"Shoot... bang bang bang... click, click, click..."
Li Hao hid behind the bushes and could clearly see the Japs' faces. He slightly adjusted the angle of the gun, put a Japs sergeant in the crosshairs, and then decisively pulled the trigger.
In an instant, the rifle and two crooked handles beside him also sounded at the same time, and bullets were fired at the Japanese soldiers who were close at hand like a rain of bullets.
The seven or eight Japanese who rushed to the front fell at the sound, leaving no time to make any preparations.
"Baga! The enemy is attacking, everyone is hiding and counterattacking...the machine gunners are firing back, suppressing the opponent's firepower!" The squad leader hid behind a big tree, not surprised but happy, shouting with excitement on his face.
"The ones who attacked us must be the entire Eighth Route Army hiding in the mountains. Only they have such fierce machine gun firepower. Shoot them immediately and hold them back. When the friendly troops on both wings come over and surround them, we can kill them!"
Li Hao did not stop the movement of his hand, nor did he change the shooting position. He quickly adjusted the muzzle of the gun and put a Japanese soldier with only his head exposed into the crosshairs.
"Bang~"
The moment he pulled the trigger, he yelled.
"The rifleman throws a grenade, and everyone is ready to retreat~"
"Boom boom boom..."
Seven or eight grenades flew towards the Japanese and exploded. The rapidly rising smoke and fireballs instantly covered the open space between the enemy and ourselves.
"Retreat~"
Li Hao shouted loudly, picked up his rifle and ran back.
The smoke dissipated quickly, and Li Hao's retreating figure was still captured by the Japanese army.
"The enemy is trying to run, catch up quickly!" the squad leader ordered hurriedly.
"I'm sure this is the Eighth Route Army we are looking for. If we catch up with them and kill them, we will end this battle..."
More than thirty Japanese soldiers clung to Li Hao's back and chased him five to six hundred meters in the blink of an eye.
At first, the team leader was a little worried that he would go deep alone, but when he saw that friendly troops on both wings were following him, he immediately felt relieved and kept urging his subordinates to speed up.
"Wait a minute~"
A messenger next to the captain suddenly rushed over and reported while breathing heavily.
"Sir, the captain ordered the troops to stop the pursuit!"
"What? Stop...how is this possible!"
The squad leader's first subconscious reaction was that it was impossible. He stared at the messenger with his big eyes and asked.
"What did the captain think? As long as we continue to chase them, we can catch up with them in half an hour at most. Did you hear it wrong?"
No matter how bold the messenger was, he would not dare to lie about military orders.
He quickly shook his head and replied: "Sir, this is the intact order of the captain. I haven't changed a word. There is absolutely no problem!"
"Everyone stop chasing!" The team leader looked unwilling, but decided to carry out the order temporarily.
Then he ordered the ordering soldier next to him: "I will go with you to find the captain. I want to know the reason. If it weren't for the captain's order, the Eighth Route Army in front of him who was fleeing for his life would definitely not be able to escape from my grasp!"
When I rushed to the squadron leader, there were already several squadron leaders and squadron leaders gathered here, all standing around with confused expressions on their faces.
The captain got straight to the point and said, "I know what you want to ask?"
"Answer at least I'll ask you a few questions first!"
"When you were chasing the Eighth Route Army, didn't you notice that our direction in the woods had changed?"
"We originally searched eastward, but now we have moved southward. We were completely led by the Eighth Route Army and were beaten passively!"
Several squad leaders and squadron leaders had expressions of realization on their faces.
The captain continued: "I'm sure that the Eighth Route Army led us south on purpose!"
"Take us in circles in the woods, disrupt our search plan, and then buy them time to move the seriously injured!"
"If we continue to pursue, we will be fooled!"
The team leader agreed with this analysis, but still looked unwilling.
"But, Mr. Captain, according to the pursuit speed just now, we will be able to catch up with them in half an hour at the latest!"
"I'm sure they are the Eighth Route Army we are looking for when we go into the mountains. Wouldn't it be easier to kill them first and then go find the seriously wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers in their hands?"
The captain showed a very serious expression and asked: "Are you sure you can catch up with them and kill them within half an hour?"
"Don't forget, the Eighth Route Army is more familiar with this forest than we are, and they can get rid of you at any time if they want!"
"In my opinion, the reason why you can keep chasing the Eighth Route Army is not because we are so powerful, nor is it that the Eighth Route Army has reached the point where its skills are exhausted, but because the Eighth Route Army deliberately created an illusion for us!"
"conspiracy!"
The squad leader frowned, then showed an expression of disbelief.
But he soon accepted the fact that he didn't want to believe at all.
"Really, after chasing them for several hundred meters, the distance between us and them remained the same. This would never happen in a normal pursuit. It must be the Eighth Route Army's intention to give us hope of catching up with them, and then
Keep chasing them and accompany them in circles in the mountains!"
"Bageya Road, these Eighth Route Army troops are really cunning!"
"Thankfully, Captain, you gave the order to stop the pursuit in time, otherwise I would have been fooled!"
After saying that, the squad leader, who looked frightened, continued to ask.
"But in this case, it will definitely be very difficult for us to bite these Eighth Route Army soldiers and then kill them!"
"No rush!" the captain replied confidently.
"This time we don't take the initiative to find them, but let them take the initiative to come to us. We just need to wait and see!"
"How is this possible!" All the team leaders and squadron leaders once again showed expressions of disbelief and confusion on their faces.
There was no expression fluctuation on the captain's confident face as he continued: "I said it's possible, it's possible!"
"The Eighth Route Army tried its best to lead us to the south of the forest. There must be nothing there. This indirectly proves that their seriously injured soldiers are hidden in the east of the forest. Our original first search target was the east of the forest!"
"Now all troops will go back and continue to search the east side of the forest according to the original search plan to find the seriously wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
"As long as we find them and capture them, the Eighth Route Army responsible for protecting them will come over and try desperately to rescue them from us!"
"What we need to do then is wait and see, and keep the net open!"
The way the squad leader looked at the senior captain changed, his eyes were full of admiration.
I couldn't help but sigh: "Sir, you are wise!"
"This can be said to kill three birds with one stone. It not only reduces the casualties of the troops, saves time, but also attacks the Eighth Route Army!"
"That's it!" The captain began to give the order.
"All troops retreat to the weak point just now, and continue searching forward along the original path!"
"We were attacked by the Eighth Route Army on the way, so we directly counterattacked with machine gun and grenade firepower without chasing them."
"As long as we find their seriously wounded, no matter how cunning the remaining Eighth Route Army is, we will definitely win this battle with few casualties!"
