"Hi, Your Excellency, squadron leader..." The little devil who was called by the squadron leader faced the command knife with blood hanging down. He did not dare to hesitate at all, and quickly nodded in agreement. With fear on his face, he crawled to the side of the heavy machine gun, and moved
He shot a corpse lying on the heavy machine gun. He stretched out his hands tightly and started to pull the trigger of the heavy machine gun. He didn't care whether his target was hit or not.
However, seeing the aimless shooting of the machine gunners in front of him, the squadron leader was helpless. Who made his own heavy weapons not as many as the opponent's Eighth Route Army? Did he really force himself to lose weight and die?
Thinking of this, the squadron leader ignored this heavy machine gun with no target design. He turned and walked to the nearby position and began to direct the battle of other squads. However, at this time, the battle process on the position that his squadron held was completely different.
It was beyond my expectation.
Under the cover of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army and the dense rain of bullets, the Imperial Japanese Army hiding in the trenches and fortifications had no chance to show their faces. Because as long as they exposed part of their bodies, they would
They would be hit by the flying bullets. Only a small number of soldiers would lie down in the trenches from time to time, raising their rifles and shooting at the oncoming Eighth Route Army. As for whether they hit the target, it was only
God knows.
"Bagh Ya Road, where are our grenades? Why didn't the heavy artillery battalion fire? Why?" Seeing the majestic Japanese Imperial Army, they were completely reduced to a coward in front of the Eighth Route Army. The squadron leader was shocked.
Angry, he cursed at the heavy artillery brigade position behind him.
However, he didn't know that right in the center of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade, several squadron captains were having a stubborn dispute. Because after losing contact with the brigade captain, the entire brigade lost control in an instant.
direct commander.
What's more important is that the Eighth Route Army's heavy weapons seemed to have been premeditated and were all set up on their own front-line positions. They were less than 100 meters away from the defensive positions of their own imperial army. And at such a close distance, I
If heavy artillery shells are fired, not only the Eighth Route Army's positions will disappear, but even the Imperial Army soldiers in their own trenches will also disappear with the explosion of the shells. Therefore, the four squadron leaders are currently debating whether the artillery should fire.
And argue.
"At Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is about to break through the infantry defensive position in front of us. If we still don't open fire and provide them with fire cover, then the only thing left for us will be to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor..."
A squadron leader, looking at the battlefield with artillery fire not far away, shouted loudly to the other three squadron leaders in front of him.
"Asshole, don't you know that after we fire artillery, our own positions will also be affected? How can we use our own cannons to hit our own imperial army? Besides, without the order of the captain, I firmly disagree
Fire." Another squadron leader argued in denial...
And just when several squadron leaders were arguing constantly and could not come to a decision, the assault troops of the Eighth Route Army, who were responsible for the charge, rushed in under the cover of intensive firepower of heavy machine guns and light machine guns. They paid only a small amount of casualties.
The throwing distance of his own grenade. At this time, the little Japs in the trench were all hiding in the trench because of the intensive fire cover of their own troops.
"Comrades, throw grenades for me, charge... boom boom boom..." As the orders sounded, countless grenades were thrown out by the soldiers. A line was drawn in the sky.
In a perfect arc, they smashed into the open-air defenses and trenches of the Japanese army. Amidst the explosions of grenades, the broken limbs and broken arms of the little Japanese were blown out by the air waves of the grenade explosion.
The fortifications were broken, and rifles that were damaged by the explosion were also blown out.
"Baga...ah...cover...ah..." As the screams reached the ears of the soldiers, the soldiers had already rushed to the defense with rifles with bayonets fixed.
Position, edge of trench.
"Stop the attack, get down, and keep throwing grenades..." In order to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible, the commanders of each commando team made a wise choice when the troops assaulted to only a dozen meters away from the Japanese position.
Stop the charge. Prepare to use the grenade in your hand to kill as much of the Japanese defense forces as possible. Try to avoid the soldiers engaging in hand-to-hand combat and causing huge casualties to the troops.
As the commanders issued orders, the soldiers immediately understood the orders of their company commanders and even battalion commanders. They all lay down on the ground and began to take out the remaining grenades in the bullet bags. They pulled the strings and dropped the bombs...
Pulled the string again, and dropped the bomb...all the time, he threw all the grenades he carried into the enemy's trench. The soldiers stopped, took the rifles on their backs, and prepared for the final charge.
"One platoon went over to check the situation, and the rest of the group stayed put and took cover..." As the sound of grenade explosions stopped, the Japanese defensive positions and the smoke in the trenches cleared. The commander leading the team looked at the side.
The soldiers shouted loudly.
Immediately, I saw a platoon leader with more than thirty soldiers. He slowly got up from the ground, bent down, and walked towards the Japanese army, which was only ten meters away. However, at this time, the Japanese army
In the trenches, except for the sound of some Japanese gunshots, no other sounds could be heard.
"Report to the company commander, all the little Japs inside are almost dead. There are only a few dozen who can still breathe, but they are all seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness..." Soon, the leader came from the edge of the trench.
The platoon commander's voice. Hearing this, the company commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The rest of you, follow me. The old rule is, leave no one alive..." Following the company commander's order, the nearly 100 people remaining in front of the position, led by the company commander, rushed towards the Japanese position.
When I came to the edge of the trench, I looked around and saw that the entire nearly 100-meter-long trench was almost completely covered with Japanese corpses. Some had their thighs broken, some had their arms broken, and some even had their stomachs damaged.
The grenade exploded, and the intestines and internal organs were leaked out. There were more than twenty little Japs dragging their seriously injured bodies, squirming back and forth among the corpses. To know the strength of a company, each person had four grenades.
.What kind of scene would it be if it exploded in a trench less than a hundred meters long and two meters wide?
"Quick, take five minutes to clean the battlefield, then immediately replenish ammunition on the spot and take a rest... Remember to give each kid a stab, don't let them fool you." The company commander said loudly without any hesitation.
commanded.
As the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, they attacked several other Japanese troops and successfully wiped out the enemy defenders. Of course, everything on the battlefield was reflected in the eyes of Commander Sun Xingbang who was watching the battle from behind.
.
"Report to the commander, our army has completely occupied the Japanese front-line defense positions. According to preliminary estimates, more than 700 enemy soldiers have been wiped out, and our army has suffered less than 100 casualties..." Soon, the smiling temporary chief of staff took the
With a casualty report that had just been calculated, he came to Sun Xingbang and reported.
"Okay! Very good, order the soldiers to continue their efforts and wipe out the remaining 700 Japs in one fell swoop. The artillery battalion will provide artillery cover, but don't blow up the enemy's heavy artillery for me..." After listening to Staff Wang's report, Sun Xingbang
He nodded with satisfaction and ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander..." Soon, the artillery battalion that received the order began to shell again. However, this time the targets of the shelling were not so scattered. Instead, all the artillery was gathered and targeted.
The Japanese army assembled three defensive positions and carried out fierce shelling.
Mortars, grenades, field artillery, and mountain artillery. Under the command of the artillery battalion commander, they began to pour artillery shells on the only three remaining defensive positions of the Japanese army. Similarly, when the artillery battalion launched an artillery bombardment,
The heavy machine gunners who have been serving as infantry cover are also not idle. Under the command of commanders at all levels, they have begun to transfer the heavy machine guns and light machine guns in their hands. They are preparing to provide more concentrated firepower to the infantry during the attack later.
cover.
"Order the artillery fire to begin to extend, blow the charge horn, and the troops begin to charge..." Seeing that the only three remaining positions of the Japanese army were almost completely covered by the fierce artillery fire of their own artillery battalion and plunged into a sea of fire. Commander Sun Xingbang was satisfied.
He nodded, put down the telescope in his hand, and ordered to Staff Wang who was waiting for orders behind him.
Immediately, the loud charge horn sounded across the entire Gongcun battlefield, followed by intensive strafing from light and heavy machine guns, and the shouts of the soldiers... With the absolute advantage of firepower and troop strength, the two regiments of more than 3,000 people
The Eighth Route Army soldiers, without wasting much effort, wiped out all the little Japs who had less than three squadrons left in front of them.
After eliminating the only Japanese field infantry standing in front of the soldiers, the artillery position of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade now looked like a naked beauty, completely exposed to the eyes of the soldiers.
"Comrades, charge... eliminate the remaining few hundred Japanese soldiers. For the final victory, charge..." Seeing the artillery position not far away, I saw huge howitzers, almost every
Soldiers and commanders were shocked by the sight before them. However, there were still commanders who reacted. Seeing that the Japanese army's only few hundred artillerymen with little combat effectiveness were completely exposed to the absolute superiority of their two regiments.
In front of the troops, there was a burst of surprise, and he shouted orders to the soldiers behind him.
"Come on..." After hearing the order, the soldiers immediately reacted from the shock. Under the leadership of their respective commanders, they roared and rushed towards the Japanese artillery position not far away.
"Baga, why is the Eighth Route Army charging over? Our infantry is here, why are there no infantry to resist..." While several squadron leaders were still arguing with each other, a squad leader exclaimed next to him. Listen to
At this point, several squadron leaders turned their heads almost simultaneously and looked in the direction where the sound of charging came from.
"Nani? Could it be that our infantry has been completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army? Impossible, absolutely impossible... bang bang bang... click, click, click..." A squadron leader said in disbelief. However, just
At this moment, a burst of light and dense bullets hit several squadron leaders, and several guardsmen were unfortunately shot and fell into a pool of blood.
"Baga, take cover quickly, the Eighth Route Army has already rushed over. Hurry, retreat immediately, retreat into the village, quickly..." A squadron leader quickly lay on the ground and shouted to several squadron leaders around him.
"Baga, we must not retreat. We must not let 12 heavy artillery fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, absolutely not. Even if we are all broken, we must blow up all the cannons and shells immediately..." A squadron leader immediately objected
.
"Baga, we must not blow up the cannons. We must keep these cannons without the order of the commander. Besides, the reinforcements of the division commander are on the way now. We can wait for the arrival of the reinforcements at any time and recapture these cannons..."
Another squadron leader said.
"Yo Xi! I agree. We will retreat immediately. Let the Eighth Route Army help us temporarily preserve these cannons. After the reinforcements from the division commander arrive, we will recapture these cannons that belong to the Japanese Empire." The last one.
The squadron leader immediately agreed. The minority must obey the majority. Soon, the remaining two squadron leaders agreed with this opinion and temporarily handed over 12 heavy howitzers to the Eighth Route Army. After the main force of the division led by the division commander arrived,
Recapture these cannons. But now, for our artillerymen who have basically no combat effectiveness, the most important task is to save their lives.
The opinions had been unified, and the four squadron leaders immediately returned to their positions. They called all the artillery under their command, picked up their infantry weapons, and fled to Gong Village one kilometer away. They planned to use the complex terrain of Gong Village to hold out until the division commander
The arrival of the main reinforcements of the division he led.
"Okay, great. The Japs actually gave up their artillery position and retreated to Gong Village. I was also worried that fighting at the Japanese artillery position would detonate the artillery shells stored there. Haha, now this problem no longer needs to be solved
After considering the order, the first regiment immediately occupied the enemy's artillery position. The second regiment continued to pursue the enemy's artillery and tried to surround them all in Gong Village. Use the tunnels in the village to eliminate the remaining several hundred artillery personnel." Seeing hundreds of artillery personnel.
The little Japanese artilleryman actually retreated towards Gong Village with a rifle in hand. Sun Xingbang was excited and ordered loudly.
"Yes, Commander..." As the order came out, the two regiments that were immediately chasing the Japanese army were divided into two. The soldiers of one regiment quickly seized the artillery position abandoned by the enemy. The soldiers of the other regiment
, they divided into several attacking troops and chased the little Japanese who were fleeing in panic. At the same time, they carried out roundabouts and outflanks, trying to use the tunnels in Gong Village to wipe out the remaining 300 or so Japanese artillery pieces in one fell swoop.
There is no suspense about the next battle. There are only more than 300 little Japanese artillerymen with almost no combat effectiveness. Surrounded by more than a thousand soldiers who are familiar with the terrain and have authentic help, in less than an hour
They were completely wiped out by the soldiers. But until now, the Gongcun battlefield, which was still under heavy artillery fire just now, slowly began to become quiet.
On the battlefield that was still under heavy artillery fire just now, except for a certain number of troops protecting the 12 heavy howitzers that had just been captured, the remaining soldiers began to clean up the vast battlefield. The whole process seemed orderly.
Finally, half an hour later, a glimmer of dawn finally appeared in the eastern sky. As the sun rose in the east, the soldiers who had been fighting for several hours finally welcomed the arrival of a new day. And those who had been standing on the front line
Commander Sun Xingbang also waited for the arrival of dawn. At the same time, he also waited for the exciting results of the battle.
"Report to Commander, the battlefield has been cleaned. Here are the results of each regiment's statistics. Please take a look at it, Commander." Staff Wang said excitedly and handed the list in his hand to Sun Xingbang.
"The fight is finally over, please read it to me..." Sun Xingbang seemed to be relieved and said.
"Yes, Commander, after one day and two nights of continuous fighting, we killed a total of 2,269 Japanese troops without a single prisoner. Among them were a Japanese colonel captain, a lieutenant colonel chief of staff, and three major captains... Among them, I
Army, 459 soldiers died, 136 were seriously injured, and more than 600 were slightly injured. Among these more than 600 people, except for a small number of soldiers, the remaining soldiers basically did not affect their combat effectiveness and could immediately go into new battles." Wang
The staff officer thought excitedly.
"Yes, the ratio of casualties between the enemy and us is 4:1. It was a good fight and the soldiers were all good. What about our seizures? Especially the 12 heavy howitzers handed over by the division commander. Are there any problems..." After listening to Staff Wang's words
After reporting, Sun Xingbang nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"Commander, we have seized a total of 1,148 intact rifles, 26 light machine guns, 8 heavy machine guns, 11 grenades, and a batch of ammunition. As for other light weapons, they were all destroyed by our army's artillery shells. The other ones are
After counting the enemy's heavy artillery brigade, we have captured a total of 12 150mm heavy howitzers and about 6,000 shells. It can be said to be a very huge seizure." Staff Wang replied again.
"Okay, okay, great. Staff Officer Wang, send a report to the division commander immediately and report the victory to the division commander." After hearing Staff Officer Wang's answer, the commander finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered excitedly.
"Yes, Commander..." Staff Officer Wang also replied excitedly.
"Well, order the soldiers to seize the time to clean the battlefield, and then make corrections and replenish their physical strength. At the same time, order a group to replenish the captured weapons and ammunition. At noon, I will personally lead a group to reinforce Changgukou." Seeing Staff Wang preparing to leave.
