Chapter 242: Still Intercepted

The atmosphere in the town became obviously depressed because of this accident.

Looking at the brigade commander whose face was once again covered in anger, no one dared to answer the conversation rashly.

Until the brigade commander spoke again: "After the troops entered the mountain, due to the terrain restrictions, the role of mortars is much larger than that of mountain cannons, so we must carry a sufficient number of mortar shells to enter the mountain to chase and kill the national rescue army."

"Chief of Staff, you will give the remaining mortars to the pacification troops: send us all the remaining mortars in the ammunition depot."

"By the way, send a telegram to Yangquan and ask them to transfer two thousand mortar shells to supplement the pacification arsenal."

"Remind to pacify the left-behind troops: a company of the national rescue army lurked on the way from the county town to Donghui Town, but was not equipped with heavy weapons. In order to ensure the safe delivery of the second batch of shells to the front line, the left-behind troops sent at least two infantry squads and an Imperial Army of a company to send each other!"

"Don't worry, sir, please give me some advice on the left-behind troops to ensure that there will be no problems with this transportation." The Chief of Staff replied very seriously.

The brigade commander then turned his attention to the captain next to him: "Notify the troops that we will not enter the mountain today, and we will set up camp in the town tonight!"

"You are responsible for the security of your station tonight. You must not be attacked by the National Rescue Army for a night like last night."

In the valley where the guerrillas were hiding, everyone was immersed in the joy of winning the battle.

The two squadron leaders were checking the spoils and confirmed that all they had seized were shells, a hint of disappointment flashed between their eyebrows, but they did not get nothing.

At least the seized mortar shells can be used, and the machine guns and bullets seized from the escort troops are also treasures, and they can be used by equipping the troops.

After the two discussed, they each moved away ten boxes of shells, and then divided the seized weapons and ammunition into two, then smiled with satisfaction. They just waited for the battle to end and handed over the remaining shells to the regiment headquarters.

Although there were not many weapons, they were enough to expand two infantry squads.

More importantly, the troops captured 26 prisoners, and the two instructors had taken action, stayed among the prisoners to do their ideological work, mobilizing them to join the guerrillas...

"Captain, there is a new situation in the county town!" The squad leader who monitored the county town appeared in front of Liu Shuihe again, with a hint of nervousness between his eyebrows, and he reported while gasping.

"Did the Japanese in the county find us?" Liu Shuihe asked in his heart.

The more than 2,000 artillery shells that the guerrillas had just seized had not been transported away yet. If Japanese and puppet troops came here now, it would definitely be very troublesome.

"We didn't find us!" The squad leader quickly shook his head.

"It was the Japanese who started to send ammunition supplies to Donghui Town again. This time, ten large trucks were released, just like the convoy just now, all filled with ammunition boxes. But the escort troops were several times more than before."

"There are two small teams of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops, with a total of more than 200 people. The light machine guns are equipped with seven!"

When Liu Shuihe heard this, his eyes began to shine, and chased the squad leader and asked: "Are they equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars!"

The squad leader shook his head: "The Japanese and puppet troops escorting the convoy did not see it. They were carrying crawlers and grenade launchers. I don't know if there were any on the ten large trucks."

"It doesn't matter what you have on the cart. If it does, it will be packed in a box. It will take a long time to assemble it!" Liu Shuihe breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his attention to Luo Tianyu: "Captain Luo, what I said just now. If we don't use heavy machine guns and mortars, the Japanese will despise us. If we send troops to escort the convoy, we will not strengthen too much troops and firepower."

"The newly sent transportation team from the Japanese devils really responded to our judgment. I decided to concentrate all the troops and firepower of the two guerrilla squadrons to eat this transportation team. What do you think?"

Luo Tianyu finally understood why the regiment commander asked Liu Shuihe to be the commander rather than himself.

In terms of combat command, Liu Shuihe is indeed better than himself, and he thinks more carefully and maturely.

If you were to command the ambush just now, you would definitely dispatch heavy machine guns. Then the Japanese would know the true strength of the guerrillas. The transport teams that are coming out now are heavy troops equipped with mortars and heavy machine guns, rather than two hundred light infantrymen.

In admiration, he immediately replied: "I listen to you, you can fight whatever you say!"

Liu Shuihe nodded: "Then let's start taking action now and bring the two crooked handles I just seized. With them joining us, our first round of firepower attacks can kill at least five more Japanese devils!"

The Japanese who escorted the transport team was led by a squadron leader, and they were particularly vigilant all the way.

Two hours after leaving the city, they arrived at the battlefield where the guerrillas ambushed the convoy for the first time, and more than twenty bodies fell on the road.

Most of these people were subordinates of the squadron leader. Seeing them lying naked on the ground and even their military uniforms were taken away, all the Japanese thought that the enemy was humiliating them, and their faces looked very bad: they thought in their hearts that if they were killed, would they lie here naked like them? If no one restrained their bodies, they might be taken away by wild wolves. It was so miserable...

The squadron leader wanted to stop the convoy and sort out the bodies of his subordinates a little, at least not let them lie so naked on the ground and storm the wilderness.

However, the military situation was urgent, and the brigade commander only gave them four hours of marching. If they were late, they would definitely be punished.

In the end, I could only order the troops to pass through the middle of the corpse and take them away when I returned.

After this incident, the atmosphere in the team became obviously depressed. All the Japanese lowered their heads, looked heavy, and their steps under their feet became much faster without realizing it.

Everyone wants to send supplies to Donghui Town as soon as possible, return as soon as possible, and take back the corpses of their comrades back so that they can continue to corpse in the wilderness...

The marching speed became faster, and the Japanese were thinking about comrades who were still in the wilderness behind them, so their vigilance became worse without realizing it.

All the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the guerrillas were ambushed behind the earth beam on one side of the official road, and two heavy machine guns were at the front of the entire ambush battlefield because two Japanese infantry squads were walking in the front.

A total of twelve light machine guns were all scattered around the heavy machine guns, and they concentrated on firing the Japanese in the middle of the convoy, preparing to kill at least half of the Japanese in the first round of fire.

Ordinary riflesmen ambushed in the cornfield on the other side of the official road. As soon as the battle started, they rushed out of the cornfield, killed Shangguan Road from different directions, strangled the remaining Japanese and puppet troops, and used bayonets to resolve the battle.

At that time, the attention and firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops will definitely be on the machine gun positions, and the rifleman will be able to kill Shangguandao with the minimum casualties...

Liu Shuihe half-squatted next to the heavy machine gunner, controlling the best time to fire the machine gun.

Luo Tianyu and the riflemen were ambushed together and commanded all the riflesmen to launch assaults on the Japanese and puppet troops.

"Fire the gun..." Liu Shuihe ordered when more than a hundred Japanese were marching in front of the machine gun position.

"Dongdongdongdong..." Two heavy machine guns on the left and right suddenly made a dull strafing sound. The bullet board entered from the left and right of the machine gun. In the blink of an eye, a bullet board was shot out...

Light machine gunners fired together. Compared with heavy machine guns, their shooting was more flexible. Each machine gun stared at two or three Japanese. The officers and machine gun team were the best. They tried their best to hold the fire and fired the bullets at the fastest rate of fire.

After a magazine is empty, immediately replace it with a backup magazine and continue to shoot...

The machine gunner who controls the crooked handle is more troublesome. He holds the machine gun handle in one hand and pulls the trigger with the other hand, presses the bullet plate with the other to ensure that the bullets in the magazine enter the chamber normally.

After quickly emptying the bullets in the bullet bay, I had to stop and reload the bullet bay again before I could continue shooting...

This was originally a matter of a deputy shooter, but because the guerrillas used machine guns were made by Czech, they rarely contacted the crooked archer. They searched the entire guerrillas but couldn't find a suitable crooker. In the end, they could only hand over the loading task to the machine gunner. In this way, the crooked archer's firing rate was twice as slow as usual!

The squadron leader of the Japanese team was shocked by the sudden firepower.

As soon as the dense machine gun fire sounded, I saw the surrounding subordinates slumped to the ground one after another, and each of them had at least one blood hole.

He was lucky. Although he was stared at by two light machine guns, he was surrounded by a large number of subordinates because he was the squadron leader.

After being attacked, all of these subordinates subconsciously blocked bullets for him and protected him for safety.

So, the squadron leader who was attacked by the key points survived and quickly lay on the ground.

A quick glance around gave me a rough understanding of the situation on the battlefield. I pulled out the command knife with a "swish..." and pointed at the machine gun position.

"The enemy is one hundred meters to our left, and all machine guns are fired, and the cover grenade canister will kill them."

Only after four or five seconds did a light machine gun sound intermittently.

The squadron leader was very dissatisfied with his subordinates' reaction. He was about to curse, and a Chief Cao shouted: "Sir, all the machine gun teams were attacked by the enemy and were all killed in battle. They could not fight back..."

"Sir, the grenade launchers also suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy's firepower was too strong, so the remaining grenade launchers could not shoot at the enemy at all." Another Chief Cao reported.

The squadron leader frowned and scolded: "Are they all pigs? They won't think of a way themselves! The enemy moves behind the big truck with great firepower. Didn't they see the enemy's firepower deliberately avoid those big trucks? The enemy must want to seize the ammunition on the car, and then they dare not shoot at the ammunition on the car!"

When his subordinates heard this, their eyes lit up. Just as they were about to go to execute, a scream from behind them interrupted their dreams.

"Sir, there are enemies behind us who are killed..."

Nearly three hundred guerrillas suddenly rushed out of the cornfield two hundred meters away, holding guns, and rushing towards the convoy.

The squadron leader looked back and his face began to turn pale. He subconsciously shouted: "Half-parted warriors stop them, grenade launcher shoot quickly, and knock off the enemy's machine gun position!"

More than thirty Japanese soldiers turned around immediately, but as soon as they moved, their backs were exposed to the machine gun.

The dense bullets flying from the machine gun position took away more than a dozen Japanese lives in one go.

Fortunately, two grenade launchers joined the battle at this time, and the violent explosion not only destroyed a light machine gun, but also affected other machine guns.

The Japanese seized the opportunity to shoot a round of bullets at the rifleman, killing and injuring seven or eight soldiers.

But the good luck of the Japanese ended here.

The machine gunner, who was frightened by the grenade, quickly reacted and immediately moved the target to the Japanese who could move the battlefield, and fired desperately, preparing to kill them by relying on firepower density.

As a result, more than ten Japanese were killed, and less than twenty Japanese were left to fight stubbornly around the squadron leader.
