Chapter 42: The Battle in Front of the Heights

The squadron that the devil opened the way had almost lost in the trap array and the mine array, and His Excellency the captain behind him immediately sent two more squadrons to join the ranks of opening the way.

It was determined that the road was impassable, and the Devil Brigade Captain divided the two squadrons on both sides of the road and searched forward along the road, trying to find a smooth enough road.

With the experience of the squadron in front, the leader of the devil squadron who got off the road was more cautious. The devils bent over and held their guns, groping forward one by one as if they were facing a great enemy, for fear that there would be traps and mines under their feet.

It's not that the left side of the highway is necessarily flatter than the right side of the road, it's just that since Gao Quan only wants to leave a way for the devil to survive on the side of the road, he resolutely can't let the devil run along both sides of the road. Walking along both sides of the road, past the death zone arranged by the engineer battalion, the devils still have a chance to go up to the road and continue to drive quickly, and if the devils are driven to the side of the road, it is very likely that the devils will stay away from the road and get lost in this wilderness. At the very least, let the devils not take away heavy weapons such as cannons!

From the hill where Gao Quan was ambushed to the road, the distance was only two or three hundred meters, and since the devils came down the road to search, it was impossible to just run forward a few meters away from the road, and there were always dozens of meters into the wilderness on both sides. In this way, it was much closer to the place where Gao Quan and them were ambushed.

"Smack! Smack! As the gunshots rang out, Gao Quan also picked up his rifle and began to shoot like an ordinary soldier. Almost at the same time, the crisp sound of the continuous fire of the German-made Mauser automatic pistol sounded nearby. In between shooting, I took the time to glance with my eyes and saw the scene of Red Peony holding a gun in both hands and two guns firing in turn.

Others are aiming with one eye, but Red Peony has two round eyes. There are many on the battlefield, and Gao Quan has really seen a few people shoot like this. The reconnaissance company commander Xiao Shi, when he fired the gun, he was staring at both eyes, and according to him, both eyes were open, and he could see the enemy coming from both sides more clearly. However, those are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for many years, and they have summed up their own life-saving experience. This red peony used to be just a female thief who occupied the mountain, and I don't know where she got this combat experience.

Although there is a trace of curiosity in my heart, now is not the time to ask about these things, now that I am on the battlefield, all my energy can only be used on the devil's body! Gao Quan squinted his eyes and aimed at it again, and pulled the trigger, "Smack!" With a bang, the devil officer who was holding a command knife and trying to direct the devils to attack this side immediately fell like a stake.

"Good marksmanship!" The crisp cheers sounded in his ears, and the red peony applauded Gao Quan loudly and unabashedly. Speaking of which, it was really the first time that the two of them fought side by side on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. About Gao Quan's marksmanship, I don't know how many times I've heard of Red Peony in the past, but I really haven't seen it on the spot. When he was the overlord of Qingliang Mountain, he also met countless heroes in the three mountains and five mountains, among which there were not a few so-called marksmanship like gods, but compared with Gao Quan's calmness and accuracy, none of them could match it. Seeing with his own eyes that the lover was so majestic, under the agitation of the mood, he couldn't help but blurt out the cheers.

How many times Gao Quan heard the words "good marksmanship", he couldn't remember it for a long time. Listening to the familiar admiration from the mouth of the red peony today, Gao Quan still felt a sense of pride rising from the bottom of his heart. No matter how calm and wise a man is, he also has the idea of behaving in front of women, and can win the praise of his own woman, I am afraid that no man will be unhappy.

The two of them were here to squeeze their eyebrows and make eyes with affection, the guns in their hands were not idle, and the devils in front of the position fell to the ground and died.

The reconnaissance battalion has no artillery, but don't they still have a special battalion here? The special battalion is equipped with mortars. Since he was fighting with the division seat, how could Sun Yuanqing not take special care of his artillery company? If you don't perform at this time, when will you behave? The artillery company commander commanded his mortars to hit them accurately, and the shells were drilled into the group of devils, and each shell could take the lives of several devils.

The devils have cannonballs when they are far away, and throw grenades when they are close. The god pitchers in the reconnaissance battalion almost contracted the work of throwing grenades, and others did not throw them accurately, and they did not throw far, and after comparing the two a few times, no one was willing to come out to sacrifice ugliness.

The devil on the left side of the road is a squadron, although it is equipped with grenadiers, heavy machine guns and other weapons of mass destruction, but in the final analysis, there are only about 200 people. Suddenly ambushed by the squadron, the Japanese army instinctively began to counterattack, how do you know that there are so many ** people on the mountain here! In the face of thousands of bullets fired from the muzzle at the same time, how did these two hundred devils feel? If you didn't turn around and run away on the spot, you can already be regarded as having a relatively high military quality of the devils!

The squadron leader commanded the devils to use various terrain as cover, stubbornly counterattacking the Chinese who occupied the hill and shot down, who knew that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, not long after the battle began, the Japanese squadron leader, the heroic captain, was killed by a vicious bullet!

The loss of a commander on the battlefield is completely fatal. Despite the strict system of the Japanese army, after the death of the squadron leader, the deputy squadron leader quickly took over the command, and drew the command knife and redirected the soldiers to charge. It seems that the attack has not been interrupted at all, but in fact, the devils in the squadron have long panicked.

More than 200 devils, in the face of several times the overwhelming rain of bullets, lost more than half of their personnel in just ten minutes. With so many fewer people, the intensity of the attack will definitely not be able to keep up. Although the deputy squadron leader who took over the command wanted to make meritorious service and secure the position of the squadron leader, in the current situation, it is undoubtedly the first priority to save his life first.

Just as His Excellency the Lieutenant was about to make a feint, that is, to put another round of guns, turn around and run away, a mortar shell suddenly flew from the hill opposite him!

The lieutenant was an excellent soldier and immediately made a reasonable dodge maneuver, and a tiger pounced and fell to the ground. Just as I was about to dodge this flying doom, the mortar shell exploded! A falling shell was not so terrible, but when a palm-sized piece of shrapnel happened to fly to the head of His Excellency the lieutenant, it was undoubtedly the greatest tragedy for the lieutenant himself and the Japanese squadron!

Two commanders in a row died in a short period of time, especially when the firepower of the ** squadron that the devils were attacking had much more firepower than them, and the devils finally couldn't hold on! I don't know which one was the first to turn around and run, but after the first person ran away, the devils then began to retreat as a whole.
