Chapter 345: Long Insight (First Update!) )
"Bang bang...... "The reinforcements who led the way of the puppet army walked less than fifty meters forward, and a string of gunfire reached the ears ......of the squadron leader.
The Japanese puppet army reacted quickly, dozens of devils quickly squatted on the ground, picked up their rifles and counterattacked at the place where the guns had just been fired, especially the machine guns, the bullets that fluttered past were particularly accurate, and all of them flew back close to the dirt slope where the guerrillas were hiding.
If it weren't for Yang Xiong's repeated explanations, a person could only fire one bullet in a sneak attack, and with the reaction speed of the Japanese army, the guerrillas would definitely have suffered casualties by now.
"Retreat, quick, get to the next sneak attack!" The guerrilla leader rejoiced and immediately ordered.
For the first time, the Japanese squadron leader held on to Wang Ping, but he had been fighting with the surrounding Eighth Route Army for a long time. This kind of one-shot battle was a headache for him, but there was not much good way to do it, so he could only order the troops to launch a counterattack on the spot and disperse them with firepower.
Fortunately, Tsuchihachi has its own weaknesses and is short of ammunition. After a few sneak attacks, he had to abandon the sneak attack because he ran out of bullets, and let himself go out of the city every time to carry out a mission, although there would be some casualties under the so-called guerrilla warfare strike, but in the end it was still himself who won in the end.
Seeing that there was no movement at all where the gun had just been fired, the squadron leader immediately realized that the Eighth Route Army, which had attacked him, had run away.
"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, must be planning to use guerrilla warfare to sneak attack us again! They have already run, stop shooting, don't waste any more bullets! "The squadron leader was already getting irritable by this time.
As soon as they left the city gate, they were attacked by mines, and now the Eighth Route Army began to use guerrilla warfare to beat themselves coldly.
The squadron leader was not a fool, and it was clear at a glance that this must have something to do with the attack on the coal mine.
From the beginning of leaving the city, most of the hours had passed, but the troops had left the city gate less than 500 meters. At this marching pace, it is certainly impossible to walk the remaining five kilometers without a few hours.
However, can the more than 100 defenders of the Bald Ridge Coal Mine hold out for a few hours!
The irritated bear subject commanded with a frown.
"Leave these sneak attackers alone, they don't have enough ammunition to help us. The troops continued to advance, marching sharply to reinforce the mines, right away! ”
"Bang bang bang ......" may be in response to the devil squadron leader's contempt for the guerrillas, and as soon as the order was given, gunshots rang out on the other side of the road.
"Da Da Da ......" dozens of devils nearby subconsciously stopped and began to counterattack.
"Stop shooting, the dirt has already run away, don't waste any more bullets! The troops continue to advance, march in a hurry! The squadron leader ordered with a frown.
This time, the squadron leader was destined to misjudge.
A few guerrillas were like sticking their dogskin plasters, firing a few shots at them every minute or two, and no matter how much the devils dispersed them with firepower, they could not drive them away.
"Captain, Tubalu is too cunning, it's only been ten minutes, and the cold guns that sneaked up on us have caused casualties among six imperial troops, and the imperial alliance army has also lost more than a dozen people!"
"Isn't the eight-grid tooth road, the dirt eight roads short of ammunition? Where did they get so much ammunition today, sneak attack a little to stop! The squadron leader scolded loudly.
Just as he was frowning and thinking about a solution, a platoon commander of the Imperial Alliance Army in front of him suddenly rushed over.
"Taijun! No, sir, there is a blocking force of the Eighth Route Army in front, it is the regular unit of the Eighth Route Army, and they also have machine guns on their positions! ”
As soon as the report was finished, the marching procession stopped.
"It's the blocking force of the Eighth Route Army, they want to stop us from reinforcing the coal mines!" The squadron leader immediately made a judgment that everyone knew, and then ordered.
"The first squad of the Imperial Army, immediately reinforce the first company of the Imperial Allied Army, cover their attack, break through the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army, and continue to reinforce the coal mines!"
A company of the Imperial Cooperative Army, under the supervision of dozens of devils behind him, held a rifle, and cautiously approached the blocking position of the Eighth Route Army.
Company commander Zhang Hao was very nervous, because this was the first time that the unit had fought a positional battle with the enemy since its establishment.
Many of his fighters had just been transferred from the guerrillas, and the only few battles since the establishment of the unit were guerrilla warfare with the Japanese puppet army.
Zhang Hao, who was afraid that his subordinates would drop the chain on the battlefield, walked back and forth behind the dirt slope to encourage his subordinates not to be afraid.
"Comrades, hold steady, aim at the enemy, and shoot again when you receive the order!"
"The enemy also carries a head on two shoulders, and a bullet still kills them. We have plenty of ammunition, we are all aiming well, don't be afraid to waste bullets! ”
As soon as Zhang Hao, who had walked around the position, returned to Yang Xiong's side, Yang Xiong patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Don't be nervous, they're just the Imperial Army, as soon as I show the killer weapon, they will collapse!"
After speaking, Yang Xiong ordered the commander of the second company behind him: "Heavy machine guns, mortars, all set up for me, scare the Japanese puppet army in front of you, and let them not rush so fast!" ”
"Da Da Da ......" two heavy machine guns, one made in the Czech Republic in Zhang Hao's hand, shot together, the fluttering bullets were like death sickles, instantly swept down the seven or eight Imperial Allied troops who rushed to the front.
The reflexes of the Imperial Allied Army quickly lay on the ground, dodging the fire of three light and heavy machine guns.
The Imperial Army, which reacted a little slower, kept being killed and planted on the ground.
"Yaga, Tubalu is actually equipped with a heavy machine gun! When did they have such good equipment! The captain of the Japanese squad who supervised the battle behind him shouted with a shocked face.
Then with a frown, he ordered: "Attack, continue the attack." Get up and keep rushing forward, and the Imperial Army will cover you with grenadiers! ”
The Imperial Allies who had just escaped the catastrophe were all terrified, but in order not to be killed by the bullets from behind, they still got up and continued to rush forward.
"Shoot, machine guns don't stop, kill them!" Yang Xiong ordered with a calm face.
Then he ordered to Zhang Hao, who was stunned beside him: "Company Commander Zhang, the Imperial Association Army is rushing up, you can let your people shoot." ”
"This is the highest opportunity for the troops to adapt to the battlefield and train in actual combat, so don't miss it."
Zhang Hao reacted suddenly: "Thank you, Battalion Commander Yang, today my old Zhang is a long-term insight, and the battle can be fought like this, it's too happy." All the shots were fired in one company, and the enemy was already suppressed by heavy machine guns, so I was relieved to fight! ”
In front of the position, the Imperial Allied troops were constantly killed, and the living Imperial Allied troops continued to rush forward in the face of bullets under the threat of bayonets behind them.
The devils hiding behind were not idle, and immediately rushed up to set up grenadiers, trying to kill the two heavy machine guns that were screaming joyfully.
Yang Xiong's eyes kept staring at the devils behind the Imperial Allied Army, and when he saw them setting up artillery, he ordered without saying a word: "The artillery fires and blasts off the devil grenadiers behind!" ”
"Woo...... Boom ......" Two screams just sounded overhead, and a violent explosion sounded behind the Imperial Army.
Caught off guard, five or six devils were directly blown up, and a grenadier was also affected.
"Baga, it's a mortar, how is it possible, how can Tubalu be equipped with a mortar!" The appearance of heavy machine guns has shocked the squad leader, and the appearance of mortars has directly subverted the squad leader's understanding of the Eighth Route Army.
Although they are armed with grenadiers, they are certainly no match for mortars. Continuing to attack, in addition to being passively beaten and sent to death, he could not threaten the defenders on the position at all.
Therefore, the Japanese squad leader wisely chose to retreat.
