Four hundred and seventieth chapters ready to fight
"Damn, these Japs are not simple." The monk couldn't help but say after seeing the Japs' intensive shelling.
The monk has experienced many battles in the Independent Regiment and has seen many Japanese artillery, but this is the first time he has encountered Japanese artillery with such high accuracy. If the Japanese artillery he encountered in the Independent Regiment before were so powerful,
, then the independent group will not be so easy when dealing with the Japanese.
"Monk, you will lead the soldiers to continue to resist the Japanese attack, and I will kill the Japanese artillery!" Liu Gen told the monk beside him.
The monk nodded vigorously. He understood how important it was to kill the Japanese artillery. If the Japanese artillery continued to bombard unscrupulously, it would put too much pressure on the defense. Even if Liu Gen and others insisted on defending here with their physical bodies,
There is no way to withstand the enemy's artillery shells.
"Genzi, don't worry, I know what to do." The monk said solemnly.
Liu Gen smiled, turned around and left with two soldiers. The two soldiers were carrying two boxes of mortar shells, which they had snatched from the artillerymen of the previous Japanese team. Two boxes of shells were not much, but they were enough to kill them.
The Japanese artillery even said it would take out some of the Japanese firepower points.
Liu Gen was very relieved about the monk. He believed that with the monk's ability, there would be no problem in resisting the Japanese attack.
If the monk did not have such ability, he would not be valued by Li Yunlong. In the battle, unless the monk sacrificed his life, there would be no problems in defense. Therefore, Liu Gen was very relieved when he left, without any worries at all.
He knew that the rest was up to him. Whether they could take out the Japanese artillery and firepower points would determine whether they could hold on long enough.
The Japanese artillery was still carrying out shelling. They did not think that Liu Gen and others, who were less than fifty people, would have mortars. Even though the firepower displayed by Liu Gen and others was sufficient, these Japanese still did not care about Liu Gen and others.
Their fighting power and their own firepower were not weak, and they were enough to successfully suppress the firepower of Liu Gen and others.
With the shelling and heavy machine gun fire, the Japanese could see that the firepower of Liu Gen and others on the Cross Ridge had been successfully suppressed. With the firepower suppressed, the difficulty for the Japanese soldiers to rush to the Cross Ridge was greatly reduced.
At this time, Liu Gen led two soldiers to find a suitable bombardment angle, leveled the land, adjusted the mortar angle, and after taking the shell from the soldier behind him, he directly sent the shell into the barrel. Bang.
With a sudden sound, the artillery shell flew directly out of the barrel and hit the location of the Japanese artillery.
Liu Gen did not stop his movements. He kept taking the shells handed over by the soldiers and fired them out as fast as possible. In Liu Gen's hands, the maximum rate of fire of the mortar was fully utilized, and it took less than a minute.
In a short time, the two boxes of artillery shells were directly fired by Liu Gen.
In less than a minute, the enemy's artillery and heavy machine guns were all under shelling. More than a dozen shells were fired, and the Japanese below were stunned. Liu Gen's shelling speed was too fast.
It was a little faster. Based on the suppressive power of artillery fire displayed by the Eighth Route Army on Cross Ridge, these Eighth Route Army should have several mortars in their hands.
"Let's go! Let's retreat." After all the shells were fired, Liu Gen directly ordered.
Without waiting for the two soldiers to respond, Liu Gen took the initiative to pick up the hot mortar and rushed towards where the monk and others were. The two soldiers were a little moved when they saw Liu Gen like this. The mortar had just fired.
After firing so many shells, the barrel had already become hot. Liu Gen didn't frown at all from such a hot mortar, as if he couldn't feel any pain at all.
At the foot of the cross ridge, at the temporary headquarters of the Japanese Infantry Squadron, the leader of the Japanese Squadron, Minato Nakano, looked angry. He was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army artillery. He had no preparations, and the entire infantry squadron also had no preparations. When Minato Nakano learned that the infantry squadron was under attack by the Eighth Route Army,
After suffering losses after the artillery attack, his face became even more ugly.
Minato Nakano did not expect that just because he was unprepared for a moment, his infantry squadron would suffer such heavy losses. All the mortars and heavy machine guns were killed, and even the light machine guns suffered some losses. Such losses made Minato Nakano a little bit agitated.
It was unacceptable that the Eighth Route Army, with less than fifty men, could cause such heavy losses to them.
When did the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness become so strong? Minato Nakano was a little confused. He had never heard of a small unit with such a strong combat effectiveness in the Eighth Route Army! As the squadron leader of the Japanese Infantry Squadron, Minato Nakano knew that there were forces within the First Army.
A special agent team, all composed of elite Japanese soldiers.
But even so, the results achieved by the special agent team are very unsatisfactory, at least not as high as they should be!
But now, discovering that the Eighth Route Army also has such a small elite unit, Minato Nakano is hesitant. He doesn't know whether he should continue to order the soldiers to attack! The casualties of the infantry squadron are not large now, and the combat effectiveness has not been greatly affected.
, the only loss was in firepower, which made it much more difficult for the infantry squadron to suppress the Eighth Route Army's firepower.
Even so, Shuimen Nakano was still confident enough to kill Liu Gen and others on the Cross Ridge. Even though the Eighth Route Army's firepower was very good, Shuimen Nakano clearly knew the situation of the Eighth Route Army and knew that the supply of ammunition within the Eighth Route Army was somewhat scarce. On the Cross Ridge
, the Eighth Route Army's firepower was very strong, but it also meant a large consumption of ammunition.
Minato Nakano did not believe that Liu Gen and others had brought enough elixirs. In his opinion, Liu Gen and others only needed to organize several attacks to exhaust the ammunition of Liu Gen and others. The only thing that made Minato Nakano hesitate was that he
We don’t know how many losses the infantry squadron will suffer if we organize several attacks.
After a moment of silence, Minato Nakano made a decision. With the combat effectiveness displayed by this small Eighth Route Army unit, as long as he could kill this small Eighth Route Army unit, he could accept any losses in the battle!
Soon, the Japanese infantry squadron organized another attack, attacking again and again. These Japanese seemed to be tired.
Liu Gen and others on Cross Ridge were under great pressure in the face of the Japanese's constant attacks. In order to block the Japanese's crazy attacks, they could only use their submachine guns to suppress the Japanese. Constantly using submachine guns, Liu Gen and others'
Ammunition was getting less and less. After the Japanese organized five or six attacks, the submachine guns in the hands of Liu Gen and others were all exhausted.
Knowing that the submachine guns in the hands of the soldiers had run out of ammunition, Liu Gen was helpless, but he had no choice. Several Japanese attacks had already made Liu Gen understand the intentions of the Japanese. He had no choice but to stop the soldiers.
They used submachine guns to fight back.
The Japanese attack is very fierce. If you don't choose to use submachine guns, the Japanese soldiers will easily rush to the cross ridge. Once Liu Gen and others are entangled by the Japanese soldiers, more Japanese will rush up crazily, and then Liu Gen and others will be attacked.
People stay on Cross Ridge!
"Comrades! Change your guns! Without submachine guns, we can still stop these little devils!" Liu Gen wiped the dust off his face and shouted loudly.
The monk and others were speechless. Their eyes were firm, and they silently replaced the 38 rifles on the side. At the same time, they installed the bayonets, and they were already ready to fight the Japanese!
