Chapter 154: The Japanese Army's Plan

After staying up for nearly an hour, the Japanese puppet army finally left the village and walked towards the company like a show of strength.

"God has eyes, the devil didn't catch people, and we don't have so many scruples when we fight for a while!" Li Yunshan, the commander of the first company, said very happily.

"The little devil of the dog day can be regarded as coming out! Company commander, do you kill them according to the old rules! The platoon leader asked, his eyes lit up.

Li Yunshan affirmed: "The old rule, first fight the devils and puppet army officers, and then force the remaining imperial army to surrender!" ”

"Papapa......" Li Yunshan raised his pistol and fired the first shot of the entire ambush battle, followed by the sound of gunfire like popping beans on the battlefield.

Under the blows of four crooked handles and more than 100 rifles, more than 20 people wearing devil uniforms fell on the road on the spot, and they died with a whimper.

After a round of guns, the company with sufficient ammunition immediately fired freely, staring at the devils on the road.

But soon Li Yunshan noticed that something was wrong: No, there is a problem with the puppet army on the highway! ”

"It is impossible for the puppet army to have such a fast reaction speed, it must be a little devil pretending. Comrades, whether the enemy is a puppet army or a little devil, kill them all! ”

"Bang Bang!" As he spoke, the more than 100 Japanese puppet troops who had been mixed had already begun to counterattack.

The real puppet army is slightly better, and despite their desperate counterattacks, the fluttering bullets are difficult to hit the target.

And the devils hidden in the middle of the team are different, and their accurate marksmanship allows them to hit an Eighth Route Army with every bullet they shoot.

There were constantly people around Li Yunshan who were shot in the head by devils, and then fell to the mountain beam screaming.

"Don't be afraid, shoot with all your might. Machine gunner, suppress the Japanese puppet army machine gun. The small artillery squad will open fire immediately, whether it is a puppet army or a devil, let me blow up a place with a lot of people, disrupt them, and fire the cannon quickly! ”

Fortunately, the mixed Japanese puppet army has not changed, no matter what military uniform is worn, carrying machine guns, machine gunners and grenadiers carrying grenadiers, they are the key targets of the independent regiment on the battlefield at all times.

Therefore, although many people wore the uniforms of the Imperial Army, they were still killed in the first place.

Then, during the battle, all the Japanese puppet soldiers who wanted to get close to these heavy weapons were shot and killed, regardless of their identity.

Without crooked handles and grenadiers in the battle, the pressure on the company was much less, but the casualties continued to increase under the counterattack of the Japanese riflemen.

The troops, who were still full of confidence just now, began to panic because of the increasing number of casualties.

Fortunately, the grenadiers opened fire at this time.

"Boom, boom, boom......" three explosions sounded on the road, killing ** Japanese puppet army on the spot.

"Well blown up, keep firing and blow up where there are a lot of people!" Company Commander Li Yunshan ordered loudly with red eyes.

After firing five rounds of fifteen grenades in a row, the situation on the battlefield began to develop in favor of the first company at noon.

A company that lost nearly a platoon completely surrounded the remaining Japanese puppet army.

Of course, the remaining more than 60 Japanese puppet troops were not without room to fight back, all of them were scattered and hidden in all corners of the encirclement, shooting a bullet out from time to time to prevent a company from launching an attack and getting close to themselves.

As a result, the enemy and us began to confront each other, and then through shooting, the strength of the opponent in the trench was a little bit.

Although the first company took a great advantage because of its strong firepower in the confrontation shooting, because the Japanese puppet army was too hidden and scattered, it was impossible for Li Yunshan to eat them all without five or six minutes or even seven or eight minutes.

However, after ending the battle and withdrawing from the battlefield and letting go of the remaining Japanese puppet army on the road, Li Yunshan was unwilling.

"Machine gunners, continue to suppress the enemy, riflemen fire freely! A platoon of grenades pressed up, find a way to get close to the enemy, and greet them with grenades! Grenadier cover, blow up wherever there is an enemy, don't hack me to save ammunition! Li Yunshan ordered with a pair of red eyes.

At this time, in the county town a few miles away, two squadrons of Japanese troops and two battalions of the Imperial Allied Army had already rushed out of the city gate, and then one after the other, quickly killing the battlefield.

Although as soon as they left the city, they were known by the main force of the first battalion of the independent regiment lurking outside, but the every move of the remaining two companies of the first battalion was also under the surveillance of the Japanese puppet army.

The battle of the first company was stalemate, and regardless of whether the first company could end the battle on time or not, the Japanese reinforcements out of the city had to be blocked.

Zhang Qing immediately pulled the troops to a mountain beam suitable for blocking, and waited for the devil to reinforce the troops.

The battle soon began, and the mixed Japanese puppet army showed very strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, plus they were reinforced with a lot of heavy machine guns and mortars before leaving the city.

Despite the fact that the first battalion occupied the defensive terrain in its favor, it was still pressed and beaten by the devils.

You must know that this is only half of the strength of the Japanese puppet army's troops out of the city, and if the other half of the troops are also pressed up, a battalion will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Japanese puppet army regardless of consumption.

"Battalion commander, the follow-up troops of the Japanese puppet army came up, but they did not attack directly, but split into two and outflanked our two flanks, the enemy must want to annihilate us all here!" The leader of the reconnaissance squad of the first battalion hurriedly ran over and reported.

"This battle is not right, it doesn't go the way we booked it at all. The enemy is also not right, when did the Imperial Allied Army have such a strong combat effectiveness. And the intensity of their firepower, which not at all an infantry squadron has, we must have been calculated by the devils! Zhang Qing said with a calm face.

Then there was a look of sudden realization on his face, and he continued to shout: "Oh no, we were fooled." The devils not only want to use us to train their troops, but also want to fight a war of attrition with us. They are well equipped, have sufficient ammunition, and have strong individual combat effectiveness, we are definitely not opponents in a war of attrition, they want to annihilate us all here, it must be so! ”

Although the Independent Regiment defeated the devils again and again, the Japanese army's strong combat effectiveness and sophisticated equipment made no one dare to despise all the cadres of the Independent Regiment from top to bottom.

As the commander of the regiment, Wang Ping also constantly stressed to everyone that the current combat mode of the independent regiment is best to focus on small-scale annihilation warfare and ambush warfare, and at the same time of training, it can also supplement some equipment and ammunition to increase its own strength. As a last resort, you must not fight a war of attrition with the enemy, which will not be worth the loss for the independent regiment!

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, the faces of the surrounding subordinates also became heavy.

Instructor Zhao Wenhua is a veteran of the Red Army, who has experienced many major battles and bloody battles, and he can judge at a glance the bad situation that the first battalion is now facing. Then he directly suggested to Zhang Qing: "Battalion commander, this battle can't be fought anymore, if you don't know if our battalion will have to explain here!" ”

The retreat at the beginning of the battle greatly affected both the morale and morale of the troops.

Zhang Qing knew this truth very well, but compared to the annihilation of the troops here, retreat was definitely the best choice.

frowned, and immediately ordered: "Communication class, contact Li Yunshan immediately, no matter if you can end the battle quickly, retreat when you receive the order!" ”

"Let's hold on for another five minutes and retreat, Lao Zhao, you have to inform the instructors of each company and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers. Just retreat like this, the fighters' minds must fluctuate greatly, and you must ensure the stability of the first battalion! ”
