Chapter 243 The brigade leader starts to panic
The puppet army walked behind the Japanese and surrounded most of the ammunition trucks.
After the convoy was attacked, they all lay on the ground after a brief chaos.
Seeing the Japanese being beaten to death, but even if there were no light and heavy machine guns firing at them, the fool could see that the guerrillas did not want to defend everyone, otherwise they would have to use their firepower to strike the Japanese, and they would only need to draw a few light machine guns to kill everyone.
The guerrillas did not kill them and gave them a chance to survive. Every puppet army remembered it in their hearts, and they all repaid their favors. They all lay on the ground and remained motionless, allowing the guerrillas to destroy the Japanese in front of the convoy.
There are several officers in the team who are hard-core supporters of the Japanese. They usually only follow the Japanese and do all the bad things. If they fall into the hands of the guerrillas, they will definitely die with the crimes they usually commit.
So they could not watch the Japanese being killed, and immediately call the soldiers around them to shoot at the guerrillas and support the Japanese.
Ordinary soldiers in the puppet army ignored these.
The guerrillas gave them a way to survive, and they could not get a bargain and then beat them the other way around.
Faced with the threat from the officers, all the guns were raised slightly or lowered to ensure that the bullets fired would not injure the guerrillas.
Especially after seeing that there were 20 or 30 people left in the Japanese to resist stubbornly, most of the puppet troops realized that the Japanese were finished.
At this time, helping the Japanese is to help the evildoer and seek death by himself.
After discussing several squad leaders who were unwilling to be traitors, they picked up the rifle and pointed it at their company platoon leader.
At this moment, they were still waving their pistols and rifles, shouting to order their subordinates to support the Japanese, without realizing that death had waved to them again.
“Baoba…”
Several squad leader pulled the trigger decisively. The company commander was shot in his heart and fell to the ground with incredible faces, his eyes wide open, and he didn't know how he died.
"Brothers, the Japanese are finished. We don't have to be traitors. We will attack the remaining Japanese with me and kill them with the ambush troops. We will also be anti-Japanese heroes." After a squad leader fired the gun, he shouted while pulling the bolt.
“Bah…”
This was the second bullet he fired. A grenade launcher hiding behind the ammunition truck fell down thirty meters away.
After firing the gun, he pulled the bolt again, looked at his subordinates who were still stunned and continued to shout: "Why are you still standing there? Shoot at the Japanese immediately. If you have revenge and revenge, we will also be anti-Japanese heroes, shoot..."
The last three words were yelled by the squad leader with all his strength.
Finally someone reacted and followed the squad leader to shoot at the Japanese.
The only remaining Japanese hiding behind the ammunition truck, able to block the machine gun bullets fired towards them, unable to block the bullets fired by the attacking troops behind them, nor could they block the bullets fired by the flanking puppet troops.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 remaining soldiers died again.
Seeing the puppet army rebelled, the living Japanese were completely desperate.
The squadron leader of the team said with a pale face and ordered: "Prepare the grenade, and burn the enemy who attacked us, and blow up the ammunition truck next to us."
"They can't even get what the Imperial Army can't get..."
After saying that, the squadron leader found two grenades from the corpse beside him, pulled out the insurance, and just waited for the ambush troops to rush over, detonated the grenade, exploded the ammunition truck, and the rushing national rescue army were both burned.
Whether it is the puppet army that revolted on the battlefield or the ambush troops rushing over from behind, they all know that the Japanese have the habit of destroying weapons and ammunition before they die.
Moreover, the ammunition truck is loaded with shells. If an accident occurs, dozens of meters around may be affected.
The puppet army was only twenty or thirty meters away from the Japanese, and would definitely be bombed.
Several squad leaders realized the danger as soon as they saw the Japanese preparing grenades: "The Japanese want to blow up the shells on the truck, shoot them quickly, otherwise we will be killed if the ammunition truck is detonated..."
More and more puppet troops joined the battle, and the Japanese were completely exposed to them and had no hiding place.
The ambush troops rushed over from behind also began to shoot. Although the bullets were very messy and far less dense than the bullets fired by machine guns, there were always a few bullets that were particularly accurate, and they kept taking away the lives of the remaining soldiers as if they had eyes.
The Japanese squadron leader was anxious.
Keep waiting, maybe the next person to be shot is yourself.
Immediately decided to detonate the ammunition truck in advance and how many enemies can be killed.
Holding the grenade, slamming it hard at the wheel of the car, and then stuffing it into the gap between the ammunition boxes.
Just after doing all this, a bullet hit him in the back, came out of his chest, and pierced him into his heart.
Blood and broken internal organs surged out quickly, and the strength of the whole body was instantly drained. There was no chance to continue detonating the second grenade. When his hand relaxed, he collapsed on the ground.
"Boom..." The first grenade detonated by the Japanese exploded.
The box of Japanese military uniform shells was very strong. After the grenade exploded, the shells surrounding the next to them were blown away together with the box.
Because the shells were fixed in the box and there was no fuse loading, the shells that hit the ground did not explode.
If the squadron leader just opened the box and threw the grenade into the shell, and exploded at close range by the shell, the high temperature generated by the grenade explosion alone could detonate the shell...
The former National Rescue Corps of Donghuizhen has been changed to the Japanese command center.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, a small team leader of the cavalry squadron rushed from the entrance of the town to the command department, turned over and jumped off the war horse, panted and rushed inside.
The brigade commander happened to be having supper. If there was no emergency, the subordinates would wait until the brigade commander finished eating before reporting.
The cavalry squad leader could not take care of so much, and rushed to the brigade commander like the wind, and reported anxiously: "Sir, something happened to the second batch of shells supplied to us by the county town!"
"The convoy was still attacked by unknown armed forces. This time the enemy not only used a large number of light machine guns, but also used two heavy machine guns to participate in the battle."
"All the Imperial Army escorted the shells were killed in battle, most of the Imperial Army were captured, and disappeared along with the ammunition they transported..."
"Crash..." A string of crisp metal impact sounded at the command center, and the angry brigade commander smashed the tableware on the table to the ground.
After that, I was still not satisfied and stood up and turned up the table for eating.
Then he started to curse: "Bageyalu...we underestimate the enemy..."
"The National Salvation Army hidden between the county town and Donghui Town is not an ordinary infantry company at all. They have at least one strengthening company's strength!"
The chief of staff stood up: "Sir, please calm down!"
"After the first time the transport team was attacked, I began to investigate the sneak attack force. After repeated confirmation by the intelligence department and the reconnaissance force: the National Rescue Army has not left the base in the past few days, and no heavy machine guns have left. Will there be someone else in the enemy of the transport team be attacked?"
A surprise flashed quickly across the brigade commander's face, staring at the chief of staff and asked, "Can you be responsible for what you just said?"
"Hi!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"The intelligence department and the investigation forces have been keeping eye on Donghui Town and Zhangzhuang Town, so they will definitely not read it wrong."
"Then Beizhi also thought about whether they would leave Donghui Town as a team as they did when they entered the mountain just now, and then gather together!"
"After analysis, we came to the conclusion that the National Salvation Army could transfer troops from Donghui Town in this way, but there was no way to transfer heavy machine guns from here."
"There is another thing that can prove my judgment: the National Salvation Army stationed here has only one thousand people after the new recruits are reduced, and it has three main companies under its jurisdiction, one cavalry company, one artillery company, one guard company, and one baggage company..."
"During the night attack last night, the National Salvation Army dispatched at least two main companies and had to divide a main company to stay in the position of the main company, which means that the main forces of the National Salvation Army are in Donghui Town, and it is impossible to suddenly divide a reinforcement company and run behind us to attack the baggage force."
The brigade commander was convinced by the chief of staff, but his mood became worse.
The only opponent I had to consider before was the National Salvation Army. After analysis by the Chief of Staff, I discovered that there was a mysterious opponent hidden in the pacification territory with a dragon head but no tail hidden.
What soldiers fear the most is against an unknown enemy.
If the opponent's strength is not very strong, then it's nothing. At most, it will affect the speed of his attack on the National Salvation Army.
If the other party is strong enough and cooperates with the National Salvation Army, it is possible to leave yourself in Donghui Town.
The brigade commander felt more and more anxious as he thought about it. He strode to the map, stared at the topographic map between Donghui Town and the county town and then looked twice before asking: "Can you tell how many troops the enemy attacking the transport team has?"
The cavalry team leader thought for a while and replied: "Judged from the hiding position they exposed: the troops should be about 300!"
The brigade commander analyzed with a calm face: "More than 300 people are equipped with heavy machine guns and a large number of light machine guns, which is the force of a battalion. What I am most worried about is whether they still have hidden strength when they attack our second wave of transportation teams, and whether there are still troops and heavy weapons that we don't know are not exposed."
"If not, we can ignore them for the time being and then turn back and deal with them after killing the National Salvation Army."
"If there is, it will be dangerous. We must find this army, kill them, and ensure that logistics supplies are not interrupted, and then we can attack the National Salvation Army without any worries."
The Chief of Staff reminded: "The county town sent us two ammunition, and all the escort troops were killed. More than 300 people were lost in total, and the excess troops could no longer be sent!"
"If you want to find this mysterious army and kill them, you must send troops from us and send heavy troops, otherwise it will be a problem for self-protection!"
The brigade commander shook his head: "Our troops cannot move either!"
"The national-salvation army in the mountains is more powerful than I imagined. Only by gathering the troops together can they threaten their safety. If the troops are dispersed, they will definitely run out of the mountains, defeat the troops we sent out, and take the opportunity to consume our strength..."
