Chapter 170: The Decisive Battle

Fujisawa's reprimand was interrupted by a fierce sound of gunfire, and when he turned his head to look over, the faces of Fujisawa and the artillery officer all changed.

In the distance, on the enemy's artillery positions, the flames of explosions, the flames of muzzle sprays flashed constantly, and fierce battles broke out.

What's going on? Has the enemy broken through the barrier and attacked here?

Fujisawa couldn't believe it, but soon roared to send troops to check for reinforcements.

In fact, it was not any unit that was so brave that it was able to break through the enemy's alert and hit directly at the artillery positions in the enemy's defense center, but the flexible use of camouflage surprise attacks.

The enemy's advance was blocked, and while attacking, of course, the left and right flanks should be arranged, as well as the guard of the rearguard.

With Liu Biao's big class, as well as part of the guerrillas, as well as the district squadrons and militia further behind, it is almost impossible to break through the enemy's defenses.

But the battlefield is chaotic, and there are still holes in the enemy's defenses to exploit. Zhao Tie and Liu Biao took a risky action, led by Liu Biao more than 30 people, disguised as devils and the Imperial Army, and drilled through the gap in the enemy's defensive line.

Although this small unit that had penetrated into the heart of the enemy was discovered by the enemy, the night was dim, the vision was not clear, and with a few Japanese shouts, the enemy did not see through it.

The more important reason is that the enemy did not expect such a way of playing, and he did not expect that in the fierce battle, there would be such a thing as a surprise attack in disguise.

Of course, Liu Biao and this small army acted with the determination to die. They knew that even if they could succeed in the attack, there would be enemies on all sides, and their danger could be imagined.

If you want to fight, you can hit the enemy's seven-inch vital point, Liu Biao wanted to finish off the enemy's headquarters, but he didn't find it. Afraid that the time would drag on and be exposed, Liu Biao led people straight to the artillery position, which was shining brightly and in full swing.

As soon as he approached the artillery position, he was discovered by the enemy who was in charge of guarding and protecting, and asked questions.

The surprise attack detachment shouted the few words of Japanese, and the footsteps did not stop, and they rushed forward. After another warning from the enemy, a sudden attack was launched.

In order to succeed in the attack, the team members all had short guns hidden on their bodies and more grenades wrapped around their waists.

Such a weapon configuration makes the continuous fire at close range very fierce when the squad breaks out. Coupled with the fact that there were not many enemies guarding the artillery positions, the detachment rushed and attacked on one side, and at once it entered it.

The devil artillery was caught off guard, and although they also had self-defense weapons, they were completely defenseless under the sudden attack and were heavily wounded.

Short guns swept and grenades were thrown, and in an instant, the devil's artillery position was strewn with corpses and flashes of fire.

Although Liu Biao and others wanted to capture a few artillery pieces, they also knew that this was unrealistic. I had to endure the distress, threw the grenade into the muzzle, and destroyed all the artillery before the surrounding enemy rushed to reinforce it.

At this time, the enemy is also attacking from the surrounding area. Liu Biao and the others didn't retreat, anyway, they were enemies behind them, so they simply rushed forward. The detachment rushed through the artillery positions where the explosions were constantly occurring and engaged the enemy in front of them.

The artillery suffered heavy losses, all the artillery was destroyed, and it was the heaviest blow to the enemy.

You must know that in addition to the fighting quality, the biggest gap between the anti-Japanese armed forces and the Japanese devils is heavy firepower. Light weapons are also devils who have the upper hand, but they are not very obvious.

Airplanes, artillery, and tanks were defects that the anti-Japanese armed forces could not make up for no matter what. It is precisely because of the overwhelming superiority of heavy weapons that the Japanese devils can win more with less and occupy most of China.

Because of this, the Japanese devils are very dependent on heavy weapons. Although it is not that there is no way to fight without heavy weapons, it is an indisputable fact that if this advantage is lost, the combat power of the devil will be greatly reduced.

Annoyed and angry, Fujisawa howled loudly to destroy this hateful enemy. But the facts are irrevocable, and without the cover of artillery bombardment, the enemy can only fight hard.

The machine guns of the "da-......da-da-da" came like a torrential rain with hail, and in the light of the fire, tree branches, stone chips, and clods of soil splashed everywhere, and the air was dusty, stirring up the smell of gunpowder, so that people could not even breathe

The 2nd Battalion of the Eighth Route Army, which arrived on run, joined the battle group, and in addition to consolidating the blocking position in the front, it also sent a company to charge fiercely from the flank, forcing the enemy to switch from attack to defense and adjust the deployment.

The enemy was cornered, with blockades in front and threats on the flanks, behind them guerrillas and district squadrons, as well as militias assembled in the villages.

Charging backwards, the enemy can of course defeat a large number of local armed forces with low combat effectiveness, but this will have no effect on getting out of the predicament at all, and can only sink deeper and deeper.

Therefore, if you can't break through the road ahead, what awaits the enemy can only be the fate of being surrounded and destroyed.

And the Eighth Route Army was able to block successfully, in addition to fighting desperately, Daogou also played a great role.

Ditches can be temporarily used as trenches by plugging them with earth at twists and turns, and the edges of ditches raised high can also be used as temporary bunkers.

Otherwise, on the bare avenue. Under the fire attack of the devil's advantage, it has long been unable to support it.

"The devil is going to fight hard." Company Commander Jiang had bandages on his head and squinted his eyes to look at the sunset on the horizon.

"I can definitely block it." Battalion Commander Li gritted his teeth and said, "Our main force will soon be able to arrive all, and the devils are also suffering from the enemy, and the forces that can be drawn out to attack are getting smaller and smaller." ”

"Yes, we will definitely be able to destroy all the enemies, and we must not let this group of devils escape!"

Company Commander Jiang glanced at the guard lying beside him, it was this little soldier who pounced on him just now, causing him to be only slightly injured under the mortar bombardment, but this little soldier paid the price with his life.

Only when you are in a position filled with gunsmoke and deafening gunfire, you struggle to squint your angry eyes and shoot fiercely at the enemy.

And beside you, lying are the remains of comrades-in-arms who have marched and fought with you, eaten and slept together, and laughed noisily, and their blood has not yet coagulated, and when your military uniform is soaked, your mood will be the same as that of Company Commander Jiang.

"Kill the chicken for the ......" A devil officer stared at the reddened eyes and pointed at the knife, but the howl suddenly stopped and fell to the ground like a log.

The sound of gunfire was mixed, the night was dark, and Shen Chen's cold gun sniping had more opportunities to be used.

As soon as the devil officer fell, the attack that was about to be launched was stalled. When another devil officer jumped out to take over, he had just pulled out his command knife when a bullet crept in and shattered his head.

In addition to the regular army's roundabout outflanking troops, the guerrillas also sent small groups to harass the enemy's forces and create a threat and intimidation of the enemy's encirclement.

"Brothers of the puppet army, we have surrounded you through the storm, you have no way to retreat, don't be cannon fodder for devils."

Political workers also began to use loudspeakers to conduct propaganda warfare, "If you raise your hands to surrender, we will not search your body, we will not kill prisoners, you can stay if you want, and you can leave if you want." There are only a few devils left, and the four of you can kill them by fighting one. Straighten your back, be a Chinese gentleman, don't be a traitor, and throw your life away in this wilderness in vain. Think about your relatives at home, they are all waiting for you to go back......"

In normal times, Fujisawa would not have taken these psychological warfare propaganda and agitation seriously, but the current change in the situation has forced him to take it seriously.

The Imperial Army's will to fight is very weak, which is related to their hasty formation time and lack of training, but their biggest weakness is that they do not have a strong and unshakable faith.

In order to eat, or there are many people who want to be opportunistic and fish in troubled waters, such troops can increase their momentum when they are successful, and they will also collapse and disturb the morale of the army when they fail.

Fujisawa had a sharp gaze and glanced at the several Imperial Allied Army officers in front of him, looking at their faces.

Several officers of the Imperial Association Army were not stupid, and although they had all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, they immediately straightened their chests, put away their horror, and pretended to be brave and impassioned.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Fujisawa said majestically: "Although the attack has suffered a small setback, we must not lose confidence, the enemy is just bullying our army to be tired, but in fact he does not dare to confront our army head-on." I'm going to avoid the front, break through on the flanks, and call for friendly support. If you attack from both sides, you will be able to crush the enemy. ”

After a pause, Fujisawa glanced around and continued: "Each of them will go back to organize their troops and relaunch the attack in half an hour." ”

It's not that Fujisawa doesn't want to scatter the imperial soldiers in his hands and mix them with the Imperial Allied Army, guarding against and suppressing possible movements of the Imperial Allied Army.

But now, he has less than a squadron of combatable soldiers, which is his most reliable force, and those Imperial Allied forces can only be maintained by those Japanese advisers.

Time is very precious for both sides, and night is a good time for the Eighth Route Army to kill the enemy, if the battle continues into daytime, who knows if the other Japanese army will come to help.

Just when the Japanese army and the Imperial Allied Army were making adjustments, the main force finally arrived, and in terms of strength, it was already in a clear advantage.

In order to reduce casualties and create chaos, the guerrillas suddenly lit a fire in the upwind place, and the dead branches and leaves mixed with chili peppers emitted billowing smoke, and by the wind, the smoke-filled choking "poisonous gas" quickly flooded the positions of the enemy's rearguard.

The Imperial Allied Army was not equipped with gas masks and could not see the situation on the other side, which caused some commotion in their defensive positions!

The devil advisor coughed loudly while reflexively directing the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army to shoot blindly.

The harassment attack from the back was unexpected by Fujisawa, which was based on his judgment, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was blocking the road in front, and the combat effectiveness was the strongest, and the back was just the vassal armament of the Eighth Route Army, even if there were a small number of regular troops, it was not enough to shake the defense line of the Imperial Army.

But in the telescope, the position of the Imperial Allied Army, which served as the rearguard, was filled with smoke, and the sound of gunfire and explosions was non-stop.

Before he could react, the Eighth Route Army, which had returned to the flank, also launched an attack, and the troops in front also began to help, and the shouts and guns from all directions became one, and Fujisawa didn't know where to smash the main force in his hand for a while.

In less than half an hour, the Imperial Allied Army on the left flank, under the onslaught of the Eighth Route Army, first lost the courage to fight, and an irrepressible rout occurred.

Several Japanese advisers desperately shouted and blocked to no avail, the daring Imperial Allied soldiers began to shoot at them, and more Imperial Allied soldiers began to raise their hands in surrender.

Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Allied Army on the right flank could not resist, and a gap was opened by the Eighth Route Army, which made the Eighth Route Army attack the front line and carry out a split attack.

The frontal battle was even more intense, and although the devil fought stubbornly, he was also beaten back step by step, retreating into a village that was already in ruins.

"Your Excellency, the frontal enemy is attacking fiercely, Captain Sugimoto is killed, and I ask for reinforcements."

"Your Excellency, the right-wing Imperial Alliance army is showing signs of collapse, and I ask for reinforcements."

"Your Excellency, the herb squad has temporarily blocked the attack of the enemy on the left flank, and is engaged in a fierce battle."

"Your Excellency, the Yamaki squad reinforced the rear road and blocked the enemy's attack."

…………………

Fujisawa had only more than twenty guards and a few staff officers left on his side, and there were no more soldiers to send.

The troops sent in batches were consumed quickly, and the Imperial Allied Army, which had a weak will to fight, was not a help at this time, but a burden, and the leaky defense line made Fujisawa feel that he could not make up for it.

The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Imperial Allied Army, which had a weak will to fight, was the first to waver, and although the Japanese devils fought desperately, they could no longer save the fragmented defense line.

Since the beginning of the sweep, the devils and the Imperial Alliance army have been constantly harassed, and the mines and cold guns have hardly stopped. There were also several battles around the village, which also cost the enemy some casualties.

So, the enemy is already tired, and the strength is also depleted. Now, having lost its heavy weapons, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, and it is impossible to give full play to the fighting qualities of the devils in a night battle with the Eighth Route Army.

The two sides are now intertwined, mixing and fighting together, and the number of people has become an advantage, and Fujisawa has no tricks to win.

Well, it's still cooler to get a headshot, and it's as enjoyable as smashing a watermelon with an iron rod. Seeing the devil machine gunner's head turn into a rotten watermelon, Shen Chen couldn't help but show a cold smile.

That's right, Shen Chen has already stared at this most valuable target, a Type 92 heavy machine gun of the devil.

Due to the relatively high gun mount of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, the shooter had a large exposed area, and became the target of his all-out sniping.

"Smack!" On the battlefield where the gunfire was dense and the explosions were deafening, Shen Chen's shooting was basically negligible.

However, the devil shooter who was holding the "crutching handle" of the Type 92 heavy machine gun with the "eight" layout could not ignore the flying bullets, and his body shook suddenly, and he lay on his head on the machine gun.

The co-shooter pulled away his companion's corpse and picked up his machine gun again, and before he could shoot, another insidious bullet flew over and shot a splash of blood in his chest.

After a while, five devils had fallen next to the Type 92 heavy machine gun, and the effectiveness of the heavy machine gun, which was originally responsible for suppressing firepower, was greatly reduced.
