Hao Daguang was a little anxious. He knew that the breakthrough in front of him was only temporary. Once the battle broke out, the surrounding Japanese would immediately come to support him.
Everything went smoothly at first, but during the breakout process, Sanwazi, a soldier of Team 7, died because a Japanese machine gunner was hidden in a tree trunk.
Not only that, the entire team's breakout speed was also delayed by two or three minutes.
Don't underestimate these two or three minutes, it's enough for the Japanese on both sides to circle around and support you.
The sound of clapping was heard, and Zhao Gang received Hao Daguang's signal and said quickly: "The battle on Squad Leader Hao's side is over. Students, follow the team and seize the time to meet up with Squad Leader Hao and the others."
After the two sides merged smoothly, Hao Daguang took the lead in counting the number of students. One, two, three... thirteen people, one or more.
Hao Daguang breathed a sigh of relief and took the time to lead the students to continue to break out.
The students saw seven or eight Japanese soldiers lying not far away, as well as the seriously injured soldiers of Squad 7, as well as the sacrificed soldier Sanwazi.
Everyone felt a little heavy. This was the first time a sacrifice had occurred in the team.
Hao Daguang forced a smile and said, "Sanwazi is good, he fought very bravely just now, but none of us expected that there was a Japanese machine gunner hidden in the canopy, and Sanwazi accidentally got hit."
"Students, the battle is urgent now, and I won't be polite to you anymore. Those who don't have guns can do me a favor and carry Sanwazi's body and the seriously injured soldiers on their backs. We will evacuate them immediately."
"good!"
The seven or eight classmates who didn't have guns, all male classmates, quickly came to help.
The soldiers of the seventh squadron quickly swept the battlefield, seized the guns and ammunition from the dead Japanese, and then continued to break out under the leadership of Hao Daguang.
A group of more than 20 people had just rushed out of the area where they had just fought. Violent explosions came from the area where they had just fought, and the Japanese grenade bombarded that area.
In the previous battle between the two sides, the Japs were afraid of accidental damage and did not use grenade launchers for bombardment. It was not until the battle was over that the Japs no longer heard the sound of their own firearms, and then they bombarded the combat area.
Looking at the combat area that was almost flooded by artillery fire, Squad Leader Hao felt lingering fear.
Fortunately, he evacuated quickly enough, and he wouldn't be able to handle any of these students!
After walking another hundred or ten meters, the group arrived under the big tree where the Japanese machine gunner had been hidden.
Some students stretched their heads from the bottom of the tree to look at the tree crown, and then almost screamed in fear, "Japanese devils, devils!"
The soldiers quickly raised their guns, and Squad Leader Hao also looked towards the tree crown and smiled, "Don't panic, it's the corpse of the Japanese. Comrade Xiao Zhao killed it earlier."
The students calmed down and looked at the corpse of the Japanese hanging in the trunk of the tree with some confusion, as well as the machine gun that was also hung in the air by a rope.
"Squad Leader Hao, these little devils are so evil. Why do they hang themselves and their guns on a tree?"
Captain Hao shook his head. This was his first time seeing this.
Zhao Gang had heard about it and explained: "The Japanese army is also good at mountain guerrilla warfare. This is one of their military training subjects. The machine gunners in front of them are Japanese ambush soldiers. In summer, when the mountains and forests are lush, these Japanese ambush soldiers It will hide in the tree crown for a long time, and even eat, drink and poop without leaving the trunk to prevent exposure."
"Afraid of falling asleep due to fatigue and falling from the tree, the devils would tie themselves to the trunk with ropes when they lurked in the canopy for a long time."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
Xiaoliu, a soldier from Team 7, climbed up the tree quickly and seized the hanging machine gun and the ammunition from the Japanese.
After a short delay, Squad Leader Hao continued to lead his team to break out.
But not long after the team set off, Lao Zheng, who was responsible for the investigation at the front, returned with an ugly face and said with a wry smile: "Old Hao, the way down the mountain is blocked by the Japanese again."
The speed of the Japanese's actions was beyond everyone's expectation.
Squad Leader Hao estimated that as soon as the gunshots were fired, the Japs from other directions would probably come over and fall into the Japs' circle again. The situation was even more urgent than before. This time they were exposed in advance!
It turns out that the battle just now exposed more than just the position of Squad Leader Hao and his party.
It further exposed the scarcity of firepower in their team.
Yes, even though the chief of staff had additionally strengthened the firepower configuration of Squad 7, such firepower was still too weak in the eyes of the Japanese.
It's not at all what the Japanese team leader imagined a powerful enemy should look like.
The Japs only heard the sound of light machine gunfire from the Imperial troops' side, and the sound from the enemy's direction seemed to be only from Hanyang, and it was very sparse.
This made the Japanese captain completely relieved. It seemed that the enemy he was besieging was not as powerful as he had imagined.
Then there was nothing to hesitate. The Japanese squad leader ordered the encirclement to be quickly tightened, trapping Captain Hao and his party in a gentle slope area between the mountainside and the foot of the mountain.
On a gentle slope.
Squad leader Hao looked ashen for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the young soldiers and students in front of him, and said: "It seems that we can't escape, we can only die together, classmates, I'm sorry, it's I failed to protect you!"
Wenjie smiled, very boldly. He looked at the Japanese who were gradually approaching him, his eyes filled with hatred.
"It's not a big deal. I fought with the little Japs. I killed one Japs just now, which is enough for me. If I can kill one more now, I will make a profit!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Gang just selected a shooting location and aimed his gun at a few approaching Japanese soldiers carrying grenade launchers.
The Japanese seem to be building a grenade position. From this point of view, Squad Leader Hao may soon be bombarded by Japanese grenade fire.
Squad leader Hao scolded: "Old Zheng, we can't die so cowardly. You will use the Japanese grenade. Even if you die, we have to fire two shots to fight back!"
"good!"
Deputy squad leader Zheng took down the previously captured Japanese Type 89 grenade, plus six Type 91 grenades contained in the captured ammunition bag.
Captain Hao nodded, then turned around and made arrangements:
"Machine guns were not used in the previous breakout to hide the firepower. Now there is no need for it. Our three light machine guns, plus those captured from the Japanese, are all used."
"Comrades, today is a battle of wealth. There is no need to save bullets or anything else. Just fight with all your strength!"
"Yes!" The soldiers of Class Seven responded in unison.
Facing death, the students who had been nervous all the way slowly relaxed.
"Squad Leader Hao, I'm not good with the gun, please send me a grenade!"
One student asked for a grenade, holding it tightly in his hand, waiting for the kid to touch it, and then launch a powerful counterattack.
The student holding the gun was a graduate of the Anti-Japanese University. He had experienced military training and was facing death at this moment. Although it was a bit regretful, he had not really reached the front line yet, so he died on the way.
Somewhat unsatisfactory.
But now that it's over, there's nothing to regret.
"Students, let's have a quick fight with the little devil!"
"A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood! This is not a sad person, but a happy person. For the faith in his heart and for the great revolutionary cause, he has no regrets even if he sacrifices his life!"
At this moment, the soldier and the student, two figures and two identities, were completely intertwined and could no longer be distinguished from each other.
Everyone is determined to face death!
Boom——
Chu tu tu tu——
Until the sound of gunshots mixed with the sound of cannons suddenly rang out from all directions.
The screams of the Japanese followed and came from all directions.
As if a divine weapon descended from the sky, this sudden attack came extremely quickly.
In the sight of the soldiers and students, the Japanese who were approaching them were suddenly attacked from behind. Everyone did not even see the attacker, and the dense bullets beat each of the Japanese into sieves.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, the three grenade launchers on the grenade launcher position just constructed by the Japanese were directly blown into scrap metal.
Deputy squad leader Zheng looked at the guys who jumped out from behind the Japs, all of them seemed to be armed with automatic firepower, and stammered: "Old Hao, are they our reinforcements?"
Squad Leader Hao's eyes were as wide as brass bells, and his head was shaking like a rattle, but at a certain moment, he seemed to see a familiar figure, and pointed hesitantly at the figure charging forward in the distance, "Old man Zheng, do you think that black-faced man looks like Commander Kong?"
Deputy squad leader Zheng looked in the direction pointed by the old squad leader and was shocked, "Old Hao, it's really Captain Kong!"
"Then you're still hesitating, comrades, come on, Commander Kong is here to save us!" Captain Hao, who was surviving the disaster, raised his arms and shouted. After saying that, holding the Czech style of the equipment he came with, he rushed towards The direction of the devil suddenly changed.
The recoil is too great, the bullet is not accurate, and it can't control that much.
What we need now is momentum!
"kill--"
