Chapter 229 Political Commissars Worry
"Baga, this is a permanent fire point, a machine gun castle, we can't suppress them at all!" A sergeant rushed over and reported in a hurry.
"Sit down on the spot, lie down, hide first, and wait until the bomber knocks off this firepower point before attacking!" The captain, who saw that his subordinates had lost more than 20 people, was both heartbroken and helpless.
"It's still not possible!" Just a few seconds later, the sergeant rushed over and shouted.
"The Japanese machine gun castle is condescending, and even if we are lying down, they can shoot us!"
The team leader was also anxious: "Then continue attacking, don't worry about them, continue to rush towards the Eighth Route Army positions, and leave the machine gun castle for artillery and bombers to clean up!"
As soon as the machine gun castle on the left wing of the Japanese army's front enemy command was exposed, the Chief of Staff showed a heartfelt admiration to Major General Ono.
Then he subconsciously ordered: "The artillery immediately fires signal flares to guide the bomber to the target, hurry up!"
"Woooooo..." The shells with a screaming sound flew towards the machine gun castle that had just been exposed by the Independence Regiment.
Several shells did not explode, but clusters of red smoke rose, and then instantly covered the entire machine gun castle.
The three machine gun teams that were pouring bullets out in the castle were frantically pouring out the bullets. As soon as they saw the signal smoke living and dying outside the castle, the machine gun squad leader shouted.
"Stop shooting, withdraw immediately from the soon-to-be-castle, and withdraw quickly!"
"The light machine gun team left first, the heavy machine gun team followed and rushed out!"
As soon as he rushed out of the castle, he ran back along the traffic trench. The deputy shooter followed the box of bullets with a box of bullets.
"Hurry up, speed up, the Japanese bomber is about to start diving!" The squad leader following behind the heavy machine gun team urged loudly.
"Woooooooooooooooo!" As soon as they finished speaking, the huge roar and screams of the bomber's dive sounded above their heads.
"Boom!" Immediately afterwards, an explosion that was shaking in the earth sounded behind them.
Fortunately, the bomb dropped by the Japanese bomber landed on the other side of the machine gun castle. Although the explosion was very powerful, it exploded a large amount of gravel and dead wood into the sky, but it did not affect the three machine gun groups that were retreating.
"Run quickly, the Japanese plane has started to throw bombs!" The squad leader was startled first, then he showed a look of surviving the disaster and shouted loudly.
"Run quickly and retreat back!" The machine gunner who was retreating was also frightened. Without saying a word, he spread his legs and rushed towards the machine gun castle in the middle of the position.
"Boom!" Another explosion sounded behind them with a scream.
This time, the bomb directly hit the top of the castle and exploded.
Although I don't know if the Burgundy can withstand this explosion, the powerful air waves overturned the two machine gunners who had retreated thirty or forty meters away, which shows the powerful power of this heavy aviation bomb.
"Company Commander, all three machine gun teams have been withdrawn. It's too dangerous. Just a little bit, the three machine gun teams will die on the way to retreat!" The instructor rushed to Li Binshan and reported with lingering fear on his face.
"The left-wing machine gun castle must be over. After three blockbusters were killed, they were almost destroyed even if they were not in ruins!" Li Binshan replied with a gloomy face.
"But the time is not long, and the Japanese are about to rush to fifty meters!" the instructor asked anxiously.
Li Binshan immediately began to give orders: "Then prepare grenades and grenades, and greet the Japanese with grenades."
"The remaining two machine gun castles are all ready. Our grenades will fire as soon as they explode. We must clean up more than a hundred Japanese left on the battlefield!"
In the front command of the Independent Regiment, except for Wang Ping, he still had a calm expression. Political Commissar Cheng Xiao and Chief of Staff Zeng Quan both looked worried, holding a telescope and staring at the battlefield without moving, and sighing from time to time.
"Captain, the Japanese offensive is too fierce, the firepower is strong, and they also use the Imperial Army as cannon fodder to jointly attack. According to this method of play, the second line of defense will have to give up the Japanese attack this time!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan reminded with a worried look on his face.
Cheng Xiao then added: "There are also Japanese grenade launchers and mortars, which are very tricky. The entire battle is constantly going on. According to Zhang Yunshan's report, most of the soldiers we lost were caused by them!"
Wang Ping put down the telescope and frowned and analyzed.
"This is the lesson of the first offensive and has changed the way of attack!"
"There are mountain cannons on the ground, bombers in the air, and more troops and better soldiers than us. It is great to fight with such an enemy with almost no shortcomings and fight like this!"
"Political commissar and chief of staff, no matter how bad the situation is or how tragic the battlefield is, we must have confidence. Otherwise, the morale of the Independent Group will definitely be greatly affected!"
Cheng Xiao immediately supported: "Captain, you are right, we must have confidence!"
Then he changed his subject and continued: "But the Japanese offensive was too fierce. In just over an hour, a line of defense was lost. According to this loss, we could not hold on to tomorrow night, or even tomorrow noon!"
Chief of Staff Zeng Quan was also anxious: "There is also the machine gun castle we built at a high cost. Except for the three castles on the first line of defense, I guess the castles behind will not play much role. The Japanese bombers are staring at our castle, and they will be destroyed as soon as they are exposed!"
"Captain, we must have a solution to change this bad situation. Otherwise, our independent regiment will definitely not be able to complete the tasks given to us by the military sub-district!"
Wang Ping frowned and said nothing, staring at the battlefield where artillery fire fell into deep thought.
At this time, two machine gun castles left on the second line of defense had already begun to counterattack, with a total of two heavy machine guns and four Czech-made guns firing together. The dense bullets were as if it was raining, and they were condescending to harvest the lives of the Japanese on the battlefield.
Grenades and grenades that kept hitting the Japanese and Japanese also killed and injured the Japanese and puppet troops in the violent explosion.
But it didn't last long, the two machine gun castles were destroyed by the Japanese bombers one after another. The dense rain of grenades stopped because of the use of grenades.
There were more than 40 Japanese and puppet troops left on the battlefield, and they were like crazy, screaming and rushing out of the battlefield filled with smoke and coming towards Li Binshan.
Most of the dozens of Japanese devils were killed on the road, but more than a dozen people rushed into the position with bayonets.
Although the Japanese were very good at bay fighting, they could not resist the large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they were shot and killed with pistols from time to time.
