The smoke generated by the explosion has shrouded the bunker so tightly that it is impossible to see outside.
Continuing to shoot is like shooting blindly. Not only will you not be able to kill the little Japs, but you will also waste precious bullets and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Zhang Yun forced himself to calm down, and then decisively ordered: "Stop shooting all machine guns!"
"Everyone, come to the entrance of the bunker. Once there are signs that the bunker has been destroyed, we will evacuate the bunker immediately!"
The explosion ended just as quickly as it came.
The bunker was not destroyed, it was intact, and there was not even a single crack.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, with long-lost smiles on their faces.
Zhang Yun's tense heart also relaxed, and he replied with a smile on his face: "Comrades, the company commander is right, the bunkers are indestructible, and the Japs' mortars can't do anything to them. Everyone, go back and get into position immediately, ready to greet them."
A new round of attack by the little devils.
After a new round of Japanese artillery shells hit, Zhang Yun finally lost his nerves as he listened to the constant explosions above his head, frowning and lost in thought.
There is no doubt about the safety of the bunker. The only thing I have to think about now is how to use the bunker under my feet to severely injure the Japanese at the foot of the mountain, kill a few more, and hold them back until the company commander returns for reinforcements.
"Platoon leader, the Japs are attacking again, there are two infantry squads!" The reminder from the squad leader beside him brought Zhang Yun back to reality.
Through the thinning smoke from the firing holes, the figures of the Japanese attacking troops loomed into his sight.
"It's two infantry squads!" Zhang Yun analyzed with a serious look.
"Judging from the corpses on the battlefield, we killed nearly two-thirds of the team that tried to attack just now, and only less than twenty people escaped!"
"Although there were more than 300 Japs who entered the mountain, one-third of them were artillerymen and heavy machine gunners. The real combat troops were only a little over 200."
"More than 30 people died just now, and now more than 100 people have arrived. More than half of the Japanese combat troops entering the mountain are pressing forward. They are bound to capture the mountain pass we are defending!"
The squad leader next to him answered excitedly: "Platoon leader, the Japanese certainly didn't expect that our bunker is still intact!"
"I suggest you use the same attack method as before and keep getting closer to them. There are so many little Japs, and six machine guns suddenly fire. One shot can kill ten or twenty of them!"
"Even if they react quickly enough and retreat as soon as they are attacked, we can still kill at least one of their infantry squads!"
Having made up his mind, Zhang Yun asked with a thoughtful look on his face: "It's a good idea, but have you ever thought about it after repelling the Japanese attack?"
The first squad leader hesitated and replied: "Coupled with the losses just now, the Japanese casualties will definitely exceed the two infantry squads, accounting for more than half of all combat troops entering the mountain!"
"As long as the little devil commander still has some sense, he will definitely choose to retreat in the face of such heavy casualties!"
Zhang Yun nodded in confirmation.
After a few seconds, he stared at the squad leader and continued to ask: "According to your proposal, there is no problem in guarding the mountain pass. But have you ever thought about how to avenge the sacrifice of so many soldiers outside the mountain after the Japanese retreat?"
The squad leader's brows slowly knitted together. He really hadn't thought about this problem.
But he soon came to his senses and replied with anger: "This revenge must be avenged. More than a hundred soldiers died. Without revenge, those soldiers will not be able to rest in peace!"
"But there are more than 300 Japs at the foot of the mountain, and there are only more than 30 of us. Even if we want revenge, there is nothing we can do!"
"We can't annihilate all the Japs at the foot of the mountain!" Zhang Yun replied noncommittally.
Following the change of subject, he continued: "However, with the addition of the troops brought back by the company commander, we can attack them from both front and back, and the possibility of annihilating them will greatly increase."
"The instructor's guard reported that the company commander is already on his way back with his troops for reinforcements. They are marching faster than the Japanese and they are taking small roads. Judging from the time, they should be back in two or three hours!"
"As long as we can find a way to hold them back until the company commander returns for reinforcements, we will definitely be able to kill them!"
"Even if we can't, in the process of holding them back, we can slowly consume them like boiling frogs in warm water."
"When the Japanese commander reacts, he will find that there are not many combat troops left in his hands, and he will achieve the purpose of severely damaging them!"
The squad leader's eyes slowly became hot, and he stared at Zhang Yun and asked: "Platoon leader, you have thought of a way!"
"Showing weakness..." Zhang Yun spit out two words, cleanly!
"Dispatching two machine gun bunkers and a total of six machine guns at once to fight back will definitely scare the little devils away!"
"If we only use one machine gun in a bunker and let the Japanese see hope of taking over the mountain pass, they will attack us risking their lives!"
The squad leader suddenly reacted, suddenly realized and shouted: "Then we can use the Japanese to attack non-stop, wear them down bit by bit, add up, and finally achieve the goal of severely damaging them!"
The Japanese offensive position at the foot of the mountain.
Lieutenant Colonel Ida held up his binoculars and stared motionlessly at the two bunkers that had been blown into ruins on the battlefield. He was deeply afraid that the bunkers had not been blown up and that the Eighth Route Army was still hidden inside.
"Da da da……"
What he was most worried about happened.
When the attacking troops were still more than a hundred meters away from the bunker, gunshots rang out. A machine gun emerged from each of the two machine gun bunkers and fired bullets at the attacking troops as if they were free of charge!
The suppressive firepower fired by the six heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun squadron was very fierce. Holding up the binoculars, Lieutenant Commander Ida could clearly see the bullets whizzing towards the two fire points.
But the machine gun, which was covered by bushes and cat grass, was not affected and continued to fire at the attacking troops.
Even if the machine gun suddenly misfires, the gunfire will only pause for two or three seconds before continuing.
For ordinary riflemen, only a few sharpshooters can achieve accurate hits at a shooting distance of more than one hundred meters, but in front of a machine gun, this shooting distance is exactly his effective range.
Some of the attacking troops were beaten to pieces one after another and fell to the ground with screams!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten imperial troops in the attacking force were killed by these two machine guns!
Lieutenant Colonel Ida's heart began to bleed again. The troops who went up this time were all seconded by him from the Watanabe Brigade. If they suffered too many casualties, even if he took the Yamaguchi, he would not be able to give an explanation to Lieutenant Commander Watanabe.
His brows wrinkled subconsciously.
The adjutant next to him was very happy and reminded excitedly: "Sir, there were six machine guns shooting in the bunker just now, and now there are only two left!"
"Although the bunker has not been completely destroyed, we at least killed four of their machine gun fire points in the shelling just now!"
"I suggest that the attacking troops retreat immediately and the artillery continues to fire. Even if we cannot completely blow up the machine gun bunker, we must destroy the remaining two machine gun fire points!"
Ida Nakasa's frown slowly relaxed.
The adjutant's words gave him hope of victory.
I was very happy to answer: "Yes, the lack of four light machine guns shows that the shelling we just carried out was effective."
"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately, and the artillery will continue to fire, destroying the remaining two machine gun fire points of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as the Japanese bombardment started, the machine guns in the bunker stopped.
The squad leader squatting beside Zhang Yun shouted excitedly: "Platoon leader, your plan has come true!"
"The Japanese attacking troops retreated, but they did not retreat!"
"The current shelling proves that they want to continue fighting and occupy the mountain pass!"
"Just now, two machine guns killed half an infantry squad and more than twenty Japs. Later we will show weakness again, and then focus all our firepower on them to counterattack. Together, we can kill at least two Japs infantry squads!"
"If we come here a few more times, we will kill more little devils!"
