Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 62 If you don’t want to be a slave of a conquered nation, you have no choice but to risk your life!

The Japanese invaders lacked weapons and ammunition.

Naturally, it is impossible to throw a grenade before entering the house.

After receiving the corresponding battlefield report, Kamimura immediately instructed the soldiers under his command to use local resources.

Craft torches and collect tinder.

Since we can't find out, let's burn them all.

It’s not that these Japs didn’t launch attacks from the corridors and alleys.

Instead, the Third Battalion only needed two machine guns to control the only main road in the village.

Controlling these alleys and corridors usually only requires three or five fighters working in harmony.

If the Japanese invaders want to successfully break through the defense line, they will have to pay a huge price.

As the battle progresses.

The sergeants and squad leaders fighting on the front line also noticed that something was wrong.

More and more officers requested to retreat.

In this situation, Kamimura had to pay attention to the reactions of his subordinate officers.

After the teams and detachments under his command entered the village to fight.

Various unexpected situations left them overwhelmed.

Although it seemed that they had successfully occupied one-third of the village.

But both sides have fallen into a stalemate at this time.

Every ten meters of progress comes at a huge cost.

Kamimura had to admit that he was in a dilemma at this moment.

Continuing the attack would not only result in huge losses, but would also not guarantee final victory.

But if we retreat
"Report, sir, a large number of enemy troops have appeared on our flanks. Judging from their uniforms, they should be the Eighth Route Army troops that harassed us before. They are numerous."

The squadron leader swallowed and added: "Even more than our bullets!"

"Nani?"

Kamimura was shocked and asked again, "How many people are there?"

"Major Kamimura, the mountains are full of enemies!"

"idiot!"

Kamimura naturally didn't believe such abstract statements.

He rushed to the best observation point.

He looked at the guard team and the soldiers of the 771st Regiment who were fighting.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is all over the mountains and plains
But at a glance, there are at least thousands of people
“Beep, beep, beep~!!”

The loud sound of the charge echoed between heaven and earth, which was quite shocking.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers at the front carried a blood-red military flag.

Rush to the front.

Behind the military flag are a large number of soldiers.

They attacked in a wedge formation and pressed forward.

Charging towards the Japanese flank guard squad.

Accompanying their attack.

There are also mortars that have been set up in advance!

This was to support the attack of the 771st Regiment and his own battalion.

The mortar platoon specially selected by Captain Cheng!

However, their attacking formation was relatively sparse.

Captain Xu is no mediocre person.

The human wave charge tactic is an outdated tactic that was eliminated during the First World War.

Not suitable for any battlefield.

"It looks like the whole mountain is filled with enemies, but in reality they only have two battalions."

Kamimura sneered, "It's just a boring trick. Order the artillery to fire!"

"Hai!"

“Boom! Boom!”

One after another, 90mm mortar shells exploded among the soldiers' attacking formation.

The first person these Japanese soldiers focused their fire on was the flag bearer who was at the front.

"Da da da da~!"

"Bagou~!"

After the flag bearer dies, the soldiers rushing to the rear will continue to carry the military flag.

Lead the soldiers to continue to move forward bravely.

"Baga, these damn Chinese people are only brave enough to show off their bravery for a short time!"

"Order the tank troops to launch a counterattack immediately!"

"Hai!" Except for one car that was damaged in the village and could not continue to move.

The remaining three armored vehicles charged towards the soldiers of the 771st Regiment along the road.

"Da da da da~!"

Machine guns fired at them, and soldiers continued to die.

"Captain, why are they fighting the armored vehicles?"

At this time, the company commander Guo Yanzheng, who was defending the left wing high ground, was also shocked.

The Eighth Route Army's fighting style
He put down the telescope and remained silent for a long time.

"Boom!"

Lack of anti-tank weapons.

No, perhaps it was the soldiers of the 771st Regiment who had no anti-tank weapons at all.

A rather primitive method is being used to deal with the Japanese armored vehicles.

They used their comrades' bodies as cover to allow the demolitionists to get as close to the Japanese armored vehicles as possible.

The explosion just now.

It was a soldier who destroyed a wheeled armored vehicle that even they found difficult to deal with at the cost of his own life!
Before that, in order to provide cover for the soldiers.

They have already sacrificed eight fighters!
"Captain, they are risking their lives!"

"They are not from Shanxi, Captain. You can't bring shame to us Shanxi people!"

"Counterattack, Captain!"

Guo Yanzheng gritted his teeth and pounded the sandbag in front of him as if to vent his anger. He asked loudly, "Has the messenger not returned yet?"

"Captain, charge!"

"Yeah, don't wait for the battalion commander's order!"

Guo Yanzheng suppressed his anger and roared, "Damn it, hold it in for me. If you disobey orders on the battlefield, I will shoot you first!"

The headquarters of the third battalion at this time.

Luo Weiguo was also shocked when he heard that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was attacking.

"How many of them came?"

"It should be a whole battalion of troops, attacking the left wing of the Japanese invaders."

Luo Weiguo nodded: "The Japanese have deployed a security team here. With their combat effectiveness, even a battalion cannot break through their defense line."

"Moreover, the Japanese troops had heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and mortars, and were well-trained."

"With the Eighth Route Army's limited manpower and equipment, there is absolutely no chance of victory."

Just as Luo Weiguo was analyzing.

On the other side, Guo Yanzheng saw that the messenger had not returned yet.

He turned to look at his brothers in the trench and asked loudly: "Brothers, charge or not?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

All the soldiers were infected by the tragic sentiments of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they roared in unison.

Guo Yanzheng immediately shouted again: "Squad leader, go to the battalion headquarters and tell them that our second company is requesting to attack!"

"Yes!"

The squad leader moved swiftly and rolled down the back hill.

In two minutes they arrived at the camp gate.

The guard on duty stopped him immediately.

"Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

The squad leader was quite impatient at this time, even though he knew that the battalion headquarters was here.

But he didn't know the exact direction, so he asked very quickly: "Where's the battalion commander?"

The guard on duty was confused: "What did you say?"

"I am Wu Dadan, the squad leader of the second company. I have urgent military information."

As if sensing the squad leader's anxiety, the guard pointed in a direction after hearing clearly: "In the operations room, right this way!"

The squad leader rushed into the battalion headquarters at a rapid pace, and under the guidance of the guards, rushed to the operations room.

At this time, Luo Weiguo was still planning how to get there under the cover of the Eighth Route Army.

Continue to fight the Japanese invaders in the village and consume their manpower.

The two guards at the door of the war room stepped forward quickly.

The messengers of each company are basically people close to the company commander.

Although there are no guards, the messenger is equivalent to half a guard.

I have met most of these guards before and they look familiar to me.

They had never seen the squad leader.

As the last line of defense of the battalion, for safety reasons.

He immediately stepped forward to stop the two people: "What are you doing? Who are you?"

"I'm Wu Dadan, squad leader of the first squad of the second company. I have something urgent to discuss with the battalion commander!"
