Chapter 464 Lieutenant General Sato: Replace Gas Bombs with High-Explosive Bombs
Chapter 464 Lieutenant General Sato: Replace gas bombs with high-explosive bombs (first update)
"Bring me all the heavy machine guns that the Japanese have set up on the battlefield!" Huang Yu ordered as he rushed to the circular position.
"Take off all the gas masks on the Japanese soldiers... As long as they are good, send them all to Tusan Company, and ask Tusan Company to report here immediately..."
"Send the extra gas masks to the first battalion... They are the reserve battalion of the commando battalion, and they can reinforce us at any time. They must wear gas masks before they can participate in the battle, otherwise no matter how many people come up, they will die!"
"Batalion Commander, two squadrons of kidnappers are coming towards us!" Wei Dayong shouted from a distance.
"Enter the position...the fire company is ready for battle...the mortar platoon can only fire after my order..." Huang Yu immediately ordered.
"The Japs still have a lot of mortars. There is only a trench and a bunker made of sandbags at their feet. The Japs are also equipped with a lot of mortars... If they cover the position with artillery fire, no matter how many of us there are, there won't be enough to blow it up!" Wei Dayong
A sudden reminder.
"Don't be afraid!" Huang Yu replied with a nonchalant expression.
"The Japanese have artillery, and so do we. We have more artillery fire than they do!"
"If they fire gas bombs, the rear artillery troops will not be able to pinpoint their specific location..."
"We have gas masks. No matter how many gas bombs they fire, they won't hurt us at all!"
"If they fire high-explosive shells, the rear artillery units can accurately target them and give them a fatal attack!"
"To be honest, I wish they would use mortars to attack us!"
"The troops will enter the position immediately and prepare for battle!"
More than 300 Japs charged forward without any intention of stopping. They obviously wanted to take advantage of the assault battalion's unstable foothold to engage in a chaotic battle and regain the position as quickly as possible.
What Huang Yu wants is for the kid to go crazy...
The faster and fiercer they charge, the greater the casualties they will suffer if they encounter strong blocking fire.
"Hold still, no one can shoot in advance without my order!" Huang Yu was keenly aware of this and was ready to seize the opportunity to kill all the more than 300 little devils in front of him. He kept reminding his subordinates to be calm and calm.
Put the Japs closer and then fire.
"Battal Commander... that's enough... if the Japs advance further, they will be able to rush the grenades right in front of us!" Wei Dayong reminded anxiously.
The first dozen or so little devils had already rushed six to seventy meters ahead. Even under the cover of night, their ferocious faces could still be seen clearly.
With the Japs' strong offensive capabilities, they will throw grenades forward whenever they find an opportunity, and their accuracy is particularly good.
There was only a row of sandbag bunkers in front of him. As long as three or four grenades were thrown in, he and the battalion commander would be blown to pieces.
The regiment leader and chief of staff have told him many times that Wei Dayong is not only the commander of Tuyi Company, but also Huang Yu's personal guard, and must protect his safety at all costs.
Now Huang Yu not only went to the front line personally, but also put the Japanese so close. It was so dangerous that he couldn't help but be nervous!
"What's the hurry..." Huang Yu was very calm and pointed at the light and heavy machine gun mounted beside him.
"There are more than thirty light and heavy machine guns here, and there are more than ten heavy and light machine guns. Not to mention two infantry squadrons, no one can even think of taking advantage of so many light and heavy machine guns!"
"Fifty meters...you must put the Japs within fifty meters before you can shoot!"
"I want to keep all the more than 300 little devils in front of me!"
“Dong dong dong… da da da…”
The battle started very suddenly. Dozens of tongues of flame suddenly appeared in the blocking position that had been silent just now, some were long, some were short, some were thick, some were thin...
The dozen or so Japs who happened to rush within fifty meters were beaten into pieces in an instant, without even a chance to lie down...
Subsequently, the little Japanese tried their best to rush forward, but the blocking fire from more than thirty light and heavy machine guns was too fierce. No matter how hard they rushed, they could never cross the fifty-meter line in front of the formation.
After losing more than a hundred people in a row, the remaining little Japanese had to fall back and lie on the ground waiting for artillery support.
Not long after, a string of poison gas bombs fell from the sky and hit the commando camp... The poisonous smoke quickly enveloped hundreds of people...
"Stop shooting..." Huang Yu ordered wearing a gas mask!
"Battal Commander... the little Japs are lying in front of the position. Wouldn't stopping shooting now give them a chance to get closer to us?" Wei Dayong asked anxiously, worried and puzzled.
"The little devil will shoot poison gas bombs at us again!" Huang Yu reminded.
"I know the Japanese are firing gas bombs at us, but what does this have to do with us stopping shooting?" Wei Dayong continued to ask.
"The little devils who attacked us didn't know we had gas masks!" Huang Yu continued to remind.
Wei Dayong reacted suddenly: "You want the little Japs to mistakenly think that we have all been wiped out by gas bombs, and then you will catch them off guard when the Japs come closer again!"
"That's right... I'm getting better and better at using my brain!" Huang Yu praised with admiration.
"There are two squadrons of Japs attacking here. We just killed one squadron. If we bring them closer and hit them, the other infantry squadron will be finished!"
"We can buy more time to strengthen our fortifications and face the Japanese's more violent counterattack!"
Wei Dayong's eyes lit up and he immediately accepted the order: "Don't worry, battalion commander... I will definitely keep all the more than 100 little Japs left in front of the formation!"
On the high ground next to the Japanese headquarters, Lieutenant General Sato witnessed with his own eyes that more than half of the reinforcements he sent to Dongbianer suffered casualties!
Subsequently, the circular position occupied by the independent regiment was attacked by gas bombs...
I thought that there were more than a hundred people left in the reinforcements who could take advantage of the situation to seize the circular position. However, the battle turned out to be the same as before. The attacking troops would be devastated if they rushed fifty meters in front of the formation, and the entire army would be destroyed...
"Division commander...the Eighth Route Army that captured the ring position had gas masks!" the Japanese chief of staff frowned and made his judgment.
"I suggest that the artillery unit fire high-explosive shells at the circular position captured by the independent regiment. There is only a trench and some bunkers made of sandbags. Mortar shells can easily destroy it..."
"A mortar squadron could level the place with ten rounds!"
"No..." Lieutenant General Sato ordered with a stern face...
"Gather two mortar squadrons together to fire five rounds of artillery shells...move after the firing, and the speed must be fast!"
"The number of artillery pieces equipped by the independent regiment far exceeds ours!"
"In previous battles, we have been firing poison gas bombs and rarely exposed targets... Once high-explosive bombs are fired, the artillery position will be exposed to the independent regiment!"
"With their current artillery strength, we will be destroyed as much as we are exposed!"
"Only by controlling the launch time, the artillery position can survive under the nose of the independent regiment!"
The staff officer was shocked and quickly said: "The division commander is wise, I have to arrange my humble post now!"
