Chapter 62 General Attack!
Lijiapo fell silent again.
Yamazaki understood that the Eighth Route Army's final attack was about to begin, and ordered the soldiers to prepare.
But after waiting for a few minutes, the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops were not seen.
He was wondering in his heart when a round-shaped object fell into the ring fortification.
Soon, Yamazaki recognized it. It was this thing that took away the lives of more than twenty imperial soldiers.
A large round explosive bag, the fuse is about to burn to the end.
"hidden!"
Yamazaki's expression changed drastically and he roared, and he dodged around the corner of the trench bunker with great agility.
Boom——
The explosive package exploded next to the three Imperial soldiers who had no time to escape. The shock wave directly threw them out of the trench, and their broken limbs and arms rained down with blood.
The imperial soldiers who were nearby were shocked to the point of bleeding to death.
Yamazaki, who ran to the corner, was also shocked and fainted.
Yamasaki and the soldiers patted the soil on their bodies, and suddenly felt something under their feet.
When I looked at the ground, I saw that the ground was full of smoking grenades with wooden handles.
Looking up again, densely packed grenades were whizzing towards me, like a flock of sparrows flying across the sky.
"Captain, be careful!"
A soldier pounced on Yamazaki and pinned him down like a vicious dog.
In an instant, the grenade exploded in the Japanese fortifications, and the short and continuous explosion was deafening.
The flying shrapnel killed the Japanese soldiers with the smell of death.
The panicked Japanese soldiers could not find a safe bunker at all. Many soldiers were hit by several grenades at the same time, and their bodies were blown up in different places.
When 3,000 grenades were thrown onto the narrow Lijia Slope at the same time, the lethality produced was undoubtedly terrifying.
The entire Yamazaki brigade was stunned by the sudden flying mines and grenades.
If you are poor, you can use tactics to intersperse, if you are rich, you can cover it with firepower.
The defensive position that Yamazaki was proud of was blown into a burning inferno.
The explosion lasted for two to three minutes and then stopped.
Before the soldiers of Yamazaki Battalion could react, they heard a wave of charging shouts.
Pushing away the imperial soldier who died for him, Yamazaki had no time to grieve and shouted with his command knife: "Baga! Attack! Attack!"
The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive lay down in the trenches and shot at the oncoming Eighth Route Army troops.
Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's firepower was quite fierce. Ten submachine guns and more than 20 stationary light machine guns opened fire simultaneously during the sprint.
More than thirty tongues of flame formed a dense firepower network, and the Japanese fortifications were hit by the dense rain of bullets, causing smoke to rise everywhere.
A dozen Japanese soldiers who had just fired one or two shots were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
Finally, the Japanese light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns rang out, and the twenty-odd soldiers in the first battalion of the assault fell instantly.
Taking advantage of this moment, the remaining Japanese soldiers finally reacted.
They all screamed and counterattacked, but they showed no fear on their faces.
Some Japanese soldiers even screamed, jumped out of the fortifications with bayonets in hand, and charged back against the hail of bullets, trying to use their momentum to push back the oncoming troops.
But it was instantly beaten into a honeycomb shape.
More than a thousand members of the Independent Regiment, led by Li Yunlong who wielded a ghost-headed sword, let out overwhelming shouts of killing.
More than a thousand bright bayonets flashed with a dazzling cold light in the sun.
The last group to rush to the high ground were the cooks and grooms holding kitchen knives and guillotines, and the 1,200th Independent Regiment. Everyone participated in the attack.
The two sides totaled nearly 2,000 people, and they started hand-to-hand combat on Lijiapo, a small highland.
…
Wei Dayong was holding a cold-weapon spear, and more than a hundred soldiers from the special operations company followed closely behind him and rushed upward.
Before launching the charge, he told the soldiers that the special operations company must be the first to charge into the Japanese positions.
As soon as the charge began, in addition to the first battalion of commandos, Wei Dayong's special operations company rushed to the front.
"Cavalry company, attack!"
In the other direction, after all the troops in the front rushed forward, a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, all holding sabers in hand, rushed upwards under the leadership of Sun Desheng.
The cavalry company quickly surpassed the charging troops. Li Yunlong was so angry that he yelled: "You bitch Sun Desheng, why are you charging so fast?"
Sun Desheng pretended not to hear and shouted as he ran: "Cavalry company, attack!"
Soon, the cavalry company rushed to join the special operations company, and Sun Desheng glanced at Wei Dayong with a provocative look.
An expression that says I am the best in the world.
Of course Wei Dayong would not show weakness and immediately shouted: "Special battle company, charge for me!"
Wei Dayong exerted force under his feet, and he flew out like a rocket, heading straight for the Japanese machine gun position.
Sun Desheng's cavalry even wanted to be the first to rush to the Japanese position, but they also wanted to ask Wei Dayong if I would agree!
"Monk Wei, you are a fucking animal, right?"
Wei Dayong's sudden acceleration made Sun Desheng look stunned, and he immediately shouted rudely: "Come on, don't let the special operations company underestimate our cavalry company!"
"kill!"
The charge speed of the cavalry company increased a bit.
150 meters away, Zhao Gang, leading the second echelon, has entered the charging position.
He knelt on one knee, holding a 38-cap rifle in his hand, pulled the bolt to load the bullet, and then put the 38-cap rifle on his shoulder.
Open the sight on the 38 cover and point the muzzle in the direction of the Japanese position.
Bah!
With the sound of a gunshot, a Type 92 heavy machine gun of the Japanese army went silent instantly, and the bullet penetrated the machine gunner's head.
After shooting one shot, Zhao Gang did not fire again, but put away the 38-meter cover.
Because the special battle company and the cavalry company had already rushed to the Japanese position.
Wei Dayong and Sun Desheng were the first to leap into the Japanese fortifications at almost the same time, followed by soldiers from the special operations company and the cavalry company respectively.
Leaping into the Japanese fortifications, Wei Dayong's gun tip trembled like lightning, stabbing the Japanese machine gunner to the core.
When Sun Desheng saw Wei Dayong killing a Japanese soldier with one move, he showed no sign of weakness and faced the Japanese soldier with a bayonet.
When the Japanese saw that his opponent was holding a saber, he stepped forward with a lunge and thrust the bayonet into his abdomen.
He stabbed the Japanese with all his strength. Sun Desheng's steps flashed and he slashed the Japanese's throat with his backhand knife.
Then he looked at Wei Dayong provocatively.
That expression seemed to say, you, Monk Wei, are awesome, and I, Sun Desheng, are no coward either.
As for Wei Dayong, the Japanese were shocked when they saw Wei Dayong's skills.
The five Japanese soldiers winked, holding Sanba Daigai in their hands, with bright bayonets stuck in the end of their guns, and surrounded him.
Wang Xikui and others were fighting with the Japanese not far away and were about to come over to help.
Wei Dayong shouted: "Get out of my way!"
