The Japanese continued to shell the gun towers.
Finally, half of the artillery tower guarded by the Eighth Route Army was blown down.
According to the procedure, when the bombardment ended, the infantry squatting on the edge of the green gauze tent immediately spread out and launched an attack.
They quickly captured the outer defense line that originally belonged to Xiong Erling's department.
The Japanese who jumped into the trench suddenly realized that even if they weighed their feet and raised their guns, they could not see the target outside the trench.
Unexpectedly, this group of shameless Eighth Route Army soldiers actually used dirty tricks again to deepen the trench and turn it directly into a trench!
Obviously, Tubalu was making a fuss about the imperial army's short stature this time.
Directly interrupting the great charge tactics of the Imperial Army.
It's like trying to pull a baby halfway but being blocked by someone. You can't get in or out.
The lieutenant who organized the attack had his nose twisted with anger.
The golden charge time after the firepower has been covered has passed. At this time, if you take a ladder out of the trench, you are likely to get shot in the dark!
Frustrated, the lieutenant immediately resorted to his trump card: a two-wing outflank along the trench!
Previously, the leading troops of Xiong Erling's strategic retreat had broken into the eighth peripheral defense line and occupied the western section of the trenches in advance. At this time, they were just covering the imperial army attacking from the left.
Li Xiang's company quickly retreated south into Qingshazhang after the bombardment started. He did not expect that the main battalion commander could really go through trouble and personally lead a company of soldiers to stay in the inner trench on the south side of the gun tower to fire black guns.
It’s good to have trenches!
The Japanese continued shelling, causing minimal casualties to the soldiers.
In the opinion of the battalion commander, the self-defense battalion seemed to know the Japanese very well. They fought for at least fourteen hours from day to early morning, and they were able to fool the Japanese around.
As long as the Japs have the courage to charge forward, he is sure to beat the Japs to a one-to-one battle loss ratio.
Yes, even if it occupies a good location, there are too many Japanese grenade launchers.
If you can fight the Japanese with a one to one loss, you will definitely be rewarded and praised when you go back.
The Japs claim to be two brigades, but in fact, apart from the Japs who want to defend the convoy, there are probably less than a thousand people who can actually fight.
But he felt a little unhappy. Generally speaking, the Eighth Route Army had combat missions, and the commander should grab a hard nut to chew on.
Captain Li of the guard battalion didn't seem to have a high level of consciousness. He just casually told them to leave first and provided cover. The soldier who gathered his men turned around and ran away without saying a word.
After thinking about it, it seems understandable that the autonomous army guard camp is not the Eighth Route Army and does not have iron discipline.
If it weren't for the fighting ability displayed by Battalion Commander Hu's men, he would never have done such a stupid thing like confronting the Japanese.
The self-defense battalion seemed to know the Japanese very well. They fought for at least fourteen hours from day to early morning, and they were able to fool the Japanese around.
There were too many Japanese, and I couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Watching before my eyes, I saw a large number of Eighth Route Army troops abandoning their gun tower positions and heading south directly into the green gauze tent to escape again.
The imperial army was actually blocked in the outer trenches and remained motionless.
The two brigades of imperial troops were fooled around by Tubalu.
What a shame!
The two captains stood at the edge of the green gauze tent. After pointing and muttering for a while, they concluded that there were not many people in the Eighth Route Army based on reports from the front.
But the fighting ability is very strong.
I have to admit that the commander of the Eighth Route Army has superb command skills.
He is not good at eight-way fighting, but he has to admire his ability to run away in mobile combat.
The imperial army is porcelain, and there is no need to pursue the south again into the Qingsha tent and fight head-on with Tubal Road to cause casualties.
Therefore, after exchanging opinions, the two captains felt that there was no need to pursue him any further.
It's about three hours before dawn. Send out a small group of troops as long as they can get on those Tubal roads.
After figuring out the movements and whereabouts of those Eighth Route Army soldiers, wait until dawn to bombard them with infantry and artillery fire, and then request aviation for support, and finally decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
Dashi Xiong Erlang felt some regret for not requesting the aviation force for tactical guidance from the division headquarters earlier.
Besides, as long as most of the people on the plains are killed, the rest will be driven into concentration camps.
From now on, these Eight Routes will completely lose the foundation for their survival.
The reinforcement captain admitted in his heart that he had indeed underestimated Tubalu.
But he felt a little unwilling to give up the pursuit.
To the west of the turret, in a long and narrow open field.
Xiao Hongying led the team and served as the vanguard in the west.
Jiang Bai fired a wave of grenade grenades, but failed to attract the Japanese's thin firepower platoon and arranged them behind to hold down the formation.
The team has already joined Li Xiang in the south.
In order to prevent Japanese shelling, the soldiers spread out on the edge of the green gauze tent.
The soldiers took out their engineering shovels and deepened the individual soldier pits previously dug by the soldiers of the main battalion. The impact plain was filled with sand. Soon, with a subtle sound like a rat digging a hole, the individual soldier pits began to form a crooked trench.
The ninth battalion team was arranged in a fan-shaped area, with two heavy machine guns on both sides and more than ten light machine guns in the middle, turning the fan-shaped area west of the turret directly into a death zone.
Prepared for all this, the soldiers disappeared silently into the darkness of the trench.
sleep!
The Japanese did not pursue or even harass. After taking down the turret, they stopped in the open and did not move.
Xiao Hongying was quite puzzled, is this still the Japanese who claims to be invincible in the world?
Don’t you even have the courage to pursue?
If you don't chase that one, I'll beat you a few times.
No matter how many there were, the freshly trained sharpshooter squad began to circle eastward along the green gauze tent on the north side, preparing to give some eye drops to the Japanese who were temporarily parked at the edge of the green gauze tent.
After a while, the assault squad met the Japanese security squad in the green gauze tent on the north side.
The two sides opened fire without saying a word.
Grenades, grenades just thrown around.
Taking advantage of the abundance of bullets, the Japs lay in the individual pits and kept shooting, pulling the bolts to unload the bullets, then pushing the bullets back into the chamber and firing.
The Japs in the security squad knew that the Eighth Route Army they encountered this time was unusual. They had not dug trenches for several years, but this time they actually dug foxholes.
Knowing that the Eighth Route Army was hidden in the east, the Japanese police team that expanded the warning range eastward suffered heavy losses.
All eight are mice. They hide in mouse holes during the day and do not go out. At night they go out to the fields and are more active than anyone else.
Shooting when you can't even see the target is a waste of effort, but it won't work if you don't bother.
Tubalu likes to play this kind of virtual reality game the most. If the imperial army's shooting is weak, Tubalu can fight harder than anyone else, although who knows whether he can hit the target.
Under the guidance of a Japanese soldier, the Japanese lieutenant went directly west to the end of the trench.
The Japanese leader quickly wrote to the lieutenant: "Report, the Eighth Route Army is in the trench ahead. We threw more than a dozen grenades, but the Eighth Route Army was still not killed."
The lieutenant raised his head and looked at the dark trench. There was a turn in front, and his sight was not far away, so he could not judge the specific direction of the trench. Throwing a grenade did not work and there was nothing he could do.
He looked up and saw the raging fire burning on the roof of the turret, which was missing half of its roof.
The warriors of the Imperial Army in the south were still shooting sporadically at the Eighth Route Army.
"Advance along the trenches!" the lieutenant ordered unambiguously.
Xiong Erling's troops, who were guarding the edge, were helpless and immediately sent a machine gun team out of the trench, and placed a crooked machine gun team on the left and right sides of the trench for cover.
The opponent had a high military rank, and the second lieutenant was not allowed to obey orders even though he knew there were mines in the trenches.
After a while, one or two of his men were killed or injured after being struck by mines, and then he would report the situation to the lieutenant.
Perhaps the Eighth Route Army did not expect that the imperial army would attack the trench from the northwest, so this section of the trench was not deepened.
A squad of Japanese soldiers lined up in a candied haws formation, crouching down and using trenches to hide in the south to attack and advance. This should be called a search advance.
At the southern end of the trench, squatting were two soldiers from the main battalion.
The two dug out the artillery holes according to Li Xiang's instructions. Although they did not guard against the enemy's large and small artillery, they did throw more than a dozen grenades at the enemy who were attacking in the trench. Other than being disgraced, the two of them were fine.
There was a noise in the darkness to the north, and it was immediately clear that it was the Japanese attacking south along the trench again.
Fortunately, Battalion Commander Li reminded him, and the battalion commander ambushed the sharpshooter in the trench.
No matter who it is, as long as they stand up after leaving the trench, they will immediately become a target.
The speed of crawling on the ground is too slow. It may be safer at a farther distance. As long as you get close to the opponent, you will also be a target!
The soldier suddenly felt something was wrong and pulled the trigger in the semi-dark trench to the north.
boom.
Based on my feeling, the bullet must have hit the chest of the Japanese who was walking at the front.
He stretched out half of his eyes and noticed that the Japs body seemed to be swaying, but with the support of the Japs behind him, he actually continued to move forward.
Did this devil have some invulnerability skills?
