Chapter 249 The reinforcements are coming, and the reinforcements are running!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
There were two more explosions. This time it was not the Japanese that were blown up, but the two mortars that had just been fired.
Xu Yonghai looked surprised. Damn it, the Japanese's grenade seemed to have eyes. It didn't look at the target at all. It could hit its own artillery position directly from behind the bunker with the grenade.
This is hunting cattle across the mountain.
"Fuck, light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, sniper cover, infantry with bayonets on, kill the remaining dozen or so Japs."
"How dare you fucking pretend to be stupid."
"Remember, keep someone alive. I want to ask about the background of this group of devils."
As Xu Yonghai gave the order, the light and heavy machine guns roared wildly, and the bazooka fired rockets towards the Japanese bunker.
Taking advantage of this moment, the soldiers of the Ninth Company either followed the path or pulled the rope down to the bottom of the cliff, and rushed forward bravely with bayonets in hand.
The dozen or so Japanese soldiers behind the bunker knew that the Eighth Route Army was coming, but they couldn't raise their heads at all. The Eighth Route Army's machine gun fire was so powerful that it never stopped for a moment.
The machine gun fire was both tricky and fierce. Every enemy hiding position was suppressed by at least two light and heavy machine guns. After one machine gun finished firing its bullets, the other machine gun continued to suppress it, allowing the suppressive fire to continue. They cooperated very well with each other.
tacit agreement.
The Japanese kept throwing grenades behind the bunker, but because they were lying on the ground and did not dare to stretch out their hands, the Japanese's grenades were thrown very close and could not be reached at all.
The soldiers of the Ninth Company were able to throw grenades into the Japanese bunker.
But most of the grenades thrown in were picked up by the Japanese and thrown further away.
"Delay the grenade for 3 seconds before throwing it!" Seeing this, the ninth company commander shouted loudly, "Listen to my order and prepare!"
"one!"
At this moment, the soldiers put the large knob or melon grenade in their hands and pulled the string when they heard the company commander shouting one.
"two!"
"three!"
On the third count, the soldiers threw out the big tumors in their hands.
That is to say, the soldiers dare to do this with melon grenades and big knobs, but they will never dare to do this with hand grenades made in the border area.
Because only God knows how many seconds it will take for the grenade made in the border area to explode after the fuse is pulled. Some will explode in one or two seconds, and some will explode in six or seven seconds.
At this time, the soldiers in the front row of the Ninth Company were only about 30 meters away from the Japanese.
The Japanese also understood Chinese and knew that the Eighth Route Army was delaying the delivery of grenades. Once the grenades exploded overhead, the consequences would be disastrous.
Several Japanese soldiers stood up with submachine guns and tried to shoot the bombardiers of the Ninth Company. However, the moment they stood up, they were shot in the head by snipers on the cliff.
In an instant, a large grenade exploded in the sky above the Japanese bunker. The short and continuous explosions were deafening, and shrapnel roared down with the breath of death.
The soldiers rushed towards the Japanese bunker...
At the same time, at the left wing of Chenjiayu.
Hearing the fierce sound of gunfire from the front of Chenjiayu, Masuko Tadao knew that the first combat group had been exposed.
Masuko Tadao thought proudly, fortunately he was wise enough to make second-hand preparations, otherwise the entire sneak attack plan would probably fail.
The third combat group was on guard at 200 meters away. The second combat group had already arrived at the bottom of the earth cliff and was taking out the climbing hook lock from the sack.
Several Japs first threw the grappling hooks to the top of the cliff. Since most of the top of the cliff was filled with soil, the grappling hooks could not hold firmly. The Japs threw the grappling hooks several times before catching the stone.
After confirming that the grappling hook was fixed, the seven devils grabbed the climbing rope and began to climb upward.
The Jaap climbed to the top of the cliff, popped his head up and took a look. He didn't find the Eighth Route Army, so he climbed up with his hands on it.
Then he stayed on the spot and guarded the surroundings to cover the Japanese coming up from behind.
"Haaaagu!"
The leader of the second group shouted in a low voice, and seven more Japanese began to climb up.
The Japs and Japs were only halfway up the climb when suddenly there was a loud sound that shook the mountains, and then they felt nothing.
At this time, Tadao Masuko was lying on the slope using binoculars to observe the situation on the side of the first combat group.
Less than five minutes into the exchange of fire, the first combat group of the advance team was completely wiped out.
"A bunch of trash!" Masuko Tadao cursed angrily.
boom!
A sound like a drum beating in my ears!
Masuko Tadao had never heard such an explosion before. With a bang, the whole earth shook violently, and his eardrums were about to be shattered.
It was like a thunderous explosion in the vast sky, and the movement was so great that it was like shaking mountains and shaking the sky, destroying the earth.
He hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that the child's hole shrank suddenly with disbelief on his face. He saw that the earth cliff that the second combat team climbed suddenly bloomed.
The ground was shaking violently, and the soil kicked up by the explosion was sixty or seventy meters high!
The Japanese standing or squatting nearby suddenly fell to the ground.
When the mud mist dissipated, I saw that a large piece of the entire cliff had been chipped away, as if it had been gnawed by dogs, and the entire second combat group had disappeared.
Either he was killed by the explosion, or even if he was not killed by the explosion, he would definitely be buried alive.
idiot!
Even if Tadao Masuko is a pig-brained person, he still knows the trick of falling into the Eighth Route Army.
What's more, with the remaining thirty or so people, it's a question of whether they can escape smoothly, let alone a sneak attack on the Eighth Route Headquarters.
"This is a trap!"
"retreat!"
"Quick, quick!"
Masuko Tadao's face was livid, his eyes were scanning the surroundings warily, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone.
After receiving Masuko Tadao's order, the Japanese turned around and ran away without stopping for a moment.
After running less than a hundred meters, the sharp whistling sound of artillery shells sounded in the ears of the Japanese soldiers, and they suddenly scattered and fell to the ground to avoid the shells.
These Japs are all elite veterans with rich combat experience. They can determine the point of impact just by the whistling sound of artillery shells flying through the air.
Two or three Japanese who couldn't escape were hit by the explosion, instantly turned into flesh and blood, and fell into a pool of blood.
There are ghosts who want to save me.
"idiot!"
"Ignore them and keep running!"
Masuko Tadao yelled fiercely, and the Japanese were about to get up and continue running, when a series of rapid gunshots like popping beans suddenly sounded around them.
"Baga, it's over now!"
Masuko Tadao's face instantly turned pale.
The explosives on the cliff were buried under Xu Yonghai's order. In addition to the front, there were a large number of bombs buried on the left and right sides of Chenjiayu.
Because Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang speculated that the sneak attack from Chenjiayu was probably the Yamamoto special agent team.
Considering the combat effectiveness of the special forces, Xu Yonghai was extremely well prepared. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a dragnet.
Although he failed to blow up all the Japs at once, he still had a backup plan and ambushed the Seventh Company and the Eighth Company on both sides outside Chenjiayu.
And cut off the Japanese's escape route. Faced with the absolute superiority in firepower and troop strength, the remaining 30 or so Japanese were quickly annihilated.
…
"Brigade commander, reinforcements have arrived!"
On the cliff road in Hanjiacun, a big leftist said in surprise to Naoomi Hattori who was hiding under the chassis of a truck.
"Reinforcements have arrived? Where are they?"
Hattori Naoomi asked repeatedly.
The battlefield observation group has been besieged here for more than half an hour. Almost all the elite Japanese guards have been killed and injured. Most of the Japanese officers have been killed or injured. In the end, there are dozens of officers left. They will be headshot if they show up, so they are all hidden under the car.
.
The Jaap Zuo hurriedly said: "Commander of the Brigade, listen, there is the sound of a car, it must be the 9th Brigade coming to rescue us!"
Hattori Naoomi lay on the ground and listened carefully, and sure enough he heard the roar of the motor, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Yoshi, the 9th Brigade has finally arrived!"
"We are saved, the Eighth Route Army is going to be doomed now!"
Hattori Naoomi looked overjoyed, his face showing a hint of joy after a disaster.
The Japs left said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, give the order to prepare for a breakout. With the arrival of the 9th Brigade, the Eighth Route Army will definitely be vulnerable!"
Hattori Naoomi said: "We can't break out of the encirclement yet, Kato-kun, haven't you noticed that the Eighth Route Army's marksmanship is terrifyingly accurate? Whoever takes the lead at this time will die. What's more, the entire 9th Brigade may not be able to come so quickly. This is very dangerous."
It may just be a convoy of the 9th Brigade, and the number of troops may not be very large. We will go out after the soldiers of the 9th Brigade have driven away all eight groups."
"Hey!" The Japanese leader shouted loudly in Japanese, "Reinforcements are here, no one is allowed to show their face!"
From under the truck, a sparse response came from the Japanese officers.
At this time, there was no exchange of fire at the cliff, so the Japanese reinforcement convoy did not find the First Company and the Sword Squadron on the cliffs on both sides of the road.
Two imitation Vickers armored vehicles led the charge, followed by more than a dozen Japanese trucks, all of which were loaded with Japanese guns and ammunition.
On both sides of the convoy, there were hundreds of Japanese soldiers running sweating profusely. These Japanese soldiers had just heard the sound of artillery and ran over from Dagou Bay, and they happened to arrive at the same time as the Japanese convoy.
The driver of the Japanese armored vehicle saw large amounts of smoke rising in front of him through the narrow observation window, and immediately asked the machine gunner to prepare for battle.
This kind of armored vehicle is a replica of the old British Vickers armored vehicle purchased by the Japanese. The armor thickness is 6mm, and the weapons it is equipped with are two 7.7mm machine guns.
Since this section of the cliff road is not very long, the convoy of the Japanese battlefield observation group accounts for most of it, so Lu Yingjun does not want to let the Japanese in.
The two Japanese imitation Vickers armored vehicles soon came within 50 meters of each other, and Lu Yingjun gave the order to attack.
Four rockets roared with tail flames towards the two Japanese armored vehicles and two trucks in front of the Japanese.
The rocket launchers were members of the Sword Squadron. Even at this distance, the hit rate was extremely high even with a moving target.
Each rocket had a different target. Two Japanese trucks and two armored vehicles were hit at once.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The next moment, accompanied by four deafening explosions, trucks and armored vehicles rose into the flames into four clouds of mushroom smoke that were more than ten meters high!
The Japanese in the trucks and armored vehicles were instantly blown to pieces amidst the violent jolts and shaking before they could react.
Immediately afterwards, nine groups of rocket launchers from a company also launched rockets from the Japanese convoy, but the accuracy was much worse than that of the members of the Sword Squadron. However, they could not withstand the large number, and the Japanese reinforcement convoy was instantly enveloped in fireballs and gunpowder smoke.
"Fire!"
Dazzling tongues of flame suddenly shot out from the cliffs on both sides, like the flaming whip in the hand of the God of Death, lashing out at the Japanese soldiers.
At first, the crooked light machine gun on the Japanese truck could still provide counter-suppression fire, but as the second round of rockets hit, more than half of the truck was destroyed.
The Japanese soldiers were all on or near the truck, and they suffered heavy casualties immediately.
The Japanese soldiers who were shot fell down one after another.
The remaining Japs couldn't withstand such powerful firepower, so they turned around and ran away, even leaving the truck behind.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the reinforcements from the 9th Brigade have escaped!"
The Jag Zuo was lying under the car, using his binoculars to watch the Japs escaping on the road, and said to Naoomi Hattori with a livid face.
"Nani?"
When the gunfire stopped, Hattori Naoomi thought that the Eighth Route Army had escaped, but unexpectedly it was reinforcements from the 9th Brigade that escaped?
