Three signal bombs exploded, and three brilliant white lights burst out over the battlefield, as dazzling as illumination bombs.
On the battlefield, all the Japanese and puppet troops saw this scene, and then they felt a sense of solemnity.
The little devils, in particular, were highly vigilant and quick to react. They originally had a tired expression with no energy at all, but in the blink of an eye, they had rifles in their hands and looked around with a vigilant expression.
However, the surroundings were too quiet and there was no movement.
Just when they lowered their guard again, a series of earth-shaking explosions sounded directly under their feet or in their ears.
Explosions, fireballs, and black smoke occurred simultaneously in dozens of artillery-proof fortifications, and they quickly poured out of the cave entrances like floods bursting from the embankments.
The narrow fortifications allowed explosive charges and mines to exert their power to the maximum. Whether they were squatting or lying down, the Japanese hiding in the fortifications were all frightened to death or directly shaken to death when the explosions went off.
Seriously injured. There are no wounds on the surface, but the internal organs have been shattered~
"What's going on..." The Japanese who were arranged to be on guard duty with the puppet troops outside stared blankly at the explosion in front of them, shocked and at a loss...
It wasn't until the mortar shells exploded around them with a scream and a rain of sound that the Japanese officers finally recovered from the shock.
"Bagheya Road, the enemy is attacking. The Eighth Route Army must be counterattacking the position at our feet... Quick, enter the position, avoid artillery fire, and prepare to fight..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Violent explosions continued to sound in the middle of the position, raising smoke pillars, and then killing the Japanese and puppet soldiers who had not yet reacted!
Entering the opposite defense line, because it was closest to the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese deployed two infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squadron, and a mortar squadron, with nearly 500 people.
But more than 70% of these five hundred little Japs were huddled in the artillery fortifications. They died without even seeing the shadow of the Eighth Route Army's counterattack troops.
Although the more than a hundred Japanese soldiers guarding the position escaped the most deadly explosion, the rain of shells falling from the sky still caused a large number of casualties to them.
21 mortars fired 210 shells at them in one minute, because they were exposed on the surface of the position during the shelling and did not stay in the trenches at all. The flying fragments directly intertwined a death storm around them,
Harvested a lot of lives!
"Comrades, charge with me, retake the position, and kill the little Japs..." When the shelling lasted for just half a minute and the entire defense line was filled with explosions and smoke, Jin Kai, who was holding on for time, decisively issued the assault order.
Four huge attacking squares rushed towards the position like a wave.
"The Eighth Route Army, there is the Eighth Route Army in front of the position, they are charging over despite the artillery bombardment!" a sergeant shouted, with a look of fear on his face.
He was a veteran brought down from the frontal battlefield by Major General Kawaguchi. Even when fighting against the well-equipped Jinsui Army, the imperial army had an absolute advantage in firepower. On the battlefield, the imperial army always overwhelmed its opponents.
The night battle in front of him was completely beyond his understanding.
As soon as the battle began, more than half of the troops disappeared in a series of unexplained explosions, followed by artillery fire.
The shells rained down, which was even more violent than the Imperial Army's artillery fire. If I hadn't reacted quickly and rolled into the trench, I would have been blown to pieces in the explosion just now!
Before he could react to the series of blows, the enemy rushed over at the risk of accidental damage from artillery shells, forcing himself to fight against the shelling.
"Counterattack, counterattack immediately, block the counterattack of the Eighth Route Army..." The squadron leader reacted quickly and roared the order.
"Machine gunner, enter the position immediately, shoot quickly and kill them..."
"Da da da……"
The light and heavy machine guns deployed on the position had not yet fired, but the attacking Eighth Route Army fired first.
The entire battalion had more than 20 light machine guns and more than 20 submachine guns, firing together, and dense bullets flew towards them like a rain of bullets.
"Captain, be careful!" The guard next to him reacted quickly and threw the squadron leader down in the trench, avoiding the bullets flying above his head.
However, the guard did not save his life. Two of the three bullets were drilled into his chest, and one was drilled directly into his head.
"Baghe Road, why haven't the light and heavy machine guns fired yet? Suppress the offensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army and block them... Their firepower is too fierce..." The squadron leader who quickly got up from the trench shouted again.
This time, a nearby machine gun position finally responded.
"Da da da……"
A heavy machine gun and two light machine guns opened fire quickly, and three tongues of flame killed seven or eight Eighth Route Army troops directly in front of them.
"Yes, let's fight like this. Keep shooting and kill their machine gunners first!" the squadron leader commanded with a sigh of relief.
However, just as the tense nerves relaxed, the three machine guns misfired, and the machine gunner fell to the ground motionless.
When Kincaid attacked, due to the influence of shelling and gunpowder smoke, the machine gunners and submachine guns rushing at the front could not see the Japs, so they could only shoot blindly and suppress the Japs through the density of firepower.
But as soon as the Japanese heavy machine gun fired, the flames from the muzzle became their best target in the dark.
On the spot, four or five light machine guns and four or five submachine guns were eyeing the machine gun position.
Bullets flew from different directions, and several machine gunners had no chance to dodge and were killed directly.
"Are there any more machine gunners? Keep going, the machine gun fire cannot stop!" The squadron leader, whose nerves were tense again, ordered hurriedly.
The three Japs were walking along the trench, and as soon as they rushed to the machine gun position and exposed their heads, before their hands even touched the machine gun, the dense bullets fired towards them beat them into pieces...
"Captain, the machine gun position has been blocked by the Eighth Route Army's firepower... Their attacking firepower is too fierce, we can't even get close to the machine gun!" A squad leader shouted with a look of despair.
"Grenade!" The squadron leader reacted suddenly, and hope rekindled on his solemn face.
"During the day, the Eighth Route Army used grenades to block our offensive. Now let's retaliate in kind. Prepare grenades and attack the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops with grenades!"
Seeing the commandos rushing closer and closer with submachine guns and light machine guns, the squadron leader holding a bomb in his hand decisively ordered: "The distance is enough, throw all grenades and kill them..."
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking and took off the grenade with the safety unplugged, a series of dense explosions rang in his ears.
"It's a grenade! If the Eighth Route Army throws grenades at us again on Bageya Road, we should immediately use grenades to fight back!" Although a very bad premonition came into his mind, the squadron leader still pretended to be calm and ordered.
Soon, this bad premonition became a reality!
Because grenades were thrown far away, the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops actually threw the grenades themselves first.
More importantly, he had too few people in his hands. The artillery shells falling from the sky, the bullets flying towards him, and the grenades that were exploding now, directly reduced his men to an infantry squad!
This small force is dispersed to a defense line of one or two hundred meters long and grenades are thrown. Even if the grenades are more powerful than grenades, the effect is very limited.
The Eighth Route Army was different. They threw one or two hundred grenades at a time.
One or two hundred grenades against more than forty grenades, even if both sides suffered the same casualties, their limited troops would not be able to withstand the consumption.
As for the puppet troops who cooperated with us, they had already collapsed.
Even if they didn't collapse, they would hide in the trench and remain motionless, as if the battle around them had nothing to do with them!
