The gunfire soon rang out, and under the rapid-fire action of the soldiers, the bullets rained down on the Japanese troops in front of the position.

The Japanese were stunned at the moment, they had never seen such heavy fire, whether it was against the Soviets, Chinese or even the British...... Of course, the reason why they did not encounter such heavy fire in the face of the British was entirely because the British fled without a fight.

And war is a very interesting thing, it's not static, it changes with the environment.

Let's just say that the rifles in the hands of China and Japan at this time: the characteristics of the 38 big cover are stable and accurate, and the Japanese army is well-trained, so although its rate of fire is slow, its lethality should not be underestimated; Enfield's characteristics are undoubtedly fast rate of fire and fierce firepower, but the disadvantage is that it is inferior to the 38 Dagai in terms of accuracy and range, coupled with the insufficient training of the engineer regiment, so it cannot be compared with the Japanese army in terms of hit rate.

If both sides were hiding in the jungle or in the trenches and firing at each other, Enfield's speed of fire would not be of much use...... Even a single bullet can't kill a few targets. On the contrary, the advantages of high precision of the 38 large cover can play a huge role.

However, at this time, the Japanese army was completely exposed to the soldiers, and the Japanese army basically had no cover, not to mention, and was blown up by a burst of explosions just now...... This was when Enfield used its firepower to its advantage, and after a rain of bullets, the Japanese were crushed with heavy casualties.

The remnants of the Japanese army wanted to retreat to the two heights to organize defense, but this was clearly in vain.

Wang Mazi retired from the main combat force, of course he would have expected this, so he had already arranged four tanks and eight armored vehicles on both wings, and they would go straight into the retreat of the Japanese army at the moment the battle began...... With the roar of the tank guns, the light and heavy machine guns on it fired fiercely, and the Japanese retreat was blocked with firepower.

At the same time, the firepower of these tanks and armored vehicles also served the task of blocking Japanese reinforcements.

This was not difficult for them, because the Japanese reinforcements had to be reinforced from the Bin River crossing along the road, and this direction of reinforcement was still in the narrow valley between the two heights on the left and right...... Needless to say, tank guns and heavy machine guns were fighting indiscriminately in the narrow valley, and no number of reinforcements came up to death.

So in just a moment, the 800 Japanese troops who were lured out fell into the encirclement of the Chinese soldiers, and all they could do seemed to be to lie on the ground and bear the rain of bullets pouring down on them.

However, the Japanese army once again made a move that surprised Zhang Chi...... With bayonets raised, they howled and charged at the positions of the Chinese soldiers under the cover of the few machine guns they had.

In this case, not only do not defend but also launch a counter-charge?

This decision may seem irrational on the surface, but it is actually their only chance.

Because it was clear that the fire of the tanks and armored vehicles on both flanks blocked their retreat, and it became impossible to retreat or wait for reinforcements, then there was only one option, to rush to the enemy with relatively weak frontal fire...... Although this relatively weak firepower is also stronger than they have ever encountered, it is still better than facing the firepower of tanks and armored vehicles.

Of course, there is still a possibility that the Japanese will be hit by tank and armored fire again, but these heavy weapons are a bogey...... At this time, the defense line of the expeditionary force was in the shape of a half-moon, and the armored troops were located on both flanks, and the Japanese army charged towards the defense line in the center, and if the armored troops strafed the Japanese army, it was very likely that they would hit the expeditionary force itself.

More importantly, if the Japanese army can rush forward and strangle the expeditionary force, then the tanks and armored vehicles can be said to be completely useless, and then it is time for the Japanese army to give full play to its strengths.

Moreover, the charge did play a role.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who rushed up with bayonets howling, some of the recruits in the engineer regiment were immediately frightened.

This can't be blamed on them, they have no experience in fighting the Japanese army, as soon as they see the Japanese army charging, they think that the Japanese army must be sure to launch a charge, otherwise who would be so stupid and desperate to rush forward!

As soon as he thought of this, the recruits couldn't help but want to run away with their legs, and the calf was one of them, and he really escaped, but before he could run away, he was pulled back by the big cow and crushed to the ground.

Fortunately, the big cow moved quickly, otherwise, Zhang Chi would have to point his gun at the fleeing calf in the next second...... There is no way to do this, and if one person escapes, if left alone, it will soon affect the morale of other recruits and even the whole army.

The big cow looked at Zhang Chi, and when he saw the murderous aura in Zhang Chi's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, and then shook the little cow vigorously and scolded: "You don't want to die?!" Don't you know that if you run away, you will die? It's okay to follow me, do you hear?! ”

The Japanese charge turned out to be futile, and the Maverick's fear was unnecessary.

Although the Japanese army was brutal, they were trapped in the trap and were unprepared to suffer heavy blows and casualties one after another, coupled with the fast firing speed of Enfield in the hands of the engineer regiment and the preparation was very sufficient, the Japanese army finally failed to rush into the defense line of the engineer regiment as expected.

As the Japanese team fell one after the other, the front of the position was quickly filled with corpses, and the gunfire gradually weakened, because there were few targets left to shoot.

"Brethren! Come on! Wang Mazi shouted.

"Rush!" The fighters rushed to two heights not far away, rifles in hand.

This was planned early in the morning, and the engineer regiment had to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's two heights were empty and launched a counteroffensive in one fell swoop to take the two heights in front of them, otherwise, if the Japanese army sent reinforcements from the anticline to the high grounds, it would be difficult to take the two heights at that time.

As the so-called soldiers are fast, it now depends on whether the Japanese reinforcements arrive on the high ground first or the expeditionary force rushes to the high ground first, so the engineer regiment doesn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, and rushes up all the way to the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

Many of them struggled to resist, but the soldiers were merciless in firing a bullet at them or stabbing them in the chest. Occasionally, a few grenades would explode in the ranks of the soldiers, which were pulled by the wounded Japanese soldiers before they died, but that did not stop the charge of the engineer regiment at all, and the soldiers only knew how to rush forward, forward......
