The guerrilla officers and soldiers broke out with strong combat effectiveness. The loss of the first trench outside the Japanese army made the Japanese captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu slightly stunned.
"Strictly guard the position, and those who retreat without permission - kill!"
The vicious look from the brigade captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu made the staff members in the brigade tremble involuntarily.
The Japanese's three trenches were fifty meters apart from each other, and were supported by fortresses and ring-shaped machine gun nests.
Although the guerrilla officers and soldiers easily broke into the first trench and eliminated the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, they were blocked by strong firepower when they attacked the second trench.
"Up! Up!"
The leader of the detachment, Liu Jinhu, whose face was blackened by smoke, was carrying a 79 rifle and firing forward while charging with a roar.
Without taking a breath, the guerrilla officers and soldiers quickly jumped out of the first trench and rushed towards the second trench.
"Puff puff--"
As soon as more than a dozen brothers jumped out of the trench, a series of bullets hit them head-on. They rolled back into the trench with blood all over their bodies.
"Machine gun suppression, come on!"
Seeing that more than ten of his brothers were gone in the blink of an eye, Liu Jinhu's eyes were about to burst into flames.
The heavy machine gun quickly followed and was set up on the trench, and the canvas bullet belt was sent up, followed by scarlet bullets.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of the cover of heavy machine guns, the guerrilla brothers held the upper edge of the trench with one hand, jumped out of the trench, and pounced directly on the Japanese bunker.
The bullets landed at the feet of the brothers, causing the soil to splash more than half a meter high, and the blood mist filled the air. The brothers were shot one by one and fell to the ground.
The brothers behind grabbed grenades and rushed forward again. After losing more than 20 brothers, the Japanese bunker was blown to pieces with a roar of fire.
However, several Japanese machine guns quickly blocked the way. Before they could cheer, the brothers fell into a pool of blood again, and the charge was suppressed again.
Although the guerrilla columns are equipped with light and heavy machine guns and mortars, their firepower is still too weak. Facing the dense firepower network, they will be torn to pieces if they hit it.
"Charge, keep charging!" the officers of each guerrilla detachment shouted at the top of their lungs.
Amidst the thunderous sound of gunfire, the guerrilla brothers attacked the Japanese defense line four or five times but were pushed back. Instead, they left behind a layer of blood-stained corpses.
The Japanese's secondary defense was like an iron wall, firmly blocking the offensive pace of the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
Seeing the guerrilla officers and soldiers rushing up like moths to a flame, and then falling down in droves, the Japanese soldiers had ferocious sneers on their faces and kept pouring out ammunition.
"Liu Jinhu, what did you do? Why haven't you taken it down yet?"
The guerrilla attack was thwarted, and the guerrilla commander was furious and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle.
"Commander, the enemy's firepower is too strong, brothers can't rush up!"
Seeing the corpses of his brothers spread out on a thick layer outside, the captain of the first team, Liu Jinhu, also had red eyes.
"I don't want to hear an explanation. I give you half an hour. You must take down the Japanese position! Otherwise, you will be shot for fear of battle!" The guerrilla commander clasped his hands behind his back and rushed towards another attacking detachment angrily.
"Sir Liu, what should we do?" Faced with the commander's strict order, the bloodstained guerrilla brothers all turned their attention to Liu Jinhu.
Liu Jinhu tore off his military uniform and gave the order with red eyes: "Reorganize the attack, even if you use your teeth to gnaw it off, you have to gnaw it off!"
"Yes!" Although the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas suffered heavy losses, they were also furious.
The guerrilla detachment launched rounds of fierce attacks on the Japanese positions on the outskirts of Huaiyin from all directions. Countless artillery shells were thrown down, and the Japanese positions became a sea of fire.
However, the guerrilla detachment's artillery shells are limited after all, and most of the time they are pushed forward step by step by flesh and blood.
The bullets were like locusts, dense as rain, and the whizzing shells kept exploding in the darkness, tearing apart the broken corpses to pieces.
"Destroy the Japanese! Recover Huaiyin!"
The brothers shouted slogans and attacked the Japs' defense line over and over again. Although the Japs' firepower was fierce, the defense line was crumbling due to the tidal wave of impact.
"The guerrillas' attack is so fierce that we can't withstand it anymore!"
A puppet military camp guarding a position in the west of the city faced the constant onslaught. They had lost most of their lives and had to endure the heavy artillery fire to call the phone in the city.
"Hold your position, and those who retreat will be killed!" Over the phone, the Japanese communications staff's answer was cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Mom, fuck me, little devil, I'm your ancestor." After hanging up the phone, the puppet battalion commander yelled angrily.
"Boom!"
Several grenades from the guerrillas fell down, and several puppet soldiers were immediately blown into pieces. The choking smoke poured into the puppet army's battalion headquarters.
"Battal Commander, Battalion Commander, the guerrillas are attacking." A bloody puppet soldier stumbled into the puppet army's battalion headquarters.
There was a shout of "kill Zhentian" outside, and the guerrilla officers and soldiers also recognized that this place was defended by the puppet army, so they specially used the remaining grenades to smash them, and finally broke a hole in the defense line.
"Damn it, let's go!" Seeing the ferocious guerrillas charging towards him, the puppet battalion commander dared not stop, so he turned around and retreated.
As soon as the puppet battalion commander left, the puppet troops behind also collapsed with a crash, and they all retreated crying.
"Get back! If we pull back again, shoot!"
The puppet battalion commander led the defeated people and rushed back. As soon as he reached the third defense, a string of bullets hit his feet.
"Taijun, Taijun, I can't stop you."
Behind them were bullets flying around, and in front of them were the muzzles of black holes. Hundreds of puppet soldiers were blocked in the middle, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Those who retreat without permission will be killed without mercy!" The Japanese officer's eyes were cold and stern, leaving no room for turning.
"Kill!"
The guerrillas behind them had already taken advantage of the situation to attack, and the puppet troops suddenly became commotion. Ignoring the Japanese's warning, they stepped back again.
The cold Japanese officer waved his hand, and the machine gunner beside him pulled the trigger, and a string of bullets was fired out.
"Puff puff--"
The bullets penetrated into the group of puppet soldiers, and dozens of them were shot dead immediately, scaring the rest of the puppet soldiers into retreating.
"Counterattack, take back your position, or you will die!" the Japanese officer roared, waving his saber.
The puppet battalion commander now regrets so much that he surrendered to the Japanese. But now it is impossible to betray him. It would be strange if the red-eyed guerrillas don't chop them alive.
"Brothers! If you want to survive, fight back with me!"
The puppet battalion commander was forced to have no choice but to lead his men back to fight, and strangled them with the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
The entire outside of Huaiyin was a mess, with guerrillas, puppet troops, and Japanese fighting desperately on the battlefield. Both sides fought for every inch of land, and the battle was bloody.
However, in the face of the fierce firepower net of the Japanese and puppet troops, although the guerrilla officers and soldiers suffered heavy losses, they were still unable to break through. The battle lasted until the middle of the night and they were no longer able to launch a new attack.
