Chapter five hundred and sixty first victory to conquer them
"Da da da... bang bang bang..." A burst of machine gun fire mixed with the sound of rifles sounded on the high ground. Lieutenant Jiujiang, who was still holding the command knife in his hand, looked at the bloody hole in his chest, even though his face was full of blood.
Unwilling to give in, he still fell heavily to the ground.
After the last Japs in the highlands were killed, the remaining dozen or so puppet troops became frightened and knelt on the ground to surrender to the new regiment.
"Immediately send a signal to the follow-up troops, quickly pass through the Japanese blockade, and go to the nearest fortress village from here. Battalion Commander Zhong, you will lead the team!"
"The first company suffered the most casualties, stay behind to clean the battlefield, and then retreat with your battalion commander with the prisoners!"
"Second Company, Third Company, replenish ammunition immediately, bring all the light and heavy machine guns that can still be used around, and follow me to fight against the Japanese reinforcements!"
The gunfire from the direction of the high ground stopped. The Japanese reinforcements did not know who would win and who would lose, but they still marched towards the battlefield in a hurry.
Because they were holding torches, Wang Ping could see them from a kilometer away.
"A small group of Japanese soldiers and two platoons of Imperial Army troops are standing in the sky!" Wang Ping immediately made a judgment, and two rays of light shot out from his eyes.
Both company commanders had solemn expressions on their faces.
In their long-standing impression, even when the New Regiment was at its peak, it would take two companies of troops to quickly kill these Japanese and puppet troops.
There are only two under-organized infantry companies here, and they are definitely no match.
However, Li Wen on the side had his eyes shining, and he shouted arrogantly: "Captain, this is fat meat delivered to your door!"
"They are indeed fat men who have arrived at our door. If we don't kill them, there will always be a tail following behind us that we can't get rid of. This is too dangerous for our new group, we must kill them!"
Then he started giving orders without waiting for the two company commanders to speak.
"We have eight light machine guns and one heavy machine gun, with more than twice the firepower of the little devils. Concentrate your firepower and kill them!"
In less than five minutes, the two companies left the mountain road and hid behind the bushes on the side of the mountain road under the cover of darkness.
Seeing the worried expressions of the two company commanders, Wang Ping did not explain.
In Wang Ping's view, no amount of explanations can be as valuable as winning a battle.
I have just joined the new regiment, and although I have already been recognized by everyone. However, if I want them to be familiar with and recognize my fighting style, it is definitely not something that can be done in one sentence or overnight. I must go through battles and win each battle.
Only then will they identify themselves and believe in themselves.
"Captain, the Japs are here. There is only one infantry squad and one platoon of puppet troops. The puppet troops are walking in front and the Japs are walking behind. They don't have heavy machine guns!" Li Wen touched Wang Ping's side like a ghost and reported, with a hint of sincerity.
A confident smile appeared on his face, telling the soldiers of the New Regiment around him that the New Regiment would definitely win the next ambush battle.
Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "Then it will be better to fight. To deal with the puppet army, the second company and one platoon will attack the leader officer first, and then the ordinary soldiers. For the others, concentrate their firepower on the Japanese behind, and try to kill more than half of them in one shot.
Devil!"
"Bang..." Wang Ping, holding a rifle, fired the first shot of the ambush battle.
The gunfire rang out, and a ball of blood burst out from the chest of the Japanese second lieutenant.
At the same time, Li Wen also fired, and a Japanese machine gunner not far away fell to the ground.
In an instant, gunshots like exploding beans began to sound around Wang Ping.
The Japanese who were in a hurry were caught off guard and more than twenty people were killed.
After Wang Ping and Li Wen fired their second bullets respectively, there was no longer a Japs standing on the mountain road.
However, the Japs who were still alive did not sit still and wait for death. They lay down on the ground, picked up their rifles and started to fight back. Some Japs climbed directly to the machine guns and planned to use the machine guns to fight back.
"Light and heavy machine guns, don't save bullets for me, hit hard and kill the remaining Japs! Others are ready to charge!"
Together with Li Wen, after shooting and killing two Japs machine gunners, seven or eight more Japs were shot to death indiscriminately.
The remaining ten or so Japs were afraid and knew that they were no match. They lay on the ground and retreated to the other side of the mountain road, trying to escape.
Wang Ping, who had already bitten the fat in his mouth, would certainly not let them run away again.
He squatted down directly from the ground, loaded the bullet, raised the rifle, took aim, and shot. After killing a Japanese who wanted to retreat, he gave a decisive order.
"Charge and kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops!"
The entire ambush battle, from start to finish, only lasted five minutes.
The two company commanders looked at the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield and escorting the prisoners in front of them. Each of them had a smile on their face, and they were holding a gun in their hands and a gun on their backs. They were stunned for half a minute before they reacted.
.
"Lao Yang, we killed more than fifty Japanese in just five minutes!" Xiao Yunshan, the second company commander, asked with a shocked look on his face.
"It's done, but more bullets were used! The light machine gun used up two magazines, the heavy machine gun used four or five bullet plates, and the riflemen each used nearly ten rounds of bullets. All added up to nearly
Fifteen hundred rounds of ammunition, this is too luxurious!" The third company commander also looked shocked, and then added with a worried look.
"Our new regiment has little financial resources. If we fight every battle like this, no matter how much ammunition we have, it will be completely consumed!"
"Old Yang, you are confused!" Xiao Yunshan obviously saw things more clearly than Yang Huping and retorted directly.
"Don't even look at how many weapons and ammunition we have seized!"
"More than fifty little Japs were killed by us with almost no shots fired. For Japs-like actions, each person only carries one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition. For military operations like this to reinforce friendly forces, each man will carry at least two hundred rounds.
Bullets, and that’s not counting the extra the machine gunners carry!”
"Including the extra bullets carried by the machine gunners, we have seized seven to eight thousand rounds from the Japanese alone, and this does not include the puppet troops!"
"Including them, not only did they replenish the more than a thousand rounds of ammunition that were used just now, but they also earned seven to eight thousand rounds of ammunition, dozens of rifles, and three light machine guns!"
“No matter from every aspect, this is a very good deal!”
"Now I have more and more admiration for our regiment leader. When we fight with him, we not only suffer less casualties, but also capture more. The most important thing is that we have won several battles. This is definitely not an accident."
"That's really what happened when you said it!" Yang Huping replied thoughtfully.
Because there were prisoners to help carry the wounded, Zhong Chenggong marched very quickly. When the ambush on Wang Ping's side started, he had already left the breach for nearly one kilometer along another mountain road.
Although he kept urging everyone to speed up, in his heart he was thinking about the regiment leader who was fighting the Japanese behind him.
