Eight hundred and fortieth chapters tragic victory
Major General Kawaguchi kept staring at the battlefield and saw that the attacking troops were about to rush into the Eighth Route Army fortification group. Although he lost many troops, he still had a smile on his face.
The Eighth Route Army was not a fool, and using these casualties to capture the first line of defense of the fortification group was definitely a gain in Kawaguchi's view.
However, the sudden increase in gunfire on the battlefield caused his mood to change from sunny to gloomy, and his face instantly turned ugly.
"At Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army still has reinforcements. Their reinforcements are coming up..." Major General Kawaguchi shouted subconsciously.
He turned around and ordered: "The attacking troops are definitely no match... Artillery, fire immediately, all artillery fire, cover the Eighth Route Army positions for me!"
Major General Kawaguchi's ruthlessness was seen by everyone along the way, so when faced with this order that even killed one of his own people, none of his subordinates made any sense and immediately executed the order.
Within seconds, the scream of cannonballs streaking across the sky reached their ears.
In the second battalion position, thirty or forty corpses of Japanese and puppet soldiers had fallen on the edge of the defense line. However, in the face of the imminent victory, no Japanese and puppet soldiers wanted to let go.
Moreover, this place is too close to the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army will definitely not allow them to retreat easily. Even if they retreat, they may not be able to make it back alive. Instead of doing this, it is better to continue to rush forward and fight.
Therefore, the remaining Japanese went crazy, stepping on the corpses of their colleagues and rushing forward with all their strength, without any fear at all.
The submachine gun in Xiao Yunshan's hand fired a magazine of bullets in just ten seconds. Before he could replace the submachine gun with a new magazine, a Japanese soldier with a bayonet rushed over from seven or eight meters away, condescending.
Make a thrust, trying to kill Xiao Yunshan.
"Batalion Commander, be careful... bang bang bang..."
The guard a few meters away shouted, raised his pistol and pulled the trigger.
The gunfire rang out, and several bloody holes appeared in the Japanese's chest. He had to stop on the spot just in the middle of his stabbing movement, and then he fell heavily into the trench and landed at the foot of Xiao Yun Mountain.
The frightened Xiao Yunshan quickly changed the magazine, loaded the bullet, and pulled the trigger at the Japs who were rushing toward him more than ten meters away.
"Da da da……"
A string of bullets flew out of the barrel, and the two Japanese soldiers fell down.
But just as there were fewer and fewer Japanese and puppet troops still charging on the battlefield, and seeing that the balance of victory had completely tipped to the Second Battalion, the Japanese bombardment began.
The sudden scream made Xiao Yunshan's face suddenly turn pale.
Soon, a violent explosion rang in his ears, and Xiao Yunshan, who had no time to react, was knocked over by the blast of air and fell into the trench.
"The little devils want us to die together with their attacking troops!" Xiao Yunshan shouted loudly as he quickly got up from the ground.
"Kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops immediately and retreat to the nearest artillery defense fortification. Immediately..."
Xiao Yunshan took advantage of the gap between shelling, stared at the last two Japanese soldiers within his field of vision, and pulled the trigger fiercely. He fired more than a dozen bullets at them, then put away his submachine gun and retreated to the anti-artillery fortifications.
Not long after we were removed, the instructor walked over with his head lowered and his face solemn.
"Battal Commander, we have a company and nearly 250 troops directly under the battalion headquarters. The battle that took less than 20 minutes just now resulted in nearly 150 casualties. Most of them were direct sacrifices, and there were many others.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers are still on the battlefield and have not been retrieved!"
Xiao Yunshan was frightened. Although he knew that the troops suffered heavy casualties, he did not expect that the casualties would be so heavy, and his entire company was wiped out.
However, the constant sound of exploding artillery overhead made him quickly regain his composure: "With the battalion headquarters and logistics personnel, how many of us can continue to fight!"
"Including the two of us, there are 98 people, including many slightly injured!"
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Xiao Yunshan knew it was the group leader without even thinking.
As soon as I put the microphone to my ear, Wang Ping's voice came from inside.
"Xiao Yunshan, you fought well just now. You directly killed an infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops. Now, how many men do you have left to continue fighting?"
Wang Ping's affirmation was the greatest encouragement to him. The heavy expression on Xiao Yunshan's face was immediately wiped away, and he gritted his teeth and replied: "Report to the leader, plus me and the instructor, there are 98 people who can continue to fight!"
"Then let's fight the Japanese again!" The leader's firm voice immediately came from the microphone.
"Gather all the remaining grenades and grenades in your hand and use them. In the battle for a while, heavy machine guns will not be used. Only light machine guns, submachine guns, and grenades and grenades will be used. Everyone is on board. If the enemy enters the grenade killing range, give it to me.
Throw them all out, then shoot them with light machine guns and submachine guns, forcing the Japanese to continue charging forward."
"After throwing the grenades," quickly retreat along the communication trench and abandon the first line of defense. At that time, I will order the artillery to provide you with artillery cover and buy you one minute to retreat!"
Xiao Yunshan's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
If we continue to play the way we just did, if we have less than a hundred people in hand, we will definitely finish the game in less than ten minutes. Fortunately, the leader did not intend to let himself and the little devil fight head-on, and immediately replied: "Please don't worry, leader."
, guaranteed to complete the task!”
Major General Kawaguchi was so angry that an entire infantry squadron was wiped out, although it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the entire brigade. However, for him, the battle that just ended was a slap in the face. The Eighth Route Army used its strength to beat him hard.
A slap in the face made me lose my contempt for the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, this time, with the participation of artillery, infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and mortars, the Japanese fought for nearly ten minutes before stopping.
Soon, a new round of Japanese attacks began.
In order to strengthen the firepower of the attacking troops, Major General Kawaguchi doubled the number of light machine guns and grenade launchers for the attacking troops.
In this case, if they encounter a close-quarters battle like the previous attack, the attacking troops can use light machine guns to defeat the Eighth Route Army's firepower advantage...
However, Major General Kawaguchi did not expect that this time, the Eighth Route Army on the position had no intention of confronting them head-on.
It wasn't until the Japanese bent down and reached sixty or seventy meters in front of the formation with a cautious look on their faces that more than sixty soldiers, holding grenades in their hands and grenades hanging on their waists, rushed out of the artillery defense fortifications and entered the trenches that had been bombed everywhere.
Expand.
However, no one showed any intention to fight back.
"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They either ran away, or they planned to repeat their old tricks with grenades and grenades to kill us!" the Japanese squadron leader frowned and judged.
"The troops should be dispersed as much as possible to reduce the damage caused by grenades to us...Speed up the attack speed, quickly break through the grenade interception, get in front of the Eighth Route Army, engage them in hand-to-hand combat, and kill them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large black grenade with white smoke flew out of the position where there had been no movement just now, and the familiar sound of gunfire also came.
"Machine gun cover, rush over, break through the Eighth Route Army's grenade interception, and engage them hand-to-hand!" The squadron leader did not panic and ordered decisively.
