The light machine gun fired from the front, and the rifleman threw grenades from behind. The entire offensive force was like a tank, advancing rapidly.
The Japanese who stood in front were either shot to death by bullets or blown up by grenades, and were completely crushed and beaten by the Eighth Company.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army is about to reach the artillery position!" A trace of panic appeared on the anxious face of the chief of staff.
The Eighth Route Army's assault speed was too fast, especially their stand-up style of play, which was both tricky and powerful. They would absolutely crush the scattered Imperial Army.
I originally thought it would take them five minutes to reach the artillery position.
Judging from their current assault speed, they can kill them in three minutes at most.
More than a minute has passed now. If there is no way to stop them, the imperial army will lose this battle.
The captain's face was also covered with a shadow, and his expression was more solemn than before.
He also realized the crisis and stared at the artillery position and cursed: "What are the artillery doing? Why did they stop firing after firing two rounds of artillery shells?"
"Order them to ignore the other Eighth Route Army and block the Eighth Route Army attacking us at all costs..."
"Hi..." the chief of staff quickly took the order.
Now we have reached a critical moment of life and death. If the artillery responds quickly and seizes the time to execute the order, everyone will survive.
If it is not carried out, or carried out later, everyone will definitely die.
Therefore, he did not let his subordinates give orders and went to the artillery positions to supervise the operations in person.
At the artillery position, the mountain artillery squadron leader was also confused by the changes in front of him.
Neither did he expect that the Eighth Route Army would be so desperate and confront him at all costs, nor did he expect that the infantry would be so vulnerable that they would collapse in front of the attacking troops of the garrison and not even have the strength to hold out for five seconds.
The gunshots and explosions were getting closer and closer, and stray bullets were already flying into the artillery positions, threatening the safety of the artillery.
If we don't find a way to stop them, the artillery position will definitely change hands, and everyone here, including himself, will be killed by the Eighth Route Army.
The captain of the mountain artillery squadron decided to ignore the Eighth Route Army in the checkpoint and stop the Eighth Route Army that was close at hand.
"All the artillery pieces were adjusted to fire at me, aiming at the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops, and stopping them with artillery shells."
“Bah bah… da da da…
A sudden series of gunshots interrupted the commander of the mountain artillery squadron's unfinished order.
Then the squadron leader felt a stinging pain spread rapidly from his chest throughout his body.
When he lowered his head, he saw a blood hole appeared in his heart. Blood spurted out and in the blink of an eye, the military uniform around the wound was dyed red.
The solemn expression on the squadron leader's face was instantly shrouded in despair, and he fell to the ground with reluctance.
Also falling to the ground were at least ten gunners.
The battlefield was so chaotic, with explosions and gunshots everywhere, and no one knew where these deadly bullets came from.
The deputy mortar squadron leader immediately took over the command and ordered the troops to continue adjusting their artillery to intercept the incoming Eighth Route Army.
As soon as he was halfway through the command, his voice suddenly stopped.
He was also shot in the chest, staring with big eyes, and fell to the ground unwillingly.
There were still more than ten gunners who fell to the ground together.
"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army must be hiding near us, everyone hide!" a second lieutenant shouted while lying on the ground.
He guessed right. Except for the 89th and 8th companies, the downsized reconnaissance platoon has never been idle.
They are the elite of the garrison regiment, second only to the commandos in terms of combat effectiveness. They are good at camouflage and insertion, and have strong individual combat capabilities.
Wearing a camouflage net and walking through the woods and bushes, the Japanese couldn't even spot him ten meters away.
When the 89th Company attacked, taking advantage of the Japanese and puppet troops' attention being focused on them, a dozen scouts operating nearby decided to give the Japanese a tiger to eat out their hearts, and took advantage of the chaos to go directly to the artillery position and wait for orders.
If the 89th Company can successfully reach the artillery position, they will continue to lurk and join forces with them to occupy the artillery position.
If the attacking troops encountered trouble, they would come out from behind the Japanese in advance to cover the attack of the 89th Company.
Seeing that the Japanese suddenly adjusted their artillery fire at the last moment, the 89th and 89th companies had only one minute to break into the artillery position. Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company, was keenly aware that the Japanese artillery was going to intercept them.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to fire and cover the attack of the 89th Company.
After firing two shots, a figure suddenly entered Chen Wei's field of vision.
Dressed as an officer, holding a command knife in one hand and a box cannon in the other, with two guards following behind him, he hurried towards the artillery position.
Chen Wei knew at a glance that it was a big fish.
Point your rifle at him decisively, slide the front sight in, and pull the trigger.
The Japanese officer fell to the ground as soon as the gunshot was fired. The two guards on the left and right were very panicked. They threw themselves at the officer's side and checked for a few seconds, then turned around and ran back, looking panicked.
"kill……"
At this moment, the Eighth Company finally came and killed them.
The last line of defense of the artillery position was easily broken through by them.
Nearly a hundred soldiers, armed with various weapons, rushed into the artillery position like a flood that burst a dam.
Facing the gunners who were either squatting or lying down, they shot at them without any hesitation...
When the battle reached this point, Chen Wei knew that the Japanese artillery position was finished. Even if the Japanese infantry reinforcements came now, they would be unable to save the day.
There are only a dozen people around him, so it doesn't make much sense whether he joins the fight or not.
Pointing at the two Japs running crazily not far away, he ordered: "Follow them!"
"These two Japs are guards protecting the officers. If I kill the officers, they will definitely report back to the headquarters."
"Follow them and you will find the Japs headquarters and catch the biggest fish on the battlefield."
Chen Wei's feeling is very accurate.
The two guards immediately ran to the regimental commander and reported to him the news that the chief of staff had died in battle.
Chen Wei led the team and knew that the reconnaissance company was in luck today when they reached about thirty or forty meters away.
A long radio antenna protruded from behind the stone. At first glance, it was obvious that it was for high-power radio stations. At this time, even a fool could guess that the Japanese headquarters was hiding behind the big stone.
With a wave of his hand, he decisively led his men to outflank him.
The temporary headquarters, the wing commander, and the two group captains all showed expressions of despair.
The chief of staff is dead, the Eighth Route Army has already entered the artillery position, everyone has completely lost this battle, and Amaterasu is powerless to save the day.
A captain didn't want to die yet, so he bravely suggested: "Sir, we are defeated."
"The Chinese have an old saying: Leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. You are our captain and must stay alive."
"This is a mountainous area, and people can be hidden everywhere. We will cover you and fight your way out."
Several officers didn't want to die. When they heard someone taking the lead in mentioning the breakout, they immediately responded: "Yes, we will cover your breakout."
"As long as you are alive, sir, our unit will still be there..."
