After Sergeant Takesaburo Hirata shot down the defender's machine gun, before he could be happy for too long, the Chinese machine gun rang out again and knocked down several Japanese soldiers. This made him very upset because He still missed the grenade before, so he didn't blow up the machine gun;
Since the defenders had the advantage of the terrain, the Japanese suffered a lot in the exchange of fire between the two sides. The two sides exchanged more than the Japanese. This made old Japanese Hirata very unhappy. Now the machine gun in the hands of Platoon Leader Wu has become his focus. Object.
But he found that the new machine gunner was much smoother and had a wider field of vision than the original machine gunner. Several times he tried to sneak up on the Chinese machine gunner, but he was almost knocked down by machine gun fire and lost an assistant;
In the state of the grenade's upward attack, in order to accurately hit the target, he must reach at least within 200 meters, and this distance is exactly the optimal suppressing distance of machine gun fire. It is difficult for him to get close.
Fortunately, the Japanese had a grenade group. After briefly communicating with the grenade man on his left using hand signals, he reached a consensus that the other grenade group would be responsible for attracting firepower, and he took the opportunity to make a sneak attack.
Platoon Leader Wu did not expect that he was being targeted by two old Japanese soldiers. He could not keep staring at a grenadier soldier because there were more important targets on the battlefield, such as Japanese machine guns and a large number of Japanese infantry. He needs to take care of all these, and the firepower of the company is still too weak...
Chen Wu saw that continuing to fight like this was not an option. The Japanese riflemen's marksmanship was too accurate. Many soldiers were killed or injured in a row in dozens of steps. He decided to change his fighting style.
He asked the signal corpsman to call the three platoon leaders over. After the interview, the three platoon leaders left. After a while, the firepower of the defenders weakened. Many people pretended to be shot and retreated into the trenches, exposing themselves. There were only thirty or forty people left outside, and among them was the platoon leader's machine gun. Without this machine gun, the Japanese would have rushed up.
The firepower of the defenders gradually weakened, and it was soon noticed by the squad leader, Lieutenant Watanabe Ryokichi. He felt happy immediately. After discussing with another squad leader, he decided to launch a final attack and break through the defenders' defense line in one fell swoop.
Three machine guns suppressed fire from the left and right directions, and then the Japanese bugler blew the charge trumpet. The remaining more than 70 Japanese from the two teams launched a general attack on the defender's position. Chen Wu stood up Machine guns cannot suppress it at all;
Soon the Japanese group rushed to about 40 to 50 meters away and were about to break into the defenders' position. Lieutenant Watanabe was just happy when he suddenly heard a whirring sound. When he looked up, he turned pale with fright. Yelled loudly:
"Enemy attack!"
Dozens of grenades almost fell into the crowd of Japs along with his screams. The terrifying lethality of the German-made long-handled grenades instantly became a nightmare for the Japs!
After each grenade explodes, it will produce dozens of fragments, with a radius of more than seven meters. Dozens of grenades will instantly produce thousands of fragments, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese in the charging state...
"Bageya Road, you have been fooled by the Chinese!"
If Lieutenant Watanabe hadn't reacted quickly, he would have reported to the ghost club in advance;
Others were not as lucky as they were. He visually inspected that at least twenty or thirty Japanese were taken away by Amaterasu in this round of fire attacks. They were packed into sacks, and no one knew how many sacks they contained.
Watanabe was still holding on to a lucky mentality, and just when he was still debating whether to retreat, another group of grenades flew past the defenders' position, and it was so dark that he shuddered when he saw it;
For the second round of bombing in a row, they didn't lean out at all. They huddled in the trench and threw it outwards with all their strength. They always bombed a few Japs when they dropped from a high position. This style of play made the Japs suffer a lot. In addition, there were dozens of people still firing on the position. With a gun, the Japanese were almost suppressed and were beating, causing heavy casualties.
The first company commander's clever tactics effectively restrained the Japs. After throwing three rounds of grenades, the Japs finally couldn't stand it any longer. Under the command of Lieutenant Watanabe, the Japs withdrew with alternate cover;
During the retreat, seven or eight more Japs were knocked down. In the end, only more than 40 Japs retreated, which was no longer enough to form a small team.
“Bagya Road!
waste!
Two squads of the Imperial Army couldn't attack a small hillside. The Imperial Army has been completely embarrassed by you! "
After finishing his scolding, Captain Taniguchi still felt angry, so he slapped Lieutenant Watanabe twice, knocking out two of his teeth. It was really a death sentence, but a life sentence.
Lieutenant Watanabe could only swallow his teeth and blood, and then said to Captain Taniguchi very sincerely - Arigado!
The Japs had an almost perverted hierarchy. After being slapped twice after a defeat, Lieutenant Watanabe had to stick his butt out and say thank you. The extremely cruel Japs had no bottom line when it came to being mean.
Under normal circumstances, Captain Taniguchi would not fight Lieutenant Watanabe. After all, he was about to be promoted to captain, so he would give him some face, but Captain Taniguchi thought that this bastard Watanabe had no shame at all.
There were 108 people in the two squads, including the 57 machine gunners who returned in the end, and 51 died, which was almost one-third of the entire squadron. If the 12 casualties on the right wing were added, the Taniguchi Squadron had been crippled.
Now that their squadron is unable to capture the Chinese position alone, they need to ask the captain for tactical guidance, which will result in a beating. Thinking of this tooth makes me feel a dull pain——
"Bagaya Road, Watanabe, you loser! Why are you still standing here? Quickly ask for tactical guidance from the captain!"
Lieutenant Watanabe Rumeng Dahe turned around and left with his command knife.
Taniguchi did not want to ask the captain for tactical guidance, but he had no choice. In addition to the 19 people in the squadron headquarters, his squadron now had less than a hundred combatants who could breathe, and many of them were lightly wounded.
It's not that they don't want to continue attacking, it's that they can't attack anymore.
The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and the situation of the first company was not very good, with a total of more than 40 casualties. If the company commander behind had not had an idea and used a large number of grenades to defeat the Japanese, they would have withstood the Japanese attack.
"Company Commander, our brothers have sacrificed 27 people, and there are also 5 seriously injured people. If they cannot be sent out in time, they may not survive the victory!"
Platoon Leader Wu's words made Chen Wu feel very uncomfortable. These were brothers who lived with him day and night, but he still couldn't spare the time to send the seriously injured brothers down. They still had missions and couldn't expose the direction of the main force. He After thinking for a moment he said:
"It is estimated that the Japs will launch a new round of attack soon. This time it may be at the brigade level. This is not something we can handle. You ask the 1st squad leader to lead the 1st squad to carry the injured brothers aside and hide them. Japs After defeating us, there will be no time to search the battlefield. Whether they can survive until these devils are destroyed depends on their lives."
Chen Wu felt uncomfortable after saying these cold words, but this is war, and Ci is not in charge of soldiers. When he accepted this difficult task, he already regarded the whole company as dead. If he could destroy this group of Japanese soldiers, he would continue to fight It’s worth it alone.
Platoon Leader Wu took the order and left, while Chen Wu led the others to consolidate their positions and face a new round of storm...
