"Comrades, fight for me..." I saw three skirmisher lines, about a squadron of little Japs. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, they had already rushed to a place 150 meters in front of their position. The first battalion commander did not hesitate.
He hesitantly ordered the soldiers around him to fire. Suddenly, countless firepower points appeared in the trench that was silent just now. The airtight bullets hit the unprepared team of little Japs, causing a bloodbath.
Rain. Although the Japs were arranged in a loose formation of skirmishers at this time, the dense rain of bullets still caused the loss of at least half of the Japanese charging squadron.
"Baga. Machine gun, machine gun cover, fire immediately, continue charging..." The Japanese squadron leader who led the team saw more than twenty imperial soldiers lying in a pool of blood in front of him. He had no intention of stopping and charged.
The soldiers ordered loudly. Immediately, the remaining more than 100 Japanese troops, except for a few machine gunners who lay on the ground and began to fire suppressively, and the grenade launchers began to continuously fire grenades into the position, the remaining soldiers lowered their heads one after another.
His own body, charging and shooting at the same time.
As for the one battalion and two companies that stood firm on the position, facing the desperate charge and accurate marksmanship of the little Japanese, the casualties of the troops suddenly increased sharply. Each machine gun position and the machine gunners on the position were hit by the little Japanese's grenade.
Knock it off. One by one, the exposed soldiers were hit by the precise bullets of the Japanese riflemen and fell into a pool of blood.
In less than a few minutes, the two infantry companies on the position had lost nearly two platoons, nearly one-third of their strength, and almost all of them were killed. As for the little devils, except for the two who had just been knocked down by their own surprise firepower,
In addition to more than a dozen soldiers, less than 30 Japs fell in the past few minutes of shooting. What made the soldiers even more stressed was that the remaining more than a hundred Japs were under the command of the squadron leader.
Next, they have advanced to a distance of less than 100 meters in front of the position.
"Correspondent, hurry up and notify the Third Company to come for reinforcements immediately. Hurry... order the artillery company Commander Li to fire artillery to reinforce us no matter what. Hurry..." Seeing that the casualties of the troops are increasing, the position has reached a precarious point.
To the point where the battalion commander had to use his reserve team during the Japs' first attack.
"Yes, battalion commander..." The correspondent turned and left the position under heavy artillery fire.
However, the commander of the first battalion, who was caught in a bitter battle, had not waited for the reinforcements from the third company of the reserve team, but he had waited for a more violent attack by the Japs. The captain of the Japanese second battalion saw that although the attacking squadron had lost almost half of its troops,
However, the attack reached less than a hundred meters away from the Eighth Route Army's position and caused huge casualties to the Eighth Route Army on the ground.
Seeing that the Eighth Route Army's position was in a precarious position under the attack of the Imperial Army with less than 100 people left, and could be vulnerable at any time. The captain immediately knew that his opportunity had come, so he decisively ordered the remaining
The last squadron of more than 200 men attacked and stormed the Eighth Route Army's position, striving to break through the Eighth Route Army's position in one fell swoop.
The addition of more than 200 reinforcements suddenly increased the firepower of the Japanese army several times. Suddenly, only one company of troops was left on the position, feeling unprecedented pressure. Under the intensive bombardment of the Japanese army,
Under the blow of the rain, the soldiers on the position had almost no room to fight back. One by one, the soldiers who showed up were hit by the Japanese army's precise marksmanship and fell in a pool of blood.
"Kill..." The captain of the Japanese Second Battalion, who was behind the Japanese assault troops, saw an opportunity. He immediately pulled out his command knife and shouted loudly to the soldiers in front of him, ordering the soldiers to launch a new attack.
Wheel of Charge.
"Kill them..." After receiving the order from the captain, the more than 300 Japanese troops in front of the position stood up from the ground with rifles with bayonets fixed in their hands, and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army on the position while charging.
, while firing.
The first battalion commander saw the Japs getting closer and closer, and looked at the position where there were less than 100 soldiers left. The first battalion commander also became anxious and kept looking behind the position, hoping that his reserve team could
Hurry up and come over. However, he didn't see anything. All he saw was the little Japs getting closer and closer and the dense bullets above his head.
"Comrades, fix your bayonets. Prepare to fight with the Japs on the bayonet. Even if you die, you can't let the Japs occupy the position..." Seeing the soldiers who were overwhelmed by the dense rain of bullets from the Japs, they couldn't even raise their heads to fight back.
We, the battalion commander had no choice but to give the order to prepare for the assassination.
Soon, the soldiers who received the order began to put bayonets on the rifles in their hands, and some soldiers began to take out all their grenades and pull out the fuses from the projectiles one by one. There was no soldier, because there were countless grenades in front of them.
He was terrified of the little Japs, and there was only one expression visible on everyone's face, that of calmness...
"Boom, boom, boom..." Just when the little devil rushed less than fifty meters in front of the position and the soldiers were preparing to make the final attack, a violent explosion sounded in the little devil's attack formation. Countless little devils
The Japs were ruthlessly torn into pieces amidst bursts of explosions. The three hundred little Japs who were charging with full force were also blown away by the sudden artillery fire. They all lay down on the ground and stopped attacking.
"Haha... Our artillery battery has opened fire... Comrades, don't save bullets for me, hit me hard... Bombardier, throw grenades for me, quickly..." Seeing the little devil
The people who were blasted by the sudden and intensive artillery fire were thrown off their backs, and a battalion commander shouted excitedly. At the same time, he also seized the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to open fire, taking the opportunity to suppress the firepower of the little Japs.
"Da da da..." Suddenly, the sound of intensive gunfire was heard on the battlefield. The soldiers, who had been suppressed for a long time, received the order, stretched out their heads, took out all their weapons, and fired with their fastest fire.
With such speed, he fired the bullets from his weapon at the Japanese.
"Battal Commander, this sound of artillery doesn't seem to be coming from the artillery position behind us, it seems to be coming from behind the little devil..." Seeing the dense artillery shells on the Japanese position, the surviving first company commander next to him reminded the battalion commander next to him
road.
"Yes... there are mountain artillery and field artillery behind us, and dozens of mortars are shelling the little devil... Could it be... could it be that the troops have launched a general attack..." Battalion Commander
He said with excitement on his face. However, soon, loud blasts of charging horns proved his guess.
It turned out that after learning that the 1st Regiment of the Third Division had occupied the artillery position of the Little Japanese, they completely wiped out the Little Japanese artillery brigade. More importantly, the remaining troops of the Little Japanese Sakata Regiment, which numbered less than 2,000, were divided into two.
Liu Hua, who was far away at the headquarters, keenly felt that this was a very good opportunity, and the time had come for the troops to launch a general offensive.
After a brief discussion with Chief of Staff Li Qing, the two decided to launch a general attack on the remaining troops of the Japanese Bantian Regiment in advance, and wipe out the Japanese Sakata Regiment in one fell swoop at the minimum cost in the shortest possible time...
"Communications staff officer, immediately connect the phone calls of all the units that can be reached, quickly..." Liu Hua, who had made up his mind, immediately ordered to the communications staff officer behind him. After a while, more than a dozen connected calls were placed in order.
was placed in front of Liu Hua.
"We now order the first and second regiments of the third division and their artillery units to launch a final general attack on the remaining forces of the Japanese second and third brigade. Comrade Li Yong, commander-in-chief of the campaign and commander of the first regiment. The specific attack time is Li Yong.
Comrade makes his own decision. The first and third regiments of the rapid reaction brigade, the artillery regiment, and the cavalry regiment will launch a general attack on the Japanese military wing headquarters. I will personally direct the general attack. The general attack time will be ten minutes later. All regiments are requested to carry forward the heroic spirit of the independent division.
With the fearless spirit of sacrifice, we will completely annihilate the Japanese Bantian Regiment and avenge our fallen comrades..." Liu Hua ordered one by one into the microphone.
"Yes, resolutely complete the mission..." Soon, the voices of commanders at all levels came from the dozen microphones in front of them.
Now that he had received the total order, Li Yong put down the phone and began to arrange nervously, handing all the mortars that the two regiments could collect to the hands of the second regiment that had already detoured behind the Japanese attacking force. And he
The third battalion of the regiment's reserve team also secretly detoured to the flank of the Japanese army under his own orders, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese army at any time. After all the troops were arranged, Li Yong, as the commander-in-chief, began to quietly
Wait for the best time to attack.
He raised the telescope in his hand and carefully observed the battle of the first battalion. He was waiting. When the morale of the Japanese army was rising, he suddenly caught them off guard. He gave the little Japanese a fatal blow and completely defeated them.
Confidence. Finally, the time has come. The remaining 300 troops of the Japanese army, under the personal command of the captain of the second battalion, rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from the first battalion position. Just when they were about to gain
When the victory came, Li Yong gave the order to attack.
Suddenly, a running group consisting of 24 mortars, dozens of grenade launchers, and 12 various mountain and field guns began to fire a dense rain of bullets at the Japanese army. Countless shells fell like rain.
In the midst of the charging Japanese team, the entire team was instantly torn to pieces by nearly a hundred rounds of various artillery shells.
"Baga..." The fierce artillery fire not only shattered the little Japanese's charge formation into pieces, but even the captain of the second Japanese army at the end of the attack formation was affected. A powerful field artillery shell fell.
He was less than six meters away from him. The air wave from the explosion of the artillery shell immediately knocked him to the ground. Under the protection of the orderly, the captain was not injured, but only chewed a mouthful of soil.
"Baga... Bagh Ya Road... Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many artillery pieces? What do they want to do..." He raised his head and spit out the dirt in his mouth. The captain couldn't help shouting loudly.
He started to curse.
"Quickly...order the troops to retreat and build fortifications on the spot...quickly..." The captain raised his head and saw the shattered team that had been bombed, and he suddenly came to his senses. The reason why the Eighth Route Army was like this
After deploying all their artillery fire late, they had only one purpose, which was to annihilate the remaining imperial army of less than 500 people. The captain who reacted did not hesitate, and began to attack the position regardless of the dense bullets above his head.
He was running around everywhere, giving loud orders.
However, it was still too late. Because the soldiers not only had mountain guns, but also dozens of fast-firing mortars and grenade launchers. Just when the captain of the second brigade conveyed the order, the second round of the artillery group
The artillery shells came over. There is no doubt that the second round of artillery fire once again sprinkled a lot of salt on the wounds of the Japanese army. The fragmented troops that were already bombed became even more messy at this time.
"Baga... take cover immediately, gather with the heavy machine gun squadron, quickly... retreat..." Finally, under the command of some squad leaders and sergeants, there began to be some sporadic Japanese troops, and slowly they became organized.
retreated and built fortifications. Finally, when the Eighth Route Army fired the tenth round of mortar shells, about 150 little Japs merged with the remaining more than 100 people from the machine gun squadron. Under the leadership of the captain of the Japanese Second Battalion,
Under his leadership, he built a simple circular fortification on a hillside in an attempt to trap him and wait for reinforcements.
"Start the attack..." Seeing that the artillery fire on the position had basically no effect on the Japanese army, Commander-in-Chief Li Yong gave the order to charge.
"Tick-tock-tock..." Immediately, a loud charge sounded around the little devil's ring fortifications. Countless soldiers shouted slogans, bayonets drawn, jumped up from the trenches where they were hiding, and rushed towards
He reached the top of the hill where the little devil was guarding.
"Charge..." The soldiers, who had been frustrated for almost a day, received the order to charge, and like hungry wolves smelling the smell of blood, they shouted and rushed towards the hilltop where the Japanese were guarding.
"Da da da..." However, just when the soldiers thought that the Japanese army had lost the ability to fight back, a violent burst of heavy machine gun fire rang out, and the soldiers charging in the first few rows were killed one after another by the remaining Japanese heavy machine gun squadrons.
Several heavy machine guns were swept to the ground. The remaining six heavy machine guns of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron surrounded the Japanese army on the hilltop, spraying tongues of fire at the soldiers desperately.
However, the soldiers were not afraid and continued to charge in the face of the dense bullets. The soldiers in front fell, and those behind took over. Finally, after the soldiers paid a heavy price of casualties, the Japanese army was reduced to less than one
On the high ground of half a square kilometer. Because the firepower density of the Japanese army was too high, the soldiers temporarily stopped the charge with heavy casualties, and all lay on the ground, waiting for the arrival of their artillery.
"Report to the commander, the artillery company has come to report, please give instructions..." Soon, the artillery company commander rushed to the battlefield with more than 20 mortars.
"Okay, build an artillery position immediately and blow up the hilltop where the little devil is holding down..." Li Yong took a look at the Japanese position that had just caused at least one casualty to his troops, and said fiercely.
.
Soon, more than twenty mortars set up a position behind the soldiers, and boxes of artillery shells were brought up. "Boom, boom, boom..." Finally, the dull sound of shells being ejected was heard.
There was a sound behind the soldiers, and more than twenty artillery shells rained down on the Japanese positions.
"Baga... Despicable Chinese..." The captain thought he could hold on for a while with the dense flames of the heavy machine gun in his hand. Hearing the sound of cannons, he saw countless shells flying towards him.
, the captain of the Japanese Second Battalion was desperate. In order to concentrate the limited firepower of the troops, he repeatedly compressed his position, but he forgot about the cannons in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. In the narrow position, he knew that the more than two hundred people he had left,
Facing the shelling of the Chinese army, what will happen? With violent explosions, the soldiers' wailing sounded all around. The captain of the Japanese Second Battalion completely lost confidence in his future and slowly untied himself.
He took out his shirt, pulled out the command sword that His Majesty the Emperor personally awarded to him, and thrust it into his lower abdomen...
However, the broken jade of the second battalion captain did not stop the Eighth Route Army's artillery bombardment. The rain-like shells still hit the Japanese army's incomplete position under the order of the regiment commander Li Yong. Finally, in the artillery company,
After firing all the artillery shells he carried, the battlefield finally became quiet.
"Comrades, charge..." A loud roar broke the temporary tranquility after the shelling. The soldiers lying on the ground jumped up, bayonets pointed, shouting and rushing towards the ruins of the Japanese position.
In less than a minute, the swarming soldiers rushed to the Japs' position and surrounded the remaining Japs, who numbered less than 100.
After a baptism of intensive artillery fire, more than half of the remaining Japs were seriously injured. Only about 40 Japs were left, with bayonets drawn. They surrounded the city and surrounded the wounded. Of course, maybe because
The artillery fire ended, perhaps because the Japs were too confident in their stabbing skills. Facing nearly a thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers around them, no one of the more than 40 Japs felt intimidated and began to calmly unload the rifles in their hands. See
Yellow bullets fell to the ground with a loud clicking sound. The soldiers seemed to be in a daze, but no one fired at the Japanese army.
"Damn it, why are you still standing there? Shoot..." Li Yong, the commander of the regiment, rushed into the encirclement of the soldiers. When he saw the little Jaap who was unloading bullets, he didn't hesitate at all. From the side, a machine gunman
The gunman snatched the machine gun from the soldier and started firing at the more than 40 little Japanese in the middle of the position.
"Da da da..." A dense barrage of bullets was spat out from the machine gun in Li Yong's hand. The little devil in front of Li Yong looked at the unruly Li Yong in shock, yelled and fell in a pool of blood.
It was not until Li Yong fired that the surrounding soldiers reacted from the shock. They raised their weapons and opened fire. Immediately, a burst of intensive gunfire rang out again in the silent position. Within a few seconds,
, less than 100 little Japs in the middle of the position were wiped out by the soldiers.
"Start cleaning the battlefield immediately and treat the wounded..." Seeing more than a hundred corpses of little Japs in front of him, Li Yong showed no pity at all. He dropped the light machine gun in his hand and gave this order to the surrounding soldiers.
He hurried to the regiment command post. The reason why he was in such a hurry was that he wanted to tell the news to the commander far away at the headquarters in the shortest possible time...
