Chapter 115: The Battle of Xiaozhugou (4)
Liu Tianshu took the members of the second group, took the captured grenade, and rushed towards the forest behind, leaving behind the Imperial Association army that was pursuing behind him in a blink of an eye.
After running into the ditch for about a hundred meters, he saw Shi Qiang's figure in the woods in front of him, and he made a few gestures towards Liu Tianshu and the others, and Liu Tianshu and the others immediately continued to run backwards from the big tree not far from Shi Qiang.
The movement of the Imperial Concorde army in the forest became slow, which made Isoya uneasy. He asked Cao Nannan to call out, and after glaring and cursing a few words, he ordered Cao Nannan's troops who stayed on the avenue to speed up, and did not have to wait for the troops in the forest to complete the search, but directly forced through the ditch.
These nasty Chinese want to play a game of hide and seek with the imperial army in the mountains and forests, but how can the smart and brave imperial army be stumped by this kind of bad scheme.
Anyway, there are not many Chinese in the forest in front, as long as they force their way through the ravine and occupy the key points on the other side of the ditch regardless of their losses, this group of annoying Chinese will not be trapped in the ditch by themselves in turn.
I have to say that Isoya's plan is really clever.
Liu Tianshu and the second group had just prepared for the response a hundred meters behind Shi Qiang, when they found that the devils and the Imperial Association army on the avenue under the mountain forest suddenly sped up.
Looking at the situation, it seemed that he was going to force his way through the ditch before the Imperial Allied army in the forest completed the search.
When Liu Tianshu saw this, he immediately knew that the situation was not good, the devil didn't want to play with him, and he really couldn't afford to play with this little force.
Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, Shi Qiang had already connected with the searching Imperial Alliance Army again.
"Tianlong, the devil is going to pass by force this time, let's go, let's go to that position, wait for the Imperial Alliance Army to come over, and greet them with grenades. Then we retreated from the boulevard. As he spoke, he asked Lin Hua to turn back and inform Shi Qiang, asking them to withdraw immediately to join him.
The devil is not afraid of losses and has to force his way through the avenue, so naturally he can't take the guard squad to fight in the forest.
After all, the speed of walking in the mountains and forests cannot be compared with the speed of running on the avenue.
If the devils and puppet soldiers on the avenue forcibly run to the front, a few of them will not be surrounded by devils in the mountains and forests.
Lin Hua knew that the situation was serious. turned around and ran towards the position of Shi Qiang and the others.
Liu Tianshu took Geng Tianlong, Shang Jiancai and Wang Feilong and hurriedly ran towards a mountain mouth close to the avenue in front of him.
Several people ran to the mouth of the mountain and immediately looked for their combat position under the command of Liu Tianshu, while taking out four captured grenades and putting them aside.
Shi Qiang was shocked when he heard the order conveyed by Lin Hua, and after raising his hand to knock over an imperial army, he shouted at Hao Mengxuan and a few people to retreat, and immediately ran towards Liu Tianshu's position with them.
At this time, Liu Tianshu and the others were staring at a group of Imperial Association troops running from the avenue, and this team of Imperial Association troops was about thirty people. It seems to be the size of a platoon, but behind this Imperial Allied Army, there is a Japanese squad.
Under the urging of the Japanese army behind, these Imperial Allied troops had to speed up, and in a blink of an eye, they ran a hundred meters in front of the mountain mouth.
At this time, the gunfire in the forest also moved to this direction.
Liu Tianshu saw that the Imperial Association Army was less than a hundred meters away from this side, and immediately shouted a beating. Holding the 38 big cover, he pulled the bolt and fired at the Imperial Alliance Army in a hurry.
The remaining three team members. also held the 38 big cover, followed the captain, and shot at the Imperial Army.
The Imperial Cooperative Army walking on the avenue was suddenly attacked by bullets flying from the mountain mouth in front, and the Imperial Cooperative Army running in front was knocked over by five or six people in a blink of an eye.
This time, the Imperial Association Army learned to be obedient, and as soon as the gunfire rang out here, the Imperial Association Army immediately rushed to both sides of the avenue. Then he shot at the front, and as for those who walked to the middle of the avenue, they immediately lay down on the spot, pouting their butts and shooting indiscriminately in front of them.
All of a sudden, fierce gunfire rang out in the ravine.
Liu Tianshu saw that the Imperial Association Army was a little flustered at first, and let himself defeat a few. At this time, they all hid well, and immediately took the opportunity to find out the bullet and press it into the magazine.
Shang Jiancai, Geng Tianlong and Wang Feilong were relieved to see that the Imperial Allied Army did not rush over desperately, and after firing the bullets in the magazine, they also began to quickly reload.
Fortunately, the timing of the loading of several people was staggered, so that there were always bullets shooting from this side of the mountain, and those imperial troops said that they would not get up and attack this time.
The leader of the devil squad who followed behind saw that the front was fighting lively, but the effect was not ideal, and when he got closer, he found that the Imperial Association Army was either lying on the side of the road or lying on the road, and the muzzle of the gun was just shooting in front.
Seeing that the Imperial Association Army was so afraid of death, the leader of the devil squad couldn't help but angrily raise his leg and kick at the Imperial Association Army in front of him, and then waved his hand, and more than a dozen devils grabbed the front, clinging to the side of the avenue, and began to shoot at the mountain mouth while approaching.
At the same time, one of the devil's heavy machine guns was also carried to the front, and after being erected on the avenue, the bullet immediately rained down on the mountain.
Liu Tianshu saw that the devil had taken over the Imperial Army, and the firepower had suddenly increased, so he shouted carefully, and then pressed his body tightly to the ground.
As soon as Shi Qiang and the others ran to the mouth of the mountain, the devil's grenadier was erected, and with the sound of the boom, the shells began to fly towards this side.
Shi Qiang had just crossed a small hill, heard the sound of cannonballs, immediately rolled his body, quickly hid behind the cannonball, and then heard the cannonballs explode in front.
Shi Qiang pushed aside the grass and saw that the devil's grenadier was erected on the avenue two hundred meters away from him, and he gently removed the 38 cover on his back, stretched out the muzzle, aimed at the devil's grenadier hand, and steadily pulled the plate machine, a bullet flew out, and the devil's grenadier hand was knocked to the ground.
The deputy of the devil's grenadier saw that his companion was killed, and he didn't think about grabbing the shell and was about to put it at the mouth of the barrel, when Shi Qiang fired another bullet and flew down, and the devil fell in response, and the shell in his hand rolled on the avenue.
The devil heavy machine gunner found Shi Qiang's position and immediately turned the muzzle, and the bullets rained down on his position.
Fortunately, Shi Qiang was immediately alert when the devil's heavy machine gun fire moved, and after a shot was successful, he quickly put away the gun and then rolled his body, rolling out five or six meters.
Behind him came the thud of bullets burrowing into the dirt, and the clatter of hitting the rocks.
Liu Tianshu saw the devil running in front, and in a blink of an eye, he rushed to a distance less than fifty meters away from them, and immediately turned around and said: "Attention, the devil is about to come up, prepare grenades, and retreat immediately after throwing four." ”
As soon as his words fell, the devil took advantage of the cover of the terrain and approached to about thirty meters.
Liu Tianshu shouted, grabbed the grenade in his hand, pulled the lead, and then threw it suddenly.
After throwing the four grenades in one go, Liu Tianshu didn't care about the outcome of the battle, immediately grabbed the 38 big cover on the side, turned around and ran backwards quickly.
Geng Tianlong and the others also threw the grenade at this time, and followed Liu Tianshu to rush back.
Shi Qiang and the others also left the mountain mouth at this time, jumped quickly onto the avenue, and then ran towards the ditch.
As soon as they left the mountain mouth, the Imperial Alliance army that had searched from the forest also followed them to the mountain mouth.
Liu Tianshu threw more than a dozen grenades in a very short time, and the violent explosion sounded in the ravine, and the entire avenue was shrouded in the smoke of the explosion, and the momentum of the devil's attack was stagnant, and the three devils were unfortunately hit by the fragments of the grenade, and they fell into the smoke before they could shout.
Liu Tianshu and the others went up the avenue, and at this time, they didn't care about the devils and the imperial army behind them, and only rushed forward.
The leader of the devil squad saw that there were suddenly explosions one after another in front of the mountain mouth, and then he saw that there was covered in smoke, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and when the smoke of gunfire dispersed, he found that the Chinese guarding the opposite side had disappeared.
The captain of the devil squad ran over with his subordinates, only to see several imperial soldiers lying on the ground covered in mud and groaning, even those who were not injured were also gray-headed and looked terrified.
Seeing all this, he gritted his teeth and cursed, then turned around and scolded the Imperial Association Army lying on the ground and continued to pursue forward.
Liu Tianshu and the others couldn't care about attacking the devil at this time, and after running all the way, they arrived at the mouth of the ditch in a blink of an eye, and before they could take a breath, they saw Li Shu waiting there.
"Platoon Commander Li, why are you here?" According to the prior arrangement, a platoon should be ready to block the attack at Jute Ridge.
"Captain, the villagers of Huangshi Village and Shipan Village have all been evacuated, and Secretary Tang asked me to pick you up." Li Shu looked at Liu Tianshu and said.
"Have the villagers evacuated safely?" Liu Tianshu was greatly relieved when he heard the news, the second platoon and the guard squad delayed the enemy for almost three hours in Xiaozhugou, and the hardships during this period can be imagined, if the two villages did not seize this time to complete the evacuation, the troops would have to continue to hold back the enemy at Huangjuge and Dashipan.
The terrain in those two places is dangerous, but after all, the enemy has machine guns and artillery, and after a tough battle, the casualties are absolutely indispensable.
Now that the villagers have been evacuated, there is no cover for the villagers' tasks, and this battle will be much easier.
"The folks of these two villages have all been evacuated, but, captain, the merchant fort is in trouble." Li Shu's next words made Liu Tianshu's heart sink.
"What's wrong with Fort Merchant?"
"According to the information we got, the Japanese puppet army surrounded the merchant fort this morning, originally, after the merchant and ran back to the merchant fort to report the news, the merchant fort still had time to do a good job of evacuation, but unfortunately a lot of people in the merchant fort were unwilling to leave the native place, and finally less than two-thirds of them were evacuated from the secret road in the back mountain. In order to protect the merchant fort, the fort in the fort, under the leadership of Shang Wu, stubbornly defended the three checkpoints, and the two sides are now fighting fiercely there, but I am afraid that it is more than lucky. Li Shu shook his head and said.
With the help and training of the guerrillas, the fighting effectiveness of the forts in Shangbao was still improved, and as for weapons and equipment, Shangbao obtained a batch of equipment for the Jin Sui army through some secret channels.
Perhaps it was because he felt that the merchant fort had a self-defense force of more than 100 people, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and some people in the fort felt that they could defend it, so the old man Shang finally decided to send the women and children out of the merchant fort and let the young man stay to defend his homeland.
