I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 175: The Destruction of the Matsushita Battalion (Continued)

Just as the bomb exploded, Song Wenwan and Wu Changfeng also began to act.

Together, they grabbed Fang Simon's arm and pulled him to squat in the shelter.

Just when Fang Simon was at a loss, a huge explosion was heard.

An inexplicable strong wind blew over Fang Simon and the others' heads.

They saw the sandbags on top of their shelter being blown to the hillside behind them by the shock wave of the explosion.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the 4th Regiment of the Imperial Army were going to "pursue" the retreating Eighth Route Army.

They were quite far away from here, so they escaped the disaster.

If they were in the trenches of the Eighth Route Army at this time, they would not know how to squat and hide.

I'm afraid that at least two to three hundred people were accidentally injured by the shock wave of the explosion.

Looking at Song Wenwan and Wu Changfeng again, they stood up immediately after the explosion ended.

The two of them picked up the submachine guns beside them and shouted "shoot".

The whole hillside seemed to come alive.

Countless light and heavy weapons were revealed and began to ruthlessly fire at the Japanese in the encirclement.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army and the Imperial Army were pretending to fight on the mountain.

They turned around together and joined the attack on the Japanese.

However, during the operation, many soldiers of the Imperial Army were a little confused.

The main reason was that the noise just now was a bit loud, and they looked back.

I saw that many camouflages on the heads of the Eighth Route Army soldiers were blown into the air by the shock wave of the explosion.

It was with the help of the Eighth Route Army that the Imperial Army came to its senses and followed the Eighth Route Army into the trenches.

Fang Ximen also took out a revolver, pointed it at the ground below, then put it away with a wry smile.

Why would they need his help? After these two waves of explosions, the Japanese had no ability to resist.

In fact, the effect of their first wave of broadsword mine attacks was not very good.

Due to the angle and terrain, this wave only killed or injured less than two hundred Japanese soldiers.

The key is the explosion of the second wave of explosives, which was too powerful.

The new regiment has just completed replenishment and has sufficient ammunition.

Especially now that they have no shortage of artillery, they even have several Type 92s.

Nowadays, when we attack enemy strongholds, we usually use mortars, and if they are stronger, we use Type 92 infantry artillery.

Soldiers no longer have to carry explosives to blow up the Japanese artillery towers.

So now they have accumulated a lot of explosives.

So... this time Wu Changfeng didn't think about saving the explosives he buried.

But the Japanese didn't know this, so after the first explosion, they lay down even more fiercely.

Many Japanese soldiers were killed by the shock waves from the explosive packs.

Just like Major Matsushita and his warhorse, before they landed.

He was shocked by the shock wave of the explosion and died with blood coming out of all his orifices.

Then the high and low firepower points on both sides of the hillside began to show their power again.

The Eighth Route Army's dozens of Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns could not be stopped at all.

Two of the canvas bullet belts with 250 rounds have been replaced.

Even the cold water in the water tank used for cooling has been boiled.

Seeing that the Czech-style rifles in the hands of the Eighth Route Army had just fired a volley of bullets, they stopped firing with curses.

That's right. Even if the barrel of a Czech rifle is shot red, it still can't catch up with the firing rate of the Maxim rifle.

The Japanese soldiers who were not killed by the shock wave were almost suffering from concussion.

Facing the baptism of the metal storm, he had already lost his temper.

Under the repeated fire of more than thirty Maxim heavy machine guns.

They lay on the ground with their heads in their hands. Those who were lucky were hit in the back by bullets and died on the spot.

The unlucky Japanese soldier was hit in his limbs and could not die immediately, so he rolled on the ground in pain.

Ten minutes later, the water tank of the Maxim heavy machine gun was almost dry.

If these heavy machine guns are not cooled down, all of the more than 30 heavy machine guns will be scrapped.

On the hillside here, the Eighth Route Army was busy replacing the cold water in the water tanks of the heavy machine guns.

The other riflemen had already rushed out of their positions and were approaching the Japanese troops in the encirclement.

At this moment, the light machine gunners on the hillside finally found their place to use their skills.

They had set up light machine guns and were continuously firing at suspicious targets in the encirclement.

And those Eighth Route Army soldiers who went down the mountain started from the periphery and kept shooting at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers.

Ten minutes later, the position became quiet.

Captain Xu of the Eighth Route Army ran over and reported the results of the battle to Song Wenwan and Wu Changfeng.

"Reporting to the two commanders, in this battle, we have wiped out 859 people from the Matsushita Battalion, including Matsushita."

After listening to this, Fang Ximen felt that the battle was not real enough.

All in all, it only took twenty minutes.

Nearly a thousand elite Japanese soldiers of the Kwantung Army were defeated just like that?

Captain Xu went on to say: "The Japanese were extremely tenacious in this battle.

Including their seriously wounded soldiers, not a single one surrendered to our army."

Fang Ximen thought: Since no one surrenders to you, they have no chance.

You start from the outside, and everyone, dead or alive, will be shot once.

The dead devils were still dead devils, and the devils who were still breathing had now become dead devils.

Wu Changfeng asked: "How are the casualties among the comrades? Have you figured it out?"

Captain Xu: "Among the comrades who participated in the ambush, there were no casualties.

The battle loss ratio was astonishing, zero to eight hundred and fifty-nine."

After Captain Xu finished speaking, he did not forget to straighten his chest and raise his head, and glanced at Song Wenwan.

The words "Commander, please praise me" were almost floating out of Battalion Commander Xu's eyes.

Song Wenwan said to him happily: "Captain Xu, with a casualty ratio of 0 to 958, you guys fought very well.

You guys should give me the statistics of the battle. When I return this time, I will look for your clan elders.

I will definitely let your clan elders open a temple and give you a separate page in the family tree."

When Captain Xu heard that he could have a separate page in the family tree, he immediately smiled.

However, Captain Xu's words "no casualties" stirred up a storm in Fang Ximen's heart.

Although it was he who came up with the strategy of luring the enemy, this Eighth Route Army was too powerful.

If he were to ambush here, he couldn't guarantee that he could completely wipe out this group of Japanese devils, let alone suffer no casualties himself.

While he was still in shock, Wu Changfeng heard a different meaning.

Wu Changfeng said: "Captain Xu, I don't quite understand what you just said.

What does it mean that among the comrades who participated in the ambush, there was not a single casualty.

Did the comrades who did not participate in the ambush suffer any casualties?"

Seeing that the three people opposite were looking at him, Captain Xu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Just now on the mountain, we were chasing each other with Captain Fang's Imperial Army, and someone got hurt accidentally."

“The deputy commander’s men had little experience in acting. When they pretended to fight with bayonets, they just went for it.

Several of our comrades had their legs scratched, and they immediately used their real Qi to practice martial arts, and both sides practiced with real swords and guns.

Fortunately, the landmine on our side exploded and they stopped.

Although there are a few unruly people in the Imperial Army.

But later on, he was more measured in his attacks, and only suffered minor injuries, which would not affect the rest of the battle."
