"Do you all want to live?" the battalion commander asked in shocking words.
"Of course I do. If I didn't want to live, I wouldn't have surrendered to the Japanese, become a prisoner of the Japanese, and bear the name of a traitor!" When life and death were at stake, everyone responded without hesitation.
"If you don't want to die, then listen to me! We have six Japs here, two people are responsible for each, kill them with pistols!" the battalion commander ordered with a serious look.
Then he personally pulled out the pistol, loaded the bullet, put it back into the holster, and walked to room 9 where the Japanese instructor was at the back.
Because the people who came were all officers of the Imperial Association Army, a few Japanese instructors did not notice anything unusual about me, and as soon as they saw the battalion commander, they shouted and threatened that everyone must guard the ammunition depot and live and die with the ammunition depot, otherwise the Imperial Army would not let go
Pass them!
"Do it!" The battalion commander, who had been wearing a flattering smile just now, turned serious in an instant, and then ordered loudly.
He took out the loaded Mauser, and when several Japanese soldiers looked at him with different and disbelieving eyes, he pulled the trigger at them.
"Bah, bang, bang..." A total of five Mausers were fired at the same time, and the dense bullets beat the six Japanese into a hornet's nest. They fell to the ground in despair without even having time to react.
"Immediately raise the white flag and surrender to the Eighth Route Army. Enough brothers have died today, no more!" the battalion commander ordered after putting away Mauser.
The reason why he is so anxious is that the battalion commander also has his own private message.
As the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army, even if you surrender to the Eighth Route Army you will not be shot, but you will still be severely punished. However, the more benefits you bring to the Eighth Route Army when you surrender, the greater your merits will be.
The penalty you will receive will be much smaller.
"Battal Commander, the Imperial Army raised the white flag and surrendered!" A platoon leader in front happily rushed over to report.
"The artillery stopped firing and immediately moved their positions. The second company accepted their surrender. The third company took the firepower company and continued to attack two hundred meters along this street, and then set up defenses on the spot to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from counterattacking!"
"Yang Xiong, take the first company, the guards, and the mortars you brought over, and attack the street on the right. The mission is the same, first assault two hundred meters forward and then stop to block the attack!"
As soon as the order was given, an exclamation came over.
"Battal Commander, there are Japanese soldiers rushing over from the street on the right, about a small team!"
Before Zhang Yunshan could speak, Yang Xiong called for battle: "Batalion Commander, I will take people to deal with them!"
Although there are less than 80 people in the company and guard platoon, the equipment is very good. Not to mention a rifle, Yang Xiong, the machine gun captured by the Royal Association Army along the way, took with him, a total of six crooked and Czech-made machine guns.
With three mortars and three grenades, Yang Xiong was confident of relying on firepower to give the Japanese a head-on blow.
"Fight the Japs here. All the machine guns are mounted on the wall next to the courtyard. The mortars and grenade launchers are all aimed at the street in front. I will fire at the command and give the Japs a three-round rapid fire. The machine guns and rifles will also be fired together.
Shoot!" As soon as he reached a corner of the street, Yang Xiong pointed at the wall next to him and ordered.
After receiving the reinforcement order, more than fifty Japanese soldiers fired towards the west gate with all their strength.
Hearing that the sound of gunfire from the west of the city was getting weaker and weaker, the experienced squad leader immediately realized that the battle in the west of the city might be coming to an end.
Once the Eighth Route Army completely occupied the west of the city, it would be very difficult for the troops to retake it and drive out the Eighth Route Army that had entered Laiyuan City, and the troops would suffer heavy casualties. Therefore, the squad leader kept urging his soldiers to hurry up and rush on their way.
In the last wave of fighting, the Eighth Route Army could be caught off guard without giving the Eighth Route Army time to occupy and control the western part of the city.
"Warriors, speed up. The material warehouse in the west of the city is ahead. We must get in front of the Eighth Route Army and defend it!" The running team leader kept urging his men to speed up.
Seeing that the supplies warehouse was right in front of us, and it only took a minute to rush over, some Eighth Route Army figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Everyone is ready for battle. There is an Eighth Route Army in front of us blocking us. Prepare to rush over!" The squad leader frowned and immediately ordered.
Then he drew out his command sword, swung the blade forward, and ordered loudly: "Kill him..."
"Ta-ta-ta..." The two crooked guns equipped by the team fired first.
The two machine gunners held the crooked handles in their hands and used them as submachine guns. They fired at Yang Xiong while shouting slogans that the Eighth Route Army did not understand.
"Da da da..." At this moment, a burst of machine gun fire suddenly sounded from the courtyard wall that the squad leader had not noticed.
The two machine gunners at the front fell down without even a chance to react.
As soon as his machine gunner died, a barrage of bullets flew towards the rifleman behind him.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen riflemen were beaten into a hornet's nest and fell down on the road as the squad leader watched with heartbreak.
Not to mention, in the middle of such a small-scale encounter, the squad leader actually heard a scream, and several shells were thrown at him.
"Hidden, everyone, hide quickly!" The team leader's face instantly turned pale, and then he lay down on the ground.
"Boom, boom, boom..." After the explosion, the captain clearly felt the hot air waves roasting his back. At the same time, a scream also reached his ears.
"Bagh Ya Road, this is an ambush, not an encounter. The Eighth Route Army has been prepared for a long time. They have already taken down the material warehouse. Back up, back up immediately!" The team leader, whose face was blackened by smoke, shouted loudly as soon as he got up.
commanded.
Then, regardless of the others, he took the nearest dozen subordinates around him and ran back.
"It's not that easy for the little Japs to shoot the cannons! The artillerymen will fire out the shells immediately. Kill as many Japs as they can, and the others will come after me!" the sharp-eyed Yang Xiong ordered loudly.
"Comrades, charge with me!" the squad platoon leader responded immediately, then took the lead and charged forward.
"Follow the machine gunner and shoot the Japanese with machine guns! Hurry!" Yang Xiong, who was charging, ordered loudly.
At this time, more than half of the more than fifty Japanese troops had been lost, and two crooked weapons were also lost on the battlefield.
When Yang Xiong directed several machine gunners to fire, a dense barrage of bullets shot into the backs of the Japanese, knocking them to the ground.
"Keep charging, don't stop without an order!" Yang Xiong continued to order the machine gunner while charging.
Soon, more than a hundred meters passed, and a dozen Japanese soldiers who were retreating frantically collided with the follow-up reinforcements.
"Stop and take cover, the Japanese army is coming. Get ready to fight and stop them!" Yang Xiong, who had been staring at the Japanese soldiers, ordered promptly.
Just as dozens of subordinates hid in the nearby yard, a burst of bullets flew over from the opposite side. Three soldiers who were slow to react were shot directly and fell to the ground.
"The artillery and grenade launchers will fire immediately and hit areas where there are many Japs. Remember to move the artillery positions. There are many Japs, so they must have brought artillery!" the heartbroken Yang Xiong ordered with vengeful fury.
More than two hundred Japanese soldiers had just finished gathering and were about to charge forward when the first round of bullets consisting of three artillery shells and three grenades exploded among them.
"Disperse quickly and take cover. It's an artillery attack by the Eighth Route Army. Contact our artillery unit to counterattack immediately and destroy them!" The leader of the Japanese squadron, who was leading the group, shouted an order while lying on the ground.
