Chapter 214: Breakthrough Battle Against Encirclement and Suppression (2)
"Commander Li, the special operations team has been contacted." After a while, the telegraph operator reported the good news to Bruce Lee.
"Very good, Xiao Wang, immediately send a report to the special operations team and ask where they are now." Bruce Lee hurriedly ordered, his words full of excitement.
"Report to the head of the regiment, the special operations team called back, they were less than half an hour away from Liushugou, and they asked us about the specific location of the breakthrough to facilitate the response." The telegraph operator said, holding a copy of the message that had just been translated.
"Okay, call back immediately, our department has decided to break through directly to the south of Liushugou, and then there will be troops in the north to act as cover, the time is scheduled for half an hour later, please respond on time by the special operations team....send it over immediately." Bruce Lee ordered. Immediately, the radio remembered the sound of ticking.
"Regiment commander, the special operations team called back: The message has been received, and there will be troops to meet it at that time, please transfer it according to the requirements of the receiving troops."
After receiving the response from the special operations team, Bruce Lee's mood relaxed a lot, he stood up, straightened his waist, and thought of the machine gunner who was going to serve as a death squad mission for a while, so he walked to their assembly place alone.
At this time, the machine gunners were studying each other's machine guns to get more familiar with his shooting, and some fighters were carefully wiping the bullets in the magazine... Seeing that the fighters were in very good spirits, no one felt sad that they were going to serve as daredevils later. Bruce Lee nodded secretly, didn't bother them, and walked away silently.
Half an hour had passed far away, and at this time, the encirclement of the army had become smaller and smaller, and to the north of the encirclement, the sparse gunfire had already been remembered. Bruce Lee knew that it was those wounded and sick who deliberately exposed their targets early in order to attract the attention of the army.
However, there is no time for Bruce Lee to think about these questions, because there are less than two minutes left before the time to attack. Under the command of commanders at all levels, the troops had assembled and formed various attack formations, and dozens of machine gunners who were the vanguard of the breakthrough force had formed formations, and each light machine gun was followed by at least four machine gunners with magazines in their waists.
The soldiers stood on the ground of the departure station, silently looking at the torches that were getting closer and closer, and the time passed second by second, and the army was getting closer and closer, and finally, the time was up.
"All of them, ready to go,...," Bruce Lee commanded loudly.
As a result, the breakthrough force, which was opened by 12 light machine guns, slowly walked towards the south of Liushugou. Slowly, the face of the army could be seen clearly under the reflection of the torches.
"Baga, who's up ahead?" Perhaps it was the army that was searching the mountain that heard the sound of advance and shouted loudly.
"Comrades, fight..."Bruce Lee shouted loudly when he saw that Yue Jun had discovered him. In an instant, 12 tongues of fire appeared at the front of the team, and the devil's position, which was brightly illuminated by torches, suddenly fell into chaos.
However, the momentary chaos was immediately stopped by the commander of the army. The soldiers lay on the ground and prepared to fight back. You must know that at this time, the tongue of fire spewed out from the muzzles of the 12 machine guns was the best target for the army.
"Bang bang bang..." A messy 38-style rifle shot rang out, and the 12 tongues of fire were suddenly reduced by half. Seven Heavy fell in a pool of blood. That didn't last more than two seconds, though. Because the spare machine gunner behind him had quickly picked up the light machine gun that had fallen to the ground and continued to fire. The place where the bullets had just been fired became the key shooting targets of the soldiers, and the flying bullets hit the place where the soldiers were hiding, and several devils lying on the ground immediately went back to see their Amaterasu.
"Comrades, grenades..."Seeing more and more soldiers rushing towards him, Bruce Lee shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
So, everyone took out their only remaining grenades, pulled the fuse, delayed for two seconds, passed the machine gunners at the front of the line, and threw them into the front of the army to intercept them, and immediately, the whole team was surrounded by the grenades thrown by the soldiers, and a wail of the wounded sounded around the team.
"Quick, keep charging, rush over, rush over is victory..."Bruce Lee shouted loudly. Because he saw that although most of his machine gunners had been killed, the torches at the front of the team were obviously much rarer, and the sound of soldiers being shot kept ringing behind him. What's more, through the gap between the gunfire, I can faintly hear the sound of horses' hooves.
Bruce Lee knew that there was at most the last sinking line of defense in front of him, and the devil's cavalry brigade was rushing to this side.
At this moment, a machine gunner fell in front of him, and when he looked behind him, there was no backup shooter. Bruce Lee didn't think much about it, pulled out a magazine from the waist of the fallen soldier, quickly replaced the light machine gun in his hand with a new magazine, raised the light machine gun, and shouted loudly to the soldiers around him.
"Comrades, this is the last line of defense for the devils, rush, [***] members, rush to the front for me." As he spoke, the light machine gun in his hand fired, and the fierce fire swept away the soldiers who were about to shoot at the front. The machine gunners around him, seeing that their regiment commander actually took on the role of commandos, were all in high spirits, and they opened fire desperately, rushing towards the periphery of the encirclement, and the machine gun fire in their hands never stopped.
"Alright, stop shooting..."Bruce Lee saw that there was no devil in front of him, and quickly shouted to the few remaining machine gunners around.
"Commander Li, Commander Li..." At this moment, a faint shout reached Bruce Lee's ears, and he saw two soldiers draped in leaves suddenly stand up from the grass in front of them, and the machine gunners who had just ceased fire almost opened fire again.
"Report to Commander Li, come to meet us on the order of Captain Liu, and ask Commander Li to follow us with the troops." The two fighters did not have superfluous words.
"Okay, comrades, all keep up, the comrades of the special operations brigade are coming to pick us up, hurry, all keep up..." So, under the guidance of the special operations brigade, the group shuttled back and forth in the woods in front of them, and in less than ten minutes, they jumped out of the devil's field of vision, and at this moment, the soldiers remembered the violent explosions and fierce gunfire behind them.
"Commander Li, this is the mine we have laid in this wood, Captain Liu and the main force of the special operations team are blocking the pursuit of the devils in the back, please don't worry..." Seeing everyone's worried looks, several members of the special operations team who came to lead the way immediately spoke out to comfort them.
Slowly, the sound of the soldiers' guns became weaker, and several soldiers of the special operations team who led the way listened. "Commander Li, now that we have reached a safe place, we can let the soldiers rest and replenish their strength." As he spoke, he took out several large packages from behind several large trees, took out the food they had prepared and distributed them to the tired warriors behind them.
Just as Bruce Lee was gnawing on dry food, Battalion Commander Li Aiguo came to him with his head down. "Commander, the losses of the fighters are out ..."
"Well, let's talk about it..."Bruce Lee also knew that the casualties of the soldiers must be very huge.
"Of the 60 machine gunners, only 7 remain, and all the rest died on the way to break through. The cavalry company was completely wiped out, not a single one broke through, and there were still 262 soldiers left..."As he spoke, Li Aiguo left tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, those comrades who sacrificed are all good, they are all heroes." With that, Bruce Lee stood up and walked to the middle of everyone. "Comrades, so to speak, the reason why we were able to break out safely today was because those sacrificed comrades-in-arms exchanged their lives for it. So, let's not forget about them. They all died under the guns of devils, and we who are alive must avenge them, take revenge..."Bruce Lee said the last two words with all his might.
"Revenge, revenge," the warriors roared together.
Just when Bruce Lee led the main force to break out of the devil's encirclement, the wounded and sick who were left behind were still fighting, attracting the attention of the devil. In the end, they all fell under the bayonets of the devils, but their sacrifice was not worthless, because of their cover, the main force led by Bruce Lee successfully highlighted the encirclement of the devils, and more importantly, they exchanged for the lives of at least one squadron of devils.
"Report to Your Excellency, Brigade Commander. The encirclement has been cleared of all the enemies... It's just that the Chinese soldiers who broke through still let them run away..."The chief of staff replied in a low voice with his head down.
"Baga, how could this be, a Chinese [***] team of several hundred people, surrounded by thousands of excellent Emperor Bendi [***] people, actually escaped, how did you command the battle..."The brigade commander said angrily.
"Hi....Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Eighth Route Army has troops on the periphery to respond, and the cavalry brigade we went to pursue has fallen into the minefield of the Chinese receiving troops and suffered heavy losses, so..."
"Baga, you bastard. At the cost of the lives of so many excellent imperial soldiers, we actually killed only a squadron of several hundred people, which is simply a shame for the emperors..."Listening to the words of the chief of staff, the brigade commander became even more angry.
"Hey...", the chief of staff lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
"Report to Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, we have caught a security battalion commander who escaped from Zhouzhuang, and he has an important situation report..."
"Baga..."After listening to the staff officer's words, the brigade commander was worried that he could not find the punching bag, and scolded loudly, "Bring him in." When Sakai saw the battalion commander who came in, he was even more angry, because the Chinese in front of him turned out to be the Chinese who reported to him the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
