"Order all troops to seize the time to rest and recuperate immediately. After six o'clock in the evening, battalions will be used as units, with a distance of 500 meters between each other, and blocking positions will be arranged. At the same time, in order to facilitate the retreat of the troops, each blocking position must be
There is at least one communication trench leading to the dense forest next to the highway to facilitate the retreat of the troops... In addition, I would like to remind you that each blocking position must be prepared for air defense. Are you clear..." Regarding Zhang He's
As a brigade commander, Bruce Lee had almost no objections to the tactics. Then, he gave a loud order to the regimental commanders around him.
"Yes, brigade commander, I promise to complete the mission without losing face to our security brigade..." After hearing the order, the red-faced regiment commanders who had just been scolded by Bruce Lee immediately responded together.
"Okay, let's start taking action now. During the rest, each unit must prepare in advance all kinds of wood needed to set up blocking positions at night. After all, we only have a few hours to prepare, and we must prepare in advance.
"In response to the answers given by several people, Bruce Lee nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to give instructions...
After several hours of preparation, all the wood needed to build the blocking position was ready. As the last wave of Japanese aircraft flew over the heads of the soldiers with a loud roar, the entire guard brigade immediately
Taking the battalion as a unit, under the cover of the dark night, they began to build fortifications on a road section several kilometers long...
As dawn came the next day, the sun slowly rose from the east. The nine main battalions plus the battalions directly under the brigade headquarters totaled ten blocking positions, completely displayed on this section of the road. However, in order to prevent the Japanese planes
, before the battle started, the soldiers also took great pains to discover the blocking position on the ground in advance. In addition to covering the entire blocking position with withered grass, the soldiers who were responsible for constructing the fortifications were all hiding in the deep ground at this moment.
In the trenches, they replenished the energy consumed by digging trenches all night, recharging their energy and preparing for the possible battle today.
"Lao Huang, Lao Hu, Lao Zhang, after a night of hard work, how are the preparations for each position now..." Through the telescope, he saw a series of concealed blocking positions in front of him. Brigadier Bruce Lee looked at the
asked the three group leaders.
"Report to the brigade commander that the three blocking positions of the regiment have been completed. They are all in accordance with the usual training. An anti-gun hole has been dug every ten meters to avoid possible air attacks by the Japs. At the same time, we have also removed
We fired more than a dozen light machine guns and formed a temporary air defense position to attack any Japanese aircraft that dared to drop bombs at low altitudes..." Huang Zhengqing answered affirmatively.
"Brigadier, the three blocking positions of our Second Regiment have been completed. By then, we will eat as many little devils as they come..." Hu Zhengping also stood up and said...
Immediately afterwards, the commander of the third regiment, Zhang He, and the commander of the battalion directly under the brigade headquarters stood up to report.
"Very good, order each battalion to seize the time to rest. As soon as the little devil comes, prepare for battle immediately. My request is very simple. A blocking position must be held for at least an hour. As for the specific withdrawal time, it is up to each individual
Are you clear about the temporary decision made by the battalion commander and the three of you?" Bruce Lee ordered firmly.
"Yes, brigade commander..." There was a roar, and several people quickly left the brigade headquarters and ran towards their regiment headquarters.
Finally, just before noon, the figure of the Japs finally appeared in the eyes of the vanguard scouts of the Guard Brigade. Under the cover of the plane, they saw thousands of Japs marching toward the enemy several miles away.
The blocking position came over. The scouts quickly rushed to the headquarters, preparing to report the incoming Japanese army.
"Report to the brigade commander, the Japs are here..." On a hill with an altitude of less than 100 meters. After receiving the report from the scout, Bruce Lee immediately raised the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the regiment and battalion.
In the past. Sure enough, at the end of the road, a cloud of smoke and dust slowly appeared. The little Japanese troops lined up in two rows appeared in the telescope one after another...
"Order the troops to prepare for battle and resolutely block the possible charge of the Japs..." Bruce Lee ordered with a serious face.
Of course, the Eighth Route Army troops who stood firm on the position discovered the Japs getting closer and closer. The Japs avant-garde troops also discovered a blocking position a few hundred meters away in the shortest possible time and reported the latest news.
It was given to Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigetsu, the division commander who was located in the center of the entire army...
"Nani, how is it possible that there is a blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front of us? According to the air force reconnaissance and the display of our intelligence agency, there is absolutely no main force of the Eighth Route Army in front of us, and there are only some small groups of local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army
The armed forces in these places have been integrated and are preparing to use those Tubal roads to block our army's way." After hearing the report from the captain of the vanguard wing, the chief of staff, Colonel Kurashige, frowned and asked.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is so bullying. They want to use local militia troops to block our way. Although we only have more than 5,000 people left now, they are also elite soldiers of the Imperial Army. Unexpectedly, these Tubal Route Army
If they want to seek death, then I will help them. Matsui-kun, now I order you to lead your vanguard unit to annihilate all Tubal Road in front of us, let them know that our 109th Division is not that easy to bully..."
After hearing the explanation from the chief of staff, the division commander, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, showed a sneer on his lips and gave an order loudly.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Vanguard Regiment promises to complete its mission, completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army in front of us, and occupy their blocking position...0." Colonel Matsui, who had been chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army behind him for several days,
After learning that the only people standing in front of him were the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army, he answered confidently without any hesitation. At the same time, a trace of murderous intent slowly appeared on his face.
"Yoshi, Matsui-kun, if that's the case, then I'll be here waiting for your good news..." The division leader nodded with satisfaction.
Coming back from the division commander, regiment commander Matsui Colonel had a confident smile on his face. Because he believed that since the Tubal Road was blocking him, with the nearly a thousand soldiers left in his regiment,
You can definitely occupy their positions, and then wipe them all out, putting a halo of victory on your own team's head once again...
With such a feeling of underestimating the enemy, Colonel Matsui, as the captain of the regiment, did not hesitate at all. Although the division commander promised that he could call for air support at any time. However, when he thought of the easily obtained military exploits, Matsui had to allocate part of them to the air force.
The colonel confidently refused air reinforcements.
Under the confident command of Colonel Matsui, the commander of the regiment, the offensive formation composed of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers was immediately divided into three, preparing to follow the commonly used offensive formations of the Japanese army and prepare to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in front of them in one fell swoop.
The local troops, nearly a thousand little Japs, had neither artillery support nor air support. Under the cover of more than a dozen heavy machine guns, they lined up in dense skirmish lines, holding up the rifles in their hands, step by step.
launched a charge forward.
"Battal Commander, Battalion Commander, the little devils have begun to charge..." Just when the Japanese army launched a group charge, a battalion that stood on the blocking position, except for the necessary observation posts, the remaining troops were all led by the battalion commander.
They hid in the bomb-proof caves, preparing to avoid possible bombings by the Japanese Air Force. However, to everyone's surprise, the soldiers who hid in the bomb-proof caves not only did not wait for the bombing of the Japanese Air Force, but instead waited for
A group of nearly a thousand Japs charged.
"Oh my God, what is this little devil doing? There are so many planes in the sky, but they dispatch a large force to attack without any bombing. Is the little devil commander's head burned out?
I want so many Japs to come and die..." Looking at the little Japs in front of him, they were like a layer of yellow waves. The instructor who had just rushed out of the bomb hole and was lying in the trench couldn't help but let out a cry
of exclamation.
"No matter whether the kid commander's head is burned or not, he doesn't want to use planes for bombing, so don't be polite. Order each company to enter the position immediately and put the kid at a distance of fifty meters.
Fire all at once to kill and injure their effective forces as much as possible..." the battalion commander ordered with a confident look on his face.
"Battal Commander, fifty meters, isn't it too close? The little Japs can get close to our position with just one charge..." Upon hearing fifty meters, the instructor couldn't help but asked with worry.
"Instructor, don't worry. Don't forget, we are a security brigade. Each squad is equipped with a light machine gun, and each company is equipped with a heavy machine gun. If all the light and heavy machine guns in our entire battalion are set up, there are enough
More than thirty. In addition, it is also equipped with nine grenade launchers. With such intensive firepower, if we can't stop the Japs' charge, our guard brigade's training for so long will be in vain." First Battalion Commander
Replied disdainfully.
Along with the light and heavy machine guns, the soldiers quickly set up on the edge of the trench. The dense charge formation composed of nearly a thousand little devils was only about 200 meters away from the position. Seeing that it was so close,
There was still no movement in the Eighth Route Army's blocking position. Although the captain of the regiment, Colonel Matsui, was very confused. However, under the impact of the halo of victory, Colonel Matsui did not intend to let his troops disperse. Instead, he ordered the troops to speed up the charge.
speed…
"One hundred and fifty meters...one hundred meters...eighty meters..." Seeing the still silent position, there was no need for Captain Matsui to issue any orders. The faces of these little Japanese soldiers who had already lost morale slowly began to change.
He showed a hint of excitement. At the same time, the pace of his charge also slowly accelerated.
At the same time, facing the attacking troops so close to the Eighth Route Army, more than a dozen heavy machine guns serving as cover in the rear stopped shooting at the same time in order to avoid possible accidental injuries. Each heavy machine gun shooter looked at the final scene with anticipation.
The vanguard unit in front.
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Just when these nearly a thousand little Japs rushed to a distance of fifty meters from the position with confident faces. Just when they thought that victory would belong to them, an accident happened.
A row of neat muzzles immediately appeared on the blocking position that was silent just now. Immediately, dozens of dense tongues of flame spurted out from these muzzles and shot towards their position.
"Click, click, click..." More than thirty light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles sprayed out angry bullets at the same time. Facing the airtight rain of bullets, in just the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred little Japanese charged at the front.
, didn’t even have time to react, and was beaten into a hornet’s nest by the dense bullets.
"Baga, take cover quickly, get down... prepare to fight back..." Just when Colonel Matsui, the commander of the entire regiment, was awakened from his sleep by the intensive gunfire and the screams of soldiers.
The nearly a thousand little Japs who attacked had fallen under the intense fire of more than 30 light and heavy machine guns. Two rows of nearly 300 soldiers had fallen. And more soldiers were pressed to the ground by the intensive firepower.
He was on the ground, unable to lift his head up at all.
However, just when the remaining little devils, under the command of commanders at all levels, wisely lay on the ground to avoid the bullets flying overhead, a sharp whistling sound once again reached the ears of these little devils.
.The entire first battalion was equipped with nine grenade launchers. They threw grenades or grenades into the group of Japs as fast as they could.
With the sound of explosions, several unfortunate little devils must have been blown to pieces and turned into mutilated corpses. In just a few seconds, dozens of grenade cameras exploded.
, in the dense Japanese army formation, once again caused nearly a hundred casualties.
"Baga, we have been fooled. This is not the fault of the Eighth Route Army at all, but the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army that have always been elite. On Baga Road, the troops will retreat immediately. Hurry up, retreat immediately..." I saw, dozens of meters away,
Under the intensive attack of the Eighth Route Army, the casualties of his own troops continued to rise in a straight line. Without any hesitation, Captain Matsui immediately gave the order to retreat to the troops in front of him.
"Click, click, click...boom, bang, bang..." Under the farewell of light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, nearly a thousand little Japs dropped more than 400 corpses in front of the position, then retreated dejectedly and began to tidy up.
The remaining soldiers of his regiment. As for the battalion that stayed on the position, under the command of the battalion commander, they quickly retreated into the artillery holes behind them. Because he believed that the Japanese army had eaten such a big bomb.
After a loss, you will never give up and will take crazy revenge.
Sure enough, just as the last soldier quickly got into the artillery hole, a huge roar in the air reached everyone's ears. A bomber, ready to be avenged by the infantry, broke out of the air and prepared to face the enemy below.
The Eighth Route Army's blocking position carried out low-altitude bomb drops...
However, it was very unfortunate that when the plane was only less than 500 meters away from the ground, a dense burst of flames immediately shot out from the ground. Facing the dense firepower network, although the little Japanese pilot knew that this
This kind of firepower is only fired from a light machine gun. At an altitude of 500 meters, it poses no threat to your aircraft at all.
However, in the face of death, the little devil still wisely chose to raise the fuselage. Keep his plane at an altitude of 500 meters and start dropping bombs. However, at an altitude of 500 meters, the accuracy of the bomb delivery can be imagined...
"Boom, boom, boom..." A huge explosion sounded on the first battalion's position. Several aerial bombs weighing dozens of kilograms fell on the position, raising pieces of smoke and dust. Although the entire position only lasted for an instant. For a short period of time, they were shrouded in the smoke generated by the explosion. However, there were only less than two or three bombs that were truly destructive to the blocking position...
A flying team of three planes began to drop bombs like raindrops on the ground one after another. The entire blocking position also continued to tremble amidst the explosions. What's more, two aerial bombs It fell directly at the entrance of two bomb-proof caves. With the bomb shells, almost a platoon of soldiers in the bomb-proof caves were all buried, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Finally, while everyone was waiting anxiously, the three planes finally dropped the bombs in their bellies. After swinging their wings, they quickly flew away from the battlefield with a roar, preparing to return to the airport to replenish ammunition. .As the plane left, the soldiers who had been suffocating in the bombhole for ten minutes immediately rushed out of the trenches. Some soldiers quickly entered the positions that had been damaged by the bombing, and prepared to block the attack. Another group of soldiers quickly found the bomb-proof cave and began to rescue possible survivors.
"Batalion Commander, the Japs have begun to attack..." The sound of the observation post reached the ears of the first battalion commander. The first battalion commander quickly dropped the shovel he was using to rescue the surviving soldiers and quickly lay down in the trench. , raised the telescope in his hand.
Maybe the kid was still a little panicked about the attack just now. After all, hundreds of corpses were placed alive in front of the position, swearing to the kid how powerful the Eighth Route Army was on this blocking position. The second Japanese attack Only a standard squadron was dispatched. Nearly two hundred little Japs, under the command of a squadron leader, lined up in three loose attack formations. Under the cover of heavy machine guns, they bent over and slowly moved towards the people who had been attacked. The position that was blown into ruins rushed over.
Since the strength of the entire blocking position had been completely exposed in the previous battle, the first battalion commander did not hesitate at all this time. Just when the two hundred little Japs were just two hundred meters away from the position, he ordered all The riflemen began to shoot sporadicly, constantly killing Japanese soldiers. As for all the light and heavy machine guns, they did not fire in order to prevent the bombardment of the Japanese grenade...
