After waiting for less than ten minutes, the heavy machine gun squadron and mortar squadron of the Japanese army came into Wang Ping's sight.
"Just beat them!" Wang Ping gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Xiao Yunshan next to him was stunned for a moment, almost not believing his ears!
"Captain, there are more than a hundred Japs here. You are not mistaken. There are only over fifty of us. On average, one person has to kill three Japs!"
Wang Ping only hesitated for a moment before confirming again: "No problem, just beat them!"
"They have almost no self-defense weapons. We have an absolute advantage in close-quarters raids!"
"First attack their heavy machine gun squadron, one machine gun staring at a machine gun group, and try to kill most of their troops in one shot!"
"Then launch a direct assault, from the heavy machine gun squadron to the artillery squadron, and kill them all the way. As long as we kill the heavy machine gun squadron, there will be no heavy machine guns to stop us, and the remaining artillerymen will only be slaughtered in front of us."
"Also, the Japanese are very tired now, and their reaction speed will definitely be a few seconds slower than usual. As long as we seize the opportunity, these few seconds will be enough for us to hit them hard!"
"That's it, let's keep up with them first, and then launch the attack when the distance between them and the main force is 500 meters!"
The firm look on Wang Ping's face dispelled Xiao Yunshan's worries and doubts, he frowned and began to execute the order.
Lieutenant Colonel Noda, who was riding on the war horse, couldn't bear the constant weariness. He closed his eyes and let the war horse lead him away. When he took the time to rest, the squadron leader behind him rushed over again.
"Sir, the artillery squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron are falling further and further behind. Do you want to leave a squadron to protect them?"
Lieutenant Colonel Noda suddenly opened his eyes, glared at the squadron leader, and refused without hesitation: "No!"
"The remnants of the new regiment are in front, how can there be danger behind!"
"Also, the new regiment has already had a precedent of annihilating one of our reinforced squadrons and two defensive squadrons by force. If we ambush, it will definitely not be a problem to wipe out our two squadrons. Some time ago, we suffered the loss of underestimating the enemy and dividing our troops.
The army only loses its soldiers and generals. Do you want to make the same problem again? Stupid pig!"
"Hi!" The squadron leader was scolded so hard that he could not refute a word.
"Da da da..." Suddenly, a burst of machine gun fire sounded behind them.
"It's the artillery squadron and the heavy machine gun squadron!" the squadron leader, who had lowered his head just now, immediately shouted.
"The new regiment must have split up their troops to ambush them after they found out they were falling behind!"
As soon as Lieutenant Colonel Noda jumped off his horse under the protection of the guards, the adjutant next to him analyzed in a serious tone: "Captain, the gunfire was very dense, there were at least seven or eight light machine guns. It must have been the main force of the new regiment that came behind us at some time.
"
Lieutenant Colonel Noda's face turned red. A minute ago, he had sworn to his subordinates that the laggard artillery would not be attacked.
Not even a minute passed before Xinyi Tuan slapped himself hard with his actions.
Of course, as an outstanding commander, Lieutenant Colonel Noda's calmness is definitely better than that of ordinary people.
He didn't care what his subordinates thought of him now, he laughed at himself, frowned and ordered: "What are you still doing? Change the rear guard to the vanguard, and immediately reinforce the artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron!"
"They only have a small amount of self-defense weapons, so they certainly won't be able to hold on for long!"
There is another sentence that Noda did not say: the firepower of the new regiment is too strong and very cunning. If he does not have heavy machine guns and mortars to provide him with strong fire support, even if he still has three infantry squadrons,
I have no confidence that I can beat the new group when I face them.
The ambush battle continued, and the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron stretching for dozens of meters was already covered with casualties.
They have always used the most violent firepower to attack the enemy. This is the first time that they have been hit by such fierce firepower.
Caught off guard, many Japanese were beaten into sieves before they even realized what they were doing.
Wang Ping did not give the Japanese even a little time to buffer and counterattack.
After the nine heavy machine guns of the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron fell on the road due to heavy casualties among the machine gunners, they decisively ordered: "Attack, with the machine gun in the head and the rifle behind, kill the Japanese heavy machine gun squadron!"
There are still twenty or thirty Japs alive on the road, but they are all machine gunners and are not equipped with rifles. Even the total number of pistols used for self-defense is only five or six.
Facing the oncoming Eighth Route Army, they subconsciously raised their pistols in an attempt to fight back.
However, it is too difficult for machine gunners like them to hit the target at a distance of tens of meters.
Many times, the pistol bullets they fired did not hit the opponent, but the opponent's oncoming machine gun bullets easily hit them.
In one round of fighting, a few Japs equipped with self-defense pistols were all finished.
"Heavy machine guns, only heavy machine guns can stop the Eighth Route Army's attack. Quick, drag a heavy machine gun over here!" A squad leader who was still alive shouted, his face full of panic.
As a fire support unit, they usually provide fire support several hundred meters away from the battlefield. They have rarely encountered such a tragic situation.
Not to mention that as soon as the battle began, most of the entire squadron suffered casualties and lost combat effectiveness in an instant.
"Da da da..." Several machine gunners immediately rushed toward the nearest machine gun. But as soon as they moved, a hail of bullets came at them.
The new group of machine gunners who were attacking were more or less staring at the heavy machine guns scattered on the road with their peripheral vision, preventing people from getting close to these big killers.
As soon as these Japs showed their intention to get close to the machine guns, they were targeted by two machine guns at the same time.
Dozens of bullets flew past, and the Japanese who had just jumped up from the ground were beaten into pieces before they even took a step forward!
"Baga, our heavy machine gun has been targeted by the Eighth Route Army, and we can't get past it!" a sergeant shouted, with a heartbroken look on his face.
You know, the machine gunners who were killed just now were all his own subordinates.
Once these people died, he became a polished commander.
"Retreat to the direction of the artillery squadron. They are equipped with self-defense rifles and will definitely be able to block the Eighth Route Army's attack! The Japanese team leader made a decisive decision."
Wang Ping, who launched the attack with his troops, never took his eyes off the road from beginning to end.
As soon as the twenty or so Japs moved, Wang Ping gave a loud order: "If the Japs want to run, follow them and attack the Japs artillery squadron directly!"
The artillery that followed closely behind the heavy machine gun squadron didn't get there either.
Although there was no attack, the formation became chaotic.
The battlefield was too close to them, and the stray bullets that flew over from time to time, even if they were not accurate, killed several Japanese artillerymen.
"Captain, it must be the main force of the new regiment attacking the heavy machine gun squadron. There are so many light machine guns, the heavy machine gun squadron can't hold on for too long!" The subordinates standing next to the artillery squadron leader made a judgment as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire.
"Organize a defense on the spot and wait for the main force to return for reinforcements!" The squadron leader's expression changed and he made a decisive decision.
I have to say that his order was timely and accurate.
After Wang Ping and his men finished killing the heavy machine gun squadron, when Zhang and the others rushed over, more than twenty Japanese soldiers equipped with rifles from the artillery squadron were already standing in front of them.
"Bah, bang, bang!" A burst of gunfire rang out, and five or six of the machine gunners at the front fell instantly.
