Chapter 244: A Powerful Assault
"Baga, how can there be so many Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain, where did they come from. More than 600 elite imperial troops were beaten to only 200 people, and it was only more than half an hour later, how did they do it? The stunned team leader couldn't help but exclaim.
The battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army next to him was also panicked, and directly reminded: "The garrison on the top of the mountain has already rushed towards us, and the Eighth Route Army is following behind them, they must want to follow the Imperial Army and directly attack our position!" Captain, you have to be ready! ”
"Immediately draw a company from the front, and then transfer three machine guns, ready to meet the imperial troops retreating from the top of the mountain, and block the Eighth Route Army behind." The squad leader commanded decisively.
The closer the Japanese troops retreated from the top of the hill to him, the more they understood the bad situation on the battlefield.
With a force of less than two hundred men, there is no trace of the imperial army in them.
It's like a lost dog, very embarrassed to run here.
The Eighth Route Army following behind was like a hunter chasing prey, unstoppable.
And as the gunshots continued to sound on the battlefield, the imperial army, which was at the end, kept getting shot and falling on the way to retreat.
The squad leader could hardly believe his eyes, but he still resolutely ordered: "Get ready to answer immediately!" As soon as the imperial army in front entered the position, we opened fire to block the pursuit of the Eighth Route Army behind! ”
Finally rushed to the third line of defense, nearly 200 Japanese troops at this time there was less than an infantry squad.
In the face of the comrades-in-arms who were close at hand, the remaining Japanese soldiers who were still alive, everyone showed a surprise on their faces for the rest of their lives.
But they didn't know that Zhang Yunshan, who was chasing them behind, also showed a smile on his face at this time, and it was a smile of victory.
The reason why these devils were able to escape here alive under the strafing and killing of more than a dozen machine guns was not their luck, but Zhang Yunshan's deliberate doing.
If it weren't for the dozens of devils in front of him to lead the way, it would have been impossible for him to rush to fifty or sixty meters near the third line of defense without being attacked.
Seeing that the devil was about to flee into the defense line, Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered.
"Comrades, these devils are useless! Boost your firepower, speed up, rush up, take them out, and fight your way through the third line of defense. ”
"Da Da Da!" A dozen machine guns were no longer kept, and they were fired together.
The tongues of fire formed by countless bullets are like a reaper of death, harvesting devils to their heart's content.
Many little devils still had a happy smile on their faces for the rest of their lives, and the bullets that flew over knocked him into a sieve.
Not only that, but because of the accelerated speed of the pursuit, the distance of more than thirty meters was shortened to twenty meters in just a few seconds.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they must want to take the opportunity to enter our position!" The sudden and fierce fire suddenly woke up the team leader.
Looking at the decreasing imperial army in front of him, he shouted very anxiously: "Quickly retreat in, speed up, the Eighth Route Army is about to rush over!" ”
"The machine gun will fire immediately and block the Eighth Route Army behind!"
"Dada...... Bang Bang Bang! The Japanese puppet troops on the position also panicked and immediately shot back.
Because the firing distance was too close, the second battalion, which was caught off guard, lost more than a dozen people at once.
"Two machine guns overwhelm the enemy with one machine gun, kill them, and the riflemen throw grenades and blow them up!" Zhang Yunshan, who was attacking with the team, decisively ordered.
For Major General Ono, the key to holding the third line of defense was to hold the hilltop heights. As long as the high ground is in your hands, the third line of defense is worry-free.
That's why Ono drew a full six hundred imperial troops from the tight troop.
As for the less important mountainside defense line, Ono only symbolically arranged an infantry squad and a battalion of the Imperial Army, all of which combined were only six machine guns.
Three remained on the front, facing the fourth line of defense of the Separate Regiment.
The remaining three were transferred here to block the pursuers of the second battalion.
However, the second battalion was equipped with more than a dozen machine guns, and in terms of firepower and strength, it was several times that of the Japanese puppet army that was blocking it in front of it.
What's more, the second battalion had already rushed more than forty meters in front of them, and it was still condescending.
As soon as the machine gunners turned their guns and began to counterattack, the three machine guns in the hands of the Japanese puppet army were dumbfounded, and six or seven machine gunners fell next to the machine guns and were beaten into a sieve.
"The machine gun can't be heard, the secondary shooter immediately rushes up and continues to shoot!" The squad leader was well aware of the importance of machine-gun fire on the battlefield and shouted.
However, no matter how many people rushed over themselves, they could not break through the fire interception of a total of six machine guns.
Soon, a whole circle of corpses fell around the three machine guns.
"Baga, it's a grenade, captain be careful!" Just when the team leader was getting more and more anxious, an exclamation suddenly sounded behind him.
Then the team leader was thrown to the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom......" followed, and a violent explosion sounded in the ears.
Even though he was lying on the ground and there was a person behind him to protect him, the team leader could still feel the scorching waves of air constantly sweeping towards him.
By the time the team leader reacted and pushed away his subordinates lying behind him, he had turned into a corpse, with blurred flesh and blood.
"Baga, fight back immediately and block the Eighth Route Army! Throw grenades, counterattack with grenades, and blow up these Eighth Route Army! The subordinate who saved his life died like this, and the squad leader became angry at once, like an angry lion, roaring and giving orders.
The Eighth Route Army, which was not in the range of grenade kills just now, rushed forward for nearly ten meters and entered in one fell swoop.
Dozens of grenades smashed over, rushing to the front of more than a dozen people, and they were directly blown up without even having a chance to react.
"Don't rush forward, just kill the devils with firepower here, and kill them all from a high position!" Zhang Yunshan reacted immediately.
With the advantage of the condescending terrain, as long as the troops no longer rush forward, it is impossible for the grenades thrown by the Japanese puppet army to threaten themselves.
In addition, his strength and firepower are several times that of the Japanese puppet army in front of him, so he can completely suppress them and harvest his life as much as possible.
"Da Da Da!" The dense bullets continued to harvest the lives of the devils on the defense line, and the grenades emitting white smoke continued to fall from the sky, smashing and exploding around the devils like rain.
The already small strength of the Japanese puppet army was drastically reduced under the unilateral massacre of the second battalion.
Soon, the team leader realized that there were not many people around him.
And even the subordinates who were alive were frightened at this time, lying on the ground motionless.
"If you send another company from the front, you must block the offensive of the Eighth Route Army. The general already knows what we are doing here, reinforcements will arrive soon, hold on to me! The anxious squad leader shouted.
Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the second battalion, was not in a hurry, anyway, the lights were blind at night, and in a short period of time, the Japanese army could not fire artillery in the mountains and fields, and the planes could not come over, and all the advantages were on his side.
The more the Japanese army comes, the more it will destroy itself, and there will be no harm in all benefits!
