Chapter 136: Precarious

Gonio Yokota, who was dizzy and had already reacted to the symptoms of poisoning, lay motionless in the pile of corpses, and at the moment when the gunshots rang out, several death squad members around him lay on his body as a temporary meat shield. Through the cover of several bodies, the powerful machine gun bullets did not cause damage to Tsugao Yokota, but now he has begun to poison, one of the symptoms of this snake venom attack is bleeding from the mouth and nose, and the other is that vision begins to blur and even blindness.

After the gunfire stopped, Tsuneo Yokota, who had a premonition that he was no longer good, slowly got out of several corpses that wrapped him, gritted his teeth and crawled towards the vague slope ahead. Blurred vision, who crawled only by feeling, felt more and more chills on his body, although it was still dark at this time, and his vision didn't play much of a role, but the blur in front of him was still a big blow to Koo Yokota psychologically.

The machine guns on the slope had long since stopped firing, and only about 20 of the 200 daredevils under Tsukao Yokota remained, and most of the more than 20 daredevils were wounded. But the rest of the daredevils didn't want to give up the attack mission like Tsugeo Yokota, and with the help of the little fire left after the explosion of the explosive pack, the remaining Japanese daredevils began to gather behind Tsugeo Yokota and climbed up the slope as usual.

"Bang Dang" "Bang Dang" was continuously touched by the empty canned food box arranged by the mercenaries in front of the slope, not only did Hengtian Tsuruo, who had greatly lost his eyesight, already begin to be confused at this time, and he didn't know what his arm had just touched with his strong will to support his actions. "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", an arc explosion composed of serial bombs suddenly erupted, and the flames that rose from the ground directly engulfed Tsuyo Yokota and them.

Yan Wudao had already foreseen that the Japanese army might have follow-up actions after they found out that the Japanese army dared to attack at night, so the mercenaries on the slope arranged a large piece of the empty canned food box that they had eaten at the bottom of the slope, and Tsukao Yokota, who was lucky enough to escape the first machine gun salvo, was only discovered by the mercenaries hiding in the shadows after touching the canned food box arranged by the mercenaries, and then detonated a chain of thunderstorms.

The fire and fierce gunfire in front of the position under the slope were eye-catching and abnormal in the night, and Mutaguchi Ryoya, who had been hanging a heart, was also blue at this time, his night attack seemed to be a complete failure, and the 200 death squad members were already in a bleak way. Seeing that the sneak attack could not be achieved, Mutaguchi Lianya ordered the Japanese army, which had already prepared the attack equipment, to start a strong attack, and the 55th Wing, which served as the forward force, directly launched the famous "pig rush" charge of the Japanese army.

Seeing that the sneak attack was not successful, the more than 100 reserve daredevils of the 18th Division simply joined the formation of the charge, as long as these crazy daredevils rushed into the opponent's camp, these Japanese soldiers who were determined to die for victory would not hesitate to pull the explosives bags on their bodies. In this way, the inexperienced opponent will immediately be destroyed by such a lifeless style of play and completely collapse, the 18th Division used this trick against the US defense line in the Philippine battlefield, and was therefore called the 18th Division by the Philippine US Army as the beast army.

But the Japanese army is now facing the thunder, not the national army and guerrillas they once chased and fought, they will face the thunder mercenaries who are the best at night combat in the thunder, as well as the Jewish machine gun company with strong firepower, this is a battle with a disparity in strength and firepower, facing more than 20,000 Japanese troops is a 300-person Jewish machine gun company under the direct command of the thunder force and 500 mercenaries under the direct command of Yan Wudao, and only the 4,000 Burmese guerrillas can rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time. They were going to take on a Japanese army six times their size.

"Steady, steady, all gun forts are not allowed to fire without my orders" Haig hissed and howled in the steel forts that were still stuck halfway up the slopes, each of which had a walkie-talkie, through which Haig could command the machine-gun fire in each of them. Under the cold light of the flares, the Japanese offensive formation was seen very clearly, the maximum lethality of machine gun fire was to concentrate the fire salvo, the scattered Japanese forward troops had just entered the range of the machine guns, and now the lethality caused by the fire was not large enough, and Haig was waiting for the best time.

"Fire, Haig, let your machine guns fire immediately, the Japanese army is attacking with a nest" The scouts scattered around the periphery of the Japanese army under Yan Wudao sent back information at a critical moment, and the 18th and 55th divisions that were assembled together were completely attacking on the whole line this time, and when their forward troops attacked, the rear guard troops also completed the assembly early. If Yan Wudao's side still regarded the Japanese attack as a tentative attack, the 5,000 people, including the Burmese guerrillas, would probably not be able to stop the Japanese army's nearly 30,000 people from attacking on all fronts.

"Haig, immediately order your machine gunners to fire, the Japanese are attacking on all fronts this time, I will call in artillery fire to support you" The Japanese army's all-out attack has caused great pressure on the slope defense line, and the fire point that has been exposed to the Japanese army is only a steel fortress halfway up the slope, and before the mercenaries in the underground bunker shoot, the main defense of the position must rely on Haig's machine gun company. The Japanese army is strong, and if Haig puts the Japanese closer before fighting, once the attacking Japanese army relies on the cover of night to carry out an intensive attack, Haig's machine gun company may miss due to too many targets, and finally collapse the entire defense line.

Hagrid, who was halfway up on the slope, may have also been aware of this problem, and after Yan Wudao urged him to fire for the second time, he finally ordered his machine gunners to fire intensively through the walkie-talkie. Dense gunfire finally sounded halfway up the slope, and the dark red ballistics, which were particularly conspicuous in the night, rained down on the Japanese army's offensive sequence, and with the gunfire on the wall, the Japanese front that had already entered within 100 meters was shocked, and the Japanese army's originally unstoppable offensive also came to a halt.

The 55th Wing, which had been given the forward mission, was attacking like a rainbow, but they were the first to suffer from the machine-gun fire, and the attacking 55th Wing soldiers were like crashing into the sea of the reef, and the offensive came to an abrupt end. "Boom" "Boom" Several mortar shells flying from the rear of the Japanese army exploded halfway up the slope, and the white smoke dispersed halfway up the slope with the slight explosion of the mortar shells.

"Wear a mask, wear a gas mask quickly" Heig on the half-slope position did not care about urging his machine gunners to shoot at the enemy, and first ordered the machine gunners on the entire slope position to wear gas masks. The Japanese strategy of using poison gas bombs in the battle did work, and when Haig's machine gunners used gas masks, the machine gun fire of the steel fortress also stopped, and the 55th Wing, which was intercepted by the machine gun fire network, took this opportunity to continue to advance, and more than 2,000 Japanese troops rushed into the front 50 meters of the mercenary position over the corpses of their comrades.

There was a pause in the machine-gun fire halfway up the slope, which had already made Yan Wudao a little anxious, and now the Japanese forward troops suddenly accelerated and rushed into the range of 50 meters in front of the position, which made Yan Wudao even more impatient. "Mercenary fire" looked at the Japanese army rushing over, Yan Wudao urgently ordered the mercenaries in the underground bunker to go to the surface to prepare for the best battle, the field artillery group in the rear is 88 mm caliber, no artillery can guarantee that it will hit the target with 100 shots, the Japanese army is only 50 meters away from the mercenary defense line at this time, Yan Wudao did not dare to call the rear artillery group to salvo the Japanese forward troops in front of the defense line, he was afraid of accidentally injuring his mercenaries.

"Fire" has always been not the focus of the Japanese army's defense at the bottom of the slope suddenly sounded a majestic voice, the moment the "da-da" flare went out, only twenty or thirty meters away from the Japanese army, a stream of fire composed of hundreds of gunfire suddenly flashed. The defense line formed by hundreds of mercenaries with submachine guns was too shocking, and Thomson's super rate of fire and strong firepower were exerted to the extreme by the mercenaries, and the 55th Wing, which was head-on, was immediately caught off guard.

"Throw grenades, throw grenades" The mercenaries who got out of the underground bunker shouted and threw the grenades, many of the mercenaries used the technique of delayed throwing in throwing grenades, and many of the grenades thrown by them even exploded on the top of the heads of the Japanese soldiers, and the scattered shrapnel made the lethality of the grenades multiplied. The flame of the submachine gun exposed the position of the mercenaries, and the machine gun fire of the 55th Wing's follow-up began to return fire, and the submachine guns and machine guns were not at the same level of firepower at all.

"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese grenadiers who moved with the forward troops also joined the battle against the mercenary defense line, and the grenadier grenades that landed from time to time caused great casualties to the mercenaries, and from time to time some mercenaries were hit by shrapnel scattered after the grenade exploded. Hundreds of mercenaries endured the invasion of gas and poison gas, and on the other hand, they had to grit their teeth to resist the Japanese attack, and the situation on the battlefield gradually began to tilt towards the Japanese army.

"Volley from Area 5, salvo from Area No. 5" The artillery observers under Yan Wudao endured the tears and snot smoked by the gas poison gas, and held the walkie-talkie to ask for help from the field artillery group in the rear. Before the Japanese arrived, the field artillery group had already marked the specific coordinates of the entire defensive position, and the No. 5 area mentioned by the artillery observer just now was the area of 20 to 50 meters outside the mercenary defense line. The entire mercenary defense line has reached a precarious point, and seeing that the follow-up Japanese troops have arrived, the anxious artillery observers do not care about the worry of accidentally injuring their own people, and urgently call for artillery support.
