Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth golden cicada escapes
The four platoon leaders simultaneously chose to put the enemy into the fight.
The two platoon commanders with heavy machine guns were even more daring and directly arranged two pocket formations for the Japanese on the defensive position.
After gunshots rang out from four directions, Major Ida who was watching the battle outside was frightened.
Light and heavy machine guns and rifles fired at the same time, and they all shot at the imperial soldiers in the middle of the attacking troops.
There were 16 imperial troops in each combat unit, and more than half of them were killed and injured by unexpected bullets before they had time to react.
The two platoons with heavy machine guns were even more ruthless. After the heavy machine gun bullets' powerful penetrating power killed a Japanese soldier at close range, the bullets did not stop on his body, but made a bloody hole and continued to fly behind. Many bullets directly passed through
It took a double act from the Japanese and puppet troops to stop on the second Japanese body.
"Baga, isn't there only more than a hundred people in the new regiment surrounded by us? How can it have such powerful firepower? It's more powerful than a battalion of other Eighth Route Army troops!" The frightened Major Ida stared at a pair of big guns.
Eyes, shouted with disbelief.
"Captain, this may be the reason why the new regiment has the courage to hold on to Shimiao Town and fight us to the end!" the squadron leader explained.
Major Ida was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and finally sneered: "Even if they have strong firepower, if they are exposed so early, wouldn't they serve as targets for our artillery and grenadier soldiers?"
"Today I will use my strength to tell the new group that strong firepower may not necessarily win the battle."
"If tactics and tactics are not used properly, no matter how powerful the weapon is in their hands, it will be a pile of scrap metal and will have no effect."
"Order the attacking troops to retreat immediately. Each of the three squadrons will dispatch a reinforcement team to continue the attack on Shimiao Town!"
"Use all the strengthened heavy machine guns and mortars of each squadron to suppress and kill the light and heavy machine guns equipped by the new regiment, and cover the attack of the troops!"
There were more than sixty Japs from four directions. If Major Ida had not issued the retreat order in time, they would have been completely wiped out.
But even so, only a dozen or so Japs were withdrawn in the end, less than one detachment, and a whole squad of Japs were killed.
More than 90 Imperial Association troops were also killed, especially those attacking two platoons. Because they got into the pocket formation prepared for them, more than 20 people from each platoon were taken prisoner.
, and all the rest were killed.
On the other hand, for the four combat platoons, because they killed most of the Japs at the first opportunity, the bullets fired by the remaining Imperial Alliance Army had almost no accuracy, so not a single soldier from the four platoons died.
When everyone in the new regiment was smiling because of their victory in the first battle, Wang Ping's face surprisingly showed no change and remained as serious as ever.
Yes, it is serious.
Holding the telescope, he stared at the dark battlefield outside the town.
"Comrades, comrades won the battle, why don't you seem happy?" Xiong Changhe couldn't help but ask.
"No, you are wrong, I am very happy!" Wang Ping continued to stare ahead with his telescope.
"I'm waiting for the Japs' reaction. If the Japs continue to attack, then we will definitely be able to successfully break out tonight. If they don't plan to continue fighting, then if they want to break out tonight, they will have to waste more energy!"
From the moment the regiment leader decided to guard Shimiao Town, many of his words gave Xiong Changhe an inexplicable feeling.
The same was true for the sentence in front of him. But he did not express the doubt in his heart.
At this moment, Wang Ping's serious face finally showed some movement.
A smile suddenly flashed across Wang Ping's face, and then Xiong Changhe heard the excited voice of the group leader.
"The Japs have begun to attack again. This time they have spent a lot of money. There is an infantry squad of Japs in each direction and a company of Imperial Army soldiers. Their strength is four times that of ours. The Japs really think highly of us!"
"There are fewer Japanese and puppet troops in the north!" Xiong Changhe suddenly reminded.
"They only have devils, not puppet troops..."
Not only did Wang Ping's face show no trace of nervousness, but he looked excited.
"Well, the more, the better. I'm worried that they won't attack?"
"Give me the order: One company, one platoon, two companies, one platoon. Hold on for five minutes and then retreat to the second line of defense."
"The second line of defense held out for ten minutes and then continued to retreat into the gun tower, allowing the two Japanese attacking forces to meet inside the stronghold. I prepared a big gift for the Japanese at the stronghold, which will definitely surprise the Japanese!"
"Other troops are not allowed to take a step back without my order."
The attack began soon. Under the joint attack of Japanese grenades, mortars, and heavy machine guns, the new regiment finally began to suffer casualties.
Light and heavy machine guns continued to misfire in the explosions.
"Yoshi, order the artillerymen and grenade launchers to continue firing and kill the light and heavy machine guns on Tubal Road!" After seeing the results of the attacking troops, Major Ida was very satisfied with the results and ordered with excitement on his face.
"Captain, the Eighth Route Army in the east has retreated!" Suddenly, an excited cry reached Ida's ears.
After the four light and heavy machine guns on the east side each misfired, the new group guarding the entrance of the town finally couldn't hold it any longer and began to retreat like a bereaved dog.
"Let the attacking troops follow up, fight all the way to the stronghold, and reoccupy the stronghold!" Major Ida made a decision immediately!
Then he did not forget to add: "The same goes for other offensive troops. After breaking through the outer defense line of the new regiment, kill them towards the stronghold and occupy the stronghold!"
"The stronghold is the commanding heights of the entire town. By occupying the stronghold and taking down the gun towers, we can attack from both sides and kill the remaining Tubal Roads in the town!"
The Japanese were crazy, attacking closely behind the first platoon and not giving the first platoon any time to breathe. They planned to pursue the victory and fight all the way to the stronghold.
Wang Ping, who was following the platoon, immediately ordered: "The Japanese are following too closely. Give them a few grenades to stop them from following so closely!"
After finally retreating from the second line of defense, the crazy Japanese and puppet troops came over again.
Seeing that the stronghold was right in front of him, and there were constant gunshots from the other direction of the stronghold, Wang Ping continued to order: "Everyone throw grenades and grenades back to block the enemy's view!"
More than 20 grenades and hand grenades exploded together in the narrow street. The thick smoke was like a wall, suddenly lying in front of the Japanese and puppet troops, blocking their view.
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he ordered decisively: "Everyone go into the yard next to you, hurry up, don't let the Japanese pursuers behind see you!"
Although the more than twenty subordinates looked puzzled, they still hid in the open houses and yards on both sides of the street under the leadership of a few soldiers from the direct squad.
Xiong Changhe, who was following Wang Ping, suddenly had four words in his mind: "The golden cicada escapes from its shell!"
