Chapter 361: The Battle Ends

"Quick, continue to assault forward, don't interrupt the machine gunner's fire......" The battalion commander Xiao Bing immediately seized the opportunity and ordered loudly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, the third battalion rushed forward more than thirty meters.

Under the cover of gunsmoke, the third battalion only lost less than two squads, all of which were caused by the Japanese army's blind strafing.

I saw that the smoke in front of me had come to an end and began to dissipate.

Xiao Bing immediately ordered: "Grenades, throw more than a dozen grenades, cover with gunsmoke, and the assault team will continue to attack." ”

In this way, under the cover of grenade smoke, the third battalion advanced step by step towards the official road.

At this moment, the two squadrons of the Japanese infantry returning artillery had already collided with a platoon of a battalion of improvised defensive lines.

At first, the Japanese did not know the firepower configuration of the platoon.

Caught off guard, he was directly killed and wounded by two heavy machine guns and three light machine guns.

However, the good fortune of the platoon ended here.

The eight heavy machine guns of the two heavy machine gun squads of the Japanese army were set up one by one, and the row hiding behind the corpses of the Japanese soldiers was completely suppressed, and there was no chance to even raise their heads.

As for the light and heavy machine guns, a few bullets were fired intermittently at first.

However, the price of these bullets was significant, and each machine gun was replaced by almost one machine gunner.

Because of the limited number of machine gunners, in order to prevent light and heavy machine guns from becoming ornaments, several light and heavy machine guns were directly muted and no longer fired.

As soon as the light and heavy machine gun fire in the platoon stopped, the Japanese soldiers turned into a pack of wolves that smelled blood, screaming and rushing towards the platoon.

Soon, a squad of Japanese troops rushed to the front of a platoon.

At this time, at most ten seconds, the Japanese troops with rifles can rush to a line of defense.

Therefore, dozens of Japanese soldiers showed a fanatical expression on their faces.

However, what the Japanese did not expect was that the first platoon did not panic in the slightest because of its own attack.

Especially on the platoon commander's face, a sneer flashed.

Then the platoon commander gave a loud order: "Grenades ready...... Throw a grenade ......"

More than thirty grenades emitting white smoke. Immediately flew out of the defense line of the first battalion, as if with eyes, and smashed directly at the Japanese.

Soon, the Japanese understood. Why did the Liaodong Army not collapse in its own offensive.

Dozens of Japanese, still not understanding what dozens of iron bumps were doing in front of them, a violent explosion immediately sounded around them.

After more than 30 grenades exploded in succession, a small squad of Japanese troops was directly blown up.

Even if he didn't die on the spot, he couldn't get timely treatment. Die in agony, or be called by the riflemen who are close to the defenders.

"Baga, this must be the secret weapon of the Liaodong Army, the grenade......" The captain of the Japanese army who was watching the battle behind him scolded loudly with a heartache on his face.

After scolding, he directly ordered: "Second Infantry Squad, continue to attack...... There are not many defenders, even if they are equipped with secret weapons, there are not many, as long as their secret weapons are used up, victory will be ours......"

"Hi ......"

Right away. More than 40 Japanese armed with rifles, under the cover of heavy machine guns behind them, reluctantly began to attack.

To the disappointment of the Japanese captain, seeing that his squad was about to win, dozens of powerful iron bumps flew out of the defenders' positions again.

The grenade exploded, and the strength of a squad was blown up again.

In order to block the Japanese reinforcements, the first company left behind a platoon and left behind all the more than 160 grenades equipped by the whole company.

At this rate of attrition. The remaining grenades were enough to blow up three more Japanese infantry squads in one row.

The captain of the only two infantry squadrons at hand, no matter how generous he is, he can't watch the entire army of one squad after another under his command be wiped out.

So, after the loss of three infantry squads in a row. The captain couldn't help but gasp and stopped this pointless attack.

At this time, the other troops of the company, which had completed the assault mission, happened to withdraw back.

In this way, no matter how many infantry squadrons the Japanese army comes, they will not be able to break through a single company of interceptions.

Because, when the company was coming back. He easily carried back the four heavy machine guns captured on the battlefield.

In addition to the two heavy machine guns and six light machine guns that the company was originally equipped with, the first company already had the strength to shoot at two heavy machine gun squads of the Japanese army.

The demoralized Japanese troops, once they lost the cover of heavy machine guns, they would turn into a pack of wolves without fangs, incapacitated.

Li Zhilong, who was a few miles away, kept staring at the battlefield with a pair of eyes.

I saw that the first battalion successfully took the Japanese artillery and baggage troops, and divided the elite of more than 2,000 Japanese troops into two. Li Zhilong's tense face directly showed a confident smile.

Subsequently, he ordered directly to the chief of staff beside him: "The Japanese artillery has been taken by us...... Order the heavy artillery battalion and the mountain artillery company to open fire immediately, cover the second and third battalions to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and destroy them......"

Soon, the screech of shells across the sky above the battlefield sounded.

The heavy artillery battalion fought against more than 1,200 Japanese troops attacked by the third battalion...... The mountain artillery company faced more than 800 Japanese troops attacking the second battalion.

Although only 30% of the shells that fell in the first round hit the target.

However, the violent explosion of shells was like a blow to the head, directly shaking the limited morale of the Japanese army to the lowest point.

While many Japanese were killed and injured, the remaining Japanese became panicked.

And that's just the beginning.

As the shelling continued, the accuracy of the shells became better and better.

In less than five minutes, the official road where the Japanese troops had gathered was shrouded in gunsmoke. Pillars of black smoke rose into the air and appeared on the battlefield.

As for the Japanese under the shroud of gunsmoke, after ten minutes of baptism of one or two hundred shells, they were directly blown up and suffered heavy losses.

The 23 battalions immediately seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese with light machine guns.

The first battalion that succeeded in taking the Japanese artillery and baggage troops was not far behind. Split into two to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

In the end, the whole assault ended in only half an hour.

When the smoke of gunpowder that shrouded the battlefield slowly dissipated, a tragic and bloody picture appeared.

The official road, which is more than a kilometer long, is full of craters.

Around the crater, a thick layer of Japanese corpses was paved, and they were placed on the official road in various postures.

In addition, the most tragic thing is that those stumps and broken arms and old flesh that were directly torn apart by shells are everywhere.

When Li Zhilong came to the battlefield, the entire battlefield was completely enveloped by the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, so that no one could breathe.

Although his brows were furrowed, the smile on Li Zhilong's face never disappeared.

At this time, the chief of staff came over and reported with an excited face: "Regiment commander, we won...... Except for more than 200 Japanese troops who fled into the mountains and we were still pursuing, all the other Japanese were wiped out by us, and even their captain of the Daisa Wing was blown off an arm by a shell and died on the spot......"

Li Zhilong replied with a satisfied face: "It's been almost five days, and it's finally over...... Order the troops, clean up the battlefield ...... immediately" (To be continued.) )
