Chapter 14 Withdrawal of troops
The sudden violent explosion made Saburo Maeda not dare to move, and this bold hooligan leader of Kanazawa City also felt scared at this moment. The earth shook, the loud noise echoed in his ears, and just when Saburo Maeda thought he was going to hang up today, the explosion finally stopped.
After all, Hu Fei didn't have too many explosives on hand, and it was impossible for him to lay out an explosion belt several kilometers long on the road. The bomb was only buried a few dozen meters away, but the effect of its explosion was astonishingly large. The Japanese soldiers at the center of the explosion were the group of people who felt it the most, and the 50s and dozens of devils of the Muto squad who directly stepped on the bomb suffered more than half of the casualties in just a few minutes!
The shuddering and terrifying explosions finally stopped, but the fierce gunfire followed. Saburo Maeda was afraid of landmines, but he wasn't too worried about the gunshots. In terms of individual weapons, the Japanese army was much stronger than the armies of various factions in China at that time. Saburo Maeda, who has been in China for some time, understands this very well, and as long as the two armies start a frontal fire, the Japanese army will soon have the advantage!
"Otaro! Dog Taro! Maeda Saburo squatted there and didn't dare to move his position, and called Second Lieutenant Muto at the throat of his male duck.
Someone not far away weakly answered, "Maeda-kun, what's the matter with you?" The voice sounded familiar, and of course it was Second Lieutenant Muto Hontaro.
Saburo Maeda turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, Second Lieutenant Muto was lying on his stomach twenty meters away, covered in dirt. There was a blood stain on the side of his face, but his head and limbs were the same. "Otaro, what are you doing climbing underground? Where was the injury? ”
"I'm not hurt. Ouch, my ears! My ear hurts! Second Lieutenant Muto clutched his ears and screamed in pain, his voice already showing a crying tone.
Maeda Saburo was in a hurry, and he didn't care about any danger or not, so he stood up and quickly ran to Muto Hontaro. Upon examination, it was found that the man's ear had been bruised when he fell, a wound the size of a quarter of his thumb, from which the blood had flowed.
"Well, it's just a scratch, not a serious injury! Hurry up and gather your troops and fight back! Immediately launch a counterattack against the hateful Shina! Don't grind, move fast! Seeing that Second Lieutenant Muto was not seriously injured, Saburo Maeda breathed a sigh of relief, but in the next sentence, he once again ordered his commander as a subordinate.
Not to mention, Muto Hontaro still eats his set. Letting Maeda Saburo roar at this voice, Second Lieutenant Muto immediately regained his courage and began to loudly order his ghost soldiers to gather.
The gunfire was still fierce, and Ji Jinbiao and Xiong Wei led their respective cavalry units to quickly strangle the remaining devil soldiers on the road from both sides. After Hu Fei hit a devil officer, he knocked down a devil soldier with the second shot. There was a gunshot from a distance, and it should be that the military engineering team was ambushing the devil's reinforcements. Hu Fei aimed at the next target.
Two hundred meters away, Saburo Maeda suddenly squatted down, and a bullet flew past his scalp. Maeda and other soldiers let out a cold sweat in his head.
"Hell!" Hu Fei frowned, he didn't expect that this shot would be high! Just as he was about to make up for another shot at this lucky devil, Hu Fei suddenly found that there was a devil officer not far from this devil who was holding an Oriental sword and gesturing something. Good boy, that's you! The muzzle of the gun changed a little bit, and as soon as a gun rang out, another bullet was instantly discharged!
Second Lieutenant Muto Hontaro, who was only ten steps away from Saburo Maeda, raised his command knife and shouted to the soldiers of the squad to hurry up and return fire. Suddenly, Saburo Maeda was heard calling his name. Second Lieutenant Muto instinctively turned around and asked, "Is there something wrong with Maeda-kun?" ”
As soon as he said this, his head suddenly tilted to the side, as if he had been punched hard. Immediately after, a liquid like red blood spurted out, and the sole of Lieutenant Muto's foot tripped for a moment, and then fell to the ground, his hands and feet twitched a few times and he didn't move.
"Gotaro!" Maeda Saburo let out a sad cry and hurriedly rushed to him, but Second Lieutenant Muto had already been shot in the head and returned to the Yasukuni Shrine. A deep sadness welled up in Maeda's eyes. Where can I find a boss like this who respects him more than he does his own son? In the future, if there is a boss who doesn't listen to the call, won't his good life be over?
"Shoot! Shoot! Eight Tooth Road, Shoot Fast! In order to avenge Second Lieutenant Muto, Saburo Maeda took over the command of the battlefield on his own, commanding the devil soldiers to start shooting desperately!
The gunfire in the distance of the highway was getting closer and closer, and Hu Fei knew that it was the devil's reinforcements who had broken through the interception of the martial arts team and were coming this way, and there was not much time left for him!
"Pass my order: all units of the Independent Cavalry Brigade will immediately move to Tianlong Mountain. Gou Tianxiao's first company opened the way, and the supplementary company was the second echelon; The second company of cavalry responded with two wings; Yang Jinsheng's 3rd Company and his subordinate troops followed suit; After the fourth break of the cavalry! After receiving the order, the troops immediately began to move in the order of marching! ”
"Yes!" The signal soldier agreed loudly, and immediately rode fast horses in several ways to inform the troops. Hu Fei quickly withdrew from the battlefield with his independent cavalry brigade.
When Sasaki Osa arrived with the main force of the detachment, what he saw was the six members of the forward squad who were still holding the road, as well as less than fifty puppet soldiers and traitors. His avant-garde force of 300 people is now only 56 people left!
The 69th Wing came out in the form of a detachment to carry out the law and order rectification operation, but he did not expect to be ambushed in the first battle, and Sasaki Osa, as the leader of the detachment, naturally felt very shameless. Isamu Sasaki, who was annoyed, called Saburo Maeda over and reprimanded him severely!
According to the practice of the Japanese army, once a subordinate makes a mistake, the rude superior will definitely slap a few times and scold a few times. However, for Saburo Maeda, the leader of the big hooligans, not only did Second Lieutenant Muto respect him as if he were his father, but even His Excellency Sasaki Daisa, who was the captain of the wing, was unwilling to offend Maeda's senior soldiers.
Discipline is training, and scolding people is not a word; It's even more impossible to hit someone. In the end, after the training was completed, Sasaki Osa temporarily appointed Saburo Maeda as the leader of the forward team. Among the remaining six people in the team, Maeda is the highest-ranking soldier, and no one else has a problem choosing him as the team leader.
Dazuo drew thirty more men from other units and reorganized the forward squad. Captain Maeda set off with his squad of soldiers held their heads held high.
Since Hu Fei sent out to break the rear was a cavalry, in his flexible and fast continuous small-scale harassment operations, the devil's pursuers could not concentrate on the pursuit at all. The battle with the cavalry lasted for most of the day, and when the ghost-like cavalry was once again repulsed, Maeda Saburo suddenly found that he couldn't find a target to pursue! He's lost the enemy!
