Bunker No. 8 is the next target to be attacked by the garrison.
On the surface, it looks like a small arched earth bag on the hillside, which is very well disguised.
There are a total of five shooting holes scattered around the soil bag, all covered with camouflage nets, making them very concealed.
Originally, there were eight little Japs and six puppet troops stationed here, a total of 14 soldiers, personally commanded by a second lieutenant and squad leader, equipped with one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns.
After the surviving troops on the front line retreated, the garrison here was directly strengthened to 20 people, and the light machine guns were also increased to four.
After bunker No. 7 was destroyed by heavy artillery, the second lieutenant personally stood guard next to the heavy machine gun.
The shooting range of this shooting hole is the best in the entire bunker. Looking out from here, you can have a panoramic view of everything in front of the bunker.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is approaching us!" the sergeant in charge of the heavy machine gun reminded.
A black shadow scurried into his field of vision like a monkey. After a few seconds, there were more than ten black shadows within his field of vision.
Bent over, holding a gun, dodging left and right, approaching the location of the bunker with a vigilant look on his face.
"Sir, do you want to shoot them?" When a dozen black figures were about to rush fifty meters in front of the bunker, the sergeant who had just reminded him spoke again.
"How to fight?" the second lieutenant asked, frowning.
"This is obviously a test unit of the Eighth Route Army. Once the gun fires, we will be exposed, and then they will send out heavy artillery to attack us."
"When the time comes, our bunker company and an infantry squad of the Eighth Route Army will be destroyed before we can kill them. It's not cost-effective."
"Wait a moment..."
A dozen black shadows were getting closer and closer, and when the bunker was less than thirty meters away, the attacking troops of the garrison still did not appear.
The second lieutenant was also anxious at this time, and big beads of sweat appeared on his forehead like rain.
Finally, he racked his brains and came up with a solution, and quickly ordered.
"You guys go out and kill them with rifles and grenades. We can't let them move forward anymore."
"Baba..."
Gunfire soon rang outside the bunker, and two black figures fell down in response, but more black figures lay on the ground, crawling forward, and continued to approach the bunker.
"Da da da……"
At the same time, the heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army providing fire cover also fired.
Six heavy machine guns fired at the same time, and the bullets flew like a storm towards the location where the gunshots were fired.
Several Japanese and puppet riflemen were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could fire a second shot, and more than half of them were killed or injured.
Those who were still alive were pinned down on the battlefield, with bullets flying overhead and no chance to raise their heads, let alone continue fighting.
"Sir, these dozen Eighth Route Army troops are charging over again. If we don't shoot, it will be too late." The sergeant reminded again.
Just when the second lieutenant was struggling and hesitating whether to fire, the main force of the Eighth Route Army that he had been waiting for finally appeared.
More figures of the Eighth Route Army entered the second lieutenant's field of vision, forming a line of skirmishers and rushing towards the bunker.
"Shoot..." The second lieutenant decided not to wait any longer, drew out his command knife, and shouted loudly.
"Da da da……"
As soon as the words were spoken, the heavy machine gun beside him roared, and a tongue of flame more than a foot long was sprayed out from the black hole of the muzzle. The bullet, wrapped in flames, passed through the shooting hole and flew towards the Eighth Route Army.
A dozen Eighth Route Army troops who had rushed twenty meters outside the bunker fell half dead on the spot.
But the little devil's good luck ended here.
"Boom boom boom..."
Eight grenades exploded outside the bunker.
These grenades are filled with black powder and are not very powerful, but will produce a large amount of black smoke after explosion.
In the blink of an eye, the flames fired from the machine gun were enveloped in black smoke.
The battlefield was already so dark that everyone could only see the Eighth Route Army disappearing and appearing with the help of flares, and then shoot.
Now with the cover of black smoke, all the little devils in the bunker were blinded. They could only fire wildly at the approximate target, trying to rely on the density of firepower to prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing to approach the bunker.
"Sir, the main force of the Eighth Route Army behind is also coming!" The sight of a shooting hole was not blocked. Looking at the main force of the Eighth Route Army rushing over like hungry wolves fifty or sixty meters away, the machine gunner shouted with a hint of nervousness.
The second lieutenant's brows were already knitted into a big "Sichuan" sign.
He had already figured out the Eighth Route Army's offensive method.
Force the bunker to be exposed in advance by testing the attacking troops.
If the machine guns in the bunker do not fire, when the probing troops approach, they will face attacks from two Eighth Route armies at the same time.
One is the probing force from the front.
Although there were not many of them, they were too close to the bunker, and an accident might allow them to touch the outside of the bunker.
Attacked from the outside, the bunker is absolutely indestructible and can sustain several heavy artillery shells.
But the bunker is also very fragile.
If the Eighth Route Army were allowed to reach the bunker, all they had to do was throw a grenade through the firing hole, and everyone in the bunker would be killed, and the bunker would lose its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, at least two light machine guns must be set up in the bunker to deal with them.
As a result, the firepower against the other Eighth Route Army, which is the main force of the offensive force, will be weak.
But they must be stopped.
If they are allowed to get close to the bunker, they can also destroy the bunker through a strong attack...
If I had known this, I would have ordered the machine guns to fire when these probing troops appeared, and kill them first.
In this way, even if the stronghold is exposed and destroyed by heavy artillery, it can kill a lot of the Eighth Route Army and consume a lot of their heavy artillery shells. More importantly, the troops defending the bunker will still have a chance to evacuate here.
Now, facing the simultaneous attacks of two Eighth Route armies, I didn't even have a chance to retreat.
If an accident occurs, perhaps a single grenade can wipe out everyone, and the garrison will even save heavy artillery shells.
But there is no regret in taking medicine.
Facing the attacks from the two Eighth Route Army armies, he could only hold on and hope that no accident would occur on the battlefield.
"Boom boom boom..."
The grenade sounded outside the bunker again. It must have been thrown by several Eighth Route Army troops outside.
Amid the explosion, the black smoke shrouding the outside of the bunker became more intense.
In addition, the Japanese army allocated more than half of its firepower to deal with the main force of the company. Several Eighth Route Army troops who were close to the bunker took the opportunity to launch an attack and continued to approach the bunker.
Finally, a soldier took advantage of the machine gun cessation to reach the side of the bunker.
With his back to the bunker, he was half-crouching next to a shooting hole.
No matter how bullets flew out of the shooting hole, they couldn't hurt him.
The soldier took a deep breath and took out a grenade.
In terms of explosive power, the grenade used to capture the kid was several times more powerful than the grenade, so the soldier chose to use a grenade to end the life of the kid in the bunker.
Pulled out the safety and hit the butt of the gun hard.
After the grenade emits white smoke, throw it in through the firing hole.
