Chapter 202: Death Assault (Part II)
Like a volcano that had been silent for thousands of years suddenly erupted, from the trench that had been torn open by the Eighth Route Army, a loud shout of killing suddenly sounded. With this shout of killing, groups of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed desperately to their chosen targets with the weapons in their hands. And the first to bear the brunt are the Japanese bunkers that can block the evacuation road of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army!
Although they put on a posture of fighting for their lives, at the moment of jumping out of the trench, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who formed a three-person combat team, did not recklessly force their charge towards the bunkers that had formed a network of crossfire, but with the help of the cover of some craters and low obstacles, they continued to leap forward suddenly during the interval of machine gun fire. Although three or four soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were still knocked down by machine guns during the leap forward, the other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had always maintained a low posture and crawled forward, had quietly approached within the distance of bombing.
Pulling out the rope under the handle of the grenade, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army raised his arm sharply and threw the sneering and smoking grenade towards a bunker. But at the moment when the grenade was fired, the arm raised by the soldier of the Eighth Route Army was also broken into several pieces by bullets fired from the Japanese machine gun.
screaming and hugging the arm that was broken into several pieces, the soldier of the Eighth Route Army who had completed the bomb throwing action didn't even bother to look at the arm that had been twisted into a strange shape, but his eyes were always staring at the grenade that fell next to the hole in the dark fort, and he yelled fiercely: "Lao Tzu blew up you bastards!" ”
To the surprise of the Eighth Route Army soldier, the Jinzao grenade that was accurately thrown next to the shooting hole in the dark fort had completely lost the slightest movement after a moment of green smoke. And the machine guns in the bunker were even more ferocious.
Gritting his teeth fiercely, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had already broken their arms, screamed almost with a bit of despair: "Jin is unreliable......"
Seeing that the Jinzao grenade thrown by his comrades did not explode, another soldier of the Eighth Route Army, who was also prostrate to the distance of the bomb, took out the last Japanese-style grenade from behind his waist: "I have good goods here......
Before the words fell, a shuttle of bullets flying from the oblique side had already knocked the soldier of the Eighth Route Army who had just touched out the Japanese-style grenade to the back and overturned on his back, and the Japanese-style grenade that was originally held in his hand also rolled out!
Clenching his teeth, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had one arm broken, rolled several times without hesitation, and picked up the Japanese grenade. Biting his teeth and pulling open the safety bolt on the Japanese grenade, the soldier of the Eighth Route Army who had broken one arm held the grenade high, strode towards the hidden fort that was still spitting flames in the hole, waved his remaining arm, and smashed the grenade on a stone piled up on the bunker!
In the sound of explosions, several other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had crawled to the left of the bunker also threw grenades at several other bunkers. While the smoke from the grenade had not cleared, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who had finished dropping the bombs shouted almost in unison: "Let's go! ”
Carrying Li Jiashun, who had passed out, on his back, several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were responsible for sending Li Jiashun back to He's Daji, jumped out of the trench without saying a word, and strode away in the direction he came......
Seeing that the few comrades-in-arms who were evacuating with Li Jiashun on their backs ran away in the blink of an eye, almost all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were fighting were relieved. One of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, after cooperating with two other comrades to stab a Japanese soldier, suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "Cannon...... The devil's cannon! ”
Looking in the direction pointed out by the soldier of the Eighth Route Army, several other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also saw that in a depression that had just been sorted out, several Japanese mountain guns were impressively placed. And in several ring fortifications not far from the depression, several large-caliber mortars are also in sight.
In just an instant, the battlefield suddenly sounded the roar of several soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in unison: "The devil's artillery position is over there, press over!" ”
Amid the roar, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had already dispersed and rushed out of the trenches and formed a three-person battle group, changed the direction of attack almost in unison, and rushed desperately towards the Japanese artillery positions from different positions on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were still holding grenades in their hands, even used their last bit of strength to smash all kinds of grenades at the Japanese soldiers who were blocking between themselves and the Japanese artillery positions!
Amid the sound of explosions one after another, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who formed a three-person combat group, launched an attack on any Japanese soldier they encountered at the same time on a curve several hundred meters wide. And those Japanese soldiers who originally thought that the Eighth Route Army would break through to the position directly in front of Hejia Daji, suddenly saw that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had changed the direction of attack, and they were also a little confused for a while.
Some Japanese soldiers hurriedly jumped out of the trenches, shouting indiscriminately to stop the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were charging in the direction of the artillery positions, while other Japanese soldiers were stationed in the trenches, for fear of falling into the Eighth Route Army's plan to attack the west again. In an instant, the blocking fire, which was originally considered dense, was also weakened by three points.
Without looking at the mutilated bodies of his comrades who had rushed into the trenches with grenades and perished with several Japanese soldiers, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army who had rushed into the Japanese trenches was half-crouching and touched around, opened a wooden box resting in the trench, and grabbed a few Japanese-style grenades from the wooden box.
He didn't stand up, he didn't even need to look at the direction of the bomb, the soldier of the Eighth Route Army, who already knew that he was in a deep siege, threw the box of Japanese grenades one by one around his side with unprecedented speed, and then groped again to find a bloody 38 cover, pulled the bolt and withdrew the cartridge case, got up and lay on the trench, aimed at the nearest Japanese soldier and pulled the trigger.
Coincidentally, after several other fortifications built by the Japanese army were also occupied by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who had already lost a single bullet, all chose to shoot indiscriminately in the fortifications they had just occupied. Although it did not cause much damage to the Japanese army, it was quite surprising in terms of momentum. Especially after a grenade thrown by a soldier of the Eighth Route Army killed a low-ranking Japanese officer, the Japanese soldiers stationed in the trenches showed some signs of confusion.
Under the cover of their comrades-in-arms, the two three-person combat teams of the Eighth Route Army almost crashed into the mortar position of the Japanese army by mistake. Two of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, armed with bayonets and armed with bayonets, did not hesitate in the slightest, and as soon as they pounced on the mortar position, they roared and waved their rifles at several Japanese artillery soldiers with their bare hands, and stabbed the two Japanese soldiers to the ground in three or two blows.
Behind the two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were wielding bayonets and fighting with the Japanese troops, the three wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army quickly opened the ammunition box stacked next to the mortar, grabbed the mortar shell that had been loaded with the collision fuse, slammed the tail of the bullet on the steel bottom plate of the mortar, and raised their hands to throw the mortar shell towards the Japanese artillery position with mountain guns not far away.
Seeing the mortar shells that staggered into the air and fell straight towards the artillery position, one of the Japanese artillery commanders suddenly screamed and ran away with his head - in order to facilitate the handling of the shells during the shelling, the shells that had just been carried out from the trucks were not stored in accordance with the provisions of the artillery regulations, but were all piled up around the mountain guns. Once the ammunition is detonated, I am afraid that the entire artillery position will be blown to ashes!
Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe God is bless these brave soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Two or three mortar shells had just been thrown into the Japanese artillery position, and a pile of shells stacked near the mountain artillery had been detonated by the falling mortar shells. The violent explosion of ammunition suddenly shook the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese soldiers near the explosion point all jumped up from the ground and fell heavily to the ground......
Regardless of being shocked to the point of bleeding from the mouth and nose, and even less able to hear any sound in their ears, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who barely supported themselves and got up from the ground, laughed and grabbed the mortar shells again, and roared loudly and threw the mortar shells around again: "Little devil, eat your own shells!" ”
"Lao Tzu also opened foreign meat and used cannons......"
Dumbfounded as he looked at the huge flames rising from the direction of the artillery position, and Injiro, who was also shocked by the violent explosion and almost couldn't stand, turned his head to look at Yukikushi Taro who was standing beside him with a pale face: "Your Excellency, those anti-Japanese forces are really desperate to break through....... Please also ask Your Excellency to issue an order as soon as possible, and ask the troops after the He family's gathering to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression! ”
Yukigataro, who narrowed his eyes and held his hands behind his back, looked at the flames rising in the direction of the artillery position, and shook his head a little boredly: "It's like a beast trapped in a trap....... Even if you know that the final fate is to be slaughtered and turned into food, you still have to have to do some useless struggle! Even if they break through the position in front of He Jiadaji, these guys will bump into the reinforcements coming from Baoding...... The end of destruction is already doomed, no matter how fierce the struggle is, what effect can it have? ”
Turning his eyes to look at Injiro who was standing beside him, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yukikura Taro sighed slightly: "Okay...... All right...... Although in terms of obedience, Injiro-kun did a really good job, but in the end it was still a little boring - send a signal to close the circle! If the total annihilation of these anti-Japanese forces can be regarded as a credit, then it is up to me and Jiro, who is waiting in the rear of the He family's big gathering, to receive this credit! ”
Hurriedly agreeing, Injiro almost rushed to the side of the communication soldier who was already waiting on the side, grabbed the flare gun, and fired three red signal flares in succession into the sky. A moment after the red flare lifted into the air, three green flares also staggered into the sky from the mountains and forests behind He Jiadaji......
