The squad leader who was still alive was shocked at first, and then realized what he was doing.
"Baga! The enemy has been prepared for a long time. He can blow us all to death here with just grenades!"
"Retreat, retreat immediately, we must have artillery support to retake the top of the mountain!"
The Japanese troops retreated just as quickly as they came.
However, there were nearly two hundred people when they came, but in the end only about a hundred people retreated, and the rest all turned into corpses, lying on the slopes around the top of the mountain.
By this time, the battle of the guard platoon had ended.
Although more than half of the guard platoon suffered casualties, Zhang Yunshan could not control so much now.
"Comrades, the top of the mountain is ours now! Our next task is to attack the Japanese on the mountainside from a high position!" Zhang Yunshan called several company and platoon leaders and began to issue orders!
"The Japs attacking the top of the mountain have just been defeated by us, and they must not have had time to prepare for defense on the top of the mountain. We must take advantage of this opportunity to rush to the mountainside and use machine guns and grenades to eliminate the Japs guarding the mountainside!"
"Guard Platoon and Reconnaissance Platoon follow me and counterattack from the east! The first and second platoons of the second company attack from the west, and the first and second platoons of the third company attack from the north. The instructor will lead the remaining soldiers to attack from the south and start taking action!"
"No need to wait for my order, whoever is ready will start fighting!"
There are less than thirty soldiers left in the guard platoon plus the reconnaissance squad, but they possess four machine guns and nearly twenty Mauser pistols.
More than 20 people lined up in two skirmish lines, armed with machine guns and Mauser pistols, and charged toward the Japanese formation on the mountainside.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army has counterattacked from the top of the mountain!" Seeing the Eighth Route Army rushing down more than ten meters in an instant, the Japanese squad leader who had just retreated shouted with a frightened expression.
The squadron leader standing nearby reacted immediately: "Hurry up and shoot to stop them. Turn the machine gun around immediately and shoot to prevent the Eighth Route Army from rushing down!"
The heavy machine gun with its muzzle pointed at the foot of the mountain was immediately raised by the Japanese, who wanted to turn around and shoot.
The riflemen and machine guns don't have to go to so much trouble, just turn around and start shooting.
"Papapa! Da Da ..." The dense sound of gunfire immediately sounded at the Japanese position in the mountainside.
More than twenty soldiers were caught off guard, and seven or eight soldiers fell directly.
"Lie down and take cover, use machine gun fire to suppress it. Others throw grenades and smash all the grenades out!" While the guard platoon leader was lying down, he already had the grenade hanging on his waist in his hand. He pulled out the ring,
He lightly knocked on the stone next to him, and pungent white smoke came out from the grenade ring.
After holding it in his hand for two or three seconds, he hit the devil hard.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Within a few seconds, a violent explosion rang out among the gunfire.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army's firepower is too strong. We are just a target for them from being condescending!" Listening to the constant explosions and gunshots around them, several Japanese team captains were very anxious.
"Our positions are all facing the foot of the mountain. There is no cover for the square top of the mountain. Moreover, we have to shoot from above. We have to squat down to shoot out the bullets. But the Eighth Route Army only needs to lie down to shoot. The difference is too obvious!"
"There are also grenades. They are condescending and can throw grenades at them. No matter how strong our arms are, there is no way we can throw grenades up to the top of the mountain and kill the Eighth Route Army rushing down."
The squadron leader frowned, and his stomach was full of anger and grievance. But his military literacy was very good, and he immediately responded: "Where are the grenade launchers? Gather all the grenade launchers to counterattack!"
"There are not many opponents. If you gather six grenade launchers together, it won't take long to kill them!"
"Hi!" A team leader immediately accepted the order, then lowered his head and prepared to make arrangements!
"Boom..." He had just walked less than ten meters when a grenade hit and exploded next to him.
The team leader reacted very quickly and subconsciously lay down when he realized something was wrong. However, he was not seen standing up after the explosion.
There is no doubt that the squad leader was either killed or injured in the explosion just now and was unable to give orders.
"Baga, I'll make arrangements!" A sergeant stepped forward with a curse.
But at this moment, a sergeant not far away suddenly rushed over, very anxious and panicked: "Captain, the heavy machine gun has been blown up!"
"Many people were killed by the grenade launchers. The Eighth Route Army fired from a high position. As soon as our grenade launchers appeared, they stared at us and attacked us. There was no way we could set up artillery to counterattack!"
There are more than 300 infantrymen, excluding the small team left to guard the top of the mountain, there are only one and a half teams in each direction.
We lost half the team in the counterattack on the top of the mountain just now, and there are not many troops left.
Now we have been suppressed by the Eighth Route Army for such a long time, especially grenades, which are thrown at us for free. No matter how many troops there are, they cannot withstand such consumption, not to mention that the troops in hand are not many in the first place.
When the squadron leader was sullen and silent, a sergeant reported realistically: "Captain, the Eighth Route Army's firepower is too strong. We don't have many warriors left, and we can only be beaten passively. We can last for two minutes at most!"
The squadron leader reacted immediately. Within two minutes, he could either choose to lead a dozen remnants to retreat, or choose to die here.
"Bageya Road, cunning Eighth Route Army, sooner or later I will pay for it with blood!" the squadron leader yelled.
After a few seconds, he began to issue orders: "Gentlemen, the purpose of our hiding here is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops. Now it seems that we have obviously been exposed, so there is no need to turn a sneak attack into a life-and-death battle."
, we are all fighting to the death here. Even if we die, we will die on the frontal battlefield, on the offensive road!"
"Retreat, immediately retreat to the direction of the defense line. Get out of the battle, and wait until daybreak before we counterattack and destroy them!"
"Retreat immediately!" About twenty Japanese infantrymen and a dozen heavy machine gunners turned around and ran down the mountain.
After the Japs in one direction retreated, the Japs in the other three directions retreated one after another like a chain reaction.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Yunshan kept holding his telescope, using the cover of the fire caused by the grenade explosion, to stare down at the Japanese from a high position.
"The stubborn little devils are finally retreating. Just in time to follow them all the way to our third line of defense!" Zhang Yunshan, who breathed a sigh of relief, immediately ordered.
"Blow the charge horn and chase the Japanese behind and beat them!"
"Comrades, come with me!" the guard platoon leader jumped up from the ground, raised his pistol and rushed out.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..." The four machine gunners holding machine guns rushed forward while holding fire.
"Ah...Baga..." In an instant, the few Japanese soldiers running at the end were shot in the back and fell on the charge road. Amidst the intensive gunfire, several machine gunners could still vaguely hear their dying words.
Curses.
