"This Eighth Route Army…"
In the command center, Sakata raised his binoculars and his pupils constricted.
Sakata, who was leisurely looking at the map and thinking about the follow-up attack of the troops, turned his gaze to the front line again after hearing the explosion that was louder than the grenade launcher.
When he looked at it, his face twisted.
He happened to see the second wave of grenades raining down. He saw more than a dozen Japanese soldiers being blown up and their limbs flying. He also saw the dozens of grenades that had been put together with great difficulty being scattered.
The devils hid themselves very casually. The first wave of attacks knocked out the big tumors, and the second wave sent them flying. The losses were not small.
"It looks like this is an original German M24 grenade, specially saved for use during an attack, but why is it so powerful?”Sakata frowned in confusion.
Germany's grenades, because the Central Army had imported a batch of them, Japan, which was the opponent of the Republic of China, also bought a batch of them for research. Sakata had naturally seen the real thing before, and he had even seen live ammunition drills and detailed data.
However, the explosion smoke in front of him was far more powerful than the Tokuzao that Sakata had seen before.
The system was too arrogant. It didn't use scientific reasoning and completely ignored economic and manufacturing factors. Rexogen was invented during World War II and the technology was mature, but no company or country would stuff high-purity Rexogen into grenades. This price difference of nearly 100 times couldn't even be supported by the money bags of the United States.
"This, the shape and size are indeed M24 grenades, but the explosive power is about half as strong." The staff officer was also puzzled."Could it be a new batch from overseas?"
"What a cunning and arrogant opponent!"
Seeing the assault team continue to attack his position with unstoppable momentum, as well as the machine guns that were still firing, Sakata's heart ached a little.
Although he did not care about the lives of ordinary soldiers, he cared about the combat effectiveness of the regiment. In this attack by the Eighth Route Army, the casualties of his subordinates were not small. Moreover, those who participated in the attack were all elite veterans. If too many died, it would affect the combat effectiveness of the regiment.
However, he felt relieved deep down.
If the 8th Route Army used their advantage and could not defend with these weapons, it would be troublesome for him.
Light machine guns, high-power grenades, sufficient ammunition, solid and reasonable bunkers, as well as the excellent tactical command ability and high morale of the enemy commander, might be able to stop him for a few days and even cause a lot of casualties.
However, he did not use the advantage of a good position. Instead, he concealed his firepower and launched a sudden attack in an attempt to defeat his regiment. This was simply wishful thinking. Sakata snorted coldly.
Although the 8th Route Army had caught his attacking troops off guard and lost hundreds of soldiers in an instant, and even fell into chaos, after all, the strength and firepower advantage were with his regiment. In the future, he would definitely take back the initiative on the battlefield with his superior strength.
Sakata did not panic at all.
At this moment, the rear troops of the Japanese, who had the advantage in numbers, had finished assembling. A team of more than 500 people met the assault team and the first battalion. Both sides engaged in a melee.
"How is that possible…"
Sakata, who was anticipating the elites under his command to defeat the 8th Route Army in one fell swoop, suddenly widened his eyes. He was so shocked that he almost rushed out of the command center.
They saw that the 1st Battalion and the Assault Team had already mixed together with the Japanese army. The battle was so intense that the yellow soil was dyed red. The expected collapse of the 8th Route Army did not happen. Both sides were in a fierce battle and instantly fell.
The Japanese army's bayonet battle was a necessary training program. Moreover, the Sakata United's devils were all old devils. They had used the flesh and blood of the Chinese people to cruelly sharpen their excellent bayonet fighting skills. However, the new regiment was not made of mud. The big blades were not at a disadvantage against the devils 'bayonet.
The other party actually had the upper hand in the hand-to-hand battle that the imperial army was proud of.
Gradually, the Japanese attack group was repelled…
" Baka, shame, shame of the Imperial Army…"
Seeing his subordinates being repelled by the hand-to-hand battle, Sakata was furious. He grabbed the phone and ordered them to continue attacking.
At this moment, about two hundred meters behind his command post, there was an explosion.
Enemy artillery?"
Before the phone in his hand could be picked up, Nobutetsu Sakata suddenly looked at the camp behind him.
Two hundred meters behind his command post, a cloud of smoke rose several meters high. In an instant, Sakata, who was a soldier, felt that something was wrong.
His command post was located at the front of the Japanese army's position, just over two kilometers away from the front of the Eighth Route Army's position. According to the Japanese army's regiment-level garrison regulations, the command post was absolutely forbidden to be placed so close to the enemy's position.
However, considering that they were facing the Eighth Route Army, there were almost no long-range artillery. The only mortar had a range of less than a kilometer. In addition, this place was very suitable for observing the frontline battle. With the tacit approval of the staff officer and Sakata's own decision, the command center was finally set up here.
And now, there was actually a shell that landed 200 meters behind his command post. Moreover, in terms of power, it was far more powerful than the 8th Route Army's 60-caliber mortar. It was not inferior to the 81-caliber mortar commonly used by the Republic of China's army.
There was danger, and he had to move…As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Sakata felt a violent explosion in his ears, mixed with the commander's exclamation. Then, his vision suddenly darkened, and there was only a buzzing sound in his consciousness, as well as the intense pain that swallowed everything.
" My command center was hit by a cannonball. I was careless…" That was Sakata's last thought.
"It hit, it hit! The power of this cannonball is really f * cking powerful. It's much more powerful than our own cannonball!"
Wang Chengzhu jumped up in joy when he saw the smoke from the Japanese command center in the distance.
A product of the system was definitely a high-quality product. Although the 60-caliber mortar shell weighed only 1.5 kilograms, it was filled with 330 grams of high-purity Rexogold, making it comparable to an ordinary 82-caliber mortar shell.
Beside him, the soldiers of the entire company were encouraged when they saw the enemy's command center being hit by the artillery shells. They fought even more vigorously. Ten machine guns spat bullets, especially Commander Li. He relied on his tall and strong physique and excellent shooting skills to hold a machine gun and fire with all his might. Almost every time he fired, a Japanese soldier was killed.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers were already in chaos. When they encountered such powerful firepower, they could only cover their heads and flee like rats. They were completely unable to form any organized counterattack.
" Continue to attack. Follow the Japanese's flank and go straight for Sakata's command post. Pillar, you can fire freely. Take out that heavy machine gun for me," Li Yunlong instructed the troops in time for the next move.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Chengzhu did not hesitate at all. He narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings. With the support of the high-quality mortar shells, his top-notch mortar skills were fully displayed.
"Charge…"
Li Yunlong handed his pistol to the machine gunner beside him, took out the 20-gun shell gun from his waist, and loaded it with a new magazine. Then, he picked up the big blade that was stuck in the ground and rushed towards Sakata's command center in the distance.
The battlefield was ever-changing, and it was also possible to affect the whole situation.
Sakata was killed, and the command structure was destroyed. The Japanese's attack force had completely lost its overall command.
Without the guidance of the staff officer from the command center, the two attacking battalions fought on their own. They were fighting each other, and it was chaotic. The artillery squadron at the back could only watch the chaotic battle in front of them, but they could not receive any orders. They could only wait anxiously. The heavy machine guns of the Japanese were firing non-stop, but they were still fighting each other. The firepower that was obviously superior was greatly reduced because they had lost their organization and command. They did not form a fire net.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao's assault team and his battalion also used hand-to-hand combat to educate the ghosts, completely breaking up the ghosts 'resistance. More than 500 ghosts left nearly 200 of them retreating in panic.
Zhang Dabiao held the hilt of the knife with his right hand and slashed the knife diagonally. The ghost in front of him was cut open and kicked away. Zhang Dabiao looked at the retreating ghost and then looked at the dozens of commandos around him. He didn't have time to take a breath and waved the big blade.
"Continue to attack…"
The assault team and the soldiers of the 1st Battalion did not even have time to clean up their comrades 'bodies. They shook their teeth and continued to attack the front. They wanted to completely break through the Japanese encirclement and open a path for the follow-up troops.
As for the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the new regiment, they spread out behind the 1st battalion. While expanding the passage, they also protected the safety of the two wings. The transport platoon, the regiment's kitchen squad, the communication unit, the health squad, and more than 100 lightly injured and logistics personnel broke out of the encirclement between the two battalions.
At the back of the troops, half of the infantry company was responsible for cleaning up.
The entire new regiment was like a sharp arrowhead, directly stabbing into the Sakata regiment, beating this so-called elite regiment of the Japanese army into pieces.
"Captain, this is a big fish!"
At the command center of the Sakata United Army, the assault team led by Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong's company had completed their rendezvous. The two of them looked at the corpses on the ground, looked at each other, and smiled.
"Haha, with this shot, the brigade commander won't shoot me for disobeying orders. He might even reward me.”
