Chapter 48: Siege and Reinforcement (4)
At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, two trucks with a long slip of bicycles and mules and horses appeared on the road to Caojiazhuang, and the group of soldiers on the two three-wheeled motorcycles only fired a few shots at the cemetery next to the road, and then gestured to show that there was no danger, and let the convoy behind them continue to move forward, motorcycles, trucks, bicycles, mules and horses roared past, what they didn't expect was that there were several black holes in the cemetery that had been confirmed as safe by the soldiers and the muzzles were pointed at them.
The main force of the mixed army ordered to block the mixed army in the deserted village was more than 30 prisoners of war of the Eighth Route Army rescued from the Caoling Coal Mine, Zhao Zhi only gave them dozens of 38 rifles and sufficient ammunition, and Zhao Zhi's snipers and mortars were arranged in other places, plus mercenaries and prisoners of war of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Zhi arranged more than 50 people here in the deserted village, and they only needed to block the vanguard of the 120 people, and consume their vital strength as much as possible while fighting.
As Zhao Zhi thought, as the vanguard of the mixed convoy sent a team of two three-wheeled motorcycles, they put all their attention on this deserted village on the side of the highway, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who are good at guerrilla warfare are well hidden, whether it is the fire reconnaissance of the vanguard or the search in the village, they have not exposed their targets, "Squad leader, do you say that we can stop the little devil." Looking at the back of the top soldiers of the Yue Army out of the village, the little soldier Niu Dan who came out of the hidden point asked his old squad leader Liang Kuan in a low voice.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, we didn't want to block them, just entangle them" Liang Kuan gently pulled the bolt to load the bullet, waiting for the shooting order, around him there were also a few soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, everyone was doing the same action as Liang Kuan, since they were captured by the Yue Army, they were always thinking about being able to pick up the gun and kill the Yue Army, if it weren't for the injured instructor, they would have fought with the Yue Army in the Caoling Coal Mine, and now there is such an opportunity, Each of them waited with bated breath as the angry bullets from their guns were fired at the puppet soldiers who came from the road.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, the convoy drove towards the deserted village, "bang" and "bang" two gunshots sounded almost at the same time, the driver of the truck was shocked, and he lay on the steering wheel unconsciously, "fire" Liang Kuan, who heard the gunshot, came to the spirit, yelled and first pulled the trigger, with the beating of the gun, the soldier he was aiming at fell from the motorcycle, "pop" "pop" "pop" "pop" The bullets fired from the deserted village rushed to the puppet army on the road, knocking down a few of the panicked puppet army, Frightened, the Imperial Association Army, who were riding bicycles and mules and horses, hurriedly jumped off the roadbed and hid.
"Spread out, spread out, change places with one shot, remember, our task is to entangle these guys" Liang Kuan turned over and squatted behind a broken wall, pulled the bolt and pressed the bullet into the chamber, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who followed him also ran out of bullets in the chamber, and also turned over and began to press the bullets, "boom" "boom" The grenadiers that Zhao Zhi allocated to them also began to bombard like the puppet army on the highway, but the puppet army hid, and the grenade grenade that exploded on the highway was greater than its damage.
After the hidden sniper only fired two shots, there was no movement, Zhao Zhi's order to them was to entangle this group of puppet army, not to fight against them here, it was Ye Kong who took this group of mercenaries, he was too lazy to deal with the Eighth Route Army and the puppet army that were fighting, as long as this group of puppet soldiers was not thinking about slipping away, he and the mercenaries were resolutely not to shoot, the number of mercenaries was not much, and if one died, there would be one less, Ye Kong didn't want to waste his snipers on such combat power, and it was good to stay and watch the show.
After a moment of panic, the puppet army was caught off guard by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were ambushed in the deserted village, and after a moment of panic, they stood firm, and began to shoot at the Eighth Route Army with the help of mules, horses and trucks as cover, but their machine gun attracted bullets as soon as it fired, and the machine gun shooter and the deputy shooter were almost simultaneously opened by the bullets. Not only did the machine guns and grenadiers not go off, but everyone who tried to get close to them was killed by bullets one by one.
"Ye Zi, let's fight, it is not enough to rely on those Eighth Route Army alone, if they are killed early, they can also go to the front to help Mr. clean up the other soldiers" Chekov, who had been fiddling with mortars, was a little anxious, Zhao Zhi transferred him and the mortars to the deserted village here, thinking that the army had trucks, and he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would not be able to stop these puppet troops, once they rushed over and ran to Caojiazhuang, Zhao Zhi's entire battle plan would be disjointed, so Chekov's mortars became a sharp weapon to suppress the army trucks, But Ye Kong didn't speak for a long time, no wonder Chekov was in a hurry.
"What are you anxious about, Mr. said, until the critical time, your mortar can't move, once the puppet army below knows that we have artillery in our hands, they will turn around and run back to the cemetery, the machine gun group can't block the attack from both sides, you know." Ye Kong reprimanded Chekov seriously, "The snipers fire freely, only hit the army, and hand over the Imperial Association Army to the Eighth Road below to deal with" Ye Kong's order, the army lying on both sides of the road suffered a disaster, and the snipers who were more than 200 meters away from them were biting the flesh, but the 38 rifles in their hands could not hit the snipers, this is the reason why the weapons are backward and they will be beaten.
At this point in the battle, the puppet army that was ambushed also figured out, the other party wanted to entangle them here, with the help of the terrain advantage to slowly exhaust their troops, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army hidden in the deserted village each had 100 bullets on their bodies, they were not in a hurry at all, they just relied on the cover to shoot calmly, and they would change their position once after two shots, and the puppet army on the road could not determine their specific location at all.
Several times, under the leadership of the veterans of the army, the puppet soldiers have rushed to the edge of the village, but they were beaten back by a row of guns, and finally they could only shoot across the road and the eight roads in the village, those who broke away from the cover of the trucks, one by one were knocked down by bullets fired from afar, until the road and the village were full of corpses and screaming wounded soldiers, the "detonating truck" could not bear it, a soldier Cao felt out a grenade and threw it into the cab of the truck, as the vanguard they did not carry a radio, unable to pass on the news of the attack, I wanted to use the smoke from the burning of the truck as a warning sign to remind Hashimoto Mayama with the rear team.
