Chapter 28 Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared
When the vanguard troops were attacked, Okazaki took the main force to the foot of the mountain.
Sudden gunfire and explosion fooled him.
He really couldn't understand why the 10 or 20 Eighth Route Army had the courage to stop everyone here. Shouldn't they run away?
"Sir, the vanguard troops are over!" Cao Chang shouted in a daze, bringing the shocked Okazaki back to reality.
After the violent explosion, all the soldiers who rushed to the hillside disappeared.
Someone was blown up and fell among the shrubs and stones everywhere, slowly turning into cold corpses...
Someone was injured by a blow, and fell to the ground and screamed in pain...
No one shot and fought back or retreated.
Okazaki's face was extremely gloomy. He felt that he had been fooled again and was slapped hard by the Eighth Route Army in the mountains.
I just swear that the Eighth Route Army was in a hurry to run away and would definitely not send troops to stop everyone and die in vain.
After only ten minutes, the Eighth Route Army used the lives of more than a dozen subordinates to refute themselves.
The anger surged in my heart again, and I pulled out the command knife, raised it over my head, and waved the order forward: "For machine gun protection, the Imperial Army dispatched a squad, the Imperial Army dispatched a platoon to attack the mountain ridge and kill the Eighth Route Army above."
"Hi!" Chief Cao quickly took the order.
With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen Japanese and thirty puppet troops lined up the brigade in just two minutes and slowly rushed up the brigade.
Three machine guns were behind several stones at the foot of the mountain, and kept firing at the high ground to cover the offensive troops.
The two grenade launchers were also raised by the Japanese. The artillery half-squatted beside them, manipulating the grenade launcher with one hand to adjust the shooting direction, holding the grenade in the other hand, ready to fire at any time...
On the top of the mountain, the soldiers were still immersed in the joy of just eliminating more than a dozen Japanese and puppet troops.
The tension before the war was obviously diluted by the victory just now.
The worries on Zhou Cheng's face also sootheed.
As long as the soldiers around him are not nervous and perform their training normally for a month, Zhou Cheng is at least 80% sure to repel an attack from the Japanese and puppet troops.
Some people may say that Zhou Cheng is too arrogant.
A dozen new recruits who had been trained for a month could defeat dozens of Japanese and puppet troops. If the Chinese army had such combat effectiveness back then, the War of Resistance Against Japan would not have been fought for eight years.
In fact, Zhou Cheng’s true confidence in defeating the Japanese and puppet troops was not the new recruits around him, but the blocking position that everyone defended.
Faced with the powerful Japanese and puppet troops, if they compete for combat effectiveness, the village protection team will not be the opponent if they expand their troops ten times.
Since this is the case, Zhou Cheng could only find another way and make up for the poor combat effectiveness of the village protection team through powerful firepower and solid fortifications.
As Zhou Xuhui, he spent a lot of money to buy light machine guns from the Japanese and puppet troops to increase the firepower of the village protection team.
He led the main force of the village protection team to advance to the mountain. In addition to building a real resident, he also built several fake resident in the mountains to confuse the Japanese and puppet troops.
The blocking position they are now not simple. It was built by nearly twenty soldiers in three days and three nights.
Each soldier defends a single bunker.
The bunker was reinforced with logs and large stones, with only one shooting hole facing the Japanese and puppet troops.
Hiding in such a fortification, unless the enemy just shoots the bullet into the firing hole or throws the grenade into the bunker, it will not hurt the soldiers hiding inside.
Of course, such fortifications are not without disadvantages.
If the Japanese and puppet troops were equipped with mortars, these fortifications would turn into paper toys that would be vulnerable.
Zhou Cheng had already considered this clearly.
The Japanese army in Donghui Town only had one reinforcement team, and could be matched with a heavy machine gun. He would definitely not be matched with heavy weapons like mortars.
Without mortars and grenade launchers alone, there is no way to destroy the soldiers' bunkers.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and the same is true for the battlefield.
Okazaki didn't know Zhou Cheng's careful arrangements here, so he was destined to suffer a big loss today.
“Bah…”
After the Japanese and puppet troops rushed to the front of the formation fifty meters, Zhou Cheng was the first to pull the trigger.
A Japanese man fell on the attacking road.
Other comrades joined the battle one after another, and the chaotic gunfire quickly rang out.
The Japanese and puppet troops were unwilling to fall behind. While continuing to approach the top of the mountain, they fought back during the attack.
The three light machine guns called Zhenghuan at the foot of the mountain have been used for the first time in front of the village protection team. They shot wildly at the position where the gun was just now, as if they were shooting their opponents randomly.
Zhou Cheng was the first to shoot and was targeted by a machine gun.
The bullets whizzed over, but were all blocked by the logs and stones around them. No bullet hit the shooting hole and flew into the bunker.
Of course, the cautious Zhou Cheng did not guard the shooting hole and let the Japanese attack.
After killing a Japanese man, he quickly squatted down, and even if a bullet flew into the bunker, he would not be able to hurt him.
After the other comrades fired, they stared at his machine gun and quickly moved the target.
Zhou Cheng seized the opportunity and put another Japanese into the sight.
“Bah…”
The Japanese fell to the ground as soon as the gun fired.
At this time, eight were left of the eleven Japanese attackers, and three of them died in more than thirty puppet troops, and their overall combat effectiveness was not greatly affected.
Looking at the mountain getting closer and closer, Cao Chang felt that he would win this round of attack and no longer hide at the end of the team. He accelerated and ordered: "It's almost up to the top of the mountain. We won this battle, kill you, and rushed up with me and wiped out all the Eighth Route Army."
Impulsiveness can make people crazy and lose their minds, and Cao Cao is no exception.
When he first started attacking, he kept hiding at the end of the team and was very vigilant. Zhou Cheng wanted to kill him in both shootings, but he didn't find any chance to shoot.
Now that he has taken the initiative, Zhou Cheng will certainly not let him go.
The bullet was loaded and quickly put him into the sight, shooting and ordering.
"Everyone throws grenades, one person three, throw them all out... ………”
Chang Cao looked at the hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, his face full of incredible feelings, and before he could say a word, he fell to the ground.
At this time, a few black dots entered his eyes, getting closer and bigger...
"Boom...boom..."
The explosion quickly rang in his ears, but he could do nothing, and his head tilted and his breath disappeared!
