The battlefield was very lively with the roar of artillery.
But because most of the gunners had become monks on the way, they were not very accurate in their attacks. One round of artillery shells flying over could often destroy a Japanese car.
The Japanese vice-captain took advantage of the fact that most of the cars had not been destroyed yet, and under the cover of the cars, broke out all the way to the back.
After he broke out of the ambush under a hail of bullets, the number of his subordinates, which originally numbered only a dozen, expanded to nearly 150, including infantry, artillery, and even automobile troops.
As soon as the deputy captain led his troops to break through, the sound of gunfire on the ambush battlefield stopped immediately, and then he saw a group of Tubal soldiers carrying machine guns standing between him and the ambush circle.
At this time, the deputy captain suddenly reacted and exclaimed loudly: "No, we have been fooled!"
"We broke through just now, and no one from Tuba Road opened fire to intercept us. Now they stand behind us as soon as we break out, preventing us from going back. This is obviously because they are worried about our counterattack!"
The squadron leader next to him also had a thoughtful expression at this time, and then reminded with a look of regret: "Baga, I remembered, the firepower of the Tubal Road ambushing us was indeed very fierce, but there were not many people at all. Just now
During the battle, apart from the sound of machine gun fire and explosions, there was almost no sound of rifle fire!"
"If it is really the main force of Tubal Road, with their firepower configuration, they must have a lot of troops. We will never break out so easily!"
The artillery squad leader who was still alive couldn't help but cursed: "Tubal Road is really too cunning. The artillery strike just now seemed very fierce, but it was almost inaccurate. Just give me time, I only need two mountain cannons."
It can destroy all enemy artillery!"
The expression of the artillery squad leader changed and he continued: "However, my two mountain cannons and the shells were left in the ambush circle and were not brought out, otherwise I would definitely teach Tubal Road a big lesson!"
"We didn't even bring out our heavy machine guns!" a second lieutenant said immediately!
"The four mortars of the mortar squad have not been brought out, they are still in the car compartment!" Another squad leader said.
The deputy captain's face showed an expression of sudden realization, and then he said with great regret: "I understand, the one who ambushed us is definitely not the main force of Tubal Road. All the weapons they used were just after they captured us!"
"Our opponents are very smart. Even if they don't know how to use these weapons, they will bring them all out with one purpose: to scare us. And we fell for the trick and were so frightened that we broke through without even thinking about it!"
"As soon as we break through, we will be separated from the heavy weapons. After all, we can't break out with heavy weapons. Now we don't have heavy weapons, and the Eighth Route Army has heavy weapons. Even if we realize now that we have been fooled, there is nothing we can do!"
"I agree with the deputy captain's judgment!" A squadron leader immediately stood up and supported.
"If the imperial army were equipped with such heavy weapons to ambush our two squadrons, we wouldn't even have a chance to break out!"
A squad leader was dissatisfied and shouted: "Since Tubal Road doesn't have many troops, we can fight back, take back the heavy weapons, and then fight Tubal Road in a decisive battle to eliminate them in one fell swoop!"
"It's too late!" the deputy captain said with a helpless expression, pointing to the guard company that was digging fortifications a hundred meters away.
"I just counted, there are only forty or fifty people on Tubal Road blocking us, but they are equipped with two full heavy machine guns and five or six crooked handles. As for us, we don't have a single heavy machine gun and only crooked handles.
How can you beat them back if you bring out four?"
"There are also artillery. Although many of the Eighth Route Army's artillery were used indiscriminately in the battle just now, it does not mean that the Eighth Route Army does not have qualified artillery, otherwise they would not even fire artillery. If their artillery came up, we would not even have a chance to attack.
No, we have to continue to retreat! Keep retreating until they are within sight!"
"Could it be that we were defeated like this, without even seeing the enemy's shadow, and we also lost more than two hundred warriors?" Although what the deputy captain said is true, it is obviously very difficult to make a group of soldiers who have rarely suffered a defeat bow their heads.
A squadron leader looked at the deputy captain and asked with dissatisfaction!
The vice-captain shook his head and replied: "The Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan is invincible!"
"We can ask your Excellency, the commander of the unit, to send reinforcements. We are here to keep an eye on Tubal Road! Where is the radio station? Have you brought the radio station out?"
An adjutant lowered his head and replied: "The radio operator died as soon as the battle started, and the radio station was not brought out!"
"Baga, how could this happen! There is no radio, how can we contact the commander and ask for reinforcements!" the vice-captain cursed loudly.
After scolding, he decisively ordered: "Even if there are no reinforcements, we can't just admit defeat! There are not many people on Tubal Road, so it is certainly impossible for troops to defend everywhere. Go to the surrounding area to investigate immediately, and you will definitely find loopholes in Tubal Road's defense!"
"Hi!" Several unconvinced Japanese officers looked much better, and then they subconsciously prepared to give orders!
Wang Ping wanted to get what the Japs didn't expect, and Wang Ping definitely wanted to get what the Japs wanted.
Seeing that they stopped before retreating far, Wang Ping immediately understood that the Japanese must have known that he had been fooled.
Although he had placed many heavy weapons in front of them, with such a close attack range and the strong fighting power of the Japanese, no one knew whether there would be any surprises around them.
Even if there was no accident, the interception troops would suffer too many casualties under the Japanese counterattack, which was not what Wang Ping wanted to see.
At this moment, Wang Ping thought of a word, safe distance!
You must keep a safe enough distance between the Japanese and yourself so that you can safely clean the battlefield!
"Zhang Bing, bring all the mortars to me and blast them at the Japs. Blow them wherever there are many Japs."
In less than two minutes, four mortars and forty rounds of artillery shells were brought over.
Zhang Bing and Wang Ping each controlled two mortars. They quickly set up all four mortars, then gave up their positions to the gunner next to them, and ordered smoothly: "One gun has five rounds."
Shoot quickly, fire right away!"
"All, all, all..." Four dull cannon blasts sounded quickly in front of Wang Ping, and the scream of the shells streaking across the sky reached Wang Ping's ears.
As soon as Wang Ping's eyes turned to the Japs gathered a hundred meters away, four fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke erupted from the Japs group, and then four violent explosions reached Wang Ping's ears.
At a glance, at least twenty Japanese were caught off guard and blown up!
The sudden bombardment immediately disrupted the Japanese, but the bombardment did not stop.
Less than five seconds after the sound of artillery stopped, a new round of shells exploded in the middle of the Japanese group.
"Baga, we are being targeted by artillerymen from Tubal Road. Retreat and continue to retreat to the back!" The deputy captain who was the first to react shouted an order.
Once the Japanese retreated, the results achieved by the four mortars became smaller and smaller.
At this time, Zhang Bing and Wang Ping went into battle in person, each controlling a mortar, constantly adjusting the mortar's shooting angle, firing, then adjusting the shooting angle, and then firing again, driving the Japanese four to five hundred meters away.
It didn’t stop until it completely disappeared from sight!
