Chapter 215: The Road Back Is Hard to Secure
Now that the operation has been exposed, Kuramoto Futake knows that a covert raid is no longer possible. Since this was the case, he simply stood up and roared:
"The grenadiers suppress the enemy in Nanshan, the heavy machine guns cover, and the Imperial Allied Army is the vanguard, ready to attack!"
With Kuramoto's roar, the twelve devil grenadiers quickly ran out of their hiding places, and quickly lined up the six grenadiers on the yellow earth. After a short range measurement, the six grenades were gently placed into the barrel, and as the devil moved the hammer, the grenades instantly whistled and flew out.
Boom ......
After a precise three-round salvo, thick smoke rolled into a cloud halfway up the steep South Mountain. In the sound of the explosion, the soldiers of the second company of a squad of eleven people hiding in the mountains were completely drowned in the smoke of gunpowder.
……
The sudden sound of gunfire suffocated the quiet mountain village, and the villagers put down their things in surprise and ran out of the house to the yard as if they were running for their lives, running around at a loss.
At this moment, puffs of smoke rose from the south mountain opposite the village, and the explosion that followed completely tore apart the last comfort of the mountain village, announcing the arrival of a killing.
In a courtyard on the west side of the village, the closed door of the house was slammed open, and Shen Cunzhi and Hao Ping rushed out of the house one after another.
Looking at the smoke and explosions rising from Nanshan, Shen Cunzhi's face darkened!
"Oh no, the devil has come in! Trumpeter, blow the assembly trumpet! All assembled! ”
Honk...... Doodoo Doodle ...... Doodoo Doodle ......
In the short assembly call, he took a deep look at the smoke on the mountain, and Shen Cunzhi immediately turned to look at the instructor Hao Ping and said:
"Lao Hao, the secret sentry has fired, which means that the devils have touched the edge of the village, I will take a platoon and a second platoon to resist the devils, and you immediately let the third platoon go to the west entrance of the valley to occupy a favorable terrain, and you must hold the retreat of the whole company!"
I'll leave you with the four platoons, and you take them to help the villagers evacuate quickly, and they must be fast, first run along the valley to the west, and then let them hurry into the mountains! ”
After years of cooperation, the two almost understood each other, Hao Ping did not have the slightest nonsense, and ran out of the yard with only one sentence of paying attention to safety.
"Three platoon commanders!"
"Here!"
"Immediately take people to the west entrance of the valley to occupy the favorable terrain and prevent the devils from blocking our retreat!"
"Yes!"
"Follow me in the fourth row!"
Just as Hao Ping rushed out of the courtyard, the soldiers of the second company, which were close to 200 people, had also been quickly assembled. As soon as he went out, Hao Ping sent three platoons to guard the retreat, and immediately took the four platoons of people and ran towards the chaotic village.
Walking out of the courtyard with a cold face, pulling out the twenty rings on his waist, Shen Cunzhi looked at the two reinforced platoon soldiers with more than ninety people in front of him, and his eyes swept in front of everyone one by one.
"Comrades, the sound of gunfire is the signal! The little devil has been killed, we have to buy time for the villagers to evacuate, everyone is afraid! ”
"Don't be afraid!"
The veterans in the team blushed and were the first to shout, and the recruits, encouraged by the veterans' emotions, also roared.
Nodding, Shen Cunzhi pointed to the east where the gunshots rang out, and shouted at the top of his throat:
"Comrades, rush up with me and kill the devil!"
……
To the east of the village, as the gunshots rang out, a squad in a platoon was helping a villager repair their house.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, they immediately put down their work, picked up their guns, and quickly defended themselves against the courtyard wall on the outskirts of the village.
Soon, dozens of yellow figures of the Japanese puppet army appeared in front of them.
Bang bang......
A row of guns passed, and the two puppet soldiers who were in the lead less than 100 meters away were the first to be shot and fell to the ground, and then the two devil soldiers who pressed the formation were also shot one after another.
When encountering the blockade, the devil puppet army immediately lay down on the spot, and then the sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun rang out.
Da Da Da ...... Da-da-da-da.
The sound of crumbling beans came one after another, and the dense bullets immediately sent the rubble of the wall that the soldiers used as bunkers to fly.
A few fighters couldn't dodge and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt of accurate bullets, and many more were overwhelmed from looking up.
However, the only consolation is that this section of the wall was actually built of rubble due to the fact that it was in the mountains. Therefore, despite the frenzied heavy machine gun fire, it was difficult to penetrate the wall and injure the fighters who were hiding behind.
After the heavy machine gun suppressed the counterattack, the Japanese puppet army, under the command of Kuramoto, immediately pressed on the waist.
Soon, the Japanese puppet army approached the periphery of the village, and several devil soldiers took the opportunity to throw out a few grenades, blowing down a few holes in the wall, and the soldiers who were hiding behind had nowhere to hide, and they were soon sacrificed, and the Japanese puppet army also took the opportunity to rush to the edge of the village.
At this moment, with a shout of killing, dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army crossed the wall from another direction and entered the courtyard, and then encountered the Japanese puppet army that had just rushed over.
Under the leadership of Shen Cunzhi, a platoon quickly fired a dense burst of grenades, turning the Japanese puppet soldiers who had almost rushed to the edge of the village on their backs.
In the smoke of gunpowder, bursts of dense volleys of guns were fired, and the devil puppet army, which was a little blindfolded by the grenade, was immediately knocked down seven or eight.
In this way, the Japanese puppet army forwards who rushed into the village were actually beaten out alive.
However, as soon as the two sides disengaged, the devil's light and heavy machine guns immediately had room to vent, and a dense rain of bullets came, and the platoon that rushed to the front fell more than a dozen fighters in an instant, and the second platoon was slightly better, but there were also seven or eight casualties.
"Find cover! Beware of concealment! ”
Seeing the soldiers fall in rows, Shen Cunzhi hurriedly roared loudly. The devil actually had two heavy machine guns, which made his heart jump suddenly.
The next moment, Shen Cunzhi suddenly realized something, and hurriedly stood up and shouted:
"The first platoon took cover, and the second platoon immediately retreated and dispersed and concealed in the village! The second platoon is retreating! Hurry up ......! ”
Hearing the roar of the company commander, the machine gunners in a platoon immediately set up the Czech type and fired at the Japanese puppet army who was lying on the ground not far away, and the other fighters also gritted their teeth and fired back under the leadership of the platoon commander.
At the same time, the second platoon also hurriedly ceasefired, and the cat trotted towards the courtyard.
Less than a minute later, just as the second platoon was about to withdraw to the village, the position of the first platoon was suddenly enveloped by a thunderous explosion.
In the midst of the rumbling explosion, a series of Type 89 grenades flew into a row of hidden yards, blowing up the things in the yard and causing heavy casualties to the platoon.
Dodging a fatal grenade, Shen Cunzhi finally stood up with the support of the soldiers. Shaking his buzzing head and looking at the fighters who kept falling in the explosion, he felt his heart dripping blood.
"Holy shit, get out of the row! Remove......! ”
……
Eventually, when the bombardment of the grenadiers was over, Kuramoto led his team into the village. And Shen Cunzhi, although they temporarily delayed the pace of the devil's attack, they paid the price of more than 30 people killed, and even more were injured.
But even so, Shen Cunzhi and the others did not withdraw from the village easily, but scattered in the village as a squad and fought street battles with the Japanese.
Although Kuramoto and the others easily rushed into the village, they also had nothing to do with Shen Cunzhi for the time being, but they could only attack one courtyard after another.
And Shen Cunzhi relied on grenades and cold guns, and for a while the devils were inseparable.
……
On the west side of the mountain village, Hao Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the villagers dragging their families into the mountains. The villagers were safely transferred, so that the second company finally had no biggest constraint, and the next thing was to break through decisively.
Thinking of this, Hao Ping immediately led the soldiers of the fourth platoon to rush back, preparing to go back to meet Shen Cunzhi and their withdrawal.
Listening to the dense gunshots and explosions in the village, Hao Ping and the others were already very anxious.
……
Da-da-da-da! Bang bang!
Suddenly, a czech-style light machine gun and the sound of Hanyang-made sound rang out on the western slope of the North Mountain.
Hearing the gunshot, Hao Ping chuckled in his heart.
It's not good, the three rows and the devils are on fire!
What the gunshots meant Hao Ping knew very well, in order to hold the retreat, he arranged three platoons early to occupy the western slope of Beishan. At this time, the three platoons opened fire, indicating that there must be a Japanese puppet army trying to block the retreat of the second company after going around!
Thinking of the result if the third row couldn't hold the hillside, Hao Ping suddenly became anxious.
"Four platoons long! You immediately take people to the village to pick up the company commanders and them, and tell them to withdraw quickly! Just go! ”
After the words were closed, Hao Ping pulled out his gun and rushed to the west slope of Beishan with a few soldiers of the company.
……
At this time, the devils on the western slope of the North Mountain originally tried to go around the mountainside to the west entrance of the valley, but they did not want to be suddenly intercepted by the three rows occupying the commanding heights of the western slope.
……
The captain of the bridge squad lay on the edge of a fallen dead tree, raised his binoculars and looked at the eight-way blocking position on the mountain, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but grow.
He had already led people around this way, and he should have reached the west exit a long time ago. However, what he didn't expect was that at the foot of this northern mountain, there were actually several traps set by the hunters in the village.
Not long after entering the forest at the bottom of the mountain, three soldiers of the bridge fell into the trap of the hunter, and one of them was ...... to death because he fell into the deep pit and was stabbed into a chrysanthemum by a bamboo stick.
Looking at the wounded and screaming soldiers, Ohashi had to order to slow down the march to prevent any more soldiers from accidentally touching the trap.
In this way, it was not until the villagers had fled into the mountains that they finally managed to make their way through the trap-ridden forest.
Now that I finally arrived at the designated location, I found that the favorable terrain had been occupied by the Eighth Road, so how could I not make the bridge very annoyed.
However, although the captain of the Ohashi squad seemed to be angry to outsiders, in fact, Ohashi himself was really glad in his heart.
Ohashi knew very well that although he would not be able to occupy a favorable position when encountering resistance, at least it showed that he had not calculated that it was too late. If you finally arrived and the eighth road has already left, then you really can't eat and go around.
What kind of person is Squadron Leader Kuramoto Futake, he really knows best. If he let the enemy go because of his own reasons, Kuramoto might really let himself apologize!
…… To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation! Thank you for your support!
