However, when more than half of their troops had entered the mountains, the enemy's firepower on the high ground began to pour out ferocious firepower on them.
The Japanese troops on the mountain road were unable to form their own combat formations. Facing the machine gun fire flying overhead, they could only use their rifles to fire back.
However, there is a fundamental difference in the firepower of the two sides. The Japanese army is not only at a disadvantage in terrain, but also at a complete disadvantage in terms of firepower.
A flare rose into the air, and a large number of Japanese soldiers closed their eyes subconsciously under the dazzling light.
But many people here just closed their eyes for a moment, and were hit by flying bullets, and could no longer open their eyes.
Not only them, but at this time, the Japanese troops in the other direction were also caught in the joint firepower of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
The sound of gunshots coming from all directions caused the main force of the Japanese army to break out of the encirclement to subconsciously speed up their march.
Konoha Qingming picked up the telescope and looked behind them. The sky dyed red by the flames made him seem to be seeing the slowly setting sun in the darkness.
That is also their sunset! !
With this thought in mind, he asked his troops to speed up.
However, at this moment, directly in front of them, about two hundred meters away, Li Yunlong and his soldiers had taken out the grenades from their waists, put them at hand, and at the same time pulled the bolts of their guns. , while opening the rifle's safety.
With just one order, Li Yunlong and his soldiers would pour the bullets in their guns and the grenades at hand at the Japanese army.
"Captain, why haven't we fought? The little devils have come in."
Monk Wei asked in a low voice at this time.
Li Yunlong looked at the Japanese troops marching below, and said with a very calm expression on his face: "What are you so anxious about? This is just the vanguard of the little devils. Let them go and let the troops behind them stop them. We want to catch the big fish!" "
As he was talking, the Japanese advance team below began to speed up.
They seemed to have a premonition of some kind of danger coming.
Konoha Qingming was at the rear, watching the troops in front of them quickly pass through the valley where they had paid countless lives before, and a big stone fell in his heart at this time.
Does the enemy have no defenses in this direction?
He thought it was unlikely, but his strong desire to survive and the successful passage of the advance troops gave him some hope, even if these hopes should not have appeared in his heart.
"The second wave of troops moves forward."
As Konoha Kiyoaki said this, he immediately led his soldiers and marched forward.
They also move very quickly.
At this time, although the Japanese army was as embarrassed as a bereaved dog, their discipline and organization were still there.
The Japanese commanders at the grassroots level demonstrated their ability to control their soldiers.
Throughout the entire retreat, the Japanese army made almost no sound. They could only vaguely hear the rustling sound in the gentle breeze of the evening wind, like insects crawling on the land on a summer night.
But just as their troops kept moving forward to break through, illumination bombs appeared above their heads at this moment.
Those Japanese soldiers subconsciously raised their heads and looked at the flares flying above their heads, as if they were looking at a butcher knife that was raised high and was about to fall on their heads.
Sure enough, the moment the flares rose up, soldiers from the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army on the highlands on both sides began to fire wildly at the Japanese troops below.
The dense firepower network covered the Japanese army in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there was a brief chaos in their formation. Then, the Japanese soldiers were organized and began to charge towards the high ground on both sides under the leadership of their commanders.
For these Japanese troops, they have no other choice. Even if they know that they will die, they must launch a charge against the enemy highlands on both sides.
At this time, the mortars, artillery and other units of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army in the distance also began to use long-range firepower to carry out fierce bombing against the Japanese army.
The Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army not only determined the main direction of the Japanese retreat this time, but alsoThe most ferocious firepower was concentrated in the direction in which they retreated.
Now, the shells fired by these artillery pieces, as well as rockets ejected from the rocket nest, have all fallen on the Japanese army below.
¡°Boom!!!!¡±
Continuous loud noises were heard, and the Japanese soldiers could not even find a hiding place. They were turned into broken corpses on the ground amid the intensive bombing.
The other Japanese soldiers began to retreat outside the area covered by artillery fire, but the intensive artillery fire had blocked the entire valley. They could only retreat to their rear to avoid being bombarded. For them, this place was hell. , the rear is also hell.
Naturally, they were unwilling to go out. The supreme commander of the Japanese army, Konoha Kiyoaki, made a decisive decision at this time: "All troops, immediately launch a charge on the highlands on both sides, and at the same time tell the advance troops to return immediately for reinforcements. We need their help." .¡±
At this time, in front of them, the Japanese advance troops had already moved out about a kilometer away.
They heard intensive gunshots and explosions from behind, and immediately stopped moving.
When their captain saw this, he realized that their main force was blocked by the enemy in the rear.
It was also at this time that a telegram from Konoha Qingming was sent.
Seeing the contents of the telegram, the captain of the Japanese advance team fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he could completely pretend that he had not seen this telegram, and then lead his soldiers to continue to break forward.
In this case, although he abandoned his comrades and even his commander, he and his soldiers were able to win a glimmer of hope.
This is a choice. He needs to let himself choose a way to live, but although the other way will lead to death, it can also allow him to fulfill his due responsibilities as a soldier.
Thinking of this, he began to hesitate.
At this time, his staff officer said: "Colonel, I know what you are thinking. We only have more than a thousand people in our hands now. With these people, if we go back to fight the enemy, do you think we can break through the enemy?" blockade, rescue the division commander and the others?"
