Chapter 362: The puppet army fled
"Boom!"
Dozens of orange-red shells pierced the dark night sky and smashed hard at the back of the charging team, and a large number of Japanese soldiers hiding behind the puppet army were thrown into the sky by bombs, only to be reduced to broken limbs and flesh after falling.

The Japanese army did not expect the reaction of the Eighth Route Army to focus on itself so quickly, and the Japanese troops in the charging posture were completely exposed to the firing range of the artillery, and were frantically harvested by the shells.
"Boom!"
A cannonball fell in the middle of a dozen devils, giving the devils a center flowering, these dozen devils suddenly scattered with a bang, and frantically pounced on the periphery, but no matter how fast their movements were, they couldn't explode faster than the shells, and in the thunderous explosion, these dozen devils were either killed or injured, and completely lost their combat effectiveness.
"Did Amaterasu give up on our imperial army? Why is the artillery fire of the Chinese so powerful? "The Japanese soldiers were almost losing faith under the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and without the order to retreat, they could only frantically dodge around, but they could not retreat, so stupidly under the bombardment of artillery fire, one by one, groups were torn apart by shells.
Since these Japanese soldiers entered Qilu, they have been fighting against the Kuomintang miscellaneous army, the Kuomintang army's tactics are backward, there is a shortage of weapons, and the soldiers lack training, except for the unique courage of the Orientals, they are not a threat to the Japanese army at all, which also develops the arrogance of the Japanese army to look down on the Chinese army and regard the Chinese army as a chicken.
The arrogance of the Japanese army is naturally invincible when fighting a favorable battle, and a single person dares to run after a platoon or even a company of the Kuomintang army, and the results are often very good; under the rout, the Kuomintang army has repeatedly had the absurd situation of a platoon or even a company surrendering to several Japanese soldiers or even a Japanese army.
However, when the Japanese army encountered a real strong enemy, their dull set of charging tactics became a death tactic, and the Japanese army at this moment was facing this tragic situation.
The situation of the puppet army attacking in front was even more miserable than that of the Japanese army, and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was fierce and cruel, ignoring that everyone was a Chinese compatriot, and fired bullets at them like a storm, sweeping them to the ground in rows like cutting wheat.
The Japanese soldiers in the back were also hard-hearted, knowing that the puppet army's charge was only to send them to death, but still ruthlessly drove them forward, as long as the puppet soldiers took half a step back, the Japanese soldiers behind them used machine guns, rifles, and bayonets to shoot and stab the puppet soldiers to death.
The puppet officers and soldiers are extremely sad and indignant, now they can't advance or retreat, advance is death, retreat is death, no one cares about their lives, and there is a faint emotion called "regret" in everyone's hearts.
Fortunately, the shells of the Eighth Route Army were no longer aimed at them, but instead focused on the Japanese soldiers who were supervising the battle behind them, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, they also knew that this situation could not continue, the automatic fire of the Eighth Route Army was unexpectedly fierce, the bullets seemed to be fired without money, they could not rush at all, so the more shrewd pseudo-army soldiers ran towards the mountains and forests on both sides, and the deep-rooted survival wisdom of the Chinese taught them one thing, that is, the thirty-six plans to go up.
Not to mention, this step of the puppet soldiers was really taken by them, as long as the puppet soldiers fled to the mountains and forests on both sides, the Eighth Route Army opened their nets to them and stopped shooting at them, as long as those puppet soldiers who did not have long eyes and still rushed forward with dead brains were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The power of example is endless, seeing those puppet soldiers who fled to the mountains and forests on both sides, the puppet soldiers behind also did the same, wanting to escape from the mountains and forests on both sides.
Originally, they were only hit by artillery fire, and they could still avoid the blow of the shells if they were more flexible, but after the puppet army who acted as a meat shield fled, they were suddenly exposed.
"Dada......"
"No buttons, no buttons......"
"Bang! Bang......"
Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were exposed to the firing range, how could the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army let go of such a good opportunity to kill the enemy. In an instant, all kinds of rifles, such as light and heavy machine guns, three-seven bars, three-seven bars, and three-eight large covers, which had just stopped for a short time, began to roar happily.
The impermeable bullets were sprinkled on the embarrassed devil like a storm, and the devil was already in pain under the blow of artillery fire, but now coupled with the dense bullets that were fired all over the world, it suddenly made matters worse, and it was swept across like an autumn wind sweeping leaves, and fell forever on the land of China.
"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the situation is not good, the people of China are really unreliable, they fled on the battlefield, exposing our imperial warriors to the guns of the Eighth Route Army, and now the imperial warriors have suffered heavy casualties under the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and they are about to be unable to hold on!" A Japanese communications soldier reported to Major General Tadashi Yoshizawa in a panic.
"Nani?" Major General Yoshizawa Tadayong's face suddenly became extremely ugly after hearing this, and he roared angrily: "Baga, damn the pigs are all dead, and they can't even complete the simple task of being cannon fodder for the imperial army, it's a big waste!" ”
The field artillery wing of the Japanese army was not yet in place, and the infantry wing, which only had machine guns and rifles, was powerless to fight back under the powerful fire of the Eighth Route Army.
Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi thought that these 3,000 puppet troops could serve as meat shields and cannon fodder for the Japanese army, covering the Japanese soldiers in front of the position of the Eighth Route Army, so that the Japanese army could shorten the distance between the position of the Eighth Route Army and launch a fatal blow to the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the puppet army ran away, the Japanese soldiers were exposed to the guns of the Eighth Route Army, and seeing that the casualties were getting heavier and heavier, the commander of the 26th Wing, Nobuki Morimoto, could only be forced to retreat.
Hearing the order to retreat, the Japanese soldiers turned around and ran as if they were amnesty, and the face of Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi, who saw this scene through the binoculars, became more and more ugly.
Chief of Staff Matsumoto stepped forward and suggested: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, it is impossible to destroy the opposite China Army without the cover of artillery fire, and it is imperative that we stabilize the defense line, and wait for the field artillery wing to be in place before avenging the blood hatred of the China Army, and tearing the China Army to pieces with powerful artillery fire." ”
"Yo Xi, Matsumoto-kun is very reasonable, you go and urge Nagamura Okaya Yutaka now, order the field artillery wing to speed up, and ask them to rush to the battlefield within ten minutes."
"Hey, let's go deliver the order."
Although Major General Yoshizawa Tadashi was extremely arrogant, he immediately sobered up after being taught a lesson by the powerful artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, and knew that he would not be able to take revenge until the field artillery wing was in place.
