A string of machine gun fire sounded in the woods on both sides of the road.
The bullets flew out of the woods, fanned down towards the road, and finally penetrated into the bodies of the Japanese and puppet soldiers.
"Baga! Enemy attack, counterattack with fire immediately!" the nearest Japanese squadron leader shouted loudly.
The Japanese machine gunner quickly fell to the ground, crooked his handle and started to fire, and the bullets flew towards the forest as if they were costless.
"Sir, the machine gun that attacked us has stopped firing!" the deputy lying next to the squadron leader reminded.
"Yo Xi!" the squadron leader replied with a sigh of relief: "We just had eight machine guns firing together, and the opponent only had five machine guns. Even if we didn't kill them, they were beaten back!"
"The machine gunners stopped shooting, the wounded and bodies were handed over to the Imperial Army for transportation, and we continued to move forward!"
"Hi……"
Just as the adjutant got up and was about to give the order, another shot was fired in the woods.
"Bang bang...bang bang bang..."
There were only a few gunshots, and they were fired from rifles, but they triggered several screams.
The adjutant was not spared either. As soon as his upper body was exposed, a bullet penetrated his chest, passed through his chest, and flew out from the back of his heart.
"Counterattack, there is still the Eighth Route Army in the woods!" the squadron leader became angry, staring at the woods with a pair of eyes that could almost breathe fire, and shouted with a ferocious look on his face.
"Da da da……"
The sound of machine gun fire started again, but this time only four crooked guns fired immediately. It was not until they finished shooting two magazines that the remaining four crooked guns joined the battle one after another.
Those who are careful can notice that, without exception, there are corpses lying upside down next to the four crooked handles that later joined the battle.
"Retreat!" Xiao Yuan ordered on the top of the mountain, holding up his telescope.
Next to him, Chen Wei also held a telescope in his hand. A satisfied smile flashed across his face and he replied: "With machine gun fire, we have killed at least twelve little Japs in this round of sneak attacks!"
"It also includes four machine gunners and an officer. It should be a good start!"
Xiao Yuan affirmed: "First give the Japanese a show of strength, and then slowly deal with them!"
"Captain Chen, ask your comrades to withdraw immediately. The Japanese armored vehicles are coming. The armored vehicles have heavy machine guns and small cannons. Everyone's hiding place may not be safe!"
"Da da da... boom boom..."
The two overcoming armored vehicles started shooting as soon as they entered the effective range.
The firepower of one truck-mounted heavy machine gun is at least equivalent to three crooked guns.
The whizzing bullets flew into the forest, and in the blink of an eye, a gap was made in the dense branches, leaves and shrubs in the forest.
The small vehicle-mounted cannon also fired, and two shells hit the mountainside, instantly sending up two plumes of black smoke.
The machine guns and cannons fired for a full minute before they stopped.
At this time, the forest where the machine gunner was hiding had been beaten to pieces. Even if someone was hiding, they would be beaten into sieves and blown into pieces!
Seeing the Japs resuming their march under the escort of armored vehicles, the smile on Xiao Yuan's face disappeared and he said solemnly: "The armored vehicles are so powerful, invulnerable, with fierce firepower, and they also have cannons. As long as they are here, we
Sooner or later there will be casualties!”
Chen Wei replied with a lingering fear on his face: "It was almost just now!"
"One shell missed and almost cost me a machine gun crew!"
"Fortunately, everyone reacted quickly and lay down on the ground in time. In addition, the small cannon shells were not very powerful, and most of the shrapnel was blocked by the tree trunks, so they survived. If the shells that fell were medium-sized mortar shells equipped by the Japanese
, both of them must have died!"
Xiao Yuan replied calmly: "We must find a way to kill an armored vehicle and give Watanabe a show of strength so that the armored vehicle will no longer be so arrogant!"
Chen Wei shook his head and replied: "How to fight!"
"The light and heavy machine gun bullets hitting it will leave at most a white spot, just like scratching an itch!"
"Even if a mortar shell hits the body, it will only leave a dent, and there is no way to break through the protective steel plate. Unless we use a mountain cannon to shoot directly at close range, there is nothing we can do with the armored vehicle!"
Xiao Yuan replied confidently: "There must be a way!"
"Think about it carefully. I remember that after learning that Lingqiu was equipped with armored vehicles, the battalion commander specially called all the cadres in the battalion to discuss how to deal with it!"
"Mine!"
Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"I remember the battalion commander said that although an armored vehicle is powerful and invulnerable, its chassis is its weakest point!"
"As long as the power of the landmine is strong enough, a landmine can blast through the chassis of an armored vehicle!"
Chen Wei shook his head and retorted: "But we don't have such powerful mines at all!"
"The battalion headquarters has made homemade mines in the past few months, either earth mines or stone mines. It is okay to kill Japanese infantry in the open, but it is impossible to destroy armored vehicles!"
Xiao Yuan replied confidently: "If we don't have it, we'll make it ourselves!"
"Don't forget that our commando team has artillery and brought a lot of artillery shells. We can use soil mines and mortar shells combined to create a powerful mine!"
Three armored vehicles walked in the front, more than ten meters apart from each other. Behind the armored vehicles were a Japanese cavalry squad, an infantry squad, and a company of puppet troops. A total of more than 200 Japanese puppet troops plus an armored detachment formed the forward force. The distance behind them was
The main force is about 500 meters.
There were a total of five Japanese soldiers in the armored vehicle, a driver, two gunners, and two machine gunners. They were all staring out through the shooting holes, looking wary.
If the troops are attacked, they will definitely bear the brunt and be the first to be attacked. Maybe they will be killed without their opponents even seeing it!
They didn't want to die in an unknown situation, so everyone focused their attention on the surroundings.
Whenever anything unusual is discovered, a barrage of heavy machine gun bullets will be fired to minimize the danger.
"Bangdang..."
The sound of an emergency brake along with the sound of impact reached the ears of several Japanese soldiers. The front wheel of the wheeled armored vehicle crashed into a deep ditch covered with loose soil on the road, making it unable to move.
The huge inertia caused several Japanese soldiers standing in the carriage to almost fall and eat their shit.
"Baga, the road has been destroyed and the ditch is too deep for us to rush through!" the commander and gunner shouted angrily.
"Immediately contact the infantry at the back to come and repair the road. Others will be on guard to prevent the enemy from sneak attacks!"
The Japanese who were following the armored body did not dare to neglect after receiving the news, and immediately rushed over with a platoon of Imperial Army troops.
A dozen Japanese soldiers gathered around the armored vehicle, rifles in hand, staring at the surroundings with vigilance.
More than thirty Imperial Army soldiers carried shovels and began to fill in the deep ditch.
"boom……"
The booby trap that the armored vehicle did not detonate happened to be stepped on by a Japanese infantryman who came over and detonated.
The moment the grenade shells went off, three mortar shells tied together and equipped with fuzes were detonated.
A violent explosion suddenly sounded, and flames mixed with a large amount of black smoke immediately emerged from the bottom of the armored vehicle.
The heavy armored vehicle was overturned directly by the huge air wave, and a huge gap was torn open in the chassis.
The five Japanese armored soldiers never expected that there would be an explosion beneath their feet.
The moment several people were killed by the explosion, there were expressions of incredible shock on their faces.
Three cannonballs exploded at the same time, and the huge power can be imagined.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers surrounding the armored vehicle were not spared either. The sudden explosion gave them no time to react and they were unable to hide.
Those who were lucky were killed and injured, while those who were unlucky were directly smashed into pulp by the overturned armored vehicle. It was terrible!
