Chapter 640: Reinforcements with High Hopes (First Update!) )
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Shells fell from the sky and suddenly exploded on the positions of the four companies!
More than a dozen fighters were caught off guard and were blown up on the spot, and several fighters were directly blown out of the trenches!
"Shelling, concealment!" The commander of the fourth company shouted in pain!
The rate of mortar fire is too fast, and the devil attacking troops are close!
A lot of soldiers are still lying on the edge of the trenches and throwing grenades at the devil attacking troops, and the second round of shells has been smashed down!
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen fighters were blown up!
It wasn't until the devils stopped attacking and all the living soldiers hid in the trenches that the casualties came down!
"Company commander, the devils are attacking again!"
After less than half a minute of concealment, the sound of the warning post sounded!
Through the smoke of gunpowder from the explosion of the shell, the company commander vaguely saw sixty or seventy devils rushing over like crazy, holding rifles in one hand and grenades in the other!
"The devils are rushing up, they all throw grenades in front, throw them all, and then prepare to fight bayonets with the devils!" The company commander shouted anxiously!
Grab a grenade, pull out the safety and smash it on the butt, and throw it hard!
Throw one, then throw the second!
At this time, the scene that the company commander was most worried about appeared!
At the moment when the grenade exploded, there were already devils rushing to more than 20 meters in front of the formation!
Even if you have the advantage of terrain and are condescending, the devil can throw a grenade into the position!
And that's exactly what they do!
More than a dozen grenades emitting white smoke fell from the sky and smashed into the mountain beam position!
The sound of explosions sounded together on the positions of the four companies!
The two grenades were the most ruthless, smashed directly into the trenches!
The grenade exploded, and the four soldiers next to him fell down, and their bodies were blown up with wounds and blood everywhere, and they were silent in the blink of an eye!
Of course, the casualties of the devils are greater!
They were all exposed to the surface of the position, and in the face of the thunderstorm falling from the sky, there was no way to hide!
"Get on the bayonet, get ready to fight the bayonet with the little devil!" After throwing out the last grenade beside him, the company commander shouted at the top of his voice while loading a new magazine for the box gun!
There are still more than 20 devils in front of the formation, and there are more than 30 in the fourth company with a full strength of more than 150 people.
But his family knows his own family affairs, if the two troops really collide with each other and fight with bayonets, in five minutes at most, the remaining more than 30 people in the fourth company will be killed by the devils!
But now the troops have no way to retreat, even if they know that they are invincible, the company commander can only bite the bullet!
But he's not without a chance of winning!
The whole company plus him has a total of five box guns, if they can be used well, kill at least half of the devils in an instant before the hand-to-hand encounter, the riflemen drag the remaining devils, buy time for all the box guns to change bullets, and then use the box guns to kill the remaining devils, then they will win this battle!
Seeing the devil rushing closer and closer, he could already clearly see the other party's righteous face, and rushed towards him with a bayonet, wanting to poke a big hole in himself!
The company commander decisively pulled the trigger!
"The box cannon fired, give me a hard shot!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The gun rang out, and the devil who rushed to the front fell heavily to the ground with a face full of shock and unwillingness, and everyone was beaten with several bloody holes!
They were one step away from the final victory, but they didn't have a chance to see it!
The devil in the back was blinded for a moment, and then began to scold, but the movements on his feet did not stop!
Keep your bayonet up and continue to assault!
"The riflemen will catch up, the others will change the bullets, hurry up!" The company commander decisively ordered!
More than 30 Eighth Route Army against more than a dozen devils, bayonets touch bayonets!
It stands to reason that the fourth company, which has a threefold advantage in strength, will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the devils, and at least a few can be stabbed to death!
But the results were very different!
Only one devil died, but six people died in the fourth company!
The huge casualty ratio further proves the devil's strong bayonet strength!
Fortunately, at this time, there were already box guns that had been replaced with bullets and joined the battle in time!
"Sir, the attacking force is all wiped out, but the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam is also gone!" The Japanese attacked the position, and the adjutant reported with his head down!
The captain of the devil team had a gloomy face, and he thought of all the results, but this one!
His face became more and more embarrassed, and he directly turned into an angry lion, and scolded!
"Bageya Road, I didn't expect the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam to be so capable of fighting, and it is as fierce as the imperial army!"
"Artillery fire, blast the rest of the Eighth Route Army to minced meat for me!"
"The first squadron continues to attack, take the mountain pass, kill the remaining Eighth Route Army, and then march quickly to reinforce the blockade line!"
"We have been delayed here for almost half an hour, we can't drag it any longer, according to intelligence, the blockade line has already been captured by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
When the explosion sounded on the mountain beam again, the second battalion commander Zhang Yun also had a calm face, and his expression was very ugly!
The devil is so ruthless that he even fires during the attack, and he is not even afraid of accidentally injuring his own people!
Fortunately, at this time, the communication staff officer of the regiment headquarters sent him good news!
"Battalion Commander Zhang, the regiment commander ordered: The roundabout troops are all in place, and the troops can counterattack!"
"Also, the roundabout troops will use your counterattack as a signal to launch an attack on the Japanese army at the same time and annihilate them all!"
The solemn expression on Zhang Yun's face disappeared in an instant!
His eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Great, instructor, I've been holding back for so long." It's finally time to fight back! ”
"Order: Fifth Company, Sixth Company, Fire Company, enter the position as soon as the devil's shelling stops, and then wait for my order to counterattack!"
"The devil must think that there is no one on the mountain beam, so we will plan and put them close to fight!"
More than 100 devils, armed with rifles, screamed and rushed to the mountain beam!
In their eyes, the occupation of Shanliang is already a sure thing, and there will be no accidents!
So the closer they are to the mountain beams, the more careless they are, and the denser the offensive formation becomes!
Fifty meters, there is no movement on the mountain beam!
This further confirmed their inner judgment, there was indeed no enemy on the mountain beam, and the Eighth Route Army was finished!
"Da Da Da ......"
The sudden sound of machine-gun fire interrupted their dreams!
A dozen tongues of fire suddenly appeared, some of them were shot out of crooked handles, and some were shot by heavy machine guns!
Bullets whizzed towards them, intertwining with each other to form an airtight web of bullets that enveloped them!
The captain of the devil team was beaten again, and looking at the sudden change in front of him, he directly showed a stunned expression!
"Boom, boom!"
Before they could react from the shock, the sound of the shell exploding reached their ears, and it sounded in his ears!
"Sir, there is more than one company of the Eighth Route Army on the mountain beam, judging from the firepower, there is at least one battalion, and it is also a reinforced battalion equipped with mortars!" The adjutant exclaimed with a shocked face!
"They are shelling our heavy machine-gun positions, and the heavy machine-gun positions must be moved immediately!"
"There are also attacking troops, the blocking fire of the Eighth Route Army is too fierce, they must retreat immediately, otherwise they will definitely repeat the mistakes of the second squadron and the whole army will be destroyed!"
The captain almost shouted and ordered: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, go and give orders immediately!" ”
"The Eighth Route Army deliberately hid its strength just now and showed weakness to us, and it must be planning a big conspiracy that we don't know about!"
"The attacking troops will be withdrawn immediately, and the artillery will cover!"
"Also, order the rest of our troops to be on higher alert, although I don't know what this conspiracy is, it must have something to do with us!"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The explosion sounded again, this time directly at the artillery position!
"Sir, the artillery positions are also being targeted by the Eighth Route Army, and the shells are being opened from behind us, and there is also the Eighth Route Army behind us!" The squadron leader of the third squadron reported, with a jaw-dropping and shocked expression!
The captain's face suddenly turned pale!
At this time, if he still doesn't understand the opponent's conspiracy, then he, the captain, will be in vain!
shouted in a lost voice: "Retreat, everyone retreats, leave here directly, and go back to Datong City!" ”
"We have been fooled, the appetite of the Eighth Route Army is not ordinary, they want to surround us here and annihilate us completely!"
"Da Da Da ......"
The captain is only now reacting, and it is obviously too late!
The order to exit, before the people moved, gunshots rang out all around, very dense!
"Sir, we're really surrounded!"
The adjutant didn't believe the captain's judgment at first, but now he did, and then he also showed a dumbfounded expression!
"What are you still doing in a daze, gather troops and break through immediately!" The captain's eyes were also full of shock, he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to be so fast! But he did not lose his mind and commanded very decisively!
"The attacking troops must have suffered heavy casualties, artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons are also targeted, we only have one infantry squadron left in our hands, and we won't be able to leave if we don't leave!"
The Japanese garrison headquarters in Datong City!
The combat staff officer who put down the microphone looked solemn and hesitated for a few seconds before he reported hard!
"General, by now we have lost contact with three strongholds on the blockade line. Nearby garrisons report: they also heard the explosion of mountain artillery shells on the battlefield! ”
"We judged that these mountain cannons must have been used by the Eighth Route Army when they attacked our coal mines!"
"It must be so!" Major General Noda replied with a calm face!
"If there are no siege heavy weapons such as mountain artillery, the stronghold we built on the blockade line can at least withstand the attack of one main regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Now that I have lost three strongholds at once, I can't think of any other reason except that the Eighth Route Army has siege mountain artillery to help!"
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, three strongholds have been breached, and the artillery tower in the middle must have been completely destroyed, adding up to no less than ten, which means that the blockade line we worked so hard to establish was broken through by the Eighth Route Army for at least five kilometers!"
"With such a long vacuum, even if the Eighth Route Army has tens of thousands of absentees in its hands, it can easily withdraw to the base area!"
"What about reinforcements? It stands to reason that they should have already gone to the front, why hasn't there been news yet! ”
"With their firepower and combat effectiveness, even if they can't plug such a big gap, they can still intercept some absenteeism!"
"Contact them immediately, and if you find the Eighth Route Army and absenteeism, intercept it if you can, and resolutely eliminate it if you can't intercept it!"
"Once these absentees enter the base area of the Eighth Route Army. It won't take long to turn into a well-trained Eighth Route Army, and then in turn kill our soldiers! I must nip this hidden danger in the bud, even if they are still a bunch of unarmed and even helpless absenteeism! ”
The chief of staff immediately agreed: "The general is wise! ”
