As the Japanese army began to look for rear support, Qiu Jingshan and the soldiers of the first battalion of the military training regiment on the blocking position, although they were reluctant to leave. But in the face of Ma Shuangbing's persuasion, Qiu Jingshan finally chose to retreat in advance.

Although this approach seems somewhat unkind. But Qiu Jingshan, who has experience in the underground party, knows very well that when it comes to secrecy tasks, many team members who participate in the operation will dedicate their strength and even their lives to the secrecy personnel.

The reason for this is that it is important to know that the confidential person is important. As a representative of the Eighth Route Army sent to the 77th Army, Qiu Jingshan also knew very well how important his task was. Even if he felt unkind, he had to do it.

When announcing the early withdrawal of the battle order, Jiang Tieshan was very unwilling. Seeing Qiu Jingshan's serious expression, as well as the equally sharp eyes of Ma Shuangbing, the commander of the reconnaissance company, he could only choose to obey the order.

After all, Jiang Tieshan also knew very well that the comrades of these reconnaissance companies were leaving him more hope for life. And what he has to do is to carry out the tasks assigned to him by his superiors, so as to repay these comrades-in-arms who take care of him.

'Company Commander Ma, take care! We are waiting for you in the rear for your triumphant return, a battalion, salute the brothers of the Eighth Route Army! ’

When he left the position, Qiu Jingshan said goodbye in this form. He also hoped that in this way, other officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the military training regiment who had not yet chosen to join the Eighth Route Army would remember the contribution made by the Eighth Route Army at this moment.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless!

Only let these soldiers, who are still prejudiced against the Eighth Route Army, and even a little vigilant, really see the dare and daring side of the Eighth Route Army. Qiu Jingshan believes that sometimes what you see with your own eyes will be more effective and convincing than what you hear!

Even if the first battalion of the military training regiment retreated ahead of schedule, the reconnaissance company suppressed the Japanese squadron on the road and could not move. This also means that the departure of the first battalion, the little devils on the road, is actually not clear.

At present, after Qiu Jingshan and the others left, Ma Shuangbing also said with a sigh of relief: "Comrades, Staff Officer Qiu and they have left, and the rest of the battle will be handed over to us." All we have to do is hold on for another half hour.

From now on, the sniper squad will fire freely, focusing on officers and grenadiers and machine gunners who take care of the little devils. Others, relying on the blocking position, blocked layer by layer. Wait a minute, the little devil should be able to shell, and pay attention to it then.

As soon as the little devils began shelling, we scattered from the left and right sides of the position to break through. After evacuating the position, according to our previous arrangement, we brought the little devils who rushed to support to the ambush circle we had preset in advance.

As long as the little devils dare to chase after them, I believe that the battalion commander will let these little devils walk around without eating. Remember, once the little devil shells, the hands and feet are quickly withdrawn, don't touch the moldy head of the little devil's shell, understand? ”

'Yes, Company Commander! ’

After giving the battle order, Ma Shuangbing said: "Set up the mortar left by Staff Officer Qiu, and if you see the little devil's reinforcements arrive, you will immediately shell me." After running out of shells, the artillery squad immediately withdrew.

The rearguard squad advanced to the sides of the position to lay mines. Once the troops begin to withdraw, all the ammunition that cannot be taken away will be planted with explosives to set up mines. I'm going to let the little devil come up and feel the power of the thunder again! ”

'Yes, company commander, don't worry! We'll take care of it! ’

Several soldiers who were proficient in the setting of tricks and mines, after receiving the order of Ma Shuangbing, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, carrying a few boxes of grenades and began to lay mines. For this kind of thing, the fighters of the reconnaissance brigade are naturally familiar with it!

The little devil's pursuers also didn't let Ma Shuangbing and the others wait long. After hearing the gunfire coming from the front, the Japanese infantry brigade following the pursuing squadron realized that the outpost squadron might have encountered an attack.

When the two soldiers of the pursuing squadron returned, they heard that there was a blocking position of the Central Army in front, and the blocking fire was very fierce, and it looked like it should be the size of the main regiment of the Central Army, and the commander of the Japanese infantry group was not surprised.

He smiled and said, "Yo Xi, these damn rabbits finally stop running!" The rest of the squadron was ordered to rush to support at once. At the same time, let our artillerymen begin to calculate the azimuth parameters of the opposing blocking positions and provide artillery data for the artillery wing. ”

'Hey! ’

The Japanese infantry brigade, which was originally only trailing on foot, began to trot to the place where the gunfire rang out after receiving the order to support. It didn't take long for the Japanese infantry to rush to the aid to see the battlefield being crossfired.

Feng Shuangbing, who also saw a large number of Japanese infantry arriving, said with a smile: "Order the artillery squad and start the artillery bombardment!" With such a narrow road, I believe that if you go down with one shot, you can always kill a few little devils! ”

Taking advantage of the terrain and altitude, Feng Shuangbing also asked for several mortars that Qiu Jingshan originally used to block the attack. The purpose is to create more casualties for the pursuing little devils through shelling.

As for the level of artillery shelling of the scouts, naturally it will not be worse than the level of artillery of the first battalion of the military training regiment. When he saw the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, the scouts, who were temporarily acting as artillerymen, had already adjusted the angle of the mortars.

As Feng Shuangbing smiled and nodded, a platoon commander in charge of the command immediately said: "First give the little devil a five-shot rapid fire, release!" ”

As mortar shells are stuffed into the barrel, a 'tom-tom' sound of triggering pushes the shells with blazing flames out of the barrel. The Japanese troops, who happened to be within the range of the mortars, did not seem to realize that the blocking force had artillery.

After all, in their opinion, the artillery used by the blocking troops, in front of their artillery, is not worth mentioning at all. But the problem is that in such a sudden situation, the range and lethality of the mortar are still very amazing!

Looking at the mortars flying down from the blocking position, the little devil who hadn't come to catch his breath immediately screamed: "Baga, dodge!" Find shelter to dodge! The other side has artillery, the other side has artillery! ”

The Japanese squadron commanders who were in charge of directing the battle quickly shouted such words. With the panic of many little devils, they chose to hide in a place, and these shells also accurately fell into the Japanese army that came in to help.

Looking at the shells that were detonated one by one, as well as the Japanese soldiers who screamed in pain and fled in the explosion, even the reconnaissance soldiers on the position felt very happy. But for the Japanese infantry who came to help, they naturally felt very painful.

In particular, I saw that on the opponent's blocking position, artillery shells were smashed down one after another. The road, which was originally not wide, soon became like a slaughterhouse. This situation made the Japanese soldiers who came to help know that they seemed to be running a little too fast.

As a result, nearly 1,000 infantrymen stayed on this nearly two-kilometer road, and they could only be beaten. Even if there was a squadron leader, he ordered their mortar squad to prepare for a counterattack, but the range was obviously lacking.

An infantry squadron leader immediately shouted: "Quick, go back and tell the captain that the enemy has a mortar squad." There is a huge threat to our offensive, we need artillery guidance from the artillery wing, fast! ”

It was only when the artillery wing of the Japanese army quickly set up artillery in the rear that the artillery squad on the blocking position also cleanly shot out the mortar shells that Qiu Jingshan had left on the position before.

Seeing that the artillery of the little devil has not yet carried out a counterattack, he knows that these mortars are also very important to the 77th Army. Feng Shuangbing thought for a while and said, "When you wait for the retreat, you can carry these mortars and hand them over to Staff Officer Qiu at that time!" ”

'Yes, Company Commander! ’

Although retreating with mortars on his shoulders will somewhat delay time and waste physical strength. But as soldiers, they all know that mortars are also very valuable weapons. For a motley army like the 77th Army, this is their heavy weapon!

Just when the artillery squad split the mortars, and retreated with these split parts. Feng Shuangbing also ordered the troops in the front-line positions to begin to retreat to the two positions behind, slightly reducing the pressure on the Japanese troops on the road.

Spreading out the troops also reduces the risk of possible shelling in the following shelling. As for the little devils who want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, naturally there are snipers to clean them up.

Knowing that they had to wait for the artillery to strike before they could attack the Japanese infantry on the upper slope, they could only honestly wait for their artillery to counterattack. The Japanese troops who rushed to support also breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that there was no more shelling on the opposite hill.

Just seeing the wounded soldiers and the corpses killed on the spot everywhere on the road, many Japanese infantry who rushed to support felt very aggrieved. At least in their opinion, this time it seems that they are losing again!

When the artillery wing quickly built up the artillery position, the artillery bombardment of the blocking position was finally launched. The Japanese troops suppressed on the road were very excited, but Feng Shuangbing on the mountain knew that it was time for them to retreat.

'Detachments, according to the previously confirmed evacuation plan, withdraw! ’

The first shells did not fall completely accurately on the artillery positions. And this kind of shelling, more of a test-firing. The Japanese artillery observers, who were responsible for observing the landing points of the shells, also needed to determine the parameters that needed to be adjusted by test firing.

This means that there is also a certain interval between the first test launch and the second official shelling. And it was precisely this time that was enough for the reconnaissance company to withdraw from the battle from the position and quickly withdraw to both sides of the position.

By the time the little devils launched the shelling again, the entire blocking position was plunged into an explosion. Looking at the blocking position ahead of them, which was shrouded in the sound of explosions and gunsmoke, the Japanese troops on the road finally felt a bad breath.

While the artillery began to shell, the Japanese also began to clean up the mess on the road. The Japanese infantry, who had been lucky enough to escape, also began to prepare for the attack after the shelling was over.

In the opinion of these Japanese infantry who were preparing to attack, after rushing to the blocking positions on the opposite side, they must kill all the soldiers on those positions. Unfortunately, this expectation is not destined to be realized.

By the time they rushed to their positions, all they saw was empty blocking positions. Of course, there are also 'special gifts' prepared for the reconnaissance company when they leave. It makes them feel once again that as an aggressor, they must be ready to die at all times! (To be continued.) )
