Chapter 283: Night Blockade
The explosion of gunfire and grenades did not stop, and the Japanese soldiers who followed the pursuit firmly entangled Zhao Zhi and them like maggots on tarsal bones. "Green" is different from Zhao Zhi's helplessness in the night, the Burmese in the Japanese army are as fast as in the dark as in the day, fortunately they fought a little worse, otherwise Zhao Zhi's gang would have been miserable. It's just that under the cover of night, the goats can't guarantee that they will hit the Burmese, otherwise the situation will be slightly better, and they will not be so embarrassed to be chased.
The goat took over the command after Zhao Zhi fell unconscious, in order to block the Japanese army trailing behind, he had to order the submachine gunners to block the enemy's pursuit again and again with the intensive fire of the submachine gun, but after the goat consumed a lot of bullets, the Japanese army still chased up again and again, and they swore not to give up if they did not destroy Zhao Zhi. For Zhao Zhi's safety, the goat divided the rest of the people into two parts, Mantou led the grenadiers to carry Zhao Zhi first, and the goat took the submachine gunners to cover the break, and the gap between the two groups was only 100 meters.
In the dark night, they couldn't see anything, the steamed bun led people to carry Zhao Zhi and ran desperately on the plain, there was no stretcher, they had to directly grab Zhao Zhi's hands and feet, fortunately, there were gunmen left by Uncle Guo along the way to guide them, so that the goats would not lose their way. The men of the battalion were evacuated in three waves, each with a mile between them, something that Roger often talked about during his training in Ledo, and which was deeply imprinted in the bones of the soldiers.
"Go, go, go" as the guard of the goat always reminded them to retreat in time when passing through the broken rear soldiers, and the resistance at Tukan just now made the direct battalion lose 5 brothers, which made the number of dead in the direct battalion rise to 40, that is to say, there are only 160 people left around Zhao Zhi, and these 160 people also include wounded brothers. There are already 24 goats responsible for collecting the soldiers in the back, leaving 3 soldiers every 500 meters as guides, which means that the goats are already 4 kilometers away from the ridge just now.
"It's really fucking painful" Zhao Zhi, who slowly woke up, couldn't help but exhale in pain, and the soldier carrying him immediately slowed down, but did not put Zhao Zhi down, the soldier who carried him had already changed several times, and the only way to leave here as soon as possible was the best policy. The bodies of the fallen brothers had been left on the plain and could not be taken away, so they had to be left here first. "Put me down first, I can walk by myself" It was very uncomfortable to be carried like this, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but scream.
"Wake up, sir, wake up" The news of Zhao Zhi's awakening was passed to the steamed buns walking at the head of the team by the grenadiers who carried him, and the steamed buns who had been keeping a straight face eased a little, but there was still not even a trace of a smile on his face. Zhao Zhi's re-injury was regarded as his dereliction of duty by the steamed buns, Yuan Qingqing and Linda repeatedly explained that they wanted to be optimistic about Zhao Zhi when they left, but now Zhao Zhi was injured again, although it was only a few shrapnel abrasions, but it was indeed that he did not fulfill his duty.
"Have all the brethren withdrawn?" Zhao Zhitou, who was helped to stand up, asked the steamed bun in one sentence, and the dog was sent to a team with Uncle Guo, and he didn't ask who the steamed bun asked. The goat had already confessed that he didn't let everyone tell Zhao Zhi about the actual casualties, so the steamed bun only nodded desperately, but he didn't dare to tell Zhao Zhi the truth. "Which one of these people is not long-eyed to provoke our steamed bun uncle again, look at that face is like a donkey" Zhao Zhigan's steamed bun joked, and the steamed bun just smiled good-naturedly, and did not stare at the laughing guys around him as before.
"What about the goats? Where is he? Zhao Zhi looked around, but did not find a goat in the crowd around him, and couldn't help but raise his voice a few points. After he was injured, the goat was the highest-ranking officer in the rear team, and it stands to reason that the goat should take over his command of the rear team with dozens of people. But he looked around twice, but he didn't find the goat, which made Zhao Zhi have a bad feeling in his heart, you must know that the goat has never left his sight except for the front guard.
"The goat is fine, he is responsible for breaking the road, gathering the brothers who will guide along the road, and he will come up in a while" Seeing that Zhao Zhi was a little anxious, Mantou hurriedly told the whereabouts of the goat, which made Zhao Zhi stabilize his mind. As the two men spoke, there was a sound of running from behind them, and the goats ran back with a dozen panting soldiers.
"You're awake" Seeing Zhao Zhi standing on the ground, the stone in the goat's heart finally fell to the ground, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head, he just looked at Zhao Zhi's wounds. Regardless of Zhao Zhi's resistance, the goat and the grenadiers easily held down Zhao Zhi, and under the illumination of several flashlights, the goat gently uncovered Zhao Zhi's military uniform and checked the wounds on his body. Fortunately, the wounds were not too serious, they looked like they were just shrapnel abrasions, and the blood stains were wiped clean and re-bandaged.
"The old cannon is 2 miles in front of us, and my uncle is less than a mile in front, and there are our brothers along the way to guide us, it is estimated that we can get out of this plain before dawn" The goat changed the gauze on the wound for Zhao Zhi, and told Zhao Zhi the current situation one by one. The goat knows how many bowls of rice he eats, and it is already very difficult to carry dozens of scouts in normal times, but now he has to take the entire rear team, not only to evacuate safely but also to guard against the pursuit of the Japanese army behind, which is simply fatal. Therefore, after seeing that Zhao Zhi had woken up, he still decided to return the command to Zhao Zhi, and he just got those scouts right.
Zhao Zhi, who had seen through the goat's careful thinking, glanced at the goat angrily, put on his military uniform with the help of steamed buns, and stood up slowly. "It's all rested, then continue to hurry, and then rest when they meet with the old artillery" The goat was still sent by Zhao Zhi to stay behind to guard, the submachine gunner was placed in front to open the way, and the rest of the people carried other wounded people to stay in the middle with Zhao Zhi, and the group rushed in the direction guided by the soldiers.
There was another sound of submachine gun fire behind the "Da Da", which was the brother who had been left behind by the goats to be on guard. "Sir, the little devil is catching up again, Huzi, they are blocking in the back, we don't have enough bullets" A bloodied submachine gunner rushed back, his chest magazine empty in his pocket. When the goat heard this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the steamed bun, signaling for him to leave with Zhao Zhi first, but unexpectedly met Zhao Zhi's angry eyes.
"Mantou, you bring 30 brothers over and bring back our broken people. Goat, you take 60 brothers to retreat 50 meters to set up a defensive line and wait to meet us, and the rest of the people will stay here with me to set up a defensive line, ready to block the Japanese army" Zhao Zhi took his submachine gun from Mantou's hand, pulled the bolt, and then urged Mantou and Goat to act according to the order. There was no dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhi's steamed buns, which had always been obedient, but he just glanced at the grenadiers, and hurriedly left with 30 submachine gunners and rushed to the back of the dense gunfire.
It's just that the goat was not satisfied with Zhao Zhi's order, he just ordered one of his sergeant scouts to leave with the soldiers first, but he stayed by Zhao Zhi's side and was reluctant to leave. "We don't have any heavy weapons to cover or anything, such a trivial matter as establishing a defensive line, my subordinates will naturally do it, I'll leave it behind" The goat's face was thick-skinned once, but he kept pretending to check his submachine gun, and didn't dare to look at Zhao Zhi's expression. Watching the goat keep unloading the magazine and loading the magazine, Zhao Zhile was happy, but he didn't debunk the goat's trick in person.
The sound of hurried footsteps came, and the scouts who were in ambush along the way did not blow the bamboo whistle, indicating that it was their own people who came, and it should be steamed buns and they came back. It was indeed the steamed buns that they came back, but in just ten minutes, counting the dozen or so brothers who had broken off Huzi, the steamed buns only brought back less than 30 people, which means that in these ten minutes, more than a dozen brothers died in battle. "Sir, I didn't bring all the brothers back, Huzi and they are all dead, and a few of the people I brought with me have also died" Mantou lowered his head with some self-reproach, and the broken Huzi was already a sergeant, and he was the guy with the most hope of being promoted to an officer among the submachine gunners.
"Fighting, there will be immortals there, even if we ourselves have that day, it's not your fault" Zhao Zhi patted the steamed bun's head comfortingly, and at this time he realized that the steamed bun that had always seemed to be strong was just a child. It's just that when Zhao Zhi sighed at the steamed buns, he forgot that he was only a few years older than the steamed buns, and he was just a child in the eyes of the old soldiers and ruffians of Uncle Guo, a child who was slightly older than the steamed buns and dogs.
"Mantou, take your people back 60 meters to establish a defensive line, and let the goat's gang move forward 20 meters" Zhao Zhi forced Mantou to leave with his people first to establish a third line of defense, if the three lines of defense could not repel the Japanese army, then Zhao Zhi had to gather all the strength in his hands to fight to the death with the Japanese army. Without staying too long, the steamed bun took people away, and also took all the grenadiers and all the grenades, obviously Zhao Zhi didn't want to use grenades in the first line of defense, he wanted to keep the only heavy firepower to use in the third line of defense, to surprise the pursuing Japanese army.
"Coming" A thatched scout rushed back, he was the last scout to retreat, and his lurking position was 20 meters away from Zhao Zhi and them. "Ready" Zhao Zhi gestured, and the goats and submachine gunners held their breath in unison, focusing all their minds on the front. The sound of a swish came, and although it was very soft and small, the goat, which had focused all its attention on the front, heard it, and it was the sound of something walking through the grass.
"Fire, fire" Zhao Zhi, who was reminded by the goat, first pulled the trigger, and the hot bullet sprayed out of the muzzle with Zhao Zhi's roar, and the others also subconsciously pulled the trigger. The simultaneous firing of dozens of submachine guns was extremely spectacular, and the metal torrent fired by dozens of submachine guns swept everything within 30 meters in front, and at the same time, it also completely exposed Zhao Zhi's position. "Retreat, retreat" emptied his first magazine, Zhao Zhi shouted and ordered to retreat, and if he stayed any longer, he would definitely be counterattacked by the Japanese army, and Zhao Zhi did not want to lose his brothers here.
It was only 30 meters away from the second line of defense composed of people under the goats, and Zhao Zhi and they rushed over in just a dozen seconds, but when Zhao Zhi evacuated, he let his soldiers scatter bullet shells all the way, so that when there were pursuers sneaking through the night, they would step on or kick these bullet shells, so as to send out a warning sound, so that Zhao Zhi and they could attack in time. It seemed that Zhao Zhi and the others had caused a lot of casualties to the pursuing troops just now, at least they had launched another tentative approach after ten minutes.
"It's really a guy who doesn't know whether to live or die" The bullet casings scattered in the grass made a sound, and Zhao Zhi made a vigilant gesture, he wanted to wait for these guys who were hidden in the dark and ashamed to see people to get closer. Closer, closer, Zhao Zhi slowly held his breath, Zhao Zhi now has more than a hundred gunners around him, a concentrated fire shot is enough to extinguish one of the opponent's infantry squads, Zhao Zhi doesn't want to just kill a few path-finding minions and retreat, he has to wait for the other party to fire when there are enough people. The sound of bullet casings being kicked became more and more intense, especially in the place where Zhao Zhi and the others had just evacuated, which should have been a Japanese brigade coming up.
The visibility was only a few meters, and when the first steel helmet appeared in Zhao Zhi's sight, he finally gave the order to fire. "Gather fire, gather fire" Hundreds of gunfire burst out in an instant pierced the night sky, and the metal death net formed by the dense bullet rain firmly enveloped Zhao Zhi and them within 30 meters in front of them, and the bullet rain was almost pressed layer by layer against the ground, so no matter whether the Japanese army was standing or lying on their stomachs, they could not escape the baptism of bullet rain.
"Let's go, let's go" No matter what the battle situation was, Zhao Zhi still ran out of magazines and ordered a retreat, carrying the dead and wounded brothers to the defense line of Mantou, which was also the last line of defense. After most of the night of running and counterattacking, the submachine gunners had a lot of physical exertion, and some of the brothers had begun to fall behind, but fortunately Zhao Zhi arranged for the goats to collect the people behind, otherwise the number of missing among Zhao Zhi's people would greatly exceed the number of casualties.
This line of defense of Mantou was placed in front of a gentle slope, and after blocking the ten thousand pursuers, all the people could disappear effortlessly into the plain in the dark night along the gentle slope. After everything was arranged, something disappointed Zhao Zhi happened, half an hour passed, but the chasing soldiers who were waiting were not seen for a long time, and Zhao Zhi, who had no choice but to evacuate by himself with the wounded and wounded brothers, went to chase after the uncle who was a mile away. ~ To see the first ad-free, please go to "Green"
