Chapter 281: Reluctantly Asked (Second Update!) )
"The artillery stops, the blocking troops are killed, and today we will give the devils a beating of the water dogs!" Li Hao, whose eyes had been staring at the battlefield, ordered.
In less than two minutes, a total of 21 shells were fired from the mountain artillery, killing and wounding at least 40 devils.
Combined with the 11 light and heavy machine guns of the blocking force, the two Japanese infantry squads escaped with less than 30 people.
Machine guns, grenadiers, all thrown on the battlefield, all riflemen, like lost dogs, fled in the wilderness.
The more than 80 Japanese puppet troops gathered in the assembly area were even more miserable.
The mortar has a fast rate of fire, and the artillery platoon has a long training time, so it is very easy to fight.
Although it was also three guns, with a two-minute firing time, it fired nearly forty shells.
A cannonball kills a devil, and that's half of the little devil gone. And in fact, it is clear that there is more than one devil killed and injured by a single shell.
"Comrades, kill ...... with me"
After hearing the order, Zhao Wen rushed out of the major general with the first Czech construction.
The tiger descended from the mountain, unstoppable.
While rushing forward, the Czech-made in his arms hugged the fire, looking like a killing god.
Bullets flew past and burrowed into the backs of one little devil after another.
"Comrades, rush! Kill all the little devils......"
Machine gunners, riflemen, all rushed out like chicken blood.
"The heavy machine gun continues to fire, intensify the firepower, stare at the back of the devil, and cover the counterattack of the attacking troops!" The leader of the heavy machine gun squad ordered with a serious face.
From the time the shots were fired, the fire of the two heavy machine guns had not been interrupted, and the bullet casings had been piled up in a small pile at the firing position.
The tongue of fire more than a foot long continued to erupt from the muzzle, and the bullets flew closely behind the devil with the swing of the muzzle, and the devil was constantly hit, and he fell to the ground with a scream.
"Retreat, retreat immediately, the Eighth Route Army is here!" Jun Cao shouted anxiously,
The bullets fluttering in his ears made him feel that death was approaching him step by step, and the whole person couldn't help but run faster and faster, without the slightest idea of staying to stop the pursuers.
"Sir, the firepower of the Eighth Road is too fierce, if we keep running, we will all be killed by them!" One soldier reminded, his face full of panic.
"Run separately, disperse the pursuit firepower of the eight roads, how many can survive, and those who can survive will go directly back to the county seat!" Jun Cao continued to shout.
Nearly twenty devils immediately separated, in groups of two or three, fleeing for their lives everywhere.
Zhao Wen saw the devil's purpose at a glance, and then ordered: "The third platoon and the fire platoon will continue to chase and kill the remaining little devils on the highway with me, and the fourth platoon will scatter to pursue the other devils, and if you can kill one more devil, you will kill one more!" ”
chased out all the way for two kilometers, because he was afraid that the lone army would be bitten by the devil in depth, Zhao Wencai ordered the troops to retreat.
On the entire pursuit road, there was a corpse lying every tens of hundreds of meters, and nearly thirty devils died under the pursuit of the independent company all the way!
"Company commander, we won, all the pursuing troops have returned, there are a total of 125 corpses of little devils found on the battlefield, and some corpses were directly blown into minced meat by shells, there is no way to count, but there are definitely no more than forty devils who escaped......"
"A company of puppet soldiers killed and wounded 68 people, and 37 are alive and captured by us!"
"The only problem is that there are fewer weapons seized! Because of the heavy use of artillery, a lot of weapons have been blown into parts! ”
"I have to bring all the parts back with me, maybe it will be useful sometimes!" Li Hao replied without thinking about it.
"You just tell me how many guns are left to use!"
Zhao Wen hurriedly replied: "There are still 62 79 caliber rifles left that can be used, 59 of the 38 big covers left that can be used, and almost 100 rifles have been blown up!" ”
"Nine crooked machine guns, four were blown up, and five remained. It's good to make a good one in the Czech Republic! ”
"Eight pistols, two box guns, all good."
"The best thing is the ammunition, the ammunition carried by the Japanese puppet army with the army was only used less than one percent, and all the rest were captured by us, and because they were scattered on each soldier, they were not blown up, and nearly 10,000 rounds of 65 caliber bullets were captured, and nearly 5,000 rounds of 79 caliber bullets were also captured!"
Li Hao was very satisfied with this result: "Enough, with these equipment, we can form an infantry company in the future!" ”
"As for the ones that were blown up, we can't help it. If artillery had not been used, the battle would not have ended so quickly, and the casualties of the comrades would have increased considerably! ”
"So I'd rather those weapons and ammunition be blown up than see more casualties in the troops!"
"Besides, the real purpose of our fight in this battle is to kill a few more devils and reduce the pressure on our follow-up operations, not to capture weapons!"
"Order the troops to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we are ready to retreat~"
"This time we went straight back to Hongquan Village. First go to the assembly area for a night's rest, and tomorrow we will set off during the day and return to the station! ”
The Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu County, Watanabe Nakasa's face is very unsightly!
Staring at the combat sand table for half an hour.
Half an hour ago, the receiving unit that he had sent out had returned.
However, more than 300 Japanese troops and the Imperial Allied Army only came back, and the baggage team that went to meet them did not encounter them, and disappeared without a trace!
Watanabe Nakasa had a hunch that the baggage team was over.
After learning that the baggage team was attacked by the Eighth Route Army last night, and more than half of the escort troops were killed or wounded, Watanabe Nakasa had this premonition. Then, without thinking about it, he sent more than 300 receiving troops out of the city to protect the baggage team.
Unexpectedly, something happened in the end.
Not only the baggage team, but even the receiving troops sent out by themselves were killed and wounded, and almost all the troops were wiped out!
"It must have been the Eighth Route Army that attacked us!" Watanabe judged as he stared at a pair of eyes that could almost breathe fire.
"They are too cunning, and there are endless levels of means, which makes people unguardable, only they can take out the baggage team in such a short time!"
"Then use the mountain artillery captured from the baggage brigade to ambush the receiving troops I sent out, and crush them with artillery fire!"
"Such a cunning opponent, all kinds of conspiracies are one ring after another, and they are simply unguardable!"
Ida Nakasa hesitated for a moment and asked, "Watanabe-kun, what are you going to do next?" Watanabe Nakasa replied with a painful face: "There is no baggage ammunition, and now even the combat units of the Imperial Army have suffered more than half of the casualties...... If you rashly enter the base area of the Eighth Route Army, you will definitely become the fat in the mouth of the Eighth Route Army, and there are many dangers! ”
"I'll contact Your Excellency General right now and continue to replenish my ammunition supplies and artillery, preferably three hundred new recruits!"
"What's more, this time the replenishment of ammunition must strengthen the escort force to ensure that there are no more accidents on the road!"
Ida Nakasa's eyes lit up and he replied, "This means that Watanabe-kun will stay here for at least two days!" ”
Watanabe Nakasa thought for a moment and replied, "At least two days, but I guess it's more than three days!" ”
"The Eighth Route Army will definitely try its best to prevent those ammunition from being delivered to the county seat!"
"There are so many ammunition and baggage, they can only be transported by carts, and they can only be transported by road. If they destroy the road, the transit time will definitely increase significantly! ”
Ida Nakasa immediately replied: "If that's the case, I have a reluctant request, and I still hope that Watanabe-kun agrees?" ”
