"Tuba Road ambush troops!" The moment the gunfire rang out, the Japanese captain subconsciously shouted.
Then he said to himself with a look of disbelief: "Bageya Road, how is it possible? How dare Tubal Road ambush us in broad daylight? Aren't they worried about our aviation?"
"Contact the brigade headquarters immediately and request aviation reinforcements. I will blow up all the Tubal Roads that ambush us around us!"
"Da da da... boom boom boom..."
As soon as the order was given, a series of gunshots mixed with four explosions rang in the captain's ears.
"Sir, be careful!" The guard guarding him reacted very quickly and threw him to the ground immediately.
Despite this, the captain could still clearly feel the hot air waves sweeping across his back!
"Sir, are you okay?" The adjutant next to him immediately crawled over and asked.
The captain was okay, but the two guards lying behind him were dead. The flying shell fragments directly punched several bloody holes in their backs, killing them.
As the commander of the entire army, he must have the largest number of Japanese and puppet army officers gathered around him.
Even without riding horses, the location of the headquarters is still well exposed in front of the 1st Battalion.
From the moment the Japanese entered the ambush circle, the captain was targeted by the artillery platoon.
After the attack started, four mortars fired together. Although the hit rate of the shells was very poor, one shell still hit the target accurately. Not only did it give the Japanese captain a disgrace, but it also killed many Japanese.
"I'm fine! Contact the brigade headquarters immediately and request Army Aviation for reinforcements. I want to eliminate the Eighth Route Army around us who dare to ambush us!"
"Also, gather troops, occupy the high ground next to it, launch a counterattack on the spot, and wait for air reinforcements!"
The adjutant replied in despair and helplessness: "Sir, the operator was killed in the shelling just now, and we have lost contact with the brigade headquarters!"
"Nani!" The captain was stunned for a moment and asked with a look of disbelief.
Then he frowned and cursed: "How is it possible? Aren't the operators following us? How could they be scared to death? What do the security forces do for food!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a corpse carrying a radio appeared in the field of vision not far away.
An expression of despair appeared on his calm face. However, the captain was a veteran after all, and he quickly recovered from his despair.
He comforted the subordinates with desperate expressions around him: "Don't be discouraged, gentlemen. I had thought of this happening when we set out, so I made a special agreement with the brigade leader to contact each other once an hour. As long as twenty
Minutes, if we don’t take the initiative to contact the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander will know that something is wrong with us, and then send a plane to search and reinforce us!"
Hope lit up again on the faces of the subordinates around him.
The captain also regained some confidence and ordered with a frown: "The surrounding highlands are all occupied by Tubal Road. Taking the highlands from their hands will take time and cause heavy casualties. We have limited troops and it is not cost-effective!"
"Surround the grain trucks around us to form a ring fortification, and use the grain trucks as a cover to hold on, now!"
The Japanese captain's reaction speed is very fast, and he is very experienced in facing attacks. When encountering ordinary Eighth Route Army troops, if he fights in this way, he can casually hold on for several hours.
However, his opponent was not the ordinary Eighth Route Army, but a new regiment that had just won a great victory and had replenished a large number of heavy weapons.
After the order to assemble was given, the anxious captain did not wait for too many subordinates, but instead waited for even greater chaos.
"Sir, the firepower of Tubal Road's ambush on us was too strong. More than half of the forward team was lost. The others were suppressed by the machine gun fire of the Eighth Route Army on the high ground and could not move!" A lieutenant came over and reported.
"The rearguard team also suffered heavy losses. They were suppressed by the Eighth Route Army and could not concentrate here!"
Looking at the forty or fifty subordinates who were slowly gathering around him, the captain understood that these were the only people he could move for the time being.
As for the puppet soldiers nearby who were already in chaos or lying motionless on the ground, the Japanese captain had no hope at all.
During the battle, they did not cause trouble or even attack the imperial army. The captain was thankful to God.
Soon, dozens of nearby grain trucks were pushed around everyone, forming a circle of fortifications that, although crude, could stop bullets without any problems.
The captain who had been lying on the ground was finally able to stand up and lay behind the grain truck to observe the battle situation.
Soon, the captain's face turned ugly again.
Although there were forty or fifty subordinates gathered around him, they did not bring a heavy machine gun or a mortar.
"Baga, where are the heavy machine guns and mortars? Why haven't they been dragged over? How can we hold on without heavy machine guns and mortars!" the captain frowned and cursed.
The adjutant immediately replied: "The heavy machine gun squad and the artillery were the key targets of the Eighth Route Army. They were killed at the beginning of the battle. Moreover, these heavy weapons were targeted by the Eighth Route Army. No one can get close to them!"
"Bage Yalu, forget it for now, everyone enter the position and start fighting!" The captain first cursed and then ordered.
Bullets from both sides were coming back and forth, and with the cover of food trucks, the Japanese casualties were significantly reduced.
However, it didn't take long for the captain to realize that it was not a wise decision for him to assemble his troops and stand firm.
"Boom boom boom..."
A series of explosions sounded behind him, and all four mortar shells hit the ring fortifications.
At least five imperial soldiers were blown up, and their lives and deaths are unknown.
"It's over!" These two words suddenly appeared in the captain's mind, and he had a very bad premonition.
The adjutant also discovered a problem: "Sir, Tubal Road has artillery, but we don't. If we gather our troops together, we can only be beaten passively. As long as Tubal Road has enough artillery shells, we can all be blown up by cannons alone!"
"Bagh Yalu, I can see it! The cunning Eighth Route Army actually has so many weapons!" the captain replied with a frown.
Then he ordered: "Break through. Only by breaking through can we survive. Give up food and concentrate all firepower to break through!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions continued to sound in the ring fortifications, and the troops were finally gathered together to prepare for a breakout. The more than fifty subordinates had been reduced to thirty.
"Batalion Commander, the Japs seem to be trying to escape!" Firepower Company Commander Chen Yang, who was lying next to Xiong Changhe, reported with a frown.
"Concentrate your firepower and cover the remaining thirty or so Japs. The whole battalion is ready to charge and kill the remaining Japanese and puppet troops!" Xiong Changhe ordered decisively.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers just broke out of the ring of fortifications surrounded by grain trucks. At least four heavy machine guns and five light machine guns stared at them and fired.
In just a few seconds, most of these devils lost their lives.
"Blow the charge horn, all charge!" Xiong Changhe, who was staring at the battlefield, ordered decisively.
"Tick tock..." As soon as he finished speaking, the loud sound of the charge horn sounded on the battlefield, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.
