"Captain, there are Japs coming out again, at least several hundred of them!" Dong Xulin, the reconnaissance platoon leader, rushed over and reported.
Li Hao held up his binoculars and stared at the Japanese and puppet army station. Not only was there no smile on his face, but there was a look of solemnity on his face.
"It's hard to fight!" Li Hao replied with a long sigh.
"You see, the Japanese did not come out together. They divided their troops into three groups to attack us. No matter which group of troops was attacked, the other two groups could quickly circle around and attack our troops from both inside and outside!"
"The Japanese are becoming more and more cunning... Lao Hong, this time our guerrillas have met their opponents!"
Hong Linfeng was anxious: "What should we do? This is fat meat that is brought to your mouth, you have to eat it!"
"And Captain, if we don't kill them and let them follow us all the time, the artillery platoon will not be able to continue the bombardment!"
Li Hao answered with certainty: "I will definitely fight!"
"We finally managed to lure the Japanese and puppet troops out of the camp. How can they be worthy of the shells we fired just now if we don't shoot them?"
"How to fight!" Hong Linfeng asked with eagerness on his face.
"Divide our troops to fight. If the Japanese divide their troops, we will also divide our troops!" Li Hao ordered with a serious look on his face.
"The guard platoon, the recon platoon, the fourth platoon, the heavy machine gun squad of the fire platoon, and a light machine gun from each of the two light machine gun squads will come out and hit the Japanese and puppet troops on the left. I will personally direct it!"
"One platoon reinforced a squadron of three Czech-made light machine guns to attack the Japanese and puppet troops all the way to the right."
"The third platoon also strengthened the machine gun squad with three Czech-made machines to hit the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle!"
"Let's fight like this. The third platoon will first go up to them and fight them in an encounter, assume the posture of the main force, and then quickly retreat, taking the Japanese and puppet troops in the middle away from their base!"
"Then a platoon attacked and continuously attacked the right-wing Japanese and puppet troops, forcing them to disperse!"
"If the Japanese don't fall for the trick, we'll keep dragging them to beat them, dragging the fat ones thin, and then kill them!"
"If you are fooled, after the distance between them exceeds 500 meters, I will find an opportunity to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops on the left, and quickly end the battle!"
"Two platoons, one and three, blocked the other two Japanese and puppet troops from reinforcing and ambush the battlefield based on the gunfire on the battlefield!"
"If possible, after defeating the left-wing Japanese and puppet troops, I will bring people to kill them, reinforce you, and then kill all the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"We must seize such a good opportunity and kill more of them!"
"Get started now!"
Three lines of Japanese and puppet troops were distributed in a zigzag pattern, more than a hundred meters apart. They marched towards the artillery platoon's newly exposed position at a very fast speed.
In order to prevent the troops from getting separated, the troops would fire a gun every few dozen meters to inform neighboring troops of their position.
"Da da da……"
The Japanese and puppet troops in the middle who rushed forward were the first to be attacked.
Four machine guns fired at the same time, and the puppet soldiers at the front were beaten into sieves and fell to the ground.
"Enemy attack... everyone, get down quickly and fight back!"
The puppet army officer sandwiched in the middle of the team shouted loudly.
Although their combat effectiveness is not very good, their ability to save lives on the battlefield is still very good.
After a brief period of confusion, more than 200 puppet troops from two companies all fell to the ground.
The Japanese who were protected by them were dissatisfied. The purpose of letting the puppet troops attack was to strangle with the Eighth Route Army, stick them together, and buy time for the imperial army to counterattack.
Now that they are all lying on the ground, how can they stick to the Eighth Route Army?
If the Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to escape, trying to find them in the dark would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The Japanese team leader responded quickly and cursed with anger on his face: "Bagh Yalu, what are you doing lying down? I want to attack, and I don't want you to be a coward!"
"Attack immediately, rush up and strangle with the Eighth Route Army - kill them, or you will die!"
The puppet company commander could only bite the bullet and ordered: "Brothers, stand up... charge for me... kill an Eighth Route Army soldier, and you will be rewarded with ten yuan... There are not many Eighth Route Army soldiers. If you charge over, we will win!"
"Da da da……"
A string of bullets came over, and the three Japs who had just got up from the ground fell down. The other Japs were so frightened that they shrank back.
Immediately afterwards, the gunfire in front stopped, and dozens of figures retreated quickly under the cover of night.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us has retreated!" the puppet company commander reported with a happy face.
In his eyes, if the Eighth Route Army had escaped, he and his subordinates would not have to fight so hard.
The team leader's reaction was just the opposite, and he yelled: "Who told you to be a coward just now? Our mission is to kill the Eighth Route Army who sneaked up on us, not to be attacked by them in turn. Now that they have escaped, you have to bear all the consequences."
responsibility!"
"Why are you still standing there? Lead people to pursue them immediately. We must catch up with them!"
"We have three attack forces, which can support and cooperate with each other. We don't have to worry about the machinations of the eighth group!"
"Yes, Taijun!" The puppet company commander was confused.
But he heard the word "responsible" clearly.
In the eyes of the Japanese, I am just a dog. If I really hold myself responsible, I may be shot with the Japanese's ruthless methods.
Compared with his soldiers being killed by the Eighth Route Army, his own life and the Japanese's trust in him were obviously more important.
As soon as he recovered from the shock, he shouted to a group of subordinates: "What are you doing standing still? Give chase immediately!"
"Didn't you hear what the imperial army said just now? If the Eighth Route Army who attacked us just now escape, everyone will be responsible!"
"From now on, I will shoot anyone who runs slowly or is scared!"
The three-way attack formation that can alternately cover is like a reassurance, giving the little devil full confidence in the next pursuit.
The puppet troops, who numbered more than two hundred days, immediately started running, followed closely behind the third platoon and chased them out.
The marching speed of the Japanese and puppet troops on the left and right wings also accelerated rapidly, ready to outflank the Japanese and puppet troops that the center army was chasing at any time.
"Da da da……"
Suddenly a series of gunshots rang out around the right-wing Japanese and puppet troops, and a group of soldiers took action.
Four machine guns and more than thirty rifles fired together. Despite the cover of night, the Japanese and puppet soldiers huddled together were killed and wounded more than a dozen people.
"Enemy attack..."
The same actions of the center army were performed on the right wing attack troops.
"Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us has escaped. Should we chase them or continue to follow the attacking troops from the center and continue to charge forward!" the puppet company commander reported nervously.
The Japanese team leader hesitated for a long time before making a decision: "Ignore the sneak attack troops and continue to follow the attack troops in the middle. Our formation cannot be chaotic or dispersed!"
The Japanese and puppet troops quickly started running, but they only ran less than a hundred meters when the annoying gunfire rang out again.
There were still more than ten casualties, but this time there was an exception. Among the soldiers killed, there were two Japanese.
The second lieutenant was angry: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us just now must be back again. They are so cunning!"
The puppet company commander asked the same question again: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army ran away again. They retreated after being attacked. Should we catch up, otherwise we will be attacked by them along the way?"
This time the second lieutenant did not hesitate and ordered decisively: "Follow us! There are not many Eighth Route Army troops attacking us and they cannot threaten us."
"The center attack force and the left wing attack force volunteer to provide cover, so safety is no problem!"
