Volume 1 Chapter 046: Full Fire
The reconnaissance company of the New Second Regiment dispersed to conduct reconnaissance, and this time it was the reconnaissance company commander Li Feng who found himself behind the big knife team.
The entire 358th Regiment focused its attention on the Kuroda Battalion.
It just so happened that all the members of the Big Sword Team were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army in order to pretend to be someone else.
When Li Feng approached, neither the big knife team nor the soldiers from other battalions paid any attention to him.
Li Feng successfully got behind the big knife team.
Shen Quan looked back and saw cold sweat on his forehead.
Apart from the fact that the "friendly forces" ran to his headquarters without any warning, this showed that he was not vigilant enough and needed to reflect on himself.
What’s more important is that he was caught by the real owner.
How to explain all this?
Do you want me to say that I pretended to be an Eighth Route Army soldier in order to attract the Japanese?
If the other party heard this, who knows what kind of trouble would happen!
Shen Quan coughed a few times and said vaguely: "Um... this... let's finish defeating the Japs first!"
Seeing that the Japanese were trapped in the enemy's encirclement, the company commander Li Feng could only be patient and prepare to have a good talk with him after defeating the Japanese.
There’s no problem crossing the line to fight the Japanese!
But you should at least notify me!
Otherwise, if you fight like this, we will be confused.
If our superiors ask us questions, how should we answer?
Li Feng stayed and wanted to wait until the battle was over to find out which unit the other party belonged to.
But after just waiting for a while, Sun Bin completely lost his composure.
Damn it.
Such fierce firepower. Which division of our army is this?
The 129th Division?
its not right!
If it were our army, there's no reason why we wouldn't know.
Li Feng was filled with endless doubts and he carefully observed the group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him.
The more I look at it, the more something seems wrong.
If they were not encircling and suppressing the Japanese, Li Feng would have grabbed him by the collar and asked him about it on the spot.
The sharp gaze behind him made Shen Quan feel uneasy, but he couldn't care less at this moment.
After finally luring the Japanese into an ambush, the most important thing now is to inflict as much casualties on the enemy as possible.
As for the explanation afterwards, that was the captain’s business. What did it have to do with him, Shen Quan?
As soon as the artillery sounded, the Big Sword Team and the soldiers of the 5th Battalion fired at the Japanese army desperately.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda had already questioned all the female family members of the Special High Technology Department and the Military Police.
The Japanese army is capable of fighting, but that doesn't mean that one battalion can fight against a Chinese division.
Especially in battles without artillery and aircraft support.
The 358th Regiment's 8 82mm mortars and 11 75mm mortars opened fire at the same time.
The entire battlefield of the Japanese army was covered.
The Japanese army launched a counterattack in haste.
There were no fortifications at all, and now they were bombarded, which made them pay a heavy price.
Under the fierce coverage of artillery fire, the arrogant Japanese soldiers could not bear it anymore.
They have always been the ones who bullied the Chinese army like this. When have they ever been crushed by such firepower from the Chinese?
Many Japanese soldiers couldn't stand it. They howled like wild animals, "Long live the Emperor!"
He charged towards the 358th Regiment with rifles.
One man set an example, and many Japanese soldiers followed suit and launched a charge.
The Japanese army’s most familiar tactic—pig charge!
It happened again on the Chinese battlefield.
In the difficult situation, the Japanese devils hoped that the pig-rushing tactics could once again lead them to turn the tide of the battle.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chu Yunfei sneered repeatedly.
In the past, the Japanese army had strong firepower support, and the Chinese army was under ruthless artillery fire and was unable to stop the Japanese charge.
The Chinese army, which had already suffered heavy casualties in the artillery fire, was naturally defeated when faced with the fierce attack of the Japanese army that had already rushed to their front.
This earned the Japanese army a reputation for being fierce and good at fighting.
Now, under the crossfire of machine gun fire, the Japanese army's sudden attack was undoubtedly courting death.
Seeing the Japanese army about to launch a charge, Chu Yunfei put down the telescope and shouted, "Hit them hard! Send these bastards to hell!"
Bang, bang, bang…
The reinforced machine gun battalion directly under the regiment had 42 light machine guns and 16 heavy machine guns firing fiercely at the same time, and the firepower formed a scorching fire network.
The battlefield was covered with a dense network of fire.
The desperate Japanese soldiers were like a group of moths flying into a blazing fire.
There was nothing they could do except howl.
Many Japanese soldiers were hit by several bullets and lay on the ground groaning in pain.
Seeing this desperate firepower, the Japanese army had no hope of turning the tables.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda shouted loudly: "Don't go, come back quickly, come back!"
The cruel reality made the excited Japanese soldiers despair in an instant.
They ran back quickly like the tide.
More than 300 people charged, but only a hundred returned alive. The rest will become fertilizer to nourish the land of China in the future.
The remaining 600-odd Japanese soldiers hid on a high ground, which was their only advantage.
He roared: "Make a tactical shift immediately!"
Upon hearing the order from their superior, the Japanese soldiers who had been struggling under the artillery fire immediately picked up their guns, carried their machine guns, and retreated.
When Chu Yunfei saw the Japanese soldiers trying to escape, he immediately shouted, "Attack, we must wipe out these devils!"
I put in so much effort and used so many shells.
It would be a loss if I didn't keep your entire team.
At Chu Yunfei's command, the Big Sword Team, the 5th Battalion and the 1st Battalion, totaling more than 3,300 people, launched an attack on the Japanese army.
They charged towards the Japanese army with guns whistling, and fired grenades and machine guns at them as if they were free.
The Japanese army was horrified to find that the troops chasing them were not the Eighth Route Army, but the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Major Sato was stunned and shouted: "Your Excellency Lieutenant Colonel, we have been fooled. It's not the Eighth Route Army, it's the Shanxi Suiyuan Army! We have been deceived!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda heard this and looked back.
As expected, the ones chasing him were not the Eighth Route Army, but the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
He was so angry that his teeth were chattering.
"You despicable and filthy Chinese! You only dare to act like rats and launch sneak attacks. If you have the guts, have a fair duel with our Imperial Japanese Army!"
Being so far away, Chu Yunfei couldn't hear the Japanese shouting at all.
In fact, even if he heard it, he would just ignore it.
You bastards, how many times have you tried to launch a sneak attack?
Now you still have the nerve to say this to me.
What's more, all is fair in war .
You are stupid, who can you blame?
Chu Yunfei shouted loudly: "Hurry up and catch up, we must not let these devils escape!"
Seeing the Japanese army being defeated, they were fleeing.
The soldiers of the 358th Regiment were in high spirits and each of them was striving to be the first.
The 358th Regiment attacked fiercely.
Grenades and machine guns were fired freely.
Casualties among the Japanese troops who had their backs to the enemy rose rapidly.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda saw that running away was not a solution.
He drew his officer's sword and shouted, "Shoot, shoot, fight back! Let these Chinese see how powerful our Imperial Japanese Army is!"
The Japanese troops who were fleeing just now quickly responded. They immediately took up advantageous positions, hid behind cover, set up machine guns and launched a counterattack against the pursuing 358th Regiment .
The Type 92 heavy machine gun opened fire .
Shoot at the charging soldiers of the 358th Regiment.
Several soldiers were caught off guard and hit, and fell down screaming.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda also quickly opened the radio to contact the commander of the regiment.
"Sir Colonel, we have encountered a surprise attack by the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. They have a large number of people and strong firepower. There is at least one division. We need urgent tactical guidance!"
