Chapter 340 Xiang Chu's Supervisory Team Appears in Luodian
Led by the brigade commander, the remnants of the 201st Brigade risked their lives to charge towards the Japanese positions.
At this time, rumbling sounds of artillery were heard on the small hill above Xiang Chu's troops.
Countless grenade launcher shells poured down on the 201st Brigade.
Xiang Chu growled, "All grenade launchers, fire, target the enemy's frontal positions, and cover the 201st Brigade. Everyone else, follow me and charge to take the high ground in one fell swoop. Charge!"
"Yes!"
The supervisors all responded in unison.
Everyone knew that Xiang Chu could easily use a grenade launcher to take down the small hill, and doing so was simply to cover the charge of the 201st Brigade.
There was a rumble of cannons and shrill gunfire, and people fell down every second.
Xiang Chu led 360 supervisory team members, rushing up the small hill, firing wildly with light machine guns and submachine guns.
On a small hill, there were ambushed four Japanese grenade launcher teams, three combat teams, and one machine gun team, which was equivalent to a reinforced Japanese squad.
They were attacking in the direction of the front battlefield, but they didn't expect that a troop that was extremely good at camouflage and stealth would come up from behind.
Under the terrifying firepower, the Japanese soldiers on guard were killed first. Among them, when they turned around, they were shot into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets.
Ning Qiang took out a grenade, and Xiang Chu stopped him loudly:
"Don't use grenades, we need their grenade launcher shells and bullets."
Liu Zhengxiong slapped Ning Qiang and shouted, "Fool! All the Japanese are dead."
Indeed, more than 300 submachine guns and Type 99 light machine guns had wiped out the Japs.
The small hilltop was littered with Japanese corpses and boxes of bullets and shells that had not yet been opened.
"Boom! Boom!"
The grenade launchers below had fired shells towards the main enemy position.
The distance was a bit far, and the bomb only reached the edge of the Japanese main position.
Xiang Chu shouted, "Kong Kong! Tell them to come up and bombard. Lao Liu! You take one group and stay behind to bombard the main enemy position with the grenade launchers here. Groups two and three, follow me and charge."
"Yes!"
Kong Kong and others hurriedly accepted the order.
The bombing by Japanese aircraft and artillery became more and more intense, and dense bullets flew across the battlefield like rain, leaving no gaps.
Liu Zhengxiong grabbed Xiang Chu and said anxiously:
"Boy! So many women are thinking about you, let me lead the brothers to charge."
"I have too many debts of love to pay back. I'll talk about it in my next life."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, pushed his hand away and rushed into the night like the wind.
"Boy! Just marry them all, what else is there to return? Woohoo!"
Liu Zhengxiong yelled loudly, tears welled up in his eyes, and he roared,
"Quick! Cover the director with the grenade launcher."
The supervisory team members holding grenade launchers below also rushed up.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless grenade launcher shells flew towards the main position of the Japanese.
In an instant, the Japanese main position was engulfed in flames.
These are the Japanese soldiers from the 11th Division, the ace troops in the Japanese army, the elite among the elite.
They jumped out of the position made of corpses, one group attacked the 201st Brigade, and the other group rushed towards the small hill.
Xiang Chu led a team of more than 300 supervisors to sweep away thousands of Japanese soldiers with Type 201 light machine guns and submachine guns, and threw grenades from time to time. The fierce firepower shocked the st Brigade and the Japanese soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, half of the Japanese soldiers fell under the dense rain of bullets.
The Japanese squadron leader pointed at the supervisory team and exclaimed: "China has never had such a terrifying army. What is going on?"
The Japanese radio operator asked anxiously: "Captain! Do you want to request aircraft and naval artillery support again?"
"Bang!"
A bullet pierced through the Japanese radio operator's helmet, and the Japanese radio operator fell to the ground with a bang.
"Baga! There's also a sniper rifle."
The Japanese squadron leader roared in anger and quickly lay down.
"Bang!"
A sniper bullet flew into his head.
Xiang Chu rolled over and moved to his shooting position, threw the sniper rifle to Gan Rong, and said with a smile: "Gan Rong! In the future, you must first eliminate the Japanese commander, radio operator, and machine gunner on the battlefield."
"Yes!"
Gan Rong hurriedly accepted the order.
He aimed his sniper rifle at the Japanese machine gunner, pulled the trigger, and the Japanese machine gunner fell down.
"Quick! Move."
Xiang Chu pushed Gan Rong down, and a bullet grazed Gan Rong's head.
Gan Rong was surprised and said, "Director! The Japanese's shooting skills are so accurate?"
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Each of the Japanese soldiers can hit the target with 5 shots within 5 meters. Before the Battle of Shanghai broke out, British military observers gave the Japanese soldiers a very high evaluation of their shooting level: A!"
After a pause, he said, "This is the A-type division of the Japanese. They are well-trained, powerful, and very difficult to deal with."
"Director! We are here."
Liu Zhengxiong shouted and led the grenade throwers on the small hill to Xiang Chu's side.
Xiang Chu ordered: "Quick! Keep blasting forward!"
"Yes!"
Everyone accepted the order in unison.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless artillery shells flew into the center of the Japanese position, and there was another sea of fire.
"kill!"
Xiang Chu roared, picked up the Type 99 light machine gun and rushed towards the Japanese position.
The supervising team members were fearless and followed behind him, fighting and charging.
Under the powerful firepower, the Japanese soldiers were unable to raise their heads.
The Japanese captain was so angry that he yelled: "How come this Chinese army has so many imperial grenade launchers and machine guns?"
His chief of staff, who was wearing a pair of glasses and was a former military academy instructor, said solemnly: "Captain! I have just carefully observed that this unit is the Xiang Chu Supervisory Combat Team."
"Xiang Chu's team is not dead?"
The Japanese captain cried out in surprise, pointing at the radio operator and shouting,
"Quickly report to the commander, Xiang Chu's supervision team has appeared in Luodian."
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
A Japanese captain wearing ghost-like clothes immediately ran forward and said excitedly:
"Captain! Since Xiang Chu is not dead yet, Xiaoye will kill him now."
The Japanese captain shook his head and said, "Ono Yuichi! Xiang Chu is too strong. He just killed Captain Tanaka with a snipe. You should go and kill the Chinese general with a snipe."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Cai Bingyan who was leading the charge.
Ono Yuichi bowed and said, "Ha! Ono, kill the Chinese general first, then kill Xiang Chu."
After saying this, he ran out like the wind.
"Boom! Boom!"
Countless shells fired from grenade launchers hit the area not far from the Japanese battalion command post.
The Japanese captain shouted: "Quick! Artillery squadron fire attack."
But the Japanese Chief of Staff shook his head and said:
"Captain! The artillery squadron is now out of guns and ammunition."
"what?!"
The Japanese captain was stunned.
Although they were not afraid of death, it was mainly because of the advanced weapons and equipment, especially the sufficient artillery shells, that they inflicted heavy losses on the Chinese army.
Now that the shells were used up, they were finally unable to hold out under the fierce attack of Xiang Chu's commanding team and the remnants of the 201st Brigade.
At this time, Cai Bingyan led the remnants of the 201st Brigade into the center of Luodian.
Xiang Chu led the combat team to make a detour and encircle the Japanese troops to the east of Luodian.
The vicious Japanese captain shouted loudly: "Quick! Use poison gas bombs."
The Japanese Chief of Staff hesitated and said, "Captain! Using poison gas is a violation of the Hague International Convention."
The Japanese captain was so angry that he yelled, "Baga! You really should go back to your NCO school. Since our superiors have allocated poison gas bombs to our unit, we are allowed to use them."
"Hello!"
The Japanese chief of staff hurriedly accepted the order.
"Boom! Boom!"
Several poison gas bombs hit the center of Luodian and landed among the officers and soldiers of the 201st Brigade.
This was the first time the Japanese used poison gas bombs after their full-scale invasion of China, and the officers and soldiers had no idea what was going on.
Several poison gas bombs fell and the officers and soldiers instinctively lay down.
However, it was found that the poison gas bomb did not explode, but emitted bursts of green smoke.
A squad leader joked: "The Japanese have run out of shells, so they fired some duds."
"Well!"
A soldier foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground, and twitched continuously.
Immediately, several officers and soldiers fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
Cai Bingyan shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! This is a poison gas bomb."
"Brigade Commander, be careful!"
The captain beside him suddenly stood in front of him.
A bullet hit the captain's forehead and he slowly fell to the ground.
"Damn little Japs! Kill them!"
Cai Bingyan roared in anger and rushed forward with a submachine gun.
All the officers and soldiers of the 201st Brigade followed him and charged forward fiercely.
At this time, fierce gunfire sounded behind the Japanese command post.
Cai Bingyan was overjoyed and shouted:
"Brothers! The supervision team is coming from behind the devils."
Indeed, Xiang Chu led the combat team and broke into the command post of the Japanese battalion.
The Japanese captain never thought that he would be surrounded.
He straightened his uniform and said calmly: "Call the Commander! The Xingshang Wufu Battalion will fight with the Chinese Xiang Chu Du Combat Team until the last man, and we would rather die than surrender!"
"Hello!"
The Japanese radio operator hurriedly received the order.
At this time, Xiang Chu led countless supervisory team members and rushed into the command post carrying light machine guns and submachine guns.
Xiang Chu pointed his Type 99 light machine gun at the Japanese in a command post and said jokingly in standard Tokyo accent:
"Signature operator! I'll wait until you finish sending the telegram."
