Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 262 In the decisive battle, the militia team rescued the field in time, and the number shocked both the enemy and us!
"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!—"

This time, the devil's bombing lasted for nearly half an hour, almost plowing the front position of the independent battalion three or four times.

The ground was devastated, there were scorched bullet craters everywhere, and the acrid gunpowder smoke filled the air, which couldn't disperse for a long time.

As soon as the shelling stopped, Kasahara Koizumi directly dispatched an infantry brigade, a total of more than 1200 people, arranged in a dense formation, and brazenly launched the first group charge towards the forward position of the Independence Battalion, which was also the last line of defense in Wangjiacun.

In the trenches of the front position of the Independent Battalion, the deputy company commander Zhao Bin and his soldiers crawled out of the cat's ear hole and various bunkers, all of them were disheveled and disheveled, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Check your equipment and get ready to fight! Light and heavy machine guns quickly enter the preset machine gun position, hurry up!" Zhao Bin gave an order, and the soldiers in the trench took action one after another.

The sound of guns being loaded, the sound of grenades colliding, the sound of water bottles colliding on the soldiers' waists, and the sound of footsteps all mixed together, indicating that the place was getting busy.

In the forward command post of the Independent Battalion, Xu Hailang, the deputy battalion commander and first company commander of the Independent Battalion, Zhao Hong, the instructor of the officer training class and the commander of the reserve company, and Shi Yichuan, the company commander of the logistics company, all discovered the large-scale attack by the devils.

Xu Hailang frowned slightly, and said to the two people on the side: "The devil is serious, it seems that the defeat just now has angered the devil commander! I'm afraid we won't be able to hold the ground just because of our company.

However, Wangjia Village has our quilt factory and arsenal, so there is no room for loss. Now I order your troops to go into battle, assist the frontier positions, and stop the Japanese army!In short, in one sentence, no Japanese soldiers are allowed to pass through! "

Zhao Hong and Shi Yichuan quickly stood up and responded, "Yes! Deputy Battalion Commander, don't worry, you're on the ground! If you want to take a step forward, the little devil will definitely pay the price in blood!"

……

The forward position of the independent battalion.

The Japanese army's attack speed this time was very fast, and they entered a distance of 500 meters in a short time.

Due to the large number of troops dispatched by the devils and the terrain restrictions, more than 1200 devils could not be completely dispersed, and many devils gathered together.

"Call me!" Zhao Bin ordered without hesitation.

500 meters, already within the distance of the firepower blockade of light and heavy machine guns. Although the rifle is inaccurate, it does not mean that it cannot be killed.

Moreover, ammunition is the last thing the independent battalion lacks right now, so there is absolutely no need to save bullets and bring the little devil closer before hitting.

Why use a bayonet when you can kill the enemy with bullets?

Zhao Bin fired first, and a stream of bullets poured out, causing streaks of smoke and dust to splash on the ground 500 meters away.

Two of the devils were hit directly, and their bodies shook and fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, more than 300 Eighth Route Army soldiers on the defensive position also opened fire one after another, pouring out a dense rain of bullets. There were gunshots all at once, and dozens of devil soldiers fell in a pool of blood in a blink of an eye.

The little devil was a little confused by the beating.

It's not that they haven't fought the Eighth Route Army before, but before that, the Eighth Route Army had never had such a luxury, and they opened fire directly from 500 meters away.

When fighting in the past, the Eighth Route Army would put them closer before fighting, and if the distance was a little closer, the Eighth Route Army would launch a countercharge and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.

And the firepower of the Eighth Route Army has never been so dense.

However, the 22nd Wing of the Devil Infantry is a well-trained unit after all, after only a moment of panic, it quickly calmed down.

Thousands of devils immediately spread out and concealed by relying on favorable terrain under the command of various grassroots officers.

At the same time, a Type [-] heavy machine gun was set up and fired one after another.

Although the First Company of the Independent Battalion had a geographical advantage, this time the Japanese army invested four times as many troops as them, and their firepower was very strong.

"Whoo, whoosh, whoosh!..."

Dense bullets flew back and forth between the enemy and us, and the devil's grenadiers also went into battle one after another.

Both the offensive and defensive sides were constantly being shot, and the casualties rose rapidly!
However, the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, and the quality of the machine gunners and grenadiers was also very high, and they quickly suppressed the firepower of the company.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devil infantry immediately yelled the slogans of "kill the chicken" and "onboard, onboard" and rushed forward.

Seeing is about to rush to the front of the position.

At the critical moment, hundreds of soldiers from the supply company and the reserve company finally came to support them, and they all opened fire one after another without stopping for a moment.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

"Da da da!"

"Crack, clap clap..."

In the entire frontier position, gunshots erupted in an instant, and dense bullets poured out like a rain of water, causing a large number of casualties to the devils who were charging intensively.

Countless devils were shot one after another, screaming and falling down in pieces.

However, the devils behind were still not afraid of death, charging forward one after another, and kept firing back.

The fierce battle between the two sides has become more tragic!
The entire battlefield was extremely noisy, shouts of killing, gunfire, and explosions resounded through the sky, and even the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood...

The Japanese attack position.

Kasahara Koizumi has been watching the offensive situation of the 1st Battalion. When he saw that the offensive troops were blocked again, his expression darkened immediately, and he scolded: "Order the Artillery Battalion to open fire immediately and provide fire support to the 1st Battalion!"

"Hi Yi!"

The devil's messenger nodded heavily, then turned around and ran to the artillery position not far away, and conveyed the order of the regimental commander Kasahara Koizumi to the artillery battalion.

Upon receiving the order, the Devil Artillery of the Artillery Brigade immediately opened fire and poured dense shells onto the defensive positions of the Independent Battalion.

This time, in order to resist the devils' attacking troops, the soldiers of the independent battalion were unable to enter the cat's ear hole anti-aircraft guns, so they could only lie down in the trenches, and were killed and injured by the explosion for a while.

Some soldiers were blown away by the blast wave.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the devils from the No. 1 Battalion immediately pressed forward. Although the soldiers of the Independent Battalion were desperately resisting, they could no longer stop their progress.

At the forward command post of the Independent Battalion, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Hailang witnessed this scene, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

He scolded the orderly next to him: "Send me the order, and all the artillery will go into battle!"

王承柱在率部去团部报道的时候，给根据地留了10门60mm口径的迫击炮，5门97式轻迫击炮，以及3门92式步兵炮。

This was Xu Hailang's last hole card. Up to now, they couldn't care less about it and could only play it out.

"Yes!"

The messenger promised, picked up the phone immediately, and conveyed Xu Hailang's order.
