The enemy and ourselves exchanged shots for less than a minute, and the superiority was immediately revealed!
There were at least two corpses lying next to every remaining Japs machine gun!
In order to save his life, the Japanese machine gunner at the back placed the machine gun directly on the corpse and used the corpse of the dead machine gunner as a bunker for himself!
But there is no comparison between this bunker and the machine gun bunker on the seventh company position dozens of meters away. There are loopholes everywhere!
The bullets flew over and still took their lives!
The Seventh Company also lost a lot of machine gunners, but the casualties were definitely smaller than those of the Japanese!
When the machine guns were shooting at each other, the Japanese riflemen were not idle!
Relying on his accurate marksmanship, even though he was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, he still used his precise power to suppress the riflemen of the Seventh Company until they could not lift their heads, causing heavy casualties!
At the end of the fight, it was difficult for the soldiers to even raise their heads!
As soon as everyone emerges from the trench, several bullets will fly towards them at the same time!
The company commander is anxious!
I didn’t expect the Japanese to be so capable of fighting even though I had an absolute advantage!
He realized that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, and at the same time overestimated the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Company!
The training of the troops is seriously insufficient. With the current combat effectiveness of the Seventh Company, even one of three people may not be able to defeat the Japanese!
And the Seventh Company obviously does not have three times the strength advantage, not even twice!
Seeing the Japanese troops approaching him, the company commander could only pin his hopes on the unused grenades!
"Get your grenades ready..."
"Everyone delays the grenade for three seconds and then throws it out, so that the grenade explodes in the air!"
"Prepare...one...two...throw..."
More than sixty grenades flew out of the Seventh Company's position with white smoke!
"Boom boom boom..."
Some exploded after hitting the ground, and some exploded as soon as they reached the Japs' heads. Fragments flew across the sky, creating an airtight net of bullets directly above the heads of the Japs' attacking troops.
Explosions continued to sound, and the screams of Japanese soldiers kept coming from in front of the formation!
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, the company commander could not see anything, but the screams told him everything he wanted to see, and he shouted excitedly!
"Grenade is useful, keep throwing it, throw out all the grenades we brought, and blow up the Japanese!"
At the same time, the Japanese also started throwing grenades!
But because the grenade has a handle, the same person throwing the grenade will definitely be ten meters farther than throwing the grenade!
Most of the grenades flying towards the front hit the front of the position. As long as the Seventh Company hid in the trenches, the flying grenades could not hurt them at all!
Even if a grenade hits the trench, the S-shaped trench will limit its lethality to a range of five meters on the left and right. Any further fragments will be blocked by the irregular trench!
"Sir, the bombing distance is too far. Our grenades can't hit their positions at all, but the Eighth Route Army can throw grenades above our heads!" the deputy captain shouted!
"Unless there is artillery support, we can only rush over after killing a large number of defenders on the position!"
The squadron leader's face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Retreat, and we will attack again when the main force comes over!"
Only half of a squadron successfully retreated from the battlefield, and more than seventy Japanese soldiers fell on the battlefield forever!
The Seventh Company also suffered heavy casualties. After being shot at close range by Japanese riflemen, a main company of more than 120 people had less than 60 people left to breathe!
He had an absolute superiority in troops and terrain, and it was a surprise attack. He actually had a one-to-one casualty ratio!
The company commander couldn't imagine what the outcome would be if the surprise attack turned into a head-to-head positional battle!
"Company Commander, the fighting power of the Japs is really too strong. Many soldiers who died were shot in the head by Japs riflemen! Even if our soldiers train for another half a year, they still can't catch up with them!" The instructor exclaimed, looking like he was surviving a disaster.
road!
A look of fear flashed across the company commander's face, and then he replied: "Fortunately, we made a surprise attack on the Japanese. Otherwise, our Seventh Company would have suffered a disastrous defeat in this battle. We would have been hit on the head and bleeding. We might have been killed here by the Japanese."
It’s possible!”
The Japanese squadron leader also looked ugly. He stood in front of the squadron leader with his head lowered and was being scolded!
After that, he asked for battle with a murderous look on his face: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army on the position has suffered heavy casualties from us. As long as you provide me with artillery support for two minutes, sir, and give me another chance, I will definitely be able to break through their blocking position.
Kill all the Eighth Route Army troops on the position!"
The captain held up the telescope and said nothing!
Under the darkness, he couldn't see very clearly, but he could still see the blocking position clearly!
Putting down the telescope, he sneered: "The Eighth Route Army was so careless that they built the blocking position on the flat ground. This is simply a recipe for death!"
Then he asked his subordinates: "Are you sure there is only one company of the Eighth Route Army on the position?"
"Hi!"
The squadron leader affirmed: "There should be only half a company left now!"
"Shots are still being fired in Lingqiu City. The main force of the independent regiment must be in Lingqiu. It is impossible to allocate too many troops to stop us!"
The captain made a decision without thinking: "In this case, you will not be able to attack in the next attack, and the artillery will not participate in the battle!"
"Assembling and dismantling mortars takes time, and what we need most now is time! So we must use the shortest time and the least casualties to break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position and reinforce Lingqiu!"
"Cavalry squadron, launch an attack immediately and break through the Eighth Route Army's blocking position within five minutes!"
"The terrain here is very suitable for a cavalry assault, and the Eighth Route Army's blocking position is only a trench, which can't stop the cavalry assault at all!"
"The cavalry assault is very fast. From entering the enemy's weapon range to killing them in front of them, it doesn't even take half a minute!"
"Dozens of Eighth Route Army troops couldn't fire a few bullets in half a minute. It would be impossible to hit the cavalry that was charging quickly!"
"The cavalry squadron will attack now, and the troops are ready to move forward!"
"As soon as the cavalry squadron opens a breakthrough, we will set off immediately to reinforce Lingqiu!"
Zhouzhuang Independent Regiment's former enemy headquarters, commander Li Hao's face looked very ugly!
The casualties of the Seventh Company were too great!
Although there was a one-to-one casualty ratio with the Japs, there were too many Japs outside the village. Even if one soldier from the Independent Regiment killed two of them, the remaining troops of the Independent Regiment would not be enough to consume!
"Captain, do you want to order the Eighth Company to replace the Seventh Company? Their casualties are too great!" Huang Sheng warned with heartache!
"No!" Li Hao shook his head and refused!
"If the Japanese send out cavalry next, it doesn't matter whether they change or not!"
"If the Japanese continue to send out infantry, the Eighth Company will still suffer heavy casualties if they go up, so it would be better to abandon the position outside the village!"
"The training time of the army is too short, especially for the newly recruited recruits, which only lasts for more than a month! Fighting positional warfare with the Japanese is no different from letting them die!"
