Chapter 828: The Bamboo Basket Fetchs Water (Second Update!) )
The Seventh Company has been defeated, the dead are dead, the wounded are wounded, and if there are dozens of people left on the battlefield who can't be taken out, then the Seventh Company will be completely finished.
It was impossible for the company commander to watch the Seventh Company destroyed in his own hands.
Frowning, racking his brains to think of a solution.
It can not only drag the devil's attacking troops, but also cover the concentration of troops here, and then break through together.
The grenade inserted in the waist of his subordinate suddenly attracted the attention of the company commander, and his eyes lit up, and an idea popped up in his mind.
"Grenades, how did I forget about them."
"Immediately gather all the remaining grenades of the troops, send them to the troops that have not yet withdrawn, let them spread treacherous mines in the courtyard they defend, slow down the attack speed of the Japanese puppet army, buy time, and then everyone march quickly to concentrate here, break through the siege and kill together."
"Boom, boom, boom......"
After the last round of shells and explosives exploded, the breach was once again covered in smoke and dust from the explosion.
Don't miss the opportunity.
The company commander was the first to rush out of the yard with a box cannon in hand.
"Everyone is rushing with me! If we kill it, we win, kill ......."
The company commander was like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, rushing to the front.
The company commander took the lead, and after this scene was seen by the other fighters behind him, it was definitely more exciting than a dose of stimulant.
The panic in his heart was all stimulated, and he followed closely behind the company commander, screaming and rushing to the battlefield.
At the entrance of Zhangzhuang Village, the devil Shaozuo was very anxious.
Both themselves and the Eighth Route Army are scrambling for time, and whoever wins the opportunity and wins in one of the battles will become the final winner.
What's more, winning or losing will be known in the next tens of minutes, or even ten minutes.
At the critical moment, he didn't care about any danger, and directly climbed up a section of the ruins that had not been blown up, holding a telescope, and staring condescendingly at the battlefield.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army in Zhuangzi has begun to break through." The infantry squadron leader suddenly shouted, looking anxious.
"What are the attacking troops eating, why are they not interspersed in place, and they are divided and surrounded." Shao Zuo asked with a fiery temperament.
The Eighth Route Army's breakthrough artillery fire was too fierce, and the shells and explosives bags fell like rain, directly blowing up a section of no-man's land more than 100 meters wide.
The Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army, which were a little farther away, were also affected, suffering heavy casualties, and even self-preservation was a problem.
If you want them to reinforce the gap in time, plug the gap, and block the breakthrough force of the Eighth Route Army, the possibility is almost zero.
So the attacking forces in the other three directions were his only chance to hold back the Eighth Route Army.
Looking at the figures, the Eighth Route Army gathered at least 100 people to break through to the gap.
This means that his plan to divide them by attacking them and finally destroy them has failed.
The more Shao Zuo thought about it, the more angry he became, like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
Just then, a herald suddenly rushed out of the village, bringing the answers that Shaozo was anxious to know.
"Sir, the attacking troops have encountered a large number of mines in the village...... No, it should be Thunder to be exact. ”
"The Eighth Route Army deployed a large number of tricky mines in the yard with grenades, and the interspersed troops rushed into the minefield by surprise, causing heavy casualties and having to stop the assault."
Shao Zuo showed an expression of sudden realization, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, these Eighth Route Army are really cunning enough, and they actually thought of using trickery and thunder. ”
"I didn't expect our carefully formulated encirclement plan to be broken in the hands of a bunch of grenades."
"The Eighth Route Army has rushed out of the gap, and they will definitely not be able to annihilate them tonight."
"However, if these Eighth Route Army want to slip out from under our noses, what must be left behind, and I will make them pay?"
"The Eighth Route Army must have only laid out treacherous mines in the dozens of courtyards they just gave up in the middle of the village, as long as we bypass those courtyards, those terrorizing mines will not threaten us."
"Order the attacking troops to bypass the minefield and pursue the Eighth Route Army, which is breaking through. If you can kill one more, the Eighth Route Army will kill one more. ”
"Order the guards to hold the line of defense, hold back the two Eighth Route Armies at all costs, prevent them from converging, and buy time for our chasing troops."
The head of the regiment, Li Hao's face was very solemn.
The battle was much worse than he had imagined.
The sudden entry of the flying thunder cannon into the battle did cause a large number of casualties to the Japanese puppet army's blocking troops.
Seeing that the troops were about to break through them and successfully enter Zhouzhuang.
A volley of mortar shells rained down from the sky, disrupting his rescue plans.
The two dozen soldiers who rushed to the front, including veterans and supplementary soldiers, were instantly overwhelmed by artillery fire.
The position of the flying thunder cannon also suffered several shells, one flying thunder cannon was blown into scrap metal, and one flying thunder cannon was blown over.
More than a dozen gunners were killed, wounded, and almost incapacitated.
"Regiment commander, the devil transferred a mortar squadron over, the artillery fire is too fierce, with them intercepting, we can't rush through at all." The commander of the guard company reported with a heartache on his face.
Li Hao replied with a calm face: "You can't rush so hard!" ”
"More than a dozen mortars are staring at us, and there is no concealment on the entire assault road, and the troops are completely exposed to artillery fire, and no matter how many people are blown up."
"What then?" The guard company commander was in a hurry.
"If we don't break through the interception of the Japanese puppet army, we won't be able to get close to Zhangzhuang, and it will be impossible to cover the seventh company to kill out of the village."
The regiment commander held up the binoculars and replied: "There is no need for cover!" ”
"Look at the location where Zhang Zhuang was bombed just now, the Seventh Company has already been killed."
"The devil infantry is scattered everywhere, and it will definitely not be able to stop the breakthrough troops of the seventh company. I judge that the devils will use artillery fire to intercept them instead, as if they had intercepted our assault troops just now. ”
"If the Seventh Company rushes over under artillery fire, even if it finally joins us, there will be very few troops left that can rush over."
"So we absolutely don't allow that to happen."
"Order: The troops will be divided into two immediately, and half of the troops will continue to attack the Japanese puppet army's blocking position, attract the attention of the devils, and let their artillery fire continue to blow up here."
"The others bypassed the blocking position and responded to the Seventh Company that rushed out of Zhangzhuang."
"Tell them that when they rush out of Zhangzhuang, they will divide their troops to break through the encirclement, and the troops will go directly into the forest, get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese puppet army, and then concentrate on the Seventh Company station."
An hour later, the gunfire stopped, and the battlefield, which had been lively for half a night, was completely quiet.
Watching one after another corpses of the imperial army being carried out of the village, Shao Zuo's face became more and more solemn.
After carefully preparing for so long, and even risking his life to go to the battlefield to direct the battle, the result still did not meet the battle expectations.
For Shao Zuo, this is definitely a slap in the face.
His eyes were red and red, as if he could breathe fire.
The infantry squadron leader rushed out of Zhang Zhuang in a hurry, and was just about to report something, but Shao Zuo's gloomy face frightened him, and he swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips.
At this moment, Shao Zuo is like a powder keg that may explode at any time, a little spark can detonate him, the squadron leader doesn't want to be this spark, and finally become Shao Zuo's punching bag to vent his anger.
