"Squadron leader, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us is coming here to kill us..." A second lieutenant caught up with Captain Okada and reported.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The three shells seemed to have eyes, hitting the middle of the retreating troops accurately, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers fell to the ground...
"Speed up the retreat and get out of here quickly..." Okada was frightened and his heart tightened, and he ordered without hesitation.
He ran faster and faster, rushing forward with all his strength, for fear that the next round of shells would hit him.
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosion sounded again, and several more Japanese soldiers fell on the retreat road.
The other little devils ran faster, and they all rushed forward with all their strength.
"Da da da……"
The sound of crooked gunfire suddenly sounded behind the Japanese army, which frightened the Japanese soldiers at the back of the team. They were afraid that the Eighth Route Army would catch up and kill them, so they hurriedly accelerated their escape, not wanting to fall behind the team...
Not long after, dozens of Japanese soldiers carrying heavy machine guns were dropped to the back of the team.
"The Japanese heavy machine gun squadron can't run anymore. Speed up the pursuit, kill them, kill..." Kong Jie became more and more excited as he chased. Seeing the little Japanese with the heavy machine gun on his shoulders running slower and slower, he was keenly aware of the opportunity for the independent group to make a fortune.
When it arrived, he waved the box cannon and shouted with excitement.
"Follow all the guards, don't fall behind!" Huang Yu reminded the men behind him as he chased.
"Do you still remember the long-distance march method I taught you? Pay attention to your breathing, don't gasp for air, throw away everything else on your body except weapons and ammunition, and try to catch up with the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron within ten minutes..."
As he was talking, Huang Yu suddenly raised the 38 cap, pointed at the back of the Japanese in front and pulled the trigger.
A machine gunner fell to the ground. The heavy machine gun carried by four people lost its balance and hit the ground at the same time. Another machine gunner was hit by it...
There were no other machine gunners nearby to replace him. With just two machine gunners and one wounded man, it was definitely not possible to carry the heavy machine gun and continue on the road.
The two uninjured machine gunners looked at each other, as if they could read each other's thoughts, nodded their heads at the same time, each held the wounded man's arm, held him up and ran forward without even looking at the heavy weapon that hit the ground.
machine gun.
"Who fired that shot just now? Well done!" When Kong Jie saw the Japanese dropping a heavy machine gun, his face immediately lit up with joy and he shouted with excitement.
"It was our squad leader who fired the shot!" Zhong Chengjun shouted.
"Keep shooting, focus on the Japs carrying the machine guns. If you can keep all the remaining five heavy machine guns, I will remember you for your service!"
"Others should also shoot. If they can't hit the Japanese, it's better to scare them..."
"Snapped……"
Huang Yu pulled the trigger again, and another machine gunner fell to the ground with a heavy machine gun on his shoulder.
The other machine gunners wanted to carry their heavy machine guns and continue to retreat. Just as they were about to bend down, a hail of machine gun bullets flew towards them.
Although they didn't hit any Japanese, they were frightened into a cold sweat.
Ignoring the heavy machine gun on the ground, he turned around and started running for his life.
Among the Japanese army, ordinary infantrymen were the most poisoned by Bushido. The higher the level of education, the smaller the influence of Bushido on them.
Heavy machine gunners and artillery are technical arms. Their education level is generally higher than that of infantry. They are much less poisoned by bushido and are not as fearless and fearless as ordinary infantry.
As long as they can survive, they will fight for it even if the chance is very slim.
Faced with the multiple-choice question of saving his own life or saving his heavy machine gun, the machine gunner chose to save his life without hesitation.
"This is the second heavy machine gun. Just shoot like this. If the light machine gun has a chance, shoot it to scare the little devils. The sharpshooter will continue to shoot, trying to keep the remaining four heavy machine guns for me, and then shoot the shoulder ammunition box.
Japs!" Seeing that he had received another heavy machine gun, Kong Jie was so excited that he almost jumped up from the ground and continued to order with full of expectation.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and more and more soldiers from the first battalion fired. After only five minutes of pursuit, all four heavy machine guns carried by the Japanese on their shoulders were left behind on the road.
Nine kilometers away on the mountain road, a new group with only more than 500 people left was desperately retreating into the mountains.
In addition to weapons and ammunition, almost all the luggage that could be thrown away was lost.
But the Japanese pursuers were like brown candies, clinging to them three to four hundred meters away.
Li Yunlong knew: This was done deliberately by the Japanese, who controlled the marching speed to maintain the strength of the troops. Wait until the new regiment loses its energy, then catch up with them in one go, and gather together to annihilate them!
Such an opponent is the most difficult to deal with. If the situation is not broken quickly, the remaining 500 or so people in the new regiment will definitely not be able to escape the fate of the entire army being destroyed.
"Captain, I will lead a company to stay in the rear. As long as we hold off the Japanese for half an hour, the main force will be able to completely get rid of the pursuers!" The injured Zhang Dabiao took the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight.
"Bullshit, as long as there is one person standing in our new regiment, there won't be a single wounded person left. If you want to be the rear, I will be the rear. It's not your turn yet!" Li Yunlong cursed angrily.
The two uninjured company commanders stood up immediately: "Captain, let me stay!"
"Find a favorable terrain ahead to block the Japanese army for half an hour. After that, break out and retreat as many as you can. It's better than annihilating the entire army!"
Just as Li Yunlong was about to refuse again, the guard company commander's exclamation suddenly sounded from behind the team.
"Captain, the Japanese suddenly withdrew..."
"No one was left behind, and we marched in a hurry towards Cangyun Ridge to kill..."
"I just vaguely heard an explosion coming from the direction of Cangyun Ridge... Someone must have dug into the Bantian Alliance's lair and forced the Bantian Alliance that was chasing us back!"
"You idiot Kong Er, it must have been done by the Independent Group!" Li Yunlong reacted after hearing this.
"There is only Kong Erluzi's independent group behind us. He knew that I had killed Sakata and broke through from the front, so he took the opportunity to touch the tiger's butt!"
"I remember that there were nearly 2,000 Japs chasing us. There were more than 3,000 people in the Bantian Regiment. After deducting those killed by us on the battlefield, there were at most 1,000 people in the Cangyunling position. They were basically artillery and baggage personnel.
Soldiers..."
"If Kong Er is brave enough and takes over all the artillery positions, field hospitals, and baggage trains of the Bantian Regiment, the Sakata Regiment will become a tiger without fangs, and it will definitely not dare to be as arrogant as before...
"
"Well done..."
"When the battle is over, I will give Kong Er a glass of wine. Our new regiment owes him a favor!"
"Otherwise we will have to pay a huge price to get rid of the pursuers!"
