After the Japanese and puppet troops from all walks of life gathered together, they rushed to the vicinity of Oak Slope at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Crossing a forest ravine, the oak slope is clearly visible in front of us, less than 500 meters away.
At this time, the crows and magpies were silent on the oak slope, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Shiro Ishikawa held the telescope in both hands and could see through the tree gaps of different sizes that the wheat straw houses were staggered and the color turned gray and black.
Just when Shiro Ishikawa was looking at it, he heard a crisp gunshot from the oak slope.
Just as the gunshots fell, another soldier shouted: "It's bad, the Japanese are coming, run away."
Hearing gunshots and shouts, Shiro Ishikawa ordered the grenade squad to quickly occupy the mound on the right and carry out a covering artillery bombardment on the oak slope.
After receiving the order from Shiro Ishikawa, thirty-six grenade launchers were lined up on the mound. The grenades flashed past like meteors and flew towards the oak slope.
Suddenly, there were continuous explosions on the oak slope, and thick smoke and fire billowed into the sky.
Under the order of Ishikawa Shiro, Tomita Ryohei led hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops to attack at full speed, divided into four attack units, and advanced toward Oak Slope, with the security regiment soldiers at the forefront.
During this clearing operation, Tomita still served as deputy commander-in-chief, mainly responsible for frontline command tasks.
As company leaders, Zhu Zihui and Cao Fulai were sandwiched between the Japanese and puppet troops. Zhu Zihui's collar was open, and Cao Fulai's front was wide open, revealing his white shirt.
In just a few minutes, the enemy quickly approached the oak slope, less than a hundred meters away, but there was no sound on the oak slope and no movement could be heard.
Mistaking that the independent battalion had escaped, Tomita Ryohei ordered the troops to speed up again.
That day, the vanguard of the puppet army rushed to the foot of the oak tree slope, and Shan Zi shouted loudly: "Fight."
In an instant, twenty-six light and heavy machine guns fired a sweeping salvo, eighteen grenade launchers blasted violently, and hundreds of long and short guns opened fire, forming an airtight fire network.
Encountering a swift and violent attack, the number of casualties suffered by the Japanese and puppet troops was countless.
Facing the tragic casualties, Tomita Ryohei suddenly realized——
This time, they fell into the well-designed ambush formation on Tubal Road.
Thinking of this, Tomita Ryohei gritted his teeth, brandished his command sword and ordered to charge with light machine guns in front, destroying the Tubal Road at all costs.
Under the forced order of Tomita Ryohei, 42 light machine guns quickly launched a heavy rain of counterattack.
Under the command of Ishikawa Shiro, the Japanese grenade adjusted the launch angle and threw grenades one by one at the Oak Slope position.
There was a fierce exchange of fire, and a total of twelve of our soldiers were killed and seventeen others were injured.
Among the soldiers killed by the enemy, there were three grenade launchers, two ammunition handlers, one light and heavy machine gunner each, and one ammunition handler.
After the injured soldiers were bandaged by Xiaoyan and Xiaosu, the lightly injured soldiers returned to their fighting posts, while the seriously wounded and deceased were sent to Cishuling by a stretcher team.
As soon as there were casualties, Shanzi's eyes were bloodshot and he ordered the heavy machine guns to cooperate with the grenade teams to attack the Japanese grenade positions. The light machine guns concentrated their firepower specifically to hit the enemy's machine gunners.
The new round of attacks lasted for several minutes. Finally, Tomita Ryohei could no longer withstand the attack. He left behind nearly 200 corpses and dozens of seriously injured people, and led his team to retreat hundreds of meters in one breath.
According to the ambush plan, after repelling the first wave of enemy attacks, the movement should be organized immediately.
Shanzi then instructed Zhao Danian to organize a retreat according to the original plan.
Zhao Danian gave an order, and the machine gunners quickly moved closer to Shan Zi. They would be commanded by Shan Zi and cover the retreat of the large forces on the spot. The others, commanded by Zhao Danian, would move to Yukou Mountain.
Of course, among the sharpshooters left behind, Xiaolong and Xiaohu are indispensable.
