Early in the morning, Second Lieutenant Xiaolin, the leader of the Japanese combat team responsible for the safety of Guangtouling Coal Mine, assembled more than 100 escorts and the Imperial Army.
After leaving half of the Imperial Army and the mine protection team to urge the absentees to continue mining coal, he led his remaining more than seventy subordinates, armed with one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns, and stormed out of the Bald Ridge Coal Mine.
What Lieutenant Xiao Lin didn't expect was that Wang Ping directly led his team to ambush in the woods less than 500 meters away from the coal mine. Directly opposite the woods was Xiao Lin's only way out of the mountain to sweep up.
After special reinforcement, a total of ten light machine guns and one heavy machine gun were ambushed in the woods, with their muzzles pointed at the mountain road.
More than a hundred soldiers, some with nervous faces and some with excited faces, were scattered among the machine gunners, holding rifles and staring at the mountain road.
"Director, the Japanese and puppet troops are here. There are more than seventy people, led by the Imperial Army, a dozen Japanese in the middle, and the mine protection team at the back, bringing three machine guns and one heavy machine gun!" The squad leader from the independent regiment's reconnaissance platoon
, has now been appointed as the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the reinforced battalion. He reported as soon as he rushed to Wang Ping.
"Go back to your position and prepare to fight!"
"Give me the heavy machine gun to shoot at the Japs in the middle of the team! Try to kill them with one shot without giving them a chance to counterattack!"
"The other machine guns will attack the Japanese mine protection team first, and finally the Imperial Association Army. If the Imperial Army Army can force them to surrender, they will surrender. Do I want them to be useful?"
More than seventy Japanese and puppet troops, under the command of Xiao Lin, rushed straight into the ambush circle prepared by Wang Ping.
Wang Ping personally picked up a rifle and put Xiao Lin, the only one among the Japanese and puppet troops wearing a second lieutenant uniform, into the rifle's sight.
"Director, all the Japanese and puppet troops have entered the ambush circle!" the guard next to him reminded in a low voice.
"Bang!" Wang Ping decisively pulled the trigger.
The gunfire rang out, and Second Lieutenant Xiaolin fell to the ground. Until he died, his face still showed the excitement of having just given the order to raid.
"Shoot, kill them!" Wang Ping shouted loudly as he pulled the bolt of the gun and prepared to continue shooting.
"Da da da..." A heavy machine gun, ten light machine guns, and more than a hundred rifles opened fire immediately. The dense bullets were like rain, instantly killing the Japanese soldiers and about thirty mine protection teams in the middle of the team.
Covered.
In an instant, more than forty Japanese were killed and more than half were injured.
Without exception, these Japanese who fell on the ground had several bloody holes in their bodies.
The remaining dozen or so Japanese soldiers subconsciously lay down on the ground to avoid Wang Ping's first round of shooting.
However, just when they raised their rifles and tried to fight back in fear, they were enveloped in bullets flying from high above.
Even if there were only a dozen or so Japs left lying on the ground, the bullets would still drill out bloody flowers on their backs.
In less than twenty seconds, more than forty Japs disappeared under the wild fire of eleven light and heavy machine guns. At least half of the Japs died before they even got the rifles on their backs.
"Charge and force the remaining Imperial Army to surrender!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
"Comrades, charge!" Hong Tao, the commander of the first company, raised the Mauser pistol in his hand and rushed towards the mountain road.
More than a hundred soldiers, whether new or veterans, all rushed forward with their eyes shining brightly.
No one expected that the battle would end so quickly and so smoothly.
Dozens of well-equipped Japanese soldiers were gone in the blink of an eye. The remaining Imperial Army troops were like headless flies, scurrying around on the mountain road with frightened expressions on their faces.
Everyone knew that this was the best opportunity to capture prisoners and perform meritorious service, so as soon as Hong Tao charged, the remaining soldiers were like hungry wolves smelling blood, each one rushing faster than the other.
"Hand in the gun and don't kill!"
"I surrender! Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I surrender, don't shoot!"
The 22 Japs who were still alive didn't even have the courage to resist. They threw their guns on the ground and knelt on the ground, becoming prisoners.
"Guard platoon, put on the uniforms of the Japanese and the mine protection team, take a few prisoners of the Imperial Association Army, and follow me to attack the coal mine!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
"Others chased after them and opened fire, with a hunting attitude. As long as someone rushes into the coal mine, we will win!"
The gunfire suddenly rang out, and it was so close, making the coal mine defenders, who had not been attacked for a long time, suddenly feel uneasy.
Soon, this uneasiness turned into worry.
Thirty or forty imperial troops, mine protection teams, and imperial auxiliary troops rushed towards the gate of the coal mine like bereaved dogs with embarrassed faces.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Behind them, hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers were chasing after them, shooting at the same time.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, people from the retreating imperial army in front kept falling to the ground.
"Everyone enter the position and be on guard! Send a signal to the county and ask for reinforcements!" The deputy captain of the mine protection team who stayed behind at the mine cursed loudly in fear.
The captain of the Royal Association Army's garrison also looked nervous and began to tremble when he spoke. He quickly called his subordinates to enter the position.
"They are our people. The one who rushed to the front was one of my platoon leaders. Sir, the mopping up force must have been ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army outside. We should open the gate immediately and let them in. With the firepower of the mine,
To hold on.”
Only a dozen of the more than 30 Imperial Army soldiers came back, and the captain of the Imperial Army was more heartbroken than anyone else.
I was deeply afraid that the remaining dozen people would also die outside, so I almost begged to the deputy captain of the mine protection team beside me.
Because the Imperial Alliance Army was at the front, the captain of the mine protection team could not see clearly the dozen or so men who were at the end. But facing the Eighth Route Army, which was getting closer and closer, he knew that there was not much time left for the outside troops, and he
It must be decided immediately whether to open the door and let them in. Otherwise, if a few machine guns are fired down, dozens of people will be dead.
But being cautious, he still confirmed at the last moment: "Make sure it's our people outside, not Tubalu pretending to be one!"
"I'm sure!" the captain replied anxiously.
"Open the door and let them in. Be prepared for battle. The machine guns must block the Eighth Route Army pursuers behind!" The deputy captain finally gave the order to open the door.
More than a dozen Imperial Army soldiers rushed faster, and when they were about to rush into the mine, the deputy captain of the mine protection team, who had been frowning, finally saw clearly the team member running at the back.
Because there are not many people in the mine protection team, and they have been together day and night for nearly half a year, even if the deputy captain cannot call each subordinate by name, he can still recognize whether the other person is one of his subordinates at a glance.
Therefore, the vice-captain's face, which had been frowning just now, was suddenly shrouded in a look of deep horror.
Then he shouted loudly: "Bageya Road, they are not our own, we have been fooled!"
"Machine gunner, shoot immediately and kill them. They are the Eighth Route Army pretending to be the enemy."
At this time, the dozen or so Imperial Army soldiers who were rushing to the front had already reached the machine gun cover. Seeing that the Japanese had noticed, they directly took out the Mauser pistols inserted in their waists and started firing at the Japanese machine gunners on the machine gun position.
"Bah, bang, bang!" gunshots rang out, and the seven or eight Japanese soldiers on the position were instantly beaten into a hornet's nest.
A few guard platoon soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Association Army attacked the machine gun cover, and the remaining seven or eight soldiers continued to rush forward with their pistols raised. As long as the Japanese and puppet soldiers appeared in front of them, they would shoot a few bullets with their hands raised.
Soon, more than half of the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the mine gate suffered casualties.
