Five grenades flew towards the Japanese as Li Hao watched.
"Boom boom..."
The grenade exploded, and several fireballs mixed with billowing black smoke rose into the sky among the Japanese.
The grenades currently used by the army are all made in the regular arsenal of the Central Army and the Jinsui Army. They are not the black powder grenades made by the Eighth Route Army a few years later. They explode in two halves. They are so powerful that they explode into at least a dozen fragments.
It blew up the three Japs who were rushing forward.
But there was no smile on Li Hao's face at all.
There are a total of twelve people in the guard squad. Apart from himself and machine gunner Chen Bing, there are still ten people. Only five grenades have been thrown out now, which means that in just a few minutes of fighting, the guard squad has already suffered five casualties.
"Keep throwing, smash all the grenades out!" Li Hao didn't have time to feel sad, gritted his teeth and continued to order.
Quickly raise the rifle, put a sergeant holding a plaster flag rifle into the sight, and pull the trigger!
Under the cover of explosions, the gunfire did not attract anyone's attention.
Seeing the blood hole that suddenly appeared in his chest, the sergeant was stunned for a moment, then a flash of despair flashed across his face, and he fell to the ground with eyes full of unwillingness.
"Retreat..." The last remaining sergeant in the team saw that the situation was not good and ordered decisively.
A dozen riflemen had no cover from machine guns and grenade launchers. They had to face not only grenades falling from the sky, but also machine gun fire from high ground.
Even if the troops successfully rush to the high ground in the end, they will suffer heavy casualties. They will definitely be driven down due to insufficient strength. It is better to retreat now, save a few more soldiers, and then attack again when there is cover from machine guns and grenade launchers.
At the 115th Division Headquarters, the division commander's dignified and serious face showed a rare smile, and he shouted happily.
"Okay, good fight. A small group of Japs were repelled by them. This is simply a miracle!"
The political commissar took a long breath and replied: "Judging from the firepower, there is only one of our squadrons of security troops in the sky above Laoye Temple Heights!"
"An infantry squad resisted the Japanese attack by an infantry squad and even repelled them. Killing and wounding thirty or forty little Japs was truly a miracle? You know, on the frontal battlefield, an infantry squad of the Japanese army could do anything casually.
You can suppress an infantry company of the Jinsui Army and beat them violently!"
"What interests me most is the explosion just now!" the division commander nodded and affirmed.
"All machine gun positions, artillery positions, and even temporary bunkers selected by the Japs have been set up with grenades by this squad. The Japs will explode when they go over there!"
"What on earth were they thinking? How did they know that the Japanese would definitely place machine gun positions and artillery positions there!"
"And how they controlled the grenade explosion, this must be clarified!"
"Political Commissar, remember, after the battle is over, if you find this squad, I will give this squad a division-wide report and commend it! Also, let the squad leader of this infantry squad come to see me. I will ask him a question and untie his heart.
Those questions!”
"No problem!" the political commissar affirmed.
The division commander continued to ask: "Where is the chief of staff? Have you contacted the 686th Regiment? Immediately send troops to reinforce the Laoyemiao Highlands. We must occupy the highlands before the Japanese!"
"The 686th Regiment has dispatched a kill streak from the reserve team and should be here soon!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
"One company is too few!" The smile on the teacher's face disappeared, and his brows wrinkled again!
"The little Japs have obviously set their sights on the Laoye Temple Highlands. Troops are constantly coming to kill them. There are already two to three hundred Japs gathered below the heights!"
"Tell the 686th Regiment to send two more to kill them. They must occupy the high ground and pin the Japanese in the ravine. They must not be allowed to defend from high ground!"
The political commissar then added: "I hope the squad currently defending the Laoye Temple Highlands can hold on until the reinforcements pass by!"
"They can definitely do it!" For some unknown reason, the teacher developed an inexplicable trust in Li Hao.
Analyzing to the political commissar: "The person who can place so many grenades on the Japanese attack path in advance and kill dozens of Japanese soldiers without firing a single shot is definitely not an ordinary person!"
"If he can repel the Japanese attack once, he will definitely be able to hold on to the reinforcements. I believe in him!"
After saying that, the division commander turned his attention to other battlefields of the ambush battle!
On the high ground of Laoye Temple, before the surviving soldiers in the guard squad had time to take a breath, a cry of surprise made everyone's relaxed nerves tense up again.
"Squad leader, the Japanese are attacking again!"
"Get ready to fight!" Li Hao quickly holstered the rifle in his hand and ordered.
"This time, the Japanese will shoot as soon as they rush to 100 meters in front of our formation. It's still the same old rule. Pay attention to concealment. Please be smarter and change the shooting position. I don't want to see any soldier sacrifice again..."
"boom……"
After saying this, Li Hao pulled the trigger and killed a Japanese grenadier who was walking at the back.
Li Jie and Hong Linfeng, both skilled in marksmanship, fired one after another. A sergeant holding a plaster flag rifle fell down in response.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
The Japanese also started to fight back, firing rifles and machine guns together.
Several bullets hit the rock where Li Hao was hiding just now, scaring Li Hao into a cold sweat.
"Boom...boom..."
Two explosions suddenly sounded not far away, and two grenades hit the machine gunner Chen Bing on both sides, one on the left and one on the right.
Thick smoke rose into the sky and quickly enveloped the machine gun position. The light machine gun that was shouting Zheng Huan suddenly stopped and stopped.
Li Hao was shocked and secretly prayed that Chen Bing and the machine gun would be alright.
Machine guns are the fire support for long-distance shooting by the guard squad. In the event of an accident, it is impossible to pose a threat to the Japanese attacking troops with just a few rifles.
"Da da da……"
Li Hao was very lucky that the machine gun stopped firing for less than five seconds before it started firing again.
When the smoke cleared, Chen Bing lay on the ground with his shoulder on the butt of his gun and continued shooting. There was a corpse lying next to him, the deputy shooter of the machine gun.
Chen Bing, who was lying on the ground, was also injured. A hole was blown out of his left leg and thigh, and blood kept pouring out.
But Chen Bing acted as if nothing was wrong, and continued shooting in pain!
"Everyone fire, keep shooting, increase the firepower, reduce the pressure on the machine gunners, and we must hold on until reinforcements arrive!" Li Hao also became anxious and shouted loudly.
"Da da da……"
A burst of more intensive gunshots suddenly sounded behind him. Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and then a very lucky smile appeared on his face.
He saw the third platoon leader and his men rushing towards him.
"Haozi, you have worked hard. We will fight in the next battle. Beat them all hard and kill the little devil in front of you!"
After the troop downsizing, in addition to the guard squad, each infantry squad of the Eighth Company had more than 20 people.
Although the third platoon leader only brought two squads, a large group of fifty people came, including a light machine gun.
The counterattack firepower that was still sparse on the high ground suddenly increased seven to eight times.
The Japanese attacking troops were caught off guard, and more than a dozen of them were knocked down in an instant, and the unstoppable offensive was suppressed.
