The Japanese squadron leader was squatting on the ground, holding his command knife in his hand, waiting for the artillerymen behind him to fire again. He was very anxious!
In the yard next to him that had just been blasted by mortars, two black machine gun barrels protruded from the firing holes again!
Including the squadron leader, all the Japanese were unprepared.
The gun rang out, and bullets flew toward their flanks!
"Enemy attack, take cover!"
Facing the surprise attack, the guard half-crouching next to him shouted in shock, and then he rushed towards the squadron leader. The two of them fell to the ground and ate shit together, but their lives were saved!
The ordinary soldiers around were not so lucky!
Bullets swept across them, and they were like living targets. They were swept to the ground one by one, with bullet holes all over their bodies!
The squadron leader raised his head and looked around. He saw the corpses and wounded lying on the street. The strong and pungent smell of blood, the heart-rending screams of the soldiers... constantly stimulated his nerves!
A pair of eyes instantly turned red, like an angry lion, roaring and shouting: "Didn't the courtyard of Bagya Road be bombed by artillery? Why is there still the Eighth Route Army, and it has such strong firepower!"
"Contact the artillery and fire immediately. First kill the Eighth Route Army hiding in the yard on the flanks, and then shell the barricades in front!"
"Fire for me now. With such fierce surprise firepower, if they delay for one more minute to fire, we will kill several more warriors!"
With infantry reinforcements and protection, the few gunners who were still alive quickly entered combat mode!
Just as we were about to continue firing, the squadron leader's order to change the bombardment target came!
"Quickly, re-adjust the shooters, target, flank the yard where the reinforcements are firing, fire three rounds rapidly from each gun, fire as soon as the artillery is adjusted, no need to wait for orders!" shouted the Japanese artillery squad leader!
"Tum..."
In less than half a minute, the first shell flew out of the barrel!
Before the squad leader's tense nerves had time to relax, the sound of machine gun fire rang out again, which he had never been so frightened by!
The third platoon had just attacked them from the left side of the street, but this time it was just the opposite. All the bullets flew from the yard on the right side of the street!
The second platoon of only two squads did not concentrate its forces to attack the Japanese reinforcements!
Divided into two, one infantry squad brings two crooked guns to attack the Japanese infantry, and one infantry squad brings two crooked guns to reinforce the third platoon!
Seeing the Japanese artillery firing again, the squad leader of the third platoon of reinforcements decisively changed the reinforcement mission to a surprise artillery attack!
He was right next to the platoon leader when he was leading the mission, and clearly heard what the company commander said!
"Japanese artillery is too great a threat to the troops. As long as we can kill them, we will not hesitate to pay some price!
When he saw the Japanese artillery firing again, his first thought was to kill them. He could no longer let them wreak havoc on the Eighth Route Army positions, killing and wounding his comrades!"
"The enemy is attacking, get down..."
The squad leader was frightened, screamed, and then threw himself to the ground!
This time luck was not on his side!
A bullet burrowed right into the chest, then flew out through the body, leaving a bloody hole the size of a fist in the back of the heart!
Staring with a pair of big, unblinking eyes, he fell heavily to the artillery position!
The artillerymen who were still alive didn't expect that they would be attacked even though they were protected by infantry!
The Eighth Route Army that had just attacked us was being attacked by infantry and was retreating in a panic. The entire army might be destroyed at any time, and there would definitely be no chance of fighting back!
Therefore, every gunner is very relaxed and thinks that his safety is guaranteed again!
But they overlooked one thing: in addition to the Eighth Route Army that just attacked them, Lingqiu City also had many Eighth Route Army forces that they had not yet come into contact with!
The bullets flew out from the shooting hole in a fan shape, intertwining with each other to form cross fire. Staring at them and shooting, the results are self-evident!
The squad leader was killed first, followed by the gunner next to him!
In less than half a minute, more than a dozen artillerymen lost their lives...
"shot……"
The third platoon leader, who was being besieged by the Japs, stared at the courtyard separated by a wall. When he saw five or six Japs rushing in, he immediately ordered!
The box cannon in your hand has been replaced with a crooked handle!
The barrel of the gun protrudes from the shooting hole, the butt of the gun is pressed against the shoulder, the handle of the gun is held in one hand, and the pressure plate is pressed with the other hand!
The moment you give the command, pull the trigger decisively!
The two crooked guns fired at the same time, and five Japs fell on the spot! The rifleman killed two, and none of the seven Japs escaped the net, and they were all killed!
The Japanese who had not climbed in from behind the courtyard wall immediately retracted their heads to avoid the fatal bullets whizzing overhead!
The Japs squad leader is not a fool and will immediately change the battle plan!
"Machine gun fire to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army! We will circle around from both sides of the yard and approach the yard occupied by the Eighth Route Army and kill them with grenades!"
They are also constantly exploring new tactics and tactics in the battle!
Follow the order just now. As long as nothing happens, the third row will be defeated!
At this moment, gunfire rang out from behind the Japanese, and then a guard sentry rushed over!
"Sir, another Eighth Route Army group appeared on the right side of the street. The artillery position was attacked again and suffered heavy losses!"
A few words popped up in the squad leader's mind: "The artillery must not have any accidents!"
As a trump card for the success of troop reinforcements on the battlefield, once something goes wrong, not only will the reinforcement mission be unable to be completed, but there will also be problems with self-protection!
The moment his face suddenly changed, he changed his order again!
"The assault order just now is cancelled. We will not fight the Eighth Route Army in front! The troops will immediately return to the streets to protect the artillery...!"
The third platoon leader is already furious!
There is no other thought in my mind except revenge!
When he heard the gunfire behind the Japanese and saw that they had begun to retreat, he immediately shouted: "The company commander must have sent reinforcements to us!"
"Let's fight over there too and hold back the little devil in front!"
"The machine gun continues to fire here to attract the enemy's attention. You guys can go over the wall and blow it up with grenades!"
In the two courtyards besieged by the 2nd and 3rd companies, there were not many little Japs left alive!
There were corpses everywhere on the ground, with broken limbs and arms. It was very tragic!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming!" shouted the guard sentry squatting next to the shooting hole!
"Then why are you still stunned? Shoot immediately and stop them resolutely!" the deputy captain shouted!
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire soon sounded in the corner!
In the courtyard, as long as the little devils could still move, they all rolled and crawled to the courtyard wall, shooting through the shooting holes at the Eighth Route Army rushing outside!
"Woooooooo..."
The scream of artillery shells that the Japanese least want to hear is coming again!
The deputy captain's face suddenly changed. His already pale face turned even paler now, and he shouted out loud: "It's a shelling, everyone needs to take cover..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Before he finished speaking, an explosion rang in his ears!
All the guards who were still alive around him participated in the battle. There was no one to protect him. The deputy captain could only rely on his own ability to throw himself on the ground to avoid the gunfire!
But the cannonball hit so fast that before the man could move, the air wave generated by the explosion hit him and knocked him over!
During the explosion, the number of soldiers who were originally few became even smaller now!
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming again!" As soon as the two rounds of shelling ended, the shouts of his subordinates came from the smoke-filled corner of the courtyard!
"Counterattack immediately and stop them. The reinforcements will be here soon!" the vice-captain commanded, enduring the pain in his body!
It’s just that after saying this, he didn’t believe it himself!
The gunshots coming from the reinforcements were still at least 150 meters away!
Normally, this distance can be reached with a single assault, but not today!
The Eighth Route Army must have deployed layers of defense lines on the streets where they came to prevent them from coming!
"Bang bang bang..."
This time, only a few sporadic rifle shots reached the deputy captain's ears, which meant that the last crooked gun in the yard was blown up!
It is obviously impossible to stop the Eighth Route Army from all directions with just a few rifles!
"Boom boom boom..."
Soon, the sound of explosions sounded in the ears of the deputy captain. This time the shells turned into grenades. Although the sound was much quieter, it was more dense than before!
Under the gaze of a pair of desperate eyes, two grenades emitting white smoke fell from the sky and struck him blankly!
The vice-captain's eyes widened with fear on his face, and he opened his mouth to speak!
But before he could say anything, the grenade exploded...
At the Japanese brigade headquarters at the corner of the city wall, the brigade captain couldn't stand still and climbed directly to the top of the city, wanting to see the battlefield more intuitively from a higher position!!
The gunfire coming from the city was too dense and distributed on two battlefields!
You don't need to think about it to know: the reinforcements you sent out have not yet merged with the Fourth Squadron. They are being stubbornly blocked by the Eighth Route Army. They have been in one place for a long time and are still unable to move forward. They have not advanced one meter!
Hearing the explosions coming from the direction of the 4th Squadron becoming more and more intensive, the captain's face turned even more ugly!
As a veteran on the battlefield, it is easy to distinguish grenades and artillery shells by the sound of explosions!
The right hand holding the telescope trembled, and he shouted in despair: "Bagh Ya Road, the 4th Squadron must have started a close combat with the Eighth Route Army attacking them, otherwise there would not be such a dense explosion of grenades!"
The adjutant's face turned pale, and he also looked desperate: "They will not send out a signal for help unless they have to. By then, they will definitely have few troops! The Eighth Route Army has been attacking them with mortars just now, and the casualties must be huge! Let's start now.
In close combat, their remaining troops will definitely not be able to hold on for long!"
At this time, a piece of news came that made them even more desperate!
A second lieutenant from the Third Squadron rushed over panting, with panic on his face: "Sir, our Third Squadron was blocked and besieged by the Eighth Route Army, and we suffered heavy casualties!"
"The artillery team is gone. If we want to continue to reinforce the fourth squadron, we need more artillery support!"
"Baga, by the time your reinforcements arrive, the Fourth Squadron will be gone!" the captain yelled!
Then he gritted his teeth and ordered with murderous intent: "The reinforcements will retreat immediately, the artillery will fire, and all the mortars will be concentrated on me to blow the battlefield of the Fourth Squadron to the ground!"
"The Fourth Squadron is definitely hopeless. If that's the case, then we will destroy more Eighth Route Army troops at the expense of them!"
"Let the attacking Eighth Route Army die with them and be buried with them!"
