The reason why Squad Leader Hao was able to take on the task of escorting the students this time was because of his military qualities.
Based on the intelligence brought back by Xiaoliu, Erniu, and Lao Zheng, Squad Leader Hao quickly determined that the weak point of the Japanese encirclement was located in the direction of the connection point between the Japanese on the left and the Japanese encirclement in front.
That is, northwest.
This is easy to understand. The Japanese formed an encirclement from all sides, and the blockade forces on all sides gradually weakened from the middle to both sides.
Therefore, the angle between the two military lines is the weakest point, which happens to be in the direction of the base area.
After making up his mind, Squad Leader Hao did not hesitate and took the lead, leading the entire team to break through covertly from the northwest.
At this time, the Japanese squad, because they did not know the strength of Squad Leader Hao and his party, even regarded Squad Leader Hao and his team as opponents who had attacked the prisoner of war camp and the mine, so they did not dare to go deep in hastily. The encirclement was closed very slowly, which also gave Squad Leader Hao a The time and opportunity for a group to break out from the northwest.
Following a gentle slope heading northwest, it wasn't long before the team saw the Japanese approaching. The two sides were about 500 meters apart.
If Zhao Gang and his party were not located on the mountainside and covered by mountains and forests, they would not be able to see these Japanese soldiers.
Squad Leader Hao put down the binoculars lent to him by the platoon leader and waved his hand to signal the team to hide. Zhao Gang, Wenjie, Lao Zheng and the soldiers of Squad 7 came closer at the signal of Squad Leader Hao.
Squad leader Hao said in a low voice: "Let me tell you the situation. The eight Japs are relatively scattered. The Japs have a machine gun and a grenade launcher. Nothing else has been found yet. These two points must be dealt with immediately. Knock it off."
"I have marked the specific location points with everyone on the land. The machine gunner is on the far left and the grenade launcher is at this point in the middle. Everyone should keep it in mind."
Having said this, Squad Leader Hao looked at Zhao Gang and Wenjie, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, Comrade Wenjie, I know that you two comrades are very good at marksmanship."
"When we break out later, I will lead the team to get closer in advance, and you two will be responsible for providing fire support from the rear using your marksmanship."
"After the battle below is over, I will clap my hands as a signal, and you will quickly follow."
"Yes!" Zhao Gang and Wenjie responded.
"Let's go! Students stay behind for the time being." Squad Leader Hao gave the order.
There were not many guns in the hands of other students. In addition to the two rifles in the hands of Zhao Gang and Wenjie, there were also three guns. When Squad Leader Hao led people to approach the Japanese in advance, Zhao Gang ordered the three students to serve as students. The team's left, right and rear defenses.
Then, Zhao Gang and Wenjie had a tacit understanding of each other. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, slowly followed Captain Hao and his party while taking advantage of the cover of the woods on both sides, and kept an eye on the situation of the Japanese on the lower ground at all times.
Squad Leader Hao came in after about two or three minutes.
The Japanese, Squad Leader Hao and his party were already less than 200 meters away.
The biggest advantage of Hao Daguang and his party at this moment is that the Japanese have not discovered them yet, and the two sides are getting closer and closer. Hao Daguang knows that if they get closer like this, they will inevitably be discovered by the Japanese, and once they are exposed first, this battle will not be easy to fight.
Thinking of this, Hao Daguang pressed his hand and signaled the soldiers in the squad to take cover immediately.
The soldiers in the class had learned some simple command gestures from Hao Daguang. They immediately understood Hao Daguang's orders and lurked in place with the help of trees, grass and fallen leaves.
The soldiers understood what squad leader Hao Daguang meant.
This is to wait and wait for the little devil to come to your door. Active concealment can avoid exposure and shorten the distance between you and the little devil.
Time passed quietly in the somewhat nervous waiting, and the seven Japanese soldiers wandered up, getting closer and closer to the hidden Hao Daguang and his party.
One hundred meters.
Eighty meters.
Sixty meters.
…
Getting closer and closer, the soldiers of Group 7 who did not dare to show their heads even heard the footsteps of the Japanese.
Originally everything was going smoothly, but when the distance between the two sides shortened to less than thirty meters, Hao Daguang would lead his team to launch a sudden attack, quickly kill the seven Japs, and then lead the student team to break out.
But no one could have imagined that at this moment, Hao Daguang noticed a Japanese soldier forty or fifty meters away through the gap in the trees. He suddenly screamed strangely and pointed in the direction of the mountainside with his finger.
broken!
Hao Daguang's heart skipped a beat as the students hid on the mountainside.
This little devil has discovered the student.
Not far from the screaming Japs, the Japs carrying a grenade seemed to have their eyes gleaming. He quickly took off the grenade and put it on the ground.
Hao Daguang was anxious. If the Japs shot up, the students would definitely be injured.
At this moment, even if it was not the best time to take action, there was nothing he could do. Hao Daguang, who no longer dared to hesitate, shouted, "Hit!"
The lingering sound was still echoing in the valley. Hao Daguang stood up with his gun, aimed and fired in one go. A gunshot broke the dead silence of the mountain and at the same time, he shot the Japanese who was playing with the grenade in the chest.
The Japanese soldier fell down with a sound, and the grenade was unsupported. It hit the exposed gravel outside the soil with a clang, and seemed to have rolled down half a meter.
The battle broke out instantly.
Although the soldiers of Squad 7 didn't know why the squad leader ordered the attack in advance, they still chose to open fire immediately out of trust in the squad leader.
The Japs grenadier soldier had been killed. While Hao Daguang was firing, deputy squad leader Zheng locked his target - the little Japs holding a crooked light machine gun.
With a bang of gunfire, the Japanese machine gunner fell down, and the machine gun in his hand also fell to the ground.
Lao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. The grenade launchers and light machine guns were all shot down. With the six little Japs left in front of him, things should be much easier to deal with.
The soldiers were about to charge down, when suddenly machine gun fire came from a distant tree crown. Two soldiers in the seventh squad were caught off guard. One was shot and killed on the spot, and the other was wounded.
"Sanwazi!"
Looking at the young soldier who fell to the ground, the old squad leader Hao Daguang's eyes were filled with tears.
"Hidden, hidden!" Hao Daguang roared. No one could have imagined that this cunning little devil also hid a machine gunner in the canopy in the distance.
Team 7 was suppressed by firepower for a moment.
Before the remaining Japs could be eliminated in time, a young Japs picked up the crooked light machine gun that had been knocked to the ground and started firing at Squad 7.
The firepower of two light machine guns was blocked, and the soldiers of Group 7 were suppressed and unable to move for a while.
At this critical moment, two gunshots rang out from behind the soldiers of Group 7. One was fired by Zhao Gang. After the gunshot, the Japanese on the tree crown fell down.
Strangely, the ghost's body did not fall from the tree.
But the light machine gun fire in the canopy stopped abruptly.
The other shot was fired by Wenjie. After the gunshot, the firepower of another light machine gun set up by the Japanese on a small gentle slope was directly knocked out.
Without the suppression of light machine gun fire, Hao Daguang, who was under great pressure, pulled out two grenades from his body, tore off the fuses, and threw them towards the Japanese at the foot of the mountain.
"Grenade!"
Several other soldiers also followed suit, especially the place where the grenade fell previously, so focus on taking care of it.
Amidst the explosion, gunpowder smoke dispersed, Hao Daguang roared, and the soldiers of the seventh squad immediately launched a charge.
After a burst of gunfire, the remaining Japs were all wiped out.
Hao Daguang clapped his hands vigorously and shouted: "Quick, cover the students to break out!"
