Predator Reborn

Chapter 356: Mantis Catching Silkworms (Part 2)

Immediately, without the drag of the puppet troops, artillery squadrons and heavy machine gun squadrons, the entire Japanese army's march speed immediately accelerated a lot. Nearly 4,000 little Japanese soldiers, pulled by 12 tanks and 24 cars, marched in the dark night

In it, like a sharp sword, it quickly penetrated into Zhongyang Town, which was more than ten miles away.

Finally, after half an hour of rapid march and detours, nearly 4,000 Japs finally surrounded the entire Zhongyang Town. However, although at this time, each of the 4,000 imperial soldiers under his command

They were all panting from exhaustion due to the long rush march. However, what made Colonel Nakamoto happy was that the thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers in Zhongyang Town had not yet retreated. The thousands of Eighth Route Army troops were at this time.

Staying in the small Zhongyang Town, he was tightly surrounded by himself in the town, waiting to be eliminated by the heroic imperial soldiers.

"Yo Xi, Your Excellency, Captain, we have now surrounded the entire Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army is now digging trenches outside Zhongyang Town in a hurry, preparing to resist the attack of our imperial army. Your Excellency, Captain, have you ordered the troops to be in the tank squadron?"

Under cover, while the Eighth Route Army is in chaos, catch them off guard and rush into the town." Seeing the Eighth Route Army soldiers digging trenches outside the town, the regiment chief of staff quickly suggested.

"Chief of Staff, if we attack now, we can catch the Eighth Route Army off guard. However, you have overlooked a problem. Even if we attack now with the tanks in our hands, we can only cause minor casualties to the Eighth Route Army facing us. However, if the remaining

After thousands of the Eighth Route Army troops were driven into Zhongyang Town, our Imperial Army had to face arduous street fighting. This gave our Imperial Army soldiers almost no advantage. Therefore, we still

It is better to wait until the trench excavation of the Eighth Route Army is completed, and after our artillery arrives, try our best to kill and injure the effective forces of the Eighth Route Army on the outskirts of Zhongyang Town." Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the regiment, shook his head and rejected the chief of staff's request to fight.

However, what Colonel Nakamoto didn't expect was that his refusal to attack gave the Eighth Route Army outside the town an extra ten minutes to build unfinished fortifications. During these ten minutes, the troops were in the main trench.

On the side, countless anti-gun holes were once again dug to avoid the bombardment of small-caliber artillery fire by the Japanese.

Fifteen minutes later, while the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto, kept looking at the watch on his arm, the follow-up troops of the Japanese and puppet troops finally arrived at the outskirts of the town as expected by Colonel Nakamoto, and surrounded Zhongyang Town.

Thousands of little Japs successfully joined forces. Several squadron leaders, together with a division commander and three regiment commanders of the puppet army, came to the front of the commander, Colonel Nakamoto.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Captain, the troops have arrived at Zhongyang Town on time to rendezvous with the main force. Please, Your Excellency, Captain, arrange combat missions for us." A group of about ten officers reported simultaneously to the Captain in front of them.

"Yo Xi, you came on time. However, the time is tight now, and there is no extra time for you to rest. I hope you don't mind. I promise that when we eliminate the Eighth Route Army in front of us, I will personally report to the brigade

Your Excellency, please give me a week's leave to have a good rest..." Looking at the dozen or so officers in front of him who were breathing heavily, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto, said with a face filled with relief.

"Hi, it is our honor to work hard for the Great *** Empire. Please assign the mission to your Excellency, the captain..."

"Yoshi, now I order..." In response to everyone's answers, the commander of the wing, Colonel Nakamoto, nodded with satisfaction. He shouted loudly to the more than ten officers in front of him. And when he heard the word "order"

At that moment, more than a dozen officers in front of them, like a conditioned reflex, stood neatly in front of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto.

"Wang Sang, you have three regiments of troops. Now each of your regiments is assigned a squadron of imperial soldiers, a heavy machine gun squad, and a mortar squad. There are three regiments in the north, south, and east of Zhongyang Town.

direction, launch a feint attack on the Eighth Route Army in front of you, attract the Eighth Route Army's firepower, and kill as much of the Eighth Route Army's effective forces as possible. As for the entire feint attack unit, you will personally command it." Looking at the flattering puppet army commander in front of him, Lian

The captain, Colonel Nakamoto, ordered loudly.

"Hi, thank you for your help, Captain. I, Wang Guotian, will definitely live up to the trust of Lord Dazuo. I will try my best to kill the effective forces of the Eighth Route Army and attract the firepower of the Eighth Route Army." I heard that the captain in front of me actually commanded thousands of people.

The power was given to him, and more importantly, among the thousands of people, there were nearly a thousand imperial troops. Thinking of this, the division commander Wang Guotian was immediately flattered and said with excitement on his face.

"Yo Xi, Wang Sang, I still have great trust in your military command ability. I leave it to you, Wang Sang, to carry out the feint attack in three directions." Seeing that he only gave a little sweetness, the kingdom in front of him

Commander Tian cried with gratitude and expressed his loyalty to him. Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the alliance, looked proud and continued to praise him.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain..." Wang Guotian's face was full of excitement.

"Yoshi, order, all the remaining artillery and heavy machine guns will immediately build positions at the front of the position. The troops will be ready to attack in ten minutes. Chief of Staff, immediately gather the imperial soldiers who have retreated from three directions. As for our first

For the first round of attacks, leave it to the Kwantung Army brigade. Let the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side have a taste of the power of our Imperial Kwantung Army." Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the regiment, nodded and ordered to the chief of staff of the regiment in front of him.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. However, Your Excellency, Commander, does the attack by the Kwantung Army's First Battalion require a tank squadron to be sent out for some cover?" the Chief of Staff asked loudly.

"In order to reduce the casualties of our Imperial Army, send a small team of three tanks. Let the Tuba Road on the opposite side also have a taste of the power of our Imperial Army's tanks," the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto, ordered with contempt on his face.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Under the orders of the squadron leader, the remaining dozens of mortars of the mortar squadron were lined up at the front of the position, ready to attack. The remaining

The three heavy machine gun squadrons have a total of 36 heavy machine guns. They are also lined up less than 500 meters opposite the position, doing a good job of covering at any time.

"Order all mortars to carry out intensive shelling for ten minutes to destroy the firepower points of all surface positions on the Eighth Route Army position opposite." Behind him, he saw mortars with their muzzles raised, and heavy machine guns with blue light.

And three tanks ready to attack at any time. A smile of victory appeared on the corner of the commander's mouth, Colonel Nakamoto, and he gave a loud order to the artillery squadron commander behind him who was waiting for orders.

"Everything..." A dull sound of mortars coming out sounded, and then bursts of fire flashed from the artillery position behind the Japanese position. At the same time, a sharp whistling sound reached the soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the position heard the roar without any hesitation. Under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, they got into the nearest artillery hole.

Just when the entire trench became empty in an instant, dense artillery shells had already fallen. In the empty trench, violent explosions occurred. However, the constant explosions had a negative impact on the soldiers hiding in the anti-gun caves.

However, there was no damage at all. Unless the hit rate of the little devil's shells was too high and it landed directly at the entrance of the artillery tunnel, it would cause certain casualties to the soldiers inside.

In the reinforced underground bunker headquarters, one can feel the air waves and hot flames generated by the continuous explosion of artillery shells outside the headquarters. As the commander-in-chief of the frontier, Zhou Guohua is holding a telescope and standing at the lookout of the headquarters. A pair of eyes tightly

Staring at the impact point of the Japanese artillery shells, he issued the latest combat order to the combat officer behind him, Staff Wang, who was always ready to convey orders: "Staff Wang, immediately notify the artillery group behind our position, calculate the location of the enemy's artillery position, and prepare

Be prepared to fire at any time. However, all artillerymen are prohibited from firing a single shell without my order."

"Yes, leader..."

The Japanese army's ten-minute shelling ended quickly. Although the Japanese artillery fire was very intensive, the small-caliber mortar shells did not cause much damage to the soldiers. There were only a few shells, which luckily landed on the defensive line.

The opening of the artillery hole caused dozens of casualties to the soldiers.

However, under the intensive shelling of the enemy, there were still many landslides in the entire trench. As the smoke dissipated from the position, whistles sounded from the position that had just been covered by the enemy's artillery fire.

Hearing the whistle, one soldier after another quickly drilled out of the artillery hole, entered the position, and began to repair the damaged trenches. At the same time, a series of light and heavy machine guns were also quickly set up in the trenches by the soldiers.

Above, quietly waiting for the arrival of the little devil.

"Buzz buzz..." At this moment, the roar of an engine passed through a distance of several hundred meters and reached the ears of every soldier in the trench. Commander-in-chief Zhou Guohua heard the roar of the tank.

After the sound, I quickly raised the telescope in my hand. I saw three tanks with black smoke, and about a squadron of Japs, slowly rushing towards the position. More importantly, by attacking the small enemy,

Zhou Guohua knew very well the Japs' military uniforms and equipment. The Japs in this squadron were the most elite Kwantung Army in the Japanese army.

"Haha, the little devil really thinks highly of us. In the first tentative attack, three tanks and a squadron of the Kwantung Army were dispatched. Staff Wang conveyed an order to the battalion commander in front, and according to the original plan, the little devil's

Put three tanks in for me. As for the mission of his first battalion, it is to eliminate the Kwantung Army in a squadron behind the three tanks." Seeing the three tanks that were about to enter the range of his troops, Zhou Guohua turned to the combat officer behind him.

commanded.

Just when Staff Officer Wang was about to go out to convey the order, he saw that his attacking troops were about to enter the shooting range of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side. Dozens of Japanese heavy machine guns serving as cover, in response to the commander's order, fired out one after another.

There were tongues of fire. Dozens of heavy machine guns formed an airtight firepower network on the entire frontal battlefield. In this sudden and dense firepower network, dozens of soldiers lying in the trenches, unable to dodge,

At this moment, he was hit by flying bullets and fell in the trench behind him.

"Damn, you little devil, fuck your grandma." Seeing the bodies of dozens of soldiers being hurriedly carried down by the health team, the battalion commander clenched his fists tightly and cursed bitterly. At the same time,

, walking back and forth in the trenches, while running, giving the latest orders to the restless soldiers around him: "Comrades, all take cover and stay safe for me. Without my order, no one is allowed to do anything."

Everyone should hold their head steady..."

As the soldiers waited arduously, the roar of the three tanks of the Little Devils became louder and louder. At the same time, the dozens of heavy machine guns serving as cover were also firing more and more skillfully. The entire barrage was almost tense.

Close to the edge of the trench where the soldiers were hiding. Several soldiers, just to observe the enemy's situation, just stretched out half of their heads, and the half of their heads that were shot were shattered by the dense rain of bullets, and their brains jumped.

land.

"Damn it, the kid actually brought so many heavy machine guns. It seems like the kid has spent all his money. He ordered the artillery group to keep destroying the enemy's artillery positions except for a part of the target, which remained unchanged. The remaining

Immediately point the enemy's heavy machine gun position at the lower part. When the battle begins, we must not let the little devils fire so unscrupulously. Order the first battalion commander to immediately fight back after the artillery group fires. We must

Fight off the Japs' attack." Seeing the remains of dozens of soldiers being carried to the next battalion, almost all of them were shot in the head. The regiment leader Zhou Guohua ordered loudly, but his eyes never showed

He left his own telescope but did not leave the little devil who was getting closer and closer.

The little Japanese from a squadron closely following the three tanks, under the cover of a dense firepower network of heavy machine guns, encountered almost no resistance. The troops moved from a place 400 meters away from the Eighth Route Army position to 300 meters away.

, and then to 150 meters now... However, even at such a short distance, the Eighth Route Army position opposite was still quiet, without a trace of movement.

Seeing that he was less than 150 meters away from the Eighth Route Army position, and according to the current charging speed of his troops, it would only take less than half a minute at most for a squadron of his elite Kwantung Army to rush into the Eighth Route Army position.

Carry out the hand-to-hand combat that the Imperial Army is best at. The Japanese squadron leader, who was originally worried about this Eighth Route Army *** division, at this time, his nervous heart began to slowly relax. At the same time, the corner of his mouth

There seemed to be a smile of victory.

"Yo Xi, warriors of the Kwantung Army, the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side must have been overwhelmed by our intensive artillery fire and bullets. Warriors, for the honor of the soldiers and for victory, kill everyone, rush forward, and use our

With the bayonet in your hand, destroy the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side and let them have a taste of the power of our Kwantung Army..." Seeing the Eighth Route Army position close at hand but without any movement, the Japanese squadron leader drew out his command knife and pointed it behind him

More than two hundred soldiers gave loud orders.

"Kill..." More than 200 elite Kwantung Army soldiers looked at the squadron leader's command knife symbolizing attack and shouted loudly. More than 200 people followed closely behind the three tanks.

The cautious attack turned into a trot. Because at this time, in their eyes, the troops on the Eighth Route Army position more than a hundred meters away in front of them seemed to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered in their hands.

At the same time, just as more than two hundred Kwantung Army soldiers were shouting and speeding up their charge, the three tanks at the front of the entire offensive formation seemed to hear the cheers of the Kwantung Army soldiers behind them. A huge roar.

There was a roar, and the three tanks increased their horsepower at the same time and rushed towards the approaching 1st Battalion position.

"Haha, it seems that the Kwantung Army of the Little Japs is very arrogant! But they have found the wrong target. We are the famous *** division who specializes in fighting the Little Japs. Order the artillery group to open fire immediately, destroy the enemy's artillery positions, and suppress

The enemy's heavy machine gun firepower." Seeing more than two hundred Kwantung Army soldiers trotting and charging faster and faster, the regiment leader Zhou Guohua ordered loudly.

"Everything..." A dozen or so artillery positions distributed throughout Zhongyang Town emitted the dull sound of mortars ejecting from their chambers almost at the same time. However, the fierce sound of gunfire on the battlefield

Under the cover of the enemy, the sound did not attract anyone's attention. Just when a squadron of the Kwantung Army, under the cover of a dense firepower network behind them, was only a hundred meters away from the position, the Eighth Route Army's artillery mass fired out dozens of

The artillery shells were fired, and they had already flown over the heads of the Little Japanese artillery position and the heavy machine gun position.

"Boom boom boom..." A dense explosion sounded. The Japanese artillery position and heavy machine gun position fell into a sea of ​​​​fire almost at the same time. The mortars and heavy machine guns that were directly hit by the shells were in this

It was exploded and turned into piles of parts. As for the little devils next to the weapons, not a single one was left, and they all fell into a pool of blood. Those who were more lucky could still leave a whole corpse. Those who were unlucky,

The entire body was directly blown into a pile of minced meat.

"Baga, hurry up, all the mortars will be moved immediately. Move their positions quickly..." I saw that the Eighth Route Army in the town actually had artillery, and the opponent's only one round of shelling destroyed four of its mortars and

Three heavy machine guns. The two artillerymen and the temporary commander of the heavy machine gun couldn't help but turn pale with fright. They exclaimed loudly to the little Japanese in front of them.
