Chapter 1041: The General Offensive Begins (First Update!) )
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Six anti-aircraft machine guns suddenly fired, and the powerful lethality instantly frightened the captain of the devil wing.
Wherever the bullet goes, death follows.
Especially for the soldiers who rushed to the front, when the bullet penetrated into the body from the chest, the wound was the size of a fist, and the flesh and blood were blurred. When it flew out of the back, the wound increased directly to the size of the mouth of the bowl.
The internal organs of the stomach had been shattered by bullets, and the red and white things were mixed together, and fountains gushed out of the wounds, which was terrible to see......
In just a few seconds, a squad of imperial troops was defeated.
The Wing Captain was dumbfounded, but quickly reacted, waved his command knife, and roared with rage.
"The artillery immediately counterattacked and destroyed these anti-aircraft machine guns, they were so powerful that they were simply the nemesis of the infantry."
"The attacking troops continue to assault the mountain ridge and take the Tiger Ridge."
As soon as the order came out, he felt a hint of fear "dong dong ......" and stopped. Immediately after, the roaring sound of artillery also sounded behind him, and the shells crossed the head and the battlefield, and accurately smashed into the empty position just now.
Seeing black smoke rising from the anti-aircraft machine gun position just now, the wing commander's tense nerves eased a lot, and he turned his attention to the battlefield again.
But the heavy expression on his face did not relax.
Although the anti-aircraft machine guns ceased fire, the lethality that had just been exposed was too great.
In less than half a minute, the attacking troops fell more than a hundred people.
The right hand of the wing captain holding the command knife was clenched tighter, and then he slowly trembled, staring at the battlefield and continued to roar: "Attack, I want to kill all the Eighth Route Army on Tiger Ridge and avenge the warriors who died in battle just now......
This time the attacking force was not attacked again, and rushed all the way to the position forty meters in front of the formation.
The captain knew that the most critical moment for this attack had arrived.
He had fought with the Eighth Route Army more than once or twice, and he knew very well the opponent's combat style.
Poorly equipped and lacking in ammunition, the Eighth Route Army often made up for these disadvantages by hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, when fighting against the Eighth Route Army, most of the battles ended in hand-to-hand combat.
The wing commander was not at all worried about the hand-to-hand combat that might break out today, and in order to win the battle, he prepared four infantry squadrons.
Although more than 100 people were killed in the rapid attack of the anti-aircraft machine guns, there were still more than three squadrons on the battlefield, and even if the Eighth Route Army dispatched a regiment to fight with the attacking troops with bayonets, it would not suffer a loss.
Moreover, there was a full infantry brigade behind him that did not move, and it could reinforce the battlefield at any time, becoming the most fatal blow to take out the Eighth Route Army.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Hundreds of grenades and grenades flew out of the ridge and exploded in the middle of the attacking troops, and the rising black smoke quickly enveloped more than a hundred soldiers.
The explosions were too dense, and there were a lot of grenades exploding in the air, and they must have been more than lucky.
The co-captain had a serious face and a calm expression.
Only by rushing through the rain of grenades to intercept the attacking troops, who had no terrain advantage, could they smash the grenades into the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and then engage the remaining Eighth Route Army with a short battle and end the battle with bayonets.
Of course, when breaking through the rain of grenades, the devil was not completely passively beaten.
The grenadier squatted on the ground and fired grenades at the fastest rate of fire into the ridge to relieve the pressure on the attacking troops.
Dozens of devils broke through the rain of grenades to intercept, all the way to the position of thirty meters in front of the position, and threw out the grenades they had been holding with all their strength.
The explosion soon sounded on the position, and more and more grenades were smashed into the trench by the devils, and in the violent explosion, one after another fighters were blown out of the trench.
"Kill...... It's all ...... kill devils with me," Huang Quan, the commander of the first battalion, shouted with a rifle in hand.
No longer continue to hide, get up from the trenches, and launch a counterattack at the devil with a rifle.
"Kill and give to ......" The little devil was not far behind, and shouted to meet him.
Many little devils saw the Eighth Route Army rushing out of the position to fight with them with bayonets, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
In their eyes, on the Chinese battlefield, they have not yet encountered a Chinese army that can defeat them with a bayonet.
Therefore, fight with a bayonet and win by yourself.
The Japanese army attacked the position, and the corners of the wing commander's mouth also rose slightly, revealing a long-lost smile.
There were still more than 500 imperial troops on the position, and the Eighth Route Army that rushed out was only more than 600 people, and there was not much advantage in troops.
As long as the Eighth Route Army does not have any troops to enter the battlefield again, this hand-to-hand combat will be won by itself, and this is the judgment made by the wing commander based on the combat effectiveness shown by himself in contact with the Eighth Route Army in the past few days.
He did not expect that the Eighth Route Army he had encountered in the past few days was a newly expanded unit in the base area, and although the level of equipment was about the same, there were too few veterans, and the combat effectiveness was obviously weak.
The Eighth Route Army encountered today was all a veteran unit in the base area, with strong combat effectiveness and a tough work style.
Coupled with the automatic pistols equipped with a large number of automatic pistols of the mobile battalion of the garrison regiment, in the chaotic battlefield, they were not only not pressed and beaten by the devils with the bayonet array they were good at, but they could also press the devils to fight......
Because hand-to-hand combat had just begun, and more than a thousand people were too chaotic to be mixed together, the wing captain had not yet noticed these subtle changes.
Of course, he didn't have a chance to see these changes either.
Two kilometers away, Commander Chen saw the enemy and our armies fighting together at Laohuling and began to give an order: "Chief of Staff, send a signal, the troops will start attacking......
"Woooooooooo......oo Bang bang bang ......"
Three signal flares exploded in the air, and they could be seen clearly within a radius of several kilometers.
The wing captain also saw it, and raised his head, a flash of doubt on his face.
Before he could speak, "Woo woo...... Concealment, protect the Wing Captain ......" A series of voices sounded in his ears.
The two nearest personal guards lunged directly at him, crushing him to the ground like arhats.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The explosion sounded at the same time, and a cannonball was very close to them, and the scorching air wave swept towards them like a wind, and the exposed face seemed to be roasted on the fire, and it was very uncomfortable.
Then there was the shock wave, which shook the Wing Captain's ears ringing.
It was as uncomfortable as tumbling in my stomach, and my head was dizzy, and I almost fainted.
"It's a heavy mortar, the Eighth Route Army has gathered at least twenty heavy mortars to attack us, it's too dangerous here, we must move immediately!" The artillery staff officer shouted with fear.
"Protect the Wing Captain to transfer ......," the captain of the guard shouted anxiously.
There were too many shells, and it rained down, and it was not easy to divert in such a heavy fire.
"There's a ravine ahead, protect the wing captain there first!" The captain of the guard pointed to a ravine dozens of meters away as if he had found a new continent and shouted.
Finally settled down, the troop assembly area was completely shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, and fireballs continued to rise in the smoke.
