Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 49 049, 200 100 80
The ticking sound of the charge horn was still echoing in the valley, and the shouts of killing were even louder than before.

To the north, the hillside was covered with red tasseled spears, rushing down the mountain in clusters like a flood. To the east, the three machine gun crews of the assault team did not move. Even the instructor, who was holding a baby in his arms, did not join the charge. The rest of the team members, however, bravely headed west, waiting to engage in close combat with the Japanese.

On the south side, the soldiers of the first battalion, holding various rifles with bayonets, charged forward for twenty or thirty meters. Then, they simultaneously lit the grenades in their hands and threw them down the hillside.

A few seconds later, grenades exploded in the valley, killing the Japanese soldiers who were looking around, some at a loss, or raising their rifles to fire back.

Different combat distances and positions determine different attack methods.

The south was the closest, with a steep slope and a height advantage, so throwing grenades after approaching was the best option. On the north side, the new recruits, led by a few veterans, only needed to rush over the 200-meter slope to enter the river valley and fight the Japanese. The farthest was the commando team in the east, who were more than 300 meters away from the Japanese.

Well, the Japanese soldiers who were close to the commandos had already been killed in the machine gun fire just now, otherwise Captain Huang would not have led the commandos so close.

At this point in the battle, the number of the Japanese soldiers was less than 200. That's right, when the 3rd Company Commando stopped machine gunning and the supplementary battalion decided to launch an attack, the two main companies of the 200st Battalion killed more than a dozen of the Japanese soldiers, reducing their number to less than .

After this round of close-range grenade attacks, the number of Japanese soldiers dropped to just over 150! Don't doubt why more than 100 grenades were thrown but not many Japanese soldiers were killed. The power of the grenades made in the border area is there, and you can get them whenever you want.

Of course, the fact that grenades can't kill them doesn't mean they are useless! Look, the Japanese soldiers heading northeast of Heshanggou were more or less injured after being bombarded by grenades.

It’s good that you’re injured. We’re going to engage in hand-to-hand combat soon. The fighting power of a person with an injury is different from that of a healthy person!

"Kill..." The first to engage in battle with the Japanese were the main force of the closest battalion.

Soldiers were seen running down the southern hillside quickly, reaching the edge of the ditch under the cover of grenade explosions, and then jumping down, swinging their rifles in the air in an arc of slashing downwards. After a collision of metal and flesh, a dozen unfortunate Japanese soldiers were cut from top to bottom by the blade of the bayonet. Then, all kinds of sewage flowed out of their stomachs.

At the battlefield closest to the western turning, Zhang Dabiao also jumped down, the blade of the big knife in his hand dancing in the wind, and the red silk at the end of the knife was particularly eye-catching.

Plop... Zhang Dabiao fell into a puddle, splashing large amounts of water and rushing towards the surrounding Japanese soldiers.

After he stabilized his body, he quickly stepped forward, and with a sound of wind, the big knife in his hand chopped off a Japanese soldier's neck. However, Zhang Dabiao's knife was not worthy of his knife skills, and the relatively blunt blade did not cut off the Japanese soldier's neck at once, but only cut halfway in and was blocked by the cervical vertebrae.

Zhang Dabiao pulled out his sword with all his strength, then swung it back to block a Japanese soldier's thrust. The Japanese soldier who had just been chopped by him covered his neck with one hand and rolled into the stream involuntarily. Soon, the Japanese soldier stopped moving, and the clear stream water was mixed with a lot of blood and turned red.

The battle of the first battalion was very fierce at the beginning, but the casualties were not heavy. After all, the Japanese soldiers here were attacked by fire from the north, south and east for 3 minutes, and were also bombed by grenades. There were not many who were not injured. Then, the soldiers of the first battalion took advantage of it!

The first battalion, with Zhang Dabiao as the battalion commander, is the most elite force under Li Yunlong. Its combat effectiveness is definitely much higher than that of the supplementary battalion.

At this time, more than 350 soldiers from the supplementary battalion also rushed down the hillside and joined the hand-to-hand combat. Most of them were new soldiers, and two months ago they were ordinary people such as farmers, cart drivers, apprentices, etc. But now, with red tasseled spears in their hands, they were going to fight to the death to protect their hometown!

"Kill... Kill these Japanese devils! If you can't bring yourself to do it, just think about the civilians who were harmed by the devils, those young girls who were raped, those children who were chopped in half alive, kill..." At this time, only national hatred can inspire the bloodiness of the Chinese nation in the bones of these new recruits!
"Kill..." Perhaps it was the shouts of the squad leaders that worked, perhaps it was the training during this period that came in handy, or perhaps it was the comrades in the first battalion who were fighting a decisive battle with the Japanese that gave them courage.

In short, when the red gun cherry changed from being high in the sky to being straight forward, the new recruits of the replenishment battalion made the Japanese feel what fear was!
The length of the red tassel spear is generally more than two and a half meters, and some are even more than three meters. The spear head is about one foot long, and the spear tip and blade are about 20 centimeters long. They are flat and pointed, with double-edged blades and two blood grooves in the middle, which can also strengthen the spear head while reducing weight.

Such a red tasseled spear is suitable for piercing the chest, throat, and also for cutting the throat. The red tassel behind the spear head can not only confuse the enemy's sight, but also block the blood from the puncture at the head of the spear shaft, so that the blood will not flow back to the spear shaft and become slippery.

At this time, the new recruits just held their red tasseled spears and charged straight at the Japanese. There was no skill involved, they just stabbed straight ahead.

With this kind of tactics, fighting against the Japanese one-on-one, you might be blocked by the Japanese's skilled bayonet skills, and then stabbed back. But this time it is a group battle, a collective coordinated battle, a siege battle with more people against fewer people! So, when the Japanese soldiers blocked a gun tip, more gun tips would stab at them from the side, and then there would be nothing else...

Do you really think that the Japanese are the martial arts masters in TV dramas, who can hold more than a dozen red tassel spears under their armpits? That's unrealistic!

Moreover, even if one armpit can hold more than a dozen red tassel spears, what about the red tassel spears stabbing from behind? And given the small body of the little Japanese, even if they are strong, they can't withstand the combined strength of more than a dozen people, right? If this happens, if everyone works together, the little Japanese can be thrown away! We are all rural kids, who can't do Yang Maizi!
Therefore, in the first minute of the hand-to-hand combat, which was also the most intense, the number of Japanese soldiers decreased rapidly, eventually decreasing from over a hundred to just a few dozen.
