Chapter 255: Retreat quickly
It was obviously impossible for Sun Weiguo's troops to pass through Hulujian in concealment, and when Sun Weiguo's troops began to march towards Beiru Village, the Japanese troops on Hulujian Heights quickly spotted the advancing Chinese troops.
There were two Japanese infantry squadrons stationed on the Hulujian Heights, and after the two captains and squadron leaders received the report from their subordinates, they immediately raised their binoculars to observe.
Seeing that the troops in gray uniforms were moving in the direction of Beiru Village, the two squadron leaders did not hesitate at all, and they immediately launched an operation.
The flare was quickly shot out, and the two squadron leaders woke up most of the devil soldiers who were still resting, and immediately began to attack.
Their units were armed with light machine guns and grenadiers, which could hardly pose a threat to the Independence Regiment troops at long distances.
If the Independent Regiment is allowed to break out of here, this responsibility is not something they can bear.
Therefore, on the one hand, they used signal flares to inform the main force of their wing, and on the other hand, they quickly launched an operation, they wanted to contain the breakout force of the independent regiment.
The two Japanese infantry squadrons were nearly 400 men, and the Japanese troops had an advantage in numbers.
It's just that they don't know that the Japanese army only has an advantage in numbers, and in other aspects, the Japanese army does not have the slightest advantage.
The troops of the Independent Regiment had a long rest last night, and the troops of the Independent Regiment were also armed with heavy weapons such as artillery and tanks.
On the contrary, the two squadrons of Japanese infantry, who had been on a rapid march the previous night, had not rested for a while when they came to Hulujian when they found the troops of the Independent Regiment.
Two captains, squadron leaders with their own troops, quickly left the Hulujian Heights, where they prepared to launch an attack on the breakout forces of the Separate Regiment from the flanks.
Although the devil soldiers were very tired, they were holding their rifles and quickly entered the battle state.
More than 300 devil soldiers ran quickly towards the front, the devil soldiers' eyes turned red, and they were ready to use their bayonets to deal with these independent regiment troops that broke through.
Sun Weiguo was hidden in an abandoned house, and he held a telescope to observe the movements of the Japanese army.
Seeing that the Japanese troops were about to come to the road, Sun Weiguo showed an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Shoot shells, armored vehicles attack from both sides in a roundabout way!" Sun Weiguo immediately gave the order.
After giving the order, Sun Weiguo lay on the ground, and he set up a crooked light machine gun.
Chen Zhengwei squatted aside with three guards, who were holding Thomson submachine guns with vigilant expressions on their faces.
After Sun Weiguo's evasion, only four guards including Chen Zhengwei were left by his side, and the rest were transferred back to the original unit.
"Bang bang."
The trigger of the crooked light machine gun was pulled by Sun Weiguo, and the body of a Japanese second lieutenant squad leader who was running at the front was hit by three bullets, and he fell directly to the ground.
"Boom, boom."
Three tanks also began to fire shells, and three shells began to explode among the Japanese troops on the move.
More than two dozen Japanese soldiers did not have time to dodge, and they were killed on the spot.
Sun Weiguo continued to use light machine guns to shoot at the Japanese soldiers, and the bullets accurately hit the devil soldiers.
One by one, the ghost soldiers fell to the ground, and each of the ghost soldiers who were hit by a light machine gun bullet died on the spot.
Under the command of Yin Jinshan, three tanks continued to fire shells, and one shell after another exploded in the ranks of the Japanese troops.
Four armored vehicles moved along the left and right flanks of the Japanese troops, and as the armored vehicles approached the Japanese troops, the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles began to strafe.
The armored car headed on both sides was the Type 92 armored car, which was armed with one heavy machine gun and four light machine guns.
Two heavy machine guns and eight light machine guns from two armored vehicles opened fire at the same time, and bullets rained down on the Japanese troops.
The devil soldier lying on the ground immediately counterattacked with his rifle, but the rifle bullet clanged on the armored car, which did not pose any threat to the armored car at all.
The Japanese light machine gun shooters and grenadiers wanted to set up their weapons, but the tank shells focused on them.
Often, before the Japanese light machine guns could be erected, a single shell hit.
The three tanks slowly advanced along the road, the tank machine guns continued to fire, and the devil soldiers in front fell to the ground one after another.
The faces of the two captains at the rear of the Japanese unit turned pale, they just wanted to hold back the breakout of the independent regiment from the flank.
But what they never dreamed of was that here they would be attacked by the armored forces of the Independent Regiment.
The Japanese troops, who were only equipped with grenadiers and light machine guns, had no way to face these steel monsters, and in just a short moment, the Japanese casualties had exceeded 100.
"Click!"
The tank tracks mercilessly ran over the corpse of the Japanese soldier at the front, and the corpse of the Japanese soldier quickly became a mess of flesh.
Bullets from light machine guns and rifles clanged against the tanks, and the Japanese soldiers turned unusually pale as they looked at the tanks that were approaching them.
Retreating, this was their only way, and the Japanese soldiers quickly retreated towards the back.
But the four armored vehicles on either side of them were constantly strafing, and the bullets from the light and heavy machine guns formed a network of firepower.
One of the devil soldiers fell to the ground, and the ground was already red with blood.
"Retreat, retreat." The captain of the squadron shouted loudly.
At this time, several light machine gun bullets hit the captain squadron leader, who had five bullet holes in his chest, and his body fell to the ground limply.
Sun Weiguo's side was full of bullet casings, and he didn't know how many bullets he fired.
Chen Zhengwen, who was in charge of helping to load the bullets, looked at the empty ammunition box, he didn't dare to speak, he could only look at Sun Weiguo worriedly.
When the two sides fight, many people will fall into the situation of magic obstacles, and Chen Zhengwei is worried about this.
Fired the last bullet of the crooked light machine gun, Sun Weiguo let go of the crooked light machine gun, and he glanced at the evacuated Japanese troops.
"Zhengwei, inform Yin Jinshan that the troops should not pursue and quickly leave the battlefield."
Seeing that the Japanese troops were withdrawing in the direction of Hulujian, Sun Weiguo did not give the order to pursue.
He knew that the Japanese reinforcements were likely to come over immediately, and at this time, the armored troops would inevitably suffer losses when they launched a pursuit.
Chen Zhengwei received Sun Weiguo's order, he nodded, and hurriedly ran forward.
As Sun Weiguo's order was delivered, three tanks and four armored vehicles stopped moving, but their artillery and light and heavy machine guns were still firing.
