Chapter 286 The real dish hasn't been served yet
The subordinates around the Japanese squadron leader also formed several bayonet formations.
Originally, there were only a dozen subordinates, but the more they charged, the more subordinates they gathered. When the two sides were still forty or fifty meters apart, one-third of the surviving Japanese troops in the pocket formation had gathered around the squadron leader.
A total of three bayonet formations were formed, and the finished font was blocked in front of the squadron leader.
The squadron leader's desperate face rekindled a trace of hope, and he used the bayonet that the Imperial Army was good at fighting head-on with the enemy. The squadron leader was confident that he would use more than 30 people to defeat a company of the Chinese army.
The opponents rushing towards him seemed to have only one company. If they could be killed, the troops might have done everything they could to kill the exit bag formation and successfully break through.
The more the squadron leader thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was operational. The command knife held in his hand was higher than before, and ordered at the top of his voice: "Tell all the warriors to kill the national-savior army in front of us as quickly as possible, and then break out from us head-on..."
I heard that everyone still has the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, running faster than before, and morale has also increased to a higher level. I wish I could rush to the enemy opposite now, kill them, and then break out.
Dreams are good, but reality is very cruel.
When the distance between the two sides was shortened to more than 30 meters, the National Salvation Army rushing towards him suddenly raised a large number of pistols and submachine guns.
The squadron leader was very lucky and happened to hit the gun of the guard company.
The Guard Company is a reinforcement company, which undertakes the task of protecting the regiment headquarters. Its equipment and firepower are more than one level higher than that of the ordinary infantry company.
In addition to adding a fire platoon than the ordinary infantry company, the guard squad directly under the guard company is equipped with submachine guns, and is usually guarded in the regiment headquarters as a guard, and rushes to the front as a sharp knife unit during wartime, killing and killing the enemy in large quantities and having vitality.
"Da da da...slap..."
The Japanese were stunned for a moment, and the submachine gun and pistol had already fired.
During melee firefighting, the submachine gun and twenty-shot box cannons are no less powerful than a light machine gun.
Ten submachine guns and seven box cannons fired volleys, and dense bullets quickly woven a firepower net in front of the Japanese, hitting the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand.
There were twelve Japanese devils in the front of the bayonet, intertwining each other and blocking the squadron leader. They were also the closest group of people from the guard company, and they were the first to be victims of twenty box cannons and submachine guns.
As soon as the gun fired, this row of Japanese soldiers was shot and fell to the ground, and no one escaped. Then there were Japanese soldiers in the second row of two bayonet formations...
"Bageyalu, such a cunning enemy, it's so shameless to shoot when we're going to fight for bayonets..."
The squadron leader's face was full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and cursed. After saying this, he became decadent, and rushed out of the pocket formation's confidence and hope were completely wiped out by this round of gunshots.
The gunshot stopped, and the more than thirty subordinates surrounding him instantly dropped to less than ten, and the others were all beaten into sieves.
"Fight against the enemy, even if you die here, you will have to pull a few people!" This is the last military order issued by the squadron leader.
Then, like an ordinary soldier, he rushed towards the national rescue army with a command knife.
After firing the bullets in the magazine, the submachine gunman quickly retreated and left the remaining Japanese on the battlefield to the rifleman behind him.
Several platoon leaders did not retreat, quickly inserted the box cannon into the chamber, grabbed the rifle on their backs, held it tightly, and looked forward with flat hands, running and searching for the Japanese soldiers closest to him. When both sides were still two or three meters away, they held the rifle tightly and stabbed forward with force...
A series of metal hits quickly sounded on the battlefield.
Both sides were trying to stab the bayonets into each other's body.
The Japanese are indeed very good at fighting bayonets, but they are too few, less than one-tenth of the guard company.
Although they took some advantage in the moment of contact between the two sides, they were soon suppressed by the military advantage of the guard company.
“Baga…”
A Japanese soldier seized the opportunity to stab the bayonet into the stomach of a soldier in the country. After stabbing, he subconsciously pulled out the bayonet and continued to stab the second target.
But the soldiers of the National Saving Army who were stabbed seriously by him were too strong. They pulled the barrel of the rifle tightly and did not let go. No matter how hard the Japanese tried, they could not pull out the bayonet.
The two comrades next to them found the opportunity, holding the bayonet rifle, stabbed forward with force from left and right. The Japanese who were trying to pull the bayonet could not avoid it, and two blood holes were stabbed in their stomachs. The moment the bayonet was pulled out from the Japanese body, the blood fountain sprayed out along the wound like a fountain.
The Japanese's eyes quickly widened, showing an expression of incredible belief.
He didn't expect that he would be defeated by killing one of the people who was on the back, and even lost his life...
The Japanese squadron leader was particularly fierce and had strong combat power. He held the handle of the command knife in both hands, slashed left and right, and injured several soldiers in succession.
Because the command knife was very long and was waving by the squadron leader, it was difficult for the soldiers holding rifles to approach. For a moment, they had no choice but to let him rush around on the battlefield.
At this time, a squad leader appeared in front of him. Seeing that everyone could not get close to him with a bayonet, he decisively took out the turtle box.
"Smack it..."
He fired three shots in a row, and two of the bullets penetrated into the squadron leader's body and quickly took his life away.
The three surviving Japanese devils were lucky enough to form a bayonet formation before the two sides contacted each other and stabbed three soldiers to death in a row in less than a minute.
The powerful thorn fighting ability made other soldiers around him feel fearful and surrounded them and did not dare to move forward.
A platoon ran over and opened his mouth and cursed: "Are you all pigs? So many people can't even deal with three Japanese devils? They can't beat the bayonets and they can't use guns?"
"Platform leader, I'll get out of here!" a machine gunner next to him shouted when he heard the news.
Several riflemen quickly made way out of a passage, and then they saw the machine gunner running over with a crooked handle...
The three Japanese were finally scared and started to scream, not knowing what to say.
The machine gunners don't care about these things, they just hold fire at them...
Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu went around the battlefield and returned to Zhou Cheng. He was so excited to report after eating honey.
"The leader of the regiment, we killed all the Japanese who entered the pocket array, and none of them missed the net. The Japanese squadron leader was beaten to death by one of our squadron leaders. I briefly learned about it. Our own casualties were no more than two platoons."
"You have to add submachine guns and twenty-shot box cannons to the bayonet battle. After the first round of firepower attacks in the ambush battle, there were about a hundred Japanese who could fight against us on the battlefield. We used submachine guns and twenty-shots to fight against us. Less than one-third of the Japanese survived and fought against us for bayonets."
"The pistols also played a huge role when they were stinging."
"Faced with the Japanese bayonet formation, many soldiers were helpless. One of them was killed when they went up. As soon as the squad leader equipped with pistols appeared, the Japanese formed a formation would be finished."
"After they killed one or two of the bayonets in a group by them with pistols, the remaining Japanese were immediately stabbed into sieve by the soldiers. If these pistols did not disrupt the formation of Japanese Japanese at critical moments, the thirty Japanese who were strangled with us could at least kill us forty or fifty soldiers."
"The firepower attack before the charge was also very good. Kill the Japanese heavy machine guns and artillery troops as soon as possible so that they would not have the chance to suppress us. In this way, we can launch an attack on the Japanese as soon as the firepower attack is completed, and fight quickly and do not give the Japanese a chance to destroy weapons and ammunition."
"They brought the mortars and light and heavy machine guns into the pocket array, all of which were intact and threw them on the mountain roads. We can use them by equiping the troops!"
Zhou Cheng's expression was calm, and this result was long as he expected.
The advantage of troops, firepower, and terrain advantages are all on your side. If you can't win, then don't do it as the leader of your regiment.
The order was very calm: "The two seized mortars were directly equipped with the mortar platoon of the gun company. The two heavy machine guns had one firepower company, and the light machine guns and grenade launchers were all distributed equally to three companies. The seized rifles and ammunition were all concentrated together, and the light and heavy weight were also left. The second row of the guard company was left to protect the wounded and the extra weapons and ammunition."
"It's 10 o'clock in the evening now. I'll prepare for you for two hours. As soon as the troops arrive in the morning, we will set off! The surrounding area is just part of our mission tonight. Next, attacking a county town is the top priority."
"Although the Japanese army only stationed half of the garrison in Xiyang and did not pay much attention to Xiyang, there are also many things that the garrison should have in Xiyang City, especially the arsenal and grain warehouses."
"As far as I know, the Xiyang garrison has not been attacked for several months."
"But the weapons and ammunition that the superiors have supplemented them have not stopped. A batch will be shipped at the beginning of each month to reduce the amount of what is used for training. Most of the remaining weapons and ammunition are in the arsenal. If we take the arsenal, we will definitely have a lot of unexpected gains."
Chen Zhengyu has already enjoyed the dividends brought to the troops by the arsenal, just like the secret arsenal built by the Jinsui Army behind enemy lines. It not only greatly supplemented the troops' ammunition, but also brought four mountain cannons that they could not buy even if they had money, a large number of submachine guns, and twenty box cannons...
These are all unexpected surprises brought by the arsenal to the National Salvation Army, and treasures that cannot be seized when fighting against the Japanese.
When Chen Zhengyu heard that there was also an arsenal in Xiyang County and had a lot of ammunition stored there, his eyes immediately began to shine, and he wanted to take it down now.
Focusing on Zhou Cheng, he asked: "Captain, the arsenal is a good thing, we must take it down no matter what."
"But what we are going to deal with this time is the Japanese. They are more determined to destroy weapons and ammunition before they die. What if they realize that Xi Yang can't defend it and temporarily blow up the arsenal?"
Zhou Cheng's calm face finally showed a slight fluctuation, and he smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I've already thought about this question!"
"You haven't noticed that Wang Tieshan's reconnaissance team hasn't appeared around us for two days?"
"They have been practicing soldiers for so long, and their food and use are better than ordinary troops. It is time to pull out and practice with the Japanese to dispel everyone's concerns and make everyone realize that it is worth it to set up a reconnaissance team at such a large price!"
