Chapter 62: Return to the Horse Pistol
"The devil wants to run" received a report from the soldiers on the city wall, Sun Jin and several company platoon commanders under him were anxious, seeing that Zhao Zhi outside the city had continuously destroyed the heavy equipment and ammunition of the Japanese army, and it was time to close the net, why did the Japanese army, which has always paid attention to the spirit of bushido, run away? Sun Jin and they only saw the demoralization of the Japanese army outside the city after being ambushed by Zhao Zhi continuously, but they did not consider the number of the 225th Wing, as the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the 225th Wing is only an infantry wing of the three or three formations, but its total number has exceeded 3000 people, with Zhao Zhi and the Eighth Route Army, which is less than a thousand people, it is not the opponent of the 225th Wing at all.
"Battalion commander, why don't we go out and bite him, anyway, the Japanese army is also preparing to retreat, let's go and take a bite and leave" A company commander under Sun Jin was full of thoughts of capturing the spoils of war. If Zhao Zhi was on the city wall at this time, he would definitely kick this guy off the city wall, and he would go to the trouble of the 225 Wing without looking at how many people he had, he really didn't know what to call a guy. But Sun Jin is not Zhao Zhi, he has dealt with Zhao Zhi several times, each time Zhao Zhi wins more with less, and the loot is particularly rich, Sun Jin thinks that his soldiers are not worse than Zhao Zhi's people, he wants to try the water.
"The supplementary company stayed and garrisoned the county seat, and the one, two, and third companies followed me out of the city, remember, don't fall in love with the war, and withdraw immediately after hitting them, otherwise the county will be in trouble" Sun Jin grabbed a Czech light machine gun and went out of the city gate, and took his three companies straight to the direction of the Japanese withdrawal. Sun Jin brought only a supplementary company in the early stage, and the one who came to Zhangwu County later was the infantry battalion he commanded, and it was the regular main battalion of the Eighth Route Army.
The speed of the Japanese army's retreat was not very fast, and Sun Jin, who rushed out of the city in a hurry, was just right to fit the Japanese army's rearguard. Now that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who have changed their equipment and changed their guns, they naturally will not let go of these Japanese soldiers, rifles, light machine guns, and grenades together, and they forcibly tore a big hole in the defense line of the rear guard unit of the 225th Wing, and Sun Jin's troops rushed into it like a tide from the torn opening, and the Japanese soldiers were staggered and scuffled.
Although the Eighth Route Army also paid attention to stabbing training, it was not the opponent of the Japanese army, and often one Japanese soldier could withstand the stabbing of three Eighth Route Army soldiers, and sometimes, a Japanese soldier could assassinate several Eighth Route Army soldiers in a row. "Don't mix together, separate, separate, you are holding guns in your hands, not burning sticks" Sun Jin, who was holding a light machine gun, shouted urgently, the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield had already twisted together with the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army under him, and the light machine gun in his hand did not dare to shoot at all, for fear that he would accidentally injure his own people.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who heard Sun Jin's shouting, chose to retreat, only by keeping a distance from these Japanese soldiers, the weapons in their hands could exert their power, but it didn't matter if they retreated, the Japanese troops in charge of breaking up rushed up in an uproar, and the formation of the Eighth Route Army was scattered. "The broadsword platoon pressed up, push them back to me" Sun Jin also burst into flames, and simply threw away the light machine gun in his hand and replaced it with a broadsword, and pressed it up with the broadsword platoon in his battalion, the knife flashed and the heads were rolling, and the broadsword platoon pushed the Japanese army back like a tiger out of the gate, but Sun Jin's troops suffered great casualties.
Striking iron while it is hot, seeing that the Japanese defense line has begun to loosen, Sun Jin waved his broadsword and led the soldiers to charge, he wanted to eat the Japanese squadron left behind by the Japanese army. The terrible trumpet sounded, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army began to charge with their rifles in their hands, and even those wounded rushed over with their own weapons as long as they could still stand up. Naturally, the Japanese army could not break down their own defense line by the Eighth Route Army like this, and at the same time as the Eighth Route Army's charge horn sounded, the Japanese soldiers on the defense line stripped off their upper bodies and stood silently with bayonets in a row to watch Sun Jin and them rushing up.
A Japanese officer standing at the head of the team drew his command knife and pointed obliquely at the Eighth Route Army that rushed up, shouting loudly, and those shirtless Japanese soldiers shouted in unison and rushed forward, colliding with Sun Jin and them. Sun Jin, wielding a big knife, slashed the Japanese soldiers in his sight one by one, and he himself became the target of the Japanese army.
"Retreat, retreat" The Japanese officer wielding the command knife suddenly shouted to retreat, and the Japanese troops in the melee leaned together to withdraw from the battle group, and followed the officer to begin to retreat. "If you want to run, there is no way" Seeing the Japanese retreat again, Sun Jin waved the big knife in his hand and chased after him, and the tired and panting soldiers of the Eighth Route Army behind him also cheered up and followed their battalion commander to rush towards the Japanese army again, so far, this group of Japanese troops has retreated three times in a row. Although there was no sign of a rout, in the eyes of Sun Jin and the soldiers, the rout of this group of Japanese troops was close at hand.
"Fucking idiots, don't you want them to hold the county? Why did you come here and get involved with the Japanese army" Zhao Zhi, who had already joined the mercenaries who had been connected, jumped straight to his feet, if the telescope in his hand was not an authentic military item, Zhao Zhi was afraid that he would have thrown it out a long time ago. Zhao Zhi's current position is on a hill a few hundred meters away from Sun Jin, from here you can only see the retreating Japanese army and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in hot pursuit, what makes Zhao Zhi really worried is the other Japanese troops who have already withdrawn into the mountain road, according to Zhao Zhi's view, the Japanese army will never use only one squadron to take on the task of breaking off, the Japanese army has a conspiracy.
Zhao Zhi's worries became a fact, Sun Jin and they chased the Japanese army just around a turn, they were blocked by the Japanese army who were waiting for the battle, and after the retreating Japanese army dispersed to both sides, Sun Jin and they were completely exposed to the guns of the Japanese army on the opposite side. "Shooting" Under the command of the officer, the Japanese machine guns rang out, and the rainstorm of bullets knocked down a large number of Sun Jin's soldiers in an instant, and on the mountain road without concealment, they were not at all opponents of the Japanese machine gun group with bolt-action rifles, even if Sun Jin had sharpshooters under him, it was useless.
"Boom" "Boom" The Japanese troops who rushed out of the brigade on both sides of the mountain road, and the grenadiers kept firing grenades to bombard the Eighth Route Army on the mountain road, Takeda Dingzo put down the binoculars in his hand with a proud face, and said lightly, "This is what the Chinese soldiers said in the horse pistol, order the Sato Brigade to encircle and annihilate this group of Eighth Route Army, and the Sasaki Brigade and the Murakami Brigade will immediately attack the county seat, I want to see what else the Chinese people can do."
