Chapter 135: Stalemate

"I've always been a devil, and today I was calculated by a devil!" Wang Ping, who was frowning, said to himself.

Of course, although he was frightened by the accidents and changes on the front line, Wang Ping's eyes never left the battlefield from beginning to end.

The situation of the enemy has changed, and he must find a way to change the situation on the battlefield that is becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

Soon, Wang Ping began to give orders.

"The first battalion, the second company, and the third company, immediately contracted and blocked the Japanese counterattack for at least ten minutes! The third company of the second battalion also began to shrink its forces to block the Japanese counterattack for at least ten minutes! Artillery, immediately artillery strikes at the devils opposite the three companies, there are many recruits from the devils, only artillery bombardment can destroy their will to fight and reduce our pressure! ”

"One or two companies of the second battalion, strengthen the firepower output, end the battle as soon as possible, and then reinforce three companies!"

The headquarters of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City, as soon as the troops were attacked, Ono received a telegram, and then a smile of admiration appeared on his face.

Yes, it is admiration, admiration for Wang Ping's superb means and amazing courage.

He didn't expect that Wang Ping would really give him a way to do the opposite, letting go of his weaker lure troops and attacking the stronger follow-up troops.

Shock to shock, he was not in a hurry.

Although the tide of battle was going in the direction he least wanted to see, he had already prepared a contingency plan.

With a frown, he ordered to the chief of staff: "The cavalry brigade will set off immediately, kill the battlefield in the shortest possible time, and cooperate with the infantry to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army out of the mountain!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency General, we have arranged it so carefully, the Eighth Route Army out of the mountain will definitely be unable to escape, I will go and give an order, and you will wait for the good news to come back at the headquarters!" The chief of staff also did not expect that the situation of the battle would really develop according to Ono's inference. Confident, he replied with a compliment.

The cavalry brigade of more than 300 cavalry took only two minutes to fight out of the city gate, and then rushed towards the battlefield dozens of kilometers away.

At this time, the order of the regiment commander Wang Ping had reached the ears of the second battalion commander Zhang Yunshan.

Under the fierce blows of the two companies under his command, more than 300 devils and more than 100 people were pressed off the road.

Although it is difficult for these devils to have a chance to fight back, many of them are hiding behind corpses, or the fire of the Eighth Route Army on the hill is in a dead corner. For a while, the two companies couldn't help them.

If you attack rashly, more than a hundred devils will definitely be wiped out, but two companies will also suffer heavy losses.

After all, these devils on the highway have become more and more accustomed to the battlefield after the chaos just now, and the troops directly attack, no matter how powerful the firepower is, they can't avoid short-handed encounters. And the independent regiment, which has also just been expanded, is not good at hand-to-hand combat.

Therefore, as soon as the idea of direct attack appeared in Zhang Yunshan's mind, he was vetoed by himself.

But the regimental commander's order was here again, and the increasingly dense gunfire on both wings reminded him all the time: the battle must be quickly ended and the two wings reinforced.

Do you really want to force your way and fight with more than a hundred devils to lose both! Zhang Yunshan, who was distressed, thought with a frown.

At this moment, a grenade falling from the sky suddenly smashed on the road, blowing up the two devil corpses at the same time, the two devils hiding behind the corpses were also blown over, and they were directly blown up to a blur of flesh and blood, and they couldn't survive.

Zhang Yunshan slapped his head and said, "Why did I forget the grenades and grenades, and ordered the first and second companies to concentrate all the grenades in a row for me." ”

"Grenadier squad, aim at the road, shoot all the grenades we brought, and the others shoot with all their might, cover two platoons approaching the road, and blow them up with grenades!"

"Boom, boom, boom......" In a series of explosions, the highway where many devils were hidden was immediately blown up.

Five heavy machine guns, seven or eight crooked handles, plus more than a hundred rifles, fired with all their might, and the flying bullets were called a secret. Many bullets flew back close to the scalp of the devils, and as soon as they looked up, they would be shot in the head in an instant.

With such fierce firepower, coupled with the smoke of gunfire all around, I couldn't see the situation around me at all, and the devils hiding on the highway were blinded at once, and I didn't know what to do.

The officers and veterans who were still alive were not blinded, and they immediately understood that the Eighth Route Army, which had ambushed them, was definitely going to attack.

Despite the bullets flying overhead, they still ordered in their loudest voices: "The Eighth Route Army is about to attack, immediately counterattack, shoot in the direction of the Eighth Route Army, increase the firepower output, and be sure to block them!" ”

The stunned devil recruit finally reacted and prepared to shoot.

However, when there was no way to raise his head, and he couldn't even see the shadow of the Eighth Route Army, the so-called shooting was just raising the rifle from the bunker and not aiming, and shooting at the place where the Eighth Route Army's gunfire rang out.

The lethality of such a bullet can be imagined.

Facing these bullets that did not have any accuracy, Zhang Yunshan smiled, and the heavy expression that was still shrouded in his face just now was directly swept away. Then excitedly ordered: "A platoon will attack immediately, get close to the road, and smash all the grenades on your body out!" ”

"Comrades, follow me!" With a wave of their hands, two platoon commanders carrying a pistol in one hand and a belt full of grenades in the other, jumped out of the hiding bunker and bent down to the road.

Dozens of fighters, some skilled and some unfamiliar, followed behind the platoon commander and their respective squad leaders, and rushed to the highway with grenade bags.

Although in the process, there are still many people who are hit by the flying bullets, and then fall on the offensive road, crying for their lives.

There are also many recruits who are afraid of death and want to retreat.

At this time, the veterans and squad platoon commanders in the middle of the troops came into play and shouted loudly: "Comrades, all bend down and rush forward, with the help of terrain cover, don't stand up straight, that's death!" Follow your squad leaders and team leaders, and don't rush around! ”

"Don't be afraid, keep rushing forward, the more you are afraid of bullets, the more they like to find you!"

"If you are afraid of death, you will not participate in the Eighth Route Army, and don't forget the military law of our Eighth Route Army, those who retreat from the battlefield will be shot, and those who are cowardly will be engaged in military law!"

"Comrades, we can only survive if we rush forward, and we all continue to rush forward, do not hesitate. The more you hesitate, the easier it is to be targeted by bullets and die here! ”

"If you don't want to die, you have to continue to rush with me, we can only live if we destroy the devil, otherwise we will all be killed here by the devil!"

After constant mobilization and encouragement, the two platoons were still shrouded in the fear of going to war for the first time. But the pace of their attack did not stop.

It took nearly a minute for the two platoons to finally rush to the side of the road!

"Everyone scattered and threw grenades on the road, and smashed all the grenades they were carrying!" The two platoon commanders immediately ordered.

A round of more than 60 grenades smashed on the highway and exploded, and in the violent explosion, the more than 100-meter highway was quickly enveloped in even more intense gunsmoke.

Many devils were killed and injured in the screams, and lost their combat effectiveness.

The two platoons had no intention of stopping, and continued to smash grenades on the official road!
