"Commander, do you want to go back to the headquarters of the 5th Regiment of the Imperial Army to hide?" asked the commander of the new 4th Battalion.
"Can't go!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.
"We have fooled us twice in a row and lost so many troops. The Japs are not fools. I guarantee that after dawn, the Japs' reconnaissance troops and intelligence personnel will definitely look for us like crazy. The location of the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Association Army is too eye-catching.
Once exposed and targeted by Japanese planes, it will definitely cause a devastating blow to our troops, all at once!"
Battalion Commander Li replied with a look of realization: "It's true that in order to prevent us from sneak attacks, the Japs directly chose a place with flat terrain and not even a tree around. If we are really targeted by the Japs, we will not even be able to disperse and hide."
There is no place, we can only be bombed!”
Then he continued to ask: "What should we do during the day today?"
"Disperse and hide!" Wang Ping, who had already had an idea in his mind, blurted out.
"The troops are divided into companies and are scattered and hidden nearby. After dark, they will come out to besiege this stronghold!"
"What we are most worried about now is the Japanese planes. As long as we disperse, the threat from planes to us will be reduced to a minimum!"
"As for the infantry and cavalry of the little devils, at least more than 2,000 people were killed by us in two nights. Although there are still more than 2,000 people left, if you want to surround us in such a large area, even if there is aviation cover, the number of troops will be insufficient
A little less!”
"Except for the troops surrounding us, there will definitely not be too many troops that can be used to encircle and suppress us!"
"It's okay if he doesn't come. If he comes, we will use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to deal with them so that they lose their wives and lose their troops!"
Wang Ping and a security company hid in a forest less than ten kilometers away from the Japanese stronghold. Starting at ten o'clock in the morning, a plane roared over their heads every half hour.
"Captain, a small group of Japanese cavalry is coming. They are very vigilant and have reached the edge of the forest!" Suddenly, a squad leader who was on guard from the outside rushed in and reported.
"Kill them!" the guard company commander next to him shouted with a burning face.
"Commander, give me twenty minutes and I'll make sure to kill this cavalry squad!"
Wang Ping was not hot-headed. He glanced at the watch on his wrist and asked, "How long has it been since the Japanese plane passed above our heads?"
"Almost twenty minutes!" the company commander replied after hesitating for a few seconds.
"Then just wait for twenty minutes!" Wang Ping replied.
"Wait until the enemy plane flies over our heads again for ten minutes before taking action. Try to end the battle within ten minutes and then retreat!"
The company commander immediately reacted and replied with a look of enlightenment: "I understand, commander, you are worried about the Japanese planes coming to bomb us!"
"I will ask the security troops to retreat into the woods now to prevent the Japanese from discovering us. We will take action again in twenty minutes and the battle will be over within ten minutes!"
"Da da da... boom boom... bang bang..."
Gunshots and explosions soon resounded in the woods.
Seeing his subordinates being shot repeatedly and falling to the ground screaming, the Japanese team leader immediately became anxious.
"Everyone move closer to me and don't scatter. No matter where there is any suspicion, use firepower to counterattack and suppress it!"
"Operator, send a telegram to Linfen City immediately to confirm our position and request aviation reinforcements!"
"Baga...ah...I was shot~"
Screams kept ringing in his ears, and fewer and fewer subordinates were still standing around him.
The excited expression on the face of the lieutenant team leader has gradually become solemn. Because of the anxiety and nervousness, big beads of sweat keep popping up from his forehead like rain!
"How long will it take for the aviation troops to come over?" the anxious squad leader couldn't help but ask.
"Da da da……"
Before the operator could say anything, a hail of bullets came over him.
The vigilant team leader dodged the oncoming bullet with a subconscious movement, but the radio operator next to him was not so vigilant.
Three bullets shot directly into his chest. The thick military uniform was as if it were made of paper and was penetrated easily. Then bright red blood poured out from the muzzle of the gun, dyeing the uniform red!
He opened his mouth, wanting to speak. But before he could say anything, red blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head and fell to the ground motionless, turning into a corpse!
"Bagya Road~" the squad leader cursed loudly.
The curses did not stop the flying bullets and grenades.
Amidst a series of violent explosions, the lieutenant team leader felt a chill on his forehead, then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
"Quick, take everything you can carry with you and retreat immediately. The ten minutes set by the regiment commander for us are almost here!" the guard company commander ordered anxiously.
In order to kill the opponent in ten minutes, the guard company commander almost gave up all his wealth.
If they are in an open area with an unobstructed view, the guard company can prepare a pocket formation and kill them easily.
But this is a forest, the terrain is complex, and the Japanese are scattered, so the guard company's powerful firepower cannot be used at all.
In this case, the guard company can only use melee sneak attacks to kill the opponent at close range.
Sneak attacks by submachine gunners, riflemen, machine gunners, long-range fire suppression, and grenades, a total of three dense firepower nets, brought the battle to an end in a short time.
"Rumble..."
As soon as his men rushed towards the Japanese, a faint roar reached the ears of the guard company commander.
"boom!"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gunfire in the Japanese position where there had been no movement just now.
"Da da da..." The subordinates who rushed towards the Japs opened fire quickly, ending the life of the last Japs on the battlefield.
"No, what the Japs just launched was a signal smoke grenade. This was to guide the Japs' aircraft to the bombing target!" Seeing the smoke vaguely visible through the gaps in the trees overhead, the company commander reacted suddenly and ordered.
"Retreat, disperse and retreat immediately. We don't want to clean up the battlefield anymore. Let's retreat now~"
Less than half a minute after the order was given, the scream of artillery shells streaking across the sky sounded behind them, and then a violent explosion rang out.
The company commander who retreated as quickly as possible could clearly feel the hot air waves sweeping towards him~
"It's over...the Japanese plane came too fast, the casualties of the troops must be very high!" This was the company commander's first thought when he was thrown to the ground by the air wave!
The Japanese were too cunning and knew that as soon as they came over, the Eighth Route Army on the ground would disperse and retreat.
Therefore, the overcoming aircraft dropped all the ammunition it carried in one dive.
A total of five aerial bombs fell, and an area as large as two football fields was devastated, leaving no one alive!
