Chapter 31: The Special Agents Battalion Retreats
The two squads of more than 100 devil soldiers kept approaching the trenches, and the soldiers of the special service battalion were quite calm and did not shoot at will.
When the devil soldiers entered a hundred meters away from the trench, the company platoon commander inside the trench immediately shouted: "Fight!" ”
Two Czech light machine guns and three crooked light machine guns in the trenches began to fire, and a volley of guns rang out.
The Japanese soldiers quickly lay on the ground and fired, and the four unprepared devil soldiers were hit, and their bodies immediately fell to the ground.
After seeing this scene, Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, and it seemed that there was a big gap between the main force of the military subdivision and the main force of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army.
Five light machine guns began to fire, and with the platoon of more than a hundred riflemen, only four devil soldiers were brought down, and the hit rate was too poor.
This is no wonder for the military divisions, the main forces of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army are veterans of a hundred battles, and the main forces of these military divisions usually have rare opportunities for live-fire training.
The devil soldiers began to counterattack, and bullets were fired quickly into the trenches.
Seven crooked light machine guns opened fire, and seven or eight fighters were sieveed by bullets.
The air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke and blood, Sun Weiguo quickly aimed at a ghost soldier shooter, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
With a "snap", the ghost soldier shooter who was strafing the trench was shot in the head and fell to the side.
But the light machine gun assistant shooter immediately picked up the light machine gun and moved to a position, he took refuge under the eaves and continued to strafe the trenches.
The fire inside the trenches was suppressed, and the nine grenadiers of the Maruyama squadron were immediately erected.
One grenade after another quickly attacked the trench, the grenade landed near the trench, the sound of explosion sounded, and shrapnel flew in all directions.
The riflemen alternated cover to advance, and seven shooters with light machine guns immediately followed.
Although the special battalion has an advantage in numbers, it is difficult for them to have room to fight back in the face of the attack of the devil soldiers.
The Japanese light machine guns and grenadiers cooperated tacitly to suppress the fire in the trenches.
A soldier set up a Czech light machine gun and tried to shoot, but then a grenade landed next to him.
The Czech light machine gun was destroyed by a grenade, and the fighter was killed.
Sun Weiguo's brows furrowed tightly, although he kept shooting, but his accurate marksmanship alone could not stop the attack of a squadron at all.
And through the telescope, Sun Weiguo has already seen that the two Type 92 infantry guns of the Japanese army have begun to adjust their muzzles.
"The district squad is ready for battle and will act according to my orders." Sun Weiguo hurriedly shouted.
He quickly jumped off the roof and ran directly towards the headquarters of the special service battalion, which must now retreat and adjust, otherwise the special service battalion may be completely wiped out.
And even if the five battalions outside the town are allowed to rush in now, judging from the current casualties of the Japanese army, these five battalions may not pose a threat to the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops were well armed, and the troops were not yet in the middle of a melee, and once the five battalions of troops rushed in from outside the town, the battle was likely to be deadlocked.
The Japanese army on the offensive was terrible, but the Japanese army on the defensive was even more terrifying.
Once the Japanese army defended, even if the main force of the regular army of the Eighth Route Army came, it might not be the opponent of the Japanese army.
"Battalion Commander Su, the special agent battalion immediately retreated, and quickly entered the house to fight, and the special agent battalion will be exhausted if it continues to be fought like this."
After coming to the battalion headquarters, Sun Weiguo directly found Su Yulian, at this time, Su Yulian was not as stable as before, and he had a worried expression on his face.
Seeing the situation after his troops fought with the Japanese army, Su Yulian realized that one of his battalions could not compete with a squadron of the Japanese army.
Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Su Yulian was like seeing a savior, and he hurriedly came to Sun Weiguo's face.
"Platoon Commander Sun, if we retreat and the devil soldiers press up, the casualties will definitely be greater." Su Yulian said with a nervous face.
"Our district squad is here to resist the Japanese attack, we will buy you an hour, disperse the troops in all the rooms in the town, and cooperate with each other to fight devils, Battalion Commander Su, there is no time now, let the soldiers withdraw quickly." Sun Weiguo said hurriedly.
Su Yulian didn't take Sun Weiguo's words seriously before, but in a tight fight, his troops suffered more than ten casualties, and a Czech light machine gun was chanced.
Such a loss made Su Yulian realize that if he continued to fight hard with the Japanese army, all the special service battalions would be sacrificed, and he might not be able to kill a squadron of the Japanese army.
After hearing Sun Weiguo's words, Su Yulian gritted his teeth, he nodded, and quickly gave the order to retreat.
After the soldiers in the trenches received the order to retreat, they quickly evacuated the trenches, while Sun Weiguo left a Czech light machine gun, and he took the reconnaissance squad to garrison the government compound, and he wanted to lead the district squad to withstand the Japanese attack and buy time for the special service battalion to redeploy.
Before he suffered a loss, Su Yulian didn't care about Sun Weiguo's words, but the spy battalion suffered a loss, and Su Yulian obeyed Sun Weiguo's words.
After the troops of the special battalion withdrew from the trenches, the fighters, as instructed, quickly moved into the houses behind.
Captain Maruyama saw the retreat of the Eighth Route Army, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly: "Kill it, don't let go of a single Eighth Route Army, kill them all." ”
More than a hundred Japanese troops increased the pace of their advance, and light machine guns and grenadiers followed the riflemen.
The personnel of the squadron headquarters advanced rapidly under the leadership of Captain Maruyama, while the two Type 92 infantry guns prepared in the back were ready to shoot.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army has just withdrawn after making contact with the Maruyama squadron, they are not our opponents at all, they are cowardly."
An officer with the rank of Japanese captain came to Hasegawa, and he pointed to the evacuated soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and said with a contemptuous expression.
"Shoot, stop them!" Hasegawa gave the order.
Two infantry guns were loaded with high-explosive shells, and the gunners immediately launched an artillery fire.
Two high-explosive shells quickly struck the retreating fighters, and the high-explosive shells fell to the ground, producing a loud explosion.
Fortunately, the fighters had houses to block shrapnel, and only a few fighters were scratched by shrapnel.
If the fighters were in the trenches and high-explosive shells fell into the trenches, then the casualties would certainly be unimaginable.
"Kill and give." Seeing the infantry artillery fire support, Captain Maruyama brandished his saber vigorously.
More than 100 Japanese soldiers crossed the trenches and launched a pursuit of the evacuated special service battalion, not noticing that the fighters of the district squad were ready for battle in a row of houses three hundred meters away from them.
