"The devil's reaction speed is so fast!" Li Hao exclaimed with a breath of cold air.
Just now, if I had lowered my head for just half a second, a string of machine gun bullets fired by the Japanese would have blown off my head in an instant.
After forcing himself to calm down, he ordered: "Since we have been targeted by the Japanese, use the machine gun to give them a hard hit!"
"Give me the crooked weapon and kill the remaining little Japs' death squads on the battlefield!"
Li Hao, who had moved to the new shooting position, stuck his head out again. Seeing that the Japs were not paying attention, he quickly set up the machine gun, pointed it at the three Japs who had rushed less than ten meters away from the bunker, and decisively pulled the trigger.
"Da da da……"
After Li Hao fired three magazines and fifteen bullets in one breath, a strong sense of danger made him lower his head again.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Several bullets flew back close to his scalp, and the smell of burning hair reached his nose, frightening Li Hao again.
The three Japs were killed by Li Hao at the last moment, and they fell to the ground with unwilling expressions on their faces.
"Captain, all twenty suicide squads are dead. The third squadron's casualties have exceeded that of an infantry squad. The Eighth Route Army's firepower on the mountainside is too fierce. If they continue to attack, the casualties will increase greatly. The gain is not worth the loss. I suggest that they retreat to avoid
Unnecessary casualties!"
Although the captain had a sullen face and said nothing, the deputy captain saw with his own eyes that his hands holding the telescope began to tremble with heartache due to the heavy casualties of the troops.
After a long time, he finally sighed and replied: "Retreat~The attacking troops will retreat immediately~"
"Grenade cover prevents the Eighth Route Army machine gunners from firing, otherwise they will suffer heavy casualties even if they retreat!"
"Hey..." the deputy captain commanded with a sigh of relief.
The Japanese retreated, retreating very quickly under the cover of grenade launchers.
The three machine gunners whose vision was obscured fired at them desperately, leaving only a dozen little Japs behind.
"Platoon leader, this battle was so exciting. The Japanese were all swept to the ground like cutting leeks by us, and we didn't have to worry about bullets and shells. I really wish that the Japanese would charge again and we would have another great time!"
Hong Linfeng, who personally controlled a machine gun, shouted excitedly as he rushed out of the machine gun bunker.
"Are you all fools to think that you are a Japanese? Why send troops to kill so many people?" Li Hao rolled his eyes at him and replied.
Then he did not forget to remind: "You don't have to be too excited. The reason why this battle ended is not because the Japanese are not good at fighting, but because we were lucky and the Japanese did not carry heavy weapons into the mountains!"
"Otherwise, the bunker you were hiding in just now will be blown to pieces by just a few rounds from the enemy!"
"Without the cover of the machine gun bunker, our troops are not enough to kill them with grenades, let alone other Japanese!"
The smile on Hong Linfeng's face disappeared, and then he slowly returned to seriousness.
"Platoon leader, I understand. Now that the Japanese have suffered heavy casualties, how should we fight next? Can you give me the order?"
Li Hao frowned and analyzed: "We killed at least fifteen people in the Japs' forward troops, and we killed at least one infantry squad in the first round of attack. We must have killed more than one squad of Japs in the attack just now!"
"These are just the little devils who were killed, not the wounded!"
"If we include them, we must have killed one of their infantry squadrons in today's battle!"
"Including their casualties in the past few days, there should be only about 200 Japs left at the foot of the mountain who can still fight."
More than two hundred Japanese, which sounds like a lot, but after excluding the manpower to take care of the wounded, there should not be many left.
Hong Linfeng replied with a look of approval: "There must be forty or fifty wounded among the Japanese."
"Two soldiers take care of one wounded person, which means that there are still more than 100 Japanese soldiers at the foot of the mountain who can continue to fight!"
"Not bad~" Li Hao confirmed.
"If I guessed correctly, they will definitely choose to retreat due to lack of troops!"
Hong Linfeng's serious face quickly flashed with murderous intent, and then he cursed: "Platoon leader, we can't let them withdraw from the mountain so easily."
"Killing so many of our soldiers, coming when they want and leaving when they want, that would be such a good thing."
Li Hao did not expect that Hong Linfeng was also a vengeful person, so he answered without thinking.
"Of course!"
"I won't let go of such a good opportunity to beat up the drowned dog!"
"People say that geese leave their hair behind. The little devil has been in the mountains for so long and killed so many of our comrades. He must leave something behind, otherwise we will be in great trouble!"
"I have set a minimum goal now. For as many soldiers as the whole platoon has sacrificed, we will kill as many little Japs so that they can live in peace underground!"
"And in the battle just now, you three machine gunners fired at least a thousand rounds of bullets. These bullets cannot be fired hundreds of times, they must be recovered from the Japanese!"
Hong Linfeng's face showed an expression of eagerness to try.
"Platoon commander, how are we going to fight? Give us the order, I can't wait!"
"Chen Bing!" Li Hao looked at Chen Bing and ordered with a serious face.
"Take two new recruits and guard here to prevent the little Japs from killing us after they retreat!"
"If they don't retreat and continue to attack, you must hold on until we come back and defend the mountain pass!"
"Others follow me, bring weapons, ammunition and dry food. Set off now, get behind the Japanese and continue to attack them!"
The Japanese army attacked the position, and the captain looked gloomy.
His whole face turned red because of his anger. Especially with his eyes that could almost spit out fire, no one dared to look at him. As long as he stared at him, they would subconsciously lower their heads and be frightened.
"Tell me again, how many soldiers do we have left?" The captain suppressed the anger in his heart and refused to let it out. He stared at the deputy captain and asked.
"How many casualties did we suffer in total in order to capture this mountain pass just now?"
"Hi!"
The vice-captain lowered his head and replied: "A total of 138 warriors were killed in the two attacks and the forward troops were raided, and 16 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness!"
"All the wounded have been brought back, and most of the bodies are still on the battlefield!"
"Our troops entering the mountains have a total of three infantry squadrons and one infantry squad, about 600 people."
"So far, 283 people have been killed in direct combat, 56 people have been seriously injured and have lost their combat effectiveness, and there are less than 270 people left who can continue to fight!"
"However, the more than 50 seriously injured people need more than a hundred people to carry them and take care of them. If we reduce them, we will not even have an infantry squadron to continue fighting!"
"Who can tell me how this battle ended like this!" The captain did not suppress his anger and turned into an angry lion, roaring loudly.
"When we entered the mountain, everyone thought that we would win this battle without any suspense. Now not only have we failed to win, and we have not found the seriously wounded Eighth Route Army soldiers, we have suffered heavy casualties ourselves! Can anyone tell me the reason?"
No matter which person the captain glances at, that person will immediately lower his head.
I was deeply afraid that my words would cause the captain to yell at me, and I would vent all my pent-up anger on myself.
