Chapter 589 Capture the main position in the back street
Faced with the assault team's impact, the Japanese defense line guarding the back street was broken, and many Japanese died at the guns of Wang Si and the others' charge.
But Kozuka was unwilling to retreat from Yucheng just like this, so he reorganized his troops, filled the gap in the breakthrough, and increased his defensive firepower.
The light and heavy machine guns that defended the back street were only half of the Xiaozuka team. Now, seeing the critical situation, he had to transfer all the remaining light and heavy machine guns to the front line, blocking Wang Si and the others' charge with the advantage of strong firepower.
The dense sound of machine guns and the constant explosion of grenades, combined with the burning smoke, covered the entire backstreet battlefield.
The brothers who had just rushed over were immediately hit by fire and were beaten back before they had gained a foothold in the enemy's position.
In this way, the Japanese defense line that had just broken through was once again returned to the Japanese. After the commando consumed so much ammunition, they returned to the origin again, and nothing changed at all.
"Second brother, as soon as we rushed to the enemy's position, we were attacked by the Japanese's strong firepower. The brothers really couldn't fight it, so they had to retreat in the end." The big man retreated and found Wang Si as soon as possible to report on the situation encountered in the battle.
"That's right, our brothers originally thought that all the heavy machine guns had been destroyed by our mortars, but they didn't expect that the Japanese had heavy machine guns to exist!" He Guoqing added at this time.
The brothers were under the machine gun that suddenly appeared on the Japanese side, and there were heavy casualties. He was unwilling to count the casualties, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It seems that the Japanese have made second-hand preparations and left some light and heavy machine guns as backup. After our mortars blow up their heavy machine guns, they can quickly transfer the remaining heavy machine guns to the front line and resume the battle before they go to the battle." Wang Si speculated, and it seemed that only this explanation could explain everything in front of him.
You should know that when the mortar fire covered the Japanese machine gun array just now, he saw those heavy machine guns being blown up with his own eyes. The Japanese could recover their combat effectiveness so quickly, and there seemed to be only such an explanation.
"If you don't let the Japanese attack the machine guns that Lao Chu and the others gave the Japanese again, I don't believe that the Japanese will have backups!" Jiang Caidie suggested at this time.
Otherwise, they could destroy the Japanese machine gun once, and it would not be difficult to destroy the Japanese machine guns again. Therefore, she believed that as long as Chu Huaichen and Ma Sanpao fought, no matter how many Japanese machine guns would be blown into pieces.
"Old Chu, what do you think?" Wang Si immediately turned around and asked Chu Huaichen beside him. You must know that the artillery must be asked about artillery before making a decision. This is his basic mercenary principle.
"We don't have many shells anymore. After this round of shelling, it means that the cannons in our hands will never sound anymore. When our commando arrives at the Changsha front line, we will probably have to rely on the fire sticks in our hands to fight the Japanese." Chu Huaichen took the situation of their mortar shells lightly, so he told the truth.
"Fourth brother, you have to make a decision quickly. Chief Song and his team are behind us and will soon arrive at the back street!" The big man was a little anxious. He knew the current situation. They had no time to delay. They had to cut the mess quickly, otherwise they would wait for Chief Song and his team to arrive, and their task of opening the road has not been completed, which would make people feel that they were incompetent.
"In this way, I order you to shell another round of Japanese positions, use the least shells to take down the Japanese machine gun positions, and cover our main force to rush forward!" Wang Si also knew their current troubles, and knew that delaying would make the large army miss the opportunity to fight, so he decisively issued an order and said to Chu Huaichen and the others.
"Yes... guaranteed to complete the task!" Hearing Wang Si's order, Chu Huaichen immediately responded, and then returned to the edge of the mortar with Ma Sanpao in time and began to adjust the bombardment position.
This is a basic requirement to ensure the accuracy of shelling. They must achieve the highest accuracy, so that only in this way can they avoid wasting shells.
Their shells were very small this time and they tested them every day, so the requirements for calibration of the left and right heights were even higher. The two of them dared not be negligent and did the best they could.
After a while of debugging, Ma Sanpao first gave a thumbs up, indicating that the preparations were completed and he was waiting to load the shells.
In less than a while, Chu Huaichen gave a thumbs up, and his preparations were done, just waiting for Wang Si to issue an order to fire.
Seeing that they were ready, Wang Si stood up and raised his right hand toward my two mortars that were ready for artillery, and then threw them down from top to bottom.
Chu Huaichen and Ma Sanpao picked up a shell and slid down towards the muzzle of the mortar. He immediately heard the sound of the shell scratching the barrel. Then there were two loud sounds. The two shells flew into the sky under the flames sprayed from the muzzle and smashed into the Japanese machine gun position.
The Japanese's two heavy machine guns were bombarded almost at the same time. The powerful artillery fire instantly covered the Japanese's position and exploded the Japanese's machine guns on the spot. The Japanese's machine gunner also pushed the position out with huge thrust and fell to the ground.
Then, as the second shell was loaded into the muzzle, two shells cut through the sky, and then the two shells in front flew over the place where the two shells exploded and smashed on the other two heavy machine guns of the Japanese.
The Japanese machine gunners were blown over to the ground together with the heavy machine gun, destroying the Japanese heavy machine gun positions on the spot.
At this time, Wang Si personally led his brothers to rush towards the front of the Japanese positions, and kept firing at the Japanese in front to ensure that their charge was unimpeded.
Xiaozuka did not expect that Wang Si and his team would be so fast to counterattack. He had previously thought that after Wang Si and his team had shot one round, they would turn into scrap metal because there were no shells, but he did not expect that the shells would come so quickly that they instantly destroyed four of his front-line heavy machine gun positions.
Many of the Japanese around him died on the position, and with the 38th bulb in their hands, they could not stop Wang Si and the others from charging.
"Your Excellency, retreat quickly. The Chinese army has rushed forward. If we don't leave, we will have no chance to leave!" Hashimoto said to Kozuka at this time, and helped Kozuka leave as soon as possible.
"Baiga, the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, even if they die in battle, they cannot do such a humiliating thing!" Kozuka refused to leave, and struggled to push away the two Japanese soldiers around him, but none of the Japanese soldiers let go and forced Kozuka away from here.
Takahashi then issued a retreat order, and all the Japanese followed Takahashi and the others and walked towards the south gate.
