Chapter 727: Jungle Battle
With the order of Shinichi Hase, the captain of the 1st Brigade of the 6th Wing of the Little Devils, more than 200 little devils immediately formed a straggler formation with steel guns in their hands, and relied on the dwarf trees and shrubs in the jungle as shelters and springboards, and rushed straight to the position guarded by the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment in the north.
While charging, these little devils also pulled the trigger from time to time and fired forward, in order to suppress the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment hiding behind the bunkers.
In order to narrow down their goals as much as possible, these experienced little devils try to bend down and lower their center of gravity.
"Hit!"
Seeing that the little devil continued to rush towards his side, Zhang Dahai, the commander of the first battalion of the 3030th Regiment, gave an order and gave the order to fire again.
With his order, he was the first to fire, firing the first shot of the counterattack.
I only heard a muffled bang, and a bullet burst out from the muzzle of the formal rifle in Zhang Dahai's hand at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and went straight to the door of a little devil.
The little devil seemed to have sensed the danger, but by the time he turned sideways to dodge, it was too late.
The 7.92mm pointed Mauser rifle bullet fired from the official rifle in Zhang Dahai's hand directly hit the left eye of the little devil, and the eyeball of the little devil was exploded in an instant, and the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet directly shattered the brain of the little devil, and then lifted the back of his head away, and in an instant, blood burst out of the back of his head and left eye along with the brain, splashing several bushes and leaves around him.
And this little devil only let out a scream of "ah" until he died, and his whole body fell straight on his back, crushing a bush of thorns and gurgling.
The officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment looked at these little devils rushing towards them, and they couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts for a long time.
"Bang!"
"Bang bang bang-"
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da-"
In an instant, the gunfire rang out again, noisy and chaotic.
Although most of the bullets of the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment hit the bushes and low trees, some of the bullets still hit the little devils who rushed towards them.
After dozens of casualties, these little devils were forced by the strong firepower of the officers and men of the 303rd Regiment to finally stop their forward rush and began to rely on bushes and dwarf trees as cover to launch positional warfare against the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment.
It has to be said that the little devil's marksmanship is compared to its ordinary country. For officers and soldiers, it is almost a heaven and an underground.
Even compared to the officers and soldiers of the 74th Army, it was much better, and the 303rd Regiment was almost completely wiped out as early as the 518th Heights, and the officers and soldiers at this moment were re-recruited and replenished later.
Although their fighting spirit is not much better than that of the officers and soldiers of the old 303rd Regiment before, their combat effectiveness and marksmanship are even worse than those of the old 303rd Regiment before them.
Naturally, at this moment, the combat effectiveness and marksmanship of the officers and men of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment are almost worse than these little devils of the sixth wing.
Despite the fact that they occupied favorable terrain, there were certain casualties.
Seeing that his brothers were constantly killed or injured in the hands of the little devil one after another, Zhang Dahai's brows couldn't help but frown together, although the little devil's attack was once again beaten back by them.
But because they had to help the wounded brothers deal with their injuries, the strength of their battalion was greatly reduced at the moment.
According to Zhang Dahai's estimate, they can withstand the last round of the little devil's charge at most, and if there is a second time, they will definitely not be able to hold it.
Zhang Dahai is a little puzzled that these little devils seem to be more life-sparing than the little devils they have met before, in other words, these little devils they meet today are more afraid of death.
If according to the urine nature of the little devils in the past, if the whole army is dispatched in one go, with the strength of their battalion, I am afraid that they will not even be able to deal with the first wave of attacks of the little devils.
Today, these little devils are sparing their lives, which can be described as a mixed pros and cons for them.
The good thing is that they can delay a little longer, but the bad thing is that these little devils are sparing their lives, and even if they launch two charges in quick succession, their casualties will only be as good as a hundred.
This casualty has hardly had much impact on these little devils in front of them.
And these little devils can be described as extremely insidious, they only sent a small number of officers and soldiers to break through, and most of the rest of the officers and soldiers hid in the rear, with the help of accurate marksmanship to snipe the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 303rd regiment.
Although the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment were all hiding behind bunkers, there were still many casualties in the face of the cold guns fired from behind the little devils.
In less than half an hour, more than 20 officers and men died tragically under the guns of the little devils, and nearly 30 officers and men were injured under the guns of the little devils, and most of them were seriously injured.
These officers and soldiers were treated for their injuries and a part of the troops were allocated.
Coupled with the consumption of ammunition and the reasons for the defects in the formation caused by casualties, the strength of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment at this moment can be said to be less than half of the initial strength.
If he continued to fight, Zhang Dahai knew that he was afraid that their battalion would be wiped out today, but for the sake of the mission, he had no choice but to continue fighting!
Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil did not continue to charge, Zhang Dahai began to run around the position and redeploy the defensive mission.
The picture pulls back to the little devil's side.
Looking at the subordinates who retreated, Shinichi Hase, the captain of the First Brigade of the Sixth Wing, just had a cold face and a slight frown, but he didn't open his mouth to reprimand them.
Because he knew that even if these men continued to charge forward, at most they would destroy some more enemy troops, and their results would be the total annihilation.
In addition, the most important point is that His Excellency Matsuyama Yoshimasa, the Wing Commander, has just delivered an order to them, saying that if they can break through the enemy's defense line and kill the enemy's rear, it is good to kill the enemy's rear, but the most important thing is to preserve their own strength as much as possible.
And this is the real reason why Shinichi Hase's never ordered the little devils of the Sixth Wing to charge the whole army.
Seeing that they were not reprimanded by the battlefield commander, these little devils who had retreated from the battlefield in front of them all breathed a sigh of relief, and then found a safe place to recuperate.
The injured little devils were helped to a safe position to treat their wounds.
Shinichi Hasei squatted behind a bush, staring at the position of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment deep in the jungle in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light burst out from his two narrow eyes, as if he was thinking about a strategy to break the enemy......
