under fire

Chapter 704
The firepower on the eight-way position has been strengthened again!

The second lieutenant was shot and the infantry lost command.

The artillery lieutenant's eyes were red, his head was aching and his mind was in a daze. For such a long time, the artillerymen only fired one outrageous shell!

The casualties of the warriors were not small, so he kept shouting orders, commanding the artillery to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and he had no time to ignore the infantry.

Maybe it's because the independent regiment is too weak. Except for firing artillery during training, a group of veterans have hardly fought a tough battle in the past few years, let alone nearly half of the recruits!

The infantry sergeant next to him quickly took over the command, shouted birdsong, and asked the warriors to take advantage of the cover of the car and lie on the road to fight back against the Eighth Route Army.

Amidst the rain of bullets, Sergeant Cao lay on the ground and watched through the binoculars. It was preliminarily estimated that there were not many troops in the Eighth Route Army.

In this wave of harassing fire from the Eight Routes, nearly half of the warriors were killed or injured, and only thirty or so rifles were still firing on the Eight Routes.

The heavy-fire machine guns and grenades were all destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. The artillery team only fired one shot and then there was no movement. At this time, the lieutenant was commanding the remaining two artillery teams. run on the ground.

The eighth road has arranged a sharpshooter, and the artillery had to retreat to the south to set up an artillery position in the open!

This completely avoids the eight-way precision shooting. The mortar is used as a curved gun, and the artillery observers report the parameters, and can easily bombard the eight-way position. This tactical arrangement is not good, but it is the most reasonable arrangement at present.

In Cao Changjing's mirror, people on the Eighth Road side were also shot and fell down. Even though most of his men were recruits from China, the well-trained warriors were by no means soft persimmons that Tubalu could pinch casually.

Sergeant Cao was a little aggrieved, and had to admit that the Eighth Route Commander was also a master!
Sergeant Cao is a veteran, and what really caused the imperial army to suffer heavy losses was the precision kills of the opponent's two machine guns and at least two or three rifles sandwiched between them!
Looking back, the Imperial Association Army returning to the defense in the south was finally approaching the position, and the heart that was in the throat was finally let go.

Another grenade flew into the air from the Eighth Route position.

"Concentrate firepower to destroy the remaining grenadiers and machine guns on the Eighth Road!" Sergeant Cao realized that he seemed to have missed something. After fighting for a long time, one of the two grenadier groups on the Eighth Route was still firing. They are throwing grenades on the position!

The eight-way grenade was unreliable. So far, it has not caused too much damage to the imperial army.

Li Xiang was in a hurry, he fired six grenades in a row, not even blowing up a devil's car!
The other soldier of the second company, who can handle the grenade, was shot in the chest at this time and was bandaging for first aid.

The driving rules of the Devil's car are on the left, and the fuel tank of the car is set on the left. At this time, the convoy is heading west, and the company led by Hu Yi is in the north. It can't take care of the fuel tank on the south side of the Devil's car.

The fuel tank cannot be leaked, and the sparks from the bullets cannot cause an explosion!

The tarpaulin on the car also became the hero of intercepting the grenade. The grenade that exploded on the tarpaulin could not cause too much damage to the car!
Another grenade hit the eighth car.

Coincidentally, the grenade got into the compartment through the gap in the tarpaulin.

I have seen the devil move shells from the car a long time ago, and the target of the grenade has always been this ammunition car.

The grenade fuze instantly ignites the explosive inside the bomb, and the explosive expands unscrupulously and violently. The gunpowder gas breaks through the grenade body and explodes violently.

The powerful shock wave and high heat caused the gunpowder in the boxes of mortar shells in the carriage to expand rapidly.

Even if the transportation insurance is not removed, the shells in the carriage will inevitably explode under high heat and shock waves.

Booming, booming, continuous loud noises suddenly sounded in the convoy, and the mushroom clouds that rose up due to the explosion attracted everyone's attention. The center of the mushroom cloud was red, and after rising into the sky, it began to fade, turn black, and finally turned into a gloomy black.

The powerful shock wave knocked the devils out of their wits in an instant. They turned their heads to look at the shattered car in horror, and most of them stopped shooting for a while.

Seeing that the puppet army is returning to defense in the distance to the south, it is meaningless to fight any further, and it will only increase casualties.

"Withdraw!" Hu Yi gave an order.

The platoon leaders of the first company immediately followed the order to retreat. Even if the soldiers were unwilling, they had no choice but to grab the bullet casings next to them, then got up and ran away.

No one asked why they didn't charge forward, obviously the number of devils left was running low.

Regardless of sacrifice or injury, more than [-] people were put on stretchers.

Nearly a hundred of the eight routes ran away, and the sergeant in command didn't dare to order the pursuit at all. Their task was to protect the luggage.

The puppet army finally returned to the position, but only saw a line of dust churning in the distance left by the eight roads when they were running, and they probably didn't even see the shadow of the eight roads clearly.

Sergeant Cao climbed into the car, held up the binoculars and looked around, and found that the eight roads to the south had also run away.

He jumped out of the car and wanted to find someone to slap him, but unfortunately the people next to him were far away.

After hesitating for a while, his hands were almost clenched with water, but in the end he did not order the Imperial Association Army to pursue him.

Who knows that these earthy roads will stop making a lot of noise?
The luggage was preserved and only one car was lost, and the wounded were immediately ordered to be admitted and the defensive position rearranged.

Sergeant Cao thought about it, called two of his subordinates, and gave some instructions. The two elites immediately ran northward, intending to follow this group of eight routes and find out where they were going.

Then send the messenger to the west to report the battle to the captain.

The scale of this battle was not too big, the imperial army actually died more than 20 soldiers, and more than [-] soldiers were seriously injured!
After everything was arranged properly, he ran to the injured second lieutenant.

The second lieutenant was shot in the chest and fell into a coma. No one knows if he will survive.

The military doctors accompanying the team set up a temporary field hospital in the village on the west side. After a simple bandage treatment, they quickly sent the Imperial Association Army to the field hospital for surgery.

The artillery lieutenant next to him was busy checking the South Cannon and watching the elites under him, and did not interfere with the sergeant's strict arrangements at all.

Inadvertently, he seemed to forget that he should be attacked, and called the friendly army through the nearby gun tower.

The entire battle process did not last more than 10 minutes.

The company platoon leader Zhao Tie rushed to Hu Yi's side, and Weng Sheng asked angrily: "Company commander Hu, I want to ask. Why didn't you charge when you had such a good opportunity just now?"

Hu Yi slowed down: "Are you directing or am I directing?"

Tie Dan was stunned for a moment: "Of course it's you, but I thought it was an opportunity just now!"

After Hu Yi finished speaking, he quickened his pace: "Then shut up!"

Tie Dan was stunned, and he often asked the company commander for advice, and the company commander would explain the reason every time, but he didn't expect Jiulian to be so unreasonable, he gritted his teeth, and still bit the bullet and asked the question: "We are fighting this battle. It’s meaningless, not only was it not seized, but even the soldiers didn’t have much ammunition left.”

Hu Yi didn't turn his head back, and only replied lightly: "Obey the order."

Tie Dan's face was flushed red. This battle was obviously not worth the loss. How could Hu be so emboldened?
Tang Dagou, who followed behind, felt good about himself, his performance was really eye-catching, shaking his dog's head, he was so handsome and cool!

Wen Wuquan, the newly recruited attendant...was looking at Wanbaxi vigilantly with a rifle in his hand.

Hu Yi was considered courageous when he took the captives to the battlefield, and he was not afraid that this guy would bark in front of the battle and reveal his true identity.

The dusty soldiers behind hadn't recovered from the excitement of the battle just now, bragging to each other how many devils they had caught in the battle just now.

"As soon as I shot, the devil immediately lay down and didn't see him for a long time. If he doesn't die, who will die?"

"Hey, I hit two, but unfortunately the devil has been rolling around on the ground"

"I'm still feeling my blood boil when Plato Leader Li blew up the devil's car."

"You mean you didn't fire a single shot, boy?"

"I handed the grenade to Lieutenant Li, and let me tell you, I handed the grenade that hit the car to Li Xiang."

"Company Commander Hu's machine gun is good, we can learn a lot of experience this time..."

"Which of us doesn't know that Company Commander Hu of the Independent Regiment is good at shooting machine guns. What can you say? What experience have you learned? Tell everyone."

"Rapid burst first, then precise burst, first hit the enemy's grenadier, then hit the enemy's machine gun, and finally deal with the enemy's mortar and shoot a shuttle to change places"

"You haven't seen Brother Big Dog's power, one shot at a time, and you haven't seen him let go. He can knock down at least twenty of them by himself!" Wen Wuquan couldn't help interjecting.

"Blow it, there are only about one hundred enemies in total, can he fight twenty by himself?"

"That's right, then what kind of bird are we shooting at number 100?"
