I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 782 Are all the Eighth Route Army strongmen? They can run with heavy machine guns!

In the ravine under Yangtou Mountain, the commander of the 215th Regiment of the Japanese Army, Harada Higashi, was commanding his men to hold on under the brutal firepower of the st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

Waiting for the division commander Shoji Sakurai to mobilize artillery support for them.

However, soon, dense artillery shells did appear in the sky.

Unfortunately, the bombing target was not the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment on the hillside.

——But they are in the ravine!

Chu Kun, the company commander of the 200rd Company of the Special Forces Regiment's Guard Battalion, arrived with 18 of his men, carrying more than a hundred M recoilless guns.

Seeing this group of Japanese devils still daring to resist and even trying to charge towards the hillside.

How could Chu Kun bear it?

Without hesitation, he ordered the soldiers to disperse immediately and open fire with all their might, bombarding the Japanese's grenade launchers, stun guns and other firing points.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

More than 100 57mm shells fell with a loud bang, stunning the Japanese on the spot!
They simply could not understand why the Eighth Route Army had such fierce artillery fire.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on the backs of many people.

They were all thinking in their hearts: The Eighth Route Army’s artillery fire is so fierce, can our Locust Army still win?
The morale of the entire 215th Regiment dropped visibly.

The captain of the detachment, Harada Higashi, could not help but scream:
"Damn it! How come the Tubalu have more than a hundred mortars?"

At this moment, he mistook the recoilless rifles of Chu Kun and others as some kind of mortar.

The wing chief of staff, Masao Nonaka, quickly shouted to him:

"Your Excellency, the situation is not good. I suggest that we move in immediately!

In the direction we came from! Quickly!"

After hearing his reminder, Harada Touya reacted.

They knew that if they continued fighting, the few heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and even light machine guns that they had managed to save from the enemy's Type 92 infantry guns would surely be completely destroyed by the enemy's artillery fire.

By that time, even if we still have the advantage in numbers, we will definitely not be able to defeat the enemy with only the Type 38 rifle.

So he immediately shouted loudly:
"Quick, give up the attack! Turn south! Quick!"

When the Japanese soldiers heard the commander's order, they immediately ran away as if they had been pardoned.

No one wanted to continue shooting at the First Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment on the hillside.

There were even some cowardly Japanese soldiers who dropped their guns.

I don’t know how they will explain this to their superiors when they return.

Maybe he is preparing to transfer directly into the reserve force.

After all, fighting with the Eighth Route Army is too dangerous.

It is safer to join the reserve force for retirement.

They would never have imagined that their local reserve forces were constantly being organized into new troops and sent to the battlefield, making it impossible for them to retire!
……

As the Japanese soldiers ran away, Xu Wei on the hillside suddenly became anxious.

The order given to him by Yang Yuanshan was to eliminate the invading Japanese devils!

Although there are more people in this group, it is not a reason for Xu Wei to fail to complete the task!

——The Special Forces Regiment has never had a battalion or company commander who failed to complete his mission!
So he immediately stood up and shouted:
"Comrades, the Japs have escaped, chase them!
Heavy machine gunners, in front!"

Following his order, dozens of heavy machine gunners in the battalion immediately removed the MG-42 general-purpose machine guns from the tripod, held them in their arms and rushed forward.

They charged and fired at the same time, and the dense hail of bullets caused heavy casualties to the Japanese deserters, who cried for their parents.

A few brave Japanese officers could not endure the pain of being beaten passively, so they stopped with their men, turned around and tried to stop them.

However, before they could fire a few shots, they were blasted with bloody holes by dense heavy machine gun bullets, and died very cleanly.

At this moment, the other Japanese officers collapsed immediately and shouted:

"Baga! How can you run away with the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine gun?
Are they all strong men?"

……

A magical scene appeared in the ravine of Yangtou Mountain: hundreds of soldiers in gray military uniforms were chasing and killing more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers in shit-yellow uniforms.

They kept shooting and killing the slow-running Japanese soldiers.

At the front of the Japanese army, the regiment commander, Harada Higashi, was running out of breath and felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He could not help but ask the heavens in silence:
"Why hasn't your division commander's artillery support arrived yet??"...

Just when Harada Higashi was in urgent need of artillery support from Shoji Sakurai, the two messengers he sent out rushed back to the division headquarters in sweat and met the division commander Shoji Sakurai.

The two men panted and reported the situation to Shoji Sakurai.

When Sakurai Shoji heard this, he immediately felt that he was in trouble.

Not only did he send out a regiment without consulting Kazuo Shinozuka, but now he was ambushed by a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

It's like trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice!

However, he also knew that the most urgent task now was not to apologize to Kazuo Shinozuka.

Instead, they immediately dealt with the Eighth Route Army troops who dared to ambush the 215th Regiment!

Therefore, without any hesitation, he immediately sent someone to order his 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment to withdraw six mountain cannons that were originally engaged in an artillery battle with the artillery battalion of the Special Service Regiment.

Bombard Sheephead Mountain!
Support Harada Higashi!
Unfortunately, he didn't know that at this moment, the 215th Regiment was already retreating.

His six mountain cannons were destined to be in vain.

……

At the foot of Yangtou Mountain, a large Japanese army led by the regiment commander Harada Higashi fled frantically to the south.

The commander of the first battalion of the special forces regiment, Xu Wei, led his soldiers, holding MG-42 machine guns, and chased after them frantically.

In addition, the 12 Type infantry guns of the first battalion's artillery company were also firing intensively, destroying the Japanese at the fastest speed.

Even though the gun barrel was fired red, he didn't care.

As for the Third Company of the Guard Battalion led by Chu Kun, they also did not relax for a moment and operated the recoilless gun frantically.

They kept firing shells at the Japanese troops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

"Zizzizi...zizizi..."

Amid the sound of gunfire that resounded through the sky, the Japanese soldiers fell down quickly.

Hundreds of men were lost in a matter of minutes.

Harada Higashi was so heartbroken that his liver was trembling!
His 215th Regiment had only been engaging the enemy for about an hour, but it had already lost more than half of its men!

It's simply tragic.

However, seeing that he could bypass Yangtou Mountain and escape the enemy's artillery fire by running a few hundred meters forward, Harada Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought: Once the enemy’s artillery suppression is gone, I can arrange a squadron of warriors to stay behind to block the pursuers, which should allow most people to escape, right?

Once I escape, I will find another opportunity to take revenge!
So he shouted to encourage his soldiers;

"Warriors, keep speeding up!

As long as we bypass the hill ahead, the Tubalu's artillery won't be able to hit us!"

After hearing his words, the panicked hearts of the Japanese soldiers around him suddenly calmed down a little, and they seemed to see hope of life.

Everyone ran forward with all their might.

However, what they did not expect was that just when they had just bypassed the hillside and completely escaped the bombing of the Special Forces Regiment's Type 92 infantry gun, they were hit by another intensive burst of bullets.

The fastest running captain, Harada Higashi, was beaten into a bloody mess on the spot, leaving him no time to scream before he went to see the King of Hell.

This caused the Japanese soldiers around him to shout in panic:
"His Excellency the Captain has died!"

"His Excellency the Captain has died!"

The chief of staff of the wing, Masao Nonaka, had his heart pounding like a drum and felt like he had just had a close call with death. The bullet just now almost hit him in the head.

I thought to myself: If I hadn't stepped on empty air and fallen, I would have definitely gone to hell with Harada Higashi.

So at this moment, he was still in shock and did not immediately step forward to command the soldiers of the 215th Regiment to continue charging forward.

After a minute or two, he finally came to his senses. He struggled to stand up and looked forward.

At this moment, he saw at least a thousand men in gray military uniforms, holding light and heavy machine guns that continuously spewed flames, surrounding them.

With pursuers behind and blockades in front, and no heavy weapons in his hands, Nonaka Masao suddenly didn't know what to do.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, that was -

Why are the Tubalu so powerful???
Are they really the beggar armies of the past?
