"Sir, we can't continue to be bombed passively like this. If the Eighth Route Army has enough grenades, our remaining troops will definitely be called out by them one by one and blown up with grenades!" A commander Cao rushed over to report anxiously.
A grenadier soldier followed up with a report: "The Eighth Route Army grenade launchers are very cunning. They move their positions after firing a grenade. They are very fast. We have no chance of locking the target. We want to kill them through a grenade counterattack. The possibility of success is
Almost zero!"
The only remaining machine gunner of the heavy machine gun team reported: "The grenade positions chosen by the Eighth Route Army have rocks and mounds as bunkers. They can easily block the bullets we fire and retreat calmly. It is difficult to kill them with light and heavy machine guns!"
"Boom..." The machine gunner had just finished reporting when the familiar sound of grenade explosions sounded not far away.
Under the light of the fire, he could vaguely see a rifleman being blown to the ground.
Chief Cao, who was the first to speak, became even more anxious: "Sir, you have seen that the Eighth Route Army has bombed even our riflemen. We cannot wait any longer."
Seeing several subordinates staring at him with burning eyes, Taro Kishitani asked angrily: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Send the main attack and kill the Eighth Route Army that has been attacking us with grenades just now!" Cao Chang blurted out his thoughts.
"Attack? Do you think your life is very long?" Taro Kishitani sneered with a mocking expression.
Captain Cao was very unconvinced and subconsciously wanted to refute, but Taro Kishitani did not give him this chance. He stared at him and continued to scold: "Have you forgotten how the squadron leader died in battle?"
"The infantry squad he commands is no match for the Eighth Route Army. Can a dozen of us defeat them?"
"Don't lose your life without even seeing the shadow of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Remember, you are not ordinary soldiers. Any decision you make may cause others to be killed on the battlefield. You must think carefully about everything you say and do!"
After hearing this, Chief Cao showed a scared expression.
The compelling look he looked at Kishitani Taro was immediately replaced by regret, and he said with a happy face: "Sir, please calm down, I really didn't think carefully about it just now!"
"It's just that our current situation is indeed very critical. If we don't break the situation quickly, the remaining troops will definitely be blown up by the Eighth Route Army's grenades."
"Let everyone stand still and remain unchanged in response to changes!" Taro Kishitani replied seriously.
This is the conclusion he came to after careful consideration.
"The Eighth Route Army wants to use grenades to kill our troops, but it must first have a target to attack!"
"As long as we stand still and lurk on the top of the mountain without exposing our targets, no matter how many grenades the Eighth Route Army equips, they can only bomb us indiscriminately, with very limited lethality."
"What if the Eighth Route Army takes the opportunity to approach the mountain?" Cao Chang continued to ask.
"Then trade your life with them!"
Taro Kishitani really didn't want to do this, but he had to do it. He could only order with clenched fists and gritted teeth, trying to vent his anger on the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain.
"There are only over a hundred people left in the independent regiment. The main force pursued by the captain must account for the majority, and the Eighth Route Army around us will account for the smaller portion."
"I conclude that there will be no more than forty Eighth Route Army soldiers at the foot of the mountain."
"In exchange for lives, our troops and wounded soldiers stationed on the hilltop can also annihilate them!"
Captain Cao analyzed thoughtfully: "We killed an Eighth Route Army soldier. After the gunman was exposed, the Eighth Route Army used a grenade to kill him. With the fighting power of the warriors, our casualties will definitely be smaller than those of the Eighth Route Army. It is indeed much better than being passively bombed."
"My humble position supports such a fight. I don't believe that so many of us can't defeat dozens of Eighth Route Army troops!"
Taro Kishitani immediately ordered: "Notice, from now on, unless there is an attack by the Eighth Route Army, no one can move and stay in hiding in their respective hiding spots. All the torches on the mountain will be extinguished, making the grenade hand of the Eighth Route Army blind. Find
Missing the target!"
Huang Yu didn't expect the Japs to be so patient. He almost killed their heavy machine gun unit and mortar unit, and he could still hold back from attacking.
"Captain, the little Japs are so evil. Not only did they not attack, they also took the initiative to extinguish the torches, making the grenade team lose their target." Zhong Chengjun said with a look of reluctance.
"I saw it!" Huang Yu's face was also very serious: "The Japanese on the mountain are more difficult to deal with than I thought. We have encountered a strong enemy this time!"
"As the enemy changes, we change. Since the Japanese choose to be a coward, our fighting style must also change!"
"Team Leader Zhang, how many grenades are left in the grenade team?"
"Report to the captain: The regiment leader has specially authorized us to carry two ammunition bags, with a total of sixteen special grenades for grenades. Six of them were used just now, and there are ten left!" Zhang Haotian knew the number of grenades in his hand clearly and had no clue.
Hesitant to answer.
"That's enough!" Huang Yu replied firmly.
"I decided to conquer the mountain by attacking from the east and attacking from the west."
"The Japanese army left behind a combat unit, a heavy machine gun team, a mortar team, and less than thirty Japs to protect the wounded."
"The grenade team has fired six grenades, killing and wounding almost fifteen little Japs. There should be no more than fifteen Japs still able to move freely on the hilltop."
"The grenade team, the machine gun team, and half of the riflemen launched a feint attack from the east of the hill. Make more noise and force out all the Japanese lurking on the hill. The grenade team took the opportunity to launch an attack. How many can be killed?"
, try to attract the Japanese from other directions."
"I will lead the remaining riflemen to attack the Japanese from the west."
"Give us all the grenades and hand grenades equipped by the rear troops. Go to the top of the mountain and greet the Japanese with grenades and hand grenades when you see them. Try not to use guns!"
"You can not only create chaos, kill a large number of little devils, but also reduce your own risk of exposure!"
Taro Kishitani was very happy.
Since his subordinates hid on the top of the mountain and stood still, the troops stationed on the top of the mountain never received a single grenade, which showed that their method was effective.
But this good mood only lasted for more than half an hour before it was broken by the sound of a gunshot.
Behind the bushes more than 20 meters ahead, a wounded soldier immediately pulled the bolt of the gun after firing and continued to fire a second shot at the suspicious target...
"Da da da……"
But at this moment, a machine gun flame burst out from the mountainside about thirty meters away from the suspicious target, and seven or eight bullets roared towards the wounded soldier...
"Ah..." A scream sounded at the same time, and Taro Kishitani faintly saw the wounded soldier lying on the ground, flicking his legs and then losing movement.
"Pa bang bang..."
Wounded soldiers hiding in other locations joined the battle one after another. Some fired at the machine guns halfway up the mountain, while others fired at their newly discovered new targets. The small top of the mountain was immediately turned into a pot of porridge, and there were gunshots everywhere.
"boom……"
The explosion that Taro Kishitani least wanted to hear sounded again, and in the splashing fire, two wounded soldiers next to each other were blown over at the same time.
"The Eighth Route Army wants to storm the top of the mountain. Our grenades will counterattack immediately and kill all the Eighth Route Army exposed on the mountainside. We must not let them rush to the top of the mountain!" Taro Kishitani ordered hurriedly.
"Boom...boom..." Two grenades were shot out by his subordinates at the same time, but Taro Kishitani did not see the bombed figure of the Eighth Route Army in the light of the fire.
