Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 140 The Hope of the Japanese Army

Without hesitation, Zeng Quan directly ordered: "One infantry platoon will be drawn from the second company, two platoons will be drawn from the third company, plus small artillery squads from each company. I will immediately reinforce the regiment leader, and the others will stay and clean up the battlefield!"

At this time, the battle in the main direction of the regiment was indeed not over yet, and the dense gunfire even had a tendency to intensify.

But careful people will find that the whole battle is not getting more and more difficult as everyone imagined, but it is coming to an end.

Eliminate the reinforced squadron in the middle of the Japanese army, and let the Japanese army captain have no chance to send a telegram to the county.Immediately there were two infantry companies on the battlefield.

Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the first battalion, ordered the two companies to follow the road and directly kill the devils who were counterattacking from behind without saying a word.

The Japanese troops of the two forward squadrons split out an infantry squad to attack Wang Ping's regiment headquarters, and the remaining infantry squad was attacked by two infantry companies of the Independent Regiment. It collapsed after only holding on for 5 minutes, and was quickly wiped out.

At this time, there were only four infantry squads left in the rear of the entire ambush battlefield.

No, after nearly half an hour of attack and stalemate, the four infantry squads have been reduced to three, but even so, the combat effectiveness of these more than 100 devils is still not to be underestimated.

After being suddenly attacked by a company of the Independent Regiment behind them, the Japanese army, which lost half of the infantry squad in an instant, responded immediately.

Dozens of devils immediately turned their guns to prevent the Eighth Route Army from approaching them.

The remaining nearly a hundred devils continued to maintain pressure on the Eighth Route Army on the high ground, and then continued to touch the high ground by crawling forward.

"Squadron leader, the Eighth Route Army behind us came from the road. I'm worried that the team leader's side is over. After all, their side has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army from the very beginning!" Hearing the increasingly dense gunshots around , the deputy captain expressed his concerns with a serious face.

"It must be so, the gunfire from the captain's side has stopped!" The squadron leader's good mood just now disappeared, frowning and analyzing.

"Then we won't be alone, and we will be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in a short time!" The vice-captain's face became even uglier, and he shouted with a hint of despair.

The squadron leader calmed down after a brief shock, and analyzed with a calm face: "Don't worry, even if we become a lone army, we may not necessarily die here. Don't forget, the team leader just informed that the brigade leader has A cavalry brigade was sent to reinforce us. Judging from the timing, they should be here soon. As long as we persist until the cavalry brigade comes over, we can get out of here alive!"

In the eyes of ordinary infantry, cavalry is their nemesis and the god of death on the battlefield.

As long as cavalry reinforcements come, no amount of Eighth Route Army infantry will be able to withstand massacres.What's more, the head of the brigade directly sent a cavalry brigade of nearly [-] cavalry to reinforce him. You must know that in the ranking of Japanese combat effectiveness, [-] cavalry is completely equal to an infantry brigade, or even more!
Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese infantry, the cavalry is the god, and there is no enemy on the Chinese battlefield that the imperial cavalry cannot solve.

Sure enough, as soon as the squadron leader said that the cavalry brigade was on its way, the tense expressions of the surrounding subordinates relaxed a lot.

The squadron leader did not relax, because it would take time for the cavalry brigade to come over, and only if everyone survived until the cavalry brigade came, would there be hope of survival.

And now there are three infantry companies of the Eighth Route Army gathered around him. The squadron leader is sure that the longer the time drags on, the more Eighth Route Army will gather.

Therefore, in order to persist here for a longer time, there is only one way, and that is to create a high ground that is conducive to defense.Only by defending from a high position, the more than 100 imperial troops under him can block the attack of the Eighth Route Army several times.

"Gentlemen, more and more Eighth Route Army is gathering here. We have no advantage in terrain, but the Eighth Route Army can use machine gun fire to kill us from above. So, only by occupying the high ground in front of us can we hold on until the reinforcements come?" The squadron leader analyzed seriously.

Hearing the increasingly dense gunshots and the screams of soldiers around them, the squad leaders knew that what the squadron leader said was true.

Frowning, he replied with a serious face: "Squadron leader, give the order!"

"Yoxi, all of you are the most heroic imperial army in the Great Japanese Empire! I ordered: the first squadron to attack from the front, the second and third squadrons to feint on the flanks, and disperse the firepower of the Eighth Route Army on the high ground. The fourth squadron and the third squadron block us The Eighth Route Army behind us must not let them threaten the safety of our attacking troops!" The squadron leader ordered with a serious face.

The first battalion, the second, the third and the second companies of the independent regiment defending the hill were commanded by battalion commander Zhang Qing himself.

I thought it would be a very easy task to ambush the two companies of the Imperial Association Army with two companies, but I didn't expect that the little devil actually gave himself a golden cicada to escape, and replaced the Imperial Association Army with a puppet army, so that he encountered a tough bone.

Because of underestimating the enemy and being merciful at the beginning, the two companies not only failed to seize the opportunity of the first round of raid firepower to kill the devils in large numbers, but were even attacked by the devils in a surprise attack.

In addition, the heavy machine guns and mortars directly under the battalion headquarters were transferred away by the regimental commander, facing the recruits and captured soldiers who accounted for more than half of his subordinates, in order to prevent these people from collapsing on the battlefield, any accidents would happen.Zhang Qing could only follow the order, keep shrinking the defense line, and concentrate all the troops on the high ground to confront the devils.

Although the troops in hand are twice as strong as the devils, and they also have a terrain advantage.However, due to the well-trained Japanese army, Zhang Qing did not take advantage of any advantages during the entire confrontation.Not only that, the well-trained devils actually crawled forward and touched the hilltops bit by bit.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the heavy machine gun platoon directly under the battalion headquarters was sent back by the regiment leader. Three heavy machine guns were placed on the high ground, and Zhang Qing's confidence was much higher.

However, Zhang Qing didn't immediately order the heavy machine gun to shoot in the face of the ghost lying on the ground.

Because shooting now is a waste of bullets, he is waiting, waiting for the critical moment to use three heavy machine guns to give the devil a fatal attack.

He believed that it was impossible for the devil to crawl forward like this all the time.

Although crawling has many advantages, it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, the speed is too slow.

As long as they reach more than 40 meters below the high ground, I can use grenades to deal with them as much as I want, and the devils lying on the ground obviously have no possibility of throwing grenades to the high ground because they have no terrain advantage.

At this time, if the Japanese army planned to charge up with minimal casualties, they had to stand up and charge.

If he continued to crawl forward, Zhang Qing only needed to use a grenade to kill them all at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Qing's deduction was correct. After the devil touched more than 60 meters in front of the formation, he suddenly jumped up as if he had been shot with chicken blood, and then rushed forward with a rifle in his hand.

The only crooked handles were also held in the arms of the devils as fixed firepower points, providing cover for the attacking troops with uninterrupted vitality.

The opportunity you have been waiting for for so long has finally arrived!

Zhang Qing's face became frenzied in an instant, and he ordered to the machine gunner beside him.

"Shoot, kill them all, and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!"

Three heavy machine guns, four crooked handles, fired together, a total of seven hot tongues, like seven death scythes, reaping the lives of the devils in front of the battle.

A dozen or so devils had just jumped up, and before they could take a step forward, they were hit by bullets, and then fell to the ground, dying!
