I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

On the battlefield on the ridge south of Zhengtai Road.

When the Japanese captain, Kuroshima Yasuhiro, heard the artillery shells flying, he shouted:
"Artillery attack! Avoid the artillery fire!"

He held his head with both hands.

In fact, he knew that there was no way to avoid it at this moment and he could only endure it.

Whoever is lucky will not be killed by the explosion.

As he shouted, four shells landed -

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The explosion of the 70mm caliber, 6-jin-weight shell produced a considerable shock wave and countless shrapnel, sending all the Japanese soldiers within ten meters of the landing point back home.

It caused all the Japanese soldiers within a 20-meter radius to scream miserably.

But after the shrapnel storm had passed, Kuroshima Yasuhiro did not bother to call for medical soldiers to treat the wounded, but immediately raised his head and shouted:

"Warriors, hurry up and move forward!
Only by rushing to the Tubalu position can their artillery stop bombing!"

I don't know whether it was because he had great prestige in his own brigade, or because the Japanese soldiers all agreed with his opinion at this moment, but anyway, after hearing his orders, the Japanese soldiers all regained their spirits and crawled forward frantically.

……

While their team of several hundred people was under artillery fire, the Japanese soldiers from the first squadron at the front had already rushed to a position about 500 meters in front of the third battalion's position.

The squadron leader, Lieutenant Takusuke Hamada, couldn't help but feel excited when he saw that the opposite position was quiet except for the four Type 4 infantry guns firing.

He quickly ordered loudly:

"Warriors, the Tubalu really don't have much ammunition left.

Our chance to make a difference has come!
Now I order: Grenade throwers, open fire and provide covering fire immediately!
Everyone else, stand up and charge, rush into the Eighth Route Army’s trenches as quickly as possible!
It’s a black card! Onboard——”

Following his order, the hundred or so Japanese soldiers under his command immediately took action.

He suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the position of the third battalion with all his might!

……

Their charge immediately triggered a stress response from the first company of the third battalion of the special forces regiment.

Company commander Su Defu resolutely ordered:
"Aim your rifles and fire! Don't let these little Japs get in!"

Following his order, more than 200 soldiers holding Type 38 rifles immediately pulled the trigger.

Amid the sound of "bang, bang", bullets were fired at the Japanese.

It was easy to kill or wound thirty or forty Japanese soldiers.

This caused screams on the battlefield.

However, seeing this situation, the brigade commander Yoshino Hideki behind the Japanese position was not angry but happy. He continued to observe with the telescope tightly, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice:

“There were only rifles firing, and there weren’t that many of them. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army was really running out of bullets?

Or have they been severely damaged by my First Regiment, and now there are only two or three hundred people left who can fight?"

Hearing this, the 49th Regiment Commander Nomura Takuma was very surprised and urged:

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, if that's the case, then our remaining two battalions should charge forward immediately!

With superior forces, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Yoshino Hideki was somewhat tempted, but he finally decided to play it safe first, so he shook his head:

"Don't worry, let's take a look!"

After hearing this, Takuma Nomura became even more speechless.

I couldn't help but continue to complain about this guy in my mind - he is a coward and afraid of death, a wimp!

……

Just as the sound of gunfire from the Type 4 rifles on the battlefield was rang out as densely as frying beans, the four Type infantry guns of the Third Battalion's artillery company had fired the four reserved shells.

The gunners cursed as they cleaned the barrels:
"It's just a few rounds of artillery fire, it's not enough!"

"Squad leader, I haven't even fired yet, how come it's over?"

"Damn little devils, they are so ignorant!

I don’t know why they all rushed up!”

……

On the Japanese side, seeing that the infantry gun that had just destroyed them madly had gone silent, the battalion commander, Major Kuroshima Yasuhiro, immediately shouted excitedly:
"Warriors, the Tubalu infantry artillery is out of shells!

Hurry up, speed up and charge!
Respond to the First Squadron!"

Hearing his shouts, the Japanese soldiers, who were already exhausted, squeezed out the last of their strength from their bodies and rushed forward madly.

There were even some who were fearless enough to jump up from the ground, take big strides, and rush forward, regardless of the threat of direct artillery fire.

With such a reckless man leading the way, most of the Japanese soldiers thought that this was Kuroshima Yasuhiro's life, so they jumped up and charged forward.

——If they don’t want to be trampled to death by the people behind them, they have no choice but to jump up!
For a moment, their charge speed was several times faster than before.

……

At the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, Guo Youqing saw that some Japanese soldiers were so brave that they dared to stand up and charge.

He immediately sneered and said:
"Good fellow! Are the Japanese so bold?

This is not taking our machine guns seriously!"

Then he shouted and ordered:

"Comrades, fire now!
Fire another magazine to loosen up those devils' bones!"

Upon hearing the order, the gunners immediately stepped on the pedals and massacred the Japanese charging troops with shell after shell.

……

On the rear side of the Japanese army, the brigade commander Yoshino Hideki was very excited when he saw that the heavy machine guns of the 4rd Battalion of the Special Service Regiment had not fired, and only four infantry guns had fired, and they only fired four shells before stopping.

He shouted:

"The Eighth Route Army is really running out of ammunition!
Nomura-kun, take your men and rush forward immediately to destroy them!"

Nomura Takuma nodded quickly after hearing this:
"Hi!"

Then he went to call his second and third battalions, and stood up and prepared for action.

However, before he could set off, he heard intensive artillery fire again.

At a glance, one could see those soul-stirring direct-fire artillery shells were madly reaping the lives of the brave warriors of the First Battalion.

This time, he was in a dilemma, and turned around with an unpleasant look and asked Yoshino Hideki:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, shall we continue to charge?"

Of course, Yoshino Hideki also saw the situation on the battlefield at this moment, and he was immediately extremely conflicted.

Charge! Facing these terrible artillery pieces that can kill an entire column of people with one shot, the losses will surely be huge!
If you don't rush, you might waste this God-given opportunity.

His expression changed from dark to bright, and after 30 seconds, he finally gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Spread out and charge at the fastest speed!

Although the direct-fire artillery of the Tubalu is powerful, it cannot stop our brave and fearless Locust Army warriors! "

In the end, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity to turn the tables and save his military career.

Following his order, Takuma Nomura could only make a bitter face and lead more than two battalions under his command to rush towards the position of the Third Battalion.

While rushing, he shouted:

"It's a black card! Onboard! Onboard——"

……

At the third battalion's position, Wang Quanfa was somewhat nervous as he saw the more than one hundred Japanese soldiers in the front firing crazily at his position.

At this moment, although these guys suffered attacks from the infantry soldiers of the first company of the third battalion, they had high tactical qualities and a firm will to fight.

Soon, the wounded soldiers provided cover on the spot while the others dispersed to charge forward, which created considerable pressure on the Third Battalion.

In terms of marksmanship, the soldiers of the Third Battalion are still not as good as these elite Japanese devils!

Instructor Zheng Hang saw that some Japanese soldiers even had grenades in their hands, as if they were ready to throw them at any time.

Trenches have no defense against this thing!
So, he couldn't help but remind Wang Quanfa:

“Old Wang, it’s time for the soldiers to fire at full force!

We can't let the Japanese really rush into our position, can we?" Wang Quanfa saw that the fastest rusher in the Japanese team was less than a hundred meters away from our position!
His expression was also somewhat solemn.

But the next second, when he saw the huge crowd of Japanese soldiers in the distance charging forward, he replied excitedly:

"hold on!"

"Still waiting?"

Zheng Hang was extremely anxious.

"Once the large Japanese force enters the range of our infantry artillery, today's battle will be won.

Wait a minute, it's worth it! ”

Wang Quanfa explained.

"Large army?"

Zheng Hang quickly looked into the distance and saw a large number of Japanese soldiers rushing towards him frantically. Judging from the number of people, there seemed to be about two thousand of them!
He became anxious again and asked quickly:

"Old Wang, it looks like the Japanese are out in full force. We only have a battalion of over a thousand people. Can we feed them all?"

Wang Quanfa smiled slightly:
"What are you afraid of? Don't you have Lao Guo to help you?
Their machine guns are quite powerful."

"But once the Japs get down on their stomachs and crawl forward, the machine guns will be useless!"

Zheng Hang felt that Wang Quanfa was a little too confident.

"It doesn't matter. Don't we still have 12 Type 12 infantry guns and recoilless guns in our battalion?
Once the Japanese are within range, these 24 guns will fire at full speed, which will definitely give them a hard time!
As long as the Japanese heavy artillery does not move its guns, our position will be as stable as a rock!
It's just two or three thousand little devils, it's nothing!"

Wang Quanfa is full of confidence.

Back then, he was in the field hospital at the headquarters, leading a dozen wounded soldiers who were out of bullets and guns, and dared to stop a battalion of Japanese devils.

What's more, we are now strong and powerful!
So scared!
If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years!
……

After hearing what he said, Zheng Hang could only put his mind at ease for the time being and stared at the movements of the Japanese devils with his bright eyes.

After Wang Quanfa gave his partner a reassurance, he immediately issued an order to each company:

"Artillery Company, when the large force behind the Japanese invaders enters 2500 meters, open fire immediately and bomb with all your might!

As soon as other companies hear the sound of artillery fire, they must open fire immediately to deal with the hundreds of Japanese soldiers in the middle. Never let them get close to the trenches!
The first company used light and heavy machine guns and box guns as appropriate to annihilate the more than 100 Japanese soldiers in the front about meters in front of the position!
Don't let them get into our trenches!"

After hearing his order, all the soldiers of the Third Battalion immediately roared with excitement, and an invisible murderous aura soared into the sky!
……

At the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, Guo Youqing observed through a telescope that a large force of Japanese devils were charging frantically.

Immediately order:

"Everyone, open fire and attack the Japs as hard as possible!"

Following his order, the 18 Suratong ST-5 machine guns immediately began to sing cheerful songs.

The 20-round magazine was emptied in the blink of an eye.

The hot shells fell on the battlefield with a clanging sound, and soon piled up into small hills.

……

On the Japanese side, the regiment commander Takuma Nomura personally led nearly 2000 people and rushed towards the position of the Third Battalion across the mountains and plains.

At first, apart from the blood on the battlefield which slowed down their movements, there was no hindrance.

So they are extremely fast.

But after running for only a few minutes, the whistling sound of the 20mm caliber shells began to make them feel miserable.

All the Japanese soldiers don’t know whether their heads will explode in the next second!
Fortunately, Nomura Takuma gave the order in time:

"The Eighth Route Army's direct-fire artillery has opened fire. Get down immediately! Crawl forward!"

The Japanese soldiers, under the shouting of the officers, immediately lay on the ground and crawled forward little by little.

This time, all the shells fired by the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion flew over their heads.

Even though Guo Youqing quickly gave orders to the gunners to lower their guns, they were unable to cause too many casualties to the Japanese.

……

When Yoshino Hideki saw the situation on the battlefield, his originally anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

I couldn't help but say contemptuously:
"Yoshi! The artillerymen of the Tubalu are so stupid!
Such a waste of ammunition!"

However, his pride did not last long.

But a few minutes later, he suddenly saw through the telescope that the soldiers of the squadron he had sent out first were falling one after another on the battlefield.

When he saw three or four tongues of fire suddenly appearing on the enemy's position, he instantly realized that the enemy was not really out of heavy machine gun bullets!
It's just that I didn't use it just now.

This time, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

But he still forced himself to comfort himself: The Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns should not have many bullets left, otherwise, they would not have opened fire just now!
Although these three or four heavy machine guns can stop his own infantry company, they certainly cannot stop the battalion led by Kuroshima Yasuhiro, so there is no need to worry!

However, just as he finished his self-consolation, he heard a sharp whistling sound suddenly coming from the sky -

"咻咻咻...咻咻咻..."

Yoshino Hideki looked up hurriedly and saw 12 shells with tail flames, like meteors of fire from the sky, smashing towards the large army led by Nomura Takuma.

Twelve M12 recoilless guns with a maximum range of more than 3900 meters opened fire.

Almost within a breath, the shells hit the ground, making a huge explosion.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

At this moment, his eyes widened into a circle, and he wished he could jump out and fall to the ground.

I couldn't help but scream:
"Baga! Damn Tubalu!

Cunning, cunning! "

He was not stupid, so he naturally understood that it seemed like he had fallen into a trap!
The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side did have artillery shells.

Otherwise, where did these dense artillery shells come from?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his hands and feet cold.

Even if they lost a regiment, they could still transfer it to the reserve.

If I find an opportunity to move around later, maybe I still have hope of returning to the army.

But now, it seems that even the only remaining wing is about to be destroyed.

Then, I'm afraid the only option left for me is to be loyal to His Majesty Tian Huang.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, he almost fell to the ground.

Two messengers hurried up the hill and shouted to him:

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander!

His Excellency the Division Commander orders you not to launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army rashly, but to immediately turn back and reorganize your formation!

Wait for the field artillery regiment to take action and blow up the direct-fire artillery of the Eighth Route Army!"

Hearing this order, Yoshino Hideki felt as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and was overjoyed.

He thought to himself: This must be because Jiro Uchiyama said something good to me in front of the division commander.

Not bad!

It’s worth it that I’ve been so kind to him every day!
But his face showed anger instead of joy, and he shouted:
"Baga! My warriors are already fighting with the Eighth Route Army, they can't move in at all!"

The two messengers obviously did not expect that the other party would refuse to accept the order.

He immediately changed color and asked:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, do you want to disobey military orders?"

As they were talking, both of them couldn't help but take two steps back, fearing that the other party would suddenly draw his knife and chop them.

Of course, Yoshino Hideki would not disobey military orders.

He acted like this just to pass on the blame.

Hearing the messenger's question, he immediately responded with an indignant look on his face:
“Bagya Road!
The good situation of our First Brigade has been ruined!!!"

Then he hurriedly ordered his men:

"The division commander has ordered: stop the attack!
Hurry up, turn back!!!"

As if he was afraid that the two messengers would change the order immediately.
