Chapter 377: The mountains and rivers are exhausted

A large amount of dust came overwhelmingly, and all the soldiers of the third company invariably set their eyes on the Japanese troops on the opposite side of the position.

Seeing the Japanese tanks rumbling slowly towards their positions, Tao Ran immediately ordered the soldiers to aim.

A puff of white smoke suddenly rose from the Han position, and a rocket with a tail flame accurately hit the front armor of the Japanese tank in the center of the attacking force.

In front of the Han army, a tank killer who specializes in dealing with modern tanks, the Japanese army's tank, which was still in the era of World War II, was like paper paste, and the seemingly indestructible front armor was torn like a piece of paper, and the rocket quickly drilled into the body and exploded quickly.

With a loud bang, the Japanese tank suddenly fell apart, leaving only a pair of tattered tracks that still maintained the last dignity of the Japanese tank.

The Japanese soldiers who were following the tank were immediately injured and fell to the ground by the debris of the body that exploded, and the worst Japanese soldier was almost half cut off by the waist.

However, the battlefield was ruthless, even after witnessing the tragedy of this tank and the Japanese soldiers behind it, the Japanese attacking troops did not slow down the attack at all, and still followed the pace of the Japanese tanks and advanced slowly.

The only rocket had already been fired, and their machine-gun rifles were ineffective against the tanks, and the only hope was to put it on the temporary platoon commander.

In order to save bullets, the Han soldiers of the third company could only let the Japanese troops on the opposite side shoot indiscriminately, but there was nothing they could do.

The Japanese tanks were only a hundred meters away from the position, and the tank's artillery had already inflicted great casualties on the surviving soldiers of the third company, and counting the lightly wounded, there were only twenty soldiers on the position who could still fight.

In front of the position of the Third Company, behind a tattered wooden box, the temporary commander of the Third Company kept an eye on the distance of the Japanese troops and put his hand on the button that was placed aside.

Suddenly, the location of the Japanese troops was like fireworks, a series of explosions from right to left, and several Japanese tanks in the front were suddenly lifted up by the sudden explosion, not to mention the tank soldiers inside, it is estimated that even the complete corpses are not even there at this moment.

Under the sudden attack, the Japanese attacking force finally stopped the pace of attack, the Japanese infantry fell to the ground in unison, and a medical paramedic quickly crawled forward to search for the surviving Japanese soldiers.

And the Japanese sappers were not idle, one by one they slowly groped forward with mine-sweeping devices.

Seeing that the Japanese attacking troops had finally stopped the almost frantic attack, the soldiers of the third company finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, when the enemy advances, I retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I advance, of course, the soldiers of the Han army will not let these Japanese sappers easily clear mines.

However, the Japanese soldiers also tried to suppress the fire on the spot to cover their sappers, and the two sides began a major battle, and the air was filled with thick gunsmoke, and soldiers on both sides were constantly killed or injured under such close fire.

If it was a well-manned situation, the Han troops would most like to see this scene, because their firepower was enough to overwhelm the Japanese army.

But even so, the Han soldiers, who had undergone formal military training and possessed more advanced weapons, were able to stop the progress of the Japanese engineers in mine clearance with an inferior force of less than 20 men.

However, the cost of this was that the remaining 20 casualties of the 3rd Company were rapidly accelerating, and within 5 minutes of the exchange of fire between the two sides, the casualties of the 3rd Company were close to 10, and the remaining soldiers were only one squad.

Not only was the strength seriously insufficient, but the ammunition was also stretched, with an average of only the last magazine of ammunition left for each soldier, and in desperation, Tao Ran could only order the whole company to stop firing.

After counting the number of people, Tao Ran's face became more and more ugly, and there were only eight soldiers left who could fight, and this was still added to himself, and the temporary company commander had already died under the guns in the fierce battle just now.

"Everyone obeyed my orders and retreated alternately. Tao Ran gave an order, and the soldiers of the third company could only reluctantly abandon this land that had sacrificed countless soldiers, and retreated alternately with the help of a large number of covers on the battlefield.

"Damn, when will those tank soldiers come, is Lao Tzu going to die here today?" Tao Ran looked at the empty streets behind him and muttered bitterly.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and an officer of the Japanese army, who carried a command knife on his waist, saw through the gap that the enemy on the opposite side seemed to be retreating, and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the sappers to quickly step forward to clear the mines, but soon the sappers reported a very speechless result, the enemy did not lay mines at all.

After listening to the report of the engineer squad leader, the Japanese commander's face suddenly turned red like a pig's liver, and he felt as if he had been humiliated, so he stood up suddenly, pulled out his command knife, held it in front of his chest, pointed the tip of the knife directly at the enemy position in front, and shouted: "Kill it!"

"Onboard!" The Japanese soldiers who had been lying on the ground suddenly quickly got up from the ground under the command of the commander, shouted long live, and rushed forward like a tide.

Seeing that the enemy soldiers seemed to be about to tear them apart, Tao Ran pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the only seven remaining soldiers of the third company beside him, as if he was about to breathe fire in his eyes, and said: "Brothers, as the last company commander of the third company, I was only a small squad leader when the war started, and I had no education. I don't have anything to say, just one word, Sanlian!

"Three companies, swear to live and die with the position!" shouted the seven soldiers of the third company in unison.

Coincidentally, each soldier silently took out his bayonet, loaded the bayonet on his rifle with a brush, leaned against the back of the bunker, and waited for the last moment to come.

The surrounding land was constantly bombarded by artillery fire, and countless pieces of mud with gunpowder smoke fell on the heads of each of the soldiers of the third company, and everyone was discouraged and embarrassed.

"Da Da Da!" A fierce burst of gunfire rang out from the position of the third company, and the sudden fierce fire interrupted the momentum of the Japanese attacking troops, as if cutting wheat, and in an instant, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, losing their combat ability.

However, I thought that the Japanese army would stop attacking and defending on the spot under its own firepower, but the Japanese attacking troops rushed up like moths that were not afraid of death.

Seeing this scene, Tao Ran resolutely issued the last order to his comrades around him: "Shoot out the bullets in the gun and prepare to fight the bayonet!"

Hearing Tao Ran's words, everyone withdrew their guns, held their rifles tightly in their arms, and quietly enjoyed the last moments of their lives.

At this moment, several cannon shots suddenly rang out behind the soldiers of the third company.
