Chapter 576: Life and Death Blockade

Seeing the questioning look on the chief of staff's face, the commander continued...

"Mr. Shaochuan, according to our intelligence, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army gathered around Baishan County is only more than 20,000 people. And according to my observation during today's battle during the day, the Eighth Route Army attacked our army from the east, west, and south of Baishan County.

The total strength of the Eighth Route Army is definitely more than 15,000 people... In other words, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army surrounding Baishan County is only more than 5,000 people at most... Evenly distributed, the Eighth Route Army troops blocking us

, there are only more than 2,000 people left at most. Therefore, the Chief of Staff does not need to worry too much, we will definitely be able to complete the tasks assigned by the Division Commander..."

"Hey, your Excellency, the commander of the company is wise... If the Eighth Route Army troops blocking us are really only more than 2,000 people. I believe that with our more than 2,000 well-equipped and powerful Japanese Imperial Army troops, we will be able to easily

We will defeat the Eighth Route Army in front of us and open the Eighth Route Army's blockade against our army..." Under the wing captain's explanations, the wing chief of staff, who was nervous along the way, finally relaxed and continued to speak confidently.

said...

More than half an hour passed quickly... During this half-hour of rapid march, the well-equipped Japanese army, unexpectedly, covered a distance of almost three kilometers. And just like these little devils, they were so aggressive.

, when they were about to continue their forced march. In the dark night, an iron wall composed of thousands of anti-Japanese armed forces stood in front of them, blocking their way to break out...

"Da da da..." A burst of intensive machine gun fire broke the tranquility of the entire night sky... Directly in front of the Japanese vanguard squadron, on a ridge less than fifty meters apart, there were more than a dozen dense tongues of flames and a large number of rifles.

The crossfire network formed by bullets enveloped more than a hundred little devils in an instant...

The poor little devils, after more than half an hour of forced march, almost all of them were physically and mentally exhausted... Faced with the sudden heavy rain of bullets, they had not yet recovered from the shock.

One after another, they were beaten into a hornet's nest and fell unwillingly into a pool of blood, turning into bloody corpses...

As soon as he heard the gunfire, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Chi Mu, who was following the vanguard squadron, jumped off his horse at the same time. Then, under the cover of the guards around him, he quickly hid on both sides of the road.

among the bushes...

Just when the commander's face was confused because of the brief and rapid sound of machine gun fire that he suddenly remembered, a major captain ran over panting and reported: "Report to your Excellency, the commander, vanguard squadron

Met with a tenacious resistance from the Eighth Route Army, the entire army was destroyed and no one survived..."

"Nani, the entire avant-garde squadron was wiped out. How is it possible that in less than two minutes of rapid firepower, more than a hundred elite imperial soldiers were wiped out... Bagh Yalu, I want revenge, I must

Annihilate all the Eighth Route Army troops standing in front of us..."

After a brief shock, the face of the commander was immediately shrouded in a serious and murderous look. Facing the commander of the commander, who once again had a dark face on his face, he ordered loudly...

"Order the troops to assemble all the grenades of the entire regiment and bombard the Eighth Route Army positions. The entire infantry regiment, with squadrons as units, under the cover of all the heavy firepower of the entire regiment, takes turns to launch continuous group charges against the Eighth Route Army positions.

..In a word, we must open a breakthrough on the Eighth Route Army's blocking position within ten minutes and start executing it immediately..."

"Hai, your Excellency the captain..." Facing the report of the major captain, the chief of staff once again showed a worried look on his face. Although he was very worried about his future. However, facing a man who was full of murderous intent and could kill at any time,

The captain of the company had to take the order and leave quickly...

In less than a few minutes, on the blocking position, hundreds of anti-Japanese armed forces were celebrating their victory in annihilating a Japanese squadron. The Japanese army's overwhelming retaliatory bombardment followed one after another...

Although, at this moment, the Japanese army has lost all its heavy artillery, including all large-caliber mortars. However, for the Japanese squadrons, the standard grenade launchers have been greatly strengthened...

A field infantry regiment, specially reinforced by Lieutenant General Sato, had more than a hundred grenade launchers, and simultaneously fired grenades one after another at the Eighth Route Army blocking position in front of them, which was celebrating grandly...

Although, in terms of explosive power and power of shells, grenade-specific grenades are far inferior to large-caliber howitzer shells and mortar shells. However, the precise shooting of the grenade and the density of grenades are still in the first place.

For a time, it caused huge casualties to the defenders on the position...

Amidst the violent explosions one after another, the soldiers who had been in high spirits just now, because of the victory they had just won, and who were full of hope for the future, instantly fell into a pool of blood... In the air, the blows of flying shrapnel

Underneath, they turned into bloody corpses...

Finally, with a huge explosion, the Japanese artillery bombardment ended. Just now, the forward position with more than 500 people and high morale was filled with thick smoke. As for the incomplete trenches

, there are only about two hundred people left who can still move...

And while the more than two hundred surviving soldiers, who had never experienced such fierce artillery fire, were still in a daze, in front of the blocking position, more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns deployed by the Japanese army fired an overwhelming firepower net, once again

The position that is being filled with gunpowder smoke is completely shrouded in it...

"Kill..." More than a hundred little devils, before the Eighth Route Army on the position could react from the shock, raised their rifles with bayonets in their hands in awe, like a burst of yellow

Like a wave, it quickly rushed towards the position filled with smoke and without any movement...

"Brothers, the little devil is coming up, let's open fire... Machine gunner, open fire immediately, hit me hard..." Finally, amidst the intensive gunfire, an armed leader stood guard on the forward position.

, reacting from the shock, he exclaimed loudly to the soldiers beside him who were still in a daze...

"Brothers, beat me hard...ta da da..." Immediately, the soldiers who reacted from the shock raised their weapons and took the risk of being shot dead at any time.

I moved the trigger of the weapon in my hand...

Bullets filled with hatred came and went between the enemy's and our positions... Although the soldiers' numerous obstructions caused a large number of casualties to the more than a hundred little Japs responsible for the charge.

..However, in front of the position, under the intensive fire of more than 100 light and heavy machine guns of the Japanese army, coupled with the precise marksmanship of ordinary Japanese infantry...the casualties of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who stood firm on the position increased several times.

...

The charge of one group of Japs was repelled, and the second group of Japs immediately raised their rifles and launched a new round of charge... Similarly, the various anti-Japanese armed forces holding on to the position fought hard as a group.

When all was gone, the second brigade immediately made up for it and the battle continued. When the second brigade was all gone, the third brigade continued to make up...

As for the ammunition on my body, when I ran out of bullets, I used grenades. When I ran out of grenades, I used the bayonet in my hand to engage in the most intense and cruel hand-to-hand combat with the little Japanese in front of me...

Under the command of the commander of the unit, Colonel Chi Mu, the battle that should have been resolved in ten minutes ended up lasting for twenty minutes without any resolution...

In the twenty-minute battle, the little Japanese, who had already been red-eyed, launched five squadron-sized attacks, and each attack became more fierce. At the same time, in these twenty minutes, facing the Japanese army, one hundred

Multiple light and heavy machine guns fired wildly, coupled with the Japanese army's flexible grenade attacks.

The anti-Japanese armed forces holding on to the position also fully supplemented the strength of four entire brigades... After twenty minutes of fierce fighting, the four brigades, a total of two thousand soldiers, at this moment, plus all the heavy and heavy

There are only less than 500 wounded people left...

And under the illumination of the piles of bonfires ignited by artillery fire on the position, the tragic scene in front of the position was vividly reflected in everyone's eyes... The corpses of hundreds of little Japanese soldiers, nearly a thousand because of hand-to-hand combat,

, the corpses of anti-Japanese armed soldiers who were sacrificed in front of the position and dressed in various clothes were placed in layers in various poses in an area of ​​200 to more than 20 meters in front of the position...

And looking at the positions held by the soldiers, the corpses of the soldiers who were shot and died before they could be transported away were also piled up in layers in the trenches. Under the influence of each corpse, under the influence of

Before the battle started, the originally spacious trenches were now without even a place to stay...

"Baga, order the troops to continue charging me. Tell all the soldiers who can continue to fight that behind us, the lives of more than 10,000 Imperial Japanese Army soldiers and the life of Lieutenant General Sato are in our hands. Today

The battle at night was unsuccessful, so Cheng Ren... continued the attack until the Eighth Route Army blocking position was captured..." Seeing the corpses of Imperial Army soldiers in front of the Eighth Route Army position... Captain Chi Mu, the commander of the regiment, did not have any thoughts.

Hesitantly, he continued to issue the order to attack...

"Battle Commander Zhao, this little Jaap is absolutely crazy... So many people have died, yet he still charges... Otherwise, we ask Deputy Commander Yang for help and ask him to provide us with some artillery support.

Reduce the pressure on the brothers on the front line..." Battalion Commander Zhao Guanghua, the temporary commander-in-chief of nearly 10,000 anti-Japanese armed forces in the forward headquarters of the garrison, silently looked at the bloody battlefield in front of him when another leader beside him reminded him

...

"Brothers, gentlemen...Although we have been resisting the Japanese and fighting the Japanese for a long time, we all wear the skin of bandits after all. In the eyes of the common people, we are just bandits...Now is our chance

Here, as long as we complete this mission, we can take off this skin, join the Eighth Route Army, and become heroes in the eyes of the people..."

"Commander Liu of the Eighth Route Army entrusted us with such an important task because he thinks highly of us and gives us a test... If we go to ask for help now, how will we let the Eighth Route Army view us... More importantly, Commander Liu of the Eighth Route Army

The Communists have assured us that all the brothers who participated in tonight's battle and died will be buried according to the treatment of the Eighth Route Army...Brothers, leaders. In short, I, Zhao Guanghua, don't know if I will ask Deputy Yang

The commander went to ask for help, but at least he will not ask for help now... If anyone has any objections, they can call Deputy Commander Yang themselves. I, Zhao Guanghua, will never say another word..." Zhao Guanghua categorically denied it.

road...

"Battle Commander Zhao, stop talking. The worst is, I'm going to hand over my weight of more than 100 kilograms here today... Even if we wipe out all the troops, we will never let a little devil escape from our position.

Rush over... Next, let my brothers from Hutou Mountain go up... Dear heroes, Battalion Commander Zhao Guanghua, brothers, I am taking the first step, I hope you all take care..." Just when Zhao Guanghua said these words

After that, a big Northeastern man with a murderous look on his face picked up the two shell guns he carried with him and rushed out of the headquarters with a murderous look on his face...

"Don't fight me. My brothers from Jinniu Mountain will be next... Battalion Commander Zhao, please help me give Commander Liu Hua a message, saying that I obey him. If I die in battle, I hope I can wear it."

Buried in uniform of the Eighth Route Army..." Another Northeastern man said with determination...

Inside the headquarters, everyone's face showed a look of farewell... Of course, the forward position had already been completely enveloped by the intensive sound of gunfire... Under the Japanese charges one after another,

The soldiers braved the hail of bullets fired by the Japanese army and shot precise bullets into the bodies of the little devils. They threw the smoking grenades into the group of little devils...

"Brothers, the commander of the Eighth Route Army said that all the brothers who participated in the battle today are already heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers. Our brothers have been bandits all their lives, and today they can become heroic Eighth Route Army soldiers. This life is worth it...

.Brothers, rush down with me and fight with the little Japs at the bottom of the mountain. Kill one to earn enough money. Kill a pair to earn one. Kill the Japs..."

A huge roar sounded, and the hundreds of soldiers who were suppressed by the Japanese machine gun fire could not lift their heads. They fought back... Seeing the nearly a hundred little Japs rushing in front of them, they did not hesitate at all, and immediately rushed to the leader.

Under the leadership of the policemen, they held up rifles with bayonets already mounted in their hands, or held up grenades that were emitting smoke, and rushed into the group of Japanese soldiers as if they were dead.

Amidst a burst of dense explosions and the soldiers' shouts of killing...more than a hundred little Japs quickly disappeared into thin air and disappeared into the world. However, the more than 300 soldiers who had just charged, at this moment

, there are less than a hundred people left, and everyone is still injured...

Of course, just as the remnants of less than a hundred soldiers were supporting each other and returning to their positions, another brigade, led by a leader, took over the defense task of the front and rear positions and continued to block the Japs' attack...

Behind the forward position under heavy artillery fire, Yang Jingyu, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion, was holding in his hand. He also stared solemnly at the extremely tragic forward position in front of him... Standing next to Yang Jingyu was the entire mortar battalion.

battalion commander...

"Deputy Commander, let Pao Ying fire the artillery... So many heroes fell into the gun of the little Japs... I promise that with only one artillery battery, we will destroy the firepower of the Japs' heavy machine guns.

..."Looking at the groups of anti-Japanese armed soldiers falling under the guns of the little devils. The battalion commander had a look of pain on his face and begged to the deputy commander beside him...

"Correspondent, contact the commander immediately and ask if all the Japanese breakout troops have left the city..." Regarding the request of the artillery battalion commander around him, Yang Jingyu felt extremely heavy because of the large number of soldiers killed in action. Although he wanted to agree to the artillery battalion commander's request,

It was not an excessive request. However, thinking about the entire battle situation, Yang Jingyu still became cruel, shook his head, and ordered to the correspondent behind him...

Just like that, ten minutes later, an exciting news that made Yang Jingyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief finally reached everyone's ears...

"Reporting to Commander Yang, the latest news from the forward scouts is that all the Japanese breakout troops have left the city. At the same time, the three main regiments led by Commander Zhou Baozhong have all arrived at their total positions. The commander asked our army to start the final counterattack.

The first shot..." the correspondent reported with excitement...

"Okay, great, it's finally time... Battalion Commander Zhang, let's look at your mortar battalion. Now I order the artillery battalion to set up positions immediately and prepare for launch... forward position

All troops, prepare for counterattack... Comrades, I, Yang Jingyu, am here to avenge you... Artillery battalion, fire..." Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu's clenched hands finally relaxed. To

Looking at the artillery battalion commander who had been waiting impatiently beside him, he ordered loudly.

"Deputy Commander Yang, don't worry, the artillery battalion will ensure the completion of the mission..." Facing Deputy Commander Yang Jingyu's order, the face of the artillery battalion commander immediately showed a look of eagerness and confidence.

Guaranteed...
