"The second squadron will stay to clean the battlefield and watch the prisoners. The third squadron will follow me to reinforce the platoon leader. They have to deal with a full squad of Japanese troops. The pressure must be very high!" The excited Hong Linfeng ordered decisively.
He held a crooked gun that had been captured by a Japanese soldier on the battlefield in his arms. After confirming that the bullets in the magazine were full, he slung it over his shoulder and rushed towards the battlefield.
Two rounds of more than twenty grenades exploded among the Japs, killing and injuring a large number of Japs who were still alive on the road in an instant.
The riflemen who were still alive all lay on the ground, hiding behind the corpses and shooting towards the mountainside.
After losing all the officers, no one on the chaotic highway could organize them to form an effective counterattack against the ambush troops on the mountainside. Everyone was fighting alone.
"There are not many Japs left on the highway! Continue to increase the firepower of the machine guns and kill them!" Li Hao raised his rifle and shouted while searching for shooting targets.
"Da da da... bang bang..."
On the highway, whenever a Japanese enemy fired a gun to fight back, at least one crooked weapon would immediately attack them.
Bullets were flying towards them like rain, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
"Platoon leader Li, there should be few little Japs on the highway. Rush over now and kill them all with bayonets!" Liu Wenshan, who was lying next to Li Hao, reminded.
Liu Wenshan, who was born in the Red Army, couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw several crooked machine guns continuously firing at the road, as if bullets were free of charge. After one round, they continued to fire the second round.
He had just used the crooked handle. In just a few minutes, he had fired at least a thousand rounds of bullets with the crooked handle.
With so many bullets, if used in the main force, it would be enough for a full infantry company to fight a medium-sized battle.
But in front of me, only one platoon of the Eighth Route Army used these bullets, and they used them in just a few minutes.
Li Hao shook his head and refused: "You can't rush now, there are still many little devils alive on the road!"
"Not only are they good at bayonet fighting, but they are not afraid of death and like to die with our soldiers."
"We have definitely won this battle, and I don't want to sacrifice the lives of soldiers just to save a few bullets."
"Pass my order, everyone should shoot at the little devils on the road, including the new recruits. This is the best opportunity to practice marksmanship, don't miss it!"
"Machine gun cover. If any Japanese soldiers fight back or want to run away, shoot them immediately!"
The battle was already over when Hong Linfeng rushed over with his men.
Looking at the corpses of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground in front of him, a dozen recruits with pale faces were sweeping the battlefield among the corpses while suppressing the feeling of vomiting. Hong Linfeng once again showed a heartfelt expression of admiration for Li Hao on his face.
The platoon leader is so awesome that it can be described as unfathomable.
A full infantry squad of the Japanese army was not only killed by a platoon of troops, a quick victory, but the platoon also contained half of the recruits.
"Report to the platoon leader that the battle on my side is over. Twenty-nine puppet troops have been captured and all other Japanese puppet troops have been killed! We sacrificed two soldiers and injured one person, all caused by the counterattack of the Japanese riflemen!"
"Their marksmanship was so good, and our firepower was so fierce that several riflemen only had one chance to shoot and were killed by us. But just these few shots, the bullets bit the flesh and caused three casualties of ours!"
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "They are indeed very powerful. You must know that we are still facing the Japanese local garrison and second-line troops. If they were first-line field troops, even if we would win in the end, the casualties would definitely be more than that!"
"There were also many casualties on my side. Three new recruits, two veterans died, and three others were injured. A total of eight casualties!"
"But we have captured twenty-nine prisoners. With them here, we can not only bring back all the wounded, but also all the captured prisoners!"
At the Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu County, where the original Shanxi-Sui Army garrison headquarters was located, the captain, Major Noda, was furious in his office.
Since entering Lingqiu County, with the assistance of the garrison battalion, the imperial army has fought and defeated several anti-Japanese armed forces in the territory.
For this he also received an award from the brigade headquarters.
Just when he was about to continue his efforts and kill the two Eighth Route Army armed forces in Lingqiu, the battle in Lijia'ao was like a wake-up call, directly breaking his dream, and might even make him the laughing stock of his colleagues.
More than a hundred Japanese troops and a company of puppet troops besieged dozens of Eighth Route Army troops, and a battle that was sure to win was lost.
Not only did the Japanese army suffer heavy casualties, the besieging Eighth Route Army was also rescued.
"Are you saying that an Eighth Route Army unit suddenly launched a surprise attack on you from behind? They are well-equipped and have five or six machine guns!" Noda asked, staring at the sergeant who came back to report the news.
"Hi!" Sergeant confirmed.
"There are fifty or sixty of them, and they are well-equipped. Each of them has a rifle equipped by us, and the grenades we use are hung on their waists. The machine guns we use are also crooked. Many of them wear military uniforms like us, but they are just dismantled.
Lost our logo!"
Seeing that Major Noda was subconsciously preparing to get angry, the colonel leader of the puppet army standing by suddenly spoke.
"Sir, I think this is our chance!"
"If I guess correctly, this Eighth Route Army must be the other Eighth Route Army we have been looking for!"
"The equipment on them was also seized from our main force."
"After such a long time, we have never been able to find the specific location where they were hiding in the mountains. Now that we have finally walked out of the mountains, we can just take this opportunity to kill these two Eighth Route Army troops in one fell swoop!"
"As long as we kill them, all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Lingqiu will be eliminated. Sir, you will definitely be commended by the brigade headquarters!"
"Yoshi!" The anger on Major Noda's face disappeared and was slowly covered by a smile.
After looking at the map and thinking for half a minute, I started to give orders.
"Lijia'ao is nearly 30 kilometers away from the mountain where the Eighth Route Army is hiding. They have brought a large number of seriously injured people, and there are more than 100 of us harassing them along the way. They will definitely not be able to move fast, and they will not be able to enter the mountain before dark."
"There are still four hours until dark, we still have time!"
"Order: The cavalry detachment is dispatched immediately and marches quickly to catch up with the Eighth Route Army. Kill them if you can. If you can't, hold them back."
"The second squadron of the garrison, the first squadron of the artillery, and the first squadron of the heavy machine gun form a reinforced squadron. Captain Tanaka serves as the commander-in-chief. The vehicle transport team in the city is responsible for transporting them to the battlefield. The sooner the better!"
"Captain Zhou, you were right just now. Since the Eighth Route Army has come out of the mountain, we will seize the opportunity to kill them outside the mountain! Tell the attacking troops to kill them at all costs!"
After his opinion was recognized by his Japanese master, Zhou Yunian immediately became happy and said with excitement: "Sir, I humbly lead two battalions of troops into the mountains now, find their secret camp hidden in the mountains, and then kill them!"
"In order to reinforce Lijia'ao, all their available troops must have gone. Now there are a group of seriously injured people in the mountain, without any ability to resist. We'd better find them before they get the news that the main force has been killed, and eliminate them completely.
To avoid future troubles, lest they hear the news and move away!"
The smile on Major Noda's face grew wider, and he immediately replied: "Very good, Commander Zhou, I admire your loyalty to the Japanese Empire. Go ahead and kill them. I will personally ask for credit from you, General, and let you
Regiment commander promoted to brigade commander!"
"In addition, I will order the Hongquan Village garrison to deploy artillery squads and heavy machine gun squads to cooperate with you to strengthen your firepower and put them under your command!"
"Thank you, sir!" The smile on Zhou Yunian's face became even wider.
