Chapter 296 They definitely did it on purpose
"Da da da...Da da...Da da...Boom boom..."
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When the attacking troops were fifty or sixty meters away from the blocking position, at least ten flames suddenly appeared in the blocking position in front of the captain, several of which were thick and long. You could tell at a glance that it was fired by a heavy machine gun.
At the same time, a small hill bag with three straight 92 styles also exploded.
The splashing flames looked particularly dazzling under the night, and even the scene of the machine gunner being blown away could be seen clearly.
The confident expression on the captain's face disappeared suddenly, and his face turned pale because there were too many grenades hitting the heavy machine gun position at the same time.
At one glance, at least eight fireballs rose from the mountain buns. The moment the explosion sounded, a heavy machine gun was silent on the spot and disappeared.
Look at the attacking troops, after being hit by at least ten light and heavy machine guns at the same time, the two rows of soldiers in the front were like ripe wheat, and were instantly swept down by bullets...
The captain panicked and quickly ordered: "Retreat, the attacking troops retreat immediately... The heavy machine gun team also moved, leave there immediately..."
"Our grenade launcher troops will fight back immediately and kill me the golden enemy grenade launcher troops!"
More than fifty Japanese attacked, and in the end, less than twenty Japanese successfully retreated. One heavy machine gun was blown up and two were snatched out, but more than half of the machine gunners were injured and half...
Faced with this result, the captain had the intention to cry.
The real battlefield of Xiyang has not arrived yet. He only encountered the enemy's blocking troops and suffered such great losses. Before he could break through the enemy's blocking positions, he continued to fight at this loss rate. More than 200 people under his command were wiped out before he could reach Xiyang.
The captain could not accept the result anyway, so he immediately looked at his deputy and asked.
"Is it possible to bypass the enemy's blocking position and directly kill Xiyang!"
The deputy captain of the marching route to Xiyang has studied thoroughly. He was clear about where to go and where not to go. He shook his head in his mind when he looked at him in the squadron leader.
"We must break through the enemy's blocking position in front of us before we can reach Xiyang City."
"More than 90% of Xiyang's area is mountains and hills, and there are very few roads to walk. If we really want to take a detour, we have to retreat ten kilometers before we can find a fork in the road. There is a small road there to reach Xiyang, but we have to walk at least four hours more, and the mountain road is more rugged than the road under our feet, and the risk of attack is definitely higher!"
A trace of helplessness flashed across the captain's face, and he thought for a while and ordered: "Then we will continue to attack..."
"This time the mortar team also participated in the battle, suppressing the enemy's grenade launcher troops, grenade launchers and all light and heavy machine guns to suppress the firepower points on the enemy's blocking positions. Two or three teams launched an attack together, concentrating all firepower, and breaking through the front blocking positions at one time with the fiercest offensive."
This is a way of playing without any room.
If you win, you can say anything. If you lose, or if you have something unexpected happens during the battle, the Japanese will not even have a way out.
The captain knew this very well, and the adjutant also understood it. After hearing this, he looked at the squadron leader with a worried look, hoping that he could carefully consider the order just now.
But the captain couldn't think of any other way.
Xiyang City must provide reinforcements. If the entire Xiyang garrison army is destroyed due to its poor reinforcements and Xiyang City is captured by the enemy, the superiors will definitely hold him accountable.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to fight for the last time. As long as the troops can break through the enemy's blocking position and kill outside Xiyang City within the specified time, even if Xiyang City is lost in the end, the superiors will not be able to hold them accountable for their ineffective reinforcements.
Looking at the adjutant, he answered firmly: "Execute the order!"
The second attack began soon. At the beginning of the attack, the captain saw the same picture as when he first attacked ten minutes ago.
Under the cover of a large number of light and heavy machine guns, the attacking troops were unstoppable and kept approaching the blocking position, as if they were determined to win.
The accident happened again when the offensive troops blocked the position of fifty or sixty meters.
A large number of machine gun fire tongues appeared in the blocking position that the captain was eager to break through. The captain was shocked to his ears after a glance. There were too many light and heavy machine guns suddenly appearing out of the blocking position, and there were at least twenty large and small fire tongues.
The heavy machine gun position was also attacked by grenade launchers at the same time, and at the same time, there were more grenades than before, with more than ten rounds. In just one round of explosion, a heavy machine gun was blown to a silence.
The captain was confused and wanted to curse people very much. It must have been intentional to block the enemy on the position. The firepower produced by each counterattack was twice that of the offensive troops, which clearly suppressed the offensive troops.
But he did not lose his mind and quickly shouted at the top of his throat.
"Mortars and grenade launchers fight back immediately..."
The grenade launcher attacks with the team, and starts counterattack without the command of the captain, using his fastest rate of fire to hit the grenade into the blocking position, weakening the opponent's blocking firepower company.
But they are under great pressure.
The heavy machine guns on the blocking position kept staring at them and fired, with only the grenade launcher showing their heads, and immediately swept over a round of heavy machine gun bullets.
The artillery squad has the least pressure. In order to preserve its strength and avoid unnecessary losses, all three mortars are placed six or seven hundred meters away from the blocking position to ensure that the grenade launchers and heavy machine guns on the blocking position cannot threaten them.
But this also brings another problem: the artillery squad became an isolated army among all the Japanese.
In order to ensure their safety, the first squad that was crippled into two by the captain, half of the soldiers stayed by their side as guards, and half of the soldiers went to the battlefield to protect the artillery squad.
Even so, the artillery squad and seven or eight guards had less than forty Japanese, and most of them were not equipped with rifles.
Zhou Cheng led the spy company, the fourth company and the artillery company to block the Japanese reinforcements based on favorable terrain. The company lurked near the battlefield and stood on standby, ready to give the Japanese a fatal attack at any time.
When the Japanese army concentrated all its troops and firepower to launch an attack, Xiang Feng felt that the opportunity he had been waiting for had come.
He stared at the artillery position isolated by the Japanese.
He immediately ordered the troops to be divided into two, and personally commanded the guard squad and a row of assault artillery positions. The deputy company commander commanded other troops to assault the Japanese offensive positions, and then attacked the Japanese offensive troops forward and backward.
The mountains and night are the best cover for the soldiers. Coupled with the sound of thunder, dozens of soldiers were not discovered by touching the artillery position.
"Dadada..."
Four machine gunners stood up from the ground with crooked handles, hugging the fire while rushing forward.
The sudden rain of bullets instantly killed several Japanese guards near them, and then stared at the Japanese artillerymen and fired.
The machine gunner fired the bullets in the crooked bullet bay empty, or the machine gun had a problem and got stuck. Several cadres immediately followed him quickly joined the battle and continued to shoot at the Japanese with twenty-shot box cannons to ensure that the offensive firepower is not interrupted...
After the two-wheeled bullet rains, more than half of the Japanese on the artillery positions had been injured and killed, and almost all living gunners without self-defense weapons were gunners.
"Roar up and kill all the remaining Japanese..."
Xiang Feng shouted while rushing, took out a new magazine, replaced the empty magazine of the box cannon, loaded the bullets, and continued to shoot...
The riflemen also joined the battle, staring at the unarmed Japanese gunners shooting like targets...
When the artillery position was attacked, the two platoons led by the deputy company commander also stood up from the hiding point.
A total of six crooked hands were held in the arms of the machine gunner, lined up, shooting while rushing.
The captain had only more than a dozen Japanese soldiers around him, so how could he withstand the volley of six crooked wickets?
As soon as the gunshots sounded, more than a dozen Japanese devils fell almost the same.
The Japanese Captain was very lucky to be thrown to the ground by a guard and survived by luck.
Just as he pushed away the guard pressing on him and was about to get up from the ground to observe the enemy situation, the two platoons commanded by the deputy company commander had already rushed to forty or fifty meters behind them.
The six machine gunners rushed in the front suddenly retreated and gave their positions to several cadres. They each fired the box cannons one by one and shot at their location.
The captain had to lie down again, but the goddess of luck was useless this time and continued to favor him.
Before the person could lie down, a stinging pain was already heard from his chest. The bullet drilled into his chest, stirring the internal organs into pieces, and then left it in the Japanese body.
The captain fell to the ground with pain. He was beaten to death without even seeing Xiyang City. He felt both desperate and helpless.
The Japanese offensive troops were under greater pressure. Before receiving the retreat order issued by the squadron leader, they could only continue to rush forward against the bullets fired from the blocking positions.
At this moment, the captain and squadron captain was suddenly attacked.
A large number of enemies suddenly emerged from behind the attacking troops. Not only were they strong in combat power, but they were also surprisingly good in various equipment. They took down the commander and artillery positions of the Japanese reinforcements.
After seeing the enemy eating the squadron leader, he attacked directly at everyone's back, and the Japanese who were still alive in the attacking troops suddenly became panicked.
Because once the opponent's goal is achieved, the attacking troops will fall into a desperate situation of attacking from front to back, and even if the Heavenly King comes, he will not be able to recover the defeat.
Seeing the squadron leader being attacked with his own eyes, his life and death were unknown. The captain of the second team decisively took over the command of the troops and ordered the troops to retreat.
But it was still too late. The Japanese offensive troops had just turned around and were about to retreat. The ambush behind them had already rushed to a nearby position of seventy or eighty meters. The machine gunner who had loaded the bullets rushed to the front of the team again and began to shoot at their backs...
The fourth company and the spy company on the blocking position did not miss this opportunity to beat the dog in the water.
All the light and heavy machine guns that can be used have joined the battle, and the bullets are shot at the Japanese devils without any money, so as to harvest the lives of the Japanese devils to the fullest...
Under the front and back attacks of three companies, dozens of Japanese soldiers were killed in just five or six minutes.
I glanced at the battlefield and saw that there were corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, which was very tragic.
