"Company Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops are coming. There are many people. They want to break out from us!" The company deputy instructor reminded anxiously even though his face was pale after being beaten.
"Shoot, stop them even if you die!" Even though he knew that raising his head now meant death, the company commander still ordered without hesitation.
"Comrades, if you wait for the Japanese and puppet troops to rush over, you will die. If you counterattack now, you can kill a few more people. Everyone shoots immediately, killing one by one..." After the command was issued, the company commander climbed directly next to a sacrificed machine gunner.
Ignoring the bullets flying above his head, he lowered his machine gun to the ground, lowered his body as low as possible, and opened fire on the Japanese and puppet troops rushing over.
"Click, click, click..." The gunfire sounded, and the flames generated by the burning propellant quickly formed a tongue of flame at the muzzle. In a few seconds, more than a dozen bullets flew out.
The puppet soldiers who rushed at the front were knocked down several times in one fell swoop.
"Baga, suppress the machine gunner's fire, kill the blocking fire on Tubal Road!" The still-living Japanese heavy machine gun squadron leader pointed at the company commander who was exposed due to the muzzle gunpowder and shouted.
"Da da da!" Immediately, two Japanese heavy machine gunners reacted. As soon as the muzzles of their guns turned, a string of bullets flew towards the company commander.
Even though the company commander lowered his body as much as possible, the sudden burst of bullets still left several bloody holes on his body, and he lay on the ground with a look of reluctance.
"Company Commander! Company Commander..." A guard lying next to him shouted with red eyes.
Seeing that the company commander did not move, a trace of sadness and anger quickly appeared on his face, and then he shouted loudly: "Comrades, the company commander has died. To avenge the company commander, shoot and kill the Japanese!"
The dozens of surviving soldiers from the third company all looked sad and angry.
At this time, no one thought of retreating, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't.
Bullets were flying overhead, and if he moved, he would definitely attract a crazy attack from the Japanese.
Rather than being inexplicably killed by heavy machine gun bullets fired by the Japanese on the way to retreat, it would be better to lie down here and fight the Japanese.
In the end, the Third Company failed to escape the fate of being wiped out.
Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita, who broke out with the troops, breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the remaining troops to break out without saying a word.
Because the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army had already surrounded them, and the more than a hundred people left behind collapsed before they could hold on for even a minute.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the attacking Eighth Route Army knew this very well.
Following the broken troops, they rushed towards them like wolves and tigers, shooting at the same time.
The whizzing bullets seemed to be free of charge, knocking over the subordinates who were breaking out of the encirclement and retreating.
It has been less than two minutes since the first regiment commander received the order to block the attack, and even a simple line of defense has not been established.
As soon as the nearest company was assembled, the Japanese and puppet troops rushed over.
The regiment leader gritted his teeth and ordered decisively: "Deploy the company on the spot and hold off the Japanese for at least five minutes!"
"Chief of Staff! Immediately organize other troops to build the defense line at the back. If possible, organize the artillery battery to fire several rounds of volleys at the enemy, and cover the entire company to stop the enemy!"
"Ta-ta-ta!" The four machine guns equipped in a company suddenly fired. The Japanese and puppet soldiers who were caught off guard were killed by seven or eight people at once.
However, this casualty did not affect the desire of the Japanese and puppet troops to escape for their lives. They continued to rush forward in the face of a series of bullets, and Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita also responded quickly!
"Heavy machine gun cover, the artillery kills the machine gun fire points. There are not many Tubal roads blocking us, we will win if we rush over!"
Because there was no position, it was difficult for the machine gunners to move under the suppressive fire of the Japanese heavy machine guns. Faced with the precise artillery shells fired by the Japanese army, within a minute, the four machine guns were blown into scrap metal, along with more than a dozen machine gunners and soldiers.
He was also killed and injured.
"Hold on and shoot with your rifle! Get your grenades ready. When the Japanese are close, use grenades to greet the Japanese!" the heartbroken regimental commander ordered decisively.
Amidst the dense and chaotic gunfire, Japanese and puppet troops continued to fall forward and fell to the ground during the retreat, and then never got up again.
Similarly, people from the first company lying on the ground were constantly hit by heavy machine gun bullets fired in the direction when they were raising their guns to fire. Their heads tilted and they lay motionless on the ground.
"Get ready for grenades, throw grenades!" the regiment leader ordered promptly.
A company with less than a hundred men left quickly threw the grenade. In an instant, a violent explosion sounded in front of the company.
Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops were caught off guard and were blown over.
"Retreat!" Although he knew that if the company continued to use grenades, it would definitely cause more casualties to the Japanese and puppet troops, the regiment leader also knew that if he continued to persist, the company would probably be stuck by the Japanese and the entire army would be destroyed.
Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita was stunned for a moment, and then responded quickly: "Tuba Road has been repulsed by us, continue to break out! Warriors, as long as we rush out, we will win. Continue to attack forward and kill them all!"
As a result, a scene like this appeared on the battlefield. More than 400 days of puppet troops rushed to the front with overwhelming force.
Behind them, more than a thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers, holding light machine guns and holding rifles, rushed forward crazily, firing while charging, constantly consuming the Japanese and puppet troops several hundred meters in front.
Directly in front of the Japanese and puppet troops, a regiment commander was also retreating with a company that had lost more than half of its troops.
Just as the distance between the company and the Japanese was getting closer and closer, and more and more soldiers were being killed by the Japanese and puppet troops behind them, the scream of a string of artillery shells streaking across the sky suddenly sounded above everyone's heads.
"It's our artillery, comrades, continue to retreat, there is our blocking position in front of you!" A regimental commander shouted loudly with a look of surprise on his face.
A round of nine shells, like rain, continued to explode among the Japanese and puppet troops, causing a bloody storm.
Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita knew that Tubalu, who was ambushing him, had completely set his sights on him. As long as he delayed here for even one more minute, he would probably not be able to rush through and would be completely wiped out here.
Therefore, although the shelling caused heavy casualties to the troops, Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita never issued a concealment order, and then continued to urge the troops to speed up their retreat.
Finally, the remnants of a company broke into a temporary defensive line.
The Japanese and puppet troops behind them also ran into a dense fire net of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns.
"Baga, why is there still a blocking position on Tubal Road!" Lieutenant Colonel Matsushita shouted with a hint of despair on his face, very unwillingly.
"Sir, what should we do next?" The adjutant next to him showed a desperate expression, then stared at Panasonic and asked.
"Attack, continue to attack, provide fire cover, and the troops continue to rush forward!" Panasonic made the decision without thinking about it.
However, the bullets fired towards them were too dense, and the shells kept raining down, giving them no chance to fight back.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get through, and they left corpses everywhere.
As the second regiment caught up, set up artillery and began bombarding, Panasonic was completely desperate.
"We can't break out. Give me the order. The troops can choose the direction to break out. As many people as they can rush out can rush out! Baga!"
