"Sir... the Eighth Route Army is coming. The offensive firepower is too fierce. We can't withstand it at all!" The Japanese machine gunner was suppressed to death and had no chance to raise his head. He could only report to the sergeant next to him.
Originally, there was an armored vehicle and a reinforcement team garrisoned here. Due to the sudden retreat order issued by superiors, the reinforcement team directly became a combat unit.
Although the armored vehicle was still serving as a fixed firepower point nearby, constantly firing forward. However, the firepower of the two machine guns in the front was limited after all.
More importantly, the Eighth Route Army knew that the machine guns in their hands could not deal with the frontal armor of the armored vehicles. Therefore, when attacking, all firepower was concentrated on the dozen or so people who stayed behind. As a machine gunner, he was beaten three times by his opponents from the beginning.
Watched with a machine gun.
The sergeant was also hiding behind the bunker, unable to raise his head. He glanced at his pocket watch and shouted: "The mission given to us by the commander is to defend this place for half an hour and then retreat. In less than ten minutes, the Eighth Route Army came over and killed us. How can we defend it!"
Hearing these words, the faces of the remaining dozen or so Japs suddenly turned pale.
Not to mention half an hour, now they may not even be able to hold it for five minutes.
There is no doubt that they were all abandoned by their superiors. In order to buy time for the main force to retreat, they were left here to hold off the Eighth Route Army.
The sergeant saw the expressions on his subordinates' faces, and gritted his teeth and ordered: "The commander's orders must be carried out, and the position must be defended to the death. Everyone took out their grenades and prepared to fight in close combat with the Eighth Route Army and fight them to the death!"
The last glimmer of hope for the Japanese was gone, and several people had expressions of despair on their faces.
However, within just a few seconds, these people became enthusiastic and excited.
Now that they know they can't leave, they can calm down and fight hard. The Bushido spirit and their most primitive animal nature are unleashed at this moment.
However, the new attacking group of soldiers did not give them a chance to counterattack and struggle.
The Eighth Route Army, which rushed from all directions, took advantage of the throwing distance of grenades and first threw dozens of white-smoking grenades at them.
In the violent explosion, no matter whether the enemy was lying down or squatting, he could not escape the attack of these fragments.
"Comrades... fight with me. The Japs who stayed in the military camp are destroying the weapons and ammunition that they cannot take away. Those are ours and we must not let them blow them up!" said the guard battalion commander who occupied the Japanese position and led the team.
Hong Ruijun raised his pistol and continued to charge into the station.
As for the armored vehicles on the position, when the soldiers rushed over, they were blown to pieces by the Japanese machine gunners inside!
Lieutenant General Ito retained all the few troops of the Engineer Regiment.
Twelve field guns, twelve heavy guns, six mountain guns, six infantry guns, twelve rapid-fire guns, dozens of vehicles and a large amount of supplies and ammunition. This is all the equipment that the engineer regiment will destroy next.
and supplies.
If the entire engineering regiment were here, within ten minutes at most, these things would be blown up completely.
However, the engineer regiment in front of us had less than 200 people at full strength, not even 20% of the original number. What's more important is that the troops retreated too hastily last night. Except for the 136th Regiment, which brought a thousand kilograms of explosives, the division even had one
I didn’t even bring a kilogram of explosives~
Just now, one thousand kilograms of explosives were used up, and only half of all supplies were destroyed.
As for the remaining supplies and ammunition, especially those artillery pieces, they can only be destroyed by detonating the ammunition.
The engineer brigade's idea was very simple: block the muzzle of the gun with something, and then load the cannon with shells. The moment the gun was fired, the shells would not be able to fly out, and would explode directly in the barrel, destroying the artillery.
More than a hundred people have been busy and have blown up four heavy artillery pieces and seven or eight mountain field artillery pieces.
"Sir, blocking the muzzle of the cannon and blasting the cannons is too slow. Especially for heavy artillery, it is difficult to find something to completely block the muzzle of the cannon so that the shells cannot fly out!" the squadron leader of the Demolition Squadron of the Engineer Wing frowned and reminded.
Especially after hearing the increasingly dense gunshots around me, the expression on his face became even more anxious!
As long as they blow up these supplies, weapons and ammunition, they can retreat immediately, catch up with the main force, and retreat to Linfen together to survive.
However, if the Eighth Route Army kills them during the operation, everyone will definitely not survive.
After all, they were engineers, and many of them did not even have self-defense weapons. Facing the wolf-like pursuit of the Eighth Route Army, they could only be massacred.
"Da da da……"
The engineer commander's expression also became serious.
"Da da da……"
Just as he was about to speak, a series of close gunshots reached his ears~
"Ah...Baga...I was shot..."
Immediately afterwards, several screams rang in the ears, and then four subordinates were seen falling to the ground, covering their chests with blood leaking out of the holes, with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming..." The subordinate next to him pulled the shocked commander to the back of a nearby car and reported with panic on his face.
"I saw it... everyone took the time to blow up the remaining supplies and ammunition, blowing it up with grenades, blowing up as much as they could, and then quickly retreated to catch up with the main force of the division. Not many Eighth Route Army soldiers came over, and we still have
Take the opportunity to retreat!" The commander of the unit also became anxious and ordered through gritted teeth.
The division has already lost one captain in battle, and he doesn't want to be the second captain to die in battle.
The adjutant next to him was most worried that the commander would let them fight and die here.
In the Japanese army, although every soldier has been influenced by the spirit of Bushido for a long time, and is not afraid of death for the so-called emperor. However, among all troops, the higher the level of education, the less poisoned by the spirit of Bushido.
Among all the arms, artillerymen, who must be asked to serve, are the most afraid of death, followed by engineers, followed closely by baggage soldiers... As for ordinary infantry and cavalry, they are the most poisoned by the bushido spirit, and they are also the least afraid of death.
of.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the order to retreat, the adjutant's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
He frowned and ordered: "Guards, protect the captain and retreat first. We will retreat after blowing up these equipment and ammunition. Nothing can happen to the captain!"
As soon as the commander left, the remaining engineers became anxious and threw grenades very perfunctorily among the supplies, ammunition boxes, and artillery pieces.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as the dense explosion sounded, these Japanese engineers started to retreat, regardless of whether the artillery and supplies were destroyed in the explosion~
The adjutant also thought about it and started to retreat with the troops!
"Comrades... come with me and kill these little devils. We must not let them blow up another artillery piece or a box of ammunition!" Hong Ruijun looked heartbrokenly at the artillery pieces shrouded in smoke in the explosion area and shouted loudly.
"Da da da……"
Amidst the intensive gunfire, bullets chased the engineers, further accelerating their retreat and increasing their panic.
