Li Yong and Zhang Yunbiao who attacked the Japanese stronghold encountered strong resistance from the enemy, but they still had the initiative in the battle, but there was a crisis on Sanbao's side.
When Sanbao heard the news from the observation post that the Japanese had already moved out, the arrogant Ishihara wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the guerrilla brigade in one fell swoop. Originally, his plan was to completely block the guerrillas' retreat path and gradually encircle and eliminate them.
The tactics adopted were also feasible, but he encountered the Eighth Route Army troops who were familiar with and mainly used guerrilla tactics.
Ishihara adopted a two-pronged rescue. In addition to a main force rushing straight along the main road, he also secretly sent another team from the trail directly to the stronghold to rescue.
What Sanbao encountered was the main force of the Japs. When he heard that the Japs were coming, Sanbao immediately ordered to prepare for battle. But soon, he heard a huge sound that he had never heard before, and the sound became louder and louder.
Coming closer and closer, Sambo, who was lying on the ground, even felt the vibration of the ground.
A Japanese tank appeared in his field of vision. "What is this?" Qu Changlin asked in surprise.
"Damn it, it's the Iron Bastard." Sanbao couldn't help but cursed.
Soon, the Japanese tanks drove into the minefield. Behind the tanks, there were many Japanese soldiers. Now they only hoped that the mines would damage the Japanese tanks. But Sanbao was disappointed to see that there were continuous explosions and black smoke under the tracks of the tanks.
The tank was shrouded, but the tank still moved in quickly.
Even the iron mines produced by military factories, the ones Sanbao had seen were all anti-infantry mines. Such mines could not destroy tanks, let alone the land mines made by Sanbao using gunpowder.
Sanbao was heartbroken to see that the Japanese tanks were advancing all the way without any sign of stopping. Most of the mines he had planted were detonated, and the Japanese soldiers behind him were moving forward quickly by stepping on the traces of their tracks.
Not to mention, there were still some Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, just like Sanbao used his bayonet to detect the landmines at Yangmingbao. Those mines that were not pressed down by the tanks were detected by the Japanese engineers. Soon, the Japanese mines were taken out one by one.
Or explode directly.
"Immediately send someone to inform Li Yong that the battle plan is cancelled, and the troops will evacuate immediately." Sanbao immediately ordered.
"Captain Qu, order the soldiers to prepare for battle." Sanbao gritted his teeth and shouted: "We must hold off the Japanese so that they can safely withdraw from the battle."
"Yes." Qu Changlin responded.
Under the leadership of Sanbao, the soldiers began to shoot at the Japs behind. What Sanbao thought was that as long as they stopped the Japs behind, it would be no big deal even if the tank passed by.
But Sanbao did not expect that the Japanese immediately launched a counterattack, and the firepower of the Third Squadron could not suppress the Japanese at all. The gun on the tank quickly turned to their ambush position.
As the tank burst, a shell hit the position, and the bodies of several soldiers were blown up. In anger, Sanbao picked up a machine gun and fired at the enemy tank, but there was only a clanging echo, and the machine gun could not do anything to it.
The Japanese began to rush over here, and the tank's muzzle quickly pointed at Sanbao, "Damn it!" When Sanbao saw the muzzle stop, he knew that the shells were about to hit, so he pounced to the side, and then
There was a loud noise, and a blanket of dust pressed down on him.
"Bah." Sanbao spit out. It seemed that he could no longer stop the Japanese. "Retreat." Sanbao shouted loudly, and he would continue to use his machine gun to suppress the attacking Japanese.
The troops quickly evacuated, but the Japs behind them were in hot pursuit. On Li Yong's side, the Japs rescue force had also arrived, and the enemies in the stronghold also took the opportunity to attack. Fortunately, Li Yong was well prepared, and he immediately ordered the troops to fight while
Withdraw, too, and the Japanese are chasing after them closely.
