Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

The commander of the third company did not panic when he discovered that his troops were surrounded, but calmly thought about the strength comparison between the enemy and us and the offensive and defensive postures. He quickly understood that his troops only had 180 people. If he defended in the wilderness, There is no favorable terrain in the wilderness, and only if one's own troops are arranged in a circle can they not be attacked on both sides.

If they are placed in a circle, based on the fact that every two people are separated by one meter, your troops can only be placed on a circle with a diameter of 60 meters, so there is no defense depth. The troops would soon be wiped out, and the company commander immediately ordered to enter Guangli Town and organize defense in the center of the town.

The company commander led his men down to the center of the town, first set up the headquarters on the Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the town, and then blocked the truck on the main street as a cover. The infantry company of Lin Yuan's army was equipped with three heavy machine gun squads, with three 12.7 mm heavy machine guns are the same model as the heavy machine guns on the tk-96. During combat, these three heavy machine guns can be assigned to each platoon as fire support at the platoon level, or they can be used by the company as a whole. For long-range firepower, the company commander arranged three heavy machine guns on the Bell and Drum Tower to kill and injure the enemy from a long distance.

The other three platoons of soldiers stayed at the main intersection and the houses on the side of the road to stop the enemy. The entire defense formation was very complete. All the soldiers thought that the battle would go smoothly, thinking that the Qing soldiers would launch a charge like before. They fled in all directions, and some soldiers even thought: "This encirclement was just the whim of some senior officials of the Qing army. In fact, the Qing army was not willing to fight at all, so as long as the heavy machine guns fired, the Qing army would be defeated across the board.

What they didn't know was that these Qing soldiers were completely different from those they had seen before. They were completely Japanese soldiers wearing Qing uniforms!

It turns out that Xu Yingkui, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, had long been involved with the Japanese. After the normal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, Xu Yingkui secretly hired Japanese military officers to train his troops. Secretly helping the army of the Qing government to become stronger, and using them to fight against Lin Yuan, the Xu Yingkui that Lin Yuan saw in Shanghai back then were extremely fierce, all thanks to the Japanese instructors.

The Japanese instructors trained these Qing soldiers completely in accordance with the Japanese army's drills. During the training, they especially trained the will to fight and military discipline, and the training requirements were extremely strict. Anyone who disobeyed was given a hundred sticks. The Japanese instructors trained a tenacious and tenacious force.

And this battle was not the whim of some high-ranking officials of the Qing army, it was designed by Lin Yuan's main opponent, Xu Shan, the patrol station of the Hangjiahu branch. What Lin Yuan didn't know was: Xu Shan himself inspected the defense in recent days, Went to Pinghu, and stayed in Pinghu, not in Hangzhou. Although Lin Yuan's suspicious strategy made Xu Shan not know where Lin Yuan was going to attack, Xu Shan seized an opportunity, which was the third company near Pinghu.

Xu Shan's idea was very simple. He wanted to claim credit for winning a battle. He knew that the Qing army was far from being the opponent of Lin Yuan's army. Lin Yuan's troops immediately searched carefully and found that there were only nine trucks, which were relatively far away from other troops, so they made up their minds to fight this battle, and asked the frontline commanders to issue a military order before the battle. If it is impossible to encircle and wipe out Lin Yuan's troops, military law must be used, so the commander of the Qing army is also actively preparing, and he is determined to win this battle.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the Qing army launched the first wave of attack. Teams of the Qing army from the Feilong Battalion entered from outside the town and attacked the third company in the center of the town along the main street in the town. The company commander quickly found them, and immediately The heavy machine gun was ordered to fire, and the heavy machine gun immediately fired at the enemy with a range of up to 1000 meters. Soon the Qing army who rushed to the front was knocked to the ground, and the other Qing troops immediately hid behind the houses on the street.

Due to the relatively long distance, the front-line commander of the Qing army, Feilong Yingying, could only vaguely see the Bell and Drum Tower, and could not see anyone on it at all. When he saw a bullet flying from that direction, he immediately realized: I met the bandit Lin. Everyone in the Qing army has heard of the ultra-long-range guns of the soldiers: Lin Ni bandit soldiers have a gun that can shoot very far away, so they call heavy machine guns ultra-long-range guns.

The commander of the Qing army thought to himself: "No matter how powerful the super long-range guns of the Lin Ni bandits are, they can only shoot in one direction. If we disperse the troops, we will definitely be able to get close to them. They are few in number. We can kill them all with one charge." Annihilate." The commander of the Qing army then ordered that the various teams spread out, keep away from the streets, and advance towards the center of the town from the gaps between the houses.

In this way, the heavy machine guns of Lin Yuan's army had to change directions constantly in order to kill the enemy, and their power was greatly reduced. When the company commander saw it, he thought to himself: "In the past, when the Qing army heard the sound of heavy machine guns, it didn't mean they were lying dead on the ground. If you don’t move, you just turn your head and run back. It’s extremely rare for the Qing army to know how to disperse the attack like them. It seems that this Qing army is not easy to deal with.” So the company commander ordered the heavy machine gun to aim at the Qing army between the rooms. Many Qing soldiers fell under the gun.

The soldiers of the Qing army finally approached the defense line of Lin Yuan's troops after one-third of the casualties. The frontline commander knew that Lin Yuan's troops had strong firepower, so he ordered the troops to drop the guns in their hands and use broadswords instead, using the shortest speed He rushed to Lin Yuan's troops and started close combat.

The soldiers of the Qing army rushed towards the position of Lin Yuan's troops with broadswords. In order to offset the advantage of the powerful firepower of Lin Yuan's troops, the soldiers of the Qing army carefully trained to meet the enemy quickly, so the speed of short-distance sprints was relatively fast. The soldiers of the Qing army went up As soon as they charged, the soldiers of Lin Yuan's army felt a group of vicious wolves rushing forward, and immediately fired. The bullets weaved into a dense fire, and a large number of Qing soldiers were immediately knocked down.

According to the previous style of fighting, the soldiers of the Qing army who were lucky enough to survive escaped at this time, but these Qing soldiers were different. They rushed forward stepping on the corpses of the people in front until they were all killed, and the attack of the Qing army came to an end. , both sides were shocked by each other, first of all was Xu Shan, he sent more than 1000 elite Flying Dragon Battalion into the battlefield, but in less than an hour, these thousand elites only came back with more than 200 injured, Xu Shan was so angry that he raised his hand and chopped After killing the head of the Feilong battalion and battalion commander, he mobilized his subordinate Feihu battalion, Feibao battalion and other elite soldiers to prepare for the second wave of attack.

The company commander of the third company said to Liu Jinkui on the radio: "Master, we need support. These Qing troops are too tenacious, and they are not afraid of death at all. If we continue to fight like this, our bullets will bottom out after three rounds of charges."

Liu Jinkui said: "Our reinforcements are on the way, you must hold on no matter what!"

The commander of the third company replied loudly: "I promise to complete the task!" Putting down the radio, he smiled wryly in his heart. Completing the task was not easy. Liu Jinkui immediately notified Lin Yuan when he received the news from the commander of the third company, saying: "Shuai Lin, the third company needs Ammo!"

Lin Yuan said: "What is the use of ammunition for you and me? The most important thing for you to do now is to speed up your march. As long as you appear behind the Qing army, the siege of the third company will naturally be relieved."

Liu Jinkui said: "I will order the troops to advance quickly." So he ordered the rescue force composed of tanks to move towards the Qing army at an accelerated rate.
