Predator Reborn

Chapter 360 Closing the Net (Part 2)

"Baga! What does the Eighth Route Army want to do? Do they want to use cars to attack?" Colonel Nakamoto said to himself with frowns as he looked at a dozen trucks slowly advancing. Just as he finished speaking

, the roofs of more than a dozen trucks in front of them suddenly spurted out more than a dozen dense tongues of flames. 18 tongues of flames clung to the edge of the Japs' trenches, commanding downwards, and shot into their bunkers.

Although the little devil was protected by a layer of soil dozens of centimeters thick, the soft soil could block ordinary rifle bullets. However, at this time, he was facing a large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun with a range of several kilometers.

The little devil lying in the trench watched helplessly as large-caliber bullets were fired into the soil in front of him. He thought he would be safe. However, the bullets shot into the soil did not stop at all.

Just like penetrating a piece of paper, the bullet with remaining kinetic energy shot into the little devil's stomach without mercy again. One of the little devils, with a hint of shock, fell in a pool of blood in disbelief.

I will never know until my death why bullets can penetrate the thick soil in front of me.

With just one round of fire from 18 anti-aircraft machine guns, the little Japanese lying on the position were swept down one by one in a pool of blood. As for the several heavy machine gun positions on the little Japanese position, they had just fired a few bullets.

This led to counterattacks from several anti-aircraft machine guns. The entire heavy machine gun position, including the men and their guns, was smashed to pieces by this dense rain of bullets.

"Baga, what kind of machine gun is this? Why does the Eighth Route Army have such a powerful machine gun..." Seeing the little devil on his own position, even under the protection of the trench, he was still hit and fell into a pool of blood.

The commander of the wing, Colonel Nakamoto, almost turned pale with fright. He asked the officers around him who were also stunned and asked in disbelief.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, if nothing else happens, the 12 light tanks of our tank squadron were destroyed by these machine guns. The tank armor that cannot even be penetrated by heavy machine guns, in front of these large-caliber machine guns, is like

It's like a layer of paper and can be penetrated easily." Seeing such a powerful machine gun again, the first person to react was the captain of the Kwantung Army brigade. Looking at the machine gun in front of him that was constantly spraying flames, the captain said with lingering fear.

.

"What, these machine guns can even penetrate the armor of our tanks, so the trenches in front of us are not useless. Gentlemen, can anyone tell me what kind of machine guns these machine guns are, and why they are used by the Eighth Route Army?

In your hands?" Hearing that these machine guns could easily penetrate the protective armor of tanks, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Nakamoto, was once again shocked and continued to ask.

"Report...Report to the captain. I guess these machine guns are anti-aircraft machine guns used by the army for air defense. I used to be an officer in the air defense force, and I know the performance of heavy machine guns very well. This kind of machine gun, at a distance of one hundred meters,

It can easily penetrate steel plates below 50 mm. At the same time, if the machine gun is placed flat, the range can reach a distance of two kilometers. However, I don’t know how the Eighth Route Army, which has always been equipped with backward equipment, has an anti-aircraft machine gun.

An expensive weapon." Just when all the officers fell into silence, an artillery squadron leader stood up and explained to everyone.

"Nani, anti-aircraft machine gun. What do you mean, the trenches in front of our soldiers can't stop the bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army?" Colonel Nakamoto asked with a frown.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain. The penetration ability of this machine gun is very powerful. One bullet can penetrate the bodies of at least three soldiers. The soil in front of our soldiers is only a few tens of centimeters thick, and these are powerful

Being condescending and having an absolute advantage..." the squadron leader quickly replied.

While speaking, perhaps in order to verify the correctness of his conclusion, the squadron leader looked at the front line position a hundred meters away. He saw a row of heroic imperial soldiers lying neatly in the trench. However, what was incredible was that

Although these soldiers were lying in the trenches, they did not react at all to the Eighth Route Army's attack. They just lay there like a corpse.

"Captain, if nothing else happens, hundreds of soldiers in the forward position have been shattered. Your Excellency, commander, we have nothing to resist in front of this kind of machine gun. I request that the commander lead all the remaining soldiers on the position."

, break out immediately. Otherwise, if you stick here, there will only be one result in the end, and that is to be brutally shot by the anti-aircraft machine guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army." The artillery squadron leader in front of him suggested loudly.

"Baga, as a warrior of the Great Empire, even Yu Sui will die on the way to charge. How can we retreat? In the eyes of the Imperial Army of the Great Empire, there is only attack, not retreat."

Although the commander of the wing, Colonel Nakamoto, agreed with the opinion of the squadron leader in front of him, he still refused mercilessly when he thought of his honor as a soldier.

"Your Excellency, Captain, please consider Mr. Kamikawa's opinion. We can stay here for the sake of the Empire, but Captain, you must rush out with our flag. Otherwise, our team's establishment will be greatly reduced."

**Deleted from the establishment of the Imperial Army, please consider carefully the commander." Seeing the stubborn commander, the commander of the commander immediately suggested.

"Your Excellency, Captain, please consider this carefully for the sake of the honor of our regiment..." Immediately, the remaining dozen officers followed closely behind the Chief of Staff and said loudly.

"Baga, please stop talking. I will not retreat. I will die with the soldiers of the regiment. Chief of Staff, now I order you to burn the flag of our regiment immediately and destroy all communication codes.

, and then concentrated all the capable Imperial Army soldiers in the headquarters to launch our regiment’s final attack on the Eighth Route Army in front of us. Let the Eighth Route Army know that our Imperial Army of the Great *** is invincible..." Lieutenant Colonel

Colonel Ben refused without hesitation. At the same time, he loudly ordered to the officers in front of him.

"Hi, your Excellency, Captain..." the Chief of Staff took the order and left. At the same time, the remaining dozen officers took out their command knives and looked at the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer to them with an angry look.

And just when the little devils headquarters began to burn military flags and various passwords, the 1st Guards Brigade Regiment, which was responsible for the frontal attack, was rapidly moving forward under the cover of 18 anti-aircraft machine guns. There were more than 2,000 people in one regiment, and there were almost no

At no cost, they easily occupied the enemy's first-line position. At this time, in addition to the bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers, only dozens of Japanese soldiers were left in the entire trench.

, stood up brazenly and launched a suicidal charge towards the soldiers, trying to use grenades tied to his body to blow up the 18 anti-aircraft machine guns that were firing wildly.

However, these dozens of little Japs did not get what they wanted. Before they could rush in front of the truck, they were hit by the machine gun on the truck or by the infantry following the truck. They all fell to the charge.

On the way, they reported to their Amaterasu.

After breaking through the little Japanese's defensive position, the 18 vehicles had to stay in place due to the trenches in front of them. They could only use vehicle-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns to cover the first guard group in front of them. The 2,000 soldiers of the guard group were

Slowly crossing the car, under the cover of the machine gun, he rushed towards the Japs' headquarters from the opened breach.

And at this moment, after all the things that should be destroyed had been destroyed, the Japanese Army Chief of Staff, along with the remaining dozen or so little Japs in the headquarters, came to the front of Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the wing, with weapons in hand.

: "Report to the Wing Commander, the Wing Flag and all confidential documents have been destroyed. All personnel in the headquarters have been assembled, a total of 356 people. Please give instructions to the Wing Commander."

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, warriors of the empire. Now, let us use the swords in our hands to tell the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side that the Japanese Empire is invincible. Long live the Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, kill them all

Here..." Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the regiment, shouted loudly to the more than 300 Japanese soldiers who hurriedly gathered in front of him. At the same time, he drew out his command knife and launched a countercharge towards the oncoming guard brigade regiment.

.

"Long live the Great Empire, long live the Emperor...Kill..." After hearing the commander's order, the more than 300 little Japs behind them roared one after another, showing their ferocious expressions. They clenched tightly.

Following the commander of the alliance, Colonel Nakamoto, he launched the final counterattack.

Of course, on the Japanese army position that was brightly illuminated by the headlights of more than a dozen cars, every move of the Japanese army did not escape the eyes of the soldiers. When they saw hundreds of little Japs, led by more than a dozen Japanese officers,

A countercharge was launched against the advancing Guards Brigade Regiment.

Huang Zhengqing, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Guard Brigade, smiled. When he saw more than 300 little Japs holding their command knives and bayonets to charge his troops, a sly smile appeared on his lips. At the same time, he shouted an order to the soldiers around him:

"Stop moving forward, the machine gunners move forward, everyone is ready to fire, the machine guns are ready to fire... click, click, click..." A series of dense tongues of fire, in the little devil's face full of surprise

, shot into their charging formation. Colonel Nakamoto, the commander of the charge at the front, was not surprised to receive the attention of several machine guns at the same time. His whole body was shot several times.

After ten rounds of bullets, he fell into a pool of blood with a look of reluctance, shock, and anger.

Similarly, the commander of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion, who commanded 18 vehicles, also discovered the hundreds of little Japs who had been charging towards the Guard Brigade. Without any hesitation, he faced the row of 18 behind him.

The anti-aircraft machine gun issued a combat order: "All machine gunners immediately moved their shooting targets and opened fire on the charging Japs 100 meters ahead..."

Following the group of fire were the 18 anti-aircraft machine guns of the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion. In front of the rounds of large-caliber bullets, hundreds of little Japs were not only brutally shot, but also shot. In the end, the regiment leader

It only took less than two minutes for the hundreds of death squads led by Colonel Nakamoto to be completely destroyed by the combined firepower of the soldiers.

All the mobile forces of the Japanese army headquarters were eliminated, and no large-scale Japanese troops could be seen in the entire Japanese army position. The entire guard regiment, as if in a deserted land, was divided into groups under the leadership of their respective battalion commanders.

Third, quickly pounced on the Japanese positions in the other three directions.

In the end, the more than 900 little Japs remaining on the entire position quickly collapsed and were destroyed under the attack from the front and rear by the 1st Guard Brigade and the soldiers from the three brigades...

"Reporting to the division commander, all units have sent telegrams. All the Japanese and puppet troops surrounded by our army have now been wiped out by our army." The chief of staff, who received the victory reports from each unit, ran over with a few telegrams and his face was full of excitement.

Reported in front of division commander Liu Hua.

"Okay, a good fight. The whole battle only lasted two and a half hours from the beginning to now. It was a great fight. Chief of Staff, immediately order all the troops to clean the battlefield. The troops must withdraw from the battlefield after dawn to prevent the little devils.

Aircraft bombing." Hearing that the puppet army that had lasted for more than 8,000 days was finally wiped out by him, the division commander Liu Hua was still excited and ordered loudly to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Yes, Division Commander. But, Division Commander, I have a question. There are a total of 12 Imp tanks on the battlefield. If nothing else happens, except for a lot of bullet holes in the armor directly opposite, most of the tanks should have nothing.

Question. However, in our *** division, no one knows how to drive a tank. Brigadier Shen asked, what should we do with these tanks?" asked the chief of staff.

"Haha, this is simple. Didn't we seize 24 large trucks? In addition to transporting the seriously injured and the weapons and ammunition for delivery, 12 trucks were left to pull the tanks and let the soldiers find a way to push the tanks into the carriages. In short.

In a word, no matter what method is used, these 12 tanks must be transported back to the base area for me, and I will form our first tank detachment of the *** type. As for the issue of opening tanks, I will find a way."

Liu Hua said with certainty.

Because, in Liu Hua's eyes, the tanks and armored fighting vehicles of later generations, which cost several times the cash, can be driven by themselves. What's more, what about these light tanks with basically no technical content? Thinking of this, Liu Hua's mouth showed a trace

With a smile on his face, it seemed as if the tank unit he had formed had appeared in front of him.

"Yes, division commander, I will make arrangements right away..." The chief of staff turned around to convey the order.

According to the order of the division headquarters, the entire battlefield was thoroughly cleaned by each unit for an hour. Except for the corpses of the little devils, not even a bullet casing was left for the little devils. As for the 12 captured vehicles

The tanks were finally put into the trunk by the soldiers who tried all kinds of methods.

Just when the sky was already dark, the soldiers who had cleaned up the battlefield, under the command of commanders at all levels, slowly evacuated the battlefield and got into the mountains a few miles away. However, the two anti-aircraft machine gun battalions

The soldiers, however, were left behind by Liu Hua, preparing to add fuel to the fire to the Little Japs and give a big gift to the Little Japs planes that came for reinforcements.

"Buzz buzz..." As the sky became brighter and brighter, from the direction of Taiyuan, suddenly there was the roar of aircraft from far to near. Soon, 12 light bombers were seen, all hanging from their bodies.

Full of ammunition, it slowly flew over Zhongyang Town. However, what puzzled these little Japanese pilots was that there was no fierce battle scene in Zhongyang Town below the plane as they had imagined, but it was as if they were dead.

peaceful.

"Squadron leader, what happened below? Why didn't any fighting take place? Could it be that the Zhongben Regiment was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army last night, or was the Eighth Route Army completely destroyed?" Zhongyang looked at the tranquility.

Zhen, a squad leader following the squadron leader's plane asked into the walkie-talkie in front of him.

"It is impossible for the entire army to be destroyed. Although the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is very powerful, I do not believe that they are capable of consuming a field regiment of the Imperial Army and a field regiment in a few hours.

A brigade of infantrymen from the Kwantung Army. Order the first and second squads to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance to understand the situation below, and the third and fourth squads to conduct high-altitude alerts." The squadron leader also frowned and ordered loudly.

"Hi, your Excellency the squadron leader..." Immediately, the echoes of the four squad leaders came from the intercom. At the same time, the six light bombers following the squadron leader's plane lowered their noses with a huge roar.

, flew out of the formation and prepared for low-altitude reconnaissance.

However, when they flew only 500 meters above the ground, a shocking scene appeared in their eyes. They saw the corpses of soldiers lying everywhere on the entire battlefield. What's more,

The important thing is that these corpses all belong to imperial soldiers, not even a Chinese corpse was seen.

"Baga, how could this happen? How could this happen? When did the Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire become so careless..." Seeing the situation on the ground, a little Japanese pilot couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, just when the pilots of the six low-altitude Japanese aircraft were all caught by the shocking scene on the ground, the commanders of the two anti-aircraft machine gun battalions hidden in the town gave the order to fire almost at the same time.

Six companies of 36 anti-aircraft machine guns fired dense tongues of flame at the six aircraft. The 36 tongues of flames enveloped all six aircraft in an instant.

In this dense air defense firepower network, in just a few seconds, two aircraft were hit by the sudden intensive firepower and exploded in the air. When the remaining four aircraft saw the dense firepower network around their own aircraft,

, all were shocked, and shifted their gaze from the ground to the front of the plane. At the same time, a pair of hands subconsciously raised the fuselage, preparing to pull the plane out of the range of the anti-aircraft gun as much as possible before they were shot.
