Chapter 319: Taking Over Flying Eagle Castle
When the Japs got up and charged during the intervals between artillery bombardments, machine guns and telephones opened fire crazily.
Although the magazines on their chest magazine belts had been completely emptied, when the artillery fired just now, they loaded all the magazines in their backpacks into the magazine belts and guns.
Not only that, the grenadiers had already opened fire.
The reason why the grenadiers did not use the grenade launcher before was that they were worried about accidentally blowing up the shell box.
Now, there are no shell boxes in the direction of the Japanese, so they can bomb as much as they want.
Although there were only more than 300 of them, their crazy firepower killed many Japanese soldiers and directly suppressed the Japanese charge.
The second round of artillery bombardment caused heavy casualties to the Japanese.
The captain of the Japanese supply team was blown into the sky on the spot.
Plus the bombing of grenade launchers.
The entire baggage train was covered by artillery fire.
The Japs no longer dared to charge, but instead retreated quickly one after another.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
Jiang Zhengzhong roared anxiously.
Everyone keep firing...
At the same time, on the other side, Hirakawa and Kazuno were beaten terribly.
After all, the Gui army's wolf soldiers here brought 4 Maxim rifles and 4 mortars.
The Maxim is much more powerful than the Czech type.
Especially the mortars, which directly used pepper bombs, and the wind direction was blowing towards the Japanese.
After the pepper bomb exploded, the Japanese soldiers who were not killed were choked and their noses and tears were running.
The brigade's infantry artillery was about to prepare for bombing when a gust of hot pepper wind blew over, choking the artillerymen so much that they burst into tears and coughed and gasped, making it impossible for them to aim and fire.
Without the assistance of artillery, the Japanese infantry could only rush forward like mad.
But under the wolf soldiers' mortars and the crazy firepower of light and heavy machines, the Japanese charging troops fell one after another.
Plus the support from the wolf soldiers that came later.
The Japs' military strength is constantly decreasing.
Pingchuan and Ye were so angry that their eyes were blazing and their teeth were gritting.
"General, the enemy is too numerous and their firepower is too strong. We can't defeat them at all!"
"Report, the attack from the artillery position has been repelled, and the enemy is madly chasing our troops!"
"General, please retreat quickly. If you don't, we will be surrounded from both sides!"
"Bagaya road!"
One of his men was trying to persuade him when he was shot in the head by Pingchuan Heye.
The other men were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
"Bagayalu, everyone, put on your bayonets, charge!"
Hirakawa Kazuno had no other options.
Although they had just used light and heavy machine guns.
But they were so shocked by the pepper bombs that tears were streaming down their faces. Even though they had put on gas masks, they were unable to conduct effective shooting.
The bullets fired couldn't hit anyone at all.
Once their heavy firepower, including light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, opened fire, they would attract bombardment from the Black Wolf Army's grenade launchers and mortars, or continuous shooting from light and heavy machine guns.
Up to now, their light and heavy machine gunners and grenade launchers have basically all been killed, and no one dares to take over these light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers for fear of being killed again.
But Hirakawa Kazuno knew it very well.
Once Eagle Fort is lost.
Even if he withdrew, he would be removed from his post as brigade commander and might even be asked to commit suicide by disembowelment to thank the Emperor.
Besides, if he retreated, he would be handed over to the Black Wolf Army, so it was questionable whether he could retreat.
Now, he had no choice but to charge forward and fight the enemy with bayonets, perhaps there was still a glimmer of chance of winning.
For a moment, under the threat of Hirakawa Heye, the remaining Japanese soldiers put on their bayonets and rushed forward without caring about their lives. Even when facing artillery fire and bullet strafing, some of them kept falling down, but they still rushed forward.
Unfortunately, the team coming up from behind had already made a detour to the left and right.
Facing the three-sided attack of the Black Wolf Army, the Japanese had no chance to rush to the front of the Black Wolf Army to fight with bayonets...
The sound of gunfire continued throughout the Eagle Castle.
It was not until more than an hour later that all the gunfire gradually stopped.
All the brothers of the Black Wolf Army cheered.
Jiang Zhengzhong's men were especially excited.
"Captain, the boss is so loyal. He hasn't taken us out to fight for more than half a year, and when he did, he brought back so many 105mm and 150mm cannons!"
"These are 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers! The range is ten kilometers!"
"The entire 10-kilometer radius around Feiying Fort can be bombed!"
"Where's the old man?"
In the excitement, everyone was looking for their boss Yuan Shuai.
"Don't look for it anymore, just clean up the battlefield quickly, the boss will definitely come over!"
Jiang Zhengzhong said one sentence and asked everyone to clean up the battlefield quickly.
Yuan Shuai actually ran over.
Although he won a great victory, he did not dare to be careless. He arranged for people to pick up Xiao Shitou and Goudan, and at the same time arranged for people to contact Monkey to inquire about the situation.
The monkeys have stopped fighting.
After they defeated the Japanese, they were leading their men towards here.
It was already five o'clock in the evening.
There is only one hour until dawn.
As Yuan Shuai quickly ran to the artillery position, he shouted loudly.
"Xiao Jiang, notify everyone to dismantle the artillery!"
"Dismantling artillery? This is Feiying Fort, such a high mountain, with so many long-range artillery. We are not afraid of more Japanese invaders. How can we dismantle artillery?"
"Yes, Boss. We can stay here. If the devils dare to attack, we can use long-range artillery to bomb them. No matter how many devils come, we will kill them all!"
Jiang Zhengzhong and his brothers certainly didn't want to leave.
We finally get out to fight in a war, we can't go back to training after the fight.
Besides, the terrain here is really great, and there are so many 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers, and so many shells, no one wants to leave.
Yuan Shuai explained helplessly with gritted teeth.
"This place is indeed great, but the shells will eventually run out. We have no ammunition supply, so what will we do if we run out of shells?"
"And we don't have enough anti-aircraft weapons and ammunition! Without anti-aircraft guns, if the Japanese carry out high-altitude bombing on us, we can only wait to die here!"
"There is still an hour until dawn. After dawn, the Japanese will definitely send planes over. Hurry up!"
"I... dismantled them all! Transport them away, quickly!"
Jiang Zhengzhong had no other choice. He didn't want all his brothers to die here, so he could only order the team to dismantle the artillery.
However, Hu Dacai ran over with an excited look on his face.
"Boss, good news! Good news!"
"What good news? Look how happy you are. Could it be that there are Japanese women here?"
One of the brothers laughed jokingly.
"Hey, what good news is this for Japanese women? Anti-aircraft guns! I actually found five anti-aircraft guns in the Japanese arsenal!"
"Anti-aircraft guns?!"
Everyone's face was filled with astonishment.
What they lacked was anti-aircraft guns.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese had anti-aircraft guns here, five of them!
