The killing radius of the little devil's melon grenade can even reach ten meters. It is not like China's cheap grenades, many of which break in half when exploded, so their power is limited.
The little devil's grenade was filled with two to three hundred fragments. It exploded in the yard with a roar, and fragments the size of fingernails roared and sputtered out in all directions.
"Ah!"
The five Japanese soldiers who were slaughtering the wounded guerrilla soldiers with their bayonets were the first to bear the brunt. They were lifted up as lightly as broken sacks, and the splattered fragments cut them dripping with blood.
When they fell to the ground as hard as stones, their bodies facing the explosion were almost torn to pieces, and smoke was rising.
The Japs of the Skeleton Special Forces who were standing not far away were also caught off guard and suffered many injuries, mostly scratched by flying fragments and flying rubble and bricks.
Japanese Major Makino Kanan also fell down in the rubble immediately, but the rubble and gravel caused by the explosion still splashed onto his back, and he grinned in pain.
When he stood up in disgrace, he was no longer as high-spirited as before. Seeing his subordinates in the yard wailing under the influence of the explosion, he was so angry that his face was livid.
"Bagya Road!"
In order to avoid suffering in the hands of the Japs, these wounded guerrillas used their own Chengren bombs to blow up themselves and the Japs together.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, and the exploding blood and flesh were everywhere on the ground. When he saw these guerrillas who would rather die than surrender, they even pulled five of his elite soldiers on their backs before they died, he felt so angry in his heart.
The smoke and dust caused by the explosion in the yard stirred up, and the commander of the third company of the guerrillas who came for reinforcements also saw it.
"quick!"
The third company commander urged loudly, and the brothers were out of breath and ran straight to the place where the explosion occurred.
"puff--"
As soon as they turned a corner, there was a flash of gunfire on the rooftop opposite, and a brother who rushed out quickly was thrown away by a bullet belt that passed through his body at high speed.
The sniper team of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces had already occupied a high place on the roof. When they saw a group of Chinese officers and soldiers suddenly rushing out from the corner of the street, they hurriedly opened fire.
"Puff-"
The two brothers running too fast did not stop, and bullets whizzed in one after another. They were stunned, blood spattered, and they fell into the darkness.
Seeing the brother in front being pierced by bullets and falling to the ground, the third company commander rolled to avoid the bullets that passed over his body and broke into a cold sweat.
"If there are any Japanese, fight them!"
The third company commander rolled and crawled to the foot of a wall, pulled out the shell gun from his waist, and opened fire on the distant roof.
Although many of the brothers in the third company were recruits, they were also mixed with some veterans. The veterans reacted fastest and immediately spread out to find cover to fight back.
In such a free moment, several new recruits were hit by the Japanese sniper team and fell to the ground bleeding.
"First row, go around and kill them for me!"
Seeing how many of his brothers had fallen in an instant, the third company commander's eyes suddenly turned red. He had not yet realized that he had encountered a strong opponent.
"All in a row, follow me!"
The leader of the first platoon was a tall, thin man. He waved his hand angrily and led a platoon of brothers to turn around and dive into the dark alley next to them.
Suddenly there was a gunshot like exploding beans outside, causing the Skeleton Special Forces in the yard to load their bullets and look at their leader, Makino Kanan.
Major Makino Kanan had not yet calmed down the anger in his chest. Seeing that another squadron had hit the muzzle, a fierce murderous look appeared on his face.
"Counterattack! Destroy them!"
Makino Kanan was asked by his friend Major Aokawa to support these ambush troops. Now these ambush troops have been completely lost. Before he even fought, the elite special forces team members were killed and five were seriously injured. What did he do?
I can swallow this breath.
Makino Kanan pressed his hands outward, and the skeleton special forces members in the yard were like agile cheetahs, using the cover of ruins and darkness to jump out in the direction of the firefight.
Although the brothers of the third company of the guerrillas who came to support fought back with thunderous clatter, the Japanese sniper team was hiding in a high place. Instead, they killed several more people and were beaten, which made the third company commander feel extremely aggrieved.
The two Japanese sniper groups both used Type 97 sniper rifles, which were equipped with a 2.5x scope and a monopod. They used the scope to shoot moving guerrilla officers and soldiers, and their lethality was astonishing.
There are not many snipers in the main division of the Japanese. Generally, the old Japanese who can shoot more accurately are temporarily used as snipers on the battlefield.
However, in Makino Kanan's Skeleton Special Forces, snipers are standard equipment. Although the Type 97 sniper rifle was improved from the Type 38 sniper rifle, it only added a scope and some minor changes.
But for those Chinese soldiers who went to the battlefield without strict military training, Japanese snipers were a nightmare.
As long as they carry enough ammunition, two Japanese sniper groups can kill more than a company of Chinese officers and soldiers in a leisurely manner.
Now the Japanese snipers were condescendingly suppressing the officers and soldiers of the Third Company, while the Japanese assault troops used the cover of ruins and darkness to quickly approach the brothers of the Third Company.
Before the platoon responsible for outflanking broke out of the dark alley, they ran into a combat team of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces.
This combat team of the Skeleton Special Forces walked silently against the wall, so that when they arrived in front of a row, the officers and soldiers of the first row discovered it.
Compared to the Japanese's tactical prowess, many of these guerrilla officers and soldiers were newly issued with hoes. Who were their opponents? Before they could identify whether they were friends or foes, the opponent's grenades had already flown over.
"Boom, boom, boom--"
The dazzling explosion lit up the alleyway red, orange-red flames were billowing with the smoke, and thick blood was flying along with the screams.
The skinny platoon leader who led the team felt like he was flying lightly, his whole body seemed to fall apart, and then he landed heavily, and the whole world fell into darkness.
Before the smoke from the explosion had cleared, a Japanese combat team wearing skull helmets jumped up. The dull sound of gunfire was accompanied by screams. A platoon of guerrilla officers and soldiers all fell into a pool of blood with little resistance.
The Japanese Skeleton Special Forces are all carefully selected elite veterans. They are not only strong in combat during the day, but also powerful in night combat.
At this moment, their combat team was quickly using houses and ruins to surround the third company of guerrilla reinforcements.
"Company Commander, something is wrong. These Japs are a bit evil."
The second platoon leader saw that his brothers were shot in the head just as they raised their hands from behind the bunker. Several of them rolled over to the third company commander and shouted loudly.
The third company commander also discovered the tyrannical firepower and tough style of this little devil, and they actually attacked him head on.
"Company...Company commander, the Japanese are coming from behind. The whole row is over."
A skirmisher sentry at the back stumbled over. As soon as he finished shouting, he was shot in the face, and a fountain of blood spurted out from the back of his head.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The third company commander's face changed wildly. He also felt that these little devils were a little evil. He didn't care that he was here for reinforcements and hurriedly led his brothers to retreat.
