"Woooooooo..." Suddenly, the scream of a cannonball streaking across the sky sounded above their heads.
The captain's face suddenly changed, and he threw himself to the ground subconsciously, shouting loudly: "Baga, it's an artillery attack, reinforcements from Tubal Road are coming!"
"Boom, boom, boom..." Before he could finish his words, three explosions rang in his ears, and a ball of fire rose directly into the sky next to him. As a heat wave quickly swept through his body, the captain, whose face was full of shock and fear, directly
He lost consciousness.
Three mortars were set up less than a hundred meters away from the command post and fired. Needless to say, the shells were accurate and all hit the target accurately.
The shell exploded, and three tents were blown up immediately. Many of the Japanese in the tents were blown over before they could react.
As the mortars continued to fire, squad leader Zhang Guoding took action.
He jumped up from the ground, raised his submachine gun and fired at the chaotic Japanese and puppet troops dozens of meters away.
Several Japs who were caught off guard were killed at once, and then Zhang Guoding rushed towards the Japs headquarters with a submachine gun.
"Baga! Enemy attack! The machine gunners are in position, counterattack immediately and block the enemy!" The captain of the guard team who was lucky enough not to be killed shouted in horror.
"Add up the machine guns and get ready to shoot!" the sergeant commanding the team's two light machine guns loudly ordered.
"Bang...bang..." Just as the two machine gunners were lying next to the sergeant, one on the left and the other on the right, ready to fire, two dull rifle shots came over, and then the two machine gunners fell on the ground.
On the ground, two huge bloody holes were punched out of the head, and red and white brains splashed out like a fountain. It was very scary!
"Sniper!" This was the first thought that came to the sergeant's mind.
But he did not shout out, and continued to order: "Deputy shooter, continue shooting, and be sure to block the oncoming Tubal Road!"
"Bang bang..." At this time, a scene that frightened the sergeant appeared again.
As soon as the two deputy shooters lay on the ground and put the machine guns on their shoulders, two bullets drilled two bloody holes in their heads.
The sergeant subconsciously lay on the ground, fearing that his opponent's next target would be him. Then he shouted with a look of horror: "It's a sniper. There are snipers on Tubal Road!"
In the blink of an eye, several more Japanese who tried to get close to the machine guns were killed.
And without the firepower of machine guns, the Japanese armed only with rifles were suppressed by a detachment of light machine guns, submachine guns, and Mauser pistols. They had no chance to even raise their heads. They could only watch Zhang Guoding rush over at the lead, shooting back while charging.
.
Wang Ping and Captain Yi were more direct. After pretending to be Japs and wiping out the two sentries next to the artillery station, more than 30 people went directly to the Japs artillery station and lay down on the ground.
As soon as the gunfire from the direction of the headquarters rang out, everyone stood up from the ground with the Japanese gunners looking at them in shock, then picked up their submachine guns and pistols and started shooting.
"Bageya Road, they are enemies, how did they get to us!" The squadron leader who escaped the first round of fire shouted in disbelief when he saw the tragic scene that was close to massacre in front of him, his face was pale.
Then he reacted quickly and fled to the other side of the station with the guards.
"Retreat immediately. The enemy's firepower is too fierce and we have no self-defense weapons. This is simply a massacre!"
Captain Yi, who was following Wang Ping, also looked shocked.
He couldn't figure out why the Japanese, who were usually so powerful in combat, were so indifferent when they were in front of Wang Ping. They didn't even need their equipment and ran for their lives like a bereaved dog.
No matter how shocked Wang Ping was, the escape of the Japanese was exactly what Wang Ping wanted to see.
Without a word of nonsense, he shouted directly to Captain Yi: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Kill the Japanese! The first detachment stayed with me to set up cannons to blow up the Japanese and cover the new group's breakout. The second detachment, let me chase the Japanese and kill them.
You can kill as many as you can. But you can only chase them out for fifty meters. Once you reach fifty meters, pull back!"
In Gongli Village, Commander Zhang of the new regiment had abandoned the regiment headquarters just now and was with the troops, hiding behind a ruined wall less than fifty meters away from the Japanese encirclement, with a worried look on his face.
Although Brigadier Chen replied to him with a telegram to execute the order, the worry on his face did not disappear, but became more and more serious.
From beginning to end, he believed that breaking out from the south was unreliable.
There are both Japanese artillery and Japanese headquarters here, so it must be heavily defended. Breaking out from here means hitting the enemy's guns yourself, which is not much different from dying.
In this case, Commander Zhang was even prepared to suffer more than half of his troops' casualties.
At this moment, gunfire rang out from the direction of the Japanese military headquarters.
Although he is not optimistic about breaking out here, Captain Zhang is an old revolutionary after all, and he can still distinguish what is important and what is important.
He frowned and began to give orders: "Start the attack with the first company. Remember, they are just feinting, not a strong attack. Give me a leisurely attack, don't let me lose all the wealth of the New Regiment!"
"Bang bang bang...ta da da...Comrades, charge with me!" Machine guns and rifles suddenly started shooting. More than a hundred Eighth Route Army soldiers suddenly emerged from the ruins, carrying weapons
The gun was fired outside the village.
The Japanese and puppet troops blocking the new regiment had two lines of defense, a squadron of Japanese infantry and a battalion of the Imperial Alliance Army.
The sudden sound of gunfire from the headquarters and artillery station made the Japanese squadron leader realize that these two places were likely to be attacked, and then each dispatched more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops to reinforce these two places.
Despite this, the squadron leader still has a reinforced squad and more than 200 Imperial Army troops.
More importantly, the captain kept all the light and heavy machine guns he had strengthened.
Including the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Imperial Army, a total of four heavy machine guns and eight light machine guns were placed at the entrance of the village, facing the inside of the village.
This firepower configuration gave the squadron commander enough confidence to defend this place.
Therefore, facing the Eighth Route Army that suddenly started to break through, the squadron leader not only did not panic, but also looked excited.
"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army has broken through on our side. Warriors, it's time to make a contribution, shoot with machine guns and kill them all!"
"Click, click, click..." More than a dozen light and heavy machine guns fired at the same time. Even though the company was well prepared, dozens of people were caught off guard and died.
"I just said that this is the key defense direction of the Japanese army and we cannot break out in this direction. The brigade commander didn't believe it and had to listen to Wang Ping!" Captain Zhang, who was supervising the battle from behind, frowned and cursed without hesitation.
.
"He doesn't feel bad if it's not Wang Ping's soldiers. With such powerful firepower, our new regiment won't be able to get out even if we use them all!"
The political commissar also began to worry, but thinking of the brigade commander's order, he resolutely suppressed his inner worries and advised: "Lao Zhang, please stop saying a few words. Captain Wang asked them to feign an attack, but did not let us attack. As long as we don't attack, these firepower will
It has no effect on us!”
"Maybe this Wang Ping has some back-up plan that we don't know about!"
After saying that, without waiting for the commander to speak, he directly ordered: "Inform the first company commander to take your time and control the casualties. Just keep the pressure on the Japanese and think we are breaking through!"
Captain Zhang ordered with a stern face: "Why are you still standing there? Give the order as the political commissar wants!"
