Chapter 015: Kong Jie is here (seeking further reading)
"Da da da……"
The sound of gunfire sounded again from the flank of the team, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in Yoshida Masaichi's mind.
The mission of the second wave of attacking troops was to hunt down the Eighth Route Army machine gun teams.
The exchange of fire between the two sides ended, and there was no news from the attacking troops. The hunted Eighth Route Army machine gun team appeared again around the main force. Without thinking, it was known that the attacking troops had an accident.
His face instantly darkened, and he asked the troops to organize a fire counterattack while analyzing ways to break the situation.
If something unexpected happened to the second wave of troops, the first wave of troops who also disappeared must also have had an accident, which meant that the two rounds of firefights he heard were not the troops hunting the Eighth Route Army, but the Eighth Route Army ambushing the hunting troops.
The squadron leader, Captain Toyokawa, also realized something was wrong and frowned and analyzed: "Captain, if all the two waves of troops we sent out have accidents, judging from the sound of the two rounds of firefights, the Eighth Route Army operating around us has at least one reinforced squad.
"
"If all the weapons equipped by the attacking troops are captured by them, this Eighth Route Army will be equipped with at least four light machine guns and have more firepower than one of our infantry squads. We must immediately strengthen our defenses!"
Yoshida Shoichi was convinced and replied with a stern face: "The opponent's military strength should be about the same as your guess. In terms of firepower, he is equipped with at most two crooked weapons."
"They only have one reinforced squad, and no matter how many crooked tricks they seize, no one will use them!"
"No matter how crooked their equipment is, we must immediately send troops to destroy this Eighth Route Army!" Captain Toyokawa's tone suddenly became serious, and he looked at Yoshida Shoichi and made a serious suggestion.
"This Eighth Route Army has killed more than 40 of us in a row, which has seriously affected the morale and morale of the troops. If they continue to operate around the troops and shoot cold shots around the troops, the losses of the troops will definitely become greater and greater, and the morale of the soldiers will become lower and lower.
"
"If the captain believes in his humble position, I am willing to personally lead two infantry squads to outflank this Eighth Route Army. I will definitely kill them all and avenge the warriors who died in the battle."
The other squadron leader, Captain Miyazaki, was very angry. He did not expect that his comrade and opponent, Captain Toyokawa, was so cunning. As he spoke, he began to ask the squadron leader for a fight.
If he hadn't been listening to the conversation between the two, he might have taken away the mission of destroying the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack force.
This Eighth Route Army is very cunning and has strong combat effectiveness, but it only has one reinforced squad.
It should be easy to complete this task, and whoever grabs it will earn it.
Such a good thing must not be monopolized by Captain Toyokawa. Not willing to lag behind, he stood up and asked for a fight: "Captain, I only need one infantry squad to destroy this Eighth Route Army!"
"I trust your judgment: the opponent only has one reinforced squad and two crooked weapons. One infantry squad is enough. Please approve it, captain!"
Captain Miyazaki flattered him at the right time, and the troops needed were few, so Yoshida Shoichi immediately decided to let him send troops.
When Huang Yu led the machine gun team to sneak attack on the Japanese again, as soon as the brief gunfire ended, he saw more than fifty Japanese running towards the machine gun position.
"The Japs think too highly of us. They will attack with a full infantry squad. They are trying to push us to death!" Huang Yu's face instantly darkened, and a trace of worry flashed across his calm face.
But it only lasted a few seconds before he regained his fighting spirit.
Looking at the veteran beside him, he began to give orders: "Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and soil will cover it, there is nothing to worry about!"
"If the Japs have more troops, we will use guerrilla warfare to slowly defeat them. The worst thing we can do is spend a little more time. This is our Eighth Route Army's special skill. I believe we can't deal with these little Japs!"
"The machine gun team retreated as planned. We covered them, first in the light and then in the dark, and slowly dealt with them!"
Quickly open the rifle safety, pull the bolt, push a bullet into the chamber, and be ready to shoot.
The two veterans also calmed down from the initial panic, pulled the bolts of their guns together, and got ready to shoot...
"Captain, the commander has an order for you!" Zhong Chengjun, a veteran who delivered weapons to Kong Jie, ran back before Huang Yu fired.
"It is said that the Japanese's third wave of attack troops must have at least one infantry squad. The sneak attack squadron is far different in strength from them. We must not act rashly. If there is any action, we must ensure that there are no casualties in the sneak attack squadron!"
"The head of the regiment personally led a reinforced platoon to reinforce us and strive for both sides to join forces to eat the third wave of Japanese troops!"
"The leader is awesome!" Huang Yu exclaimed directly.
"Just now I was thinking of ways to quickly eliminate the infantry squad that the Japs had just sent, and he immediately led the reinforcements over. It was like dozing off and giving him a pillow!"
"Our plan remains unchanged. We will continue to sneak attacks on the Japanese and consume their troops. As soon as the regimental leader arrives, we will find a place to end the battle!"
"Snapped……"
After Huang Yu finished speaking, he fired the bullets from the barrel of his gun. The two veterans shot at the same time. Three of the Japanese soldiers who were on their way fell to the ground.
Captain Miyazaki was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that there were Eighth Route Army sharpshooters around to provide cover for their machine gun team.
Subconsciously, he thought of dividing his troops and eating both targets in one go.
But he swallowed the order before it even reached his lips.
He thought of the first two waves of troops that had been in trouble.
A strengthened detachment is no match for the surrounding Eighth Route Army. After the sub-units under his command are divided, the combat effectiveness of each unit is only slightly stronger than that of the strengthened detachment, and it is certainly no match for the Eighth Route Army.
If he was defeated by the Eighth Route Army one by one, his reputation would be ruined, and his promise to Captain Yoshida Shoichi would not be fulfilled.
If he loses the trust of his superiors, he will become rootless and hopeless in the Sakata Alliance, and his position as squadron leader will be completely ended.
He took a deep breath and calmly ordered: "Ignore the enemy's cold guns, speed up and continue to chase the Eighth Route Army machine gun team!"
"First kill the enemy that poses the greatest threat to us, and then go back and deal with the sharpshooters..."
Captain Miyazaki's decision was very rational, but he and Yoshida Shoichi made the same mistake, both greatly underestimated the strength of their opponents.
"Pa bang bang..."
More than ten minutes later, Huang Yu and two veterans pulled the trigger again and killed three more Japs in pursuit.
The Japanese were indifferent and continued to advance after a burst of fire counterattack.
Half an hour later, Huang Yu and two veterans launched a fourth attack on the Japanese, and three more Japanese fell to their guns.
Captain Miyazaki continued to pursue forward as before.
He had already seen the Eighth Route Army machine gun team.
Two Eighth Route Army soldiers, one carrying a crooked handle and the other carrying ammunition, rushed forward madly to "escape".
Perhaps carrying the machine gun consumes too much physical strength, and their transfer speed is constantly slowing down.
Captain Miyazaki felt that he was about to complete the mission, his eyes were shining with excitement, and he became more and more excited as he rushed, and his vigilance also dropped to the bottom at this moment.
