"Captain, the Japs really left the wounded behind. How did you guess it in advance?" Seeing that the Japs actually left dozens of wounded on the roadside high ground, Zhong Chengjun admired Huang Yu.
After Huang Yu told him just now that the Japanese would definitely leave the wounded behind and advance lightly, Zhong Chengjun didn't believe it at all, and even vowed to bet Huang Yu ten bullets.
When the troops were divided, he received fifty bullets for himself. Huang Yu was the best marksman in the rear group, so the regimental commander specially approved a hundred bullets.
Zhong Chengjun had no objection to the regiment leader's decision. In his eyes, those bullets were earned by Huang Yu's ability, but that didn't mean he wasn't jealous of those bullets.
As soon as the troops were divided, he focused on the bullets on Huang Yu's body. For some reason, he got excited and made a bet with Huang Yu.
It was heartbreaking to lose ten bullets, but Zhong Chengjun was more excited.
The Japanese left their wounded behind and divided their forces again, which gave the rear troops an opportunity to fight a battle of annihilation.
As long as the captain leads everyone to eliminate the wounded Japanese, the ten bullets lost in the bet can be recovered at any time through seizure.
But what he wanted to know most now was how the captain judged that the Japanese would leave wounded soldiers behind.
It's like he can predict the future, and he can clearly predict the enemy's next move. It's amazing.
Maybe after understanding it, you can learn a lot from it!
Huang Yu had no intention of hiding anything. Seeing that Zhong Chengjun was sincerely asking for advice, he directly asked: "What do you think is the main reason why the Japanese want to catch up with the regiment leader?"
"When it gets dark, the Japanese are afraid that they will become our easy targets, so it is difficult to light torches!"
"As a result, the marching speed was too slow, and the regimental commander immediately left them far behind!"
"In order not to lose track of the target, the Japanese had to risk being a target and march with torches, so that they could keep up with the regiment leader and the others."
Zhong Chengjun suddenly patted his head and exclaimed with a look of realization: "I seem to understand!"
"Not lighting the torches will affect the marching speed of the little devils, and too many wounded will also affect the marching speed of the troops!"
"So Captain, you asked us to only injure the Japanese, not kill them!"
"Causing a large number of wounded to the Japanese and slowing down their march."
"They want to maintain their marching speed and keep up with the regiment commander, so they must abandon the wounded!"
"This is a great idea. You have planned to kill the Japanese from the very beginning and jumped into the big hole you dug for them step by step."
"But the leader and the others are in danger!"
"Without the casualties, the enemy's pursuit speed will definitely increase sharply."
"The leader carried a large amount of seizures and was chased by the Japanese for six or seven hours. He didn't even have a chance to breathe and rest. His speed was definitely not as fast as the little Japanese. What if he was caught up?"
Huang Yu answered confidently: "Then you underestimate the leader!"
"I am 80% sure that there is no leader in the team that the Japanese are chasing."
"We are good at fighting at night, and it is common to smear the advance at night. Do you think the regimental leader will march with a torch, for fear that the Japanese will not know where he is?"
"I understand, this is the regiment leader's trick to deceive the soldiers... The team holding the torches are the deceivers sent by him to attract the little devils to follow the torches and pursue them. The main force has already taken the capture and disappeared without a trace!"
"Then we can rest assured to take care of the wounded left here by the Japanese without worrying about the safety of the regiment leader!"
"Captain, you give us the order on how we will fight next!" After saying this, Zhong Chengjun's eyes started to shine, staring at the hilltop not far away occupied by the Japanese wounded soldiers with a look of anticipation on his face.
"This annihilation battle tonight will last for three hours!" Huang Yu's face suddenly became very serious, and he analyzed while observing the top of the mountain!
"In addition to more than 40 wounded soldiers and a guard unit of a combat unit, the Japanese also left a heavy machine gun and a mortar, which were set up on the top of the mountain to shoot down all the troops attacking the mountain!"
"If we want to capture the top of the mountain at the minimum cost, we must first knock out the heavy machine guns and mortars on the top of the mountain!"
"The rear troops are only equipped with a crooked handle and a grenade. They will definitely not be able to defeat them head-on. They must outwit them!"
"First arrange for three veterans to continue sneak attacks on the Japs along the way, so that they feel that they are chasing the right target. The further away from here the better."
"The others are slowly approaching the top of the mountain, preparing to attack the Japanese wounded soldiers!"
Second Lieutenant Taro Kishitani was the person in charge of staying behind to protect the wounded. He was very cautious. Shoichi Yoshida also told him to be more vigilant before leaving and not to leave the mountain easily.
As soon as the main force left, he got busy, running back and forth on the mountain top with a low-power telescope, and carefully watching the surrounding plants and trees to ensure that there was no Eighth Route Army lurking at the foot of the mountain.
As a result, he wandered around for two hours without finding any trace of the Eighth Route Army. Exhausted both physically and mentally, he slowly relaxed his vigilance and leaned against a big rock to rest.
An explosion of "Boom..." suddenly sounded on the top of the mountain. In the dazzling fire, the two Japanese gunners were blown away instantly and fell to the ground without any movement.
Taro Kishitani was startled, opened his eyes and looked towards the top of the mountain.
His eyes immediately widened and he cried out: "What's going on? Why did the artillery position on the top of the mountain explode?"
"It's a grenade..." shouted a wounded man next to him.
"I saw the light of a grenade fired from a grenade 300 meters away. The Eighth Route Army must be hiding there!"
"Retaliate immediately with light and heavy machine guns. Kill the Eighth Route Army there and open fire!" Taro Kishitani was shocked at first. He didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would dare to come and attack him. Then he became more motivated and gave orders to his men with confidence.
Three hundred meters is a long distance, but it is within the effective range of the light and heavy machine guns.
If you counterattack from a high position, as long as you successfully lock the target, it will be easy to kill them.
"Tud, tut, tut, dat, dat..."
The light and heavy machine guns quickly sprayed out four tongues of flame. The heavy machine gun on the top of the mountain had the longest tongue of flame, which was two feet long. It looked particularly dazzling under the cover of night.
The four light and heavy machine guns fired nearly a hundred bullets in an instant.
Especially the heavy machine gun, which never stopped firing and shot out two bullets.
If it were daytime now, Taro Kishitani would definitely be able to see the target being swept away by a hail of bullets, creating a messy scene.
But the Eighth Route Army grenade group he wanted to kill was intact.
After firing the grenade, he quickly evacuated the position under the cover of a stone, and also locked the position of the Japanese heavy machine gun position on the way back!
