The three of them had just retreated less than ten meters when an explosion sounded behind them, along with the screams of the Japanese.
The three men did not look back. They took advantage of the explosion to distract the Japs, shouldered their guns and retreated deeper into the forest.
The Japanese army finally occupied the mountain ridge, but gained nothing.
"Captain, the enemy who attacked us has escaped!" A sergeant rushed over panting and reported.
"In the explosion just now, we killed another warrior and injured two more!"
"Bageya Road, they must be the blocking force of the Eighth Route Army. They want to delay our reinforcement of Zuojun and buy time for them to completely annihilate Zuojun!" the team leader shouted with a look of realization.
Hearing the sound of gunshots coming from deep in the forest, and only seven or eight hundred meters away from him, he immediately ordered.
"Stay the wounded while the others continue on their way to reinforce Zuo Jun. He must not die!"
A sergeant reminded: "Sir, there is only one grenade soldier left who can continue on his way. The others are dead and injured, and the sergeant was also killed!"
"Then bring a grenade over there and recruit two infantrymen to help him carry the ammunition!" the squad leader ordered.
"The enemy's machine guns are attacking us. Only grenade launchers can kill these machine gun firepower points from a long distance!"
"Hi~" Sergeant replied quickly.
The team of more than 40 people quickly disappeared into the night. In addition to eight Japanese corpses on the mountain road, there were also three seriously wounded and two lightly wounded! A total of thirteen Japanese.
Killing thirteen Japs in one raid was definitely a good start in Li Hao's eyes.
Panting heavily, Li Hao rushed to the depths of the forest to join the three recruits. The Japanese reinforcements had already reached a position less than 200 meters behind them.
"I have already arranged the booby traps on the slope in advance. Next, we will deal with the remaining Japs here." Li Hao ordered with a serious look on his face.
"You have made it clear to me since the battle started. You will retreat as soon as I tell you to. You cannot stay for more than a second!"
"Fire as many bullets as you want, and not one more bullet!"
After saying that, he stared at the three recruits and asked: "Can all the grenades equipped by the Japanese be used?"
"It works~" the three recruits quickly replied.
For them, before they have mastered their marksmanship, using a gun to shoot down Japanese soldiers is worse than using grenades and grenades to explode.
Li Hao directly ordered: "Just know how to use it!"
"The crooked gun is different from the one made in the Czech Republic. Without a deputy to help supply ammunition, there is no way to ensure the continuity of firepower. After the two machine guns shoot out the bullets in the shortest time, we have to retreat, otherwise we will be finished once the Japanese come to their senses!
"
"What the three of you need to do is use this time to throw two grenades each at the Japs' heads."
"The power of grenades is greater than grenades, and they are more stable. When you throw them, try to stay in your hands for three seconds before throwing them out, so that they explode in the air!"
"Two machine guns fired at the same time, and six grenades dropped from the sky and hit them on top. Even if the Japanese reinforcements couldn't be killed, they would shed a layer of skin!"
"Also, everyone must pay attention. We don't shoot when the Japanese are coming. We will wait until they retreat."
"I prepared a surprise for the Japanese at the place where we fought just now. This surprise will not be revealed until they pass by!"
Hong Linfeng immediately thought of the scene where the platoon leader took eight grenades back after cleaning the battlefield, and when he came back there was not a single grenade left.
Moreover, the platoon leader specifically told everyone that no one could return to the battlefield without his order.
His eyes lit up and he asked: "Platoon leader, you have prepared booby traps for the Japanese!"
"To be precise, it should be a booby trap!" Li Hao didn't hide it.
While they were talking, more than forty Japanese soldiers had already rushed in front of everyone.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the Japanese as they walked past.
"Captain, there's a problem!" the sergeant walking next to the squad leader reminded.
"There is indeed a problem here!" The squad leader waved his hand and ordered the troops to stop, frowning and analyzing.
"I'm sure the gunfire just now was nearby, but there are no signs of fighting here at all!
"There's the smell of blood ahead!" His subordinates' shouts interrupted his thoughts.
"Hurry over!" The team leader ordered the troops to rush over without thinking.
As soon as he rushed to the battlefield, the strong and pungent smell of blood hit his face.
The squad leader frowned even deeper: "There must have been a bloody battle here, and it didn't take long to end!"
"There is still blood on the ground, and there is so much of it that the soil is dyed red!"
"The troops will disperse immediately and be on guard. Mr. Zuo Zuo must have been attacked by the enemy here!"
The subordinates following the team leader quickly dispersed, holding rifles and rushing to the side of the mountain road in groups of three to hide, staring at the surroundings with vigilance!
They looked well-trained and well-trained, but they ignored a very important issue, their feet!
No one pays attention to what they step on.
As for the traces of smoke produced after the booby trap is activated, there is no difference at all under the cover of the thick smell of blood.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
The booby trap exploded, and five booby traps exploded in succession.
In the rising fireballs, at least ten of his subordinates were blown over and fell to the ground dead or injured.
The squad leader subconsciously threw himself on the ground, causing a dog to eat its shit.
After finally getting up from the ground, the surroundings had become a mess, with moaning wounded and bloody corpses everywhere. It was very tragic.
"Baga, who can tell me what's going on? What's going on with the explosion just now!"
"It's a grenade explosion!" shouted a sergeant who had been an engineer.
"I've seen this before. Arranging grenades into booby traps can have the same effect as landmines!"
"The troops must have stepped on a booby trap laid by the enemy when they were on alert!"
"Captain, this enemy is extraordinary. They can even lay out booby traps. They must be more powerful than we imagined. I suggest you retreat to your base immediately!"
"Withdraw! No, we can't withdraw until we find the second lieutenant on the left!" the squad leader refused with a stern face.
The sergeant was about to continue persuading him, but he glared back at him.
Then he ordered: "Now that we know it is a booby trap, it will be easy to deal with it. From now on, everyone should pay attention to their steps. I will make all the booby traps arranged by the enemy ineffective!"
"Also, search the surrounding area immediately!"
"The smell of blood in the air is too strong. It would be impossible to produce such a strong smell of blood without more than a dozen casualties!"
"With so many corpses, the enemy can't hide very far even if they want to!"
A little devil soon made a discovery.
"So many corpses! Sir, the corpses of the fallen warriors are hidden in the ditch behind the bushes. There are many of them!"
