The officers in the Imperial Association Army also felt the turmoil among their subordinates, and they shouted anxiously: "Don't listen to the Eighth Route Army's nonsense, the Eighth Route Army will kill us even if we surrender. And with the Imperial Army watching behind us, it is impossible.
Surrender to the Eighth Route Army!"
"Everyone, please stop having delusions. Holding your position and blocking the Eighth Route Army's attack is the only hope for survival!"
"Woooooooo..." At this moment, the scream of cannonballs streaking across the sky suddenly sounded above everyone's heads.
The officer of the Royal Association Army, who had been shouting and even arrogant just now, suddenly confessed his feelings.
"No, it's a shelling. Everyone, please take cover!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." In the blink of an eye, a violent explosion rang in his ears.
Many Imperial Army soldiers who were caught off guard were killed and injured, including those loyal Imperial Army officers who worked for the Japanese!
The rate of fire of the mortar was very fast. It only lasted two minutes. Each gun still fired nearly fifteen rounds, which added up to three hundred rounds.
The already miserable position became even more miserable after being hit by so many shells.
"Tuba Road is coming, everyone, get ready for battle and shoot!" Looking at the Eighth Route Army that had reached a position less than 100 meters outside the village, the Royal Association Army officer who was still alive on the position shouted loudly, waving his pistol and threatening his subordinates to fire.
gun.
"Click, click, click..." The still-living Imperial Army had no choice but to fire, and the dense sound of gunfire quickly resounded throughout the battlefield.
At this time, those who observe carefully will find that although the sound of gunfire on the outer defense line of Huangtuling Village is also very intensive, the hit rate is much lower.
There is no doubt that many Imperial Alliance troops on the battlefield had their own thoughts after hearing the shouting just now.
The officers scattered in the middle of the team knew what was going on, but because everyone on the position was shooting out, all they had to do to hit the target blankly was to turn the muzzle slightly. In addition, the battlefield was chaotic, and these officers simply found out
There was nothing to do, I could only watch the Eighth Route Army rushing over.
"BaGeYaLu, are all your usual marksmanship training in vain? Aim and shoot, otherwise you will die!" The Japanese officer supervising the battle behind also noticed something was wrong and waved his command knife and shouted.
"Woooooo..." As soon as they finished speaking, the scream of cannonballs streaking across the sky reached their ears again.
"Why are you still firing artillery? Aren't the Eighth Route Army afraid of accidentally injuring our own people? Everyone, take cover!" The expressions of many officers of the Royal Association Army changed, and then they lay on the ground subconsciously and shouted loudly.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The shell exploded, but not beside them, but behind them.
In the violent explosion, the location where more than 30 Japanese war teams had gathered was directly enveloped in gunpowder smoke.
Because it was very open and had a good view, it could better supervise the Imperial Army's operations, so it was selected by the Japanese as a supervising team position.
But there is also a drawback. Because of the open space, if the artillery fires concentrated here, it only takes a few rounds of volleys, and all the dozens of Japanese here will be torn into pieces.
When the second round of artillery shells hit the spot and continued to explode, all the surviving Imperial Army troops on the position came up with an idea: "The Japanese supervising the battle behind are finished!"
Without Japanese soldiers to supervise the battle, continuing to fight against the Eighth Route Army and risking death is what a fool would do.
At this time, many officers did not shoot, but simply lay motionless on the ground, waiting for the Eighth Route Army to rush over and surrender.
As for the few officers of the Royal Association Army left on the position, they were very anxious and wanted to kill a few people to force their subordinates to continue shooting. But after losing the backstage of the Japanese Supervisory Team, they simply lost the courage.
No one can guarantee that in a chaotic battlefield, after one of his subordinates shoots one of his subordinates, other subordinates will shoot him coldly.
"Comrades, the Japs on the position have finished their fun, rush up and destroy them!" The company commander leading the Eighth Route Army immediately noticed the strange movement on the position and shouted loudly.
"Comrades, charge... Surrender or die... Surrender or die..." With various shouts of killing, an infantry company charged into the outer defense line of Huangtuling Village like wolves and tigers.
More than a hundred Imperial Army troops immediately dropped their guns and surrendered.
As one point on the defense line was broken through by the Independent Regiment, the Imperial Army in other directions quickly collapsed, and one after another became prisoners of the Independent Regiment.
After the order was given to Colonel Kato's temporary headquarters in the village to use the Imperial Army to hold back the Independent Regiment, Colonel Kato was in a good mood. He even began to imagine how he would command the Imperial Army in the village to rush out of the village after the reinforcements arrived.
The scene of annihilating the independent group outside the village.
"Boom, boom, boom..." At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded near the headquarters.
The artillery staff member was the first to react: "Sir, it's mountain artillery. The Eighth Route Army is shelling the village with mountain artillery!"
"Bage Ya Road, the Eighth Route Army must have noticed that we were building a position in the village, and then opened fire!" The good mood on Kato Colonel's face suddenly disappeared, and he cursed loudly.
Then he ordered: "Each squadron or squadron should be dispersed as much as possible when building positions. Do not concentrate the troops together. Don't be overwhelmed by the artillery shells from the Eighth Route Army!"
"Hi!" A combat staff officer immediately rushed out of the headquarters.
But less than five minutes had passed when an officer with the rank of lieutenant rushed in.
He smelled of gun smoke and his face was blackened. More importantly, there was a bandage on his arm, and bright red blood was seeping out through the bandage. At a glance, it was clear that this officer had just come off the battlefield.
Kato Colonel frowned, but before he could speak, the officer reported anxiously.
"Sir, it's over. The perimeter defense line is over."
"The Imperial Army was either wiped out or taken prisoner, and the supervisory team formed by the Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses!"
"Nani? How could it be so fast!" The expected two hours ended in less than half an hour, and Colonel Kato couldn't help but be surprised.
"Tubal Road was too cunning. They first shouted to the Imperial Army to force them to surrender. Then they concentrated artillery fire to break through one of the points. During the attack, they also bombarded the Imperial Army Supervisory Team behind the attack point. In just a few minutes, this point was destroyed.
They broke through."
"If one point is broken through by Tubal Road, the entire defense line will collapse!"
"Baga, it seems that we have all underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army! Kato Colonel cursed loudly, and then quickly reacted~"
"The outer defense line has been breached. We must not let them take the opportunity to enter the village! All imperial troops must enter the position immediately and prepare to fight! Also, contact the general. The Tubal offensive is too fierce and the troops have suffered heavy losses. Please speed up the reinforcements.
!”
"Hey, sir, I will go and give the order right away. The warriors have been anxious for a long time. The battle will definitely surprise Tubalu!" A major officer replied with confidence.
