my bright sword career

Chapter 446 Exhausted

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese attack is very fierce, and our third line of defense is about to fail!"

Looking at the staff officer with a desperate look, Xia Yuan Xiong Mi only felt a little dark in front of his eyes.

He has been in the army for more than 20 years and has been in China for five years. He has fought dozens of battles with various armies in China, but he has never seen such a fierce army.

According to his original idea, the three lines of defense he built could at least resist three times as many enemies for half a month, but what about now?In less than an hour, two lines of defense were lost in a row, and even the third line of defense was in jeopardy. Is this still the weak Chinese army in his eyes?
Of course, the 108th Division, as a horse-drawn division with four infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, with a combat strength of 1.8, even though the 132nd Regiment and the 117th Regiment suffered heavy losses, he still has two An infantry regiment, a field artillery regiment and a cavalry regiment, it cannot be said that they are completely powerless to fight back.

But the current situation is that the artillery fire of the Liantai militia is too fierce, and the Japanese field artillery unit is not its opponent at all. When the Liantai militia bombarded just now, the 108th field artillery unit tried to fight back, but their artillery just The firing was observed by the scouting balloons on the opposite side, and the counterattack artillery fire fell in less than 2 minutes. The more than 108 artillery pieces of the 30th Field Artillery Regiment were knocked out in one fell swoop, and the rest of the artillery pieces quickly slipped away in fright. Until now the artillery positions have not been re-established.

Xiayuan Xiongmi was very anxious for a while, and the sound of guns was getting closer and closer, which showed that the Liantai militia was not far from the division headquarters. The regiment launched a counterattack against the Chinese from the left and right flanks, and the cavalry regiment served as a reserve team, and once the Chinese were defeated, they immediately dispatched to pursue them."

"Hi!"

The staff officer shuddered in his heart, and quickly persuaded him: "Your Excellency, Commander, we won't have a reserve team in our hands. What should we do if something unexpected happens?"

"Now I can't take care of that much anymore." Xiayuan Xiongmi shook his head: "Furthermore, it will take less than an hour for the 11th Brigade to feel that when the 11th Brigade arrives, we can rely on our superior strength Eat up the Liantai militia who dare to offend us!"

"Hi!"

…………

"Ah! Kill!"

On the ground, Lu Xianping, who was rushing to the front line, yelled loudly and stabbed at the counterattacking Japanese army in front of him. The 98K rifle with a bayonet installed in the trench was difficult to deploy, so Lu Xianping had to remove the bayonet and hacked vigorously. Covered in blood like crazy, he held a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, hacking along the trenches against the counterattacking Japanese army.

When Lu Xianping's assault team broke through the third line of defense of the Japanese army and was chasing along the trenches, they collided head-on with the frantically counterattacking Japanese army. The continuous breakthrough allowed Lu Xianping's assault team to shoot out all the bullets from their submachine guns. At this time, they had no choice but to Don't use the most primitive way to push back the counterattacking Japanese army.

Lu Xianping and the others, who played smoothly at this time, completely ignored that the opponent's reinforcement reserve team was far more numerous than themselves. Instead, they would never retreat like the oath they made during the oath. The three of them rushed forward without hesitation against dozens of people. , Bayonets and sabers are their weapons.

At this moment, Lu Xianping's left leg was stabbed at some point, and the gun had already been thrown out. Lu Xianping, whose face was covered with enemy blood and minced flesh, was hacking like a madman with a bayonet.

When he cut the bayonet into the neck of a Japanese soldier, a bayonet stabbed him from the side. Lu Xianping tried to grab the opponent's bayonet with his hand, and the palm of his left hand was pierced instantly, while the bayonet in his right also stabbed into the Japanese soldier's neck.

At this time, a Japanese soldier rushed over with a [-]-style rifle, and stabbed Lu Xianping's body with a bayonet from the side. Lu Xianping, who was desperately slashing wildly, felt that his strength was pulled away from his body in an instant, and then he collapsed in the trench.

While lying in the trenches, hearing the shouts of killing getting closer, before losing consciousness, Lu Xianping's mother's teary eyes and the figures of his younger brothers and sisters appeared in Lu Xianping's mind.

The continuous shelling that lasted for more than an hour and the arrogance that had already defeated the 108th Division. Although the 108th Division had an advantage in numbers, the Japanese counterattack was so weak under this overwhelming attack.

Although the soldiers who survived the artillery fire still pulled the trigger and launched a fragile resistance when the Liantai militia launched an attack, the outcome was already doomed. It was futile, even if some officers led the remnants of the Japanese army to fight back frantically, it was impossible to change the overall situation.

Xiayuan Xiongmi spent a month building the three lines of defense, which were broken through in less than an hour. The 117th and 132nd regiments defending these three lines of defense were already blown up in the previous fierce bombardment. What was originally thought to be a brutal battle has turned into a battle of defeat.

When the six battalions of the Xinyi Regiment and the [-]th Battalion launched an all-out attack from two directions, what resounded through the sky were the roars of soldiers from the Liantai militia and the Xinyi Regiment...

"Great... We have captured all three of the devil's defense lines, Tuan Zuo... We have won the battle!"

In the observation post at the rear, the two staff officers looked at the position in front of which the blue sky and white sun flag had been planted.

"I saw it." Gao Hongming put down the binoculars, turned his head and ordered: "Order the [-]th Battalion to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and prepare for the devil's counterattack."

After waiting for a long time, Gao Hongming didn't hear the staff officer's answer. He raised his brows, "Senior Qiu... did you hear my order?"

The staff officer surnamed Qiu pointed to the front and smiled wryly: "Tuan Zuo...the devils have already started to counterattack."

When the Third Line of Defense Cup was breached, the 108th Regiment and 52nd Regiment of the Japanese Army were also ordered to arrive, preparing to drive out the Xinyi Regiment and the Liantai Militia while they were unheard of. Fall on the third line of defense.

"Machine guns...the machine guns are set up quickly... and shoot the devils out!"

Seeing a large black mass of Japanese troops attacking back, Leihuo roared loudly before he had time to catch his breath, but his answer was a helpless voice.

"The battalion commander... our machine gun is out of bullets." A machine gunner replied helplessly, shaking an empty ammunition belt.

"What's going on... Where's the submachine gun?"

"The submachine gun is out of bullets."

In the charge just now, the bullets were consumed too quickly, especially the MG42 machine gun.

A machine gun team consists of three people, who can carry 1200 rounds of ammunition during combat, but this amount of ammunition is far from enough for the MG42, which has a rate of fire of [-] rounds per minute. The bullets have already been exhausted.
