Kimura Nakasa has completely lost his mind and turned into a madman!
More than 600 ordinary Japanese soldiers also went crazy. The heavy casualties and high-intensity fighting made them exhausted physically and mentally and fell into madness!
During the pursuit, comrades were beaten to death. They continued to rush forward without even looking at them, completely turning into a group of war machines without any rationality!
"Da da da……"
A tongue of fire suddenly shot out from the forest more than fifty meters on the flank, and the two Japs were instantly beaten into pieces!
The remaining Japanese soldiers remained indifferent and continued to pursue without any intention of evading!
They encountered too many sneak attacks along the way, and they were endless!
Send troops to counterattack. Almost none of the counterattack troops survive, and a lot of troops are wasted!
Stopping and counterattacking with fire will not only fail to hurt the Eighth Route Army troops who are already hiding, but will also waste time, making it even more difficult to catch up with the garrison!
In order to catch up with the garrison and survive, Kimura, who had fallen into madness, directly ordered the troops to ignore these sneak attacks!
As long as he catches up with the garrison, he will not hesitate to kill all his subordinates!
However, this sneak attack was not the ordinary sneak attack they had encountered before!
The machine gun did not stop firing after firing a bunch of bullets, but continued to fire wildly at the team!
More importantly, this string of machine gun fire sounded more like an order!
In the blink of an eye, at least thirty machine gun flames appeared on the side of the troops approaching the forest, spraying bullets at the troops!
"Baga, the enemy is attacking, we have entered the Eighth Route Army ambush!"
It was only then that Kimura Nakasa reacted from the shock. He threw himself to the ground and shouted loudly!
Then a pair of eyes began to shine, and he added: "They must be the garrison group we have been chasing for a whole day. Knowing that they can't escape, they want to take us off..."
"Finally we caught up with them. There are not many of them. The troops immediately counterattacked and killed them at all costs. At the very least, they must delay them!"
The firepower of the garrison was too fierce, and half of the soldiers participating in the battle were veterans of many battles who had rushed out of Lingqiu City. The machine gun fire was both accurate and tricky!
A single salvo fired, and in less than three seconds, the machine gunners in the middle were all dead!
Quickly turn your gun around and aim at the grenade soldier who poses the greatest threat among the Japanese!
Get rid of these two threats, and the riflemen will be nothing to worry about!
"Grenade, throw all the grenades on you and try to make them explode in the air!" Li Hao lay down next to a machine gunner, killed a major in the middle of the team with one shot, and shouted at the top of his lungs!
"Boom boom boom..."
Amidst the intensive machine gun fire, the grenade exploded!
Soon, the sound of gunfire was covered up by a thunderous explosion, which lasted for more than ten seconds before it ended!
"Blow the charge horn, cover with machine guns, and kill the infantry to end the battle quickly!" This was the last order given by Li Hao on the battlefield!
Soon the chief of staff rushed over from the battlefield with a happy face: "Captain, Captain Xiao's analysis is absolutely correct!"
"These little devils have been driven crazy, and are very tired. They have been beaten to numbness. Their combat effectiveness is not even half of their usual strength, and they have no defense against our ambush!"
"Nearly half of the more than 600 Japs were killed by bullets. This means that the Japs did not immediately get down and fight back after being attacked. Instead, they were continuously fired by our machine rifles for almost five seconds before they started to get down and fight back!"
"However, the grenades we threw out did not give them a chance to fight back!"
"The ambush position is so close to them and so high up, every soldier can throw a grenade on the kid's head!"
"More than three hundred Japanese were either killed or injured. Before the injured could react from the grenade explosion, our people had already rushed in front of them!"
"The entire ambush was a clean one. The battle ended in less than five minutes. All the little Japs were wiped out, including a lieutenant colonel and four majors!"
Facing the victory, Li Hao also showed a smile on his face and immediately asked: "Are our casualties heavy?"
"32 people were sacrificed, four were seriously injured, and there are no statistics on those with minor injuries that did not affect the battle!"
Li Hao took a long breath, the smile on his face became thicker, and he shouted with excitement!
"Okay, good fight!"
"Order the troops to clean the battlefield immediately and then move!"
"Now that the little devil's tail behind us is gone, the follow-up enemy pursuit troops are still more than ten kilometers away. This is the perfect opportunity for us to get rid of the devil's pursuit!"
"Tell several company commanders to take away everything they can!"
“When you get to Datong, you can use all these things!”
The Lieutenant General of the Japanese Army Headquarters in Taiyuan has not slept a wink all day and night. He has been staring at the sand table, searching for possible hiding places for the garrison!
Not only him, but also the little Japs on the front line and three reconnaissance planes during the day were searching for traces of the garrison in the mountains north of Lingqiu!
The rumors above that he is not suitable to be the army commander have become more and more intense. If the garrison is really allowed to slip away and let go of the culprit who has brought great shame to the empire, it will definitely be a certainty that he will step down as army commander!
"Sir, there's an urgent call from the Lingqiu front line!"
"They heard fierce gunfire in the mountains 25 kilometers northwest of Lingqiu. They guessed that there was a firefight between Lieutenant Kimura and the breakout troops of the garrison!"
"Three brigades of imperial troops have formed an encirclement around the battlefield and are on their way to kill them!"
"Yo Xi, after waiting all day, I finally received some good news!" The military commander's tense nerves rarely relaxed!
Then he ordered anxiously: "Give them an order immediately and capture this garrison at all costs!"
"Complete the mission and all officers involved in the battle will be promoted to one level!"
"If they fail to complete their mission, they will be sent to a military court!"
After the chief of staff left in a hurry, the military commander's solemn expression became relaxed!
There are definitely not many breakout troops in the garrison. This is the result obtained by the military department after a day of research!
The pursuit force commanded by Lieutenant Commander Kimura consisted of more than 2,000 people. Even if they suffered heavy casualties during the pursuit, they would definitely not be able to escape as long as they got stuck with the breakout force of the garrison!
And judging from the frontline battle reports, the pursuit troops commanded by Kimura not only stuck to the opponent, but also engaged in a large-scale exchange of fire with them!
Facing the pursuit force with superior strength, the garrison had no chance to escape!
Thinking of this, a smile flashed across the commander's face involuntarily!
But it didn't last long!
Two hours later, the communications staff member hurried in, looking very embarrassed!
A bad feeling quickly came to mind!
Before he could speak, the communications staff officer reported nervously: "Sir, urgent report from Lingqiu front line!"
"Lieutenant Kimura did catch up with the breakout troops of the garrison, but by the time our follow-up troops arrived, the battle was over!"
"What was the result? Did you kill the garrison?" the commander asked anxiously!
"No...no..."
The communications staff hesitated for a long time to answer!
"Nani?"
The commander shouted with disbelief on his face!
The battle is over, but the garrison has not been killed. How is this possible?
"Did Lieutenant Colonel Kimura not block the breakout troops of the garrison and let them break out again!" The commander thought of another possibility!
"It's okay. As long as we can severely damage the breakout troops of the garrison, we can run away. At worst, we will have to fight again!"
"As long as you find the traces of the garrison and follow them, the fight will be much easier!"
The communications staff officer, who was stared at by the military commander, wanted to crawl directly into the ground!
The content of the telegram was completely different from his judgment, and it was very different!
He didn't know how angry the commander would be after he told the truth!
I saw the hesitant look on my subordinates' faces, hesitating and not saying anything!
The bad premonition in the commander's heart became stronger and stronger. He became anxious at that time and immediately asked: "Baga, this is not the case, and that is not the case. What did the emergency report say? Report it immediately!"
"Hi!"
The communications staff replied bravely!
"The battle was already over when the encircling troops arrived on the battlefield. More than 600 corpses of the imperial army were found on the battlefield, among which Lieutenant Colonel Kimura and four major captains were all killed!"
"All the weapons and ammunition equipped by the imperial army are missing!"
"Also, no Eighth Route Army corpse was found on the battlefield..."
"Through investigation and judgment, the pursuit force led by Lieutenant Colonel Kimura was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and the entire army was destroyed!"
"All the weapons and ammunition equipped by the pursuing troops were seized by the Eighth Route Army!"
"Bagh Ya Road, how is it possible?" the Lieutenant General shouted with a pair of big eyes and a look of disbelief on his face!
"Shouldn't the breakout troops of the garrison be thinking about escaping now? How to get rid of the imperial pursuit troops? How can there be a chance to turn around and counterattack, ambush the imperial pursuit troops!"
"They definitely don't have many troops to break through. How can they eat more than 600 imperial troops in one go? It's impossible!"
