Chapter 123: Racing Against Time
123 are racing against time
The noise made by the Flying Thunder Cannon was so loud that it stood out on the entire battlefield.
It instantly attracted the attention of the commanders of both the Japanese and the National Army to Zheng Cuzi's position.
"Haha, it's Captain Zheng and his men's flying thunder cannons. The Japanese over there are in trouble."
An officer from the Seventh Regiment said with a smile.
Zhou Pingkou also used a telescope to look in front of Zheng Quezi's position and found that there were quite a few Japanese soldiers who had fallen.
"Captain Zheng's attack probably wiped out two squads of the Japanese."
Zhou Pingkou laughed, but then shook his head: "Unfortunately, the limitations of weapons like the Flying Thunder Cannon are too great.
It would be nice if the range was longer.”
Then, Zhou Pingkou saw that Zheng Quezi led his men out of his position and attacked.
Clear out the Japanese soldiers in front of the position who have not been killed by the bomb.
Although the explosive packs fired by these more than 30 flying thunder cannons are very powerful.
The two squads of Japanese soldiers who attacked Zheng Quezi's position indeed suffered heavy losses.
However, the explosive packs fired from the Flying Thunder Cannon had no accuracy at all.
Therefore, many of the explosive packs were thrown far away from the Japanese.
The Japanese devils were not killed.
Only the small number of explosive packs thrown into the middle of the Japanese attacking team actually killed many Japanese soldiers.
However, the misdirected bomb failed to kill many Japanese soldiers.
However, the huge shock wave from the explosion still injured and knocked out many Japanese soldiers around.
Under such circumstances, how could Zheng Guizi let go of such a good opportunity to kill the Japanese?
He immediately rushed out from the position with more than 20 elite veterans under his command.
Bang bang bang!
There were constant gunshots in front of the position, and there were constantly injured Japanese soldiers being shot by them.
These Japanese soldiers were either injured by the explosion or knocked unconscious by the shock and lost the ability to resist.
They just become lambs to be slaughtered.
Veterans like Zheng Quezi were very efficient and effective, and they could kill with one blow.
After a while, dozens of injured but still alive Japanese soldiers in front of Zheng Quezi's position were killed by them.
Only a dozen or so Japanese soldiers at the back fled back in terror and panic.
“One-Eye, Bao Heitan, stop chasing us.
Retreat, the Japs are about to bombard us."
When Zheng Quezi saw two of his veteran soldiers trying to chase after a dozen or so fleeing Japanese remnants, he immediately stopped them and shouted.
The two old soldiers felt a little regretful, but after hearing Zheng Guizi's call, they quickly retreated.
Wait for them to rush back to their positions and hide in the trenches.
The Japanese's retaliatory artillery bombardment also arrived.
Boom boom boom!
Artillery shells covered the position of Zheng Quezi and his men, but they hid in the cat-ear holes in the trenches, rolling their cigarettes.
These veterans carried out their harvesting operations smoothly.
"Damn, the Japanese artillery fire is really fast."
The one-eyed old soldier with an eyepatch cursed, but his action of rolling a cigarette was not affected.
"This time, we killed at least two squads of the devil.
I wonder if the commander of the 6th Brigade of the Japanese on the other side will be so angry after seeing this scene."
An old soldier with a face as black as charcoal smiled and revealed a row of big white teeth and said.
"Of course I'm going to say it. He must be furious."
This is indeed the case. The commander of the Japanese 6th Brigade, Kunimori Shinichi, was also attracted by the sudden huge explosion at the position of Zheng Quezi and his men.
Then, the old Japanese used a telescope to observe the battle situation at Zheng Quezi's position.
Almost pissed off.
He saw with his own eyes that it took less than half an hour for the two Japanese squads of more than a hundred soldiers to attack.
In the end, only a dozen people escaped.
Four tanks and armored vehicles were also lost.
Such losses were almost unprecedented on the Japanese side.
"Baga, what's going on over there?"
The Japanese brigade commander Kunimori Shinichi became angry, and soon a Japanese officer learned the situation from the mouths of the Japanese soldiers who escaped.
Report the matter to the old devil Kunimori Shinichi.
"Baga, what kind of strange weapon are those Chinese using?
Why, there are always these strange weapons and equipment in Ye Qingshan's army. "
After hearing this, the old devil Guosheng Zhenyi also frowned and growled in a low voice.
"Bombard that Chinese position hard.
Tell Captain Matsumoto to send his elite troops to capture that position.
Let him be careful of the Chinese, those strange weapons with great power."
The old Japanese soldier couldn't understand for a moment what the Flying Thunder Cannon was like, but he still had to continue the attack.
He had no choice but to give a death order to the commander of the Japanese 118th Regiment.
Zhou Pingkou's blocking battle started at this time.
Even so, the Japanese Sixth Brigade had more than 4,000 troops, twice the number of Zhou Pingkou's troops.
But the advantage of geographical location, coupled with the bazookas and Molotov cocktails they were equipped with, gave them the means to deal with the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks.
In this way, the Japanese equipment advantage was greatly offset.
It would not be easy for the Japanese Sixth Brigade to capture Phoenix Ridge in a short time.
When the blocking battle at Phoenix Ridge started.
Ye Qingshan also basically knew it.
In fact, the Phoenix Ridge blocking position was not very far from Ye Qingshan’s ambush circle.
It was hard for Ye Qingshan not to hear the Japanese artillery and the huge noise caused by the flying thunder cannon just now.
"The blocking battle on Lao Zhou's side has begun. The remaining troops of the Japanese Sixth Brigade are coming."
Ye Qingshan looked towards the north with a serious expression.
He knew that the attack from the Japanese Sixth Brigade of more than 4,000 people in the north must be crazy.
Zhou Pingkou and his team are under a lot of pressure.
Although Ye Qingshan asked Zhou Pingkou to buy him a day and a night, Zhou Pingkou agreed.
But Ye Qingshan knew very well that if the Japanese Sixth Brigade was really crazy, they would attack at all costs.
With the troops Zhou Pingkou has, he may not be able to hold out for a day and a night.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan did not plan to take so long to end this battle.
He had to get rid of the Japanese 117th Regiment in the encirclement as quickly as possible.
Ye Qingshan and the commander of the Japanese 6th Brigade, Kunimori Shinichi, are now racing against time.
Ye Qingshan turned his attention back to the ambush battlefield on his side.
As long as he can destroy the Japanese 117th Regiment as soon as possible, Zhou Pingkou's team will be able to evacuate faster.
At this time, the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers still alive in the ambush circle had fought for more than three hours.
It has also been divided and surrounded into three parts by Ye Qingshan's troops.
All the surviving Japanese soldiers have gathered in these three places and are fighting desperately.
As for the Japanese in other places, they were naturally all wiped out.
But even in these last three places, the remnants of the Japanese devils who gathered together to fight to the death were difficult to deal with.
"Let's go to the front line!"
Ye Qingshan turned and left the command center. Seeing this, orderly Han Xiaofei immediately followed.
