I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Huangping Town, at the position of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

After hearing Zhao Shihong's suggestion, Xu Wei thought about it and shook his head:
“It’s not necessary, it would be terrible if it backfired.

Let's stick to our current fighting style. Even if the Japanese can break into our trenches, I'm afraid there won't be many of them left.

By then, the light and heavy machine guns and box guns equipped by our battalion will be enough to deal with them!"

"OK then."

The military command was not in the hands of Zhao Shihong, the instructor-general, so he certainly would not argue with Xu Wei.

He nodded, then picked up his Type 38 rifle and aimed at the Japanese.

Xu Wei, on the other hand, gave an order to a correspondent beside him:
"Go and inform the artillery company commander Ma Yang that once the Japanese rush within 300 meters of our position, all their artillery will stop firing to avoid accidentally injuring our people.

At that time, all their gunners will retreat and hide, and all the ammunition operators will prepare their box guns and enter the first and second trenches to severely punish those Japanese who dare to jump into our trenches! "

——He knew very well that his own gunners were used to fire coverage and would probably not be able to shoot accurately.

It would be better to just use a box gun to deal with the Japanese.

The battalion has thousands of twenty-shot box guns. If they fire at full power, they can definitely give the Japanese a hard time!
The correspondent immediately received the order:
"Yes!"

Then he ran to the artillery position in the rear.

……

While the First Battalion of the Special Service Regiment and the First Regiment of the Japanese were fighting fiercely, Guo Youqing from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion also saw the movement on the battlefield.

He immediately urged his soldiers desperately:

"Comrades, work harder!

Don’t let the comrades in the first battalion eat up all the meat before we prepare for the bombardment!”

Hearing his urging, the soldiers who were already carrying machine guns and artillery shells quickened their pace even more.

I used up all my strength.

Soon, they arrived at the artillery position prepared in advance and began to set up the artillery quickly.

……

About ten minutes later, a quick gunner, who had already prepared for the bombardment, shouted:
"Captain, we are ready, shall we open fire?"

Guo Youqing was delighted when he heard this and quickly replied:

“Those who are ready first, fire first!
Attack the rear of the Japanese assault team!
Don’t be stingy with your shells, hit them hard!
I'm going to make sure they can't run away!"

Following his order, the gunners who had been ready immediately stepped on the firing pedal of the machine gun.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

The sound of dense artillery shells firing was deafening.

The Surotong ST-200 machine gun, with a designed firing rate of more than 5 rounds per minute, madly swept towards the Japanese charging team two or three kilometers away.

As their guns began to fire, the gunners of the other guns became increasingly anxious, fearing that they would kill all the enemies.

They all quickened their pace, quickly set up their artillery positions, and started firing.

After the "bang bang bang" sound of artillery fire, dense black spots appeared in the sky and shot towards the Japanese.

……

The Japanese assault team, led by the regiment commander Hiroshi Uchida, charged forward madly with high morale, braving intensive artillery fire and a hail of bullets.

Even if the first battalion of the special forces regiment opened fire at full strength, they were unable to stop them.

Soon, they rushed to about 300 meters in front of the position of the st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

At this time, the infantry artillery and recoilless guns of the first battalion had to stop firing because of Xu Wei's order.

At this moment, the pressure felt by the Japanese was instantly reduced by more than half.

Suddenly everyone's morale was high.

Everyone felt that victory was within reach!

The captain of the detachment, Hiroshi Uchida, also shouted excitedly:
"Warriors, the Eighth Route Army's artillery is out of shells!
Our chance to win has arrived!
Hurry up, kill them——"

Hearing his call, the Japanese soldiers immediately squeezed out every last bit of strength in their bodies and rushed forward like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.

It’s like seeing a delicious meal right in front of you. If you’re one minute late, you won’t be able to have a bite!
However, they had been running wildly for less than half a minute when suddenly, another cannon shot blasted in their ears.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Dense artillery shells suddenly flew from the south, plowing bloody trenches in their charging troops.

The broken limbs and blood covered the heads and faces of the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by the shells.

They shouted in terror:

"Baga! Artillery fire!!!"

"Mom!"

"Help--"

……

The Japanese regiment commander, Hiroshi Uchida, watched helplessly as the head of a squad leader suddenly disappeared from his sight. He then felt his face being splashed with smelly blood, and he immediately screamed:

"Bagayalu! Artillery fire! Get down—"

After hearing his order, the officers and soldiers around him finally reacted and immediately fell to the ground, trembling.

I was afraid that a fatal shell would make bloody holes in my body.

They are not that afraid of death.

But no one would want to die in such a miserable way.

Especially the way of death where the head was blown up directly is simply too scary.

Many Japanese soldiers felt that if they died like this, they would never be able to return to their hometown.

You can only be a lonely ghost and never be reborn!
……

I have to say that the quality of the Japanese soldiers is still quite strong.

The bombardment from the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion came quickly, and their reaction was also quick.

After two or three hundred people were killed or injured, they all lay on the ground.

Now, those terrible shells could only fly over their heads and fall outside the battlefield, or smash into the ground like hail, injuring some unlucky people.

It no longer has the same effect as before, where one shell could penetrate several people.

But even so, the machine guns of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion did not stop firing.

Anyway, for the special forces regiment, wasting some artillery shells is no big deal.

If ten artillery shells could be exchanged for the head of a Japanese soldier, I'm afraid Yang Yuanshan would nod and agree without hesitation.

Anyway, his shells are free!

……

The commander of the Japanese First Regiment, Hiroshi Uchida, lay on the ground and gasped for three full minutes before he came to his senses.

While he kept cursing the damn brigade commander Yoshino Hideki in his heart, he infinitely regretted not following Kitayama Yoshitaka's advice and letting the warriors crawl forward, which resulted in such tragic casualties.

But he forgot that crawling could reduce the losses of his soldiers when they were hit by direct fire from the special forces regiment.

But it will also increase the losses caused by the artillery fire of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, including infantry guns, recoilless guns and grenade launchers!

Comparing the two, it is hard to say which solution is better.

At this time, a squadron leader came over with a look of panic on his face and asked him:
"Sir, Captain, what should we do???"

Hearing this, Uchida Hiroshi felt a splitting headache. What good solution did he have to resolve the crisis?

He raised his head and looked at the distance to the position of the first battalion of the special forces regiment. It was less than 300 meters. He immediately gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Hurry up, crawl forward, keep charging!!!

If you don't take this position, my First Regiment will be annihilated here!!!"

He didn't notice at all that his team, which originally had less than 2000 people, was reduced to only a thousand people after the charge just now.

Now we no longer have any numerical advantage when we charge into the position of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment!
……

Seeing Uchida Hiroshi's harsh words, the squadron leader's blood boiled immediately.

I deeply feel that the captain is really brave and decisive, and he is simply a top hero among the warriors.

He immediately responded loudly:

"Hi!"

Then he crawled forward while shouting and conveying the other party's orders.

Hearing his roar, none of the Japanese soldiers raised any objections. They immediately crawled forward like disgusting maggots.

……

At the position of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, Xu Wei saw the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion opening fire again, and he was immediately overjoyed.

But a moment later, he saw the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, acting like turtles, causing most of the shells of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion to miss their target. He could not help but curse:

"The damned Japanese, are you a turtle? How can you hide so well?"

Then he shouted loudly:
"Grenade launcher, blast it hard!
Use up all your grenades!"

The grenade throwers on the position immediately increased their speed and continuously threw palm-sized Type 89 fragmentation grenades into the Japanese army.

The explosion made the Japanese soldiers scream in pain.

But at this time, the Japanese grenade thrower did not sit still and wait to die.

Although they didn't dare to stand up, they were able to fight back while lying on the ground.

These guys were skilled in artillery. Although it was inconvenient for them to lie on the ground, every few dozen seconds, grenades would fall into the trenches of the first battalion and explode, causing some casualties to the battalion.

In this way, the two troops fought frantically on the ridges on both sides of the Zhengtai Road, with continuous bloodshed and sacrifice!

……

About half an hour later, the Japanese soldiers, who had suffered heavy casualties and left a field of corpses, finally rushed to within twenty or thirty meters of the position of the first battalion of the special forces regiment.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion on the southern hill did not dare to continue firing for fear of accidental injuries.

Koji Uchida immediately shouted excitedly:

"Warriors, the time to make achievements has come. The grenadiers provide cover, and everyone else, charge into the Tubalu trenches!

Victory belongs to our First Regiment!

Kill to—"

Following his order, the remaining Japanese soldiers who still had grenades in their hands immediately took them out, bit off the pull rings, slammed them against their helmets, and then threw them forward as a cover.

More soldiers jumped up from the ground, took big strides, and rushed towards the trenches of the first battalion.

Then, they were dumbfounded—

The soldiers of the first battalion who were lying on the edge of the trench suddenly dropped their Type 38 rifles, which required pulling the bolt to fire a shot, and took out 20-shot box guns from their waists and fired at them.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

The dense gunfire turned the Japanese soldiers who dared to stand up and rush forward into bloody piles on the spot.

……

Seeing this, Uchida Hiroshi's eyes almost popped out.

Screaming:

"Baga! How come the Eighth Route Army has so many Mauser pistols???
Could it be the Germans who are helping them???
Asshole!
Aren't they our allies?"

He wanted to order the soldiers to retreat immediately, but he came to his senses in an instant, realizing that at this point in the battle, it was a matter of life and death, and there was no way of retreat.

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth, continue to swing his saber, and roar:

"Warriors, speed up, charge into the trenches, and use our bayonets to let the Tubalu know the bravery of our imperial locust army!
Onboard! Onboard! "

Under such roars, the Japanese soldiers dared not retreat, but could only muster up their remaining courage and continue to charge.

And

……

At the first battalion's position, the soldiers were naturally shocked when they saw how crazy the Japanese were.

The veterans were still able to keep their composure, but the new recruits were a little panicked.

After all, those little Japanese soldiers holding sharp bayonets were already very close, and it seemed that even the fishy stench from their mouths could be smelled by the soldiers.

Fortunately, at this time, there were company and platoon leaders shouting and giving orders:

"If you have run out of bullets in your box gun, throw me a grenade immediately and blow it up hard!"

Hearing this order, the recruits immediately calmed down, quickly took out the Gong-style wooden-handled grenades from their waists, pulled out the pull rings, and threw them into the crowd of Japanese devils.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Amid the dense sound of grenade explosions, Hiroji Uchida couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

He didn't expect that these Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him had so much ammunition!
The war had been going on for such a long time, and they had only just started using grenades, which was not what he had previously thought.
But Xu Wei will not be lenient just because he sympathizes with his despair.

Instead, he was still shouting loudly, asking the soldiers to take turns to cover each other and continue fighting.

……

About an hour later, the gunfire finally stopped.

Xu Wei, covered in blood, leaned on a Type 38 rifle and finally shouted excitedly:
"Comrades, we won!!!
Quick, clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded!"

Inside and outside their positions, there were corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, blood was flowing all over the hillside, and there was a terrible smell of blood.

The soldiers of the first battalion had experienced a brutal battle and were all exhausted.

Hearing his words, they cheered loudly in surprise:

"We win!"

"Damn the Japs, they're finished!"

"I killed three devils. I finally avenged my parents!"

……

In Huangping Town, Yang Yuanshan had been observing the situation on the battlefield with a telescope. At this moment, he saw the soldiers of the first battalion shouting on the ridges on the north and south sides of the road. How could he not understand that they had repelled the enemy's attack.

He immediately turned to Zhan Haishan and said:
"It seems that Xu Wei and his men have withstood the Japanese attack!"

Zhan Haishan nodded:
"It should be. I just don't know how many casualties they have suffered and whether they can still fight."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan immediately spoke:
"Haishan, you stay here to command. I'll go to the first battalion's position to take a look!"

"Captain, how about I go and have a look?"

Zhan Haishan quickly suggested.

"No, I'll go!"

As he said that, Yang Yuanshan came down from the roof, took a squad of guards with him, and walked quickly over there.
