"Baga, order the troops to assemble immediately, prepare to retreat, and retreat to the headquarters..." Facing the huge casualties of the troops, the spirit of the chief of staff was almost completely defeated. After hearing the advice of his subordinates,
The chief of staff no longer hesitated and ordered loudly. However, at this moment, is it possible to successfully retreat?
Just when the messenger who had received the order was about to leave, a burst of rapid footsteps reached the ears of several people. Immediately afterwards, a lieutenant squadron leader appeared in front of the chief of staff, panting.
Hui reported: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we have discovered a large-scale Eighth Route Army armed force around us. After preliminary statistics, the total number of Eighth Route Army troops exceeds 5,000. As for the specific situation, it is still under investigation..."
"What did you say? Large-scale Eighth Route Army reinforcements. Say it again?" the chief of staff asked, eyes widening in disbelief.
"Hi, Chief of Staff, the reconnaissance force discovered a large number of Eighth Route Army troops around us. If nothing else, our army has been heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the size of the Eighth Route Army is at least three main regiments.
And it's well-equipped..." The squadron leader replied quickly under the gaze of the chief of staff with an almost murderous look.
"Baga, we have fallen into a trap. The purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to annihilate us all here. Quick, messenger, notify all troops immediately and assemble immediately to prepare for a breakout. No matter what, we must annihilate the remaining troops
, take it back to the headquarters and hand it over to the commander. Hurry up and convey the order right away..." After getting the affirmative answer from the squadron leader, think about the battle of more than an hour. The staff officer has very rich command experience.
Chang, suddenly woke up. He yelled, and shouted eagerly to the messenger who was about to leave...
In just five minutes, the two regiments were confronting each other. After more than an hour of fighting, the remaining more than 1,500 Japanese troops, led by commanders at all levels, carried a large number of wounded and quickly
They gathered around the Chief of Staff... Looking at the troops standing in front of him, almost half of their number was suddenly reduced. Looking at the large group of wounded soldiers lying on the ground, constantly wailing, the Chief of Staff felt like
Pain like dripping blood.
However, in the face of the life and death of himself and the troops in front of him, the chief of staff reacted instantly after a brief sigh of relief and began to issue specific combat tasks to the three captains in front of him: "The first brigade, for the third brigade,
A wave of offensive formations is responsible for opening a breakthrough for the troops in the Eighth Route Army's defense line. The second brigade takes all the lightly and seriously wounded and retreats. The third brigade is to block possible pursuers. From now on, the entire army is preparing
assault…."
"Hi, Chief of Staff..." The three captains took the order and left at the same time. Unexpectedly, what these Japanese soldiers didn't expect was that on the way to their breakout, there was a main battalion of the Eighth Route Army troops. On the wide street,
With a few sandbags built up fortifications, swords and guns unsheathed, they waited for these little devils to come and die.
Just as hundreds of soldiers were hiding behind the fortifications, waiting quietly for the arrival of the Japs, a loud shout of death came to their ears from the end of the street. Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred soldiers
The little Japs holding rifles and charging towards them quickly appeared in everyone's eyes. Nearly a hundred Japs soldiers, driven by the commander behind them, swarmed towards the fortification where they were.
"All machine guns, loaded with bullets, be ready to fire. No one is allowed to fire in advance without my order..." Looking at the little Japanese who were full of murderous intent and getting closer and closer to the position, the company commander who was guarding the back of the fortification said,
He did not show any fear, but showed a confident smile. He whispered an order to several machine gunners holding machine guns around him...
"Kaka..." Several crisp metal collisions sounded, and several machine gunners around the company commander loaded the machine gun bullets in their arms. Through the shooting holes piled up with sandbags in front of them, the black holes were slowly filled.
The barrel of the gun was stretched out. It was pointed accurately in front of him. The dense group of Japs was getting closer and closer to him, and he was ready to pull the trigger.
"Kill..." Just when nearly a hundred little Japs, holding weapons in their hands, rushed to less than fifty meters away from the entire defensive position, each of them thought victory was in hand and accelerated their charge.
.A crisp gunshot completely shattered the sweet dreams in their hearts, pulling them back from their dreams to the cruel and bloody reality.
With a crisp sound of gunfire, the tranquility on the defensive position was broken. Five dense tongues of flames spit out from the defense fortifications that were empty just a moment ago... The dense rain of bullets shot at each one mercilessly.
Still unaware, death has come to the chest of the little devil above their heads...
Five hot tongues of fire quickly formed an airtight bullet net on the street less than ten meters wide, constantly harvesting the lives of the little devils. In just a moment, they rushed to the final stage.
The dozens of Japanese soldiers in front were knocked down in a pool of blood. Among the dense formation of small Japanese soldiers, the soldiers at the back of the queue did not know that the comrades in front of them were blocking them.
It's being hit hard at this moment.
These Japanese soldiers not only did not retreat or hide in any way, but instead pushed the soldiers in front of them and kept hitting a barrage made of bullets until they were concentrated and turned into a corpse.
When he saw the corpse, he was shocked, stopped his charge, and fell heavily into a pool of blood...
"Da da da da..." In the intensive gunfire, the little Japanese who hit the bullet net one after another turned into soft corpses in the shocked expression... Finally, under the five machine guns, each
After a machine gun fired two full magazines, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers, except for the dozen or so who rushed to the end, were lucky enough to lie on the ground and escape the reaper of death. The remaining soldiers did not become corpses.
, just one by one, seriously injured people who kept making wailing sounds...
"Baga... Artillery, launch an artillery bombardment immediately, and must destroy the Eighth Route Army's defenses. The entire first brigade is ready to charge. This time, even if the entire army is destroyed, they must break through the Eighth Route Army's defenses. The guard team is responsible for supervising the battle.
Those who retreated were engaged in military law... "Although nearly a hundred soldiers turned into corpses in front of me in just a split second. However, after seeing more than a thousand soldiers still alive behind me, after a brief thought,
The chief of staff still mercilessly gave the troops the order to charge to the death, absolutely at the expense of the first brigade in exchange for the survival of the two brigade behind them...
"Boom, boom, boom..." A dense explosion sounded just as the chief of staff finished speaking. The Japanese army assembled all the mortars they carried, and at the same time, they began to pour a barrage of mortars against the Eighth Route Army defenses in front of them.
One shell after another. In less than a few seconds, the entire fortification was engulfed in a sea of flames...
Amidst the dense explosions, some soldiers who had not had time to retreat and move were torn into pieces by the shells. And more soldiers were turned into bloody corpses... Similarly, those who were piled up solely by sandbags
The fortifications, driven by the huge air waves generated by the intensive explosions, sandbags were thrown high and then torn into pieces, and the machine gun positions were blown into ruins...
Nearly a hundred artillery shells, in less than a minute, all landed on this fortification that was less than ten meters wide and less than ten meters long, and exploded, continuously killing and injuring all living people in the explosion area.
Eighth Route Army soldiers... As the smoke slowly dissipated, the fortifications that were neat just now were in a mess. Sandbags were blown everywhere, and the entire position was turned into ruins.
, there is almost no possibility to continue to use it...
"Yo Xi, warriors, in order to be able to rush out, fight with me...Kill them all and break through the Eighth Route Army's defensive position..." A burst of shouts rang out at the starting position of the Japanese army. The first brigade, after the first round of attack
, there were only more than 400 people left. As the order was issued, driven by several machine guns of the supervising team and the guard team behind them, they rushed out of the position screaming, and were already under artillery fire a few hundred meters away.
The Eighth Route Army fortifications, which had been blown into ruins, rushed over.
"Hide on the spot, machine gun, fire immediately, be sure to block the Japs' attack...the machine gunners will fire immediately...ta da da..." Seeing that the Japs' artillery fire had just ended, hundreds of topless men were preparing to launch a suicide attack.
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed to a place a hundred meters away. The company commander, who had just rushed to the position and had no time to react, loudly ordered to the soldiers behind him...
In an instant, after the intensive shelling, the remaining three machine guns of the entire company immediately sprayed out a dense rain of bullets at the scrambling little Japs... However, the bullets fired by the three crooked machine guns were not able to block them.
The Japanese attack. Although, one after another, the Japanese fell on the charging road and turned into corpses under the continuous fire of three machine guns. However, the soldiers charging behind them faced huge casualties in front of them.
, indeed had no intention of stopping. Instead, he stepped on the corpses of his comrades and faced the intensive bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army, and continued to charge...
At this moment, they have only one task in mind: to use their bodies to block bullets for the comrades behind them, so that the comrades behind them can rush farther under their protection...
Under the little devil's charge that was not afraid of death, the firepower fired by the three machine guns was obviously much weaker. In less than a few minutes, more than 400 Japanese troops were on the charge road less than 50 meters long.
, after leaving nearly a hundred corpses behind, the remaining troops finally rushed to less than fifty points away from the position. What's more, some Japanese soldiers had already begun to pull out their waistbands during the charge.
Grenade in the space, be ready to drop the bomb...
Seeing the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand and about to rush into their position, the company commander shouted loudly: "The infantry throws grenades, all prepare to retreat..." Immediately, nearly a hundred grenades that had been prepared were hidden in the machine
The soldiers behind the gunman quickly threw them onto the street in front of the little devil.
A burst of dense grenade explosions sounded, and the continuously exploding grenades immediately temporarily blocked the momentum of the Japs' charge. Then, the nearly a hundred soldiers remaining on the position, under the leadership of the company commander, quickly evacuated the position and got into
He entered the courtyard next to the street and disappeared into the position...
"Kill..." Without the resistance of the soldiers, the smoke in front of the little Japs slowly dissipated. The remaining Japs soldiers shouted slogans and easily rushed towards the ruins that had been blown up.
defensive positions…
"Reporting to your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army has been successfully broken through by our First Battalion. The troops are continuing to attack. Please Chief of Staff lead the team to break out immediately..." I saw my First Battalion rushing towards the Eighth Route Army's position, and quickly
Cross over to the location of the headquarters. The captain of the first brigade quickly reports.
"Yo Xi, the Second Brigade, the Third Brigade, take all the wounded, break out with me, break out to the headquarters, kill..." The chief of staff quickly drew out his command knife and pointed it at the nearly a thousand soldiers behind him.
, shouted loudly...
"Boom, boom, boom..." However, before he could finish his words, a burst of dense explosions came to his ears from the end of the street. Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers who had just prepared to break out, at the same time
Time stopped in his tracks, stretched his neck, followed the direction of the explosion, and looked over...
"Baga, how could my first brigade be like this? Bagaya Road, the Eighth Route Army is so cunning..." I saw that my first brigade, after successfully occupying the Eighth Route Army's position, was defeated in a split second.
The dense grenades thrown from the courtyards on both sides of the street were covered. More than three hundred Japanese soldiers were struggling amidst the dense explosions of grenades at this moment. The captain clenched his fists and cursed loudly, and could only
I watched helplessly as one after another Japanese soldiers fell to the explosion of grenades, letting out bursts of desperate screams, and turned into corpses.
Finally, as the explosions subsided, just when the gunpowder smoke that filled the streets had not dissipated, countless Eighth Route Army troops rushed out of the compounds on both sides of the street in an instant. Through the increasingly sparse gunpowder smoke in the air,
The little devil could clearly see that the Eighth Route Army soldiers quickly thrust their sharp bayonets into the bodies of the Imperial Army soldiers who were lying on the street before they had time to react...
In less than two minutes, the smoke that filled the streets finally dissipated. However, on the way the little Japanese broke out, a defensive position with sandbags piled up and several light and heavy machine guns appeared in the sky again.
On the position, he kept swinging the black muzzle of his gun. Behind this defensive position, the nearly 100-meter-long street was almost covered with the corpses of imperial soldiers, one corpse next to another.
There's not even a place to stay.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army. Order the artillery troops to immediately carry out indiscriminate artillery bombardment on the Eighth Route Army positions. Quick, carry out the artillery bombardment and blow up the Eighth Route Army in front of me to pieces...Fire the artillery..." Looking at the eyes.
In the tragic scene, the chief of staff clenched his fists, with swollen red eyes, and roared loudly at the commanders around him...
As the messenger left quickly, the chief of staff immediately raised his telescope and stared at the Eighth Route Army position a few hundred meters away without blinking, hoping to see the faces of these Eighth Route Army soldiers.
The scene of his body being torn apart by artillery shells. However, what disappointed him was that two minutes had passed and he still did not hear any gunfire in his ears. The Eighth Route Army soldiers in the telescope were still lying motionless.
Behind the bunker, he was quietly taking accurate aim.
"Baga, what's going on with the artillery? Why haven't we started shelling yet? Quick, the artillery unit will start shelling immediately, otherwise we will die..." The chief of staff frowned and faced a captain behind him.
He continued to roar. However, before he finished speaking, a burst of intensive gunfire came to his ears from the artillery position at the rear.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a second lieutenant team leader rushing towards this side with a face full of gunpowder smoke, and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, it is an emergency. The artillery position was attacked by the Eighth Route Army troops, and the entire artillery squadron was destroyed."
.....Now, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops are rushing towards the main force under the cover of artillery fire. Please make an early decision, Chief of Staff..."
"Nani? How could this happen? How could the Eighth Route Army's progress be so fast? Quick, the Third Battalion, rush forward immediately and must block the Eighth Route Army's attack. The Second Battalion, charge immediately and must break through the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions.
The Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire has only warriors who died in battle, and no cowards who were captured. Warriors, fight to the death, for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, for the sake of the Japanese Empire, and break through the blocking positions of the Eighth Route Army..." In life and death.
In front of him, the chief of staff immediately recovered from his shock. He quickly drew out his command knife and gave a loud order to the two remaining captains beside him...
"Kill..." Immediately, nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers, following the orders of the Chief of Staff, quickly divided into two and rushed towards their enemies... In an instant, several streets centered on the Japanese Chief of Staff
, there was a burst of intensive gunfire. However, under the fierce attack of several times the surrounding soldiers, the gunfire was getting closer and closer to the Chief of Staff...
