"Comrades, enter the position..." Xu Bin shouted loudly to the more than a hundred soldiers around him, holding a light machine gun and ran to the position not far away. The soldiers followed the battalion commander closely.
Behind them. Although the soldiers had just witnessed the artillery fire of the Japs several times, everyone was still shocked by the scene in front of them. Because, after being baptized by Japanese artillery fire, the entire top of the mountain had been completely blown up by artillery fire.
It was flat. There was no trace of the bunker that had just been built with sandbags. The soldiers stepped on the soft and hot ground and quickly reached the edge of the highland.
At this time, the Japanese attack had already begun. Under the cover of countless light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese troops all over the field were like swarms of locusts, slowly crawling towards the top of the mountain. What surprised Xu Bin even more was that the Japanese troops
Since a squadron of Japs were also sent to attack on both wings of the position, it was obvious that the Japs wanted to eat up the Eighth Route Army on the mountain in one fell swoop and occupy the high ground.
"Battal Commander, the little Japs really think highly of our battalion. Haha, they actually dispatched a large group of troops. Battalion Commander, just give the order. We have already eliminated three squadrons of the Japs. That's enough for us.
Now. Let's earn one for each one we kill. Give us the order, battalion commander..." The second company commander looked at the densely packed Japanese troops in front of him and said with disdain on his face.
"Batalion Commander, just give the order..." More than a hundred soldiers behind him followed the second company commander's words.
"Comrades, very good, you are all good. Now I order, commander of the second company, you to lead two squads of soldiers and five light machine guns to defend the left flank of the high ground. Commander of the first company and platoon, you lead two squads
and five light machine guns to defend the right wing of the position. The remaining people will defend with me head-on. Remember, if you are in the position, hold on until the last person..." Xu Bin ordered loudly.
"Yes, we are here, we will not retreat until we die..." the soldiers roared in unison. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they quickly arrived at their respective positions.
Because the enemy's artillery fire was too fierce, and the sacks in the hands of the soldiers had been exhausted, almost the entire surface of the position was covered by thick floating soil. Therefore, facing hundreds of little devils, the soldiers did not fight again
When building fortifications, they just looked for a slightly deeper crater, then lay down directly in the crater, and began to check their weapons and ammunition, or load bullets for the weapons in their hands...
At this time, only the sound of bullets being loaded and the sounds of soldiers loading bullets could be heard in the quiet position.
"Boom..." Finally, there was an explosion of a grenade, breaking the quiet position. A grenade launched by a Japs grenade fell on the position. Immediately afterwards, there were countless grenades one after another.
The grenades began to explode continuously on the position. The soldiers lying in the crater, as soon as they heard the grenade explosion, almost all stopped what they were doing, clenched the various weapons in their hands, and began to hold their breath
, quietly taking aim at the little devil who was getting closer and closer.
"Hit..." When the little devil entered the 200-meter shooting range, a huge roar sounded on the position. Immediately afterwards, countless tongues of fire spurted out from the position that was peaceful just now. More than ten tongues.
Tongues of fire began to wantonly harvest the lives of the little devils in front of the position.
At this time, the Japanese captain seemed to be fighting crazy. Facing the intensive firepower on the top of the mountain, he did not let the soldiers stop and fight back. Instead, he ordered the grenade launchers around him to continuously eliminate the Eighth Route Army's firepower points, and then drove the troops to continue charging.
The Japanese troops in front were defeated, and those behind continued to make up for it.
In less than a minute, although the little devil was defeated by almost half of the squadron, Xu Bin, who was guarding the position, also suffered huge losses. So far, it has only been less than a minute since the battle started.
Four machine gun fire points had been hit by the Japs' grenades because they were not transferred in time.
Facing the dense grenade launchers of the Japs, Xu Bin began to constantly move his machine gun position, and kept pulling the trigger at the place where the Japs were most densely populated. However, there were too many Japs who had to go through.
In addition to this attack, the captain of the second battalion issued a military order in front of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Sakata.
Therefore, although so far, the number of imperial soldiers who have fallen on the offensive road has exceeded the strength of the two squads. However, he has also achieved fruitful results because he has already attacked to a distance of 100 meters in front of the Eighth Route Army position, and even more
The important thing is that the Eighth Route Army's firepower at this time was less than half of what it was before the war. There is another important reason why the captain charged regardless of the loss, that is, although his second brigade suffered a lot of losses in the battle just now, after all
There are still nearly 700 troops. The captain does not care about the loss of more than 100 people.
"Yo Xi, there are not many people left in the Eighth Route Army. Now is a good opportunity for our Imperial Army to make meritorious deeds. For the sake of the empire, we must kill everyone and eliminate the Eighth Route Army in front of us..." Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's machine gun fire was once again thrown by his own brigade.
After the bullet killed one, the captain couldn't help but feel excited. He raised the command knife in his hand and encouraged him loudly.
"Kill...annihilate the Eighth Route Army..." Hearing the captain's cry, the soldiers shouted excitedly. With their rifles loaded with bayonets, they charged towards the position even more unscrupulously.
However, the Eighth Route Army on the position was indeed at the point of life and death at this time. After a few minutes of fighting, there were less than 40 troops left on the entire highland. The heavy firepower in the hands of the soldiers was basically eliminated by the grenades of the little Japanese.
It was completely destroyed. However, what Xu Bin was most worried about happened. Amidst the violent grenade explosions on his right wing, no more gunshots were heard.
"Xiao Wang, bring five men to reinforce our right-wing position and we must not let the little Japs rush into our position..." Seeing that there were less than forty troops left on the position, he looked at the silent right-wing position.
, Xu Bin gritted his teeth and ordered to a platoon leader next to him.
"Yes, battalion commander, the five of you are following me. Get your grenades ready...charge..." Under the leadership of Xiao Wang, the five soldiers followed closely behind them. However, the one who walked to the right wing position
The five soldiers did not see the soldiers holding on here, but they came face-to-face with the little Japanese who had just rushed to the position.
"Throw a grenade..." Seeing the little Jaap looking at himself and the five soldiers around him in astonishment, Xiao Wang quickly shouted loudly and threw out the grenade he had held in his hand earlier.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Several violent grenade explosions exploded in the pile of little Japs, knocking down a dozen or so proud little Japs. However, just when he was about to lead five soldiers into the position,
, more than a hundred follow-up troops of the Little Japs appeared in front of them again. Facing the more than one hundred follow-up troops of the Little Japs, there would definitely be no time to open fire and block the attack.
"Comrades, fight me with bayonets..." The six men held up their rifles with bayonets in their hands. Under the leadership of platoon leader Xiao Wang, they rushed into the crowd of Japanese without any hesitation. But, after all,
The strength of the Eighth Route Army was limited. In less than half a minute, six grenade explosions were heard in the formation of the Japs.
"Yo Xi, they are real soldiers..." Seeing that only six Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him had caused no less than 20 casualties to his squadron, the Japanese squadron leader could not help but praise. However, for himself
He really didn't relax in any way.
"Warriors of the Empire, the Eighth Route Army has now become the last force in the war effort. Let us rush to their positions, destroy them with bayonets, and avenge the fallen Imperial warriors. Kill them..." The Japanese squadron leader who had rushed to the high ground looked at
He went to the front position of the Eighth Route Army less than a hundred meters away from him, raised the command knife in his hand, and gave a loud order.
"Kill..." Maybe they saw that there were really only a few dozen Eighth Route Army soldiers left on the position. After hearing the order from their squadron leader, the remaining 100 little devils roared in unison, asking Xu Bin
The frontal position they held firm was rushed over.
"Battal Commander, Battalion Commander... Our right-wing position has been occupied by the Japs, and the Japs have rushed over from behind us." Battalion Commander Xu Bin, who was frantically pulling the trigger, heard that he was loading bullets next to him.
The voice of the correspondent made him startled, and he turned to look in the direction of his right wing. Sure enough, more than a hundred little Japs were rushing toward his back with shining bayonets.
"Comrades, now we have been surrounded by little Japs. We all have our bayonets fixed, fight one by one, and defend the position to the death..." At this time, Xu Bin could no longer care about anything, picked up a rifle next to him and started.
Put on the bayonet. The less than 20 soldiers left around him also followed Xu Bin, stopped shooting, replaced the guns in their hands with Japanese 38 caps, and waited for Xu Bing's order.
"Tick-tock-tick...boom-boom-boom..." Just as Xu Bin was about to order the soldiers around him to rush out, suddenly, a familiar charge horn sounded behind him, followed by a thunderous blast.
The cry of killing... Countless soldiers, with rifles with bayonets drawn, rushed out from behind the high ground. At the same time, in the middle of the Charge, there was the sound of exploding mortar shells. Several mortars were fired.
The artillery shell accurately landed in the formation of the Japs who were charging behind him. In an instant, the neat charging formation was blown to pieces by the shells. What followed was intense machine gun firepower behind the Japs.
Because at this time, the little Jaap was charging from behind, and the troops who came to reinforce also launched a charge behind the little Jaap, dense bullets were harvesting the lives of the little Jaap's team little by little.
.
"Comrades, our reinforcements are here. Go ahead and kill the little devils in front of you..." Seeing the reinforcements, Xu Bin couldn't help but feel excited. He threw down the 38-meter cover in his hand and picked it up after he had thrown it on the ground.
The light machine gun on the side began to pull the trigger at the approaching Japs, and several dense tongues of flames were fired at the unprepared Japs from the front.
Soon, in the process of Xu Bin and the reinforcements coming to attack front and back, a hundred little Japanese were eliminated in less than two minutes. At this time, the Japanese Second Battalion, which launched a frontal charge, had already rushed to a distance from the Eighth Route Army position.
Less than 20 meters away, a small group of Japs at the front of the team began to throw grenades at the position.
"No... the little devil is coming. Comrades, come with me..." Xu Bin heard the explosion of grenades behind him and was about to talk to the commander of the first battalion of the third regiment who came for reinforcements.
He shouted loudly at the soldiers around him. Regardless of whether it was his own troops or not, he led everyone towards the position they had just taken.
"Prepare grenades..." Xu Bin ordered the soldiers behind him while charging. At the same time, he also took out a grenade from his waist.
"Throw..." Just when he and the soldiers were about to approach the position, Xu Bin pulled the safety of the grenade in his hand, delayed it for three seconds, and used his running speed to throw it down the mountain. And behind him,
When the soldiers heard the order, they also threw the grenades in their hands. Suddenly, more than a hundred grenades crossed the position and hit the Japanese soldiers who were only ten meters away from the position.
"Boom..." The dense explosions suddenly destroyed the Japanese team charging at the front and almost wiped out the whole army. At this time, Xu Bin had already led everyone into the position. With the smoke generated by the explosion of grenades,
Everyone quickly found the cover, set up their machine guns, and started to pull the triggers at the Japanese troops less than thirty meters away.
"Da da da..." As the reinforcements arrived one after another, more and more machine guns began to join the massacre. Even the few mortars behind them that had just been replenished with shells were not to be left behind and joined in the attack on the small group.
The ranks of the Japanese counterattack.
"Baga! Where did the Eighth Route Army come from with such intensive firepower? Bagalu, grenades, eliminate these firepower points immediately..." The soldiers looking at the front were constantly knocked down by the powerful firepower coming from the top of the mountain.
On the ground, the Japanese captain cursed loudly and ordered the grenade launchers behind the position to fire. He did not know that his attacking troops were now less than 30 meters away from the Eighth Route Army position. If his grenade launchers fired
, wouldn’t it mean that even you would be bombed?
"Baga, retreat, retreat quickly..." In the end, the Japanese captain could no longer bear the feeling of being beaten by all kinds of firepower from the Eighth Route Army. After losing more than a squadron of troops, he had to order a retreat.
The command.
However, the soldiers did not miss the opportunity to beat the drowned dog. However, after experiencing the retaliatory shelling by the Japanese artillery, Xu Bin did not let the soldiers rush out of their positions and become victims of the Japanese artillery fire. Instead, he ordered the soldiers behind him to replenish the artillery shells.
The artillery platoon, together with the third regiment and the first battalion, came over with three mortars as reinforcements. They exploded randomly at the retreating team of the little Japanese, leaving behind the corpses of a small group of Japanese soldiers again.
However, the captain of the retreating Japanese Second Battalion couldn't help but become furious when he learned that not only had he failed to make any achievements, but had also caused his brigade to lose hundreds of troops in vain. However, when he saw
The remaining 400 troops under his command were already killing people like crazy. The irrational captain once again ordered his brigade to prepare for a charge. Then he asked the artillery brigade behind him to carry out indiscriminate artillery bombardment on the high ground.
Of course, just as the Japs' attacking troops began to retreat, Xu Bin had already led the reinforcements to quickly retreat to the back of the mountain top, leaving the Japs an empty position.
"Chief of Staff, I was scared to death just now. Just a little bit later, the position was occupied by the little Japs. It's really suspenseful." Seeing that the little Japs abandoned the corpses of almost two squadrons, he retreated in embarrassment.
, Liu Hua, who had been paying attention to the position, breathed a sigh of relief and said to the equally nervous chief of staff beside him.
"Yes, I didn't expect the fight to be so brutal. In the end, there were only a dozen people left in the two companies. I must give credit to Xu Bin when the time comes." the chief of staff replied.
"Commander, the Japanese bombardment has started again. It seems that the Japanese commander is determined not to give up until he hits the south wall. Let's accompany him to slowly weaken its troops." Seeing that the Japanese bombardment has started again,
The chief of staff continued.
"Haha, the chief of staff is right, this is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. Besides, there is a main force of our battalion on the top of the mountain now. With the two squadrons in the hands of the little devil, we can't do anything to them. We are sitting in command now
Let's wait for the best time to launch a general attack!" Liu Hua said with a smile, sitting calmly on an ammunition box in the headquarters.
At this time, a situation attracted the attention of Chief of Staff Li Qing...
"Haha, Commander, this time the little devil will shed his skin even if he doesn't die. Come, come and see, what good thing did I discover?" Seeing the telescope, the Chief of Staff, who had always remained calm, was rarely seen.
He said with a smile.
"Uh, what a good thing..." Liu Hua knew that the chief of staff must have discovered some fighter plane, so he quickly walked out of the headquarters, picked up the telescope, and looked at the Japanese position.
"Where..." Liu Hua asked while searching.
"Commander, look at the artillery position of the little devil. The little devil has sent us cannons," the chief of staff said with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Hua quickly looked towards the Japanese artillery position. He saw 18 Japanese cannons of various types, arranged in two rows, firing shells continuously towards the high ground, and there was no change..."
Chief of Staff, there are no changes in the artillery positions of the Japs..." Liu Hua asked doubtfully.
"You are taking a closer look at the defensive strength of the artillery position..." At the reminder of the chief of staff, Liu Hua looked over again. Sure enough, the defense strength of a squadron on the Japanese artillery position was being mobilized back and forth. Less than
After a while, about two squads of troops were assembled, and under the leadership of a Japanese officer, they detoured towards the flank of the high ground.
