Chapter 64 Victory in the first battle
64
"Boom!" As soon as the squadron leader's order came out, an explosion that was different from the shells rang out not far away.
A car's compartment was detonated by the fragments produced by the explosion of the shell, and an explosion occurred instantly. Not only did the front of the car explode into a pile of scrap iron, but the fuel from the explosion of the fuel tank also burned quickly, burning the entire car into a huge torch.
Four or five imperial troops hiding under the car had no time to even cannon, and were directly caught in the fire, and then burned to charcoal with screams!
After a car was bombed, the squadron leader clearly saw that the three-year group of mortar shells were constantly falling, and they were constantly approaching his position.
It’s obvious from the other party’s posture that the Eighth Route Army wanted to blow up all the cars on the official road one by one, and by the way, all the Imperial Army warriors hidden under the car were also blown up to the sky.
The squadron leader's face changed and immediately ordered: "Bageya Road, when did Tujia Route have such fierce artillery fire? It is not safe to get under the car. I ordered the warriors to leave the car immediately and break out in the direction of the county town. Quick!"
After the order was issued, the squadron leader broke through the back under the protection of several guards.
The shells smashed by the Eighth Route Army just now were too close to me, and no one could guarantee whether the next round of shells would hit the car they were hiding. If they hit, they would be burned into charcoal by the fire like a few warriors just now.
As the captain of the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire, he would rather die at the gun of the Eighth Route Army than be burned to charcoal.
However, leaving the car breaks out does not mean that he can leave here alive.
The reason why Wang Ping ordered the artillery platoon to smash artillery shells on the official road was to force out the Japanese hidden under the car.
Therefore, during the shelling, the five light and heavy machine guns and more than 100 rifles of the Independent Battalion all faced the cars still intact on the official road.
As long as a devil comes out from under the car, many bullets will fly towards him immediately, and the Japanese squadron leader is no exception.
"Dadada!" As soon as I got up from under the car, a crooked handle and a few riflemen stared at them. As soon as the dense machine gun strafing sounded, three subordinates around me were beaten into hornet's nests, and the remaining two subordinates subconsciously threw themselves to the ground, allowing themselves to escape the disaster.
However, this also means they have lost the cover of the car.
Several Eighth Route Army soldiers who were closest to them took out a grenade while a smile flashed across the corner of their mouths, then pulled out a grenade very skillfully, stayed in their hands for three seconds, and then threw it out hard.
Several grenades exploded in the air. Although the explosion point was not directly above the Japanese heads, the scattered grenade fragments still fry them to the point of blood and blood, and they could not pass if they had to see it.
In the next minute or two, Wang Ping used the same method to force the remaining Japanese to the official road out of the car, and without exception, they were all killed by rifles and machine guns waiting for them.
"Phoneman, blow the charge horn, attack immediately, and kill all the Japanese who are still alive!" Seeing that it was difficult to hear the Japanese counterattack sounds on the official road, Wang Ping ordered decisively!
"Didd!Didd!" The three independent battalion officers immediately stood up from the cornfield, and then began to blow the trumpet with their cheeks.
As soon as the loud charge sounded, more than a hundred riflesmen seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, carrying a bayonet rifle and rushing into the pipeline.
The machine gunner in charge of five light and heavy machine guns did not move, and his eyes were staring at the battlefield. As long as there was a little abnormal movement, there would be a shuttle of bullets to cover the rifleman's charge.
Soon, the rifleman rushed to Guandao and then finished the attack on the Japanese with a bayonet.
Although several Japanese wounded soldiers died with grenades and the Independent Battalion soldiers during this process, and more than a dozen soldiers were either killed or injured and fell on the official road, these casualties still could not change the outcome of the destruction of the entire Japanese army.
Wang Ping did not rush out with the troops, and the ending of the battlefield was already destined, and it would be the same whether he or not he rushed.
Soon, the second company commander Zhang Yunshan rushed over with excitement on his face: "Win, battalion commander, we won!"
"There are 168 Japanese soldiers in total, including one captain and squadron leader, all of whom were shot dead!"
"Not to mention the seizure, the equipment of a Japanese infantry squadron, except for the blown-up, all the others were seized by us. There were five crooked handles, six grenade launchers, 83 38 large covers, 8 turtle boxes, more than 25,000 bullets of various types, and 180 grenade launchers and 363 grenades!"
After the report, he added: "So much equipment is enough for us to form two infantry platoons! Battalion Commander, I suggest that we make up for the missing machine guns and grenade launchers of the Second Company first!"
"You are indispensable!" Wang Ping answered with satisfaction.
Then he ordered Zhong Yusheng who rushed over to the side: "Planer Zhong, your guard platoon will have to work harder. Draw a few veterans and bring all the ammunition. Remember to bring more grenades and lead the team yourself!"
"We eat one of their infantry squadrons in one bite. The Japanese will definitely not be willing to do so. They will definitely send troops to retaliate against us!"
"No matter how many people the Japanese came out, you must use guerrilla warfare to slow their march as much as possible, and then send people to Shuiquan Village to report the situation of the Japanese! Also, you have a good machine gun and bring two crooked hands from the seized weapons!"
Zhong Yusheng, who had already received many true teachings from Wang Ping, had a lit up answer: "Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed!"
As soon as Zhong Yusheng left, Wang Ping continued to order in front of the two company commanders.
"Let the comrades speed up, take away all the things you can take away, and then go back to Shuiquan Village to repair! The Japanese will definitely come out again. Everyone must ensure their physical strength and be prepared for continuous combat!"
As soon as the ambush outside the village started, Zeng Quan knew that the Japanese in the village were useless.
After nearly half an hour of shooting, the Japanese and puppet troops, which were already few, lost more than a dozen again. In the end, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers relied on heavy machine guns to trap the most sturdy yard to defend.
Zeng Quan, who did not intend to show mercy, immediately ordered the grenade squad that had not moved for a company to fire, and was specifically focused on the bombing of the Japanese heavy machine gun positions.
Nine grenades passed, and the heavy machine gun position was directly shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder.
The five or six Japanese around were all in pools of blood. As for the Japanese guarding in other directions, the solid courtyard wall could block the bullets fired by the Eighth Route Army, but could not block the grenade fragments from behind.
Many Japanese and puppet soldiers lying on the wall of the courtyard were blown up directly without any reaction.
The violent explosion in the yard was not over yet, so Zeng Quan ordered a continuous attack.
"Boom!" Amid the violent explosion, the closed door of the yard fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
