Chapter 56
The Japs of the 45th Infantry Regiment, under the command of its commander, Colonel Kanda Masanee, soon attacked the forward position of the Independence Brigade again.
This time, because the brigade commander, Major General Ushijima Mitsuru, was on the frontline commanding, Colonel Kanda Masane, as the commander of the regiment, had to personally lead the charge.
Although he felt very uneasy, Kanda Masane kept comforting himself in his heart that all the tanks of the China Army must have been destroyed by the Imperial Army's air strikes, and the Imperial Army would definitely win this battle to strengthen his belief.
Fortunately, the subsequent attack went surprisingly smoothly. The soldiers of the 45th Infantry Regiment easily passed through the open area full of their own corpses and entered less than 200 meters away from the Chinese army position.
In previous attacks, once our own offensive troops entered this position, the Chinese defenders on the opposite side would definitely open fire, giving the imperial army the most violent firepower.
Therefore, the entire 45th Regiment participating in the battle, from Colonel Kanda Masanee down, all heightened their vigilance and were on full alert at this time.
But fortunately, as they continued to advance, no gunshots were fired from the Chinese positions on the opposite side, which were still filled with smoke.
Gradually, the Japanese soldiers relaxed their vigilance. Under the urging of some officers, they boldly accelerated their speed and rushed forward, hoping to cross the last fatal distance and enter the position as soon as possible.
As long as they rush into the Chinese army's position, they will definitely be able to completely defeat them and seize their position by virtue of their superior strength and their stabbing ability that far exceeds that of the Chinese army.
Seeing that the attack was going very smoothly, Colonel Kanda Masane, the captain of the 45th Regiment, couldn't help but become excited. He thought that the defenders were really severely damaged by the firepower of our own air raids and had no resistance. They had even given up on this position.
Already.
Therefore, he pulled out his command knife, waved it forward and urged: "Hurry up quickly and occupy the China Army's position! Attack!"
Seeing that the Japs were all within a hundred meters of the front line of his own position, Xu Wen, who was hiding in the second trench, finally stretched out the Mosinagan sniper rifle in his hand from the bunker.
He originally wanted to shoot a Japanese squad leader who was leading the charge, because the Japanese second lieutenant was no more than 120 meters away from him at that time. At this distance, a Mosin Nagan sniper rifle equipped with a 3.5x scope could easily shoot him.
Killed with a headshot.
However, during the aiming process, Xu Wen looked through the telescope out of the corner of his eye and suddenly discovered a Japanese colonel who was commanding.
He immediately changed his sniper target and pointed his gun at Kanda Masane, who was directing and urging his subordinates to charge.
"It's really hard to find anywhere, it takes no effort to get here! I'll take advantage of you!" Xu Wen quickly locked onto Kanda Masane and immediately pulled the trigger decisively.
Bang! A crisp gunshot suddenly sounded, and the body of the Mosin-Nagan sniper rifle shook violently. A small stream of blue-gray smoke rose from the muzzle, and a 7.62mm caliber bullet flew out of the gun barrel with a roar.
Shoot quickly towards the target.
At that time, Colonel Kanda was holding a gun in one hand and waving his sakan sword in the other, constantly urging his men to attack quickly.
He was completely unaware that the danger was approaching. When he heard the whistling sound of bullets and the sound of gunshots just coming, the hot sniper bullets had already flown in front of him, and there was no time to avoid them.
Whoosh! Poof! The bullet accurately hit Colonel Fukada’s forehead, killing him with one shot!
Kanda Masane, whose head was shot, was suddenly startled, and immediately fell straight backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
Xu Wen's gunfire was an order, and Li Dakui and hundreds of Sichuan officers and soldiers on the position followed suit and opened fire.
In an instant, the originally peaceful position suddenly erupted with gunfire, and tongues of flame suddenly appeared, forming a hail of countless bullets and pouring towards the Japanese troops who were approaching within a hundred meters.
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
And while Xu Wen pulled the gun bolt again and pushed the bullet into the chamber, the system issued a timely prompt: "Ding dong, congratulations to the host for killing a Japanese colonel and exploding a Leopard tank! Full of fuel and ammunition."
"Well done!" Xu Wen couldn't help but secretly applaud: "Great, I'm more certain about attacking the Japanese artillery positions at night!"
Xu Wen, who was in high spirits, immediately raised his gun again and aimed at a Japanese lieutenant colonel. He decisively pulled the trigger and shot!
With a whoosh, the bullet whizzed away and accurately hit the target's head again, and the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel fell down in response.
The system sent another prompt: "Ding dong, congratulations to the host for killing a Japanese lieutenant and a T-34/85 tank!"
"Holy shit! This is a World War II divine tank that is as good as the Tiger tank! Come on, the more the merrier, the more the merrier!" Xu Wen was overjoyed and almost jumped out of the bunker in excitement. He immediately pulled the gun bolt quickly and raised the gun again to find a new target.
He specifically picked out Japanese officers to fight! He quickly located another Japanese major and killed him with the ultra-high accuracy of his sniper rifle.
Ding dong, congratulations to the host for killing a Japanese major and releasing a box of Liushen toilet water!"
"Wonima?? What the hell? You're a major, you're going to give me a damn box of toilet water? Do you want me to be a salesman?" Xu Wen was so shocked that he almost cursed, but the system ignored him at all, and
Silence was restored.
Knowing that complaining was useless, Xu Wen had no choice but to find another Japanese lieutenant again and shoot him again.
The bullet hit the Japanese lieutenant colonel's chest, passed through his heart, and killed him with one blow. The system issued another prompt: Ding dong, congratulations to the host for killing a Japanese lieutenant colonel again and exploding a box of Du Lei silk!
"Damn it, are you so bad?" Xu Wen finally couldn't help but wailed in his heart: "I don't have a girlfriend? What's the use of this thing? What's more, even if I have a girlfriend, I don't need it, okay?"
The system remained silent and did not respond to him.
Xu Wen was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he raised his gun and continued shooting, killing Japanese officers, cadres, machine gunners, and grenadiers one after another.
Under his blow, the Japanese command system suffered a devastating blow, and the supporting firepower of light machine gunners, grenadiers, etc. was also severely damaged, unable to provide effective and timely fire support to the attacking troops.
In this unfavorable situation, the Japanese offensive troops were beaten to pieces by the soldiers of the Third Regiment of the Independent Brigade led by Li Dakui, and there were deaths and injuries all over the place.
And Xu Wen may have run out of luck because the first two explosions were so effective. Although he killed many Japanese majors and lieutenant-level officers, he never exploded any decent equipment.
Most of them are daily necessities, and the best ones are a Czech light machine gun and a 60mm mortar.
Although in this era, daily necessities are also very precious materials, if given the choice, Xu Wen would like to get more awesome weapons and equipment to enhance the strength of the independent brigade.
The Japanese 45th Regiment, which lost almost all its commanders and suffered heavy casualties, was finally defeated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and retreating hastily like a tide.
Chapter completed!
