Two ambushed light machine guns covered the Japs at close range, and immediately beat up the Japs soldiers who rushed to the position. Their mutilated bodies flew everywhere in the blood mist.
Japanese Major Kuroda Ichiro, who was watching the battle in the distance, was stunned. He watched helplessly as the soldiers under his command were slaughtered mercilessly. He didn't even have the strength to fight back and fell into a pool of blood.
The sudden change in the situation in the blink of an eye made the Japanese captain Sadao Kasai twitch violently. This move of the guerrillas was too cruel and unethical!
"Attack! I will cut them into pieces!" Ichiro Kuroda roared with a ferocious expression.
Two more squads of Japanese soldiers who stayed on guard and stood by rushed out with a roar. Each of them had blood-red eyes and murderous intent.
"Run, run!"
When the machine gunners who had exhausted their magazines saw a large number of Japanese soldiers rushing towards them, they did not dare to stay, so they shouldered their machine guns and ran away.
"Whizzing--"
Bullets kept passing by them, but they did not dare to stop and dodge, because once they stopped, they would be overtaken by Japanese soldiers.
"puff!"
A bullet hit a running ammunition hand. He staggered a few steps and then fell into the muddy water.
"brother!"
Hearing the sound of splashing muddy water, a guerrilla officer and soldier carrying a machine gun turned around and anxiously tried to pull out the shot brother.
"Run, don't...leave me alone..."
The brother who was shot was spitting blood and foaming at the mouth, urging the machine gunner who was trying to pull him up.
"ah!"
The Japanese soldiers were surrounding us. They were moving very fast, and their ferocious faces were full of beast-like ferocity. They were enraged.
"Let's go, we can't save him, leave quickly, it's too late if we don't go!"
Another machine gunner and ammunition hand saw that the brother who was lying in the muddy water was already dying. The situation was not good, so he fired a bunch of bullets at the back, picked up the machine gunner and ran away.
The machine gunner looked at the brother who fell in the muddy water, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
"Pfft!"
The Japanese soldiers rushed over with murderous intent, their gleaming bayonets fiercely piercing the bodies of the shot brothers, and they roared ferociously.
"Bang bang!"
The guerrilla officers and soldiers lurking in the wilderness on both sides also opened fire one after another, bullets flying in random directions. From time to time, Japanese soldiers were shot and injured and dragged to the back of the field for shelter.
The Japanese were like wild dogs, chasing after them when they smelled the fishy smell. In the countryside shrouded in rain and fog, a chase was unfolding.
However, the guerrilla officers and soldiers were familiar with the terrain, and had previously dug many fortifications and laid many traps. Many little devils chased them but were knocked down by bullets that flew out for no reason.
But the little devil also became ruthless, biting a wandering guerrilla officer and soldier and not letting go, chasing after him like a wild dog.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Clear gunshots kept ringing out. The Japanese soldiers were good at shooting. From time to time, the fleeing guerrilla officers and soldiers were shot and fell to the ground. Then the Japanese soldiers rushed over and stabbed them to death.
"Boom!"
Landmines were also constantly being detonated by the little Japs, causing the little Japs with missing arms and legs to flop on the ground like a dying beast, and his neck was wiped off by the guerrilla officers and soldiers who rushed over.
When the reinforcements of the Japanese soldiers rushed over, all the guerrilla officers and soldiers left behind was a dashing silhouette.
In this wilderness shrouded in rain and fog, the Japanese soldiers waded through the muddy water and were circled around by the guerrilla officers and soldiers. In a whole morning, they could not advance more than ten miles.
There were many little Japs chasing them, and the team formed a long snake formation. The machine guns of the guerrillas lurking on the flanks would open fire. A stream of bullets would sweep through and kill four or five Japs.
When the Japs were exposed on the bare field ridges, bullets flying in several directions would strangle them. The force of the collision of the bullets would make them stagger around, and then they would fall in a pool of blood.
The heavy casualties made Japanese Major Kuroda Ichiro take a breath of cold air and made him realize that his opponent was not just a poorly trained rabble, but a group of elite troops with rich combat experience.
"Shrink your defenses and don't pursue the guerrillas' attacks!"
No one knew what dangers lurked in those hazy wilderness. When many Japanese soldiers disappeared into the wilderness forever, Kuroda Ichiro had to let the chasing team retreat to the main road.
The blow that the guerrillas inflicted on the Japanese soldiers did not make Kuroda Ichiro retreat, but made him feel that this guerrilla must be eradicated, otherwise when they develop and grow, they will definitely be a huge threat.
This northern Jiangsu area was originally a land of plenty, but now it has become the main supplier of military rations to the Japanese. They absolutely cannot tolerate the presence of such an active guerrilla group.
The puppet soldiers led by Zhang Laizi also hurriedly and slowly joined the Japanese soldiers. When they saw the Japanese soldiers who were in a state of disarray and looked like mud monkeys, they were stunned.
They did not expect that the always invincible imperial army would be in such a mess, but they just smiled in their hearts but did not dare to show it on their faces.
"Open the way for you!" Kuroda Ichiro finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the arrival of the puppet troops, and directly ordered them to take the lead.
Zhang Laizi was complaining endlessly in his heart. Your imperial army was beaten in such a miserable state. If you let us take the lead, wouldn't this mean that we are going to die?
But he did not dare to refuse, so he had to send a company of puppet troops to serve as the vanguard, and the team continued to advance along the destroyed road.
"Teng Teng Teng——"
After walking less than a few hundred meters, the Min-24 heavy machine gun hidden in the woods roared, and the puppet troops in the front class were immediately wiped out.
"Oh my god, they have heavy weapons!"
Seeing their companions being beaten to pieces, the puppet soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, rolling and crawling until they were covered with mud and water. They were as embarrassed as they wanted.
"Bombardment! Bombardment!"
The heavy machine guns also really scared Ichiro Kuroda. Are these still those vulnerable guerrillas? There are not only a large number of light machine guns, but even heavy machine guns!
He now has serious suspicions that Japanese Captain Kasai Sadao lied about the military situation. There must be a main force of the Chinese Army hidden here, otherwise how could there be such powerful firepower.
The Type 92 infantry artillery was quickly pushed up, and there was another rumbling bombardment. The entire area was filled with smoke and a mess, but except for the branches that were blown into pieces, there was not even a human hair.
When the Japs were stuck on the road by the guerrilla officers and soldiers of the First Battalion and were making slow progress, troops from four companies of the Second Battalion led by Wu Changqing had taken the opportunity to jump behind the Japs soldiers and headed straight for Qinghe Town.
"Class, monitor, there's a situation!"
A puppet soldier standing guard on the stronghold's gun tower watched from a distance as a team came over in the rain and fog, and hurriedly shouted to the puppet squad leader who was playing cards while hiding from the rain.
"What's going on?" The puppet squad leader threw away the cards in his hand impatiently and stood up with a curse.
"It seems that someone has come over, quite a few." The sentry replied truthfully.
The squad leader of the puppet army walked to the lookout with suspicion, and saw that someone had indeed come over, carrying a stretcher.
"It's the wounded from the imperial army who have been sent back. Come on, go down and help."
The squad leader of the puppet army soon saw clearly that the opponent was wearing a steel helmet, and he hurriedly called the puppet soldiers in the artillery tower to go down the stairs to help, hoping to take the opportunity to show off.
