Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 278 The 4th Brigade of Devils was hit hard, and the Independent Battalion won a big victory
"Puff puff puff!—"

As Wang Chengzhu's arm swung left and right, the dense bullets poured towards the charging devils in a fan shape with a very low impact point.

With a short distance of less than 30 meters, the bullets came so fast that the devil soldiers had no time to dodge and were hit one after another.

Sanada Haruki, who rushed ahead, naturally also bore the brunt of being the target of Wang Chengzhu's attack.

A few bullets easily pierced through his chest, and then directly penetrated his body, leaving bowl-sized blood holes on his back, and his internal organs were blown out.

Due to the short distance, after the bullet pierced Sanada Haruki's body, although the kinetic energy was reduced, it was not completely lost. Instead, it shot into the body of the devil soldier behind,

After Sanada Haruki was shot, his forward steps stopped abruptly, and then he lowered his head with difficulty, looked at his pierced body, and fell heavily to the ground.

The old devil had an unbelievable expression on his face. To the end of his life, he couldn't figure out why the imperial army's poison gas bombs didn't kill the Eighth Route Army in the front position.

The killing did not stop with the death of Haruki Sanada.

The sound of Wang Chengzhu's gun was an order. Almost the moment he fired, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion also stood up from the trenches one after another, and then pulled the triggers one after another, shooting angry bullets not far ahead. The ghost soldiers here.

Some bombers even pulled the fuse of the grenade, then swung their arms round, and threw it out viciously.

Amidst the deafening gunshots, the smoke-filled grenades looked like dumplings. After spinning a few times in the sky, they scrambled to land among the crowd of devils.

Accompanied by a series of violent explosions, these grenades also completed their mission...

At this moment, Nishiyama Masao was standing at the original high point, holding up the binoculars, watching the attack of his subordinates with a stern expression.

When he saw that the soldiers of the attacking force were about to capture the forward position of the independent battalion, the expression on the old devil's face immediately changed, replaced by a smile, a look of determination to win.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunshots and explosions in front of him, and then the old devil saw his soldiers fall down one by one.

The smile on the old devil's face froze immediately, and then he scolded in surprise: "Baga! What's going on? Why is there such a fierce firepower on the ground of the Zhina Tuba Road?"

The face of the Chief of Staff Tada Ichiro next to him also became extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a few catties of stool: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, this is unscientific! It stands to reason that the poison gas bombs of the imperial army are enough to cause destruction to the enemy on the opposite side." Sexual lethality! Why does it look like their firepower has not weakened!"

"Not only that, but their firepower seems to be much stronger than before. Could it be that they are haunted?"

Nishiyama Masao is a fanatical militarist and an atheist. He obviously doesn't believe in ghosts.

But he couldn't figure out where the problem was.

At this time, a combat staff officer thought for a while and said: "Could it be that the poison gas attack of the imperial army has not taken effect?"

"It's impossible! China Tuba Road doesn't have a gas mask at all, and even these bumpkins don't even know what a gas mask is. Moreover, they didn't know in advance that we were going to use gas bombs. How could they be unscathed?" Ichiro Tada refused Believe it, growled angrily.

Devil's combat staff officer: "Could it be that the poisonous gas popped out?"

Ichiro Tada: "The Imperial Japanese Army has done a lot of experiments with civilians in China, and there is absolutely no problem with the gas bombs!"

The fighting ahead continues.

Since the attacking little devils were not prepared for their sight, and the forward position of the independent battalion had been cleared in advance, there was almost no bunker, so they were a group of humanoid living targets.

Therefore, the battle was destined to be a one-sided massacre from the very beginning, which was even easier than a butcher killing a pig. In just one or two minutes, the attacking troops sent by Masao Nishiyama suffered more than half of the casualties.

The corpses of devil soldiers are everywhere in front of the independent battalion's position!
Witnessing that his own soldiers were almost wiped out in a massacre, Masao Nishiyama's lungs were about to explode, his eyes almost burst into flames, and his mouth was panting heavily.

With a livid face, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the attacking troops, stop the attack immediately, and withdraw! Then call the commander, and ask him to send aviation to provide us with tactical guidance! I want the forward position of the China Independent Battalion, and other The base is razed to the ground!"

Tada Ichiro knew that Masao Nishiyama, head of the brigade, was really angry, but as his deputy chief of staff, he had to remind him to calm down at this time.

So he quickly persuaded: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, you can't, our attack on the base of the independent battalion of the Chinese Army this time is acting without authorization!

Not to mention whether your Excellency the Commander will be angry because of this, but if the opponent is only a battalion-level unit of the Eighth Route Army, we cannot defeat it with a single brigade, and even need to use aviation, your Excellency the Commander will not agree.

Moreover, if this matter gets out, not only you, the brigade commander, will be ridiculed by your colleagues, but even your Excellency the commander, and even the entire Imperial Army of the First Army will be ridiculed by your colleagues in the empire! "

Nishiyama Masao also knew that the Imperial Japanese Army always worshiped the strong. If you won the battle, even if you disobeyed the military orders of your superiors a little, you would not be punished, and even if you were punished, it would not be too severe.

And if you lose a battle, especially if you are defeated by an opponent who is smaller than yourself, it will be a disgrace to the empire. No matter how obedient you are, it doesn't make any sense.

Not only did he not get reinforcements from his superiors, but even punishment was indispensable.

This is the situation facing the current 4th Brigade.

If they were defeated and defeated by an independent battalion that was far weaker than them, if they dared to ask for reinforcements, even if they could get reinforcements, they would definitely be severely punished afterwards.

Therefore, Nishiyama Masao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​requesting aviation reinforcements, and instead waited for the offensive troops to withdraw, and the artillery would retaliate against the independent battalion.

A few minutes later, the devil's attacking troops who received the retreat order turned around and ran away one after another as if they had been pardoned.

The Independent Battalion took advantage of the situation and launched another counterattack. The blood of the devils who were directly killed flowed into rivers, and corpses were strewn all over the field.

Because the devils rushed too close, it would take some time to retreat, so it was a good opportunity to take the initiative to attack at this time and take advantage of the situation to cover up the kill.

Moreover, at this time, the two armies were anxiously facing each other, and the devils did not dare to launch shelling rashly.

Of course, Wang Chengzhu didn't dare to chase too deep, he only chased for a few hundred meters, and immediately led his troops back to the position.

In this battle, hundreds of ghost corpses were left behind, and the independent battalion won a big victory!
