"Captain, the Japs are coming. A forward infantry squadron has been deployed and seems to be preparing to launch an attack on our forward position!" Zhong Chenggong reported while holding up his binoculars, and then continued with a touch of worry.
"There is only one company from the Second Battalion in the forward position. The Japs' forward squadron has mortars and heavy machine guns. If we hold on to it, the strength gap will be too great. Commander, I suggest you contact the Fourth Company and retreat after a quick attack!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "No, they must either kill a squadron of Japs or defend the position for an hour, otherwise they must not give up the forward position!"
"Impossible, holding on to the forward position will simply let them die! Captain, you have to think twice!" Zhong Chenggong was frightened by Wang Ping's answer and quickly reminded him.
Wang Ping answered confidently: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, our forward position is not as simple as you think. Otherwise, the engineer platoon and nearly a thousand prisoners of war will have been busy in the past ten days. Moreover, the Japanese forward squadron is only conducting an exploratory attack now."
, don’t worry too much!”
Then he ordered the guard behind him: "Contact me the commander of the fourth company, I want to talk to him on the phone!"
Major Miyamoto is the captain of the Japanese forward squadron. As a confidant of Major General Kawaguchi, he was promised before the expedition that as long as he can achieve one or two military exploits in this operation and prove his strength to everyone, after this battle is over, he will
Will become a captain in the mixed brigade.
Facing the Eighth Route Army's forward position in front of him, Major Miyamoto's first thought was to win the first victory in this battle.
"The first team is ready for battle and will conduct a tentative attack on the forward position of the Eighth Route Army... The others will cover it. If there are not many Eighth Route Army troops on the position, they will be ready to pounce at any time and take the position!" Looking at the road a few hundred meters away,
Major Miyamoto ordered with his eyes shining at the blocking position built on the small high ground.
A small group of Japanese veterans lined up in a skirmish line, bent over, holding rifles, and moved toward the position with great vigilance.
One hundred meters, there is no movement on the position, eighty meters, there is no movement...
The Japanese's vigilance gradually weakened.
In the last fifty meters, all the Japanese soldiers took out grenades and slowly straightened their bent waists, preparing for the final sprint when gunfire rang out.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
Two light machine guns and more than a hundred rifles suddenly opened fire. Even though the Japs fifty meters away were all veterans, they were caught off guard and still killed and wounded more than a dozen people.
"Machine gun fire, continue the attack!" Facing the position so close, the Japanese team leader did not choose to give up.
"There is only one company of Chinese soldiers on the position, and there are only two light machine guns and no heavy machine guns. We will definitely be able to kill them! We will be covered by the machine guns and kill them!" the Japanese second lieutenant squad leader waved his command knife and shouted loudly.
A Japanese infantry squad equipped with three light machine guns quickly suppressed the two machine guns that were firing on the position.
"Attack... rush to the high ground and kill them... kill them all..." The squad leader seized the opportunity and ordered decisively.
More than thirty riflemen, holding rifles in one hand and grenades in the other, jumped up and rushed to the high ground!
As long as they rush forward more than ten meters, they can throw the grenade.
"Baga, grenades, everyone take cover!" As soon as a smile flashed across the face of the Japanese squad leader, a large black rain of grenades flew over from the Eighth Route Army's forward position.
Being condescending, everyone, including myself, is within the killing range of these grenades.
The squad leader's face turned pale, and then he lay down on the ground subconsciously, holding his head, waiting for the rain of grenades to end.
"Rumble..."
In less than three seconds, the explosion sounded in my ears, deafening.
Soon, a look of despair appeared on the pale face of the second lieutenant.
A round of grenade rain lasted ten seconds at most and ended. However, after lying on the ground for ten seconds, the explosion not only did not stop, but intensified.
Before he could understand, a grenade with white smoke hit his ear. The team leader could even hear the impact of the grenade hitting the ground.
The squad leader was about to roll over to avoid the grenade, but before he could do anything, a violent explosion rang in his ears, and then he lost consciousness!
You know, the equipment Wang Ping brought back from the war zone included 20,000 Jin-made hand grenades, which were powerful and had a long throwing distance. Although Wang Ping had decided to hand over those weapons and ammunition to the military zone, Wang Ping could not get a single grenade suitable for close combat.
Not planning to hand it over.
In addition to the 50,000 to 60,000 grenades seized from the Japanese troops and more than 20,000 Northeastern grenades, Wang Ping had a total of 100,000 grenades and grenades.
In order to fight the current battle well, make full use of the three-dimensional defense fortification group and achieve maximum results with minimum casualties, Wang Ping took out 30,000 grenades and hand grenades at once to deal with the Japs' attack.
Although the forward position only had four companies and one company, Wang Ping equipped each rifleman with five grenades and five hand grenades!
Seeing that less than ten Japanese soldiers left the battlefield in embarrassment, the Eighth Route Army soldiers on the position began to cheer out of excitement.
Some riflemen seemed to have not gotten over their anger yet, and whenever they had the opportunity, they shot several Japanese soldiers in the back, regardless of whether they could hit the target.
"Don't be too happy too early. This is just a tentative attack by the Japs. Quick, everyone moves back twenty meters along the traffic trench. The Japs will definitely fire in retaliation on us!" the company commander who received Wang Ping's call a few minutes ago immediately asked.
road.
"Company Commander, was it the regimental commander's arrangement that you only asked us to use two machine guns just now?" the instructor seized the opportunity and asked.
The company commander immediately replied: "Yes! The regiment leader asked us to show weakness so that we can use the forward position to eliminate more Japs. The regiment commander said that as long as we show weakness, the Japs who will attack us will never exceed one squadron.
No, we can still hit them hard!"
Before the exploratory attack was over, Major Miyamoto became furious.
"Bagya Road and Tubal Road are too cunning. They are equipped with so many grenades. The first team is definitely doomed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Major Miyamoto saw that only seven or eight soldiers from the first team fled back in embarrassment. On the way back, two people were beaten to death.
Major Miyamoto's face suddenly became gloomy. A murderous look flashed across his face and then he ordered with a stern face: "The artillery fires and shoots down all the shells they brought. I will destroy the Eighth Route Army positions on the high ground."
For level ground!”
"Other troops are ready for battle. After the bombardment, heavy machine guns provide cover. The second team attacks from the front, the third team attacks from the left on the high ground, and the others attack from the right on the high ground. The Eighth Route Army only has two machine guns in one company, and we attack from three directions together.
Keep them from looking at each other, kill them with one attack, and capture the high ground!"
As soon as the Fourth Company withdrew from their position, an explosion sounded behind them.
The violent explosion lasted for five minutes before it ended.
"Quick, enter the position immediately, bring all the equipment, grenades and hand grenades. The next battle will definitely be a tough battle!" the fourth company commander ordered decisively, and then was the first to rush to the high ground that was still filled with smoke.
"The Japanese have already rushed a hundred meters away, company commander!" the instructor following him reminded.
"This time it's a strong attack. There are Japs in three directions, one team in each direction. They want to kill us in one attack!"
The fourth company commander sneered and replied: "We'll see later if the little devil has such good teeth!"
