Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2241 A decisive attack!

"fire!"

Following Long Qianyan's powerful command, the eight guerrillas of the guerrilla team opened fire one after another.

They were divided into groups of two, and after setting the shooting angle, they began firing at full speed.

Several shells fired almost simultaneously, heading straight for the Japanese positions below the cliff.

  boom! boom! boom!

A series of loud noises were like the end of the world, and the Japanese positions shook violently under the impact of artillery fire.

The flames of the explosion instantly engulfed everything around, and the Japanese soldiers were blown to the ground in the blast, causing chaos.

Some of the Japanese were directly hit by the shells, their bodies were blown to pieces and blood and flesh flew everywhere; others were blown several meters away by the shock wave generated by the explosion, and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

The air was filled with the heavy smell of gunpowder and blood, and the screams of the Japs were incessant.

The guerrillas looked at the scene before them, unable to conceal their excitement. They continued to load bullets and shoot at the panicked Japanese.

The Japanese officers shouted to fight back, and some Japanese soldiers, after finding cover, prepared to shoot at the guerrillas on the top of the cliff.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the second round of artillery attack followed.

Duanwu said, fire rapidly and use up all the shells.

So the guerrilla fighters had no reason to be polite. Before the power of the first wave of explosions had dissipated, the second wave of artillery shells had already arrived.

boom! Boom boom!

The shells drew fiery tracks in the air and made a deafening whistling sound, as fierce as a storm.

Under such fierce artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers fell into chaos again. The Japanese soldiers who had been aiming their guns at the guerrillas on the cliff had no time to shoot and retreated behind the bunker like turtles.

The Japanese without shelter were in trouble. They had wanted to carry forward the spirit of the Japanese Bushido before, but now, they were like dogs that had lost their homes, looking for shelters everywhere.

But at this moment, shells were falling like raindrops.

  boom! boom!

Each explosion was accompanied by a strong shock wave and splashing of debris.

In the fire caused by the explosion, the Japanese once again felt what despair was.

Some Japanese soldiers shouted: "Where are our artillery? Artillery cover!"

But where was the artillery?

The artillerymen were busy running at the back of the team, and some of the Japanese carried grenade launchers but could not hit the enemy that far, and the enemy was on a cliff, unless they rushed over and fired at the enemy's guns.

But that was tantamount to suicide. The guerrillas' firepower was no worse than theirs. And it seemed even more powerful. There were at least four machine guns on the cliff that were continuously firing down. It was difficult for them to even rush over, let alone fire.

What's more, the enemy's artillery shells were thrown down like they were free. In this situation, if they still wanted to rush in front of the enemy and fire, they must have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

At the same time, the guerrillas would naturally not give the Japanese a chance to breathe.

As long as the Japanese opened fire or fired cannons, the majority of casualties would definitely be civilians.

So, they took advantage of the terrain and kept shooting at the Japanese. Machine guns, rifles, grenades and other weapons intertwined into a network of firepower, beating the Japanese to the point that they couldn't even raise their heads.

Under the cover of the guerrillas, the people of Sunjia Village finally no longer had to worry about the Japanese shooting at them and quickly climbed to the top of the cliff.

Kitahara Hiroyuki saw this scene from a distance with a telescope and frowned slightly. His vanguard troops were suppressed and they didn't even have a chance to shoot.

If this continues, once all the people in Sunjia Village leave, the guerrillas will also run away.

So Kitahara Hiroyuki immediately ordered: "Concentrate firepower immediately and build a heavy machine gun position near the villagers of Sunjia Village. Remember not to kill the people of Sunjia Village. With them around, the guerrillas will not retreat. Do you understand?"

"Hi!"

A messenger beside Kitahara Hiroyuki ran to pass on the message, and at this time, Adjutant Matsushita said: "It's really frustrating to see Ye Xiuwen's command again!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki nodded and said, "This man's command ability is indeed outstanding. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. According to my guess, although the guerrillas have seized a lot of our weapons and ammunition, we will definitely not support them fighting like this.

So they were willing to use up all their ammunition to save these villagers."

Matsushita said in confusion: "It's not worth it to do this. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the guerrillas should have no connection with Sunjia Village."

Kitahara Hiroyuki sneered, "The Chinese are too soft-hearted. Especially the guerrillas, they would rather die in battle than protect the civilians who are useless to the war. So as long as we hold back the people of Sunjia Village and the guerrillas, we won't evacuate. I'm even thinking about calling in bombers to bomb the guerrillas and the people of Sunjia Village."

Adjutant Matsushita nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. Kitahara's idea is very good. Should I ask the signalman to send a telegram?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki waved his hand and said, "Didn't you see that Jiujo Gongbei also seemed to be interested in Ye Xuwen? I don't think he wants to do this. So we don't need to do anything unnecessary, we just need to delay the guerrillas."

Matsushita complained: "If there is no Kujo Miyakita, Your Excellency will be able to command more easily!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about Kujo Miyabi. There are many people who are willing to use your handle to show their favor to Kujo Miyabi. Do you understand?"

"Hi!"

Matsushita bowed to express his gratitude, and also realized how stupid he had just been.

However, at this moment, the large forces of Kujo Miyakita and Nakajima arrived.

Kujo Miyamoto shouted excitedly: "Where is Ye Xiuwen? Where is he?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki rushed over and said, "That Ye Xiuwen is on the top of the cliff. I am trying to stop the villagers from climbing up the cliff so that the guerrillas will have no chance to retreat."

"Yoohee!"

Jiujo Miyakita was very satisfied, but when he saw the battle situation ahead, he frowned slightly. Because the Imperial Japanese Army was being suppressed by the guerrillas, only a machine gun position consisting of more than 20 people was firing at the villagers of Sunjia Village to prevent them from climbing up the cliff.

He was just about to praise Kitahara Hiroyuki. After all, Kitahara Hiroyuki played an indispensable role in keeping the villagers under the cliff under such powerful firepower of the enemy.

But he didn't expect that the next second, the machine gunner at the heavy machine gun position suddenly tilted his head back and fell directly into his sight.

Jiujo Miyakita's eyes widened in disbelief. At this time, Nakajima beside him said in shock: "The machine gun position is more than 500 meters away from the cliff, but the opponent's shooting skills can hit the head with one shot. How confident are they in their shooting skills?"
