Chapter 969: Grab the Weapon (First Update!) )
"Sir...... The Eighth Route Army has come over, and the offensive firepower is too fierce for us to withstand at all! "The devil machine gunner was suppressed to death, and he didn't even have a chance to raise his head, so he could only report to the military cao next to him.
Originally, there was a garrison of armored vehicles and a reinforced squad, but because of the sudden retreat order from the superiors, the reinforced squad directly became a combat detachment.
Although the armored vehicle also served as a fixed fire point next to it, it constantly fired forward. However, the firepower of the two machine guns in the front was limited after all.
More importantly, the Eighth Route Army knew that the machine gun in its hand could not help the frontal armor of the armored vehicle, so when attacking, all the firepower was concentrated on the dozen or so people who stayed in the position. As a machine gunner, he was stared at by the opponent's three machine guns from the beginning.
Jun Cao also hid behind the bunker and couldn't look up, and after glancing at his pocket watch, he shouted: "The task given to us by the commander is to hold this place for half an hour and retreat~ It's only been less than ten minutes, and the Eighth Route Army has been killed, how to defend it!" ”
Hearing this, the faces of the remaining dozen or so devils suddenly turned pale.
Not for half an hour, now they may not be able to hold out for even five minutes.
There is no doubt that they were all abandoned by their superiors, and in order to buy time for the main force to retreat, they were left here to drag the Eighth Route Army.
The faces of his subordinates were all in the eyes, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The commander's order must be carried out, and the position must be held even if he dies." Take out the grenades, prepare to fight melee with the Eighth Route Army, and fight with them! ”
The devil's last glimmer of hope was gone, and several people had desperate expressions on their faces.
But, in just a few seconds, these people became frenzied and excited.
Now that they know that they can't leave, they can calm down and fight hard. The spirit of bushido, and their most primitive beastliness, were struck out at this moment.
However, the attacking new regiment did not give them a chance to counterattack and struggle.
The Eighth Route Army, which rushed from all directions, took advantage of the throwing distance of the grenades and first smashed dozens of grenades emitting white smoke at them.
In the violent explosion, no matter whether the devil was lying on his stomach or crouching, he could not escape the attack of these fragments.
"Comrades...... Kill me, the devils who stayed in the barracks are destroying the weapons and ammunition they can't take away, those are ours, we must not let them blow up! "Occupying the Japanese position, Hong Ruijun, the commander of the guard battalion who led the team, raised his pistol and continued to rush into the station.
As for the armored cars on the position, when the fighters rushed over, they were directly blown into scrap metal by the devil machine gunners in the compartment!
The already small strength of the engineer wing was left behind by Lieutenant General Ito.
Twelve field guns, twelve heavy guns, six mountain guns, six infantry guns, twelve rapid-fire guns, as well as dozens of vehicles and a large amount of materiel and ammunition, these are all the equipment and supplies that the engineer wing will destroy next.
If the entire engineering wing were here, in ten minutes at most, these things would have been blown up to the ground.
However, the engineer wing in front of him was less than 200 people, not even 20% of the original number. What's more, the troops retreated too hurriedly last night, except for the 136th Wing, which brought a thousand catties of explosives, the division did not even bring a pound of explosives~
Just now, 1,000 catties of explosives were used up, and only half of all the materials were blown up.
As for the remaining materiel and ammunition, especially those artillery, they can only be destroyed by detonating the ammunition.
The idea of the engineer wing was very simple, block the muzzle with something, and then load the shell into the chamber, and the moment the cannon was fired, the shell could not fly out, and exploded directly in the barrel to destroy the artillery.
More than 100 people have been busy so far, and they have blown up four heavy artillery pieces and seven or eight mountain field artillery.
"Sir, the speed of blocking the muzzle of the cannon is too slow, especially the heavy artillery, it is difficult to find something to completely block the muzzle, so that the shells cannot fly out!" The squadron leader of the demolition squadron of the Engineer Wing reminded with a frown.
Especially after hearing the increasingly dense gunfire around him, the expression on his face became even more anxious!
As long as they blow up these supplies, weapons and ammunition, they can immediately retreat, catch up with the main force, retreat to Linfen together, and live.
However, once the Eighth Route Army is killed during the operation, everyone will definitely not survive.
After all, they are sappers, and many of them don't even have weapons for self-defense. In the face of the wolf-like pursuit force of the Eighth Route Army, there was only a share of being slaughtered.
"Da Da Da ......"
The face of the commander of the engineer wing also became solemn.
"Da Da Da ......"
As soon as he was about to speak, a series of gunshots close at hand reached his ears~
"Ah...... Baga ...... I got shot......"
Immediately after, a few screams sounded in his ears, and then he saw four subordinates clutching their chests and burrowing out of the bloody holes on the ground, with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army is rushing over......" The subordinate next to him pulled the shocked wing captain to the back of a nearby car compartment, and reported with panic on his face.
"I see it...... Everyone hurried up to blow up the remaining materials and ammunition, and directly blew them up with grenades, as many as they could, and then quickly retreated, catching up with the main force of the division, there were not many Eighth Route Army troops killed, and we still had a chance to retreat! The wing captain was also anxious, gritted his teeth and ordered.
The division had already killed a wing commander, and he didn't want to be the second wing commander to die in battle.
The adjutant next to him was most worried that the wing captain would let them fight here and send them to death.
In the Japanese army, although every soldier has been trained in the spirit of bushido for a long time, he is not afraid of death for the sake of the so-called emperor. However, among all the troops, the higher the level of education, the shallower the poison of the bushido spirit.
Among all the arms, the artillerymen, who must be questioned in order to be the most afraid of death, followed by the sappers, followed by the baggage soldiers...... As for the ordinary infantry and cavalry, they are the ones who are most poisoned by the spirit of bushido, and they are also the least afraid of death.
Therefore, as soon as he heard the order to retreat, the adjutant's tense nerves relaxed at once.
With a frown, he ordered: "Guard, protect the wing captain to retreat first, we will retreat after blowing up these equipment and ammunition, the wing captain must not have an accident!" ”
As soon as the wing commander left, the remaining sappers were also in a hurry, and very perfunctory threw grenades at the supply and ammunition boxes, as well as in the middle of the artillery.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as the dense explosion sounded, these devil sappers began to retreat, regardless of whether the artillery and supplies were destroyed in the explosion~
The adjutant also thought about it, and began to retreat with the troops!
"Comrades...... Rush with me, kill these little devils, and never let them blow up another artillery piece or a box of ammunition! Hong Ruijun looked at the artillery in the explosion area with a painful heartache and shouted loudly.
"Da Da Da ......"
In the dense gunfire, bullets chased after the sappers, further speeding up their retreat and increasing their panic.
