Wang Ping was actually very nervous. There were really too many new recruits in the guard company, and there were too few guns, not even a light machine gun.
This means that in this ambush battle, the gun cannot be the protagonist.
The Japs have more guns than the Guard Company, and their marksmanship is better. If the two troops fall into a confrontation and shoot at each other on the battlefield, then the Guard Company's more than 100 people will become living targets for the Japs' gunners. No matter how many more guns there are,
There are not enough people for them to kill.
Therefore, the guard company cannot give the Japanese a chance to counterattack. They must find a way to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese a few seconds before the ambush begins, so that they lose the strength to resist.
At this time, Zeng Quan, who was in charge of luring the enemy, had already rushed past Wang Ping.
There are ten veterans, and there are five left at this time.
Although he was very heartbroken, Wang Ping quickly regained his composure and stared at the Japanese who were constantly charging over a hundred meters away.
"Get your grenades ready. As soon as I fire, everyone in the company will throw grenades at the Japanese!" Wang Ping ordered Zhong Yusheng in a low voice.
In less than half a minute, the Japanese entered the ambush circle.
There were about fifty Japanese soldiers, and the formation stretched for seventy or eighty meters due to the speed of pursuit. Fortunately, the ambush circle prepared by Wang Ping for them was nearly a hundred meters long, otherwise they would not be able to contain them at all.
After the last Japs entered the ambush circle, Wang Ping took aim at the Japs machine gunner and opened fire without saying a word.
A flurry of bullets swept past, and the machine gunner carrying the crooked handle and the assistant shooter next to him were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest, and then fell to the road.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, more than a hundred grenades with white smoke flew out of the forest, and then exploded next to the Japanese.
Compared with the new recruits who throw the grenade out as soon as they start the fire, the veterans let the grenade stay in their hands for three seconds before throwing it out. In this way, the grenade explodes as soon as it flies over the enemy's head!
The Japanese who only wanted to catch up with Zeng Quan never thought that they would be attacked here, and it was a grenade rain consisting of more than a hundred grenades.
Therefore, when grenades fell from the sky, many Japanese soldiers continued to move forward without even trying to dodge.
It wasn't until the sound of explosions rang in their ears that they subconsciously lay down on the ground, holding their heads to avoid the grenade fragments flying above their heads.
At this time, if the grenade hits the ground and explodes, many Japanese will be able to hide on the ground.
But there was an accident. A dozen grenades flew out a little later and exploded in the air. Even if they were lying on the ground and there were even trenches to hide in, the grenade fragments falling from the sky could still cause fatal damage to them.
Therefore, after the first round of grenade rain, which took less than five seconds, there were less than twenty Japanese soldiers still alive in the encirclement.
At this time, the sound of grenade explosions had not ended. However, the second round of grenades thrown by the guard company came down again.
The violent explosion once again enveloped the entire ambush circle.
"Any comrade with a gun will immediately reload the gun for the Japanese, dead or alive. Others can't move. After the rifle is finished, rush up and clean the battlefield!" Wang Ping ordered immediately after throwing a grenade.
After suffering a loss due to wounded Japanese soldiers, Wang Ping would never allow any of his men to die in vain at the hands of wounded Japanese soldiers.
After the thick smoke that shrouded the ambush circle began to dissipate, a bloody and tragic scene appeared directly in front of everyone.
Smelling the smell of blood that was already filling the air, many recruits turned pale and even started to vomit.
The veteran holding the rifle in his hand was very excited and shocked.
With more than fifty elite Japs, they had no problem defeating a single company of the Eighth Route Army on the frontal battlefield. But now, such an infantry squad was easily wiped out by themselves.
Although everyone had said that Company Commander Wang Ping was a hero who fought against Japanese soldiers a few days ago, it must be a different feeling to see it now. So, at this moment, many people looked at Wang Ping with awe.
It’s different.
Wang Ping also felt these gazes, frowned, and immediately ordered: "What are you doing standing there, waiting to die! If you don't shoot immediately, clean the battlefield and retreat!"
"Bang, bang, bang..." The crisp gunshots only rang out for less than half a minute before stopping, and the guard company followed and rushed towards the mountain road.
At this time, there was not a single Japanese alive on the mountain road.
Although the Japanese infantry squad had a lot of various equipment, in order to prepare for the return of the main Japanese force, the guard company only took weapons and ammunition and withdrew from the battlefield without taking any other equipment.
"Company Commander, the seizures have been counted. There are 29 rifles in total, two light machine guns with crooked handles, and two grenade launchers! Because not a single bullet was fired after the Japanese were attacked, all kinds of ammunition were fully loaded.
Two base figures. In addition, five tortoise boxes and a pair of binoculars were seized. As for the remaining rifles, they were all destroyed by grenades." Deputy company commander Zeng Quan reported with excitement as soon as he rushed to Wang Ping.
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "With these weapons and ammunition, we will have the capital to fight the Japanese!"
"Deputy company commander Zeng, all rifles are equipped with one and two platoons, and machine guns and pistols are directly under the squad. I remember that one of the veterans assigned to us by the commander was an artilleryman, and one person was selected from each squad to form an artillery squad. This
The veteran is the squad leader, give him the two grenade launchers and all the grenades!"
"I will give everyone five minutes to change clothes. In five minutes we will set off to clean up the main Japanese army."
The violent sound of grenade explosions reached Captain Aoki's ears easily. As a veteran who has been in the army for nearly ten years, Aoki is as familiar with various weapons made by the empire as anyone else.
It can be said that when Aoki heard the sound, he knew what tone it was coming from.
Although the grenade explosion only vaguely reached Aoki's ears, Aoki was still certain that the explosion was definitely not from the imperial grenade, and he was also certain that the explosion was from the grenade commonly equipped by the Chinese army.
Such a violent and dense explosion would definitely not be possible without hundreds of grenades.
So many grenades exploded at the same time, and I thought that an infantry squad of my own was chasing them in the direction of the explosion.
A very bad premonition immediately appeared in Aoki's mind, and his face instantly turned pale.
Then he exclaimed loudly: "Bageya Road, something must have happened to our first team!"
