Chapter 37: The First Entry into the Battlefield (Part I)
Zhuang Quan and Chen Dong glanced at each other, and Zhuang Quan aimed at the devil who was driving the truck.
"Wait! Hit the wheel on the left side! Hit the one behind," Chen Dong hurriedly shouted.
That's right! Now the car is making a left-hand turn at a very fast speed, and if the left front wheel explodes, it will be lively! Zhuang Quan couldn't help but secretly admire Chen Dong's experience, he had no theoretical knowledge, but in practice he was still too slow to react.
"Porphyry!"
With a soft sound, a distance of 400 meters, a shot hit the left front wheel, and the car behind it suddenly lost control, and the front of the car turned sharply to the left, which was originally a left turn, so that the huge centrifugal force made the vehicle turn to the right side. It caused even more chaos, and the heavy machine guns mounted on the car were also scattered, and the parts were scattered all over the ground, not to mention that there were dozens of devils and ammunition loaded on the car, etc., which were also damaged a lot.
The key thing is that until now, the devil has not noticed that the tire has been blown up, and it is only regarded as a tire that has exploded.
At this time, Zhuang Quan understood why Chen Dong asked him to hit the back truck first, because the truck in front was still driving forward at this time, Zhuang Quan could aim and shoot very firmly, if it was the front one just now, then the truck behind would definitely stop, sure enough, these valuable experiences are to be slowly accumulated in actual combat.
However, this time the car did not roll over, but just shook its head sharply and then stopped, which made Zhuang Quan somewhat disappointed.
"Hurry up! blow up the rest of the tires!" Chen Dong saw Zhuang Quan pause a little, and hurriedly urged.
"Porphyry!"
"Porphyry!"
"Porphyry!"
After firing all the remaining three bullets, the devils in the previous car got out of the car one after another, lying on the spot, looking for the target in all directions, and this time it was already certain that it was attacked. I didn't hear a sound, so I couldn't tell where the call came from for a while. I don't know how many people there are!
Zhuang Quan and Chen Dong slid backwards down the dirt slope and reloaded their bullets. The place where they were ambushing was actually a ditch that stretched for several kilometers along the road, more than a meter lower than the road.
"Gone!"
Zhuang Quan and Chen Dong bent down and began to retreat quickly, moving along the ditch all the way to Huangqi Town.
Rather than continuing to shoot and being discovered by the enemy, it is better to retreat in time, so that the enemy cannot find the target, and the enemy will be more panicked. At least a few hundred meters around must be searched, enough for the little devil to be busy for a while.
This is already a big mess at the gate of the county seat, and there is a squadron of devils in the Imperial Association Army following the truck, all of them have stopped and are ready for battle. The heavy machine guns on the castle tower also began to move back and forth looking for targets, and the devils in the car that overturned behind them also climbed out of the carriage one after another, and in this way, they had already fallen and crushed several times.
Masakin Kato, who was sitting at the headquarters, soon got the news and was taken aback: "What? He was ambushed at the city gate? How many people were there? Which unit was from?"
"I don't know, I'm still searching around!" replied the signal soldier.
"Baga! bastard, damaged two cars, and even the opponent didn't know it!" Kato scolded angrily.
"Hey, sir, the opponent is shooting from a long distance, and there is no gunfire, so it is difficult to judge the position and number of opponents!" replied the signal corpsman.
"Hmm, there's no gunshot, what kind of gunshot, are the bullets and shells found?"
"Not yet, Captain Yamada is removing the tires and looking for bullets. ”
"Let's go! Find out right away!Wait, let Yamada expand the search area, 400 meters...... 600 meters...... No, search within a range of 800 meters!" Kato Masaken intuitively felt that this was done by Zhuang Quan and his gang.
"Hey!" Although the signal soldier did not understand Chief Kato's intentions, he still resolutely carried out the order.
When the signal corps went out, Kato immediately called Takeo Ishida in Fang Tong Town.
"Report to the sir! I haven't found the whereabouts of the sniper, and I haven't caught Li Dashan! I'm preparing to attack Jianmao Mountain myself. Ishida hurriedly replied.
"You don't have to go! you immediately lead your men and the Imperial Association Army to reinforce Yellow Banner Town. That gang of snipers showed up in my county seat. Kato ordered.
"Hey!"
Ishida immediately carried out the order, led his two squads and six hundred imperial allies, and marched in the direction of Huangqi Town. This time, the Imperial Association Army was led by Sheng Jiu, and Jin Daya was still recuperating from his injuries.
Zhuang Quan didn't know that he had fired five bullets, but it had a great impact, and Kato canceled the order to send troops to reinforce Huangqi Town, although it only broke a few tires, but it also made him jealous. It was not that he was afraid of Zhuang Quan, but that he was worried that the two brigades of the National Army and the Jin Sui Army, which were directly opposite him, were more than 8,000 people and were well-equipped. He now has a total of more than 1,000 devils in his hands, plus Huang Sen's Imperial Association Army is only more than 2,000 people, and he has to be in charge of two towns, Huangqi Town has been divided into a squadron of devils and 300 Emperor Cooperative Army, and there are also two machine gun platoons and an artillery platoon. There are less than a thousand devils in the county now.
This group of people is holding sniper rifles, it is impossible for them to be from the Eighth Road, it is very likely that they are from the national army, but why are they using the 38 big cover gun? This makes Kato feel very incomprehensible and very strange, recalling the scene of the last meeting with Zhuang Quan and others, Kato is very puzzled, and feels that this group of people does not look like people from the national army. But no matter what, the two brigades facing him are Kato's henchmen, who knows if they will attack Huangqi Town openly, but actually attack his Pingdu County. After all, now that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are cooperating, there are many generals in the national army who demand anti-Japanese resistance.
"Report to the chief, the bullets and shells have been found, Captain Yamada asked, can you still go to reinforce Huangqi Town?"
"Oh, the bullet casings you found there, how many tires did you pop in total, are they bullets with three or eight big caps?" asked Kato hurriedly.
"Report to the sir! The bullet casings found four hundred meters away from the county gate were five in total and burst five tires. It's the bullet of the 38 big cover!"
That's right, five bullets and five tires, no missing bullets, it should be that guy. Ordered Yamada, send a team and two hundred imperial allies, bring ammunition supplies to reinforce Huangqi Town, and the rest of the people will return to the county seat, and the whole city will be under martial law!"
"Hey!"
……
During the time when Kato Masakin was tossing back and forth, Zhuang Quan and Chen Dong had been running for almost half an hour, and there were still a few miles away from Huangqi Town, when there was a faint sound of fierce gunfire.
"It seems that there is a war on the side of Huangqi Town, there is a sound of artillery, it should be a devil and someone fighting, there is no national army here, there is a group of bandits, who have also been beaten away, it should be the Eighth Route Army or guerrillas. Chen Dong listened carefully for a while and said.
Whew, wheezing, Zhuang Quan said: "Whatever! Let's rest for a while, eat something and drink some water, I haven't run like this since I was a child!"
"Let's go a little further, let's climb to the mountain on that side, where the telescope can reach, and rest and observe!" Chen Dong said, pointing to the hillside in front of him.
"Okay! Climb up and take a look, I haven't seen a real battle scene yet!" Zhuang Quan said with some excitement.
After running and climbing for more than ten minutes, I climbed over a mountain beam, and I saw a fierce exchange of fire under the mountain in the distance, and now the sound of gunfire is very clear, and I feel very shocked when I hear it in my ears. However, it was still Taiyuan, and the two of them looked like they had moved down a kilometer, found a very hidden hillside, and took binoculars to observe them carefully! They were almost already on the periphery of the battlefield, the terrain was relatively high, and they were far away.
This time I saw it clearly through the binoculars, and on the hillside on the lower left was a group of people dressed in various clothes, armed with a variety of weapons, rifles, torches, shotguns, and earth cannons, and some even carried a large knife on their backs and a hand/grenade in their hands. There were quite a lot of people, and three trenches were dug along the hillside, almost four hundred people.
It is clear that more than 200 Japanese troops and puppet troops are attacking the positions on the hill with all their might, and there are several mortars behind the attacking troops to provide artillery support......
"What kind of troops is this? Stay in the trenches without weapons?" Although Zhuang Quan already knew that this was the Eighth Route Army or a guerrilla, he was still very surprised, the equipment was really poor, just a crooked machine gun, it seemed to be dumb, and he couldn't tell which was an officer and which was a soldier, and it was estimated that the one with the pistol should be an official.
"This should be the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas fighting together, you see, those who wear hats and armbands are the Eighth Route Army, and those who only wear hats and wear ordinary people's clothes are guerrillas. Those who don't even have hats are the people in front of the branch. I have long heard that the equipment of the Eighth Route Army is poor, but I didn't expect it to be so poor, if the equipment of the national army is changed to the Eighth Route Army, this bit of devils and puppet troops can be solved in half an hour. Although Chen Dong has always wanted to join the Eighth Route Army, but when he saw the equipment of this group of Eighth Route Army, he also felt that his scalp was numb, and he didn't look like a regular army at all!
Zhuang Quan and Chen Dong took out the kettle and opened two more canned luncheon meat, of course, these cans had been processed by Wei Baobao at home before they came, and the packaging patterns on the surface were eroded. It's been almost three hours since I ran all the way from Jianmao Mountain to here, and I haven't eaten a little yet, I'm really hungry, you must know that I ran almost half a marathon in these three hours.
"What is this? It's so convenient to use, and it's delicious!" Chen Dong took the dagger and carried the meat into his mouth, it was the first time he had eaten luncheon meat.
"It's canned pork, choking on some flour, seasonings, and preservatives!" Zhuang Quan said simply, holding a Swiss Army knife in his hand, gobbling it up.
"Well, well,......" Chen Dong was also eating as fast as he could, and asked while eating: "How about it?"
"Why don't you fight? How many bullets do you have?"
"One hundred rounds! And a grenade!"
"Almost, I also brought a hundred rounds of ammunition! enough for the devil and the puppet army to drink a pot!"
"Okay! I'm ready!"
"Damn! I haven't eaten yet!"
"Then I'll go to the front and feel the situation first!"
"Good!"
