Chapter 187 Annihilation of the Japanese Battalion 1
Chapter 187 Annihilation of the Japanese Battalion 1
At this moment, Bai Luo lay prone in the shell crater, cursing the Japanese soldiers for their lack of martial ethics.
What happened to the bayonet fighting? Why are they suddenly using heavy machine guns? What Bai Luo didn't know was that the Japanese captain not only used heavy machine guns, but also went to get mortars.
Since the other party didn't show any martial ethics, he couldn't be blamed. Just as Bai Luo was about to take out his AK74U rifle, which he hadn't used in a long time, under the cover of the shell crater.
Suddenly, the sound of intense submachine gun fire came from behind the Japanese soldiers.
The people who arrived at this time were none other than Zhuge Ming and his group.
At this moment, Zhuge Ming could already see the Second Regiment of the West fighting hand-to-hand on the hillside behind the village.
Although Bai Luo joined the Second Regiment of the West, the casualties were still very heavy. Less than 300 Red Army soldiers were left to fight the Japanese in a bloody battle. One by one, white knives went in and red knives came out. The battle was extremely fierce.
Zhuge Ming was heartbroken to see that the original 1100-strong Second Regiment of the West had been reduced to such a small number, and at the same time, his anger was burning fiercely.
"Damn Japanese devils, attack them! Take their positions first!"
Hearing Zhuge Ming's angry roar.
The soldiers around him held their breath and remained silent, but their submachine guns spewed even more intense flames as they quickened their pace and charged toward the Japanese position less than a hundred meters away.
Most of the men following Zhuge Ming were soldiers from the Second Regiment of the West. They saw that their troops were down to such a small number and were still fighting the Japanese with bayonets on the hillside.
The Red Party soldiers, who had initially intended to control their firepower and were somewhat reluctant to use bullets, pressed their right index fingers firmly on the triggers until the chambers were empty.
At the same time, they charged recklessly towards the Japanese positions, hoping to take them down as quickly as possible to support their comrades on the hillside.
The Japanese soldiers in the position also discovered this fiercely armed squad.
However, the enemy's firepower was too strong, and the hasty defense had little effect.
In less than two minutes, Zhuge Ming and his men stormed into the Japanese position, which was less than 2 meters away from the buildings behind the village.
At this moment, the Japanese captain and company commander could no longer care about Bai Luo on the hillside and hurriedly directed the Japanese soldiers in the trenches to resist this fiercely armed squad.
"Xiao Luo, I've arrived. Where do I go?"
With no one restraining him, Bai Luo quickly jumped out of the shell crater and charged towards the area with the most Japanese soldiers.
Just after killing two Japanese soldiers, he heard the silly girl's voice coming through his earpiece.
"First, help the squad below capture the Japanese position."
"it is good."
The silly girl had barely finished speaking.
Bai Luo then heard the Gatling gun's distinctive roar.
"Buzzing..."
Bai Luo cleaved through two Japanese soldiers who were somewhat obstructing his view.
That's when I saw what was below.
The silly girl was standing on a rooftop behind the village, holding an XM556 Gatling gun and firing wildly at the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.
Zhuge Ming also saw this scene, glanced back at the silly girl standing on the roof, and immediately took the opportunity to command his squad to advance.
Since experiencing the Yunling battlefield, Silly Girl has also learned to specialize in fighting against the Japanese heavy firepower.
In less than a minute, the heavy firepower in the Japanese position was basically taken care of by the silly girl.
But she had also used up all her bullets.
They've now switched to the Type 191 marksman rifle.
As for the Barrett, Silly Girl left it on the previous earthen slope after she finished firing.
The Japanese captain also realized that something was wrong.
After the Gatling gun ran out of bullets, he finally dared to peek out and survey the battlefield on both sides.
Finding their troops surrounded, the Imperial soldiers, who had initially held a significant advantage on the hillside, were forced to retreat one by one due to Bai Luo's meddling, giving the remaining Second Regiment of the West a brief respite.
Bai Luo also encountered some trouble. Some fearless Japanese soldiers, seeing that Bai Luo could not be held back by sheer numbers, began suicide attacks.
Holding two grenades, he lunged at Bai Luo, who was so frightened that he immediately drew his pistol and shot him dead.
Then four or five more Japanese soldiers followed suit, clutching grenades and charging toward Bai Luo.
Although they were all killed by Bai Luo, Bai Luo's bulletproof vest was hit several times by shrapnel from Japanese grenades.
His left arm, in particular, was still covered in bloodstains, clearly indicating that he was injured.
But the explosion of more than 10 grenades on the battlefield also brought the bloodshot Red Army soldiers and Japanese soldiers back to their senses.
The two sides put some distance between themselves and briefly locked eyes.
Just then, the sound of the Japanese soldiers retreating came from below.
Upon hearing the sound, the Japanese soldiers immediately ran towards the trenches.
When the soldiers on the hillside saw that the Japanese had retreated, they relaxed and immediately collapsed to the ground.
Fewer than 100 Red Party fighters were still standing.
However, Zhuge Ming below was caught in a fierce battle after the Japanese soldiers on the hillside withdrew.
They can barely hold onto the trenches they just captured.
More than a hundred soldiers around him have been injured or killed.
There are currently fewer than 80 people with combat capability.
Seeing this, Bai Luo knew that Zhuge Ming's side probably couldn't hold out for much longer, mainly because they had run out of bullets.
A significant portion of Zhuge Ming's squad had already begun picking up Japanese Type 38 rifles and starting to fight back.
The Japanese gradually gained the upper hand in terms of firepower.
Wang Qiang also noticed the situation below and could only lead less than a hundred soldiers who still had the strength to move to support the team below from the middle of the slope.
However, it was not very effective; it could only slightly restrain the Japanese firepower, preventing the Japanese from crossing the trenches to launch an attack on Zhuge Ming.
Bai Luo has now left the battlefield at Banpo.
He ran to the spot where the mortar had been placed, quickly adjusted the coordinates, and put a shell in each hand into the barrel.
"Bang bang."
Two shells flew swiftly for less than 500 meters and landed accurately in the trench where the Japanese soldiers were located.
The Japanese captain was stunned by the two shells.
How did our own shells end up in our own camp?
"Bageya Road."
"What's going on with the artillery? How could they miss at such close range?"
The Japanese sergeant standing nearby, hearing his captain cursing, quickly spoke up.
"Sir, it wasn't our artillery that fired it; the shells came from halfway up the slope."
"Nani?"
The next moment, as if to prove the Japanese sergeant's words, shells rained down on the Japanese position at a rate of two per second.
Although the casualties were not high, it severely hampered the Japanese advance to retake the trenches.
The Japanese soldiers could only cower in the trenches, hiding from the artillery fire.
"Where's the artillery squad? Return fire immediately and take out their mortars."
The Japanese company commander, who had been blown up and was hiding in the trench, cursed angrily.
"Hi."
Upon hearing the order, the Japanese sergeant immediately ran towards the artillery squad behind him.
