"What do you think these people in Tangcheng are doing? They have been coming in and out since the morning, and there are only less than a hundred people left. What the hell are they messing around with?" Sun Liansheng, who had a bruised nose and face, did not show up, and the man guarding the city gate did not show up.
However, Tian Guang was tormented by the Second Company that kept going in and out of the city gate. No one told him the reason, so Tian Guang could only get together with his squad leader and figure it out secretly.
Of course Tangcheng couldn't tell Tian Guang the reason. If it hadn't been such a struggle in and out, how could Tangcheng have spared the manpower to escort the two carriages hidden outside the city to Wuhan.
Won’t the Japanese squadron that Onimu belongs to come to Macheng? Of course not. Tangcheng and the others just haven’t seen any Japanese troops after ambushing the bandits, but this does not mean that the Japanese troops will disappear from now on. They will send manpower to escort them in Tangcheng.
While the carriage was heading to Wuhan, the Mitsui Squadron to which Oniki belonged was rushing towards Macheng with great momentum. Although the battle in Macheng was fierce, there were also some oversights. There were always some who escaped among the hundreds of bandits. It was the Mitsui Squadron that received the surviving bandits.
Only after receiving the report did we decide to attack Macheng.
With the help and guidance of the traitors bribed by the Japanese army, the Mitsui Squadron left Huoshan County at night, and then broke into pieces and bypassed the defense line of the 132nd Division Wang Haibu of the Japanese Army and rushed directly to Macheng. Before the Mitsui Squadron went on the expedition, the commander Sakata repeatedly
The mission this time was explained, which was to capture Macheng and hold Macheng until the follow-up reinforcements arrived, paving the way for the Japanese troops in Huoshan and Lu'an to attack Wuhan.
Be flexible and avoid exchanging fire with the Japs only as a last resort. With Tangcheng's instructions, the four Heizi and others from outside the city were sent by Tangcheng to conduct search and reconnaissance along the line from Macheng to Huoshan. Mitsui Squadron
More than two hundred people, plus the plainclothes traitors who served as their guides, nearly 400 people rushed towards Macheng. About half an hour ago, Heizi and four others arrived at this place called Kucaogou on horseback.
The ditch is the only place the Japanese army must pass from Huoshan to Macheng. If they bypass Kucaogou and take other roads, the Mitsui Squadron may have to detour hundreds of miles to reach Macheng.
Kucaogou is just a small place. The mountains here are not high and the terrain is not dangerous. It is a hilly terrain. It is called Kucaogou because there is denser vegetation here than elsewhere. The thatch and shrubs everywhere turn yellow in autumn.
This is where Kucaogou got its name. The mountain road winding westward along the terrain passes through Kucaogou. The khaki military uniforms of the Japanese army are very conspicuous on the green grassy slopes. The four of them, Heizi, dressed as ordinary people, lay down at this time.
Lying on a high slope not far from the main road.,
Before leaving, Tang Cheng's instructions were not to exchange fire with the Japanese army, but Heizi was a disobedient person at heart. As soon as they arrived at Kucaogou, they discovered the Japanese army's khaki military uniforms on the grassy slope, and Japanese soldiers had already appeared in front of them.
Heizi did not follow Tang Cheng's instructions to return to Macheng to report. Instead, he decided to stay in hiding and take the opportunity to block the enemy and give the Japanese a punch first.
Heizi dispersed his three men and sent the one with the best riding skills back to Macheng to report the news of the Japanese attack to Tangcheng. He then sent the other two men to move several hundred meters back to find an advantage at the exit of Kucaogou.
The terrain was concealed and a defense line was set up so that he could defeat the Japs. He himself chose to stay here to prepare for sneak attacks and harass the enemy, slowing down the enemy's progress and buying time for his two companions to retreat behind.
Pulling the bolt of the gun and pushing the first bullet into the barrel, just when Heizi on the highlands was ready for everything except the east wind, the Japanese troops marching along the road were neatly lined up, and a row of three Japanese troops appeared in Heizi's sight.
When it comes to Heizi's marksmanship and skill, there are really few people in the Second Company who are better than him. But when it comes to actual fighting skills, Heizi can't even compare to Liu Shitou. Just when Heizi was concentrating on aiming his gun at the sun,
When the troops were lined up, the flanking elite squadron of Mitsui Squadron had appeared on his flank, but Kuroko was not aware of it at all.
The Mitsui Squadron, which has experienced two battles in Shanghai and Nanjing, is not a rookie entering the Chinese battlefield. The Chinese squadron was retreating steadily on the frontal battlefield. As more Japanese troops entered the confrontation stage with the Japanese army, the Japanese army was ambushed.
The number of times also increased. After the Mitsui Squadron crossed the 312th Division's defense line, it sent out advanced troops on both wings of the march. Although the number was not large, with the help of the traitor plainclothes, the Mitsui Squadron traveled calmly.
The Mauser rifle in Heizi's hand had already locked onto a target, but Heizi had to turn the muzzle because out of the corner of his eye he spotted several Japanese soldiers with guns suddenly appearing not far from him. Appeared in
There were a total of 6 Japanese soldiers on Heizi's flank. The leader was a Japanese sergeant. The sergeant with a red beard was holding a 38 rifle in his hand. A plaster flag was hung on the bayonet of the rifle. The red pill flag was shining in the sun.
It looks particularly dazzling below.
The six Japanese soldiers who had been spotted by Heizi didn't notice anything unusual at all. They were still looking around with their bowed legs and their nostrils raised high. Heizi, who had thatch stuck in his body, could only change the target and move the muzzle of his gun towards the six sudden soldiers.
When the Japanese soldiers appeared, he chose to stay only to harass the Japanese soldiers and delay the enemy's progress. No matter which Japanese soldiers he shot, Heizi could achieve his goal.
"Nani?" When the sergeant walking at the front was looking around, a black thing fell from the sky. Before he could react, there was a "boom" and a violent explosion.
The rising smoke appeared on the grassy slope. The flying shrapnel and flames engulfed the Japanese soldiers. The sergeant carrying the small flag was thrown high by the air wave of the explosion. What happened at his feet
The explosion was enough to tear his body into pieces.
Behind the Japanese sergeant, several Japanese soldiers two or three meters away were also affected by the explosion. The two closest ones were seriously injured and lay on the ground in pain. Although the remaining three Japanese soldiers were not seriously injured,
It was heavy, but the air wave of the explosion was enough to put them into temporary dizziness. Hearing the violent explosion, the marching Japanese troops stopped. Squadron leader Mitsui Yufu raised his telescope and looked at the grassy slopes where the smoke was rising.
Just in time to see Heizi's figure as fast as a cheetah.
Before the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Kuroko, holding a short knife in his bare hands, sprang out from his hiding place like a cheetah. Before the Japanese soldiers affected by the explosion could recover, Kuroko had already slammed into them. Kuroko was not sure.
After killing the Japanese sergeant, he was able to escape from the guns of five other Japanese soldiers, so he changed his mind again and gave up using the rifle and chose to directly use grenades to annihilate the enemy. He never thought of relying on a grenade.
He was able to kill the six Japanese soldiers. After throwing the grenade, Kuroko had already pulled out the dagger from his waist. Just waiting for the explosion, he would rush over and use the dagger to kill the remaining Japanese soldiers.
The good skills he learned in the bandits' den since childhood helped Heizi. Before the remaining Japanese soldiers had fully recovered, the short knife in Heizi's hand had already left a mark on the vital parts of their bodies.
The holes, neck, ribs, these vital parts of the human body are all the places where Kuroko made the knife. "Puff", "Puff", "Puff", blood mist burst out from the knife hole continuously, and he wiped a handful of the blood sprayed on his face.
Seeing blood spots, Heizi squatted down in the pile of corpses and began to search for grenades on the corpses.
"Yongji, take your squad over and have a look." After looking around through the telescope, Mitsui Yufu found no other ambush, so he immediately sent a squad of Japanese soldiers to rush towards the place where the smoke was rising.
Following the captain's order, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers screamed, jumped off the road with rifles in hand, and ran towards Kuroko. They put the Japanese grenades they found into an empty backpack, Kuroko
He picked up a Type 38 rifle, adjusted the scale, and aimed at a Japanese soldier a hundred meters away. There was a "pop" sound, and the Japanese soldier he was aiming at fell down.
The Japanese soldiers who rushed down the road screamed and lay on the ground. Kuroko, who was carrying a half-packed grenade, took the opportunity to run towards his Mauser rifle. Compared with the Japanese 38 rifle, Kuroko preferred to use this Mauser rifle.
. Encountered an ambush, Mitsui Yufu had to stop his squadron. The traitor plainclothes wandering on both sides of the road also retreated to Mitsui Squadron. Kuroko looked up at the road and found that the road was already crowded.
There were densely packed areas of Japanese soldiers and plainclothes traitors.
"Pa" Heizi fired another shot, and then retreated towards the exit of Kucaogou with his rifle and the backpack containing grenades. Heizi probably counted the Japanese soldiers and traitor plainclothes on the avenue. There were about 400 of them, including
Half of them were Japanese soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms. He ignored the traitor troops in plain clothes. Heizi marveled at the number of Japanese soldiers. When intercepting the bandits, only a dozen Japanese soldiers in one class were tormenting them. Now this
But there are 0 Japanese soldiers, and Heizi is now hoping that the layout at the exit of Kucaogou has been completed.
"Baga" Isamu Mitsui was furious when he put down his binoculars. The Japanese soldiers who were temporarily parked on the avenue set up their machine guns and fired a few shots. Then the large group of soldiers chased down the avenue with a roar. Carrying rifles and backpacks
Heizi didn't care about this. He completely regarded the Japanese soldiers behind him as nothing. He ran as fast as he could. The two men stationed at the exit of Kucaogou were 0 meters away. In half a minute, he would be able to join them.
.
From time to time, Heizi turned around to look at the Japanese soldiers who were chasing him. He now regretted his decision. There were only four of them and they should have returned to the city immediately to report the Japanese soldiers. But their recklessness and arbitrariness put him in such a passive position.
In this situation, luckily I ran fast just now, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape just from the machine gun fire during that period.
