Predator Reborn

Chapter 577: Fatal Blow

Because more than 2,000 soldiers of the 26th Infantry Regiment of the Japanese Pioneer Regiment stalled under the resolute blockage of various anti-Japanese armed forces. In the end, more than 10,000 soldiers led by the division commander Lieutenant General Sato were all

Crowded on a road less than three kilometers long, unable to advance or retreat...

Listening to the continuous sound of gunfire coming from the direction of the Pioneer Regiment, Lieutenant General Sato's heart was already in his throat. Under the protection of a group of guards, he kept walking back and forth on the road to vent his anger.

At this moment, I felt anxious in my heart. At the same time, I kept raising the telescope in my hand, looking solemnly at the blocking position that was under fire at this moment...

"Baga, what's wrong with Mr. Chi Mu? It's been half an hour now. Why haven't the troops opened a breakthrough yet? Doesn't he know that nearly 20,000 imperial soldiers are waiting for his victory?

Good news..." Listening to the sound of intensive gunfire on the battlefield one kilometer away, Lieutenant General Sato, who had already looked anxious, put down the telescope in his hand and asked the chief of staff beside him loudly.

road...

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the report just given by Colonel Chi Mu, they have encountered an extremely tenacious blockade by the Eighth Route Army. At present, the troops have launched no less than ten squadron-sized group charges in a row. At the same time, the entire regiment has also

Nearly a thousand soldiers died in battle. Although the Eighth Route Army troops on the opposite side also suffered heavy casualties, they still did not retreat..." The chief of staff had to answer the words he had just answered again.

....

"Asshole, you cunning Eighth Route Army. They must have known that we were about to break out and were prepared in advance. Chief of Staff, immediately send out the division's guard brigade to reinforce it for Colonel Chi Mu. Tell Mr. Chi Mu and ask him to strengthen the offensive against the Eighth Route Army's blocking position.

.I am giving her ten minutes. If the task cannot be completed in ten minutes, then he will directly apologize to His Majesty the Emperor..." At this critical moment, Lieutenant General Sato's face gradually revealed

With a hint of murderous intent, he ordered the chief of staff in front of him with a solemn expression...

"Hai, your Excellency, the division commander, I will go and convey the order immediately..."

However, just when Lieutenant General Sato's order was issued and the guard group of nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers was just preparing to set off, more than thirty mortars were located on the artillery position behind the blocking position. The artillery battalion commander was firing

Under personal command, he raised his dark muzzle...

36 mortars, except for 12 mortars, which are used to support the defenders of blocking positions and shell the attacking Japanese troops. The remaining 24 mortars are all aimed at the densely packed main force of the Japanese army.

Prepare to use artillery fire to kill a large number of Japanese troops...

"fire..."

Following an order from the artillery battalion commander, 36 mortar shells were immediately thrown high into the sky amid a dull sound of mortar shells being ejected. Then, a line was drawn in the sky

A perfect arc, accurately falling into his target...

In an instant, Colonel Chi Mu, who had just received the order from the division commander to strengthen the offensive force into two squadrons, could only look at the 300 elite imperial soldiers a few hundred meters away, who had just rushed to the Eighth Route Army position. It was only a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the smoke generated by the explosion of more than a dozen shells was completely enveloped...

Amidst the dense explosions, just when the three hundred Japanese soldiers who were filled with gunpowder smoke had not yet reacted from the shock, the second round of 12 shells came one after another, accurately landing in the gunpowder smoke.

middle.....

At the same time, just as the three hundred charging Japs were being tortured under intensive shelling, the remaining two mortar companies, with a total of 24 shells, also accurately landed on the 26th Infantry

Behind the regiment, nearly 20,000 little Japs gathered in a dense marching column...

In the dense marching column of the Japanese army, the explosion of almost every artillery shell can set off a bloody storm... With just one explosion of 24 artillery shells, the Japanese army's dense marching column of 20,000 people was bombed.

A total of 24 big holes were made...

Of course, these 24 large holes were just the prelude to the entire bombardment. Because, in order to achieve the purpose of using artillery shells as much as possible to weaken the effective strength of the Japanese army, the entire artillery battalion, under Liu Hua's order, carried thousands of rounds of artillery shells

....

Instantly, as the bombardment began, mortar shells fell one after another, as if they had eyes, among the dense Japanese troops. The flying shrapnel generated by the explosion of the shells continued to kill and injure those standing in the way.

All the Japanese soldiers in front of me...

Facing the flying shells above their heads, there were nearly 20,000 soldiers closely behind the forward unit. They had not eaten any food for almost two days. Moreover, after a day of bloody battle, they were already exhausted and had no strength at all. More importantly,

In order to support the vanguard unit, the little Japanese, who had only a handful of bullets in their hands, immediately fell into panic and chaos...

"Asshole, it's an artillery bombardment. We were fooled by the Eighth Route Army's artillery bombardment. The Eighth Route Army has an ambush here...Hurry up, hold on, the troops must not be in disorder...The troops are ordered to build fortifications on the spot and must block the enemy's counterattack.

..”

Feeling the heat wave caused by the explosion of shells around me. Looking at the troops around me, amidst the dense artillery fire, they were about to fall into chaos. From the time I left the city to now, I saw that the worries in my heart had finally become a reality.

Lieutenant General Sato ignored the dissuasion of the guards around him, drew out his command sword, rushed into the chaotic soldiers around him, and roared loudly. At the same time, the bright and cold command sword struck hard at a soldier.

A soldier with a panic look on his face...

The prestige of the division commander, as well as the command knife dripping with blood in his hand, acted as a deterrent at this moment... In less than a few minutes, although the artillery fire around him was still fierce. However, with the division

Lieutenant General Sato, the commander of the regiment, was in the center. Within a radius of several hundred meters, no chaotic Japanese troops could be seen anymore...

Under the command of commanders at all levels, the little Japanese soldiers lay on the ground. Amidst the flying artillery fire, they used the engineering shovels and even bayonets in their hands to start building their own single bunkers...

However, what makes people feel fortunate is that the directions of the Japanese defensive positions are all pointed directly in front of them, which is the direction from which the artillery shells are fired. There is basically no defense behind them and on both sides...

Behind the Japanese army and on both wings, these three directions have almost no defense... The three main regiments personally commanded by Commander Zhou Baozhong are slowly approaching the Japanese position under the cover of night...

Under the light of the fire caused by the explosion of the artillery shells, every move on the Japanese army's position was clearly displayed in the eyes of the soldiers. Various artillery pieces belonging to the three main regiments from three directions fired at the same time.

At the current Japanese army, they began to fire artillery shells one after another. Prepare to use dense artillery shells to disrupt their defensive formation...

Under the cover of fierce artillery fire behind them, the little Japs who were already frightened in front of the soldiers immediately fell into panic. And just when the attention of these Japs soldiers was all attracted by these artillery fires. Three of them

The main force group, with more than 5,000 commanders and fighters, was like a tiger descending from the mountain, shouting shocking slogans, and rushed towards the group of little devils who were in chaos at this moment...

"Comrades, charge... beat me hard, don't let this little devil go, kill..." The soldiers with high morale, abundant physical strength, and sufficient ammunition. They were wounded and hungry in front of them.

The little devil is so impatient, has almost no physical strength, and the ammunition in his hands has been exhausted long ago. The final result can be imagined...

Before the Japanese army could organize an effective resistance, the wolf-like soldiers rushed into the ranks of the Japanese army at their fastest speed... Faced with what was in front of them, they always committed all kinds of evil.

.But due to the loss of physical strength, at this moment, they were like weak little devils like sheep. Without any hesitation, these commanders and fighters stabbed the bayonets in their hands into their chests...

Each of the Japanese soldiers had almost no physical strength. No matter how powerful they were in combat and no matter how well-trained they were, they fell to the bayonets of the soldiers in just one round when faced with wolf-like warriors.

...

Looking at the bayonets grazing on their chests, looking at the Eighth Route Army soldiers standing in front of them, glaring at themselves with red eyes, one by one. The only thing these little devils wanted to say before they died was: "The Eighth Route Army is big."

Cunning, why can't you wait until I have a full meal and have enough strength before I start the stabbing..."

Of course, on this ever-changing battlefield, even if the soldiers want to give these little Japs a chance, those sacrificed soldiers and the fellow villagers who died tragically under the little Japs' butcher's knife will not agree to the little Japs' request.

In just an instant, nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers who stood in front of the soldiers fell into a pool of blood... The whole air was also filled with a strong smell of blood for the first time...

..

Of course, after countless bloody battles, these soldiers are no longer new recruits on the battlefield. They are twenty-one well-trained veterans with certain psychological endurance. Faced with the strong smell of blood in the air,

There was no longer any fear, but bloodthirsty eyes were revealed on their faces...

"Comrades, beat me hard, kill all the little devils, and pay for the sacrifice of the brothers...Kill me hard..." Roars filled with murderous intent rang out among the charging crowd, and became even more...

Intensified the soldiers' hatred of the Japs...

As a result, the eyes of these soldiers were already filled with bloodthirsty eyes because of the tragic scene in front of them. Without any hesitation, they immediately stepped on the corpses of little Japanese on the ground and continued to charge and kill the enemy...

At this moment, Lieutenant General Sato, who had just gathered thousands of soldiers and built a series of strong defenses with himself as the center. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was suddenly hit by a sudden burst of gunfire from behind him.

The sound of cannons startled me...

Hearing the sudden explosion behind him, Lieutenant General Sato reacted from the shock and quickly raised the telescope in his hand. Under the light of the fire, he saw devil-like Eighth Route Army soldiers rushing in quickly.

The formation of his own rearguard stabbed his imperial soldiers, who had almost no physical strength, to the ground one by one. Lieutenant General Sato suddenly stayed in place...

Because he knew clearly in his heart that although he had nearly 10,000 infantry troops at his rear, they looked very elite. However, after two days of no food, a day of bloody battles, and a lack of ammunition...

These nearly 10,000 well-trained and well-equipped infantry troops can exert 10% of their usual combat effectiveness, which is already very good...

Looking around, we can see the Eighth Route Army troops attacking on our side and rear. From their mental outlook, firepower density, and the morale of the troops, we can clearly know that these thousands of Eighth Route Army troops must be the real elite troops in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

.And this elite unit is specifically designed to attack its own weak spots...

With more than 10,000 troops, we can only exert 10% of the usual combat effectiveness. In an open plain area without any obstacles, how long can we resist against thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers who look like wolves and tigers and have strong combat effectiveness?

Time, only God knows...

Thinking of this, large beads of sweat appeared on Lieutenant General Sato's forehead. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. He regretted why he didn't think of this in the first place. He regretted that he had,

Why not continue to hold on to the county seat. After all, in the county seat, our troops still have some fortifications to resist. But here, our troops can only stand on the open plains under the crazy attacks of the Eighth Route Army, such as

Like a pig, he was brutally killed by the cunning Eighth Route Army...

"Baga, Liu Hua, is indeed an excellent commander and a powerful enemy of the Japanese Empire... The troops of the three regiments are like three sharp knives in his hands, piercing them fiercely.

Our weak point... It seems that our opponent wants to launch the most deadly attack on us, and then surround us here and annihilate us..." After a short silence, Lieutenant General Sato faced the side

A group of officers muttered to themselves...

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, our army is currently being attacked by the Eighth Route Army on a large scale from four directions at the same time. What should we do? Are we just going to watch helplessly as so many outstanding Imperial Army soldiers barely have any ability to fight back?

Fell under the bayonet of the Eighth Route Army..." Faced with such a severe situation, he saw the Eighth Route Army troops not far away, getting closer and closer to the headquarters, looking like murderous gods. The face of the Chief of Staff could no longer be seen.

Calm and confident before leaving the city, he asked with a panicked look...

"Chief of Staff, for the present plan, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Eighth Route Army, we have only the last option left. That is to use our tactics and engage in a final decisive battle with the surrounding Eighth Route Army here. Since the Eighth Route Army wants to

The decisive battle is here, so we will deploy in advance... After passing the order, the forward 26th Infantry Regiment will immediately retreat and assume the task of protecting the division headquarters. The remaining troops will actively shrink the defense and use the division headquarters

As the center, build a ring of fortifications... The Eighth Route Army wanted to make a surprise attack on us, but today, I refused to let them do it..." Lieutenant General Sato had a sinister look on his face. Facing the people in front of him,

The chief of staff ordered with a murderous look on his face...

"Hi, your Excellency, the division commander is wise, I will go and convey the order right away..." Although I don't know whether Lieutenant General Sato's order can save the fate of this division at the last moment. However, the staff officers who were already panicking

Chang, could only take the order and leave, and replied loudly...

Following Lieutenant General Sato's order, the soldiers attacked from four directions. In an instant, their fierce offensive was like hitting a sponge... The little devils they met along the way were no longer available.

Just like at the beginning, he held out the bayonet in his hand and launched a suicidal counterattack against himself. Or because he was frightened, he could only stay in place and wait for the Eighth Route Army's bayonet to pierce his chest.

At this moment, the little devil faced the swarming Eighth Route Army soldiers and the division commander's order to retreat. Without any hesitation, he immediately spread his legs and fled around the division headquarters...

The soldiers with red eyes who had already been killed, faced with the hurriedly fleeing Japs, could only drive the groups of Japs toward their division headquarters like ducks...

Half an hour passed... The sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield slowly stopped as the enemy and our front lines gradually stabilized.

In this half hour, several thousand of the most elite soldiers of the Japanese forward wing were blocked for more than half an hour, coupled with the crazy counterattacks of various anti-Japanese armed forces. Only a few of the entire wing were left.

More than 800 people, all gathered around Lieutenant General Sato, holding on to the last line of defense around the division headquarters...

As for the main force of the Japanese army, which was attacked simultaneously from three directions at the same time, due to lack of ammunition, the soldiers had no physical strength... For various reasons, after half an hour of corrupt defense, more than 10,000 soldiers at the rear of the army finally escaped to

There were only more than 6,000 people left inside the defensive circle...Almost 5,000 little Japs fell under the bayonets of the soldiers...
