Chapter 757: The Last Twenty Minutes

In the last 20 minutes, a violent explosion sounded on the position, and the battalion commander Li Shengda, who was lying in the trench, patted the dust that fell on his body and said to the instructor beside him.

"Instructor, how many times have we repelled the enemy's attack, why haven't the reinforcements of the regimental headquarters arrived yet, and how many people are left in our first battalion."

"It has just been the fifth squadron-sized attack of the enemy that we have repulsed, if nothing else, the next attack will be coming soon As for the regimental reinforcements, just now the street ordered, it will take at least twenty minutes for the first bō reinforcements to arrive" The instructor said helplessly.

"What, how many people are left in the army in twenty minutes" after a brief shock. Battalion Commander Li Shengda immediately asked the question he wanted to know the most at this moment, "There were 215 people in the battalion before the war, and so far, only more than 120 people have been able to continue fighting. Among them, there were many lightly wounded who could not get out of the line of fire and held on to their positions. However, after half an hour of continuous fighting, we had run out of ammunition in our hands, and the whole battalion of light and heavy machine guns was added up, and there were only the last six tǐng left," the instructor quickly reported what he had just learned.

"These soldiers who have just joined the army are all good, tell everyone, hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, we can live." If the little devil breaks through our position, then, what is left for us is only one result, that is, the whole army is killed, so if we want to get off the position alive, the only thing we can do now is to block the enemy's offensive and hold on until the arrival of reinforcements" ...... "Instructor, tell the soldiers, in the next battle, you must save ammunition for me, and you can't shoot without restraint like before. All light and heavy machine gunners, no one is allowed to fire without my orders," Li Shengda ordered very decisively.

, "It's the battalion commander......"

, "Battalion commander, the little devil is coming up......"

Hearing the reminder of the company commander beside him, Li Shengda quickly raised the telescope in his hand. Three hundred meters away in front of the position, more than 100 devil soldiers, driving the Imperial Association army of about 300 people, quickly rushed towards the position under the cover of dozens of heavy machine guns behind them.

"The little devil asked the Imperial Allied Army to block the bullets for them. After the comrade troops, the Japanese puppet army entered two hundred meters, and all the riflemen chose to shoot at the little devils and the officers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

After the enemy had entered fifty meters, all light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, resolutely repelling the enemy's attack............

, "Bang Bang Bang" A sparse burst of rifle fire, under the cover of heavy machine gun fire, began to sound on the battlefield. More than 400 Japanese puppet troops, almost every few meters of advance, one person will fall on the way to charge.

Of course, the more than 100 devil soldiers were not the cheats of dozens of heavy machine guns fired by vegetarians, clinging to the edge of the trenches, constantly suppressing the counterattack fire on the position. Some sharpshooters, also under the cover of the Imperial Allied Army in front of them, half-squatted on the ground, raised their rifles in their hands and began to counterattack............

Dense fire came and went, and in less than a few minutes, the battalion, which again lost dozens of fighters, had to stop this pointless counterattack.

Squatting in the trenches, waiting for a chance to counterattack.

"The battalion commander, the enemy's firepower is too dense, the soldiers can't lift their heads at all, and the enemy's grenadiers can't lift their heads, as if they have eyes, as long as there is a little movement on our position, it will attract at least one grenade attack, and we can't fight like this anymore, and before the reinforcements arrive, all of our more than 100 people will be explained here............" The instructor said with a desperate face.

"***, if it were in the Northeast Field Army, Lao Tzu would have passed by artillery fire a long time ago, and their light and heavy machine guns would have been blown up to the western sky" "Clenched his fists and glanced at the Japanese puppet army in front of him who was getting closer and closer to him, and the battalion commander Li Shengda scolded fiercely.

"Battalion commander, don't we have it now, what should we do next?" The instructor asked anxiously.

"What to do, the old way ......, we are inferior to the little devils in terms of firepower, then we will engage in melee combat with them, order the troops, prepare grenades, machine gunners, and be ready to fire. This time, I will put the enemy thirty meters away and shoot again, as long as we disrupt the Imperial Cooperative Army in front, the more than a hundred little devils who are blocking behind the Imperial Cooperative Army will be completely violent within our machine gun range............" Li Shengda ordered with a murderous face. However, at this moment, Li Shengda obviously underestimated the determination of the hundreds of Japanese puppet soldiers in front of him............

The failure of several consecutive attacks made Major General Kaohsiung, who commanded the operation behind him, almost thunderous. The commander of the retreating unit was also merciless and shot him directly. And this attack, in order to avoid the troops returning halfway again. Not only did he send the elite of a squadron to suppress the formation, but more importantly, he also sent his own personal guard squadron as a supervising team to shoot and kill all the Japanese troops who dared to retreat, the Imperial Cooperative Army...

"Throw grenades, machine gunners, hit me hard" A roar rang out from the blocking position. The six tǐng light and heavy machine guns, which had been hidden for a long time, spewed out an impenetrable bullet net at the little devils who were all in front of him at the same time. Of course, more than a hundred grenades, too, flew out of the trenches at the first time. Drawing a perfect arc in the air, he quickly flew towards the dense Japanese puppet army......

"What's the matter, with such a dense attack, the more than 300 Imperial Allied troops did not retreat......

The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and on the wide position in front of him, there were dozens of corpses of Japanese puppet soldiers. The remaining Japanese puppet soldiers withdrew from the grenade throwing range one after another and lay on the ground. It didn't go as I thought, it didn't happen. Battalion Commander Li Shengda's face once again showed a puzzled look, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

However, before he could react from the shock, the exclamations of the instructors around him reached his ears again.

"Battalion commander, the enemy is coming up again...... Six "sentence" devils, today Lao Tzu is not ......, machine gunner, don't save me bullets, give me a hard beating. Rifleman, continue to throw grenades, n must press down the enemy's offensive for me, and must not let them break through to the position, six "Seeing the Japanese puppet army in front of him that was several times his own, Li Shengda clearly knew. If you let the enemy rush into the position, engage yourself in a hand-to-hand battle. Then, in the case of absolute superiority, there is only a dead end for yourself. What's more, the troops with less than 100 people around them are, after all, prisoner soldiers who have just been reformed. Shooting with a rifle, albeit a qualified fighter. However, in white-knuckle combat, he may not be a qualified fighter. Well, at this point, a strong thought immediately appeared in Li Shengda's mind, that is, he must not engage in white-knuckle combat with the enemy in front of him.

"Yes, battalion commander......

Under the reproach of the fighters regardless of the consumption of ammunition, the Japanese puppet army, which lost nearly 100 people, was finally pressed at a position of 50 meters and began to shoot. At this moment, Li Shengda seemed to have collapsed, his face was pale, and then he sat in the trench panting.

"Battalion commander, this group of enemies, I don't know if they have taken the wrong medicine, and they have not retreated from four battles.

Now, the enemy, though temporarily suppressed. However, I am sure that in a few minutes at most, I will pounce again. I had a quick look just now, and there were less than sixty people left who could continue the battle.

If reinforcements don't arrive, we're really going to hang all here," said the instructor, who was also panting, with a desperate expression.

"I see, tell the warriors to be ready for hand-to-hand combat,...... After a long sigh, Li Shengda had to make this decision that could collapse the battlefield of the first battalion at any time.

……………………

"Battalion commander, the heavy machine gun is out of ammunition only" Battalion comes......,... The light machine gun ran out of ammunition "Battalion commander, I don't have any bullets and no grenades" In less than a few minutes, the gunfire on the blocking position, which was still dense just now, slowly thinned out. In the trenches, there were only a few dozen commanders and fighters left, all of whom looked at Li Shengda beside him with blank eyes, waiting for the battalion commander's decision. Now I order, all bayonets, ready for a white-knuckle battle...... In the solemn atmosphere of the trenches, the dozens of surviving soldiers slowly pulled out the bayonets that emitted a cold light from their waists, stuck on the muzzle of the guns, and waited for the final moment to come.

However, just as everyone, holding the rifles in their hands, was about to rush out of the trenches, a loud charge horn reached everyone's ears...... Second, "Battalion commander, we have been saved, reinforcements have finally arrived" Hearing a very timely charge horn, a line of tears appeared on the instructor's face, and Jī said movingly.

"yes, reinforcements are finally here. Our first battalion was finally saved, and all the battalions were saved, charging with me to avenge the sacrificed comrades. Brothers, rush, kill devils, take revenge" A hint of jī moved god sè appeared on Li Shengda's face. Battalion commander Li Shengda clenched the rifle in his hand and shouted loudly. Then, with the sound of the loud charge, the first one jumped out of the trench and launched the final counter-charge to the Japanese puppet army, which was close in front of him and had slowly fallen into chaos...... II@.
