One after another, Japanese soldiers were beaten to death and fell on the offensive road with screams.
Ida Nakasa held up the telescope. Although he was heartbroken, he did not issue an order not to retreat.
"Sir, the defensive firepower of the Eighth Route Army is too weak. If you block here, you can't defend there. The offensive troops are very fast. They will kill them in a few minutes!" The adjutant seemed to have seen the victory and waved to him.
shouted excitedly.
Lieutenant Colonel Ida responded in agreement: "Order the offensive troops to continue to speed up the assault!"
"The enemy only has one light machine gun. The faster our assault speed, the smaller the casualties will be!"
"Strive to seize the mountain pass in one assault, rush into their secret camp, and kill all the Eighth Route Army here!"
"Hi……"
With the command flag waving, the enemy's attack speed on the hillside obviously accelerated a lot.
Inside the machine gun bunker, an excited voice suddenly sounded.
"Platoon commander, we hit, I killed a little devil!"
"I also hit a little devil..." Another soldier added.
Zhang Yun is an old Red Army veteran who has gone through the Long March. Although his marksmanship is not as good as that of a sharpshooter, it is more than a little better than ordinary soldiers.
After firing five bullets in a row, two Japs had died in his hands.
He quickly poked his head out of the shooting hole, picked up the rifle, simply aimed through the crosshair, and then pulled the trigger.
Fifty meters away, a Japanese sergeant fell down at the sound.
After shooting, let the shooting hole out and then ordered.
"The devils are getting closer and closer. Seize the opportunity and fire two more shots each!"
"If you hit the enemy, try to kill another one. If you don't hit, hurry up!"
"The machine gunners are on standby. When the Japanese rush to thirty meters, all the machine guns will be in place and use the strongest counterattack firepower to knock them out of their control!"
After saying that, Zhang Yun put the rifle in his hand on his back, passed through the shooting hole, and stared motionlessly at the Japanese who were killing him.
The Japanese who rushed closer and closer greatly increased the hit rate of the soldiers.
When they were about to rush to the front of the bunker, there were less than 80 Japs left out of a hundred or so.
"Replace all shooting holes with machine guns and prepare to shoot!" Zhang Yun suddenly ordered.
Two soldiers were responsible for a crooked handle and quickly set it up behind the shooting hole.
The machine gunner squatted half on the ground, with his shoulder on the butt of the gun, holding the handle with one hand, ready to hold the fire at any time, and pressing the pressure plate with the other hand to ensure continuous firepower.
The deputy shooter squatted next to him, holding several bullet clips that had been greased with gun oil, ready to feed bullets into the crooked gun magazine at any time!
"Shoot~" Zhang Yun roared.
"Da da da……"
The moment gunshots rang out quickly, Zhang Yun continued to order: "Others exit the bunker and prepare grenades. If any Japanese come over, use grenades to hit them to prevent accidents!"
Where there was only one machine gun just now, five more machine guns suddenly appeared on the mountainside. Not only did Lieutenant Commander Ida get shocked, but the Japanese attacking troops were also frightened.
With an assault distance of thirty meters, you can rush through in less than ten seconds with a full-force assault.
Many Japs already had grenades in their hands, preparing to launch the final blow against the bunker.
At this moment, the one machine gun blocking them suddenly became six, and bullets flew towards them like a rain of bullets.
Before many little devils could react from the shock, bullets had already drilled several holes in their bodies!
Six machine guns fired crossfire in front of them, making it impossible to hide.
If you continue to attack, there is almost no chance of getting through.
A little Japanese second lieutenant shouted out loud: "Baga, we have been fooled~"
"The eight-way firepower is too strong. We can't rush through at all. Everyone lies down and takes cover!"
The number of less than eighty Japs was reduced to more than fifty in just two or three seconds.
Even if they were all lying on the ground, the bullets flying down from above would still continue to kill them.
The telescope that Lieutenant Commander Ida held in his hand shook due to this accident and fell to the ground. He shouted with a look of sudden realization.
"We were fooled!"
"Mortars had no effect on the machine gun bunker and the Eighth Route Army hiding in the bunker!"
"They deliberately show weakness to attract us to attack them, and then consume our attacking troops!"
"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately. The artillery fires now to cover their retreat. Don't worry about accidental damage!"
"Compared with the Eighth Route Army's use of machine guns to kill our troops, the casualties caused by accidental artillery fire are not worth mentioning!"
On the high ground less than one kilometer behind the Japanese army, there was an artillery platoon of three mortars and three mountain guns, all with their muzzles raised, pointing directly at the battlefield.
The firing parameters of the artillery were all determined by Li Hao. Although there was no test firing, Li Hao was sure that the first shot would hit.
The battlefield is only one kilometer away from here.
As a sharpshooter, Li Hao can guarantee that the error will never exceed five meters when determining the shooting distance within one kilometer.
"All artillery, prepare to fire!" Li Hao, who was squatting on the ground and holding a telescope in his hand, suddenly ordered.
Zhang Yun deliberately concealed his firepower and showed weakness to the little devil. The outcome was the same as what he had judged before.
I saw that more than half of the Japanese attacking troops had suffered casualties and were pinned down by the garrison platoon thirty or forty meters in front of the bunker, unable to advance or retreat.
Li Hao knew that his chance to take action had come.
The moment the Japanese six mortars fired, Li Hao ordered: "Three rapid fire rounds from the mountain cannon, six rapid fire rounds from the mortars, fire immediately~"
"Tong Tong Tong... boom boom boom..."
After the dull sound of shelling rang in his ears, less than three seconds later, several huge fireballs appeared in Li Hao's telescope.
Four of the six shells hit the target.
Two heavy machine guns in the Japs' heavy machine gun position were blown over on the spot. Seven or eight Japs fell to the ground, dying!
The artillery position and infantry assembly area received one shell each.
An artillery position was bombed, and the assembly area was centered on the impact point. At least five Japanese soldiers were blown over, causing heavy casualties.
The Japs have always used cannons to blow up others. When have they ever felt so aggrieved? The position was in chaos.
Lieutenant Commander Ida was protected by guards, his face pale.
The whole person was like an angry lion, shouting loudly: "Didn't we kill all the Eighth Route Army outside the mountain? Where did these Eighth Route Army come from!"
The adjutant frowned and explained: "Sir, this Eighth Route Army is also equipped with mortars and mountain artillery. Could it be the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Watanabe Brigade a few days ago?"
"Only this Eighth Route Army exists in Lingqiu, there are no other Eighth Route Army!"
Lieutenant Colonel Ida continued to scold: "Aren't they blocking the baggage troops along the highway from replenishing ammunition and baggage to the Watanabe Brigade? Why are they here!"
The adjutant shook his head and replied: "I don't know even if I am in a humble position!"
"Boom boom boom..."
The second round of shells fell, and the violent explosion brought Ida back to reality.
This time all three shells hit the target.
Two hit the artillery position and one hit the assembly area.
“Comrades, kill me... da da da…”
The assault by the fire platoon and the first platoon also began at this time.
Less than a hundred meters away from here, in the middle of the bushes, fifty or sixty soldiers suddenly appeared and rushed towards him as if they had been beaten to death.
Those at the front were almost all machine gunners, each holding a light machine gun and firing while charging. Bullets were flying towards us like a rain of bullets.
Lieutenant Colonel Ida's face turned even paler, and he shouted out loud: "They want to annihilate us all here!"
