"Not many, there is an infantry squad on each wing!" the orderly replied nervously.
"Fortunately, I can still withstand it! The first platoon of the defensive company brings two machine guns to reinforce the left wing! The second platoon of the defensive company brings two machine guns to reinforce the right wing! We must stop the Japanese attack no matter what!" Yang Xiong made a very decisive decision.
"But then the frontal firepower and troops will not be enough!" the instructor immediately reminded!
"No problem, we still have grenades. At worst, we can use grenades to blow away the Japs! Also, don't forget that the battalion commander also brought us a heavy machine gun. At critical moments, this heavy machine gun can also be our trump card!"
Yang Xiong made a decision immediately without any discussion.
"General, our roundabout attack troops on both wings have worked!" Qiu Shuizuo, who saw the sudden weakening of the frontal blocking fire, judged excitedly.
Ono's solemn face also rarely showed a smile: "The Eighth Route Army opposite must have no trump card, otherwise it would not have deployed troops from the frontal defense line to reinforce the two wings. Their strength must be stretched to the point of being stretched!"
"Qiu Shuijun, you have done a good job. Let your people continue to strengthen the attack and strive to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line!"
"Hey, I'll make arrangements right away!"
The Japanese commanders are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and no one is more aware of the changes on the battlefield than they are.
Therefore, before Qiu Shuizuo's order was issued, the squadron leader noticed this fleeting fighter plane, then raised his command sword and shouted an order.
"Warriors, victory is imminent. The Chinese are about to be unable to withstand it. Kill them!"
A hundred or so Japanese soldiers, as if they had taken a stimulant, immediately accelerated their charge and rushed to the position risking their lives.
A quick charge from a distance of 70 to 80 meters would only take ten seconds. All the Japanese soldiers realized that it was a critical moment whether they could charge into the Eighth Route Army position.
In order to win and survive, everyone worked hard and rushed forward with a desperate attitude.
"Shoot, everyone shoot, stop the Japanese!" The Eighth Route Army on the position also tried their best.
The squad platoon leader fired his own gun and called on his subordinates to fight together.
When one person was killed or wounded, the stretcher team behind immediately carried him down, and then another soldier came up and continued shooting.
There were three crooked handles left on the front. Facing the Japanese soldiers who were so close, they didn't care about moving. The machine gunner in front was killed, and a new machine gunner rushed over from the side, took over the machine gun and continued shooting.
At this time, everyone has the same belief to shoot out as many bullets as possible to eliminate more Japs.
"Grenade preparation!" Despite this, more than seventy Japanese soldiers rushed to the front of the formation fifty meters away. Yang Xiong, who frowned, had to grab a grenade himself, stared at the Japanese soldiers in front of the formation, and shouted loudly
commanded.
"Put up the heavy machine gun and follow my orders before firing!" Yang Xiong then ordered.
"Throw grenades, throw all the grenades out!" Yang Xiong shouted after pulling the fire and throwing the grenades with all his strength.
"Shoot with the heavy machine gun and shoot where there are many Japs!"
Nearly a hundred grenades, emitting white smoke, flew out of the position and hit the Japanese.
Before the grenades and grenades exploded, the heavy machine gun placed in the middle of the position opened fire.
"Da da da!" The thick muzzle spit out a tongue of flame instantly, and then dense bullets flew towards the Japanese.
"Ah! Baga, the enemy still has heavy machine guns!" On the spot, five or six Japanese were killed and wounded by heavy machine guns with screams.
"Quick, machine gun fire, suppress the heavy machine gun. Grenade, kill this heavy machine gun. Other warriors continue to charge, kill them!" the Japanese squadron leader responded immediately.
Because there is a baffle in front of the heavy machine gun, most of the bullets are blocked. The only heavy machine gun is still like a harvester, harvesting the lives of the Japanese.
It wasn't until the grenade fired from the grenade hit the heavy machine gun position that the intensive machine gun fire stopped.
However, new machine gunners immediately rushed over, brought the corpses of their comrades, and continued shooting while holding the handle of the machine gun.
A few seconds later, the Japanese fired three grenades at once. The violent explosion directly destroyed the machine gun, and the heavy machine gun completely misfired.
But in just ten seconds, because the Japs were too close to the position and the heavy machine gun fired quickly, at least twenty Japs fell to the ground.
When the Japanese offensive was instantly thwarted by heavy machine gun fire, dense grenades and hand grenades rained down like rain.
"It's a grenade. Let's all rush forward. If we rush over, we will win. Kill them all!" The Japanese squadron leader was surprised at first, and then reacted.
Because of the terrain, the condescending Eighth Route Army could throw grenades at their side, but they could not hit the Eighth Route Army's position.
Therefore, here, he can only be beaten passively.
Only by rushing forward, even ten meters or even five meters, will the grenades thrown by everyone be effective.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed forward desperately. Those in front were blown over, while those behind continued to rush forward.
Grenades were raining down from above their heads. No matter whether they were lying down or something, they could not escape death. Only by rushing to the front of the Eighth Route Army and repaying them in the same way as others would they have a chance to survive.
In the end, more than 20 Japanese soldiers rushed over. Their faces were full of smoke and their bodies were covered with blood. They looked very cautious.
As soon as these Japanese soldiers rushed over, they threw grenades at the company's positions with skillful movements and without any hesitation.
"Shoot, there are not many Japs left, kill them with bullets!" Yang Xiong lay down in a crater to avoid the explosion of a nearby grenade, and then took out the Mauser pistol that had never been used.
"Bah, bang, bang!" He fired all twenty bullets at the Japs, and five Japs were killed and injured on the spot.
The soldiers who had pistols shot with pistols, and those who didn't used rifles and machine guns. About twenty Japs were killed and wounded more than twenty Eighth Route Army soldiers with grenades at the last moment, but still no one escaped death. The second round of grenades was not available yet.
They were all killed when they took action.
After all the Japs attacking from the front were killed, the Japanese troops attacking from the flanks retreated in a swarm, leaving behind more than twenty corpses each.
"Enter the bomb-proof cave, everyone must enter the bomb-proof cave!" Yang Xiong, who had learned the lesson from the last time, shouted before he could breathe a sigh of relief.
When everyone retreated into the bomb shelter, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky was heard overhead.
The reason why the retreat was so fast this time was partly because Yang Xiong reacted quickly. Another very important reason was that there were not many Eighth Route Army troops alive on the defense line all day long. He had three platoon leaders and six deputy platoon leaders.
, plus the six platoon commanders of the recruit company and the garrison company, there are a total of two platoon commanders and three deputy platoon commanders left!
Qiu Shuizuo had a gloomy look on his face. He was able to lose even the fat that did not reach his mouth, and he also lost an entire infantry squadron and three heavy machine guns.
Major General Ono was the same, with a gloomy face and didn't say a word for a long time.
