Now that the Japanese had reacted, they had swooped over from several directions, and Yang Ling gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
"Boohoo!"
The adjutant also reacted quickly. After receiving Yang Ling's order, he immediately took out his flare gun and fired the agreed retreat flare into the sky.
"Stop the pursuit, use machine gun cover, and the rest will retreat immediately!"
Seeing the retreat signal flares flying into the sky, Deputy Battalion Commander Liang Xiaoshan, who was eager to kill the Japanese, braked suddenly, stopped the pursuit, and gave loud orders.
Panting as they ran, several brothers from the machine gun team quickly set up their machine guns on the spot and fired several chains of fire fiercely in the direction of the Japanese.
The other brothers with rifles in their hands fired two shots in the direction of the Japanese, then turned and ran towards the way they came.
When these retreating brothers ran back, they did not forget to pick up the ammunition boxes from the dead Japanese soldiers and hang them on themselves.
Some of the brothers who were quick and agile even had to carry the Japanese heavy machine gun that was blown over next to the bunker.
"What time has it been and you are still thinking about this? Hurry up and get out!"
Seeing these brothers carrying the Japs' heavy machine guns, a passing deputy platoon leader angrily urged them to run away.
"Platoon deputy, what a good thing. It's a heavy machine gun. It's a pity to lose it." The brothers were afraid of poverty and didn't want to let go of the Japanese's good equipment after seeing it.
"Can you run while carrying this thing? The Japs are already surrounding you!" The deputy platoon leader's attitude was very firm: "Don't do it, it's more important to escape."
Now they are dancing on the tip of the knife. There are thousands of elites armed to the teeth nearby. If they don't run slowly, they will be doomed.
"But we can't give the Japs an advantage." Seeing that the deputy platoon leader refused to let them carry away the Japs' heavy machine guns, these brothers became anxious.
"Whatever can't be taken away will explode!"
The deputy platoon leader was also a decisive person. He took off three grenades from his waist and tied them together before stuffing them under the heavy machine gun.
"Boom!"
As an explosion of red light rose up, the Japanese heavy machine gun that could not be taken away was directly blown into pieces, which made the brothers around him feel distressed.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I don't know when it will be seized next time."
"Stop nagging and leave quickly."
Soon, the brothers were trotting back towards the way they came.
The brothers were also lucky. When passing by a tent, they found boxes of ammunition piled up by the Japanese.
"There is ammunition here, brothers, don't waste it, move it quickly!"
Although it is difficult to run fast with a Japanese heavy machine gun, the ammunition in the box is not very heavy and can be carried by one person.
The brothers stepped forward one after another, each holding a box before running away. Soon the tent was full of ammunition and the brothers had moved all of it away.
It was like a sweep. As they were running back, the brothers quickly swept through the Japanese camp. Food, drink, ammunition, and everything that could get away were not missed.
Soon the brothers were covered with things, and they made a lot of noise as they ran.
"Huh! Huh!"
Many injured Japanese soldiers were hiding in the pile of corpses, wailing and groaning, and the brothers did not let them go. White knives went in and red knives came out, and the finishing blows were quickly completed.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
The machine gun team responsible for covering the rear was also shooting wildly at the little Japs. Facing a group of Japs rushing towards them, they beat them until their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
However, the Japanese grenades and machine guns quickly came over, and explosions continued to explode around the brothers. Seeing that the infantry brothers had disappeared, they also hurriedly ran away with their machine guns.
The Japs were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. They were actually attacked in the middle of the night. The Japs surrounded us from several directions. They wanted to annihilate all the attacking guerrilla troops with murderous intent.
"puff!"
"Ouch!"
The brothers in the machine gun team at the rear were fighting and retreating, but the Japanese bullets were flying over like locusts. One brother let out an ouch, fell to the ground, and flew out carrying the hot machine gun.
"He was shot somewhere!"
Hearing that a brother behind him had been shot and fell to the ground, the brothers in the same machine gun team immediately turned around. Someone was holding a gun and shooting at the Japanese for cover. Another brother immediately squatted down and asked eagerly.
"Leg, leg..." The brother who was shot in the thigh gasped in pain and pointed at the bleeding thigh.
The squatting brother quickly groped for his wet thigh and tore open his pants. He saw that his thigh was stained red with blood.
"Be patient, I'll bandage it for you."
The brother directly tore off a piece of cloth from the brother's pants and bandaged the brother to stop the bleeding.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
While they were trying to stop the brother's bleeding, the Japanese had already pounced on him, and the bullets scattered the surrounding soil.
"You guys, hurry up and leave me alone. I can't leave." Seeing the approaching Japanese, the brother grinned in pain and hurriedly pushed his companion away.
"What are you talking about? How can I throw you to the devils for a brother who scoops out rice from the pot?" The brother in charge of bandaging quickly tied the knot and then urged: "Quick, I will carry you away."
"Hurry, there is no time." Under the urging of the brother, the injured brother climbed onto the brother's back.
"Machine gun, machine gun!"
But after walking a few steps, the injured brother remembered the machine gun that had fallen into the grass and shouted hurriedly.
"Escape is more important than machine guns."
This brother carried the injured brother on his back and walked like flying. He and the other two covering brothers in the machine gun team ran wildly into the darkness amidst the rumbling explosions all around.
Captain Yamazaki quickly rushed over with a large number of Japanese soldiers, but in a short period of time, the entire camp of the 3rd Infantry Squadron had turned into a mess.
There were corpses and burning tents everywhere, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the entire 3rd Squadron was almost wiped out in the night attack.
"Asshole, bastard!"
"Pursuit, I will cut the Chinese into pieces!"
The Japanese Captain Yamazaki was roaring angrily, and the Japanese soldiers, who were so blackened by smoke, were also full of murderous intent, like wolves showing their fangs, chasing Yang Ling and the others in the direction they were retreating.
"Brothers, prepare to fight!"
The brothers of the machine gun company who stayed five miles away and were responsible for the response moved the heavy machine gun platoon and the wounded together, and now their mortars and light machine guns have temporarily deployed a line of defense.
They had been on tenterhooks when the gunshots rang out from the Japs camp, fearing that Yang Ling and the others would fail. Now that they heard the gunshots coming towards them, they were all loaded with bullets, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Only about ten minutes had passed before the brothers in charge of the attack, led by Yang Ling, ran back panting, and behind them were countless Japanese soldiers chasing after them with flashlights.
The Japanese soldiers were indeed irritated, as if they would not give up until they caught up with Yang Ling and the others. Although they were breathing heavily from exhaustion, they refused to give up.
"beat!"
The brothers in the machine gun company who were in charge of responding were already on alert. When they saw the brothers running past out of breath one by one, they opened fire directly on the Japanese who were chasing after them.
"Da da da - da da da -"
"Boom!"
All kinds of weapons roared out one after another, and the Japanese soldiers who were immersed in pursuit did not expect an ambush. Under the intensive firepower, they were immediately beaten to death and wounded in large numbers.
