Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 108
As time passed, the fifth wave of Japanese attacks began.

The soldiers who had been deployed on the flanks to guard against sneak attacks brought new news: "Batalion Commander, the Japanese have divided their forces around our flanks. There are about 40 people with machine guns and grenade launchers."

The enemy is as strong as the enemy, but he will also use different tactics.In addition to taking advantage of equipment and bombarding the infantry with artillery, the Japanese also like to divide their troops to the flanks and carry out flanking attacks.This is one of the common tactics used by the Japanese. It has achieved good results whether against Guojun or Daiying.

Of course, excellent tactics are not omnipotent. Once this kind of two-way attack tactic is caught, it will be easily countered, and it has happened more than once.

"Okay, okay, I'm just waiting for the Japanese to do this!" Zhang Dabiao laughed: "Then don't blame me for being cruel!"

"Second Platoon, go guard the flanks and stop the Japs on the flanks."

"The rest of you, prepare to attack! Control your firepower and get the Japs closer to me. When the Japs reach a position of 60 to [-] meters, explode a wave of hand grenades, rifle grenades, and mortars first, and then directly suppress them with automatic fire. Don't save bullets. Be sure to defeat them quickly!"

Dividing the troops around and attacking from both sides can indeed produce good results.However, once the coordination is not in place and the defender takes advantage of the lack of troops and launches a counterattack, the casualties will inevitably be huge.

Especially the group of devils in front of us now.The first four waves of attacks killed many people, and now more than 40 Japs were sent to the flanks, leaving only more than 90 people on the front.Among these 90 people, some should be divided into offense, and some should rest and take care of the wounded...

As for the dozens of puppet troops in the garrison... they rushed up together with them during the last attack. As a result, they were killed and injured more than 20 people. They retreated directly, which exposed the Japanese flanks and the attack failed.After retreating, these recruits were like frightened birds and could no longer organize themselves.

Therefore, whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese, they do not count the combat effectiveness of the dozens of puppet troops left.The combat effectiveness of these dogs is simply negative.

However, it is rare to be counterattacked, especially on the battlefield behind enemy lines.Whether it is the Eighth Route Army or the impoverished Jinsui Army, they are at a disadvantage in terms of firepower compared with the Japanese. It is really difficult to fight a counterattack.If the operation is not good, there will be a lot of losses.

"It seems that this gang of Eighth Route Army soldiers are running out of ammunition!"

Ono Sheng listened to the sound of gunfire that was much sparser than last time, and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were advancing much faster than last time. His face was filled with joy: "Even if the Eighth Route Army obtains sufficient ammunition, it will not be distributed reasonably. It has only been a few times." When attacking, the firepower is reduced by almost half!”

Wang Deshui on the side also had a smile on his face: "It's all thanks to Taijun's good command..."

Only now did Wang Deshui feel a little relieved.If the fight continues with the previous intensity, there will definitely be no chance.Don't look at Ono Sheng's current talk about the Eighth Route Army. In fact, as long as the Eighth Route Army can carry two more rounds, Ono's artillery will cease fire - there are not many heavy things like artillery shells.You want to lead them, but even the big soldiers can't lead them.

Once the artillery fire stops and the sky darkens, it will be even more impossible to capture the position of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side with grenade launchers alone. Night fighting has always been the Eighth Route Army's specialty.

Although the Japanese are not bad, they cannot afford to lose.There are at least [-] to [-] people in the Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain. It is really a night battle. Even if Ono's strengthened squadron can win, it is hard to say how many people will survive.

It is obviously impossible for Ono to spend all his squadron here.

"Wang Jun, don't worry. The promise made by the imperial army will definitely be fulfilled. When we defeat the group of Eighth Route Army in front of us, we will immediately go to Wangjiazhuang and send you home before dark. Then we will have to trouble Wang Please entertain us!"

Ono Sheng looked at Wang Deshui with a smile.In his opinion, the war situation was almost stable.The frontal offensive is now smooth. As long as the troops on the flanks cooperate with the attack, it will not be a problem to capture the mountain in front of them.

"Definitely, definitely!" As soon as Wang Deshui finished speaking, a series of explosions came from the distance, immediately attracting their attention.

"At this distance, it should be eight-way grenades. But why are they so dense?" Ono Sheng whispered to himself.

As if to answer his question, a charge horn suddenly sounded, and extremely fierce gunfire suddenly erupted on the Eighth Route Army's position.As figures jumped out of the trenches one after another, the Japanese in front immediately realized that the situation was not good and quickly looked for opportunities to retreat.

However, what Zhang Dabiao wanted was for the Japanese to retreat.How dare he fire mortars without opening a distance of more than 100 meters?
The Japanese, who had just retreated not far, directly entered the position that the mortar had already marked.They were then greeted by indiscriminate bombing from grenades and mortars.

The soldiers at the front were less than 30 meters away from the explosion, and could clearly see the Japanese's body lifted up by the explosion.

Ono Masaru's eyes widened in the distance.

He saw hundreds of No. [-] soldiers walking through the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated, firing at the imperial army with their automatic weapons.

He saw that his attacking force had suffered heavy losses, at least half of them killed by explosions and close firefights.

He saw his troops spontaneously start to counterattack, but they were quickly defeated by the Eighth Route Army's charge and gradually lost their ability to resist.

"Find bunkers and stop this group of eight! Also let the artillery retreat first, quickly!" Ono Sheng ignored the stunned Wang Deshui and immediately ordered the Japanese to start building defensive positions and let the artillery evacuate.

The cage policy is to bully the Eighth Route Army. There are not many cannons, and civil fortifications and masonry buildings can deal with the Eighth Route Army's attack.Therefore, the Japanese attach great importance to artillery. They would rather lose the battle than have their artillery captured by the Eighth Route Army.There are even examples of people who are willing to spend money to redeem them after being captured.

But soon, Ono Sheng discovered that this group of Eighth Route Army had no intention of pursuing the victory.They just dealt with his retreating attacking troops, and then retreated.During the retreat, another round of mortar shells was used. While killing and injuring the defeated troops, it also raised smoke and dust, which had a certain cover effect.

"These Japanese soldiers are really good. They retreated very quickly." Zhang Dabiao put down his telescope and led the soldiers back to their positions.Before leaving, he did not forget to ask the soldiers to take away all the weapons and ammunition from the Japanese corpses. He also took out a pack of cigarettes from a Japanese soldier's pocket.

He had been staring at the Japanese artillery, so he discovered the Japanese movements immediately.The artillery retreated early and began to organize a defense line. This artillery was definitely out of reach.In this case, just kill and injure the Japs. There is no need to rush forward a few hundred meters and fight dozens of Japs infantry.

There are still forty Japanese who have not been dealt with on the side of the position.

"Baga, let the roundabout troops withdraw!" Ono Sheng immediately realized what Zhang Dabiao wanted to do.

"Taijun, the best way now is to fight..."

"Get out!" Ono Sheng slapped Wang Deshui on the face. The huge force caused him to spin half a circle and fall to the ground.

His squadron suffered more than half casualties, but the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side did not suffer many casualties.Still fighting?If the fight continues, I'm afraid he will be wiped out from all directions!

A reinforced squadron was wiped out by hundreds of eight-pronged troops?Then his name will be engraved on the pillar of shame and sung within the imperial army!
