Chapter 016 The Lucky Star of the Independent Regiment
In a hilly area 500 meters away, the planned retreat route of the machine gun team was stuck halfway up the mountain.
Huang Yu and two veterans arrived here in advance to lurk. As soon as they climbed to the top of the mountain, they heard Kong Jie calling: "Xiao Huang, your place is here!"
"I have arranged the machine gun position. Five crooked guns fire from different angles to form cross fire to kill the little Japs who enter the pocket formation. Prioritize the machine gunners and grenadier soldiers who pose the greatest threat to us."
"A few veterans with good marksmanship are responsible for shooting Japanese officers above Cao Zhang. After killing the target, they can shoot freely!"
"Huang Yu has the best marksmanship. He is responsible for killing the Japanese squadron leader. I am responsible for the Japanese squad leader!"
In small-scale battles, assigning attack targets to each soldier can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the unit and prevent two people from shooting the same target at the same time and wasting bullets.
Kong Jie obviously knew this, and arranged it for Huang Yu as soon as he showed up.
Putting the box cannon aside, he picked up a 38 cap that was handed over by the sneak attack team, loaded the bullet, and aimed steadily at the mountainside...
Not to be outdone, Huang Yu rushed to the combat position and hid behind a bush, half-crouching on the ground, ready to shoot.
The more than 40 Japanese soldiers showed no signs of vigilance and did not hesitate to get into the pocket formation.
The moment Kong Jie pulled the trigger, Huang Yu followed suit.
The crooked handlers who were ambushing around opened fire together with more than thirty rifles. Although the gunfire was short, the bullets fired were very accurate.
Before the forty or so Japs on the road had time to react, more than half of the soldiers had blood holes drilled into their chests, and several Japs machine gunners and grenadier soldiers were hit by multiple bullets, leaving their bodies as battered as a hornet's nest.
…
When Captain Miyazaki was shot, he still had a smile on his face and dreamed of destroying the sneak attack team.
As soon as the gunshots rang out around him, a bloody hole was made in his chest. He didn't even have a chance to lie down. He just lost his life here and no longer had to think about the so-called future.
Huang Yu killed Captain Miyazaki with one shot, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had killed a very ordinary little devil.
Pull the bolt quickly to push a new bullet into the chamber.
"Snapped……"
The second bullet quickly flew out of the gun barrel and penetrated into the back of a Japanese soldier who had just laid down.
"Snapped……"
The regiment leader Kong Jie fired a second bullet at the same time, and his marksmanship was not inferior to that of Huang Yu, killing a Japanese who wanted to fight back with a gun.
"Pa bang bang..."
The two of them were just like competing to kill Japanese soldiers. They kept repeating the shooting action, one shot for you and one shot for me. The shooting speed was at least 50% faster than that of ordinary riflemen.
When he pulled the bolt again and prepared to fire the fifth bullet, there was not a single moving kid on the mountainside.
The ground was littered with corpses and weapons and ammunition.
Kong Jie suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed the box cannon on the ground and rushed forward, shouting as he rushed: "Rush over and clean the battlefield. The main force of the Japanese here is very close. We must retreat within five minutes..."
"Come on...comrades, charge on..."
Forty or fifty figures immediately jumped out of the bushes. A few soldiers rushed so fast that they didn't even take off the camouflaged thatch on their bodies, and rushed towards the mountainside with guns in hand...
Although there were not many people, the momentum was very strong, and there were loud shouts of killing.
Kong Jie, as always, rushed to the front of the team, facing the enemy. As soon as he got excited, he forgot the promise he made a few hours ago not to take risks himself.
Huang Yu smiled bitterly, but he could understand.
Rush to the front when in danger. This combat style has been deeply rooted in the bones of these old revolutionaries. They will definitely not be able to change it in a short time, so they can only follow in a hurry!
The group leader arranged in advance for a special person to keep an eye on each little devil and beat them. The responsibility was assigned to each person, and the effect was very good.
More than half of the forty-odd Japs suffered casualties after just one round of bullets. Commander Cao, the machine gunner, the grenadier, and the squad leader who posed the greatest threat to the Eighth Route Army were all dead.
The remaining twenty or so riflemen were pinned to the ground by five crooked handles, without even a chance to raise their heads.
Huang Yu and several veterans took the opportunity to shoot and quickly eliminated them all.
When Kong Jie rushed to the mountainside, he could no longer see a living Japanese at his feet.
But he was not idle. He squatted next to a corpse and began to disarm his belt, take off his clothes, and take off his shoes... These behaviors were even worse than a bandit.
The other soldiers were even more outrageous than Kong Jie, not even sparing the socks the Japanese wore on their feet.
After cleaning the battlefield, there were more than forty naked corpses of Japanese soldiers halfway up the mountain, and not even a single bullet casing was left.
Kong Jie used the captured armed belt to tie together the cotton uniforms and shoes that had been stripped off the Japs. He put them on his back and said with satisfaction: "The Japs are indeed extremely rich. The weapons, ammunition and military uniforms of an infantry squad are enough for us."
One can be used together. With these seizures, the Independent Regiment will definitely have a good year!"
Huang Yu reminded in a low voice: "Captain, there are still more than a dozen corpses on the way the Japs are chasing the machine gun team. Their main force has been moved to the front by instructor Xiao. Reinforcements are coming from other directions. Why don't you send someone to kill them?"
The military uniforms, weapons and ammunition are also taken back!"
"You prodigal son, of course you have to get so many cotton military uniforms, weapons and ammunition back!" Kong Jie glared at Huang Yu and said.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and half of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment have not yet received their winter clothes. The Japanese's cotton military uniforms are thick and of good quality. A dozen or so cotton military uniforms can be modified for two squads."
"The first squad will immediately go out and hand over the seizures to other soldiers. Immediately go with Comrade Huang Yu to other places to clean up the battlefield. The speed must be fast. If you encounter little devils, just avoid them if you can!"
Huang Yu caught up with Kong Jie half an hour later. Every soldier who left with him was carrying an extra 38-meter cover, an armed belt full of bullet boxes, a bundle of cotton military uniforms and shoes...
Everyone was smiling and happier than during the Chinese New Year.
Kong Jie's face lit up with joy, he patted Huang Yu on the shoulder and sighed: "You are definitely my lucky star, Kong Jie!"
"Do you know how much benefit we gained from the ambush battle just now?"
"In addition to the weapons, ammunition and supplies you just brought back, there are three crooked handles, three grenades, thirty-six and thirty-eight covers, eight pistols, one hundred and twenty-six grenades, thirty rounds
Grenades, more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition, 54 sets of cotton military uniforms..."
"I won't go into details about other messy little things. The weapons and ammunition alone can increase the independent regiment's combat effectiveness by 20%!"
"The Japanese troops who are chasing us are also more cautious and don't dare to chase after us as tightly as before!"
"I asked the fifth company commander Tang Bing to lead an infantry squad to take over the sneak attack team and shoot coldly around the Japanese to continue to consume their physical strength and troops."
"The Japanese didn't dare to chase us after dark. The troops took the opportunity to break away from them and get rid of the pursuit!"
