Chapter 574: All on the bayonet
"These devils are crazy, aren't they? Before the battle, simple observations are good, but I am a little too confident! In the position, Xue Bing said with some annoyance.
As soon as the devil support troops arrived, they launched a direct attack, undoubtedly not taking the defense of Nuanquan Town in their eyes, that is to say, they looked down on Xue Bing and others, which made Xue Bing very angry!
"Comrades! I'm aiming and shooting, don't waste bullets! Xue Bing ordered.
The soldiers of the guard company did not respond, but when shooting, they were more attentive, and would take a little more time to aim, striving to be able to kill a devil with one shot. It was just that not long after Xue Bing and the others fired, the devil's shells hit quickly.
This devil infantry squadron still has artillery, even if it is only a mortar, it can still play a certain role in the battle. In addition, the devil artillery found that Xue Bing and the others' marksmanship was very accurate, so naturally they didn't dare to hesitate, and decisively chose to open fire.
"Adjust the angle of the shelling! Fight for a round to kill the devil artillery! "The devil artillery was seen by Battalion Commander Wang of the artillery battalion as soon as the artillery was fired.
There are not many shells in the artillery battalion, but the artillery who killed the devil on the opposite side can still do it, this time Liu Gen did not open his mouth to guide, he believes that the artillery battalion can do this well. What's more, the devil artillery did not know about the existence of the artillery battalion, and how could it be the opponent of the artillery battalion without defense.
"Three, two, one, put!"
The soldiers of the artillery battalion moved quickly, and they were ready in less than half a minute, and with the order of Battalion Commander Wang, the soldiers quickly sent mortar shells into the gun chambers. The cannonballs flew out of the barrels, turned into black dots in the air, and landed near the devil artillery.
"Comrade Liu Gen, our artillery battalion has fulfilled its mission! Successfully took out the devil artillery! Battalion Commander Wang dropped the binoculars in his hand and reported excitedly.
This operation of the artillery battalion did not receive Liu Gen's guidance, and it was completely done by themselves. From this incident, Battalion Commander Wang could see the growth and changes of the artillery battalion, which made him very excited, and in a short period of time, the artillery battalion has been improved to a certain extent.
"It's not bad, it shows that the comrades of the artillery battalion are very attentive during this time." Liu Gen nodded with satisfaction.
Originally, Liu Gen thought that it was impossible for the artillery battalion to kill the devil artillery at one time, but it turned out that the artillery battalion had improved greatly, and successfully completed the artillery mission and killed the devil artillery, which did not disappoint Liu Gen.
After receiving Liu Gen's praise, Battalion Commander Wang was a little excited, and with Liu Gen there, he knew how big a gap there was between the soldiers of the artillery battalion and Liu Gen. It can be said that Battalion Commander Wang was sometimes very worried that Liu Gen would not be satisfied with the performance of the artillery battalion, and if the comrades of the artillery battalion knew Liu Gen's praise, then they would definitely be extremely happy.
On the opposite devil's position, Ichiro Hirai smeared his face with dust, and there were several small wounds on his face.
"Yaga! How can there still be artillery on these dirt roads? And the firepower is still so strong? “
"Why didn't you report it! Yaga! Ichiro Hirai's face was gloomy and he looked coldly at the infantry squad leader.
The infantry squad leader's face was miserable, and he could clearly feel the cold killing intent in Hirai Ichiro's eyes, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, I really didn't know that there were still artillery soldiers in this town, and I was willing to swear to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"Yaga!"
Ichiro Hirai became more and more annoyed, stretched out his hand, and slapped the infantry squad leader's face hard, making the infantry squad leader's body shake and almost be directly knocked down!
"With your achievements, what qualifications do you have to swear to His Majesty the Emperor! Now I command you to go up at once with your infantry squad! Be sure to take Warm Springs Town in a short time! Ichiro Hirai ordered in a cold voice.
The leader of the devil squad lowered his head, not daring to refuse Hirai Ichiro's order, he was sure that once he chose to refuse, he would inevitably be killed here directly by Hirai Ichiro.
"Huh? Still not going? Ichiro Hirai's face became colder and colder.
"Hayi! Let's go! ”
“……”
Soon, the leader of the devil squad rushed into the battlefield with his infantry squad, they wanted to desperately rush to the defensive position of Nuanquan Town, but they were suppressed by Xue Bing and others, and they couldn't easily rush to the defensive position.
The devils are attacking frantically, and there is no idea of anyone retreating, and the devils' Internet access is increasing rapidly.
Ichiro Hirai, who was in the rear, could clearly see the casualties of the ghost soldiers, but even so, he didn't have the slightest idea of tearing them off. In Hirai Ichiro's view, the firepower shown by the Eighth Route Army is not weak, but under the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to maintain such strong firepower all the time.
With the forces in Ichiro Hirai's hands, even if there are certain casualties, they are still within the range he can bear. In order to be able to take Nuan Quanzhen in the shortest possible time, Ichiro Hirai doesn't care about a certain sacrifice.
If you succeed in taking Nuanquan Town, then the sacrifice of these devil soldiers will be worthwhile.
The crazy charge of the devil soldiers did bring some trouble to Xue Bing and the others, but because Xue Bing and the others' marksmanship was not weak, it was not so simple for the devils to rush to the position. In addition, there is an artillery battalion in the rear, and it is not easy for the devil to rush to the position.
Not to mention the fact that in the positions there was also a part of the fighters of the artillery battalion, who were not directly engaged in the battle. The marksmanship of the soldiers of the artillery battalion is not strong, and it is difficult for them to participate in the battle, and it is difficult to inflict too many casualties on the devils.
It was with this in mind that Liu Gen would let the soldiers of the artillery battalion stay in the position, temporarily help the soldiers of the guard company to load their bullets, and improve the combat efficiency of the guard company. At the same time, there are soldiers of the artillery battalion in the position, which can also prevent the devils from rushing to the position.
"Don't the commanders of these devils care about the casualties of the devil soldiers? They're a little too crazy to attack! "Battalion Commander Wang couldn't understand the mind of the devil commander, and he didn't care about the casualties of the devil soldiers at all.
Under the continuous shooting of Xue Bing and others, there are devil soldiers who are not children who are killed at any time, but even so, the attacking devil soldiers have no intention of retreating.
Liu Gen's face has not changed much, he has already experienced such a crazy attack method as a devil.
So far in the battle, Liu Gen has seen something to some extent, the devil commander maintains such an attack strength, it should also be because the devil commander has no other way, otherwise these devil soldiers would not have paid so many casualties as a price.
"Let the comrades of the artillery battalion prepare, according to the strength of the devil's attack, the devil will definitely be able to rush up."
"Once the devils enter within fifty meters of the position, immediately launch an artillery bombardment on these attacking devils, and we must repel the attacks of these devils!" Liu Gen's face was a little serious. Now Xue Bing and the others have successfully suppressed the devil's attack, but this does not mean that they can continue to suppress it.
The guard company led by Xue Bing has limited strength, even if they don't have to consider the lack of ammunition, a long battle will consume a lot of their physical strength. Even if the comrades of the guard company have undergone rigorous training, they are not iron men, and it is impossible for them to maintain their combat effectiveness at the peak all the time.
Battalion Commander Wang nodded heavily, and he walked quickly towards the artillery battalion soldiers hiding behind the bunker, considering the importance of the battle, he needed to sit in the artillery battalion.
The battle continued until eight o'clock in the evening, and the battle was not over.
The attacking devil soldiers really didn't seem to know how to retreat, and they didn't even feel tired, they were fighting on the battlefield all the time, and no devils retreated. On the battlefield, there were many corpses of devil soldiers, and the bodies of many devil soldiers were piled up to form simple bunkers, which reduced the casualties of devil soldiers.
Through the telescope, Liu Gen could see that at the rear of the battlefield, there was a small army of devils. Whenever a devil soldier retreats from the battlefield against the combat order, then the devil of this squad will shoot directly and kill the devil soldier who disobeys the attack order.
After mercilessly killing some devil soldiers who disobeyed the order, no one on the battlefield dared to withdraw, it was dangerous to stay on the battlefield, but they still had a chance of surviving. If you can escape from the battlefield, you will definitely be killed, and after understanding this, the devil soldiers will naturally choose to stay on the battlefield.
Liu Gen sighed a little, the devil commander on the opposite side is not simple, and being able to suppress these devil soldiers with such powerful means and prevent these devil soldiers from retreating from the battlefield is enough to show the ability of the devil commander. Liu Gen can be sure that the devil commander on the opposite side is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
In order to consume the physical strength and ammunition of Xue Bing and the others in the position, the devil commander chose to use the lives of a large number of devil soldiers as the price, if it were not for the artillery battalion shelling several times during the period, then the devil soldiers might have rushed to the position a long time ago!
The battle so far is a great test for both sides of the battle, and whoever can hold on to the end will be able to win the final battle.
If Liu Gen didn't have other troops in his hands, then he would definitely have no other choice but to hold on to these devils to the end. Until now, there are not many remaining troops in the hands of the devil commander, and according to Liu Gen's observation, it should be less than a squad.
In Liu Gen's hands, the strength is far beyond that of the devil, and he did not choose to directly use the troops in his hands during the day, because Liu Gen wanted to reduce his own casualties as much as possible.
Now, the devils are in a tired condition and lack of combat effectiveness, in Liu Gen's opinion, it is a great opportunity to kill these devils!
"Battalion Commander Wang, immediately order the artillery battalion to carry out three consecutive rounds, and after the shelling, all the staff will charge with bayonets! Just kill these devils! Liu Gen looked at the back of the battlefield, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
Five minutes later, the shells flew out of the artillery battalion position and landed on the battlefield, near the devil soldiers, blowing up obvious craters. After three consecutive fires, the battlefield was filled with the wailing, crying, and scolding of the devil soldiers, and the smoke and dust filled the surroundings.
"Kill! Kill these little devils! Xue Bing roared and took the lead in rushing out with the comrades of the guard company.
Liu Gen's speed is also very fast, holding the broadsword he got from Nuanquan Town in his hand, and after rushing into the battlefield, he can kill a devil with every swing. In Liu Gen's hands, the big knife has become a sharp weapon to kill devils, and no devil can block Liu Gen's full slash.
At the rear of the battlefield, Hirai Ichiro's face was cold, he could hear the shouts of killing coming from the battlefield, and he knew that the troops of the Eighth Route Army defending in the position took the initiative to launch a white-knives battle!
"Order the remaining 3rd squad to rush forward immediately! Let these dirt eight roads feel the fighting power of the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire! Ichiro Hirai commanded loudly.
In Hirai Ichiro's opinion, as long as he can repel these white-knuckle battles initiated by the Eighth Route Army, then he can win the battle! The Eighth Route Army launched a white-knuckle battle, which undoubtedly showed that the ammunition in the hands of these Eighth Route Army was insufficient, so they chose to engage in white-knuckle warfare.
"Kill! Kill these little devils! Leave the devil commander to me! ”
"Kill!"
“……”
Suddenly, there was also a shouting and killing sound from the rear of the devil, and Ichiro Hirai, who was originally cold-faced, couldn't continue to keep calm, how could the Eighth Route Army still have troops to go around to his rear!
