Chapter 602: Can't Hold It

At this time, the commander of the second battalion decisively ordered: "The left flank of the first company is outflanked, and the right flank of the second company is outflanked, forcing the Japanese army to only rush forward!" “”

Soon, three companies of the 2nd Battalion formed a zigzag semi-encirclement behind the Japanese buttocks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The hesitant Japanese had just chosen to avoid the positions that had been enveloped in artillery fire, and wanted to retreat from both flanks in a roundabout way. One, two, or two companies immediately fired a very dense barrage of bullets at them.

With pursuers in the rear and on both sides, the Japanese troops, who were bent on survival, could only pin their hopes on the division headquarters again.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the middle of the rout: "Rush over, as long as we rush through the artillery coverage area of the Liaodong Army, we will be safe!" ”

Instigated by this voice, the routs were as if they had been stimulated, and immediately rushed towards the Japanese positions that had been covered with artillery fire.

The second battalion commander's eyes lit up, and he followed the order: "Inform the artillery behind, stop the shelling when the rout rushes to twenty or thirty meters in front of the formation, I want the Japanese rout to break their last line of defense, and let the defenders on the last line of defense also become a rout." ”

Soon, the shelling stopped.

The routers, who had already rushed to the front of the position, immediately realized that this was their only chance to escape back to the division headquarters.

As a result, the densely packed rout soldiers showed a fierce posture of not fearing death at this time, and rushed to the Japanese position with a roar.

Within a few seconds, the Japanese troops guarding the position also reacted.

Although the sudden artillery attack caused them a lot of casualties, it gave them a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong Army. But they also know that there is no way back.

In that case, holding their ground is the only way for them to survive.

Looking at the rout soldiers close at hand, no matter how embarrassed and heartbroken they were, in order to survive, they finally shot.

The dense bullets swept the rout to the ground, and the momentum of the rout fleeing for their lives was finally contained at this time. However, this good situation for the Japanese army did not last long.

Seeing that the Japanese troops on the position were shooting ruthlessly, the Liaodong Army that followed behind the rout was not polite.

The light machine guns and rifles that they held in their hands opened fire one after another. Grab the bullets and kill the last rout.

There was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the rear, which was the bad situation that the Japanese army faced next.

At this time, whether they rush forward or retreat, they will face the test of life and death. But for the Japanese army who wanted to survive, the chances of rushing forward and surviving were obviously much greater.

First of all, he was only about 20 meters away from the defense line of the division headquarters. If you charge with all your might, you can rush through it in a matter of seconds.

Secondly, they all have a hint of luck in their hearts. After all, it was their own people who shot themselves in front, and the reason why they shot at their own people now is probably to scare themselves and make them take a detour to get out of here. As long as you charge with all your strength, your own people in front of you will definitely not continue to shoot and kill yourself in front of the position.

It was with these two thoughts that the rout, who was bent on escaping for their lives, became fearless of death in the face of bullets fired by their own people. Under the stunned gaze of the defenders, do not rush in the direction of the position.

Seeing that his former comrades-in-arms were not destined to rush towards him, the Japanese soldiers who were still able to shoot at them under the compulsory orders of the officers at the beginning came to die more and more of their comrades-in-arms under their own guns, and the hands holding the weapons gradually began to weaken. As they fought, they unconsciously stopped shooting, or raised the muzzle of their guns a little higher, and did not greet their comrades.

As a result, the Japanese troops holding the position could only watch as the rout rushed towards them.

Soon, the rout rushed into the line and tangled with the defenders on the line.

And these routs rushed to the defensive line and did not stop. They were already completely frightened by the Liaodong Army, so they jumped directly from the position and continued to flee for their lives.

In this process, on the chaotic defending positions, some Japanese soldiers who were cautious also seized the opportunity and fled for their lives with the rout. As more and more of the rout crossed the line and fled for their lives, more and more defenders fled with the rout.

The 2nd Battalion, which was closely following behind the rout, was almost attacked and successfully reached a position less than 20 meters from the Japanese position.

The second battalion, which wanted to defeat the defenders, did not say anything polite to the Japanese at all.

As soon as they came up, the second battalion greeted them with grenades.

After hundreds of grenades smashed into the Japanese position, the defenders on the position, who were rushed into confusion, were immediately blown up in pieces.

This attack was only the beginning, the first round of grenades falling from the sky had not yet exploded, and the second round of black grenades once again came over the heads of the Japanese troops.

Dense grenades exploded in the Japanese positions, and some exploded in the air, and the fragments of the grenades flew in a row, almost leaving the Japanese positions without dead ends. No matter where the Japanese were hiding, they could not dodge round after round of grenade attacks.

At this time, the Japanese army, who was insisting on waiting for death in the position, suddenly thought of the rout who had just jumped from the position.

In an instant, a thought arose in their minds: "Why can they run for their lives and live, and they should stay here and wait for death."

As soon as this thought appeared, many defenders had a careful idea of survival. Taking advantage of the fact that the officers around him were also dodging grenades, he seized the opportunity and fled for his life with the rout.

Soon, more and more defenders began to flee for their lives, and even if the officers reacted and tried to stop it, they could not stop this escape.

"Brothers, the Japanese are going to run for their lives. Rush up and crush them! ”

Soon, the battlefield turned into a rout.

Hundreds of people from the second battalion followed closely behind the Japanese troops, shooting and wounding them while pursuing, reducing the pressure of the next battle.

The division commander, who had returned to the division headquarters, had not had time to catch his breath when he received the news that the fourth line of defense, which was also the last line of defense in front of the headquarters, had collapsed on all fronts.

Seeing the dense crowd of Japanese soldiers running towards him like lost dogs, the division commander could hardly believe his eyes.

The chief of staff next to him reacted quickly and directly proposed: "Your Excellency the division commander, we must retreat immediately, this place can no longer be held." ”

The division commander, who looked unwilling, hurriedly retorted: "No, I can't retreat!" We still have a few thousand people, and we can still hold off the Liaodong Army. ”

As soon as the words were finished, a series of explosions sounded among the routs not far from the division commander.

The division commander saw with his own eyes that at least hundreds of soldiers were blown away by this round of shells. And the sudden artillery attack intensified the panic of the rout, making them even more desperate to flee in the direction where they were.

At this time, the chief of staff did not care whether the division commander was willing or not, and directly ordered the guards on the side.

"What are you doing? Immediately protect the division commander to retreat in the direction of the military headquarters, there is also a wing of guard units around the military headquarters, there is a position to defend, and it will definitely be able to block the military fortifications of Liaodong. ”

As soon as the division commander retreated, the last straw that supported the hearts of the Japanese soldiers fell.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers, no longer have any scruples, you chase me and rush to the back to flee for your life, so it's not lively. (To be continued.) )
