Chapter 111 The Battle of the Rice Fields

In order to buy more time for the newly rescued prisoners of war to escape, Hu Biao naturally needed to block the little devils who were chasing after him. Only by hurting these little devils can these little devils not dare to chase too hard.

Hu Biao, who did not choose to take the big road, but chose to take the country road out of the city, made some defensive arrangements in advance. Coupled with the ammunition reserved in the defensive position in advance, Hu Biao was completely confident that he would use this to inflict heavy damage on the pursuing little devils.

Compared with the main road outside the city, this kind of country road is very muddy, and the prisoners of war have stepped on it before, and the little devils who follow the pursuit are also stumbling when they walk. If you can't escape quickly, you can't chase it quickly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil had not yet arrived, looking at the six mortars that had been put together again, Hu Biao became like a magic trick, took out a few boxes of shells from the dug trench and said: "Wait a minute, let the little devil also taste the taste of shelling." ”

Looking at the shells that Hu Biao brought out, everyone also said with a happy face: "Conventional bullets or special shells?" ”

"Regular bullets! Although special ammunition is useful, it must be used with caution. Although there are no people in the vicinity, these fields are cultivated by ordinary people, and if they are polluted by special ammunition, these fields will be wasted, and the people will be injured.

Wait and put the little devil closer, and then use a mortar to cut them off. Now that the black light is blind, the vision is not good, and the little devil has suffered a loss, and he will not dare to follow too closely. When we get to the railway line, we'll give them another hard time. ”

"Yes! Battalion commander! ”

With six mortars to help in the battle, it means that the guard platoon has more long-range firepower than the pursuing imps. In the field, the only weapon that the little devil can carry may be a grenadier.

Similar to mortars and infantry guns, they cannot be transported unless they are carried by horses or people. These six mortars were also carried here by the soldiers of the previous guard platoon when they retreated.

It is rare to capture such a weapon, and how can a soldier who knows the importance of artillery be willing to throw it? After the mortar was disassembled, one person carried one part, and the fighters could still afford it. The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War in these years are all able to endure hardships.

The little devil who followed the pursuit seemed to know that Hu Biao and the others would block along the way. During the pursuit, many little devils who thought shoes were in the way finally chose to step on the rice fields after harvesting with bare shoes.

Looking at the little devil who opened the skirmish line and outflanked him, Hu Biao set up the blocking position on a small slope, lying on the trench and waiting quietly, and said from time to time: "Don't worry, put the little devil closer and bigger, in the muddy field, they can't rush!" ”

Hu Biao, who occupies the advantage of the terrain and digs trenches in advance, is not afraid of the little devils at all. In addition, it has been raining in the sky tonight, and those fields are sparsely stepped on, and it is the same when walking in the rice fields.

The south itself has a lot of rain, and most of the rice fields that have been harvested in winter are soaked in water. As soon as he stepped down, half of his calf was buried in the mud. Even if the people who often do farm work want to run in this kind of field, it is estimated that they will not be able to run too far.

Compared with the pursuing little devil soldiers, most of the little devil officers in charge of the command followed behind the team. Beside them, more soldiers gathered. In the event of a battle ahead, these units are on standby for reinforcements.

When many little devils were about to enter the dry small slope, Hu Biao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately said: "Fight!" ”

The crossfire of more than a dozen light machine guns swept towards the pursuing little devils in an instant. In the face of the sudden machine-gun fire, many little devils didn't care about the water in the fields, and fell to the ground very quickly.

The muddy water mixed with mud suddenly slapped these little devils in the face. The little devil whose sight was lost in an instant couldn't help but curse: "Baga! Damn, why is there so much water in this field? ”

The little devil who does not lie down can only become a live target for machine gun strafing. The little devil officer who was following behind, saw the sudden sound of machine guns in front of him, and also realized that this was the fleeing attacker, a temporarily chosen blocking position.

With the help of the fire generated by the machine gun, the little devil officer said with some annoyance: "Baga! It was a small slope, a commanding height nearby. Damn, the commander of these raiders, it seems, is a very cunning fellow.

Order the 2nd Squadron, immediately into battle, and the grenadier squad, to go and build a position and destroy the enemy's machine-gun positions as quickly as possible. In any case, we can't let these damn guys get away with us. ”

"Hey!"

The large army surrounding the little devil officer quickly formed a battle formation and advanced towards the small slope where Hu Biao and the others were, and at this time, Hu Biao also turned around and said, "Three knives, are you ready?" ”

"Alright, just wait for your order!"

"Good! The old rule is to use up those boxes of shells as quickly as possible, and remember to shoot where there are many little devils. Shoot out the shells, immediately unload the guns and leave. You withdraw first, and I will come after you to meet the railroad outside the city. ”

"Yes!"

Xu Sandao, who temporarily served as the artillery commander, was personally in charge of a mortar, looked at the other five soldiers around him and said, "Listen to my command!" Ready, three, two, one, put! ”

The cannonball in his hand was thrown along the barrel, and Xu Sandao and the others, who quickly bowed their heads, soon heard the sound of 'whoosh' rushing out of the barrel. When he looked up again, he was holding another shell that had just been taken out of the magazine.

After firing three shells in a row, looking at the little devils fleeing in embarrassment near the impact point, Xu Sandao continued: "Readjust the angle of the muzzle, aim at the place where there are many little devils, and quickly adjust!" Fast! ”

After the mortars were readjusted, there were three shelling in a row. Six mortars, eighteen shells fired after three rounds. Near the bullet impact point, the little devils also suffered heavy casualties, and countless little devils hugged their heads and ran away.

The little devil officers who had gathered together before saw the sudden artillery strike, and their faces suddenly changed dramatically: "Na! These guys, there are even artillery. Damn, it looks like our Type 97 mortar! ”

As officers, these little devils can naturally hear that the artillery used by the attackers to shell at this moment is really the 97-type 90-millimeter caliber mortars that their troops are equipped with. In terms of range, it can completely cover their pursuit range.

In order to evade artillery fire, these officers had to order the troops to retreat. In particular, when I saw the artillery set up on the small slope, when adjusting the shelling position from time to time, the pursuing little devils retreated faster and the formation was more open.

Seeing this scene, Hu Biao also sneered: "This should be honest!" Don't be mad, when I'm a sick cat! ”

Hu Biao also hated these little devils behind him. Now with the help of the blocking fortifications built in advance, he has beaten these pursuing little devils hard, and I believe that when they retreat later, these little devils will not dare to follow too closely.

Facing the little devils who scattered and retreated, Hu Biao quickly said: "Pack up your weapons and ammunition, let's prepare to withdraw!" ”

Before leaving, Hu Biao did not forget to lay a few tricky traps in the improvised trenches. For Hu Biao, spending a little time can cause a few more casualties of little devils, and he thinks it is very worthwhile.

The accumulation of small amounts adds up, and there are more little devils killed and injured by the explosion, and fewer soldiers who can push the little devils to the front line to harm the people. Although at this stage, the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is extremely unfavorable to the anti-war forces. But the war will continue in the end.

Whoever can hold out to the end will be able to win this war. In the course of the war, Hu Biao, as a soldier of the Anti-Japanese War, also hoped to kill and injure more little devils and contribute his own strength to the Anti-Japanese War.

When the little devils who regathered together cautiously rushed up the small slope, they naturally unfortunately triggered the trickery set up by Hu Biao. Seeing the sudden explosion, the little devil officer who followed behind was still a little nervous in his heart.

When he learned that it was the soldier who triggered the grenade trap left by the enemy and the position was empty, the little devil officer also had a headache and said: "Order the troops, continue the pursuit!" Distance yourself and follow them. ”

I know that in this kind of field and rainy environment at night, they have become a disadvantage because they are too numerous. Fortunately, this environment also has an advantage, that is, if you follow the footprints left by the other party, you are not afraid of the attacker escaping.

After a detour for a while, Hu Biao, who finally came to the railway line, immediately took Xu Sandao and others to the explosive trap that had been laid before to set up an ambush. He knew that those little devils who didn't give up were still hanging far behind them at the moment!

The only way to completely cut off the pursuit of these little devils is to detonate the explosion trap that was planted in advance. In this trap, there are still a lot of shells that are fed. After the detonation, I believe that the little devil can't care about continuing to pursue!

It's just that Hu Biao was a little surprised that as soon as he withdrew to the railway, Xu Sandao rushed over with Zhao Xian. Listening to Yuan Zhao Xian's report, Hu Biao frowned a little and said, "The little devil is camping near Anhua Mountain? Our camp exposed? ”

"I don't know! I just received a telegram that the little devil had sent a search party into the mountains during the day, and had already exchanged fire with our vigilant troops. ”

From the situation reported by Zhao Xian, Hu Biao knew very well that the snow shame camp hidden in Anhua Mountain was afraid that he would be tricked out by the little devils. In this case, he must return as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Snow Shame Camp won't last long!
