Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 220 Engineers Row Up (Third Watch!)

Therefore, after the Japanese artillery shells hit, although the heavy gunpowder smoke blocked the machine gunner's vision, as long as the lookout squad leader's vision was not blocked, the swishing machine gun bullets continued to fly towards the devils as if they had eyes.

"Baga, what's going on, why our shelling didn't work!" Qiushuizuo was shocked again when he saw that a large number of his subordinates were killed on the retreat road, and asked the subordinates around him unceremoniously.

Ono didn't know that the Eighth Route Army had divided their entire retreat route into dozens of shooting areas, let alone that the Eighth Route Army's machine gunners only needed to know the shooting areas to hit his subordinates with swishing bullets.

There were more than 500 imperial troops in three infantry squadrons, and less than one infantry squadron successfully retreated in the end.

After listening to the deputy captain's casualty report, Zuo Qiushui almost fainted from fright.

"Another two infantry squadrons were completely wiped out. Bageyalu, I must kill all the cunning Eighth Route Army and avenge the fallen warriors!" Qiu Shuizuo cursed loudly with an angry expression of gritted teeth.

After cursing, he lowered his head and walked to Major General Ono: "General, I have let you down. I failed to take down the Eighth Route Army's position, and lost two infantry squadrons. Your Excellency, General, please punish me!"

Ono had a gloomy face and did not speak.

After staring at the Eighth Route Army's position a few hundred meters away that had regained its tranquility for a full minute, he said, "Mr. Qiushui, it's not your fault!"

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning to hide the machine gun bunker, and it was exposed at that time. Whoever it is on, the attacking troops will suffer heavy losses!"

"Thank you, General!" Qiushui Zuo Chang breathed a sigh of relief and replied gratefully.

Then he asked Ono: "But general, the Eighth Route Army has machine gun bunkers. If these machine gun bunkers cannot be destroyed, the warriors will have no way to attack!"

The captain of the Artillery Brigade interjected: "Mortars are useless against bunkers, and the Eighth Route Army must have used cement when building these machine gun bunkers. If this is the case, the mountain artillery and field artillery in the humble hands must not be very effective."

"Then ask the Army Air Corps to support us and destroy these machine gun bunkers with aerial bombs!" Ono replied with a gloomy face.

"We watched the battle just now. If it weren't for these machine gun bunkers, Qiushui Jun's subordinates would definitely be able to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense line. Therefore, we must destroy these machine gun bunkers before we attack!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff of the brigade took orders loudly.

The second battalion headquarters, battalion commander Zhang Yunshan witnessed the whole battle.

As soon as the battle was over, Zhang Yunshan had a very satisfied smile on his face.

Instructor Wang Liang praised without hesitation: "Yang Xiong is worthy of being a good fighter. In the battle just now, at least two squadrons of devils were eliminated!"

"Combining the devils and puppet troops eliminated earlier, the casualty ratio was basically controlled to one to two, and it was still a head-to-head battle with the little devils on the frontal battlefield. This is a remarkable achievement."

Zhang Yunshan nodded in affirmation and said: "Especially in the last battle, show weakness to the devils first, and then deal them a fatal blow when the devils are so arrogant that they will directly eat up two infantry squadrons of the devils, and the devils will not even have a chance to fight back." , can definitely be called a miracle!"

"However, having said that, Yang Xiong made the devil suffer so much, and with the devil's character of retribution, he will definitely retaliate!"

"Old Wang, how long is it before the three hours set by the regiment leader?"

"It's less than 10 minutes!" Wang Liang replied, glancing at the watch on his wrist.

Because the independent regiment seized a lot, basically every military and political officer above the battalion has a watch.

Now, Wang Ping is further popularizing watches to the first-level officers of the company.Because he knows the importance of time to war better than anyone else, and mastering time often means mastering the victory or defeat of war.

"The devils must be waiting for support from the planes now, so they will definitely not launch an attack in the next 10 minutes. Contact Yang Xiong, abandon the position, withdraw all the troops, and withdraw the machine gunners from the machine gun bunker. If the devil's bombing does not destroy It, we will use it again!"

"Also, order the engineering platoon to bring mines into the position. First hide in the anti-battery hole, and wait for the devils to attack before planting mines."

"Even if we give up the position, the devils cannot easily occupy the position! They must pay the price!"

Less than 10 minutes after Yang Xiong led the team to withdraw from the position, the huge roar of the plane sounded over the battlefield.

Soon, the figures of three bombers appeared over the battlefield.

The devil's artillery, which had stopped for nearly half an hour, suddenly fired, but what was surprising was that the battlefield only heard the scream of the shells across the sky, and no explosion was heard.

But not long after, the red smoke suddenly rising from the position gave everyone an explanation.

The devils are not firing shells, but firing signal flares that guide the planes to bomb.

Careful people will find that several signal flares all hit the positions of the three machine gun bunkers.

Not long after, the three machine gun bunkers were shrouded in thick red smoke.

The three bombers were like eagles that had found their prey, and they swooped down to the ground with piercing screams.

"Woooooo...Boom..." Soon, violent explosions resounded on the battlefield.

Several puffs of thick black smoke rose into the sky, and the three machine gun bunkers were immediately shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Three bombers, one bomber stared at a machine gun bunker, and kept smashing the aerial bombs in the belly of the bunker.

After blowing up the bunker, the three bombers then threw all the remaining bombs at the position. It took nearly 10 minutes to leave the battlefield arrogantly.

However, there was one bomber that did not leave, and had been patrolling over the battlefield on alert, ready to provide support to the ground attacking forces at any time.

At this time, the Japanese Artillery Battalion, as before, covered the positions behind the bombardment with artillery fire. The three machine gun bunkers were undoubtedly heavily bombarded by the artillery.

Battalion Commander Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered: "Notify the engineering platoon, rush up as soon as the shelling stops, and prepare [-] mines for the devils."

"The light and heavy machine guns that were withdrawn just now are ready. If the bunker is not destroyed, go back immediately and send another guy to the devil's attacking troops."

"But be careful, you have to wait for the devils to get close before you can shoot, so that their air security bombers will lose their effect. However, as soon as the devils retreat, the machine gun team must also leave the bunker immediately!"
