Chapter 1103: Let the Devil See Hope (First Update!) )
The breakthrough was smoother than the Japanese puppet army imagined, except for a dozen people who stepped on a mine and were killed and wounded, not a single Eighth Route Army was encountered in the trenches.
The squad leader had a hunch: the Eighth Route Army would definitely not let itself leave the stronghold so easily.
The reason why there was no one on the battlefield was because they wanted to avoid the heavy weapons in their hands and kill themselves with minimal casualties.
On the way to Guanshan Town, there must be countless conspiracies waiting for you.
But the squad leader can't manage so much.
The last bit of food in the stronghold has been eaten up in a meal just now, and if the troops do not break through now, they will definitely die.
Only by leading everyone out of the stronghold can the troops have a chance to survive.
So even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of you, you have to go and break through.
He drew his command knife, pointed to the road ahead, and decisively ordered: "Let's go, march quickly to Guanshan Town." ”
"Horn Horn Horn ......"
Less than a kilometer after rushing out of the stronghold, what the squad leader feared happened, and a volley of guns rang out on the side of the road.
A mortar group of three gunners, with a muffled grunt, fell to the ground along with the equipment on their shoulders.
Seeing that some of his subordinates wanted to stop and fight back, although the squad leader was also heartbroken, and his face was full of anger, he still stopped loudly: "Don't worry about them, the troops continue to advance." ”
"The longer we delay on the road, the more attacks we will be made, and the greater the casualties will be."
"We can't lose more warriors because of revenge and saving people, the gains outweigh the losses."
"Hurry back to Guanshan Town and survive, so that we have a chance to kill back to Zhouzhuang, kill the Eighth Route Army that has been attacking us, and avenge the warriors who died in battle."
Seeing that the Japanese puppet army was fine, they left their bodies and equipment and continued to retreat, and the four platoon commanders not far away immediately blossomed.
"Deputy company commander, the little devils who were killed and the equipment on their bodies are all left!"
"Now you know why I gave up the blockade and let the devil leave the stronghold, right?" Li Bing asked with a confident smile.
"Got it!" The fourth platoon commander suddenly replied.
"Let the devils see the hope of retreating to Guanshan Town, so that they will not destroy those heavy weapons in advance."
"If they can't get out of the stronghold and can't see any hope of survival, the devil will definitely destroy all weapons and ammunition before he dies."
"Even if we end up taking the stronghold, we won't get anything."
Li Bing nodded and ordered: "Since our fighting style is useful, let the comrades let go of the fighting." ”
"Hit the devil artillery unit first, then the heavy machine gun squad, and finally pack up the infantry."
"I have prepared a pocket formation for them five kilometers away, whether you can wipe out the Japanese puppet army here is the key to whether you can kill all the artillery and heavy machine gun units in an hour."
"Horn ......"
Gunfire continued to ring out on the side of the road, and the frequency of attacks became faster and faster, but the squad leader still ordered the troops to continue the rapid march and retreat, and ignore these sneak attacks.
Because he did not hear the sound of light and heavy machine gun fire.
In his eyes, the marksmanship of the Eighth Route Army was too poor, and it was not on the same level as the Imperial Army at all.
Relying on rifles alone, it is simply impossible to inflict too many casualties on the troops.
And that's exactly what happened.
Most of the attacks, a row of guns and a dozen bullets flew towards the Japanese puppet army, and in the end only one person was killed.
But the squad leader didn't realize that the attacks of the Eighth Route Army were all targeted.
After a series of attacks, eighteen gunners and five heavy machine gunners had been killed.
Because the gunners and heavy machine gunners were at the end with heavy equipment, the squad leader was only thinking about getting to Guanshan Town as soon as possible, so he didn't know their huge casualties.
Moreover, the devils and puppet troops around him were not attacked, and there were almost no casualties, and the squad leader took it for granted that the troops suffered few casualties under the sneak attack of rifles.
"Da Da Da ......"
A heavy machine gun stood in the middle of the road like a roadblock, surrounded by sandbags, the barrel of which protruded from the firing port and fired at them.
The five or six people who rushed to the front, whether they were devils or puppet soldiers, didn't say a word, and several blood holes were punched out of their bodies when the guns rang, and they fell to the ground with a pair of big eyes full of unwillingness.
"Get down and hide ......"
The squad leader threw himself on the ground and shouted, drew his command knife and began to give orders: "Heavy machine guns and mortars fire immediately, take out the front firing point, and the troops continue to retreat." ”
After all the orders were given, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth.
I have four mortars and four heavy machine guns, and the Eighth Route Army has one heavy machine gun, and it is also in the middle of the road, so isn't it looking for death?
However, after waiting for half a minute, neither the expected sound of artillery nor the sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out.
"Eight grid tooth road, the heavy machine gun squad and the artillery squad haven't caught up yet? What do they eat! The team leader thought that they were walking too slowly and did not keep up with the team, and scolded very dissatisfied.
Until a military cao crawled up from the ground.
"Sir, the heavy machine gun squad and the artillery squad are finished!"
"They were attacked all the way by the Eighth Route Army, suffered heavy losses, and lost all their equipment."
"How is that possible?" The squad leader's eyes immediately turned red, staring at Jun Cao, and asked with a look of disbelief.
Jun Cao hurriedly explained: "I just learned about my humble duties, on the way to retreat, the sneak attack troops of the Eighth Route Army have been staring at them, and the infantry has not suffered a single casualty, and they are all dead. ”
"Because they were afraid of affecting the speed of the march, no one continued to carry the heavy equipment they lost, and all of them were lost."
"It's over......"
The squad leader's face quickly turned white and cried out in despair.
Heavy machine guns and mortars were his hope for taking out the Eighth Route Army's firepower points.
Now hope is dashed, relying only on infantry will not be able to suppress heavy machine gun fire, let alone destroy.
"Da Da Da ......"
Two light machine guns suddenly emerged from their right flank, and the bullets were like eyes, staring specifically at the remaining devils.
The two devils who wanted to shoot their heads were killed on the spot and beaten into a sieve.
Then more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops emerged from not far away, guns in hand, bent over, and kept approaching the highway.
"There is also the Eighth Route Army on the left!" An exclamation rang out on the road.
Two light machine guns, a dozen Eighth Route Army, attacked them from the left flank......
Immediately after, more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops emerged behind them, armed with two light machine guns.
A total of seven light and heavy machine guns, together fired at the road.
The devil only has two light machine guns, and the puppet army has three, which is not an opponent at all, and is suppressed as soon as the shot is fired.
The puppet army is not a fool, seeing that the Eighth Route Army bypassed itself and all its firepower was concentrated on the Japanese army, they immediately understood the goodwill of the Eighth Route Army and wanted to let them live.
No one wants to die, and when they see that the Eighth Route Army wants to let them live, they will definitely not deliberately seek death.
As long as there are no devils around to supervise the battle, they all lie on the ground, throw their rifles aside, hold their heads, and remain motionless.
