Predator Reborn

Chapter 153 Encirclement and Annihilation War (4)

At this time, the Japanese were less than 50 meters away from the position, but the soldiers still did not fire.

Seeing that they had an opportunity, some Japanese soldiers straightened up slowly and accelerated their attack. The first company commander kept staring at the Japanese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and then shouted loudly until their faces could be clearly seen.

Tao: "beat".

After hearing the order, the soldiers felt as if they had been electrocuted. They immediately straightened up, aimed as quickly as possible, and pulled the trigger. A burst of gunfire passed, and the proud Japanese felled dozens of corpses again. However, in the face of the intensive volley of gunfire,

When the attacking Japanese saw the Chinese army's position close at hand, they did not stop. Instead, they continued to accelerate their charge in the face of bullets. At the same time, the attacking formation became more dispersed.

"Grenade," the company commander shouted loudly. Then the soldiers threw out the delayed grenades one after another. "Boom, boom, boom...ahhh..." The explosion of the grenades and the wails of the Japanese reached the position.

However, the first company commander did not give them a chance to breathe. "Comrades, charge," the first company commander took the lead in rushing out of the trench.

"Kill..." Under the leadership of the company commander, the soldiers jumped out of the trenches and loaded the bayonets on their rifles while charging.

It only takes a few seconds for the soldiers who charge quickly to cover a distance of tens of meters. The "killing" soldiers vent their anger on the bayonets in their hands, and thrust the shining bayonets into the Japanese who have not yet reacted.

…Suddenly, the sound of bayonets clashing and soldiers shouting to kill were heard everywhere in front of the position…

The Japanese squadron leader escaped the delayed grenades of the soldiers because of the cover of a soldier beside him. However, his luck did not seem so good next. At this time, sporadic grenade explosions continued to sound on the position.

, the gunpowder smoke has not cleared yet, but the Chinese army on the opposite side has already rushed over with rifles with fixed bayonets, without giving the imperial army any time to react.

Some soldiers were even unloading bullets from their rifles in accordance with infantry drills when they were stabbed to the ground by sudden bayonets. Looking at the position, there was only less than a small group of soldiers resisting several times the number of Chinese soldiers.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers were proficient in bayonet skills. After the Japanese squadron leader chopped down a Chinese soldier, he no longer had the courage to let his soldiers resist.

"Quickly, retreat, retreat." The Japanese squadron leader shouted loudly. Facing the Japanese army that was slowly leaving the battle, the first company did not pursue it because the casualties of the soldiers were also very huge, and every soldier was working very hard.

I no longer have enough energy to continue chasing the Japanese.

"Quickly, clean up the battlefield and retreat." The first company commander shouted as he looked at the bloody battlefield. Soldiers, after all, have a bounden duty to obey orders. Although the soldiers with red eyes who had been killed still wanted to continue the pursuit, but, listen,

After receiving the order, he still stopped and began to clean the battlefield and gather the wounded.

The commander of the first regiment, Sun Xingbang, had been standing on the position observing every move of the first company. When he saw the first company carrying the wounded back to the position, Sun Xingbang immediately issued a combat order, "The first company retreated to the rear to rest, and the second company came forward." After issuing the order,

Sun Xingbang still shed tears when he saw the incomplete company. The entire company had nearly 130 troops, and now there are less than 90 people left, and several of them were completely killed by their comrades.

Lifted down from the position.

Sun Xingbang looked at the first company commander who clenched his fists and hurried over: "First company commander, don't be discouraged. The first company is good. It deserves to be the sharp knife company of our regiment. After this battle is over, the commander will replenish the strength of our regiment."

The first company must be chosen first, and go down and let the soldiers have a good rest!" Sun Xingbang patted the shoulder of the first company commander in front of him, and after listening to the commander's words, the first company commander shed tears even though he was a tough man.

According to statistics, a total of 46 soldiers were killed and 6 were seriously injured. One heavy machine gun was damaged and 3 mortars were destroyed. It was equivalent to a battle and consumed a quarter of the combat effectiveness of the entire battalion.

However, looking back at the Japs, the losses were no less than those of the First Regiment. Only 56 people from a squadron that participated in the attack came back. Needless to say, the remaining 120 people must have all been shattered in the attack just now. This is not a big loss.

What worries the captain the most, and what worries the captain the most, is the heavy weapons of the brigade. There are only 9 heavy machine guns left in a squadron, but fortunately there is still enough ammunition, but the mortar squadron is not so good.

Now there are only 9 mortars left, but there is not much ammunition left, and the most they can do is maintain an attack like the one just now.

"Baga," the captain looked at the retreating squadron leader and cursed loudly. At the same time, he also deleted a few slaps. After venting the anger in his heart, the captain stopped. "Take the rest of your squadron.

The people below will be organized into a squad, and you can be the squad leader. I hope you won’t disgrace the imperial warriors next time." The captain said coldly.

"Hi, Your Excellency Captain, you must live up to your humble position and live up to the trust of the captain." The squadron leader endured the severe pain on his face that was red from being beaten, and replied with his head lowered.

In this way, the attack by the Japanese Third Battalion temporarily stopped. It seemed that both sides were recharging their strength and waiting for the next more violent attack.

Although the battle on the First Company's side was very fierce, the battle on the Fourth Company's side was very dull. The Japanese logistics and baggage brigade had to draw down a lot of troops to replenish the main force which had suffered serious losses due to constant attacks.

Alliance, so there are only more than 600 people left.

When the captain learned that the contact between his brigade and the main force in front was cut off by the Eighth Route Army, he also thought about opening up the contact, so he sent a small team of troops to conduct a tentative attack. However, a small team had not yet come into contact with the Chinese on the opposite side.

The army was eaten up by nearly half of its strength. Seeing the strong fighting power of the eight people in front, the captain of the baggage team no longer had the courage to risk death with the remaining troops in his hands, so he relied on the favorable terrain of Baicaoyan to prepare to stand and wait.

aid.

As a result, the group's position fell into silence for a while. The soldiers were squatting in the trenches, quietly wiping the weapons in their hands, cleaning the wounds on their bodies, gnawing on wartime rations, and waiting for a more brutal battle.

.

The battle of the Second Regiment in Changle Village was not so easy. It can be said that the Japanese First Battalion was the only one that did not suffer losses when it was attacked, and it was equipped with a mountain artillery squadron and a mortar squadron.

The artillery squadron was also the most powerful in terms of firepower. When the captain learned that Changle Village in front was also occupied by the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't help but became furious. When had the majestic Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire been suppressed and beaten by the weak Eighth Route Army?

Therefore, under the order of Wing Commander Okamoto, the First Battalion deployed almost all its heavy equipment. Facing the mountain artillery shells continuously fired by the Chinese army on the opposite side, the artillery squadron was responsible for the task of artillery cover and suppression, and fought with the artillery of the independent brigade.

The shooting started, but the accompanying mountain artillery squadron concentrated all its mortars and bombarded the position outside Changle Village for ten minutes. By the time the bombardment was over, the outer positions of Changle Village were almost covered by artillery fire.

It was all floating soil blown up by artillery shells, and even the trenches that the soldiers had worked so hard to dig were damaged in many places.

Fortunately, the commander of the guard company was alert at that time. Except for leaving one squad of soldiers on guard, the rest of the soldiers hid in the village to avoid the Japanese bombardment. Otherwise, with the strength of more than 200 soldiers from two companies, they were

In the fierce shelling just now, I don’t know how many people can survive in the end.

"Quickly, repair the position quickly and prepare to fight immediately." Looking at the tragic scene in front of him, the guard company commander immediately shouted to the soldiers who were still in a daze. The soldiers who were awakened immediately reacted, entered the position, and reinforced the trenches.

Minutes later, the Japanese attack formation appeared in the sight of the soldiers. A squadron of Japanese soldiers formed a skirmish line and slowly walked towards the position under the cover of four heavy machine guns.

Looking at the Japs' four heavy machine guns that were spitting out flames, and then looking at the four reinforced light machine guns of his company, the company commander shook his head, "Quick, take cover, don't let the Japs' machine gunners hit you, wait until the Japs leave.

Let's start firing after we enter. Our guard company has a lot of pistols. We will get mixed up with the Japanese for a while and see what use their heavy machine guns are. They all obey my order and then start firing." The company commander whispered to the soldiers in the trench.

.

After receiving the order, the soldiers crouched down one after another, and some even squatted directly in the trenches, letting the enemy's heavy machine gun bullets fly above the trenches. Looking at the calm and composed soldiers, the company commander couldn't help but nodded, as expected of the entire regiment

He is an elite person who can always keep his composure no matter what situation he faces.

Seeing that there was no retaliatory gunfire from the opposite position, the Japanese leader of the attacking squadron gradually became more and more courageous and began to order the soldiers to straighten up and speed up the charge. After 100 meters, the company commander did not issue an order to attack.

The Japanese's attack speed was getting faster and faster, reaching 60 meters. The company commander still did not issue an order, but the Japanese almost started running.

Seeing that the Japanese had entered the attack range of the grenade, the company commander suddenly straightened up and shouted "fight". At the same time, the company commander also set a shell gun in his hand to a combo mode. A shell gun is like a light machine gun.

, swept towards the Japanese attacking formation. At the same time, the four machine gunners did not bother to set up the light machine gun. They directly held the light machine gun to their chests, constantly holding the fire, as the cheerful sound of the light machine gun sounded.

, the Japanese who were already 30 meters in front of the position were shot and fell down. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get through the rain of bullets in front of them.

The squadron leader looked at the imperial soldiers who continued to fall in front of him, and finally stopped the soldiers from continuing to charge, and began to lie on the ground and shoot at the soldiers. However, the guard company commander did not give her any chance.
