Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 701 Life and Death (Second Update!)
The Eighth Route Army's offensive troops stopped 50 meters in front of the fortifications.Lie on the ground, neither attacking nor retreating.

Behind them, forty or fifty Eighth Route Army soldiers squatted on the ground, and every two Eighth Route Army troops manipulated a grenadier to aim.

More than 20 grenades were lined up and aimed at themselves. Although they were not as scary as mortars, the caliber and barrel length of grenades were far inferior to mortars. , but Lieutenant Qing Gang knew that as long as the shooting accuracy of these grenades could be guaranteed, the casualties these grenades would cause to his subordinates were no worse than mortars.

The grenadiers were prepared very quickly. As soon as Lieutenant Qing Gang looked over, more than 20 grenadiers began to shoot.

More than 20 grenades hit, and Qinggang's ears were enveloped by violent explosions.

As soon as the explosion was over, Qing Gang poked his head out anxiously to confirm the impact of these grenades.

"It's okay!" Qing Gang Lieutenant Zuo Changsong said with a sigh of relief.

"If the imperial army is allowed to operate these grenades and shoot at such a close range, at least [-]% of the hit rate can be guaranteed, so it is useless for us to hide in the trenches. Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army's hit rate of manipulating the grenade is only [-]-[-]% !"

The deputy captain next to him was not so optimistic, he frowned and reminded: "But, sir!"

"Even if the hit rate of mortars and grenades is very low, the Eight Route Army has a numerical advantage. From this moment on, we lost nearly [-] imperial troops under the joint attack of their mortars and grenades!"

"Our total strength is only more than 400 people. According to such a loss, as long as the eight-way ammunition is sufficient, we can't even hold out for an hour!"

The deputy captain sighed and continued: "If we still have mortars, we only need one squadron. With the skills of our gunners, this kind of face-to-face attack will definitely kill their artillery with ease!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Lieutenant Commander Qinggang's face that was still in despair just now had a flash of hope, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "We don't have mortars, but we still have grenade launchers!"

"We can't hit the Eighth Route Army's mortars, but we can kill the Eighth Route Army's grenadier units that are also a great threat to us. We can also hit their infantry hiding in front of our fortifications, consume them, and reduce our defensive pressure later!"

The deputy captain suddenly reacted: "Sir, you are wise! The grenades can be used not only for offense, but also for defense!"

Lieutenant Qing Gang immediately made a decision: "Then what are you doing here? Gather all the grenadiers left in our hands and hide in the trenches to fight back against the grenadiers of the Eighth Route Army!"

At this time, he just had an idea, if he can persist until dawn, he can persist until dawn. If he really can't persist, he must inflict the greatest damage on the Xinyi regiment before he dies, so as to reduce their threat to the brigade's main force.

Two minutes later, the deputy captain even assembled nine grenadiers.

Soon, a series of explosions sounded around the grenadier troops, seven or eight grenadier players were blown over, and four grenadiers fell to the ground.

"The devils also have grenades. They must be killed, otherwise we and the infantry will become their living targets!" The artillery company instructor who commanded these grenades shouted solemnly.

"Comrades, pay attention, concentrate all the grenadiers, and attack that section of the trench, the little devil's grenadiers are hidden inside!"

After the 5-minute confrontation ended, all the nine grenade launchers that Lieutenant Qing Gang had placed high hopes on were all blown up. Even if they were still usable, they would be turned into scrap iron because the grenade launcher was killed.

More than 20 grenadiers in the new group were almost blown up.

Only the last five grenadiers were left to continue fighting.

The hope that had just been ignited on Lieutenant Qinggang's face was shattered, and together with his subordinates, he fell into a passive state of being beaten again.

"Sir, the loss of the troops has exceeded 150, but the artillery of the Eighth Route Army has no intention of stopping!" After more and more subordinates were blown out of the trenches, the deputy captain became more and more anxious, chasing Lieutenant Qing Gang and asked.

"Wait, keep waiting!" Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang replied with a frown.

At this time, he was shocked by the strength exposed by Xinyituan again.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army has low-level equipment and very little ammunition.Fighting against the imperial army is basically three bullets, one grenade, and then a bayonet.

But the new regiment in front of them was not only well-equipped, but also had sufficient ammunition, so they had no intention of bayoneting the imperial army at all.

Just over ten minutes ago, Xinyi regiment fired at least [-] shells at itself.

Seeing his subordinates' faces getting more and more ugly, Lieutenant Assistant Qinggang hesitated for a while and comforted him: "However, we don't have to worry too much. The Eighth Route Army's ammunition Laiyuan relies on capture. It has been fighting us for so long, and it shouldn't be able to last for too long!"

When the Xinyi regiment attacked the position, Chen Dong, the commander of the artillery company, walked up to Wang Ping and reported with a troubled face: "Regimental commander, there are not many shells left, and there are less than fifty rounds left. I mean, keep them as spares. in case!"

"Stop the shelling!" Wang Ping agreed with Chen Dong's idea and made a decision immediately.

"Heavy machine guns, grenadier cover, infantry rush up, fight for an attack and kill the devil's circular fortification!"

"Comrades, kill me!" The company commander of the new regiment was the first to get up from the ground, and rushed forward with a light machine gun in his hand.

More than 200 Eighth Route Army followed closely behind and launched an attack together.

In the circular fortifications of the Japanese army, as soon as the shelling stopped, Lieutenant Qinggang realized that the Eighth Route Army was about to attack, and his time of life and death had come.

But he did not directly order his subordinates hiding in the trenches to fight back. The heavy machine gun bullets swishing above their heads were still a deadly threat to them.

"Sir, the heavy machine guns of the new regiment covering the attack have stopped firing!" the deputy captain suddenly reminded.

"Enter the position immediately and counterattack! All machine guns, all fire, aiming to kill and injure the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops in large numbers!" Qinggang Lieutenant Commander ordered with the excitement before the battle in his eyes.

Nearly [-] devils, more than half were gathered in the front by Qinggang.

As soon as the counterattack flares rose, more than 200 densely packed human heads, rifles, light machine guns, and several heavy machine guns were scattered in the trenches of more than 200 meters.

"Bang bang bang~ da da da..." Gunshots followed in the trenches.

"Ah..." There was a scream among the attacking troops.

A dozen or so Eighth Route Army troops rushing to the front fell and died on the way to attack.

"Shoot all the machine gunners and suppress the devil's counterattack!" The company commander, holding a light machine gun, lay down on the ground, and the machine gun fired at the devil's ring fortification that was close at hand.

"Where's the grenadier, shoot right away, and kill the devil's heavy machine gun!"

Wang Ping, who was watching the battle from behind, also frowned, staring at the battlefield and ordered: "Company Commander Chen, let the mortars with the highest hit rate fire and kill the light and heavy machine guns on the ground!"
