This was very unfair to the subordinates who were pursuing the Eighth Route Army, and might even lead to suspicion of abandoning them. Although the squad leader had a hunch that most of those subordinates had been eliminated by the Eighth Route Army, this news was not confirmed.
However, this forest is so weird, and the opponent is so elusive that he doesn't even know his strength. If he stays here for one more minute, he will be in more danger, and he may never get out again.
After some painful hesitation, in order to avoid the entire team being destroyed here, and also for the sake of the military exploits obtained, the team leader finally decided to retreat immediately and quickly exited Yinzi with the prisoners.
"Ono-kun, we can't stay here any longer, I decided to retreat immediately!" the squad leader ordered decisively.
The five Japanese riflemen went ahead to investigate.
But the woods below are too dense. Even if five Japanese soldiers line up and search forward with a net, they can only guarantee the safety of 20 to 30 meters of forest on both sides of the mountain road.
As soon as the five Japs left, more than a dozen Japs and prisoners, including the squad leader, followed, and then came the five little Japs at the rear!
Wang Ping, who came back in a hurry, happened to see this scene, his eyes lit up and he said: "God is really helping me! Platoon Commander Zeng, I have a way to save those doctors and nurses!"
"If there are more than twenty little Japs in a group, we will definitely be no match. But they have to march separately, giving us a chance to defeat them one by one."
"Everyone follow me and eat the five people behind the little devil's palace first!"
The five Japs lined up in a line, following closely behind the main force. Then each Japs held a rifle and stared at the surroundings with vigilance. If there was any doubt, they would shoot a bullet.
The five Japanese soldiers only walked forward 40 to 50 meters, and fired more than a dozen bullets!
"You little devil, you're wasting your bullets. If you use them this way, you'll have to use thousands of bullets by the time you get out of the woods!" Zeng Quan, who was following Wang Ping, couldn't help complaining.
Wang Ping rarely relaxed at this time: "The little devils are shooting to embolden themselves, otherwise how would they get out of this forest!"
"However, this also brings a problem. The sound of gunfire must have attracted the attention of the surrounding devils. This means that we must fight quickly. Otherwise, when the surrounding devils come to reinforce us, even if we can go to heaven and earth, we will not be able to save those people.
people!"
There is a depression less than 30 meters away from the road that the Japanese must pass through. Because there is no terrain advantage and it is difficult to hide people, the Japanese search troops only took a look and did not approach.
But in this small depression, Wang Ping and all six of his subordinates were hiding inside.
Because the body was covered with thick leaves, unless you walked directly in front of you, you wouldn't be able to tell at a glance that there were six or seven people hiding inside.
When a dozen Japanese soldiers and captured doctors and nurses walked past everyone, Wang Ping's eyes were like spitting fire. He wanted to shoot immediately and beat the Japanese soldiers into a hornet's nest.
But Wang Ping finally suppressed his anger.
Even if he shoots now, he can kill many Japs. But the Japs forwards and rearguards will definitely quickly surround him on both sides. Even if his soul came from time-travel, Wang Ping has no confidence in being surrounded by more than ten Japs elites.
Escape.
"Everyone, hold still. We will only attack the Japanese rearguard, and then retreat!" Wang Ping, who slowly calmed down, quickly ordered his subordinates, who had eyes burning with anger around him, not to be impulsive.
Soon, the five Japanese guards came into Wang Ping's sight.
Seven people, a light machine gun, a pistol, and five rifles, all aimed at them.
As soon as the cautious Japs walked in front of everyone, Wang Ping pulled the trigger. The harsh sound of gunshots quickly rang out in the forest. Almost all of the nearly twenty bullets that flew out hit the target, killing the five Japs in one fell swoop.
All turned into a hornet's nest.
"Retreat immediately, retreat deep into the forest!" The five Japanese soldiers fell down in response, and Wang Ping gave the order to retreat.
The Japanese team leader, who was walking in the middle of the team, was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately.
"Baga, it's the rearguard. Something happened to our rearguard unit. Get back to us immediately!"
Immediately, five Japanese soldiers rushed toward the rear guard with rifles in hand.
When they rushed to their destination, except for the five corpses, there was not even a shadow of Wang Ping and others.
He lost five elite Imperial soldiers without even knowing that his opponent was attacking him. The squad leader has been a soldier for so long and has never encountered such a strange battle.
Looking at the five bloody corpses in front of him, the squad leader suddenly felt a senseless panic in his heart.
When he looked at the surrounding woods, it seemed as if there were black holes with gun muzzles everywhere in the surrounding woods, and they were all pointed at him. As long as the other party fired, he would be beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant!
The team leader suddenly felt a chill. His first reaction was to leave the forest full of murderous intent immediately. Then he seemed to be frightened and shouted like crazy: "Retreat, ignore these corpses, and withdraw from the forest immediately."
, the sooner the better!”
The team leader, who didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, left here as soon as he finished speaking and retreated out of the forest along the mountain road opened by the search force, firing faster and faster.
But after all, they brought the wounded and prisoners, so their speed was definitely not as fast as Wang Ping's.
After learning that the Japanese army not only did not retaliate, but instead retreated out of the woods as if fleeing for their lives, Wang Ping immediately realized that the Japanese had been frightened by his elusive tactics and had now turned into a frightened bird.
After Wang Ping expressed his judgment, Zeng Quan was the first to not believe it.
"Impossible, the Japs are all inhuman beasts, how could they be frightened by us! Counselor Wang, I think the Japs are eager to retreat because they want to take our people out of the woods as early as possible to avoid any accidents!"
Wang Ping didn't explain, and answered directly: "Then we will prove it by fighting!"
"Comrades, hurry up and get in front of the Japanese. This time we will deal with the main force of the Japanese and rescue our doctors and nurses!"
In less than ten minutes, more than ten Japanese soldiers and seven prisoners were caught up by Wang Ping.
Because the forest was so dense, several people chased the Japanese thirty meters behind without being discovered.
"Everyone rush up, aim at the Japs, and shoot two bullets per person. After the shooting is over, retreat. Kill as many Japs as you can!" Wang Ping ordered as he ran.
"Squad leader Zhong, the Japs are mixed with our people. It is easy for machine guns to accidentally shoot. You stay here to cover. If the Japs catch up, you must block them..."
While he was talking, the back figures of several Japanese soldiers came into Wang Ping's field of vision.
Wang Ping, who was confident in his marksmanship, raised his pistol and fired. In less than three seconds, all ten pistol bullets were shot out of the gun chamber.
The last three Japanese soldiers were all shot in the back and fell forward to the ground.
The five riflemen following behind also opened fire at this time. The shooting distance was less than 30 meters, and the bullets almost hit the flesh. Ten rifle bullets with stronger penetrating power easily killed three Japanese soldiers.
At this time, a scene appeared that shocked Zeng Quan.
The Japanese who were attacked not only did not stop to fight back, but continued to fire forward like a lost dog, completely ignoring the killed colleagues behind them.
"The little devil is actually afraid of death!" Zeng Quan said with a stunned look on his face.
Wang Ping immediately said: "They are not afraid of death. Even if they are asked to block the holes of the bullets in the frontal battlefield, they will not frown. However, they are afraid that they will die inexplicably, and they will not even know their opponents when they die."
"Okay, don't be in a daze. Since the Japanese have been frightened by us, let's rush forward and continue fighting, trying to save the doctors and nurses!"
