Dragon Boat Festival leaned against the simple fortifications of the position to smoke, with Cheng Wanli and Chen Yong sitting next to them.
Cheng Wanli had been following the Dragon Boat Festival for a long time and was not worried that the Japanese army would rush up.
Chen Yong was a little uneasy. After a while, he looked at the Japanese army with a telescope and reported the progress of the Japanese army to Duanwu.
"The Japs are still a hundred meters away from us, ninety meters, eighty meters, seventy meters, sixty meters... Commissioner, let's fight? The Japs are two squadrons. If we don't fight, they will come up. ”
Chen Yong was a little anxious at this time, because before, when the Japanese were one hundred and fifty meters away from the position, he ordered to fire.
He believes that since it is defense, the Japanese cannot be allowed to approach the defensive position. Otherwise, at fifty or forty meters away, a well-trained Japanese soldier might be able to rush up in a matter of seconds.
However, the special correspondent beside him was not anxious or panicked at all.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, he threw away the cigarette in his hand, lazily climbed to the top of the trench, looked at the Japanese soldiers sprinting with all their strength, and said: "Didn't I tell you, the closer the Japanese army is to our position, the more powerful they will be against us.
Moreover, this is the perfect time to kill all the devils. Let everyone prepare and bring out all the grenades for me. I want to teach the little devil a lesson. Sometimes in a war, the more people there are, the greater the advantage.
Doesn't he look down upon the strength of my company? Then let them see how powerful my company's firepower is. "
At this point, Duanwu yelled at all the officers and soldiers: "Everyone, please throw two grenades before opening fire. This battle will be over in five minutes. Win this battle, I will Please drink wine and eat meat!"
"good!"
The soldiers of the 44th Division also went crazy at the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival and roared with the Dragon Boat Festival.
At this time, Chen Yong no longer needed to convey orders for Duanwu, and the entire 44th Division was directly taken over by Duanwu.
Chen Yong was helpless because the invincible aura of Duanwu infected all his soldiers. And the Dragon Boat Festival can capture the hearts of all warriors.
What do soldiers lack most nowadays?
It's lunch!
Because of the sudden approach of the Japanese army, they haven't had lunch yet. Many people's stomachs were growling with hunger.
So at this time, even if the Dragon Boat Festival gives them the ocean, it won't taste good. They only hoped to defeat the Japanese army and have a delicious meal.
But Dragon Boat Festival told them at this time that after repelling the Japanese, they not only had food to eat, but also wine to drink. How could they not go crazy with Dragon Boat Festival?
When the Japanese charged to a position about thirty meters away from the position, grenades like hailstones flew out of the position.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army is not fighting the Japanese. It has limited ammunition and limited grenades. Although the 44th Division is not as rich as its direct descendants, it will still be supplemented with weapons and ammunition. A person carries at least six grenades and about thirty bullets on his body.
What's more, when the village brigade was annihilated previously, the 44th Division captured a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
So this wave of grenades flew down, like a rain of grenades.
The little devil's eyes widened, his anus tightened, and his first thought was to run.
There are so many grenades, whoever gets on them will die.
Even if the Japanese are really not afraid of death, they don't want to experience the death of being torn apart by grenades.
Some of the Japanese turned around and ran away, some tried their luck and lay on the ground to avoid, while others carried forward the spirit of Bushido and sprinted forward with all their strength.
But at this moment, there was a loud bang from a distance of twenty to fifty meters halfway up the mountain, and all the grenades turned into a terrifying sea of fire.
Nearly three hundred grenades exploded almost at the same time. The power of the explosion was like an overwhelming force, and the whole earth was shaking continuously.
The impact of the explosion was accompanied by the flying fragments. In addition to the lucky ones who were killed by the explosion, there were also countless Japanese who were shot by shrapnel.
The dead Japs rolled down the hillside like dumplings, while the surviving Japs screamed and howled amidst the flames and smoke.
Where have the charging Japanese seen such a fierce fighting style? Didn't they agree to shoot first and then throw the grenade?
Therefore, this was also a common problem among Chinese soldiers at that time. When the Japs charge, they often compete with the Japs in the areas where they are least good at.
At a distance of 200 to 100 meters, you can compete with the Japanese in marksmanship, or you can rush out of the position and compete with the Japanese in bravery, or you can rush out of the position and compete with the Japanese in a stabbing attack that you are not good at.
Therefore, it is not without reason that Chinese soldiers suffered huge casualties during the war against Japan.
But the fighting style of Dragon Boat Festival is different. The Dragon Boat Festival war was always carried out regardless of the consequences and did not give the enemy any chance to breathe. If you don't take action, you will definitely take the enemy's life if you do.
In the eyes of Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese are just a piece of meat and a piece of cake. He can cut as much as he wants and kill as much as he wants. And never without regard to the consequences.
For example, in the battle of Xiejiaqiao, he did not hesitate to shoot out all the artillery shells on his side in order to break through the Japanese defense line of the Japanese artillery position.
Dragon Boat Festival never thought that once they were blocked midway, the entire independent regiment and the 79th Brigade would be put in a desperate situation.
What kind of courage is this, just like the fierceness of King Chu's last battle back then. If they rush to the enemy's artillery position and seize the enemy's heavy weapons, then they will win this battle, otherwise everyone will die in Xiejiaqiao.
But Dragon Boat Festival never thought about losing, and brought out a crazy team.
Therefore, the little devil cannot adapt to fighting with people like Duanwu. This is a reckless commander. In every battle he conducted, his primary goal was to annihilate a large number of enemy troops.
He has no big strategy. He only has one strategy, which is to constantly kill and cause trouble for the enemy.
Therefore, although the little devil hated a crazy commander like Duanwu, he could do nothing.
As a result, in a series of explosions, the momentum of the Japanese's desperate charge was suddenly suppressed. And in the smoke and flames, bullets like a rainstorm gradually devoured the lives of the Japanese one by one.
The four Japanese troops who were charging at the front were beaten so hard that they rolled down the hillside like dumplings.
The troops behind were affected, and even if many Japanese soldiers wanted to rush forward, they simply couldn't. Because there were corpses of Japanese soldiers rolling down from the top of the mountain, posing an obstacle to them.
The two squadrons of the Japanese lost nearly half of their men. Relying on the corpses of their own men, they exchanged fire with the Chinese position 150 meters away from the position on the top of the mountain.
But obviously, this is beyond the capabilities of the soldiers of the 44th Division. Except for machine gunners and a few veterans, it is difficult for anyone to hit the Japanese at this distance.
After more than a dozen casualties, Duanwu quickly ordered a ceasefire, allowing everyone to hide in the trenches again. No one is allowed to shoot.
The Japanese in charge of the attack were at their wits' end at this moment.
In the battle just now, the two Japanese squadrons in the north and south each lost half of their strength. If the enemy who is better than the enemy charges again, he may end up like the enemy before, never to come back.
They expected artillery support. After all, their tactics are basically based on the advantage of artillery fire.
And I don’t know why, but their tried-and-tested tactics didn’t work when used against enemies on the top of the mountain.
They looked back blankly at the old MCC warehouse man three hundred meters behind them. It means requesting artillery support.
But at this time, the old devil from the MCC warehouse was already furious.
If his artillery can still function at this time, why should he wait for these charging Japanese to look back at him? He had already ordered the artillery to level the entire mountain.
But just now, in the exchange of fire with Chinese artillery, his artillery suffered heavy losses.
Although the artillery of the 44th Division was the same, Duanwu and others occupied the ground. This made the old devil, Zhongye Cang, scratch his head.
He roared angrily: "Baga, why haven't our heavy artillery troops arrived yet? Quickly generate electricity so that they can arrive here immediately. It must be fast! The speed must be fast!..."
