Seeing the wounded soldiers who were carried back one after another, the already overcrowded field sanitation team also had a headache for these wounded people. In the end, in order to ensure the safety of these wounded people, the infantry brigade had to send them to the county town where troops were stationed in the rear.

The cold guns and cold cannons along the way, coupled with the "landmine" dinner in the early morning, really made the infantry brigades rush to Zhengzhou truly feel the power of these elite squads of the Eighth Route Army.

Many times, they only know that they were attacked, but they don’t know who attacked them. Sometimes they don’t even see the shadow of the attacker, but their soldiers fall one by one. Such invisible and intangible opponents do have some damage to morale.

The infantry artillery squadron was transferred from the brigade. After the shelling, the sniper disappeared and the mines on the road were eliminated. However, the delay of a long time also resulted in hundreds of casualties among the engineers and the vanguards.

The commander of the infantry brigade who learned the news seemed a little depressed. As for being angry, he had already given birth. This is not the first time they have encountered such news since they went to war last night, and they have not discovered any sneak attack.

When the infantry brigade responsible for expelling snipers was fed back, these Eighth Route Army snipers built individual potholes in lurking places, which could effectively block their mortar bombing.

As for infantry cannons, they can actually withstand one or two, but these snipers seem to have completed the mission. They did not give the Japanese infantry a chance to attack. When they were about to send infantry to the sniper point, these snipers had already escaped.

After a long time wasted, the commander of the infantry brigade finally issued an order to continue moving forward. Considering that the vanguard had lost many soldiers, the infantry brigade replaced a group of troops responsible for the vanguard.

Considering that this place is not very far from Zhengzhou, the brigade commander also said cautiously: "From the mine array arranged by the Eighth Route Army before, they already know that we are here. The attacks along the way are all to delay our attack time.

Next, your infantry brigade must follow the vanguard squadron, and the infantry artillery squadron that had previously cooperated with your combat will also be dispatched to act with your brigade. Once you encounter an attack, you must make a decisive counterattack, understand?"

'Hi!'

After the infantry captain who had received the order followed an infantry squadron on the road again, the scouts lurking in secretly monitored quickly reported the news that the Japanese army was back on the road to the next ambush point.

The reconnaissance battalion commander who received the report quickly said: "Order the troops to enter the ambush position, and we must also treat them well. These Japanese soldiers who came to die. The troops from the front-line positions are ready to fight at any time!"

Not long after, the vanguard squadron, who served as the pioneer of the Japanese army, soon appeared in the sight of the sentry. Several scouts hidden in the trench also looked at the vanguards passing by under their noses calmly.

When the infantry brigades followed the vanguard squadron and the advance infantry artillery squadrons following the infantry brigades, these scouts lurking in the trench, watched carefully as these troops stepped into their blasting area step by step.

With the last follow-up infantry artillery squadron, they also stepped into the blasting area. Several scouts who had long placed their hands on the blasting device looked at each other and nodded at the same time, saying, "Breaking Blast!"

Several explosion launchers were pressed at the same time, and after a series of currents were rushing. The original road that was not dangerous was once again shrouded in an explosion and smoke.

The huge explosion made the vanguards walking in front almost turn around. The huge fireworks that soared into the air told the officers and soldiers of the vanguards that they had just passed by the god of death.

The loud explosion sounded again undoubtedly alarmed the main force of the infantry brigade who followed up. One force also rushed to the explosion area as quickly as possible, hoping to carry out rescue as soon as possible.

At this moment, the squadron of the vanguard who had just been immersed in the explosion suddenly saw bursts of gunfire coming from all directions. The flat underground that originally seemed to be without any danger suddenly jumped up with an Eighth Route Army soldier holding a submachine gun.

They were almost not given much time to react. The Eighth Route Army, which rushed out from both sides of the road, walked straight to the highway where they were on, and many Japanese soldiers were shot dead by these submachine gunmen without any time to react.

After the explosion, such a fierce gunfire was heard, undoubtedly telling the main force of the infantry brigade who came to support the future, the infantry brigade, which was carrying the frontier, that was under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army, that they must rush to reinforcements as soon as possible.

‘Hurry! Our troops are under attack, run faster and move forward!’

An anxious Japanese officer shouted these words while urging the soldiers running on the road to speed up the speed. If they were too late, the infantry brigade in front would probably have been wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

As the Japanese reinforcements quickly arrived at the explosion site, the assault scouts who had already fought a round of attacks also quickly returned to the main position not far from the highway. Some pursuing Japanese infantry also quickly realized that there was a blocking position ahead.

Under such circumstances, the scattered Japanese soldiers pursuing quickly retreated and reported the situation to the infantry corps commander who came to reinforce one after another. He learned that there was an Eighth Route Army blocking position on the hillside ahead, and the infantry brigade commander was also a little surprised.

But it was unexpected that it was unexpected. It was understandable that the Eighth Route Army built a blocking position in this place less than ten kilometers away from Zhengzhou. After all, they needed to delay their entry through continuous blocking!

‘Order the First Regiment and the Field Artillery Squadron to prepare for the offensive matter immediately. Be sure to open the entry channel in the shortest time. We have been wasting a lot of time here and can no longer waste valuable offensive time.’

It is clear that the main force of the division has already set out from Zhongmu. If they cannot open a safe passage for the main force before the main force of the division arrives, then he, the brigade commander, will probably be scolded by the division commander.

As the brigade commander issued a combat mission, a fully armed infantry corps quickly set off an offensive stance in front of the Eighth Route Army's blocking position. The field artillery squadron that cooperated with its combat also chose the artillery position.

After the tentative attack, he found out that the Eighth Route Army blocking positions ahead actually did not deploy much troops, and the Japanese brigade commander who was watching the battle also seemed relieved. He felt that it would not take much time to seize this blocking position.

But what they didn't know was that the reconnaissance battalion commander, who had been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army, watched the Japanese army prepare to launch a real formal attack. He said: "Prepare the signal flare, and the Japanese army attacked the anti-aircraft machine gun positions on both sides of the attack began to raid!"

When the Japanese army blew the whistle of charge, teams of Japanese troops began to charge towards the Eighth Route Army blocking positions in the face of artillery fire. The anti-aircraft machine gun platoons that had been lurking on the left and right sides of the Japanese army for a long time were also ready for shooting.

When the Japanese army entered the range of anti-aircraft machine guns, what surprised the Japanese offensive troops was that at this time, two signal flares suddenly fired on the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army. This surprised the Japanese army's attack. What should we do when we fire the signal flares?

Just as the Japanese brigade commander and the corps captain who were watching the battle in the rear felt a little confused. On the two small earth slopes that looked very calm on both sides of the road, there were suddenly bursts of huge gunfire sounds and a series of fire tongues that were seeking life.

The anti-aircraft machine guns currently imitated by the arsenal can also reach 1,500 meters when adjusted to flat fire. Four anti-aircraft machine guns are deployed on both positions, basically locking the Japanese troops on the road and in the rear.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army had only focused on staring at the Eighth Route Army that had set up blocking positions on the hills ahead. However, they ignored these two small hills that seemed to be of little use. At this time, the small hills became a fatal trap.

Strings of violent flames erupted, and huge machine gun bullets broke the shocked Japanese infantry directly in the waist. As long as one bullet was received, these Japanese devils would be seriously injured even if they were not killed.

The experienced Japanese army said in horror: "Baga, this is an anti-aircraft machine gun! They actually used anti-aircraft machine guns to deal with our infantry! Bageya Road, lie down! Leave down quickly! Artillery, we need artillery fire support!"

The flesh and blood body is hard to resist even the rifle bullet, let alone this kind of anti-aircraft machine gun bullet!

Looking at some Japanese soldiers who were shot in the head, they directly exploded the head with a bullet. When they hit their bodies, they often made a big blood hole. This bloody and cruel strafing made the Japanese offensive suddenly stagnate.

Even the Japanese brigade commander and the corps commander who were staying behind to watch the battle at this moment did not expect that the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft machine guns had already pointed at the rear where they were asking for safety. As a result, when the machine guns came, batches of Japanese troops were beaten to death and shattered.

Although most of the soldiers of the 14th Division have experienced baptism in actual combat, this is the first time they have encountered such scenes of using anti-aircraft machine guns to attack infantry. Such a cruel and bloody massacre really shocked them.

Unless you are lying on the ground, you will have no chance of surviving a bullet. The lethality of the eight anti-aircraft machine guns at this time really shocked and even feared the attacking Japanese infantry.

On the other hand, when staying on the position and watching the Japanese who were massacred on the road, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion were very happy: "Damn it, this anti-aircraft machine gun is really satisfying to hit Japanese Japanese! This machine gun is so powerful!"

‘Nonsense! Using machine guns to kill Japanese airplanes and attacking these Japanese infantry is just a killing knife!’

Faced with the sudden machine gun raid, the Japanese infantry brigade, who was unprepared on the road, suffered heavy losses. They could not even counterattack the strafing of such anti-aircraft machine guns, and could only lie on the ground.

When the Japanese artillery, which had originally aimed the artillery at the Eighth Route Army's blocking position, the artillery was adjusted to the anti-aircraft machine gun positions on both sides. The anti-aircraft machine gun platoon, which had already wiped out the two ammunition boxes, quickly withdrew the gun and lifted it up to retreat quickly.
