The gunfire from Odamura hadn't stopped yet, and the expression on the lieutenant's face slowly changed from the anxious one at the beginning to calmness.
"Speed up, the maintenance group has not been captured by the enemy yet. As long as we block their retreat, we can kill them!" The lieutenant and his men walked forward on two legs.
Although he was a little out of breath, he kept urging his subordinates to hurry up and get on their way.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Odamura's blurry shadow could already be seen, and the squadron leader's face became more and more fanatical.
A string of machine gun fire suddenly sounded from the mountain ridge next to the highway, which was very intensive.
"Baga, we've been fooled!" The lieutenant, who had a arrogant expression just now, turned pale in an instant and shouted loudly.
As a veteran, the lieutenant could confirm through his ears that the firepower ambushing him from the side would consist of at least one heavy machine gun and six light machine guns.
When he subconsciously lay on the ground and called for his subordinates to fight back.
Large areas of the Japanese soldiers walking in front of him had fallen to the ground. Many of them had multiple bloody holes in their bodies, and bright red blood kept pouring out from the muzzles of their guns. This was especially special!
The only thing that made the lieutenant happy was that there were still many people alive on the road.
Suppressed by the bullets flying above his head, he crawled behind the dead soldiers, then put the rifle in his hand and placed it on the corpse, preparing to fight back.
"The machine gunner fires immediately, counterattack!" Caught off guard, the lieutenant did not think of retreating. He raised his pistol and fired a few bullets at the mountain ridge before shouting an order.
"Da da da..." As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet flew over.
The veteran's subconscious reaction caused him to quickly retract his head, saving his life.
But the rifleman next to him was not so lucky. Even though he was hiding behind a corpse, the bullets flying down from above still penetrated his body from the back, killing him instantly.
"Bang!" At the same time, a particularly inconspicuous rifle sound rang out.
The machine gunner who had just set up his machine gun not far away was shot in the head by a bullet before he had time to react, cutting off half of his head.
"The enemy has a sharpshooter!" A sergeant nearby shouted loudly.
The lieutenant finally calmed down. Just a few seconds after he gave the order to counterattack, several more of his subordinates were killed.
"Who can tell me who the enemy is and why he has such powerful firepower? Break out immediately and retreat, return to the stronghold. The enemy wants to surround the point for reinforcements and eat us!"
There were less than fifteen Japs left on the road. Under the heavy attack of flying bullets, they finally failed to escape the encirclement.
"All the Second Company will put on Japs and puppet army uniforms and attack the Japs stronghold in Tiantang Town the old way!" Looking at the corpses scattered on the road, Wang Ping only frowned and ordered loudly.
After the lieutenant led his troops to leave the Japanese stronghold in Tiantang Town, the second lieutenant who stayed behind immediately ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance to prevent accidents.
Because the imperial army had gone out, many important positions that were supposed to be defended by the imperial army had to be occupied by the puppet army at this time.
"Sir, someone is rushing over on the highway!" Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded from the top of the turret.
"Bang bang bang...bang bang bang~" Immediately afterwards, a series of messy gunshots rang out on the highway.
Spurred by the gunfire, the dozens of people rushing towards the stronghold ran faster.
"It's the captain and the others!" Because they were still far away from the stronghold, and under the cover of night, the Japanese on the turret couldn't identify themselves. They could only hold up their rifles, stare at each other with vigilance, and then watch them rush towards the stronghold.
Come here. It wasn't until thirty or forty meters away that the puppet company commander standing next to the second lieutenant made a judgment.
"I know the people at the front. They are the platoon that was just sent out. The other platoon is long inside!"
"Are you sure? Where's the captain? Ask them right away! Find out what's going on with the gunshots behind you!" The second lieutenant did not relax his vigilance. His right hand was always on the handle of the knife, ready to direct those next to him at any time.
Machine gunner shoots.
The company commander tried his best to shout out the second lieutenant's question just now.
Soon there was a response from the other party, and it was the voice of a platoon leader under his command.
"Company Commander, we were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses. The captain was injured. The Eighth Route Army is chasing us from behind. Let Taijun let us in quickly, otherwise we will definitely be killed by the Eighth Route Army outside!"
The company commander's expression changed, and he immediately told the second lieutenant what he heard, and then said with great certainty: "Sir, I guarantee, they must be our own!"
"If the Eighth Route Army wants to take the opportunity to attack us, every soldier outside is very important for us to defend the stronghold, and there are more than a dozen Taijun outside!"
The squad leader's right hand that was tightly gripping the handle of the knife finally loosened his grip, because he did see a dozen Japanese protectors and a wounded man walking at the end.
Behind these people, gunshots kept ringing out.
After every few gunshots, there must be an Imperial Army or Imperial Alliance Army member in the rear falling down on the road.
"Open the gate of the stronghold and let them in! Others are ready to fight. As soon as the Eighth Route Army appears, shoot and stop them!" the second lieutenant finally made a decision.
"Going in!" Wang Ping led the main force behind the so-called Japanese and puppet troops. When he saw people pouring into the stronghold, Wang Ping's clenched fists suddenly loosened and he said with a long sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered the others around him: "As soon as the gunshots are fired inside the stronghold, we will rush over and occupy the stronghold!"
The battle was already over when Wang Ping entered the stronghold. A dozen Japanese soldiers who stayed behind were killed in just the first round of close-range firefights.
The remaining puppet troops, except for a few hardcore traitors who were killed, were all taken as prisoners.
Seeing forty or fifty prisoners squatting in the middle of the stronghold while being watched by the soldiers, more soldiers moved out a large amount of captured food and equipment and piled them in the middle of the stronghold.
"Captain, all the Japs have been killed, and the troops are cleaning the battlefield." Xiao Yunshan rushed over to report as soon as he saw Wang Ping.
"How is the morale of the soldiers? Do they still have physical strength?" Wang Ping nodded and asked directly.
"The morale is very high. As for physical strength, there is nothing to say. Another long-distance attack will not be a problem!" Xiao Yunshan immediately realized that there was another battle waiting for him, and answered with a flash of light.
Wang Ping walked directly into the Japanese squad leader's room. After glancing at the map still hanging on the wall, he pointed at the two points above and ordered: "These two villages have maintenance committees and traitor armed forces. You bring two men with you."
The company brought me these two maintenance groups, and then quickly retreated to this valley and took away all the captured things that could be taken away. I'll wait for you there!"
"By the way, Instructor Wang will stay and immediately mobilize the prisoners, do some ideological work on them, and encourage them to join the Eighth Route Army."
"We will take away those who are willing to join. Those who are unwilling to join and have no lives in their hands will be sent out of the town directly. As for the traitors who have lives, the old rule is to kill them directly in front of all the prisoners!"
"The rest of the company, clean up the battlefield immediately and prepare to retreat!"
