Chapter 749: Victory in Sight? (First update!) )
There will be casualties in a war, Ma Dongyun still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in the field, and also overestimated the role of the trenches in the face of devils.
A single burst of shells and grenades fell, and the 10th Company, which had already suffered heavy losses, was almost blown up.
Fortunately, these recruits of the Tenth Company are all former anti-Japanese veterans, and they know that there will be no good results after being captured by the devils. Therefore, in the face of heavy casualties, no one chose to retreat and surrender, and they were all gritting their teeth and persevering.
"Company commander, there are more than twenty soldiers left in the company!" As soon as the devil's artillery fire was about to stop, the platoon leader reported with a calm face.
"Let's get ready for battle, gather all the grenades together, fight as we did just now, smash the grenades out in the shortest possible time, and after throwing the grenades, we will retreat, don't stay here for one more minute, our mission is complete!" ”
The platoon leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as they retreat, the few remaining people in the whole company will survive, and the platoon will not be wiped out on the battlefield.
More than a hundred devils, layer upon layer, rushed towards the mountainside like waves.
The devil was armed with six heavy machine guns, more than a dozen light machine guns, and the bullets were fired at the mountainside like no money. The fluttering bullets weaved an impenetrable bullet net above the heads of the ten companies, so that everyone didn't even have a chance to show their heads.
"Grenade ready!" When the devil was still more than forty meters away from the defense line, Ma Dongyun ordered.
"So fast?" The platoon leader couldn't help but remind.
"Company commander, throw the grenade out now, you won't be able to blow up the devil at all!"
"Our strength is not as good as half of what we were just now, and when the devils rush closer, we will not even have a chance to retreat. And this round of blocking is not about killing many devils. Ma Dongyun frowned and explained.
In fact, there was still a word in his heart that he hadn't spoken.
Throwing grenades now can form a belt of fire formed by grenade fragments in front of the devils, blocking all the devils in this line, bringing them together and maximizing the power of the heavy machine gun.
Because of the limited time, he did not explain in detail, and let his subordinates learn in battle.
"Throw grenades! Throw all the grenades out and retreat! Ma Dongyun ordered decisively, and threw the grenade in his hand.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Violent explosions quickly sounded in front of the position.
The devils were not far behind, mortars, grenadiers, desperately firing shells and grenades into the trenches.
The devil who was attacking, although he was in a hurry, was not so stupid as to continue to rush forward knowing that the front was to die.
Everyone stopped outside the grenade explosion area, waited for the artillerymen and grenadiers to blow up the Eighth Route Army exposed in the trenches, and then continued to rush forward and take the position of the Eighth Route Army in one go.
At the foot of the mountain, all the Japanese puppet troops were staring at the battlefield, especially Ida Shaoza, staring at the battlefield without blinking.
Whether he can block the Eighth Route Army before they slip away again depends on the attack in front of him. If you can't break through here, you have to stay here for at least twenty more minutes, which is definitely not the result that Ida Shaozo wants to see.
"Sir, it seems that the grenades thrown by the Eighth Route Army have become fewer!" The adjutant next to him shouted with excitement on his face.
"Order the troops to prepare for the attack, this time we must take the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front no matter what, and we can't delay here any longer!" A rare smile appeared on Ida Shaosa's tense face, and then he gritted his teeth and ordered.
At this moment, Ida Shaozo suddenly saw the attacking troops blocked in the middle of the mountain on the battlefield falling to the ground in pieces.
Because the whole battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire from devils, the heavy machine guns of the second battalion on the top of the hill suddenly joined the battle and did not attract too many people's attention.
It wasn't until more and more devils were killed that the devils found the three heavy machine guns in the direction where the bullets were flying.
"Yaga, the cunning Shina man, actually hid a heavy machine gun on the top of the mountain! Heavy machine-gun troops, immediately counterattack, suppress their machine-gun fire, cover the troops rush up, and kill them! The shocked Ida Shaozo felt that he had been tricked, and instantly turned into an angry lion, scolding and ordering.
Then he did not forget to add: "The artillery also counterattacked, and destroyed the heavy machine gun position of the Eighth Route Army on the top of the hill for me." ”
Xiao Yunshan didn't plan to use three heavy machine guns to fight the devil, it was to die.
After the three heavy machine guns were fired, the gunfire never stopped. Bullets fluttered, raining down on the devils.
After firing all the hundreds of bullets in the shortest possible time, regardless of whether the devils started to fight back or not, several machine gunners in a group began to retreat with heavy machine guns!
"Sir, the dirt eight roads that are in front of us have retreated!" A few minutes later, the squadron leader of the 1st squadron in charge of the attack hurriedly ran over, and then replied with his head down, his face was very unsightly.
Ida Shaozo can't manage so much, although he doesn't know the casualties of the first squadron, but he has seen the battle just now, and the casualties are definitely not small.
The troops paid such a large number of casualties, and if the Eighth Route Army was allowed to have it from under their noses, then they would have suffered a big loss.
Without thinking about it, he ordered: "Keep going, march forward quickly, kill the Eighth Route Army garrison first, block them and then talk about the rest!" ”
"Hey!" The squadron leader replied with a sigh of relief.
The Japanese puppet army, which lost nearly 100 people, continued to rush forward with murderous spirit.
"Sir, there is still a little more than a kilometer of grenade Eighth Route Army station!" After walking for almost an hour, the adjutant reminded with excitement on his face.
The winner is in sight! Ida Shaozo secretly thought in his heart, and a pair of eyes quickly shot out two fine lights, and then ordered.
"The troops are ready for battle~ If the Eighth Route Army has not been transferred, there will definitely be a tough battle waiting for us next!"
"Is there any contact with the command for air support!"
The adjutant hastened to reply: "Hi! The brigade command called back, and the aviation could arrive in an hour and a half at the latest, as long as we needed! ”
"Yo Xi!" Ida Shaosa's eyes became even hotter.
He decisively ordered: "The contact with the brigade headquarters cannot be broken, as long as we block the main force of the Eighth Route Army, immediately call for air support!" ”
"The troops continued to advance, and as soon as the infantry artillery squad arrived in the village, they arranged artillery positions outside the village of their own choice. Mortar troops, heavy machine gun troops, attack with the team, and fight to fight directly into the village! ”
Ida Shaoza, who was full of confidence, continued to rush forward with his troops, and when the forward troops could already see the entrance of the village, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out on the high ground next to the entrance of the village.
"There are troops blocking the entrance of the village, and the Eighth Route Army in the village must not have completely retreated!" The blocking troops that suddenly appeared not only did not disappoint and worry Ida Shaozuo, but dispelled the worries in his heart about whether the Eighth Route Army had slipped away.
With a frown, he ordered: "Artillery, concentrate your firepower and blow up that high ground for me!" ”
"The second squadron, the heavy machine gun squad, is ready to attack and go straight into the village."
The Imperial Allied Army then followed, and the First Squadron supervised the battle. All the troops of the Imperial Allied Army can only advance and not retreat, otherwise military law will be engaged! ”
Six mortars, two infantry guns, divided into two artillery positions, shells smashed into the high ground like money.
It didn't take long for the heights to be covered in the thick smoke from the explosion of the shells, and the flames mixed with a large amount of black smoke kept rising and dusty!
