Chapter 726: Shinichi Hase
"Bang!"
Just when Zhang Dahai was still thinking about countermeasures, a gunshot suddenly rang out in front of him.
This gunshot was the trigger for the battle, and it was followed by several more gunshots, which became more and more intense as time went on.
In less than half a minute, the entire jungle was already resounding.
The sound of this gunfire came from almost everywhere, there were officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment, and more of them were little devils.
Obviously, the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment has already fought with the little devils, and it will be a large-scale all-out war without the slightest sign of temptation.
Zhang Dahai frowned, originally he still wanted to sneak attack the little devil, at least to catch the little devil off guard at the beginning of the battle.
But now that he knew that his plan had failed, and although he had anger in his heart, he could only suppress this anger in his heart even if the war had started, and then began to command and join the battle.
This is a jungle with a radius of several hundred meters, and to the west of the jungle, that is, to the upper reaches of the Huai River, is a steep cliff twenty or thirty meters high.
The east side of the jungle, that is, in the direction of the lower reaches of the Huai River, is a quagmire and swamp, and if the little devils break through from them, not only will they not use the terrain as a cover, but they will become a live target for the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment because they are stuck in the quagmire.
Therefore, this jungle became their only way.
The jungle was low in the south and high in the north, and the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment were guarding the north, while the little devils were advancing from the south.
The jungle is full of thorns, and there are some shrubs and dwarf trees growing among them.
Although these thorns blocked the path of the little devils, making it impossible for them to make their way through, the bushes and dwarf trees also served as a springboard and shelter for them to rush forward.
Due to the presence of these thorns, shrubs and dwarf trees, even if the officers and men of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment occupied a favorable position, it was impossible to completely stop the little devils.
These little devils used those bushes and dwarf trees as a springboard, and while firing, they rushed towards the position of the officers and men of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment.
Even though it was almost difficult for the little devils to hit them because they were hiding behind cover, as these little devils got closer and closer to them, their hearts began to slowly become impatient, and they unconsciously oozed fine cold sweat on their foreheads.
Because the little devils can't hit them, they can't hit the little devils with precision.
In order to put enough pressure on the little devils and block them on the way forward, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment directly increased their firepower to the maximum at once.
Among them, the dozen or so light machine guns were also swept towards the little devils who swarmed towards them at the first time.
"Da Da Da!"
"Da Da Da-"
In an instant, the frequency of gunfire reached its peak.
These bullets were like raindrops, densely shooting in the direction where the little devil was.
Unfortunately, most of the bullets hit the bushes and trees, and countless branches were directly broken, falling all over the ground with stumps and leaves.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!"
Attacking from this jungle, Shinichi Hase, the captain of the first brigade of the 6th Wing of the little devils, also made a decision after careful consideration, he had already expected and detected that the coalition side would inevitably set up an ambush here, but what he didn't expect was that the firepower of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment was so strong.
As they opened fire with all their might, the hundreds of little devils of the 6th Wing could not move an inch for a while, so they could only hide behind the bushes and trees, relying on them as cover to fire at the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment.
However, alas, due to the dense thorns and bushes, and the fact that the officers and men of the 303rd Regiment were all hiding behind suitable cover, it was almost impossible for these little devils to hit them.
Many bullets had already been intercepted by thorns and bushes along the way before they even reached the hiding place of the officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment.
The bullets rattled against bushes, leaves, and thorns.
The battle looked fierce, but in reality the losses on both sides were not large, and could even be described as small.
The officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment defended not in a straight line, but in a semicircular arc.
When the little devils were still far away, the defensive formation of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment did not show much power.
But as the little devil slowly approached, the power of this defensive formation was slowly reflected.
Especially the little devils who rushed to the front, even with the help of the cover of the bushes, they were able to dodge the attacks of the officers and soldiers of the 303rd Regiment in front of them, but they could not resist the attacks of the officers and soldiers of the 303rd Regiment on the left and right.
Slowly, the speed of the little devil's forward rush is getting slower and slower, and in the end it has even completely stopped, or even retreated.
After launching several charges in a row, leaving behind forty or fifty corpses, these little devils finally saw the power of this defensive line arranged by Zhang Dahai.
As a result, these little devils did not dare to continue to charge for a while, but hid in a slightly further position, and started a positional battle with the officers and soldiers of the 303rd Regiment, shooting at each other.
However, at this moment, the firepower of the officers and men of the first battalion of the 303rd Regiment has gradually weakened a lot, not that the bullets are about to run out, but they really can't hit the little devils, and then rashly shooting, it is tantamount to wasting bullets.
"Yo Xi!"
Seeing this, the corners of Hase's mouth showed a cold look, because the reason why Wing Commander Matsuyama Yoshimasa gave him full command of the battlefield was that he could not only command the little devils of the first brigade under him, but also the little devils with the second and third brigades.
Immediately, he shouted at the little devils of the Sixth Wing: "The enemy's has not many bullets, ours, kill the chicken!" ”
Didn't Shinichi Hase's 1st Battalion of the 303rd Regiment reduce its firepower in order to save bullets? The answer is yes, of course!
And he still gave such an order, also with his own plans.
After the battle of Mingguang, they were in the sixth wing; No, to be more precise, almost all of their 5th brigade was psychologically shadowed by the Chinese army, and they have not recovered until now.
The first battle of Mingguang not only caused heavy losses to their Fifth Brigade, but also subverted their perception of the Chinese army, so that their morale plummeted, and they have not recovered until now.
Just like now, just after encountering a little setback, these little devils are a little hesitant and dare not continue to charge, which is almost impossible if it were changed to before.
And Shinichi Hase's doing this was actually to boost the morale of the little devil officers and soldiers of the Sixth Wing.
Finally, he did it, even if these little devils were psychologically shadowed by the Chinese army, they still had the memory of Japan's **** thought in their bones.
After hearing the words of Commander Shinichi Hase, these little devils screamed and rushed forward.
The usual madness is on the faces of these little devils again......
