Yes, since the Eighth Route Army wanted to attack the arsenal, it must have sent many powerful soldiers to attack. However, the elite soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were not at the same level as the soldiers of the empire.
However, the Eighth Route Army that was able to force the arsenal and even the communications troops to fight was indeed quite powerful.
But Yokoyo Ichiro was not worried at all that the arsenal would be lost. As long as they did not leave the arsenal, the Eighth Route Army, which had only more than a hundred people, would not be able to knock down the arsenal in a short time.
"Forget it, let's not interrupt their battle with phone calls." Yokoyo Ichiro murmured. He came to the chair behind the table and sat down, with his legs on the table, looking very proud of himself. .
From now on, he will be Major Hengyang. He has been in the army for five years and became a Major at the age of twenty-four. This promotion speed is not too slow.
Maybe he could become a colonel before the age of thirty. Thinking about this, Yokoyo Ichiro felt that his future was boundless.
At this time, it is about five miles north from the arsenal.
There is a V-shaped low slope. The road passes through the V-shaped low slope that stretches for several hundred meters, as if a gap has opened. The location of the low slope is about sixty or seventy meters away from the main road.
The Second Battalion Commander of the Independent Regiment led his men to dig trenches on the low slopes on both sides. From the northern stronghold to the arsenal, only the low slopes here are the most suitable for ambush.
As for Qin Yuanxin, he took people to a mountain about two hundred meters away from the road to snipe the Japanese.
"I don't know if things are going well over there at the arsenal." In the trench, the second battalion commander glanced at his watch and said, it was now ten-and-a-half.
"Don't worry, battalion commander. With the soldiers of the special operations company here, we will definitely be able to capture the arsenal quickly." said the company commander next to him.
The battalion commander had told them before that the special operations company was powerful and had such a brilliant record, so he believed that with such powerful soldiers, it would be easy to build an arsenal.
"Yes." The second battalion commander nodded. He turned his head and glanced at the recruits with combat experience. A few minutes ago, they were already trying to calm down and make themselves less nervous as much as possible. nervous.
This battle was different from the previous battles with the veterans when they fought against the Japanese and puppet troops. At that time, they were just learning how the veterans fought, and they did not count on fighting the Japanese with real swords and guns.
But now they have to really fight the Japanese. There are few people who will not be nervous when they know that they may die, especially the new recruits.
The second battalion commander didn’t know how much these recruits could survive. They were all young. If possible, he didn’t want to take these babies to the battlefield to fight the Japanese.
They are all born from father and mother, no one is more noble than the other.
Soon, two minutes later, there was light coming from the corner of the mountain about 400 meters ahead. It was the light of the Japanese motorcycle.
More than a dozen Japanese motorcycles and two military vehicles are driving this way.
"Get ready for combat" the second battalion commander ordered.
The soldiers were ready for battle. Many of them held their breath, as if they were afraid that the Japanese would find them.
Soon, the Japanese convoy was getting closer and closer, when they were still seventy or eighty meters away.
Boom Boom Boom
The landmines on the road were detonated. More than a dozen landmines exploded one after another. Three Japanese motorcycles were directly blown up. The Japanese on board were killed on the spot.
The Japanese riding motorcycles behind them quickly braked, causing a rear-end collision. Two motorcycles were hit and rolled over, and many Japanese were directly injured.
Fortunately, the military vehicle stopped the car, otherwise it would have hit him.
"Hit" Before the Japanese could react, the second battalion commander gave the order.
Bang bang bang
Da da da da
The Eighth Route Army soldiers on the low slopes on both sides opened fire one after another.
Two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun fired at the Japanese with full firepower.
Puff puff puff
More than a dozen Japanese were killed on the spot.
"Counterattack machine gunners to suppress them, artillery, immediately dig and build positions on the spot." The Japanese second lieutenant who led the team immediately organized a counterattack as soon as he got out of the car.
Bang bang bang
Da da da da
The Japanese dispersed into two teams and shot at the short slopes on both sides.
As soon as the five machine gunners of the Japanese opened fire, they were shot to death in less than two seconds. It was Qin Yuanxin and the others who did it.
Their mission is to prevent the Japanese machine gunners from firing.
For a time, gunfire was loud and fierce in this area. Although the Japs were ambushed, the soldiers of the independent regiment could not cause the Japs to suffer too many casualties because their marksmanship, even at this distance, There are very few who can hit the Japanese.
Although I can usually achieve 45% out of 10 in target practice, I cannot fully utilize my strength in actual combat. At most, I can only use 20% to 30% of my strength.
On the contrary, as soon as the Japanese counterattacked, they immediately caused casualties to them. More than twenty soldiers were hit by bullets, and several soldiers died on the spot.
At this distance, even in the dark, the Japanese's marksmanship is more accurate than theirs.
At this time, the Japanese artillery also established a position.
Four artillerymen squatted in front of the grenade. They took the shells and approached the muzzle. Following the commander's order, several artillerymen immediately put the shells into the muzzle.
Bang Bang Bang
Four muffled sounds were heard, and four artillery shells were fired from the muzzle, forming parabolas and falling into the trenches of the Eighth Route Army.
Boom, boom, boom
There were explosions, and several Eighth Route Army soldiers were killed by artillery shells on the spot.
"Damn it, you three will deal with the Japanese artillery, let's keep an eye on the Japanese machine gunners." Qin Yuanxin on the mountain saw this and immediately ordered.
The three soldiers quickly ran away from their original positions. They found a suitable sniper point and fired at the gun.When the soldiers fired, they fired decisively with the light from the muzzle.
Bang bang bang
Two Japanese artillerymen and the artillery commander nearby were killed on the spot.
This scene scared the remaining two artillerymen and they quickly withdrew without even having time to take away the grenades.
The battle continues.
"Second Lieutenant, there are several Eighth Route Army sharpshooters on the mountain over there. Unless we deal with them, our machine guns will not be able to fire at all." A Japanese sergeant came to report to the Japanese Second Lieutenant.
"Then get rid of them quickly," the Japanese second lieutenant said.
When fighting, in addition to relying on the marksmanship of ordinary soldiers, they relied more on the suppressive power of machine gunners to cause damage to the enemy.
Without the suppression of the machine gunners, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"Second Lieutenant, that distance is too far, and those sharpshooters changed positions after one shot. It is not that simple for our people to deal with them." said the Japanese Sergeant.
They are now the center of the ambush point, and it is basically impossible to send people over to deal with those sharpshooters.
"Let the artillery blow them up," the Japanese second lieutenant said. If the infantry can't kill them, the artillery can.
He directly let the four grenades hit the hiding place of the Eighth Route Army. He didn’t believe that these sharpshooters could not be killed.
The most important thing now is to deal with the Eighth Route Army’s sharpshooters. To enable the machine gun here to be fired, please remember to collect it. The latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
