Chapter 360: Assault
"Da Da Da ......" The Japanese were still sitting in place and resting, without any preparation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
A dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out on the battlefield.
Afterwards, hundreds of soldiers of the battalion lurking in the bushes stood up with their weapons in their hands, and while firing bullets forward, they attacked in the direction of the official road.
The Japanese, who were sitting on the official road, were caught off guard and were immediately knocked down dozens of people.
"Enemy attack...... Immediately carry out a counterattack to block the sneak attack of the troops......" Some Japanese officers on the official road who reacted quickly shouted in shock.
Immediately, the Japanese, scattered among the artillery and baggage men, picked up their rifles and lay on the ground, ready to counterattack.
After seeing the reaction of the Japanese troops on the official road, the battalion commander not only did not worry, but also ordered excitedly.
"Keep moving forward...... The machine gunners, all shooting at the Japanese with guns, first cleaned up the two infantry squadrons of the Japanese army.
Under the overwhelming fire of a battalion of twenty light machine guns, the Japanese, armed only with rifles, were no match at all.
Lying on the ground, just shooting, or picking up a rifle before he could shoot, he was immediately attacked by a shuttle of bullets.
More importantly, the thirty-meter charging distance, for the first battalion, can rush to the official road in ten seconds at most.
Just as the Japanese were preparing to return fire with machine gun fire, the Liaodong Army had already rushed to the official road.
"A platoon and heavy machine guns were left behind, using the Japanese corpses as bunkers, and holding here...... Others, follow me to continue the assault, the machine gun fire does not stop, responsible for the assault...... The riflemen then followed, widening the breach, picking up the remnants of the enemy, and mending the Japanese by the way. The commanders of the first three or two companies, almost at the same time, in the same tone, ordered loudly.
The official road was five or six meters wide, and five or six light machine guns were placed on one side, and even if only half of the machine guns were firing at any given moment, the dense bullets were not something that the Japanese could withstand.
Soon. Nearly 100 Japanese fell again on the official road, and the two assault troops of the first battalion also attacked forward by twenty or thirty meters.
"Yaga, the enemy's assault fire is too strong, there are no heavy machine guns. Can't stop them at all......" shouted a Japanese squad leader as he retreated.
A squadron leader behind him immediately shouted: "The heavy machine guns are all on the side of the main force, they are all resisted by me, and I can't retreat any more......"
"As long as we hold on for five minutes. The main force of the wing will launch a counterattack from the back of the Liaodong Army and destroy them......"
"You are not allowed to retreat, give me a resist, and those who have rifles will shoot back immediately. Those who don't have a rifle go to the dead and find a rifle to fight back, we are enemies in front and behind, and we will die if we retreat......"
The murderous aura of the squadron leader infected many Japanese who were on the verge of collapse, and made them regain their courage and fight back with rifles.
However, a gap is a gap.
In the face of such fierce and dense firepower, the Japanese were not afraid of death. That wouldn't have dodged such a dense bullet.
Therefore, their counterattack has no meaning except to let themselves die a little early.
Especially after the Liaodong Army deliberately greeted the Japanese riflemen with bullets, the riflemen died faster on the battlefield.
At first, they had a chance to shoot in front of the machine gunners of the 1st battalion.
Now, as soon as they appear in front of the machine gunner, they don't even have their rifles in their hands, and they are beaten into a hornet's nest.
Of course, there is another benefit to this for the first battalion.
After a large number of Japanese infantry were killed. The Japanese artillery and baggage soldiers survived.
Faced with such a close threat of death, these Japanese, who rarely even had a frontal battle, immediately became panicked and had to flee for their lives in the rear.
And so it goes. Many of the infantrymen, who had just regained some morale, were also affected by these routs, which made the troops more and more disorganized and less and less courageous to continue fighting.
In this way, two assault teams divided into two battalions, like two combat vehicles. With an unstoppable momentum, he crushed the fleeing Japanese.
When the two fleeing Japanese armies collided together and began to be flanked by the Liaodong Army, they understood why the squadron leader kept preventing everyone from retreating.
However, it is too late to understand all of this now.
Under the frantic fire of more than a dozen light machine guns in front and behind the Liaodong Army, they were wiped out without even having room to fight back.
At this time, the second and third battalions also began to attack the Japanese advance guard and rear guard units.
Because of the limited terrain, in order to avoid the Japanese army from discovering the clues in advance.
The two battalions of the lurking troops were directly ambushed in the forest three or four hundred meters away from the official road.
After the interspersed assault of the first battalion began, the two battalions immediately rushed out of their hiding places and rushed towards the official road.
At first, the eyes of the Japanese army were all attracted by the first battalion.
A battalion was seen attacking the artillery and baggage with all its might, and separating the two forces.
The two captains who walked in the front and rear immediately understood the purpose of the Liaodong Army to divide and surround the artillery.
As a result, a large number of Japanese troops began to rush to the artillery rest place with rifles and howls to rescue the artillerymen.
At this critical juncture, two battalions of one regiment, two or three appeared.
"Bageya Road, how come we also have the Liaodong Army behind us, where did the Liaodong Army come from with so many troops......" The captain with a shocked face asked rhetorically.
When he saw that the light machine gun held by the Liaodong Army in front of his chest had already been fired. Despite the distance, seven or eight soldiers with their backs exposed to their guns were hit by bullets and fell to the official road.
The captain followed up with the order: "Eight Geya Road, three or four squadrons, stop immediately, block on the spot, and block the attacking troops of the Liaodong Army...... The heavy machine-gun squadron left two squads. ”
"Other troops, continue to reinforce artillery and baggage ......"
Nearly 800 Japanese troops immediately split into two and pounced on their respective targets.
The two squadrons that stayed behind immediately took advantage of the terrain on both sides of the official road to organize a defensive line on the spot, and set up heavy machine guns to shoot bullets at the Liaodong Army.
Caught off guard, the Liaodong Army that rushed to the front fell on the road without even saying a word.
The Japanese army's rapid reaction speed did not surprise Xiao Bing.
After all, Xiao Bing had fought with the Japanese more than once, and he already knew very well about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.
The moment his subordinates were shot and fell to the ground, Xiao Bing ordered: "Heavy machine gun cover, machine gun head, continue to assault the official road......"
"Riflemen prepare grenades, create smoke with grenades, cover machine gunners to assault forward ......"
The three battalions of six heavy machine guns, both in terms of firepower and combat effectiveness, were no match for the Japanese army.
However, with the addition of nearly 20 light machine guns, the Japanese blocking fire immediately became intermittent.
In addition, more than a dozen grenades exploded in front of the first battalion, and a burst of gunpowder smoke quickly rose to block the figure of the first battalion.
The Japanese intermittent intermittent fire also had to fire at six heavy machine guns of the same battalion because they could not aim at the assault team of the third battalion.
In this way, the pressure on the three-battalion commando team is much less. (To be continued.) )
