Nomura Naoka thought for a while and finally chose the latter.
Because he did not want to just give up an opportunity to block the Eighth Route Army and achieve meritorious service, Nomura was recently working hard to be promoted to lieutenant colonel, and he needed this record very much.
At the same time, Nomura Naoka was still a smart man. He knew that in this situation, he could not fight the enemy from a distance... The Japanese usually preferred to fight far away from the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that the Japanese were still in a high and advantageous position at this time.
But Naoka Nomura knew that the Eighth Route Army had incendiary bombs, which would probably cause them a lot of trouble. If they wanted to avoid this, they had to get involved with the enemy to make them use the enemy's weapon.
So Nomura Naoka drew his command sword and waved it forward, shouting: "Nomura Brigade, attack for the glory of the empire!"
The Japanese shouted loudly, jumped up from their hiding places, bayonets drawn, and rushed down the slope.
Li Yunlong was not intimidated by the Japanese's momentum and shouted: "Comrades, please fix your bayonets and beat me to death!"
The soldiers mounted their bayonets as quickly as possible, and then rushed up the reverse slope with a loud roar.
Wang Xuexin also led his men out of the woods to join the melee fight.
Sun Ming originally wanted to command the troops to join the battle group, but Li Yunlong turned back and shouted at him: "Stop, if you don't withdraw, it will be too late!"
Sun Ming knew that Li Yunlong was right.
Although the Japs are not as powerful as the Independent Regiment, their stabbing skills are excellent, and it is not a big problem to fight three of them in hand-to-hand combat.
If compared like this, the strength of more than 500 Japanese soldiers is not much different from that of more than 2,000 people in the independent group. Even if Sun Ming puts his troops into hand-to-hand combat, he will not be able to win in a short time. In addition, the mountain is narrow and can easily be blocked by fire.
, if we don’t break out at this time, no one will be able to break out when the main force on the other side of the Japs arrives.
Thinking about it, Sun Ming shouted to Li Yunlong: "Captain Li, I, Sun, have recorded this love today. If there is a chance, Sun will repay you with a spring of water! Sun will take the first step!"
After saying that, he led his men to retreat from the col.
On the slope, more than 500 Japanese soldiers and more than 800 soldiers of the independent regiment collided fiercely like two tides.
The sound of killing was loud and blood splattered, and the battle became intense as soon as it started.
If they just fought with bayonets, it would be difficult for the more than 800 soldiers of the independent regiment to defeat the more than 500 Japanese soldiers.
At this time, the incendiary bombs couldn't even work...the distance between them was too close, and the Japs were condescending and rushed downwards. The Molotov cocktails were thrown up to ignite the Japs. After becoming incendiaries, the Japs would rush into the crowd of Eighth Route Army soldiers and die together with our soldiers.
Although the Japanese were enemies, they were no less fierce than the independent regiments in fighting.
But Li Yunlong still dared to fight with the Japanese with bayonets. To be precise, it was a close combat.
The reason is no other than that there is a reconnaissance company equipped with Jin-made submachine guns in the independent regiment...
This is when the monk performs best.
The Japs rushed down the hillside with fierce eyes. The monk raised his hand and lightly pressed the trigger. After a few rounds of bullets, the Japs fell to the ground and rolled down.
Another Japanese soldier jumped up, intending to jump over the corpse of his comrade and rush towards the monk, but was knocked to the ground by several rounds of bullets fired by the monk who was still in the air.
Then the monk swept a fan with his submachine gun, mopped down a few of the Japanese, and immediately took out the cannon from his waist and called the Japanese by name one by one.
The soldiers of other scouts are similar, and many of them hold box cannons in one hand and engineering shovels as shields in the other...
This trick was developed by monks. This guy has great skills, including weapons and so on.
One day when he was playing with the engineer's shovel, he found that it was in a folded state. He held the folded shovel handle with his hand like a shield.
If it were just a shield, it wouldn't be of much use on the battlefield, because it could only defend but not attack.
But the reconnaissance company also has a box gun...and it has twenty shots.
What does the twenty-gun box gun mean?
That is twenty stabs, and twenty stabs that no one can stop.
If everyone in the reconnaissance company stabbed twenty times at will, there would be more than two thousand bayonets for more than a hundred people... Which team of Japanese soldiers could withstand this hand-to-hand combat?
Monk, although he is naive in fighting, he is very capable in handling, offense and defense.
It didn’t take long for the monk to figure out a set of close-quarter tactics:
The overall system still adopts the three-by-three system, but it is an inverted triangle, that is, two in front and one in back... This formation is usually used in hand-to-hand combat, because the first wave has a large killing area.
The steps for the two people in front are as follows:
Use the fastest speed to shoot out the bullets of the submachine gun and inflict a wave of damage to the Japanese... Although the submachine gun has strong sustained firepower, it also has the weakness of insufficient penetration in close combat. The two Japs went at it one after the other.
If you charge forward and fire all the submachine gun bullets at once, you can only kill the one in front, and basically do no harm to the Japanese behind.
Therefore, submachine guns are more suitable for sweeping out a fan in front during close combat, that is, the average output can knock down the Japanese in the front row.
After the submachine gun bullets are fired, the two people in the front need some time to get the engineer shovel and box cannon. At this time, the person in the rear moves forward to cover with the submachine gun.
Then the two of them switched to holding a "shield" in one hand and a box cannon in the other to fight.
When a Japanese bayonet comes, the soldiers can use the "shield" to block, block, and pull out... This routine was naturally taught by the monks. This guy incorporated the kung fu learned from the Shaolin Temple into it. To put it bluntly, it is a sword and shield.
moves.
After first using the "shield" to deflect the enemy's bayonet, the box cannon in the other hand was aimed at the enemy at the same time. When the trigger was pulled, there was a "bang" sound, and the enemy was either dead or wounded in just one encounter.
The monk's favorite thing is to point the pistol at the Japs' head, or to be precise, on the forehead between the eyes and pull the trigger.
The monk described it this way: "With such a beating, the devil will know that the end is coming. I just let him see me die clearly. Wouldn't it be easier for the devil to die inexplicably and in confusion?"
Wang Xuexin didn't know if what the monk said was right, but all the Japanese who were beaten to death by the monk had their eyes wide open and their brains burst out, and they died in extremely miserable conditions.
Wang Xuexin was not so lucky. He held a box cannon and knocked down three Japanese soldiers in succession.
But the Japanese rushed down the slope very quickly, and before Wang Xuexin had time to pull the trigger, the bayonet was already in front of him.
Wang Xuexin stepped aside, and the bayonet swiped across the side of his arm with a "chi" sound. A long strip of opening was made in the cotton-padded clothes and a piece of flesh and blood was picked up, which was painful.
Immediately afterwards, another Japanese stabbed him with a bayonet... The Japanese did not fight alone, but cooperated with each other. This made Wang Xuexin unable to avoid it, and even if he fired, it was too late.
At the critical moment, Liu Dazuo (a martial artist who sang in opera) rushed forward with two steps and struck him with a sharp knife...
This is sometimes the case in hand-to-hand combat, and a big knife in your hand may be more effective than a box cannon.
Because the box cannon fired several shots at the enemy, the enemy only shook his body and was still able to pierce the bayonet into your chest in a short period of time.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that the monk's tactic of using an engineering shovel as a shield is worth learning, because it is a kind of complementary attack and defense.
