Chapter 382 A Difficult Blockade (Part 1)

"Baga, there is only one of our guard regiments around the artillery and baggage. It will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the main force of the Eighth Route Army. If our artillery and baggage are really lost, then we will not be able to fulfill the command.

Did your Excellency personally hand over the mission? Bage Yalu, Chief of Staff, immediately ordered the Fenyang Guard Regiment at the end, the 37th Infantry Regiment of the Kwantung Army, to immediately launch an attack on the current Eighth Route Army troops.

In the shortest possible time, while the Eighth Route Army's defensive positions have not yet been fully deployed, break through their positions and reinforce the artillery and transport troops." After the chief of staff stopped answering, the brigade commander couldn't help being surprised. However, there was a burst of surprise.

Afterwards, he issued the combat order to the chief of staff in front of him in the shortest possible time.

"Hai, your Excellency the brigade commander, I will send a report to the two regiments right now." The chief of staff turned around and ran towards the radio station.

However, the situation of the two assault troops at this time is exactly as the Japanese brigade commander Major General Yoshio said last month. The entire blocking position has just begun to be deployed. The two trenches with a length of one kilometer have only been dug to a depth of less than half a meter.

.However, the two regiment captains who received the strict order from the brigade commander did not care so much, and immediately gathered heavy troops and began to attack the two troops.

"Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance post reported that the Japanese army has assembled a large group of troops and is rushing towards us." Just then, the brigade commander Shen Qinghua walked back and forth between the two trenches, instructing the soldiers to speed up the digging of the trenches.

At that time, Hou Guoying, the commander of the regiment in charge of the direction of the Japanese garrison, ran to Shen Qinghua with sweat on his face and reported loudly.

"Damn, the little Japs won't even give us a chance to breathe. Commander Hou, ordered the 1st, 12th and 2nd Battalions of the 1st Regiment to immediately use the existing fortifications to prepare to stop the Japs. The 3rd Battalion and the troops directly under them continued to dig defensive fortifications.

Today, we still have a long time to block the attack. If there is no strong defense fortification, the casualties of the soldiers will be very huge when the battle is over. Therefore, we must not stop digging the blockade fortification." Shen Qinghua raised the gun in his hand.

Through the telescope, he watched nearly a thousand little Japs rushing towards his position like waves of yellow under the cover of heavy machine guns. Brigadier Shen Qinghua put down his telescope and couldn't help but cursed bitterly.

In one sentence, he issued a combat order to Hou Guoying in front of him.

"Yes, brigade commander, don't worry. As long as I, Hou Guoying, am here, I will definitely block the Japs' attack and defend the position." Hou Guoying replied loudly, silently gave a military salute, turned around and ran towards his position.

In less than half a minute, it was just a group of diggers' trenches. Except for one-third of the soldiers who continued to dig. The remaining soldiers threw down their engineering shovels, took out their weapons, and used the existing

The defensive trenches, less than half a meter deep, were well prepared to block the Japanese attack.

"Comrades, be ready for battle. All light and heavy machine guns must be concealed and don't let the Japs' grenade launchers discover them. Without my order, no one is allowed to fire and expose the target." Looking at those who are already ready for battle,

With nearly a thousand soldiers, Hou Guoying nodded with satisfaction. But he still couldn't help but remind him back and forth on the battlefield.

At the same time, a Japanese army brigade responsible for the attack, encouraged by the captain, screamed and accelerated the pace of its charge. Just when the Japanese army was less than 200 meters away from the soldiers, dozens of little devils, holding

They stopped with grenade launchers, ready to fire at any time to support the infantry charge. The remaining nearly a thousand infantrymen were lined up in three lines under the command of the battalion captain and each squadron leader.

The loose line of skirmishers quickly moved towards the regiment's position.

"Order, after the heavy machine gun fires, immediately knock out all the grenades of the Japanese army, and then suppress the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower. The light machine gun and all riflemen are responsible for blocking the little Japanese infantry. As long as the Japanese army rushes into the 100-meter range

, don't save ammunition for me, fire immediately." Looking at dozens of grenades, they were quickly set up behind the little Japanese infantry. Hou Guoying knew that he had no artillery support. If he could not knock them out in the shortest time,

Japanese grenades, then in the ensuing blocking battle, it would be impossible for our own light and heavy machine guns to provide effective fire suppression to the infantry around us.

As the order was given, the regiment leader Hou Guoying also lay down among the soldiers, picked up a rifle, and aimed it at a Japanese squad leader who was charging in the first row. At the same time, he silently recited the words of the two armies.

Distance. "200 meters... 180 meters... 150 meters... 130 meters... 100 meters." At this moment, Hou Guoying showed a smile on his lips. At the same time, there was no trace of anything on the index finger of his right hand.

Without hesitation, he gently pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand.

"Bang..." A sharp rifle sound sounded on the battlefield. Just now, a Japanese second lieutenant, who was waving the command knife in his hand and urging the soldiers to speed up the charge, looked at his chest in disbelief and kept moving out.

The bloody hole was full of blood, and with a hint of unwillingness, he fell heavily on the charging road.

The gunshot was an order. At the same time as the gunshot of Commander Hou Guoying, the nine heavy machine guns placed at different positions on the position also sprayed out dense tongues of fire at the same time. The nine dense tongues of fire were beyond the imagination of the little devil.

Unexpectedly, it went directly through the gap between the Japanese infantry and shot at the Japanese grenade position two hundred meters away, which was preparing to fire grenades at the soldiers.

"Ah... Baga... the heavy machine guns of the Eighth Route Army, hurry up, move them immediately..." After a dense rain of bullets, the dozens of grenadier soldiers squatting on the ground ready to shoot immediately started shooting

Most of them were killed. The remaining dozen soldiers, led by a squad leader, quickly retreated and exited the range of the soldiers' heavy machine guns.

However, although the firing of the heavy machine gun company on the position destroyed most of the Japanese grenades, it also attracted crazy retaliatory fire from 12 heavy machine guns of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron. In the dense rain of bullets, more than a dozen people on the position

The machine gunners all fell into a pool of blood in just an instant. However, facing the threat of the Japanese heavy machine guns, the soldiers did not have any fear and immediately moved the bodies of their comrades beside the heavy machine guns. A deputy shooter

He quickly made up for it and began to shoot at the Japanese army.

At the same time as the heavy machine guns, all the light machine guns and riflemen on the position fired. As the regimental commander's gunshot sounded, nearly a thousand rifles in the entire trench fired their bullets at almost the same time. A dense burst of

Bullets were fired from the volley of rifles. The little Japs from a squadron who were charging at the front faced the shooting of the soldiers who were close at hand. No surprise, most of them were lost in one go. Only less than one squad of Japs left escaped by chance.

After the first round of shooting by the soldiers, they lay down on the ground like a conditioned reflex, ready to start shooting at each other with the soldiers.

However, it was a pity. While they were lying on the ground, more than 20 light machine guns from the two main battalions on the entire position also sprayed out dense tongues of fire at the same time. The dense rain of bullets, in addition to

In addition to shooting a lot of little Japs who were slow to respond to tactical movements in the second and third skirmisher lines, the rest was to pin the little Japs lying on the ground to the ground so that they could not move.

The infantry on the position provides an opportunity to fire.

"Baga, why does the Eighth Route Army have such powerful firepower? Bagaya Road...Machine gunners, start covering fire immediately. Be sure to suppress the enemy's light machine guns. The infantry continues to charge and start attacking immediately." Looking at the opposite position.

The sudden and airtight rain of bullets shocked a Japanese garrison captain who had never fought against the Japanese Army Division. At the same time, while being shocked, he also issued instructions to several squadron captains around him.

received the latest combat orders.

"Da da da..." Dozens of light machine guns accompanying the Japanese army's attack were quickly set up on the ground and fired quickly at the command of the captain. Suddenly, the dense fire that had just been fired from the position was

The rain of bullets, suppressed by the firepower of the Japs, suddenly became much sparser. As for the Japs infantry lying on the ground, they also took advantage of this favorable time and climbed up from the ground amidst the shouts of their respective commanders.

He stood up, bent down, and continued to attack. More soldiers attacked while firing at the opposite group of positions.

Faced with the powerful firepower and superb tactical movements of the Little Japs, the regiment leader Hou Guoying knew that if he wanted to block the attack of a large group of Little Japs without artillery support, the only thing he could rely on was the soldiers in his hands who were also not afraid of sacrifice.

"Machine gunners, hit me hard. You must suppress the enemy's firepower. All riflemen, keep shooting and must block the charge of the little Japanese infantry..." Hou Guoying loudly issued combat orders while using

With the rifle in his hand, he kept shooting at the little Japs who were getting closer and closer.

Although the soldiers lying on the battlefield continued to suffer casualties under the precise shooting of the Japanese army, when they saw their comrades who were shot one by one and fell in a pool of blood, the only thing they did was to express their grief and anger.

Turn into strength, use the rifle in your hand and the bullets in the rifle to avenge your comrades.

As a result, although the Japanese army was getting closer and closer to the soldiers' positions, the casualties of the soldiers were also increasing. However, the losses of the little devils far exceeded the losses of the regiment. Just after the soldiers passed by for the first time

After one round of shooting, there were less than 800 little Japs left, and they attacked again 50 meters later. Within this 50-meter distance, they had already dropped nearly 400 corpses.

Seeing that there were only less than 400 Japs left in front of them, the regiment leader Hou Guoying knew that at a distance of 50 meters, he had only one last and only chance, and that was to use grenades. Take advantage of the several-meter difference between the throwing distance of grenades and grenades.

, give the little devil a big kill. Otherwise, your own soldiers will face a hand-to-hand fight with the little devil.

Thinking of this, the regiment leader Hou Guoying put down the rifle in his hand, dragged a box of wooden handle grenades behind him, opened the covers of the grenades one by one, and was ready to drop the bomb. At the same time, the order was issued again

New combat order. "Comrades, prepare grenades."

Immediately, except for the machine gunners and sharpshooters who continued to shoot to suppress the enemy's firepower, the remaining soldiers on the entire position took out a grenade from their waists and got ready to throw it.

"Throw grenades..." Finally, the Japs entered the grenade throwing range and began to prepare to throw the grenades they equipped at their own positions. The regiment leader Hou Guoying did not hesitate at all and immediately gave the order loudly. At the same time,

, he also tried his best to throw a grenade with white smoke into the Japanese charging team.

"Woooooooo..." A whistling sound sounded, and nearly 700 grenades were thrown out of the position in a short period of three seconds following the order of the regiment leader Hou Guoying, and fell on the little Japanese who were charging quickly.

among the team.

"Baga...Grenade, get down quickly...Boom, boom, boom..." Looking at the dense grenades above his head, the little Japanese captain who had been following the troops could not help but feel a headache. He faced the charging soldiers in front of him.

, roared loudly. However, before he finished speaking, bursts of grenade explosions were heard one after another among his troops. More importantly, among the explosions, there were constant

The screams of his own soldiers.

"Baga... the cunning Eighth Route Army..." The captain raised his head and saw the remaining hundreds of soldiers in his brigade, completely enveloped in the smoke caused by the grenade explosion. He couldn't help but feel furious,

He slashed the command knife in his hand hard at the small tree in front of him.

However, what the Japanese captain did not expect was that the moment he raised his head and raised his command knife, the bright reflection of the command knife inadvertently revealed his position. Those lying on the ground,

A group of sharpshooters who were constantly searching for their prey pulled the trigger on the Japanese captain almost at the same time.

A burst of messy rifle sound rang out among the constantly exploding grenades. The Japanese captain, who had just raised his head and was about to vent, was immediately hit by at least three bullets at the same time. His whole head was smashed to pieces at once, red.

White brains splattered all over the floor.

The deputy captain who was lying next to the captain wiped away the blood that splashed into his eyes. When he saw the captain in front of him whose head had been beaten to pieces, he couldn't help but feel fear and quickly hugged his head.

Lying on the ground, hoping that the opponent's sniper would not find him.

At this moment, the smoke from the grenade explosion had slowly dissipated. After nearly 700 grenades exploded in succession, the deputy captain saw that in addition to the stumps and broken arms on the ground, there were constant wailing.

Of course, there were some who were lucky enough to escape the grenade explosion, but the number was very small, with less than 100 Japanese soldiers.

"On Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army's firepower is extremely powerful. Order all soldiers to retreat immediately, hurry up, retreat immediately, and get out of the Eighth Route Army's firepower range." Looking at the group in front of him, there were only nearly a hundred soldiers left.

Looking at the captain in front of him whose head was beaten to pieces, the deputy captain no longer had the courage to continue the attack, and loudly gave the order to retreat to the defeated soldiers in front of him.

After hearing the deputy captain's order to retreat, those little Japanese who had never suffered such a defeat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they looked at the corpse of a comrade with missing arms and legs beside him. Even the ones lying on the ground kept wailing.

The wounded soldiers had forgotten all about them, took their weapons, and began to retreat quickly. As a result, more than a hundred little Japanese soldiers, greeted by the soldiers' gunshots, left the bodies of their companions and the wounded and sick, and were in a state of embarrassment.

They retreated towards the main force.

However, although the First Regiment successfully repelled the first Japanese attack and wiped out nearly a large group of Japanese troops, the First Regiment also paid a heavy price. Under the precise shooting of the Japanese riflemen, a total of 348

Soldiers died under the Japanese army's precise marksmanship. 46 soldiers were seriously injured and unable to participate in the next battle. The remaining were more than 200 lightly wounded. However, after simple bandaging, it did not affect the response.

The battle down.

However, although the soldiers paid the price of losing more than two companies, they gained more than ten minutes for the third battalion who was digging trenches behind them. During these ten minutes, the third battalion plus the regiment directly under the

The nearly a thousand soldiers of the army once again dug the entire trench to a depth of nearly half a meter, which was fully capable of resisting the next attack of the Japs.

In the attack of the Japanese Garrison Regiment, the first regiment only paid the price of two companies and wiped them out. However, the two main regiments led by the second brigade commander Luo Zhihui did not feel so easy. Because they faced

Not only were they the most elite Kwantung Army brigade of the Japanese army, but they also faced two Japanese regiments with nearly 10,000 troops. Looking at less than half of the trenches dug in front of them, they were stunned.

A Kwantung Army brigade launched an attack on him. The brigade commander Luo Zhihui could be said to be very anxious. However, facing the Japs' attack, it was impossible for Luo Zhihui not to send troops to resist.

"Order: Commander Xu leads all the combat personnel of the Fourth Regiment to block the Japs' first attack by relying on the existing fortifications. Commander Wang leads all the personnel of the Fifth Regiment to continue digging trenches and building blocking fortifications. At the same time, do a good job

Be ready to join the battle at any time." Looking at the little Japs getting closer and closer, the brigade commander Luo Zhihui ordered loudly. At the same time, he also picked up a rifle, led the guard company around him, and followed the soldiers of the fourth regiment into blocking the attack.

Position, lying in the shallow trench, waiting for the arrival of the little devil.
