Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 242 Strong Assault
"Baga, why are there so many Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain? Where did they come from? More than 600 elite imperial troops were beaten down to only 200 people. It took more than half an hour. What did they do? Arrived?" The stunned captain couldn't help exclaiming.

The Battalion Commander of the Royal Association Army next to him was also very flustered, and he directly reminded: "The garrison on the top of the mountain has already rushed towards us, and the Eighth Route Army is following them. They must want to follow behind the imperial army and directly enter our position! Captain, we must do it right away!" Prepare!"

"Immediately draw a company from the front, and then adjust three machine guns, ready to meet the imperial army retreating from the top of the mountain and block the Eighth Route Army behind." The team leader ordered decisively.

The closer the Japanese army retreating from the top of the mountain was to him, the more they knew the harsh situation on the battlefield.

With less than 200 troops, no trace of the imperial army can be seen from them.

It's like a lost dog, rushing here in a very embarrassing situation.

The Eighth Route Army following behind was like a hunter chasing prey, unstoppable.

And as the gunshots continued to ring out on the battlefield, the imperial army walking at the end was constantly shot and fell on the way to retreat.

The squad leader could hardly believe his eyes, but he still ordered decisively: "Get ready to respond immediately! As soon as the imperial army in front enters the position, we will shoot and block the Eighth Route Army's pursuit!"

After finally rushing to the third line of defense, the nearly two hundred Japanese troops were no longer an infantry squad at this time.

Facing the comrades in arms who were close at hand, and the remaining Japanese soldiers who were still alive, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.

But they didn't know that Zhang Yunshan, who was chasing after them, also showed a smile at this moment, and it was a triumphant smile.

The reason why these devils were able to escape here alive under the pursuit of more than a dozen machine guns was not because of their good luck, but because of Zhang Yunshan's intention.

If it weren't for the dozens of devils leading the way, it would be impossible for him to rush to the 60 meters near the third line of defense without being attacked.

Seeing that the devils were about to flee into the line of defense, Zhang Yunshan immediately ordered.

"Comrades, these devils are useless! Increase your firepower, speed up, charge up, kill them, and get into the third line of defense."

"Da da da!" More than a dozen machine guns secretly no longer kept it, and fired all at once.

The tongues of flame formed by countless bullets are like a death harvester, harvesting devils to their heart's content.

Many little devils still had happy smiles on their faces, and the bullets that flew over smashed them into a sieve.

Not only that, because the pursuit speed increased, the distance of more than 30 meters was shortened to 20 meters in just a few seconds.

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, they must have taken the opportunity to break into our position!" The sudden fierce firepower woke up the team leader.

Looking at the dwindling imperial army in front of him, he shouted very anxiously: "Quickly retreat in, speed up, the Eighth Route Army is about to rush over!"

"Shoot the machine gun immediately to block the Eighth Route Army behind!"

"Da da da... bang bang!" The Japanese and puppet soldiers on the ground also panicked, and immediately fired back.

Because the shooting distance was too close, the Second Battalion, which was caught off guard, lost more than a dozen people at once.

"Two machine guns suppress the enemy, one machine gun kills them, and the rifleman throws grenades to blow them up!" Zhang Yunshan, who followed the team to attack, ordered decisively.

For Major General Ono, the key to holding the third line of defense is to hold the high ground on the hill.As long as the high ground is in your hands, the third line of defense will be worry-free.

That's why Ono mobilized a total of six hundred imperial troops from the tense force.

As for the less important mountainside defense line, Ono only symbolically deployed an infantry squad and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army, with only six machine guns in total.

Three sticks stayed on the front, facing the fourth line of defense of the independent regiment.

The remaining three were transferred here to stop the second battalion from pursuing.

But the Second Battalion was equipped with more than a dozen machine guns, both in terms of firepower and troop strength, which were several times that of the Japanese and puppet troops that blocked them in front of them.

More importantly, the Second Battalion had rushed more than 40 meters in front of them, and it was still condescending.

As soon as the machine gunners turned their guns and started to fight back, the three machine guns in the hands of the Japanese and puppet soldiers misfired, and six or seven machine gunners fell down next to the machine guns and were beaten into a sieve.

"The machine gun can't be heard, the deputy shooter rushed up immediately and continued to shoot!" The squad leader knew the importance of machine gun firepower on the battlefield and shouted loudly.

However, no matter how many people he rushed past, he couldn't break through the fire interception of a total of six machine guns.

Soon, a whole circle of corpses fell around the three machine guns.

"Baga, it's a grenade, captain be careful!" Just as the captain became more and more anxious, an exclamation suddenly sounded behind him.

Then the captain was thrown to the ground.

"Boom boom boom..." Immediately afterwards, a violent explosion rang in my ears.

Even though he was lying on the ground with a person behind him protecting him, the squad leader could still feel the scorching air waves constantly sweeping towards him.

When the squad leader came to his senses and pushed away the subordinate lying behind him, he had already turned into a corpse, bloody and bloody.

"Baga, counterattack immediately, block the Eighth Route Army! Throw a grenade, counterattack with a grenade, and blow up these Eighth Route Army!" The subordinate who saved his life died just like that, and the team leader immediately became angry, like an angry lion. Roaring orders.

The Eighth Route Army, which was not within the range of the grenade just now, rushed forward for nearly ten meters, and then entered in one fell swoop.

Dozens of grenades were thrown at them, and the dozen or so people in the front were blown up without even a chance to react.

"Stop rushing forward, just use firepower to kill the devils here, and kill them all from above!" Zhang Yunshan immediately reacted.

Relying on the condescending terrain advantage, as long as the troops stop rushing forward, the grenades thrown by the Japanese and puppet troops cannot threaten themselves.

In addition, his military strength and firepower are several times that of the Japanese and puppet troops in front of him, so he can completely suppress them and fight as much as possible to reap as many lives as possible.

"Da da da!" The dense bullets continued to harvest the lives of the devils on the defense line, and hand grenades with white smoke continued to fall from the sky, hitting the devils like rain and exploding.

The small number of Japanese and puppet troops was drastically reduced under the unilateral massacre of the Second Battalion.

Soon, the team leader realized that there were not many people around him.

And even the living subordinates were terrified at this moment, lying motionless on the ground.

"Drop another company from the front, and we must block the Eighth Route Army's offensive. The general already knows our situation here, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, so hold on to me!" the anxious team leader shouted.

Zhang Yunshan, the commander of the Second Battalion, was not in a hurry. Anyway, it was dark at night. In a short period of time, the mountain running equipped by the Japanese army could not fire, and the planes could not come over. All the advantages were on his side.

The more Japanese troops come, the more they will destroy themselves, which is all beneficial and harmless!
