Under the threat of the Japanese soldiers, the civilians kept moving forward. Their speed was very slow, but the Japanese soldiers were not in a hurry. They were only 300 meters away from the position, but the soldiers of the Independent Brigade did not dare to fire a shot. This was the best proof.
Xu Ziqiu received the report from the front line at the first moment. He frowned when he heard the situation. He did not expect the Japanese army to do this.
However, he had to deal with this matter now. Otherwise, he would be in big trouble. The Japanese civilians were being used as meat shields, which made him feel very troublesome.
Now was not the time to hesitate. Time waited for no one. He had to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Order, do not shoot at the civilians. Close up and fight with the Japanese. Be careful to use pistols to fight the Japanese.”
What happened here naturally reached the highest-ranking commander, Lu Jie.
"Are these Japanese really f * cking dogs that can't change? I agree with Brigadier Xu's method of handling this. Also, we don't want any Japanese prisoners in this war.”
Lu Jie hated the Japanese army's actions that had no bottom line. It was normal for the Japanese to do such things. What kind of terrible things could they not do in China?
After the order was passed down, the soldiers no longer felt at a loss. They could not help but feel at ease. These were veterans. They could calm down in such an emergency.
"Damned Japanese, I'm going to cut them into pieces later!”
"How can I cut him into pieces? I have to cut him into pieces!”
When the soldiers saw this scene, they could not help but curse. Although they were Bio-Humans, they were also Chinese in their memories.
"Brothers, be prepared to fight the Japanese hand-to-hand. Remember what the handgun that the higher-ups prepared for me is for. Try to use the handgun to finish the battle later. Also, be careful not to cause too many casualties to the civilians!”The battalion commander personally came to the front line and shouted to the soldiers below.
As a tycoon, how could Lu Jie not equip the soldiers with a pistol? This pistol was a reward for completing a side quest.
The range of a handgun was usually within 10 meters. After 10 meters, a rifle or submachine gun would usually be used to end the battle. This time, Lu Jie rewarded him with a powerful classic gun.
This pistol was a Colt 1911, commonly known as the M1911A1 pistol. It had a caliber of 11.43mm and was an automatic pistol. It was produced in 1911 and was still in service 200 years later. It was obvious how classic this pistol was.
The effective range of this gun was 50 meters, but the actual combat distance was definitely a little closer. It had a loading capacity of 7 rounds, which was considered a very good ammunition capacity. If it hit the body within 10 meters, it could directly make the opponent lose their combat ability or even die.
Everyone had a pistol. Even among the armies of the great powers, only the United States could do this. The Japanese army would never have thought that the Independent Brigade would have a pistol in their hands. In hand-to-hand combat, a round of shooting was enough to cause heavy losses to the Japanese army. It was a weapon for close combat.
Moreover, the soldiers of the independent brigade were equipped with melee weapons like the Somi submachine guns.
Soon, the people threatened by the Japanese army were getting closer and closer to the position. They were less than 50 meters away from the bridgehead.
They absolutely couldn't let the Japanese soldiers get on the bridge. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to beat them back. They might even go to this bridgehead position. In that case, Wanping City would be directly exposed to the Japanese soldiers.
"Charge!"
"Drip, drip, drip!"
The assault officer blew the crisp charge horn, and the soldiers shouted and rushed out of the position. They carried their rifles and charged at the Japanese army with great momentum.
When the Japanese soldiers saw the Independent Brigade soldiers who had been holed up in their positions with the help of powerful firepower actually rush out, they couldn't help but be happy. Compared to a fight with a bayonet, the Chinese were definitely not their match.
So the Japanese army began to withdraw the bullets. The bullets came out of the gun chamber one by one and fell to the ground.
The reason why the Japanese army made this move was actually very simple. It was because the penetrating power of the 38 cover was too strong. If they fired during the melee, the bullets were likely to pass through the enemy's body and hit their own people, causing accidental injuries.
This kind of thing had happened not once or twice, but many times. Therefore, the Japanese army decided to withdraw the bullets before the fight, so as not to accidentally injure their own people in the process of fighting. This was a very demoralizing thing.
"Charge!" The two company commanders did not lead the charge because they were officers. If they died at the beginning of the battle, who would be in charge of the troops?
There was a clear rule in the army that the military commander was not allowed to be at the front during the charge. Of course, he could not be at the back either. Otherwise, it would be difficult to detect the specific battle situation in front.
Soon, the soldiers passed through the civilians and collided with the Japanese assault troops. A bloody battle was about to happen.
