When he walked five hundred meters further forward, he was about to come out of the mountain. The squadron leader was even more vigilant than before. He was very convinced that there would be no enemy ambush troops ahead, and continued to urge the troops to speed up the march and arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible.

“Bah…”

A gunshot rang on the ridge to the left of the squadron leader, and then a scream rang in his ear. The guards walking beside him fell to the ground, and a bloody hole was punched in his chest.

The squadron leader was shocked and realized that he was being targeted.

If the guard hadn't just shot him, he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

He quickly lay down and shouted: "The enemy attacks... dongdongdongdongdong... dadada..."

Before he finished speaking, the dull sound of heavy machine guns, the dense sound of crooked handles, and the crisp sound of three-eight large-cap guns... were already heard, instantly suppressing his orders.

The squadron leader was very lucky and immediately lay on the ground to avoid this round of bullet rain.

The subordinates in front, back, left and right were not so lucky. Wherever the bullets went, they were like living targets, swept to the ground in pieces.

The screams of soldiers, the scolding of officers, the clanging of weapons and ammunition hitting the ground, the whizzing sound of bullets passing through the sky... It quickly turned into a circle!

The squadron leader was stunned when facing this scene. The opponent exposed the machine gun firepower too strong, and the number of light and heavy machine guns was several times that of his own.

A quick glance around, more than 200 subordinates had half of the officers and soldiers fell to the ground, either dead or injured.

The squadron leader knew that he had to change the predicament immediately, otherwise he would let the opponent's light and heavy machine gun sweep like this, and his subordinates would be killed completely before they could counterattack.

He decisively pulled out his command knife and waved it while ordering: "Light and heavy machine guns will fight back immediately, suppress the enemy's grenade launcher, mortar, shoot immediately, and knock off the enemy's heavy machine gun firepower point first."

"Others scattered and hidden, waiting for the enemy's light and heavy machine gun firepower points to be knocked out before counterattacking..."

This is the usual style of play that the Japanese use on the battlefield.

Each commander was confident in his artillery and grenade launcher troops.

As long as the grenade launcher and mortar join the battle, no matter how many light and heavy machine guns are equipped to ambush their enemies, they will not be enough to blow them up.

This is indeed the case. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, many Chinese troops, including the Eighth Route Army, suffered a lot of losses from the Japanese grenade launchers.

Because I don’t know how powerful the grenade cannon is, nor do I know that the Japanese actually knocked the grenade cannon so accurately. On the battlefield, many light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Chinese army were destroyed by this weapon as soon as they appeared.

Without the cover of light and heavy machine guns, the rifleman's shooting skills are not as good as the Japanese. If both sides continue to fight, the Chinese army will definitely defeat the Japanese army.

Zhou Cheng came from later generations and knew very well that the power and huge lethality of the grenade launcher were, of course he would not make the same mistake.

In the previous battles of the National Salvation Army, in addition to the Japanese commanders, light and heavy machine gunners, artillery was the first target of attack of the troops, and grenade launchers were also included.

Although the grenade launcher is very powerful, it also has a fatal disadvantage.

Because there is no special aiming equipment, very skilled grenade troop soldiers must rely on experience to accurately hit the target. As long as the grenade troop soldiers are killed, ordinary riflesmen cannot hit the target even if they get the grenade troop. It is not as useful as the rifles they equipped themselves.

At the beginning of the ambush, the three main companies equipped six heavy machine guns, more than twenty light machine guns, and three or four hundred rifles, all concentrated their firepower to shoot artillery soldiers, grenade launchers, machine gunners, officers, and the Japanese Chief Cao with a plaster flag on the rifle...

Especially the artillery detachment and heavy machine gun squad that were walking in the middle of the team were directly attacked by four heavy machine guns and seven or eight light machine guns.

Heavy machine gunners and gunners are technical troops. They have only experienced training for new recruits and are protected by infantry when they go to the battlefield. They rarely exchange fire with the enemy face to face, so their response speed in the battle is half a beat slower than that of ordinary rifles.

The bullet was shot by a heavy machine gun like a rain splash. Although half a beat was short, it was enough to take away many Japanese lives.

When the squadron leader issued a counterattack order, the machine gunners, gunners, and grenade launchers who were attacked were directly injured and more than two-thirds of the casualties were crushed to the ground.

More importantly, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars left on the mountain road were too conspicuous and were all seen by the light machine gunners involved in the ambush, and people were specially arranged to stare at them, so that the Japanese were not allowed to approach them.

Military orders should not be violated. Although it is difficult to get close to light and heavy machine guns now, the machine gunner who received the counterattack order still rushed forward with a tough bullet.

Before the person could touch the machine gun, the bullet flew towards the machine gunner.

Although the Japanese were lying on the ground, because the ambush troops were ambushing on the high ground on both sides of the ravine, all the light and heavy machine guns were shooting at the Japanese, and the flying bullets still drilled two blood holes in the back of the machine gunner.

The moment the blood splashed, the machine gunner suddenly collapsed on the ground and no movement.

This was just a battle scene in the entire ambush. The intensity in other places was not as high as that in particular, next to the mortar targeted by heavy machine guns, the surviving Japanese gunner was about to lean over, and the heavy machine gun bullets as thick as a thumb hit came directly as rain.

If you are hit on the back, you will directly hit a blood hole the size of a fist.

If it hits the limbs, it will be miserable. The powerful kinetic energy of the bullet can directly break the limbs, revealing the white bones and bright red flesh inside, which is bloody and terrible...

After giving the order, the squadron leader began to wait for his own light and heavy machine guns and mortars and grenade launchers to counterattack.

But after waiting for almost two minutes, except for the three light machine guns that made intermittent strafing sounds, the two heavy machine guns did not move, and the mortars did not respond. Only two grenade launchers fired a few grenades on the top of the beam next to them, but soon became quiet again and stopped firing grenades.

The squadron leader frowned deeper and he couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this moment, a second lieutenant crawled over and reported with a look of despair: "Sir, our machine gunners and gunners were killed!"

"Nani, we have nearly a hundred gunners and machine gunners, how could all be killed in battle?" the squadron leader shouted in disbelief.

The despair on the second lieutenant's face increased instead of reducing, and he immediately replied: "Everyone is dead!"

"The enemy attacking us specializes in machine gunners and gunners shooting, and kills two-thirds of our machine gunners and gunners in the first round of volleys alone."

"After you issued a counterattack order just now, the remaining machine gunners and gunners immediately started to counterattack, but as soon as they approached the mountain road, they were hit hard by the enemy, and suffered heavy casualties again... There is no one left until now."

"The few grenade launchers who had just fired were also targeted by the enemy's heavy machine guns in a very short time. They were killed after firing three-wheeled grenades, and there were only a few riflemen left on the battlefield!"

"Many officers were also killed. Some troops lost command and suffered too much casualties. The surviving riflemen are fighting each other."

"But the enemies who ambush ours are equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns, they will definitely not last long!"

The squadron leader's heart immediately became cold. At this moment, the army's company's self-protection was a problem, let alone launching a counterattack on the ambush troops.

I immediately changed my thinking and decided to take the surviving troops out first.

He raised his eyebrows and ordered anxiously: "Everyone moved closer to me, concentrated his firepower and broke into a gap in the north of the pocket array, breaking through and leaving here... hurry..."

The squadron leader's decision was a little late.

"Drip...Drip..." The loud charge suddenly echoed in the valley.

A large number of figures suddenly appeared on the ridges on both sides of the ravine, holding rifles, as if wild horses were riding their reins, shouting and rushing down towards the ravine, at a very fast speed.

The squadron leader also showed a look of despair on his face.

The enemy has already begun to attack. If the surviving officers and soldiers do not rise up and continue to move closer to themselves, exposing their backs to the guns of the attacking troops, they will definitely die faster and be killed like a slaughter by their opponents.

Only by facing up and using the bayonet that the Imperial Army is good at fighting against the opponent head-on, maybe they can even find a way out.

Even if they didn't rush out in the end, everyone could kill a few opponents and pull a few backs in the process of bayonets.

Thinking of this, the squadron leader had to change his order again: "The whole army was bayonet and fought with the enemies who ambushed us to the end... Kill and give it to..."

After giving the order, I felt like I was injected with chicken blood, and raised my command knife to rush back towards the attacking troops.

The dozen Japanese soldiers surrounded him were unwilling to fall behind, so they followed with their bayonet rifles. They ran faster and faster. Several riflesmen directly crossed the squadron leader and protected the commander behind him.

There are less than a hundred Japanese devils on the battlefield.

If both sides really set off their stance to fight for bayonets, the three companies of the National Salvation Army will definitely not only kill them if they have lost two or three hundred people.

But the current National Salvation Army is no longer the same as before. Each infantry company's three platoon commanders, company commanders, and deputy company commanders are all equipped with all twenty-shot box cannons.

The turtle box that is not very popular is not wasted, but is equipped with the deputy platoon leaders of each platoon, or even the squad leader.

Now each company has at least six twenty-shot box cannons and six or seven turtle boxes.

When the troops attacked, they rushed in the front. When the two sides were nearly 100 meters apart, the rifleman first shot the only bullet left in the gun chamber at the other side while running. The Japanese were no exception. In this game, both sides suffered casualties.

But because the Japanese have few people and guns, there are many soldiers who save the country and have many guns. Even if the same number of soldiers were killed or injured on both sides, the Japanese will be hit much more, and the casualties ratio is at least three times that of the National Saving Army...

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to forty or fifty meters, and the bayonet battle was about to break out.

At this time, the attacking troops could already see the hideous face of the Japanese.

As the strongest bayonet force on the Chinese battlefield, dozens of Japanese soldiers have formed bayonet formations while running, with three people in groups, and three groups formed a large bayonet formation. The bright tips of the knife all moved forward, and they were stunning forward at any time. They wanted to give the national rescue army a blow as soon as they contacted each other.
