As an experienced commander, he knew very well that if their reinforcements could not arrive before dawn, they would never see dawn again.
At this time, another Japanese regiment headquarters located far away from them immediately began to assemble their troops, and then asked their soldiers to support them in the direction of the sound of gunfire.
It¡¯s just that it¡¯s rainy in autumn and it¡¯s still night. Even if they have a map in their hands, they are not very familiar with the terrain of Mount Wutai, so the support time will definitely be greatly extended.
On the outer positions of the Japanese army, Bai Mingxuan's soldiers had already gotten up from the ground and began to charge again.
At this time, the Japanese army was suppressed by the firepower of flamethrowers and machine guns and could not raise their heads. They could only blindly stretch out their guns and shoot.
The most troublesome thing for them was that their heavy machine gun positions never seemed to sound like this from the beginning to the end.
Because from the beginning of the battle, their heavy machine gun positions have been the focus of attention. Even the heavy machine gun positions hidden on the roofs of villages have become prey for snipers.
This left the Japanese army with basically only light machine guns and rifles as frontal firepower. This lack of firepower was in sharp contrast to the extremely ferocious firepower of the 189th Regiment.
¡°If we look at it purely in terms of firepower, people who don¡¯t know better would think that those being besieged were guerrillas, while those who launched the attack were the well-equipped Japanese troops.
"The troops closest to us have begun to support us, but they will have at least two hours. It is raining in autumn and it is still night, so it may take more time." Ono Nobuaki's staff officer covered his head. He was wearing a helmet and said loudly to Ohno Nobuaki who was lying in the mud amidst the intense sound of gunfire.
Nobuaki Ohno was lying in the mud, looking very embarrassed. At this time, the whole village was covered in mud, and as the captain of the regiment, he was no exception. He could only stay in the ditch soaked by the autumn rain with his soldiers.
Hearing these words, Nobuaki Ohno raised his head and looked at the Chinese soldiers not far away who were advancing rapidly with the help of flares. According to their speed, it would probably take less than an hour for all the peripheral positions to be lost. How could they withstand it in more than two hours?
"No, we have suffered heavy losses now. There are less than 200 soldiers in the entire army capable of fighting. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive." Nobuaki Ohno wiped the rainwater from his face.
After hearing this, his staff officer said, "Commander, are you planning to break out of the encirclement?"
Nobuaki Ohno said: "While we still have the ability to break out, take or destroy the important information in the headquarters, and then break out. This is the only way to survive."
"Okay, captain, I'll notify you immediately and prepare for a breakout. But which direction should we choose?" his staff asked.
Ohno Nobuaki looked around and found that there was only the southwest, and the firepower there didn't seem to be that fierce.
"Going to the southwest, the enemy's firepower is the weakest there. All other places are blocked by the enemy's heavy machine guns, and only that direction can break through." Nobuaki Ohno said.
The staff officer said: "Yes, captain." Then he began to crawl in the mud to notify other Japanese soldiers.
At this time, Bai Mingxuan's troops were getting closer and closer to the Japanese position. Relying on their firepower advantage, they were now less than twenty meters away from the Japanese army's outer trench positions.
"Grenade, don't give the little Japs a chance to breathe, throw them at the little Japs' position." The frontline commander shouted.
? One grenade after another, the back cover was immediately unscrewed.
"I yell one, two, three, and then throw it out after a delay of three seconds. In this way, the grenade may explode directly in the air, and the kid will not be able to pick it up and throw it back."
"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.
Then the company commander raised the grenade in his hand, pulled the string and shouted: "1!! 2!! 3!!"
Generally, grenades explode with a delay of four to five seconds. So they delay it like this, and it's actually possible that the grenade will explode directly in the hand. Fortunately, the quality of these grenades was still explosive. As three seconds passed, the grenades were thrown directly.
One after another, the grenades flew over the heads of the Japanese troops, or were thrown into the trenches, and then exploded directly. But those Japanese soldiers didn't even have a chance to pick it up and throw it back.
¡°Boom!!!¡±
There were loud noises, and the Japanese soldiers standing in the trench suddenly felt as if they had entered a bombing zone. This bombing zone was created directly by the enemy with grenades.
Those grenades that exploded directly above the heads of the Japanese troops caused more damage than those that fell on the ground. Because the fragments produced by the explosion can fall directly from the sky and cause direct damage to the Japanese troops hiding in the trenches.
Some Japanese soldiers who were lucky were able to wear helmets to help protect them. Those who were unlucky were directly killed or injured by fragments, and screamed in the trench full of blood and mud.
¡°Go for it!!¡±
Seeing that the Japanese army was suppressed, these soldiers got up from the ground and charged the Japanese position again.
At this time, the Japanese army could no longer resist and could only abandon the trench defense line and withdraw into the village.
It was at this time that Nobuaki Ohno had assembled the remaining Japanese troops in the village and began to charge northwest.
They originally thought that it was pitch dark in the northwest and there were no flares, so they should be able to break out while it was dark. But little did they know that every move they made at this time had fallen into the eyes of the observers of the 189th Regiment.
Through these observation instruments that were only available in later generations, their every move was detected.
"Regiment, the remaining Japanese troops are breaking out to the northwest at this time." They immediately conveyed the movements of the Japanese troops to Bai Mingxuan. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
