of them, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers were rushing towards them.
"Enemy Army" The Japanese army led by the Japanese shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, two Belgian-made Mauser rifles pierced his right ribs and into his torso, and then, a strong hand and a military legging cloth covered his mouth and nose.
A muffled grunt came.
The man who stabbed him came from the teaching brigade on the left side of the road, and almost all the Japanese troops were caught off guard, and the sky, without making a decent resistance, was swarmed by a squadron three times its size, attacked by a sneak attack, and died under the hammer blow of bayonets and grenade handles, without a single shot:
