"Well, it seems that the little devil is really desperate. Three infantry squadrons took turns to attack our forward position. This little devil's strategy is really vicious. Battalion Commander, the Japanese army has changed their tactics. I think
We also have to change our defense plan. We cannot put the entire battalion on the position at once. The purpose of the Japanese army is very simple, which is to use turns of attacks to consume a lot of our physical strength and tire us out. But this is too risky.
, Under the repeated attacks of the Japanese army, we can't hold on for long at all." The instructor also nodded with deep understanding. At the same time, he suggested to the battalion commander beside him.
"Well, order the first company and the heavy machine gun platoon to hold their position and block the Japanese attack from the first wave. The remaining troops will immediately retreat into the artillery holes as a reserve. No one is allowed to enter the position without my order."
The battalion commander nodded and ordered to the correspondent beside him. Soon, the forward position, which was densely packed just now, suddenly lost almost two-thirds of its troops. And the remaining company had more than 150 people.
, squatting quietly in the trench, waiting for the battalion commander's next order.
Finally, a few minutes passed, and a squadron of the Japanese army responsible for the first wave of attack had advanced to less than a hundred meters away from the forward position. In order to prevent machine gun accidental damage, the heavy machine gun squadron behind the little Japanese infantry served as cover.
, and immediately stopped firing. An infantry squadron of two hundred little Japs lined up in a loose skirmish line attack formation, bent as much as possible, and quickly rushed up to the ridge where their battalion was holding fast.
"Comrades, be ready to fire. Quick, heavy machine guns, enter the position immediately..." There were no bullets flying overhead, and the first battalion commander quickly ordered the soldiers to enter the position... "Fire..." Another order was issued,
The soldiers who had just entered the position and were lying in the trench immediately pulled the triggers of their weapons at the little Japanese who were getting closer and closer down the mountain.
Suddenly, the front line, which had been silent just now, rang out with intensive gunshots again. However, perhaps the little devils had learned the lesson from the last battle, and their response this time was particularly quick. The soldiers fired the first round of intensive bullets.
Yu only killed less than half of the team of Japs. The remaining Japanese troops immediately lay down on the ground and began to use their rifles to accurately fight back. Especially those who were placed in the third group.
The machine gunners and grenade launchers on the skirmisher line quickly set up their light machine gun grenade launchers under the cover of the soldiers in front of them...
"Click, click, click..." A dozen light machine guns began to spit out dazzling tongues of fire in the hands of the Japanese army. The dense tongues of fire immediately hit a dozen soldiers who were unable to defend themselves and had no time to hide in a pool of blood.
More importantly, the intensive counterattack firepower of the Japanese army completely suppressed several light machine guns that were firing on the position in an instant.
Under the suppression of the Japanese army's accurate and intensive firepower, several light machine guns on the position. After changing the machine gunners for a whole round, they could only fire and move their positions... "Damn it, the heavy machine gun platoon, right now
Fire for me, knock out all the machine guns of the little devil..." Looking at the arrogant Japanese machine gunners at the foot of the mountain, and looking at the soldiers who were so pressed that they could not lift their heads on their own positions, the first battalion commander was helpless.
, can only use the three heavy machine guns that have not yet fired in advance...
"Da da da..." The three heavy machine guns, which had almost lost their hold, had just finished the battalion commander's order, and immediately faced the Japanese army's light machine gun array. As the three heavy machine guns opened fire, three dense tongues of flames began.
They were plundering the Japanese machine gun positions. The Japanese light machine gunners, who had been extremely arrogant just now, immediately fell into a pool of blood one after another. The firepower of the Japanese counterattack was immediately weakened a lot.
However, what the first battalion commander did not expect was that the Japanese grenadiers hidden in the third skirmisher line had not fired a single grenade until now. This was because the ultimate goal of these grenadiers was not on the battlefield.
light machine gun, but a heavy machine gun position that has not yet emerged.
Finally, in the expectation of these little devils, the three heavy machine gun positions opened fire. Although the flying bullets caused a lot of casualties to the machine gunners in front of them, these grenade launchers did not suffer any damage.
Instead, he controlled the grenade in his hand and began to aim accurately. He ensured that the first round of grenades he fired could directly kill three heavy machine guns.
"Everything..." A slight sound of grenade shooting sounded, and the little devil's grenade hand finally couldn't help but fire. Six grenades, with a sharp whistling sound, quickly passed over and lay on the ground in front of him.
The little Japanese infantry smashed into the Eighth Route Army's forward position almost a hundred meters away.
A burst of intensive grenade explosions, through the intensive gunfire, reached the ears of the first battalion commander who was commanding the first company to fight. When the first battalion commander reacted from the shock, the three who just kept shooting the little devils were
The heavy machine gun position. At this moment, it was shrouded in smoke from the explosion of grenades, and there was no movement at all.
"What happened, it was a grenade fired by a Japs. We were fooled... Comrades, hit me hard and be sure to block the Japs' charge..." As he spoke, a battalion commander held up the shell gun in his hand.
While shooting, he rushed towards the nearest heavy machine gun position.
When the machine gun position was clearly displayed to his eyes, the first battalion commander was stunned. Because, under the attack of the Japanese grenade, several machine gunners next to the heavy machine gun had all fallen to the machine gun covered with blood.
Next to it. However, facing the Japs who began to slowly advance forward again, the First Battalion could not care less about their sorrow. They immediately lay down on the heavy machine gun position and began to check whether the heavy machine gun in front of them was intact.
"Thank God, the machine gun is intact..." After quickly checking the heavy machine gun in front of him, the first battalion commander couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, the Japanese grenadier was eliminating the threat to himself.
The largest heavy machine gun since then has pointed its muzzle at the soldiers and light machine gunners on the position. Almost every explosion of a grenade will take away the lives of several soldiers.
Under the suppression of Japanese grenadiers and machine gun fire, the casualties of the first company in the trenches continued to increase, and the density of firepower was reduced by several percent. Faced with such a good opportunity to attack, the second Japanese army who commanded the first Potts attack
The squadron leader, of course, could not let go of such a good opportunity to attack. As soon as the order was given, the little devil who was lying on the ground just now, shooting at the soldiers, immediately got up from the ground, bent down,
Slowly start to move forward….
"You little devil, I will make you crazy..." Seeing his dangerous forward position, the first battalion commander did not care about his identity as battalion commander. He picked up the heavy machine gun in front of him and threw grenades at the Japanese army that posed the greatest threat to his position.
The gunner poured all the bullets in the entire bullet chain left on the machine gun on the Japanese grenade hand...
"Da da da...ah, Baga, hide quickly..." As a crisp sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out on the position, a Japanese grenadier who discovered the situation immediately knelt on the ground facing him.
The comrades who fired grenades warned. However, it was already too late at this moment. Nearly a hundred rounds of bullets had already formed into fans and were fired at the ten grenade launchers quickly. A burst of screams sounded, and they were still very arrogant just now.
The Japanese grenade position was immediately thrown into chaos. A dozen little Japanese who were beaten into a hornet's nest lay crookedly in a pool of blood...
"Ammo hand, quick, ammo hand..." Looking at the Japanese grenade hand who had almost lost his combat effectiveness, the first battalion commander quickly turned his gun, aimed the shooting target at the bent man, and quickly rushed towards his forward position.
The kid came over. After hearing the battalion commander's shouts, the correspondent who was following the battalion commander quickly brought a box of bullets, took out the bullet chain, and quickly inserted it into the magazine of the heavy machine gun.
"Click...click click..." A crisp sound of bullets being loaded sounded. The heavy machine gun in the hand of a battalion commander began to spit out a dazzling tongue of fire at the little Japanese who was getting closer and closer. In an instant, the little Japanese
The offensive was immediately blocked by the only heavy machine gun left on the position.
"Correspondent, immediately convey the order to the second company commander, order the second company to enter the position immediately, go quickly..." Seeing that the little devil's offensive was temporarily blocked. The first battalion commander couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He lifted the heavy machine gun in his hand.
After handing it over to a heavy machine gun shooter beside him, he gave a loud order to the correspondent beside him.
"Yes, battalion commander..." The correspondent lowered his head and quickly moved toward the anti-cannon hole at the rear of the position. In less than half a minute, more than a hundred soldiers from a company were in front of the second company commander.
Under the leadership, he rushed into the position and replenished the firepower density of the position...
With the addition of the Second Company, the firepower density on the forward position suddenly increased a lot. The Japanese machine gunners, who were still very arrogant just now, immediately ceased their activities after several machine gunners were killed and no longer carried out vigorous cover.
Shooting. The two parties have temporarily entered a confrontation stage.
However, this confrontation was only temporary. Because the captain of the Japanese Third Squadron, who was following closely behind the Second Squadron, saw that the troops' attack was frustrated and immediately discovered the reason for the lack of firepower of the Second Squadron. Before he thought about setting off,
, after receiving the order from the battalion commander, the squadron commander of the third squadron did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered all the machine gunners of his squadron to move forward to support the second squadron and join in the exchange of fire with the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, all the grenade launchers of the entire squadron also began to cover the Eighth Route Army's forward positions. With the firing of grenade launchers and machine guns, the 1, 2 and 2 companies holding on to the position were once again attacked.
The Japanese army suppressed them with precise shooting. More importantly, several heavy machine guns that had just been reinforced were misfired one after another under the cover of the Japanese army's two rounds of grenade fire. In the blink of an eye, the entire 7-gun battalion
The heavy machine guns were all turned into a pile of scrap metal under the attack of the Japanese grenade...
Seeing the Eighth Route Army on the forward position, under the suppression of the firepower of the third squadron behind him, he could hardly lift his head. The captain of the second squadron once again raised his command knife, preparing to charge. At the same time, in order to show his
Determined to charge, he no longer charged at the end of the entire army. Instead, he jumped up from the ground and was the first to charge towards the Eighth Route Army position just in front of him.
"Kill me..." The remaining more than a hundred little Japs saw their squadron leader leading the charge at the front of the unit. The morale of the entire unit was lifted to its highest point in an instant. A
The little devil immediately jumped up, holding the bayonet in his hand, and rushed towards the Eighth Route Army's forward position as fast as he could.
"Grenade, throw the grenade quickly..." Seeing the Japs getting closer and closer, and seeing the soldiers who were so pressed by the Japanese troops on the position that they couldn't even lift their heads. As the commander of the forward position, the commander of the first battalion had no choice but to throw himself
The last hope rests on grenades. Because if you can't stop the Japanese offensive, your first battalion will have to fight hand-to-hand with the Japs.
"Boom, boom, boom..." One after another, grenades were thrown out of the trenches by the soldiers. Some landed next to the little devil and exploded, and some exploded directly on the little devil's head.
The charging little Japanese fell into a pool of blood one after another amid the explosion of nearly a hundred grenades.
However, these little Japs knew that if they could not capture the Eighth Route Army's forward positions that were just around the corner, death would be waiting for them. Therefore, in the rain of grenades, not one of the more than a hundred Japs lay down to hide or retreat.
, they all charged forward one after another. The soldiers in front fell down, and those behind continued to charge...
When the Japanese troops of the Second Squadron launched a suicidal attack on the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, the little Japs of the Third Squadron were also not idle. More than a dozen grenades were fired one after another in the hands of the little Japs.
One by one, grenades were fired towards the forward position, killing as many of the Eighth Route Army's effective forces as possible, and providing fire cover for the second squadron in front of them.
More than a hundred little Japs were quickly wiped out in the dense rain of grenades, one after another. However, the one, two and two companies that stayed on the position were destroyed by more than a hundred grenades fired by the Japanese army.
, also paid a heavy price. After less than twenty minutes of fighting between the two companies, at this moment, there were only less than a hundred soldiers left who could continue to fight. And the remaining two hundred.
Soldiers either died heroically or were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting.
Perhaps the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain already knew that the first battalion was in danger and had insufficient strength. Although one squadron was completely destroyed, which caused a big blow to the little Japanese in the rear. However, the third squadron following the second squadron.
When the last soldier of the second squadron fell, without any pause, he immediately ordered more than 170 soldiers of his own squadron, except the grenadier, to start another wave of charges...
"Battal Commander, a squadron from the Second Potts of Little Devils is coming up again..." As a burst of grenade explosions rang out, the voice of a company commander came from beside the battalion commander...
"Correspondent, order the third company to come immediately for reinforcements. The remaining people, prepare to fight. Today, even if there is only one person left in our first battalion, we have to block the little Japs in front of our position. Listen to me and prepare.
Good grenades. Throw grenades at me when the Japanese army walks in..." A battalion commander loudly ordered, picked up the rifle of a wounded man in the trench, lay down on the edge of the trench, and pointed the sight of the rifle accurately at the enemy.
The little devil is getting closer.
"Fire...bang bang bang...ta da da..." With an order, the nearly a hundred soldiers on the position who could continue to fight immediately took up the weapons in their hands and started shooting at the little Japs who were getting closer and closer...
The few light machine guns and dozens of rifles left on the position immediately fired a relatively dense rain of bullets at the Japanese army...
However, the dense rain of bullets only knocked down a dozen of the little Japs. The remaining little Japs did not stop in this relatively dense rain of bullets. Instead, they charged and fought back again and again. Especially the small Japs.
The dozen or so light machine guns that the Japanese attacked with the team, and the dense flames, immediately knocked over the few remaining machine guns on the position, and completely scrapped them while they were still standing...
At the same time, the Japanese grenadier, before his squadron approached the forward position, was still firing grenades one after another. The flying bullets and falling grenades were just as the little Japanese rushed to the position with only 50 meters left.
When we were about 100 meters away, out of more than a hundred soldiers, there were only less than fifty left, and all of them were still injured...
"Throw grenades..." Under the orders of the battalion commander, less than fifty soldiers shook their sore arms and began to try their best to throw grenades at the Japanese army. However, after more than half an hour of fighting, almost
Every soldier consumed a lot of energy by throwing grenades continuously. And under such circumstances, the accuracy of the grenades can be imagined.
Although rounds after rounds of grenades continued to explode in front of the position. However, in the explosion of these grenades, the Little Devils only lost almost a squad of troops. Seeing the Eighth Route Army on the position in front of them, it seemed that they no longer had the energy to launch an attack.
Counterattack, after looking behind him, there were nearly a hundred imperial soldiers left. The captain of the third squadron couldn't help feeling excited. He waved his command knife and ordered his soldiers to launch a final charge.
However, the results of things are often unexpected. Just as the Japanese squadron leader confidently looked at the approaching Eighth Route Army forward position and directed the troops to charge, a rain of grenades suddenly flew out from the trench in front of him.
.More than a hundred grenades no longer had no target as before, but fell accurately among his own troops.
