Chapter 1059: Supporting Artillery Positions
"Brothers, throw a grenade at Lao Tzu and blow up this group of little devils!"
The reason why Ma Zhu gave the order to fire was because his side occupied the commanding heights, so after finding that the shooting did not work on the little devil, he decisively gave the combat order to throw a grenade.
Under his orders, grenades and grenades that had been pulled off flew through the hands of the brothers of the reconnaissance company towards the location of the little devil.
There were several incendiary bombs.
"Boom!"
"Boom, boom—"
In short-range attacks, grenades play a strategic role that cannot be replaced by guns.
The trajectory of the bullet is a straight line, and when it becomes a parabola, it is already equivalent to losing its lethality.
This is not the case with grenades and grenades, which throw different parabolas depending on the force and angle of the user's throw.
It can fly directly over enemy cover and land at their feet or beside them, dealing damage.
Sure enough, the little devils didn't expect the reconnaissance company to have this hand, and by the time they finally realized that the situation was wrong, nearly half of the little devils were already lying on the ground.
Some were directly killed by grenades, while others were hit by broken shrapnel.
The little devil officers and soldiers who did not die in battle were also more or less wounded.
When they realized that the situation was wrong, these little devil officers and soldiers thought about retreating.
It's a pity that the incendiary bombs have already ignited the surrounding trees and thorns, so that these little devil officers and soldiers are completely exposed to the fire, and they have become living targets and dead souls in the hands of the brothers of the reconnaissance company.
There were also some unlucky little devils, although they were not destroyed by grenades and bullets, but they were ignited by incendiary bombs, turned into a burning man, and howled and struggled in the woods.
It's a pity that these incendiary bombs are all made by their Great Japanese Empire, and the quality is called a bar, and the adhesion of its burning particles is extremely strong.
Almost as long as it is contaminated with combustibles, as long as these combustion particles are not burned, the fire will not be extinguished.
"Resolve the battle quickly!"
"Yes!"
Under the double blow of grenades and incendiary bombs, these little devils have been crushed and can no longer form a trace of combat effectiveness.
In just one minute, these little devils have been completely annihilated.
"Company commander, what should I do with this fire?"
Ma Pole frowned and groaned, as if he was lost in thought.
He found that in order to annihilate these little devil officers and soldiers as soon as possible, he seemed to have made a relatively wrong decision, that is, to use incendiary bombs.
Now the forest has been flooded by fire, and the fire is even getting worse.
The trees in this mountain forest are extremely dense, and if the fire is not extinguished in time, it is very likely that all the mountains and forests around Pingma Township will be burned to the ground.
It's just that now that the fire has taken shape, and there are only about 30 people in the reconnaissance company, it is not a simple matter to extinguish the fire here.
And there is also the most critical question, that is, will the little devils give them time to extinguish the fire?
I can't say that they will take advantage of the fire to rob.
After thinking about it for a while, Ma Pole finally gritted his teeth and ordered to the group of subordinates: "Go!" ”
The light of the fire on the mountain immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including the new regiment and battalion, as well as the Miyamoto brigade.
But after the initial stunned, everyone chose to ignore it.
Because compared to the fire in the mountains, this is the most important thing in war.
……
Artillery positions.
At the beginning of the battle, Taketaro Miyamoto sent two squads of little devil officers and soldiers from the station, and ordered the sentry on the mountain to assist from the side.
All of them combined, there were more than three hundred little devils who launched an attack on the artillery positions.
At the beginning, Yang Ronghui, chief of staff of the new regiment, led the brothers of the first battalion and three companies to block it, and these little devils could not pose a threat to the artillery position.
However, as Yang Ronghui led the brothers of the third company to rush to block the Changtian squadron that rushed over from the direction of Pingkai to support, without them as a barrier, the situation of the artillery position suddenly became precarious.
Following the orders of Hu Yunfei, commander of the first battalion, and Yang Ronghui, chief of staff, and under the hardships of the platoon commander of the artillery company, the brothers of the artillery company above the position threw the shells down the hill and detonated them as simple bombs while speeding up the bombardment.
Then he led the artillery brothers to retreat to the rear.
Twenty minutes later, Ma Zhu led the brothers of the reconnaissance company to the artillery position.
It's just that in addition to the cannon racks all over the ground, there is still half a figure here.
Even a lot of gun racks have been blown over and destroyed.
How smart the hemp pole is, otherwise he would not have been appointed as the company commander of the reconnaissance company by Yang Yun, the regimental seat.
You must know that the strategic role of its reconnaissance company is often even more important than that of the first battalion, the main combat battalion.
With a glance of his eyes, he was sure that the brothers of the artillery company had been evacuated, and these gun racks must have been made like this by angry little devils because they had not had time to take them away.
As for the chief of staff and the third company, according to the time calculation, since Yang Yun did not order the retreat.
There was only one possibility, and that was for them to block the little devil reinforcements in the direction of Pinkai.
When he climbed to the commanding heights, he soon found that in the opposite direction from the township, there were gunfire flames, bright lights from explosives explosions, and even the sound of firefights.
Ma Zhu determined that the brothers of the artillery company must have fled over there, which was to attract the fire of the little devils with their lives and create extra time for the brothers of the first battalion.
"Brothers, come with me!"
Fearing that the brothers of the artillery company would lose, Ma Pole waved his hand and led the brothers of the reconnaissance company to rush towards the location of the brothers of the artillery company.
The reconnaissance company's march was extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, the artillery company's brothers were engaged in the battle with the little devils.
Of course, this is also the reason why the brothers of the artillery company fought and retreated in order to deliberately drag these little devils.
looked at the military uniforms on his side, and after a little thought, Ma Zhu made a decision in his heart, he did not bypass the little devils, but ran directly towards these little devils.
While running, he shouted loudly in Japanese: "Yours are really a bunch of stupid pigs, don't you know that this is the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" ”
Hearing loud shouts behind them, some of the little devil officers and soldiers stopped pursuing, and then turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
A little devil even turned on the flashlight and shone it at the hemp pole.
The wild is very dark, and after a series of battles, Ma Zhu's face has long been covered with dirt, and these little devils can't see the troublesome appearance at all.
In their field of vision, these little devil officers and soldiers could only see an embarrassed Second Lieutenant Officer of the Imperial Japanese Army leading dozens of Imperial Japanese troops, who were rushing towards this side.
As for the roar before, they didn't hear it too clearly.
