"Captain, the Japs are catching up. There are only two infantry squadrons, one battalion of the Imperial Association Army, three heavy machine guns, and three mortars!" the reconnaissance platoon leader reported after catching up with Wang Ping.
"The remaining Japanese and puppet troops must be chasing the Jinsui Army! Stop and the troops will deploy on the spot to block the Japanese army and buy time for the first company!" Wang Ping reacted quickly and decided immediately.
After dozens of Japanese and puppet troops came into range, Wang Ping decisively ordered his troops to shoot.
"Click, click, click... bang, bang, bang..." In an instant, the dense bullets fired in front of them turned them into a hornet's nest.
The Japs following behind looked horrified and shouted: "Baga, there is the Eighth Route Army in front. Covered by machine guns and mortars, the infantry is ready to attack!"
"These people must be the rear troops left behind by the Eighth Route Army. We must kill them immediately and continue the pursuit."
The Japanese attack was very fierce, with no regard for casualties.
After all, there are too many recruits in the guard regiment, but they have never experienced a real bloody battle. Faced with death and fear so close at hand, and smelling the thick smell of blood in the air, many soldiers can't help but feel nervous and afraid.
became trembling.
"Yo Xi, Tubal Road is about to lose its hold, continue the attack and kill them!" The Japanese captain who was directing the battle saw the shortcomings of the security regiment at a glance, his eyes were shining brightly, and he seized the opportunity and shouted.
Looking at the Japanese and puppet troops getting closer and closer in front of him, Wang Ping's face was very solemn.
To be honest, the reaction of the troops was a bit beyond Wang Ping's expectations. Although he had long thought that these troops composed of mostly new recruits might cause trouble on the battlefield, he did not expect that these troops would be so vulnerable.
As soon as the Japanese went crazy, they were directly suppressed and couldn't lift their heads. What's more, they lost the courage to continue fighting directly because of fear.
"Captain, the Japs are attacking too fiercely, regardless of casualties. If this continues, we will definitely not be able to withstand it, and both companies will be finished!" Hong Tao, the commander of the first battalion, shouted very worriedly.
"There are still too many new recruits in the army, and they are all experiencing such a tragic battle for the first time!" Wang Ping said helplessly.
Seeing the flash of self-blame on Hong Tao's face, Wang Ping continued: "However, it's pretty good to be able to fight like this!"
"If you want to blame, blame me. We knew that there were many new recruits in the army but decided to engage in positional warfare with the Japanese. This immediately exposed our disadvantage to the Japanese."
After saying that, Wang Ping began to give orders: "The guards platoon go to the back and lay mines, hurry up!"
"The others continue to insist that we will retreat as long as we repulse this Japanese attack. Instead of fighting positional warfare with the Japanese, we will fight mobile warfare. We will use mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare to slow down the Japanese pursuit and buy time for the first company."
In the end, the two companies abandoned the bodies of nearly a hundred soldiers and withdrew from the battlefield.
The next battle will be much easier. Mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare are the specialty skills of the Eighth Route Army.
Although the casualties caused to the Japanese and puppet troops were not very large, the piecemeal fighting made the Japanese troops very tired, unable to defend themselves, and unable to speed up their pursuit.
However, for Wang Ping, there is a problem with fighting like this.
Because there was no way to completely block the Japanese and puppet troops, a distance of three kilometers was always maintained between the Japanese and puppet pursuers and the first company.
In the meantime, if something unexpected happens, the Japanese will surely catch up with him.
"Papa ... Da Da ..." Wang Ping was worried about what he would come.
A burst of gunshots suddenly rang out in front, faintly reaching Wang Ping's ears.
And once the gunshots started ringing out, they continued intermittently with no intention of stopping.
"There must have been a series of accidents!" Wang Ping shouted with a frown.
Then without a word of nonsense, he directly ordered: "The guard platoon is coming with me to reinforce the first company. Lao Hong, you stay here to hold off the Japanese pursuers. The longer the delay, the better!"
"Asshole... why are there Japs here! Didn't the guerrillas say that the Japs just swept this area two days ago and they all retreated!" After killing a Japs who wanted to rush over with a pistol, the company commander shouted loudly.
The guerrilla leader standing next to the instructor replied with an aggrieved look on his face: "Company Commander Zhou, it's our fault for not investigating the enemy's situation clearly!"
"But we are sure that the Japanese who raided this place two days ago did retreat!"
Having said this, the guerrilla leader suddenly thought of something, and then he shouted with a look of realization: "I understand, it must be the little devil who learned that wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers were hidden in several nearby villages, and planned to kill us before he could turn around. This must be the case!"
Because it was an accident, the company commander looked much better.
He frowned and began to give orders: "The troops are deployed on the spot, prepare to block the attack, and protect the supplies!"
"As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Antong on the side shouted: "Especially the chemical raw materials in the supplies must be protected and must not touch Mars. As long as they touch Mars, they will definitely be detonated!"
"You heard it all! Execute the order immediately!"
The continuous fighting was very brave, but the Japanese were not vegetarians either.
Because of their strong firepower, the Japanese attacked continuously from the beginning, constantly compressing the living space of the enemy.
At the beginning, troops were deployed to protect Ouyang Antong's company commander, but eventually an infantry squad that protected them had to be put into the battlefield.
Ouyang Antong and five or six mechanics also had to pick up the rifles of the fallen soldiers and fight.
At first, Ouyang Antong was very excited, but when she touched the temporary bunker piled up with copper ingots, she lost her excitement.
Several soldiers whose bodies were mangled with blood or flesh, or whose heads were directly blown, fell behind the bunker, and no one cleaned them up.
The soldiers who were still alive were lying next to these corpses and kept firing outside.
There were also a few recruits who hid behind the bunker with pale faces because of fear. Big beads of sweat kept coming out of their foreheads, and then they were trembling all over and lost the courage to continue fighting.
"Evil..." Smelling the strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke in the air, coupled with the bloody and panic scene in front of him, Ouyang Antong simply forgot about his vows before the battle, and started to feel sick and vomited while squatting behind the bunker!
The expression of anticipation on the battlefield disappeared instantly on his face and became very pale.
The first company commander was in no mood to take care of these people. The fierce Japanese attack had already caused more than half of the casualties to the first company, but the Japanese only lost one infantry squad.
As the fighting continued, the pressure on the company became increasingly greater, and signs began to show that it was unable to hold its position.
Ouyang Antong is indeed a strong woman. After a brief period of fear and vomiting, she just regained some energy and planned to join the battle.
Following the skills she learned during recruit training, she was just about to reveal her head from behind the bunker and raise her gun to aim and shoot when a startling cry suddenly reached her ears.
"Do you want to die? Being a target for the Japanese? That's not how the Japanese fight!"
