After the familiar sound of rifle shooting rang out from the front line of the bunker, the soldiers at the front, even if they formed a loose 3-3 offensive formation, suffered more than a dozen casualties in this short burst of gunfire, which shows how good the Japs' marksmanship is.
.
"We've been fooled, let's take cover!" Jin Kai, who was also frightened, immediately ordered, then he lay down on the ground, picked up his rifle and started shooting at the Japanese.
The 10th Company had the advantage in firepower, but there was no bunker for everyone to hide. The Japanese had bunkers and their marksmanship was good. For a while, the two sides were evenly matched.
Bullets were coming back and forth, constantly flying over the trenches and hitting the opponents.
"We can't keep shooting at each other like this. Our firepower advantage can't be used at all. If we keep fighting like this, even if we break into the Japanese stronghold, we will suffer heavy losses." Listening to the screams that kept ringing in his ears, Jin Kai frowned and shouted.
road.
Wang Ping, who was behind, was also frowning. He didn't expect that the Japanese would follow his lead and push the puppet troops to their death. He would hide behind and launch a surprise attack, trying to weaken his own firepower advantage as much as possible.
However, despite being shocked, Wang Ping was not worried at all.
Subconsciously, I planned to order the attacking troops to retreat, and then use thunder cannons to deal a devastating blow to the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.
Just then, an accident happened!
A few white flags made of white shirts suddenly stretched out from the trench only ten or twenty meters away from Kincaid!
"Company Commander, the Japs in the trenches are about to surrender. We can hide in the trenches and shoot at the Japs to kill them!" suggested the platoon leader lying next to Jin Kai.
Jin Kai did not speak, but frowned and mentally analyzed the risks involved.
When he and the Japanese were in a stalemate, the puppet army in the middle suddenly surrendered. Is this true or a trap? No one knows.
Finally, Kincaid gritted his teeth and decided: "Everyone, get into the trenches!"
In his opinion, since he was so close to the trench, a grenade thrown at him could bring a devastating blow to the puppet troops hiding in the trench. In this case, there was no need for the puppet troops hiding in the trench to deceive themselves, unless
They already entertained the idea of being blown to pieces by grenades.
However, this is obviously impossible.
Because it is well known that the puppet soldiers are timid and afraid of death. Even if the puppet soldiers standing in front of them are hardcore traitors, their fear of death will not change.
What Jin Kai didn't know was that the remaining puppet troops in the trenches were now in dire straits. Unless they wanted to all die here, they had no choice but to surrender to the Eighth Route Army, even though the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops and the Japanese in the stronghold were fighting inextricably.
, the winner has not been determined yet.
A company of hundreds of puppet troops and one or two hundred grenades came to kill and injure a platoon. This was the result of everyone lying in the trench.
Even if the defenders of the stronghold repulse the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army, which resumes its offensive, will continue to greet the trenches with grenades as before.
At that time, as long as the Eighth Route Army launches two more such attacks, the entire company will be finished.
Rather than waiting for death here, it is better to take a gamble and maybe there is still hope of survival.
As soon as I jumped into the trench, I saw dozens of puppet soldiers kneeling on the ground, their rifles and bullet bags all thrown aside.
Jin Kai was completely relieved, and then he ordered with excitement on his face: "Set up the machine gun immediately, shoot immediately, and suppress the little Japs on the opposite side!"
"The others are ready to continue the attack!"
"Click, click, click... As soon as a total of eight light machine guns fired, several screams came from behind the bunker dozens of meters away.
Several Japs were caught off guard and were killed. The remaining Japs, facing the airtight bullet net above their heads, could only lower their heads, hide behind the bunker, and let the bullets fly backwards against the bunker.
Wang Ping's reaction was also very quick. He had just ordered the thunder cannons to be ready to fire and fire as soon as the 10th Company retreated. Jin Kai actually led his men to occupy the trenches and used the trenches as a basis to engage in exchanges of fire with the Japanese in the stronghold.
"Firepower company, thunder artillery platoon, move forward immediately, go into the trenches, and reinforce the 10th company!"
After more and more Eighth Route Army troops entered the trenches, and heavy machine guns were already mounted on the trenches to shoot at themselves, the team leader behind the bunker knew that he could not withstand it anymore.
Even if they all died here, it would be meaningless.
"BaGeYa Road, the Imperial Alliance Army is so vulnerable that they dare to betray the Imperial Army. When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill them all!" the angry squad leader cursed loudly.
Then he ordered: "Retreat, return to the stronghold and defend!"
"Fight close combat with the Eighth Route Army, wait for them to come in, and kill them with bayonets! Bagh Ya Road!"
A small group of Japanese soldiers abandoned twenty or thirty corpses and retreated to their stronghold in a very embarrassed state, like a bereaved dog.
Wang Ping decisively ordered: "Tell Jin Kai not to rush forward!"
"The Japs want to fight him in a street fight. If we charge forward now, even if we win, the troops will suffer heavy losses. It's not cost-effective! Arrange the thunder cannons and use explosive packs to kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold!" The Japs are still in the stronghold.
I imagined stabbing my opponent to death with a bayonet and waiting for the Eighth Route Army to rush into the stronghold and die.
Three huge explosive packets were thrown out of the barrel made of gasoline barrels in a series of dull explosions, and then flew towards the stronghold at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What is that?" With the help of the flames of the battlefield, several Japanese soldiers discovered that explosives were falling on their heads and getting bigger and bigger.
"Boom..." Three deafening loud noises answered his question, and then his whole body was blown away in the fire a few meters away, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Within the killing range of the explosive pack, whether they are puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers, they will either die or be injured.
Before the living Japanese and puppet troops could react from the shock, the second round of three explosive packets appeared above their heads again...
After nine explosive packets exploded one after another, the 10th Company began the attack.
At the Second Battalion of Linfen North New Regiment, battalion commander Xiao Yunshan and instructor Wu Yanrong were anxiously waiting for news.
I don’t know how long it took, but Li Wen finally came back out of breath.
"Battle Commander Xiao, the Japs have already moved out!"
"As soon as the Japanese got the news that we were here, they started to assemble troops. Two infantry squadrons, a mortar squad, an infantry artillery squad, two heavy machine gun squads, and a puppet battalion, a total of more than 800 people
, we have set off now, we can get here in five hours!"
"In such a hurry, don't they plan to wait until dawn before setting off?" Wu Yanrong frowned and said with a very ugly look on his face.
Although the battalion commander Xiao Yunshan was full of confidence in the upcoming battle and had convinced himself to fight this battle. However, the worry in his heart still existed, especially after hearing that the Japanese were in such a hurry and that the entire army was dispatched as soon as they came up, he became even more nervous.
.
"The Japs are worried that we will slip away from them again!" Xiao Yunshan pointedly stated the reason why the Japs were so anxious.
Then he continued to add: "As for it being night, the devil is smarter than us, he will be fine long ago!"
"There are still four hours until dawn, and it will take five hours for the Japanese to fight all the way. By the time they reach our station, it will be dawn already. That's why the Japanese dare to move out at this time!"
