The battlefield where bullets were flying was shrouded in billowing black smoke, and the snipers of the Jaap Wolf Squadron hiding among the conventional offensive troops kept pulling the triggers.
"Puff!"
The light and heavy machine gunners of the Chinese garrison officers and soldiers encountered targeted blows. Blood spurted out, and firepower points misfired one after another.
"Kill Gai Gai!"
The Japanese infantry who were suppressed and unable to charge forward saw the defenders' firepower weakening and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.
The Japanese's grenade grenades continued to land on the defenders' positions, and some people kept screaming and being blown up.
The dense rain of bullets also fired wildly at the Chinese officers and soldiers guarding the position. The Chinese infantry, who had lost their light and heavy firepower, were suppressed to the ground and could not move at all.
A brother just stepped forward and wanted to fight back, but his head was hit with red and white things. The entire frontline officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese were already close to a distance of dozens of meters.
"Batalion Commander! I can't stop it!"
The Japanese on the left and right wings also pressed forward. In the thick smoke, there were Japanese soldiers rushing forward with bayonets everywhere, and the defense line was crumbling.
"Third row cover, others retreat to the second defense!"
Seeing that the first line of defense could no longer be defended, the first battalion commander Peng Jisheng had to order the troops to withdraw to the second defense.
The officers and soldiers, whose faces were scorched with smoke, immediately rolled and crawled towards the second defense line. The third platoon responsible for covering used their only remaining machine to desperately block the oncoming Japs.
"Da da da......"
The machine guns were firing wildly, and the wind-like bullets knocked down batches of little Japanese who rushed towards them. There was already a thick layer of corpses in front of the position, but the Japanese behind were still stepping on the corpses and rushing upward.
"Boom! Boom!"
This light machine gun didn't go off for long, when several Japanese grenade grenades hit it. Several officers and soldiers in the machine gun team were immediately blown away, and the machine gun also misfired.
"boom!"
After the first battalion commander Peng Jisheng knocked down a Japanese soldier who rushed more than 20 meters away with one shot, he turned around and saw all the men in the machine gun team lying in a pool of blood. He immediately threw away the gun in his hand and threw himself on it.
He went over and picked up the machine gun.
Fortunately, the machine gun was pinned under a corpse and was not damaged. After changing the magazine, Peng Jisheng, the commander of the first battalion, set up and started shooting wildly.
Hot bullets spurted out, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground covered in blood. The Japanese soldiers behind were so frightened that they fell to the ground again.
The sound of machine guns here attracted the attention of Japanese Major Makino Kanichi. He put the first battalion commander Peng Jisheng who was shooting the machine gun wildly into the crosshairs.
"boom!"
The first battalion commander Peng Jisheng fell down in response. A blood hole appeared on his forehead. After he fell to the ground, blood was pouring out.
"Batalion Commander, Battalion Commander!"
Several brothers rushed over, but the sound of popping kept sounding, bullets flew past, and they all fell next to the first battalion commander Peng Jisheng.
"Little devil, I'm going to fuck your grandma!"
The two remaining brothers in the third row looked around and found that no one was dead. They immediately became furious and rushed out with grenades in their hands.
Seeing two Chinese officers and soldiers rushing out, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers with bayonets rushed over with ferocious expressions. The Japanese soldiers blocked the view of the snipers of the Wolf Squadron behind them, so that they had to give up shooting.
"Boom!"
But when the snipers of the Japs Wolf Squadron were just about to move their positions, there was an earth-shattering explosion not far away. The two Chinese officers and soldiers and more than a dozen Japs fell radially into a pit of smoke.
Around.
"Bagaya road!"
Seeing this scene, the Japanese sniper of the Wolf Squadron immediately turned livid with anger. He did not expect that the other party would actually rush up and die together.
The death of the 1st Battalion Commander Peng Jisheng and the loss of the first line of defense made the entire 1st Battalion almost defeated by the Japanese. Fortunately, the deputy battalion commander took over the command in time.
After the desperate fighting of the officers and soldiers, the First Battalion managed to stabilize its position on the second line of defense. However, facing the Japanese soldiers rising like a tide, the situation of the entire position was still not optimistic.
"What's Peng Jisheng doing? He lost his first line of defense so quickly!"
After seeing through the telescope that the Japanese had broken through the first line of defense of a battalion, the regiment leader Pi Xuanyou was so angry that he cursed.
"Go tell Peng Jisheng that if we can't regain the position, I will shoot him!"
But before the messenger had taken a few steps, a battalion of men stumbled into the trench under artillery fire.
"Report, report to the regiment, our battalion commander was killed..." the signal soldier of the first battalion reported with red eyes.
After hearing this, regimental leader Pi Xuanyou was stunned on the spot. He did not expect that Peng Jisheng, the commander of the first battalion who had followed him for many years, would just go like this.
But now that the war situation was urgent, he held back the tears in his eyes and did not let them fall. He ordered with a choked voice: "Let the deputy battalion commander take over the command and guard the position for me!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier looked at the regiment commander Pi Xuanyou, whose eyes were filled with tears. After raising his hand to salute a military salute, he turned around and rushed into the battlefield where explosions continued.
The scene of the signal soldier saluting the regiment leader Pi Xuanyou happened to be seen by the Japanese Major Makino Kanichi who was looking for the garrison headquarters with a telescope.
Makino Kanichi and his snipers destroyed the front-line defenders' firepower points and assisted the conventional troops in capturing some positions.
However, the resistance of the Chinese defenders who retreated to the second line was still very tenacious, so the Japanese Major Makino Kanichi wanted to destroy the defenders' command post and completely paralyze the defenders' command system.
"At eight o'clock, attack!"
When the Japs' Major saw someone saluting the regiment leader Pi Xuanyou, he immediately looked like a wolf smelling something fishy and his eyes became hot.
Soon, the snipers of the Wolf Squadron stayed on the front line to assist the conventional troops in continuing the attack, while the Japanese commandos of the Wolf Squadron followed Makino Kanki and attacked the command post of regiment commander Pi Xuanyou.
"Da da da--"
These commandos of the Wolf Squadron are all equipped with hundreds of submachine guns, and when the trigger is pulled, a shuttle of bullets is released.
Seeing them rushing towards the command post, some Chinese officers and soldiers tried to stop them, but after just one confrontation, they all fell into a pool of blood.
"Members of the group, move quickly, there is a group of little devils coming towards us!"
The platoon leader of the guard platoon of the 54th Regiment was responsible for the security of the regiment headquarters. When he saw a group of Japanese soldiers coming toward them, he was shocked.
The regiment commander Pi Xuanyou was directing the battle, and he did not expect that Japanese soldiers were coming towards them. However, the battle was now at a critical moment. If the headquarters retreated, the morale of the troops would be in chaos.
The regiment leader Pi Xuanyou gave a direct order: "Your guard platoon, push them down!"
"yes!"
The guard platoon leader led the remaining half of the platoon and quickly rushed forward, preparing to block Makino Kanichi's troops.
However, Makino Kanichi and the others' firepower was fierce. Although the guard platoon was elite, they could not stop such a tough little Japs, and they were all killed soon.
"Surround us!"
Makino Kanichi and his Japanese troops rushed forward like wolves and tigers. Captain Pi Xuanyou did not expect that this group of Japanese troops was so strong, so he could only lead the command staff to retreat hurriedly.
As soon as they rushed out of the command post, they saw the Japs from Wolf Squadron knocking them down. Both sides opened fire without hesitation.
"Da da da!"
"Puff puff!"
Both sides fired at close range. The bullets penetrated the body and made a dull sound. Blood mist filled the air. The people in the front row of both sides convulsed and fell down.
Faced with the powerful firepower of the Japs, the regiment leader Pi Xuanyou and the others had to retreat into the command post, but then the grenades rolled in. Amidst the rumbling explosions, the command post was swallowed up by the flames of the explosion.
"You little bitch!"
Li Weixun, the deputy commander of the third battalion who was commanding the frontline combat operations, saw Japanese soldiers rushing towards the regiment headquarters. Knowing that the regiment command consisted of half a guard platoon, he hurriedly led people back for reinforcements, but it was still a step too late.
