Chapter 411: Death Battle!! (continued)
"Yaga... Reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army must have arrived... Warriors, rush. Rushing forward is victory, kill and give..."Seeing more than a hundred grenades flying towards him quickly, the squadron leader knew. Now his only chance is to charge, as long as he rushes forward for another ten meters, he can throw the grenade into the trenches of the Eighth Route Army, and at that time, victory is really within reach. Thinking of this, the squadron leader immediately accelerated his own charge. At the same time, he shouted an order to the soldiers in front of him.
"Boom, boom, boom...", although the squadron leader launched a charge at the forward position of the Eighth Route Army in front of him at his fastest speed. However, no matter how fast he was, he could not move faster than a grenade could fly through the air. Just as he had just rushed out of less than five meters, a dense grenade explosion sounded in his ears. At the same time, his body was also pushed violently in an instant, and he fell on the way to the charge. A tingling pain came from his back, and then he slowly lost consciousness...
In the end, the 3rd Squadron of the Chinese Army, under the fierce blows of reinforcements from the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company, never rushed to a distance of less than 20 meters from the position. In the dense explosion of grenades, the entire army was finally wiped out, and no one survived. Of course, all the jade fragments of the third squadron of the Yue Army also caused a lot of casualties to the first battalion and three companies that had just been reinforced.
Because, although under the desperate resistance of the remnants of the third company and the first and second two companies, there were still dozens of little devils of the third squadron, who luckily rushed into a distance of only twenty meters from the position. And facing the forward position of the Eighth Route Army that was close at hand, I listened to the constant sound of grenade explosions around me. These little devils before they died, without any hesitation, quickly threw one grenade after another into the trench where the soldiers were hiding.
Amid the explosion of dozens of grenades, the soldiers hidden in the trenches lost nearly 100 troops in just a blink of an eye. In the face of such huge losses, the arrival of reinforcements did not provide much support to the fighters who held their positions. And the surviving fighters of the entire forward position were once again maintained to a strength of 100 people.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is very cunning... My two squadrons..."I watched my two elite infantry squadrons all shattered in front of the position of the Eighth Route Army. Looking at the battlefield on the hillside where almost an entire layer of the corpses of the Imperial Army soldiers was covered, the captain Matsuda Shaosa shouted at the sky with an angry face while being shocked.
"Your Excellency, although the elite imperial army of our two squadrons, all the jade is shattered in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. However, from the course of the battle just now, it can be found that the Eighth Route Army on the mountain has almost lost its combat effectiveness in a series of battles. What's more, during the attack of the third squadron just now, dozens of grenades were thrown into the trenches by the heroic Imperial soldiers. Therefore, at this time, the Eighth Route Army on the forward position was not only very tired. More importantly, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Your Excellency Captain, as long as we order the Fourth Squadron to continue the attack, we will definitely be able to take the forward position of the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop" and destroy the remaining troops of the Eighth Route Army on the position. Looking at the captain with an angry face in front of him, the deputy captain, Captain Suzuki, hurriedly said his suggestion.
"Yo Xi, warriors of the Empire, Suzuki-kun is very right. The Eighth Route Army on the mountain, under the fierce attack of my second and third squadrons, is already in a state of danger, as long as our fourth squadron continues to attack, with one blow, it will definitely be able to completely crush the Eighth Route Army on the position, annihilate them, and avenge the imperial warriors whose jade was shattered in their hands...."After listening to the advice of the deputy captain, the captain Matsuda Shaozuo, who was still full of anger just now, immediately showed a trace of edge in his eyes. Two hundred soldiers shouted loudly to the 4th Squadron, which was lying on the ground beside them, suffering blow after blow, and had little morale.
"Annihilate the Eighth Route Army and avenge the warriors of the jade shatters... Revenge..."Suddenly, after listening to the words of the captain, the little devil who had just been demoralized because of the annihilation of the two squadrons immediately roared loudly to the sky under the encouragement of Matsuda Shaoza, venting the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Yo-shei, you are true Imperial warriors... Warriors, today, we will use the blood of the Eighth Route Army to wash away the shame we received and avenge the broken imperial warriors. Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor... Kill and give..."Looking at the high morale of the soldiers around him, the captain Matsuda Shaoza was also full of excitement. He quickly took off his upper military uniform and tied the white strip of cloth that symbolized his samurai status to his forehead. At the same time, waving the command knife in his hand, he was the first to rush towards the forward position of the Eighth Route Army.
"Long live the Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor, kill and give..." The two hundred little devils of the fourth squadron immediately followed suit. Shirtless, holding up the bayonet in his hand, he followed closely behind the captain and launched a decisive charge to the forward position of the Eighth Route Army outside Baimi.
More than 200 little devils, under the cover of a large number of grenadiers and light machine guns, rushed to the forward position shirtless... The earth-shattering shouts of killing had already reached the ears of the soldiers who were in the trenches and resting and replenishing their strength when the army had just charged.
"Battalion commander, the third round of the little devil's attack has begun. Looks like the little devil is going to fight with us? Looking at the shirtless little devils, the instructors lying in the trenches, said to the battalion commander beside him.
"Comrades, there are already more than 500 little devils who died in our hands today. Destroy more than 500 little devils, our battalion is already enough. Now the little devils have begun to attack again, and it is clear that they are ready to fight us desperately. Therefore, everyone picked up their courage and let these little devils know that our Eighth Route Army's reading division is powerful....all of them are ready, ready for battle, and open fire freely..."Looking at the tired soldiers in the trenches, the commander of the first battalion shouted loudly. At the same time, pick up a rifle and start shooting..."Da Da Da... Bang bang bang..."In an instant, all kinds of gunfire rang out on the forward position, and the bullets flew one after another, constantly killing and injuring the little devils who were getting closer and closer. However, under the suppression of the intensive fire of the light machine guns of the Yue army, although there was the cover of the trenches, the casualties of the soldiers were obviously much larger than those of the Yue army.
Just as the army was about to come within range of the soldiers' grenades, less than fifty imps fell on the way to the charge. On the other hand, the battalion on the forward position, which was still able to move and continue the battle, was left with only about one platoon of fighters, and everyone was wounded..."Comrades, the time has come for a final fight with the little devils. Listen to everything, put on the bayonets, and after all the grenades left in the battalion are gone, they will engage in hand-to-hand combat with the little devils. In a word, as long as there is still a gasp in our battalion, the position must not be lost... Throw grenades..."Looking at the dozens of soldiers cowering in the trenches, the commander of the first battalion held back the tears in the corners of his eyes and ordered loudly. At the same time, grab two grenades, pull the strings ... Without even looking, he threw himself out of the trench ... Although at this moment, the arms of the warriors, after continuous battles, are very sore, and there is hardly a trace of strength. However, when he saw his comrades-in-arms around him, who had long since lost a trace of breath, he immediately became angry in his eyes. From the grenade box beside him, he took out one grenade after another and threw them outside the position, one after another..."Boom, boom, boom..." Suddenly, the entire periphery of the forward position suddenly sounded a continuous explosion. Most of the remaining squadrons of the army were immediately killed and wounded in the rain of grenades that continued to explode. However, in less than a minute, all the remaining hundreds of grenades on the entire forward position were wiped out... Without the threat of grenades, a squad of imps who survived the grenade rain. Immediately he got up from the ground, took his weapon, and launched a final attack on the position that was close at hand. At the same time, the dozens of remaining soldiers on the position, under the command of the commander of the first battalion, were ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army with their rifles in hand-to-hand combat.
"Comrades, rush... Even if you die, you have to pull a cushion on your back... Kill the little devil..."Looking at the little devil who was getting closer and closer, the first battalion commander's face showed a trace of madness, raised his big knife, which he hadn't used for a long time, and was the first to rush towards the little devil unit that was getting closer and closer.
"Kill the devil... "From an instructor to an ordinary warrior." As long as the soldiers on the position were still able to continue fighting, they all followed closely behind the battalion commander, let out an earth-shattering roar, rushed out of the forward position, and launched a charge against the little devils who were getting closer and closer.
"Kill..."The battalion commander brandished the big knife in his hand, roared, and slashed at the captain Matsuda Shaozo, who was rushing to the front of the army. A burst of swords flashed, and what the battalion commander didn't expect was that the commander of the army in front of him was able to block his own knife. Looking at the commander of the Yue Army, who also showed an incredible expression in front of him, the commander of the first battalion knew that he had encountered a strong opponent today..."Kill..." Seeing that his sword was blocked by the Yue army. The commander of the first battalion did not hesitate, with the help of his speed of sprinting from top to bottom, the edge of the knife was crooked, and a spark was drawn at the wound of Matsuda Shaoza's command knife, and he quickly slashed towards the handle of the command knife, trying to make Matsuda Shaozo in front of him put down the weapon in his hand. Otherwise, Matsuda Shaoza's hands, under his own knife, even if they are not cut off, will lose their combat effectiveness forever.
"Yaga... The cunning Eighth Route Army..."When feeling the huge power brought by the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, Matsuda Shaozo also put the Eighth Route Army in front of him at the same level as himself for the first time, and did not dare to despise it at all. Therefore, for the every move of the battalion commander in front of him, he observed it in his own eyes.
When you see the sharp edge of the big knife, you quickly slash towards the hilt of your sword. Matsuda knew that it was time to make his own decisions. For his own life, in order to be able to destroy the Eighth Route Army in front of him. Matsuda Shaozo reluctantly gave up the command knife in his hand. At the same time, a backward roll quickly disengaged with the battalion commander in front of him, preparing for a new battle.
At the same time, just as Matsuda Shaoza was rolling back, a fallen soldier's rifle was quickly picked up by Matsuda Shaosa... In an instant, the commander of the first battalion, who had the advantage just now, immediately came to naught because of Matsuda Shaozuo's initiative to give up. The two evenly matched commanders were standing on the battlefield, holding up the weapons in their hands to confront each other..."Kill..."Kill..."Kill..."After a few seconds, a shout of killing sounded from the mouths of the two people at the same time. Matsuda Shaoza held up the bayonet in his hand, and stabbed at the lower abdomen of the battalion commander in front of him with his fastest sprint speed. At the same time, in the face of the bayonet that quickly stabbed at his lower abdomen, the commander of the first battalion immediately put away the big knife that was about to cut at the neck of the commander of the army, and with a turn of the blade, he slashed at the rifle in Matsuda Shaozuo's hand.
"Bump..."A piercing crash sounded, as the commander of the first battalion tried his best. The rifle in Matsuda Shaozuo's hand was actually cut into two pieces alive by the big knife in the hand of the first battalion commander. And in Matsuda's incredible eyes, the blade of the first battalion commander changed angles again and slashed at Matsuda Shaosa's neck, who had not yet reacted from the shock..."Ah... Yaga..."A scream sounded, and Matsuda Shaosa, who was evenly matched, lost his life because of a bad quality rifle in his hand. A round head, under the slash of the big knife, flew a few meters away, and fell to the ground..."Kill..."Matsuda Shaosa's death, the first battalion commander did not have any joy. Because, around themselves, there are still a large number of little devils who have not been eliminated. Looking at the soldiers on both sides who were tearing each other apart, the commander of the first battalion immediately threw himself into a new battle. With the battalion commander's big knife, there were bursts of blood rain on the position, cutting off the heads of the little devils. The soldiers on the position, immediately under the leadership of the battalion commander, had high morale and fought more and more fiercely.
On the other hand, the remaining dozens of little devils saw that their captain was beheaded alive by the Eighth Route Army covered in blood in front of him. The morale of the entire army fell to the bottom in an instant. Under the frantic counterattack of the fighters, one by one fell under the bayonets of the fighters.
In the end, the little devils of a small squad that rushed to the position lost two-thirds of their troops. The remaining dozen people, under the command of the deputy captain Captain Suzuki, quickly left the battlefield and retreated back to their starting position in embarrassment. As the last little devil soldier on the battlefield fell in a pool of blood, the entire forward position immediately fell into silence.
"Is there anything alive, and the living will be reported immediately?" Finally, a few seconds later, a roar rang out from among the pile of corpses. The battalion commander, who was already covered in blood, slowly stood up from the pile of corpses of both the enemy and the enemy, holding a large knife that had been cut out by himself.
"The commander of the first company, Wang Dafu....the commander of the fourth platoon of the second company, Lu Jiahan... Zhou Bin, the instructor of the third company, and Wang Degui, a soldier of the first company..."As the roar of the first battalion commander sounded, in the middle of this corpse, a report immediately sounded. One by one, the cadres and soldiers, covered in blood, turned over the corpses beside them and slowly stood up.
"Well, the comrades are all good, we lived up to the expectations of the regimental commander, and our first battalion held the position. Let's go, go back to the defense hole, we didn't die in such a tragic fight just now, we died in the hands of the little devil shells for no reason. "I saw 12 cadres and fighters scattered before the full. A smile slowly appeared on the face of the first battalion commander, and he ordered loudly to the 12 surviving people.
Because, in his eyes, as long as there is still one person alive in his battalion, there will be no annihilation of the whole army, and there will be the possibility of reconstruction. This has greatly exceeded his initial expectations, can you not make the first battalion commander happy....After receiving the order, 12 commanders and fighters plus 13 battalion commanders supported each other and entered the anti-artillery hole, preparing to avoid the possible retaliatory artillery bombardment of the army... At this time, the commander of the army, Ishiguro Daisa, who was the commander-in-chief of the entire battle, was indeed stunned to look at the battlefield not far away, which was filled with gunsmoke. He couldn't believe his eyes, an elite infantry brigade of his own, an invincible elite infantry brigade, under the cover of a large amount of heavy firepower, could not even take a forward position of the Eighth Route Army. What made the wing captain even more incredible was that not only could he not take the opponent's position, but also ended up with the annihilation of the entire army.
"Yaga... How is it possible, how is this possible...."It wasn't until a minute later that the stunned Wing Captain Ishiguro Daisa muttered these words to several officers beside him.
"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the 1st Brigade is with the exception of some heavy machine gunners and grenadiers. Only a dozen remnants of the deputy captain, Captain Suzuki, retreated from the position. I don't know what His Excellency Wing Commander intends to do with them. Looking at the dozen or so soldiers who had withdrawn from their positions in embarrassment and completely lost the face of the Imperial Army, the chief of staff asked with disdain.
"Baga, they are not the warriors of the Great Imperial Army, and there are no such cowards in the Imperial Army of the Great Imperial Army. The order was given, and more than a dozen soldiers from the deputy captain Captain Suzuki and below were all disemboweled, and apologized to His Majesty the Emperor in order to wash away their shame. The rest of the troops were all integrated into the wing guard squadron. Listening to the chief of staff's question, Wing Commander Ishiguro Osa couldn't help but be annoyed, and ordered hatefully to the chief of staff in front of him.
"Hey, Your Excellency, Wing Commander—" the Chief of Staff turned and took the order.
