Chapter 785 The Kwantung Army pays tuition (first update)
Author: 574981
"Rumble..."
The Little Japanese tank occupying the forward position had not yet turned off. It suddenly increased its accelerator and continued to charge forward while spitting out black smoke.
"Boom boom boom..."
The tank guns fired at the same time, and white smoke spewed out from the muzzle. A string of black smoke instantly rose from the blocking position at the entrance of the village, and the sandbags and logs used to build the position were blown away at the same time.
Nearly four hundred little Japanese soldiers followed closely behind the tank and rushed toward the entrance of the village.
The artillery behind the infantry did not attack once this time.
The artillery was too heavy. In front of them was the forward position that the attacking troops had just occupied. There were craters and trenches everywhere. No matter how powerful the artillery was, it would not be able to get through until the ground was leveled.
We can only wait for the offensive troops to completely capture Zhangjiachong before they can advance along the road into the Eighth Route Army's Yizhong base area.
"Division commander, the offensive troops are about to rush up. There seems to be no Eighth Route Army in the blocking position?" The smile on the brigade commander's face was wider than before.
The offensive troops successfully captured two lines of defense of the Eighth Route Army without using a single soldier. This achievement is worthy of celebration no matter where it is placed.
Moreover, the unit's current opponent is the Eighth Route Army in the Wing, which has repeatedly frustrated the North China Front.
It is undoubtedly even more valuable for the attacking troops to achieve such results in front of them.
The division commander, Lieutenant General Sakuragi, was thinking about crying.
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally won the main attack mission.
In order to fight an early battle with the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong and vent his pent-up anger, after seeing the Eighth Route Army blocking the position, he ignored the objections of his subordinates and insisted on going his own way. He gave up the exploratory attack and dispatched tanks and infantry, intending to give the Eighth Route Army a
Learn a lesson and develop the momentum of the Kwantung Army.
As a result, the opponent did not pick up the fight, and there was not a single Eighth Route Army soldier on the position.
A hard punch was like hitting cotton. Not only did it have no deterrent effect, but it became a joke because of the fanfare and wasted effort.
Just when everyone thought the first battle of the big sweep was about to end, an explosion suddenly sounded among the attacking troops, and a fast-moving tank was instantly engulfed in the flames generated by the explosion.
Several tank crews screamed and crawled out of the cab. As soon as they got out of the hatch, a string of bullets came out of nowhere and beat them into pieces.
The orderly attacking troops also began to go into chaos at this moment, and people continued to be killed.
"Baga, there are enemies behind us, and the attack is coming from behind..." a Japanese squad leader shouted, with confusion on his face.
"Da da da……"
A string of machine gun bullets rang out behind the Japs at the same time. Three Japs were shot in the back and fell in a pool of blood.
The team leader who discovered the danger was not spared. He was hit in the back by a rifle bullet and died on the spot.
"boom……"
Another tank was engulfed in flames in the explosion.
The fire seemed to have reached the tank's fuel tank, and a more violent explosion sounded immediately. The steel behemoth was blown to pieces at the same time, and even the turret was lifted seven or eight meters away.
The Eighth Route Army who attacked this bright tank was hiding twenty meters away, and a few little devils saw him at a glance.
He raised his machine gun and fired wherever he wanted. The bullets flew over like a rain of bullets. The dust flew up in the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army, and the bullets flew everywhere.
"Kill over there and kill the Eighth Route Army there..." A Japanese soldier, Captain Cao, took the lead and rushed over.
Eight or nine riflemen followed, rifles in hand, bullets loaded, staring ahead cautiously, ready to start another attack at any time.
"Where are the people..." Looking at the empty single-soldier bunker in front of him, the Japanese soldier Cao Chang was confused, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Sir, there are caves in the bunker. It seems to be the tunnel that the commander informed us." A Japanese soldier used a bayonet to push aside the thatch of the camouflaged bunker, as if he had discovered a new world, and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Nani..."
Chief Cao hadn't seen the tunnel yet, so he hurried over.
Putting aside the disguise, a dark cave entrance suddenly appeared in front of Cao Chang. He subconsciously took out a grenade and threw it into the hole to see if the Eighth Route Army could escape inside.
"boom……"
A violent explosion soon sounded, thick smoke spewed out of the cave entrance, and the tunnel entrance was directly buried in the explosion.
Chief Cao immediately regretted it. If he had known that the tunnel was so safe from explosions, he should have sent someone to take a look just now.
Now that the entrance to the tunnel has been blown up, and no screams were heard from the explosion, it means that the Eighth Route Army that attacked the tank just now is still alive, and now there is no way to send people into the tunnel.
But there is no regret in the world, if it explodes, it explodes.
My eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, hoping to find a new hole or two.
But there were no tanks around that were attacked. I could only look at the main position at the entrance of the village and order with helplessness: "Continue to attack forward..."
"As long as the enemy is still there, sooner or later we will meet again... kill him..."
"Da da da……"
A machine gun suddenly appeared fifty meters behind Commander Cao. Bullets rained down on them in a fan shape, and the two men were instantly beaten into pieces.
Commander Cao was irritated. He raised the 38 cap and moved toward the machine gun position. He quickly pulled the bolt and prepared to fire the second bullet. He also ordered: "The enemy is behind us..."
"Machine gun cover, the others are following me to fight. We must eliminate them this time..."
When Captain Cao led his men to surround the machine gun position, the machine gunners who had just attacked them had disappeared.
Putting aside the camouflage, there is also a dark cave entrance hidden inside the bunker.
This time, when Chief Cao didn't come up, he blew it up with a grenade.
First, he raised the 38 cover and fired three bullets at the entrance of the cave. After confirming that there was no danger, he pointed at the three soldiers and gave a decisive order: "You guys go down and destroy the Eighth Route Army inside..."
Everyone will feel scared when facing a strange thing, and the little devil who believes in Bushido is no exception.
Looking at the seemingly bottomless hole in front of them, several Japanese soldiers felt an inexplicable panic.
But the military order cannot be violated, so I gritted my teeth and got in.
"Sir, the tunnel is at least five meters deep..." The little devil's report soon came from the entrance of the cave.
"It's safe ahead. The tunnel is extending into the village. The Eighth Route Army has not been found yet..."
"Keep going..." Commander Cao considered the order for a moment.
Thinking that there were only three subordinates entering the tunnel, the number of troops was too small. If the opponent used machine guns again, they could all be killed in one shot, and they might not even have a chance to counterattack.
Decisively, he took the remaining men into the tunnel together.
"boom……"
A gunshot suddenly rang out in front of the team, and screams reached Cao Chang's ears at the same time.
"What's going on?" Cao Chang's eyes twitched, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his mind, and he asked anxiously.
"Enemy attack... Two people were penetrated by bullets and lost their combat effectiveness... The Eighth Route Army is in front of us." The surviving soldier reported with lingering fear on his face.
Commander Cao was not at all heartbroken over the loss of two of his subordinates.
Instead, because of the appearance of the Eighth Route Army, he felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He immediately ordered: "Keep an eye on them. The troops will continue to advance forward and must destroy them."
"After searching for so long, I finally caught up with one or two Eighth Route Army soldiers."
"Nothing we say this time can make them slip away from us, just move faster."
As he spoke, Chief Cao had already rushed forward more than ten meters and could no longer even see the entrance and exit of the tunnel he had just entered.
"boom……"
Another gunshot was heard from the front of the team, and screams reached Cao Chang's ears at the same time.
Compared with the previous one, the gunshot sounded much closer, as if it was twenty or thirty meters away. Cao Chang was so frightened that he threw himself on the ground, fearing that he would also be hit by a bullet.
Just when he was hesitating whether to get up from the ground, an iron lump suddenly hit him. He turned around and looked pale with fright.
A grenade emitting white smoke landed less than 20 centimeters away from the verification.
"idiot……"
Commander Cao's mind was filled with questions and he couldn't figure out where the grenade came from.
Everyone walked all the way, and there was obviously no Eighth Route Army soldier. How could the grenade pass over the soldiers in front and appear next to them? This is too strange.
He quickly got up from the ground and wanted to take two steps forward.
"boom……"
The grenade exploded just when he was halfway up. Cao Chang's body was blown away and hit the tunnel wall heavily...
The huge power also overturned the two Japanese soldiers in front and behind.
Including Chief Cao, a total of seven Japs entered the tunnel.
They were all killed in less than half a minute. The Eighth Route Army only used one grenade and two bullets, and the cost was minimal.
…………
On the ground battlefield, two infantry squadrons had been killed and chaos reigned.
They have been fighting for so many years, and they have never felt so aggrieved as today.
Enemies are everywhere, and there is obviously no threatening front position. I don't know how the Eighth Route Army managed it, but the Eighth Route Army actually appeared again.
The ground, which seemed to be unobstructed and without any threats, suddenly appeared with a crooked handle and threw one or two Molotov cocktails.
The commander of the division, Lieutenant Sakuragi, turned from sadness to happiness, and then from happiness to sadness, and his mood was very complicated.
Looking at the Eighth Route Army suddenly appearing on the battlefield, I thought God was giving me a chance for revenge.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's combat methods were too strange. The troops were everywhere, but they could not be found. They just used cold guns and artillery to block the offensive of the attacking troops, and even killed the attacking troops, causing them to fall on their backs and suffer heavy losses.
Even the invincible tanks lost several tanks.
The huge loss made Lieutenant General Sakuragi feel no pleasure in seeking revenge, and instead became very worried.
"Rumble..."
After another tank was enveloped in flames in an explosion, Lieutenant General Sakuragi couldn't bear it anymore.
The attacking troops were overwhelmed by the Eighth Route Army, and their losses increased sharply. However, they found no means of counterattack and were constantly being beaten passively.
Maybe they haven't even figured out the Eighth Route Army's attack method.
Continuing to fight will not do any good except increasing casualties, and it will be too much of a disadvantage.
For the sake of the overall situation, Lieutenant General Sakuragi felt very unwilling, but still gave a firm order on his face: "Retreat..."
"Artillery cover, the attacking troops will retreat immediately."
"First find out the ways and means of the Eighth Route Army to block us, and then carry out targeted counterattacks."
"We have plenty of time to sweep the base area in the wing. We don't care about this moment and retreat."
