On the opposite side of the Japanese army, Ikegami Miura saw the Eighth Route Army dividing his troops to outflank the flanks, and a deep despair rose from the bottom of his heart.
He pulled over a Japanese second lieutenant beside him and ordered: "Sakaguchi-kun! Go back to the city and let He Sang lead the remaining people to the south of the city!"
Junzaburo Sakaguchi shook his head, with a determined look on his face: "Sir, I will stay with the wounded soldiers, you take them away!"
Ikegami Miura pulled Sakaguchi's collar and cursed: "Idiot! Now is not the time to strive to be a hero. There was a field battle outside the city just now. If the battle situation is not favorable, I can order a retreat, but if I voluntarily abandon the city at this time, I will have to commit seppuku! Do you understand? Now I order you to return to the city immediately, destroy all documents, and transfer in with He Sang and the others! Then, bring the information about this Eighth Route Army unit to the brigade commander!"
"Hi!"
"Hurry! I'm here to contain the enemy!"
"Hi!"
When Junzaburo Sakaguchi jumped out of the ditch and ran quickly to the city, Miura Ikegami ordered all machine guns and grenade launchers not to save ammunition and to fight hard.
He wanted to slow down the advance of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side as much as possible.
But as the distance between the two sides became closer, the Eighth Route Army's firepower advantage also came into play, completely suppressing the Japanese light machine guns.
Originally, the performance of the crooked weapon was poor. The Japanese veteran shooters relied on their experience and were able to bully the Eighth Route Army at long distances. However, once the distance reached within two hundred meters, the hit rate of the Eighth Route Army's machine gunners also increased.
Originally there were several heavy machine guns firing with mortars on the top of the city, but now they had stopped shooting. The Japanese soldiers on the top of the city followed Junzaburo Sakaguchi back to the headquarters.
Soon, the Eighth Route Army had reached a position of about a hundred meters.
Ikegami Miura threw away the Fourteen Southern Styles in his hand, pulled out the command sword from his waist, and stood up.
Seeing this, the other Japanese soldiers also stood up from the ditch.
"Bullet unloaded!"
Instead of lying in the ditch waiting to die, it is better to rush forward and fight the Eighth Route Army with bayonets and use bushido to break the opponent's will.
Ikegami was right. After all, this move had a high success rate in mainland China, and many troops were defeated by them with bayonets.
On the Eighth Route Army side, Liu Yu was lying under a field ridge to avoid bullets, but suddenly he noticed that the gunshots on the other side were no longer firing, so he raised his head and looked up.
"Should I wipe it?!"
Liu Yu said that he believed in your evil deeds, but he was not afraid. He also stood up and roared: "Everyone, bayonets!"
After a while, the two sides looked at each other from a distance of a hundred meters, both sides filled with murderous intent.
Liu Yu was originally full of blood and wanted to risk his life with the Japanese, but suddenly his eyes rolled again and bad water came out.
He seemed to have two subconscious minds in his body, switching at this critical moment.
"Give me the machine gun!" Liu Yu said, taking the Czech gun from the machine gunner next to him and whispering a few words to him at the same time.
"Ah?" The machine gunner was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he laughed sinisterly and gave Liu Yu a thumbs up.
After the machine gunner left, Liu Yu took off the Czech-style magazine in his hand, looked at it, found that there were enough bullets, and then put it back.
Pulling the bolt of the gun, Liu Yu looked up and looked across, and happened to catch Miura Ikegami's gaze.
"Come on!"
"Tuz give it!"
The commanders on both sides shouted the order to charge almost simultaneously.
For a moment, roars spread throughout the surrounding fields and mountains, and the two troops faced each other with rifles with bayonets in hand.
If 50 little Japs were to fight a company of Eighth Route Army soldiers with bayonets, even if the Eighth Route Army were all veterans, they would only end up with a miserable victory.
But Liu Yu is different, he is an old man...
When the distance between the two sides was about 20 meters, Liu Yu could clearly see the old man's beard in Chishang. He raised the machine gun and pointed it at Chishang and pulled the trigger to the end.
"Da da da......"
"Da da da......"
As soon as Liu Yu fired, the remaining eight machine guns in the series also fired at the same time, and they all held the trigger and didn't let go.
. . . . . .
An hour later, Xiyang City was the original Japanese headquarters.
In the office, there is a pot on the ground with some ashes in it.
It would be good if Xiyang City was conquered. As for the information, radio stations, maps, etc., Liu Yu didn't take it too seriously.
While he was looking at the environment of the office, Xu Liqing walked in at the door holding a list.
"Commander, the statistics are out."
Xu Liqing handed the list to Liu Yu, and then poured himself a glass of water.
"Thank you for your hard work, sit down and take a rest." Liu Yu greeted with a smile, and then looked at the list in his hand.
In this battle, 181 Japanese were killed and 8 captured, all of whom were seriously injured. Liu Yu didn't want to take a closer look at the seizure and the like. He didn't like this piece of equipment now.
"11 people were killed, 3 were seriously injured, and 17 were slightly injured..."
Reading the casualty data softly, Liu Yu's heart twitched again.
Xu Liqing finished drinking the water and saw that Liu Yu felt uncomfortable, so he comforted him: "In a war, there are no undead people. This is not bad. In the past, when we annihilated a squadron, at least a full regiment had to surround and fight for a long time." As for the casualties, even two or three hundred people cannot be defeated, and they may not be able to annihilate them all. This time, we have a great victory!"
Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "These are all veterans, and they are all treasures!"
Xu Liqing put down the water glass and said with emotion: "There is no way, the kid's hand cannon hit accurately and hard. It's because you were smart and didn't blindly fight with the kid when charging, otherwise our losses will be even greater!"
Liu Yu smiled: "That's right. In the past, when we fought with bayonets, we had to fight because we ran out of bullets. Now that the ammunition tubes are enough, fools will fight with them on bayonets. That old devil still wants to show off to me, so I just give it a try. He made a honeycomb!"
"Hahaha..." Xu Liqing was also amused, "You, people below are talking now, saying that you are not a son of a man and let the machine guns shoot you while fighting with bayonets."
"I don't care if they fart. If they keep making noises, I'll drag them all out for a 30-kilometer cross-country trip with heavy loads!" After saying that, Liu Yu asked again, "By the way, how are Lao Wang and the others doing over there?"
"We just entered the city and there were a lot of casualties on their side..."
Before Xu Liqing finished speaking, he saw Wang Zhitao walking in with a dark face. As soon as he reached the table, he took off his hat and threw it on the table. Then he sat down, his chest rising and falling, obviously angry. It's not easy.
Liu Yu was a little puzzled: "Old Wang, where did you go from here?"
"It's not because of those cowardly soldiers. There are more than 800 people, and a squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed into the position!"
Wang Zhitao spat everywhere: "If the political commissar and his people hadn't arrived in time and scared the little devil away, my life would have been put there!"
Liu Yu and Xu Liqing looked at each other and asked at the same time: "What's going on?"
Wang Zhitao took a deep breath and calmed down before slowly telling the story.
He led more than 800 people to ambush the Japanese transport team. These people were all former local armed and security groups, and their combat quality was incomparable to Liu Yu's reinforced battalion.
Sure enough, something went wrong as soon as they encountered the Japs. Before the Japs convoy entered the ambush circle, a soldier went off because of nervousness.
This time, we found an ambush, and a squadron of Japs calmly launched. After half an hour of exchange of fire between the two sides, the Japs commander also saw that the troops on the opposite side were a group of "Tuba Road", so he directly feigned a frontal attack, followed by a flanking surprise attack. , and attacked Wang Zhitao's position with one charge.
Fortunately, Wang Zhitao sent a message to Song Renqiong at the beginning of the battle, asking him to lead reinforcements. Song Renqiong also led people to block the flanks of the position in time and repelled the Japanese attack.
That guy cheered and more than 2,000 people poked there. The Japanese were also confused. After being confused, they got on the truck and ran away.
Liu Yu won, but Wang Zhitao lost.
This was the first time he led troops in actual combat since returning to China, and this was the result.
After listening to his complaints, Liu Yu asked: "What are the casualties?"
"33 people were injured and 62 people were killed!" He glanced at Liu Yu and added, "I killed three of them. They wanted to be deserters as soon as the Japanese rushed in front of them. I was already angry at that time. , when you get angry..."
"It's not mentioned here. If you run away from the battle, you will be killed!" Liu Yu raised his hand to interrupt his explanation, and then sighed, "It seems that the training of the army must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. In addition, those who are not strong-willed, cheat and rape If you are slipping, just kick him. No matter how good the weapon is for a soldier like this, it will be useless."
As he said that, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of the White Elephant in the original time and space of the 1960s and 1970s. Is the equipment strong? Is the momentum impressive? Relying on the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, there is no need to beat Baba Sheep!
As a result, a border invasion war against rabbits turned into a battle to defend the capital. During this period, three rabbits chased and beat up a battalion of white elephants, providing an enduring joke for later generations of netizens.
Just as I was about to tease Lao Wang with this joke and make him happy, suddenly a system voice came from my mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the small-scale battle. The reward points are 50 points."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for liberating an eighteenth-tier city. 1,000 bonus points."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for killing one Japanese captain, two lieutenants, and second lieutenants..."
Liu Yu didn't look at the subsequent kill reward, but stared at the second one. After the system introduction was finished, he asked in confusion: "System, why was there no reward for the last time I dug a well?"
"Ding, the criteria for liberating a certain place are: the host's troops completely occupy the area for more than one hour, and there are no enemy troops within a radius of twenty miles."
"Oh okay."
"Ding, the host currently has 2269 points, which meets the upgrade requirements. Do you want to upgrade?"
"yes!"
"Ding, the upgrade was successful, 1,000 points were deducted, and the remaining points are currently 1,269. Current system level: Level 3, and some weapons, equipment, and applied technologies have been unlocked."
