Chapter 709 I can finally kill it (two chapters in one!)
Although the night was already deep in the Japanese Okamoto United Command, the corps leader was not sleepy at all.
Standing next to the map, looking at the watch while studying the map, it seems like I am waiting for something!
"Sir, the First Battalion is in urgent need of the telegram. They were attacked by the Eighth Route Army just now. The Eighth Route Army fired six grenades at their positions at close range, killing four imperial troops and two imperial assistant troops!" The messenger rushed to Okamoto to report.
The same report has appeared at the command center no less than thirty times in the past two days, and everyone is numb to listen to it.
Under normal circumstances, Colonel Okamoto should nodify his understanding, and then waved his hand to signal the messenger to leave.
This time it was very strange. Not only did Okamoto not waved his hand to let the messenger go down, but instead cursed: "Bageya Road, the only left-behind troops are too arrogant. This is simply bullying us and not daring to attack!"
"There is only a new battalion left along the railway. Do you still dare to be arrogant in front of our field infantry corps? Are they not afraid that they will be overwhelmed to death in the end?"
"Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. Chief of Staff, I decided to launch a counterattack in advance!"
The Chief of Staff was almost driven crazy by the Unique regiment these two days. Faced with their unscrupulous sneak attacks, night attacks, and shelling... Even if the other party only dispatched a platoon, he had to endure it and hide in the position as a turtle, and could not attack.
After finally waiting for the military headquarters to issue an attack order, he certainly had to seize the opportunity to vent all the anger he had held in his heart.
After saying that, the captain turned around and agreed: "Now the attack time specified by the military headquarters is only one hour left. The only registrar's return troops are at least 35 kilometers away from the railway line. It will take six hours to return to the aid immediately, which will not affect the overall situation!"
"With the First Battalion being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, we should let them fight back immediately. Maybe we can also follow the traces left by the sneak attack troops to find the hiding spot of the only left-behind troops and catch them all in one go!"
The chief of staff's support made the wing captain more confident and began to issue an order on the spot: "Then let's do that!"
"Send a telegram to the First Brigade: Let them attack immediately, and follow the clues to find the nests of the left-behind troops of the only regiment, gather and annihilate them!"
"The other three brigades are also ready to attack, ready to reinforce the 1st brigade or counterattack the unique brigade's sneak attack troops."
"I will take revenge tonight and kill all the troops left by the only regiment along the railway."
"If the only regiment dares to send troops to attack the railway line, we will be here to wait and hit them head-on!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Four special grenades for grenade launchers fell from the sky, like eyes growing, and accurately hit the position of the first brigade of Okamoto United. The orange-red fireballs that soared into the sky were particularly dazzling under the night sky, and could be seen clearly hundreds of meters away.
The three Japanese who gathered together were particularly unlucky, and one of the grenades hit them right.
The moment the fireball rose, the two Japanese were blown over as they fell to the ground and there was no movement. The nearest Japanese Japanese who was at the bullet point was actually blown into the sky...
"The artillery fights back immediately. Even if we can't kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked us, we will scare them!" The captain stood at the entrance of the command department, looking at the several fireballs rising from the air not far away, and he was like an angry lion, clenching his fists, gritting his teeth and cursing.
The messenger beside him was about to give orders, but the radio operator suddenly ran over with his expression very excited. He started reporting at the brigade leader five or six meters away: "Sir, good news! The brigade leader agreed to us to fight back!"
"The command center asked us to fight back immediately after being attacked again, killing the Eighth Route Army that attacked us, and also asked us to follow the clues to find the nests of the only left-behind troops, gather them and annihilate them."
"If the first brigade is not strong enough, you can ask the corps command for help at any time."
"That's great!" This was the best news that the captain had heard in the past two days. He was so excited that he even pulled out the command knife and pointed forward and shouted!
"I've been in a whole two days and finally waited for this moment!"
"What are you still doing here? Haven't you heard the order given to us by the corps leader?"
"The whole army gathers together immediately, the first squadron will fight out first, and find the Eighth Route Army that had just attacked us and stick to them."
"The second and third squadrons, heavy machine gun squadrons, mortar squadrons, and infantry artillery squadrons followed and pursued. The fourth squadron, baggage squadrons, and engineer squadrons remained in the position!"
After everything was arranged, the captain held the command knife and ran towards the army.
In a bush four hundred meters opposite the position, the company commander was commanding more than a dozen grenade launchers to quickly transfer, intending to continue to attack the Japanese and puppet troops on the new position and provoke them.
"Company Commander, emergency..." As he ran, a scream suddenly rang behind him.
The reconnaissance squad leader who monitored the Japanese and puppet troops' every move was very anxious to chase him, and ran and reported: "The Japanese and puppet troops on the position have sent troops!"
"A Japanese in an infantry squadron came toward this place with great momentum, very fast!"
"You read that right!" the company commander asked with a hint of suspicion.
He has been here for two days and two nights. No matter how everyone provoked or what weapons and equipment they used, the Japanese and puppet troops always hid in positions as turtles, and the same was true during the day.
It's night now, and the risk of taking the initiative is greater. The Japanese and puppet troops who dare not attack during the day will definitely not dare to attack at night. Normal people should think so.
The squad leader of the investigation answered in line with the company commander's gaze: "I can see clearly: almost 180 Japanese soldiers followed a Japanese captain and screamed and came to kill here!"
"That's great!" The company commander cried with joy and shouted with excitement: "We have fought for so long, and finally forced out the Japanese and puppet troops on the position!"
"Communication officer, you go to the political commissar to report immediately. A Japanese in the infantry squadron was forced out by us. We will take them to the preset ambush position. If there are still Japanese and puppet troops attacking, we will send someone to report later!"
"Yes, company commander!" After hearing this, the correspondent ran towards the direction of the front enemy command.
Looking at the correspondent's back quickly disappearing, the company commander continued to order: "The troops stopped retreating, and let the first and second platoons come here to meet us immediately. I want to fight the Japanese attacking troops here first and force them to send more troops to surround us."
"The third platoon retreated three kilometers towards the ambush position, looking for favorable terrain to establish temporary blocking positions. After fighting here, I will continue to fight with the Japanese there, so as not to chase the wrong target!"
When the company commander and his subordinates established a defense line on site, more than a hundred Japanese were rushing forward frantically.
The squadron leader held his commanding knife on his waist and shouted as he ran: "Everyone run faster and chase after us at the current speed. The Eighth Route Army has long run away!"
The nearby team leader understood the gods: "Start up, the Eighth Route Army is right in front!"
"We were pressed and beaten by them for two days. We finally could fight back and take revenge, and we must not let them run away."
Another team leader immediately responded: "Tonight, we must catch up with the Eighth Route Army that attacked us. If you have any grudges, you will take revenge, and if you have any revenge, you will kill them at all costs!"
"Da da da da...b...b...b..."
The familiar gunshot suddenly rang out in the front of the team, and at least two light machine guns and more than twenty rifles fired at them again, but the shooting effect was very poor.
The more than thirty bullets that flew out instantly killed only four Japanese devils, one of them lying on the ground screaming, not dead.
The Japanese were very vigilant, and now it was night, so they were more vigilant than usual.
It takes much less time to see a machine gun fire tongue than to hear a gunshot.
Seeing two flames suddenly popping up in front of the team, many experienced soldiers at the front of the team subconsciously fell to the ground, and reminded the other soldiers to lie down.
When the gunfire reached their ears, the bullet flew towards them, and most of the soldiers in the entire infantry squadron were lying on the ground, so the first round of firepower attacks of the only regiment was far from reaching the expected results.
"The enemy attacks, the Eighth Route Army is right in front, machine gun covers and grenade launchers shoots, and suppresses the enemy's firepower!" The squadron leader squatted on the ground, pulled out his command knife and waved his order forward!
"One or two teams are circling around the left and right. This is the first Eighth Route Army we encountered after the counterattack. We must capture them all in one go!"
The company commander's expression was very serious. He only killed a few Japanese in the first round of shooting, and then the Japanese army began to fight back, and his subordinates also began to suffer casualties...
The battle did not develop in the direction he expected, and there was even a tendency to develop in the opposite direction.
Facing the Japanese who were approaching in front of him, he felt the attacking firepower that was getting stronger and stronger. More and more subordinates were killed and injured, and the pressure on the company commander's shoulder became increasingly greater.
The serious expression on his face was slowly replaced by solemnity, and he realized that this battle tonight was not as easy as he thought.
"Company Commander, some Japanese detours are circling around our left and right wings. They want to gather us here!" A platoon leader behind his commander suddenly ran over to report, further aggravating the pressure on the company commander.
The company commander knew that he could not fight any more, so he immediately made a decision: "The military advantage and firepower advantage are both on the Japanese side. We will only suffer if we continue to bear the loss!"
"Machine gun cover, the troops retreat immediately. Let's go to the third platoon to continue working with the Japanese!"
The Japanese army's roundabout encirclement just now. As soon as the company commander retreated, they had no choice but to follow behind and pursue.
After joining the third row, the company commander was obviously more confident.
This not only gave him an additional platoon of troops, but also an additional temporary blocking position. He decided to achieve the combat goal that he had not achieved in a hurry to fight.
The order was immediately: "The machine gunners occupied the commanding heights, and the grenade launchers were ready to shoot."
"After the Japanese grenade launcher was exposed, they took the initiative to concentrate their firepower to attack their grenade launcher, and then attacked the machine guns they brought."
"The rifleman prepares the grenades, the machine gunners are ready to shoot, and wait for the Japanese vanguard troops to rush to us thirty meters in front of us to launch an attack together. The rifleman throws the grenades, and the machine gunners shoot at the Japanese outside the range of grenades to kill."
"We only killed four Japanese devils in the firepower raid just now. It's so embarrassing. This time, we have to kill more than twenty Japanese devils in everything we say!"
"Hurry! Run quickly, the Eighth Route Army is in front!" As soon as the soldiers of the single regiment were ambushed, the screams of the Japanese officers reached everyone's ears, and at least forty Japanese men held torches and entered everyone's vision.
"Be prepared for combat. Without my orders, no one can attack in advance. Stay calm down!" The company commander quickly called the box cannon for insurance, aiming and ordering!
The Japanese were indeed driven crazy by the only group these two days. They finally could break out of their positions to counterattack the Eighth Route Army. They were like they were locked in a cage for too long. The little tigers suddenly released ran forward screaming and chasing, and the pursuit was very fast, for fear that the Eighth Route Army who had just attacked him would run away.
In the blink of an eye, the two Japanese in front had already rushed to the front of the position thirty meters.
Under the reflection of the torch, the hideous faces of the two Japanese could see clearly.
On the battlefield, except for hand-to-hand combat, Japanese soldiers are rarely placed so close.
But the company commander did not issue an offensive order.
Because of nervousness, the palm of the right hand holding the box cannon had already started to sweat, but the Japanese pursuers were too scattered, with less than twenty of the forty Japanese vanguards rushing into the grenade killing range, and the results of the attack must not meet expectations now.
The two Japanese in front had already rushed to twenty meters away. When they almost heard their breathing, the box cannon in their hand finally fired.
The box cannon that is adjusted to a continuous shooting state exerts its power to the extreme.
In less than three seconds, all twenty bullets were fired out and flew into a fan shape toward the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand.
Compared with the raid just now, the shooting distance of this raid was more than half shorter. The moment the flames appeared, gunfire sounds reached the Japanese ears, and bullets flew in front of them, without a single time interval.
Before the two rows of four Japanese in front had recovered, the dense rain of bullets had already hit several blood holes in their chests.
"Enemy attack... lie down..." The captain of the vanguard team lies down and orders, avoiding the machine gun bullets flying towards him.
Before I could have time to be glad, at least forty grenades fell from the sky.
At first, the team leader did not notice it. It was not until a grenade hit his back and turned his head to see the grenade that was emitting white smoke, that he realized that he was too close to the Eighth Route Army position.
Just as I was about to roll on the side, I avoided the grenade that hit me, and the grenade exploded.
Only a violent explosion sounded in the back, and then the whole person was lost and he didn't even feel the pain.
"Boom boom boom..."
A dense grenade explosion sounded instantly from the thirty to fifty meters in front of the position, and at least twenty were shrouded.
The Japanese behind quickly hugged their heads and lay on the ground, but because the shooting distance was too close, the light machine gun bullets that flew towards them over the smoke and killed five or six people. Less than ten riflemen had no counterattack ability and were suppressed to the ground.
The main force of the squadron came to hear the sound. Although the forward team had almost lost all the losses, the squadron leader did not feel sad, but was particularly excited.
From the firepower, it can be concluded that the opponent must be the main force. As long as the only main force can be held back, the entire squadron will be able to get the money!
Chapter completed!
