Chapter 64 Pingxingguan Great Victory Second Stage 3

  They had staked everything on a swift resolution to the Japanese stronghold, and were not the type to hesitate. Not only did they equip over a dozen mortars with large yellow explosive packs, preparing to blast through the walls that the Japanese relied on, but they also prepared an elite assault team of over 50 people! Brand new submachine guns and shotguns hung from their waists, along with small Japanese watermelons. Everyone held their breath, leaning against the wall and covering their ears, ready to charge in through the predetermined breach as soon as the mortars exploded; meanwhile, large-caliber flamethrowers prepared in advance would instantly suppress all of the enemy's machine gun fire, allowing them to quickly break through the Japanese lines - that open area.

  With a series of dense "rumbling" sounds, more than a dozen giant black shadows flew towards the courtyard occupied by the Japanese army like twisting wheat, and then only heard a series of dense explosions, the feeling of shaking the earth, let alone Gaoduan even if he was over 100 meters away from the explosion site, but his two ears were still buzzing. In the swirling dust, the high and sturdy wall of the courtyard collapsed with a loud noise, although the diffused smoke blocked everyone's line of sight, but the assault team still charged forward according to the pre-planned combat plan.

  The large-caliber machine gun fired in three segments, trying to lock down the Japanese army's machine gun firing mouth. The dense iron sand left a piece of gray shadow on the stone wall, but it had to be said that under the cover of the earth-made smoke bomb, the Japanese army's machine gun firepower locked down more than 100 meters wide area, it was simply like running in the open field, not at all smooth.

  Heavy equipment, rapid running, even the elite soldiers who made short and swift attacks were panting heavily with their backs against the collapsed courtyard wall. The air was still filled with choking gunpowder smoke, and the thick dust in the gray air made it hard for the soldiers to breathe, even with masks on. Just a moment later, their eyes and hair were covered with thick dust. One by one, the soldiers followed closely behind the leader, who threw several bundles of grenades into the blasted opening before charging inside with shotguns and submachine guns amidst the intense explosions.

  Taking advantage of the smoke dispersed by the explosion, the agile soldiers quickly relied on walls and other coverings to support themselves, covering the subsequent troops to continue advancing inside, with focused and highly vigilant eyes watching any suspicious places, as soon as they heard the sound of the enemy army, a burst of gunfire swept over!

  The Japanese army was indeed unlucky. After determining the direction of the explosion, Bai Yiquan knew that the situation had already gone and the enemy would surely pour in through the gap blown open, and then use their numerical superiority to annihilate all the Japanese troops. However, he did not consider how the enemy would break through the dense bullet rain blockade line constructed by machine guns. Bai Yiquan directly led the remaining more than 50 reserve troops to prepare to block the road of our army's attack, and for him who still had a glimmer of hope for survival, he thought like a beast in desperation, even if he died, he would make some casualties for the enemy.

  Under the leadership of Bai Yi, who was stern and determined, with a military sword in one hand and a southern pistol in the other, they charged forward with bayonets shining brightly. "With great vigor and momentum" they came running to their deaths! Just as they rushed into the smoke of the explosion, preparing to catch the Eighth Route Army off guard, the Japanese were suddenly blown away by a cluster of hand grenades!

  With the help of explosive smoke, the dense iron sand of the shotgun and the dense bullet rain of the submachine gun, the Japanese army was knocked down in an instant, with a strong stopping effect, punching huge holes in the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who were charging forward with bayonets, and even many Japanese soldiers were blown backwards to the ground! The dense and scorching bullet rain seemed to be about to disperse that thin gray mist.

  The troops, who came rushing like a thunderbolt, annihilated more than half of the Japanese army that had been blocking their way. The remaining ones were beheaded by the big knife, and the blood splattered three feet high, making the soldiers of the assault team seem like evil spirits emerging from hell. Their bodies were covered in fresh blood, along with skin blackened by gunpowder smoke, and those bloody weapons also reduced the Japanese army's stubborn will to fight by more than half.

  The assault team led by Chen Sanwan, who was familiar with the terrain, continuously pierced through the gaps in the Japanese army's defense. Although the remaining Japanese soldiers were too few to pose a significant threat to the assault team, they had to reluctantly leave these "sitting ducks" for the reinforcements that followed closely behind, as per Gaoquan's requirement to capture the Japanese commander alive.

  The intense gunfire was getting closer and closer to the luxurious courtyard where Mr. Chen had once lived. The courtyard, which had once been intricately carved, richly colored, perfectly arranged, and loved by Bai Yuzhen, now looked dull and grey to him, nothing more than his burial goods and final resting place. "To be able to turn into ashes together with such a magnificent mansion, and ascend to heaven, is probably also a very beautiful thing! Probably many brave warriors of the Warring States period didn't even get to live in such luxurious houses! China is truly a wonderful place!"

  With infinite nostalgia, Bai Yi smiled as he gazed at the few photos of his family and girlfriend on the ground. The cherry blossom season, the beautiful girl's slender figure under Mount Fuji, and her intoxicating smile. There were also his parents' caring and nostalgic eyes, and their gaze that had eagerly awaited his safe return when he set out. Everything seemed to be leaving him far behind.

  Shiroi Tadao wiped the small dagger's gleaming blade with a handkerchief, his eyes gradually filling with a cold, unfeeling light. The handgun from the south was placed by his side, within easy reach. As a member of a traditional samurai family, the legacy of loyalty to the emperor had been etched in his mind since childhood. Surrender was out of the question! "My precious dagger! Today, you will accompany me on my final journey!"

  The door that was suddenly kicked open slammed heavily to the ground, raising dust that momentarily blinded Bai Yizhen. His muttering to himself was also interrupted. Bai Yizhen, who was holding a knife in both hands and was about to carve a Z-shaped mark on his own belly, naturally felt extremely displeased! Before he could react, his two hands went limp and fell down with two soft thuds.

  The muzzles of the guns kept protruding from behind the torn window paper, revealing eyes full of hatred and coldness! The September 11 Tianzhen Massacre, in which nearly ten thousand innocent civilians were killed, had long been widely publicized by domestic public opinion, making the Eighth Route Army soldiers who regarded ordinary people as their relatives extremely hateful towards the Japanese army! If it weren't for the Red Army's prisoner policy before, those Japanese soldiers who were captured due to injuries would have been brutally killed. However, even so, following Gao Gangquan's pre-war instructions, those little Japanese devils were tightly bound, with no medicine for their wounds, quietly waiting for those bastards to slowly bleed to death.

  Next to him stood Mao E and Xiao Zhe, two rough and tumble men, blowing away the smoke from their guns, looking down at Bai Yi who was sitting on the ground with a pampered expression.

  Bai Yi also looked at the commander of the Eighth Route Army in front of him, who was wearing a puttee and had a disdainful expression. Although from the combat data issued by the Ministry of the Army, it seemed that the troops with the Eighth Route Army armband were from the south*, and their combat effectiveness was not particularly strong. However, after experiencing the powerful combat effectiveness of this troop today, he deeply realized how badly wrong the Ministry of the Army was, and this Eighth Route Army would clearly become one of the strongest enemies of the Japanese Imperial Army in the future! It can be compared to Zhang Zhizhong's Iron Head Brigade! Although he also didn't know what the combat effectiveness of these two Central Army troops was like.

  Helplessly, he could only express his anger through his eyes towards Gao Quan, of course, he also knew that Gao Quan was very disdainful of him.

  When the southern pistol and the small dagger that had fallen to the ground became trophies in Gaoquan's hands, Bai Yi was furious and wanted to pounce on him.

  Of course, the result was that he was kicked flying out with a heavy kick, his body heavily slammed to the ground, several ribs were broken, and the severe pain in his body made Bai Yizhen spit out blood before happily fainting, probably only fainting could temporarily alleviate the anger of Gao Quan!
