The Japanese captain has been paying attention to the battlefield since the beginning of the shelling.
Full of confidence, he suddenly saw a large black mass of grenades and hand grenades being thrown from the Tubal Road position, and a look of too much belief appeared on his face.
Then he shouted with a look of shock: "Baga, why are there so many Tubal Roads on the position? Are all the shells we just fired in vain?"
At this moment, two guns with crooked handles were fired.
The seven grenadier soldiers who were not affected by the rain of grenades were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest and died under his own eyes.
The riflemen and machine gunners in the attacking force were all shrouded in the explosion, and their life or death was uncertain. The grenade was useless at this time. This meant that the attacking force could only be passively beaten by a series of means on Tubal Road.
No chance to fight back!
How could the heroic and invincible imperial army be so frustrated? The captain with red eyes immediately ordered: "The artillery fires immediately and covers the attacking troops to retreat. We were too careless. We attacked rashly without the artillery bombardment having the effect!"
"
"Also, notify the infantry artillery team to set up artillery immediately. As soon as the offensive troops withdraw, they will start to raze Tubal Road's blocking position to the ground. We all underestimated this group of Tubal Road!"
Soon, a group of three mortar shells hit the position and exploded. Several soldiers who were not prepared for me were directly blown away by one of the consumed shells. When they fell from the sky, four
The soldiers had turned into four bloody corpses, which was extremely miserable!
By this time, the second platoon had already fired three rounds of grenades at the Japanese group, and the front of the position was filled with smoke and dust.
Such a violent explosion must have caused heavy losses to the Japs. Of course, there must have been fish that slipped through the net and there were still Japs alive in front of the position.
If two more rounds of grenades were thrown, the remaining Japanese would definitely be killed.
But after seeing that his troops had begun to suffer casualties, Wang Ping made a decisive decision to let these Japs go, and then ordered his men to hide in bomb-proof caves to avoid the shells.
In Wang Ping's eyes, the lives of his subordinates are much more precious than those of the Japanese. Apart from necessary actual combat training, Wang Ping will definitely not let his subordinates fight the Japanese until it is absolutely necessary!
In the end, out of the nearly sixty Japanese, only thirteen returned alive. Like a lost dog, they rolled and crawled and retreated in a very embarrassed manner.
"Baga, an elite infantry team is just gone. Cunning Tubal Road, I will tear your corpses into thousands of pieces! Order the infantry artillery team to fire immediately and raze the Tubal Road blocking position to the ground!" The captain directly turned into a head.
The angry lion cursed loudly!
The screams of mortars and infantry artillery shells streaking across the sky are obviously different, because the infantry artillery has a faster initial speed and the screams of shells breaking through the sky are more harsh.
Although Wang Ping heard this sound for the first time, he still judged at a glance that the Japanese infantry artillery was firing.
A simple anti-aircraft hole made by covering the door panel with soil above the head can withstand mortar shells, but it certainly cannot withstand infantry artillery shells. Not only the anti-artillery hole cannot withstand it, but also the trenches below.
Wang Ping's face instantly became heavy, and then he ordered: "The Japanese infantry artillery has fired, and the anti-gun holes are not safe. Everyone retreats along the traffic trench, and hurry up!"
The blocking position was not long, and the infantry artillery was very powerful. Although Wang Ping issued the retreat order promptly, there were still seven or eight soldiers who did not withdraw in the end.
The second platoon was full of more than 40 people and only about 30 people were still intact after being beaten.
With a heartbroken look on his face, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of an elite Japs, their combat effectiveness is strong. Tell comrades, be careful in the next battle!"
Infantry artillery is more powerful than mortars, but it also has the disadvantage of slow rate of fire.
Three full minutes passed before the two cannons fired twenty shells.
But it was enough. After twenty rounds of artillery shells, the small position had been blown up into dust. Wang Ping could vaguely see that the short trenches on the position had been bombed with gaps everywhere. He could tell at a glance.
unusable!
At this time, the second platoon leader suddenly reminded: "Company commander, the Japanese artillery fire has stopped. They are about to attack. Do you want to go to the position?"
Wang Ping immediately shook his head and said in denial: "The position can no longer be used. The Japanese grenades and mortars are still aimed at it. If you go up, you will die. Let the comrades continue to retreat to the back. The position is no longer needed. We have eliminated more than forty Japanese. We have already
That’s enough. One bite won’t make you fat, let’s fight slowly!”
Although there were only a dozen Eighth Route Army corpses on the position, because they were all wearing military uniforms and equipped with imperial-made 38 caps, they could tell at a glance that they were the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the captain who took the position was very happy and immediately
He forgot about the loss just now, and became even more sure that he was chasing the main force of Tubal Road.
So, with a fierce look on his face, he immediately ordered his troops to redouble their efforts and take Luojiawan in one go.
The squad leader, who was praised by the captain, said nothing and immediately led his troops towards Luojiawan.
But not long after, the second blocking position of the guard company came into his sight.
"Captain, do you want to wait for the artillery to come up before attacking?" a sergeant under his command reminded him very kindly.
But the squad leader, who was dazzled by the victory, did not accept it. Instead, he cursed arrogantly: "Baga, are you intimidated by Tubal Road? Such a small position needs artillery support, so what do we infantry do? Besides,
We don’t have cannons, but we have three grenade launchers and three machine guns. Our firepower is definitely more than that of Tubal Road. With such a huge advantage, what do you have to worry about?”
Then he glared hard at the sergeant and ordered arrogantly: "Warriors, cover with grenades and machine guns, start attacking, capture the Tubal Road position, and kill them all!"
Although he was arrogant, the team leader did not forget the previous lesson.
As soon as the attack started, the three grenade launchers kept firing grenades at the second line of defense defended by three rows, and the three crooked guns also fired continuously, covering the defense line under whizzing bullets.
Then came the infantry attack. More than thirty Japanese soldiers rushed to the position with rifles and roaring, and from time to time they shot one or two bullets into the position.
The second line of defense was defended by the third platoon. Wang Ping, who was worried, stayed behind. After all, this was the first time that the second platoon faced a strong enemy on the battlefield since its establishment!
