Chapter 449 A Small Opening
At the Zhengding stronghold, after hearing the sound of gunfire, Captain Sakahara immediately led the remaining Japanese soldiers in the entire squadron to reinforce. They quickly reached the first line of defense of the outer fortifications through the fortifications built in advance.
At this time, the soldiers of the third battalion had already begun to clean up the battlefield. With the special forces sniper arranged by Wu Mazi, the Japanese machine guns could not be fired no matter how strong the fortifications of the main gun tower were. After a while, under the ruthless bombardment of explosive packs and grenades, all the Japanese and puppet troops inside were cleared out.
Sakahara had no time to rescue people, and all his subordinates and the Imperial Army were killed, which made him angry and curse loudly.
An Yi, who had been at ease for so long, suddenly suffered a blow. In less than ten minutes, their turtle shell was broken, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Wen Jiayi simply cleaned up the battlefield and then led the soldiers through the blockade.
Da da da!
Da da da!
The five soldiers who rushed to the front fell in a pool of blood. The soldiers of the third battalion were suppressed by the Japanese machine guns and could not raise their heads.
The best weapon to deal with the Japanese in the civil engineering works is naturally the rocket launcher.
When Wen Jiayi saw that the soldiers in front were suppressed, he immediately ordered the artillery crew to support the front row.
After receiving the order from the battalion commander, the artillery crews of the Third Battalion quickly adjusted their angles. The Japanese's light and heavy firepower had already become apparent, giving them a good opportunity.
whoosh…
Boom boom boom......
A violent explosion caused the Japanese soldiers on the position to bleed from all seven orifices, and many unfortunate Japanese soldiers had their internal organs shattered.
The effective range of the 107 single-barrel rocket launcher is 1500 meters. At this moment, the two sides are only meters apart, and it is completely crushing to deal with the heavy firepower of the Japanese.
whoosh…
Boom boom boom......
The artillery crew did not relax their vigilance after firing a round of artillery fire. Another round of artillery fire covered the Japanese soldiers, who were stunned. The squadron leader Sakahara's eyes were almost bloodshot at this time.
After two rounds of bombardment, nearly half of his squadron were killed or wounded. He knew that if the fighting continued, all of them would be destroyed.
Without much thought, Major Sakahara immediately ordered his soldiers to move forward and break out.
It was too late to request support. Given the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, his squadron was simply unable to hold on.
But he wanted to run, and how could Wen Jiayi be willing to let him go? After two rounds of artillery fire, the first company of the third battalion rushed into the Japanese position again.
By this time, there were wailing sounds on the Japanese positions, and there were large numbers of blind people and those with broken limbs.
Da da da!
The ruthless bullets sent these howling devils back home. The remaining devils were still resisting stubbornly. The soldiers fulfilled their wishes without hesitation and gave them the opportunity to meet Aunt Amaterasu!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sakahara ran away, leaving only a small group of Japanese soldiers and seventy or eighty puppet soldiers who had just arrived. The rest were all left behind by the soldiers of the third battalion.
It’s not that he didn’t want to retreat with most people, it’s just too late.
The Third Battalion quickly occupied the entire Zhengding. Wen Jiayi shouted the order: "Company One, clean up the battlefield, Company Two, blow up the railway, Company Three, stand guard. Remember to blow up the railway tracks before the Japs return!"
In order to facilitate the blasting of the railroad tracks, Wu Mazi took out dozens of explosive packs in stock and handed them over to the Third Battalion, which would come in handy now.
As Wen Jiayi's orders were issued, each company moved quickly. The company commander looked at his soldiers and ordered, "Old soldiers, take the new recruits with you. Shoot all the Japanese who are still alive. Hurry up!"
Adhering to the consistent style of the Independent Brigade, a dead devil is a good devil, so his order is to leave no one alive.
Xia Ji, a soldier from the third squad of the second platoon, began to clean up the battlefield under the leadership of the squad leader. He followed behind the squad leader with a Type 38 rifle in his hand, and from time to time he used his bayonet to pick off the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.
He was a new recruit who had just joined the Third Regiment for a month. He had received such a task after just a brief training. To be honest, his stomach was churning.
The tragic sight of the dead Japanese soldiers on the battlefield made him feel very uncomfortable. He didn't feel anything when he was fighting with his squad leader just now. But now, seeing so many Japanese corpses up close, he was able to hold back and not vomit on the spot, which was already very good.
Suppressing the discomfort in his stomach, he picked up a brand new Type 38 rifle from beside the Japanese soldier's body, then took off the magazine and helmet. When he was about to strip the Japanese soldier's uniform, the Japanese soldier's fingers suddenly moved slightly.
Xia Ji was so frightened that he jumped back reflexively. Just as he was about to shoot, the squad leader next to him took action and stabbed the Japanese soldier with his bayonet. The Japanese soldier sat up in pain.
"Bagaya road!"
"Squad leader, there's a living devil here!"
The two shouts startled the squad leader of the third squad. He angrily pulled out his bayonet and stabbed it into the devil's heart before turning to Xia Ji and saying, "Why are you yelling, kid? Why don't you just turn this living devil into a dead devil?"
With these veterans around, it was impossible for the Japanese to pull the grenade. They were watching them all the time. If the distance had not been close, his bullets would have hit him without any need for bayonets.
In fact, in addition to training new recruits with battlefield experience, handling the aftermath is also one of the parts.
You have to know that the Japanese will not be polite to you. There are many cases where they pretend to be dead and wait for you to come over and then die with you. This shows how cruel the Japanese are.
The third squad leader thought for a moment, stared at Xia Ji and said, "If you still want to fight the Japanese, remember to finish off the Japanese before stripping their uniforms. If you see them from a distance, just shoot them. Don't save ammunition. Only if you're alive can you continue to fight the Japanese. If you die, you'll be a martyr. You can't fight the Japanese anymore."
Xia Ji listened to the squad leader's words very carefully, then nodded heavily. He had a good adaptability on the battlefield, and after what just happened, his stomach felt much better.
As soon as the third squad leader finished speaking, the unique roar of the Japanese armored vehicles reached the ears of the soldiers.
Wen Jiayi decisively ordered: "Everyone hide and wait for the Second Company to blow up the Japanese Iron Turtle!"
boom!
Before the soldiers had time to react, a 75mm artillery shell flew straight towards the position.
Da da da!
boom!
The Japanese armored vehicles were very arrogant and did not take the Third Battalion seriously at all. The Empire's squadron was crippled by the enemy. With the Japanese's revengeful mentality, how could they not seek revenge?
Rumble!
Another shell was fired, and one unlucky soldier after another was killed. However, the Japanese's arrogance ended there. They were so eager to take revenge that they didn't notice the abnormality under the railway tracks.
Boom boom boom!
The blasting team pressed the detonator, and more than 20 explosive packs were incredibly powerful, and the arrogant Japanese armored vehicle was successfully overturned to the ground.
Wen Jiayi was still generous. You know, the independent brigade's explosive packs were imitations of the high explosives exchanged by Gu Changfeng. Their power was not much worse than that of large-caliber grenades. More than 20 of them were enough to shatter the Japanese in the armored vehicles into pieces.
The crisis was resolved, and the remaining time was naturally fruitful. After the battlefield was cleaned up, Wen Jiayi began to order the soldiers to pull up the railroad tracks, and everything that could be moved was moved away.
In the battle outside Zhengding, Wu Mazi dispatched the three battalion and five snipers from the special forces.
We wiped out over 130 Japanese soldiers and over 100 puppet troops, blew up one Japanese armored vehicle, and seized over ten light and heavy machine guns and over 100 rifles.
It was a good start, and Wu Mazi didn't even take this little bit of supplies seriously.
