The Japanese army, which admired the spirit of bushido, naturally did not retreat because the tank was destroyed.

At this time, the Japanese army should have retreated, because it was completely different from what they had estimated before the war...... They thought that the enemy in the airfield had only light weapons, so the infantry could easily break through and defeat them under the cover of tanks, but the fact was that their tanks were easily destroyed by the enemy.

But the Japanese did not retreat, they rushed past the destroyed tanks and rushed towards Zhang Chi and others with bayonets.

They all had hungry wolf-like expressions on their faces, their mouths howling loudly, and the bayonets in front of their rifles gleamed as if they were eager to drink the blood of their enemies.

However, this move of the Japanese army was soon proven wrong.

The first were machine gunners and mortars, who served as cover for fire behind them...... When they set up machine guns and mortars and pointed in the direction of the enemy, they couldn't help but be stunned: the enemy's rear was the fighter planes, and the Japanese fighters, if they fired at the enemy, no one could guarantee whether the bullets would fly to those fighters, and the orders they received were to try to protect the safety of these fighters.

As a result, the machine guns fired only a few bursts at most, and the mortars, which would explode with shrapnel flying around, could barely stare dryly.

On the contrary, the Chinese army ...... However, it was equipped with a large number of Type 97 machine guns, and these machine guns burst out with powerful firepower at the moment when the Japanese army launched a charge, and more than ten machine guns in all directions were firing frantically at those charging Japanese soldiers, and the dense bullets were like an invisible fist, and in an instant, the Japanese soldiers who were still murderous just now fell to the ground.

In fact, at this time, the Japanese army had already discovered that something was wrong, and as soon as they heard the voice, they knew that the enemy's firepower level was by no means what they had thought before, only light weapons, but the Japanese army was like this, as long as the superiors did not change the order, then they knew that moving forward was a dead end, and there was only one way forward.

So, one Japanese after another rushed forward, and one after another fell.

Among them, the most painful fight is the Type 99 cannon...... When this thing is used with armor-piercing bullets, dozens of millimeters of steel plates can be pierced, not to mention these flesh and blood in front of them, the string of bullets used to only hit the Japanese army that was charging like a patchwork toy, and it was broken into several pieces in an instant and flew backwards, and because of its extremely strong penetrating power, so a dozen was a large piece, and the bullets even beat the wall behind the Japanese army like flour "boom" down.

"Your Excellency Nakasa!" This was quickly reported to Captain Watanabe, who was in command of the battle: "The enemy fire is so heavy that our tank squadrons have been completely wiped out, and the 1st and 2nd infantry squadrons have suffered heavy casualties and will not be withdrawn...... It's going to be wiped out! ”

"What?" Captain Watanabe couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he turned his gaze to Staff Officer Asano, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that the enemy only has light equipment?" What's going on now?! ”

Staff Officer Asano couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly realized: "The enemy must have found the equipment in the warehouse, which is the machine gun and cannon used by our fighters!" ”

"Machine guns and cannons?!" Watanabe Nakasa said bitterly, "How many? ”

"There are hundreds of them!"

"Where's the bullet?"

"I don't know!" Asano smiled bitterly and replied, "But...... These bullets are enough for hundreds of aircraft in the airport to fly and fight for half a month! ”

"Bastard!" Watanabe Nakasa couldn't help but scold, and the next second he ordered: "Withdraw the troops immediately!" ”

"Yes!"

Fortunately, Watanabe Nakasa withdrew quickly, otherwise, the two squadrons sent with more than 400 people, I am afraid that there will be no one left in just ten minutes.

But even so, there were only about 50 Japanese soldiers who could come back.

"Your Excellency Nakasa!" Suzuki Shaosa, who commanded this charge, ran in front of Watanabe Nakasa, and almost cried and reported: "Please allow me to continue the charge, even if there is not one left, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

Watanabe Nakasa can understand Suzuki's feelings, most of his subordinates are dead, but he survives, which makes Suzuki feel guilty, and even feels that he is living in humiliation.

Watanabe Nakasa didn't say anything, and replied calmly, "Please calm down, Suzuki-kun." There will be a chance to kill. Now, you need to tell me about the charge......"

"In addition to the enemy's heavy firepower, our fire units are also ineffective!" Suzuki replied, "They have their backs to the defense of the aircraft, and it is difficult for us to launch an attack without sacrificing the aircraft!" Please allow us to destroy these planes, only then will we ......"

"Bastard!" Watanabe Nakasa interrupted Suzuki and said, "Do you know what these planes mean to us? Without these planes, the whole of Rabaul would not have been able to hold it! ”

"But Your Excellency Nakasa ......"

"Smoke grenades, understand?" Watanabe Nakasa grabbed Suzuki's collar and shouted, "With smoke bombs!" ”

"Yes!"

Smoke grenades are indeed a good method, because although the machine gun has strong firepower, it can't shoot if you can't see the target, and at the same time, the machine gun can't be loaded with bayonets, and its weight of more than 20 catties is not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so once the Japanese army uses smoke to rush into the defense line, it will be a nightmare for the Chinese expeditionary force.

However, the soldiers of the new regiment are not new recruits, and they don't know how many times they have encountered the enemy fighting smoke in the Burma battlefield...... The Japanese were good at melee and hand-to-hand combat, so they always wanted to fight into the line of defense of the expeditionary force under the cover of smoke, and the more this trick was played, the more the soldiers found a way to deal with it.

For example, at this time, the devil used a mortar to hit a bunch of smoke bombs at the airport, and as the smoke spread, the airport was soon shrouded in a white smoke.

If this is a new recruit, they will definitely be at a loss and don't know how to deal with this situation, but the soldiers of the first battalion did not hurry to find any bottles and cans that could be found around them, such as water cups, empty water bottles, empty cans, etc., and then threw them in front of the position.

Needless to say, what is this...... The smoke was invisible, although the soldiers couldn't see it, and the Japanese soldiers who came forward couldn't see it, and it meant that they couldn't avoid the bottles and cans under their feet, so after a while, there was a "clanging" sound from the smoke.

Hearing this voice, the soldiers would be polite to the devils, and they would shoot wherever there was a sound, and from time to time they threw out a few grenades, only to hit the devils in the smoke screaming, and they could never get close to the defense line laid by the soldiers.
