The Japanese captain at the foot of the mountain was stunned. There were actually three machine guns on the mountainside. This meant that the strength of the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside was not reduced at all compared to before.
With a sudden flash of skill, the attacking team killed and wounded several more people.
The captain immediately shouted: "Retreat, cover with grenade fire, and the attacking troops will immediately retreat. There are not many Eighth Route Army troops on the mountainside!"
"Organize the troops to retreat immediately. All of us must retreat. March out of this mountain. The sooner the better!"
"I finally understand. The Eighth Route Army here is too cunning. We don't understand them at all. If we continue to stay in the woods, our casualties will increase. Even if we kill them in the end, we will suffer heavy casualties, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"
"In just a few days, we have suffered casualties in two infantry squadrons in the woods. If these soldiers were placed on the frontal battlefield, they could kill at least one infantry regiment of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, or even two regiments. It would be too much to die here.
loss!"
The deputy captain was very happy that the captain could calm down in time and immediately replied: "I will make arrangements now. As long as the attacking troops retreat, they can retreat in half an hour at most!"
"If we return to the original route and make a rapid retreat, we will definitely be able to get out of the woods before dark."
"Bang... da da da... boom boom..."
Rifles, light machine guns with crooked handles, grenades, and special grenades for grenades were with the Japanese all day long.
Li Hao was very smart and tried his best to injure the Japanese.
Wounding one was equivalent to losing the combat effectiveness of three Japanese soldiers. In addition, the Japanese soldiers were carrying stretchers. Even if they wanted to rush forward, they would not be able to move forward unless they decided to dump all the seriously injured soldiers in the woods.
The captain didn't dare, and his subordinates wouldn't agree either.
If you really do this, your position as captain will really end.
"Platoon leader, it's getting dark, and it will take at least three hours for the little devil to walk out of the mountain!" Hong Linfeng reported while breathing heavily.
After running around with the Japs, they walked almost twice as much as the Japs at the end of the day. It was impossible not to get tired.
"Comrades, thank you for your hard work!" Li Hao replied.
"Although we are all tired, our goal of sneak attack on the Japanese has been achieved!"
"According to the pace at which the Japanese marched at the beginning, they have now walked out of the mountains."
"But under our sneak attacks along the way, not only did they not get out of the mountain, but they also found more than 20 lightly and seriously injured people, causing more than 50 Japanese soldiers to give up fighting and carry stretchers!"
Seeing smiles on the tired faces of several soldiers, Li Hao changed the subject and continued.
"However, at the end of the whole day, although we killed and wounded many little Japanese, we did not seize a 38-meter cover, a bullet, or a grenade. I wonder if the comrades have noticed it!"
Hong Linfeng immediately thought of what the platoon leader said when the Japanese army retreated: "At least get the used ammunition back from the Japanese!"
Then his eyes lit up and he asked.
"Platoon leader, do you have a way to snatch the equipment and ammunition from the kid?"
"You don't know, I followed the kid all the way and made sneak attacks all the way. Every time I saw the weapons and ammunition on the kid's back, I became very jealous and wanted to rush over and grab them for myself!"
"I'm jealous too!" Li Hao didn't hide his inner thoughts and answered directly.
Then he began to issue orders: "The Japs will leave the mountain in three hours. If we don't grab weapons and ammunition, we will have no time. So I decided that in these last three hours, we have only one task: to force the Japs to leave more weapons and ammunition."
In the woods."
"Comrades, hold on for another three hours. When we win, I will give you two days off to have a good rest, and you will have enough white flour steamed buns and pork tubes every day!"
In order to ensure the marching speed, the Japanese soldiers carrying the wounded were rotated every hour.
Even so, after marching for seven or eight consecutive hours, they were still panting from exhaustion.
The captain walked in the middle of the team, looking at the sky slowly darkening in front of him, and was very anxious.
The Eighth Route Army's sneak attacks have never stopped during the day, and at night, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attacks will definitely become more frequent.
What's more important is that because there were so many casualties during the day, the troops no longer had enough manpower to carry the wounded who might appear next.
There is only one way to solve this problem, quickly leave the mountain at your feet.
Once you enter the plains, your troops' advantages in strength and firepower can be brought into play.
By then the Eighth Route Army, no matter how powerful it is, will not be able to threaten us.
As long as they dare to come, he will send troops to kill them to vent his hatred.
"The troops must speed up. If we rush out of the forest, we can survive! From now on, the troops have only one goal and rush out at all costs!" the captain ordered as he ran.
At this moment, except for the difference between his military uniform and his subordinates, there is no difference in other aspects.
"Da da da……"
The familiar sound of machine gun fire sounded again, right behind him.
The captain seemed to be on a stimulant, and his pace suddenly accelerated.
Bullets have no eyes, and it is night again. Even if I am the captain, the bullets will not go around. A shuttle of bullets will still kill me.
What the captain didn't expect was that this time the Eighth Route Army no longer attacked the infantry they were protecting on both sides of the wounded, but instead attacked their Japanese soldiers carrying weapons and ammunition.
There were nearly 600 Japs who entered the mountain, and now there were more than two infantry squadrons killed and wounded, and there were more than 200 more rifles alone.
There were more crooked machine guns, twenty in total.
Every battle Li Hao fought in the woods was a surprise attack. When he retreated, he could only take away a small amount of weapons and ammunition, most of which were left on the battlefield and were eventually taken back by the Japanese.
Among them, there are at least ten light machine guns, at least 150 rifles, almost all grenades and more than two-thirds of the ammunition.
The ammunition was carried on stretchers by a small group of Japanese soldiers, who marched behind the wounded.
What Li Hao just raided was the last stretcher, with ten rifles and ten armed belts tied to it.
Gunshots rang out, and the two Japanese soldiers carrying the stretcher fell to the ground.
The stretcher carried by the two men crashed to the ground together, and the weapons and ammunition tied to it were scattered all over the place.
The two Japanese soldiers who were protecting him subconsciously rushed over and tied the weapons and ammunition on the ground to the stretcher with their hands and feet, trying to carry the stretcher forward.
"Da da da……"
Another series of machine gun fire sounded, dozens of meters away from the location where the gunshots were fired.
The two Japanese men who were squatting on the ground picking up guns fell to the ground without saying a word.
Four Japanese soldiers were killed and injured in succession for ten rifles. The fool also knew that these weapons on the ground were targeted by the Eighth Route Army.
Compared with those weapons and ammunition, the lives of subordinates are obviously more important.
A second lieutenant and team leader nearby happened to see this scene and made a decisive decision.
"Everyone's life is important. Don't worry about the weapons and ammunition on the ground. Keep moving forward. Only by rushing out of the forest can we survive!"
The squad leader did not expect that his order would spread throughout the entire team immediately.
Li Hao, who chased them all the way, also received a large amount of weapons and ammunition because of this order, laying the foundation for the subsequent rise of the army.
