This time, Hyakutake Harukichi also made a desperate move and came out with all his strength.
All the Japanese invaders who could participate in the attack did so. Even Miyano's bodyguards were included.
There is no other way, Hyakutake Harukichi received a death order.
Either the Eighth Route Army died, or the Japanese soldiers themselves died.
It just so happened that the Eighth Route Army soldiers here were also very angry.
The Japanese invaders' planes were high above, and the weapons in their hands were of no use. They could only be beaten.
But now that the Japanese invaders are coming, it's completely different.
Then various weapons opened fire violently.
A storm of bullets was fired at the Japanese invaders.
"Puff puff……"
"Puff puff……"
Various dull sounds came.
The Japanese invaders fell one by one.
The squad leader died in battle...
The squadron leader died in battle...
The captain died in battle...
In just ten minutes, the Japanese invaders killed two captains.
One was killed by an anti-aircraft machine gun and the other was killed by a mortar. This shows the brutality of the battle between the two sides.
"bring it on!"
"bring it on!"
Zhang Chu lay down behind the trench, silently observing the movements of the Japanese invaders.
The number of Japanese invaders was very large. Thousands of them were deployed in one wave after another. The surrounding flat terrain was also conducive to the Japanese invaders' performance.
"tank!"
"tank!"
Suddenly someone shouted.
But it was the Japanese invaders' light armored vehicles that dispatched.
Because the soldiers on the front line didn't understand, they thought it was a tank. In fact, it was not. An anti-aircraft machine gun could penetrate it.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
Several anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the Japanese armored vehicles.
As a result, those thinly armored vehicles were quickly riddled with holes. All the Japanese invaders inside were shattered.
"idiot!"
Hyakutake Haruyoshi's teeth were almost broken.
Tubalu's fighting power is too strong. It's beyond description. It's beyond description.
Even if there are plane bombings in the sky, it will be useless.
Affected by anti-aircraft machine guns, Japanese aircraft could only bomb at higher altitudes, but the effect was obviously poor.
In a nutshell, it has limited ground support capabilities.
In terms of artillery fire, the Japanese army was completely at a disadvantage.
As for mortars, the number is not as good as that of the Eighth Route Army.
In terms of field artillery, infantry artillery is far inferior to 75mm mountain artillery.
The Japanese troops were almost suppressed and beaten.
The more people who rush forward, the more people will be killed.
A brigade was quickly wiped out.
The second brigade went up and soon they were all gone again.
Then the third brigade...
"Consultant Zhang!"
Ni Dong's body was covered entirely with mud.
They were all bombarded by Japanese artillery fire and Japanese aerial bombs.
The Japanese invaders launched a desperate attack. Wave after wave of attacks.
In the front position, what can be seen with the naked eye are at least more than a thousand corpses of Japanese invaders. There are many more that cannot be seen. The scene can be said to be extremely spectacular.
However, other Japanese invaders continued to attack.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Just as Ni Dong was talking, Zhang Chu had already finished a magazine.
Ten bullets were fired, killing three Japanese invaders.
In fact, he was just joining in the fun. The front line already had enough ferocious firepower to completely block the Japanese invaders' attack.
At this moment, what Zhang Chu was most worried about was not that the Japanese invaders would launch an attack. Instead, he was worried that the Japanese invaders would suddenly order to stop the attack.
Why?
The Japanese invaders continued to attack, and the Eighth Route Army was waiting for work, and the fight was too comfortable.
Not much consumption.
The results were extremely brilliant.
So far, the Eighth Route Army's losses have not exceeded 500 people.
The Japanese invaders' losses definitely exceeded 2,000 people.
Zhang Chu was very satisfied with this ratio.
If we continue to fight like this, the ones who can't stand it in the end will definitely be the Japanese invaders.
"What's up?"
Zhang Chu asked calmly.
Ni Dong wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't.
The surrounding air was filled with gunpowder smoke and dust. It was impossible to open one's mouth.
I can only make gestures to indicate whether I should go around from both sides...
Zhang Chu shook his head and said no.
It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that I can’t do it with my current strength.
After all, the troops he is commanding now are really new and large in number. But they are not elite.
There is currently no problem with positional defense warfare.
However, it would be worse if the troops were pulled out and charged against the Japanese invaders.
Many are new recruits. Many are miners. How to attack?
Passive defense is more practical.
Moreover, he also has the innate conditions for passive defense.
The Japanese invaders will definitely continue to launch fierce attacks until they are bloody.
"Saito-kun, stop attacking!"
Miyano said slowly.
He felt that continuing like this was not an option.
The casualties of the Japanese army were too great.
A frontal attack is a surefire way to die.
Now two brigades have been lost. The bodies are piled up in front.
He had never seen such a tragic scene. The Japanese army looked like weeds were being harvested.
Is this a fight?
No!
This is sending death!
"Commander Yoshio Shinozuka will not agree."
Saito Saburo shook his head.
Hyakutake Harukichi received the order to die from Yoshio Shinozuka.
Unless Yoshio Shinozuka changes his order, Hyakutake Haruyoshi's attacks will never stop.
Sure enough, Hyakutake Harukichi tied a white cloth band around his head and prepared to lead the charge himself.
He will never stop attacking without orders from his superiors.
Even he himself will die in battle.
Miyano:……
Saito:……
"boom!"
Suddenly a ball of fire burst out in the air.
But another Japanese aircraft was shot down. How many times was this? No one knew.
But there must be many, many, many racks.
As time went by, the Japanese aircraft became increasingly powerless.
The ones who were shot down were shot down.
Those who were not shot down were almost completely depleted of ammunition.
In particular, all the aerial bombs that were not carried in the first place have been thrown away. Now only some machine gun bullets are left.
However, shooting at the ground at an altitude of several hundred meters is completely a matter of luck. The bullets are basically wasted.
We had no choice but to report it to the Aviation Command.
The aviation command then ordered the aircraft to withdraw and notified Yoshio Shinozuka.
Yoshio Shinozuka remained silent.
The aviation force lost ten more fighter jets. This was a huge loss.
The commander of the aviation division already sounded quite dissatisfied. He felt that every time the aviation force was dispatched, the losses were so huge. How could it be tolerated in the long run? He made it clear that the aviation force would not dispatch again without an order from the North China Expedition Army Headquarters.
"Commander Zhang, the Japanese have withdrawn!"
"Fight back!"
Zhang Chu immediately gave the order.
Take his life while he is sick.
There are three Japanese major generals opposite!
Each major general is worth 30 million. If they are all wiped out...
That’s 100 million!
Plus additional rewards, that’s 200 million!
Dry!
However, at this critical moment, Niu Maocai hurried over.
"Zhang Chu!"
"Zhang Chu!"
Niu Maocai brought shocking news.
The Japanese 108th Division came over from Shimen with great momentum.
"Let's withdraw!"
Zhang Chu said immediately.
You can't be reluctant to fight. You must retreat immediately.
That was a division of the Japanese invaders. And it was a pretty elite division.
This 108th Division is the backup division of the Japanese 8th Division. It can be said to be the second echelon with the strongest combat effectiveness besides the permanent division. He does not want to start a war with the Japanese 108th Division here.
The Japanese 108th Division was still a standard four-regiment division with a total strength of more than 25,000 troops. It also had a heavy artillery regiment. It may also be supported by the aviation force of the entire North China Front. There are also a large number of follow-up troops.
Large numbers of tanks may also appear.
The Japanese invaders were very quick to mobilize troops from the railway line. Moreover, at this time, the Japanese invaders still had quite a lot of mobile troops, especially the Kwantung Army. If they randomly mobilized one or two divisions, they would not be able to survive.
Maybe we can still give it a try against thousands of Japanese invaders. But if there are tens of thousands of Japanese invaders, it won't work.
Must retreat immediately.
Withdraw to the mountainous area, wait for the Japanese invaders to catch up, and then attack them head-on.
After entering the mountainous area, the Eighth Route Army was in control. The Japanese invaders could not take advantage of their heavy weapons and equipment, and they could only be beaten.
"Escape to where?"
“Shuiquan Railway Station!”
"Aren't there Japanese invaders ahead?"
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Japanese invaders, let's go from the side!"
