Chapter 993 Li Yunlong: I must fight the weak with the strong
In previous wars, the Japanese army used artillery fire to overwhelm their opponents and then followed behind the artillery fire to clean up the battlefield.
At this moment, the little devils stationed here tasted the feeling of being bombed for the first time.
As soon as the squadron leader rushed out of the underground headquarters, a shell hit and exploded next to him.
The powerful air wave instantly knocked him over. If there was not a soldier standing next to him, who happened to help him block most of the incoming fragments, the squadron leader would have been blown into pieces by the shell.
Despite this, a piece of flesh was still removed from the squadron leader's shoulder blade by the fragments, and blood gushes out like a fountain, instantly staining the uniform red.
The adjutant who was also blown over quickly shouted: "The squadron leader is injured..."
"Medical soldier..."
"Come quickly and bandage the squadron leader's wound..."
"Baga..." the squadron leader resisted the pain and refused.
"What time has it been? There is no time to bandage the wound."
"Let the troops be ready for battle and block the Eighth Route Army's attack at all costs."
After saying that, he dragged an injured arm and rushed towards the blocking position.
The place had been bombed into a mess, many trenches had been blown down, and there were bloody corpses of soldiers everywhere, with broken limbs and arms broken by the bombing, and there was not even a place to stay.
"boom……"
Another artillery shell hit near the center of the squadron, hitting the trench just in time. Three Japanese soldiers in a machine gun team were knocked over at the same time.
The squadron leader couldn't care less and rushed directly towards the machine gun position.
After confirming that the machine gun had not been destroyed, he ordered the adjutant beside him: "You will be the machine gunner, and I will load the bullets for you. Shoot quickly..."
"Ha Yi..." The deputy shooter was completely in a panic. He did whatever the squadron leader asked him to do.
With his shoulders pressed against the request, he held the handle of the machine gun with one hand and pressed down the gunman with the other, aiming at the approaching Eighth Route Army soldiers and setting fire to them.
The two Eighth Route Army soldiers he trapped in the crosshairs fell to the ground.
When he shifted the muzzle of the gun, put three other Eighth Route Army soldiers into the crosshairs, and tried to pull the trigger, a string of heavy machine gun bullets swept directly towards him.
The sound of firefights was everywhere in my ears, and bullets were flying everywhere on the position.
The flustered adjutant was completely unaware that he had been targeted.
He didn't realize the danger until the heavy machine gun penetrated his chest head-on, leaving a bloody hole the size of a fist, but it was too late.
The squadron leader's shoulder was injured, and the severe pain would affect him to some extent.
Although he crouched down immediately, a heavy machine gun bullet still hit his head, and he was instantly shot. Red and white brains were splashed everywhere. It was as tragic as you want.
On the blocking position, the battle-hardened squadron leader and adjutant were killed as soon as they entered the scene, let alone ordinary soldiers.
After a few hits with powerful offensive firepower, it would be difficult for the light machine guns equipped by the Japanese army to survive for more than ten seconds.
Even if there are Japanese machine gunners who are very vigilant and fire a bunch of bullets to move to another position, the shells raining down will still take their lives.
"Comrades, fight with me..." The commander of the third battalion of the third regiment took the lead in the charge. It was like a shot of stimulant, which made the surrounding soldiers' blood boil. It was like a shot of chicken blood. They rushed towards the Japanese position, one after another.
runs fast.
The third battalion commander had just killed the second kid since his attack, and there was no longer a living kid around him.
Hundreds of soldiers were like hunters, looking for little Japs everywhere on the battlefield with their big eyes.
"Battal Commander... all the little Japs here have been killed, not a single one is left alive, and the squadron leader is also dead..." Company Changxing of the Ninth Company hurried over to report, his body still stained with blood from fighting with the Japs on the bayonet.
"The Seventh Company has served as the main attack company twice and will not participate in the next battle." The battalion commander did not appear particularly excited, but ordered with a calm face.
"The Eighty-ninth Company, artillery, immediately crossed the blockade, advanced five hundred meters, established a defense line, and faced the Japanese reinforcements."
"The Seventh Company stays here to clean the battlefield and destroy the blockade ditch and blockade wall."
"If there are not many little Japs to reinforce here, we are sure to eat them, and then I will decide whether the Seventh Company will participate in the war."
…………
The Japanese army closest to the battlefield in the third blockade line had an infantry brigade.
It is impossible for them to abandon the third blockade and rush out to reinforce the battlefield.
Therefore, the three regiments and three battalions had to face only half a brigade of Japanese troops.
In order to speed up the march, they only brought six mortars and six heavy machine guns, not even the infantry cannon.
When we were still five kilometers away from the battlefield, the sound of firefights suddenly became weaker.
The Japanese deputy captain frowned immediately: "No, the troops stationed on the second blockade are in danger."
"Your Majesty the Commander said..."
"The reason why the iron wall siege is indestructible is that in addition to the large number of blockades, the enemy breaks through one and another. Another very important reason is that the blockades can reinforce each other."
"If the troops stationed on one blockade are attacked, the troops stationed on other blockades can immediately provide reinforcements."
"While the enemy is being held back by the blockade, surround them on the blockade and annihilate them."
"Even if the enemy is lucky enough to break through the blockade, the reinforcements must continue to move forward, retake the blockade, cut off the enemy's retreat, and then eliminate them at the blockade."
"The troops immediately deployed into battle formation, strengthened their alert, and continued to advance to prevent us from encountering the Eighth Route Army in front."
When the reinforcements were still more than a thousand meters away from the battlefield, the sound of firefights from the battlefield stopped completely.
No matter how stupid the deputy captain was, he knew that the second blockade had been broken through by the Eighth Route Army, and his vigilance became even higher than before.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this moment, a dense firefight suddenly sounded in front of the highway. The adjutant raised his binoculars and saw several machine gun flames of different thicknesses lying across the highway, blocking the way of the reinforcements.
The adjutant was afraid that the enemy would not take action.
In this case, the enemy is in the dark and you are in the open. The enemy can use various means to sneak attack on you at any time, but the reinforcements can only be beaten passively. They may sneak into the opponent's pocket without realizing the danger.
Now that the Eighth Route Army was blocking him from the front, the adjutant breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, both the enemy and ourselves can compete with each other in the open, without having to worry about all kinds of conspiracies.
Immediately ordered: "Artillery and heavy machine guns will join the battle immediately to suppress the Eighth Route Army's blocking firepower."
"Whether they want to block the road or for other reasons, we have to retake the second blockade."
The Japanese army was well-trained, and at the command of the commander, the entire army was like a war machine, running quickly.
After a while, a violent explosion sounded in the blocking position. Through the splashing firelight, the Japanese deputy captain clearly saw the scene of the Eighth Route Army being bombed "everywhere", and his whole person suddenly became high-spirited.
He felt that this was what he should see when fighting against the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped, and faced the powerful artillery fire of the Imperial Army, it would definitely be passively bombed.
As a result, when they arrived at a battlefield, facing the well-equipped Yizhong Eighth Route Army, they became the bombed side.
It has been a long time since the deputy captain saw the scene of the Eighth Route Army being bombed.
Now that I see it again, my first reaction is that the imperial army's advantage is back.
