Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Why is it so unbeatable?
He did not immediately answer the battalion commander's request to fight, but stared at him and asked: "Tell me first how you fight!"
"With such fierce artillery fire, coupled with the cover of snipers and heavy machine guns, we will definitely be able to easily enter the Japanese and puppet army garrison, engage in close combat with the Japanese, and finally kill them."
"If we fight with bayonets, the Japanese are too powerful. Even if we kill them, our losses will be huge. So I plan to gather all the cadre soldiers equipped with pistols and all the machine gunners in the battalion to launch an attack."
"The light machine gun is used as a submachine gun, and the first echelon attacks."
"Those with pistols will follow closely, and the second echelon will attack."
"As long as you enter the Japanese and puppet army positions, use your pistols to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops who are determined not to surrender, and quickly end the battle!"
"The riflemen rushed to the end, cleaning up the battlefield while replenishing their rifles for the Japanese and puppet troops who fell on the battlefield, trying to get the troops to rush over and end the battle!"
"Just fight like this!" Captain Zhang was very satisfied with the answer and ordered.
"The first battalion is ready. As soon as the artillery fire begins to spread, I will rush forward and kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in front of me."
The Japanese squadron leader found his way behind a bunker under the cover of several guards and was not injured at all until the bombardment ended. He was very lucky.
"The machine gunners are in position, counterattack immediately, Tubal Road has begun to attack! Kill them!" The squadron leader drew out his command knife, pointed in the direction of the new regiment's attack, and shouted an order.
The Japs react very quickly. As long as they can still move, they quickly get up from the ground and prepare to fight with weapons in hand.
The Imperial Alliance Army was much slower. It had been a long time since the squadron leader issued the order, and he still looked dazed and had not woken up from the shock.
The squadron leader was helpless. In normal times, he would have thought of killing people. But now that he didn't have enough troops and needed them, he could only let them slowly enter the fighting state. Then he frowned and ordered:
"Shoot! Everyone, shoot and kill the rushing Eighth Route Army!"
"Click, click, click... bang, bang, bang..." The six machine guns that had just been set up did not spit out a dense barrage of bullets at the Eighth Route Army as the squadron leader had imagined. Instead, they all misfired after firing a few bullets.
The six machine gunners were either shot in the head or in the chest and fell motionless next to the machine gun.
The assistant shooter next to him immediately took over the machine gun, shifted the position of the machine gun slightly, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and prepared to continue shooting.
The same thing happened to them again.
Just as a few bullets were spit out from the muzzle of the machine gun, as soon as the flame from the muzzle exposed the position of the machine gunner, a bullet penetrated the machine gunner's body.
"It's a sniper! There are snipers on Tubal Road. How is this possible?" The squadron leader suddenly reacted and shouted with a pale face.
However, no matter how shocked he was, no matter who was operating the machine gun, as soon as he fired, bullets would fly over and take his life.
In less than half a minute, no fewer than three bodies fell around each machine gun, and no one dared to approach these machine guns again.
Without machine guns to provide fire cover, a battalion of a dozen machine gunners at the front became arrogant.
More than a dozen tongues of fire intertwined with each other to form an airtight net of bullets, flying back close to the enemy's head.
Many Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers were shot in the head by bullets because they reacted too slowly and fell to the ground. It was a terrible sight.
"Captain, the offensive firepower of Tubal Road is too fierce, and there are snipers targeting our machine guns. The warriors don't even have a chance to raise their heads and shoot!" the deputy captain shouted anxiously.
"All of us, bayonets on, are ready to fight with the Eighth Route Army. Even if the whole army is destroyed, we will severely damage the Eighth Route Army, hold them back, and wait for reinforcements to come and annihilate them!"
When the Japanese rushed out of the position with rifles with bayonets in their hands, trying to stab the Eighth Route Army who was just around the corner to the core.
"Bang bang bang..." The messy and dense gunshots suddenly reached their ears, and then holes appeared in their chests with blood pouring out.
The Eighth Route Army troops rushing in front of him suddenly had pistols in their hands and shot at him.
"It's over! The Eighth Route Army has been ready for a long time. They have no intention of breaking out and running away. They are counterattacking and want to destroy us here!" The pale-faced squadron leader came to his senses completely, his tone full of despair.
But now that I realize it, it's too late.
A machine gunner from the first battalion fired a barrage of bullets, and the squadron leader and deputy captain were beaten directly into a sieve!
"Captain, this battle was fought so swiftly. We killed more than a hundred Japs and more than two hundred puppet troops in this way. Our total casualties were less than one platoon. When did the Japs become so easy to fight!"
Captain Zhang shook his head and replied: "It's not that the Japanese are easy to fight, it's that the guys in our hands are different from what they used to be."
"If we used to have an artillery battery to fight the Japanese, with endless shells and so many light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese would still be easy to fight.
At this moment, Captain Yi suddenly rushed over.
"Captain Zhang, there are Japs coming!"
"An infantry squadron of Japanese troops and two companies of puppet troops are coming towards us! Captain Wang wants you to prepare for battle. Meet these Japanese and puppet troops for a while, and if possible, kill them directly."
"Haha! Another Japs are coming to our door. Commander, please give us an order on how we should fight the next battle!"
"Head to head!" Captain Zhang replied with a heroic look.
"While the Japanese reinforcements don't know that the troops here have been wiped out, they rush back with their men. The machine gunners take the lead, followed closely by those equipped with pistols, and the riflemen last. Let's engage in a contact battle with the Japanese!"
"This is a good idea!" a battalion commander shouted excitedly.
"We have just seized six more machine guns and Mauser pistols equipped by puppet army officers. By then, more than 20 machine guns will be lined up to shoot at the Japanese. Even if the Japanese are strong, they will be killed by us!"
"Captain, if this is the case, this battle will not be an encounter, but a unilateral massacre!" the political commissar said in a rare moment.
"We opened fire suddenly, and our firepower was powerful. The Japanese soldiers still had their guns on their backs. They were caught off guard, and they had no room to fight back!"
"I agree to do this!"
The battle started suddenly and ended very quickly, taking less than five minutes.
The New Regiment only suffered more than 30 casualties and wiped out a squadron that the Japanese rushed over in a hurry. The remaining puppet troops were so frightened that they froze on the battlefield. After the New Regiment rushed over, they didn't even think about resisting and put their guns away.
Throw it to the ground, kneel on the ground and become a prisoner.
The leader of the last squadron of the Japanese was very smart and sent a large number of elites to scout the surrounding area when reinforcements were sent.
After learning that all three squadrons had been wiped out, he led his men directly towards the county seat to escape without saying a word.
