"Damn it!"
Seeing with his own eyes that a heavy machine gun was blasted into the sky by the enemy's tank cannon, Balsos, whose face was covered in gray, cursed angrily.
Pfft…
The Japanese attacking troops were still approaching, and people were shot and fell to the ground all the time on the battlefield where bullets were flying.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for air fighters to return to replenish ammunition, the appearance of Japanese tanks at this time really caused a lot of trouble for their side. The soldiers relied on the trench defense lines temporarily arranged in this highland to resist with all their strength, but the number of casualties was also increasing. The climb made Balsos feel heavier and heavier.
Apart from a small number of bazookas, they don't have any decent anti-tank weapons. Even a top-attack attack by a 60mm mortar may not be able to destroy the Type 97 tank. At most, it can destroy the Type 97 tank. Personnel suffered certain concussion injuries.
After all, it is a fact that the charge of small-caliber mortars is not much, and the shells are only detonation fuzes, which explode on contact. There is no hard armor-piercing head like the hood armor-piercing projectile, and there is no hollow charge like the shaped armor-piercing projectile. Designed to be just a simple blast grenade.
The machine gunner not far away had just set up a light machine gun, but before he could even take a single shot, he was hit in the head by a bullet fired from an unknown source. The deputy gunner pushed the corpse away and was about to push on top of it when he fired another precise shot. , a bloody eye suddenly popped out of his helmet, and his body fell straight backwards.
There are snipers!
Balsos cautiously exposed half of his head, picked up the telescope and carefully observed the situation ahead.
The battlefield in front of them was filled with flames, and the lush bushes blocked a large part of the field of vision. Except for the few Japanese tanks that kept firing and the stormtroopers actively moving back and forth in front of the position, it was impossible to see where this cold shot came from.
boom!
Another artillery shell hit a machine gun position somewhere. The force of the explosion directly opened a hole in the trench, and even the man and the gun were blown away several meters away.
Although the Type 97 47mm tank gun does not penetrate deeply enough at a distance of eight to nine hundred meters, it is more than enough to hit machine gun fire points, and its accuracy is quite high.
The little devils are very cunning. Maybe they also know that they will be bombarded by rockets if they walk in, so they stick to this distance and shoot at the top of the mountain. Anyway, there are no large-caliber artillery on the opposite side, so they can only be beaten passively.
The tanks did not cover the infantry charge but hid behind them as field artillery. Only the Japanese could come up with such a bizarre tactic.
But it was indeed so angry that Balsos gritted his teeth. Even if he had a few 37 anti-aircraft guns in his hand, the opponent would not be so arrogant.
Compared with the elusive snipers, the Japanese tanks obviously pose a greater threat to our own side.
However, the bazooka in his hand could not pose a threat to it at all, and it was not painful to bombard the opponent with mortars. In addition, the Japanese offensive troops continued to approach, and the battle situation had gradually fallen into a disadvantage.
"Spread out! Don't get together! Where's Julio? Ask him to lead a team of people to go around from the side and knock out those tanks for me!"
"Report to captain, Captain Julio has been killed..."
"..." Balsos was obviously stunned, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly but he didn't say a word.
Looking around, nearby soldiers were rescuing the wounded. There were a large number of wounded or dead bodies lying on the ground. He realized that if adjustments were not made, the troops would probably be slowly exhausted by the Japanese.
"Stop fighting them, notify the rear artillery to fire the next volley of smoke grenades, and then everyone mounts bayonets for a countercharge!"
Now the Japanese troops are fighting them from a medium distance. Although the mortars on their side have caused heavy losses to the opponent's infantry, the Japanese tanks have also brought a lot of trouble to their own side. The individual Japanese soldiers have low firepower but sharp marksmanship. , the casualties of the paratroopers began to increase exponentially.
There are only a few hundred troops around. It is not worthwhile to fight a war of attrition with the opponent. It is better to engage in a melee with the opponent, directly defeat the Japanese offensive, and take the opportunity to get close to those tanks.
After Balsos gave the order, the soldiers immediately hid in the trenches, loaded ammunition, fixed their bayonets... and began to take action...
The artillery quickly fired a round of smoke grenades. When the enemy's sight was blocked, the leading officer took the lead, and the soldiers also rushed out of the position with shouts.
"The first team is in the center, the second team and the third team protect the two wings. Follow me!"
"Come on!"
"Kill them..."
After the shells passed, smoke filled the air. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with white and choking smoke. The little Japanese lying in it didn't know why, but the sudden shouts of the crowd in front of them made them subconsciously tense up. It seemed that Something is wrong.
"Kill!"
One after another figures rushed out of the thick fog and rushed towards the still confused Japanese soldiers without any explanation. Bayonets and bullets were fired at the enemy.
It has to be said that although these South American soldiers from the Mai detachment are not impressive in appearance, their fighting methods are very brave. Their short and compact bodies are very strong, and they will not lag behind in hand-to-hand combat with the little devils.
These people have a lot of skills in hand-to-hand combat, and they don't care about martial arts at all, such as licking their vaginal legs, blowing sand into the lake's eyes, hitting the few with more... Anyway, if you can shoot, you will never use the bayonet first, and if you can kill two, you will never use the bayonet first. Go it alone.
Every soldier of the Mai detachment carries a paratrooper knife on his leg or waist, which plays a great role in close combat after all the tricks are exhausted. In addition, they have long-term experience in the jungle and their innate ability to fight. With his unique fighting skills, he made the little devil miserable and quickly put the opponent at a disadvantage.
Due to the melee between the two sides, the tanks behind the Japanese army could no longer fire at this time, and their own artillery shells had begun to extend backwards. It was difficult for the Japs to break through the blockade of artillery fire even if they wanted to send reinforcements.
At the same time, while everyone's attention was attracted by the frontal melee, Balsos led a dozen soldiers with heavy equipment to sneak around from the side, preparing to take the opportunity to take out the troublesome Type 97 vehicles of the Japanese army. .
The entire battlefield has become a mass of melee. The attacks of the 200th Division and the 50th Division are coming to an end. The Japanese troops staying behind in Nuanshan are completely unable to withstand the offensive of twenty to thirty thousand people, let alone the fighter planes whizzing by in the sky at any time. It can dive bomb, and it didn't even take half a day. Several lines of defense fell one after another, and it was about to be unable to hold it.
However, the Japanese army, which was fully retreating, was blocked halfway by three paratrooper teams of the Merrill Commando. They frantically attacked the Mai detachment across the map to break through the containment circle set by the opponent.
Now it depends on which side moves faster. Once the encirclement formed by the 200th Division, the 50th Division and the Merrill Commando is successfully sealed, then Jiro Kimura and the more than 10,000 little devils will no longer be able to escape.
