Seeing that the Eighth Route Army had light machine guns mounted by several commanding heights around, and attacking the attacking troops from a high point, the Japanese squadron leader immediately thought of the grenade launcher: "Shoot the grenade launcher immediately, knock down the machine gun fire point arranged by the Eighth Route Army on the high ground!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The Japanese army is worthy of being the ancestor of grenade launchers. Six grenade launchers knocked out two single light machine guns in one volley.

The company commander's eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted with a heartache: "Grouter squad shoots immediately and kill the Japanese grenade troop for me."

After temporary strengthening, the company commander had a total of six grenade launchers, as many as the Japanese.

But the shooting skills of the grenade turrets are more than a little worse than those of the Japanese.

If you want to kill the Japanese grenade trolleys, you can only take the initiative and catch them off guard.

When the second round of grenades fired by the Japanese hit the ground and exploded, six grenade launchers equipped with a single regiment fired.

Six grenades flew silently to the Japanese attacking position. It was not until the explosion sounded that the Japanese army realized that they were attacked by grenade launchers, and two grenades just hit their grenade launchers.

Six grenade launchers were blown up on the spot and fell to the ground and there was no movement.

Two grenade launchers were injured by the bombing and were lying on the ground, squirming and screaming...

"Bageya Road! The Eighth Route Army also equipped grenade launchers. Our grenade launchers were targeted. We immediately switched to counterattack, kill them first, and then attacked their machine gun positions!" The squadron leader ordered with a calm face, realizing that this battle tonight was not as easy as he thought.

"Boom boom boom..."

The grenade launcher was launched very fast. As soon as the Japanese squadron leader gave the order, six grenades in the second round had already arrived...

Six balls of fireballs still soared into the air at the previous position, and four grenade launchers who were just about to transfer were blown over...

Without the threat of the Japanese grenade launcher, the only light machine gun mounted on the commanding heights is finally in danger and can fully harvest the lives of the Japanese offensive troops!

Seeing one subordinate after another being killed by the Eighth Route Army, the squadron leader's heart was bleeding and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The attacking troops were immediately withdrawn. Our grenade launchers suffered heavy casualties. Without the grenade launcher to suppress the Eighth Route Army's blocking firepower, it would be difficult for us to defeat them."

"When the captain arrives, he will attack. Let's focus on the Eighth Route Army on the position first, and don't let them run away!"

The Japanese army did not escape the company commander's eyes with every move. Seeing more than 600 Japanese soldiers coming over, they realized on the spot that they were no match for the Japanese: "The third row and I stayed behind the palace and covered the others' retreat!"

"Instructor, please take the others to retreat, and send someone to report to the political commissar. The Japanese army sent three infantry squadrons, one heavy machine gun squadron, one mortar squadron, and one infantry artillery squadron. Nearly 800 Japanese devils came to deal with us, and asked him to arrange the pocket array a little larger and prepare more heavy weapons. I will take the Japanese into the pocket array at all costs!"

When the Japanese army attacked the position, the captain who rushed over hurriedly felt that he had caught a big fish tonight after listening to the report from his subordinates.

The only regiment left behind the railway line had only one battalion, and they had to divide their troops to attack the other three brigades. If the Eighth Route Army standing in front of them had a reinforced company, then they would definitely be the main force of all the Eighth Route Army around the First Battalion. If they killed them, there would be no Eighth Route Army around them that could threaten their safety.

After thinking a little, the captain made a decision in his heart and stared at the single blocking position not far away and ordered: "Architecture Squadron, Heavy Machine Gun Squadron, and Second Infantry Squadron, be prepared for attack immediately."

"In two minutes, the artillery attacked for three minutes first, and used artillery shells to flatten the unique blocking position to kill them in large quantities. Then they had a heavy machine gun cover, infantry assault, and the battle ended within ten minutes."

"After the mission is completed, the offensive troops will take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Be sure to follow the defeated soldiers and find the lair of the only left-behind troops and destroy it!"

"Boom boom boom..."

The explosion soon rang out in a single blocking position, and the fireballs that soared into the air looked particularly dazzling under the night. The captain was far away from the bullet point, and he could still see clearly, and he could see the scene of the shell explosion.

The artillery fire came quickly and ended quickly in three minutes. The Japanese offensive troops soon appeared on the battlefield, with eight heavy machine guns behind the attacking troops, desperately shooting at the commanding heights on the blocking positions, attempting to use their firepower advantages to suppress the single regiment's blocking firepower...

But the picture that the captain imagined did not appear.

The attacking troops had already rushed to less than 60 meters in front of the formation. The faster Japanese army only needed one assault to enter the unique blocking position, but there was no gunshot from the blocking position, and there was no casualties in the attacking troops.

"No, the Eighth Route Army in front of us may have run away!" The captain made a bold judgment.

He held the command knife in one hand, clenched his fists in the other, and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send a signal to the offensive troops and let them speed up the attack. If the Eighth Route Army on the position really runs away, chase it immediately, don't wait for my order!"

"The artillery and heavy machine gun squadrons gathered immediately and be prepared to set off!"

The captain has a lot of combat experience, and he can tell something is wrong when he glances at the position.

The subsequent battle was exactly the same as his judgment. The attacking troops were like entering a no-man's land, without encountering any resistance, and easily occupied a unique blocking position. Except for a few explosions on the battlefield, the second squadron responsible for the main attack did not fire a single shot.

"Sir, we found a single retreating force three hundred meters behind the position. Judging from the number of torches, the other party had at least one reinforcement company. The squadron leader had already taken people to pursue him. Let me come and report it."

The captain was mentally prepared to retreat in advance by the Eighth Route Army. After listening to the report, he looked calm. He pulled out his command knife and pointed forward and began to give orders: "We also set out, bite behind the Second Squadron, and marched urgently to chase and kill the Eighth Route Army's defeated soldiers. Even if we chased to the ends of the world, we would destroy them tonight!"

In a ravine ten kilometers away, the political commissar had received the first news that the Japanese army had taken the initiative to counterattack.

Although the Japanese army temporarily dispatched only one infantry squadron, to be on the safe side, the political commissar still prepared the pocket formation according to half of the Japanese army.

Decisively transfer the first and two battalions lurking nearby to the battlefield...

As soon as the pockets were laid out, the second news from the front line arrived: the Japanese army not only dispatched three squadrons of infantry, but also sent heavy machine gun squadrons and mortar squadrons together, as if they were going to gather the remaining troops of the only regiment to annihilate.

The political commissar was very happy. In addition to one battalion that was left behind on the railway line, there were also three main battalions and one artillery battalion lurking around him."

The two newly formed battalions who are returning to the aid base can also turn around at any time and return to the railway line within seven hours to participate in the war.

With so many troops in his hand, he certainly hopes that the more troops the Japanese dispatched, the better.

If the main force of the Okamoto United brigade can be killed by ambush, the ambush can be completed and the troops can easily occupy the railway line defended by the First Battalion. Then, using this railway line as a breakthrough point, expand the results to both sides and continue to attack other Japanese and puppet troops...

Immediately, the Third Battalion and the Artillery Battalion were also transferred to the ambush battlefield, intending to use absolute military strength and firepower advantages to suppress the Japanese army, and defeat the main force of the Okamoto United's first brigade with lightning speed...

On the mountain road leading to the pocket array, more than 700 Japanese soldiers were clenched behind the company commander without letting go.

Before they knew it, the Japanese army had chased for nearly eight kilometers. All the Japanese, including the commander, began to breathe because of the continuous marching, and the terrain on both sides of the mountain road became more and more complicated.

Looking at the dark forest around, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron was afraid that several machine gun fires would suddenly appear inside, and he couldn't help but become alert.

In addition to being good at night wars and guerrilla warfare, the Eighth Route Army is also good at ambushing. The rugged terrain around it is, the more suitable it is for ambushing. If they use the terrain in front to attack themselves, the troops will definitely suffer heavy losses.

He was cautious while ordering the troops to slow down the pursuit and strengthen their vigilance, he went to the captain to report the matter: "Sir, the terrain around is getting more and more complicated, and I am worried that the Eighth Route Army will ambush us in front!"

"Impossible!" The captain was not worried about this problem at all. His head was like a rattle and rejected it on the spot.

The squadron leader did not give up his thoughts and continued, "I still think it is too dangerous for us to pursue this way. It is best to chase it slowly and send some warning troops to both sides of the mountain road..."

"Enough!" The leader's insistence made the captain very upset, and he interrupted without waiting for him to finish his words.

"The troops left behind in the railway line of the only regiment have at most one reinforcement battalion, and some troops will be divided into harasses the other three brigades. If we have a reinforcement company here, it will be too far."

"The troops that just blocked us happened to be a reinforced company. Even if the only regiment really wanted to ambush us, they would have no soldiers to do it!"

"Don't be so nervous. If the only regiment left behind the railway line has more than two main battalions, I will definitely do what you said."

"Now they only have one reinforcement camp, and it would be useless to have the terrain on both sides of the mountain road suitable for ambushing."

"Order the troops to pursue forward with confidence and courage, and don't be afraid. Chase the Eighth Route Army in front and kill them, and there will be no enemies around that can threaten our safety."

"As for the local troops and guerrillas that the Unique Regiment has transferred over the past two days, if they do not have the support of the main force, they will be a mess and vulnerable!"

After hearing this explanation, the squadron leader's concerns were relieved a lot, but he still felt something was wrong.

At this moment, a small team leader of the forward squadron suddenly ran over: "Sir, we found two light machine guns and two grenade launchers next to the mountain road, and they were hidden in the bushes on the side of the road, but there were no bullets or grenades!"

"The Eighth Route Army in front can't hold on anymore!" The captain laughed after hearing this.

He analyzed to the squadron leader who was still worried: "The Eighth Route Army lacks guns and bullets. In their eyes, weapons are more important than their own lives. He usually doesn't want to throw a rifle that has been smoothed, let alone a light machine gun."

"They must be unable to run anymore. In order to maintain the speed of the march and not be caught up by us, they have to give up some heavy weapons!"

"You go back to the army immediately and let everyone run faster. The Eighth Route Army is at a loss. In order to get rid of our pursuit, they will definitely throw away more equipment in the next march!"

The "good news" reported by the subordinates dispelled the last concern in the squadron leader's heart.

Returning to the forward squadron was like taking stimulants, constantly urging his subordinates to speed up the pursuit.

In less than ten minutes, he found the second batch of equipment that the only ball of thrown away: a light machine gun, a grenade launcher, and a box of hand grenades...

At this time, the squadron leader was more convinced of the captain's judgment and was more striving to pursue the Eighth Route Army than before, but he did not know that one of his feet had entered the only carefully prepared pocket formation.

The captain led more than 500 Japanese soldiers to tie the second squadron tightly behind the two troops, and the two troops were almost together.

The third squadron followed behind the second squadron, the artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron followed closely behind. The first squadron, the captain led the guard team and the heavy machine gun squadron to march together.

Because there was a second squadron leading the way, the Japanese behind were not vigilant at all. They carried the rifle on their backs, carried the machine gun on their shoulders, marched forward with their heads stuffed, and at a very fast speed.

The political commissar of the Unique Regiment lay on the commanding heights of the pocket formation, staring at the Japanese devils who were moving forward quickly in the ravine.

There are two heavy machine guns around, and their firepower can cover the entire ravine from a high place.

Behind him were eight infantry artillery and mountain cannons just transported from the artillery battalion, arranged in two rows, with the black holes pointing directly to the ravine.

No matter which direction the Japanese army broke through or occupied the high ground next to the ravine, they could not escape their direct aiming shooting.

Three main battalions were ambushed on both sides of the ravine, and the battalion's firepower company was scattered on the small high ground on both sides of the ravine, providing close-range fire cover for infantry...

Seeing the last torch enter the pocket array, the heavy machine gun squadron and the mortar squadron also entered the area where the light and heavy machine guns of the ambush troops were the most concentrated. The political commissar decisively ordered: "Start the attack..."

"Dadada..." Two heavy machine guns on their side fired first, and two flame tongues were spewed out of the black muzzle instantly. The bullets were like they didn't have money, and they flew to a place where the torches were concentrated in the ravine...

"Boom boom boom..." The eight infantry cannons and mountain cannons roared at the same time, and the shells roared out of the cannon barrels, flying towards the ravine with a harsh roar.

Eight groups of orange-red fireballs rose in the valley at the same time. From the perspective of the political commissar, the bounce points of the eight artillery shells were distributed in a straight line. Some artillery shells were hit in the middle of the mountain road, and some artillery shells were hit on both sides of the mountain road...

The Japanese were in a hurry to go on a road without being vigilant. The eight shells naturally caught them off guard...

"Boom boom boom..." Two or three seconds after seeing the fire, the violent explosion of the shells reached the political commissar's ears, becoming increasingly dense.

At this time, not only were eight mountain cannons and infantry cannons fired, but also twelve mortars equipped by three main battalions, thirty or forty grenade launchers, and dozens of ignition mines buried by the roadside in advance...

In the blink of an eye, there were more than 100 fireballs and the same amount of rolling smoke in the ravine that was less than a kilometer long...

The position of the first brigade, the squadron leader of the fourth brigade who stayed here was very aggrieved.

Everyone knows that there are not many Eighth Route Army along the railway, and whoever attacks will be able to win these few military achievements.

Unfortunately, I was so unlucky that I was actually arranged by the captain to stay behind. This means that the few military achievements along the railway will have nothing to do with me.

Although he was full of unwillingness, at this point, all he could do was wait and pray that one or two Eighth Route Army attack positions could emerge around him and let him get a bargain, otherwise he would definitely not be able to get any battle here.
