Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1240 Not leaving (first update!)

"Da da da……"

Under the cover of nearly twenty heavy machine guns, the first round of the Japanese attack began.

There was no movement on the smoky blocking position, until they rushed to the position of 80 meters in front of the formation, sporadic gunfire sounded.

"Division commander, there are not many Eighth Route Army troops on the ground!" the chief of staff said happily.

But soon, these smiles froze on their faces.

"Bang bang bang..."

When the attacking troops were less than 50 meters away from the position, the gunfire on the position suddenly became denser, and bullets flew over like rain.

In just a few seconds, the casualties of the imperial army exceeded the losses of the 2-minute attack just now.

"Ba Geya Road, the reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army must have come up!" the chief of staff replied with a sullen face.

Then immediately ordered: "The attacking troops retreat 50 meters, the artillery continues to fire, and there will be another 2 minutes of artillery attack!"

The loss of the army is too great. If the loss continues, the army will be completely consumed before reaching Taiyue.Therefore, Fujino must find a way to reduce casualties!
"Boom boom boom~"

Soon, explosions were back at the center of the battlefield.

But it came quickly, and it ended very quickly.

As soon as the blocking position was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, Fujino ordered with a sullen face: "The troops continue to attack and charge with all their strength... This time, without my order, no one can take a step back!"

"The grenades equipped by each team must be used together. Without artillery support, those grenades are their best support firepower!"

Obviously, the 2-minute artillery attack just now worked!

The troops rushed all the way to 40 meters in front of the formation, and the firepower from the formation was still very sparse...

"Division commander, the troops are rushing up!" Soon, a lieutenant in front rushed over excitedly.

A smile quickly flashed across Fujino's tense face, and then ordered: "Follow-up attacking troops will follow up immediately~"

"The troops set off immediately, pass through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, and continue northward!"

But he was not happy for too long, and the gunshots that had just stopped came again.

A lieutenant rushed over panting, with a very complicated expression on his face. When he found Fujino, he reported: "Division Commander, there is another position behind the blocking position, which was just built by the Eighth Route Army, and the attacking troops are making an assault!"

"Baga! Why are they so fast!" Fujino cursed.

Followed the order: "Follow-up troops, two heavy machine gun squadrons, follow up immediately, strengthen the firepower of the attacking troops, and strive for a quick victory and quickly break through the position!"

After speaking, Fujino rushed forward with the guards.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, a voice that turned his face rang above his head.

His face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "Baga! It's bombardment, everyone, take cover~"

"Boom boom boom..."

As soon as the words were finished, an explosion sounded from the position less than 200 meters ahead.

Groups of fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke soared into the sky. Under the light of the fire, the picture of soldiers being blown up clearly appeared in his vision.

Fujino was glad that he was not in the bombardment area, otherwise, under such fierce artillery fire, no matter how many guards he had to protect him, he would be torn to pieces.

"Division commander, the Eighth Route Army has used at least [-] mountain artillery and infantry artillery, and nearly [-] mortars!" The chief of staff looked at everything in front of him and shouted in shock with his mouth open.

"Where did they get so many artillery pieces? There were more than 20 artillery pieces when the armored forces raided us just now, and now there are even more artillery pieces. The number of artillery pieces is even more than that of the imperial army. Is this the Eighth Route Army we know? "

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army, an Eighth Route Army has rushed out, trying to cut off the connection between us and the attacking troops!" A fearful voice suddenly called out from the mouth of the combat staff next to him.

"Baga!" Fujino finally reacted from the lingering fear.

"They want to eat our attacking troops, Chief of Staff, how many troops just crossed the blocking position where the Eighth Route Army is counterattacking!"

The chief of staff frowned and replied: "Two infantry brigades...one brigade for the attacking troops, and one brigade for the follow-up troops!"

"The purpose of the Eighth Route Army's current counterattack position must be to divide the two brigades and then kill them!"

"We must not let their purpose succeed, contact them immediately and retreat!"

"The artillery fires, go up to another infantry brigade, block in front of their attacking troops, hold the gap, and must rescue the two infantry brigades in front!"

"There are not many people in the army. If we lose two infantry brigades, even if we go to Taiyue, it will be useless!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The Devil Artillery reacted very quickly, and fired after waiting less than a minute.

But the shells they had left were enough to fight for 3 minutes, and the devils from an infantry brigade rushed up.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Division Commander, the Eighth Route Army wants to use artillery fire to stop us from responding to the troops!" Seeing the hill covered by artillery fire again, the chief of staff reminded with a worried face.

Fujino's already frowning brows deepened now.

He watched helplessly that the support troops were bombed, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Boom... da da da..."

At this moment, a familiar and worried roar sounded from behind Fujino, followed by gunshots.

"Division commander, the armored troops of the Eighth Route Army are coming!" A lieutenant rushed over and reported with fear.

"So fast!" The chief of staff next to him exclaimed.

Lieutenant General Fujino forced himself to calm down, frowned, and ordered: "The guard brigade blocked the Eighth Route Army's armored troops on the spot... Don't we still have a rapid-fire artillery squadron in our hands? Immediately reinforce them, and resolutely block their armored troops!"

"The support troops also withdrew. The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was too fierce. There is no difference between attacking rashly and dying!"

"Order the two infantry brigades separated by the Eighth Route Army not to retreat the same way, but find a way to bypass the Eighth Route Army's intercepting troops and come back!"

"Without the advantage of artillery fire, it is too difficult to break through the Eighth Route Army's interception through a strong attack, and the casualties are too high, so it is not worthwhile. Therefore, we will not leave tonight, and stick to the spot. After dawn, under the cover of the air force, we will continue to go north!"

In the temporary headquarters of the Eighth Route Army on the front line, Rong Jun and Yan Song were very excited.

The method of the head of the regiment, Wang Ping, was so good that in less than an hour, two infantry brigades were separated from the main force of the devils.

The next thing the two battalion commanders need to consider is how to kill these little devils before dawn with the least casualties.

"Old Yan, the devil's support troops have already retreated, and they are putting on a defensive posture. In this way, we can mobilize all the main forces to participate in the encirclement and annihilation battle!"
