After all, the Japanese troops were outnumbered, and there were eleven light machine guns firing forward. The position on the west bank of the Jiacha River was violently attacked by the enemy. With three dead and two injured, the grenade launcher had to lie down and take cover.
Shanzi rushed to the west bank position and found that the Japanese troops were approaching the Jiacha River less than thirty meters away. The enemy and we were in a state of intense fighting.
Because the distance was too close and exceeded the minimum strike range of the grenade, in desperation, all grenade launchers switched to shooting with rifles.
After lying down on the right shoulder of Battalion Commander Song, Shan Zi quietly observed the enemy's situation and instructed Battalion Commander Song to take command and lead the grenade launchers to set up a formation 150 meters behind, with the target in the center of the Cha River, and the impact range of the bombs did not exceed ten meters in front and back.
Battalion Commander Song said: "Commander Wang, this is in the jungle. Let alone retreating 150 meters, even if it is 15 meters, we cannot determine the target."
Shanzi suddenly turned his head: "Xiao Liu, how tall are you?"
Xiao Liu stopped shooting: "Report to the battalion commander, I'm only 1.7 meters tall."
Shanzi said: "Climb westward from my heels and measure one hundred and fifty meters with your body."
Xiao Liu agreed and rolled to Shanzi's heels.
Battalion Commander Song suddenly said: "Commander, can you guarantee that the Japanese will cross the river?"
Shanzi only answered in three words: "No problem."
After some visual inspection, Battalion Commander Song told Shanzi that the distance from the center of the Jiacha River to the heel was about 13 meters, plus 150 meters behind, for a total of 163 meters.
Shanzi then explained that after the grenade launch preparations were completed, Xiao Liu came quickly to report that each round of firing would be preceded by two gunshots. If you hear three gunshots, please return.
After listening to Shanzi's instructions, Battalion Commander Song turned around and crawled towards the machine gun row.
Suppressed by our intensive firepower, Tomita Ryohei ordered his troops to stop advancing and lay down to fight back. The cross-strait fighting entered a stalemate stage.
Zhu Zihui began to wonder, after all, the Independent Regiment was in concealed defense and had a very low chance of being hit. If the Japanese and puppet troops launched an attack, they would be completely exposed to the opponent's guns and would be like a living target.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zihui said: "Captain Tomita, the Imperial Japanese Army has always been brave and good at fighting, and the security team is not a vegetarian, but today's battle was really cowardly, and Tubal Road will definitely scold him."
Unable to withstand Zhu Zihui's provocation, Tomita Ryohei fell to the ground, drew his sword, and issued an attack order in Japanese.
Under the coercion of Tomita Ryohei and Zhu Zihui, the Japanese and puppet troops launched a new round of offensive. Every time they took a step forward, there were a large number of casualties.
At this moment, the fourth company commander of the security regiment ran back out of breath: "Report to Captain Tomita, report to Deputy Commander Zhu, the firepower on Tubal Road is too fierce, the brothers have suffered serious casualties, and we cannot continue the attack."
Seeing the bloody corpses, Tomita Ryohei began to hesitate.
However, Zhu Zihui had long hated the fourth company commander named Huo——
This idiot used the power of the security group to win over a group of cronies in private. He often went to the countryside to rob homes and kill people. He raped dozens of women from good families and beat five civilians to death.
At this moment, Zhu Zihui suddenly raised his gun and put the muzzle of the gun to the forehead of the fourth company commander: "Huo, you fucking disobeyed orders and disrupted the morale of the army. This is disloyal to the imperial army. I will spare your life."
What’s the use?”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crash, and Captain Huo's gun flew out and he fell down in the grass.
Tomita Ryohei was extremely grateful and patted Zhu Zihui on the shoulder three times.

Regardless of the life and death of the soldiers and minions, Tomita Ryohei forced the troops to advance to the east bank of the Jiacha River.
While the fight was in full swing, Xiao Liu returned to Shan Zi and reported that the grenade was ready.
Shanzi communicated orders to each other through the soldiers, and the machine gunners continued to shoot. Everyone else retreated fifty meters. When they heard three gunshots, they immediately returned to their positions.
After firing the bullets out of the gun, Shanzi realized that Xiao Liu had not moved where he was.
While changing the magazine, Shan Zi said: "Xiao Liu, you are not a machine gunner, and you are also on the evacuation list."
Xiao Liu said: "I am a security guard and cannot withdraw."
Shanzi was impatient: "You can withdraw if I ask you to."
Xiao Liu shot frequently and deliberately ignored Shan Zi.
Shanzi fired several shots and then said, "Pagua, I'm ordering you to retreat quickly."
Instead of retreating, Xiao Liu accelerated his shooting speed.
Shanzi became angry, Leng Buding swung his right leg and kicked Xiao Liu hard: "I'm telling you, little papaya, if you don't evacuate quickly, don't blame the stubborn person for taking your life. Follow my order."
Xiao Liu did not dare to further anger Shanzi, so he rolled on the spot and disappeared into the bushes.
After the first group retreated, Shanzi ordered the machine gunners to evacuate the position again. At the same time, Shanzi rolled several meters to the left and lay prone alone at the forefront of the position.
Through the gap between the bushes, Shanzi's eyes were fixed on the enemy group on the other side.
Upon hearing that all the gunfire on the west bank of the river had ceased, Tomita Ryohei confirmed that Tubal Road had fled, so he pointed his command knife at the opposite bank and ordered the troops to pursue them with all their strength.
In just a few dozen seconds, the Japanese and puppet troops jumped into the river one by one like glutinous rice balls, wading through waist-deep water and struggling to move to the other side.
As the Japanese and puppet troops approached the other side, Shanzi fired two shots, causing the two machine gunners to sink to the bottom of the river.
The Japs in the river had just turned their guns, and the first batch of grenades lined up in a row, booming and exploding from the river water.
At first glance, the huge waves rising in the river have the potential to reach the sky and the earth, which is thrilling.
Shanzi took the opportunity to roll southward and returned to his original position.
Leng Buding encountered a grenade bombardment, and the enemy turned around and fled. After taking a few steps, Shanzi fired two more shots, and a second wave of grenades flew in.
After several rounds of shelling, the Japanese and puppet troops in the river were scattered and sparse, and the clear river water had turned bright red.
What made Tomita Ryohei even more heartbroken was that nine light machine guns sank to the bottom of the river together with the machine gunners. For Shanzi, this was one of the reasons for the shelling of the Jiacha River.
The second reason is that enemies in deep water have difficulty moving and have no place to hide. Every time a grenade hits, the kill rate increases several times or even ten times.
Tomita Ryohei finally realized that if he continued to cross the river, he would face the destruction of his entire army.
Thinking of this, Tomita Ryohei ordered his troops to retreat urgently and concentrate on attacking the eastern front positions.
As soon as he saw the enemy turning around and fleeing, Shanzi pointed his gun at the east bank again. After firing three shots, the three Japanese who were running hastily fell to the ground one after another.
After hearing three gunshots, all combat units returned to their positions one after another.
In order to facilitate the listening of orders, Battalion Commander Song and Company Commander Gao lay down beside Shan Zi's right shoulder.
Battalion Commander Song asked: "Commander Wang, what's the next step?"
Yamako showed no reaction, staring closely at the announcer behind Tomita Ryohei.
Company Commander Gao then said: "Commander, Xiaolong is fighting fiercely over there, please give the order quickly."
Only then did Shanzi look away: "Captain Gao, take the original team across the river again from the north, penetrate behind the Japanese troops on the east road, and light a fire in their butts."
Captain Gao was about to get up when he heard Shan Zi say again: "Please remember, it doesn't matter if you run away with a few Japs, but you must keep the Japs' walkie-talkies."
After listening to Shan Zi's instructions, Captain Gao slapped his chest and replied: "Commander, please rest assured, I can eat this small cold dish in one bite."
After giving orders to Captain Gao, Shan Zi turned his attention to Song Yijie: "Captain Song, our group of people secretly went south along the river bank, returned to Wuming Mountain, and charged with Xiaohu and others."
Battalion Commander Song agreed and immediately gathered his team after standing up.

Tomita Ryohei was unscrupulous and commanded the remaining troops to attack the Second Battalion's position.
On that day, the puppet troops crossed the middle of the col. Xiaohu, who was staying at Wuming Mountain, gave an order and suddenly attacked with four light machine guns and dozens of rifles, killing and wounding more than a dozen Japanese puppet troops.
Tomita Ryohei knew that the enemy was hidden on the turtle-shaped ridge, which created a blind spot for the opponent to shoot. If he fought back in the depression, any gunfire would be ineffective.
Without thinking much, Tomita Ryohei raised his hand and ordered the troops to move north quickly.
Through the gap between the trees, Xiaohu clearly saw that a fierce battle was going on in the Second Battalion's position, so he was so anxious that he even accused Shanzi of not saving him in front of the soldiers.
Just as he was getting anxious, Shan Zi hurried over, his wet pants still dripping with water.
Xiaohu got excited and stepped forward to meet him: "Captain, is it Xiaohu's turn to go down the mountain this time?"
Shanzi took off the kettle from his waist, sat down on the ground and took a gulp of water.
Xiaohu was impatient: "Captain, please speak quickly."
Shanzi said: "I'll give you a light machine gun later. I'll give you a light machine gun specially designed to shoot down Tomita Ryohei's radio operator. As long as I get the radio, I'll give you a celebration banquet."
After hearing Shanzi's promise, Xiaohu slapped his head: "Communicator, get the machine gun quickly."
Shan Zi scolded: "Hurry up and wait for Captain Gao to set up a position from the opposite side, and we will charge together."
Xiaohu scratched his scalp a few times, then turned around and stared at the Second Battalion's position——
Compared with Tomita Ryohei, Okamoto Kazuya's fighting style was very calm. During the half-hour battle, he never made a bold attack. He only lay down and shot like a tortoise, crawled and crawled, and gradually advanced.
Okamoto's turtle tactic hit Xiaolong's weak spot, and was as unbearable as a fish grilled over a slow fire. If Yumei hadn't forcibly prohibited it, Xiaolong would have already rushed out of the position and fought the enemy to the death.
At this time, Tomita Ryohei's team had fled to the northern section of the col and launched an attack on the second battalion from a diagonal distance.
Facing an enemy that was four times my size, Xiaolong ordered a platoon at the end position on the west side to use two light machine guns to specifically attack Tomita Ryohei's team.
Due to the scattered firepower, the containment ability of the Second Battalion's position became weaker and weaker, and the enemy's strike capability became stronger. The soldiers gritted their teeth and fought bravely at the risk of sacrifice at any time.
It was originally thought that after the enemy on the west route was defeated, Shanzi would quickly launch a major counterattack, but a few minutes passed and no one was seen. Xiaolong asked angrily: "Political Commissar Jiang, what is the regiment leader doing?"
Yumei said: "Xiaolong, you must stay calm and believe that the leader has his own plan."
Xiaolong said: "It's not that I can't calm down, it's that time waits for no one."
While speaking, Okamoto Kazuya, under the influence of Tomita Ryohei, ordered all the troops to stand up and cooperate with the West Route troops to launch a strong attack.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield at this time, it looks like the wind is surging and the waves are surging into the sky.
Suddenly, a string of machine gun bullets came from east to west, passing close to the heads of Xiaolong and Yumei. Although Xiaolong and Yumei survived, the third soldier on the left was shot in the brain and died instantly.
One machine gunner was injured in his right arm and lost the ability to fight.
When Xiaolong saw this, his heart was filled with anger again. He planned to rush out of the pit, take over the wounded soldier's light machine gun and fight the enemy. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took off, Yumei pounced on him with force.
