Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 74 Grenade Offensive

The fierce artillery fire and a grenade stunned the Japanese army in front of him on the spot.

The frontal enemy of the Seventh Company was a fairly complete squad of the Japanese army, with a total of 51 people. The squad leader was Lieutenant Fukuyama Zhenichi.

At this time, Fukuyama had not yet received the notice of the Eighth Route Army's full-scale counter-offensive. In addition, he had always despised the Eighth Route Army. When he saw the Eighth Route Army shrinking its defense line, he took it for granted that it was a retreat with insufficient troops, so he led the troops to suppress it without hesitation. go up.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army immediately gave Captain Fukuyama a few surprises:
The first accident was that he was blocked by the Eighth Route Army not long after going up, and the troops seemed to be larger than before, which showed that his previous judgment of "routing" was wrong.

At this time, Fukuyama felt strange. If the Eighth Route Army did not have a shortage of troops, why did it voluntarily give up its position?
Another accident was that he never thought that the Eighth Route Army would have such strong firepower, especially the Eighth Route Army in the west was always considered to be the weaker side. The occupied positions exploded...

The Fukuyama squad suffered heavy losses from this round of shelling: one of the two grenade launchers was blown up on the spot, the other shooter was killed and his deputy made up for it, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed or wounded.

A standard Japanese squad should be armed with three grenade launchers.

However, after the outbreak of the war, the Japanese army expanded too fast and the equipment production did not keep up, so in fact, each squad was only equipped with two grenade launchers or even less, especially for the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

This made Fukuyama feel guilty, because judging from the previous battles, once the Japanese army's grenade tube was destroyed by the enemy, it would be difficult to resist the enemy's tidal wave of attack.

Therefore, as soon as the gunfire passed Fukuyama, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to resist.

"Get up!" Fukuyama yelled at his subordinates: "The enemy is about to come up!"

However, it was not the "enemy" that came up, but the grenades that flew from behind the earth wall, the Type [-] grenade commonly used by the Japanese... The Eighth Route Army has been quietly approaching and lurking during this period of artillery bombardment. Grenade throwing range.

The Japanese army, who had just "refreshed up", suffered casualties again amid the sound of explosions.

This time, Fukuyama Zhenichi knew that this position could not be held, and only half of his team was estimated to have combat effectiveness.

How could Wu Lei on the opposite side miss this opportunity? He waved the box cannon in his hand and shouted, "Comrades, avenge the sacrificed comrades, rush!"

"Come on!" The soldiers jumped out of their cover one by one, shouting with bayonets and rushing towards the Guizi's position.

The Japanese army hurriedly stood up to resist, but where could they stop the Eighth Route Army, which rushed up like a tide, and soon fell to the bayonet one by one screaming in agony.

As soon as Fukuyama Zhen saw the situation, he ordered a row of grenades to be thrown forward, regardless of his subordinates and the wounded in front of him.

This is a common retreat method for the Japanese army, and they don't care if the grenade thrown will kill and injure their comrades.

In their words, it is: "In this case, if you don't do this, the imperial army will suffer even heavier casualties, so these sacrifices are necessary. If conditions permit, the soldiers in the front should take the initiative to set off their grenades to cover. The rest of the troops retreat!"

Life, in the eyes of the Japanese army, is a meaningless number.

As long as it is good for the war, they can do everything they can to destroy humanity, even for their own people.

This gave Fukuyama a moment to flee back to his original position with a dozen surviving subordinates.

However, Fukuyama soon discovered that the situation did not stop.

Before they could take a breath, the next wave of the Eighth Route Army's offensive came one after another, and the enemy rushed up like a tidal wave, also a row of grenades and then charged with bayonets...

Simple, crude, but very effective.

Fukuda Zhenyi felt that what he was facing was not the charge of the enemy, but the attack of the grenade round after round.

This tactic caught Fukuda by surprise, so he could only retreat again and again, until he encountered the Asano team who came to reinforce him.

Asano's first sentence when he saw Fukuda Zhenichi was: "The enemy has started a full-scale attack, and the Major ordered to stick to the spot and not to retreat!"

Only then did Fukuda Zhenyi understand: "Bastard, I thought they were retreating, but they fell into a well-planned trap!"

This is indeed the case. Qilian's tactics are actually very simple. They don't play street fighting with the devils, they play rough with the devils.

And after laying down a position, he didn't think about consolidating it at all, but directly followed the devil and launched another charge immediately, trying to stick to the enemy and not get away from him.

Because once the distance is opened to form a buffer zone in the middle, the devil's marksmanship, grenade, and synergy can be used again and again.

On the other hand, if you are always entangled in a hand-to-hand fight, you will be chasing and killing all the way, opening up and closing and exchanging life for life.

The Eighth Route Army is least worried about exchanging lives with the devils.

In fact, there is still a gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Devils in hand-to-hand combat, which is mainly manifested in physical fitness and stabbing skills, but these can be compensated for by the superiority of troops.

Wang Xuexin's bayonet was also bleeding.

It was a wounded Japanese soldier lying in the corner, clutching the wound in his abdomen, breathing hard, spitting out blood and looking at Wang Xuexin helplessly.

Wang Xuexin had not planned to stab him again.

On the one hand, this is because the Japanese army has lost the ability to resist, and it seems that he will die. Wang Xuexin thinks it is unnecessary.

On the other hand, Wang Xuexin has an inexplicable fear of hand-to-hand combat... This is much more difficult than pulling the trigger to kill an enemy from a distance. Although the result is the same, at least there is no need to face the enemy's painful eyes and distorted face. .

However, Wang Xuexin accidentally glanced and found that the right hand of the Japanese soldier was trying to take out the grenade under him...

Wang Xuexin was a little unbelievable.

The pitiful eyes of the Japanese soldier seemed to be showing weakness, asking for help, or even begging, but what he was doing was wanting Wang Xuexin's life.

Wang Xuexin didn't hesitate any longer. He shouted and stabbed the Japanese soldier with his bayonet in the chest... The blade stuck between the ribs, and the feeling of stagnation and the friction of the blade was transmitted to Wang Xuexin's heart along the gun. A chill welled up in his heart.

The Japanese soldiers didn't snort a single snort. They tried to arch their bodies in the direction of the bayonet, their legs twitched a few times, and they slumped to the ground like a deflated ball.

Wang Xuexin was a little flustered. He tried to pull out the bayonet twice but failed. In the end, he had to step on the devil's body to succeed.

This gave Wang Xuexin a sense of contempt for life.

Only later did he know that this was the correct way to draw the bayonet.
