Chapter 410: Death Battle!!
"Well, it seems that the little devil is really jumping off the wall in a hurry. Three squadrons of infantry, taking turns to attack our forward positions, this trick of the little devils is really poisonous. Battalion commander, the army has changed its tactics, and I think we must also change our defensive plan, and we can't put the whole battalion on the position at once. The purpose of the army is very simple, that is, to use the method of attacking in turns, to consume a large amount of our vital strength and exhaust us. In this case, it would be too risky, and we would not be able to hold out for long under the repeated attacks of the Japanese army. The instructor nodded approvingly. At the same time, he suggested to the battalion commander beside him.
"Well, order a company and a platoon of heavy machine guns to hold their positions and block the attack of the first Potts of the Japanese army. The remaining troops, immediately retreated into the anti-artillery holes, as reserves. No entry into the position was allowed without my orders. The battalion commander nodded and ordered to the communicator beside him. Soon, the forward positions, which were still densely packed just now, suddenly lost almost two-thirds of their troops. The remaining company, more than 150 people, was quietly squatting in the trenches, waiting for the battalion commander's next order.
Finally, a few minutes passed, and a squadron of the 1st Potts offensive had advanced to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the forward position. In order to prevent accidental damage to the machine guns, the heavy machine gun squadron behind the Little Devil Infantry, which was serving as cover, also stopped firing immediately. An infantry squadron of 200 little devils, lined up in a loose skirmish line to attack formation, bent as far as possible, and quickly rushed up to the mountain beam where his battalion was defending.
"Comrades, get ready to open fire, quick, heavy machine guns, immediately enter the position...."There were no bullets flying overhead, and the commander of the first battalion hurriedly ordered the fighters to enter the position...."Fire..."Another order was given, and the soldiers who had just entered the position, lying in the trenches, immediately pulled the trigger of the weapon in their hands against the little devil who was getting closer and closer down the mountain.
Suddenly, the forward position, which had just been silent, once again rang out with dense gunfire. However, perhaps the little devil learned the lesson of the last battle, and this time the reaction was particularly fast. The first round of intensive bullet rain among the fighters only killed and injured less than half of the small devils of the squad. The rest of the soldiers were all lying on the ground at the first time and began to use the rifles in their hands to accurately return fire. In particular, the machine gunners and grenadier operators who were arranged on the third line of skirmishers, under the cover of the soldiers in front of them, quickly set up the light machine gun grenadiers in their hands... The dense tongue of fire suddenly hit a dozen fighters who were caught off guard and had no time to hide in a pool of blood. More importantly, the intensive counterattack firepower of the Japanese army completely suppressed the several light machine guns that were firing at the position in an instant.
Under the suppression of the accurate and dense fire of the army, several light machine guns on the position. After changing the machine gunners for a whole round, he could only fire while shifting his position...."Damn, the heavy machine gun platoon, fire at me immediately, knock out all the machine guns of the little devils..."Looking at the arrogant machine gunners at the foot of the mountain, looking at the soldiers who were so pressed that they couldn't lift their heads on their positions, the battalion commander who was forced to helpless could only use the three heavy machine guns that had not yet fired in advance..."Da da da..."The three heavy machine guns, which had long been about to be held back, had just fallen at the battalion commander's order, Immediately, a light machine gun formation slipped towards the Yue army, and with the fire of three heavy machine guns, three dense tongues of fire began to rage on the machine gun position of the Yue army. The light machine gunners of the Yue Army, who were still extremely arrogant just now, immediately fell in a pool of blood one after another, and the firepower of the Yue Army's counterattack was immediately weakened a lot.
However, to the surprise of the first battalion commander, the grenadiers of the army, who were hidden in the third line of skirmishers, had not fired a single grenade until now. Because, the ultimate goal of these grenadiers is not the light machine guns on the position, but the heavy machine gun position that has not yet appeared.
Finally, in the anticipation of these little devils, three heavy machine-gun positions opened fire. Although, the flying bullets caused a lot of casualties to the machine gunner in front of him. However, these grenadiers were not affected in any way, but instead indulged in the grenadiers in their hands and began to aim accurately. Make sure that you shoot the first round of grenades, and you can directly kill three heavy machine guns.
"All of them...."A slight grenadier shot sounded, and the little devil's grenadier finally couldn't help but fire. Six grenades, with a sharp whistling sound, quickly crossed the little devil infantry lying on the ground in front of them, and smashed into the forward position of the Eighth Route Army almost 100 meters away.
A dense grenade explosion reached the ears of the commander of the first battalion, who was commanding a company in battle, through the dense sound of gunfire. By the time the first battalion commander reacted from the shock, he had just been shooting three heavy machine gun positions for the little devils. At this moment, it was already shrouded in the smoke from the grenade explosion, and there was not a trace of movement.
"Suffer, it's the little devil's grenadier, we've been fooled....comrades, hit me hard, you must block the little devil's charge..." As he spoke, the battalion commander held the shell gun in his hand and rushed to the nearest heavy machine gun position while firing.
When the machine-gun position was clearly visible to his eyes, the commander of the first battalion was stunned. Because, under the attack of the grenadiers of the army, several machine gunners next to the heavy machine gun had all fallen on the side of the machine gun covered in blood. However, in the face of the little devils who began to continue to advance slowly, the first battalion did not care about any sadness, and immediately lay down on the heavy machine gun position and began to check whether the heavy machine gun in front of it was in good condition.
"Fortunately, God willing, the machine gun is intact..."After quickly checking the heavy machine gun in front of him, the first battalion commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, after eliminating the heavy machine guns that posed the greatest threat to them, the grenadiers of the army had turned their muzzles at the fighters and light machine gunners on the position. Almost every grenade exploded and killed several fighters.
Under the suppression of the grenadiers and machine-gun fire, the casualties of the first company in the trenches continued to increase, and the density of the fire fired was also reduced by several percent. In the face of such a good opportunity to attack, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron of the Yue Army, who commanded the attack of the First Potts, of course, could not let go of such a good opportunity to attack. With the issuance of an order, the little devil who was still lying on the ground and shooting at the fighters immediately got up from the ground, bent over, and slowly began to move forward....
"Little devil, I'll make you crazy...."Seeing that he was in danger of the forward position, the first battalion commander couldn't care about his identity as the battalion commander, grabbed the heavy machine gun in front of him, and aimed at the grenadier of the army, who posed the greatest threat to his position, and poured all the bullets on the entire chain of bullets left on the machine gun on the body of the grenadier of the army..." Ah, Baga, hide quickly...."As a crisp burst of heavy machine-gun fire sounded on the position, a devil grenadier who had discovered the situation immediately reminded his comrades who were kneeling on the ground and firing grenades. However, it was too late at this moment, and nearly a hundred rounds of bullets had already formed a fan, and they quickly shot at the ten grenadiers. A scream sounded, and the grenadier position of the army, which was still very arrogant just now, was immediately beaten into a mess, and more than a dozen little devils who were beaten into a hornet's nest fell crookedly in a pool of blood...
"Ammunition man, hurry, ammunition man...."Looking at the grenadier of the army, who had almost lost his combat effectiveness, the commander of the first battalion quickly turned the muzzle of his gun and aimed his shooting at the little devil who was bending over and quickly rushing towards his forward position. After listening to the battalion commander's shout, the communicator, who followed closely behind the battalion commander, hurriedly brought a box of bullets, took out the bullet chain, and quickly inserted it into the magazine of the heavy machine gun.
"Click...click...", a crisp sound of a bullet being loaded. The heavy machine gun in the hand of the battalion commander began to spit out a dazzling tongue of fire at the little devil who was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, the little devil's attack was immediately blocked by the only heavy machine gun left on the position.
"Communicator, immediately convey the order to the commander of the second company, order the second company to enter the position immediately, and go quickly..." The commander of the first battalion couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After handing over the heavy machine gun in his hand to a heavy machine gun shooter next to him, he shouted an order to the communicator next to him.
"Yes, battalion commander...", the communicator lowered his head and quickly touched the position of the artillery hole behind the position. In less than half a minute, more than a hundred fighters of a company, under the leadership of the commander of the second company, rushed into the position and replenished the fire density of the position... With the addition of the second company, the density of firepower on the forward position suddenly increased a lot, and the machine gunners of the Yue Army, who had just been very arrogant, immediately died down after killing a few machine gunners and no longer carried out cover fire with great fanfare. The two sides have temporarily entered the stage of confrontation.
However, such a confrontation is only temporary. Because, the squadron leader of the third squadron of the Yue Army, who was closely behind the second squadron, saw that the attack of the troops had been frustrated, and immediately discovered the reason for the lack of firepower of the second squadron. After thinking of the captain's order before his departure, the squadron leader of the third squadron did not hesitate, and immediately ordered all the machine gunners of his squadron to move forward, support the second squadron, and join the ranks of firing at the Eighth Route Army.
At the same time, all the grenadiers of the entire squadron also began to shoot at the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army. With the fire of grenadiers and machine guns, the one, two, or two companies that held their positions were once again suppressed by the accurate fire of the army. More importantly, the several heavy machine guns that had just been reinforced were muted one after another in the covered fire of the army's two-wheel grenadier fire. In the blink of an eye, the entire battalion of 7 heavy machine guns was hit by the grenadiers of the army, and all of them turned into a pile of scrap iron....
Seeing the Eighth Route Army on the forward position, under the suppression of the fire of the third squadron behind him, he could barely raise his head. Once again, the second squadron leader raised his command knife and prepared to charge. At the same time, in order to be able to show his determination to charge, he did not rush to the end of the entire army. Instead, he jumped up from the ground and was the first to charge at the position of the Eighth Route Army, which was close at hand.
"Kill and give...", only the remaining more than 100 little devils saw that their squadron leader actually took the lead in charging at the front of the troops. The morale of the entire army was raised to the highest point in an instant. One by one, the little devils immediately jumped up, held up the bayonet in their hands, and rushed towards the forward position of the Eighth Route Army at the fastest speed.
"Grenades, throw grenades quickly..."Seeing the little devils getting closer and closer, and seeing the soldiers who were so pressed by the army on the battlefield that they couldn't lift their heads at all. As the commander of the first battalion of the forward position, he had to pin his last hope on grenades. Because, if you can't stop the offensive of the army, then your own battalion can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the little devils.
"Boom, boom, boom....", one grenade after another, was thrown out of the trenches by the fighters. Some landed next to the little devil and exploded, and some exploded directly on the little devil's head. And the little devils who charged, in the explosion of nearly a hundred grenades, fell one after another in a pool of blood.
However, these little devils know that if they can't capture the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, which is close at hand, what awaits them is death. So, in the rain of grenades, none of the more than a hundred little devils lay down to hide or retreat, they all charged forward one after another, the soldiers in front fell, and the ones behind continued to charge....
And when the second squadron was launching a suicidal attack on the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, the little devils of the third squadron were also not idle. More than a dozen grenadiers, in the hands of the little devils, fired grenades one after another at the forward positions, shooting as much as possible the living forces of the Eighth Route Army and providing fire cover for the second squadron in front of them.
More than a hundred little devils, round after round, in a dense rain of grenades, quickly wiped out the whole army. However, the one, two, and two companies that held their positions also paid a heavy price among the more than 100 grenades fired by the Japanese army. Two companies, after less than twenty minutes of fighting. At this moment, there are less than 100 warriors left who can continue to fight. And the remaining two hundred fighters. Either they died heroically, or they were seriously injured and could not continue to participate in the battle.
Perhaps the army under the mountain already knew that the first battalion was in danger and that the troops were insufficient. Although a squadron was completely wiped out, it dealt a big blow to the little devils in the rear. However, the third squadron, which was immediately behind the second. At the same time that the last soldier of the second squadron fell, without any pause, he immediately ordered his squadron, more than 170 soldiers except for the grenadiers, to start another wave of charge..."Battalion commander, a squadron of the little devil Second Potts has come up again..."As a grenade explosion sounded, the voice of a company commander came from the side of the first battalion commander..."The communicator, ordered the third company to come to reinforcements immediately. The rest, ready to fight. Today, there is only one person left in our battalion, and we will also block the little devils in front of our positions. Listen to me, prepare the grenades, and throw the grenades at me when the army enters...."The commander of the battalion ordered loudly, picked up the rifle of a wounded man in the trench and lay on the edge of the trench, and pointed the crosshair of the rifle accurately at the little devil who was getting closer and closer.
"Fire....bang bang bang... Da da da..."As soon as the order was given, nearly a hundred soldiers on the position who could continue to fight immediately picked up the weapons in their hands and began to shoot at the little devils who were getting closer and closer... The few light machine guns and dozens of rifles left on the position immediately sent a fairly dense rain of bullets at the Japanese army... However, the dense rain of bullets only brought down a dozen little devils. And the rest of the little devils, in this fairly dense rain of bullets, did not stop. Instead, they charge and return fire over and over again. In particular, the dozen or so light machine guns that the little devils attacked with the team, and the dense tongues of fire immediately knocked over the only few remaining machine guns on the position and completely scrapped... At the same time, the grenadiers of the army, before their squadron approached the forward position, still fired grenades one after another. Flying bullets and grenades kept falling, just when the little devil rushed to a distance of only 50 meters from the position, there were more than 100 fighters, and there were less than 50 people left, and all of them were wounded..."Throwing grenades..."Less than 50 soldiers, under the command of the battalion commander, shook their already sore arms and began to do their best to still hand grenades to the army. However, after more than half an hour of fighting, almost every fighter had a lot of physical strength due to the continuous throwing of grenades. And in such a situation, the accuracy of the grenade can be imagined.
Although round after round of grenades, explosions constantly occurred in front of the position. However, in the explosion of these grenades, the little devil only lost about a small squad of troops. Seeing the Eighth Route Army on the position in front of him, it seemed that he had no energy to launch a counterattack, and after looking at the nearly 100 imperial soldiers left behind him. The squadron leader of the third squadron couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, brandished his command knife, and ordered his soldiers to launch the final charge.
However, things often turn out unexpectedly. Just when the squadron leader of the Yue Army was confidently looking at the forward position of the Eighth Route Army, which was getting closer and closer, and commanded the troops to charge, a raindrop-like grenade suddenly flew out of the trench in front of him. More than a hundred grenades, no longer without a target, as just now, but accurately fell in their own troops.
