Chapter 446: The Silent Riverbank

Under the intensive bombardment of the grenadiers, Tianbao suffered more and more casualties, and they were soon forced down the river embankment.

At the same time, the Japanese troops who were hiding in the middle of the river to repair also took the opportunity to get out of the reeds and began to cross the river again with snowy bayonets.

Boom...... Boom

Hearing the bombardment of the grenadiers becoming more and more complete, Tianbao, who was lying behind the river embankment, hurriedly climbed up secretly.

Sure enough, near the beach in the middle of the river, more than thirty meters away, thirty or forty devils had already jumped into the river again and were heading towards the west bank.

"Company commander be careful!"

At this moment, a warrior suddenly ripped off Tianbao who was lying on the river embankment.

Puff puff......

Almost at the same time, the trajectory of the heavy machine gun swept along the embankment, cutting off many of the weeds on the embankment.

"Company commander, we are stared at by little devils, and we can't even lift our heads."

The platoon leader looked at the riverbank that was being eaten back and forth by heavy machine guns, and said with an anxious expression.

Hearing this, Tianbao, who had just escaped the catastrophe, raised his head and was silent for a moment, and then gritted his teeth fiercely:

"Brothers, I don't believe that devils' grenadiers and heavy machine guns will greet their own people. After a while, everyone will listen to my order and put the devil within 20 meters before fighting! ”

"Uh-huh......."

"Grenade ready ......."

With Tianbao's order, the twenty-three surviving soldiers took out one of the border area buildings.

With the words closed, Tianbao put his ear to the river embankment, carefully listening to the sound of the river disturbing on the other side.

Rushing......

Suddenly, as the fire of grenadiers and heavy machine guns suddenly stopped, the sound of rushing water was replaced by the sound of feet stomping on mud.

"Delay by three digits ......."

With a low cheer, Tianbao pulled off the lead made in the border area in his hand. When the other soldiers heard this, they also pulled off the fuse.

After a three-second delay, with a secret cry from Tianbao, all the border buildings were thrown across the river embankment and rolled forward with a grunt.

Amid the exclamations of Japanese exclamations, the entire embankment shook with a deafening explosion. And before the mud rain from the explosion landed, Tianbao had already roared, and was the first to climb the river embankment with a box cannon.

Under the "cover" of their own flares, the Japanese troops of two and a half detachments did not see where the enemy was, so they first ate a round of inferior border grenades. Immediately, before most of the Japanese soldiers could get up from the ground, rows of bullets that came from close range also beckoned to the surviving Japanese soldiers.

In the event of an attack, the surviving devils, of course, refused to sit still. For a while, the river embankment was raining bullets, blood was splashing, and gray or yellow figures were constantly snorting and falling.

In the fierce battle, although the devils had the advantage in numbers and weapons at the beginning, they had no choice but to hug each other in front and back on the muddy river beach, which made it impossible to avoid it and at the same time made it impossible to fully exert its own firepower and manpower advantages. For a time, the Japanese army was caught in a dilemma.

In the war of attrition with amazing battle damage, seeing that the soldiers around him were fighting fewer and fewer, the surviving dozen devil soldiers could no longer withstand the rain of bullets, and they turned around and jumped into the river to flee for their lives.

When the Japanese squadron leader who was supervising the battle from a distance saw this scene, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered grenadiers and heavy machine guns to suppress the enemy on the opposite bank and cover the retreat of the surviving Japanese troops.

……

The failure to force the river crossing twice in a row made the originally arrogant Japanese army a little blinded.

Coupled with the unexpected death of the supreme commander, the morale of many Japanese troops also began to waver.

However, just as the Japanese squadron leader on the east bank of the river beach was about to give up the forced crossing operation, another Japanese squadron suddenly rushed over from the ambush position.

It turned out that as the sky gradually brightened, the Japanese army, which was originally used to monitor the enemy on the hillside, slowly discovered that the dirt road on the opposite hill had long since disappeared. After sending personnel to the river to repeatedly probe the army, the Japanese squadron responsible for monitoring the opposite hill directly gave up the meaningless surveillance mission and instead led people to the river bank to increase its personnel.

For a time, the number of Japanese troops on the east bank of the river beach doubled sharply to nearly 300 people.

At this moment, the Japanese army, which had already suspended the attack, ignited the flame of revenge again, preparing to cross the river to annihilate these bold Eighth Route Army.

Soon, after completing the mobilization preparations, the heavy shelling again kicked off the Japanese offensive.

This time, after receiving an increase in mortars and heavy machine guns, the Japanese army's suppressive firepower more than doubled in an instant.

A full five grenadiers and two Type 94 mortars directly shrouded the embankment on the west bank in the smoke of gunpowder.

In this way, after a full five minutes of fire preparation, a squad of Japanese troops in almost full formation, under the cover of two heavy machine guns, launched a surprise attack on the west bank in the drizzle.

Thundered......

Rushing......

Before the Japanese shelling was completely over, the drizzle that had just fallen in the sky turned into a torrential rain.

Soon, the raindrops of beans fell on the riverbank, on the cold corpses, and slowly converged into light red streams.

……

Call......

Awakened by the icy rain, Tempo pushed away the already dead soldier and struggled to get up from the mud.

"The devil is coming up, everyone is ready to fight, ...... quickly."

After shouting a few times, Tianbao, who grabbed his gun and was about to climb the river embankment, found that there was no one answering on the position.

Standing in the rain in a daze, letting the cold raindrops fall on his body, the silent Tianbao's eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist.

"Keep going...... Toast to ......! ”

Suddenly, the sound of shouting in Japanese was heard again from the beach in the middle of the river.

Hearing this, he vigorously waved away the mist in his eyes, and Tianbao, who had climbed the river embankment, squinted into the rain and found that the devil had crossed the river beach again and began to force here.

Silently throwing away the Hanyangzao in his hand, Tianbao walked down the slippery river embankment and came to the side of the fallen machine gunner.

Pushing away the body of the Heavy who had been torn off by the shell, he pulled out the Czech machine gun that was crushed under him.

Laboriously unloading the empty magazine, Tianbao finally found a spare magazine from the body.

Carefully wiping the muddy water from the magazine, Tempo inserted it into the machine gun, and then climbed the muddy riverbank with a Czech style.

Due to the heavy rain, the surface of the river quickly became misty at dawn, and the visibility near the river was reduced to thirty or forty meters.

Rushing...... Rushing......

Under the torrential rain, the rain on the edge of Tianbao's hat soon connected the city, like a beaded curtain on the crown of the prince's head.

Gradually, as more and more figures appeared in the mist on the surface of the river, Tianbao decisively pulled the gun and put his cheek on the butt.

Putting a ghost soldier in the crosshairs, he took a deep breath and pulled the trigger hard.

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......

As the muzzle of the gun began to jump wildly, the seventy-nine-two bullet shot into the mist with hatred, bringing a burst of red water.

With the sound of falling water, a dense stream of bullets flew out of the mist and hit the reddish-brown embankment.

Click......

As the sound of the empty warehouse sounded, Tianbao picked up the Hanyangzao beside him and continued to shoot at the mist on the river in the rain.

Soon, when the last bullet was fired, the sporadic firing on the West Bank ceased completely.

And due to the rain, the Japanese troops on the east bank were no longer able to see the targets on the west bank. Therefore, the devil mortars and grenadiers also stopped firing in order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops.

As if they had agreed, after the gunfire on the west bank had died down, the Japanese troops wading through the water also ceased fire.

Realizing that the last eight-way man on the other side had run out of bullets, the Japanese squad leader who almost hid his body in the water slowly stood up straight with a cruel smile.

"Rush up and catch it alive!"

Hearing the shouts of the commander, more than forty devils raised their bayonets and quickened their pace in the water.

After the resistance was gone, the attacking Japanese army advanced rapidly, and in a matter of moments landed on the land on the west bank.

Looking at the reddish-brown embankment in front of him and the corpses that were all over the place, the devils who came ashore, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to be the first to take the initiative to climb the low embankment.

Subconsciously, a few devil soldiers took out grenades, ready to throw a few over to explore the way.

At this moment, the last Japanese squad leader to go ashore shouted to stop the "cowardly" behavior of his subordinates.

"Bastard...... Put away your cowardice for me, and rush up and catch the enemy! Fast! ”
