Tangcheng still had some explosives obtained from the gold mine, but the vanguard of the puppet army arrived too quickly. Tangcheng did not have enough time to bury these explosives on the highway. Tangcheng looked down at his watch to calculate the time.
At that time, the walkie-talkie rang again. It turned out that behind the more than 100 vanguard troops of the puppet army, there were also about 300 mixed troops of the puppet army. This new situation not only did not arouse the alarm of Tangcheng, but actually made it alarming.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I felt something was wrong just now!" Tang Cheng whispered to Captain Zhang. "There were about 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops who left the county. The number of puppet troops we attacked in Huaishu Township was up to 300. This puppet army
The vanguard troops were only over a hundred people, which meant that there were a thousand Japanese and puppet troops walking in the middle. No Japanese commander would arrange their troops in such a formation. Now it’s better. What I was worried about was not
Didn't show up." Captain Zhang heard this and was about to ask Tang Cheng what he was worried about.
But Tang Cheng's attention was not on Captain Zhang at the moment. In the telescope, he had seen that among the Japanese and puppet troops appearing behind him, not only were there light and heavy machine guns, but he also saw mortars. "Old Zhang, the situation is a little bit...
No, take your men and retreat immediately. We may not be able to fight this time." In line with the principle of caution, Tang Cheng planned to terminate the operation, but the opponent's firepower configuration was a bit beyond his expectation. Fortunately, he worked so hard to get so far.
Shanlu rushed over, but Tangcheng asked everyone to retreat. Captain Zhang first expressed his incomprehension.
"See for yourself!" Tang Cheng didn't bother to explain anything. He just handed the telescope to Captain Zhang and pointed out the direction. Captain Zhang took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Tang Cheng, his expression immediately changed.
Changed. "You understand now! These two groups of Japanese and puppet troops together are close to four hundred in number, and they also have light and heavy machine guns and mortars. If we want to attack them, we must be positioned closer to the front. This pair of
We are at a disadvantage."
"Once they react and use light and heavy machine guns and mortars to suppress us, how can you guarantee that we can safely withdraw into Yangshan?" Tang Cheng's words made Captain Zhang subconsciously turn around and look at Yangshan behind him. They are now
The location was at least 2 miles away from the foot of the mountain. Such a long retreat distance was indeed very unsafe. Captain Zhang, who put down the telescope, no longer hesitated and immediately followed Tang Cheng's instructions and led his team members to evacuate to the foot of the mountain.
At this time, Tangcheng called Huang Cheng to his side, "You immediately bring the mortar and follow the guerrillas to retreat. As soon as my whistle blows, you fire to cover."
Let's retreat." Huang Cheng was told, and Tang Cheng arranged for his team members to retreat as well, leaving only three snipers. "You three find a place by yourselves. After my machine gun here has finished three magazines, you will
Play freely, and after each one of them has completed one bullet bridge, they will retreat alternately." After Tang Cheng made some arrangements, he is now in the most forward position.
With the help of the cover of weeds in front of him, Tang Cheng's current position was only about 200 meters away from the puppet troops on the road. Turning around again and confirming that Captain Zhang and the others had quickly retreated to the foot of the mountain, Tang Cheng opened the light machine gun in front of him.
and put his finger on the trigger of the light machine gun. At this time, the puppet soldiers on the road did not realize that the danger was approaching them. Some tired and panting puppet soldiers were secretly congratulating themselves that they were about to
Arrive at Xiaoli Village.
At this time, a shooting suddenly broke out in Tangcheng. With the rapid sound of gunfire, the puppet soldiers on the road were swept away in a large area with the sound of gunfire. When they came to their senses, Tangcheng had already started fighting.
After expending all the bullets in the first magazine, the Japanese and puppet soldiers walking behind them also heard the gunshots coming from the front. Just as Tang Cheng replaced the magazine and pulled the trigger again, he was shot
The puppet troops were caught off guard and launched a counterattack.
But it is a pity that the puppet soldiers who were attacked have not found the exact location of the attackers. Seeing that some of them were shot and fell down, finally some veterans discovered the location of Tangcheng. Amidst the shouts of the veterans
, many puppet soldiers raised their guns and shot at Tangcheng. Tangcheng was 200 meters away from them. Even if they faced the Japanese army, Tangcheng would not worry. So they quickly used up the second magazine.
He just replaced the new magazine slowly, but did not leave immediately.
The Japanese and puppet troops following the vanguard of the puppet army subconsciously accelerated their march after hearing the sound of gunfire. The Tangcheng side had just finished the third magazine, and the Japanese and puppet troops chasing up from behind
It had already appeared at the turning point of the kilometer. Tang Cheng, who had been paying close attention to the battlefield situation, after using up the third magazine, took the light machine gun and left without looking back, leaving behind the Japanese and puppet troops.
Just bullet casings all over the floor.
The three snipers hiding behind Tang Cheng saw that Tang Cheng had retreated with a light machine gun.
They fired their sniper rifles one after another. The officers and machine gunners among the puppet troops on the road immediately became the focus of the three of them. In just a few breaths, the puppet troops on the road became scattered. The three snipers
Keeping Tang Cheng's instructions in mind, they retreated immediately after each of them destroyed one bullet bridge, instead of staying where they were and continuing to struggle with the puppet troops.
Tang Cheng's retreat speed was not slow, but the speed of these three snipers was not slow either. Seeing that the last sniper had also begun to retreat, Tang Cheng blew the whistle. Huang Cheng, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time,
After hearing the whistle, they fired three mortars one kilometer in the distance. The Japanese and puppet troops who caught up after hearing the gunshots were also shocked at this moment. They did not expect that the attackers actually had mortars.
In hand.
The three artillery shells fired by Huang Cheng did not cause much casualties to the puppet troops on the road, but his shelling effectively covered the retreat of several people in Tangcheng. Returning to Tangcheng at the foot of the mountain,
Realizing that Captain Zhang seemed unwilling to give in, he grinned and said, "Looking at you, do you feel disappointed? If you feel really annoyed, why not let us tease them here!" Tang Cheng said.
Naturally, he said it casually. When he saw the subsequent Japanese and puppet troops appearing, he had an idea in his mind.
Faced with Captain Zhang's confusion, Tang Cheng walked quickly to Huang Cheng and signaled the other party to adjust the angle of the mortar. "It's pointless to fight against the puppet troops. When I retreated just now, I saw many Japanese and puppet troops coming from behind.
We're catching up on the highway. You take a rest first, and I'll tell you later when I'm going to shoot. These shells come in groups of two. You shoot two groups out first." Huang Cheng had nine mortar shells at his feet, which were enough for Huang Cheng.
Four rounds.
While Tang Cheng was talking, the three snipers also retreated to the foot of the mountain. The puppet troops on the other side of the road were still in chaos. Tang Cheng climbed up a big tree behind him and saw those who followed up.
The puppet army was about to enter the ambush section before. He immediately called Huang Cheng to fire artillery shells at the kilometer. Two groups of four artillery shells were fired by Huang Cheng in succession. Looking at the landing points of the artillery shells, they all landed accurately on the road.
On the ground, many puppet troops were affected by the explosion.
The Japanese and puppet troops who had just arrived at the scene immediately noticed the foot of the mountain based on the direction of the artillery shells. How could the Japanese major who led the command swallow this bad breath? He was so angry that he immediately commanded a group of Japanese troops and two groups of puppet troops.
, toward the foot of the mountain
They rushed over here. Upon seeing this, Tang Cheng on the tree branch immediately called Captain Zhang to explain a few words in a low voice, and then asked Huang Cheng to continue firing another round of artillery shells at the Japanese and puppet troops on the road.
The combat capability of the Japanese army is definitely higher than that of the puppet army. Hearing the whistling sound of mortar blasts in mid-air, the Japanese soldiers on the road have already begun to take cover. The puppet army is not good at fighting, but its ability to save lives is not small. Look at
When the Japanese troops jumped off the roadbed, they naturally rushed down the road too. The two shells fired by Huang Cheng did not hurt the Japanese and puppet troops, but this naked provocation made the Japanese major officer black-faced. Concealed
The three snipers at the foot of the mountain also opened fire at this time, killing the Japanese and puppet troops rushing toward the foot of the mountain.
There was a distance of more than 2 miles. Before these Japanese and puppet troops could rush to the foot of the mountain, more than 30 of them had been shot and fell. When the Japanese major on the road side saw this, he was even more annoyed. He ignored the other Japanese soldiers around him.
After the officer's dissuasion, more than 50 Japanese troops were mobilized to fight towards the foot of the mountain. The second batch of Japanese troops who rushed over were obviously much smarter. They did not come straight towards the foot of the mountain, but divided into groups.
Two roads, moving in a circuitous way towards the foot of the mountain.
What the Japanese Army Major could think of, Tang Cheng had already thought of. Captain Zhang and the others, who had left early, were hiding around Tang City, waiting for the Japanese soldiers to fall into the trap. The sound of gunfire had been sparse and monotonous, but they rushed towards
Among the Japanese and puppet troops at the foot of the mountain, some people kept getting shot. In the short distance of more than 2 miles, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses, but without orders from their superiors, they could only hold on but did not dare to retreat.
As the Japanese and puppet troops caught up, the gunfire gradually became more intense. Tang Cheng simply stayed on the branch of the tree and did not get down. He was condescending and his shots never missed, which put great pressure on these Japanese and puppet troops. A group of troops had been sent out.
There were more than a hundred people, but they still couldn't rush to the foot of the mountain. The Japanese soldier on the road was about to explode his lungs. But at the same time, he also suppressed the anger in his heart, and he felt more and more that this group of attackers was not simple.
.
Could it be a regular force of the Eighth Route Army? The Japanese Major with a gloomy face thought to himself. He knew the combat effectiveness of Tubal Road, and no armed force of Tubal Road had the guts to attack them in large numbers. In his heart
Although he was full of doubts, he did not lose the qualities that an officer should have. He also heard that the number of people on the other side did not seem to be large, and there were only a few people coming and going, shooting and fighting.
