Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3080 All-Out Blockade!

"Long Live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Long live!"

···········
The Japanese soldiers charged forward recklessly and actually broke through the artillery barrage.

They shouted excitedly, for victory was within reach.

But just then, Long Qianyan sneered disdainfully and ordered, "Machine gunners, open fire! Don't let a single Japanese soldier get close!"

"Yes!"

Da da da!
Chu Chu Chu!
Upon receiving the order, the machine gunner immediately pulled the trigger, and volleys of bullets rained down on the Japanese soldiers.

The bullets struck the Japanese soldiers' helmets with a clanging sound; when they hit their bodies, they pierced through them instantly, leaving trails of blood.

The Japanese soldiers were beaten so badly they couldn't lift their heads. They could only lie on the ground and fire wildly with their Type 38 rifles in an attempt to retaliate.

However, with this kind of random shooting, unless the person is extremely unlucky and even drinking cold water will cause them to choke, the bullets will be flying into the sky, so how could they possibly hit a person?

A Japanese officer brandished his sword, still shouting at the top of his lungs, "Charge! Charge! Don't back down!"

But under heavy artillery fire and machine gun fire, their orders were a joke.

At this moment, the Japanese officer in the distance saw this scene and his heart bled. This was not fighting or attacking; it was clearly suicide.

A Japanese regimental commander hurriedly shouted to the communications soldier beside him, "Quickly, send a telegram to Prince Kitashirakawa Minami, saying that we have been subjected to a fierce artillery attack by anti-Japanese elements, and ask him to request air support! Be quick!"

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a shell exploded not far from him, the enormous impact sending him flying.

His body traced a tragic arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood and dying instantly.

The Japanese soldiers around them were even more terrified when they saw this.

One of the Japanese officers shouted, "Quickly, quickly, bring our cannons over too!"

But at this moment, another Japanese officer poured cold water on the idea, saying, "What good will it do to bring it over? Our artillery wasn't even set up before it was blown up by the enemy."

"Bagaya road!"

A Japanese officer roared angrily, but it was no use at all.

Because the Anti-Japanese Allied Army's firepower was simply too fierce, their weapon advantage was completely negated.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were completely baffled as to why their elite First Division couldn't even defeat a bunch of peasants.

No! It's as if they are the peasants in front of the other side right now.

Because we couldn't win, we really couldn't win. The Chinese army was too powerful; bullets were like free, hundreds of times stronger than the firepower of the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Attack! Attack!"

The Japanese officer was still roaring, as if they had survived the artillery bombardment and machine gun fire and were about to see the dawn of victory.

However, at that moment, when the Anti-Japanese Allied Army soldiers opened fire on them with submachine guns, they realized how foolish their idea had been.

What does it mean to have bullets raining down like a storm? They've never fought a war with such abundance of resources before.

Tap tap tap! ...

The sound of submachine gun fire echoed throughout the valley. The charging Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, riddled with bullets.

Soon, the entrance to the valley on the east side was piled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and blood gathered into streams that flowed down the terrain of the valley.

Meanwhile, in the valley, Kitashirakawa Minami was anxiously awaiting news from the troops on the eastern side.

When he heard that the troops on the east side had suffered heavy casualties from a fierce artillery attack and were unable to capture the high ground on both sides of Luoxia Valley as planned, he was furious.

He roared, "Baka yarou! How many weapons and ammunition do these anti-Japanese elements have?! Am I, a prince, to be trapped here and die?"

Seeing the furious Kitashirakawa Minami, the chief of staff quickly advised, "Your Highness, there is still no news of the Fengtian Air Force's fighter jets. We can only hold our ground and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Kitashirakawa Minami took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He gritted his teeth and said, "Pass on my order: have all soldiers build defensive fortifications on the spot, cut off the fire source, and hold out for reinforcements! I refuse to believe that these anti-Japanese elements have enough ammunition to squander like this!"

However, what he didn't know was that for this battle, Duanwu had prepared 500,000 rounds of various munitions, more than 200 mortars and grenade launchers, and more than 300 shells of various kinds.

So if Kitashirakawa Minami wanted to fight him in a gunfight, he was practically courting death.

The gunfire gradually subsided, and both sides began to regroup.

The Japanese troops were divided into three groups within Luoxia Valley. One group consisted of troops stationed south of Kitashirakawa in the central area. The other two groups were the Japanese troops stationed on the left and right sides of Luoxia Valley. The total number of troops did not exceed two thousand.

The rest of the Japanese soldiers were either killed by landmines, burned to death, or shot or killed by grenades during their charge.

Meanwhile, the Japanese troops outside the eastern entrance of Luoxia Valley numbered less than two thousand.

On the contrary, the anti-Japanese brigade also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 300 people killed or wounded.

But compared to the losses suffered by the Japanese, this was definitely a great victory.

Looking at the wounded soldiers, Duanwu couldn't help but feel sad.

But this was war, and although he tried his best to reduce casualties, it was impossible to avoid them altogether.

This is the inevitability of war; there is no war without death. Either the enemy dies, or you die yourself.

Buzz, buzz!
However, just then, as the sun was about to set, the sound of an airplane engine came from the southeast.

Upon hearing this voice, Duanwu frowned slightly, because due to the forced march, he had brought almost no heavy weapons.

But then the Japanese planes arrived. What should we do?
But at this moment, the Japanese side felt a sense of joy that brought them to tears.

Kitashirakawa Minami said smugly, "Warriors of the Empire, our planes have arrived. Once the air raid is over, all of you charge forward with full force. As long as we capture a high ground, we will not only be able to break through the encirclement, but we will also have the opportunity to annihilate the entire anti-Japanese brigade!"

"Hi!"

All the Japanese soldiers accepted the order and awaited the bombing.

Moments later, fighter jets roared through the sky, their engines deafening. Soon, they arrived over Sunset Valley.

The Japanese pilots, upon spotting the Anti-Japanese Allied Army soldiers near the valley, grinned menacingly. They began to descend, preparing to bomb the area.

Bombs were dropped from the fighter jets, falling with a sharp whistling sound as they landed on the positions of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Upon seeing Japanese warplanes appear in the sky, Duanwu's heart tightened, and he quickly shouted, "Everyone, take cover! Japanese bombers are coming! Anti-aircraft machine guns, prepare to disrupt their bombing!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers obeyed orders; some dispersed to avoid the Japanese bombing, while others retreated to the forests below the mountain. Meanwhile, anti-aircraft machine gunners scattered throughout the area unleashed fierce fire on the Japanese bombers overhead!
