Chapter 192: The Battle of Hebei Slope (5)
"Quick, all companies will act immediately according to the predetermined plan," the brigade commander Wang Nanhu ordered loudly. At the same time, under the protection of the guards, he followed a battalion and a company to the position that had been bombed into ruins.
"Quick, what are you doing in a daze, find a crater, hide quickly" Looking at the stunned soldiers, the brigade commander hurriedly reminded.
The four heavy machine guns covered by the devil rang out. Hearing the devil's gunshot, Wang Nanhu hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked at the devil's starting position.
Perhaps the commander of the army thought that the Eighth Route Army on the position had been almost wiped out by the artillery fire just now, or perhaps he thought that in the course of the attack of the first squad, the [***] squadron should have lost more than half of its own and no longer posed any threat to itself. So at this time, the squadron leader still sent only one squad of troops. A squad of devils, under the command of a commander, was lining up in a sparse attack formation and crossed out of their starting position.
"Comrades, pay attention to concealment, the devils are beginning to charge, and the artillery company is ready for shelling. After hearing the order, bomb me on the devil's artillery position and heavy machine gun position, and you must destroy all the devil's heavy weapons as soon as possible," brigade commander Wang Nanhu looked at several heavy machine guns of the army that were constantly shooting, and said contemptuously.
Due to the lack of resistance from the soldiers, the army advanced very quickly. A small team, in less than a few minutes, attacked less than a hundred meters in front of the position.
"Prepare for shelling" Looking at the army that was getting closer and closer, and his face was full of arrogance, Wang Nanhu said coldly. A dull sound of "Tongtong.0" sounded from the artillery position behind the position, and in an instant, more than a dozen black dots flew into the sky from the artillery position, and with a whistling sound that broke through the air, they flew towards the devil artillery position 500 meters away.
"Ah, hide it, the people of China are shelling" An artillery soldier who was holding his head up suddenly saw four shells flying towards him, and was speechless in surprise. "Boom, boom, boom" four shells landed on the devil's artillery position, and the four mortars of the army artillery squad lost two at once.
As for the heavy machine-gun positions of the devils, there was no such good luck. Since the four heavy machine guns of the devils were scattered, the artillery company took out a total of 8 mortars to defeat the machine guns that posed the greatest threat to the infantry. Eight mortars hit four heavy machine guns, which can really be said to be a cannon to fight mosquitoes. As the shells exploded, the four heavy machine guns, which were happily spitting bullets, were almost instantly muted. Four heavy machine guns, along with people and guns, were lifted into the sky.
"Baga," the leader of the second squad who led the charge suddenly felt an explosion behind him. In the blink of an eye, the heavy machine gun that provided cover for its own fire was no longer called. Quickly turned his head to see what was going on. However, when he turned his head, a shocking scene appeared. The heavy machine-gun positions and artillery positions of their own squadron were caught in a sea of fire.
"Baga, how can the people of China have so many cannons," but, despite his anger, the charge still had to continue. Because now his squad has rushed to a distance of less than 60 meters from the position of the Zhina, as long as he adds strength, no matter how powerful his artillery is, he will die in the hands of the powerful Imperial Army of the Great Emperor.
"Kill to give" Looking at the position that was getting closer and closer, the squad leader's face finally showed a smile, and he excitedly pulled out his command knife, preparing to launch the final charge with his soldiers.
Hearing the order of his squad leader, the soldiers behind him all shouted excitedly, "Kill and give", and one by one, they held the rifles with bayonets that had been loaded, and rushed towards the position of the Eighth Route Army.
"Comrades, give me a hard beating" Looking at the devil soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the brigade commander Wang Nanhu ordered loudly, and even he picked up a captured devil rifle and aimed at a devil commander Cao who was holding a rifle. A gunshot rang out, and Cao Chang, who was charging quickly, was suddenly blocked by the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet, clutched his chest that was bleeding outward, and fell to the ground.
"At the same time. One heavy machine gun assigned to the first company, and three light machine guns also opened fire at the same moment. Although the density of fire at this time was not as large as the previous guard company. However, it is more effective in killing and injuring the enemy than the guards. Because the penetration of heavy machine gun bullets is simply incomparable to that of submachine guns. Many of the bullets pierced through the bunker in front of him before hitting his body.
In this way, the army, which had lost artillery fire and heavy machine gun cover, was under the blows of the fighters with light and heavy machine guns. The squad that launched the charge lost more than half of it in less than a few minutes. What's more, the rest of the general army was also completely pressed in front of the position by the powerful firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and it was impossible to move and counterattack at all.
Of course, the devils could not kill the Eighth Route Army on the position. Slowly, the soldiers also played any lethal role in the Eighth Route Army, which was getting better and better hidden. Although the two armies saw only a rain of bullets flying at this time, they did not kill or injure any opponents against each other.
"Charge," Seeing that the bullets could hardly kill and injure any of the devil soldiers, the brigade commander Wang Nanhu ordered to the company commander beside him.
"Tick tock" Immediately, the sound of a loud charge was remembered on the position. The soldiers of the company, who had already been preparing to take revenge for the guard company, were like wild horses that had escaped from the reins, swooping towards the devil's position. "Comrades, rush, avenge the soldiers of the sacrificial guard company, and annihilate the little devils" is the slogan of the whole company.
Seeing the Eighth Route Army rushing towards him, the captain of the Yue Army, who was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, did not rush to any panic. Although the soldiers of the avant-garde squad on their starting position said how good the Chinese were at fighting bayonets, the squad leader, who was deeply influenced by militarism, did not think so, and he did not believe in how good the stabbing skills of the weak Chinese people were.
"Yo Xi, order, all withdraw the bullets, and prepare to fight the bayonets." Looking at the Chinese soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the squad leader ordered to the soldiers beside him. Soon, the yellow bullets were withdrawn from the chambers by the soldiers. However, the course of the battle was not as the squad leader imagined.
Just when the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was only 20 meters away from him. Suddenly, countless small black things flew out of the formation of the Eighth Route Army, "Ahh Grenade, hide quickly" Seeing a black thing and wanting to fly by itself, the squad leader finally understood that it was a grenade. But in the midst of this empty wilderness, where to take refuge?
The position of the "boom boom" devil was immediately overwhelmed by the explosion of the grenade. However, the charging warriors did not stop at all, and rushed into the smoke with a shout. A bright bayonet was inserted into the bodies of the devils who did not react, and deadly bullets were shot into their brains
"Baga, my second squad, my second squad is finished" Ever since his own artillery position, heavy machine gun position, was shelled by the opposite [***] team, the squadron leader who was pressing in the rear had a very bad premonition.
As a result, he returned the pearls to the second team to a much higher degree than the first team. Almost every move of the second squad fell on his eyes. However, what I didn't expect was why the Eighth Route Army, which had been disabled by its own avant-garde squad, suddenly emerged with so many superior troops and so many heavy weapons. At once, the second squad, which had no heavy fire support, pressed it to the death in front of the enemy's position, and was quickly drowned in the explosion of the enemy's grenades
What's still to come? With the second squad of devils in a company to pay a certain casualties after all annihilation. The first company did not make any stop in front of the position where the two armies were fighting. Instead, they quickly formed an attack formation and rushed towards their main position.
"Baga, is it as if the people of China are breaking through the positions of my two squads with the strength of a company?" The squadron leader looked at the Chinese soldiers who wanted to rush over in disbelief.
"Quick, the third squad will stop the rushing Shina people on the spot, and we must not let them rush to our position," the squadron leader ordered to the squad leader beside him. "The fourth squad is on guard at the rear and on both flanks, and we are ready to withdraw," the squadron leader said with determination.
However, Wang Nanhu didn't give him a chance to retreat, just when the third squad was just lying on the ground. The artillery battery, which had already adjusted its coordinates, began to shell. Dense shells began to fall in the middle of the devil's position, and the soldiers of the third squad who had no trench cover fell to the ground one by one without saying a word in the dense explosion.
"Quick, retreat" Seeing that the enemy's first round of artillery fire weakened his combat effectiveness by a third, the squad leader could not hold on any longer. Regardless of the squadron leader's order to hold on, he immediately gave his squad an order to retreat. "Boom Boom" With the fall of the second round of shells, it once again took the lives of several soldiers of the Imperial Army. This strengthened the team's determination to retreat.
As a result, the third squad of the devils, without making contact with the rushing company, lost nearly half of its combat strength in the artillery attack of the squadron [***] and fled back to its main position in embarrassment.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers of the first company followed the retreating third squad and quickly inserted themselves into the main position of the army.
"Baga, why don't you hold your ground" Seeing the three squads retreating in embarrassment, the squadron leader asked loudly.
"Your Excellency the Captain, the artillery fire of the [***] squadron is too fierce, and we have lost half of our troops before we have made contact with the Chinese people, and now my squad has only 26 people who can fight." As he spoke, the squad leader pointed to the dozens of soldiers behind him with gunpowder on their faces.
"Baga, despicable Chinans, hurry, prepare to retreat, the fourth squad acts as cover, hurry" At this time, after losing his heavy weapons and seeing the fierce artillery fire of the squadron artillery of the opposite China, the squadron leader no longer had the courage to fight. Because he knows that if he continues, what awaits him will be total annihilation.
