"The army behind is closing in. There is no time to hesitate. I suggest charging across the board immediately to highlight the Japanese defense line!" the staff officer seriously suggested to the commander.
The commander thought for a moment: "No, if we attack across the board, the combat effectiveness of each unit will be uneven. Some units may not be able to pass through the Japanese positions even if they are all fired up. I think we should follow the current layout and break through directly from the front. There are armored vehicles in the independent regiment in front, so we can Directly penetrate the Japanese positions along the road, so that our vanguard can establish a defense line along the road and only need to face the Japanese flanks! The pressure will be much less!"
"The Japanese are not fools. How could they wait? They will definitely gather troops near the highway!"
"When the time comes, we will adopt a full-line offensive posture. In fact, we will only take the front line. It will be too late for the Japanese to gather the troops!" Commander Xi decided.
"Also, the Japanese cavalry haven't shown up yet. We don't know what they will do next!"
Everyone was at a loss for words. Indeed, the Japanese cavalry has not appeared yet, and it is always a stone that weighs on everyone's hearts!
Commander Lu quickly spoke: "Whether we attack across the entire line or focus on a small attack to break through, we will always have to face the Japanese cavalry and aircraft in the sky. Therefore, we only need to minimize casualties during the breakout process and break away from the Japanese as soon as possible. Don't The next step is to consider!”
The commander made up his mind: "No need to think about it anymore, order: let the blocking troops break away from the enemy as soon as possible, march eastward with all their strength, join the large forces to break through the Japanese defense line in one fell swoop, and establish a new blocking position eastward!
Order: The independent regiment and the cavalry regiment make a frontal assault eastward along the highway, occupy the frontal positions of the Japanese, and deploy defenses on the spot. The main force of each regiment moves toward the Japanese positions along the highway to expand the scope of safe passage. The logistics team is currently the third echelon with the wounded team!
Order, the cavalry battalion of the third battalion is divided into two groups, and feints from the two wings to attack from the side. Don’t worry about the injuries to the horses, and finally merge with the rear troops to break out from the front..."
A six-company regiment, more than 600 people, rushed out of the smoke of the battlefield and followed the cavalry team without hesitation. The dense figures were listening to the commanders at all levels mobilizing before the battle. All non-combat equipment was left to the logistics team. ,All ready to go.
The armored vehicle that had been parked on the road not far from the Japanese position also received the order, and the machine gun muzzle on the armored vehicle finally flashed with fire.
The Japanese had already noticed something strange about the armored car. Although they didn't know where the Eighth Route Army got the armored car, it was not difficult to get rid of the iron lump!
Unfortunately, the armored car is too far away, and the machine gun bullets can't do anything to him for the time being!
A heavy machine gun has been aiming at the armored vehicle, and is ready to fire only when the armored vehicle reaches a range of about 100 meters.
The armor, which is more than one centimeter long, cannot withstand close range fire from a heavy machine gun!
What's more, there are landmines buried on the road!
A large number of Eighth Route Army troops had already crossed a distance of 400 meters, and the newly replaced machine gunners at the Japanese position were busy in a hurry and coughing non-stop.
The grenades from the Eighth Route Army continued to suppress them, and the despicable Tubal Road also fired a lot of smoke bombs and even a few chemical bombs.
A few Japanese grenades huddled in the machine gun bunkers and occasionally emerged. The observers continued to issue parameters, and grenades poured into the Eighth Route Position one after another.
The machine guns on both sides are screaming!
The main target of the grenade is to draw the machine gun position, so that it is mobile for the defender.
"Three hundred meters away from the Japanese position..." The observer reported the distance again, and then the voice continued to pass on.
The military division issued an order to break out across the entire line. Hu Yi basically had the same idea. He had no time to care about whether the people behind could break out: the losses this time would definitely be huge.
"Boss Hu, what should we do now?" Luo Fugui heard the messenger running over to convey the order of the military division.
Hu Yi thought for a moment: "Xu Xiao, immediately notify Wang Peng and the special agent platoon to follow the cavalry battalion and rush over first."
"Yes!" Xu Xiao replied, turned around and ran away!
"Mule, notify Ma Liang immediately. Li Xiang will lead people to break out behind the armored vehicles and cavalry!"
"Boss Hu, if we charge from such a long distance, we will be wiped out in one shot by the Japanese. Look, they all rushed out of the military division. Why don't we follow them?"
"You have to remember that on the battlefield, the faster you run, the harder it is for bullets to bite you, do you understand?"
"Boss Hu, as you said before, run a few steps and then roll on the ground twice? Run again?"
"Believe it or not, I'll kick you to death? Go and notify me immediately!"
Under the scorching sun, it was the Eighth Route Army wearing the uniforms of the Japanese cavalry!
Everything was just to confuse the enemy planes hovering in the sky. After a trot, the cavalry began to speed up, and a large cloud of dust slowly rose from the ground. The people following behind burned the withered grass they carried on both sides of the road, and the widow's team threw the withered grass into it. The fire was burning, and the people who came up poured water into the fire. For a moment, the fire began to emit thick smoke, and the smoke slowly dispersed, covering the charging team.
The armored vehicle at the front approached the Japanese position about a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, the machine gun on the armored vehicle opened fire first, and the first target was the heavy machine gun position on the side of the Japanese highway.
The sudden bullets hit near the heavy machine gun position. The bullets penetrated into the ground and made a crisp sound. Occasionally they hit the machine gun and made a crisp sound.
The Japanese machine gunner and his ammunition hand fell down in a large area with a crash. The heavy machine gunner hesitated for a moment, then quickly got up, then pulled the machine gun and released it.
Some of the cavalry dismounted, jumped into the ditch on the road, and opened fire on the Japanese machine gun array. Some of them spread their legs and charged towards the Japanese machine gun position.
After entering a distance of more than a hundred years, the infantry in the Japanese trenches finally emerged, with accurate marksmanship and whistling bullets constantly taking the lives of the attackers.
Dozens of cavalrymen jumped over the armored vehicles and accelerated along the road to charge towards the Japanese positions ahead.
If the Japanese machine gun position is not suppressed by armored vehicles, then no horse can rush to the Japanese position!
War horses are different from people. If the vital parts are not shot, they can even continue running for a certain distance!
The closer you are to the enemy's position, the less chance you have of getting shot, because the enemy's shooting range is narrower!
The distance of a hundred meters, which is about ten seconds for the cavalry, could only fire a row of guns at random from the enemy position in front of them. The cavalry rushed close to the position. At first, more than a dozen horses fell to the ground and were still able to move. The soldiers immediately used the wounded and neighing horses as cover and raised their guns to shoot at the Japanese positions. As for the Japanese infantry, the machine guns on the armored vehicles would take care of them!
The road surface is slightly higher than the Japanese positions in the open area, and the line of sight is blocked by dust and fog. We can only shoot at the Japanese heavy machine gun positions based on our feelings.
The charging cavalry rushed along the road to the flank of the Japanese position, and immediately dispersed to both sides of the road, no longer thinking about whether the horses would break their hooves.
The Japanese machine gun position was twenty or thirty meters away from the road. In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through the encirclement, the Japanese blocked the front line to a relatively long position. Now, there was not much chance to close it again.
Even so, hundreds of Japanese soldiers fired intensively at the front, and the eight groups who charged fell down in pieces!
The cavalry captain next to the major was not happy because he had killed so many Eighth Route Army soldiers. Instead, his heart sank.
He did not expect that Tubal Road not only had cavalry, but also armored vehicles, and the machine gun positions were blocked by Tubal grenades. They broke through the defense line hastily established by the warriors in a few clicks. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army would have just relied on these few people. When charging, most of them have to fall on the way to attack.
Due to problems with the war horses, too much time was wasted, the fortification work was too hasty, and the hastily arranged trenches were full of loopholes.
By the way, when do warriors need trenches when fighting on the Tubal Road?
At this time, the aviation troops in the sky were still circling to watch the fun!
The captain immediately ordered the messenger next to him: "Send a report to the headquarters immediately and request the aviation force to bomb and attack along the highway!"
Li Xiang led more than a dozen of his soldiers and ran along the road for nearly 200 meters. After gauging the distance, he immediately jumped into a ditch on the side of the road.
Then he pressed the grenade in his hand into the soil outside the ditch, followed closely by the ammunition hand next to him, pulled out a grenade and stuffed it into the muzzle.
Li Xiang adjusted the range screw based on his feeling and took a random look. He couldn't see clearly anyway. The dust brought by cavalry passing by was flying everywhere near the highway!
As the firing belt was pulled, a grenade shot into the sky with a bang. The soldiers next to him followed suit. After they dispersed, they each found their place, and the other four grenade launchers opened fire one after another.
No one gave an order, but all five grenades rushed toward the bunker dug by the Japanese radio soldiers.
The farthest landing point is twenty or thirty meters away...
The Japanese messenger arrived near the radio soldiers' bunker. A grenade exploded near him, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose up. Lao Gao's head was buzzing from the shock. He didn't care whether he was injured or not. He crawled on the ground towards the radio soldiers' bunker. Move side.
Another grenade exploded next to him, and the air wave lifted him up and threw him directly into the bunker.
A large area of 38-meter gunfire fired from the Japanese position, aiming at the faces that were getting closer and closer.
About thirty meters away, both sides began to throw grenades at each other randomly.
Under the scorching sun and filled with gunpowder smoke, it was even harder to see clearly.
Gao Yidao didn't expect that Hu Zasui didn't even say hello, but just ran forward with his people following the cavalry.
Even though he was itching with hatred, he couldn't do anything because the charge horn sounded behind him.
It seems that I haven't heard the Charge for some years.
The blood in my heart couldn't help but boil again. Under his command, the Second Company skillfully threw grenades on the way forward, and then quickly jumped into the crater to provide fire support to the comrades who were advancing alternately...
