The one who had an encounter with Lei Xianghe's ninth battalion was the 108th Cavalry Regiment, which was left behind to serve as an ambush under the orders of Torajiro Iwai. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Koshiro Goto, they attacked Lei Xianghe's ninth
The battalion launched a surprise attack. Infantry would suffer a lot when encountering cavalry on flat ground, and the Ninth Battalion was no exception.
Under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Fujikoshiro, more than 1,500 Japanese cavalry launched attacks in turn, causing Lei Xianghe a lot of trouble. However, unlike ordinary Kokujin, the Liantai militia has always been known for its fierce firepower.
say.
After an hour of fierce attack, he saw that the opponent's firepower was too fierce. Not only did it not collapse as expected, but it also caused a lot of damage to his own cavalry troops. Lieutenant Colonel Fujikoshiro had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw and prepare to rush there.
Join the main force at the rear.
"Reporting to Your Majesty Lieutenant Colonel, we found a group of Chinese soldiers escaping into the woods in front. Major Rukichi Kasutani asked you whether to attack." A communications soldier ran over to ask for instructions.
"Yoshi, order Rukichi Kasutani to eliminate them immediately, and then rush over to meet me. Remember, it would be best if you can capture the opponent's China commander alive, I will personally chop off his head!" He was dead in breath!
Colonel Fujikoshiro who came out immediately ordered.
Under the order of Fujikoshiro, Major Rikichi Kasutani led more than 500 cavalrymen of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion in hot pursuit. When he came to a small forest, he saw his Lieutenant Takahiro Ohura leading his squadron in the woods.
Wandering outside the woods.
Seeing this, Rukichi Kasutani became very angry and asked: "Lieutenant Oura, why don't you lead people to chase after and eliminate those Chinese people?"
"Major!" Lieutenant Takahiro Oura glanced at the woods in front. Because the branches and grass in the woods were too lush, he couldn't see it at all. He said in embarrassment: "The cavalry is unable to deploy in the woods. Could you please ask the infantry to assist?"
one time?"
"Dismount, aren't you just cavalry when you dismount?" Rukichi Kasutani yelled angrily, "Quickly, go quickly, His Excellency Lieutenant Commander Fujiko is waiting for us at the rear with good news!"
What else could Takahiro Ohura say? He turned around and ordered to the troops: "Tie up the horses and go into the woods to search for the enemy!"
Oura Takahiro's men jumped off their horses obediently, tied their horses to the roadside, and went into the woods with guns and knives in hand to search.
The small unit that was driven into the woods by the Japanese army was the ninth squadron of the third company of the ninth battalion, but the leader was not the squad leader of the ninth squadron, but Lu Xianping.
Speaking of which, in today's encounter, the third platoon led by Lu Xianping was at the rear of the entire battalion. Their platoon's task was to serve as the rear guard for the entire company and even the entire battalion.
However, the vision on the battlefield was chaotic, and everything went into chaos as he fought. There was only one squad left by his side, and he lost contact with the larger army. In the end, Lu Xianping could only lead the ninth squad to retreat into the woods while fighting.
Now Lu Xianping commanded his twelve brothers to take advantage of the favorable terrain to launch a desperate posture, preparing to fight to the death with the Japs.
Lu Xianping called all twelve brothers in the class to him and put a box of grenades at his feet. He looked at the twelve brothers in front of him and took out an M24 long-handled grenade from the box.
This kind of grenade was called a "high-explosive grenade" by Allied soldiers in World War II because of its reasonable design and great power.
I saw Lu Xianping strapping the grenade to his chest with a "swish", pointing to the grenade on his chest and saying: "Brothers, when you are injured and can't move, just pull this, and have a kid on your back. If anyone is captured alive by the Japanese,
, if you don’t pull this thing, the little devil will drag him to feed the wolves and dogs! Tie one to each person, hurry up!”
Thirteen grenades are brightly black and tied to the chests of thirteen warriors, and they will go into battle with their masters!
Now that the troops were trapped in the woods, Lu Xianping knew it was time to use glory bombs.
Jing Boran, squad leader of the ninth class, saw his platoon leader's stern expression and hurriedly whispered: "Platoon leader, are you trying to get someone alive?"
"How to make a living mouth?"
"Catch a living person and ask about the troop deployment on the other side before attacking!"
"Okay!" Lu Xianping accepted Jing Boran's suggestion and hurriedly said to a burly soldier behind him: "Big man."
"Platoon leader, what's going on?"
"You and squad leader Jing go and catch him alive."
"Caught alive?"
"Yes," Lu Xianping quickly replied in a low voice, "Don't be so cool and catch a living little devil."
The Japanese troops, who were searching the woods like a fishing net, entered the woods. Lieutenant Takahiro Oura was at the front of the team.
Behind him was a machine gunner. The machine gunner followed closely behind him with a crooked handle, and from time to time he swept the shuttle left and right to encourage him.
At this time, the big man was holding an MG42 and was lying behind a grave. Because there were two stone tablets standing on both sides, the Japanese machine gun bullets hit them like firecrackers, making a "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sound.
As it stood, sparks popped out.
"Big man..." Jing Boran whispered: "Come here, come here."
Following Jing Boran's gesture, the big man saw the Japanese commander, Lieutenant Takahiro Oura, at a glance. He whispered excitedly to Jing Boran, "Squad leader, you're still a lieutenant."
"I'll deal with the officer, you kill the machine gunner." Jing Boran thought for a while and said.
"Okay!" the big man said and climbed out from the gap between the two stone tablets.
At this time, Oura Takahiro had already walked past the tomb bag with a huff, and Jing Boran immediately followed quietly.
The Japanese machine gunner's heel might have been caught on a branch. The moment he bent down to untie it, the big man pounced forward, raised the M24 grenade in his hand and hit the kid on the head.
The machine gunner suddenly fell to the ground without saying a word, his brains all overflowing.
Although the big man was big, he was also smart. In order to observe the enemy's movements, he put the Japanese hat on his head and took a look. Good guy, there were Japanese troops all around who were searching in the jungle.
In desperation, he hurriedly knelt down, took off the prisoner's shirt and draped it over his body, grabbed a handful of the prisoner's blood and wiped it on his face, then held the prisoner's crooked arms and straightened his waist.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But what he didn't expect was that he was attacked by the Japanese army as soon as he appeared.
"Da da da da..."
The big man's idea was good, but in his desperation, he forgot one thing. In the Japanese army, whose average height was only a little over 1.5 meters, if his squadron had a man of 1.80 or even 1.9 meters,
There was no way that the macho man himself didn't know this, so the Japanese soldier simply shot the big man who suddenly appeared, and for a moment there was a loud sound of gunfire all around.
Jing Boran also killed Lieutenant Takahiro Oura at this time, and Zheng tried to turn around to reinforce the big man, but after the big man was swept away by the Japanese machine gun, he resolutely fired the grenade on his chest at the moment when the two Japanese soldiers rushed forward.
Just as Jing Boran was about to pounce, Lu Xianping rushed over from behind, grabbed him, and pushed him behind the nearby grave.
The two of them had just rolled into the nearby grave pit. A grenade thrown by the Japanese army exploded at the place on the left front where Jing Boran had been standing. Five Japanese soldiers rushed over with the help of thick smoke.
Lu Xianping picked up his MP40 submachine gun and fired a burst of bullets at it. The two Japanese soldiers fell to the ground immediately. The other three Japanese soldiers raised their crooked handles and 38 rifles and hit them in a hail of bullets.
Jing Boran fell into a pool of blood.
However, although he was shot and fell to the ground, he was still conscious. Looking at the intestines that were twisting like a green snake emerging from the wound in his lower abdomen, Jing Boran pressed the wound and endured the severe pain and shouted loudly: "Platoon Commander
, Go quickly, go quickly!" After saying that, he suddenly pounced forward and at the same time fired the grenade on his chest.
The three Japanese soldiers were wiped out, and Jing Boran also died heroically on the spot.
Lu Xianping shouted angrily and ran to the side.
He tried to move his body as he ran, and found that there was a burning sensation behind him. It was obvious that he was too close to the explosion point of the grenade, and his back was hit by shrapnel.
At this time, the gunshots around him slowly stopped, and it was obvious that all the brothers in the class had died. Lu Xianping discovered from the gunpowder smoke not far away that the Japanese troops were cleaning the battlefield in twos and threes...
Major Rukichi Kasutani stood next to a row of Japanese corpses and ordered several soldiers to cut off one ear of each soldier who died in the battle. This ear was sent back to the country to be preserved by their relatives.
Suddenly, Rukichi Kasutani saw a soldier in the wounded soldier team with blood on his face and his clothes almost soaked in blood walking towards him with difficulty. The moment he hurriedly greeted him, the wounded soldier rushed forward with a cry.
Hugging him tightly, he only heard the squeaking sound of the grenade's fuse.
Rukichi Kasutani knew something was wrong. He was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat and shouted: "Drag him away quickly!"
The two soldiers nearby rushed over and dragged the wounded soldier away.
"boom!"
The grenade on the wounded soldier exploded, killing the two soldiers who were pulling away from him and Rukichi Kasotani's horse. Fortunately, Ryuyoshi Kasotani escaped with only a small wound on his thigh caused by a grenade shrapnel.
This wounded soldier was a seriously injured soldier from the ninth squadron. When he discovered that the Japanese soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, knowing that he would not be spared, he hurriedly took off the Japanese soldiers' clothes and put them on, and smeared the bloodstains on the dead Japanese soldiers' bodies on his body and face.
He sneaked into the Japanese army and tried to kill a high-ranking Japanese official before he died.
But this kind of opportunity was very difficult to find, and he didn't understand Japanese, so he had no choice but to pounce on Major Rukichi Satani, who seemed to have the highest military rank.
"Bagaya Deer, hurry up and search the woods again. Make sure not a single Chinese soldier escapes." Rukichi Kasutani, who was almost killed by the explosion, shouted angrily and drove his men to search the woods again.
Seeing the returning Japanese troops, Lu Xianping, who was hiding behind the tombstone, laughed miserably. He grabbed the MP40 submachine gun next to him, pulled the safety, and lay down behind the two stone monuments, facing each other and walking towards them.
The Japanese army, numbering less than a hundred, pulled the trigger.
"Da da da da..."
The dense sound of gunfire spread far in the woods, and the three Japanese soldiers walking in front fell backwards. The Japanese soldiers walking near them also reacted quickly, and fell to the ground almost instantly and began to fight back.
.
"Pa bang bang..."
In just a split second, machine gun bullets hit the stone tablets on both sides of Lu Xianping, making a "ding, ding, ding..." sound and sparks flying.
Although the firepower of the Japanese army was very fierce, it must be said that Lu Xianping seemed to have the luck of the phoenix, and the location of the cemetery he chose was very good.
Two thick stone tablets blocked him from the bullets fired from almost 180 degrees from the front. Although it looked dangerous, all the bullets were blocked by the stone tablets. Lu Xianping only exposed the muzzle of the gun and a half-shaded face.
, firing continuously towards the front.
The MP40 submachine gun has a short and compact appearance and small recoil, and its advantages of continuous shooting have been fully utilized in dense terrain such as woods.
The submachine gun's nearly 200-meter range and dense bullets made it impossible for the Japanese army to deal with him for a while.
"Baga, grenade, use the grenade quickly." At this time, Major Ryukichi Kasutani, who came to the rear to supervise the battle, quickly asked the Japanese soldiers behind to bring the grenade up.
"Your Majesty, Major, we are cavalry and we do not carry grenades." A subordinate reminded him gently in his ear.
It was only then that Rukichi Kasutani suddenly realized that he had never seen a cavalryman running around with a grenade. Although the grenade was not heavy, it was a burden to the cavalry who pursued speed.
"Asshole, order the troops to quickly outflank him and surround him." At this time, Fujikoshiro, the cavalry commander, completely entered the role of an infantry commander.
At this time, on the other side of the woods, a team of more than a hundred people was marching quietly. They were traveling very slowly in the woods. Even people who didn't know how to do it could tell that this was a team compared with ordinary troops.
More elite.
"Head, there are people exchanging fire in front of us. The sound is from one of our men. It's the sound of a Schmeisser submachine gun."
The sound of the MP40 submachine gun is very special, and it is easy to distinguish it when you hear it.
"Let's go and have a look. I want to see who is bullying the people from the Liantai Vigilante Group here!"
The commander waved his hand, and the team of more than a hundred people immediately and quietly surrounded them in the direction of the gunfire.
Although Lu Xianping, who was lying behind the grave, relied on two tombstones to resist the bullets coming from the front, how could one person compete with more than a hundred people? The fierce firepower of the Japanese army soon suppressed him and he could not even lift his head.
stand up.
He sighed secretly. Lying behind the grave bag, he reached into his arms and grabbed the fuse of the M24 grenade tied in his arms. He was going to die anyway, and he had to pull a few people on his back before he died.
.
At this time, his exposed arm was suddenly grazed by a bullet, and the severe pain made him groan.
Seeing that there was no hope of survival, he gritted his teeth and was about to fire the grenade in his arms, when he suddenly heard a "chunk" sound coming from behind.
The sound of this gun is completely different from the MP40 submachine gun. It is a bit like the sound of knocking an iron barrel, and it is very dense, and is accompanied by the explosion of 60 mortars.
The sudden and ferocious firepower caught the Japanese troops off guard, and more than a dozen Japanese troops who were pressing forward were all knocked to the ground.
