This time, the attack of the 6th Infantry Regiment was surprisingly smooth because Sun Liren had led his troops to retreat.

He soon captured the position before Sun Liren's troops. After receiving the news, the corps captain Kang Yongchenji immediately ordered the troops to take advantage of the situation to pursue and continue to attack towards Liujiatang.

At the same time, on the Liujiatang position.

Lin Rui is patrolling the trenches and checking the deployment locations of all light and heavy firepowers.

Lin Feng, who was following him, suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Company Commander, look, it seems that Lieutenant Zhang is back."

Lin Rui immediately stopped and looked up at the direction of the big field. Sure enough, he saw the contact officer Zhang Xinghan, and was running hurriedly towards this side.

Lin Rui sent two soldiers out of the trench and went to support him, leading Zhang Xinghan to him.

When he entered the trench and came to Lin Rui, Zhang Xinghan immediately stood attentively and saluted: "Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, the regiment and the others have begun to retreat here. Let me notify you to prepare for the response!"

Lin Rui nodded and said, "We are ready for all battles and can handle them at any time."

"That's good." Zhang Xinghan nodded and said with a worry.

So, they waited patiently on the position.

About ten minutes later, a group of figures surged out of the front of the position. Lin Rui, who received the news, immediately raised his telescope and looked forward. A large number of tax police officers and soldiers rushed towards his side with various weapons.

The first ones arrived were the first and second battalions, followed by the third battalions and the regiment's companies. Sun Liren was the last to retreat into the position with some officers and soldiers of the guard company.

Lin Rui immediately brought Zhang Xinghan, Lin Feng, Zhou Weihan and others to greet him, and took the lead in standing attentively in front of Sun Liren and saluted: "Cluster! The Eighth Company is ordered to report, please instruct."

Sun Liren looked at Lin Rui and Zhou Weihan and other officers and soldiers behind him, nodded with praise, and then directly ordered: "Major Lin, our regiment has suffered a lot now and needs to retreat and rest. I will leave the Third Battalion for you. You can block the Japanese for at least two hours?"

"Yes!" Lin Rui first agreed, and then asked in confusion: "Where is our battalion commander?"

Sun Liren's face turned dark: "He died. Now the third battalion is commanded by you, the deputy battalion commander! Remember, no matter how fierce the enemy's attack is, at least I will block them for two hours!"

The three main battalion commanders of the Tax Police Corps can be said to be Sun Liren's confidant. The third battalion commander and a large number of officers and soldiers died. When it comes to this, he naturally feels not very good.

Although Lin Rui and the third battalion commander were not very close, he couldn't help but feel a little heavier when he heard the news of his sacrifice. He immediately stood up and promised Sun Liren: "Please rest assured. Within four hours, no Japanese will ever want to pass through Liujiatang!"

Sun Liren looked at Lin Rui with satisfaction, nodded and praised: "Well, it's great! The courage is commendable! Give me two hours, and I can regroup and compete with the 6th team raised by the dog. My mother!"

Sun Liren fought a cowardly in this battle. His second tax police regiment was a first-class ace force, and a group of more than 3,000 people. In fact, in terms of weapons and equipment, it was not worse than the Japanese.

The difference is that the Japanese have strong firepower support from the navy and air force, and the Kuomintang cannot seize air supremacy and sea supremacy.

Under the suppression of the Japanese's naval artillery fire, the Second Tax Police Regiment suffered heavy casualties, and even half of the combat power could not be exerted, so he lost the field and retreated to Liujiatang.

Sun Liren, who was upright and arrogant, was naturally worried and wanted to find the place back.

Lin Rui said: "Please rest assured. Since I have promised, I will definitely be able to do it, so there is no need to worry, you can rest calmly!"

Sun Liren patted Lin Rui on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then took other battalions and companies except the Third Battalion to retreat to the rear to correct the situation.

Lin Rui immediately took over the command of the entire Third Battalion as the major deputy battalion commander.

At this time, more than half of the 7th Company and the 9th Company of the Third Battalion, as well as the battalion's direct troops, had all died or injured, so the total number of officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion who retreated to Liujiatang was less than 500, and only more than 400 were left.

In addition to the more than 320 people of Lin Rui's 8th Company, the total force is only more than 700.

Compared with the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army, which was full of people, it was far from the same as the absolute enemy.

Almost as Lin Rui had just deployed the troops withdrawn from the Third Battalion, the vanguard of the 6th Infantry Regiment rushed in and appeared outside the Liujiatang position.

The geographical environment of Liujiatang is like this. This village is located in the middle of two small rivers in a north-south direction. These two small rivers, one east- and one west, look like moats, guarding Liujiatang in the middle. Each small river has several small stone bridges for traffic.

The Japanese attacked from east to west, and Lin Rui set up the blocking position on the east bank of the river to the east, and built a defense line with three stone bridges less than 500 meters apart.

It is a fight against the enemy. If the Japanese want to attack Liujiatang directly, they can only attack from the front of the Eighth Company's position.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, the Japanese are here!" A squad leader who was in charge of leading the team to guard the Japanese found the traces, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice.

Lin Rui, who was patrolling a fox pit, immediately lay behind the cover, raised his telescope and looked at it, then turned his head and ordered Lin Feng and Zhou Weihan: "Transfer my order, and each company and platoon will immediately enter the state of combat and be ready to open fire at any time!"

"Yes!" Zhou Weihan and Lin Feng responded in unison, and then took their own orders and left.

On the position, more than 700 officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Second Tax Police Regiment were all ready for battle.

Outside the position, the first one to arrive were hundreds of Japanese soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Army. This 1st Battalion lost a lot of people when it fought with the main force of the Second Tax Police Regiment, so now only two-thirds of the troops are left.

There were only about six or seven hundred people. The leader of the 1st brigade, Mingchuan Nakazo, first raised his telescope and observed Liujiatang. It was silent here and there was nothing else abnormal.

He was eager to pursue the Second Tax Police Regiment and waved his hand and ordered: "The 3rd Squadron opened the way in front, and other troops followed up, quickly passed here and continued to pursue!"

"Hayi!" A lieutenant who was accompanying him paused suddenly and quickly conveyed his orders.

As mentioned before, the 1st brigade lost one-third of its troops, so the 3rd squadron, which originally had nearly 200 people, was only more than 120 people left.

Under the leadership of a lieutenant squadron leader, he lined up a scattered line of three or four hundred meters wide and rushed towards the Liujiatang position of the Third Battalion.

Seeing this, Lin Rui immediately put down the telescope in his hand, picked up a Mauser 98k rifle, raised it and aimed at a Japanese lieutenant who led the charge.
