Chapter 143: Deadly Darkness Under the Lamp
A low hill with sparse shrubs growing on it, and a few dozen meters behind it is a patch of low hills with low trees. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is what a Japanese officer observed through a telescope, followed by soldiers with guns and half-crouches in a skirmish search formation.
The Japanese officer had been looking at the low hill ahead with a telescope in hand for a few minutes.
He didn't like the task assigned to them by his boss at all, the other troops had already followed the Chinese army to attack the capital of China, so why should his own squadron pursue the remnants of the Chinese army behind?
But what had happened since the beginning of the pursuit was enough for him to convince himself that he must chase this army, which did not have many people left, to the point that there was no way into the sky and no way into the earth.
Because in the few contacts and firefights with this remnant of the Chinese army, he has already lost more than a dozen soldiers!
Suddenly, as if he had seen something, his heart moved, and he kept the telescope in its original position and carefully observed it for a while, with an expression on his face that was indeed so.
He beckoned to a Japanese soldier and whispered a few words, and the soldier hurriedly stepped back as low as he could.
The Japanese officer was still using his binoculars to scrutinize the woods and the small hill in front of them.
Half an hour later, with a wave of his hand, dozens of Japanese soldiers pressed up and headed straight for the lonely hill.
This Japanese commander made the mistake of going dark under the lights as Huo Xiaoshan wished, and was attracted by Huo Xiaoshan's fake target they set up in the woods, but they ignored the danger under their noses, they didn't know that everyone took a step forward, that is, they were closer to the ghost gate.
In fact, Huo Xiaoshan's plan was still very risky, because if the Japanese army chose this hill as a stepping board for the attack, it would naturally be impossible to see the Chinese army before reaching the top of the hill.
In the same way, due to the obstruction of the hill line, Huo Xiaoshan and they could not see where the Japanese army had arrived and how many people they had reached, so there was a great chance when the bombs were dropped.
They were only sure that the Japanese army was following behind them, but they could not be sure how far away the Japanese army would be from them and when the Japanese army would catch up.
As for lying behind the line and leaving a person to observe the Japanese army, don't even think about it, the Japanese army is not stupid, as long as they find traces of spiders and worms, they will attract a small steel cannon.
Naturally, they also left an observation post in the woods to keep an eye on the Japanese troops, but that observation post could only fire a gun when the first devil rushed to the top of the hill, and it was blocked by the hill, and they couldn't see how many devils came.
So, everyone was lying on the slope and trying to listen to the sound on the other side of the hill.
Everyone held the grenade tightly in their hands, the back cover of the grenade had been unscrewed, and all of them had the lead hanging on their fingers, and some had more grenades next to them that had been unscrewed.
Huo Xiaoshan: They didn't know how many times the hill they were on had been swept by Japanese officers with binoculars, and they didn't know if the devils were advancing towards this hill, and this kind of waiting was undoubtedly a torment for most people.
A little longer will give the person who is waiting to have the illusion that the wait will last for a day or two or a year or two.
But just as they were suffering, Huo Xiaoshan's body suddenly trembled slightly, and his movements couldn't be smaller, but Ma Liancai next to him still found out.
Huo Xiaoshan raised his left hand, waved it, and quickly put it down. By this time, everyone had already heard the sound of stray footsteps coming from the other side of the hill.
The Japanese army is finally here!
At the moment when the Japanese army rushed to the hill line, it was really like a montage in a movie.
First, the gun went off, which was the signal that the Chinese soldier in charge of the lookout in the woods had spotted the Japanese army.
And the wounded soldiers of the soldiers, they had succeeded in laying out the illusion in the bushes that the Japanese officer thought that there was an ambush there.
Then there was the exclamation of the Japanese army, and the first thing the Japanese saw after reaching the top was not the woods opposite, nor the group of soldiers in gray military uniforms lying on their stomachs at the bottom of the hill, only about 20 meters away from them, but a black grenade that had flown in front of them!
Huo Xiaoshan and the others didn't throw the grenade after seeing them, but Ma Liancai counted one or two in a low voice, and then everyone threw the grenade together.
All the Japanese soldiers did not expect that their opponents were hiding under their noses, and the Japanese soldiers, as professional soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, must have an instinctive reaction to danger that exceeded the reaction speed of their brains, so even if their brains were blank, they would never be delayed from making dodge moves.
However, at this time, the Japanese army had no dodge, because when they first saw the grenade, the grenade had already exploded in front of their eyes, this is a real air-burst bomb, a grenade that explodes in the air, not an empty cartridge, the kind of empty cartridge without gunpowder used in the exercise.
So, a scream suddenly sounded, and the M24 grenade, the black-headed long handle flipped in front of their eyes, and this moment was destined to become their eternal and final memory.
As soon as the first batch of grenades exploded, all the Chinese soldiers who were lying in ambush on the side of the hill had already stood up, and the second wave of grenades flew out of their hands as they rushed upward.
This grenade did not deliberately stay in his hand, but was thrown when he pulled the string, and since this grenade was thrown standing up, it was destined to be thrown farther, and the grenades had already exceeded the line of the hill.
The Japanese soldiers at the front saw the grenade, but before they could react, they were blown up.
Although the Japanese troops behind saw the explosion, they couldn't react to where the opponent was, and they only had time to lie down, so the second wave of grenades had already smashed down on the head and face, and there was another scream in the explosion.
By the time the third grenade exploded, the Chinese soldiers had already rushed behind the hilltop line.
"Little Japan, you also have today!"
In the smoke of the grenade explosion, a man poked his head out of the other side of the hill with a Czech light machine gun in his hand, and he did not aim, but fanned down the hill.
This person is Ma Liancai.
Immediately after that, a group of soldiers also showed up, and another volley of guns was fired.
Among them, there was a young soldier who was holding a gun in both hands, and two fast and slow machines were shooting alternately, it was Huo Xiaoshan.
It was a hearty victory.
After three rounds of grenades, the Japanese troops attacking from the opposite side were already dead.
The rest of the Japanese soldiers saw that their comrades were blown up in the roar of grenades, and they had lost their fighting spirit, so they all turned around and ran down the hill, but they became the target of a sharpshooter like Huo Xiaoshan to chase after them.
Therefore, there are very few Japanese soldiers who can escape the bullets of the Chinese army by virtue of the terrain, and in the end, there are no more than five fingers left to escape in the mountains. (To be continued.) )
