"Boom!" As soon as the squadron leader's order came out, an explosion that was different from an artillery shell sounded not far away.
A car compartment was detonated by the fragments produced by the explosion of the artillery shell. An explosion occurred instantly. Not only did the front of the car explode into a pile of scrap metal, but the fuel from the exploded fuel tank also burned rapidly, turning the entire car into a huge torch.
Four or five imperial troops hiding under the car were swept into the fire without even having time to fire their guns, and were then burned into charcoal with screams of agony!
After a car was bombed, the squadron leader clearly saw a group of three falling mortar shells approaching his position.
Judging from the opponent's posture, we knew that the Eighth Route Army wanted to blow up all the cars on the official road one by one, and at the same time blow up all the Imperial Army warriors hiding under the cars.
The squadron leader's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "When did Bagya Road and Tubal Road have such fierce artillery fire? It's not safe under the car. Order the warriors to leave the car immediately and break out toward the county seat. Quick!"
As soon as the order was given, the squadron leader broke out from behind under the protection of several guards.
The artillery shells thrown by the Eighth Route Army just now were too close to me. No one can guarantee whether the next round of artillery shells will hit the car where I am hiding. If it does, then I will be like the few warriors just now.
He was so miserable that he was burnt to charcoal by the fire.
As a captain of the Imperial Japanese Army, he would rather die under the guns of the Eighth Route Army than be burned into cokes.
However, leaving the car to break out does not mean that he can leave here alive.
The reason why Wang Ping ordered the artillery platoon to drop artillery shells on the official road regardless of the cost was to force out the Japanese hiding under the car.
Therefore, during the bombardment, the five light and heavy machine guns and more than a hundred rifles of the independent battalion were all aimed at the cars that were still intact on the official road.
As long as a Japs emerge from under the car, many bullets will fly towards him immediately, and the Japs squadron leader is no exception.
"Da da da!" As soon as they got up from under the car, a crooked gun and several riflemen stared at them. As soon as the sound of intensive machine gun fire rang out, the three subordinates around them were beaten into a hornet's nest, and the remaining
The two subordinates subconsciously threw themselves to the ground to escape the disaster.
However, this also means they lose the cover of their car.
The few Eighth Route Army soldiers closest to them had a smile on their lips, and at the same time, they took out a grenade, then pulled the grenade very skillfully, held it in their hands for three seconds, and then threw it out.
Several grenades exploded in the air. Although the explosion point was not directly above the Japs' heads, the scattered grenade fragments still caused them to be bloody and bloody, making it impossible for them to survive.
In the next minute or two, Wang Ping used the same method to force the remaining Japanese soldiers out of the car. Without exception, they were all killed by the rifles and machine guns waiting for them.
"Commander, blow the charge bugle, attack immediately, kill all the little Japs who are still alive!" Seeing that it was hard to hear the Japs' counterattack gunshots on the official road, Wang Ping ordered decisively!
"Tick-tock! Tick-tock!" The three trumpeters of the Independence Battalion immediately stood up from the cornfield, then puffed up their cheeks and began to blow the trumpets.
As soon as the loud charge horn sounded, more than a hundred riflemen rushed towards the pipeline with rifles with bayonets in hand, as if they had been given blood.
The machine gunner in charge of the five light and heavy machine guns did not move, his eyes fixed on the battlefield. As long as there was any movement, a shuttle of bullets would be fired to cover the rifleman's charge.
Soon, the riflemen rushed up the official road and used bayonets to kill the Japanese.
Although several wounded Japanese soldiers died with grenades during this process, as did the independent battalion soldiers, and more than a dozen soldiers died or were injured on the official road, these casualties still could not change the outcome of the complete destruction of the Japanese army.
Wang Ping did not rush out with the troops. The outcome of the battlefield was already determined. It didn't matter whether he rushed out or not.
Soon, the second company commander Zhang Yunshan rushed over with excitement: "We win, battalion commander, we won!"
"A total of 168 Japanese, including a captain, were all killed!"
"Not to mention the seizure, except for the equipment of a Japanese infantry squadron that was damaged by the bombing, we seized all the equipment. There were five crooked handles, six grenade launchers, 83 38-guns, and 8 bastard boxes.
There are more than 25,000 rounds of various bullets, as well as 180 special grenades and 363 grenades!"
After the report, he did not forget to add: "This much equipment is enough for us to form two infantry platoons! Battalion Commander, I suggest that the machine guns and grenade launchers missing from the second company be filled first!"
"I can't do without you!" Wang Ping replied with a satisfied look on his face.
Then he ordered Zhong Yusheng, who was rushing over from the side: "Platoon Commander Zhong, your guard platoon needs to work harder. Deploy a few veterans and bring all the ammunition. Remember to bring more grenades. You will lead the team yourself!"
"If we eat one of their infantry squadrons in one bite, the Japanese will definitely not be willing to accept it and will definitely send troops to retaliate against us!"
"No matter how many Japs come out, you must use guerrilla warfare to slow down their march as much as possible, and then send people to Shuiquan Village to report the Japs' situation to me! Also, you are good at shooting machine guns. Bring two of the captured weapons.
Get over here crookedly!"
Zhong Yusheng, who had already obtained many true stories from Wang Ping, his eyes lit up and he replied: "Please rest assured, battalion commander, and promise to complete the mission!"
As soon as Zhong Yusheng left, Wang Ping continued to give orders in front of the two company commanders.
"Let the comrades speed up, take away everything they can, and then return to Shuiquan Village to repair! The Japanese will definitely come out again. Everyone must ensure their physical strength and be prepared for continuous combat!"
As soon as the ambush outside the village started, Zeng Quan knew that the Japs in the village were useless.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, the originally small Japanese and puppet troops lost more than a dozen people again. The last dozen Japanese soldiers, relying on heavy machine guns, trapped the strongest courtyard to hold on.
Zeng Quan, who was not going to show mercy, immediately ordered a company of grenade squads that had not moved to fire, and focused on the Japanese heavy machine gun position to explode.
Nine grenades passed by, and the heavy machine gun position was directly shrouded in smoke.
Five or six Japanese soldiers around them also fell into a pool of blood. As for the Japanese soldiers guarding in other directions, the strong courtyard wall could block the bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army, but it could not block the shrapnel from the grenades coming from behind.
Many Japanese and puppet troops lying on the courtyard wall were blown over without having time to react.
Before the violent explosion in the yard ended, Zeng Quan ordered a company to launch an attack.
"Boom!" In the violent explosion, the closed door of the yard crashed to the ground.
