A "boom" explosion suddenly sounded in the middle ......of the ranks.

The black smoke was visible from afar, and at least three soldiers were killed and wounded and fell around the point of impact.

The captain was blinded for a moment, and before he could react, the second shell had already followed.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The explosion rang five times in a row before stopping, and a section of the team that had been shelled had been blown into disarray, and many soldiers had fallen to the ground, their lives unknown.

The escort aircraft reacted quickly and pounced on the artillery positions with a "buzzing ......".

The roar of the plane grew louder and louder, like an eagle that had spotted its prey, slanting into the ground.

When there were still one or two hundred meters above the ground, he quickly climbed higher and dropped a bomb in the belly of the plane at the same time.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The bomb flew to the ground with a screeching sound and soon exploded in the forest more than 500 meters from the road.

Fireballs and black smoke rose into the sky, and the captain could see it clearly.

It took two seconds for the thunderous explosion to reach everyone's ears.

"Sir, the mortar that shelled us just now was destroyed by the plane, I can see it very clearly, the impact point is less than ten meters away from the mortar, and it will definitely be blown into scrap metal!" The adjutant stood beside the captain of the group and was happy to report.

"I saw it!" The captain was in a very good mood.

He shouted proudly: "Now that the Eighth Route Army has no mortars, I see what they can do to sneak attack us." ”

"This stupid Eighth Route Army actually attacked us with artillery under the nose of the plane, and they were simply looking for death."

"Clean up the battlefield immediately, and the troops continue to advance."

A few minutes later, the adjutant caught up with the captain and reported with a hint of concern: "Sir, the losses just now have been counted. ”

"We were killed three soldiers and wounded 17 others, 15 of whom had to be carried on stretchers on the march."

The destruction of the mortar of the Eighth Route Army by the plane brought the good mood to the captain of the brigade all of a sudden, and he scolded.

"Eight Tooth Road!"

"It was not easy to get rid of more than 200 wounded in front, and in less than half an hour of normal rapid marching, there were seriously wounded again."

"This must be a deliberate effort by the Eighth Route Army to slow down our march with the seriously wounded."

The adjutant immediately comforted: "The chief is angry......"

"Now we only have a dozen seriously wounded, we can send some more soldiers to take turns to carry them, and the speed of the march should not be affected too much."

More than 200 seriously wounded had just been lost half an hour earlier.

Although they were abandoned in the name of the queen, there was still a lot of criticism among the troops.

Fortunately, the commotion was not too big, and officers at all levels quickly suppressed the criticism.

If you drop the seriously injured again, the criticism will definitely spread again in the team, and it will not be so easy to suppress it again.

If there are too many criticisms, the morale of the troops will certainly be affected, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

So these dozen seriously wounded must not be lost, after thinking for a while, he ordered helplessly: "You go and make arrangements, arrange four soldiers for each seriously wounded, and take turns to carry them on the march, so as to ensure that the stretcher team must keep up with the current speed of the troops." ”

The sneak attack just now did not seem to affect the speed of the Japanese puppet army's march, but this was only the beginning.

Five minutes later, the familiar sound of heavy machine gun fire suddenly sounded on a high ground 300 meters away.

A dense stream of bullets flew towards the marching procession.

There was cover from planes in the sky, and there was not even a tree on the high ground where the guns were fired, bare, without any cover. If the Eighth Route Army hid there and attacked the Imperial Army, it would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit and bombing of the planes.

Therefore, the Japanese puppet army was more worried about the bushes under their feet and not far away, and they were afraid that there would be mines and bullets coming out of it.

There is no wariness of that high ground.

Caught off guard, the Japanese puppet troops lined up in a row were like live targets, swept down by bullets flying from the side.

The escort aircraft reacted quickly.

The machine guns mounted on the high ground were too conspicuous.

It was covered with thatch just now, and when it looked down from the air, it looked like a haystack no matter how it looked, and it did not attract the attention of the pilot.

In order not to interfere with the shooting, the thatch that covered it after the shot had to be lifted so that the pilot could see it at a glance.

Without waiting for an order from the ground, he flew the fighter plane towards the high ground.

When the plane approached the high ground, the heavy machine gun had just emptied the fourth bullet plate, and it had been firing in less than half a minute.

The pilot sneered, slowly adjusted the direction of the plane's dive, and put the heavy machine gun position into his crosshairs.

At this time, a scene that shocked the pilot appeared.

In the past, when encountering such a situation, the Eighth Route Army must have carried a gun, hurriedly shifted its position, and desperately tried its best to keep its weapons.

However, the dive speed of the plane is very fast, and the power of the aerial bomb is also great, and the Eighth Route Army will carry a heavy machine gun weighing more than 100 pounds to transfer, and the speed will definitely be affected, and no matter how desperate it is, it will not be able to escape.

This is also the scene that the pilots like to see the most, blowing them up with aerial bombs during the retreat and transfer of the Eighth Route Army.

Kill all the equipment and soldiers in one attack.

The Eighth Route Army in front of you is different.

In the face of themselves who began to dive, they dropped their heavy machine guns, which were more precious than their lives, and ran around separately, as fast as rabbits.

By the time the bomb button was pressed, they had already run twenty or thirty meters away from the heavy machine gun position.

If the bomb hits the machine gun, the Heavy will be wounded, but they will definitely survive.

If the bomb misses, only the Eighth Route Army, which is closest to the bomb, will be killed and injured, and the others will definitely be intact.

But one thing is certain, the heavy machine gun that has been trapped in its own crosshair will definitely be blown up.

The Eighth Route Army was notoriously poorly equipped, and if this heavy machine gun was blown up, even if the machine gunners were alive, they would lose their combat effectiveness because they were not equipped and could not threaten the retreating troops on the ground.

This is the only place where the pilot can talk about solace at the moment.

The group leader also saw the picture of the heavy machine gun being blown up and was in a good mood.

His thoughts, like the pilot, the loss of a heavy machine gun, the machine gunner did not threaten himself alive.

But the good mood lasted less than two minutes before being interrupted by the adjutant's report.

"Sir, one person was killed and 15 were wounded in the heavy machine gun attack just now, but all of them could not march on their own, and they had to be carried on stretchers."

The heavy machine gun that had just sneaked up must have been deliberate, deliberately staring at the stomach and legs of its subordinates.

This is the thought that pops into the captain's head in an instant.

Otherwise, with the huge power of the heavy machine gun, more than a dozen people were shot, and under normal circumstances, at least two-thirds would have died.

And now only one person has been killed, it must have been deliberately done by the Eighth Route Army.

This is so unusual that it is by no means an accident.

The captain vaguely felt that there was a conspiracy here.
