Chapter 213: The main force of the regiment is back? (First update!) )
213
Before launching an attack on the mountain pass, the Japanese puppet army was very tired after five or six hours of continuous travel, and then there was a picture of resting after withdrawing from the battlefield.
The guerrillas were much better, holding their positions and waiting for work.
The physical exertion is definitely much less.
In addition, the morale of the Japanese puppet army was low after defeat, and the guerrillas had high morale and were familiar with the terrain in the mountains.
It was destined that it would be very difficult for the Japanese puppet army to escape the pursuit of the guerrillas.
"Captain, the Japanese puppet army has begun to retreat again, leaving a company behind!" Hong Linfeng, who rushed to the front, reported excitedly.
"Good calculation!" Li Hao replied with a smile on his face.
"The enemy is going to lose the car to protect the commander, let this infantry company drag us down, and buy time for their main force!"
After speaking, he stared at Hong Linfeng and asked, "What is this infantry company doing now?" ”
"Arrange positions, organize defenses on the spot, build ring fortifications!" Hong Linfeng replied.
Li Hao's eyes lit up and he replied: "It seems that this puppet army already knows that it has become an outcast, and it doesn't want to die here!" ”
"The forest is so big, they have only one way to hold us back: they will kill us right away. But they didn't do it, but put on a stubborn posture, obviously not wanting to fight with us in order to give up the main force of their Japanese puppet army! ”
"Since we don't want to die, then we'll leave them behind!"
"Hong Linfeng, I'll give you a machine gun squad, and a platoon will also be left, plus the troops brought by Company Commander Huang, surround these puppet troops for me, let Company Commander Huang make a move, and force them down!"
"The others followed me around them and continued to hunt down the Japanese puppet army that had retreated."
"Boom ......"
A violent grenade explosion sounded in the already dark woods, and then the forward troops of the Japanese puppet army burst into a scream.
The three puppet soldiers, one dead and two wounded, were lying on the ground, covering their wounds, screaming in pain.
"Stop advancing, be on alert," the platoon commander ......of the sixth company tightened his heart and subconsciously shouted.
There were no fingers around, it was pitch black, and he didn't know if the Eighth Route Army pursuit force had killed him.
Half a minute later, he didn't wait for the guns to go off around, but he waited for the scolding of the regiment commander Zhou Yunian.
"Why did the troops stop advancing, don't you know that if we stay in the woods for a minute longer, it will be more dangerous?" Zhou Yunian rushed over and questioned the platoon commander.
"But, sir, there is a treacherous thunder ahead, and I'm worried that there is an ambush of the Eighth Route Army around!" The platoon commander hesitated and argued.
"A thunderbolt scares you like this, and I think you're a stupid pig. The Eighth Route Army was obviously pursuing behind us, how could it be possible to run ahead of us and ambush us! The treacherous thunder must have been arranged by some stragglers of the Eighth Route Army, don't worry about them, let's continue to move forward and rush out of the forest as fast as possible! Zhou Yunian first scolded for a while, and then ordered.
Stopped, the Japanese puppet army moved again.
But because of the explosion just now, the tired team was obviously a little more nervous.
"Boom ......"
The rapid march was less than 500 meters, and the explosion sounded again, and it was still in the forward troops that detonated the thunder.
This time the platoon commander did not order the troops to stop, and directed the troops to continue their advance around the blast point.
"Boom ......"
After just a few steps, two treacherous mines were detonated in succession.
The violent explosion caused four more casualties in the forward platoon at once.
Combined with the previous losses, a third of the strength of an infantry squad was gone.
The platoon commander hesitated again, the casualties of the troops were too great, and he looked at the pitch-black forest in front of him, and didn't know whether to continue to advance.
"Da Da Da ......"
This time, he didn't wait for the regiment commander Zhou Yunian's reprimand, and the sudden sound of machine gun fire in the depths of the forest interrupted his thoughts.
"Shoot or kill, you're already surrounded!"
"Comrades, rush with me~"
Shouts of killing and gunfire suddenly rang out in front of the group, and then I saw my men killed by bullets flying in the surrounding woods.
"Retreat, there is an ambush of the Eighth Route Army ahead! The firepower is so fierce, and it appears in front of us again, it is definitely not the Eighth Route Army chasing soldiers in the mountains, it is their main force that has come back! The platoon commander subconsciously shouted.
The instinct to save his life made him think of the main force of the regiment, and there were many main forces in the regiment, and the chances of surviving with them were definitely higher than that of a lone army.
"Comrades, attack, annihilate the Japanese puppet army in the mountains, kill!"
At this moment, an Eighth Route Army also emerged from the forest on their flank.
The forest was pitch black, and the platoon commander couldn't see how many Eighth Route Army troops were killing him, but the bullets were very dense, and at least three machine guns fired at them again.
The platoon commander was even more sure of his judgment just now, and shouted anxiously.
"It must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and their main force has come back from outside the mountain...... Retreat immediately, if we don't run, we will be surrounded~"
The Eighth Route Army, which came from the flanks and directly in front, did not seem to intend to let him go, chasing after him and beating him in the back.
Soldiers were constantly killed by bullets that were rushing after them, and they fell into the woods screaming.
Zhou Yunian's face was shocked, and he also didn't know how many people were in the Eighth Route Army attacking him, but the dense gunfire made him feel that the crisis was approaching him step by step.
As a veteran, he was sure that at least six light machine guns were firing around the forward troops.
It took a company to sell his life to the Japanese to equip a light machine gun, and the Eighth Route Army was notoriously poorly equipped, and the number of light machine guns was definitely even less.
And now that there are as many as six of them all at once, Zhou Yunian's first reaction subconsciously is that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has returned.
"Tuanzao, there are a lot of Eighth Route Army in front, it is their main force, they are killing us, the forward line is finished, and we are also blocked here!" The platoon commander shouted as he rushed over.
"Are you sure it's the main force of the Eighth Route Army!" Zhou Yunian asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"Sure!" The platoon commander affirmed.
"Directly ahead, on the flanks, all of them are troops of the Eighth Route Army, although you can't see them, but the machine gun bullets that come over are real, otherwise the forward platoon will not be killed by them to the left!"
Hearing that the gunshots were getting closer and closer here, the chief of staff next to him was also anxious and hurriedly reminded.
"Tuanza, you have to make up your mind right away. If it is true that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has returned, we will soon be surrounded by them! ”
"I can't see my fingers in the forest, the Eighth Route Army is good at night battles and mountain warfare, if we really get to that point, we will definitely be wiped out here!"
Zhou Yunian's face was solemn, and after a short hesitation, he made a decision: "Break through, disperse and break through!" ”
"Taking advantage of the fact that the Eighth Route Army has not yet surrounded us, the troops will immediately disperse and break through, and then divide the troops and withdraw from the mountains to converge at the stronghold of Hongquan Village."
"The forest is so big, you can't see your five fingers, even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes back, you can only stare at a few of our breakthrough troops, and you can't catch all our breakthrough troops!"
"Just do it, take the platoon as a unit, and disperse to break through!"
In the forest more than 100 meters away, except for the machine gunners who kept shooting at the puppet army, the remaining riflemen ran around, shouting slogans at the top of their voices, and posing as if the main force was coming back.
"Captain, the Japanese puppet army is really scattered and broke through!" Zhao Wen, the leader of the third platoon, rushed over and reported excitedly.
Chen Bing's eyes lit up and he added: "Captain, our goal of bluffing has been achieved!" ”
Li Hao also showed a smile on his face: "The Japanese puppet army of more than 200 people is holding a group and marching in a hurry, the strength is too strong, we can't say anything at all." A general sneak attack kills a few of them at most, which is not cost-effective. Only by forcing them to divide their forces will we have a chance to break through each and maximize the results! ”
"I haven't forgotten the plan just now~ Zhao Wen, you bring two machine guns, a rifle group, and a grenadier group to stare at the Japanese puppet army all the way, Chen Bing, you also bring two machine guns, a rifle group, and a grenadier group to stare at the puppet army all the way, and the others follow me!"
"If you can kill without killing, you won't kill people, and if you kill these three puppet armies, we will be equivalent to killing one company, and the enemy will only have one or more companies left."
"When there is still a chance, we will fight, and we will not lose if we don't have a chance."
