Chapter 1320 Chapter 1329, the Japanese are getting weaker and weaker

Author: No one left alive

"Is there something wrong with this group of Japs today?" At the headquarters of the 3rd Battalion, which was further behind the position, Battalion Commander Zhang looked at the direction of the Japs' attack and inadvertently made such a sound.

"Battal Commander, what's wrong with this? The Japs are still those Japs, using the same 38 caps and crooked handles. They don't even have a Type 99 rifle. Isn't this the same as before?" On the side, the artilleryman

The commander of the 3rd battalion company put down the artillery scope in his hand and turned around and asked with some confusion.

"It doesn't taste right, it doesn't taste right! The little Japs started right. They launched an artillery bombardment first and let a small group of Japs approach our position. This is all right. But the time is wrong! We only have one battalion of troops and put them there.

The one on the top of the mountain is just a company, but the Japs are a group of more than 800 people, and the puppet troops are more than a thousand." The 3rd Battalion Commander glanced around before continuing.

"Young devils, they have four to five hundred more troops than us, and they are still on the offensive side. However, from the time they discovered our position to the time they launched the artillery bombardment, they had a full 45 minutes of preparation time. Moreover, their artillery's accuracy was so poor that they bombed several rounds.

, they didn’t even touch the edge of our trench, and we were so scared that we ran all over the mountain after one test firing, and we didn’t even run away!”

"Look at the attacking team now, their formation, the direction of attack... they don't look like serious Japanese soldiers!" The 3rd Battalion Commander held a telescope and looked ahead with a certain tone.

"Then what should we do?" Instructor Lao Li came over and asked the battalion commander for his opinion. Now, the military chief has the final say on war matters.

"What should I do? I really want to understand this! At the beginning, what I thought was to defend this valley and not let a single Japs pass by, even if it takes our entire battalion's effort, no matter the cost!" said the 3rd Battalion Commander.

Here, he then said with a self-deprecating smile: "But I really didn't expect that we little devils are so weak? With this offensive rhythm, who will I hit with my fireworks and cannons? Who will I hit with my shotgun positions?"

That's right, the 3rd Battalion Commander's initial position layout was defensive. On the position, 12 groups of shotguns from the entire battalion were deployed, and 20 groups of fireworks cannons were arranged on the mountain on one side of the river valley, all of which were directed toward the front of the position.

The distance is from 150 meters to 800 meters. However, now the main force of the Japanese team is stopped 1000 meters away, and the attack is only a small team... It is so uncooperative!

If the Japs don't cooperate, how can you be patient? The commanders and fighters of the 3rd Battalion are still urgently making tactical adjustments, and the Japs' attack has already begun. Of course, a small team faces a company.

"Think about it, when we first entered China, a small team of troops could defeat a Chinese regiment! Now?" Fujii was also observing the situation on the battlefield and muttering to himself.

What's the situation now? Just at the front, the 8th company commander frowned and looked at the Japanese who had approached 300 meters in front of the position. Although he was a little unsure of the Japanese's intentions, it did not prevent him from changing his tactics decisively. So, he

He waved his hand and asked the communication soldiers to send a message to the position: "Senior veterans with semi-automatic fire, these devils are left to you!"

Now, the Eighth Route Army has a clear concept of snipers and precision shooters, so each platoon has at least two full-time precision shooters and at least one sniper as a strategic deterrent.

However, the 8th company commander's order was to fire semi-automatically, that is, the captain and deputy squad leader of each squad, and the captain and deputy leader of the assault group fired.

So, after a burst of gunfire, this small group of Japanese soldiers were all shot to death at the foot of the mountain before they could even reach a distance of 200 meters from the forward position.

"Baga... It seems that my guess is correct. The Eighth Route Army is really difficult to fight!" On the Japs side, Fujii said with some distress and a headache.

"Well, our marksmanship has not been in vain! Even the enemy's counterattack just now was still very lethal, which shows that our marksmanship is not enough! If the special service brigade of the headquarters opened fire, this would never be the case!" said the 3rd Battalion Commander.

"Do you see? This little devil is like this, one shot and he's gone!" This is what veterans who have just put down their semi-automatics are educating the new recruits.

A brief artillery battle was followed by a brief offensive and defensive battle. The Japanese and the Eighth Route Army had two different results and two different attitudes.

"Captain, the Watanabe Brigade just sent a telegram asking how our attack is going?" At this time, Fujii received a battle report from another group of Japanese.

"Tell them that our unit has been blocked by a regiment from the Eighth Route Army and is attacking the enemy in front. Let Watanabe inform them of their situation?" Fujii said.

"The Eighth Route Army of a regiment?" In a certain section of the valley of another tributary of the Shah River, Captain Watanabe looked at the 20 or so Japanese soldiers left in a defeated squadron, and he was somewhat confused about the situation.

"Send a report to Fujii and say that opposite us, there are two regiments of the Eighth Route Army occupying the high ground on both sides of the valley. There is an artillery battalion of heavy artillery. Our attack has failed. I hope Fujii-kun will make a breakthrough as soon as possible!"

On Watanabe's side, all the puppet troops have been lost, and the Japanese soldiers have also lost more than 200, and they only encountered the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment. As for there being two regiments? As long as the commander below is not stupid,

Everyone knows what to say so as to bear the minimum punishment.

"Two regiments?" Fujii glanced at the hill position in front of him. The length was just right for one company, but more than one company couldn't be moved. After thinking about it, he said to the communications soldier: "

Order, Yamaguchi, to take his squadron to urge the Imperial Army to launch a formal attack on the front positions! Order, Umezu Squadron, to find a route and detour to the rear of the Eighth Route Army to launch an attack."

The Japs' tactics were still stiff and unchanging, one move worse than Lao Cheng's three-axe.

On the 8th company position, seeing more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops launching an attack, the 8th company commander's brows relaxed. Well, these troops are very good, are they worth getting closer to fight?

Already.

"I'm asking for death..." The Japanese commander waved his sword and pointed it directly at the 8th company's position.

"Brothers, come on..." The commander of the Imperial Alliance Army, holding a box cannon, urged the puppet soldiers to stand in front.

"Get ready..." In the trenches on the mountain, the platoon leaders of each squad shouted orders to the soldiers of the shotgun crew.

"Yes, Commander, we have fought against the Japs here... The Japs are very weak, too weak, far worse than the Japs we encountered before..." The 3rd Battalion Commander was on the phone to the regiment headquarters.

Already.

"Well, the situation is the same over at the 1st Battalion. I have ordered the 2nd Battalion and the 4th Battalion to circle behind the Japanese opposite you. So, you see the right opportunity, lead the team to fight out, and let's annihilate one of them
