An infantry squad plus those who escaped from the top of the mountain, the total number of Japanese soldiers blocking the Second Battalion was only ninety.
After such a long period of condescending massacre, the total strength of the Japanese army has been reduced sharply to less than 40 people.
More importantly, the Type 96 machine guns and grenade launchers they were equipped with were all turned into decorations, and no one could get close to them.
More than a hundred people from the Second Battalion suddenly stood up and launched an attack. The first reaction of the remaining Japanese troops was to fight.
He didn't care whether he was exposed or not, so he picked up the rifle and started shooting.
There were also some Japanese who just held the grenades and threw them out when the Eighth Route Army advanced ten meters further.
However, a dozen machine guns that are constantly firing are not a vegetarian.
At this moment, at least twenty Japs were killed and injured, and their combat effectiveness was instantly lost.
Of course, the machine gunner at the front of the Second Battalion also fell down several soldiers, and the machine gun and the machine gunner fell to the ground together. However, the deputy machine gunner at the back reacted quickly, rushed over, picked up the machine gun, and continued shooting.
"Comrades, rush over and we will win, follow me and kill!" the company platoon leader shouted while raising his pistol and firing.
After experiencing the bloody battle during the day, both veterans and new recruits were in desperate postures at this time.
Therefore, when they heard the order to rush the bees, these people rushed forward with howling as if they had been given a shot of blood.
"Warriors, the time has come to serve the empire, prepare to fight with bayonets!" the Japanese squad leader also fought, and ordered with a pair of red eyes.
When the second battalion rushed over, they launched a countercharge with rifles loaded with bayonets.
"Machine gun fire, kill them!" The second company commander who was rushing at the front ordered the machine gunner beside him without thinking.
"Da da da~" Amidst the intensive machine gun fire, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell on the charging road.
As soon as the Japs died, the Imperial Army soldiers lying motionless on the ground completely lost their warriors to continue fighting. They threw their guns to the side, knelt on the ground, raised their hands and begged for mercy: "I surrender, the Eighth Route Army commander, don't kill me!"
The Japanese instructors scattered around the Imperial Alliance Army subconsciously wanted to kill these worried puppet soldiers with bayonets, and then force the remaining puppet soldiers to continue fighting.
However, no matter how fast they were, they could not beat the speed of bullets. As soon as he raised the command knife, a string of bullets beat him into pieces.
"Battal Commander, nearly two hundred Imperial Army troops surrendered. Except for the seriously wounded, all the Japs are dead. The specific results have not yet been calculated!" The second company commander quickly rushed over with an excited smile and reported.
"The guard platoon, the reconnaissance squad, and all the wounded will stay behind to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield. Be sure to pay attention to the seriously wounded Japs and stab all the dishonest ones to death. Leave the rest alone. The Japs will come to treat them after daybreak.
If you can't hold on until dawn, you can only blame them for their bad luck. Our medicines are precious and we don't have enough to waste on them!" Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered.
The second company commander asked with a look of disbelief: "Batalion Commander, do you still have a mission? But the soldiers are too tired, and there are heavy casualties!"
Zhang Yunshan did not hide anything: "There is another Japs who are strengthening the squadron and are rushing here. The regiment leader has already passed with two platoons. They will definitely not be able to hold on for long. We must reinforce them!"
"The regiment commander has also passed by!" The second company commander was one of the earliest veterans to follow Wang Ping, and he had an extraordinary feeling for Wang Ping. When he heard that Wang Ping was in danger, he became anxious and asked immediately.
"It's over, maybe now I'm on fire with the Japanese!" Zhang Yunshan replied with a stern face.
"Bang bang bang... boom boom boom..." As he spoke, a burst of gunfire mixed with explosions sounded not far away.
The second company commander immediately reacted: "The regiment commander must be at war with the Japanese. Battalion commander, I will assemble the troops immediately.
There were nearly 300 troops before departure, but in the end, only about 100 troops were gathered in front of Zhang Yunshan, not even a company.
Although he was heartbroken, Zhang Yunshan couldn't control that much and directly ordered: "Bring enough ammunition and set off with me to reinforce the regiment commander."
"Captain Zhong, the Japs must have heard the gunshots from the direction of the Second Battalion and stopped. They noticed something was wrong and wanted to retreat!" Wang Ping led the team and just collided with the Japs. More than two hundred Japs turned around and retreated, leaving no trace behind.
He had no intention of coming down. He frowned at first, and then reacted quickly.
"That's for sure, Commander. I'll lead the men in pursuit right away. We have many machine guns, so we can definitely defeat the Japanese one by one!" Zhong Yusheng said with an eagerness to give it a try.
"No, what I want is annihilation, not defeating them!" Wang Ping shook his head and refused.
"There is a curve ahead. If we go in a straight line from the forest, we will be able to get in front of the Japanese! They also brought heavy machine guns and mortars, so they can't retreat any faster!"
Ten minutes later, the guard company directly blocked the Japanese less than 200 meters away from the second line of defense.
"Captain Zhong, take the second platoon to stop the Japanese on the spot. You must hold on until the second battalion comes over!" Wang Ping ordered after taking a glance at the surrounding terrain.
"The others follow me and prepare to attack the Japanese artillery and heavy machine guns."
"We must destroy their heavy machine guns and mortars first, otherwise we won't be able to defeat these devils even if Zhang Yunshan comes with reinforcements!"
Both tasks were full of risks. For the safety of the team leader, Zhong Yusheng wanted to refuse.
However, apart from this method, Zhong Yusheng really couldn't think of any other way, otherwise he would just watch the Japanese retreat the second line of defense in front of him. However, now that he has rushed in front of the Japanese, Zhong Yusheng is sure that the regiment leader will not let him go.
These devils.
In desperation, he could only order the third platoon leader: "You must protect the regiment leader! If something happens to the regiment leader, I will shoot you!"
Wang Ping directly waved his hand and ordered: "The Japs are coming, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what are you doing? Follow the order, and all of you in the third row will follow me!"
The Japanese did not know that Wang Ping had already arrived in front of them. Everyone had the same idea and immediately retreated to the third line of defense to avoid being overtaken by the Eighth Route Army.
Caught off guard, the guards fired three crooked guns from the second row, killing and wounding more than a dozen Japanese on the spot.
"Baga, enemy attack, there are enemies in front!" The leader of the Japanese team at the front shouted while lying on the ground.
Then he ordered: "The machine gun covers and fires, the grenade knocks out the enemy's machine gun, and the others charge, break through the enemy's defense line, and fight back to the position!"
The guard company is the company with the strongest combat effectiveness in the independent regiment except for the reconnaissance platoon.
Even though there are many new recruits inside, these recruits are the best trained.
As soon as the Japanese moved, Zhong Yusheng followed up and ordered: "The sharpshooters kill the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers, and the machine guns shoot the Japanese infantry. Fight where there are many Japanese people, and kill the Japanese as much as possible!"
Soon, the Japanese army failed in its first assault and lost another twenty Japanese soldiers.
Although the second platoon also lost a lot of people, the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the second platoon made the leader of the Japanese team realize that he would definitely not be able to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line with just his own team.
