I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 193 The 8th Route Army's Machine Guns Are Too Bullying

As the Japanese sandbag fortifications collapsed, the four machine guns had used up one magazine and one drum.

Looking at the Japanese fortifications that had already been broken down, Song Wenwan gave another order.

"Replace the machine guns with high-explosive shells and fire another round. All light and heavy machine guns, now aim at the Japanese in front and fire freely."

The Japanese regiment commander watched as the foolproof circular position he had arranged was destroyed by the Eighth Route Army.

Then he looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers, who were leisurely adjusting their machine guns.

Gradually, the muzzles of the Eighth Route Army's machine guns were aimed at the Japanese's second circular fortification.

The Japanese finally recovered from their initial confused state.

The two surviving Japanese positions finally confronted the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese devils who could bully the Anti-Japanese United Army at will in the past finally hit a wall today.

The Japanese really couldn't understand. Shouldn't they be what the military called the Eighth Route Army who were short of guns and ammunition?

How come they have so many mortars and their range is longer than that of the Imperial Army?

Now the brave warriors of the Imperial Army were completely unable to fight back after being beaten.

The Eighth Route Army also had light and heavy machine guns, which were much more than those of the Imperial Army.

As soon as their light and heavy machine guns opened fire, they were hit head-on by the Eighth Route Army and retreated.

The most hateful thing is that the Eighth Route Army’s four machine guns are too bullying.

From left to right, they meticulously razed the Imperial Army's fortifications to the ground, revealing the Japanese soldiers behind them.

The Japanese were stunned by what they saw. It turned out that the brave warriors of the Imperial Army could also be afraid.

The Chinese, whom they look down upon, will also be slaughtered like little chicks.

The commander of the Japanese army knew that he could not hold on any longer, so he made a decision helplessly.

He called the captain of the first brigade over.

"Takeshita-kun, please lead your troops and break out to the east now."

Lieutenant Colonel Takeshita immediately became anxious, and he shouted, "Sir, even if we want to break out, you have to let me cover our retreat.

Your Excellency, the empire still needs you, so leave this to me."

Captain Takeshita is still very loyal to his regiment commander.

The Japanese brigade commander looked at Captain Takeshita with great gratitude.

He said to him, "Takeshita-kun, listen to me, even if I go back, the division commander will not let me go.

You can take your battalion and go directly back to Taiyuan without joining up with the division commander.

As long as we can find a way to contact the Taiyuan First Army, we should immediately report today's events to them.

The current Eighth Route Army is very powerful. Their weapons are advanced and sufficient, and their tactics are so cunning that people are at a loss as to what to do.

In particular, their material transportation actually adopted the advanced airdrop method.

We must make the military aware of this change and turn our target of attack to the Eighth Route Army.

You must let every one of your subordinates know about this matter.

As long as one person can escape and report this, our empire will not fail."

Captain Takeshita, following the instructions of his regiment commander, was ready to break out to the rear.

At this time, Song Wenwan and his men had already destroyed two circular positions of the Japanese army.

Now they have begun to replace the barrels of the four machine guns.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Japanese regiment commander led a squadron of Japanese troops and launched a long live charge against the Eighth Route Army.

Captain Takeshita led the remaining soldiers and rushed in the opposite direction without saying a word.

The barrel of the machine gun in Song Wenwan's hand has been replaced first.

Then everyone saw this scene, Song Wenwan only used one person and one gun.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed out actively were beaten into a sky full of blood mist and... fragments.

Soon after, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu joined in.

While fighting the Japanese, Li Yunlong was thinking that Commander Song was right.

It is really useful to use the machine gun to shoot the Japanese at a horizontal position, and it is really... so cool!

The squadron led by the Japanese regiment commander was wiped out by the Eighth Route Army before they could even hold out for five minutes.

The sniper position that the Japanese army took a fancy to is quite exquisite.

Behind their position there was a ravine blocked by bushes.

Looking from the direction where the Eighth Route Army came from, it would be difficult to be discovered.

As long as they got into that ravine, they would be able to escape by following the direction of the ravine.

They slipped into a ravine that was more than ten feet deep, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Kumataro Takeshita remembered the instructions given by the corps commander and felt extremely uneasy.

He suddenly pulled his younger brother, Takeshita Kumajiro, from the team.

"Jiro, did you remember everything the wing commander told you to remember?"

Xiong Jiro said, "Captain, I have written it all down."

Captain Takeshita looked at Kumajiro with satisfaction and gave him serious instructions.

"Jiro, don't follow us, go to the other side of the ditch.

If we pledge our loyalty to the Emperor, you must bring this information back to the First Army's headquarters."

Kumajiro Takeshita immediately understood something and bowed to his brother.

Taking the Type 14 Nambu pistol from his brother's waist, Kumajiro bent down and ran in the opposite direction.

Japanese Captain Takeshita, holding his brother's Type 38 rifle, commanded the Japanese troops to continue fleeing along the deep ditch.

As they ran, Captain Takeshita finally realized something was wrong. He raised his hand and asked the Japanese army to stop advancing.

A Japanese squadron leader who was walking in front looked forward in the direction Takeshita's finger pointed and indeed discovered the problem.

Because the Japanese army was coming here to raid the area, no one had lived nearby for a long time.

So this place should be a deep ditch that no one cares about.

But what about those fresh footprints on the ground?

Also, on both sides of this deep ravine, there were fresh traces of someone having clearly climbed up.

Captain Takeshita gritted his teeth hard so that his brother could pass on the information.

It was also to allow his younger brother, Kumajiro, to escape safely.

Takeshita decided that he would expose himself so that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to react and go after his brother.

He led the Japanese army madly and rushed forward first.

They had just rushed out a distance of more than fifty meters when Captain Takeshita felt as if he had kicked something under his feet.

Two seconds later, the entire bottom of the ditch was boiling.

There were Broadsword mines placed crosswise on both sides of the ditch every twenty meters, just encircling the Japanese brigade.

When the smoke from the mine explosion cleared, there were no Japanese soldiers left standing at the bottom of the deep ditch.

They were either lying or crouching, and without exception, each of the Japanese soldiers had three or four bloody holes on their bodies.

When Captain Takeshita was dying, he vaguely saw many people sliding down from both sides of the deep ditch.

Captain Takeshita's vision went dark due to excessive bleeding.

I heard someone say, "OK, Lao Fang, you're right. The Japanese really took this secret ditch."

Then another person spoke up: "Captain Zhong, how do you usually deal with so many injured Japanese soldiers?"

Another person said: "You know we are the Eighth Route Army, we have discipline, now we should go... rescue them!"

After three seconds of silence, the man surnamed Fang suddenly gave an order loudly.
