Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 744 Victory in sight? (First update!)

There will be casualties in the war. Ma Dongyun still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army in the field, and at the same time overestimated the role of the trenches in facing the devils.

The tenth company, which had already suffered heavy losses, was almost wiped out by the shells and grenades.

Fortunately, the recruits of the Tenth Company were all veterans of the Anti-Japanese War, and they knew that there would be no good results after being captured by the devils.Therefore, in the face of heavy casualties, no one chose to retreat or surrender, and they all gritted their teeth and persisted.

"Company commander, there are more than 20 soldiers left in the whole company!" The platoon leader reported sullenly as soon as the devil's artillery fire was about to stop.

"Let everyone prepare for battle, gather all the grenades together, hit them as before, smash the grenades out in the shortest time, and retreat after throwing the grenades. If we don't stay here for one more minute, our mission is completed!""

The row leader couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as they retreat, the remaining people of the entire company can survive, and the entire platoon will not be wiped out on the battlefield.

More than 100 ghosts, layer upon layer, rushed towards the mountainside like waves.

The devils were equipped with six heavy machine guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, and they fired at the mountainside as if they were free of bullets.The swishing bullets intertwined an airtight bullet net above the tenth company's head, so that everyone had no chance to show their heads.

"Grenade ready!" Ma Dongyun ordered when the devil was more than 40 meters away from the defense line.

"So fast?" The platoon leader couldn't help reminding.

"Company commander, throw the grenade out now, it won't blow up the devils at all!"

"Our troops are not half as strong as before. We will not even have a chance to retreat when the devils get close. And we don't want to kill many devils in this round of blocking." Ma Dongyun frowned and explained.

In fact, there was still a word in his heart that he didn't say.

Throwing the grenade now can form a firepower band formed by grenade fragments in front of the devils, blocking all the devils in this line, allowing them to gather together, and maximize the power of the heavy machine gun.

Because time was limited, he did not explain in detail, letting his subordinates learn in battle.

"Throw the grenade! Throw all the grenades out, and then retreat!" Ma Dongyun ordered decisively, and threw out the grenade in his hand.

"Boom boom boom..."

A violent explosion quickly sounded in front of the position.

The devils were not far behind, mortars, grenades, and desperately fired shells and grenades into the trenches.

Although the devils who were attacking were in a hurry, they were not so stupid as to continue to charge forward knowing that they were going to die.

Everyone stopped outside the grenade explosion area, and waited for the artillery and grenadiers to blow up the exposed Eighth Route Army in the trench, and then continued to rush forward and took down the Eighth Route Army's position in one go.

At the foot of the mountain, all the Japanese and puppet troops were staring at the battlefield, especially Major Ida, who stared at the battlefield without blinking.

Whether he can stop the Eighth Route Army before they slip away again depends on the attack in front of him.If he still can't break through here, he should at least stay here for at least 10 minutes. This is definitely not the result that Ida Shaozuo wants to see.

"Sir, the number of hand grenades thrown by the Eighth Route Army seems to have decreased!" The adjutant next to him shouted excitedly.

"Order the troops to prepare to attack. This time, no matter what, we must take down the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army in front. We can't delay here any longer!" Ida Shaozuo gave a rare smile on his tense face, and then ordered through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Ida Shaozuo suddenly saw the attacking troops blocked halfway up the mountain on the battlefield fall to the ground in pieces.

Because the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of gunfire from devils, the heavy machine guns of the Second Battalion on the top of the mountain suddenly joined the battle, which did not attract too many people's attention.

It wasn't until more and more devils were killed that the devils found the three heavy machine guns in the direction of the bullets.

"Baga, the cunning Chinese people actually hid heavy machine guns on the top of the mountain! Heavy machine gun troops, counterattack immediately, suppress their machine gun firepower, cover troops rush up, and kill them!" Shocked Ida Shaozuo felt that he had been tricked He turned into an angry lion in an instant, cursing and ordering.

Then he did not forget to add: "The artillery also counterattacked and destroyed the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine gun position on the top of the mountain for me."

Xiao Yunshan didn't intend to use three heavy machine guns to fight the devils recklessly, that would be death.

After the three heavy machine guns fired, the gunfire never stopped.The whizzing bullets flew towards the devil like rain.

After shooting all the hundreds of bullets brought in in the shortest time, regardless of whether the devils started to fight back, a group of several machine gunners started to retreat with heavy machine guns on their shoulders!

"Sir, the Tuba Road in front of us has retreated!" A few minutes later, the leader of the No. [-] Squadron who was in charge of the attack hurried over, and then answered with his head down, his face very ugly.

Shao Zuo Ida couldn't take care of that much. Although he didn't know the casualties of the first squadron, he had seen the battle just now, and the casualties must be serious.

The troops have suffered so many casualties, if the Eighth Route Army still has them under their noses, then they will suffer a lot.

Without thinking, he ordered: "Go ahead, march forward quickly, kill the Eighth Route Army station first, stop them and then talk about other things!"

"Hi!" The squadron leader replied with a sigh of relief.

The Japanese puppet army, which lost nearly a hundred people, continued to charge forward with murderous intent.

"Sir, there is still a little more than a kilometer away from the Eighth Route Army's garrison!" After walking for almost an hour, the adjutant reminded with excitement on his face.

The outcome is at hand!Ida Shaozuo secretly thought in his heart, his eyes quickly shot two bright lights outwards, and then ordered.

"The troops are ready for battle~ If the Eighth Route Army has not moved, there must be a tough battle waiting for us!"

"Have you contacted the headquarters for air support!"

The adjutant quickly replied: "Hi! The brigade headquarters called back. As long as we need it, the aviation unit will be there in an hour and a half at the latest!"

"Yoxi!" Major Ida's eyes became even hotter.

He decisively ordered: "The connection with the brigade headquarters must not be broken. As long as we block the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we will immediately call for air support!"

"The troops continue to advance. As soon as the infantry artillery team arrives at the village, they will choose a position outside the village to arrange artillery positions. The mortar unit and the heavy machine gun unit will attack with the team and strive to directly enter the village!"

Full of confidence, Major Ida led the troops to continue to charge forward. When the forward troops could see the entrance of the village, a burst of gunshots suddenly rang out from the high ground next to the entrance of the village.

"There are troops blocking the entrance of the village. The Eighth Route Army in the village must not have completely retreated!" The blocking troops that suddenly appeared not only did not disappoint and worry Ida Shaozuo, but dispelled his inner worries about whether the Eighth Route Army had slipped away. .

With a frown, he ordered: "Artillery, concentrate your firepower and blow up that high ground for me!"

"The second squadron, the heavy machine gun squad, is ready to attack and directly enter the village."

"The Royal Association Army followed up, and the No. [-] Squadron supervised the battle. All the Imperial Association Army troops can only advance but not retreat, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

Six mortars, two infantry guns, divided into two artillery positions, the shells hit the high ground like money.

It didn't take long for the high ground to be covered by the thick gunpowder smoke from the explosion of the shells. The flames mixed with a lot of black smoke continued to rise, and the dust was flying!
