As soon as the Japs left, the two puppet soldiers seemed to have lost their backbone and instantly became more panicked.
Although the Japanese ordered the two of them to stay here to block the Eighth Route Army before leaving, dozens of Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed over with machine guns in hand. Their momentum alone scared them into losing their ability to resist.
Watching the Eighth Route Army rushing over, they neither dared to fight back nor move. The only thing they could do was to squat behind the bunker and tremble all over.
"Don't move. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially. Anyone who moves will be killed!" Soon, several guns with black holes were pointed at them, and one of the Eighth Route Army shouted loudly.
"Surrender, we surrender, don't kill us!" The two puppet soldiers shook their hands and their rifles fell to the ground. Then they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the Eighth Route Army surrounding them.
First company commander Zhang Qing rushed over and ordered: "Leave one person to watch them, and the others will follow me to fight in?"
Rushing all the way in from the entrance of the village, we did not encounter any resistance. It was not until the compound where the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed came into everyone's view that we saw the panicked figures of the Japanese and puppet troops behind the courtyard wall.
At this moment, a series of dull heavy machine gun fire sounded in front.
Zhang Qing's face changed and he shouted loudly: "No, it's a heavy machine gun. Everyone, take cover!"
"Da da da..." Amidst the harsh sound of machine gun fire, Zhang Qing's order was still too late.
The three riflemen at the front were beaten into a hornet's nest and died.
Deputy battalion commander Zeng Quan rushed over at this time, frowned and ordered: "Machine gun cover, fire all three crooked guns, and shoot against the Japanese heavy machine guns! In the grenade squad, each of the three grenades
Fire two grenades to give the Japanese a warning and force them to ask for help from the county seat!"
In terms of firepower, the crooked handle is definitely not as good as the 92-style.
But the advantage lies in the large number. Three crooked handles fired at the same time from three directions. The Type 92 guarded one of the crooked handles, and the other two immediately fired fatal bullets from other directions.
As a result, if the Type 92 had not been blocked by a protective steel plate in front and most of the bullets were blocked by this steel plate, the heavy machine gunner behind the steel plate would have suffered heavy casualties.
But even so, the bullets that escaped the net continued to hit the machine gunner behind.
The Japanese heavy machine guns, which were very arrogant just now, are no longer arrogant, and the intensive counterattack firepower has become intermittent.
At this moment, three grenades equipped by a company fired.
From a shooting distance of tens of meters, a group of three grenades were easily fired into the yard and exploded.
"Boom, boom, boom!" After six consecutive explosions, several plumes of black smoke quickly rose up in the small yard.
Although he could not see the specific results in the yard, Zeng Quan was confident that the six grenades would not let him down.
Sure enough, as soon as the explosion stopped, there were screams and screams full of terror in the yard.
At this time, the Japanese squad leader had fully realized that the mopping up troops he had sent out were finished. He saw that the Eighth Route Army besieging him was not only equipped with crooked handles but also grenade launchers. The only thing he could rely on was a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
, the squad leader also panicked.
Without thinking, he called the Laiyuan City garrison headquarters and asked for reinforcements.
Colonel Ono has been the captain of the regiment for nearly a year. Some time ago, on the frontal battlefield, he fought at the front of the entire division, and even created a record of an infantry regiment defeating a division of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
With these military exploits, Ono can be promoted to major general.
But because he didn't have a good relationship in the military, his major general spot was taken away directly.
Under those circumstances, Ono had thoughts of killing people, but he finally held back because the division commander promised that as long as he made some more military exploits, the division commander would personally recommend him as the commander of the major general brigade.
It was precisely for this promise that Ono endured, and then led the Ono regiment that suffered heavy losses to garrison Laiyuan City, waiting for reinforcements, and then returned to the battlefield to use his military exploits to tell the military officials that he was capable of serving as a major general brigade.
Head of the group.
However, what makes Ono feel aggrieved is that this stay has become elusive.
The waiting reinforcements never arrived, but the front army issued an order to remove himself from the field force and appointed him as the garrison commander of Laiyuan City.
Although the front army promised that the Ono regiment he commanded would soon be expanded into a garrison brigade, and he would be promoted to major general brigade commander. But Ono was not happy at all.
As a soldier, Ono knows very well that only on the front line and in the field troops can he obtain a steady stream of military exploits. With military exploits, he can be continuously promoted and have a promising military career.
He stayed in Laiyuan City to form a garrison brigade. On the surface, he was promoted. But because he stayed behind, unless something unexpected happened, he would not be able to obtain any military exploits at all. If he did not do well, his military career would be ruined.
Stop here and be the commander of the Major General Brigade for the rest of your life.
This was definitely not the result that Ono wanted, so from the moment he received the order, Ono had a calm face and rarely spoke.
As for anger, it goes without saying. For more than half a month, every staff officer in the headquarters was scolded by him, and some even received several slaps from him, which made the staff of the headquarters avoid him when they saw him.
Far away.
At this moment, the emergency call for Shuiquan Village opened.
The staff officer who received the call didn't want to see Ono very much, but thought that the Shuiquan Village stronghold might be captured by the Eighth Route Army at any time, so he had no choice but to knock on the door of Ono's office.
"Sir, Shuiquan Village was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy losses. Please request for reinforcements?"
"Nani? The Eighth Route Army is convinced that those who attacked Shuiquan Village were regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, not guerrillas!"
"Hi! Our people report that the Eighth Route Army's offensive is very fierce. Although there is only one company, it is equipped with three machine guns and three grenade launchers! Now the defenders have lost most of them and are in urgent need of reinforcements!"
"It must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army!" Ono not only did not get angry, but instead shouted with eyes shining.
