Predator Reborn

Chapter 357 The mantis stalks the cicada (continued)

At this moment, the second round of artillery shells fired by the Eighth Route Army once again flew over their heads. Amidst a violent explosion and the screams of the soldiers, several mortars were already spraying flames from their heavy machine guns.

, together with the dozens of imperial soldiers beside them, once again turned into a pile of parts... As rounds after rounds of artillery shells were fired, the little devils on the two positions were bombed one after another.

He fell into a pool of blood.

However, the little devil's Bushido spirit saved their lives at the critical moment. In the end, the two positions, under the intensive artillery fire, finally lost almost a quarter of their strength, and the rest were all transferred to

safe zone.

"Baga, the artillerymen of the Eighth Route Army are cunning and cunning... they actually lurked in front of the attacking imperial army for such a long time before launching an attack. Bagalu. Ordered the artillery to fight back immediately and must destroy the opponent's artillery.

The heavy machine guns continued to fire, covering the infantry charge." When he learned that he had nearly fifty mortars, he lost a dozen of them in an instant under the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army, and more importantly, he also lost dozens of them.

Elite artillery. The commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto, cursed loudly at the temporary artillery battalion commander who came to report.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain, we will definitely destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery and avenge the imperial warriors who were just crushed in the hands of the Eighth Route Army's artillery." The captain turned around and ran towards his new artillery position.

However, the captain who returned to the position was full of disappointment after receiving reports from each squadron leader. Because, according to the trajectory of the artillery shells fired by the Eighth Route Army, it was discovered that the artillery of the Eighth Route Army was scattered throughout the town.

I can't find the target for the bombardment at all...

However, the commander's order must be carried out. At the command of the captain, the little devils gathered all the remaining mortars and prepared to eliminate the Eighth Route Army artillery units distributed in the town one by one. As they gathered densely

Under the attack of artillery fire, although several artillery positions were turned into ruins, the little Japanese's new artillery position was once again exposed to the eyes of the soldiers on other artillery positions in the town at the same time.

Immediately, one after another artillery shells flew out of the town and landed on the little Japanese's new artillery position. However, in the face of one after another, the artillery shells exploded on their own positions. The little Japanese was temporarily paralyzed.

The captain seemed to be angry, and no longer ordered the soldiers to move. Instead, he ordered the dozens of artillerymen behind him to resolutely fight back at the risk of being hit at any time on the position where explosions continued to occur.

As a result, under the forced order of the temporary captain of the Japanese army, the artillery of the enemy and our armies began to engage in a fierce fight. However, because the artillery of the Little Japanese Army was in a concentrated state, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army used three mortars per unit.

The positions were loosely distributed in the huge Zhongyang Town. Therefore, the artillery of the two parties only fired at each other for less than five minutes, and the victory or defeat was already decided.

In these five minutes, the remaining mortars of the Eighth Route Army tilted no less than a hundred rounds towards the Japanese artillery position. Nearly twenty mortars were destroyed in place by these shells. On the other hand,

The little devil, in just five minutes, destroyed three artillery positions and nine mortars of the Route Army...

Just when the artillery battle began, the battle between a battalion guarding the position and a squadron of Japs was about to break out. The commander of the first battalion guarding the position saw that under the counterattack of his own artillery unit, the battle was still close.

The draught of bullets suddenly became much thinner. As a battalion commander, the first battalion commander would certainly not let go of such a good opportunity and immediately ordered the soldiers hiding in the trenches to confront the soldiers hiding behind the tanks.

More than two hundred Japs opened fire.

Although the Japanese army was covered by tanks, under the fire of the soldiers' volleys of guns, there were still dozens of little Japs. They fell into a pool of blood before they noticed the Eighth Route Army soldier who had just stretched out his head on the opposite side. Especially,

Several heavy machine guns on the first battalion's position formed a dense crossfire of flames in front of the position, constantly harvesting the lives of the little Japanese hiding behind the tanks from various different directions.

"Baga, hide, hide quickly..." Seeing that in just a moment, he lost a squadron by strengthening the squadron. The squadron leader's face immediately changed, facing the soldiers who continued to charge behind him,

He shouted loudly. Even he immediately fell to the ground.

Similarly, the rapidly advancing triple tanks, at the same time as the squadron leader's order was issued, discovered several light and heavy machine gun positions that were constantly spitting flames on the Eighth Route Army position outside Baimi. With their rough skin and thick flesh, the three tanks did not

If there was any hesitation, he immediately turned the muzzle and started firing. At the same time, the two vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tank also fired a dense rain of bullets at the Eighth Route Army position in front of them.

"Boom...boom...boom..." Three violent explosions sounded, and three tanks fired a shell at a battalion position not far away. As the three shells came out,

, the three heavy machine gun positions that were still spitting flames just now were blown into the most primitive parts, including the men and the machine guns, in the violent explosions. And at this moment, the firepower on the positions

The density was reduced by at least half at once.

"Yo Xi, warriors, follow the tanks and rush into the Eighth Route Army's position. Use our bayonets to kill all the Chinese people on the opposite side. Kill them..." Seeing the three heavy machine gun positions destroyed by their own tanks, the Japanese army

The squadron leader's smile returned to his lips once again, he raised the command knife in his hand and gave a loud order.

"Kill..." The remaining more than a hundred little Japs just followed the three tanks and launched another charge.

"Comrades, hold still. Except for the riflemen, all light and heavy machine guns have stopped firing. Hold still and prepare grenades. The little Japs have rushed in. Let's use grenades..." Although three heavy machine guns and several heavy machine guns were lost.

Ten outstanding soldiers, but thinking of the regimental commander's order and the mission of his first battalion, the first battalion commander suppressed the grief in his heart and shouted orders back and forth to the soldiers in the trenches.

"Bang bang bang..." Amidst the sparse rifle sounds of the soldiers, the three tanks sprayed flames while moving forward quickly. And the three teams of little devils, under the cover of the tanks, almost

Without suffering any major losses, we arrived only about 40 meters away from the position.

"Yo Xi, it seems that the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side has been frightened by our tanks. We order all soldiers to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. The first team of tanks should continue to charge and break through the enemy's defensive positions." Seeing the troops nearby.

With the Eighth Route Army position just around the corner, the squadron leader's eyes showed a hint of bloodthirsty, he drew out his command knife and gave a loud order.

"Comrades, throw grenades, fire..." On the other hand, the commander of the first battalion on the position saw that it would only take a few seconds for three tanks to rush into his position. The commander of the first battalion said nothing and took the

He raised a grenade and shouted loudly at the soldiers around him. At the same time, he threw the grenade in his hand.

"Woooooo..." Hundreds of grenades were thrown out of the trench at the battalion commander's order. They passed over the three tanks that were moving forward quickly and fell on the infantry following the tanks.

In the group, a dense explosion of "boom, boom, boom" sounded from behind the tank. Three teams and more than a hundred little Japs were, without any surprise, all enveloped in the thick smoke.

The three tanks charging at the front of the entire team had no knowledge of the explosion behind them. They just saw the Eighth Route Army position getting closer and closer, and saw that they would be the first to break through the Eighth Route Army position.

The record...Three tanks, without infantry cover, rushed into the 1st Battalion's position without realizing it. The raging vehicle-mounted machine guns turned the Eighth Route Army position in front of them into dust...

However, to the little devil's surprise, after the Eighth Route Army position was fired wildly by his vehicle-mounted machine gun, there were no corpses on the ground as expected. However, at this time, the little devil was completely overwhelmed by the victory in front of him.

He lost his mind and never imagined that there was a huge trap waiting for him in front of him.

The three tanks, under the command of the squad leader, formed a zigzag attack formation. Braving a stream of black smoke, they crossed the first battalion's position and charged directly into the town. In an attempt to use the three tanks in their hands

, swept the entire position and divided the Eighth Route Army in the town into two.

"Yo Xi, it seems that the first victory in annihilating the Eighth Route Army this time will be given to our first tank team. Tell Mr. Zhongtian and Mr. Xia Zi not to have any worries, follow your own offensive route, and carry forward the great power.

*The empire's courageous spirit swept across the entire Eighth Route Army position... "Seeing that the three tanks under his command successfully broke through the Eighth Route Army's defensive position without encountering any resistance. Not only did the captain of the tank team not have any worries

, but ordered with a confident face, as if the halo of victory had been placed on his head.

However, the little devil's confidence was completely shattered at this moment. Just when the squad leader had just conveyed his order to the ears of the commanders of the other two tanks through the vehicle radio, there was a huge shock.

The sound suddenly reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, the entire tank seemed to have fallen into an abyss. There was a violent collision, and several little Japs in the tank, including himself, were completely knocked around.

At the same time, the tank that had been roaring just now suddenly turned off and stopped in place.

"Baga, pilot, what happened? Why did you stop and not move on..." The team leader reacted from the shock and quickly asked the driver beside him.

"Reporting to the captain, it's a hidden anti-tank trench. Our tank fell into the anti-tank trench. Now it can't move..." The driver who was named by the squad leader looked at the squad leader who was still smiling just now.

, his face suddenly became full of murderous intent, and the tank driver couldn't help feeling frightened, and quickly replied.

"Hidden anti-tank trenches, how is it possible? These uneducated people from the Eighth Route Army have never even seen a tank. How could they know how to dig anti-tank trenches..." The team leader looked incredulous, and at the same time, he

His eyes came to the lookout in front of the driver. Sure enough, through the lookout, the team leader saw the situation outside. An earth wall blocked the front of his tank, blocking his tank tightly. Even more

The important thing is that through the lookout, I seemed to see some Eighth Route Army soldiers walking back and forth around my tank with guns in hand...

"Bagya Road, the cunning Eighth Route Army... Where are the infantry behind us? Why don't they come closer to us? Quick, call the squadron leader for support..." Seeing that his car was really trapped in a tight siege

, on the face of the squad leader, the confidence just now can no longer be seen, but full of panic.

However, at this moment, there was a "bang bang bang" metal collision sound on the top of his tank. It was obvious that the Eighth Route Army overhead was trying to pry open the top flap of the tank. Listening to the sound above

The squad leader became even more panicked at the sound of the sound. He ordered loudly to the soldiers beside him who were also panic-stricken: "Bagheya Road, block, we must block the flap, and we must not let the Eighth Route Army pry it open, quickly.

..”

However, it was too late at this time. Before the squad leader could finish his words, a grenade with white smoke was thrown in from a gap opened. However, to the little devil's surprise,

In addition, although the grenade exploded, it did not produce shrapnel that could kill him.

Just when the kid in the tank was feeling lucky, an accident happened. Although the grenade did not produce any fatal shrapnel, streams of red and choking smoke continued to emerge from the body. It only passed

Within a few seconds, the entire tank cab was completely enveloped in this choking smoke.

"Ahem..." Under the thick red smoke, the little devil's cough immediately came from the cab. It turned out that in order to capture these tanks more intact, the soldiers did not directly explode them with grenades, but

It uses a grenade with a large amount of chili powder added to it. After the grenade explodes, it ignites the chili powder contained inside the projectile, producing smoky chili smoke.

"Bagh Ya Road is a gas bomb. The Eighth Route Army uses gas bombs...Give me a gas mask. Find a gas mask quickly..." Smelling the choking smoke, the squad leader almost burst into tears as he roared loudly.

.However, he did not know that in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from using gas bombs, all the gas masks assigned to the tank soldiers had been handed over and distributed to the infantry.

"Captain, I really can't stand it anymore. I want to go out. Even if I fight the Eighth Route Army outside, I don't want to continue to suffer inside..." A Japanese machine gunner whose eyes were red from the smoke coughed.

, he said to the team leader in front of him. Before everyone could react, he opened the tightly closed top cover and got out at once.

"Baga, you can't go out... da da da da..." Seeing the machine gunner getting out, the squad leader quickly refused loudly. However, it was still too late. Just as he finished speaking, there was a burst of machine gun fire.

The sound of strafing reached the ears of the few remaining Japs in the cab. The Japs who had just emerged from the tank were beaten to death by the machine gunners guarding them before they could take a breath of fresh air outside the tank.

sieve...

However, although they knew that they would die immediately if they got out of the tank, facing the increasingly thick chili smoke in the cab, the remaining little devils couldn't stand it anymore. Regardless of the team leader's obstruction, they got out one after another.

After getting out of the tank, he fell under the guns of the soldiers. Even the Japanese squad leader, who had been insisting on refusing to get out, was so smoked that he had no choice but to get out of the tank and fell to the ground.

In a pool of blood...

Similarly, the two tanks on both sides of the squad leader's tank, under the same tactics of the soldiers, the final result was no surprise. All four little devils in each tank were killed. And the three tanks,

It was captured intact by the soldiers.

The battle in the town has ended, but the battle outside the town has just entered its most intense period. Although, more than a hundred little Japs were casualties again after being attacked by soldiers with intensive grenades.

The strength of a small squad. However, the remaining more than a hundred little Japs, led by the squadron leader, did not retreat at all even though they lost the cover of the tanks.

With the remaining half of the soldiers in his squadron, he hid behind the corpses of the dead soldiers and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side. At the same time, the three grenade launchers that followed the troops charging were also under the command of the squadron leader.

One after another, grenades were poured onto the battalion's position...

It must be said that the Kwantung Army at this time is worthy of being the most powerful force in the entire Japanese army. The grenade launchers in the hands of the grenadiers are almost accurate. Every time a grenade is fired, a battalion's position will inevitably be hit.

A light machine gun and several soldiers would be lost. At the same time, the more than a hundred riflemen lying on the ground relied on their skilled combat speed to find opportunities to fire from time to time in the dense rain of bullets.

Although the firepower of these little devils was very sparse against the Eighth Route Army position less than 40 meters away, the sparse bullets caused huge damage and mental pressure to the soldiers. Because, the more than a hundred little devils in front of them

The combat effectiveness is beyond the imagination of the soldiers. Almost everyone is a sharpshooter. Every time a bullet is fired, a soldier in the battalion will be directly shot in the head.
