Predator Reborn

Chapter 296 The End of the Street Fight

"Da da da..." A burst of dense tongues of fire spat out amidst Wang Qiang's roar. Before the four little devils on the two machine gun positions could react, they were hit in the back by the dense rain of bullets.

, lying motionless on the ground. The two light machine guns that were spitting out bullets happily just now also fell crookedly on the ground. And the machine gun position taken care of by the three riflemen, after a round of bullets and a few bullets from the soldiers,

Under the combined attack of two hand grenades, the light machine gun was blown to pieces.

"Comrades... charge... eliminate the Japanese grenadiers..." Seeing that the only three light machine guns that posed a threat to him had been taken care of, deputy squad leader Zhou Qiang did not hesitate at all. He held his arms in his hands.

The light machine gun rushed out from his hiding place and began to rush towards the grenade position next to the machine gun position. At the same time, the three soldiers behind him also followed the deputy squad leader's light machine gun and rushed towards the grenade position of the little devil.

.

Under the joint attack of light machine guns and grenades, the four soldiers, after paying the price of two sacrifices, finally wiped out all six Japs on the grenade position. Looking at the 12 Japs in front of them

Seeing the corpses and the seized weapons and ammunition, Wang Qiang became excited.

"Xiao Zhou... the sacrifices of comrades are all worth it... Look, a total of 12 little Japs died under our guns. Go, hide all these seized weapons and ammunition, absolutely not

Let the little devil use it again after he comes back, and seize the time. After the little devil discovers the movement of the machine gun position behind him, he will definitely come back to support him immediately. "Looking at the soldier Xiao Zhou who was sad because of the loss of his comrade, Wang Qiang comforted him. At the same time, he pointed

He pointed at the three grenade launchers and two light machine guns in front of him and ordered.

"Yes, Squad Leader Wang, I will move right away. I will also want a light machine gun by then, and I will avenge my fallen comrades..." Xiao Zhou stopped crying, wiped the tears on his face, and said fiercely,

Start collecting weapons and ammunition on the ground.

"Okay, let's go find the Japs to avenge them..." After the two of them hid the machine guns and grenade launchers, one of them held a light machine gun. Following the gunshots around them, they chased the twenty or so Japs.

.In the end, only deputy squad leader Wang Qiang was left in the entire combat squad. Because he was injured, he was rescued by soldiers from another company. The remaining 13 soldiers, together with the squad leader, were all killed.

However, their death in battle brought great results. A standard Japanese squad of 54 people, after a heroic battle of a squad of soldiers, together with the Japanese squad leader, only 18 people were left. More importantly, this Japanese squad

All the heavy weapons were seized by deputy squad leader Wang Qiang. As for the remaining 18 soldiers, soldiers from a platoon rushed to reinforce them because they lost their heavy weapons. After paying the price of a squad's casualties, they were all killed.

Annihilated.

"Captain, the gunfire in the village has almost stopped, and only a small number of remnants of the enemy are left to resist. The guard company responsible for blocking the Japanese reinforcements at the entrance of the village has repelled two Japanese squadron-sized charges. In addition, the village

Under the impact of the Japanese breakout troops, the entire guard company was attacked from both sides. Although it was not threatened by Japanese heavy artillery, the bombardment from grenades and mortars was still very violent. According to the latest situation just reported from the reconnaissance platoon, the guard company is now

There are only less than 45 soldiers left who can fight. About 100 soldiers fell under the enemy's guns. The position at the entrance of the village may be captured by the enemy at any time. We must retreat immediately, otherwise the soldiers in the village

We will be attacked from both sides... As a result..." Seeing that the battle in the entire village was coming to an end, the chief of staff who had been paying attention to the blocking battle at the entrance of the village quickly reminded him.

"Okay, send a signal flare immediately and order all soldiers to withdraw into the tunnel immediately and prepare for transfer. Let the third battalion prepare to help transport the wounded... Hurry, time will not wait for me. It is already dark now. I plan to help the little Japanese after dark.

Come for a while?" Xie Guohua, the group leader, ordered loudly.

"Bang bang bang..." Immediately, the entire Gong Village heard the sound of three sharp signal bombs. The soldiers who were searching for the remaining enemies in the village and seizing the trophies stopped one after another. Under the command of commanders at all levels,

The bodies of their comrades, the wounded, and the captured trophies were sent into the tunnel and handed over to the soldiers of the third battalion who had rested for half an hour.

In less than five minutes, the Eighth Route Army that had just been active in the village disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The guard company that stood guard at the entrance of the village also quietly laid a large number of booby traps on its position.

He quietly got into the tunnel and evacuated the village.

With the assistance of nearly 300 soldiers from the Third Battalion, the bodies of each soldier were moved through the tunnels to the woods outside the village. Piles of seized trophies were also moved out... It took more than an hour.

Time, the entire transport process was completed. At this time, a brigade of Japanese troops came to reinforce, after stepping on dozens of landmines and booby traps laid by the guard company at the entrance of the village, they finally paid the price of casualties of a squadron.

Set foot on Gong Village, which has become a ruin.

"Baga...how could this happen? Why are there so many corpses of imperial soldiers...You, lead your squadron into the village immediately to investigate...quickly..." As soon as he walked into the village, he saw the whole alley.

The road was covered with the remains of soldiers of the Imperial Army of Japan. The weapons and ammunition of the Imperial Army had indeed been looted. The Japanese captain who led the team couldn't help but exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain..." Although the squadron leader was very reluctant, he still nodded helplessly. He led more than a hundred soldiers under his command, holding loaded rifles, and headed into the village.

Go.

In less than five minutes, I saw the squadron leader panting and bringing a second lieutenant with a face covered in smoke and an injured arm in front of the group leader.

"Report to the captain, we have completed the search. Basically all the corpses of the imperial army are in the village. This is Second Lieutenant Zhiping, the captain of the third squad of the second battalion. We found it in a pile of rubble. He knew that the village had just been

Everything that happened." The squadron leader pointed to the second lieutenant next to him and said.

"Nani... They are all corpses... How is it possible? This is a half-corps of elite imperial troops with more than a thousand people. How can it be possible that the whole army is destroyed? Baga... tell me, what happened in the village just now?

What happened?" After hearing what his squadron leader said, the captain's face was full of disbelief and he asked the squad leader in front of him.

"Report to the captain, what the squadron leader just said is true... We were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army after we entered the village... The cunning Eighth Route Army actually set up countless tunnels and street fighting fortifications in the village... They relied on their familiar

The fortifications and terrain, and our street fighting, killed and wounded the warriors of the Japanese Empire everywhere. Countless Imperial soldiers were killed before they even saw their enemies. More than a thousand elite Imperial soldiers, together with their captains

Your Excellency, everything is in pieces..." the squad leader said with a sad face.

"Baga...bastard, how is that possible?" The captain raised his head and shouted desperately.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the top priority right now is to send troops to clean the battlefield and find as many survivors as possible on the battlefield. Report this matter to Your Excellency, the Captain and the Division Commander..." reminded the Chief of Staff of the brigade next to me.

road.

"Asshole...Chief of Staff, order all troops to enter the village..., I will personally report this situation to the regiment commander and division commander behind me, and start taking action now..." The captain nodded and ordered.

"Hi... Your Excellency, Captain... The first squadron will attack from the front, the second squadron will attack from the right wing, the third squadron will attack from the left wing, and the fourth squadron will serve as a reserve... Search as much as possible

Remaining enemies, search and rescue the surviving imperial soldiers, start taking action now..." the chief of staff ordered to several squadron leaders around him.

"Hi..." Looking at the various squadrons going away, the captain shook his head. With his personal guards, he rushed towards the wing headquarters and division headquarters behind him.

"Reporting to your Excellency, the captain... The Eighth Route Army in Gongcun has been repelled by our army, but..." Seeing the captain, the captain didn't know how to tell the captain this shocking news.

"Yo Xi, you are worthy of being a warrior of the empire. I would like to ask for merit for you from the division commander..." Hearing that Gong Village had been occupied by the imperial army, the captain seemed not to have heard the two words behind the captain.

, patted the captain on the shoulder excitedly and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain... But... But the Third Captain, together with the elite imperial troops of his six squadrons, were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in Gong Village, and almost the entire army was destroyed... The Captain was also shattered.

..." the captain replied in a low voice.

"Captain Yu Sui.... What, what did you say, say it again?" The commander suddenly realized and asked in disbelief.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain... Our second battalion entered the village and was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. After half an hour of bloody battle with the Eighth Route Army, almost the entire army was destroyed, and the captain of the second battalion was also shattered." Captain

He bit the bullet and said it again.

"Nani... How is it possible... This is more than a thousand elite imperial troops... When did the Eighth Route Army have such a strong combat effectiveness, and it actually wiped out an entire brigade of ours in less than half an hour... Impossible...

.Impossible..." the captain said in disbelief.

At this moment, a communications soldier following the captain came over with a casualty report that had just been tallied.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, please take a look at the casualty report that my Chief of Staff just compiled." The battalion captain took the casualty report from the hands of the communications soldier, glanced at it, and handed it to Colonel Yuichiro Nagano, the Wing Commander.

"Read..." Nagano Yuichiro waved his hand and struggled to say a word from his mouth.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. After preliminary statistics, of the 965 Imperial Army soldiers from the second brigade that just entered the village, except for 48 who survived due to injuries, the remaining 917 were all broken into pieces. In addition, not a single body was found in the entire Gong Village.

The corpses of the Eighth Route Army. Moreover, all the weapons and ammunition of the imperial army that entered the village were looted. During the attack on the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village, the third brigade killed 86 people and seriously injured 12 people...Yu Sui, the captain of the second brigade, and his six

All the famous squadron captains are in pieces..." The squadron leader held a thin telegraph newspaper with trembling hands and read.

"Bagh Ya Road..." The commander of the regiment looked angry. He snatched the telegram from the captain's hand and angrily tore it into pieces.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain... However, although the Second Battalion was almost completely destroyed, I believe that with the combat effectiveness of the Second Battalion, they must have caused very heavy casualties to the Eighth Route Army. From the sudden retreat of the Eighth Route Army just now, we can see that

The Eighth Route Army must not be able to withstand greater casualties, so it quietly retreated from the tunnel." Looking at the telegram that had been torn into pieces and the angry look on the face of the regimental commander, the captain reminded in a low voice.

"Baga...I will definitely take revenge...Chief of Staff, in the battle to capture Gong Village, how many imperial soldiers were killed and wounded in total by our army...I want to report the casualties of the entire regiment to the division commander.

The situation requires the division commander to be more vigilant in future battles." The commander slowly calmed down and asked the chief of staff behind him who was also shocked.

"Hey, captain, since the battle just started, our vanguard squadron has 121 soldiers. In the battle to attack the village entrance, the first battalion lost a total of two squadrons of troops, totaling 382 soldiers of the Yushang Empire, plus the soldiers who were in the village just now.

In the street fighting, our army once again crushed 1,003 people. A total of 1,506 people were killed, and about a small group of soldiers were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness," said the chief of staff.

"Baga...the cunning Eighth Route Army actually caused the Imperial Army to lose two brigades in less than three hours. Chief of Staff, you must remember our current enemy. Our 11th Infantry Regiment,

Sooner or later, I will avenge this blood feud, and I, Nagano Yuichiro, must kill the supreme commander of the Eighth Route Army to comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers here." Colonel Nagano Yuichiro pulled out his command sword and knelt on the ground and swore.

"Hey, your Excellency, Captain, we will definitely take revenge..."

When the commander of the regiment, Colonel Yuichiro No, told the division commander at the rear the shocking news, the division commander Seishiro Itagaki was also shocked. What he didn't expect was that attacking an Eighth Route Army soldier with inferior weapons and equipment had not yet been possible.

Entering their defense area actually cost his division one-tenth of the casualties. However, fortunately, there were more than 10,000 troops behind him, and all the heavy weapons were intact. Division Commander

Itagaki Seishiro quickly recovered from his shock.

"Order that the 11th Infantry Regiment clear Gong Village immediately. The entire division will camp and rest in Gong Village tonight. The division headquarters is located in Gong Village. In half an hour, I will lead the regiment headquarters into Gong Village.

Nagano-kun, do you have any questions?" the division leader asked.

"Hi, your Excellency, division commander, the 11th Regiment guarantees to complete the mission..." Nagano Yuichiro replied excitedly when he saw that the division commander didn't even think about asking questions himself.

"Yo Xi... Nagano-kun, don't be discouraged. We are now encircling and suppressing the independent division of the Eighth Route Army. Sooner or later we will encounter this Eighth Route Army. When the time comes, I will definitely hand over the task of destroying this Eighth Route Army to your regiment and let you

Revenge." Itagaki Seishiro patted Nagano Yuichiro on the shoulder and consoled him.

"Hi, thank you for your concern, Division Commander Shu. I will definitely live up to my humble position..." Nagano Yuichiro replied excitedly again.

"Yoshi, Nagano-kun, go ahead, we will enter the village in a moment..." Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said.

In this way, after paying the price of two more brigades, the Japanese army finally occupied Gong Village, the throat area into the base area. However, although the little devils paid the price of 1,500 deaths. Similarly, the independent regiment that held on also paid a heavy price.

At this time, the surviving soldiers of the entire independent regiment were in the dense forest about ten miles away from Gong Village, burying the remains of their fallen comrades with grief.

"Captain, the results and losses have been calculated. Do you want to take a look first?" Although everyone won the battle, almost no one in the entire independent regiment was happy. The chief of staff took a copy of the statistics.

The report came to the head of the group, Xie Guohua, who also looked sad.

"Well, first tell me about the street fighting in the village..." Xie Guohua nodded and sat side by side on the grass with the chief of staff.

"Well, commander, although our soldiers have been trained in street fighting for a period of time. However, these little devils are veterans who have been on the battlefield after all, and the soldiers fought very hard. The two battalions of our independent regiment, in half an hour,

In the street fighting, almost all of them were maimed. Among them, the first battalion killed 354 people and seriously injured 52 people. Now there are less than 100 people who can continue to fight. The second battalion killed 389 people and seriously injured 34 people, and only a few people are left.

to 100 people. The regiment guard company lost 105 people, 13 were seriously injured, and the remaining 42 people can continue to participate in the battle... The entire independent regiment lost a total of 848 people in the street battle just now. In addition to the third battalion's village entrance blocking battle, the artillery

The company lost strength, and the entire independent regiment lost a total of 1,185 people, and about 150 people were seriously injured and lost combat effectiveness." The chief of staff replied in a low voice.

"It's so big... Alas, the price paid for this street battle is too high... If the commander finds out, he won't have to shoot me. No matter, we paid such a high price, what will be the result of the troops' victory?

How?" the leader asked, lowering his head.

"The specific results cannot be calculated, but we made a rough calculation and found that the Japanese army sent a total of two brigades of troops, and almost all of them were lost. In other words, at least 1,500 Japs died in the hands of the soldiers. Also, in

During the street fighting, we seized 9 mortars, 6 heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, more than 420 rifles, various bullets, grenades, and artillery shells. These ammunitions could not bear the losses in this battle, and even some

"Rich...In addition, we killed one Japanese major, six captains, and a large number of other Japanese officers," the chief of staff introduced.
