619 Sorrow (4th Watch)
As the fierce battle continued, the guard company and the team quickly withdrew to the eastward slope, as Zhou Daniu expected, although the Japanese fire line was very long, but the local defense points were very weak.
The enemy was not numerous in number, but only a charge, and after the sacrifice of several comrades, the eastern slope was occupied by the guard company.
However, to the shock of the soldiers of the guard company and the task force, not a single enemy body was found after the position was occupied.
What does this mean?
This cunning little devil did not choose to hold the position, and should have evacuated with the sacrificial devils.
For this reason, Shigeo Shimaji is also very helpless, the troops he brought this time are limited, but seventy or eighty people, who can achieve the current favorable situation after the outbreak of a short battle, has already relied on a sudden sneak attack.
Now that the guards have come to their senses, the difference between the forces of the two sides is too large, even if the Japanese army has submachine gun firepower in hand, Shigeo Shimaji understands that if he continues to fight, his team will suffer heavy losses, and it may not be able to eat the eight roads in front of him.
The combat effectiveness of the guard company was much stronger than he had imagined.
Of course, this is not all the reason why Shigeo Shimaji chose to order a retreat.
The most important reason is that he originally thought of himself as a poisonous snake hidden in the grass, ready to jump up at any time and give the enemy a fatal bite.
But now he found that a poisonous snake seemed to have entered his ranks.
He had never heard of this poisonous snake, and he knew very well that if he did not evacuate with his team, he would be completely buried under the mouth of this poisonous snake.
The commando of the crazy third regiment of the Eighth Route Army!
It was the first time that Shigeo Shimaji had come into contact with such a small combat unit of the elite Eighth Route Army.
He was aware of the surprise attack of Duan Peng and his party, and it was only after he suddenly found that his team had lost nearly thirty percent in the blink of an eye.
Such a death rate is simply unacceptable for Shigeo Shimaji.
Since the formation of this team, he has carried out no less than ten missions in his hands, and each time he has been able to exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest victory, and then retreat with all his body, and the sacrifice like this has greatly exceeded his expectations.
The only time the two went head-to-head was five minutes earlier, when Shigeo Shimaji personally commanded the small, insignificant woodland operation.
He didn't even know how many of the enemy were, probably found two or three, but the price he paid was the death of six soldiers on the spot.
Everyone died in the same way, one shot killed, after the sneak attacker fired, in the blink of an eye, he would disappear in the woods, just like a ghost in this forest, and every shot must be accompanied by the lives of Shigeo Shimaji and his party.
The last thing Shigeo Shimaji saw was a figure covered with withered yellow leaves, jumping down the mountain stream, nearly 100 rounds of submachine guns shot at the place where the figure's front feet left for more than ten seconds, the bullets hit the ground into potholes, but not even the shadow of the enemy.
What a hellish enemy this is!
How could there be such a strong team in the Eighth Route Army that was ambushed by itself?
Shigeo Shimaji didn't have time to think about it, but realized that if he didn't choose to retreat, he might die at the hands of this poisonous snake.
In addition, the guard company successfully occupied the eastward Tupo position, and Shigeo Shimaji immediately ordered to retreat.
A sudden crisis was lifted.
When Duan Peng and his party came out of the forest, there was an unfamiliar face in the team, an enemy who had been captured by the commando team in the woods of Fang Cai.
To the surprise of the commandos, this enemy was not a ghost, to be precise, a Chinese, a traitor translator.
But he was also afraid of death, and when Duan Peng asked coldly, everything was as it was:
"We are the 9th Squadron of the 23rd Infantry Wing of the 360th Regiment, and we were specially selected by General Yoshio Shinozuka for training, and formed an advance team to destroy Han Feng, the commander of the 3rd Crazy Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
We have a total of 150 people, including some non-combat special personnel, such as spies and translators, as well as communications troops.
We have radio stations, direct contact with headquarters, and even call in Air Force support.
As for this mission, yes, we stumbled upon it by accident.
Captain Shigeo Shimaji recently inquired about the news, I heard that the Eighth Route Army is preparing to go south to Nakajo Mountain to open up a base area, and several avenues and passes will definitely be guarded, but Captain Shigeo Shimaji thinks that the Eighth Route Army likes to fight guerrilla warfare and drill woods, and if it goes south to Nakajo Mountain, most of them will also go from the mountains, so he took us to try our luck and investigate the situation by the way. ”
Duan Peng continued to ask: "What else?" If there's anything else you know, say it. ”
"No, Chief of the Eighth Road, you know, the devil will never fully trust us, especially a translator like me who can only be a translator, my authority is very small, just like this ambush on you, I just acted according to orders, and I didn't know about it at all."
Most of these traitors are like this, they are very arrogant in the hands of devils, and once they are captured, they immediately become honest, Duan Peng estimates that this traitor translator has limited knowledge, so he doesn't ask more.
At this time, Jiang Youcai returned, with injuries on his body, but the most ugly thing was his face, with irrepressible grief, when he saw Duan Peng, his eyes turned red in an instant, "Captain, old bag him...... sacrificed, and the second baby also ...... Even the remains of the two of them...... They were all snatched away by the little devils. ”
Duan Peng was stunned, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest as if he had been pricked by a needle, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Jiang Youcai said sadly: "When Lao Bao took the comrades in the vanguard to investigate, some comrades accidentally tripped over the devil's trick, and Lao Bao blew up his back in order to save the two little comrades.
When the second baby led people over, he was attacked by the devil hiding in the dark, and there were also snipers in this devil, and the second baby was hit in the center of the eyebrows and died on the spot. ”
Lehi's whole body trembled with great grief, and he blamed himself: "It's all my fault, I'm really not a fucking thing, I shouldn't have let Lao Bao take them with me at that time, damn it." ”
"Haizi!"
"Captain, you let me kill me, I want to avenge Lao Bao and Erwazi." Lehi seemed to have lost his mind a little in great grief and rage, and staggered to his feet, clutching his gun.
Duan Peng stood up suddenly, and he knocked Li Hai down with a punch that had always respected the veteran members of the commando, and said with red eyes: "Enough, Haizi, Lao Bao and Erwazi are gone, none of us are less sad than you, but have you forgotten what the regiment commander taught us?"
It's sanity, a good commando, and you can't lose your mind at any time.
Naturally, we have to avenge Lao Bao and Erwazi, and avenge all the comrades who sacrificed, but not now, we can't be reckless.
Now the most important task for us is to safely escort the comrades of the task force to the river village. ”
Lehi sat down on the ground, sobbing violently, his voice choked, "Their bodies ......"
"We will definitely get it back, and we will make this team completely regret it."
The old squad leader Liu Zheng is used to seeing life and death, but as soon as this person is old, his eyes are shallow, and tears can't help but roll in his eyes, "I'm not worried about this, you all know the temper of the regiment leader, if the regiment leader knows that Lao Bao and the second baby have sacrificed...... I'm afraid ......"
When Liu Zheng said this, the team members felt even more grief and grievances, wishing that their big brother Han Feng could be here at this moment.
Duan Peng sighed, feeling a little bitter in his heart, he didn't know what the old squad leader said.
Although Han Feng always buried everything in his heart and showed a calm appearance, Duan Peng knew the temper of the regiment leader very well, especially in his personal feelings for his old brothers.
It is no exaggeration to say that these old brothers are one of the rebels of the head of the regiment, Han Feng.
Duan Peng didn't even dare to imagine that, as the old squad leader said, when the regiment leader knew the news of the sacrifice of Lao Bao and Erwazi, he would make such crazy moves.
It seems to be starting to change color......
