In a burst of continuous explosions, the grenades thrown by Tangcheng and Laodongbei exploded, and the Japanese troops on the side of the mountain road in Wuxia place were caught off guard. As the smoke of the explosion spread, "boom", "boom" and "boom"
"Three more explosions sounded. Tangcheng and Laodongbei made a desperate move and threw all the grenades they had at the Japanese army. However, the grenades just now landed where the Japanese troops gathered, and this time the grenades landed on
Next to one of the Japanese light machine guns.
Internal organs and limbs were mixed in the smoke and fell from the sky like rain. The faces of the few Japanese soldiers who luckily escaped were covered with fallen flesh and blood. An arm that was pushed away by the air wave was actually thrown high, and then
It fell into the wilderness only a few meters away from Tangcheng. Tangcheng was not so whimsical as to think that he could kill this Japanese squad by throwing grenades at close range. When the last wave of grenades exploded, he and Laodongbei had already followed the original plan.
Lu Ben returned to the place where Liu Shitou was hiding. If he doesn't evacuate now, he will never be able to evacuate again.
"Stop being stupid and run away. If the little Japanese comes back to his senses and smashes the cannon, none of the three of us can escape." Liu Shitou was dragged out of the pit by Tangcheng and still looked at the Japanese army.
Over there, Lao Dongbei, who came from behind, grabbed his collar and dragged him towards Song Tieshan and the others. Liu Shitou was a little dissatisfied that he didn't fire many shots, but he was also a man who had experienced battles for a long time.
Tang Cheng in front of him was just running fast, and Liu Shitou somewhat understood the current situation in his heart.
Not knowing whether the Japanese light machine gun had been blown up, Tang Cheng did not dare to rush up the mountain road rashly, so he could only run along the wild fields beside the mountain road. The fields were very flat from time to time, and the three of them stumbled while running.
, as soon as they ran not far away, the Japanese mortar shells fell with a screaming sound. Gray dust and smoke kept rising with the explosion, and a large amount of earth and rocks fell on their side of Tangcheng with the air waves of the explosion.
Liu Shitou, who was lagging behind, was flying sideways and without any urging from Lao Dongbei, he wished he could use all his energy to run with power.
"Is there anyone who can breathe?" Tang Cheng gasped and finally ran to the position of Song Tieshan's guerrillas. Song Tieshan, whose head was covered with blood, looked pale and had his eyes closed. He was the one whom Tang Cheng couldn't deal with the most.
Mengzi also disappeared. There were less than 20 guerrillas left under Song Tieshan. Fortunately, the remaining ones were armed. Regardless of whether the guerrillas were happy or not, Tangcheng first took down Na Ting, who had been suppressed by the Japanese army.
The machine guns were assigned to Old Northeast, and the Mauser rifles vacated by Old Northeast naturally returned to Tangcheng.
Song Tieshan was injured and unconscious. The guerrillas were now leaderless. No one among the remaining guerrillas could make an accurate idea. The appearance of the three men from Tangcheng left the remaining guerrillas at a loss. "If you don't want to die, just follow us."
Let's go, take your captain and other injured people and retreat. Those who don't want to leave can stay here and wait to be killed by the Japanese army." Tang Cheng, who was carrying a Mauser rifle, was the first to walk in the direction of Li's house. Liu
Shitou and Laodongbei followed closely, and the remaining guerrillas looked at each other, stood up, and chased after the wounded man on their backs.
Song Tieshan's guerrillas had broken away from the battle, and the remaining guerrillas that followed the Japanese army were unable to support themselves. Facing the strong firepower of the Japanese army, they had to retreat hurriedly by taking advantage of the terrain. The morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted after repelling the two guerrilla groups attacking from the front and back.
, after simply cleaning the battlefield, he did not stop too much, but continued to walk in the direction of Lijiapu. "Who said we were going to escape? You have all seen the battle just now. If we continue to fight, all of you will
Everyone will die there, we are not escaping, we are just changing a place to ambush."
Turning around the foot of the mountain, Song Tieshan, who was on the back of the guerrillas, also woke up faintly and learned that the guerrillas were retreating. Song Tieshan struggled to get off the backs of the team members and scolded the sad-looking team members one by one. Facing Song Tieshan's scolding
, Tang Cheng had to inform him of his plan in advance, "The Japanese army was attacked from both sides by you just now, but their casualties were not large. The casualties of your two guerrilla groups have roughly exceeded 40 people. Such a casualty rate. Do you think it's okay?"
Is it necessary to continue fighting?”
Tang Cheng's question left Song Tieshan speechless. It was true that he was from the Eighth Route Army, but before becoming a guerrilla captain, he had only participated in a few small-scale friction battles with the Japanese. He fought against Japanese soldiers as many times as one
You can count them all on one hand, and they all fought with a large army and commanded the battle alone to face the Japanese army. This was the first time. Song Tieshan himself was not sure. "We are a team of ordinary people, even if we are all dead, it will be
Can't withdraw." Song Tieshan still insisted on his words and wanted to gain some face.
"Fuck you, they're all dead. If you want to die, go and die by yourself. Don't drag others with you to die with you." Lao Dongbei, who was holding a machine gun, happened to come over. Hearing Song Tieshan's words, he immediately scolded Song Tieshan.
He got up. "You've killed all the people under your fucking hands. Who's going to fight with the little devils? You're all fucking dead. What will happen to the villagers in Lijiapu? Maybe you want them to hold sticks and kitchen knives.
Fighting with the little devil?"
Lao Dongbei's accusation made Song Tieshan's already pale face turn even more pale. He would never retreat in the face of the enemy. This was what his squad leader said to Song Tieshan on his first day in the army. But now he thinks carefully about what Lao Dongbei just said.
It seems that it is not unreasonable. All of them with guns are dead, and the villagers in Lijiapu have no one to protect them. Song Tieshan's heart was already relaxed, but he still said with a pinched neck, "We soldiers of the Eighth Route Army
Don't be afraid of death. If you want to leave, you can leave. We guerrillas will stay and fight the Japanese."
Seeing that Song Tieshan was unable to get in, the extremely annoyed Old Dongbei raised the machine gun in his hand and was about to hit him, but Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him. "Captain Song, I just said, I don't want to take you with me."
Escape, the place you just chose is not suitable for an ambush, I will take you to another place to ambush the Japanese army." Tang Cheng's words made Song Tieshan and his guerrillas focus their attention on Tang Cheng.
Seeing that Song Tieshan didn't believe what he just said, Tang Cheng was not angry and just smiled and explained, "I can help you continue to ambush this group of Japanese troops, but you and your people will be temporarily under my command and captured from the Japanese troops."
I will give priority to the trophies that come, but don't worry, I'm not interested in the Japanese firearms and mortars." Tang Cheng did not tell Song Tieshan what he wanted. Song Tieshan, who had been forced to go to Liangshan, had no other choice but to
Agree to the conditions offered by Tangcheng.
Leaving two uninjured guerrillas as secret sentries, Tangcheng's group continued to rush in the direction of Lijiapu. On the way, Tangcheng had discovered no less than three places suitable for ambushing the Japanese army. "Here."
It is our first ambush position." The first ambush position found in Tangcheng was an open field. It was an almost flat field divided into two halves by the dirt road that the people walked out on. However, there was a forest on the right side of the field, and the field on the left was facing towards
There is a stream no more than two or three hundred meters south. This stream flows from north to west and then changes its course to go south through Lijiapu after passing through a turn.
"I will place the machine gun next to the stream. It is only 200 meters away from the dirt road. The range of the machine gun is enough to hit the Japanese soldiers on the dirt road. Besides, there are not even trees here. The Japanese army will not think that there are any
We have ambushed machine guns." Song Tieshan wanted to interrupt Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng told him to be patient and wait for him to finish. "Machine guns are not used to shoot ordinary Japanese soldiers. If you want to hit, hit the important ones.
The target, which target is the most important, is of course the Japanese gunners."
"But this place is not suitable for holding on, so the machine gun only has one or two chances to fire." Tang Cheng turned his attention to Lao Dongbei and warned in a deep voice, "I will give you an ammunition hand, remember to lay out booby traps.
Regardless of whether you kill the target or not, you only have 50 rounds of bullets. After you finish shooting, immediately retreat southward along the stream, and I will arrange for someone to pick you up." After forcing Lao Dongbei to make a promise, Tangcheng only left 100 bullets for Lao Dongbei.
Arisaka rifle ammunition was issued, 50 rounds were used for sneak attacks on the Japanese troops, and the remaining 50 rounds were used for emergencies and retreat cover.
After laying out the positions of Laodongbei and the machine guns, Tang Cheng randomly selected three people from Song Tieshan's guerrillas, "I will give each of you 20 rounds of bullets. Your position is in that forest, and your task is to shoot."
Attack the Japanese army." At this point, Song Tieshan roughly understood the layout of Tang City. Generally, when encountering this kind of terrain, the party that is attacked will regard the forest as the main defense target, and will never think that the real attack will come from Yima Pingchuan.
behind.
"After the machine guns attack the Japanese troops here, they will either chase south along the stream or go south along the dirt road. This will be our second ambush point." A hillock a few hundred meters away from Laodongbei and the others.
It was the second ambush point chosen by Tangcheng. Standing on the hillock, no matter whether the Japanese army took the dirt road or the stream, they were within the shooting range of the guerrillas on the hillock.
"But Lijiapu is right behind us. If we can't stop the little devils, what will the villagers in Lijiapu do?" Song Tieshan has led the guerrillas in the Lijiapu area for more than half a month. Although he is not aware of the general environment,
He wasn't very familiar with it, but he knew that beyond this hillock was Lijia Pu.
Tang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at Song Tieshan, "Do you have any choice now? Once we can't stop the Japanese attack, Lijia Pu will be our third line of defense, and those fields, trees, and houses will be ours."
position, so you and your people had better cheer up, otherwise we will be defeated." Tang Cheng's idea is very simple, which is to resist continuously and sneak attack on the Japanese army at places and times they don't expect, so as to consume the Japanese army's strength.
