Predator Reborn

Chapter 321 The end of Itagaki Division (18)

It turned out that while the second battalion was engaged in a fierce battle, Liu Hua, who was guarding the headquarters, had also been paying attention to this most intense battlefield. When he saw his two main battalions in the first line of defenses, they were

The Japanese army was very happy after causing a lot of casualties.

And just when the Japanese army divided into three groups and launched another attack, just when they were about to capture the first-line position, Liu Hua wisely ordered the soldiers on the front line to retreat. Because, right between the first and second defenses, there was still

There is a secret weapon arranged by Liu Hua.

"Commander, why are you retreating...Although the Japanese army has already attacked, with the remaining strength of my second battalion, I will definitely be able to kill hundreds of little Japs again." He retreated to the second-line position and watched helplessly as his first

When the fortifications were occupied by the Japs, the second battalion commander Zhou Qiang ran to the regiment leader Wang Benqing and asked dissatisfiedly.

"Battle Commander Zhou, this is not my order. This is an order personally issued by the division commander. Now that we have withdrawn, we must immediately count the casualties and those who need treatment should be sent to the rear for treatment and organize the troops. Although the Japanese army has occupied us

However, as long as they do not break out of our encirclement, their attack will not stop." After hearing Zhou Qiang's dissatisfied questions, the regiment leader Wang Benqing pointed to the general headquarters a few kilometers away and said.

"Yes, Commander..." Zhou Qiang, who was still a little dissatisfied when he heard that the order to retreat was actually given by the division commander himself, immediately closed his mouth and replied loudly. He turned to face the few who were following him.

Several company commanders assigned tasks.

At this moment, the Japanese attacking troops, after the soldiers retreated on their own initiative, easily occupied the position that the Second Battalion had voluntarily abandoned without paying any price.

"Reporting to your Excellency, Captain, our army has successfully occupied the Eighth Route Army position. All the Eighth Route Army on the position have retreated to the second line of defense. Please give the Commander the next battle order." Just as the little devil had just occupied the position, he had not had time to cheer.

The chief of staff of the wing who led the team ran to Captain Yamada with excitement on his face and reported excitedly.

"Yoshi, it took five minutes less than the time specified by the division commander. It's very good. Report to the division commander immediately." After hearing the report from his subordinates, Colonel Yamada looked at the watch on his arm and was satisfied.

He nodded and ordered excitedly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. It's just a matter of whether the troops will hold on to the spot or continue to attack the second line of defenses of the Eighth Route Army..." The chief of staff nodded in agreement and continued to ask.

"Nani, of course, it is an attack. He ordered the troops to go all out. Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity before the retreating Eighth Route Army stabilized the front, he immediately launched a new round of attack, took down the Eighth Route Army's second line of defenses, and opened a breakthrough." Captain of the regiment.

Colonel Yamada ordered excitedly.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain..."

"Da da da... kill me..." Immediately, the light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army that had just moved to the front line position opened fire again after receiving the order to attack. As the machine guns opened fire, the Japanese troops gathered near the front line position.

Thousands of Japanese troops jumped out of the trenches at the same time and launched a brigade-sized group charge towards the second line of defenses more than 100 meters away.

"Comrades, beat me hard. You must not let the little Japs get close..." Although I don't know why the division commander voluntarily gave up the front-line position. However, as the commander of this line of defense, Captain Wang Benqing knew that even if he put himself

Even though all three regiments were exhausted, they could not let these little Japs occupy their second line of defenses. Seeing the little Japs crossing the front line of trenches, they wanted to charge their second line of defenses. The regiment leader Wang Benqing did not hesitate at all.

He ordered loudly.

"Da da da..." As Wang Benqing issued the order, all the remaining light and heavy machine guns of the entire third regiment, almost at the same time, sprayed tongues of fire at the Japanese army a hundred meters away. The dense firepower network,

In one fell swoop, the dozens of little Japs charging at the front were swept to the ground.

Of course, when the soldiers opened fire, they also exposed all their machine gun positions to the Japanese machine gunners. As the light and heavy machine guns on the position fired continuously, more than a hundred little Japanese who moved to the front line position were fired.

The machine guns also began to slowly turn their muzzles, preparing for fire suppression. In the end, in the face of several times the Japanese army's firepower density, the soldiers' firepower slowly became thinner.

At the same time, the Japanese infantry also immediately changed their offensive tactics. In addition to continuing the frontal attack, they deployed the strength of two squadrons to carry out a roundabout outflank just like the previous attack. Faced with the intensive firepower of the Japs and the attack from three sides, they stood firm

On the position, the Third Regiment, with less than two battalions left, immediately felt tremendous pressure.

Although every soldier fought tooth and nail to resist, no matter what, his flesh and blood body could not stop the enemy's bullets. The casualties of the soldiers were increasing, and the enemy was getting closer and closer.

Of course, nothing that happened on the entire position escaped the eyes of Liu Hua who was far away at the headquarters. When he saw nearly a thousand little Japs, they were about to enter the huge minefield carefully prepared for them by his engineering camp.

, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Liu Hua's mouth.

"Order Commander He Zhiyuan to immediately lead the remaining two battalions to reinforce the Third Regiment and be ready to launch a counterattack at any time to retake our front-line positions. Order the engineer battalion to prepare for detonation. As soon as the little Japs walk into the minefield, they will detonate immediately.

.." Liu Hua did not put down the telescope in his hand, but loudly ordered to the chief of staff behind him.

"Yes, Commander..." After listening to Liu Hua's order, Li Qing, as the chief of staff, was not only surprised but also excited. What he didn't expect was that his division commander was so thoughtful. Between the two fortifications,

There was even a minefield arranged. In the expectant eyes of Chief of Staff Li Qing, the order was quickly issued to the ears of the two commanders.

It was less than a kilometer from the headquarters to the second-line position of the Third Regiment. After receiving the order, He Zhiyuan completed the kilometer in less than five minutes. With two battalions and nearly a thousand soldiers

The human troops arrived at the second-line defensive position that had become a ruin.

"Commander Wang, I am He Zhiyuan, commander of the 1st Division and 1st Regiment. The division commander ordered two battalions of our troops to come for reinforcements and obey your command. In addition, the division commander asked me to tell you that 50 meters to 100 meters ahead of the position

The division commander arranged a huge minefield in the distance. The division commander ordered us to block the Japs in this area as much as possible. After the engineer camp detonated the minefield, our troops immediately launched a counterattack to take back the mines we had just given up.

Frontline position." He Zhiyuan came to Wang Benqing, whose face was filled with smoke and said.

"Haha, no wonder the division commander just asked us to give up our front-line position. It turns out that he has been prepared for a long time. Lao He, we don't have anyone to listen to whose command. If there is anything, let's discuss it. Now the machine gun firepower of the little Japanese is too fierce

The only machine guns left in our three regiments can't suppress them at all. You first put all the light and heavy machine guns you brought into the position... Save the rest for a while to use in the counterattack. How about it." After hearing this, He Zhiyuan

The group leader Wang Benqing, who was already very anxious, immediately smiled and suggested to He Zhiyuan in front of him.

"Okay, I agree. Chief of Staff, immediately order all machine gunners to enter the position, quickly. The remaining people are ready for battle and ready to attack at any time." He Zhiyuan immediately nodded in reply and gave a loud order to the regiment chief of staff behind him.

.

"Yes, commander..." Soon, more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, led by the regiment's chief of staff, quickly entered the position and joined the battle group. With the addition of more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, just now

The soldiers, who were still suppressed and beaten by the little devil, immediately began to fight back.

As the light and heavy machine guns began to spit out tongues of flame, the Japanese machine gunners, who had been very arrogant just now, were immediately stunned by the sudden firepower of dozens of light and heavy machine guns. Each of the machine gunners, before they realized why, suddenly

He was shot to death with a dense rain of bullets and fell to the ground in a pool of blood. The light machine gun that had been roaring just now also fell to the ground like a sick old man.

"Comrades, beat me hard. I must block all the little devils 50 meters in front of the position." Wang Benqing, the regiment leader who was directing the battle back and forth in the trenches, saw that the Japanese firepower was finally suppressed by himself.

.Finally breathed a sigh of relief and shouted orders to the soldiers lying in the trench.

There were no flying bullets above their heads, and the accuracy of the soldiers' shooting was obviously much better. With the sound of several volleys of guns, the little Japs who had been advancing just now, after losing dozens of the little Japs who were rushing at the front,

, lying on the ground one after another, and started shooting at each other with the soldiers. What they didn't expect was that they were lying on top of a dense minefield. A minefield that could explode at any time.

"Order the engineer battalion to detonate the minefield immediately..." The order from the division commander Zhang Hua came from the division headquarters.

"Boom boom boom..." As the blasters were pressed one by one, a series of explosions immediately sounded on the position that was crawling with Japanese soldiers just now. One explosion after another, one after another.

A bomb exploded. In an instant, the place 50 meters in front of the position was shrouded in thick smoke generated by the explosion.

You know, in order to better kill the effective forces of the Japanese army, the engineering battalion, according to Liu Hua's order, laid thousands of various mines, artillery shells, and explosive packets on this position of less than a few square kilometers.

The scene of these mines exploding at the same time not only shocked Liu Hua who was far away at the command post, but also shocked the soldiers who were lying on the ground to block the Japs. It also shocked the Japanese commander Yamada who was supervising the battle in the rear, and the hopeful divisions.

Nagaitagaki Seishiro.

"Bagya Road..." Seeing his nearly a thousand troops, they were instantly enveloped by a dense explosion. Captain Yamada, who has rich combat experience, immediately understood what was going on, and at the same time he also realized that his men

The fate of more than a thousand imperial soldiers. I couldn't help but yell to the sky, knelt on the ground, showed a look of despair, and slowly drew out his command knife...

Similarly, the division commander Seishiro Itagaki, who originally thought that his way out of the encirclement was about to open, was also stunned by the dense explosions. When he saw through the telescope, his nearly a thousand troops disappeared in an instant.

When he was caught in a sea of ​​​​fire and explosions, Itagaki Seishiro's hands began to tremble, and at the same time, a look of despair slowly appeared in his eyes. His eyes, which were full of confidence just now, were completely overwhelmed by this violent explosion at this moment.

Completely shattered.

"Tick-tock...tick-tock... Comrades, charge..." As the last explosion sounded, a loud charge bugle sounded on the battlefield. Immediately afterwards, two

Under the cover of intensive firepower, the soldiers of the battalion rushed out from their respective starting positions. Holding rifles with bayonets in their hands, they rushed towards the minefield not far away where the smoke had not cleared.

After rushing into the minefield full of gunpowder smoke, what came into view of the soldiers were not only the broken limbs and arms of the little Japanese, but also corpses, wounded soldiers who kept wailing, and seriously wounded people who kept squirming.

However, there was no hesitation among the warriors who had passed the test of blood and fire. Especially for these little devils who were inferior to beasts, there was even less pity.

Bright bayonets were stabbed into the little Japanese's chest by the soldiers without hesitation. Bullets were fired into the little Japanese's head by the soldiers.

Of course, the soldiers had not encountered resistance. They had to pass through this dense minefield, and it was impossible to kill all the nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers. There were still nearly a squadron of Japanese soldiers who survived by luck. One of them was

Under the command of the captain, the corpses of fallen soldiers were used to build a relatively strong circular fortification on the hellish battlefield.

More than a hundred little Japs, relying on a defensive fortification piled with corpses, opened fire on the soldiers who were rapidly harvesting the lives of the Japanese soldiers.

"Bang bang bang...ta da da..." A burst of messy rifle sounds, mixed with the gunshots of several light machine guns, were heard. The dozens of soldiers rushing at the front were caught without any precautions.

The sudden bullet knocked him to the ground and he fell into a pool of blood.

"Quick, get down." Seeing the soldiers at the front falling into a pool of blood like wheat, the two battalion commanders commanding the troops to charge quickly ordered loudly. Soon, nearly a thousand soldiers

The human soldiers lay down neatly on the ground and began to shoot at the little devil in front of them.

More importantly, less than a minute after the attack, the regiment commander He Zhiyuan discovered the enemy's situation and called in artillery support from the artillery regiment.

"Boom boom boom..." A violent explosion exploded in the Japanese army's ring fortification. The defense fortification, which was not particularly strong in the first place, was immediately blown away amidst the bursts of explosions. There were piles of equipment.

The Japanese corpses in front of the soldiers fell down one after another driven by the huge air wave. Immediately, the dozens of little Japs lying on the corpse fortifications had their entire bodies completely exposed to the soldiers' guns.

There was a burst of intensive volleys of gunfire. Only a few of the dozens of Japs jumped on the opportunity and lay down on the ground to escape the dense rain of bullets. The remaining Japanese soldiers, without exception, were hit by the flying bullets.

Sent back to his hometown.

"Comrades, throw grenades, charge..." Seeing that the Japanese defense line had been destroyed, the two battalion commanders seized the opportunity and ordered loudly. Hundreds of grenades were thrown at the orders of the two men.

come out.

"Boom boom boom..." A burst of grenade explosions sounded. The smoke generated by the explosion of grenades covered the figures of the soldiers very well. Under the cover of the smoke of the explosion of grenades, the soldiers were led by their respective commanders.

He jumped up from the ground and charged towards the front line not far away. At the same time, while charging, he threw grenades forward to create smoke.

"Kill..." Soon, after suffering a certain amount of casualties, the soldiers rushed to the edge of the first-line position. At this time, the entire first-line position, after the explosion just now, had been completely covered with a layer of

The corpses of the little Japs. And the more than a hundred little Japs who survived by chance were mostly injured at this time. The uninjured little Japs held out their rifles with bayonets in their hands, looking at them closer and closer with ferocious eyes.

of warriors.

"What are you still doing? To avenge the dead comrades, give them all to me..." Seeing that the soldiers quickly surrounded the remaining more than a hundred little Japs, a battalion commander picked them up.

He hit a crooked machine gun on the ground. He rushed into the encirclement and shouted loudly at the soldiers.

"Da da da..." A tongue of flame spurted out from the machine gun in the battalion commander's hand. As the gunfire rang out, the shocked soldiers finally reacted. They turned on the remaining little Japanese in the trenches,

He pulled the trigger in his hand. In less than a minute, more than a hundred little Japs fell to the muzzles of hundreds of soldiers. At the same time, the front-line positions that had just been abandoned less than half an hour ago also fell.

returned to the hands of the soldiers.

"Clean up immediately, clean up all the corpses of the little devils, and collect all weapons and ammunition. Quickly..." To eliminate all the Japanese troops on the position, the regiment leader He Zhiyuan and his guards have arrived at the ruins of the first-line position, facing the two

The battalion commander ordered loudly.

"Yes, commander..." The two battalions, except for leaving the necessary security forces for vigilance, all the remaining people joined the ranks of cleaning the battlefield. The little devils attacking from the other three directions followed.

The reinforced brigade led by Captain Yamada was destroyed, all stopped and retreated quietly.

"Baga, I want to kill Lord Shan Lian with my own hands. The lives of more than a thousand imperial soldiers have been ruined in his hands. Bagya Road..." Seeing that I have strengthened my brigade and added more...

Two squadrons of more than 1,500 troops were completely lost in a burst of explosions. The division commander Seishiro Itagaki pulled out his command sword and slashed at everything around him, while cursing loudly.
