I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 672 Why do bullets fall from the sky?

The battle in which the Special Forces Regiment ambushed the Japanese 35th Division lasted for a very short time.

Seeing that the Japanese artillery fire was getting more and more fierce, the casualties on our side were getting heavier, and the Japanese charging team was getting closer and closer, Yang Yuanshan decisively gave the order:

"Han Yang, leave 20 heavy machine guns to continue firing at the same location, and the other heavy machine guns retreat 500 meters and fire into the air at 30 degrees!"

Obviously, he was worried that the Japanese were getting too close and was ready to try out long-distance shooting.

This will not only ensure that the soldiers on the position will not be affected in their evacuation, but will also stop the oncoming enemies.

When Han Yang heard this order, he was extremely puzzled and asked quickly:

"Captain, shooting into the air?

Isn't this a waste of bullets?"

"You do not understand!

I don't have time to explain to you now, execute the order immediately!"

Yang Yuanshan saw that the fastest Japanese soldiers were less than 500 meters away from their position. He had no time to explain to him and immediately made the decision.

After hearing what he said, Han Yang stopped talking nonsense and loudly took the order:
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Comrades, fight and retreat, don't delay! Quick!"

Yang Yuanshan shouted again.

"Yes!"

The soldiers all shouted loudly and then began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Yang Yuanshan thought about it. Just now, Chu Kun's company's 16 M18 57mm recoilless guns had successively destroyed the Japanese infantry guns and heavy machine guns. Their performance was very impressive. He immediately sent someone to give him an order:

“Chu Kun, your recoilless guns, retreat 1000 meters, and then fire in unison to cover the retreat of the troops.

Once the Japanese rush into our position, you will continue to retreat and fight with them like flying a kite!

Your guns are light and have a range of more than 3000 meters. The Japanese can't do anything to you!"

When Chu Kun heard that there was a mission, he was immediately excited.

Immediately receive the order and lead your men to retreat.

"Xizi! Xizi!"

After making arrangements for Chu Kun, Yang Yuanshan continued to shout.

"Captain! Is there a mission?"

Wang Xikui appeared out of nowhere.

"Take your men and retreat 500 meters to cover the machine gunners who are left behind.

Don't let the Japs bite them!"

"understand!"

……

As soon as the special forces regiment began to retreat, the Japanese felt that the dense rain of bullets, which was originally as strong as a storm, gradually became sparse.

He suddenly shouted excitedly and rushed forward with high morale.

Everyone feels that being rewarded for their achievements is just around the corner.

The commander of the 219th Regiment, Oi Taro, breathed a sigh of relief and finally said with emotion:

"The Eighth Route Army's bullets have finally run out.

I didn’t expect they had so many bullets that they could hold out until now!”

Then he called a messenger:

"Quick, report to the division commander that the Eighth Route Army has run out of ammunition and is fleeing!
Our 219th Regiment is pursuing with all our might! "

……

However, when the division commander Harada Yuji heard the messenger's report, he did not show any joy on his face, but cursed angrily:
“Bagya Road!
This bunch of idiots can only run away like rats!"

Obviously, he was not satisfied with defeating the secret service regiment.

After scolding him, he instructed his chief of staff, Shirataki Rijiro:
"Shirataki-kun, the 220th and 221st Regiments are too slow!

Send someone immediately to tell them to travel light, speed up, and catch these bastards! ! "

Shirataki Rijiro thought to himself: The Eighth Route Army had only been fighting for less than 20 minutes and they already ran away. Even if the brave warriors of these two regiments had two more legs, they would not be able to catch up with them!

How could it be so easy to cross mountains and hills?
Are you chasing on horseback on the plains?
But he also knew that it was meaningless to argue with Harada Yuji now.

It's better to just deal with it perfunctorily. Anyway, if you can't catch the Eighth Route Army in the future, you won't be the one who will suffer.

So he nodded submissively and agreed.

Then he sent someone to notify the two regiments that were still struggling to cross the mountain.

……

On the 219th Regiment side, Taro Oi commanded his soldiers to rush frantically towards the position of the Special Forces Regiment.

However, at this time, the heavy machine guns of the special forces regiment responsible for covering the rear were still firing crazily.

Therefore, every step forward the Japanese took came at the cost of blood.

Taro Ooi saw that charging forward was not a solution and immediately gave the order:
"Everyone get down and crawl forward!"

Upon hearing this, the Japanese soldiers immediately began to lie down and crawl forward.

This time, their casualties were much less. The heavy machine guns' flames could hardly reach them.

But they were not happy for a few minutes before a sudden blast of bullets fell from the sky, making them cry for their parents again.

But at this moment, they were all lying on the ground, so the area exposed to bullets was even larger, and it was like they were seeking death.

Even Oi Taro's chief of staff, Colonel Tatsuo Koga, was accidentally hit on the forehead by a bullet falling from the sky and fell to the ground instantly.

Seeing this, Ooi Taro could not help but roar:
“Bagya Road!
Why did this bullet fall from the sky? "

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that there is a tactic called "beyond shooting" in the world!
Although he was full of questions, seeing that his people had suffered such heavy casualties, Taro Oi had no choice but to think of a solution.

Considering that there were only a dozen or twenty tongues of fire on the Eighth Route Army's position, it would be much better to stand up and charge directly than to continue lying there and getting beaten.

He immediately ordered:
"Warriors, hurry up, get up and charge!
As long as we charge into the Tubalu positions, we will win! "

Hearing his order, the Japanese soldiers didn't bother to scold him for having different ideas. They all jumped up reflexively and rushed forward.

When they rushed to the position of the special forces regiment about 400 meters away, Oi Taro shouted and ordered:

"Grenade launchers, fire at full speed, blow up the Tuba's heavy machine guns!"

Following this order, the sound of dense grenade explosions rang out on the battlefield.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

At the special forces regiment's position, the person responsible for leading the heavy machine gunners to cover the retreat was Zhou Xiaoshan, the platoon leader of the heavy machine gun platoon of the second company of the third battalion.

When he saw the Japanese's dozens of grenade launchers start firing, he knew they had to retreat.

He immediately yelled:
"Comrades, immediately use up all the bullets, blow up the heavy machine guns, and retreat!"

"Yes!"

The machine gunners and ammunition handlers roared in unison.

In less than a minute, they had used up all their bullets, took out grenades, blew up the heavy machine gun, and began to retreat.

The Japs were overjoyed when they no longer had their heavy machine gun fire to suppress them, and they immediately ran forward with all their might.

It's hard to say whether it's fast or not, but the posture of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey looks very shocking.

It seems that we will be able to catch up with Zhou Xiaoshan and others soon.

However, just when they rushed to about fifty or sixty meters in front of the special forces regiment's position, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, and the dozen or so Japanese soldiers who rushed the fastest fell to the ground in an instant.

There was no time to even scream!

This bizarre scene frightened some clever Japanese soldiers so much that they all fell to the ground and shouted in fear:
"Baga! The local Eighth Route Army special shooter!"

However, there were also some who were slow to react and continued to rush forward, and then fell down one after another.

When Oi Taro saw this, he was naturally furious again.

Seeing that within a few minutes, dozens of his men fell in front of the enemy's position, almost all of them were shot in the head, he immediately shouted loudly:

"Hurry up, let the field artillery extend the firepower and blow up the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine guns and special shooters!"

In fact, he didn't need to remind him. On the field artillery regiment side, Colonel Hideaki Hoshino was already commanding the 12 deployed field guns to begin extending the firepower.

Their Type 38 75mm field gun had a range of 8300 meters, and at this moment, it was bombing the retreating soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment.

However, although field artillery is powerful, its firing rate is relatively slow.

In addition, they only deployed 12 guns, so they did not cause too many casualties to the retreating special forces regiment.

……

As the heavy machine gunners of the special forces regiment responsible for the rearguard action withdrew, the heavy machine guns responsible for carrying out the overtaking shooting also began to withdraw.

Without those deadly bullets falling from the sky, the charge speed of the 219th Regiment finally returned to normal, and Wang Xikui's squad of twenty or so sharpshooters could not stop them.

Soon, they rushed to the Shijialing position.

But when they saw that there was no one on the battlefield and not even many corpses, they suddenly felt extremely depressed.

It was like punching the air with all his strength.

The Japanese officer in charge of the team hurried to report to the regiment commander Taro Oi behind him.

Upon hearing this, Ooi Taro immediately climbed up Shijialing with an incredulous look on his face. He looked towards the west with a telescope and saw many gray military uniforms moving away quickly.

He couldn't help but feel very unwilling.

He drew out the command knife from his waist and roared:
"Warriors, hurry up and catch up!"

Upon hearing his order, the Japanese soldiers immediately howled like wild beasts and continued to chase towards the west.

However, at this moment, a bullet suddenly flew over -

"boom!"

It hit Oi Taro right on the forehead, causing him to fall to the ground with a bang. The colonel's sword in his hand also fell to the ground with a clang.

"Nani?
——The commander-in-chief has died!"

"Hurry up, catch those Eighth Route Army soldiers!"

The Japanese soldiers were in chaos on the spot!
