All kinds of emotions were mixed, and finally turned into deep despair.
A sudden big explosion took away 70% of the Yamazaki Brigade's troops.
More than 300 Japanese troops were completely swallowed up by the big explosion on the south slope in an instant.
Yamazaki was so horrified that he still couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.
Is the person who arranged all these traps the devil?
Too despicable, too crazy!
Just when Yamasaki confidently believed that the upcoming general offensive would capture Lijiapo in one fell swoop, and in turn contain the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and use the tactics of blooming in the middle to completely eliminate the Taihang Eighth Route Army.
A big explosion directly shattered all Yamazaki's arrogance and confidence into pieces.
Even the old devil Yamazaki himself didn't know it. At this moment, he should be lucky that he was standing relatively far back and too far away from the explosion area, so he was lucky enough to survive.
Or should we feel sad about this? A big explosion almost destroyed the Yamazaki Brigade, but he was left as the captain. Isn't it cruel?
Looking not far away, as the cold wind blew and the smoke cleared, the corpses on the ground were covered with devastation, and Yamazaki's eyes instantly turned red.
"Attack! Attack——"
Yamasaki held up the ivory-handled command sword given by the Emperor and roared at the top of his lungs.
He doesn't care about anything now, whether it's the tactics that bloomed in the middle, or the plan of General Yoshio Shinozuka, or the main force of the Eighth Route Army that has been encircled, and the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment that is fighting in front of him...
The old devil Yamazaki has only one thought now, which is to attack, avenge the dead imperial soldiers, and completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army on the top of Lijiapo Mountain.
The real general attack has begun!
Most of the remaining 120 or so Japs in Yamazaki's brigade were also defeated. As if feeling the anger in Yamazaki's heart, one by one they launched a deadly charge towards the Lijiapo fortifications regardless of the cost.
The few remaining artillery pieces of the Yamazaki Brigade, plus a dozen artillerymen, immediately adjusted and prepared to bombard the Lijiapo position again.
On the Lijiapo fortifications, looking at the hateful faces of the Japs rushing up from the top of the slope again, a platoon commander shouted: "Company Commander, the Japs seem to be crazy. Look at their attacking posture, they are completely desperate."
Look!"
The monk said happily: "What does this mean? Our leader's trump card is really powerful. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart when I heard the explosion just now. Even if the little devils are not dead, they will be dead."
"Tell the brothers, since the little Japs are in a hurry to seek death, don't open fire in a hurry. Put the Japs 50 meters away and then fire together. There is no need to reserve all the firepower. Bring up the two heavy machine guns for me.
Grenadier fire at the ready.
In addition, all soldiers' rifles have been replaced by shell guns. Since we are called a pistol company, these pistols are not just decorations.
A modified shell gun with a wooden butt installed. From a distance of fifty meters, if we concentrate our firepower and shoot, we will kill as many little devils as they come."
"Remember, rely on anti-artillery fortifications to provide fire coverage, not only to ensure that the Japanese are shot, but also to ensure your own safety!"
"Yes!" the platoon leader responded.
……
At this time, under the instigation of Yamazaki, the little Japanese who were full of revenge were crazy, but they were not stupid. Their solid military quality allowed them to not forget to quickly pull the attacking troops who had climbed to the top of Lijia Slope into a group when they launched the final offensive.
The skirmisher line prevents concentrated damage from machine guns and artillery fire from the guard company, and then charges towards the defenses in the central area.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Eighty meters.
……
As the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the grenade launchers and various artillery pieces behind the Japanese army temporarily stopped their firepower to prevent accidental damage.
Listen to the shouts of the imperial warriors charging on the top of the slope.
The anger in Yamazaki's heart subsided a little, and he suddenly felt a little hope in his heart. Maybe this time the attack was successful, and after taking Lijiapo, he could turn around and continue to hold on.
"I, Yamazaki, may not be completely defeated yet!"
The words have not yet finished.
Sixty meters!
Fifty meters!
"Hit——"
The monk on the top of the slope roared angrily, and for the first time the soldiers of the guard company launched a full firepower offensive towards the Yamazaki Brigade.
Two light and heavy machine guns were set up on the left and right sides of the circular fortifications, pouring cross fire at the charging Japanese.
Nine crooked light machine guns roared together.
All the soldiers in the guard company had temporarily put down their rifles, replaced them with rifles with wooden butts, and adjusted them to continuous fire. They pulled the triggers and used them as mini-submachine guns to shoot at people as close as fifty meters away.
The Japanese fired wildly.
Plus the covering firepower of ten grenade launchers.
On Lijiapo, the battlefield situation reversed almost instantly.
The madness of revenge is no match for the fear of death!
When the soldiers of the guard company suddenly burst out with unprecedented powerful firepower and launched a unilateral massacre with a large-scale harvest-style massacre, the Japs No. 100 who was launching a death charge, within a moment, the psychological defense line completely collapsed.
Even if the attacking Japs pulled the offensive formation into a skirmish line.
But it still couldn't stop the intensive bullets and artillery fire from the security company soldiers behind the fortifications.
...At the forward observation post, the brigade commander couldn't help but applaud.
"What a Kong Jie, what a Monk Wei. We are still worried about the casualties of the security company. Who would have thought that the security company has been hiding its trump cards!"
……
Down Lijiapo.
When I heard the intensive sound of artillery and gunfire coming from the direction of the guard company.
The old devil Yamazaki's face turned ashen for a moment.
The original arrogance was lost in an instant, leaving only self-deprecation:
This is the enemy he has chased all the way; this is the Tubal Road that he does not care about; this is the opponent he thinks has backward equipment and scarce ammunition; this is the opponent he thinks he has in the previous ten minutes of artillery fire coverage.
The Eighth Route Army may have been completely wiped out.
In the end, the opponent still hid such powerful firepower.
It’s not an unjust loss!
Yamazaki lowered his head slumped, then raised his head, looking at the attacking troops retreating hastily from the top of the slope, turning his head and roaring at the dozen artillerymen who followed him at the end: "Covered by artillery fire, blow up all these bastards for me."
Die!"
At this moment, Crazy Yamasaki even completely ignored the Japanese soldiers who had not withdrawn in time.
Sensing Yamasaki's anger, the artillerymen quickly followed the order, and the artillery fire roared immediately, but soon stopped abruptly.
On a hillside a few hundred meters away, lurking commandos launched a surprise attack.
Several team members with sniper rifles took the lead in targeting the Japanese artillery and fired with such precision that nearly half of the dozen or so artillerymen left around Yamazaki were killed by snipers before they could continue firing.
At the same time, Li Yunlong finally led the fourth battalion to attack, and the two sides were less than 200 meters away.
Lao Li's roar blew along the cold wind:
"Damn it, there's no more tactics right now. Let's all launch a charge and beat up that son of a bitch Yamazaki Brigade. Kill——"
The loud "Charge" sound immediately echoed on Lijiapo.
The soldiers of the fourth battalion, carrying rifles, scrambled one by one to form a comprehensive encirclement formation and kill the last remaining Japanese in the Yamazaki Brigade.
The dozen or so Japs who had just managed to escape from the top of the slope alive turned around and faced the fire attack of Li Yunlong and his party.
Li Yunlong's attack was so fast that the Japanese did not even have time to recover, and the two sides were engaged in hand-to-hand combat in an instant.
The fighting lasted no more than ten minutes, and the Yamazaki brigade was completely wiped out at the bottom of the south slope.
The Japanese captain, Yamazaki Jihei, was beaten to a pulp by a machine gun during the charge of soldiers from the fourth battalion.
At this point, the battle in Lijiapo has come to an end...
