Chapter four hundred and fifty seventh tooth extraction
"Baga, we have been fooled, we are ambushed, everyone, retreat quickly! The machine gunners cover and shoot!" The Japanese officers scattered in the middle of the team reacted very quickly, and shouted the order in a flash.
With good organization and well-trained Japanese troops, the brief chaos quickly stabilized.
The surviving machine gunner subconsciously lay down on the ground, put the machine gun on the ground and prepared to fire. The rifleman was not to be outdone, raised his rifle and took aim.
The two regiments immediately began to suffer casualties, but at this moment, a scene appeared that plunged the Japanese into fear again.
More than two thousand grenades were thrown at them like rain.
"Bagya Road, it's a grenade, everyone take cover!" Before the officer's shout could spread, the sound of explosions rang in their ears.
Countless fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke soared into the sky around them.
Because there were too many grenades dropped, many grenades directly hit the enemy's back or landed next to them.
Even if they were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, a very close explosion would take away their lives in an instant.
Some Japanese who reacted quickly were lucky enough not to be killed. Then they subconsciously took out grenades and planned to use the same method to fight back.
However, as soon as he held the grenade in his hand and before he could throw it out, a second round of grenade rain followed.
The airtight bullet net above their heads, the grenades constantly falling around them, and the flying grenade fragments all killed the Japanese and puppet soldiers.
The small battlefield was full of shouts, screams, and explosions.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with the first three armored vehicles.
Relying on their rough skin and thick flesh, the three armored vehicles not only did not retreat after being attacked, but instead rushed towards the two regiments, preparing to show off their heroes.
The idea of the armored soldiers is very simple: rush to the Eighth Route Army ambush position, crush them all the way, defeat the Eighth Route Army with powerful firepower, and support the infantry to turn defeat into victory.
The idea is good, but the reality is very revealing.
The two infantry guns equipped by the guard regiment opened fire instantly.
The shooting distance was tens of meters, and it was a direct shot. It hardly required much aiming. The two shells made a big hole in the two armored vehicles, and then exploded inside the armored vehicles.
"Boom..." In the two violent explosions, the charging armored vehicle was directly blown to pieces, and then turned into two fireballs.
The remaining armored vehicle was frightened and started to reverse, ignoring the infantry following behind.
"Reload immediately, aim at the third armored vehicle together, and blow it up for me!" the infantry artillery platoon leader shouted with excitement.
"Boom boom..." Two explosions flew out of the gun barrel and exploded together. One hit the gun just in time, and the other hit the armored vehicle 40 to 50 meters behind and exploded.
The armored vehicle that retreated in a hurry immediately repeated the same mistake and turned into a ball of fire.
"This is the consequences of showing off, good job!" Captain Zhou of the Guard Regiment, who witnessed the Japanese's three armored vehicles being completely destroyed, shouted excitedly. At this time, the worried expression on his face was no longer visible.
Then he stared at Wang Ping beside him and asked: "Commander Wang, the more than two thousand puppet troops in front of us are finished. Sixty or seventy light and heavy machine guns, seven or eight thousand grenades, even if the Japanese are beaten with iron, they will be blown to pieces."
Meat. As long as we have ten more minutes, we will definitely annihilate them all!"
There was no smile on Wang Ping's face, and his eyes were not on the battlefield. Instead, he held up his binoculars and stared at the Japanese camp.
Seeing the station becoming more and more lively, with countless troops holding torches gathering, I frowned.
"Ten minutes is too long. Five minutes, whether the battle is over or not, we must retreat!"
"That means we don't have time to clean up the battlefield!" Captain Zhou was suddenly startled, and then asked subconsciously.
"I don't want any of these equipment!" Wang Ping replied firmly.
"It's important to save your life. The Japs' reinforcements are coming. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave. The troops are gone, and it's useless to need these equipment!"
Captain Zhou reacted immediately and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
No wonder the commander repeatedly told him before departure that he must listen to Commander Wang next to him on the battlefield.
Take this very risky ambush battle in front of you as an example. If it were up to you, you would never dare to fight it.
But Wang Pingdao was not only able to seize the opportunity and quickly deliver a fatal attack to the enemy. He was also able to stay rational when the battle was about to be won, give up so much loot, and retreat decisively without any hesitation!
If it were you, you would never be able to do this.
After sighing with emotion, he immediately ordered: "Notify the troops to retreat in five minutes. Don't save ammunition for me, use it hard. Use the last five minutes to eliminate more Japanese!"
When the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed, Major General Yoshino was furious.
After such a long period of offensive and fighting, the entire brigade has lost more than a thousand Imperial troops. Including the Imperial Alliance Army, 2,500 people will definitely be indispensable.
Although he held 15,000 elite troops, the actual fighting force was only 12,000 to 12,000. Although this loss did not reach the point of losing troops, it was enough to cause him heartache.
In this case, more than 2,000 Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army were ambushed.
If more than two thousand people are wiped out, then the four words "losing troops and losing generals" can be applied to himself. Therefore, as soon as the escort troops are attacked, Major General Yoshino's idea is to rescue them, and then destroy those who have the courage to do so.
The Eighth Route Army ambushed the Imperial Army right under their noses.
"General, across the way, the 3rd Infantry Brigade and the 4th Regiment of the Imperial Army have been assembled!" A Japanese major came over and reported in a hurry.
"Let's go immediately! The second squadron of the armored squadron is covering. The artillery is on standby to provide artillery support to the reinforcements at any time and kill the Eighth Route Army under our noses."
"Hi!"
As soon as the mighty two-thousand-day puppet army left their base, the gunfire from the direction of the ambush battlefield stopped.
An infantry lieutenant rushed over immediately: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is retreating. They are retreating very fast, and they have not even cleaned the battlefield. The reinforcements are asking for instructions: Do you want to pursue them?"
"Are you withdrawing now?" Major General Yoshino was stunned at first, but he quickly came to his senses and asked, staring at the lieutenant.
"How are the casualties of the escort troops? The ambush seems to have lasted less than ten minutes from the beginning to now!"
The chief of staff next to him immediately said: "Exactly seven minutes, General!"
"Heavy losses, almost all losses!" the lieutenant replied bravely.
"Impossible, the Eighth Route Army killed more than 2,000 of us in just seven minutes? Is there such a powerful Eighth Route Army in North China? Are you mistaken?" Major General Yoshino stared at the lieutenant with an expression of disbelief and asked.
