Chapter 492

The three mortar shells of the third squad did not cause fatal damage to the Japanese troop transport ship, but instead gave the Japanese troop transport ship time to start and accelerate. The waves at the stern were surging and rolling, providing strong impetus for the hull.

"Damn it, I want to run away!" The anxious squad leader Huang of the third squad pulled off his helmet, picked up the hot mortar barrel, grabbed the remaining two shells, and went to chase the troops ship that had gradually accelerated along the river.

"Squad Leader! Squad Leader! Wait for us!" The soldiers of the third squad rushed towards the squad leader, and the squad leader was also blushed.

"There are people over there!" The Japanese soldiers on the boat found a faint view of the reeds on the shore. A group of people were chasing the troop transport ship, and the person in front was fighting against a thick mortar barrel.

"Baga!" Akino Nao finally found the guys who were shelling the troop ship. He immediately had red eyes, picked up a rifle, aimed at the person chasing the troop ship on the shore, and issued an order and shouted: "Fire me! Hurry, kill them!" Akino Nao Nao was very regretful that he did not reserve a team of soldiers on the shore to cover the troop ship to enter the river to evacuate, but as the soldiers who were cut off the rear were everywhere in the enemy's base.

It is very unrealistic to dock the troops and destroy these terrifying Eighth Route Army. When the ship docks, it will become the best fixed target for guns. There is no need for the troops and ships to dock. A grenade thrown from the shore will be enough to cause heavy casualties for Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese soldiers on the boat were found on the shore who kept shooting with guns. The soldiers of the third squad quickly bent down and lowered their bodies and walked through the reeds quickly. The lush reeds around them were blown up with balls of debris and leaves, but they did not hurt him at all. Although they could no longer see the figure of Squad Leader Huang, the Japanese soldiers knew that the danger still could not leave them.

Even the weak reeds, the dense reeds were not allowed to penetrate the bullets. When they encountered the round and hard reed poles, the bullets that were constantly weakened by the potential energy were finally flying in the reeds, covering the body of the third shift to a certain extent.

"Baga! Accelerate! Pull the power to the maximum! You stupid pigs! Full speed! Full speed, I need the maximum power!"

Without even the urging of Akino, the captain of the troop transport ship kept shouting loudly through the sound tube through the sound tube. In order to survive, he was manipulating the troop transport ship to speed up as much as possible.

After running wildly among the reeds for a while, after chasing a river bend, Squad Leader Huang seized the opportunity to slow down when the Japanese troops ship turned, quickly set up a cannon barrel at the bend and set it on the gun. He pulled out a shell and placed it at the muzzle. He stared at the troops ship that was turning with hatred, gritted his teeth and waited for the troops ship to enter the preset shell target position.

Several Japanese soldiers with sharp eyes on the bow of the ship vaguely discovered that the people chasing the ship had already set up mortars on the shore beside the river bend, waiting for them, and shouted in horror: "There is there!"

"Let's fire, fire quickly! Kill him!" Akino Nao shouted loudly. The ship had limited mobility in the waterway, which was the best target for firepower on the shore. He could only hope that his soldiers could kill the other party before the other party's shell was fired.

The bow of the troops transport ship was loudly sounded, and the bullets rushed towards the position of the third squad with a sharp roar. However, the position Huang took was extremely tricky and fully utilized the mortar's bending ability. The Japanese army's bullets fell one after another, and could only land on the reeds and river mud helplessly.

Boom! ~ The fourth shell of the third squad directly exploded a fireball from the bow of the troops. The hull shook violently. The Japanese soldiers in the cabin screamed and tilted around, as if the ship was about to capsize. Faced with a critical moment of life and death, even the people with stable psychological qualities could not help but lose their usual calmness. Some Japanese soldiers even screamed like women.

The Japanese soldiers who were shooting firepower at the shore near the bow were the most unfortunate. They screamed and were blown out of the ship by the explosion shock wave and fell into the river. They kept struggling. The soldiers next to Squad Leader Huang did not miss this opportunity. They immediately put down the stones and raised their guns to kill the enemy falling into the river.

The glass in the cockpit of the troop carrier was completely shattered by explosions. The captain of the troop carrier who operated the rudder was cut by the broken glass and shrapnel, covered his face and rolled in the cockpit with screams. The ship had lost control and slowly turned on the river.

"Baga! Hurry up, go and put out the fire!" Akino Nao yelled in a panic. The control of the weapons performance of these Eighth Route Army was simply terrible. He simply suspected that the so-called Eighth Route Army was the elite that China had concealed its future.

In order to avoid the deadly firepower of the third squad, Japanese soldiers had to draw water from the other side to expel the fire caused by the blown-up of the ship's bow. On the other side, they quickly sent someone to replace the injured captain and control the ship.

After weighing the last shell in his hand, the third squad leader said unsatisfiedly: "It's really not strong enough, let's do another one!" The shell in the hull only exploded a small hole half a meter in diameter at the bow of the ship, and did not cause fatal damage to the hull. The combustion caused was in a blink of an eye and the flames were extinguished by the Japanese soldiers on the ship.

Mortar shells were originally used to deal with infantry, but they were still not enough to pose a threat to the troop transport ship. The 38-gun bullet with insufficient caliber was simply jumping on the hull. If it was a Type 92 infantry cannon here, it was estimated that two shells would be enough for the entire ship to go down the river to feed the turtle.

The shells hit the muzzle, and Squad Leader Huang aimed again to launch. The soldiers immediately covered their ears with cleverness. The sound of the firing was so deafening. The Japanese on the transport ship had ignored the firepower of the third squad's rifle and used anything that could be used on their hands to force the hull and leaned against the other side of the river, hoping to reduce the hit rate of the mortar by distance.

His eyes were staring at the Japanese troop transport ship and calmed down and aimed, but after a while, Squad Leader Huang finally sighed and shook his head, took back the shells, and muttered in a low voice: "Damn, this business is not cost-effective. Four shells have killed a few Japanese. I'm losing!"

Squad Leader Huang made a small plan in his mind and felt that it was a big loss. If it were put in normal battles, the Japanese who had overturned four mortar shells were at least double digits, and the results of the battle are not as good as those of rifle shooting. Moreover, Squad 3 has no ships at this moment. It is basically unlikely that one squad's troops would wipe out a whole ship of Japanese.

Even if he hit another shot, it would be a hole in the hull at most, and it would not be enough to sink the ship. The last shell had no effect on the result of the battle. Squad Leader Huang finally gave up his plan to give the enemy the last shot. The shells were not used for this kind of waste, and each shot had to be used on the blade.

"Squad leader! Why don't you fire a gun?!" The soldiers under his command were surprised that the squad leader actually let the enemy go. In the past, the squad leader was not that easy to talk to the enemy, and killing them all was an old tradition of the Fourth Company.

"Save shells! It's not worth letting us waste shells on these garbage. Use bullets to send them away." Squad Leader Huang carefully twisted the fuze of the mortar shell in his hand and closed the fuze safety. The shells are much more expensive than grenades, and it's just a little bit of money to save.

In the reeds on the shore, bullets continued to pour out, sweeping towards the Japanese troops' transport ships.

The Japanese troop transport ship could not care about the bullet rain of the third shift on the shore. It increased its horsepower to break through the waves, and it left the range of the third shift, and gradually moved away.

On the water surface of the Nanziya River, several Japanese corpses were floating on the water surface, telling the helplessness of the Japanese army's retreat.

August indicates that the harvest season is about to begin, and all bases once again usher in the most important period of the year!

It determines the basic guarantee for maintaining the survival and combat power of the military and civilians in the base area, and is also the most critical period for fighting for the right to survive with the invaders. After the fourth company of the 12th District Team, Wang Bao, the captain of the 12th District Team, tried the situation and adjusted the combat plan from active offense to active defense, which laid the foundation for the autumn harvest work.

In early and mid-August, the summer offensive launched by the main forces of each base area was coming to an end. The Japanese who were beaten up did not see any signs of withdrawing the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China. On the contrary, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army had no intention of stopping when they were ready. The main forces seemed to have discussed with each other and took advantage of the situation to launch large-scale autumn offensive battles one after another. In order to ensure the autumn harvest operation, they should restrain the Japanese and puppet troops as much as possible.

This is not good news for local Japanese and puppet troops who rely on local economy to feed on food.

Japanese imperialism was extremely powerful, and all the economy was inclined to become warlike, causing serious imbalance in economic development. Japan wanted to swallow elephants with a small island country, and most young and strong men were recruited into the army. Basic agriculture was almost severely stagnant. Large-scale famine occurred in Japan. The Japanese army used war to support the war and plundered resources from the occupied areas without regard for consequences to make up for the deficit of the island. In this vicious cycle, even though the Japanese government continued to force its people to move to China, attempting to completely consolidate the occupied areas, under the continuous harassment and destruction of the anti-Japanese armed forces, the Japanese army's advantage at the beginning of the war was gradually losing.

To a certain extent, the Japanese army relied on the traitors in the occupied areas to raise war materials. Even if the Japanese and puppet troops in the occupied areas swept and plundered, only a very meager little would fall into their pockets in the end. Most of the food and other materials plundered from China were used to support the needs of major battlefields in Asia.

The people in the occupied areas will not sit still and wait for death. As the saying goes, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. The anti-Japanese armed forces have never allowed the Japanese to live a peaceful life. In this war where you die or I live, every resource will be fought for by both sides.
