"Hold it, hold it all. Shoot with all your strength to stop the Japanese!" the third company commander shouted anxiously with a sullen face.
As soon as the order was given, blood was still pouring out of his arms. It was obvious at a glance that the platoon leader who had been shot rushed over.
"Company Commander, the enemy's offensive firepower was too fierce, including heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenades and mortars. The soldiers didn't even have a chance to raise their heads!"
"Then we have to withstand it. The Japanese's first attack has not been repelled yet, so we cannot use the machine gun bunker now. What about the second and third attacks of the Japanese?" the third company commander ordered without hesitation.
"Yes, company commander, I will withstand the first round of Japanese attacks even to the death!" The platoon leader also became fierce and assured loudly.
A main company and a company of recruits lost more than 100 people in less than five minutes of fighting.
Although the first echelon of the Japanese and puppet troops of more than 200 people also lost most of them, they still managed to fight from 150 meters in front of the formation to 670 meters in front of the formation.
At this time, more than 200 people from the second echelon of the Japanese and puppet troops had joined the battle. Light machine guns, rifles, and bullets were hitting the position, further strengthening the offensive firepower.
"Company Commander, we must have a choice! The troops have suffered heavy losses and the Japanese army has strong firepower. Either use machine gun bunkers or move up the garrison company, otherwise we will definitely not be able to stop their offensive!" The instructor also rushed over at this time.
"Reinforcements can't be sent!" the company commander directly denied.
"The enemy's firepower is too strong. Coming in with reinforcements is no different from committing suicide!"
"The two machine gun bunkers on both wings will fire immediately, trying to capture the second level of Japanese and puppet troops and reduce the pressure on the surface positions!"
"After the two firepower points fire, the pressure on the position will definitely be relieved. Reinforcements will come up at this time, try to eat the first echelon of Japanese and puppet troops, and then fight with all their strength against the third echelon of Japanese and puppet troops!"
"Click, click, click!" Two heavy machine guns from the two machine gun bunkers, four made in the Czech Republic, opened fire immediately.
A total of six tongues of fire formed a dense crossfire directly in front of the second echelon of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The whizzing bullets immediately smashed into pieces the dozen or so machine gunners at the front.
Then, without giving the candidate machine gunner a chance to pick up the machine gun and start shooting again, the muzzle of the gun was slightly deflected, and bullets flew towards them.
In the blink of an eye, more than thirty Japanese machine gunners were killed.
The six light and heavy machine guns had no intention of stopping, and they opened fire on the riflemen behind the machine gunners, killing them as much as possible.
Nearly ten Type 96 light machine guns that were used as submachine guns misfired instantly, and the pressure on the third company on the position suddenly eased.
"Shoot quickly, increase the firepower, and destroy the Japanese and puppet troops in front of you!" The third company commander seized the opportunity and ordered loudly.
"The garrison company immediately entered the position and launched an all-out counterattack to block the Japanese and puppet attack!"
Major General Ono, the commander of the Japanese brigade who was watching the battle from behind, not only did not have any worries on his face, but instead showed a proud smile from the bottom of his heart.
After changing the offensive method according to his ideas, the Imperial Army lost only one infantry squad and forced the independent regiment to expose its permanent firepower points.
If this battle situation continues, the Imperial Army, which has lost an infantry squadron, will be able to seize the independent line of defense. For such a loss, Major General Ono can still accept it.
Seeing that the brigade commander was in a good mood, the chief of staff immediately ordered: "The artillery fired flares, contacted the aviation in the sky, and destroyed the exposed firepower points of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible!"
After more than half a minute passed, the scream of a string of mountain artillery shells streaking across the sky rang directly in the air.
Then within ten seconds, the two machine gun bunkers were enveloped in thick red smoke.
"Woooo!" The bombers cruising in the air were like eagles spotting their prey and immediately began to dive.
The ear-piercing whistle that broke through the air, accompanied by the dull roar of the engine, became louder and louder, reaching the ears of everyone on the battlefield.
Just when the bomber was about to hit the ground, it reversed in the air and the bomber flew directly against the ground and rushed back into the sky.
At the same time, a black aerial bomb struck next to a machine gun bunker like it had eyes.
"Boom!" The earth-shaking explosion sounded quickly, followed by a thick column of black smoke rising into the sky.
The machine gun bunker that had spit out three machine gun flames just now suddenly stopped moving.
After the roaring bomber circled in the air, it immediately aimed at another machine gun bunker that was still firing, dived, and dropped bombs...
The two machine gun bunkers were destroyed, and more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops in the second echelon were killed. Less than 100 people were killed.
More importantly, using this more than a minute, the third company commander and the newly reinforced garrison company killed all the remaining dozens of Japanese and puppet troops in the first echelon.
"Keep shooting and block the second echelon of the Japanese and puppet troops!" the third company commander promptly ordered.
But at this moment, the third echelon of more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops rushed up again.
The first nine Type 96 light machine guns were held in the arms of the machine gunner and fired at the position like submachine guns.
The firepower increased instantly and caught off guard, there were more than a dozen soldiers with their heads exposed and shooting.
"Pay attention to concealment, the enemy's firepower has increased again!" After quickly lowering his head to avoid the bullets whizzing past his head, the third company commander shouted loudly with a sullen face.
"Company Commander, the Japs are about to charge forward. We must use firepower to stop them!" the instructor next to him fired a bullet from his rifle and quickly lowered his head to remind.
The third company commander is also in a dilemma. The only trump card left in his hand is the machine gun bunker in the middle of the position.
If you use it now, if something unexpected happens, you will have no trump card.
But without it, under the cover of powerful offensive firepower, he would not be able to stop the Japanese and puppet troops' offensive.
Once they are allowed to rush into the position and hand-to-hand combat breaks out, the third machine gun bunker may not even have a chance to be used.
Thinking of this, the third company commander immediately made a decision: "You stupid little devil, this is attacking us with a wheel battle, and it won't give us any rest buffer time at all!"
"Since I want to fight hard, I will fight with you!"
"The firepower point in the middle will fire immediately to kill the Japanese and puppet troops in the third echelon! Other troops will seize the opportunity to eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in the second echelon as soon as possible, and then use all their strength to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in the third echelon."
As soon as the third machine gun bunker opened fire, more than a dozen Japanese machine gunners were killed and wounded one after another.
The third company commander immediately commanded the remaining riflemen in the position to seize the opportunity to counterattack and kill as many Japanese and puppet troops as possible in the second echelon.
At this moment, Major General Ono, with a satisfied smile on his face, suddenly ordered: "Chief of Staff, contact the bombers to kill the third firepower point!"
"Also, let the attacking troops retreat immediately, and the artillery brigade immediately cover the Eighth Route Army's defense line with artillery fire. Five minutes later, deploy troops to launch a new round of attack and capture the Eighth Route Army's defense line in one fell swoop!"
"Hey! I'm going to give you the order right away!"
