Predator Reborn

Chapter 262: Counterattack on the Highlands

"Boom, boom, boom..." When the Eighth Route Army's first artillery shell fell on the Japanese marching column, the entire Japanese army was stunned. Everyone stared blankly at the place where explosions continued to occur. Even the most basic concealment was not possible.

I forgot. Because since they invaded China, they have been advancing all the way. When did they encounter such intensive artillery fire?

"Baga...are these the artillery shells fired from there...are they the defenders of Shunping County? How could they knock down the artillery shells so far away..." At this time, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Sakata, was equally surprised.

Looking at the scene in front of me.

"Your Excellency, Captain, no, ah, Your Excellency, Captain, we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army..." At this time, the soldiers who had moved to the first trench, under the cover of the powerful sound of artillery fire, started to

Various weapons were fired, and bullets were fired at the puppet soldiers and little devils on the road.

"Baga, how could this happen? It's impossible. Where did the Eighth Route Army get so many troops and such powerful artillery fire? The first brigade immediately notified the first brigade of fire cover, organized defensive positions, artillery, and artillery, and immediately began to fight back.

Destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions..." Colonel Sakata, who was pulled off his horse by the guards around him, roared and ordered to the chief of staff beside him.

"Hey... I'm here to do my humble job..." The chief of staff turned around and began to order the radio operator who had been following him to prepare to send the report.

However, he didn't know that just when the artillery regiment fired the first shell, the Japanese troops who occupied the four commanding heights of Shenxian Mountain were already facing a life-and-death situation. The four battalions ambushing behind the commanding heights were already on various favorable terrains,

Under the cover of the hidden traffic ditch, they slowly reached a place less than fifty meters behind the Japanese army, and were ready to attack.

At this time, Xu Bin, commander of the first battalion of the Second Regiment of the Quick Response Brigade, who was responsible for offensive and counterattack, was holding the detonator in his hand tightly, waiting for the best opportunity.

Just as the Japanese troops of a strengthened squadron on the top of the mountain were concentrating on staring directly in front of them, staring at the ridges on both sides of the main force's marching column, the warrior gate had slowly climbed to the counterattack position when the Japanese troops were not paying attention.

.At this moment, a violent explosion sounded on the other side of the road, on the road where the Japanese army was marching, and the attack finally began. A smile appeared on the corner of Xu Bin's mouth, and without any trace of melancholy in his right hand, he pressed the button fiercely.

He fired the detonator in his hand.

"Boom..." A violent explosion sounded, and even the soldiers of the first battalion lying 50 meters away from the mountain clearly felt the vibration of the earth. The explosion of nearly 100 kilograms of explosives and the huge shock wave shook the rocks on the mountain.

Blocks of soil were thrown high into the sky. And when the Japanese troops on the top of the mountain were preparing to suppress the countless Eighth Route Army troops that suddenly appeared below the mountain, and cover the main force's breakout...

There was a sudden violent explosion under his feet, followed by earthquakes. In the middle of the ring fortification built by his squadron, a huge fireball rose from the ground at the moment of the explosion. The scorching flames were huge.

The shock wave of the air wave immediately overturned the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground. Many soldiers lost consciousness at that moment, and at the same time they paid the heaviest price for their invasion of China. As for those who were closer,

Even the artillery squad just above the explosion point was torn to pieces at the moment of the explosion. There was no chance to even scream.

"Comrades, charge..." As the rocks on the top of the mountain and broken limbs continued to fall on the backs of the soldiers lying on the ground preparing to attack, Xu Bin threw down the gun in his hand.

The detonator stopped admiring the huge fireworks on the top of the mountain. He took out his gun from the holster, loaded the bullet, jumped up, and was the first to rush towards the high ground that was already in chaos.

"Charge...kill..." After receiving the order to charge, nearly 400 soldiers from two companies were already gearing up and ready for battle. Almost at the same time as battalion commander Xu Bin jumped up, they followed closely.

He jumped out of the trench, held up the rifle with the bayonet already fixed in his hand, and rushed towards the high ground less than 50 meters away.

At the same time, the two companies responsible for the counterattack had a total of six light machine guns. According to previous battles, they lined up and charged at the front of the team, spitting tongues of fire at the little Japanese who were in chaos. Six dense tongues of fire.

They continued to mow down the Japanese soldiers who had not yet reacted to the explosion one after another. In less than half a minute, the soldiers rushed to the high ground.

At this time, a reinforced squadron of Japanese troops on the high ground had just experienced a violent explosion. Nearly a hundred soldiers boarded the aircraft and went home to see their Emperor. In addition, six light machine guns were densely packed just now.

And the crazy strafing once again wiped out about half of the defenders guarding the rear of the position.

"Baga... there are enemies behind us, how could this happen? Fight back immediately on Bagh Ya Road..." It was not until the soldiers rushed to the high ground with their rifles in hand that the Japanese squadron leader suddenly discovered that from his own

Nearly a battalion of Chinese troops suddenly appeared behind them. Facing the Eighth Route Army falling from the sky, and thinking about the sudden explosion that had just occurred, and the fireball that suddenly appeared in the middle of the fortifications, the remaining more than a hundred Japanese troops suddenly turned pale with fear.

Each one of them showed a look of fear and panic.

"Comrades, go ahead, kill the remaining little Japs and occupy the position..." Seeing the Japanese troops falling from the sky, he was petrified. Battalion Commander Xu Bing seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, regardless of his usual discipline.

, raised the shell gun in his hand and fired continuously at the Japanese soldiers who were less than ten meters away in front of him. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to his guns in an instant. At this time, some soldiers charging at the front of the team were already fighting with the small soldiers.

The devils started to make contact.

"Baga...what are you still doing? Prepare to fight with the bayonet and withdraw bullets..." Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had rushed in front of him with his rifle drawn, the Japanese squadron leader finally realized. The enemy in front of him was not a heavenly soldier or general.

It was his enemy, the Eighth Route Army. So he shouted loudly and ordered the imperial soldiers who were still in a daze.

"Baga, withdraw your bullets and prepare to fight with the bayonet..." At this moment, the remaining more than a hundred Japanese soldiers finally woke up in this bloody environment and began to withdraw their bullets, preparing to fight with the bayonet in accordance with the infantry drill.

However, at this time, the soldiers had already rushed in front of the Japanese army. Who would pay attention to so many rules on the battlefield, waiting for you to launch the bullet, and then stabbing after being prepared.

Anyway, this kind of situation is absolutely impossible for Liu Hua's independent division. Seeing the little Japs busy repelling bullets, Xu Bin couldn't help but get excited. This was a good opportunity to catch the Japs off guard. Thinking of this, Xu Bin

He threw away the rifle in his hand and picked up a Type 38 rifle with a bayonet attached.

"Kill..." Xu Bin didn't show any melancholy. The sharp bayonet stabbed directly into the chest of the Japanese soldier in front of him who was grabbing the bullet and repelling it... "Ah, Baga... your... is not a samurai.

.." The little devil who was stabbed to the ground stared at Xu Bin with a murderous look in front of him, hesitantly said, and then closed his eyes. Obviously, the little devil who had just been killed was

The Japanese were very dissatisfied with Xu Bin's sneak attack.

"Damn it, we are not samurai to begin with. I am the Eighth Route Army. Comrades, please show no mercy to me. No one will be left alive...kill..." Xu Bing took out the bayonet inserted into the Japanese soldiers and shouted loudly

He shouted and rushed towards another little devil not far away.

The soldiers behind him were trained in the special environment of the Independent Division. Like his battalion commander Xu Bin, he did not have any melancholy. He raised his rifle with a bayonet in his hand and stabbed the unprepared Japanese army.

This moment was the first collision and stabbing between our army and the Japanese army. Because the Japanese army was in a hurry to withdraw bullets, they were completely unprepared for the stabbing. However, our army took advantage of the sudden attack. Therefore, the entire

The troops suffered almost no losses and killed dozens of little Japs.

"Baga... kill them..." Seeing dozens of imperial soldiers being killed by the cunning Eighth Route Army before they were fully prepared, the Japanese squadron leader standing at the back of the team couldn't help but curse.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers who had been prepared around him to quickly form a battle formation and rush towards the oncoming Eighth Route Army.

"Chichi..." There was a sound of bayonets stabbing into the chest. This time the two sides suffered casualties. But facing the well-trained little devils, the soldiers suffered significantly greater casualties. "Kill..." Faced with

With the little devil's superb stabbing skills, the soldiers did not flinch at all. They shouted and rushed into the Japanese battle formation. Immediately, a fierce hand-to-hand combat began.

After several attacks, the Japanese army at this time had less than a hundred troops left. However, the one hundred Japanese troops were all front-line infantry of the Japanese army, and they were troops that had participated in actual combat and were powerful.

With their stabbing abilities, they formed groups of three, and then each group of three formed a large attack formation, constantly charging into the battlefield, making it impossible for the soldiers to resist.

And looking at the two companies of the first battalion, after the charge and the first impact of the Japs, there are now less than 300 troops who can stand up. Facing the Japanese attack formation of three people, although

Each group was surrounded by at least one squad of soldiers. However, facing the superb stabbing skills of the Japanese army, ten people had no way of starting. Often when a soldier rushed over, he would be immediately killed by the Japanese bayonet.

To pick out.

In less than five minutes of fighting, nearly a platoon of soldiers had fallen. However, the Japanese army had lost less than a squad. The loss between the enemy and ourselves reached an astonishing 1:3. They watched as they continued to fall to the ground in front of them.

Soldier, battalion commander Xu Bin's heart was bleeding. What an excellent soldier, but he was lost in this kind of battle that consumed soldiers.

"Damn it, little devil, I'll fight you..." Battalion Commander Xu Bin couldn't bear it anymore. With red eyes, he just held the rifle in his hand and prepared to rush towards a Japanese attack formation.

However, at this moment, the guard who was just following him was really blocking him tightly.

"Battal Commander, you can't go. The instructor said that no matter what happens, you are not allowed to go to the battlefield..." The two guard soldiers holding shell guns just hugged themselves.

"Damn it, what time is it? Get out of my way, or I'll kill you..." Seeing the soldiers falling under the Japanese bayonets one after another, the battalion commander, who usually never got angry, looked at the man in front of him.

The two guards cursed loudly. Finally, with the battalion commander's constant struggle, Xu Bin broke free from the guards' hands, picked up his rifle, and rushed to the battlefield.

"Kill..." Xu Bin rushed to the flank of a Japanese attack formation. Taking advantage of the Japanese army's attention, he was attracted by several soldiers in front. He roared loudly and stabbed the Japanese soldier's chest with the bayonet in his hand. "

Shit..." A stream of blood gushed out from the wound where Xu Bin pulled out the bayonet and sprayed all over his face.

Just when Xu Bin was about to wipe the blood that rushed into his eyes with his sleeve, a exclamation reached his ears. "Batalion Commander, be careful, get down." As an experienced commander, Xu Bin responded to his soldiers

He had full trust in his comrades, and when he heard about his level, he threw himself to the ground without any hesitation.

"Bang bang" two gunshots rang out, and suddenly, a huge heavy object pressed on his back. At this time, Xu Bin, whose eyes had just been blocked by blood, finally saw clearly what was on his back. A little devil stared

With a pair of big eyes, he stared at himself with a look of disbelief on his face...and on his chest, two blood holes were constantly bleeding out.

"Batalion Commander, are you okay..." At this time, two guards quickly ran over, helped Xu Bin who was lying on the ground, and asked. It turned out that just now, Xu Bin's eyes were covered with blood.

, a little Jaap saw the opportunity and rushed over with his bayonet drawn, wanting to kill the Eighth Route Army commander. But as he knew, all this was seen by the guards who were following closely behind him to protect him.

After his battalion commander lay down, two rounds of bullets were fired. Under the inertia of his rapid running, the little devil's body fell on his body.

"Damn, it's really unlucky... What are you doing standing still? I'm fine, kill the Japanese quickly..." Seeing the guard in front of him supporting himself and looking at the high ground where fighting was still going on around him, the battalion commander hurriedly ordered

Dao. Ignoring the objections of a guard beside him, he snatched the twenty gun from his hand. He fired a burst at the attack formation of a little Japs not far away from him. A series of gunshots rang out, and the three little Japs lay on the ground.

On the ground.

"Bang bang bang..." Just when the sixth kid fell under his own gun, the shell gun in his hand remembered the sound of "ding dong". It turned out that the bullets in the pistol had been shot by him continuously.

All lit up.

"Bullets...fast..." Xu Bin shouted loudly...Soon, a guard just behind him handed over a new box of magazines. Xu Bin immediately continued to load and shoot...

.Finally, Xu Bin's gunfire attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield. Seeing the little Japs falling under the battalion commander's gun one after another, the other company and platoon commanders also began to show off and dropped their rifles.

, pulled out the pistol from his waist and started shooting at the Japanese soldiers.

A battalion, with nearly five or six pistols, joined the battle. The situation on the battlefield immediately changed drastically. The little devils and the attack formations collapsed one by one under the attack of several pistols. The soldiers needed

What they did was to make up for the wounded Japanese soldiers, or to attack the Japanese soldiers who were alone... In less than a few minutes of fighting, there were only a few Japanese squadron leaders left in the whole highland.

Ten devils.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is cunning, hold on, the reinforcements from your Excellency the captain will be here soon..." He looked at the Eighth Route Army that was slowly approaching him, and then looked at the Eighth Route Army officers holding pistols, the Japanese army

The squadron leader couldn't help feeling frightened, but he continued to encourage the soldiers around him.

However, his encouragement did not have any effect. Under the joint attack of the Eighth Route Army's pistols and bayonets, fewer and fewer imperial troops were able to fight, and the imperial army's range of activities was quickly compressed to the high ground by countless Eighth Route Army troops.

On the edge. Looking at each of the elite imperial troops, unwilling to die under the pistols of the Eighth Route Army. Then looking at the eyes of those fallen imperial troops, they seemed to be accusing themselves of improper command...

"Baga...disengage immediately...retreat quickly...quickly..." The Japanese squadron leader finally gave up resistance and ordered to less than half a squad of Japanese soldiers surrounding him.

As for the remaining dozens of little Japs, they all seemed relieved after hearing the order to retreat. They didn't care about the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer around them, or the retreating formations in the infantry drill. After hearing the order,

He turned around quickly and ran towards his main force at the foot of the mountain.

Of course, Xu Bin did not miss the opportunity to beat the drowned dog. When he saw the Japanese army retreating to his main force, he looked at a simple trench dug by the Japanese army along the edge of the highland. There was a heavy machine gun that was not damaged. It was shocking.

It was there. Without saying a word, Xu Bin led the guards into the trench quickly, picked up the machine gun, and was ready to shoot. Similarly, the guard beside him also cleverly took out a plate of bullets from the ammunition box next to him.

"Da da da..." A crisp machine gun sound sounded. The dense bullets swept towards the retreating Japanese soldiers. Each little Japanese was hit by the dense bullets, shot in the back, and fell in front of the position. And this

At that time, the precise shooting accuracy and long-distance range of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun were fully demonstrated here. When the dozen or so people participating in the Japanese army had rushed to a distance of 300 meters down the mountain, they were still being shot by Xu Bin.

hit by a heavy machine gun.

It wasn't until the last kid fell on the hillside 400 meters away from the position that Xu Bin reluctantly took off the trigger of the heavy machine gun. In fact, he didn't know that in the desperate strafing he had just done, he almost fired it.

Ten bullet plates were fired. If this happened in a normal battle, this heavy machine gunner would have been dismissed by his superiors long ago.

"First company, strengthen the position and prepare to prevent the Japs from counterattacking. Second company cleans the battlefield and rescues the wounded. Quick, split up and carry out the tasks immediately..." Seeing that there were only more than half of the soldiers left in front of him, the battalion commander no longer had the ability to operate the heavy machine gun just now.

Excited, but commanded with a heavy face.

At this time, not only Xu Bin's first battalion, but the other two battalions of the second regiment responsible for counterattacking all the highlands also received good news. In other words, in less than ten minutes from the beginning of the entire battle, the strength of a Japanese brigade had increased from

disappeared from their establishment.
