The squad leader was expecting the grenade team to bring him a second surprise. The surprise did not come to him, but he heard a scream approaching him.
He had lost his composure and before he could react, the expression on the sergeant's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed loudly: "Baga, it's a grenade. There are also grenades on Tubal Road. Get down!"
Then he threw the captain to the ground before he could react.
"Boom!" As soon as the two landed, a very violent explosion sounded not far away. Even if they were lying on the ground, they still clearly felt the heat of the air wave!
The Japanese squad leader and the sergeant were all fine, but the artillery group and grenade group placed in the middle of the yard were affected.
The shrapnel flying in all directions blew up the five gunners who were caught off guard, leaving them bloody and bloody, and they fell to the ground.
The remaining five gunners ignored the heavy mortars and began to move with two grenade launchers in hand.
By the time they set up the grenade again and launched a counterattack, the guard company's only grenade had been moved to a nearby yard, then it raised its muzzle and continued to fire grenades at the Japanese wounded soldier camp.
This time, the grenade dropped from the sky and exploded directly among the wounded soldiers. The fireball rising into the sky instantly covered the seven or eight wounded soldiers around them, and then blew them into corpses!
The squad leader had already reacted at this time, and then watched with despair as the wounded soldiers turned into corpses in the explosion.
The sergeant next to him reminded again: "Captain, Tubal Road has rushed outside the yard and is attacking us with grenades! We must find a way to drive them away, otherwise we will all be blown up in the yard!"
The desperate team leader quickly calmed down, frowned and ordered: "Tubalu is so arrogant that he dares to run in front of us and launch an attack!"
"Use grenades and order our riflemen to blow up Tubal Road with grenades if they can't see it. Tubal Road must not be allowed to get close to the yard we are defending!"
"There are also Tubal Road's grenade launchers. The threat is too great. Order the artillery to kill them, otherwise we will be killed by Tubal Road!"
More than a dozen grenades exploded around the wounded barracks. Even if these grenades were thrown blindly by the Japanese, there were still five or six soldiers from the guard company who were caught off guard and were blown over.
However, the Japs throwing grenades also told the guard company that they could use grenades.
The twenty remaining grenades, plus the twenty-odd grenades that had just been seized from the Japanese guard post, were emitting white smoke, drawing arcs, and smashed into the Japanese wounded barracks!
Because many grenades and grenades exploded near the courtyard wall.
The violent explosion killed most of the wounded soldiers lying on the wall in one stroke.
You know, without the light and heavy machine guns and the security posts, these wounded soldiers who can still shoot have become the only ones the squad leader can rely on.
Now that these wounded soldiers are gone, it means that the last line of defense of the wounded soldiers camp is gone!
Before the stunned squad leader had time to react, the guard company outside the yard could no longer hold back and rushed towards them.
The four machine gun positions located outside the yard were first occupied by the guard company.
After it was over, the guard company with limited strength did not continue to rush forward, but fired at the wounded barracks with a crooked gun.
The condescending bullets could easily cover the entire yard.
Three crooked guns and one Type 92 fired continuously for half a minute. After no more gunshots were heard in the yard, the four machine guns stopped.
However, the dark hole still faced the yard, and as long as there was any movement, a shuttle would come up.
When a platoon entered the courtyard, there were more than sixty Japanese including wounded soldiers. Except for a few wounded soldiers who were still alive in the corner, the rest were beaten into a hornet's nest, including the Japanese squad leader!
"What are you doing in a daze? After you vomit, clean the battlefield for me. Not a single bullet can be left for the Japanese!" I saw many recruits squatting with pale faces vomiting around the courtyard wall because it was their first time to see such a tragic scene.
.Wang Ping, whose face was not very pretty, ordered with a calm face!
After taking down the Japanese wounded barracks, so many weapons were seized. Although the specific number of weapons and ammunition has not yet been calculated, just looking at the machine guns seized outside, it is clear that the gains are huge.
This was originally a very happy thing. A row of dozens of soldiers who had recovered from their fatigue were also very happy at this time. Everyone had a smile on their face, and some soldiers even had three or four rifles on their shoulders!
In this happy atmosphere, only one person was unhappy, and that was Wang Ping.
According to his plan, by using night cover and terrain cover to defeat the ghosts one by one, he should be able to capture the Japanese wounded camp at a very small cost. However, after all the calculations, Wang Ping was the only one who failed to count the Japanese wounded soldiers.
Dozens of grenades were thrown out continuously by more than twenty wounded Japanese soldiers. Although they had no target, three grenades still hit the middle of the attacking troops of the guard company.
Thirteen soldiers from the guard company died on the battlefield at the last moment, accounting for almost more than half of all casualties tonight.
Casualties that could have been avoided have now occurred. As the commander of the guard company and the direct commander of this attack, Wang Ping must be very unhappy, and he also regrets why he didn't think more about it at the time!
At this moment, Zhang Qing suddenly rushed over and reported with a look of surprise: "We've made a fortune, company commander, we've made a fortune! Guess what we found in the inner courtyard?"
Wang Ping stared at Zhang Qing without saying a word, but there was an expression of interest on his face, and he was also thinking about what could excite Zhang Qing more than mortars and heavy machine guns.
Wang Ping didn't let Wang Ping wait for long before Zhang Qing replied: "It's medicine, medicine more expensive than gold! There are also silver dollars and gold, worth at least more than a thousand silver dollars!"
"Medicine!" Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted!
Because he often stayed at the headquarters, Wang Ping heard Yang Chengwu worry more than once that there was no medicine in the field hospital.
Especially after a large number of wounded people appeared in this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, Yang Chengwu became even more worried.
If Wang Ping remembered correctly, the field hospital had run out of Western medicine two days ago and began to use Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine.
In terms of effectiveness, Chinese medicine is definitely not as fast as Western medicine. As soon as Western medicine runs out, seriously injured people cannot survive and die.
It can be said that whoever can find medicines for the commander now will probably agree if he asks the commander to kneel down for him. This shows the importance of medicines to the Eighth Route Army.
As for silver dollars and gold, their value is about the same as that of medicines.
In the absence of taxation, the Eighth Route Army had to calculate and calculate every silver dollar it spent, wishing it could be broken into several pieces to spend. After all, the Eighth Route Army's food, military uniforms, and even weapons and ammunition all require money.
Without money, the Eighth Route Army would starve to the point of collapse just from food alone!
