Chapter 599: People are panicking

"Regiment commander, the first battalion has occupied the Japanese position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoBefore many Japanese troops came out of the anti-artillery holes, the entrance of the cave was blown up by us, and the Japanese troops were also buried alive in the anti-artillery holes. According to statistics, the casualties of the first battalion were less than a hundred. With the exception of grenades, the rest of the ammunition was largely unconsumed. The chief of staff rushed to the regiment commander Huang Zhongxin with an excited face and reported.

"It is worthy of the main battalion of our regiment, and as soon as it went up, it knocked out a wing of the Japanese army, and it really did not disappoint us." Huang Zhongxin said excitedly.

After finishing speaking, Huang Zhongxin immediately ordered: "Write it down, it's the turn of the second battalion, order the second battalion to bring enough ammunition to replace the first battalion and continue to attack." The mortars followed the second battalion and continued to attack, and our task today is only one, attack, keep attacking. ā€

In less than ten minutes, the fully staffed second battalion replaced the tired first battalion.

More than 600 people, barely resting, attacked as soon as they entered the battlefield.

The position defended by a wing did not hold for even an hour under the attack of the Liaodong Army.

Speaking of such a result, the first one not to believe it was the follow-up troops of the Japanese army.

Less than two miles from the front-line positions, a Japanese infantry brigade built a defensive line here.

When the news of the loss of the front-line position reached here, nearly 1,000 Japanese troops, each with a stunned expression of disbelief on their faces.

At the same time, many Japanese soldiers began to worry about the battle they were about to face.

The position defended by a reinforcement wing was wiped out without holding out for even an hour, and the strength of one of its own brigades would definitely not be able to hold this place.

This means that in the next battle, you may not be able to hold out for even half an hour and die here.

As a result, the newly raised second battalion of the Liaodong Army had not yet attacked the Japanese position and entered the field of vision of the defenders. The Japanese troops on the position, who numbered less than 1,000 men, became panicked, and everyone lost confidence in the next defense.

"The Liaodong Army is coming!" A cry full of terror suddenly sounded in the panicked position.

Nearly 1,000 Japanese troops, as if they had discussed it, stuck their heads out of their positions and looked ahead.

The Liaodong Army, which had scattered in hundreds of battle formations, carried rifles and slaughtered them in a mighty manner.

Although the Liaodong Army was still a few hundred meters away, they could only see vague shadows. However, they were already panicking, and they were already feeling the oppression before the battle began.

Many people subconsciously clenched the rifles in their hands, and a pair of eyes stared at the Liaodong Army a few hundred meters away, motionless.

At this moment, a series of screams suddenly sounded above their heads. A violent explosion followed the sound of the position. A few unlucky soldiers were directly overturned by the shells and consumed, or they were thrown directly out of the trenches.

You don't have to think about it to know that these three shells were fired by the Liaodong Army, and they were also test-fired shells.

Not surprisingly, after more than ten seconds, a dense cannonball like a raindrop would explode around him.

The officer, who still maintained some sanity, immediately shouted and ordered his subordinates to hide.

Those who have anti-artillery holes drill into the nearest anti-artillery holes, and those who do not have anti-artillery holes lie directly in the trenches, holding their heads, praying that the shells will not fall on their side.

Soon, the Japanese positions were filled with violent explosions and thick gunsmoke.

Everyone in the second battalion responsible for the attack knew that the special combat personnel who operated the mortars in the back were the real elite of the Liaodong Army, and if they operated the mortars, the shells that kept smashing the Japanese positions would not be accidentally injured.

In order to further compress the offensive distance, the Japanese army was not given the slightest chance to react.

The 2nd Battalion did not stop until 50 meters in front of the Japanese formation, lying on the ground, hanging the rifle on the shoulder, and continued to approach the Japanese position by crawling.

It was not until thirty meters in front of the battle that everyone could easily throw the grenade at the Japanese position that the second battalion stopped.

At this time, although most of the shells fired by the mortars smashed into the Japanese positions and exploded, there were still a few shells that flew out of the positions from time to time and exploded at a distance of more than ten meters or even a few meters from the second battalion.

Fortunately, the second battalion was lying on the ground at this time, and the mortars were killing the enemy with fragments. Except for a few people in the front, no one was killed.

And as soon as the movement of the second battalion was in place, the mortar gunners behind received the message.

After firing five more rapid shots at the Japanese position, he decisively stopped.

As soon as the whistling overhead stopped, the second battalion lying on the ground knew that it was their turn. As veterans, they know all too well the importance of time on the battlefield.

As soon as the cannon stopped, hundreds of people jumped up from the ground and rushed forward, throwing grenades that had been held in their hands and had been fused.

When the shelling was over, the panicked Japanese soldiers had just stood up from their trenches and saw that the Liaodong Army had rushed in front of them.

The Japanese troops, who were once again shocked by the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army, were just about to pick up their weapons and counterattack amid the shouts and scolding of the officers, when hundreds of grenades emitting white smoke had already fallen from the sky and smashed towards them.

The grenade exploded, and one by one the Japanese soldiers were either blown to the ground or blown out of the trenches.

And the Japanese army, who was lucky not to be hit by the grenade, subconsciously held his head and hid in the trench again in the face of the ubiquitous attack.

An infantry brigade of more than 1,000 Japanese troops lost two or three hundred people in artillery shelling, and two or three hundred people again in the grenade rain just now.

In the blink of an eye, there were still three or four hundred people left in the defense line that stretched for five or six hundred meters, and there were three or four hundred Japanese soldiers who were panicked and hid in the trenches and did not dare to raise their heads.

At this time, the second round of grenades thrown by the second battalion came again over their heads.

When the remaining Japanese soldiers were just reminded by the officers and were about to hide in the trenches to counterattack with grenades, the second round of grenades falling from the sky had already smashed around them and exploded, or exploded directly in the air.

Because the charging distance of the second battalion was only a short thirty meters, after the two rounds of grenades were thrown, the Japanese position was already close at hand.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was stunned by the bombing and had not yet reacted, several hundred people from the second battalion with rifles quickly rushed to the Japanese position.

Seeing the Japanese army that can still move inside, regardless of three, seven and twenty-one, it is a bullet when it goes up.

At this time, the remaining Japanese troops in the position also knew that they would not survive. In the face of the Liaodong Army that rushed in front of them, they also began to be ruthless.

Seeing the Liaodong Army rushing towards him, he actually carried a grenade and died with the second battalion.

As a series of explosions rang out in the position, at least one platoon of officers of the 2nd Battalion fell on the Japanese position.

However, the ruthlessness of the Japanese army did not save them. After the second round of grenades, they were left with less than a hundred.

In addition, the second battalion was killed with light machine guns and rifles, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers had a chance to die together with the Liaodong Army.

With them killed, there was not a single Japanese alive in the entire line. (To be continued.) )
