"Throw grenades and prepare to retreat!" Li Zhiyong ordered with a heartbroken look on his face when he saw that there were less than ten subordinates left in the third blocking position of the defensive row!
"Boom boom boom..."
Eight grenades exploded in the middle of the Japanese attacking troops, setting off a large amount of black smoke, and the five Japanese soldiers were blown over instantly without being able to defend themselves!
Seeing the other Japs lying on the ground subconsciously, Li Zhiyong seized the opportunity and ordered: "Retreat, everyone who can still move retreat with me!"
"Stay with the wounded and follow me to continue throwing grenades to cover the platoon leader's retreat!" the second squad leader, whose thigh was broken by a grenade, ordered through gritted teeth!
After saying that, he threw a grenade out, then took out the last grenade, held it in his hand, and waited for the Japanese to rush up and die with them!
"Bang bang...ta da da..."
The two soldiers had just climbed up from behind the bunker. Before they could turn around, gunshots rang out from behind a row of soldiers!
The two soldiers fell down in response, with several blood holes appearing on their backs. The blood that poured out dyed the uniforms near the wounds red in the blink of an eye!
"No, we are surrounded by little devils!" Li Zhiyong shouted, his face turning pale!
"Platoon leader, a small group of Japanese soldiers came out from behind us. We can't evacuate this small group of people at all!" the third squad leader reported anxiously, with despair on his face!
"Then let's fight the Japanese here." Li Zhiyong quickly made a decision.
Then he added with a murderous expression: "We have killed enough little devils in the past two days, and we have already earned enough. Now we will earn one for each more we kill!"
"Order the comrades to disperse immediately, prepare grenades and hand grenades, wait for the Japanese to rush in and greet them with grenades, and then fight with them with bayonets. Finally, don't forget to leave a grenade for yourself. At the last moment, you and the Japanese will die together, even if you sacrifice.
You have to recruit a little devil to support you!"
"Yes, Platoon Commander!"
The few remaining subordinates were scattered and hidden around Li Zhiyong, holding grenades in their hands, waiting quietly for the Japanese to approach, with a farewell expression!
The Japanese are getting closer and closer, and everyone can clearly see the facial expressions of the Japanese, preparing to face the last moment!
"Da da da……"
The familiar sound of machine gun fire rang out, and it was right behind the Japanese!
Then I saw the little devils nearby falling to the ground one after another.
"It's the squad leader. We are here with the squad leader and the main reinforcements!" Seeing the squad leader holding a crooked handle behind the Japanese and charging at the enemy, Li Zhiyong's face quickly showed a surprised expression of surviving the disaster.
shouted excitedly!
The squad leader took the lead and charged at the front, followed by a few remaining soldiers from the squad, holding rifles in their hands, firing as they charged, and then the main force of the company rushed over in a line of skirmishers, totaling more than a hundred in total.
people.
The Japanese outflanking troops were suddenly attacked, and from behind. By the time they reacted, an infantry squad had already suffered more than half its casualties.
Li Zhiyong also reacted at this time and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Comrades, our reinforcements are coming. Throw out all the grenades and grenades on your body, throw them behind you, and then break out and retreat!"
At the foot of the mountain, Lieutenant Commander Yuwen’s reaction was also very quick!
Seeing a large number of Eighth Route Army troops suddenly appear behind the outflanking troops, I immediately realized that the outflanking troops I had sent were finished!
But he didn't show much anger on his face, instead he looked excited!
More and more Eighth Route Army troops came forward to stop me, which showed that the actions in front of me really hit the weak point of the Independent Regiment!
Immediately ordered: "The artillery will fire immediately to cover the newly emerged Eighth Route Army with artillery fire. This is an excellent opportunity to kill a large number of Eighth Route Army. We must not let it go!"
The adjutant was stunned for a moment and reminded: "But sir, there are still our detour troops in that area!"
"Baga, didn't you see that few people in the roundabout force have been killed? If we can severely damage the Eighth Route Army that just emerged, even if the whole army in the roundabout army is wiped out, it will be a worthy death. Execute the order, fire now!"
"Rumble..."
Explosions soon sounded halfway up the mountain. Eighth Route Army troops were blown away one after another and fell to the ground with screams!
The only thing they were lucky about was that this was a mountainous area with complex and rugged terrain, which greatly reduced the power of the artillery shells!
In the end, Li Zhiyong successfully retreated with only five men, and the reinforcements brought by the first squadron also lost nearly a platoon. However, an infantry squad of the Japanese outflanking troops was severely damaged by the first company, so it was a draw!
"Report to the company commander that I didn't fight well. Once the squad was eliminated, only these few people were left!" Li Zhiyong reported with a heartbroken look on his face when he saw the company commander!
The company commander shook his head and replied: "No, you fought very well! I know everything about the situation. With less than one platoon of troops, we managed to slow down the puppet army's attack for nearly two thousand days. This can definitely be called a miracle.
!”
"Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives are all good people and heroes!"
"You take one platoon to rest next to it, and then let the other two platoons come up to continue blocking the Japanese army and buy time for the villagers to move!"
Half an hour later, the battlefield was less than five kilometers away from where the people were hiding!
According to the speed of the Japanese army's desperate advance, they can kill them in forty minutes at most!
The company had a full strength of 150 people, but now there are only more than 60 people left, with more than half of them casualties, and they were all direct sacrifices!
At the critical moment, the guerrillas who entered the mountains to relocate the people came back.
"Report to Company Commander Zhang that all the villagers have been relocated. They are all safe and the troops can retreat!" the guerrilla leader rushed over and reported!
"God help me, you guerrillas came at the right time, otherwise the whole company would have to deal with this!" Lian replied with a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he followed the order!
"But there is no need to retreat. The Japanese just killed so many of us. We must avenge this!"
"Comrades, since the villagers have been safely transferred, we don't have to continue to hold on to the Japanese! I order the troops to disperse immediately in platoon units, and use the favorable terrain under our feet and the guerrilla warfare we are good at to freely attack the Japanese!"
"Just now we had to carry the Japs hard, and were suppressed and beaten by them all the way. Now it's finally our turn to fight back!"
"Even if we don't have the strength to overpower the Japanese, we still have to beat them until they can't touch anything, and they can only be beaten passively in the mountains!"
Lieutenant Commander Yuwen, who was walking in the middle of the team, quickly noticed something was wrong!
The Eighth Route Army no longer blocked them from the front, but hid on both sides of the team, looking for opportunities to shoot a bunch of bullets at them!
But he ignored it.
When I heard someone from my subordinates suggesting that we divide our forces to attack the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops, I remained unmoved and insisted on repeating the order I had given before entering the mountain!
"The troops must not be divided. We continue to move forward. After encountering a sneak attack, we will mainly use fire counterattacks. We must not stop! Our mission today is to capture the common people and break the Eighth Route Army mine formations! As long as we can achieve our goal, it is worthwhile to injure a few more soldiers.
!”
The adjutant hesitated and reminded: "But sir, it is impossible for a simple fire counterattack to cause casualties to the Eighth Route Army!"
"Also, although the casualties they cause to us in each sneak attack are not large, the cumulative casualties are no less than that of our brigade launching a large-scale attack!"
"I am worried that if we continue to rush forward so desperately, the increasing casualties may exceed our ability to bear!"
Lieutenant Colonel Yu Wen slowly calmed down, took a deep breath and asked, "How many casualties have we had since entering the mountain?"
"The total casualties totaled almost 140 people, and 98 people died directly in battle!"
"How come there are so many!" Lieutenant Commander Yu Wen immediately frowned. This number was far beyond his expectation.
The adjutant quickly explained: "When the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army came over, a small group of the roundabout troops was almost wiped out. In that battle, 48 of us died, and the remaining more than fifty people were killed by landmines along the way, and were killed by the Eighth Route Army's blocking troops.
Beat them to death, as well as those who were killed in the sneak attack just now!"
"Also, when the Eighth Route Army blocked us head-on, although the troops suffered casualties, we were still able to kill many Eighth Route Army soldiers in one battle! But since the Eighth Route Army changed its blocking to a sneak attack, because the troops did not divide their forces to fight back, our results were almost zero.
Being beaten passively!”
