Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 136 Ambush all out
"Order the First Infantry Squad to cooperate with the First Company of the Imperial Association Army to launch an attack immediately and break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line! The heavy machine gun squad and the artillery squad will cover!" The squadron leader immediately ordered.

The devils who were eager to reinforce the captain only saw the Eighth Route Army blocking the road, and on both sides of the road there were two small hills with an altitude of less than 20 meters, because the above had been reclaimed into wasteland, it was impossible to hide people at first glance. It did not attract the attention of the Japanese army.

When more than 50 devils drove more than 100 imperial association troops to attack, three mortars had already been set up.

Because more than a dozen gunners died under the attack of the reconnaissance platoon all the way, the devils who are manipulating these three mortars now are the grenadiers temporarily drawn by the squadron leader.Although they were all artillerymen, everyone was very nervous because it was the first time to operate a mortar.

"Fire, shoot!" a devil squad leader drew out his command knife and ordered loudly.

"Tongtongtong..." As soon as three dull cannon shots rang out, three shells flew out of the shells and flew towards the Eighth Route Army's position with a howling sound.

Compared with the gunners who have been killed, their shooting accuracy is obviously much worse.

Only one of the three shells that fell from the sky hit the target, but even so, the three mortars still fired ten rounds of shells, and did not stop until the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army was completely shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Charge forward under the cover of heavy machine guns.

"Shoot!" Ma Qingyun, the first company commander of the third battalion, raised his pistol and killed the two puppet soldiers who rushed to the front, and then ordered loudly.

Amidst the crackling gunfire, puppet troops were constantly being killed.

At this time, many puppet troops were afraid, and they felt frightened, wanting to stop or retreat directly.But the devils behind them did not regard their lives as human lives.

A few imperial association troops had just thought of retreating in fear, and the attack was a little slower.The devil who was following them didn't say anything polite, and directly stabbed the bayonet into their backs, and then threatened with a murderous look.

"Keep going forward, whoever stops will be the end!"

Facing the death at close range, even if the imperial association army knew that they would die if they were forced to continue to charge forward, they could only bite the bullet and charge forward with their eyes closed.

Fortunately, the company standing in front of them didn't kill them, otherwise, the casualties of the more than 100 imperial association troops would have been even greater.

When everyone's eyes and attention were focused on the road, on a hill not far away, the [-]rd Battalion and [-]nd Company, who had been hiding on the other side of the hill, were carrying heavy machine guns, crooked handles, and holding rifles, and quickly climbed up. .

As soon as you reach the top of the hill, you lie down on the ground and get ready to shoot.

Three Czech-made ones and one Type [-] were erected directly on the ground with the best shooting range on the top of the mountain, aiming at the Japanese and puppet troops who were launching an attack on the road at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the puppet army for more than 100 days had all entered the range of weapons in everyone's hands, especially light and heavy machine guns. Dozens of devils following behind the Imperial Association Army happened to be in their best range.

"Aim at the little devil behind the fake, hit me hard, and shoot!" Zhang Yunshan ordered decisively.

"Da da da... chug chu..." The heavy machine gun and the crooked handle yelled first.

More than 100 rifles followed with crackling gunshots.

The second company fired one by one, and the third company lurking in another small hill followed suit, and all the bullets swished towards the devil.

The devils following behind the Imperial Association Army never thought that they would be attacked.

Therefore, when the comrades around were knocked down one by one, the others were frightened.

However, the subconscious movements of the body were not affected, shock was nothing but shock, they still quickly lay on the ground.

The Imperial Association Army in front saw that many people were killed by the devil at once, and many people showed a hint of joy on their faces, and then heaved a long sigh of relief, lying on the ground with the devil, and stopped rushing forward.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army who supervised the battle behind also had a look of incredulity, and then he ordered very anxiously: "Baga, why are the Eighth Route Army hiding in those two places? Quick, order our attacking troops to retreat immediately! The Eighth Route Army is condescending and equipped with heavy machine guns. If you retreat too late, the attacking troops will all die on the battlefield!"

"Woooo..." The order was issued, but before it was passed on, two screams that made the squadron leader's expression change suddenly sounded.

"It's a mortar, everyone, take cover and protect the squadron leader!" This time, before the squadron leader had time to speak, a small leader next to him shouted loudly.

Then, the squadron leader was thrown to the ground by the guard next to him, and he fell to the ground and ate shit.

"Boom..." Two shells exploded, but not around them.

Just as the squadron leader had a happy smile on his face, and was about to get up and direct the troops to fight back, a terrified cry reached his ears.

"Squadron leader, something went wrong. The artillery squad was shelled and suffered heavy losses. They are moving their positions!"

"Boom..." Before he finished speaking, two more explosions reached the squadron leader's ears.

Although the third battalion of the Independent Regiment was only equipped with two mortars, it was not an opponent of the Japanese army in terms of numbers.

However, because of preemptive strikes, it would take at least half a minute for the Japanese artillery to lock on to the position of the artillery platoon of the third battalion for a counterattack, which was enough for the independent regiment to fire ten shells.

With so many shells gathering around the artillery squad and exploding, a dozen gunners would be blown to pieces even if they were beaten with iron.

Therefore, as soon as the two artillery shells exploded in the artillery position in the first round, the artillery team leader gave the order to transfer immediately.

The reaction speed of the Japanese army was very fast, but they were a group of recruits after all.

Facing the corpses that had been blown into pieces, many people looked pale, and their action of dismantling the mortar must have been affected, and some even couldn't disassemble the mortar for a long time because of nervousness.

The Eighth Route Army, which operated two mortars, didn't care about this. Two shells in a round, as if they didn't want money, threw them at the Japanese artillery positions desperately.

In the end, only eight people from the artillery team ran out, and as for the mortar, only one was rescued.

The artillery squad leader had a gloomy face, wishing he could go straight to the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army and chop them into pieces with his command knife.

Because, all the way down, he was really aggrieved.

On the way to march, they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and without firing a single shell, the dozens of gunners under him lost almost the same amount.

Now I finally have a chance to fire a cannon for revenge, but after just a few rounds of shells, even the artillery positions of the old nest were taken away by the enemy.As the team leader, it is absolutely impossible not to feel aggrieved.

Although there was only one mortar left in his hand at this time, the squad leader with the idea of ​​revenge still decided to fight back.

Assemble and manipulate the mortar by yourself, aiming at the artillery position just exposed by the Eighth Route Army.
