Because the security squad struck preemptively, they caught the Japanese off guard. With only two casualties, eleven Japanese soldiers were eliminated.
At this time, violent explosions of grenades were heard from the other direction of the Japanese. There was no doubt that this was the artillery squad that was blocking them.
With the artillery's fighting method, the most it can do is slow down their attack speed. Once the enemy reacts and knows that there are only two grenades attacking them, the remaining enemy will definitely come here at all costs.
Thinking of this, Wang Ping frowned, and then shouted loudly: "The Japanese reinforcements are coming soon, take the Japanese weapons and ammunition, and retreat immediately!"
When eight or nine Japanese soldiers rushed here in a hurry, only the backs of the guard squad were left on the battlefield as they retreated.
Looking at the eleven corpses lying on the ground in front of him, in order to avoid repeating the same mistake, the Japanese Sergeant decisively ordered his men to stop and wait for the reinforcements sent by Aoki to arrive before pursuing the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Ping and his guard squad, which had only eight people left, quickly joined the artillery squad. After distributing the extra rifles to the artillerymen, they continued to retreat. After running for three to four hundred meters, woods reappeared on both sides of the official road, and Wang Ping signaled
Everyone stop.
"People can hide in the woods next to us. Let's let the Japanese attack here again!" Wang Ping made a decision immediately.
"We now have three crooked weapons with sufficient ammunition, which is perfect for attacking the Japanese search team!" Wang Ping then began to give orders.
"It's still the same old rules. The guard squad will stay with me to attack the Japanese, and all three crooked handles will be left behind. The artillery squad will go fifty meters behind to set up the grenade launchers. As soon as the main Japanese troops arrive, they will fire artillery to cover the retreat of the guard squad!
"
The security squad plus Wang Ping had a total of nine people. Except for the three machine gunners who were manipulating the crooked handles, the remaining six people each had a pair of guns, a tortoise box, and a three-eight cover that had just been captured by the Japanese.
As soon as the nine people disappeared into the woods, a search team composed of 13 Japanese soldiers came into Wang Ping's sight.
"Da da da..." In order to rush forward, the Japanese search team only conducted fire reconnaissance on the woods on both sides of the official road and then continued to rush forward. In less than a minute, they rushed to the forest where the guard squad was hiding!
"Squad Leader Zhong: You keep an eye on the Japanese machine gunners and fight, I will fight the Japanese sergeants, and the others will fight the Japanese infantry. Try to kill them with one round of strafing. In that case, we still have time to clean the battlefield!" Wang Ping ordered in a low voice!
"Bang!" Wang Ping pulled the trigger of his rifle as soon as the figure of the Japanese soldier was caught in the sight.
Then, without even looking at the scene of the Japanese soldier being headshot, he directly aimed at the Japanese rifleman next to him, ejected the bullet casing, reloaded, took aim, and fired... In less than three seconds, the Japanese soldier was also headshot.
At this time, three crooked rifles and the remaining five rifles also opened fire one after another.
Especially the crooked gun, each shot fired at least ten bullets. Even if one shot only killed two Japs, six Japs in total would lose their lives in an instant.
And the actual results achieved by the three crooked tactics are definitely far more than these.
When Wang Ping shot the second Japs in the head and was about to find the next target, there was not a single Japs soldier standing on the official road dozens of meters away.
There is no doubt that if not all the thirteen Japanese soldiers were killed, they were almost dead.
Then I saw the main force of the Japanese on the official road more than 300 meters behind the search team. As soon as they heard the sound of gunshots, they rushed over here screaming. For one minute against the sky, the bullets fired by the main force of the Japanese could threaten the guard squad.
Wang Ping was very jealous of a crooked handle and eleven thirty-eight covers dozens of meters away. He took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Japs had not yet rushed over. Regardless of whether the Japs on the official road dozens of meters away were still alive, he directly ordered:
.
"Machine gun cover, riflemen rush forward, take only the enemy's weapons and ammunition, and then retreat immediately, hurry up!"
The remaining five riflemen in the guard squad rushed to the official road with their rifles in hand. They were very lucky that all thirteen Japanese were dead and they rushed to the official road very easily.
Just as he was about to collect the weapons and ammunition on the ground, the main Japanese troops rushed over.
Rifles, crooked handles, all pointed at several people.
Fortunately, they were too far away from the battlefield at this time, and the flying bullets did not hit their targets.
However, as long as the Japanese charged forward a few dozen meters, the five riflemen in the guard squad would definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest by them.
"Boom!" At the critical moment, two grenades hit the enemy's main force and exploded.
Although the violent explosion did not kill any Japanese, the close explosion still frightened many of them, and the unstoppable offensive was blocked.
The artillery squad's two grenades fired in time, not only saving the five riflemen of the guard squad, but also buying them almost half a minute.
The moment the second round of two grenades hit the enemy again and exploded, Wang Ping couldn't help but continue shouting: "Pack up your weapons and ammunition quickly and retreat immediately!"
Wang Ping led the guard squad to join the artillery squad, and after successfully escaping from the enemy's sight, Captain Aoki was furious as he stood in front of the corpses of thirteen of his subordinates.
A reinforced squadron of nearly 200 warriors lost an infantry squad in front and two combat groups in the rear.
Although he only lost less than 80 warriors, he lost four full crooked soldiers. More importantly, with the loss of so many warriors, he hardly destroyed much of the Eighth Route Army!
Thinking of this, Captain Aoki was so angry that he wanted to immediately find the Eighth Route Army that was attacking him, and then use three heavy machine guns to beat them into a hornet's nest to vent his hatred.
"Captain, do you want to continue rushing forward?" The vice-captain walked to Aoki and asked softly!
"Of course we have to attack. If we can't capture the Eighth Route Army's First Military Division Headquarters, wouldn't these warriors in our squadron die in vain?" An angry Aoki replied without thinking.
"Although we still have more than a hundred people, the combat force is only a little more than one squad. With this small force, I'm worried that even if we reach the Eighth Route Army's First Army Division Headquarters, we won't have the strength to destroy it!" the deputy captain said with a look on his face.
