Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 218 I Will Be Arrogant (One More!)

"Everything...boom boom boom..." The two small artillery squads fired six grenade launchers immediately, and as they became more proficient in shooting, they accurately shot the grenades into the devil's heavy machine gun position.

The grenade exploded, and a heavy machine gun was blown over and misfired on the spot.

"Order the heavy machine gun squadron to disperse, the more dispersed the better! Mortar squadron, counterattack immediately and destroy the Eighth Route Army's grenades!" Zuo Qiushui, who was on the battlefield in person, ordered with a gloomy face.

Although the sound of explosions continued to sound on the battlefield, heavy machine guns were continuously bombed and machine gunners were killed.

However, after Zuo Qiushui rearranged, the loss was significantly smaller.

Even if one or two of the heavy machine guns are attacked, the remaining heavy machine guns can continue to shoot, providing fire support to the attacking troops.

"Captain, why didn't the Eighth Route Army respond? The first two times, as soon as the troops rushed to 150 meters in front of the formation, the machine guns they were equipped with would fire!" Seeing the Eighth Route Army's position that was still a few hundred meters away, the deputy captain frowned at Zuo Qiushui. reminded.

They are all veterans who have experienced battles, and they absolutely do not believe that the Eighth Route Army, which was so difficult to fight just now, were all killed in just one plane bombing!
Holding up his binoculars, Major Qiushui searched the mountainside full of bomb craters for almost a minute, and then replied helplessly, "I don't know either. I didn't even see a single figure of the Eighth Route Army on the ground!"

"Do you think the Eighth Route Army will flatten their positions because of the bombing just now. Because they have no positions to defend, they took the initiative to retreat!" The deputy captain said the most reasonable explanation~
"It's also possible!" Zuo Qiushui replied.

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. As far as I know, it will never use its own disadvantages and our advantages to fight desperately unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Strong offensive firepower and aircraft bombing are our advantages. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has built a lot of blocking positions in the back waiting for us to attack. Therefore, it is not impossible to take the initiative to retreat and preserve our strength!"

The deputy captain's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "If this is the case, then this attack will be much easier for us!"

"Maybe!" Zuo Qiushui was not so sure.

Then he changed the subject and continued: "However, the vigilance of the attacking troops should not be relaxed at all. After all, our opponent is too cunning. An infantry squadron has already died in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. I don't want to lose another infantry squadron , I, Qiushui, can't afford to lose this person!"

The deputy captain immediately replied: "Hi! I will immediately remind the attacking troops to be careful not to underestimate the enemy!"

100 meters, the Eighth Route Army position has not moved.

At this time, the two small artillery squads that kept firing also stopped firing under Yang Xiong's order.

The devils who had suspected that the Eighth Route Army had retreated became even more suspicious at this time.

In their view, the grenadier attack that stopped suddenly just now was more like covering people's eyes and ears, covering the withdrawal of troops from the position.

Although Zuo Qiushui had ordered the attacking troops to step up their vigilance, they did so at first.But by this time, most officers had forgotten the order.

As veterans, they still have the most basic military literacy.

For the defenders, if they don't shoot at this distance, and wait for the attacking troops to continue to rush forward, as long as the attacking troops have enough troops, it is basically impossible for the defenders to block the attacking troops if they shoot again.

That being the case, the Eighth Route Army standing in front of them must have seen that the situation was not good and fled.

A position without enemy defense is a great temptation for every devil in the attacking force.

Even if you didn't eliminate an enemy, as long as you rushed up, that would be a military exploit.And the first Japanese army to rush forward was even more incredible, and it was directly the first achievement.

"Warriors, continue to charge forward and kill it!" Hundreds of devils rushed forward with rifles in their hands, yelling, wanting to get the first shot.

The attacking formation of the skirmish line was still loose just now, because they were scrambling to rush forward, it has been completely chaotic, and it is becoming more and more concentrated.

"The little devil is so arrogant, he doesn't take us seriously!" the instructor scolded angrily and expectantly.

"If we're not arrogant, we won't have the chance to hit them hard!" Yang Xiong replied with a sneer.

Then he analyzed: "The devil must think that we have given up the position, so he dares to rush forward so arrogantly!"

"But I don't blame them. If it was me, I would be as arrogant as them. After all, the destructive power of aircraft bombing is not comparable to that of shelling. If it weren't for the support of three machine gun bunkers, I must have asked the battalion commander for help. Or give up the position. Otherwise, there is no possibility of this blocking battle going on."

"Old Yang, the devils have rushed to 70 meters, and they are getting more and more concentrated!" The instructor immediately reminded.

Yang Xiong's face quickly returned to seriousness, and he ordered decisively.

"Grenades and grenades are ready, ready to shoot back!"

"shooting!"

Suddenly, more than 100 heads appeared sparsely from the position of bomb craters everywhere, and then crackling gunshots sounded.

A dozen or so devils were caught off guard and were thrown directly on the attacking road by a platoon of guns.

The devil's first reaction was that the Eighth Route Army had some conspiracy and fell into it.

But several officers reacted immediately: "Warriors, continue to charge forward! There is no one in the Eighth Route Army, not even machine guns. Charge to the battlefield and destroy them!"

"The Eighth Route Army doesn't have machine guns, so they must want to fight us in close combat and weaken our firepower advantage. Go up and destroy them with bayonets!"

The devils continued to rush forward with rifles in hand, while the attacking machine guns accompanying the team kept firing, suppressing and killing the Eighth Route Army in front of them.

"The grenade is ready, the machine gunner is ready to shoot!" The devil quickly rushed forward for more than 20 meters, with only more than 20 casualties.But Yang Xiong was not nervous at all, he stared at the battlefield and ordered decisively.

"Throw all the grenades out, and the machine gunner fires back!"

After personally throwing a grenade emitting white smoke at the devil, Yang Xiong picked up the rifle beside him, aimed at the devil, and then shot.

More than 100 black grenades fell from the sky and exploded. Although the devils' offensive was thwarted, nearly one infantry squad was lost.

However, at the last moment, no one wanted to give up. After a moment of stupefaction, they continued to charge forward with their rifles in hand.

There are also some people who have already held the grenade in their hands. As long as they rush forward another seven or eight meters, they will throw the grenade at the Eighth Route Army and return it to them in their own way.

"Da da da!" At this moment, a burst of machine gun fire that they were very familiar with suddenly sounded in front of them and reached their ears.

Then I saw the soldiers who rushed to the front were swept to the ground one by one.

Because of the cover of the smoke of the grenade, they couldn't see the situation of the defenders' positions, and they didn't know where the machine gun bullets came from.

Therefore, driven by victory, he continued to rush forward against the bullet.
