The four crooked guns that had just stopped joined the battle one after another, and the Japanese who had rushed forward more than ten meters had to stop again.
"Boom boom..."
The Japanese grenade seized the opportunity and started firing again. This time four grenades flew directly towards them. The third squad leader Huang Yun was blown over first along with the machine gun in his hand and fell into the trench.
Soon, the crooked gun in Li Hao's hand was out of bullets. The other three crooked guns also stopped one after another. The machine gun was replaced by a rifle and continued to shoot at the Japanese army.
Seeing the Japanese seizing the opportunity and getting up from the ground and rushing over, Li Hao's heart tightened and he immediately felt tremendous pressure.
Fortunately, the grenades he had placed on the battlefield in advance took effect at this time.
Special-purpose grenades with the safety removed were buried in the path that the Japanese attacking troops must pass through. The warhead that triggered the fuse was facing upwards, with a wooden stick pressed against it.
As long as the enemy steps on it, the pressed wooden stick will transfer the pressure to the grenade warhead, and then trigger the fuse, detonating the grenade instantly. The sensitivity and explosive power are much greater than the grenades used before.
"Boom boom..."
Two explosions sounded in front of the formation, and four or five Japanese soldiers around them screamed and fell to the ground, dead and injured.
The other Japs did not realize that the exploding grenades were placed at their feet. They thought they were grenades fired by the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside. They were not too alert and continued to charge forward with their guns in hand.
"Boom boom boom..."
It wasn't until a series of explosions rang out at their feet, killing more than half of the infantry squad at the front, that the surviving Japanese reacted.
"Landmines, there are landmines under our feet!" A Japanese soldier shouted with a look of horror on his face, and then he lay on the ground and refused to get up and continue to move forward.
The scene of the comrades being killed was so tragic. Both legs were blown off at knee level, and blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly turning the ground red.
Not long after, the comrade lost movement due to excessive blood loss and died.
A sergeant shook his head and replied: "It's not a landmine, the mine is more powerful... The explosion sounds like a special grenade for a grenade. Yes, it is a grenade. The Eighth Route Army arranged the grenades as booby traps... Everyone pay attention to your steps and don't stop.
I stepped on a booby trap."
"The troops continue to attack. The Eighth Route Army's machine guns are loading bullets. Seize the opportunity and rush forward!"
Li Hao was very satisfied with the results of more than a dozen grenades.
Seeing nearly twenty corpses scattered in the area thirty to fifty meters in front of the formation, and a full infantry squad with less than half of its strength left, he immediately ordered.
"All machine guns concentrate their fire on the second echelon of Japanese soldiers, others prepare grenades and throw them!"
Eight grenades were thrown at them, and the Japanese soldiers at the front were instantly enveloped in the flames and smoke produced by the explosion, and disappeared from Li Hao's sight.
"Keep throwing grenades and blow up all the little Japs in the first echelon!" Li Hao continued to order.
The white-smoking grenades hit the Japanese one after another, and the grenades launched by the Japanese army also landed on the fourth row of positions one after another, and people were constantly blown over.
Li Hao re-erected the crooked handle, stared at the butt of the gun with his shoulder, put the three Japs gathered together in the second offensive echelon into the crosshairs, and decisively opened fire!
After firing a total of ten bullets from two magazines, I stopped, then quickly moved my shooting position and searched for the next shooting target.
The Japanese captain's face looked very ugly.
The fighting power of the Eighth Route Army frightened him.
Small troops but powerful firepower.
When an infantry squadron attacked, not only did they fail to crush them, but they suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing that fewer and fewer imperial troops were left alive in the infantry squad at the front, the squad leader was also dead. The second squad also began to be attacked, and the captain gave a decisive order.
"Retreat, order the attacking troops to retreat immediately. Our attacking troops are too scattered, giving the Eighth Route Army every opportunity to defeat us!"
"After the second squadron retreated, the third squadron continued the attack. Three infantry squads formed an attack echelon. Kill the remaining Eighth Route Army on the mountainside for me!"
In front of the four rows of positions on the mountainside, there were very few Japanese first-echelon offensive troops left. As the battle continued, people continued to be killed.
"Platoon commander, the Japanese have retreated!"
At this moment, the whistle of the Japanese retreating troops sounded on the battlefield, and Hong Linfeng, who was lying next to him, almost jumped up with joy.
"Well done. We killed an infantry squad of Japanese soldiers in one battle. In addition, we ambush the Japanese forwards and killed them. In less than half an hour, we killed sixty or seventy young Japanese soldiers!"
"If we continue to fight like this, as long as we keep up our efforts and kill another of their infantry squads, the Japs at the foot of the mountain will not dare to stay in the woods any longer!"
"Immediately move the wounded and the bodies of the fallen soldiers to the back, while the others replenish their ammunition and prepare for the second Japanese attack.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Japanese attacking troops appeared.
There were still one infantry squadron and three infantry squads, forming three skirmish lines and charging toward the mountainside.
The only difference is that the three skirmisher lines in front of you are all close together.
Li Hao instantly understood what the Japanese were thinking.
Concentrate all the troops into the first echelon and concentrate the superior forces to attack yourself.
The attack just now has cleared all the booby traps, and he also suffered several casualties, so the blocking firepower must have been greatly weakened.
If you take advantage of this moment to attack in one go, you will definitely not be your opponent.
Li Hao's face instantly became serious, and then he began to give orders.
"When the machine gun enters the bunker, follow my orders before firing. Each machine gunner is responsible for two crooked handles, and the recruits are responsible for loading. We must ensure the continuity of firepower and prepare for battle!"
"beat……"
As soon as the Japanese attacking troops reached 70 to 80 meters in front of the formation, Li Hao opened fire.
Including the Crooked Man controlled by Li Hao, there were only two machine guns firing.
"Yo Xi, there are not many Eighth Route Army men on the mountainside, and there are two fewer machine guns than before~ The Eighth Route Army is finished, victory is in front of us, warriors, go up and kill them...kill them all~" following the team
The squadron leader's eyes sparkled and he ordered with excitement on his face.
"Grenade fire, kill their remaining machine gun firepower!"
"Machine gun cover, shoot their infantry!"
"Kill me!"
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers held rifles with bayonets in their hands, roaring and charging forward.
Especially after the two crooked machine guns stopped firing after firing bullets, the Japanese became even more excited and rushed forward as unscrupulously as if they were in an uninhabited land.
The battle situation seems to be exactly as they predicted: there are not many Eighth Route Army troops on the mountainside, and as long as they charge, victory will belong to them.
More than a hundred people rushed to the front of the formation thirty or forty meters before losing less than ten people.
At this time, the blocking gunfire of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside not only did not become stronger, but became weaker and weaker.
All this seemed to tell them that the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside was doomed.
As a result, their originally bent waists straightened up unconsciously. For them, this attack was more like a drill.
"Machine gun ready!" Li Hao, who was waiting for this moment, suppressed his inner excitement and ordered with a serious face.
