The next moment the gun rang out, the little Japs started shouting in confusion. Before Lieutenant Ishitaro could give instructions, four bazookas had already been fired at both ends of the road.
"Boom boom boom!"
There were four explosions in succession, smoke and dust filled the air, and the rock wall sputtered and collapsed.
"Crack...crack..."
Large and small rock fragments slanted down and fell at the entrance and exit. They piled up into piles of rocks more than two meters high and nearly three meters high, blocking the road.
Lieutenant Ishitaro, who was almost thrown off his horse, adjusted the brim of his hat and shouted anxiously, "Enemy attack!"
"Quickly move the stones away and open the road, Ha Ya Ku!"
Obviously, Lieutenant Ishitaro also understood that the other party must have a plot to block him in this small space. If he couldn't rush out as soon as possible, he would have to be beaten passively!
Unfortunately, there was no time left for the little devils to move the rocks. Wang Chengzhu's artillery platoon on the top of the rock walls on both sides had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the Japs already blocked below, Wang Chengzhu was the first to throw down the grenade, "Start throwing grenades!"
The artillery platoon soldiers on the top of the rock walls on both sides were lined up, one person every three meters. With a gentle throw, the grenade swirled down to the bottom.
This round of grenades fell, basically covering the entire road space.
On the road, a grenade hit the little devil's helmet and landed at his feet.
After coming back to his senses, he came to the little devil, looked down at the grenade with white smoke at his feet, and said with astonishment, "Hand..."
"boom!"
The grenade exploded instantly, drowning the little devil's figure.
Shitaro looked back and saw grenades falling from the sky. At the last moment of his life, he could not help but murmur to himself with a pale face, "Kasan, I..."
The next second, the grenade landed under his horse and exploded.
Explosions and screams came one after another. The little devil lost the opportunity and was unable to fight back after being bombed.
The little Japs who escaped by relying on the people around them, and the Japs hiding under the grain trucks, had no choice but to rush out if they wanted to survive.
As soon as the few little Japs climbed onto the pile of rocks, they were beaten into pieces by the machine guns guarding outside.
The situation was like this at both ends. In desperation, the remaining little Japs became ruthless and blindly fired grenades outside through the pile of rocks regardless of the situation.
Facing the bombardment of grenades, the little devils howled and charged, climbed to the top of the pile of rocks, and jumped out without fear of casualties.
However, in the dense rain of bullets from the 1st and 2nd companies, only a few little Japs rolled down and launched a weak counterattack using the corpses as cover.
The blind-firing grenade also posed a certain threat to the soldiers. Zhang Dabiao made a prompt decision and launched a charge, "Machine gun cover, brothers, charge with me!"
Coincidentally, Liu Bo at the other end also led a charge.
However, Li Yunlong was dragged behind by the monk, trying to prevent him from rushing ahead.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he looked at Wei Dayong angrily, "Monk, you are my bodyguard! Hey, if I rebel against you, let me go!"
Wei Dayong refused to let go, "No, battalion commander, we can just charge. It's not safe for you to rush to the front!"
Li Yunlong had nothing to do with the stubborn Wei Dayong. Seeing that the first company had set the machine gun on the pile of rocks, the soldiers had already rushed in.
Li Yunlong struggled and looked at Wei Dayong angrily, "Okay, okay, let me go. I won't go, okay?"
Wei Dayong let go of Li Yunlong's sleeves and laughed innocently, "Hehehehe..."
Li Yunlong raised his foot and kicked Wei Dayong on the butt, "Why are you giggling here? Why don't you hurry up and beat the little devil!"
Wei Dayong was too thick-skinned to feel anything, so he nodded, "Okay, battalion commander, I'm going!"
Picking up his submachine gun, Wei Dayong took three steps and two steps across the pile of rocks, and rushed in with a company of soldiers.
The artillery platoon on the top of the rock wall has stopped throwing grenades. The first company and the second company are attacking from front to back, pushing the stubborn little Japanese into the middle.
The soldiers clung to the rock wall and kept moving forward with submachine guns in hand. They attacked in steps. One squad suppressed fire, and the other squad immediately dived and charged, alternately covering.
"Xiao Wu!"
"Drag him back quickly!"
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was shot and fell to the ground. He still gritted his teeth and fired. His comrades behind him quickly grabbed his shoulders and collar and dragged him back.
The last dozen or so little Japs used grain bags as bunkers and relied on two crooked machine guns to make their final resistance.
The bullet hit the grain bag, and the grain flowed out from the dense holes, with a hint of burnt aroma.
Many food bags were blown apart by grenades, and the browned food was scattered on the ground. The soldiers saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. What good food!
Because they were worried about blowing up the food and ruining it, the soldiers did not use grenades. They wanted to rush over and deal with the little Japs, but they suffered a lot of casualties for a while.
Zhang Dabiao was still decisive, knowing that the soldiers were the most precious, "Don't be afraid of wasting food, Bazooka!"
The last rocket round settled the battle, and the remaining little devils were drowned in the firelight and food.
Li Yunlong came inside and shouted in a loud voice, "Treat the wounded quickly, be careful to replenish your guns, don't let the little devil bite you back!"
Li Yunlong casually picked up Lieutenant Shi Tarang's command knife and came to the middle position. Liu Bo and Zhang Dabiao were leading people to count the grains on the carriages and donkey carts, counting out all the grains that were still edible.
Li Yunlong glanced at it and said, "How is it? How many more can we eat?"
Liu Bo made a rough estimate, "In addition to the burnt ones and the ones mixed with blood, there should be about 30,000 kilograms left that can be eaten."
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, "Haha, not bad!"
"Okay, hurry up and clean the battlefield, bring everything you can and use it, hurry up."
Half an hour later, with the capture, the soldiers of the first and second companies set off on their way home.
When it was just getting dark, Li Yunlong led the team back to Yaojiayu.
After winning battles one after another, and with the abundant food captured, Li Yunlong decided to hold a celebration party tonight. On the one hand, he would make the soldiers happy, and on the other hand, he would take advantage of the strong atmosphere to directly recruit all the prisoners of war into the team.
Knowing that the Eighth Route Army would hold a celebration party after winning the battle, the villagers of Yaojiayu actively participated and even contributed several pigs and more than a dozen sheep from the village.
Of course, Li Yunlong would not eat the meat of his fellow villagers in vain. He happened to seize a lot of property from the little devil this afternoon, so he directly paid him double the price.
Li Yunlong had a serious look on his face and put the money into the village chief's hand without refusal, "Just accept this money. Our Eighth Route Army has discipline and we can't make mistakes!"
As night falls, the vast threshing floor is now brightly illuminated by a huge bonfire, and the chill is gone.
On the sidelines, the women in the cooking class and Yaojiayu were busy, setting up several large pots, taking out cans seized from the prisoner of war camp, killing pigs and sheep, washing rice and making rice.
The soldiers smelled the gradually dissipating aroma of meat and kept swallowing their saliva.
The soldiers and Yaojiayu villagers put tables and benches in place.
The children jumped happily around the threshing floor, full of joy.
