I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 795: Eliminating them in 20 minutes is a great honor for them!

Just when the New 1st and 2nd Regiments wiped out a battalion of Japanese devils, the 5th Battalion of the Special Service Regiment, led by Battalion Commander Zhao Tietou, fought and retreated, leading six or seven hundred Japanese devils to rush towards Kutaoao.

After the hard battle in the previous attack on Ehu Ridge, there are now less than 700 people left in their Fifth Battalion, except for the artillery company that had evacuated long ago.

Soon, more than 600 people ran to the road which was only 600 to 700 meters away from Kutaoao.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to Kutaoao, but there was no movement in front, Deputy Battalion Commander Fu Xiaojun couldn't help but ask Zhao Tietou in confusion:

"Captain, Captain Guo and his men are not ready for an ambush, are they?

Are we going to retreat to Kutaoao?"

Previously, they arranged for Guo Youqing to lead the artillery to retreat first, partly because the artillery retreated slowly and they would not be able to retreat if they did not retreat first.

On the other hand, it was also agreed that they should find a place to ambush on the road and prepare to eat up this group of Japanese devils.

Zhao Tietou was also a little nervous, but he also knew that as a battalion commander, he could not show any hesitation in front of the soldiers.

So I still answer firmly:

"Certainly not!
You don’t believe Lao Guo, but you also don’t believe the team leader?

"Captain, can you let these little devils go?"

Hearing what he said, Fu Xiaojun nodded immediately.

In their minds, Yang Yuanshan never gave the Japanese any chance to survive.

Now these six or seven hundred Japanese devils actually dare to pursue them alone. Can Yang Yuanshan still let them go?
Sure enough, just as they finished speaking, suddenly, a burst of dense artillery fire came from the hillside not far away -

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

Along with the sound of artillery fire, countless shells, like hail, hit the Japanese pursuers.

The Japanese soldiers were immediately scared and screamed.

The captain of the Japanese team shouted loudly:
"Baga! Artillery fire! Dodge the artillery fire! Quickly!"

However, before he could finish his words, dense artillery shells hit the ground.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Shrapnel flew everywhere, gravel splashed, and dust and smoke rose up!

The shock wave of the artillery shells blew the Japanese soldiers' limbs and arms all over the sky. It was a horrific sight!
Seeing this, Zhao Tietou immediately shouted excitedly:

"Comrades, the time has come to strike back!

Quick! Get down low and fire at full speed to kill the little devils!
Let these sons of bitches know how powerful our Fifth Battalion is!"

Upon hearing his order, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion immediately stopped fleeing, turned around, squatted on the spot, and started shooting fiercely at the Japanese.

The dense bullets immediately knocked dozens of Japanese soldiers to the ground.

……

Seeing that the favorable situation of chasing the drowned man suddenly turned into an unfavorable one, the Japanese captain was terrified.

He lay prone on the ground and looked around carefully.

We saw enemy artillery shells being fired from the hillsides on the north and south sides, and it was obvious that they had made ambush preparations in advance.

And there are at least dozens of cannons!
The shells were so dense that they looked like a violent storm!
He couldn't help but roar to the sky:

"idiot!
How come the Eighth Route Army has so many artillery pieces?
And their artillery shells, don't they have enough shells?"

A Japanese squadron leader standing next to him couldn't help but complain in his heart after hearing what he said: It's all your fault, you useless guy, for leading us into this pit!

What’s the point of saying this now?

I quickly shouted at him:
"Captain, what should we do now?
If we continue to passively take the beating, we will all be annihilated!"

When the Japanese captain heard the reminder, he immediately wanted to curse in his heart.

I thought: How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?
With such dense artillery fire, we will be dead whether we charge or retreat!
But he also knew that the situation was critical and as the commander, he had to make a decision immediately.

Otherwise, the entire army will be wiped out!
In a split second, he gave the order:
"Hurry up!

Charge toward the southern hillside and seize the enemy's artillery position!"

I have to say that the basic qualities of the Japanese officers are still quite solid.

At this moment, his six or seven hundred people were attacked from three sides by the special forces regiment from the west, south and north.

If they move forward, they will have to face resistance from the remaining 600-odd men of Zhao Tietou's Fifth Battalion.

Even if they could blend in with these soldiers under the artillery attack and make the artillery of the special forces regiments in the north and south afraid to stop firing, it would only be a temporary peace.

After eliminating Zhao Tietou's 600-plus men, they would still face artillery attacks from both the north and south.

By then, even if the whole army isn’t wiped out, there probably won’t be many good pieces of cake left!
If they retreated, they would have to flee at least one or two kilometers under the continuous bombardment of so many artillery pieces of the Special Forces Regiment to barely avoid the artillery fire.

Obviously no one can guarantee how much they can escape over such a long distance.

What's more, once they turned around and ran away, they would be leaving their backs to the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment, which would definitely make Zhao Tietou overjoyed.

Who doesn't like to beat a drowning dog? So now, the Japanese captain chose to attack the south side where the slope was gentler, climbing the mountain to seize the artillery position, although it was extremely difficult.

But once successful, they can use the captured artillery to engage in an artillery battle with the special forces regiment soldiers on the northern hillside.

Who knows, we might even be able to turn defeat into victory.

Even if you are defeated, you can still go into the mountains and retreat to the rear.

It is indeed a way out!
Following his order, the Japanese soldiers immediately turned around and crawled towards the southern hillside amidst the flying shrapnel.

……

On the hillside, Zhan Haishan, deputy commander of the Special Forces Regiment, and Guo Youqing, commander of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, stood together.

Seeing the little devil's response, Zhan Haishan couldn't help but praise:
"The commander of this group of devils is extraordinary!

They actually knew that attacking the southern slope was the only chance of survival."

Guo Youqing curled his lips:
"Humph, the little devil wants to live, but I, Guo Youqing, don't agree."

After saying this, he walked to his artillery position and gave the order:
"Comrades, hit me hard!
The little devil wants to escape, no way! "

Following his order, the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion immediately operated the Oerlikon machine guns in their hands and fired wildly.

Fire the shells one by one.

Relying on the high firing rate of the machine gun, the Japanese were unable to move!

Although they were lying on the ground, the machine gun shells flew towards them, but they couldn't hit them one by one.

But the artillery shells hit the ground and caused rocks to fly everywhere, which could easily take their lives!
Moreover, after the artillery opened fire at full strength, Zhan Haishan did not continue to watch the show.

Instead, he ordered the more than 2,000 new recruits of the special forces regiment who were also lying in ambush on the hillside to open fire at the Japanese.

Although these new recruits had no veterans to lead them, their combat effectiveness was extremely poor and their marksmanship was average, but with so many people firing at the same time, they still put tremendous pressure on the Japanese.

The bullets rained down like rain, slowing down their attack on the mountain.

The Japanese captain felt extremely anxious when he saw this.

Knowing that he would be doomed if he failed today, he immediately sent out a messenger to crawl westwards to ask for help from the rear.

However, at this time, Zhao Tietou on the east side also realized the Japanese's purpose of attacking the mountain to the south.

He immediately ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion to pursue southwards, intercept the Japanese from the southeast, and slow down their attack speed.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield was extremely intense.

Yang Yuanshan, who was already preparing to retreat, heard that the situation here was in chaos. He immediately climbed up the hillside and began to observe through a telescope.

After a moment, he smiled and said to Zhang Xiaohe beside him:

"The Japs will probably be finished in twenty minutes!"

"what?
twenty minutes?

So fast? ! !
I think there are still about 400 to 500 of these Japanese soldiers, right?"

Zhang Xiaohe couldn't believe it.

“Hey, what are four or five hundred people?
Our firepower is so strong that we can wipe them out in 20 minutes. We are giving them face!"

Yang Yuanshan answered lightly.

……

The fact was just as Yang Yuanshan expected. About 20 minutes later, the sound of gunfire on the battlefield became sparse!

There were only a few dozen frightened Japanese soldiers left, and they fled westward desperately under the leadership of a squad leader.

Seeing this, Zhao Tietou was about to lead the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion to chase after them, but he heard a loud "boom" behind him.

His face changed and he quickly turned his head to look, only to see seven huge tanks emitting black smoke, rolling towards the battlefield at lightning speed.

Zhao Tietou heaved a sigh of relief and quickly gave the order:
"Comrades, move aside and make way for the comrades from the tank company!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion hid by the side of the road, muttering:
"These damned Japanese devils got away with it. Otherwise, I would have cut these bastards into pieces!"

"That's right! That's right! They were chasing us so closely just now!"

……

Soon, the tanks drove past them and chased after the Japanese deserters who had already run a long distance away.

In less than five minutes, these dozens of Japanese devils were easily sent back home.

However, the weeds on the road will inevitably grow exceptionally lush next year.

Finally, the tank company commander Kong Dacheng got to vent his anger at being chased and bombed by the Japanese cannons in the morning!

……

The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion could not help but feel a little envious when they saw how easily they did the job of strangling the remaining enemies.

Everyone thinks: It’s so cool to drive this iron car!

I want it too!
