Chapter 145: Hi Leather Cow Night!
Not only did Qian Lu not expect Liu Cheng to come, but even Youji Falcon didn't expect it.
In his opinion, at this time, Liu Cheng's best and only choice was to escape to the mountains and forests, otherwise he would definitely send troops to annihilate him in one fell swoop when Nomura Toshio vacated the space.
Ono Taro's death made the trace of contempt for the guerrillas in Ariyoshi's heart completely disappear, otherwise he would not have dared to fight directly after knowing that the Youth Battalion occupied Wudou Township.
But even so, Ariyoshi Hayabusa didn't think that the Junior Battalion or the Independent Division could compete with Nomura Toshio.
Whether it is called a guerrilla force or a current independent division or a youth battalion, it is just a name, they are indeed a team composed of a group of ordinary people, although the combat effectiveness is indeed good, and they have obviously received systematic and professional training, but in the eyes of Yuji Hayabusa, it is still impossible to defeat their imperial army.
At least, it is not possible in the case of equal numbers.
The reason why Ariyoshi did not dare to go was not because he had no confidence in the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, nor because he did not have confidence in his command ability, but because the number of soldiers in the junior battalion was more than five times that of the Japanese army in Panshi, and Ariyoshi felt that the odds of victory were too small, so he did not go.
Liu Cheng took the nine people around the city for a whole day, basically figured out the situation in the city, and left the city before dark.
Naturally, going out of the city was to get weapons, and of course, there was also Liu Chengcheng's "gift" carefully prepared by Ariyoshi Falcon.
Ten people, including Liu Cheng, were all "configured": a rifle, a shell gun, and fifteen grenades.
Liu Cheng's rifle was naturally the Type 38 rifle with a 2.5x optical scope captured in the First Battle of Wudou Township.
A large part of the reason why the guerrillas chose to develop in counties and townships such as Panshi and Huadian was that the Japanese troops stationed in these counties and townships were indeed small, and as long as they were flexible and mobile, the possibility of being annihilated was relatively small, and another reason was that most of these counties and towns did not have city walls, or the city walls were seriously damaged, and it was relatively easy to enter and exit.
Quietly entering the city without alarming a few devil sentry posts, it was not difficult for the nine people brought by Liu Cheng.
After entering the city, Liu Cheng immediately dispersed the nine people, each of whom drilled into the alley to get close to the gendarmerie.
And he himself turned on the roof of a house about a hundred meters from the gendarmerie.
The location is good, the height is suitable, and the view is wide, with a complete view of the surroundings of the gendarmerie and the courtyard.
As soon as the rifle arrived, Liu Chengcheng couldn't wait to give it a try, but there was no point in shooting targets or animals, so until now, he has not fired a shot.
(I don't know if anyone will say that the protagonist has psychological problems, but I can only say that there are, and few people who have experienced war are completely normal.) )
Through the scope, Liu Cheng saw that the nine soldiers had arrived at the designated position one after another, and immediately inhaled and concentrated, adjusted the muzzle of the gun, and aimed at the Japanese soldiers with machine guns on the watchtower at the head of the wall.
Liu Cheng had never fought a sniper rifle on the battlefield in his previous life, and after the second Guohong cooperation, he had seen a few Mauser rifles thrown in the armory and no one used them, but he had never seen a scope.
When he first used a sniper rifle to hit a target, Liu Cheng was already in his fifties, so this was the first time in his two lives that he used a sniper rifle to kill someone.
Adjust breathing, muzzle stabilization, trigger pre-compression, final fine-tuning, gunshot......
The bullet swirled at high speed and struck the Japanese soldier in the forehead with unmistaken accuracy, and after a fist-sized hole in the back of his head, it disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
The sudden gunfire startled everyone, and the sleeping Yuyoshi Hayabusa even rolled over and jumped from the bed to the ground.
But before he and the Japanese soldiers could fully react, they heard a second gunshot, and the Japanese soldier standing guard in front of the gendarmerie fell to the ground, just like the corpse that fell from the watchtower, and was killed by a headshot!
At this time, hurried footsteps began to sound in the courtyard of the gendarmerie, and the Japanese soldiers who had just been sleeping were already dressed and quickly assembled with their weapons.
The combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers is not simply reflected on the battlefield, but can also reflect the overall quality and strength of an army in such an unexpected situation.
There were more than fifty people, and there was not a single panicked shout, only a few crisp and short assembly whistles.
Liu Cheng did not shoot again, because it was no longer necessary.
The nine men had already jumped out of their hiding places, crossed the main street, and threw their grenades into the courtyard of the gendarmerie.
Originally, according to Liu Cheng's plan, the nine people threw all the grenades on their bodies before retreating, but the reaction speed of the Japanese army and its calmness made Liu Cheng have to give the order to retreat in advance.
He shot down a ghost soldier who wanted to rush out of the courtyard of the gendarmerie, pulled out the shell gun in his waist with his backhand, fired three shots in the sky, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in a low voice:
"Little devil, hi Cow Night!"
The three gunshots were his predetermined code:
If all the grenades are thrown, he retreats on his own, and if something unexpected happens, he fires three shots to signal immediate retreat.
Discipline, especially discipline on the battlefield, Liu Cheng has repeatedly emphasized since the day he became the battalion commander, and he also pays great attention to shaping the sense of discipline of the soldiers, so these nine people began to retreat almost at the same time the moment they heard Liu Cheng's retreat code, without the slightest delay or hesitation.
Fifty or sixty grenades generally rained down into the courtyard, and no matter how strong the Japanese army's combat strength was, it was simply powerless to parry.
Although the landing points of these grenades could not be covered in all directions, and the casualties of the Japanese soldiers were not too large, they still looked like they were crazy.
Although he has a little cowardice, he is barely a qualified Japanese soldier, and it is impossible to be afraid of death, but if someone is stuck in a "jar" like this and throws a grenade, it is estimated that no one will be calm.
By the time the explosions gradually stopped and the Japanese soldiers went out to check, Liu Cheng and the ten people had already left Rock City.
The nine men threw out a total of 60 grenades, killing nine Japanese soldiers on the spot, seriously injuring three and lightly wounding 14; If you count the three people killed by Liu Cheng with that "sniper rifle", there are a total of twelve people.
The courtyard of the gendarmerie was bombed by Liu Cheng and there were pits everywhere, and Ji Falcon stood in the courtyard and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, the soldiers who had gone out to pursue and inspect came back and reported to Ariyoshi Hayabusa:
"Report to the captain, after we chased out of the city, we found no trace of the Zhina people!"
"Yaga!"
Yuji Hayabusa smashed his fist on a small tree beside him, shaking off a cloud of snowflakes.
On the way to Panxi, Liu Cheng and his ten people were sitting on a horse-drawn plow, speeding through the snow.
This horse was the same horse that rented the carriage at the time, but now it has been bought by Liu Cheng to pull the plow.
It was Liu Cheng's temporary decision to go to Panxi, because they still had dozens of grenades left, and Liu Cheng planned to clean up the Japanese puppet army guarding the railway......
