Chapter 434: Blocking Attacks (Part 2)

"Bang bang bang..." A chaotic sound of rifles rang out. Under the precise blows of hundreds of riflemen, nearly two hundred little Japs began to fall one after another on the road to charge. Although the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army served as cover

, constantly firing dense rain of bullets towards the blocking position. However, on a position several hundred meters wide, hundreds of riflemen changed their shooting positions almost every time they fired a shot, which gave the Japanese heavy machine gunners a sense of

The idea of ​​using a cannon to kill mosquitoes…

Of course, the Japanese commander Matsui, who was supervising the battle in the rear, discovered this serious problem at the first time. Because he believed that according to such losses, his own squadron's troops had not yet charged to the Eighth Route Army's blocking position.

Will lose everything...

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is extremely cunning... grenade launchers, immediately gather all the grenade launchers in the entire regiment to provide fire cover, quickly..." At the command of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Matsui, dozens of grenade launchers were immediately launched.

They lined up in a row, appeared two to three hundred meters in front of the position, and began to accurately shoot grenades one after another into the blocking position of the first battalion...

"Faced with the sudden artillery fire, the casualties of the first battalion immediately began to increase sharply. At the same time, the three heavy machine guns on the first battalion's position were also forced to fire in advance under the battalion commander's order and began to suppress the enemy's missiles.

Cartridges... However, the three heavy machine guns that had just started firing, within less than half a minute of firing, became the shooting targets of more than a dozen Japanese heavy machine guns and grenade launchers.

In a burst of dense explosions, the positions where the three heavy machine guns were located were covered by artillery fire one after another, turning into ruins... The firepower density of the entire blocking position was suddenly weakened because the heavy machine guns were destroyed.

Most of them, only a few riflemen were left, carrying out desperate resistance...

"Damn it, I can't get over it. Order all the light machine guns to fire immediately. Remember, fire a bunch of bullets, change the machine gun position, and don't let the little devil's grenade be aimed at..." Looking at the risk

The three heavy machine gun positions in the smoke looked at the little Japanese who were getting closer and closer in front of them. The first battalion commander clenched his fists tightly and ordered fiercely.

"Da da da..." With the continuous firing of thirty crooked-handled light machine guns, the firepower on the entire blockade position was immediately strengthened to its highest peak... It had already charged to a small group of soldiers more than a hundred meters away from the position.

The Japs were knocked to the ground one after another under the intensive fire counterattack. But more little Japs luckily escaped the intensive bullets, lay down on the ground, and began to shoot at each other with the battalion on the position...

The Japanese army had more than a dozen heavy machine guns and dozens of grenade launchers, and one battalion had thirty light machine guns and less than ten grenade launchers. The enemy and our troops were in positions less than 150 meters apart.

, engaged in back-and-forth shooting. Bullets were flying back and forth, constantly killing and injuring the opponent's vitality...

However, after all, the first battalion had the cover of the trenches on the blocking position, so the chance of being directly hit was very small. The little Japanese lying more than a hundred meters away in front of the position was completely exposed to the soldiers' guns because there was no cover from the position.

Therefore, the casualties of the troops were very huge. Just when the number of casualties in the first battalion was about to reach nearly a hundred, of the more than a hundred little Japs hiding in front of the position, there were only a few dozens left, sparsely

The sound of rifles posed no threat at all to the soldiers on the ground.

"Baga, order the remaining troops of the entire regiment to continue the attack and must rush into the Eighth Route Army's blocking position... Order the air force to immediately bomb and straf the enemy's positions. Baga Road, go and convey the order immediately..." Look

Seeing the tragic scene on the battlefield. Because of the huge casualties of his troops, Captain Matsui, who was about to lose his mind, roared loudly to the chief of staff beside him...

"But, Your Excellency, Wing Commander, there are still many of our soldiers in front of the Eighth Route Army blocking position. If planes are allowed to bomb, even our people will be affected..." the chief of staff reminded in a low voice.

"Baga, for the sake of the Emperor and the future of the Japanese Empire, the necessary sacrifices are worth it. As long as I can capture the Eighth Route Army position opposite, I think they will understand my approach. Now that the Eighth Route Army has all entered the position, it is time to

This is the best time for us to carry out air strikes. Hurry up and convey the order immediately..." Colonel Matsui, the commander of the regiment, replied with a positive look on his face.

"Hi, your Excellency, Captain..." the Chief of Staff replied loudly. At the same time, dozens of Imperial Army soldiers who were firing tenaciously in front of the Eighth Route Army's blockade, secretly prayed, hoping that they could escape the possible attacks that would appear for a while.

bombing.

Sure enough, less than a few minutes after the wing chief of staff left, three planes flew over the battlefield with a huge roar. Although, the dozen or so crooked aircraft responsible for air defense continued to move the dense air.

Flames shot into the sky. However, to everyone's surprise, this time the three planes did not show any fear. Instead, they split into two. The two planes were responsible for attracting and destroying the anti-aircraft firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the ground. As for the remaining

A plane that got off the ground flew towards the blocking position of the 1st Battalion with a huge roar in the air.

"Woooooooooo..." A continuous whistling sound sounded. A series of flying aerial bombs were dropped from an airplane hundreds of meters above the ground, and landed accurately on the blocking position where the first battalion was located. There was a burst of dense explosions.

When the bomb exploded, the entire position was immediately enveloped in smoke and plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

At the same time, the battalion position that had just fired a dense rain of bullets had become quiescent due to the continuous explosions. Only sparse bullets were left, which were continuously shot out from the thick smoke. However,

The little Japs a hundred meters away from the position were also affected. Dozens of little Japs were killed or stunned by the violent explosions at the same time as the explosion, and they completely lost their combat effectiveness.

…

"Damn, the little Japs are so ruthless, they even dare to blow up their own people... Are there any left alive? Get up immediately if you are alive, follow me into the bomb-proof hole, hurry up..." A man climbed up from a pile of rubble.

The battalion commander, covered in dust, shouted loudly at the trench in front of him that had been completely bombed and changed its appearance...

Gradually, one after another, soldiers emerged from the mud. Under the command of their respective company and platoon leaders, they quickly got into the artillery holes in the rear. However, more soldiers were just behind

During the air raid, he lost his life. After all, in the air raid just now, because the Japanese army dropped bombs at low altitude, the hit rate was very high. At least a dozen aerial bombs weighing tens of kilograms accurately landed on

In the trenches, they fell beside the soldiers.

"Battal Commander, the casualties of the troops have been counted. Now there are 289 people left in the battalion who can continue to fight. In addition, after the air strike just now, of all the light machine guns in the battalion, there are now less than ten left that can continue to fight.

Keep using it..." The instructor took the casualty report, lowered his head and came to the front of his partner to report.

"The soldiers are all good. Tell the rest of us that we are here today to teach the little devils in front of us a lesson and avenge our fallen comrades. Stand firm and fight to the death..." I heard a compilation of my own

The battalion had just held on for less than half an hour, and more than half of the troops had suffered casualties. Faced with this bloody fact, the eyes of the first battalion commander slowly revealed bursts of murderous intent, and he fiercely faced the opening of the anti-gun cave.

scolded.

When the remaining soldiers came to the position again after the air raid ended, because the only anti-aircraft firepower of the troops had been destroyed by Japanese aircraft, the Japanese bombing of the position could be said to be particularly thorough.

The entire blocking position was almost razed to the ground, and not even the shadow of the trenches could be seen.

What's more important is that, under the cover of aircraft, the remaining three hundred or so Japanese avant-garde troops are only a hundred meters away from the position. The heavy machine guns of the Japanese army serve as cover.

, then fired raindrops of bullets into the ruined position, leaving the soldiers who had emerged from the trenches with nowhere to hide and fight back.

Without the blocking position, facing the fierce heavy machine gun fire of the Japanese army, the only combat plan that can allow the first battalion to win is hand-to-hand combat. Only when the enemy and our soldiers are completely mixed together, the enemy's heavy machine gun fire and air reinforcements will not be able to

It posed a threat to themselves. And the entire battalion, under the command of the battalion commander, did just that.

There were only more than two hundred soldiers left. Under the orders of the first battalion commander, they all lay motionless on the ruined position, holding grenades tightly in their hands, ready to drop bombs at any time.

Preparation. Then, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japs. There was no obstruction from the machine guns on the blocking position. The Japs attacked very quickly. In less than a few seconds, the soldiers lying on the ruins

You can already clearly see the little devil's facial expression.

"Throw grenades, all mount bayonets, charge with me...Comrades, kill me..." After a shower of grenades, more than two hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers with rifles in hand appeared in the position that had been quiet just now. Two

More than a hundred soldiers, led by their respective commanders, shouted slogans and quickly rushed towards the little Japs who were struggling in the rain of grenades...

"Kill..." "Comrades, kill with me..." More than 200 soldiers, more than 200 little Japs who were left after the grenade explosion. No surprise, holding up the rifles with bayonets in their hands, they quickly

They collided together. There was a "chichi" sound of bayonets being stabbed into the body. Where the two armies came into contact, dozens of bodies fell down in random directions, including the corpses of both the enemy and our soldiers...

However, the two charging troops only stayed here for less than a few seconds before quickly rushing into the opponent's formation. In an instant, on the huge battlefield, a dense rain of bullets had just been spitting out.

The heavy machine gun stopped just because the hand-to-hand combat started. Everyone's eyes on the entire battlefield were attracted by the hand-to-hand combat here...

The impact of bayonets, the screams of soldiers before they died, and the shouts of soldiers were like a battle symphony, resounding on the battlefield. In the face of cruelty and bloodshed, every living soldier was instantly bayoneted.

They were stabbed into corpses... The round heads fell from the waves under the chopping of the warriors' swords. Thinking about the messy entanglements, they were like footballs.

Soldiers from both sides kicked around. In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred soldiers from both sides fell on the entire battlefield. At the same time, the air was slowly filled with thick blood...

"Baga, I really didn't expect that after less than a few years of development, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were originally poorly equipped, were not only equipped with a large number of weapons that were used by the Imperial Army, but more importantly, their hand-to-hand combat tactics were also improved.

It's so fast. Compared with the Japanese Imperial Army, it's even comparable. Bagaya Road..." Through the telescope, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, the division commander who had been watching the battle from behind, saw.

The proportion of enemy and friendly soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield never changed. He couldn't help but frown and let out an exclamation.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander. If nothing else happens, the final result of this hand-to-hand battle must be that the two troops were severely damaged at the same time and lost their combat effectiveness..." The Chief of Staff also nodded with deep understanding, without any doubts.

Anxious. Because they believe that as long as the Eighth Route Army can be completely wiped out in hand-to-hand combat, then they can easily occupy the blocking position in front of them, and the obstacles in front of their division will be easily eliminated.

.

"Yoshi, order all troops to prepare for departure. As soon as the hand-to-hand combat is over, the troops will immediately occupy the Eighth Route Army blocking positions and continue to advance." Lieutenant General Yamaoka Shigehou, the division commander, replied with confidence.

As time passed, there were more than 400 people on the melee battlefield just now. At this moment, there were less than 150 people left. Because officers at all levels in the guard brigade were equipped with a large number of shell guns, the Japanese army was very

Most of the casualties were caused by these shell guns. Therefore, among the more than 100 people left on the battlefield, the Japanese army only had a handful of less than one squad. More than 40 little Japanese soldiers, under the constant attack of the soldiers,

Under compression, they have already formed three stabbing formations back to back, preparing for their last fight...

However, although the soldiers were also red-eyed in the hand-to-hand combat just now. Even the battalion commander was stained red by the blood of the little devils at this moment because he killed seven or eight little devils in a row. Just think about it.

It was as if he had just crawled out of hell. However, when he saw that there were less than a hundred soldiers left in his battalion, he was looking at the thousands of Japanese main forces a few hundred meters away. The battalion commander did not hesitate at all and quickly

He dropped the rifle with a bent bayonet in his hand, picked up a crooked light machine gun that was thrown on the battlefield, loaded the bullet, and quickly walked towards the direction where the Japs were gathering.

"What are you doing standing still? Can the bullets in your hands be used as food? Open fire and retreat immediately. Do you want the little devil to make dumplings for us in the first battalion..." As he spoke, the commander of the first battalion had already

He raised the crooked light machine gun in his hand and pulled the trigger at the dozen or so stunned little Japs in front of him. He shot all the remaining bullets in the machine gun into the stomachs of the little Japs in front of him...

Suddenly, the entire position erupted with a burst of intense gunfire. The remaining dozens of little Japs were wiped out by the soldiers without even having time to react. As for the entire battalion, there were less than a hundred soldiers left.

, supported each other, and under the leadership of the first battalion commander, quickly retreated to the position. Along the communication trench, they withdrew from the battlefield. The blocking position, which had become a ruin, was given to the little Japanese...

"Report to the brigade commander that the first battalion failed to complete its mission and retreated after only holding on for fifty minutes. Please ask the brigade commander for punishment..." The first battalion commander, whose whole body was stained red with the blood of the little devil, slowly led the remaining soldiers of the army.

Slowly he arrived at the headquarters of the security brigade. Looking at the position one kilometer away that had been occupied by the Japanese army, the first battalion commander came to Bruce Lee and answered loudly.

"Battalion Commander Wang, you did a good job. The comrades all fought well and fought tenaciously. Although you retreated ten minutes early, what I want to tell you is that not only did you make no mistakes, but you actually made merit. Here we go.

When the time comes, I will definitely ask my superiors for credit. On your own position, with the strength of a battalion, you wiped out more than a thousand Japanese troops in less than an hour. It can be said that your battalion is ours.

Since the Guard Brigade joined the battle, it has eliminated the largest number of Japanese troops in battalion units. Comrades, not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you. Comrades, your task has been completed. The remaining tasks are

Other soldiers from the guard brigade will complete it. We will take revenge on the little devil for all the hatred of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives... Company Commander Wang, take the soldiers of the first battalion down to rest immediately. Remember, the field hospital must be used.

Use the best medicine to treat the wounded soldiers..." Looking at the remnants of less than a hundred soldiers in front of him, Bruce Lee, as the brigade commander, was very moved. After giving everyone a solemn military salute, he ordered loudly.

"Yes, brigade commander..." dozens of soldiers replied loudly. With the support of the logistics soldiers, they walked towards the brigade field hospital one after another.

"Brigadier Commander, after the battle that the 1st Battalion just fought, I think our security brigade should change its combat plan?" Looking at the leaving 1st Battalion, the Chief of Staff standing next to Bruce Lee suggested thoughtfully.

"Chief of Staff, I also mean this. We cannot defend our position. Otherwise, under the bombing of Japanese aircraft, the casualties of the soldiers will be very huge. Just like the first battalion just fought for less than an hour.

In just a short time, the army lost four-fifths... Chief of Staff, what do you mean?" Bruce Lee said. Then, he looked at the Chief of Staff beside him.
