The order to retreat had been issued, and the assembly area was suddenly bombarded by eight-pronged artillery fire.
Xiong Erlang, who was still looking northward with his telescope on the second floor of the turret, was a little confused. How could Tubalu know that he was preparing for an "attack"?
The main force of Tubal Road has moved westward on a large scale. How can there be such a powerful Eighth Route Army?
Sharpshooters, mortars, grenades, heavy machine guns...
For the imperial army, these are just standard equipment. Tubal Road should use swords and spears...
I have been fighting from the afternoon until now. I can’t last this long without tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition!
Still, he was pleased with his men's quick response.
Elites with excellent shooting skills lay on the ground and fired the grenade to perfection.
One grenade after another, the rats hiding in the green gauze tent were fired with mortars and grenades.
Seeing that his men easily gained the upper hand, it seemed that the Eighth Route Army was not much different except for some tactical tricks.
Some hesitate to issue new orders.
It is not easy to change the assault formation arranged by the newly assembled warriors in the dark.
The Japanese ministries outside the blockhouse carried out orders without compromise.
Even the bodies of previously killed companions were not even given time to be cremated.
The execution of Xiong Erlang's retreat order has begun.
The sound of footsteps began to sound, and soon spread out and swept across the north side of the turret like a wave.
The momentum is astonishing.
After reducing the number of soldiers, most of the squadron of Japanese soldiers quickly dispersed into the darkness and attacked northward.
Another group of Japs spread out and rushed toward the flanks to provide flank protection for the troops about to launch a full-scale attack to the north.
There were constant flashes of explosions in the distance, and there was even more boundless darkness.
The leader of the Japanese suicide squad lowered his body as low as possible and held the rifle in his hand with the muzzle pointing north.
In less than a minute, the leading team had advanced more than 100 meters to the trenches of the second line of defense in front.
Suppressor machine guns on both wings were firing on all cylinders.
The lieutenant in charge of the command originally expected to receive a hail of black bullets from Tubal Road, but unexpectedly found that there was no obstruction from the Eighth Route Army in the trenches.
In the eyes of some Japanese soldiers, facing the unstoppable offensive of the imperial army, Tubal Road in the trenches should have stared in horror at this time, like hunted rabbits that had already fled for their lives under the attack of the imperial army.
The Japanese infantry did not hesitate and used their running speed to jump over the dark second line of defense trenches. Without any stop, they continued to attack northward.
The engineering team that followed was carrying pickaxes and preparing to fill in the trenches that had been dug into trenches on the road.
The machine gun crew lying on the ground and shooting also found that they did not encounter any resistance. They immediately stood up and fired skillfully alternately with the infantry to cover the advance of the commandos charging along the road.
The dark green gauze tent is in sight, and the Eighth Route Army likes to hide in the dark and use black guns to attack...
Still not a shot fired!
The excited second lieutenant, the commander of the Japanese commando, held the handle of his command knife tightly, followed his men with short legs, and shouted loudly to maintain the attack formation and rush northward.
Sweat dripped from my hair and down my forehead without even bothering to wipe it off...
Two wings.
The Japanese assault squadron rushing towards the darkness in the east, the attack was also smooth. Seeing the dark green gauze tent thirty or forty meters in front of them, they were about to enter the bombing distance...
The machine gun team following the assault team on the flanks lay down on the spot and took the lead in firing into the Qingsha tent, providing cover for the assault team with machine gun fire.
Tom.
The Japanese who were rushing forward heard clearly that the eight-pronged position, which had received countless grenades from the imperial army, made the sound of a grenade launching a grenade.
Once more than a hundred imperial troops charge, it is impossible to stop the imperial army's advance with a single grenade fired from all directions.
The sky seemed to sparkle.
Then, a bright moon from my hometown seemed to suddenly appear in the night sky?
The light emitted is even much brighter than the moon.
The figure of the Japanese who bent down to charge vigorously was clearly revealed.
boom.
"beat"
A gunshot and a voice bloomed almost simultaneously like spring thunder in the dark green gauze tent.
The sound of gunfire is an order, and the commander's shout of "fight" is just a habit developed in battle.
Da da da.
Da da
da da da da
clatter.
A company of the Eighth Route Main Battalion lay in a shallow pit on the edge of the green gauze tent, and replenished ammunition from the Ninth Battalion. Two Czech machine guns fired almost at the same time, and the two tongues of flames shone with dazzling light.
Bullets were pulled back and forth in the assault line of charging Japanese skirmishers.
The Eighth Route Light Machine Gunner may be a jerk, and the machine gun shooting has no rhythm at all...
The Japanese lieutenant was left behind, how could he just watch his elite being slaughtered.
Immediately ordered the machine guns and grenade launchers to focus their firepower...
It takes courage to charge, the courage to rush forward against the rain of bullets.
Those Japanese who fell down and could no longer run away might not be dead but had no chance to raise their guns.
Because, in front of them is the back of their companions.
The flare quickly went out.
The charging ghost figure was quickly obscured by the night.
Those Eight Routemasters seemed to have escaped!
Escape with an obvious geographical advantage?
The battle has reached this point, and this result is completely unexpected. No matter from which angle you look at it, retreating when you have the advantage makes no sense!
The lieutenant, who originally thought there would be a fierce battle, hesitated.
My mind is racing
The Eighth Route Army dared to take action against the large number of imperial troops reinforced from the north, and it was impossible to give up the favorable battlefield conditions.
Maybe the Eighth Route Army will devote all its troops to the north.
To the south, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops were launching fierce attacks on the security forces behind them.
There seems to be only one reason for the completely opposite battlefield situation: the Eighth Route Army intends to move north!
To the north, there was a regiment of reinforcements from the Imperial Army, plus a regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army.
Moreover, reinforcements are encircling the Eighth Route.
With Balu's character as timid as that mouse, it was impossible not to know.
What on earth does Tubalu want to do?
Want to introduce the imperial army to hide and seek in the green gauze tent?
Years of combat experience tell me that I must stay calm and not take any chances on the battlefield.
The lieutenant suddenly seemed to understand something. The Eighth Route Army must have wanted to use the green gauze tent to compete with the imperial army for casualties!
Haha, although the Eighth Route Army is more familiar with Qingsha Zhang than the warriors under his command.
But after both sides enter the Qingsha tent, whoever takes the offensive will suffer!
As long as they don't take the initiative to attack the Eighth Route Army, they will never be in a passive position.
Tubalu did not expect that the imperial army would take the initiative to make a strategic shift to the north, and there would not even be a chance to fight against the Eighth Route Army.
In the lieutenant's dictionary, the word escape can only be reserved for the Eighth Route Army!
The bullets fired from the green gauze tent violently knocked some of the brave warriors to the ground.
And more bullets continued to rain roughly across the open field.
After the rain of bullets, wounded Japanese soldiers fell one after another on the open ground, as well as patches of blood...
Seeing his warriors rushing into the green gauze tent, the Japanese lieutenant immediately shouted and issued a new order: "Maintain the formation, establish a defense line, and advance northward with all our strength!"
north.
The Japanese assaulting along the highway seemed to go very smoothly, without even encountering a single bullet!
The second lieutenant finally understood what was going on: the reinforcements from the Imperial Army had reached the edge of the battlefield, and Tubal had escaped!
"Warriors, keep moving forward. Everyone must remember that we are the invincible imperial elite."
After speaking, he turned around and gave an order to the Japanese behind him: "Enter the green gauze tents on both wings and establish peripheral positions along the highway to guard the baggage trains."
He saw the imperial warriors attacking from both sides approaching him along the edge of the green gauze tent.
The second lieutenant immediately led the team to continue the assault northward.
After receiving the news that the vanguard troops had successfully broken through the eighth line of defense, the result was completely as expected by Xiong Ertian.
Immediately wave the convoy to get on the road!
The car engine roared, the headlights were turned on, and the clutch was released, and the leading car body suddenly jumped forward.
Once the car starts moving, although there are sharpshooters in the Eighth Route Army, it is almost impossible to hit the headlights of a moving car.
Even if one or two are hit, there are so many cars in a row that there is no need to worry about lighting problems.
The Japanese military doctor sat in the cargo compartment, and the car squeaked and swayed forward.
boom.
A grenade was fired next to the car.
The car body shook violently, and the military doctor who was sitting on the wooden plank of the cargo compartment was knocked into the cargo compartment.
When he got up from the ground in embarrassment, he quickly touched the side and found that the poison gas ammunition box was intact.
Then he raised his hand and touched the head that was hit. It seemed a little slippery.
Judging by my feeling, I may have suffered a bloody head injury!
Quickly pull the bandage and wrap it around your head.
