"Catch up and kill them!" Xiao Yuan ordered decisively!
Stand up from behind the stone and start firing at a Japanese machine gun team!
The bullets flew out from the constantly beating muzzle, drilling several bloody holes in the Japanese's back in the blink of an eye!
The remaining five commandos of the two assault teams opened fire one after another, and soon killed all the remaining dozen or so Japs!
"We replenished the grenades from the corpses of the Japanese, and took away the machine guns and bullets. We went to reinforce the guard company and the reconnaissance company. When we heard the gunshots, they also started fighting over there!"
When they rushed to the battlefield of the firefight, the reconnaissance company and the guard company, relying on their superior firepower and terrain advantages, had already held back a small team of Japanese soldiers and were in the process of swallowing them up!
"Captain, do you want to reinforce them, attack from behind the Japanese, and attack from the front and back to quickly end the battle!" the leader of the second assault group suggested with his eyes shining!
Xiao Yuan shook his head and said in denial: "No, the reconnaissance company and the guard company will definitely be able to eat dozens of Japs, so we won't join in the fun! Catch up with the main force of the Japs, force them to form another infantry squad, and then kill them slowly!"
The Japanese pursued the troops in three directions, following the trails deliberately left by the commando team and the reconnaissance company, and circled in the forest for nearly two hours before colliding directly with each other!
Just like when they first entered the mountain, Lieutenant Kimura and the other pursuing troops were only attacked by booby traps, but they still suffered over a hundred casualties each!
The Japs who were targeted by Xiao Yuan were the worst!
The commando team, the reconnaissance company, and the guard company took turns to fight, and each of them wiped out three Japanese squads, not counting the casualties caused to the Japanese by sneak attacks along the way!
At the time of rendezvous, the number of little Japanese soldiers in this group dropped sharply from 600 when the troops were divided to more than 100, and they almost had no chance to see Lieutenant Colonel Kimura!
"Bagaya Road! How could this happen? How could the casualties of the troops be so high? How did you command them!" In front of the two captains, Lieutenant Colonel Kimura assumed the posture of the commander-in-chief for the first time. He stared at the two people and cursed.
!
The two captains wanted to push back!
They are all prosperous now. If the defense team is allowed to escape, everyone including Kimura will face the end of caesarean section!
But when the words came to their lips, they swallowed them back!
The troops were indeed lost at the hands of two of them, and the casualties were heavy. There was no reason to refute it!
"Sir, there's a problem!" The squadron leader of the investigation team suddenly rushed over to report, with a solemn look on his face!
"Baga, what happened again!" Kimura Zhongsa cursed angrily!
The squadron leader hesitated, not wanting to report bad news to Kimura at this time and cause even greater anger!
If this happens, he may get burned and become the target of Kimura to vent his anger!
But this bad news was too important. No matter how reluctant I was, I could only bite the bullet and report: "We seemed to have passed this place more than two hours ago!"
"Nani?"
Kimura stared with big eyes, his face full of disbelief!
This news shocked him so much that he stared at the squadron leader and asked: "In other words, our pursuit for more than two hours just now was in vain, and more than 700 imperial troops died in vain. They circled around the mountain.
It’s a big circle back to where it was!”
"Hi!" the squadron leader replied in a low voice, lowering his head and not daring to look at his squadron leader!
Kimura is on fire, and this time he has thoughts of killing people!
"Pa bang bang..."
He raised his hand and slapped the squadron leader on the face several times!
Then, still not satisfied, he glared at the red-cheeked squadron leader and cursed: "What did your reconnaissance troops do? You followed the Eighth Route Army's rear troops around the woods for more than two hours before you realized that you had been fooled!"
"Do you know how far the Eighth Route Army's breakout troops could go in the woods more than two hours ago?"
"At least ten kilometers, which means we are almost fifteen kilometers away from them now. In the vast mountains, the two troops are more than fifteen kilometers apart. How can we find them!"
"Pa bang bang..."
Having said this, Kimura slapped the squadron leader several times on the face, turning him into a pig-headed face!
The squadron leader was filled with fear. If the garrison finally escaped due to his own mistakes, then even if he died ten thousand times, it would not be enough to quell the empire's anger!
With the last glimmer of hope, he mustered up the courage to ask Zhan: "Sir, please give me another chance!"
"I promise to find the traces of the garrison and lead the main force to catch up with them!"
"If you can't do it, you don't need to give orders from your superiors. I'll humble myself and apologize to His Majesty the Emperor by having a caesarean section!"
The total strength of the troops entering the mountain has been reduced sharply to more than 1,200 people. The front is definitely dangerous and full of murderous intentions. Therefore, every soldier alive is very important to Kimura, especially the grassroots commanders!
Kimura wanted to shoot him, but finally held back and cursed!
"Then why are you still standing there? Find the traces left by the breakout troops of the garrison immediately and catch up with them!"
Ten minutes later, the Japanese set off again. This time they found the same traces deliberately left by the commandos, and there were also traces that had been deliberately smoothed and covered up!
"This must have been left by the breakout troops of the Eighth Route Army. The traces have been artificially covered up and wiped out. It must have been done by their rear troops. They didn't want us to discover them!" Lieutenant Colonel Kimura judged after hearing the report!
Then he ordered with a serious look on his face: "Just follow these traces and pursue. There will be no accidents this time!"
The Japanese troops moved, and the rear troops of the garrison followed suit!
"Captain Xiao, how are we going to fight this time?" Sun Jiawu asked with eyes shining!
We fought for two hours just now. Using Xiao Yuan's fighting style, we not only easily killed three Japanese squads, but also suffered very few casualties, with only three killed and one injured.
The huge casualty ratio made him admire Xiao Yuan highly!
Seeing the Japanese take action, he immediately looked at Xiao Yuan, wondering if he had any more powerful ways to fight!
Xiao Yuan directly ordered: "The Japanese suffered heavy casualties just now. They will definitely not be fooled again by using the old method!"
"And now they know that they wandered around the forest with us for two hours in vain, and they might not be able to keep up with the main force!"
"In order not to get lost, they will definitely be more crazy, more anxious, and more at all costs than in the previous pursuit!"
"If that's the case, then we'll take advantage of it!"
"Suddenly attack them on the road and hit them with the strongest firepower!"
"If the Japanese don't send troops to counterattack, we will keep sneak attacks! If they send troops to counterattack, we will eat their counterattack troops!"
"Their current pursuit direction was deliberately left to the little devils by us. The further you go in this direction, the farther away you will be from the main force, and the less likely you are to find them!"
"So we have plenty of time to deal with them!"
"If a soldier kills five Japs through a sneak attack, more than half of the remaining 1,000 Japs will be killed or injured!"
"If one soldier kills ten Japs, more than a thousand little Japs will be wiped out by us!"
"Start taking action, everyone should keep up their efforts and strive to eliminate more little devils!"
At twelve o'clock at noon, in the dense forest where the garrison was hiding, except for the guard post, everyone else was fast asleep!
Li Hao and Hong Linfeng didn’t take a break!
The remaining Japs in Lingqiu City, and those who had just arrived at Lingqiu, entered the mountain one after another, looking like they were going to turn the mountain under their feet upside down!
Before getting rid of these chasing troops, Li Hao couldn't relax at all, let alone rest!
"Captain, the troops have been replenished!"
"Captain Yuan of the artillery battalion issued a military order to me. He only needs sixty gunners to ensure the normal operation of two mountain cannons and six mortars! So in addition to the sixty gunners he personally left, the artillery battalion has two remaining
More than a hundred people will replenish the three main battalions!"
"Now the three main battalions have reached the standard of three main companies!"
"Each battalion has one hundred and twenty-five men and nine infantry squads!"
"With the twenty-some extra artillery pieces, I plan to supplement the guard company and reconnaissance company!"
Li Hao frowned and then ordered: "Since the troops are all gone, there is no need to call the battalion anymore! Not only will it attract more violent attacks from the little devils, but it will also make it inconvenient to command the troops!"
"Except for bluffing, it has no effect!"
"Pass my order, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, the entire garrison regiment will be downsized!"
"From now on, the battalion commander will be the company commander, the company commander will be the platoon leader, the platoon leader will be the squad leader, and the squad leader will be the soldier!"
"The garrison regiment is temporarily reduced to three main companies, an artillery company, a cavalry company, a guard company, and a reconnaissance company!"
"Let me tell you, when we get to Datong, as long as we can capture two coal mines, we will have as many soldiers as we want!"
"Whether you can go back to be a battalion commander or a company commander, you have to rely on your own abilities and see if you have the ability to mobilize those absentees who were prisoners of war to join our Eighth Route Army!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, several gunshots could be faintly heard at the garrison station!
"The Japs' pursuers must be coming soon!" Li Hao judged with a frown on his face!
"Chief of Staff, everyone has rested for five or six hours. We will rest for another hour and then move!"
When the sleeping soldiers were woken up one after another, the guard company commander Sun Jiawu suddenly appeared in the camp!
"Captain, Captain Xiao asked me to come back and report: Please cooperate with the main force to eat the little Jaap pursuers who are clinging to us!"
"These little devils are crazy and are chasing us with a desperate attitude!"
"More than 2,000 people have been beaten into more than 600 people and they still don't give up!"
"There are three more brigades that are entering the mountain one after another. If we can't kill this group of Japanese troops as soon as possible, the sound of gunfire and gunfire produced by the exchange of fire between the two sides will become the target of pursuit by other Japs, and then attract more Japs to kill them!"
Li Hao asked seriously: "How does Xiao Yuan want us to cooperate?"
"Wait until dark!" Sun Jiawu quickly reported!
"After the little Japs plane leaves at night, the main force will look for favorable terrain to deploy pocket formations. We will lead the remaining Japs to the pocket formations!"
"The Japs have gone crazy and are chasing after the traces left by the main force. Our sneak attacks along the way are not taken seriously at all!"
"If we set up the pocket formation now, they will definitely get in without any precautions!"
Li Hao thought for a few seconds before making a decision: "It's a good idea, I agree!"
"Go back and tell Xiao Yuan that I will start looking for favorable terrain now!"
"The Pocket Formation will send someone to contact you when it's ready! Since this little devil has come to our door and wants to die, let's eat him!"
