Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 257 Is Inevitable (First Update!)

"Just kill these devils on our first line of defense at the mountain pass!" Wang Ping said in a startling way.

The chief of staff asked directly with a disbelieving expression: "Commander, you are not joking. There is a high ground on the first line of defense. If the devils retreat to the high ground to hold on, then what awaits us is a tough battle!"

"I want the devils to stick to the top of the mountain. The more they stick to the top of the mountain, the easier it will be for us to destroy them!" Wang Ping continued to say surprisingly.

Soon, Zeng Quan came to his senses, and exclaimed with surprise on his face: "I understand, commander, you are going to use the tunnel of the engineering company on the high ground!"

Wang Ping nodded affirmatively and said: "A small group of troops touched the top of the mountain, and the center blossomed. The other troops attacked from the outside, and attacked them from inside and outside to kill them!"

The mountain road, which could have been covered in more than an hour, had to be advanced while building the road. It took nearly three hours for more than 1000 devils to arrive at the first line of defense of the independent regiment that they occupied a day ago.

Nakazuo Tanabe, the commander of the artillery brigade temporarily commanded by the Japanese army, was very happy and directly ordered: "Yoxi, I walked out of this mountain at noon. The next road must be much easier. Warriors, continue to speed up and find a way to catch up with the brigade. Captain."

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army is attacking Laiyuan City this time. The brigade commander will definitely need artillery support!"

Although the team that stretched for nearly one kilometer was exhausted, Tanabe had to listen to his orders, so he could only keep going.

"Woooooo..." Suddenly, a dense howling sound reached their ears.

Tanabe, who was originally an artilleryman, immediately recognized that it was the screaming sound produced by more than a dozen mortar shells flying through the sky together.

His complexion changed, and he shouted loudly: "Baga, it's shelling, there is an ambush by the Eighth Route Army here!"

"Boom boom boom..." Before the cry was finished, a violent explosion exploded in the middle of the team.

More than a dozen artillery shells and more than [-] special grenades for grenades, most of them fell in the middle of the Japanese army's marching ranks.

"Da da da..." Before the violent explosion ended, the sound of dense machine gun fire reached Nakazuo Tanabe's ears.

A shuttle of heavy machine gun bullets flew directly towards Tian Bian. If the guard hadn't thrown him to the ground with his life, Tian Bian would have been smashed into a sieve by the bullets.

"The main force of the Eighth Route Army, we were ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they would not be able to equip so many artillery and light and heavy machine guns!" Nakazuo Tanabe, who had escaped the catastrophe, immediately made a judgment with a look of lingering fear on his face.

Then he shouted loudly: "Counterattack, the troops will counterattack immediately! Suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army!"

However, the imperial army of more than 1000 people was too scattered, and more than half of them were still on the mountain road in Linzi.

The soldiers of the independent regiment who attacked them ambushed in the woods next to the mountain road and shot them at close range.

As soon as the raid started, the intensive firepower took a large number of devils' lives, and the devils in many places were directly killed by the first round of firepower.

Even if they weren't all killed, after being attacked, many devils would subconsciously gather in the direction of their squadron leader or battalion leader, so that they could huddle together to increase their chances of survival on the battlefield.

As a result, the Japanese marching team that stretched for one kilometer immediately had a lot of firepower vacancies.

The independent group that attacked them did not miss this opportunity, and launched an attack immediately, with a posture of dividing and encircling the devils, and then annihilating them bit by bit.

"Captain, the Eighth Route Army is attacking, and they want to divide and surround us!" A lieutenant immediately reminded him that something was wrong.

The supply captain who hurried over turned out to be an infantry squadron leader, and then reminded: "Mr. Tanabe, our troops are too scattered, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army and defeated individually. We must gather them together and stick to them, and take the initiative on the battlefield." Only then will we have a chance to survive!"

Then he pointed directly at the high ground behind the mountain and said: "Concentrate the troops on the top of the mountain. There will be no problem for more than 1000 of us to persist until dawn."

"We will have air support at dawn to cover our breakout and return to Laiyuan City."

"Just do as you said, all the troops retreat, and retreat to the top of the mountain to hold on!" Tanabe, who was facing this situation for the first time, was also a little flustered and didn't know what to do.Now that he heard a feasible solution, he agreed almost subconsciously.

"What about the cannons and luggage we protect? We definitely can't take them with us to retreat. But as soon as we leave, these heavy weapons and ammunition will definitely fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!" The captain of the luggage continued to remind.

"If the Eighth Route Army ambushing us would use these mountains to run, then they will definitely use these artillery to bombard us!"

"Blow up all of them!" Nakazuo Tanabe gritted his teeth and replied.

"These heavy weapons must not fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise countless warriors will surely die under the shelling of these artillery in the future!"

"Order the artillery and heavy soldiers to blow up the artillery and supplies immediately, take weapons and ammunition and move up the mountain, hold on until dawn and wait for the air support to arrive before breaking through!"

"Boom..." Within a few minutes, there were several violent explosions like thunder on the mountain road, and then several fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke rose into the sky, instantly lighting up the surrounding battlefield red.

Holding the binoculars, Wang Ping frowned and shouted, "No, if the devils want to blow up artillery and supplies, we must stop them!"

Then, without waiting for Zeng Quan to open his mouth, he ordered loudly: "Trumpeter, blow the charge horn, all charge, and drive the devils on the road to the mountain!"

The devils here have fought against the Eighth Route Army more than once or twice, and they know very well what the sound of the charging horn means to the Eighth Route Army!
Because they had received an order to retreat, they continued on the road only to blow up supplies and artillery, and fired at the independent regiment that ambushed them.

However, it is different now.

There is no position on the road, not even a favorable terrain for defense.

Now that they are launching an attack, it is impossible for them to block the Eighth Route Army rushing over desperately.

As a result, many devils forgot the task of blasting the cannons at this time, and retreated to the mountain behind with their weapons in hand.

Because, anyone with a bit of military common sense knows that it is much easier to defend on a high mountain than on a flat bottom, and it is easier to save your life.

More and more devils retreated towards the top of the hill after seeing the Eighth Route Army approaching.

However, there are still many devils who are not afraid of death, staying on the road and continuing to blow up supplies and artillery.

During the charge of the troops, violent explosions sounded continuously on the road.

And every time an explosion reached Wang Ping's ears, Wang Ping felt a pain in his heart.

Because, in his eyes, what the Japanese army bombed now is not theirs, but their own.

After two consecutive days of bloody battles, the Independent Regiment had exhausted almost all of its reserves.If it cannot be replenished in time, it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time. As the head of the regiment, Wang Ping knows this fact better than anyone else.

Therefore, Wang Ping is bound to win the artillery, weapons and ammunition carried by the Japanese army!
