The reason why Squad Leader Hao is able to take on the task of escorting the students this time is because of his military qualities.
Based on the intelligence brought back by Xiaoliu, Erniu, and Lao Zheng, Squad Leader Hao quickly determined that the weak point of the Japanese encirclement was located in the direction of the connection point between the Japanese on the left and the Japanese encirclement in front.
That is, northwest direction.
This is easy to understand. The Japanese formed an encirclement from all sides, and the blockade forces on all sides gradually weakened from the middle to both sides.
Therefore, the angle between these two military lines is exactly the weakest point, which happens to be in the direction of the base area.
After making up his mind, Squad Leader Hao did not hesitate and took the lead, leading the entire team to break through covertly from the northwest.
At this time, the Japanese squad, because they did not know the strength of Squad Leader Hao and his party, even regarded Squad Leader Hao and his team as opponents who had attacked the prisoner of war camp and the mine, so they did not dare to go deep in hastily. The encirclement was closed very slowly, which also gave Squad Leader Hao a
The time and opportunity for a group to break out from the northwest.
Following a gentle slope to the northwest, the team finally spotted the Japanese approaching, about 500 meters apart.
If Zhao Gang and his party were not located on the mountainside and covered by mountains and forests, they would not be able to see these Japanese.
Squad Leader Hao put down the binoculars lent to him by the platoon leader and waved his hand to signal the team to hide. Zhao Gang, Wen Jie, Lao Zheng and the soldiers of Squad 7 came closer at the signal of Squad Leader Hao.
Squad Leader Hao whispered: "Let me tell you the situation. The eight Japs are relatively spread out. The Japs have a machine gun and a grenade in their hands. Nothing else has been discovered yet. These two points must be dealt with immediately.
Knock it off."
"I have marked the specific location points with everyone on the land. The machine gunner is on the far left and the grenade launcher is at the middle point. Everyone should keep it in mind."
Having said this, Squad Leader Hao looked at Zhao Gang and Wenjie, "Comrade Zhao, Comrade Wenjie, I know that you two comrades are very good at marksmanship."
"When we break out later, I will lead the team to get closer in advance, and you two will be responsible for providing fire support from the rear using your marksmanship."
"After the battle below is over, I will clap my hands as a signal, and you will quickly follow."
"Yes!" Zhao Gang and Wenjie responded.
"Let's go! The students will stay behind for the time being." Squad Leader Hao gave the order.
The other students did not have many guns in their hands. In addition to the two rifles in the hands of Zhao Gang and Wenjie, there were also three. When Squad Leader Hao led his people to approach the Japanese in advance, Zhao Gang ordered the three students to serve as students.
The team's left, right and rear defense.
Then, Zhao Gang and Wenjie had a tacit understanding with each other. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, slowly followed Squad Leader Hao and his party while taking cover in the woods on both sides, and kept an eye on the situation of the Japanese on the lower ground at all times.
Monitor Hao's side, after about two or three minutes of touching.
The Japanese, Squad Leader Hao and his party were already less than 200 meters away.
The biggest advantage of Hao Daguang and his party at this moment is that the Japanese have not discovered them yet, and the two sides are getting closer and closer. Hao Daguang knows that if they get closer like this, they will inevitably be discovered by the Japanese, and if they are exposed first, this battle will not be easy to fight.<
/p>
Thinking of this, Hao Daguang pressed his hand and signaled the soldiers in the squad to take cover immediately.
The soldiers in the class usually learned some simple command gestures from Hao Daguang. Everyone immediately understood Hao Daguang's orders and lurked in place with the help of trees, grass and fallen leaves.
The soldiers understood what squad leader Hao Daguang meant.
This is to wait and wait for the little devil to come to your door. Active concealment can avoid exposure and keep the distance between you and the little devil as close as possible.
Time passed quietly in a somewhat nervous wait, and the seven Japanese soldiers wandered up, getting closer and closer to the hidden Hao Daguang and his party.
One hundred meters.
Eighty meters.
Sixty meters.
……
Getting closer and closer, the soldiers of Group 7 who did not dare to show their heads even heard the footsteps of the Japanese.
Originally everything was going smoothly, but when the distance between the two sides shortened to less than thirty meters, Hao Daguang would lead his team to launch a sudden attack, quickly kill the seven Japs, and then lead the student team to break out.
But no one could have imagined that at this moment, Hao Daguang noticed a Japanese man forty or fifty meters away through the gap in the trees. He suddenly screamed strangely and pointed his finger in the direction of the mountainside.
Broken!
Hao Daguang's heart skipped a beat as the students hid on the mountainside.
This little devil has discovered the student.
Not far from the screaming Japs, the Japs carrying a grenade seemed to have their eyes gleaming. He quickly took off the grenade and put it on the ground.
Hao Daguang was anxious. If the Japs shot up, the students would definitely be injured.
At this moment, even if it was not the best time to take action, there was nothing he could do. Hao Daguang, who did not dare to hesitate anymore, shouted, "Fight!"
The lingering sound was still echoing in the valley. Hao Daguang stood up with his gun, took aim, and fired in one go. A gunshot broke the dead silence of the mountain and at the same time, he shot the Japanese who was playing with the grenade in the chest.
The Japanese soldier fell down with a sound, and the grenade was unsupported. It hit the exposed gravel outside the soil with a clang, and seemed to have rolled down half a meter.
The battle broke out instantly.
Although the soldiers of Squad 7 didn't know why the squad leader ordered the attack in advance, they still chose to open fire as soon as possible out of their trust in the squad leader.
The Japanese grenadier soldier had been killed. While Hao Daguang was firing, deputy squad leader Zheng locked his target - the little Japanese holding a crooked light machine gun.
With a bang of gunfire, the Japanese machine gunner fell down, and the machine gun in his hand also fell to the ground.
Lao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The grenade launchers and light machine guns were all shot down. With the six little Japs left in front of him, it should be much easier to deal with.
The soldiers were about to charge down, when suddenly machine gun fire came from a distant tree crown. Two soldiers in the seventh squad were caught off guard. One was shot and died on the spot, and the other was injured.
"Sanwazi!"
Looking at the young soldier who fell to the ground, the old squad leader Hao Daguang's eyes were filled with tears.
"Hidden, hidden!" Hao Daguang roared. No one could have imagined that this cunning little devil also hid a machine gunner in the distant tree crown.
Team 7 was temporarily suppressed by firepower.
Before the remaining Japs could be eliminated in time, a young Japs picked up the crooked light machine gun that had been knocked to the ground and started firing at Squad 7.
The firepower of two light machine guns was blocked, and the soldiers of Group 7 were temporarily suppressed and unable to move.
At this critical moment, two gunshots rang out from behind the soldiers of Group 7, one was fired by Zhao Gang. After the gunshots were heard, the Japs on the tree crown fell down.
The strange thing is that the ghost's body did not fall from the tree.
But the light machine gun fire in the canopy stopped abruptly.
The other shot was fired by Wenjie. After the gunshot, the firepower of another light machine gun set up by the Japanese on a small gentle slope was directly knocked out.
Without the suppression of light machine gun fire, Hao Daguang, who was under great pressure, pulled out two grenades from his body, tore off the fuses, and threw them towards the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.
"Grenade!"
Several other soldiers also followed suit, especially the place where the grenade fell previously, so focus on taking care of it.
Amid the explosion, gunpowder smoke dispersed, Hao Daguang roared, and the soldiers of Squad 7 immediately launched a charge.
After a burst of gunfire, the remaining Japanese were all eliminated.
Hao Daguang clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Quick, cover the students to break out!"
