When dividing the troops with the regiment commander, He Jun took away sixteen flying thunder cannons.

Divided into eight artillery squads, under the cover of mortars, they slowly approached the positions being built by the puppet army in recent days.

As soon as the time came, the artillery was fired continuously, and the battle was over, and it was to drop the flying thunder cannon and withdraw the position as quickly as possible, so as to reduce the casualties of the troops in the Japanese puppet army's artillery counterattack.

Several assault teams consisting of four infantry companies were lurking in other places, also very close to the positions of the Japanese puppet army.

As soon as the thunderbolt cannon fired, they rushed out of their hiding place and pounced on the battlefield like hungry wolves.

"Counterattack, artillery units will strike back immediately!" Seeing that another of his positions was attacked by flying thunder artillery, the leader of the devil squadron was anxious and shouted loudly.

He did not forget the planes hovering in the sky, and continued to order: "The planes will also attack together." ”

"Carry out indiscriminate strikes on the artillery positions that the Eighth Route Army has just exposed, there is only the Eighth Route Army there, there is no Imperial Army, they can attack as much as they want, don't worry about accidental injury, I want to blow up those flying thunder guns into scrap metal, and the Eighth Route Army there will be blown into minced meat."

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is attacking us at position No. 1." The adjutant suddenly shouted.

It was the first position to be attacked by flying thunder artillery.

Dozens of Eighth Route Army, dressed in camouflage nets, bent over, formed a line of skirmishers and quickly approached the position.

If you don't look closely, you think it's dozens of thatched bushes moving, very hidden.

On the position, after being attacked by two explosive packs, there were very few subordinates who could still move.

Only sporadic gunfire was heard, and not a single machine-gun fire was heard.

"Heavy machine gun fire, concentrated fire on the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army." The squadron leader reacted quickly and made a decision on the spot.

"Draw a detachment from the reserve to reinforce the battlefield, I don't believe they were all killed by the flying thunder cannons, there must be people alive, but it will take time to recover from the explosion just now, we must buy them this time."

"Boom ......"

As soon as the order was exported, the third flying thunder artillery squad fired.

The explosive packet tumbled into the position, making an explosion that shook the ground.

Billowing smoke rose into the air, and the flying fire, the permeated gunsmoke, the blown dirt, rubble, and storm quickly swept through the entire position.

The squadron leader's gaze was quickly attracted, and he opened his mouth and ordered: "The artillery will strike back immediately!" ”

"Sir, another Eighth Route Army has emerged and is attacking the second position." The adjutant reminded again.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, the Eighth Route Army wants to kill us in a surprise attack!" The squadron leader already had a bad feeling in his head, and then shouted with a touch of desperation.

Position 2 was worse than the first position to be attacked, with an explosive pack hitting the trench just right.

Their casualties must have been greater, and it is possible that the whole army will be annihilated.

But these positions must be held, and if one of the positions is breached, the Eighth Route Army can drive straight into the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions to destroy the heavy firepower on which they have high hopes, and then it will really be finished.

He immediately shouted: "Divide half of the heavy machine guns to provide fire cover for the No. 2 position, and draw two combat detachments from the reserve to reinforce the past and hold the position to the death." ”

When he said the last four words, the squadron leader's confidence was obviously not as strong as a few minutes ago.

His face became more and more pale, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he ordered with a painful face: "Send a telegram to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff immediately, our department is attacked by a reinforced battalion of the garrison regiment, and the other side is equipped with a large number of flying thunder cannons, and there are air defense preparations. ”

"The troops suffered heavy casualties and were in dire need of reinforcements."

After saying that, the squadron leader seemed to lose his strength in an instant, and sat on the ammunition box next to him.

The telegram was sent out, and the battle itself was lost.

For a military man, admitting his defeat is an absolute unprecedented shame.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The battle was also moving in the direction he judged.

As soon as the telegraph operator began to send a telegram, the sound of four consecutive thunderbolts reached his ears.

Before the explosives package exploded, two more offensive units of the Eighth Route Army appeared on the battlefield.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

As billowing smoke rose from the position, the sound of thunderous explosions came.

Before the ears could recover from the buzzing tinnitus, the characteristic sound of the Flying Thunder Cannon rang out again, this time the same four Flying Thunder Cannons firing together.

The devil gunners and pilots are going crazy.

There were too many flying thunder guns that suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and they really wanted to destroy all these artillery positions, but their strength was limited, and they had more than enough strength to do so.

The same goes for two heavy machine-gun squads.

They only had six heavy machine guns left, and now there are five offensive units of the Eighth Route Army, and the number is still increasing.

It was already very difficult to suppress an attacking force of the Eighth Route Army with a heavy machine gun, and if any more attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army came out, they would not be able to do anything.

In just a few minutes, the battle situation deteriorated to the point where the devil squadron leader couldn't clean up.

"Sir, we don't have any reserves left!" The adjutant reported in despair.

"Sir, the No. 1 position was broken through by the Eighth Route Army, and the reinforcements were wiped out in the encounter!" A Cao Chang next to him shouted.

"Sir, the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army and our reinforcements have been mixed together in the No. 2 position, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they are about to be unable to hold on!" One of the guards shouted.

Several people all looked at the squadron leader, hoping that he could think of a way to break the situation, turn the tide, and save everyone from danger.

Disappointingly, the squadron leader's face was not bloody, and it was full of despair.

With a long sigh, he replied: "Order the troops to fight separately and hold their positions to the death, and no one can take a step back without an order." ”

Then he drew his rifle, loaded his bullets, and continued to order to the guards beside him: "We are the last reserve of the whole army. ”

"Get your weapons and reinforce the No. 1 position with me, and drive back the Eighth Route Army that broke through there."

The Japanese puppet army stayed at the headquarters of the troops, and the chief of staff had a gloomy and terrible face.

A pair of eyes were red and red, as if they could breathe fire.

A few minutes earlier, he had received a telegram from another sortie calling for help.

After the defeat of Captain Ishida, the chief of staff's hope of severely damaging the garrison regiment was all in this unit.

But people are not as good as heaven, and this striking force was also defeated.

The two striking units, which account for two-thirds of the combat units under their hands, are now unable to return.

After the outrage, the chief of staff began to worry about his own safety, and even a little afraid.

The garrison regiment can divide its troops into two routes, withstand the bombing of the imperial planes, and kill its own two striking troops at the same time, then it will definitely be able to kill itself.

Although he is equipped with heavy artillery and mountain artillery.

But in close combat, these powerful guns are inferior to ordinary mortars.

As soon as the battle of the garrison attacking the two striking troops is over, it will definitely immediately withdraw its troops and kill itself.
