Chapter 68 The dream is broken again
Major Fujita didn't know this, so he pulled out his command knife with confidence and pointed forward and ordered: "The troops began to attack..."
More than fifty riflemen were in front, and more than thirty grenade launchers followed closely, lined up with scattered lines and rushed towards the mountainside.
Major Fujita immediately raised his telescope and stared at the guerrilla positions halfway up the mountain.
In this attack, more than fifty riflesmen were just one bait he released, and their real killer weapons were artillery and grenade trolleys.
Whether the killer weapon can play a role and severely damage the guerrillas is the key to whether the guerrillas on the mountainside can be attracted by the bait.
The result once again disappointed him.
If there are people on the mountainside position, the offensive troops will definitely take action when they rush to the front of the formation fifty meters. The best counterattack method is to use grenades, which do not have to expose their heads from the trenches, but can also attack the offensive troops, killing two birds with one stone.
Now the attacking troops have rushed to the front of the mountainside position for thirty meters. If they rush forward a few meters, they can throw the grenades into the guerrillas' mountainside position. If the guerrillas wait until this time to counterattack, the best result will be both sides of the loss.
If you are too lucky, you may be wiped out by the attacking troops on the mountainside.
The guerrillas have limited troops. With their combat style, they will definitely not fight such a blocking battle that kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred by themselves.
Whether it is Major Fujita or Captain Fukuda, they all believe that the guerrillas on the mountainside position have run away again.
Just when they thought the attack was about to return in vain, the sound of machine gun strafing "da da da..." suddenly sounded halfway up the mountain. The two people raised their heads at the same time, and a flash of expectation flashed between their eyebrows.
The team leader Fujita's reaction was the most intense, and he almost jumped up from the ground with excitement.
After so much careful preparation, if the guerrillas failed to get into the trap and gave themselves face, Major Fujita had already felt a hidden worry. He was released by the Eighth Route Army twice in a row, his prestige in front of his subordinates would definitely be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the guerrillas did not release their pigeons this time.
Lift up the telescope again and find the two light machine guns that were shooting.
They are located on both wings of the mountainside position, and bullets are fired out like money, shooting offensive troops from the flanks. This not only can the Japanese rushing in the front, but also the grenade launchers behind them. They can shoot wherever there are more soldiers gathered, and exert the firepower advantage of the machine gun to the extreme.
In the blink of an eye, nearly ten soldiers had fallen down the attacking troops.
Major Fujita quickly ordered: "The mortar is divided into two, kill me the guerrilla machine gun fire point."
"The offensive troops encircled the two assault teams and wiped out all the Eighth Route Army there!"
“Everything…”
The first round of shells was fired in just half a minute.
Less than two seconds later, the sound of "rumbling..." of cannons reached Major Fujita's ears.
Black smoke flew into the air less than ten meters away from the machine gun fire point.
The two light machine guns called Zhenghuan were completely unaffected and continued to shoot at the offensive troops. Several more riflemen were hit and fell on the offensive road and lost movement.
"Baga... the artillery was hit by a crooked attack..." Major Fujita started to curse in a hurry.
After finally staring at the guerrillas, he said that they could not let them escape any longer. Fujita wanted to run to the artillery position to fire, and before the other party retreated, they all fryed them all into minced meat.
"Everything...boombo..."
Ten seconds later, the adjusted mortar shot out the second round of shells. This time the bullet point hit the target, and the machine gun firepower was also interrupted by the explosion.
"If you hit it, the infantry will immediately encircle and kill all the machine gunners!" Major Fujita punched the stone next to him with excitement. Although his teeth were trembling with pain, he did not scream, but was full of expectation and orders.
At this time, he seemed to have seen the scene of machine gun fire points spreading all over the guerrilla corpses.
But at this moment, the machine gun fired again with the sound of "da da da..."
The excited expression on Major Fujita's face quickly solidified and was covered again with solemnity. There was a little confusion between his eyebrows. He couldn't figure out how the machine gun could still shoot after being hit by a mortar.
Just as he was about to curse, Captain Fukuda stood up: "Sir, it's a castle!"
"The two machine guns must be hidden in the castle. The guerrillas have no cement. The castle is piled up with stones and logs. As long as the mortar continues to shoot, it will definitely destroy the castle and kill the guerrillas inside!"
Major Fujita quickly took back the words of cursing and ordered the staff on standby: "Why are you still standing there? Let the artillery continue firing, and when will the light machine gun on the mountainside stop?
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosion once again spread from the mountainside to Major Fujita's ear, and the shells still hit the target. The black smoke rising from the air quickly spread around, covering the machine gun castle tightly.
The gunfire was not stopped, and the artillery squad continued to fire.
After the fourth round of shells was fired, the familiar sound of machine gun strafing finally stopped. The worried artillery continued to shoot at the target, and then shot four rounds of shells, and stopped after confirming that the machine gun could not be fired again.
The offensive troops used the protection of gunpowder smoke, and surrounded the hungry wolf like food, and rushed into the gunpowder in just half a minute.
Major Fujita felt completely relieved when he saw this. He put down his telescope and waited for the offensive troops to come and report the results of the battle to him.
The Eighth Route Army has poor equipment, and only the main force is qualified to be equipped.
Although the guerrillas seized several of them from the Imperial Army, the number was very limited. They must be provided like treasures, and it is impossible for the machine gunners to come out to perform the mission alone.
In the eyes of Major Fujita, there were just two light machine guns here. The machine gunners and infantrymen who protected them had at least twenty people.
After the troops entered the mountain, they had lost half an infantry squad. If dozens of guerrillas were not eliminated and the troops could see the results of the battle, everyone's morale and morale would definitely be affected.
"Sir, we have occupied the mountainside positions, and all the machine gun castles have been destroyed!" A second lieutenant came over to report.
This was good news, but the second lieutenant did not have any smile on his face, but showed a look of wanting to speak but stopping.
Captain Fukuda is the officer who knows the guerrillas best among all the Japanese army. He knows how powerful they are. Various tactics and tactics make people unable to defend themselves. Seeing the second lieutenant's expression, a trace of bad premonition flashed out of his mind.
Sure enough, the lieutenant hesitated for two seconds before continuing to report: "But we did not find a body of the Eighth Route Army on the position..."
"Nani?" Major Fujita's dream was shattered again, but this time the protagonist was his subordinates.
Anger suddenly surged into his heart, grabbed the collar of the lieutenant, like a roaring lion, and asked loudly: "Where is the human being? The two firepower points were obviously destroyed by the artillery. How could they not see people? Will they be buried in the castle?"
The lieutenant was frightened by the reaction of the captain, and his breathing was not smooth, and his face was quickly turned red.
Captain Fukuda quickly stood up: "Sir, calm down, he can't speak at all if you do this!"
"explain……"
Fujita let go of his hands and stared at the second lieutenant's orders in a deep voice, as if he could continue if he couldn't say it.
