695 Epilogue: Heavy damage to the Japanese invaders (2)
At this time, over at the 28th Regiment, Commander Lu was leading the main force to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops.
In an emergency battle situation with heavy artillery fire.
Duan Peng, the Japanese squad leader, suddenly arrived with a squad, which did not arouse any suspicion among the Japanese and puppet troops who were fighting behind the fortifications.
At this time, Du Peng raised his right hand, placed it on the back of his head, and quickly conveyed the order of group combat in sign language.
The team was immediately divided into five groups, almost four people in groups, and scattered towards several grenade positions of the Japanese army.
The monks and Duan Peng selected this time are elites from the independent regiment. In addition, they have received special training on weekdays, so they can fight in this situation quite quickly.
The five combat teams dispersed without leaving a trace, after each was ready at the preparatory combat location.
The gunfire started first from the monk's side.
I saw this Japanese officer wearing a Japanese-style Showa Type 5 military uniform and wearing the rank of Japanese Warrant Officer, quietly taking the M1 Garand rifle handed over by the soldier behind him.
Then he stood more than fifty meters away from the Japanese defenses and slowly pulled the trigger.
The first click was as slow as a snail, and then the speed of pulling the trigger was like a woodpecker pecking at the tree trunk quickly.
Dong dong dong——
In other words, bang bang bang bang bang——
The monk raised his gun and fired the first shot of the sneak attack.
He quickly pulled the trigger, barely taking aim. He obviously needed to pull the trigger. The semi-automatic rifle that fired bullets one bullet at a time was firing in his hand as fast as a low-end version of a light machine gun.
of.
What is even more shocking is his precise marksmanship. On the Japanese grenade position that was first targeted by him, there were three Japanese grenade soldiers, plus two Japanese loaders.
Only five gunshots were heard, and they were all killed.
In less than eight seconds, the eight bullets in the magazine of the M1 Garand rifle were empty.
Soldiers from other combat groups opened fire together.
Duan Peng also got a Garand rifle in his hand and took the lead in destroying the Japanese artillery.
How unexpected was the sudden battle for the Japanese?
It's like you are resting on your bed in a home that you think is absolutely safe, and suddenly a strong man jumps in.
It's so abrupt.
Didn't give the little devil any psychological defense.
If not for the purpose of disguising themselves as Japanese troops, most of the soldiers would be equipped with Type 38 rifles, with only three Garand rifles as their main firepower.
Just this sneak attack is enough for the little devil to drink a pot.
The soldiers' sneak attacks were like lightning. After a quick wave of sneak attacks, three of the combat groups raised their signal pistols vertically and fired their signal guns in the air.
Then rush to the rear, relying on houses and other buildings as bunkers, and retreat quickly.
Kazuo Nakano, who was commanding at the edge of the fortifications, was stunned.
The gunfire in front was still ringing, and the gunfire from behind suddenly sounded.
When he turned around and looked around, on the other side of the fortification, on the grenade position he had set up, artillerymen were being shot one by one.
A few dozen meters away from the rear, the appearance of a small group of men wearing Japanese military uniforms who attacked from the back made Kazuo Nakano stunned at first, and then became furious.
These damn Tuballu actually sneaked in disguised as imperial soldiers.
"Baga, destroy them!"
Kazuo Nakano angrily raised his command sword high and pointed in the direction of Duan Peng and his party.
The Japanese army came to their senses and began to fight back. When Duan Peng, Monk and his party saw that the sneak attack was successful, they fired the signal gun again and quickly retreated.
Specially made flare bullets with eye-catching pigments.
After being shot into the air, it exploded directly, followed by a burst of brilliant colors on the sky.
Rear area.
He was staring intently at the three rows of long pines and green mountains in the Japanese position area. Seeing the three eye-catching colors rising in the air, he quickly adjusted his mortar fire at Zhu Yuan, directed the coordinates marked by the signal gun, and issued the order to cover the fire.
.
Boom——
First there was a round of test firing, and then after adjusting the impact point of the gun, there was an uninterrupted continuous bombardment.
One after another, M49 grenades specially designed for M2-type 60mm mortars exploded on the Japanese outer defenses.
This sudden bombardment directly blocked the Japanese and puppet troops on the outer fortifications who were preparing to pursue Duan Peng, Monk and his party.
Nakano Kazuo understood in an instant that the purpose of this group of Tobali who had infiltrated disguised as Imperial warriors was clearly for his own grenade.
There is actually artillery fire from behind, these Tubal Roadmen really deserve to die.
Covered by 60 mortar fire, the Japanese army's grenade firepower was temporarily suppressed and unable to raise its head.
Outside Xiaoli Village.
Five or six hundred meters away, Captain Lu was observing the Japanese defenses with a telescope. When he saw the shells exploding in the Japanese camp, but it was clearly not from his own side, ecstasy appeared on his face.
"It must be the second battalion commander and the others. They are coordinating our attack!"
After making a quick judgment, Commander Lu ordered without any hesitation: "Give me the order, the bugler will blow the charge bugle, and all ministries will immediately launch a general attack!"
The monks and the others suppressed the Japanese grenade firepower, which was a rare condition created for our own attack.
Dududududududu——
The distinctive loudspeaker "Charge" belonging to the Eighth Route Army pierced the sky above Xiaoli Village.
The 28 soldiers quickly opened up a long offensive line and rushed toward the Japanese outer defenses like a tide.
This is the general of the Eighth Route Army. He is courageous and fearless, and is good at seizing fleeting opportunities on the battlefield.
The tacit cooperation between Captain Lu, Sun Chuanzhong, and Monk can be said to be the key to turning the tide of the war right now.
The balance of the war began to tilt toward the Eighth Route Army.
Looking at the sudden attack launched by the main force of the 28th Regiment, Kazuo Nakano was suddenly frightened.
"Counterattack, counterattack—immediately launch a firepower offensive to repel the eight-pronged attack!"
Kazuo Nakano, who held his command sword high, roared. He could no longer care about Duan Peng and his party who were attacking from behind and quickly evacuated.
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army has launched a general attack!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Sir, the situation is very bad. The Eighth Route Army in the village launched a fierce attack from the back of our army and has now broken through the inner defenses!"
There really is a tiger in front and a pursuer behind.
News came one after another that Kazuo Nakano was not well.
On the one hand, this old devil is angry, and on the other hand, he is frightened.
The two groups of Eighth Route Army troops who were clearly divided by themselves inside and outside the village were able to cooperate so tacitly on internal and external offensives.
This really exceeded his expectations.
According to his understanding, the only way to achieve such tacit cooperation is to have a device in hand that can transmit communications at any time.
But the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is backward, how could it have such communication means?
"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the Eighth Route Army has a large number of people and fierce artillery fire at the moment. We continue to hold on to the defense. I am afraid that the disaster will be worse. I suggest that we make a strategic shift immediately!"
Seeing the situation reversed, the Japanese adjutant said from the side.
Kazuo Nakano hesitated slightly.
On the one hand, he was full of unwillingness. He originally set up a good ambush, used the common people to lure the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and then surrounded and annihilated the Eighth Route Army in Xiaoli Village.
Now it turns out that if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
On the other hand, due to the previous battle in the village, there were a large number of wounded.
If there is an emergency evacuation now, these wounded people will definitely not be taken care of, and they will have to give up in vain.
Do you want to leave those injured Imperial soldiers alone like this?
No, this is in no way in line with the principles of the warriors of the Japanese Empire!
Kazuo Nakano roared in his heart, and then said to the adjutant: "Organize the rearguard troops, immediately cover the main force to move towards the county seat, and contact the reinforcements from the outside for support!"
"Hi!" the Japanese adjutant responded and immediately made preparations.
Kazuo Nakano continued to command the troops to fight back.
When the order to retreat was given, the little Japs quickly made use of the surrounding housing environment to retreat while fighting.
Sun Chuanzhong and Commander Lu were attacking from inside and outside, constantly inflicting wounds on the Japanese and puppet troops.
"Comrades, we can't win this little devil. He wants to run away. Let's catch up and kill as many as we can!"
Seeing the Japanese troops retreating rapidly through the telescope, Sun Chuanzhong gave the order with some excitement.
The soldiers of the cavalry company and the monk, Duan Peng and his entourage pursued and killed them all the way.
The casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops increased rapidly.
Commander Lu led the main force and successfully occupied the outer defense fortifications that the Japanese army abandoned voluntarily three minutes later.
The Japanese retreated in panic toward the county seat.
The battle lasted for more than twenty minutes.
During the pursuit, the main force of the 28th Regiment successfully met up with Sun Chuanzhong, Monk, and Duan Peng.
Seeing that his second battalion commander was safe and sound, and that the monk and Duan Peng were also alive and kicking, Commander Lu's heart was relieved.
At the moment, regardless of exchanging pleasantries, a few people continued to lead the troops in pursuit.
Finally, they encountered the final Japanese attack at the entrance of Lijia Village, and the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.
The monk noticed that the firepower of the Japanese fortifications was not very strong, and the number of machine guns was not too many.
He and Duan Peng quickly led two teams, detoured from left and right, and attacked the Japanese army at the entrance of the village from the back.
Under attack from both sides, the battle lasted for nearly ten minutes.
When the soldiers broke through the Japanese defenses and looked around, they were all secretly shocked.
It turned out that behind the fortifications, there were a large number of wounded Japanese soldiers fighting forcibly with weapons.
There are many little devils whose bodies are inlaid with steel balls, fragments, and stained with blood. I wonder if they will die in the next moment.
The monk and his entourage also immediately understood that this little devil was indeed ruthless. He actually took the initiative to leave the wounded soldiers behind and cut off their arms to survive.
Commander Lu yelled: "Listen up, little Japs and two Japs. Hand over your guns and don't kill them. The Eighth Route Army will give preferential treatment to prisoners!"
Boom——
Before Commander Lu finished speaking, an inexperienced Eighth Route Army soldier came a little closer to a wounded Japanese soldier. He thought that the wounded Japanese soldier was already dying, but he didn't expect that the little Japanese soldier suddenly pulled out the gun hidden under his body.
Grenade latch.
With a loud noise, the little devil was almost blown to pieces, and the soldier who was closer was also scratched by the fragments.
Immediately afterwards, the explosion seemed to cause a chain reaction.
The injured little devils' originally painful and indifferent expressions suddenly showed smiles, mixed with madness.
They suddenly started singing, and what they sang was Japan's national anthem or a military song. Of course the soldiers couldn't understand it.
Immediately afterwards, everyone fired the grenades in their hands.
A series of explosions sounded, and all the wounded Japanese soldiers No. 70 and 80 were killed in the explosion.
This scene happened suddenly and was really shocking.
Only some puppet soldiers were afraid of death, so they quickly threw away their guns and crawled out from behind the fortifications.
The Japanese songs sung by the Japanese soldiers were still ringing in my ears, and I saw the broken limbs and broken arms on the ground after the explosion.
The soldiers were silent.
Even though they were enemies, they were shocked by the madness of these Japanese soldiers.
The monk's laughter suddenly sounded, and his words were almost mocking:
"Comrades, what is this? Do you think their madness can scare us?"
"As an aggressor, when did he, the bastard little devil, become so shameless and express his bravery in this way?"
"When it comes to not being afraid of death, and speaking of bravery and fearlessness, what can compare to the people's army that protects our country, our people, and our parents behind us?"
"The more the devils use this method to scare us, the more we must use practical actions to tell the little devils that anyone who dares to invade China will be destroyed by our Eighth Route Army in the most brutal way!"
"Kill——"
Accompanied by the furious roar, the soldiers quickly shook their spirits, came to their senses, and roared loudly at the Japanese soldiers who were blown into a puddle of mud.
Kill——
The cry of killing instantly echoed over the entire position.
The initial shock turned into a rising belief in victory.
So what if they are well-equipped, have abundant artillery fire, and are as strong as a little devil?
Aren't we the Eighth Route Army who were beaten so hard that the wounded soldiers were left behind, and these little devils were forced to commit suicide?
At this time, the scouts who had continued the pursuit returned and reported to Commander Lu:
"Report to the captain, the Japs have escaped from No. 100. There seems to be Japs reinforcements from the rear. We can't continue the pursuit."
Commander Lu nodded and ordered: "Comrades, hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"
