Chapter 18 Killing the Devil and Returning to the Carbine
The deputy captain next to me is not a fool either.
He reacted as soon as Aoki reminded him, and then asked: "Captain, what should we do next!"
Aoki had a hesitant expression on his face, not knowing how to answer.
With so many grenades exploding at the same time, if they really attacked the first team, then the first team would definitely be in trouble.
Even if he brings the main force to the direction of the explosion to reinforce now, it doesn't make any sense. Also, reinforcing the first team means that the time for him to reach the first army division headquarters will be postponed.
Every minute on the battlefield is precious. If you delay for one more minute here, the First Army Division Headquarters that you have targeted may escape from under your nose.
But it would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally not to reinforce them. After all, there are more than fifty of his subordinates there. To abandon them like this would definitely cause a huge blow to the morale of others.
Without the first team, even if you fight all the way to the Eighth Route Army's First Army Division Headquarters, your limited force may prevent you from completely destroying them, causing some fish to slip through the net.
Therefore, for the current Captain Aoki, it is not the case to reinforce the first team, nor is it not to not reinforce the first team.
At this moment, the violent grenade explosions stopped, and then a series of gunshots rang out on the battlefield. But it didn't last long, and the gunfire stopped. Then, there was no sound coming from the direction of the battlefield.
In this case, there are only two outcomes. One is that the Eighth Route Army is wiped out by the first squad. The other is that the Eighth Route Army wipes out the first squad. Judging from the sound of gunfire on the battlefield, the possibility of the second outcome is obviously more
Bigger.
However, no matter what the outcome is, it doesn't make any sense whether or not he brings the main force to reinforce the first team.
Thinking of this, Aoki no longer hesitated and ordered directly: "The battle in the direction of the first team is over. Order the troops to continue on their way and go directly to the Eighth Route Army's First Army Division Headquarters and destroy it!"
"Hi!" Although the vice-captain was very reluctant, he still pretended to be cheerful and answered after thinking about the strict hierarchy in the army.
In order to eliminate the first squadron of Aoki Squadron, a total of eight people from the guard company sacrificed their lives.
But with the seizure of weapons and equipment, the guard company's originally low morale immediately became high, and its marching speed became faster and faster, as if there was wind under its feet.
In addition, the guard company was familiar with the terrain and took small roads. When Aoki Squadron was still two kilometers away from the headquarters, the guard company finally arrived in front of them.
"Time is running out, there is no time to stop the fortifications here!" Wang Ping immediately analyzed as he looked at the more than a hundred Japanese who were getting closer and closer a few hundred meters away.
But before everyone could wait for too long, Wang Ping relaxed his frown and ordered: "Deputy Company Commander Zeng, I remember there is a ridge on the mountain road from here to the headquarters. It would be a good idea to build fortifications to stop the Japanese."
The guard squad and the artillery squad will stay. You can take the remaining comrades away and dig trenches and build fortifications there!"
Zeng Quan refused without thinking: "No, you are the company commander. You will lead the main force. I will lead the guard squad and artillery squad to slow down the Japanese marching speed and buy time for the main force to repair the fortifications!"
The expression on Wang Ping's face did not change at all, and he retorted directly: "This is nothing to discuss. I am better at this kind of small-scale harassment and sniper warfare than all of you. Time is tight, execute the order immediately!"
After Zeng Quan repeatedly told Zhong Yusheng to protect Wang Ping, he quickly left with the main force.
At this time, the main force of the Japs was less than 200 meters away from the forest where they were hiding. The eyes of the remaining less than twenty people were all focused on Wang Ping, waiting for Wang Ping to give the order.
"First use a grenade to blast them from a long distance, and then use a machine gun to shoot at their attacking troops! Zhang Bing, you and I will each control a grenade and three grenades each, and then retreat after the attack!" Wang Ping said to the artillery squad!
Squad leader Zhou Bing ordered.
Under the gazes of more than a dozen pairs of admiring eyes, the two men quickly set up the grenade, took a simple aim, and started firing grenades.
"Boom...boom..." Without any preparation, two grenades suddenly hit and exploded around them.
The moment two puffs of black smoke rose into the sky, five or six Japanese soldiers around him were instantly blown over and fell to the ground.
"Baga, the enemy is attacking and shelling, everyone take cover!" the officer among the Japanese shouted loudly, and then he was the first to lie on the ground holding his head.
As soon as they finished speaking, the second round of two grenades exploded next to them, taking the lives of four Japanese again.
After it was over, the remaining Japs no longer hesitated and all lay down on the ground. When the third round of two grenades came, there was no longer a Japs standing on the official road, and in this round of shelling, there were only two
The Japanese were very unlucky to be killed or injured in the bombing.
"Retreat a hundred meters and continue to harass the Japanese!" Wang Ping ordered loudly as soon as the six grenades were fired.
As soon as the group of people were less than 20 meters away, the enemy's remaining four grenade launchers fired back grenades, which hit the position where everyone had just been.
Not counting the artillery counterattack, more than twenty Japanese riflemen, in squad units, each under the cover of a crooked gun, rushed towards the artillery fire coverage area, screaming.
"Company Commander, more than 20 Japanese soldiers are rushing towards the position we abandoned just now. They are equipped with two crooked weapons. Do we fight or not?" Zhong Yusheng, who was at the rear, rushed to Wang Ping with a look of expectation on his face and reported.
"Of course, we will fight. This is fat meat that is put in our mouths. Maybe we can seize a few more guns and a crooked handle!" Wang Ping answered without thinking about it.
After carefully confirming the enemy situation behind him through the telescope, Wang Ping immediately ordered: "The guard squad and I will ambush the eleven Japanese on the left. The artillery squad will stay here and aim at the Japanese on the right. As soon as the gunshots from my side are fired, they will
Reinforcements will definitely come over. Zhang Bing, your mission is to harass them with artillery fire, buy me two minutes!"
Zhang Bing immediately replied: "Company commander, don't worry, I'm already familiar with the grenade. I promise to complete the mission and kill a few more Japanese soldiers by the way!"
Wang Ping returned the same route with his guard squad and two crooked poles, and in less than two minutes he collided with eleven Japanese soldiers.
The security squad struck preemptively, with two crooked pistols and six pistols in total together with Wang Ping. As soon as so many automatic weapons were fired, the dense bullets covered most of the Japs.
In an instant, the six Japs, including the machine gunner, were beaten into a hornet's nest.
The remaining five Japanese soldiers subconsciously lay down on the ground and prepared to fight back. The flying bullets directly killed two people in the guard squad.
However, Zhong Yusheng and another machine gunner also reacted quickly, holding machine guns and shooting at them. Immediately, four Japanese soldiers lying on the ground died and were beaten into a hornet's nest.
Different from the bastard box that others are equipped with, Wang Ping is equipped with a Mauser pistol with an ammunition capacity of twenty rounds.
After the rest of the guard squad finished shooting the bullets, there was still half a magazine left in the Mauser pistol.
Seeing that there were still two Japs alive dozens of meters away, Wang Ping held up his rifle and opened fire before they could fire the second bullet, firing all the bullets in the magazine at once.
From the time of contact with the enemy to the end of the battle, it takes less than ten seconds.
