Chapter 161: Bitter Battle

What is called a grenade bomb, this is called a grenade bomb. It has been proven that no matter how old the weapon is, as long as the tactical opponent has a certain extent, it can also play a key role. Don't look at it, it can even be said that the things of the ancestors are old, but they can still exert their residual heat at critical times. The difference between beating a rabbit and hitting a two-legged beast is not very large.

Of course, Li Ziyuan's use of these earthen guns and earthen cannons as lethal weapons is not without a little price. In addition to completely consuming the black fire 'medicine' he had in hand, those warriors who 'operated' the weapons of these ancestors were also sealed one by one by wooden cannons and poles that were not very good, and the black smoke produced when they 'fired' became like the Lord of the Stove.

Moreover, the positions of these weapons must be abandoned after they can only be used once. Even if the 'shooting' position is built in concealment and ingenuity, the black fire 'powder' is not a smokeless fire 'powder', and the large amount of smoke produced during the explosion can even be found hidden here. With the reaction speed of the Japanese army, the shells would have smashed in a few minutes.

The most important thing is that in addition to those wooden cannons that are used once in themselves, the remaining three 'gates' of Shenwei General Cannons are themselves at the ancestral level. In addition, the original smelting process itself was not good, and how many years of aging under the wind and rain. Li Ziyuan dared to use them at the risk of exploding, which was a big risk in itself.

After the first cannon was fired, these three 'doors' that had aged very powerful ancestor cannons were basically scrapped, and they didn't blow up on the spot, which already gave Li Ziyuan a lot of face. At the same time, there are also those large lifting rods of the same ancestor level, which have basically become a 'sexual' weapon when they are loaded with a large number of 'medicines' beyond the standard.

In fact, even if the three 'gate' ancestor-level Shenwei General Cannons were not scrapped, even if there was still a surplus of black fire 'medicine' that was used as 'shooting' and 'medicine', Li Ziyuan would not continue to use them. Because these three 'gates' have thousands of pounds of artillery, they are too cumbersome for Li Ziyuan and his subordinate soldiers.

At the beginning, in order to 'get' these three 'doors' old guys to the designated position, Li Ziyuan also used a rope to make a simple lever, and under the condition of mobilizing some fellow villagers, it took a lot of effort to 'get' these 'doors' guns up the mountain, and the security was secured to a hidden position.

And under the current situation where the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in firepower, the old guy who carries these three 'gates' weighing thousands of pounds, moving on the battlefield is tantamount to looking for his own death. So these guys are a 'sex' weapon, and after a shot, these bulky guys are simply abandoned.

Although the weapons of these ancestors have been scrapped with one shot, the power of this cannon is enough. When He Huizhang rushed out with more than 20 soldiers, he 'interspersed' towards Li Ziyuan's left flank, and the Japanese puppet army that tried to trap Li Ziyuan's troops on the hill was no longer able to resist.

After collecting the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese puppet army as quickly as possible, and putting the wounded Japanese soldiers covered in iron sand on the ground, He Huizhang followed Li Ziyuan's pre-war deployment and took more than 20 soldiers around him to carefully use the cover of the terrain to make a detour to the Japanese artillery position and heavy machine gun position at the bottom of the mountain.

Although the location of the trap set by Li Ziyuan for the Japanese puppet army on the left flank was a 'shooting' dead end for the Japanese artillery and observation posts. But the abnormal movement here was immediately discovered by the Japanese army behind. In addition to the large amount of smoke produced by the black fire 'powder' as a "shot" and "medicine", the Japanese army, which had been closely observing the movement of the left flank of the entire battlefield, also discovered the abnormality from the sound here at the first time.

And Kencho Okazaki, who was also not slow to react, after receiving the report from the observation post. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately 'drawn' half a squad from his side, and carried a 'strong' light machine gun to reinforce this side. Whether the left wing can make a breakthrough or not is the key to this battle in Okazaki's view. Now that he has finally grasped this Tubalu, he will naturally not give up.

The more than 20 fighters brought by He Huizhang happened to encounter the two rifle groups of the Japanese army. The two sides looked at each other, and started fighting without saying a word. The strength of the two sides is almost the same, but in terms of firepower, he has just captured a large number of weapons and ammunition, and occupies a clear advantage.

Although it was a hard-fought encounter in the face of all Japanese troops, He Huizhang did not flinch at all. The three captured light machine guns were all erected. In addition, dozens of Jinzao grenades collected from the puppet army were also used. And the grenadier in his hand also knocked out the Japanese light machine gun at the first time.

But in the face of the absolute firepower superiority in the hands of He Huizhang, although the only supporting firepower was lost. The Japanese troops in front of them fearlessly used the location to 'shoot' at more than 20 soldiers led by He Huizhang, and they were entangled to the death. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was extremely strong, and although the firepower was superior, it was difficult for He Huizhang to completely solve this Japanese army for a while.

The Japanese army's accurate and extremely fast rifle 'shooting' and the fact that he did not give way to fighting to the death had a firepower advantage, but he was unable to make decisive 'sex' progress in the battle. Although the grenadier in his hand was basically a miss, he could not solve the battle for a long time.

It's just that although it is difficult to solve this Japanese army for a while, the more than 20 soldiers brought by He Huizhang are stuck on Li Ziyuan's left flank to ensure Li Ziyuan's safety behind the frontal battle. It's just that He Huizhang, who was born as a veteran, knows that this situation is not good for him.

There are follow-up troops in the depth of the Japanese army, and once the Japanese army continues to invest troops, it will be difficult for this little soldier around him to hold out for too long. Needless to say, in such a narrow combat area, if the Japanese army brought in a 'strong' heavy machine gun, it would suppress itself to the death. But the resistance of the Japanese army in front of him was extremely stubborn, so He Huizhang had no choice for a while.

Compared with He Huizhang, Li Ziyuan, who had to deal with the Japanese puppet army on both sides on the mountain, felt more pressure. The 'rioting' tactics adopted before were all kinds of calculations adopted by themselves. But when it came to the stage of hard fighting, the impact of the Japanese army still made him feel that it was quite difficult to fight.

Although the puppet army attacking head-on was not active, although He Huizhang got rid of the Japanese puppet army on the left flank and ensured the safety of his left flank. However, the Japanese troops on the right flank, under the cover of artillery fire and two 'strong' heavy machine guns, launched a continuous assault, which brought considerable threat to the right flank.

But despite the hard fight, Li Ziyuan also knew that he had to persevere in this battle. Since its formation, the unit has not fought a single real tough battle. The problem of tactics is a question of tactics, and whether or not the troops can persist in such a tough battle is the real test of their own troops.

After more than two hours of hard fighting, under the attack of the superior forces and firepower of the Japanese army, Li Ziyuan's situation became more and more difficult. Especially on the right flank, under the cover of superior firepower, the Japanese army launched continuous assaults, which made Qian Defu somewhat hurried. The number of casualties on the battlefield is also constantly increasing.

Raising his hand to put on the gun holster, Li Ziyuan knocked down a Japanese soldier. looked at the right flank, which was somewhat tight under the suppression of the main firepower concentrated by the Japanese army, and then looked at the puppet army that was still attacking under the supervision of the Japanese bayonets.

Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth and ordered the dozens of soldiers under his command to all load their bayonets, pull all the last grenades, and carry a captured Type 38 rifle. At present, the situation of the right flank position is already a little precarious, and he is firmly attracted here by the puppet army on the front.

If the Japanese puppet army in front of it is not defeated first, the entire position is in danger of being broken through by the Japanese army on all fronts. In this case, it is better to fight him. First get rid of the puppet army on the front, and then directly reinforce the right flank from the flank. Otherwise, if the current situation continues to develop, the right wing can hold out for half an hour, which is already the limit.

When the puppet army in front of him, under the pressure of the Japanese bayonets behind him, launched another attack. Li Ziyuan ordered a ceasefire to all of them, waited until the Japanese puppet army on the front charged to a distance of thirty meters, and directly greeted them with grenades and launched a counterattack. But don't fall in love with the Japanese puppet army in front of you, and immediately attack the flank of the Japanese army on the right flank after defeating the Japanese puppet army in front of you.

Recently, Li Ziyuan, who had put all his heart into training, had not worked in vain, and his tactical intentions were implemented in the shortest possible time. The Japanese puppet army, which had cautiously launched a new offensive on the front, couldn't help but be ecstatic when they found that when they charged again, there was no return fire in the direction of their attack.

These puppet troops, who thought that the opponent had consumed all the ammunition and 'medicine', acted together with the Japanese army behind them, who had been supervising the battle before, from cautious and rapid to a bold charge while shouting to catch alive. And the light machine guns covering behind them also stopped firing, and rushed up with the Japanese puppet troops who followed the charge.

Looking at the Japanese puppet army in front of him from a distance of 100 meters to 50 meters, Li Ziyuan was very calm. On that day, the puppet army rushed to a distance of 40 meters, and even the snot and beard under the nose of the Japanese army could be clearly seen, and Li Ziyuan ordered to pull out the safety and knock. It was only when the Japanese puppet army took advantage of these few seconds of pause that they rushed to a distance of thirty meters before Li Ziyuan ordered to drop the bomb.

In fact, Li Ziyuan's approach was quite risky, and the Jinzao grenade in his hand was either given to He Huizhang or used as a bait mine. The grenades in his hand are basically Japanese-made 97-style grenades. This kind of unplugging the safety impact and pausing for a few seconds is prone to early explosion.

And with the power of this Type 97 grenade, it is easy to be injured by mistake at a distance of 30 meters. Li Ziyuan did this, although he also knew that it was very risky, but there was no way to do it. He had to maximize the damage to the Japanese puppet army in front of him in the shortest possible time, so as to effectively reduce the casualties of 'hand-to-hand' combat.

But the effect of Li Ziyuan's adventure is also obvious. When more than 30 Japanese-made Type 97 grenades were thrown out of the trenches and exploded in the air on the heads of the Japanese puppet army, the scattered shrapnel would find abnormalities, but the Japanese puppet army, which had no time to dodge, blew up a large area.

The explosion of more than 30 grenades had not yet fallen, and Li Ziyuan was the first to jump out of the trench with a fast and slow machine in one hand and a 38 cover in the other. After flattening the fast and slow machine in his hand, he swept away a magazine towards the Japanese puppet army that was still standing. Li Ziyuan took the soldiers behind him, who had also fired a platoon gun, and held a bayonet to meet the Japanese puppet army who was a little dazed by the successive blows in front of him.

Facing Li Ziyuan and his subordinates who jumped out of the trench, they were dizzy by the rain of grenades, and the most important thing was to rush up, and the puppet army that suffered extremely heavy casualties was 'blinded' at that time. After adding Li Ziyuan and the soldiers around him, he made up for another platoon gun, and the puppet army in front of him was immediately defeated.
