The grenade launchers equipped by the independent company on the ridge quickly began to return fire.
The hit rate was more than one level worse than that of the Japanese army.
Four grenades flew out, but none hit the target.
However, the violent explosion still frightened the Japanese, and a dozen Japanese grenade launchers in a row quickly moved away.
"Kill me..."
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers also moved. Seeing that the firepower of the machine guns on the ridge suddenly weakened, they immediately drew their guns and passed over the puppet troops in front.
The assault distance of tens of meters is not far for the Japanese troops who are charging quickly, and they can be killed in one sprint.
While charging, he held the grenade hanging on his waist in his hand, ready to throw it up the ridge and start the final charge!
"Use all the firepower and shoot these little devils to death!" Zhao Wen ordered decisively.
"Da da da……"
Two heavy machine guns fired first.
Two tongues of flame more than a foot long spurted out from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullets flew toward the Japanese grenade launcher behind the attacking troops as if they were free of charge.
They escaped the counterattacks of independent grenade launchers and did not escape the heavy machine gun fire.
Large-caliber heavy machine gun bullets are powerful and have a long range, and destructive guns will kill or injure you as long as they come into contact with them.
Five light machine guns hidden together also opened fire.
Including the remaining four, the total nine machine guns cooperated with each other, and the bullets fired directly intertwined an airtight steel storm in front of the Japanese.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese at the front were killed and injured.
"Sir, we have been fooled. The Eighth Route Army is also equipped with heavy machine guns!" the squad leader standing next to the squadron leader shouted, with a look of shock on his face and his words began to tremble.
"The grenadier soldiers who accompanied the attacking force suffered heavy casualties and were no longer able to provide fire cover for the attacking force!"
The adjutant followed up and said: "The enemy's heavy machine guns have begun to suppress the firepower of our light machine guns!"
"Their blocking firepower is so fierce that the warriors can't even charge forward!"
"The troops did not intensify the mortar fire, and the grenadier soldiers suffered heavy casualties. There was nothing we could do about the enemy's blocking fire!"
The squadron leader's mind started spinning rapidly.
Disappointedly, he couldn't think of any solution to the problem.
Seeing more and more of his subordinates being killed on the battlefield, he could only order with helplessness: "Retreat, the attacking troops will withdraw immediately!"
On the mountain ridge, Li Hao did not participate in the battle. He held up his binoculars and stared motionlessly at the battlefield and every move of the Japanese and puppet troops behind the battlefield.
When he saw the Japanese signal soldiers starting to send retreat signals in semaphore, he immediately gave the order.
"All artillery fire now... shoot out the shells as fast as possible..."
"Mountain cannons hit the Japanese attacking troops, mortars hit the Japanese gathering areas, and the artillery fire cannot stop without my order!"
"Rumble..."
As soon as Li Hao finished speaking, the dull sound of shelling sounded from behind the mountain ridge.
Mortars and mountain artillery roared at the same time, and the shells passed over everyone's heads along different trajectories and hit the ground.
"Boom boom boom..."
Three fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke were the first to rise from the center of the Japanese attacking troops.
In the violent explosion, Li Hao clearly saw that more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were blown up. Two of them were the most unlucky, being blown to pieces with no bones left!
"Okay, good job, keep firing like this!" Li Hao ordered with excitement.
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of explosions of mortar shells was heard.
The formation of the Japanese and puppet troops at the assembly area was much denser. Only two of the three artillery shells hit, and one of them hit the edge of the assembly area, but it still killed and injured seven or eight Japanese soldiers."
"Artillery attack, concealment..." The Japanese squadron leader subconsciously lay down on the ground to avoid the shell fragments flying above his head.
His face instantly turned pale, and he cried out: "We have been fooled... The Eighth Route Army is not blocking us at all, they are going to annihilate us here!"
"Otherwise it would be impossible to equip so many artillery pieces, not only mortars, but also more powerful mountain cannons!"
"Boom boom boom..."
A second round of mortar shells followed and exploded in the surrounding area.
The hit rate was higher than before, so even though the Japanese were all lying on the ground, there were still seven or eight casualties.
The squadron leader's face turned paler and his eyes turned red. He ordered anxiously: "What are you doing standing still? Don't vomit now. We will retreat and go back to the county seat!"
"This is obviously a conspiracy. The Eighth Route Army wants to eat us!"
"There are still attacking troops, disperse and retreat immediately, and directly exit the effective range of the enemy's artillery!"
Not one move of the Japanese and puppet troops on the mountain ridge, in front of the formation and at the gathering place escaped Li Hao's eyes.
The artillery fired and the Japanese troops retreated. This was a situation he had long expected.
It is not for nothing that artillery is the god of land warfare.
On the plain with an unobstructed view, even if you lie down on the ground, you cannot avoid the huge lethality caused by the close-range explosion of artillery shells!
Unless the Japanese army wants all of them to die here, they have only one way to retreat in the face of artillery.
Seeing the Japanese begin to retreat, he immediately ordered: "The artillery will continue to fire, and the speed of the artillery fire must be accelerated. The more shells that hit, the more little Japanese we will kill. No one can stop without my order!"
"The blocking troops are ready to counterattack. I'm going to beat the Japanese to pieces!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions continued to sound on the battlefield, and every shell exploded and more or less killed one or two Japanese soldiers.
The Japanese who completely entered the area covered by mountain artillery fire felt very aggrieved.
Seeing that victory was already beckoning to them, the sudden increase in blocking firepower shattered their dreams.
Then the cannonballs came down and started to harvest everyone's lives.
Fortunately, they received the order to retreat at this time.
However, the constant explosions behind them and the bullets flying above their heads made them not happy at all.
If you want to exit the battlefield alive, you must not only dodge the artillery shells that will hit your head at any time, but also avoid the machine gun bullets flying around you.
Anyone who doesn't avoid it will be killed!
"Retreat quickly. Only by retreating can we survive. Don't stop!" A second lieutenant who was still alive shouted heartbrokenly.
"Woooo...boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mountain cannon shell with a screaming sound exploded next to him.
The whole person was blown up in an instant, and then dismembered into parts in the air. The remaining broken arms fell around like rain. It was very tragic!
