"Boom boom boom..."
The seven heavy artillery pieces rescued by the Japanese army from the initial artillery raid were the first to join the battle, followed by field artillery and mortars.
After a while, the temporary position of the Third Battalion of the Solitary Regiment was flooded by artillery fire. There were fireballs rising into the sky, filled with gunpowder smoke, and billowing thick smoke...
The Japanese breakout troops seize the time and continue to advance towards the blocking position, shortening the assault distance for a while.
In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from deploying troops from other places to reinforce the junction and not give them much time to respond, the artillery preparations only lasted five minutes and ended in a hurry.
After the mountain artillery and heavy artillery stopped, they began to move their artillery in preparation for a breakout.
The mortar has high shooting accuracy and can cover the troops until they reach the blocking position and then stop, while still maintaining the rate of fire and continuing to fire shells towards the blocking position.
The stopped heavy artillery and mountain field artillery were replaced by heavy machine guns.
More than 20 heavy machine guns fired together, and bullets flew toward the blocking position. Together with mortar shells, they continued to suppress the Eighth Route Army in the position.
"Kill me..."
The Japanese breakout troops had successfully reached a position sixty or seventy meters in front of the formation, and each one of them charged forward with their guns in hand, as if they had been given blood.
…………
"Let's start looting. I'll hit all the light and heavy machine guns hard..." Li Yunlong hid behind a section of sandbags that had not been destroyed, and personally operated a heavy machine gun, giving orders while holding the fire.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of bullets were fired from the bullet.
"Here comes someone to load the bullet for me, hurry up..." Li Yunlong ordered in a hurry.
While waiting for others, he picked up a sacrificial soldier's equipment, held it in his hand, loaded the bullet, took aim, and fired...
In one breath, a Japanese squad leader fell to the ground fifty meters away.
"Captain, I'll come..." The third battalion commander ran over dragging an injured arm.
He picked up the bullet plate and inserted it into the bullet supply port very skillfully.
Li Yunlong conveniently dropped the 38 cap, pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, aimed straight ahead and fired.
The dull sound of machine gun fire rang out again, and the dozens of little Japs in front were shot and fell to the ground like a piece of wheat.
The third battalion commander quickly took out another bullet plate and connected it to prevent the heavy machine gun fire from stopping due to the interruption of ammunition supply.
At the same time, he reported to Li Yunlong: "Commander, the enemy's offensive firepower is too fierce. The three battalions have suffered heavy casualties. There is only one reinforced battalion left. I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it for too long."
"Let the second battalion of the reserve team come up, quickly..."
"The little devil in front of us is crazy."
"They wanted to break out of the encirclement together and occupy the junction. One or two thousand Japanese soldiers attacked us at the same time."
"Hold them off, kill them, and the Japanese Nakamura Brigade will be finished."
"The regiment's security company, baggage company, reconnaissance company, engineer platoon, and cooking squad are all participating in the battle for me..."
"I must stand up to you..."
"Send someone to contact the headquarters behind to reinforce our artillery, and ask them to immediately bombard the positions fifty to one hundred meters in front of the formation."
"First kill the Japanese breakout troops, then deal with the artillery."
"Without reinforcements and cover, no matter how powerful the artillery is, it is just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. We can eat whatever we want."
…………
On the battlefield of the siege of Yamaguchi Regiment, a new round of attack has begun.
In the thunderous explosion, more than a thousand kilograms of high-potency gunpowder were thrown into the Japanese inner ring position in the form of explosive packets by flying thunder cannons.
Fires shot into the sky, smoke filled the air, and thick smoke billowed.
In an instant, the Japanese on this line of defense seemed to be dead.
The sound of the exchange of fire suddenly stopped, and the feeling was particularly penetrating.
"All the second battalion is here. Prepare grenades and grenades. Come with me..." The commander of the second battalion was the first to get up from the ground, holding the box cannon in one hand and the grenade with the safety unplugged in the other.
It’s the same as attacking the outer ring position just now.
When the attack began, the Japanese defense line was extremely quiet, not even a single gunshot was fired.
As if the attacking troops were in uninhabited territory, they could easily reach a position forty or fifty meters in front of the formation.
At that time, everyone had already concluded that the Japanese had been killed by thunder cannons, so there was no need to be vigilant. So they rushed to the defense line with all their strength, and then they were killed and injured by the Japanese wounded.
Every time you learn a lesson, you will gain wisdom. The troops will definitely not stumble on the same problem twice.
"Get ready with hand grenades..." the second battalion commander roared.
This method was given to him by the group leader, and after listening to it, he himself found it very useful.
After running forward two more steps, he slammed the grenade on the butt of the box cannon, threw it out with all his strength, and ordered at the same time: "Throw the grenade and the grenade..."
"Boom boom boom..."
The sound of explosions enveloped the battlefield again. After throwing the grenade, the second battalion commander showed no intention of stopping and continued to attack forward while taking out the second grenade.
Pull out the safety, hit the pistol handle hard, and throw it out with all your strength.
He threw out three grenades in a row before raising the box cannon again.
At this time, the circular position was once again filled with smoke, and the second battalion commander took the lead and charged in.
The situation was better than he imagined.
Compared with attacking the outer ring position, the number of Japanese injuries here was at least 60% less.
"Covered by artillery fire, continue to advance forward and annihilate the Yamaguchi regiment..." The Second Battalion breathed a long sigh of relief and at the same time, its eyes were fixed on Yamaguchi Colonel's hiding place.
There were about a hundred little devils gathered there, and many temporary bunkers were built with sandbags.
They are arranged staggered with trenches to form a fairly complete fortification.
But the place is too small and the defensive force is too few, so it is bound to be ineffective.
…………
In the blocking position of the only regiment, the heavy machine gun in Li Yunlong's hand has been replaced with a crooked handle.
Three minutes ago, a shell hit the heavy machine gun position. If it hadn't been for the guards' desperate protection, it would have been blown into parts like the heavy machine gun.
After leaving the heavy machine gun position, I happened to encounter a machine gun team named by a grenade.
All the machine gunners were killed, and the machine gun was blown aside and could still be used.
Without saying a word, Li Yunlong immediately turned into a machine gunner, and the guard immediately became an assistant shooter to help him load bullets.
"Da da da……"
The crooked handles on the sandbags kept spitting out tongues of fire forward, and the bullets flew out in a fan shape. The two little Japs who had gathered together fell to the ground.
But the Japanese behind were not affected at all and continued to attack forward.
Li Yunlong didn't need to aim, he aimed at their bodies and fired.
No matter how long or short the burst is, pull the trigger and don’t let go, and don’t stop until the bullets in the magazine are empty in one breath.
Xiao Wenyu, commander of the third battalion, happened to rush over: "Captain, the little devil's fortifications are too fierce and the firepower is fierce. We can hardly withstand it."
"You have to resist even if you can't bear it..." Li Yunlong showed no intention of compromising at all. He stared at the little devil ahead and rushed closer and closer, giving orders with murderous intent.
"We just killed at least six hundred little devils..."
"Comrades, let's hold on a little longer and kill at most five hundred little Japs. The enemy's offensive will slow down and our defensive pressure will also be reduced."
"Send someone to contact the artillery behind. What do they do for food?"
"It's been so long. Why hasn't the artillery support promised to us by the enemy's headquarters arrived yet?"
"If we don't fire any more artillery, the only regiment will be wiped out by the Japanese."
"Why aren't our thunder artillery platoons in place yet? Where have they gone..."
"The radio operator immediately contacted the former enemy headquarters: Please support our mountain artillery unit and fire at the Japanese artillery positions quickly. Kill them if they can. If you can't, hit them hard so that they can't attack us with all their strength and reduce the risk of the only enemy.
Team defensive pressure.”
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, an explosion sounded in front of his eyes.
The angry expression on his face was immediately replaced by excitement, and he shouted with excitement: "Haha... our only group is saved."
"Comrades, the artillery support has arrived. The little devil is done playing."
"Beat me hard, keep all the Japanese who are attacking us in front of the position, and don't let any of them escape."
"All light and heavy machine guns opened to rob and kill..."
…………
Nakamura's brigade attacked the position, and Major General Nakamura's expression changed from expectant at first to solemn.
Whether it was before the war or now, the Eighth Route Army troops that defended the junction head-on, and were not equipped with any heavy weapons, should be considered the weakest Eighth Route Army troops around the Nakamura Brigade.
As a result, the breakout troops were like hitting an iron plate. No matter how hard they attacked and how hard they tried, they could never break out.
Facing the breakout troops who suffered heavy casualties, he had a vague idea of giving up the breakout.
But I was not willing to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army here, so I always wanted to try again.
As a result, not only did the breakout force fail to make any progress, but two to three hundred more people died.
The sudden artillery fire completely stopped Major General Nakamura from breaking out.
The artillery shells rained down on the middle of the breakout troops.
In the splashing firelight, the image of soldiers being blown away was clearly visible.
Only the first round of artillery fire coverage killed a full complement of troops under his command.
Previously, the Eighth Route Army had no artillery support and the breakout troops were unable to break out of the encirclement.
Now that they have artillery support, the offensive of the breakout troops will definitely become weaker and weaker, and they will have no chance to break out of the encirclement.
If you continue to attack, it will have no effect other than death.
Although retreating to the position would mean death, the offensive and defensive sides changed at that time. I belonged to the defensive side, and the Eighth Route Army became the offensive side.
If the troops defend according to the danger, they will definitely be able to recruit several more Eighth Route Army troops to serve as backup before they die.
Major General Nakamura immediately issued a retreat order: "The breakout troops will retreat immediately..."
"All troops retreated to their positions. We will not break out. We will stay here and fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army."
…………
"Da da da..." Li Yunlong continued to shoot at the Japanese with the crooked handle in his hand, and the bullets whizzed out, killing two targets again.
When he was about to continue shooting, the two Japanese men he had caught in the crosshairs suddenly turned around and ran back like a pack of lost dogs.
"No, the Japanese want to retreat... Ta-ta-ta-ta..." Li Yunlong reacted quickly, grabbing the crooked handles in his hands at the same time, and gave orders to his subordinates again.
"The cooked duck must not escape our lips..."
"Comrades, you must not miss this opportunity. Give me a hard beating and kill as many as you can until the little devils withdraw from the effective range of the light and heavy machine guns... hurry up and grab them."
