The first thousand two hundred and forty-two chapters are fried!
The puppet troops who were rushing to catch up encountered an unexpected attack. They were suddenly crowded on the mountain road and became chaotic. From time to time, some people were blown away or shot and fell convulsively.
The machine guns set up by the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps on the commanding heights kept spitting out tongues of fire, and the dark red fire chains caused dead branches and leaves to fly everywhere.
"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo, what should we do?"
An officer of the puppet army rolled and crawled behind a rock that was hit by bullets and shouted to Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, who was hiding behind.
Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, wanted to claim credit and rewards from his new master, but he committed the taboo of going deep alone. Now that he was suddenly ambushed, he was immediately panicked.
"Members of the group, let's evacuate quickly, otherwise it will be all over."
Liu Heitan, the deputy commander of the puppet army, had always been wary of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. Now that it had been ambushed, he had no intention of continuing the fight and hurriedly suggested.
"Get out of here and hold me still, there aren't many of them. If you want to scare me away, there's no way!"
After all, Xie Zhengxiang also served as the battalion commander of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. After experiencing the initial panic, he quickly calmed down.
He knew that most of Zhang Liechen and others he was chasing were old, weak, women and children, and they had very few troops capable of fighting, so he was unwilling to retreat.
"Tell my brothers, the imperial army is not far from us, and I am holding them all back. I will kill anyone who dares to withdraw!"
The so-called pursuit of riches and honors comes from danger. Although he encountered an ambush, Xie Zhengxiang was unwilling to retreat and loudly ordered the puppet troops to counterattack.
"Deputy Captain Liu!"
"have!"
Although Liu Heitan wanted to escape from this dangerous place, but now his name was called by Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, and he had to stand up.
"Take two companies and help me fight back into the mountains and forests on the left!"
"yes!"
"Third company commander, capture the mountain top for me and occupy the commanding heights!"
"Fourth Company, Fifth Company counterattack into the mountains on the right!"
Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, had also fought in a war before. He also acted against common sense and advanced instead of retreating, relying on the strength of his numbers to try to win the battle.
"Brothers, come on and destroy the guerrillas. Each of you will be rewarded with five yuan!"
Although the puppet soldiers were killed and injured a lot at first, more people quickly dispersed and hid in the rocks, shrubs and ravines beside the road.
Because it was dark, the ambushed officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps only caused a lot of damage to the puppet troops in the first round of fire. When the puppet troops lay down in concealment, the damage continued to decrease.
Now, under the instigation of the puppet army officers, the remaining puppet troops discovered that the firepower of the guerrillas ambushing them was not very dense, so they leaned out one after another to fight back and began to fight back.
The battalion commander Zheng Gang and deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps knew that their two combat companies had few troops, and the purpose of the combat was to repel or defeat the puppet troops.
However, they underestimated the combat effectiveness of these puppet troops and did not expect that instead of disintegrating or retreating, they would fight back, which made their expressions become particularly solemn.
Some of these puppet troops were officers and soldiers kidnapped from the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps by Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the puppet army, and some were puppet troops trained by the Japanese military advisers.
The Japanese also allocated a batch of ammunition to them to increase their firepower. Their strength was not weaker than that of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, which was the main reason why the guerrillas failed to defeat them in one fell swoop.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Under the shouts and encouragement of the puppet army officers, the puppet troops who had stabilized their position began to carry out counterattacks with guns in hand towards the ambush position of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.
Under the illumination of the explosion's fire, black figures holding guns quickly flew forward. Although the guerrilla officers and soldiers fired desperately, they were still unable to resist.
"Machine gun, push them down!"
Seeing how powerful these puppet troops were in combat, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming looked particularly solemn.
But the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one has time to think or hesitate, because every battle is a life-and-death battle, without any mercy.
The barrel of the light machine gun was already red from the fire, but in the face of the counterattack by the puppet troops, they still fired desperately.
The scorching bullets left clearly visible bullet marks in the night, knocking the puppet soldiers who came back to the ground one by one.
But these puppet troops seemed to be endless, and they kept coming.
Not only were the officers and soldiers ambushed in the dense forests on both wings locked in a bitter battle, but the heavy machine gun team occupying the commanding heights was also besieged by a large number of puppet troops.
The puppet army's grenades and machine guns were also roaring, and dead grass branches in many places were ignited, burning into raging fires. The smoke filled the air, and the battle became white-hot.
"Grenade, blow it up for me!"
Seeing the puppet soldiers knocking them down one by one, the guerrilla officers and soldiers hurriedly took out grenades and threw the grenades outward.
"Boom! Boom!"
Deafening explosions rang out one after another everywhere, and countless puppet soldiers were blown into the darkness, screaming and wailing.
When the guerrilla officers and soldiers threw grenades, almost at the same time, the puppet army's grenades were also thrown over, and many guerrilla officers and soldiers were blown to pieces.
"What a fool! Brothers, fix your bayonets!"
A platoon leader who had fired all the bullets in the gun barrel became anxious. He looked at the puppet soldier who was approaching, held a bayonet in his backhand and stabbed it, stabbing the puppet soldier to his core.
The officers and soldiers of the guerrillas also took out their bayonets one after another and started to fight in a melee with the puppet troops that rushed towards them.
Although the puppet troops suffered a large number of casualties, they were still outnumbered. They made a dark counter-attack towards the guerrilla ambush positions everywhere, and melees broke out in many places.
Many of the puppet troops under Xie Zhengxiang were officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu guerrillas half a month ago. They could be said to be brothers fighting side by side in the trenches, but now the two sides have to face each other with swords and guns.
"ah!"
A platoon leader from the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps was so brave that he kicked a puppet soldier who was rushing towards him down the hillside, and knocked another puppet soldier to the ground with his backhand butt of his rifle.
"kill!"
Soon there was a puppet army officer holding a big knife in his hand. He rushed over with murderous intent and started to chop with the knife.
The platoon leader of the guerrilla corps hurriedly raised his rifle to block. As the sword slashed down, the guard of the rifle in his hand suddenly shattered. The platoon leader's arms went numb and he almost fell to the ground.
However, this fierce puppet army officer refused to let him go and started chasing and slashing the platoon leader.
Soon, the platoon leader of the guerrilla army picked up a piece of wood and swung it at the lower body of the puppet army officer. With an ouch, the puppet army officer was swept to the ground, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground.
land.
The platoon leader of the guerrilla army rushed over quickly and stabbed the puppet officer's chest with his bayonet. As the bayonet was pulled out, a stream of bloody arrows flew all over his face.
Boom!
With the flash of the explosion next to him, the guerrilla platoon leader who stabbed him again saw clearly the face of the puppet army officer, whose face was twisted in pain, and he was stunned.
"Wang Quan!"
The painful puppet officer with blood frothing at his mouth also used the faint light in the distance to see clearly that the guerrilla officer who killed him turned out to be a good friend who had killed the Japanese side by side.
"Zhang...Zhang Tie..." The killing intent in the eyes of the puppet army officer disappeared, replaced by pain.
"Wang Quan, why the hell are you following the traitors to beat our own brothers!"
The guerrilla officer stopped hurriedly, looked at the dying puppet officer, and asked loudly, tears streaming down his face.
"I...I can't help myself, brother...give me a good time."
