A gunshot rang out in the woods on the left side of the mountain road. The Japanese lieutenant who was walking in the middle of the team fell down at the sound. A hole was punched in his chest, and blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly dyeing his uniform red.
"Enemy attack... click, click, click..."
Before the Japanese screamed, intensive machine gun fire started.
More than twenty light and heavy machine guns were lined up in a row, and bullets were fired from the muzzles at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese and puppet troops flew over from the flank, densely packed with four to five hundred rounds of bullets. And almost all of these bullets were concentrated on more than a hundred Japanese soldiers.
They are just baggage troops. Although their combat effectiveness is stronger than many Chinese armies, they are still far behind the real field elites.
He was caught off guard and was attacked by fire. He had no time to lie down and take cover. He was like a living target and was swept into a hornet's nest by the flying bullets.
In addition, their battlefield reaction speed was half a beat slower than that of real elites, so more soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.
In less than three seconds, a row of little Japs near the left side of the mountain road were all killed.
The Japs on the right side of the mountain road also suffered more than half of their casualties.
Although those who were lucky enough to survive quickly fell to the ground, the bullets flying overhead were so dense that they had no chance to even raise their heads, let alone fight back.
And even if they lie on the ground, they may not be safe.
The machine gun firepower occupies an absolute advantage in the terrain, firing at them from a high position, with their backs completely exposed to the muzzle of the gun.
Amidst the intensive gunfire, a lying Japanese soldier was repeatedly shot in the back, and then lay motionless on the ground!
"The bugler blows the charge bugle and starts the attack!" When the Japanese were almost dead, Li Hao seized the opportunity and ordered.
"Comrades, rush with me!" Hong Linfeng took the lead and was the first to rush out.
"Hand in your guns and don't kill~Chinese people don't fight Chinese people!"
"Kill..."
More than a hundred soldiers followed closely behind, shouting various slogans and rushing out very fast.
The surviving Japanese troops were swept away by the autumn wind like fallen leaves, and were instantly submerged in the attacking crowd of more than a hundred soldiers. The surviving puppet soldiers did not resist as usual, and dropped their guns and knelt on the ground to surrender.
On the highway, as soon as the attacking troops set off, the rapid artillery fire stopped after firing five rounds of artillery shells.
Looking at the battlefield with constant screams behind him, Captain Sato got up from the ground with a very ugly expression on his face.
If it weren't for the purpose of protecting the baggage and ammunition and falling into the Eighth Route Army's plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, he would have been tempted to kill and pay blood for blood.
But now I can only endure it, frowning and ordering: "Treat the wounded immediately, get two large trucks out, and take them to Lingqiu County for treatment!"
"The bodies will stay where they are, and we will take them home after we complete our mission!"
After saying that, Captain Sato turned his attention to the attacking troops slowly disappearing on the mountain road.
Although this time the bombardment is over, no one can guarantee that there will not be another one.
The best and permanent solution is to kill them and completely eliminate this hidden danger.
Two infantry squads of the Imperial Army and one company of the Imperial Association Army were fighting in broad daylight. Captain Sato was confident that they would successfully complete the mission and withdraw safely.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
The sudden sound of gunfire from the direction where the attacking troops disappeared made his heart skip a beat, and a very bad premonition came to his mind.
"Sir, there is so much gunfire, at least twenty light and heavy machine guns are firing at the same time!" a squad leader warned carefully.
"Bagaya Road, we are still fooled!" Captain Sato's face turned pale again, and he shouted with a look of pain.
"This is a tactic that the Eighth Route Army is good at luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, rather than trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
"The attacking troops are in danger. The Eighth Route Army's real target is them, not us!"
"Commander, immediately catch up with the attacking troops and ask them to retreat. I don't want to hear the bad news that they were killed by the Eighth Route Army~
"Hi~"
The messengers chased him out like a storm.
"Da da da……"
The increasingly dense gunshots in the forest made Captain Sato's face become even more ugly.
After finally waiting for the gunfire to end, the messenger who rushed back in rough clothes did not help him bring back the attacking troops. Instead, he brought back bad news that made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood on the spot.
"Sir, the attacking troops were attacked by the Eighth Route Army and were completely destroyed. The battlefield was littered with the corpses of the imperial army, layer upon layer. It was really tragic!"
"Dozens of people from the Imperial Alliance Army also died, and the rest are missing~"
"Also, all the weapons and ammunition on the battlefield are gone!"
"It's over!" Captain Sato shouted with despair.
"More than half of the escort troops suffered casualties in the first battle. This place is still forty or fifty kilometers away from Lingqiu County. The Eighth Route Army will definitely not let us pass easily!"
After saying that, Captain Sato frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a few seconds, his eyes lit up and he made a decision: "Ono-kun, you immediately lead ten imperial troops to Lingqiu and tell Lieutenant Colonel Watanabe that we are being attacked by the Eighth Route Army along the way and ask him to send troops to respond!"
"Let's move on and march towards Lingqiu!"
"In this way, we only need to walk 30 kilometers alone from Lingqiu, which is more than 40 kilometers away. As long as we walk there and join the supporting troops, we will be safe!"
In the woods a few hundred meters away, Hong Linfeng was reporting the results of the battle to Li Hao with excitement on his face.
"Company commander, one hundred and thirteen little devils, ninety-eight puppet soldiers, we will kill them all without missing a single one!"
"All the Japanese were killed, 19 of the puppet soldiers died, and the remaining 79 were captured by us!"
"Through interrogation of the captured puppet troops, we can confirm that the total number of Japanese and puppet troops escorting the ammunition is only more than 200 people!"
"Including a company of puppet troops, a squadron of baggage supplies, and a squadron of mountain artillery!"
"I think we can take action now. As long as we choose a good position, we will definitely be able to eat them easily!"
Li Hao had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Without saying any nonsense, he answered decisively: "Then fight!"
"Isn't there a mountain road suitable for an ambush five kilometers ahead? Let's start there!"
"The platoon suffered the most casualties, stay and watch the prisoners, take the captured ones to the assembly area and stand by!"
"The others brought enough ammunition and set off with me, marching quickly to get in front of the Japanese to prepare pocket formations!"
The Japanese army marched very quickly, with a total of nineteen heavy transport vehicles and six mountain cannons.
Even though a platoon of guards kept blocking the road and harassing them, the five kilometers still took less than an hour and a half.
However, this little time is enough for the independent company to prepare a pocket formation for them.
Including the ones captured just now, there were a total of twenty-seven light machine guns, all loaded with bullets, and placed in a row on the mountainside next to the highway, with the muzzles pointed at the highway.
Two heavy machine guns are arranged on the top of the mountain, commanding the sky, ensuring that the firepower of the heavy machine guns can cover the entire ambush battlefield!
