More than a dozen people were carrying guns and carrying cannons. They had just ran back less than thirty meters when three violent explosions sounded behind them.
Some people glanced back subconsciously, with expressions of fear on their faces.
The three artillery shells fired by the Japanese counterattack hit exactly where everyone fired. If they had retreated ten seconds later, they would have been killed here!
After leading everyone back another forty or fifty meters, Wang Ping immediately signaled everyone to stop.
At this time, the Japanese counterattack artillery fire also stopped!
Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he immediately suggested: "The artillery squad will stay hidden, and the others will fight back with me, and kill the Japanese with one carbine!"
"The Japanese wasted so many shells trying to destroy us. When the shelling is over, he must send someone to check the situation, otherwise he won't be able to sleep well!"
Because Wang Ping was less than a hundred meters away from the area covered by Japanese artillery fire, when they came back, the Japanese had not yet appeared here.
However, the bush where everyone was hiding has been blown into a mess!
"Just hide here. As soon as the Japanese search troops are covered by artillery fire, they will be completely exposed in front of us. When the time comes, two crooked guns and five rifles will shoot them at close range. They will definitely be killed!"
Two minutes later, a group of Japanese soldiers came into view!
More than 20 Japanese soldiers were holding two crooked weapons and the rest were carrying rifles, looking cautiously.
After seeing that there was nothing in the area covered by artillery fire, the Japanese team leader led the team and yelled curses at the surrounding area.
Although I don't know what he was scolding, I can guess that it must be the Eighth Route Army's cunning, hit-and-run, without any bushido spirit.
At this time, the other Japanese soldiers also relaxed obviously!
Since Tubal Road has retreated under the counterattack of artillery fire, there will definitely be no danger around.
"Shoot, kill these little Japs!" Wang Ping shouted loudly, holding a twenty-shot Mauser pistol in his hand, and then wanted to shoot a string of bullets at the Japs squad leader.
In an instant, two bloody holes appeared in the squad leader's chest, and then he fell to the ground in despair and unwillingness.
The three or four Japanese soldiers nearby were not spared, and were beaten into a hornet's nest by this string of bullets!
The two crooked guns next to Wang Ping stared at the Japanese machine gunners and fired!
Caught off guard, the Japanese with crooked arms didn't even have a chance to react and were beaten into a hornet's nest.
As soon as the Japanese machine gunner died, they immediately adjusted their guns and continued shooting at the Japanese infantry.
There were five riflemen left. In order to avoid hitting duplicate targets with the machine gunners, they specifically targeted the few Japanese riflemen who were on alert around them.
The shooting distance was tens of meters, and the Japanese were unprepared.
As soon as Wang Ping gave the order to shoot, the five Japanese soldiers around him fell down!
Then they quickly pulled the gun bolt, looking for a second chance to shoot!
To their disappointment, Wang Ping did not give them this opportunity!
Wang Ping used a twenty-shot Mauser pistol to kill the Japs squad leader and four riflemen on the spot! Two crooked pistols killed the Japs' chief and deputy machine gun shooters and two or three surrounding riflemen respectively!
Excluding the five Japs sentry posts shot by riflemen, only a handful of the more than twenty Japs were still alive, and suppressed by the firepower of two crooked guns, they didn't even have a chance to raise their heads!
At this time, Wang Ping was very jealous of the two crooked tricks the Japanese had thrown into the battlefield.
But I thought that there were still Japs alive on the battlefield, and a small group of Japs from the direction of the military camp were rushing over with murderous intent.
Wang Ping decisively gave up this unrealistic idea and ordered his troops to retreat back.
After the Japanese rushed over, looking at the corpses on the ground, they wanted to catch up with Wang Ping and cut him into pieces.
But after seeing the pitch-black battlefield around him, the Japanese leader suddenly became discouraged.
Before the attack, the team leader issued a strict order that the troops were not allowed to attack rashly before the enemy's situation was clear. In the end, the team leader could only carry nearly twenty corpses with him and retreated to the military camp with a look of unwillingness.
"Captain, the battle losses have been calculated! Three artillery shells fired into the barracks from Tubal Road killed 13 of our warriors and injured 4 warriors! 18 warriors of the attacking troops were killed and two warriors were seriously injured!" the deputy captain walked up to
The captain reported in a low voice next to him.
More than thirty people were lost without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. You can imagine the anger in the captain's heart.
After yelling at his subordinates and venting his anger, the captain issued a series of orders.
While requiring the troops to strengthen vigilance and deploy additional patrols, the artillery team was ordered to keep an artillery team in combat status at all times.
If the military camp is bombarded again, immediately use artillery fire to counterattack, and at the same time send out enough main force to counterattack, don't be killed by Tubal Road again!
You will definitely not suffer the same loss twice. This is the order given by the Japanese captain to the deputy captain.
After reuniting with the artillery squad, Wang Ping retreated more than a hundred meters before stopping.
Then more than a dozen members of the night attack team gathered around Wang Ping, as if they were on fire, venting their inner excitement, and then stared at Wang Ping with hot faces, expecting Wang Ping to lead everyone to continue to sneak attack on the Japanese army camp!
"Are you all fools for being Japanese? If you are fooled once, you will be fooled a second time!" Wang Ping shook his head and poured cold water on everyone!
"The night attack will definitely continue, but the method will be changed! Let's wait for an hour and then take action after an hour!"
Considering that the Japanese would focus on counterattacking the artillery squad, this time, Wang Ping only let the artillery squad fire two shells before retreating! As for killing the Japanese with a single counterattack, Wang Ping didn't even think about it.
In the end, Wang Ping's judgment was proved to be correct.
The artillery had just retreated less than twenty meters when an explosion rang out behind them!
The Japanese troops in the military camp also quickly began to fight back, but this time it was not more than twenty Japanese who came out, but a mixed team equipped with grenades, crooked handles, and heavy machine guns!
Faced with such a well-equipped team, Wang Ping was sure that no matter how he attacked them sneakily, he would be stuck by them as soon as he fired, and then the Japanese would destroy them bit by bit!
In the end, the Japanese troops returned without success, but the two shells fired by Wang Ping into the military camp still caused seventy-eight casualties to them!
The Japanese captain had no choice at this time. After all, the Tuba Road that attacked him was a few hundred meters away, and he could not find any trace of them.
After another nearly half an hour of tossing, the Japanese barracks returned to peace again.
However, Wang Ping dissipated and did not intend to let the Japanese have a good rest. He fired two shells every hour and then retreated. He did not evacuate the Japanese camp until dawn!
