Eight hundred and seventieth chapters we were surrounded
"Boom boom boom..."
Twelve mortars were controlled by little devils, and they fired as soon as they fired.
Cannonballs hit a group of positions as if they cost nothing.
In less than half a minute, a group of garrisoned highlands was enveloped in thick smoke, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
Even so, the shelling continued.
It took a full ten minutes, after many parts of the trenches that had been painstakingly dug were blown down, before the bombardment stopped.
At this time, twelve heavy machine guns had been waved and moved to a position less than a hundred meters away from the position.
As soon as the shelling stopped, intensive machine gun fire sounded on the battlefield. The little Japanese who used the shelling to reach a position sixty or seventy meters in front of the formation rushed to the high ground with a desperate attitude as soon as he got up from the ground.
"Da da da..." The light and heavy machine guns on the position also fired.
Although they had three fewer guns than the Japanese, they were protected by qualified machine gun positions. When they fired at each other, the two sides were so indistinguishable that they could not tell the winner in a short time.
The Japanese heavy machine guns were suppressed, and the light machine gunners and riflemen on the position immediately fired in an attempt to block the Japanese and puppet troops' attack.
The Japanese artillery reacted very quickly. Unexpectedly, there were so many Eighth Route Army troops on the position, and they had such powerful firepower. They quickly fired artillery to suppress them, hoping to kill the heavy machine gun fire points on the position.
"The artillery battery immediately opened fire, aiming at the Japanese and puppet attacking troops. It fired five rounds rapidly to blow them away for me. At the same time, it attracted the firepower of the little devil's artillery to me. As soon as the shelling was over, it moved to the reserve position!"
, the regiment leader who had been staring at the battlefield ordered decisively.
"Tong Tong Tong... boom boom boom..."
Soon, an explosion sounded in the middle of the Japanese and puppet attacking troops.
"On Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army blocking us also has mortars. The artillery squadron will counterattack immediately and kill them. Otherwise, the losses of the attacking troops will be too great!" The Japanese captain reacted quickly and ordered with a frown.
Ten minutes later, the attacking Japanese and puppet troops retreated.
The battlefield, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became quiet.
As soon as the chief of staff walked up to the regimental commander, he shouted happily: "Captain, the weapons are good for fighting. We repelled the puppet army's attack in the past three hundred days in ten minutes, and killed nearly two hundred of them. I
Lao Zhang has been fighting Japanese for so long, and he has never felt so good!"
The leader immediately reminded: "Don't be proud..."
"Commander, they need half an hour to move into place. There are still more than ten minutes left. The Japanese will definitely attack again. Maybe this time they will use mountain artillery and infantry artillery. Let the troops pay attention to concealment and protect themselves.
Be prepared for the Japs’ artillery attack!”
"Woooooooo..."
As soon as they finished speaking, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky sounded above their heads.
"No, it's the mountain cannon... The little devil really used the mountain cannon!" The regimental leader's face turned around and he shouted subconsciously.
"Boom boom boom~"
An explosion sounded in the position, and a total of six fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke rose into the sky and appeared on the position.
The regiment leader quickly raised his telescope and looked at the battlefield.
The impact points of the bombs that were still smoking were, without exception, a huge crater with a depth of one meter. One of the craters happened to be right on the edge of the trench. It collapsed the trench and the corpses of three or four soldiers fell on it.
It was particularly tragic on the edge of the crater.
Fortunately, because the Japanese were in a hurry, the bombardment ended after only five minutes!
A squadron of Japs and a company of puppet troops then resumed the attack under the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars.
On a high ground less than two kilometers away from the battlefield, Commander Chen directly set up his headquarters here, overlooking the entire battlefield from a high position.
"Chief of Staff, are all the troops in place?" Commander Chen asked anxiously.
"The third battalion of the new first regiment is in place and can launch an attack at any time. It will take five minutes for the third battalion of the second regiment to be in place. The other troops are already in place and ready to attack. As expected, they only want to break through the first regiment's defense line.
The little devil doesn’t even know he’s surrounded!”
"That's the best!" Commander Chen affirmed!
"Launching a sudden attack and catching the little Japs by surprise will definitely cause the Japs to fall into chaos in a short period of time. This has only advantages and no disadvantages for us. And we strive to take advantage of this short-term chaos to compress the little Japs' space for activities as much as possible.
.Especially the mountain artillery position arranged by the Japanese army at the end of the team. Try to occupy it when attacking, so as not to be blown up by the little Japanese who jump over the wall in a hurry!"
"Then I will immediately give an order to the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment. One of their battalions can defeat half of our regiment. They have strong firepower and heavy weapons. They can definitely do it!" The chief of staff reacted quickly and answered immediately.
Just as he was about to leave, Commander Chen ordered: "By the way, send a telegram to other troops: "In five minutes, all participating troops will launch an attack at the same time!"
“Rumble… da da da…”
The sound of gunfire on the frontal battlefield continued, and the Japanese army's second attack had already started five minutes ago. Just like the previous attack, after rushing to a position of 40 to 50 meters, there was no way to move forward.
No matter how hard they tried, even if they advanced with the bodies of dead soldiers, they failed.
The anxious Japanese captain suddenly thought of the ruthless tactics used by the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, on the battlefield.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Concentrate all mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery, and conduct concentrated fire attacks on the Eighth Route Army positions for five minutes, and then continue the attack!"
"Hi~" The adjutant saw the captain's thoughts at a glance, and then rushed out to carry out the order.
"Da da da……"
After taking a few steps, intensive gunshots were heard from both sides and behind the troops.
"Sir, a large number of Eighth Route Army offensive troops appeared on the left wing of the army. They have strong firepower. At least two battalions are coming towards here!"
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army is coming from the right wing of the army!"
"A large number of Eighth Route Army troops also appeared in the rear guard. Their firepower is too strong. The rear guard is all baggage troops and artillery. They are no match at all..."
"Bageya Road, this is a conspiracy. We are surrounded by reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army. They want to kill us!" The shocked captain quickly reacted.
Before he could give an order to counterattack, another second lieutenant rushed over: "Sir, the rear guard baggage and mountain artillery positions are lost, and the Eighth Route Army is coming here!"
"It's over..." The captain's face turned pale in shock. These two words suddenly came to his mind, and then he blurted out.
The troops have been attacking for so long and must have used up a lot of ammunition. If they lose the supplies and artillery transported by the baggage troops, even if they decide to hold on or break out, the troops will not have enough ammunition to fight!
