Chapter 76 The little devil wants to escape
Perhaps because he was bullied by Wang Zhilong before, the Japanese launched a charge like crazy as soon as they got up.
In addition, the Japanese set up the mortar position and shot them one by one, which suppressed Wang Zhilong and the two platoons of soldiers. Not only was the difference in the number of people, but the gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese was also quite different in weapons and equipment.
Boom boom boom... With the sound of explosions, grenades flew out and landed in the charge of Japanese Japanese team. The Eighth Route Army also began to counterattack. Although there was not enough heavy firepower such as artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army's grenades were not vegetarians!
Boom... Suddenly, a loud bang made the earth tremble, but a melon grenade drew a long arc and fell into the Japanese artillery position. It exploded directly in a wooden box containing mortar shells, detonating the mortar shells. Several mortars around and the Japanese gunners were all blown away together.
"Okay, damn, pretty! Who threw the grenade? He threw it so far, he caught up with the mortar!" A cheer came from the trenches in the distance, and the platoon leader of the two rows of reinforcements sent by the arsenal was the platoon leader of one of the two rows of soldiers.
"Haha... Of course it's our squad leader, otherwise who can throw the grenade so far and so accurately?" Ai Dongguo also laughed excitedly and shouted.
Pup puff puff... As soon as Ai Dongguo finished speaking, a bush of bullets shot into the mound of earth in front of the trenches, splashing some soil. Then, another explosion sounded in front of the trenches, and even in the trenches not far away, but the approaching Japanese also threw the melon grenades.
"Stop talking nonsense! The machine gun, wiped out these Japanese devils for me, and the grenades were greeting," Wang Zhilong cursed in anger, and then threw a grenade in the direction of dense gunfire.
With the help of trench fortifications, although Wang Zhilong and his team still had difficulty defending, they could at least temporarily block the Japanese. In comparison, the Japanese who were constantly charging, with Wang Zhilong's grenade comparable to a mortar, killed most of their heavy weapons, and their attack power was obviously insufficient, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Hmm?" Wang Zhilong suddenly noticed that the gunshots were diluted. He looked at the Japanese and found that they had retreated. He couldn't help but frowned: "I want to run away? It seems that these Japanese people don't want to fight a war of attrition with us anymore. However, since they are here, they still want to run away? How easy is it?"
Wang Zhilong was determined to fight back, but the deputy company commander who came from the arsenal with two platoons was a little hesitant. Their mission was to block the enemy and ensure the safety of the arsenal. Although the Japanese retreated, they still had hundreds of people, and these hundreds of people would definitely not gain any advantage if they chased.
In response to this, Wang Zhilong, who had expected it, directly asked them to provide some grenades and ammunition, and he wanted to take the reconnaissance platoon to pursue it.
The deputy company commander thought about it and considered that Wang Zhilong had shown his powerful combat power before, he did not refuse. After all, although Wang Zhilong was the squad leader, he belonged to the independent regiment, and he, the deputy company commander, could not command Wang Zhilong. Wang Zhilong insisted on chasing him, but he could not stop him. What's more, Wang Zhilong and others had war horses, which was completely equivalent to a strengthened cavalry squad. Even if they could not do anything to the Japanese, they could retreat calmly.
Wang Zhilong was not in a hurry to chase. After the Japanese retreated a little further, he called on the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad to get on the horse and chase him from behind. He chased him closer, and threw out the grenade from the horse's back to greet him again.
Because Wang Zhilong threw the grenade far away, the grenade flew for two or three seconds in the air. After it fell, it exploded directly into the marching team behind the Japanese, with amazing lethality.
After Wang Zhilong threw out three grenades in succession and killed 10 or 20 Japanese devils, the Japanese devils seemed to be angry with him and built artillery positions on the spot...
"Hurry, dodge!" Wang Zhilong, who had slightly changed his face as the Japanese set up a mortar, couldn't help but greet Ai Dongguo and others and rode their horses away from the place and drilled into the woods beside them. As soon as they entered the woods, there were already rumbling sounds on the road.
"Brother, what should I do? The Japanese mortars are not vague!" Ai Dongguo frowned.
Jiang Yi also frowned and said unwillingly: "We have too few people, otherwise we wouldn't be afraid of them. These Japanese devils are just better than us because of their equipment."
"You are waiting here, I'll kill their artillery," Wang Zhilong, who was frowning, turned over and touched the Japanese artillery position from the woods on one side. But before he could get closer, a shuttle of bullets swept across the trees and the surrounding mounds, which scared Wang Zhilong to stop.
Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward in the rain of bullets, as footsteps approached, the monk came with people, and they could see something strange, so Wang Zhilong had to give up. These Japanese devils were obviously afraid of being attacked by him, and they also shot and prepared for the test before retreating.
"Squad leader, the Japanese are running away!" The monk who came over with a machine gun was about to hold the fire when he saw that the Japanese were retreating quickly.
Seeing the Japanese artillerymen quickly put away their mortars and retreated, Wang Zhilong couldn't help but say angrily: "I know! Go back and ride a horse and continue chasing! Japanese, even if our small reconnaissance platoon cannot destroy you, we will still entangle you and drag you into tired soldiers."
"Song Genwa, hurry back to the regiment headquarters and inform the regiment of the situation. Please send troops to support as soon as possible. Otherwise, when this group of Japanese devils runs away, our independent regiment will not be able to eat this piece of fat," Wang Zhilong, who returned to the woods before, ordered Song Genwa, and then turned over and continued to take the others to chase the Japanese devils.
Time passed slowly, and a few hours passed in a blink of an eye. Even though the Yamazaki Brigade, which was bitten by Wang Zhilong and the others, even though he was anxious to withdraw, he only ran twenty or thirty miles. In the meantime, facing the repeated harassment of Wang Zhilong and others, he threw two grenades from time to time. The Yamazaki Brigade killed and injured nearly a hundred people.
The Japanese probably never dreamed that in the past, they were chasing the Chinese army to kill, and they were unstoppable all the way, but this time they became a dog of a despair. Hundreds of people were actually chased by Wang Zhilong’s squad of just 10 or 20 people. Because Wang Zhilong and the others were riding horses, even if Yamazaki Brigade wanted to turn around and destroy them, they would not be able to do so.
They couldn't shake it off, so they went back to chase them. Seeing that it was getting dark, Yamazaki Brigade had to find a place to build a temporary position to rest. After running for a few hours, the Japanese were also raised by their father and mother, and their bodies were not iron-clad, so they naturally needed to rest.
What's more, they have realized that they have entered the base of the Eighth Route Army. In this place, they are not familiar with the place and are rushing to the road at night. If they encounter large troops of the Eighth Route Army again, wouldn't they fall into the trap?
However, they really underestimated the reaction speed of the Eighth Route Army. Although the Eighth Route Army did not have mobile troops, Li Yunlong's cavalry company, as well as the horses and cavalry equipment sent to the brigade headquarters, were not idle. After understanding the situation, they knew that the Yamazaki Brigade was already a wounded and exhausted soldier. The brigade commander decisively ordered the cavalry battalion of the brigade headquarters and the cavalry company of Li Yunlong's troops to be sent out with some light machine guns and grenades, and quickly rushed to surround and kill Yamazaki Brigade.
