Chapter 470 The ultimate power of giant grenades
Although Zhang Junhao respects Vice Captain Colonel Brandon, he does not listen to him at all.
Zhang Junhao has full confidence. First, he believes that the commando has the ability to stop the Japanese army. Second, Zhang Junhao is waiting for the opportunity. He wants the main force of the Japanese army to gather as close as possible to the side of the sparse belt, and then uses fifty giant grenades weighing two kilograms in a canvas bag to blow the main force of the Japanese army.
Giant grenades have wooden handles and covers at the ends of the handles.
Zhang Junhao ordered Wu Qiong and Li Li to take out the grenade, unscrew the lid, hook the leads out with their fingers, and discharge them together.
When Brandon found out that Zhang Junhao didn't listen to him, he could not say anything more, so he could only sigh in his heart. He held the submachine gun tightly in his hands and was ready to shoot at any time.
Brandon also wanted to see how Zhang Junhao commanded the war and how Zhang Junhao fought in person. If Zhang Junhao made a major command mistake, I'm sorry, Zhang Junhao would have to stand aside, and Colonel Brandon would take over the command.
Brandon participated in World War I and led his team to fight with the German and Japanese troops many times on the battlefield of World War II, achieving brilliant results. How could he be willing to fall under Zhang Junhao? For him, he had to wait for an opportunity.
The two Japanese squadron leaders were in the dense forest not far from the sparse belt. They were staying under a big tree two hundred meters apart, and were using telescopes to observe the sparse belt and the situation opposite through the dense forest.
The unknown airborne troops did not fire artillery, which made them more courageous. They thought that as long as there was no artillery bombing, they would definitely be able to rush through the sparse belt and rushed to the artillery position of the unknown airborne troops in one fell swoop. After completely destroying the artillery position, they would in turn hunt down the unknown airborne troops trying to siege them.
The two Japanese brigades negotiated with walkie-talkies and decided to attack at the same time. All light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers were set up along the dense forest and bombed the opposite side of the sparse belt. The infantry carried a bayonet with a 38-cap charge under the cover of the machine gun. The sparse belt was only twenty meters wide and could cross it in a few steps. The two Japanese brigades believed that the main force must be as close to the edge of the sparse belt as possible. In this way, the artillery of unknown airborne Chinese troops would not dare to bomb, and if it were bombed, it would inevitably hurt itself.
We must not underestimate the command ability of middle and lower-level Japanese officers. In Zhang Junhao's view, senior Japanese officers lack strategic gaze, but middle and lower-level officers are all experts and have extremely high tactical qualities. The 18th Division has been fighting, and grassroots commanders must have developed extremely high command ability under the training of war.
The commando only has light weapons. No matter how exquisite the deployment is, it is impossible to defend the position under the suppression of the Japanese light and heavy machine guns. This is the same as the British and American special forces fighting behind enemy lines. It has extremely strong harassment capabilities and weak ability to overcome difficulties.
Suddenly, all the Japanese light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers opened fire at the same time, and flames rushed out of the dense forest, and shells flew over the sparse belt.
Under the suppression of the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, the commando was immediately suppressed and could only lie on the ground and could not move. The bullets flew continuously above the bodies of the officers and soldiers like bloody devils, and they would be shot if they were not careful.
Zhang Junhao was also suppressed by the firepower of the Japanese army and hid behind a big tree with Colonel Brandon.
Colonel Brandon looked at Zhang Junhao and sighed heavily, "General Zhang, you have seen him stubbornly, and the consequences of not listening to advice are reflected, right?"
Zhang Junhao sneered: "Col. I am the captain. Please don't interfere with my command will. This is discipline! I know how to fight."
Colonel Brandon quickly shut up.
Zhang Junhao frowned, looked up at the top of the big tree, and said to Wu Qiong and Li Li: "Put the grenade back into the bag."
Wu Qiong and Li Li quickly unscrewed the back cover on the ground, and put all the grenades in canvas bags.
Zhang Junhao picked up the canvas bag, put it on his shoulder, took a few steps back, ran quickly towards the big tree, and jumped onto the five-meter-high branches, shocking Colonel Brandon, Wu Qiong, Li Li and others.
At this time, more than a dozen Japanese troops were rushing out of the dense forest with bayonets and attacking the commando positions.
After Zhang Junhao climbed up the tree, he put the canvas bag stably, took out the grenades, pulled the leads and threw them to the Japanese machine gun positions on the edge of the dense forest opposite the sparse belt at both ends. Giant grenades flew out parabola and landed near the Japanese machine gun positions. Such grenades can easily blow up even Japanese tanks! Their power is equivalent to large-caliber mortar shells. Each grenade can blow up the Japanese army within a dozen square meters of surrounding areas, killing and injuring them everywhere.
After more than a dozen grenades were thrown out, the Japanese machine guns were silent for a long time. They rushed into the sparse belt and the Japanese lost the cover of the machine guns. The commando's submachine guns and grenades exerted their power and quickly eliminated the Japanese army. At this time, the commando snipers and semi-automatic rifle players who were climbing on the tree also began to accurately snipe at the opposite Japanese army.
Zhang Junhao was discovered by the Japanese army, and the Japanese machine guns fired at the big tree where Zhang Junhao was located.
Zhang Junhao had to jump off the big tree.
Zhang Junhao took the canvas bag and retreated to a place where the Japanese machine gun could not hit, so he stopped.
Take out the grenade from the canvas bag and throw it continuously at the position of the Japanese machine gun position determined by the feeling.
Colonel Brandon, Wu Qiong, Li Li and two guards also retreated to Zhang Junhao to assist Zhang Junhao in throwing grenades.
Zhang Junhao kept moving in the dense forest. Whenever he heard the sound of machine guns on the opposite side, he would throw grenades at the opposite side.
After throwing all fifty grenades, Zhang Junhao returned to the big tree he had stood before.
At this time, only a few of the Japanese machine guns on the opposite side were still firing, most of which were either blown up by grenades thrown by Zhang Junhao, or the machine gunners were killed by commandos climbing onto trees.
There are two or three hundred Japanese corpses lying on the sparse belt. How many Japanese troops were killed or injured in the dense forest are unknown.
Colonel Brandon gave Zhang Junhao a thumbs up and said, "I'm open. No wonder you have such strong confidence. It turns out that you are a god! You can throw more than 100 meters of grenades with two kilograms. I guess the number of Japanese troops killed and injured by the grenades is no less than 200."
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "There won't be so many, right?"
Brandon smiled and said, "Yes! You focus on throwing grenades. I often use a telescope to observe the grenade landing points through the woods. Each grenade can explode a large area when it falls. The Japanese army gathered on the edge of the forest, and the grenades were exerted with their ultimate power."
Zhang Junhao laughed and said: "It doesn't matter how many Japanese troops were killed. The key is to blow the machine gun and grenade launcher to silence the fire. Unfortunately, there are still fewer grenades brought."
Colonel Brandon said: "After the Japanese offensive was defeated, I don't know what the Japanese army will do next."
Zhang Junhao looked at Colonel Brandon's eyes and said, "You are a general of war. Through the special melee team's shelling and three infantry teams blocking it. I estimate the number of people who may have been eliminated and the remaining people in the attack just now."
Colonel Brandon calculated with his fingers, and after a while, he said: "According to my calculations, under the attack of artillery, there may be about 500 people, and at least 300 people were eliminated in front of the three infantry detachments. There are more than 300 people lying on the sparse woods of trees. There may be 500 Japanese troops on the edge of the forest or killed by grenades, snipers, or killed by submachine guns. In other words, the Japanese army has been eliminated by 1,600 people, and at least 1,300 people have been eliminated. The remaining less than 900 people, and it may even be only 600 people. Two Japanese brigades were defeated by our special melee team."
Zhang Junhao asked with a smile: "What do you think the Japanese army will do next?"
Brandon sighed and said, "The primitive jungle is too dense to see the movements of the Japanese army intuition."
Zhang Junhao said: "Of course we can only guess."
Colonel Brandon said: "The Japanese army has been beaten and is in chaos."
Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "It makes sense, I think so too. No matter how many troops the Japanese army still have, I think in order to eliminate the Japanese army before dark, we must find a way to drive the Japanese army to the infantry detachment, and we must not let the Japanese army hide in the jungle."
Colonel Brandon was shocked and said, "You don't want to go into the jungle and chase the Japanese army in person, right? That's too dangerous, there are many crises everywhere. Chasing into the jungle now will lead to major casualties."
