Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The time, place and people were all right, but the unexpected event that the Japanese expected did not come. There was still a constant gunfight between the two sides on the battlefield, and more and more Japanese were killed.

With the protection of the position and the side-fire position, it was difficult for the Japanese to cause casualties to the soldiers in the trenches when their grenade launchers were not effective. After all, the position directly facing the shooting hole was empty, and the shooter was hiding on one side of the shooting hole, with a sandbag in front of his head or simply a bunker in front of the position.

The result of all this was that the Japs kept dying, and the Eighth Route Army became more and more successful.

Of course, because the residual poison gas was still somewhat dangerous, many soldiers felt a little uncomfortable in their throats, and some even couldn't help coughing. But despite this, they still insisted on fighting and didn't think about putting on the troublesome things again.

There is also an officer in the Japanese team, a major at that, but he is in the back and is still on the 400-meter line of fire.

Standing in the back and in the center, the major roughly controlled the overall situation of the battlefield. Therefore, he accurately judged that the situation of this battle was extremely unfavorable and changes must be made.

So he decisively drew out his command knife, threw off his coat, and left only his white shirt exposed to the cold wind.

"Everyone, charge on board, charge on board..." This should have been a coordinated attack method between infantry and artillery, but the major had no choice but to use it. He shouted while running forward with big strides, leading the surrounding devils to run forward together.

The speed of sound is not as fast as that of bullets, but it is definitely faster than the speed of two-legged creatures. So as the sound spread, the Japanese on the entire battlefield knew about the board charge.

As a result, the comrades on the battlefield witnessed the largest and most unforgettable board charge in their lives.

The west wind was strong, the white clothes were stained with blood, and the sabers were like waning moons. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers gave up defense and other actions, and just held their bayonets and swords, jumping towards their own positions at the fastest speed in their lives, showing a resolute temperament, a spirit of bravery and fearlessness of death.

However, facing such devils, the company and platoon leaders on the battlefield laughed.

"Comrades, the Japanese are trying to engage us in hand-to-hand combat... The messenger has passed on my order - everyone, let the Japanese get close... Get your shotguns ready, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, assault rifles, and shotguns ready... Grenade throwers, get ready to throw grenades... 200 meters, 100 meters... shoot!"

Are the Eighth Route Army afraid of close combat? The Eighth Route Army has never been afraid of close combat, especially hand-to-hand combat! Of course, bayonet fighting was a last resort in the past, but now they don’t use bayonets in close combat.

That's right, there are shotguns for area shooting, light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns for sweeping attacks, and grenade bombing for closer attacks. The semi-automatic rate of fire is also enough to suppress the Japanese offensive. Do we still need to use bayonets?

Amid the sound of boarding, the Japanese soldiers advanced frantically, approaching the Eighth Route Army's position step by step. Then, the reconnaissance company commander in charge of the western front shouted loudly, and all kinds of weapons began to spit out ammunition.

Bang, bang, bang... Although there were only six shotguns, it was the first time today, and probably the last time, that they were used, directly covering a large area in front. Well, because the Japanese were scattered and the battle line was long, this volley only killed a dozen Japanese soldiers, which was simply the worst result in history.

Shotguns are difficult to load, and the killing effect is reduced due to dispersion, so the soldiers operating the shotguns immediately picked up the semi-automatic guns beside them and pulled the trigger at the Japanese who continued to rush forward. Not to mention, at such a close distance, the semi-automatic continuous shooting directly cleared the Japanese in front. In other areas of the battlefield, the heavy machine guns of the 1st, 2nd and 9th companies, and the light machine gun groups of the reconnaissance companies and the 9th companies also opened fire at the same time.

In today's blocking battle, because of the presence of snipers and precision shooters, and because of the subsequent fighting methods, machine guns have been useless. Now the machine guns sounded, bullets whizzed out, and the Japanese in front were eliminated one by one on the road of charge, and the effect was much better than the shotgun.

As time went on, the Japanese rushed into the 50-meter range in the blink of an eye. At this distance, it was the grenade throwers' world, and it was also the world of submachine guns, shotguns, and even double-barreled shotguns. The grenade throwers took the lead, pulled the grenade, and threw it out, and it just landed next to the Japanese who rushed over.

Boom boom boom... The grenade exploded, and one or two of the surrounding Japanese soldiers were blown to the ground and died immediately. In a corner of the battlefield, a young comrade who had just thrown a grenade saw two more Japanese soldiers in front of him. He was not afraid at all, and directly picked up the engineer shovel and bench beside him, waiting for the Japanese soldiers to rush over with the shovel in one hand and the bench in the other.

This young comrade is a grenade thrower soldier and is very good at using it. Now he is really going to fight for his life!

"Go get killed..." The two Japanese soldiers who were not blown up saw the situation in the trench ahead and knew that there was only one Eighth Route Army soldier in the small section ahead, and he didn't have a gun. He was simply asking for his life.

However, before the two Japanese soldiers could be happy, a tall man suddenly stood up at the fighting position more than 30 meters away from the young soldier, holding a submachine gun in his hand.

Da da da... Chi chi chi... The submachine gun fired continuously, the bullets whizzed past, and the two Japanese were shot into sieves.

"Bah! I just took the time to change the magazine and you guys came running over. Do you really think I'm gone?" The tall soldier cursed while changing his body angle and pulled the trigger at another Japanese soldier diagonally opposite him.

Da da da... The bullets of the submachine gun were light and crisp, but their lethality was not low at all. The Japanese soldier he aimed at had three blood holes bursting out of his body, and he fell down in front of the trench.

With weapons like submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, this was not a fair fight in itself. Especially when the Japanese took a desperate board attack at the end, it was an act of rushing forward to give up their lives.

Do you really think the Eighth Route Army is still a millet plus rifle? Rifles are all sniper rifles, okay, at least they are semi-automatic rifles. Well, there are also Type 81 horse rifles, but they are all in the hands of logistics units. Anyway, the comrades in the reconnaissance company, guard company and other units will not use them.

As time passed, the effects of the poison gas were no longer a problem, and the bloody battle on the battlefield came to an end. Although there were casualties in some trenches due to the Japanese counterattack, the final result was that all the attacking Japanese were eliminated.

Casualties? That’s inevitable. Stray bullets can still hurt people. It’s a matter of probability.

However, it was worth it to take down these devils at the cost of 29 casualties and 146 injuries. The casualties and injuries were mainly caused by poison gas, and there were not many who actually participated in the battle. (End of this chapter)
