Kazuki Yamamoto's initial reaction was the same as that of Ichiro Koike. Of course, the one that can hit so many steel balls is the steel ball mine.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Because the steel ball mine is single-sided and not very light...a steel ball mine weighs more than three kilograms, half of which is gunpowder.
This weight and charge are not suitable for throwing, because the throwing distance is too short to ensure your own safety. If the throwing direction is wrong, the steel ball may hit you.
So, what did the enemy throw out?
Yamamoto Kazuki poked his head out in confusion, and found that several enemies quickly emerged from the cave, threw things on both sides, and then hid back.
This time Yamamoto Kazuki saw it clearly. It was a columnar object. After it landed, it bounced up with a "boom" sound, and then exploded with a "boom" sound. Countless steel balls exploded in all directions, some of which were close to Yamamoto.
Ichiki's scalp flew over.
Yamamoto Kazuki hurriedly shrank his head and hid back, but the agents above couldn't escape and fell down screaming.
Then Kazuki Yamamoto realized the seriousness of the problem:
If the enemy can be killed, it means that all the agents who rushed into the cave are dead!
At this time, almost all of Yamamoto Kazuki's men were attacking in the cave, and there were only seven people outside, including Yamamoto Kazuki.
If the enemy all rushes out and then counterattacks into other caves, all members of the special team will be sealed in the cave without any escape route.
"Hold them!" Yamamoto Kazuki shouted: "Don't let them come out!"
But it was too late. The seven people outside the cave had been blasted by several waves of enemy steel balls, leaving only three of them still capable of fighting.
If these three people were close to the cave, they might have used submachine guns to seal the entrance, but two of them were a hundred meters away.
The MP38 submachine gun uses pistol bullets. Although it has the advantage of sufficient firepower, its shortcomings of insufficient range are equally obvious... Its sight range is two hundred meters. In actual combat, it is difficult to hit a target a hundred meters away. Of course, it cannot
Effectively enforce the lockdown.
Yamamoto Kazuki, the only one within the shooting range, was in a disadvantageous position because he rolled down the slope and was suppressed by the Eighth Route Army's firepower and unable to move.
In fact, Yamamoto Kazuki was not only suppressed, Wang Xuexin noticed the Japs immediately...Wang Xuexin did not see his military rank clearly, but the Japs who could shout the order to seal the cave entrance was undoubtedly the commander.
So Wang Xuexin didn't think much and casually threw two thunderbolts towards the location where the shout came from.
Yamamoto Kazuki could only continue to turn down, but even so, he was still hit by several steel balls in the arm.
At that moment, Yamamoto Kazuki knew that the mission was going to fail, so he shouted: "Retreat!"
As he spoke, he ignored his subordinates who were still attacking in the cave, covered his wounds and turned around to run away.
Yamamoto Kazuki is also somewhat different from the imperial officers in this respect. He was educated in the West and would not sacrifice himself for a certain kind of honor and spirit when it is not necessary.
So I made a decisive decision to run away.
Wang Xuexin wanted to pursue this Japanese commander. He felt that this Japanese commander was probably a key figure in the special agent team.
But Wang Xuexin could not pursue him because there were still many remnants of enemies in the cave that had not been eliminated, and the arsenal could not afford to lose them.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin could only wave his hand and order a few people to guard outside the cave, while the others counterattacked into the cave with jumping thunder.
When the battle started, Zhang Wanhe was discussing with Hardware in the cave of the first branch factory about getting more engine modification turning machines.
"Let's not be dazzled by all the ideas from Xiaodongbei!" Zhang Wanhe said cheerfully: "What our army lacks most now is grenades, what about 50 small artillery, ghost cannons, or...
Landmines can't be carried by ordinary soldiers into the battlefield, right? But grenades can!"
What Zhang Wanhe said is correct.
On average, the Eighth Route Army only had about ten rounds of ammunition per person, and sometimes only three rounds.
This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army is called the "Eighth Route Army with three guns"... After firing three shots, there will be no bullets left and it is necessary to go forward and fight with the bayonet.
But in actual combat, it is impossible to distribute bullets equally to everyone.
Because of the lack of ammunition, some people simply do not equip themselves with rifles... A rifle without bullets is almost like a fire stick, not as good as a machete. The bullets saved are concentrated on warriors with good marksmanship.
But soldiers who are not equipped with rifles cannot just charge at the enemy with a machete. Instead, they carry a few more grenades and fight the enemy with a combination of grenades and machetes.
This pattern is especially common among guerrillas. Many guerrillas do not have guns. When fighting guerrillas in the village, they hide in the corner. The Japanese or puppet soldiers come up and throw the grenade. After the explosion, they rush forward with their machetes to kill the enemy and seize the equipment.
.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army has the largest amount of equipment, and what is most lacking is grenades.
In fact, it should be said that the most lacking thing is bullets.
It's just that the Eighth Route Army was unable to produce cartridge cases, so bullet production was stuck in a bottleneck for a long time, and it could only make up for it with grenades.
Zhang Wanhe said while drawing the drawing: "If we can use the wooden handle of the robot grenade, and then transfer the manpower that produces the wooden handle to produce the missile body, wouldn't it increase the output?"
"That's right!" Hardware nodded repeatedly: "And it's not difficult to modify this kind of turning machine. Our factory is safe again..."
At this moment, gunshots rang out, like hitting hardware in the face.
Zhang Wanhe was startled and ran out of the cave immediately. He happened to meet Gao Deshan who was running down the mountain with his soldiers and asked: "Platoon Leader Gao, what's going on?"
"It's not clear yet!" Gao Deshan replied: "There was a fire at Xiaodongbei. It was probably the Japanese who attacked from behind, but Xiaodongbei discovered it!"
Zhang Wanhe said "hehe" and said: "It's not good for the Japanese to carry out a sneak attack at any time, but they want to do a sneak attack when Xiao Dongbei is around. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
After that, he went into the hardware factory and discussed the turning machine.
Zhang Wanhe didn't take the Japanese sneak attack seriously at all. In his opinion, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with Xiao Dongbei here.
It wasn't until gunfire rang out from the top of the mountain that Zhang Wanhe realized something was wrong.
Because Gao Deshan knew that Zhang Wanhe was in the first branch factory, he personally led the main body of the security platoon to guard the first branch factory.
The situation in this cave is similar to that of Wang Xuexin's, who was also beaten back by Japanese agents.
It's just that Gaodeshan has the advantage in troops, so it can hold out longer.
Just when Gaodeshan was about to hold on no longer, he suddenly heard a burst of explosions and gunshots from the Japanese.
Soon I heard Wang Xuexin shout: "Is it Platoon Leader Gao? The Japs have been eliminated by us, they are safe! Have you found the factory director?"
Zhang Wanhe replied: "I'm here, I'm fine!"
After saying that, he raised his head towards Hardware: "Look, what I said is right, right? What are you worried about? How can the Japanese be Xiao Dongbei's opponent?"
How did Zhang Wanhe know that if Wang Xuexin hadn't had the idea to use the jumping mine as a grenade, this battle would have ended differently.
