A flash of nervousness flashed across Zhou Yunian's solemn face, and he shouted loudly: "Nothing can happen to the Japanese on the highlands!"
"Something happened to them. We can't explain it to Commander Noda when we return to the county seat. We will still be punished by the Japanese."
"Where is the Sixth Company? Let the Sixth Company rush over immediately to reinforce the Japanese and puppet troops on the high ground."
"There is also Wulian. What does Huang Sheng do for a living? I asked him to protect the Japanese and he did so. If anything happens to the Japanese, I will take the blame on him!"
The chief of staff kept staring at the high ground behind him, and a look of dumbfounded shock suddenly appeared on his anxious face.
Then he shouted with a look of despair: "It's over! Tuanzao, the Japanese on the highlands are over!"
"Five consecutive Huang Sheng failed to protect the Japanese and even beat them. They rebelled!"
"Boom boom boom..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense and violent explosion came over.
Dozens of grenades hit the high ground and exploded at the same time. The rising smoke and fireball quickly covered the high ground.
At this time, the fool also understood that the Japanese on the high ground were finished.
With no trenches to hide in and completely exposed to the damage range of grenade fragments, their chance of survival was almost zero.
"I want to kill Huang Sheng and kill him with my own hands. How dare you rebel? How disrespectful are you of me?" Zhou Yunian's anger suddenly emerged and he yelled at the battlefield.
He pulled out his pistol and started giving orders to the fourth company commander beside him.
"Fourth Company is also coming, and together with Sixth Company, we will counterattack the high ground, capture the rebellious Fifth Company for me, and capture that bastard Huang Sheng alive. I will cut him into pieces!"
More than two hundred puppet troops rushed towards the high ground one after another, getting closer and closer.
Zhou Yunian no longer cared about the frontal battlefield at this time, his eyes fixed on the high ground already occupied by Huang Sheng.
The Japanese on the high ground died because of Huang Sheng. He had to take the high ground and kill Huang Sheng, otherwise he would not be able to give an explanation to the Japanese.
Two companies faced Huang Sheng's one company, and it was a dissatisfied company. In his opinion, this battle was a sure win and there would be no surprises.
But he ignored an opponent, the Eighth Route Army hiding behind the Japanese.
Seeing the Sixth Company getting closer and closer to the high ground, a rare smile appeared on Zhou Yunian's solemn face, thinking that his troops were already victorious in taking Huang Sheng.
"Da da da……"
The dull sound of heavy machine gun fire broke his sweet dream.
"It's the Eighth Route Army, regimental seat. The Eighth Route Army used heavy machine guns equipped by the Japanese to shoot at us, as well as several light machine guns." The desperate chief of staff was the first to react.
"Their counterattack firepower was so fierce that our offensive troops simply couldn't charge forward!"
"Retreat!" Zhou Yunian ordered with a look of unwillingness.
The troops have suffered enough losses since entering the mountain. If the Fourth Company and the Sixth Company are also killed, then he will really be the end of his position as the regimental commander.
The retreat order also gave the staff officer a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the leader didn't kill anyone and maintained some sense, otherwise these two companies would definitely be doomed.
But when he thought about the future of himself and the entire army, his desperate face turned anxious again.
The heavy machine guns and mortars that coordinated the operation were gone, and more than half of the troops were lost, and everyone was still in the woods controlled by the Eighth Route Army.
Maybe everyone won't be able to get out.
The chief of staff became more and more desperate as he thought about it, and then he couldn't help but ask.
"Tuanzu, what should we do next?"
"Retreat, no more fighting, everyone retreats, just get out of the forest, let's go back!" Zhou Yunian still had a look of unwillingness and he answered helplessly.
Forced by the situation, without the cover of heavy machine guns and mortars, the possibility of taking the mountain pass was zero.
Moreover, even if the mountain pass is captured, there will be no troops to continue the attack.
Although the Eighth Route Army hiding in the woods also lost a lot of troops, they obtained all the heavy weapons that the Japanese brought into the mountains. As long as they can use these heavy weapons, their strength will definitely not decrease but increase.
Zhou Yunian was not a fool, and he figured it out at once: the strength of the enemy and ours was ebbing and flowing, and if we continued to attack, he might end up explaining this.
In order to survive and to maintain his current status, he had to evacuate here as soon as possible.
On the high ground, Li Hao personally controlled a Type 92 heavy machine gun.
A machine gun sub-shooter squatted nearby to feed ammunition, inserting bullets filled with bullets into the upper chamber to ensure the continuity of the heavy machine gun's firepower.
"Captain, the puppet troops have retreated!"
Chen Bing, who was controlling another heavy machine gun, shouted while holding the fire.
"Did you see the Japs supervising team two hundred meters away? Let's fight them next. They are the only Japs left in the forest. Kill them!" Li Hao shouted with his eyes shining.
The high ground where the Japanese troops were stationed was attacked, and the second lieutenant who commanded and supervised the battle team saw it immediately.
But he didn't immediately take anyone to the rescue.
There are still more than 60 soldiers and heavy machine guns on the high ground, so a normal attack cannot succeed.
Moreover, the puppet army behind them has already sent two infantrymen to kill them, so it would be a bit unnecessary to go there by yourself.
It is better to stay here, continue to supervise the attacking troops, and force them to capture the Eighth Route Army positions on the mountainside in one attack.
But the battlefield changed so quickly that he felt dizzy.
In the blink of an eye, the high ground was attacked, and all the Japanese troops were killed. In such a hurry, he didn't even have a chance to react.
At first, he thought of cooperating with the puppet army to retake the high ground.
The renewed sound of heavy machine guns on the high ground not only broke Zhou Yunian's dream, but also shattered his idea of taking back the high ground.
With only this small force, the Eighth Route Army has heavy machine guns. Not only is it unable to recapture the high ground, but self-protection may also be a problem.
The second lieutenant was not stupid and immediately thought of retreating.
Now that there is no heavy machine gun and mortar cover, a group of light infantrymen, even if they are all exhausted, can't do anything to the machine gun bunkers built by the Eighth Route Army on the mountainside.
His opponent Li Hao reacted faster. Before the second lieutenant's idea of retreat could be put into action, two tongues of fire flew towards him.
The two soldiers were instantly punched with two big holes in their bodies and fell to the ground without making a sound.
The second lieutenant was shocked. He knew very well the power of the heavy machine gun. If he was hit by a heavy machine gun bullet, his arms and legs would be broken at the least, or his life would be lost at the worst.
His face instantly turned pale, and at the same time, he subconsciously threw himself to the ground, and then shouted loudly.
"Baga, the Eighth Route Army is so despicable that they used the heavy machine guns they captured to shoot at us. Everyone, please disperse and take cover!"
You can't hide from the bullets falling from the sky even if you lie down on the ground.
Two tongues of fire shot back and forth between them, reaping every life from them.
The second lieutenant became anxious and continued to shout: "Retreat, everyone retreat, get out of the heavy machine gun range."
Nearly twenty Japanese soldiers retreated like lost dogs. At this moment, no trace of the elite could be seen on them.
But no matter how fast they were, they couldn't beat the speed of bullets. Japs were constantly killed by the bullets chasing them and fell to the ground.
"Retreat!" Zhou Yunian was also anxious and shouted loudly.
Both he and the Japanese were within the effective range of the heavy machine guns. After the Eighth Route Army defeated the Japanese, they would definitely attack him next. He knew this very well.
