Chapter 122 The Japanese attack failed, and the curtain opened!

Da da da···

boom···

Twenty-two kilometers away from Yangcun Xiangyangpo Stronghold, where the Independent Regiment is based, there is a village called Niucun.

At twelve o'clock at night.

Dense and violent Czech gunfire suddenly rang out outside the village, followed immediately by a series of explosions of grenades and the sound of twenty rounds of shell guns, connected in a string like fried beans.

"Enemy attack!"

In the village, a company commander responsible for garrisoning here suddenly opened his eyes.

"Reserve team, assemble!"

Without any hesitation, without even taking off his shoes, the company commander, who was ready for combat anytime and anywhere, picked up his shell gun, rushed out of the room, and at the same time directly ordered the reserve team to assemble.

At this time, the company commander's eyes were solemn.

As the commander of the first battalion and first company of the 14th Regiment of the 385th Brigade, he is also an old Red Army soldier who came out of the grassland. He has experienced hundreds of battles and is the elite among the elite. He is the most solid pillar at the grassroots level of the army.

Although he has not yet figured out the situation of the outer positions of Niucun,

But listen to the gunfire,

The outer position of Niucun was Czech-style and made in Germany. Twenty Mauser blasts were fired continuously, and the firepower of his company was almost fully activated. Indistinctly, he also heard shouts of killing.

It shows that the situation on the front line is critical. The garrison troops have used all their firepower and are even fighting the Japanese in close combat.

And the gunshots had just sounded,

In other words, the Japanese took advantage of the darkness to gain access to their own position, and the position was in danger.

It's even possible that the Japs have already taken over the position.

"Send someone to inform the battalion commander, and the others will follow me."

Without hesitation, he led his company headquarters and reserves into the outer positions.

Later, it was proved that the company commander's reaction was extremely correct.

At that time, a squadron of the Japanese took advantage of the darkness and quietly took up the position. Although the battalion and company of the 14th regiment had rich combat experience, they had never experienced being attacked by the Japanese at night. It was inevitable that they were a little careless and fell into a small trap for a while.

The way of the devil.

In a hurry, half of the forward position was occupied by the Japs, and the Japs continued to penetrate deeper along the torn hole. Behind them, there was a squadron of Japs who planned to expand the results.

The Niucun position is in danger.

If the company commander had hesitated a little, if he had not been so decisive and directly committed all the troops of the company, then Ushimura would have been captured by the Japanese.

But there are no ifs on the battlefield.

Rich combat experience enabled the commanders of the 1st Battalion and the 1st Company of the 14th Regiment to make the final decision without knowing the details of the situation or even asking when they were attacked by Japanese soldiers at night and half of their positions were captured.

The right choice.

Including company headquarters personnel and even the cooking squad, more than a hundred people from the entire company mobilized to fight against the Japanese who had entered the position, and finally drove the Japanese from the position.

"Fuck..."

Watching the Japs going away, the First Company Commander spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, touched his side, and found no support, so he sat down on the ground.

In the battle just now, a grenade exploded next to him, less than one meter away. Thanks to his quick reaction, he hid in the trench in time, otherwise it would have been more than just coughing up blood.

"How are the casualties?"

After taking a breath, he quickly asked the deputy company commander to count the casualties.

"The casualties were about one-third."

After all, it is an established force, and rough statistical results will be available soon.

"Damn it, you little devil is crazy!"

The first company commander cursed.

In one Japanese attack, one-third of their company's casualties were caused. Although it was due to carelessness and the Japanese were caught in the position, it was enough to prove how violent the Japanese attack was.

"Thanks to Commander Li for giving us good equipment, otherwise..."

The deputy company commander was still frightened.

The Japanese's attack method is simply gambling with their lives.

A squadron of more than 150 Japanese soldiers swarmed into the position almost in groups. If they were discovered in advance, if the Japanese soldiers stepped on the mines preset in front of the position, they would not be able to escape.

Facing the increased firepower, one squad now has two Czech-style rifles, three twenty-shot shell guns, and a company with crossfire. It is feared that at least half of the more than 150 Japanese soldiers will be left behind.

And it's the least.

Definitely not less than one-third of what it is today.

But there are no ifs on the battlefield.

However, although the little devil made the right bet, he was still driven off, and both sides suffered about the same amount of casualties.

After suffering a big loss and losing half of the position, with almost the same strength of both sides, and with a lack of preparation, the first company still drove the Japanese out. Firstly, the quality of the soldiers in the company was excellent, and the most important thing was that

The Second Company's firepower has been greatly enhanced recently.

Each squad has two Czech guns, as well as two company 60 mortars, equipped with flares.

The firepower exceeded that of a Japanese squadron.

"Second team, attack."

They had already occupied half of the opponent's position, and when they saw that they were about to defeat them, they were actually driven down. The duck they had obtained flew away. The Japanese captain jumped up in anger and immediately prepared to launch a second wave of attacks.

ten minutes later,

Another squadron leader of the Tano Alliance raised his samurai sword high, howled, and rushed towards the first company position with more than a hundred Japanese wearing gas masks.

"Launch chemical bombs."

At the same time, the Japanese ordered the artillery to fire gas bombs.

Boom boom boom... A Type 94 90mm mortar from the rear fired continuously, dropping poison gas bombs one after another at the first company position.

Although the Type 94 is a mortar with a caliber of only 90 mm, the Japanese who were scared of poverty and their stubborn and foolish pursuit of accuracy are still reflected in this mortar.

With a mere 90mm caliber, the total weight with the bottom plate is actually as high as 160 kilograms, and the range is only 600 meters. What's even more outrageous is that compared to the 82mm, there is no advantage in the pursuit of accuracy.

The only advantage is the five kilogram weight of the projectile.

Therefore, Japs are generally used to launch poison gas bombs.

"Gas bombs!"

"Wear a gas mask."

Under the illumination of the flares, the first company commander discovered that the artillery shells that landed on the position did not explode as expected, but spread into a cloud of green smoke, and immediately ordered the soldiers to put on gas masks.

The poison gas commonly used by the Japanese is mustard gas, which can harm the body through the skin, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. It is highly toxic, difficult to treat, has a poor prognosis, and can cause long-term sequelae.

Fortunately,

The gas mask produced by the System Master is very effective. It can filter out the harm caused by mustard gas to the respiratory tract and digestive tract. It also has less impact on vision than the Japs. As for the skin, the soldiers of the company are also wearing the military uniforms produced by the System Master at this time, although the style has not changed.

, but the material is very tight and can protect the skin from damage.

Therefore, the gas bombs caused almost no casualties to the company.

Both sides had gas masks, but the little devil's gas bombs made him feel lonely.

"Fire."

When the Japs approached the position, the company commander ordered to open fire. The illumination bombs were launched into the sky, and one shell after another fell between the Japs formations.

Naturally, the little Japs would not just be beaten without resistance. The machine guns counterattacked and the grenades began to hunt down the machine gun positions.

Fierce fighting broke out between the two sides again.

"Nani?"

With the help of the explosion and fire, the Japanese captain who was responsible for directing the attack was stunned.

Although intelligence shows that Tubal Road has a large number of gas masks and has collectively changed into new military uniforms.

Moreover, the captain of the regiment emphasized many times that the Eighth Route Army faced by their regiment were all elite, with advanced weapons and equipment, sufficient ammunition reserves, and powerful firepower, and they could not be careless at all.

But the Japanese captain actually didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing it with his own eyes now, he was still extremely shocked.

He also had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the troops in front of him was no weaker than that of the Locust Army warriors under his command. They even had an advantage in firepower, especially machine guns, which were much more numerous than those of the Locust Army.

"Second Squadron, attack..."
