There are still twenty-eight minutes left before detonation.
After explaining a few words to the ordering soldier, Shi Zhijian called the regiment headquarters directly, because he had to ask for instructions on the subsequent battle plan, and he also had to report Yamamoto's gift.
The call with Ding Wei ended quickly.
After returning to the position, Shi Zhijian quickly rearranged the bomb positions, immediately ordered the second and third companies to withdraw to the second defense, and then re-arranged a row of sparsely arranged lines on the first defense, but he left all the light machine guns behind.
There are still twenty-one minutes until the detonation time.
"Dong Jinbao!"
"have!"
"Can the detonation of the gas bomb be delayed?"
"If you have enough time, yes, I've never seen that kind of detonating device!"
Shi Zhijian looked at the time again, "Try it, delay it for an hour! If it doesn't work, retreat immediately."
"yes!"
The second and third companies had quietly withdrawn from the first defense and began to move to the second defense.
There are still fifteen minutes left before the detonation time.
Shi Zhijian picked up the telescope and glanced at the position opposite, "First company, pay attention! The Japanese are about to fire."
The soldiers of the first company began to check their guns and ammunition, and found bunkers one after another, because they all knew that the shelling was coming.
There are still fourteen minutes left before the detonation time.
"Whoosh~~"
"Whoosh~~"
With the roar of mortars, Kurosawa's third round of attack officially kicked off.
This time is not a test, but a real attack!
The artillery fire was also much more intense than the first two rounds. Due to their range, the 92nd artillery and mortars were very restrained against the light machine guns, so Shi Zhijian did not let the machine guns fire first to expose the position, but just let the rifle fire one round first.
However, as soon as they received the fire, the soldiers of the first company suffered a slight loss, and several soldiers fell down after being shot.
"The little devil's marksmanship is better than that of the puppet army."
The next specific command is the squad platoon leader.
The little devil's advancement speed is not very fast, but it is very stable.
With twelve minutes left before the detonation time, Shi Zhijian ordered the machine gun to fire at full speed.
"Hit me hard. Don't be afraid of wasting bullets. Although you only have one company, you must give me the momentum of a battalion."
The soldiers were also obedient, and ten light machine guns opened fire with all their strength, showing no mercy at all.
Crazy firepower poured out, knocking down the first batch of enemies that rushed up.
After a round of machine gun fire was poured out, the squad platoon leader immediately ordered the machine gun to be moved, because the 92nd artillery gun on the opposite side was not for nothing. Although its explosive power was not great, it was more than enough to fire a light machine gun.
Sure enough, as soon as the transfer was completed, a few rounds of 92 artillery fire came over.
After several explosions, Kurosawa put away his telescope. "The commanders on the opposite side are experienced and their soldiers are well-trained. They are worthy of being the main force that defeated the Sakata Regiment."
He raised his hand and looked at the time, "The time agreed with Yamamoto Daizu is coming soon. I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder if his plan will succeed?"
As soon as the bombardment ended, the Japs moved forward a little, and then machine gun fire poured out again, and for a while the Japs were suppressed in front of the position.
There were still five minutes before the detonation time. Shi Zhijian lowered his head and ran to Dong Jinbao: "How is it?"
Dong Jinbao didn't speak, still paying full attention, but the sweat on his forehead showed that he was very focused and didn't even have the energy to distract himself from talking.
Shi Zhijian also understood, so he didn't bother him any more, "In two minutes, we will retreat no matter what."
There were still three minutes left before the detonation time. Dong Jinbao finally took a long breath and said, "Report to the battalion commander that the mission has been successfully completed. The detonation time has been delayed by one hour."
"Okay! Come with me!" After saying that, Shi Zhijian took Dong Jinbao and hid the gas bomb. This was a gift from the devils, and he didn't want to be discovered by the devils.
With two minutes left before the detonation time, Shi Zhijian ordered, "Wet towels, get them all ready for me!"
The soldiers of the second battalion took out the water bottles and towels they had prepared, and then wet the towels, but did not wrap them around their faces.
With one minute left before the detonation time, Shi Zhijian ordered, "Attention, prepare for the explosion!"
Hearing the sound of the cannon, Xu San immediately geared up and pretended to rush forward to do it.
But as soon as he stood up, Yoshino pushed him down: "Baga! It's not the time to attack yet!"
"Then when is the time?"
Yoshino said nothing, but looked at his watch from time to time.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
On the Eighth Route Army's position, several balls of fire suddenly burst out, and then there seemed to be smoke in the trenches. It looked like poison gas bombs.
Xu San stood up again, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and made a charging gesture!
"Go ahead!" Yoshino said with a sneer.
"Isn't it too late that you haven't said anything about rushing? If I rush out at this time, wouldn't it take away Taijun's prestige?"
Yoshino picked up the binoculars and watched the Eighth Route Army cover their mouths and noses with their hands and begin to collapse. He couldn't help but feel happy: "Hey, retreat!"
"Yoshino Tai-kun, aren't you going to beat up the drowned dog?"
"Superficial! Our mission is to create opportunities for Kurosawa Ozuo, charging into battle is not what we should do!" After saying this, Yoshino quickly retreated with a low body.
Yoshino's speed was very fast, and he had no intention of waiting for Xu San.
Depend on!
Xu Xusan cursed secretly, this is just trying to kill the donkey.
Squadron Leader Akira Ozawa has now occupied the second battalion's position, but he is very dissatisfied with the results.
37 people were killed, 23 were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured. The casualties exceeded one-fifth of the squadron's establishment. For him, this kind of casualties was already considered a crippling injury.
Not only that, when the troops counted the seizures, they only seized a few worn-out old sleeves and those made in Hanyang.
Although he looked down upon this small amount of capture, capturing more would still be regarded as military merit.
But...where are those machine guns?
He clearly remembered that there were at least ten machine guns that beat his squadron to a halt. If there hadn't been a sudden explosion on the position later, he really doubted that he would be able to return from this attack.
No matter what, the position was finally taken down, and it was worth it even if the casualties were incurred.
The current task is to fix official affairs and wait for orders from the captain of the Blackpool United.
The Eighth Route Army is notoriously cunning, and might be able to kill someone in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Ozawa immediately ordered his men to clear the trenches and repair the fortifications.
In the distance, the Blackpool Wing headquarters.
Kurosawa had just put down the telescope, and a staff officer was analyzing the battle situation: "Ozawa-kun is more than safe, but not aggressive enough. If he could have taken advantage of the victory just now, he might have defeated the second defense."
"It's better to be safe in this situation, because there will be a sudden explosion on the first defense position, and the Eighth Route Army will retreat. According to my observation, although they withdrew to the second defense, their retreat was not considered panic, nor was it a rout. , so a rash pursuit will definitely lead to a desperate counterattack, and even if we can win, it will only be a partial victory."
Kurosawa waved his hand and signaled the staff to stop discussing. He knew what was going on.
He raised his hand and looked at the time, "Order the Gate Squadron to prepare. In one hour, assist Ozawa Squadron in attacking the second defense. Then dispatch an engineering team to assist Ozawa in repairing official matters."
