There were a total of four trenches in front of the Japanese. The Japanese did not know which trench the new regiment would attack from, so they could only distribute their limited troops evenly.
Suddenly, there was movement in a trench directly ahead.
Dozens of wooden-handled grenades flew out, and then flew over like a position not far away.
The squadron leader's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "The Eighth Route Army's main attack direction is here. Immediately transfer troops from other directions and concentrate our forces to defend here!"
At the same time, the Japanese team leader on the position also issued an order to avoid the grenades.
He lay down on the ground behind the bunker and held his head.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Soon, explosions sounded in the Japanese positions.
Although the grenades were thrown farther than grenades, only a small part of the grenades hit the Japanese and puppet positions.
However, the number of grenades thrown by the Second Company was huge. After ten rounds of grenades, nearly a hundred grenades still hit the Japanese and puppet positions.
"Start the attack... Comrades, charge with me..." Before the explosion of grenades could be heard on the Japanese position, Xiong Changhe, holding a machine gun in his arms, rushed out of the trench first.
The machine gunners and guards nearby became anxious and immediately chased after him.
A total of thirteen light machine guns were held in the arms of the machine gunner, who fired while charging. The whizzing bullets intertwined with each other and flew towards the Japanese and puppet army positions like rain.
Many Japanese and puppet soldiers who were still in a state of confusion had just a look of joy on their faces when bullets beat them into pieces.
"Baga, the Tubal Army has begun to attack. Those who are alive should stand up immediately, fight back, and block the Eighth Route Army's attack!" The squad leader was the first to wake up.
However, there are not many living subordinates around him anymore.
Especially the Japs, there are fewer of them.
As for the puppet troops, their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the Japanese. Although the squad leader's curses have reached their ears, they are still in a state of being bombed and it is impossible to participate in the battle in a short time.
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers finally reacted, and when they subconsciously wanted to counterattack, the bullets fired in succession had already intertwined into an airtight bullet net above their heads, flying back tightly against the edge of the trench, crushing them
They didn't even have a chance to raise their heads.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army's offensive firepower is too fierce!" A sergeant was just about to raise his head when a bullet flying over his head drilled a hole in his hat, and then he smelled the smell of burning hair.
The bullet almost hit him between the eyebrows instead of his hair. He subconsciously retracted his head, with a look of horror on his face, and shouted loudly.
"Grenade, throw the grenade immediately to stop the Eighth Route Army!" The squad leader immediately changed the order.
He took out a grenade, pulled the ring, hit it on the bunker, and then threw it out when it was used up.
The grenade exploded, and the bullets flying overhead did not decrease at all.
"How could this happen? The grenade has no effect!" the squad leader shouted with a puzzled look on his face.
Soon, the screams of his subordinates told him the answer: "Bagya Road, they have already rushed over, and the grenades have been thrown behind them."
The thick gunpowder smoke surrounding the Japanese had faded considerably by now, and the squad leader finally saw the blurry silhouette of the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops more than ten meters away.
"Everyone put on bayonets, fight hand to hand, and hold them back. Reinforcements are coming!" The squad leader didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to kill them so quickly, without even giving themselves time to arrange a counterattack. After being shocked, he ordered loudly.
The Japanese did not expect that Wang Ping not only did not intend to give them a chance to counterattack, but also did not intend to give them a chance to fight with a bayonet.
Five meters away, when the machine gunner was still five meters away from them, a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed out of the bunker like tigers with bayonets attached, ready to stab the nearby machine gunner to death with their bayonets.
But just as their bodies emerged from behind the bunker, the harsh sound of machine gun fire reached their ears.
Almost a machine gun was fired at a Japs. In less than two seconds, all the dozen or so Japs were beaten into sieves!
"Comrades, enter the Japanese position and continue the attack!" After quickly replacing a new magazine on the machine gun, Xiong Changhe crossed the Japanese and puppet bunkers in one step and continued to rush forward.
The first reaction of the seventy or eighty Japanese soldiers who rushed over for reinforcements was to fight with their bayonets and use their own melee combat skills to drive the enemy out of their positions.
However, when they and Yilian fought together, they tragically discovered that the Eighth Route Army did not give us a chance to fight with bayonets.
The Eighth Route Army, each armed with a pistol or a light machine gun, would draw fire and fire bullets at them when they saw them.
In just one meeting, more than eighty Japanese soldiers lost their companions.
The Japanese who finally reacted were also ready to fight back with rifles and bullets. However, in short-range battles, the reaction speed of the rifles in their hands was too slow. Often, the opponent had already raised their pistols and shot at them several times before they even aimed at the opponent.
Shoot bullets.
"BaGeYaLu, our opponents are too cunning. They focus on using pistols in hand-to-hand combat. No matter how powerful the warriors are with bayonets, they cannot be our opponents!" the Japanese squadron leader scolded with a sullen face, feeling very bad.
"Captain, do you want to join another team~" the vice-captain reminded.
"It's too late, the troops on the battlefield are gone. The Eighth Route Army has pistols and machine guns. In close combat, we have no advantage at all! Sending troops there now is just adding fuel and jealousy. Not only does it have no effect, but it also loses troops in vain," the squadron leader said.
He shook his head and answered.
Then he continued to order: "Shrink the defense immediately. We will hold on to the second line of defense. Reinforcements will arrive in one hour. It is still possible to use the second line of defense to delay the Eighth Route Army for another hour. As long as the reinforcements arrive
, the Eighth Route Army outside is finished."
When Xiong Changhe rushed to Wang Ping with a light machine gun in his arms, his face was still stained with the blood of the Japanese.
However, the whole person was very excited. As soon as he saw Wang Ping, he shouted: "Captain, it's so exciting. The arrogant Japanese are just massacred in front of us. A single bullet will kill at least three or four Japanese. It's amazing."
It’s so cool!”
"Except for a dozen or so of the troops deployed by the Japanese on the outer defense line, they were quick to see the opportunity and fled back. The rest were all killed!"
"Two companies of puppet soldiers were also killed in the chaos, but they still captured more than a hundred people. These people were frightened by us. As soon as we killed them, they raised their hands and surrendered without even saying a word.
call!"
Wang Ping suddenly interrupted: "There are casualties. How big are the troop casualties? You know, there is a second line of defense in the stronghold. There are still seventy or eighty Japanese and a company of puppet troops that have not been eliminated."
The excitement on Xiong Changhe's face suddenly disappeared.
"The Japanese were too ruthless. They couldn't defeat our pistols and machine guns with bayonets, so they used grenades to kill us together."
"Many soldiers were killed by Japanese grenades."
"Eighteen of the entire company died, and eight more were injured and unable to participate in the rest of the battle!"
"That is to say, your company now only has more than twenty people left!" Wang Ping asked with a frown.
In hand-to-hand combat, the advantage of using a pistol against a Japanese bayonet is absolute. Even if there are casualties, in Wang Ping's opinion, there will not be many. And the series of casualties in front of him obviously exceeded Wang Ping's expectation.
