Finally, after nearly five hours of hard work by the soldiers, at three o'clock in the morning, all the trenches were basically dug. Facing the continuous trenches, the soldiers began to pass through the trenches one by one to the end.
Go to the frontier and confront the Japanese.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army's position was only 35 meters away from the Japanese army. The wooden-handled grenades in the hands of the soldiers could easily be thrown into the Japanese ring fortifications, while the melon grenades in the hands of the Japanese did no harm to the Eighth Route Army's trenches.
Unless there are soldiers with particularly strong arms in the Japanese army, there will not be many such soldiers, and they will not have much impact on the overall campaign.
Similarly, the 1st Battalion was still responsible for the assault mission of the entire brigade. Since the 1st Battalion lost nearly a company of troops in the last attack, Liu Hua directly transferred a company from the guard battalion to supplement the 1st Battalion. Therefore, at this time
Not only did the combat effectiveness of the 1st Battalion not decrease at all, but because of the newly selected guard companies, the combat effectiveness increased a lot.
According to the commander's order, the first battalion commander gathered all the wooden handle grenades in the whole battalion, a total of more than 500. All of them were concentrated in the hands of soldiers with strong arms, and they were ready to concentrate bombing on the position of the Japanese third team, using intensive
grenades to destroy their positions.
"Send flares." Looking at the regiments that had entered combat positions, Commander Liu Hua ordered to the chief of staff behind him.
"Bang bang bang" three gunshots were fired, three flares were fired into the sky, and three gorgeous fireworks exploded.
"Get ready to drop the bombs." A battalion commander shouted loudly. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yeah... yeah......" the whistling sound of grenades breaking through the air reached everyone's ears, and more than 100 grenades were thrown out by the soldiers.
The Japanese troops opposite the First Battalion had been in a state of fighting under the threat of the Eighth Route Army trenches. When they saw three signal flares rising from the opposite position, they all knew that the Eighth Route Army had begun to attack. So they all clenched the rifles in their hands and held steady.
They aimed towards the edge of the trench on the opposite side, hoping to be hit by them the moment the Eighth Route Army emerged. However, they did not see the heads of the Eighth Route Army, and did not hear the sound of machine guns or rifles.
All they saw was a group of grenades suddenly thrown out from the trench where they were aiming, aiming directly at their own position. The Japanese soldiers stared blankly at the approaching grenades. "Baga, grenades, hide quickly.
." The squad leader shouted loudly. However, he had no chance or place to hide.
More than 500 grenades exploded at a distance of no more than 100 meters in width. On average, at least 5 grenades were distributed in each meter of distance. Such a dense explosion and such a dense amount of shrapnel could not be avoided no matter where you tried to hide.
The soldiers could clearly hear the explosion of grenades and the wail of the Japs. Until the last round of grenade explosions, the Japs position was completely shrouded in smoke. The first battalion commander knew that this was a good opportunity. "Comrades,
Charge, avenge the sacrificed comrades, kill..." the first battalion commander shouted loudly, and was the first to rush out of the trench.
At the same time, just behind the battalion commander were nine light machine guns of the first battalion, spraying flames one after another. However, until the soldiers rushed to the Japanese position, they encountered no resistance. Walking into the Japanese position,
Only then did they discover that a Japanese squad had suffered almost all casualties under a grenade attack. The remaining dozen or so Japanese wounded soldiers were gathered together, holding up damaged rifles against the soldiers who rushed to the position.
"First company, destroy these Japs, second and third companies, then charge with me." Looking at the remaining dozen or so wounded Japs, the battalion commander showed no mercy. He led the soldiers quickly through the Japs' front-line positions, and at
Under the cover of machine guns, they continued to charge forward.
The Japs' first-line and second-line positions are 50 meters apart and connected to each other by communication trenches. Guarding the second-line position are two squads of troops. When they hear violent explosions from the position, they know that the first-line position should be at
The situation was in danger, so a small team of troops was immediately dispatched for reinforcements.
However, it was still not as fast as the Eighth Route Army. Just after the First Battalion occupied the position, a reinforcement team just set off. It had no idea that the front line position had been occupied by the Chinese army. However, the First Battalion also did not know that a Japanese team was
The troops are slowly approaching themselves through the communication trenches.
"No, there are Japanese soldiers." A soldier who was attacking along the communication trench suddenly found that a group of Japanese troops were approaching him quickly in the communication trench, so he shouted loudly. At the same time, he raised the rifle in his hand and pointed it at the nearby soldiers.
The Japs opened fire. Likewise, just when the soldier shouted, the Japs also discovered him. When the gunfire rang out, several bullets hit his body and he fell crookedly towards the traffic trench.
As a result, a small group of Japanese soldiers and two companies of the Eighth Route Army suddenly encountered each other at close range, and the distance between the encounters was less than ten meters. With a burst of gunfire, more than a dozen soldiers from both sides fell down. However, it was obvious that the soldiers
They suffered a loss.
The battalion commander looked at the dozens of Japs on the opposite side, and then at the two companies behind him. Immediately, a way to attack the Japs' second-line position appeared in his mind. "Comrades, don't retreat, there are only a few dozen Japs."
, rush up and fight them with bayonets." The battalion commander shouted loudly.
"Comrades, charge..." First, the party members in the camp took the lead and shouted loudly, rushing forward to face the Japanese bullets. The soldiers in front fell, and those behind followed them.
Finally, under the leadership of these party members, the soldiers lying on the ground stood up one after another, and rushed towards the Japanese on the opposite side with their rifles with bayonets fixed. Maybe they were full of enthusiasm, maybe they were moved by the spirit of the party members, and they faced each other.
Not a single soldier retreated from the flying bullets.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side looked at the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer, and slowly began to panic. It has always been said that the Imperial Army soldiers were not afraid of death, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers were cowards. However, today, in the face of flying bullets, the Eighth Route Army soldiers
Charging forward desperately, one after another, the Japanese on the opposite side were completely shocked by the spirit of the first battalion of soldiers.
The orderly formation of the Japanese army began to become chaotic. Slowly, these Japanese soldiers began to retreat while fighting. The soldiers would not give them a chance to escape. They kept biting the Japanese soldiers' tail tightly, neither annihilating them all nor giving up.
Just follow the Japanese closely.
Of course, everything that happened on the battlefield fell in the eyes of the Japs squad leader who stayed behind the second line of defense. Looking at the Eight Routers less than ten meters behind the fourth team, the squad leader was very anxious. Because he knew that the Eight Routers
His intention was to follow the retreating soldiers and break through his second line of defense in one fell swoop.
Now the squad leader has two choices in front of him. One is to retreat half of the squad of imperial troops in front of him to resist the Eighth Route Army. If this is the case, then he can only fight with the Eighth Route Army behind him. The other way is
To prevent the Japanese troops from retreating further, use machine guns to repel the Eighth Route Army, but if you do this, you will be charged with massacring your comrades.
Seeing the Eighth Route Army coming closer and closer, the team leader finally made the decision to fight the Eighth Route Army with bayonets, because he believed that the imperial army's bayonet skills would be able to kill all the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were rushing towards them.
"Everyone is here, fix your bayonets and kill them all..." The squad leader pulled out the command knife from his waist and pointed at the group of eight people who were charging toward the position.
"Kill me..." The Japs on the position shouted and rushed out of the position, and soon joined the retreating Japanese troops. Then nearly 2 squads of nearly 100 Japs soldiers rushed towards the charging battalion.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers rushing towards him, the first battalion commander showed a smile, because his combat intention had been realized. "Comrades, follow me to kill the Japanese soldiers." After saying that, he raised his shell gun and fired at the dense crowd of Japanese soldiers.
Formation, the few Japs at the front were immediately knocked to the ground by the dense bullets from the rifles.
It wasn't until the sound of the shell gun being empty was heard that he stopped, quickly inserted the gun into the holster on his waist, picked up a Japanese rifle on the ground, and entered the Japanese formation. The soldiers following the battalion commander
They also followed the same example. They first fired the bullets in their rifles and caused certain casualties to the Japanese, and then rushed towards the Japanese formation.
Just like that, with a burst of messy gunfire, dozens of soldiers fell down in the Japanese charging team. However, the distance between the two armies was too close at this time to allow any reaction from the two parties.
The two troops collided with each other. In the dark night, all you could see was the flash of swords on the battlefield, and you could hear the soldiers' shouts of killing and the wails of the Japanese.
Finally, after a few minutes, the brutal hand-to-hand combat gradually determined the winner. The battalion with the numerical advantage, at the cost of almost two platoons, completely annihilated the two squads of Japs and occupied the enemy's second-line position.
.
The second-line position is the last line of defense for the Japanese, which indicates that the second battalion has entered the hinterland of the Japanese. The first battalion that breaks through the second-line position is like Sun Wukong entering the belly of the Bull Demon King, rushing fiercely on the Japanese position.
The attack quickly disrupted the original formation of the Japanese. Under the attack of the tiger from the 1st Battalion, the rear of the Japanese began to become chaotic. Similarly, this chaos also directly affected the regiment headquarters.
"Baga, a battalion of the Eighth Route Army beat you like this. It's really a disgrace to the Imperial Army. Quickly organize the troops and deploy two squadrons from the front line to eliminate this unit." Captain Okamoto shouted loudly. So, in order to
After destroying the regiments and battalions that entered the Japanese positions, the Japanese began to mobilize troops from the first and second line positions.
The remaining troops of the independent brigade have been staring at the Japanese defense line with eager eyes, watching the Japanese defensive positions becoming more and more chaotic. They are also constantly moving troops to the rear. They know that this is a rare thing created by the regiment and the company.
Opportunity.
"Come on..." The troops who were ambushing in front of the Japanese position rushed out of the trenches and rushed towards the Japanese position. Gradually, these shouts of killing became one. The entire battlefield seemed to be filled with the soldiers' shouts of killing.
Covered by the sound of the sound. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, the soldiers bravely rushed towards the Japanese positions that were full of loopholes, regardless of casualties...
