"Put away the infantry artillery, and the artillery platoon retreated one hundred meters to find a suitable place to set up two grenade launchers. After the soldiers in each row returned, they immediately fired six artillery shells within a range of three hundred meters ahead. The impact point was The road is the center and cannot extend more than thirty meters. After completion, immediately evacuate with the large troops." Wen San gave the artillery platoon another new task.
This is to block the pursuit, at least to make it more difficult for the pursuing Japanese soldiers, and not to let them chase too close.
Guan Heizi and Ma Yinchu became excited again when they heard this order. I thought their mission would be over with a few shots.
Although the difficulty of shelling is increased at night, this place is only so big. They also knew the direction of the road ahead. Not to mention accurately hitting the Japanese, at least the impact point would not deviate too far.
Just as the artillery platoon retreated to execute Wen San's order, two artillery shells fell towards the previous artillery firing position at the same time, no more than five meters away from the previous artillery position. Fortunately, Wen San had already evacuated people early, otherwise there would definitely be casualties. The Japanese cannonballs blasted the air.
At this time, a flare was launched into the air, improving the surrounding visibility a lot. Obviously, the Japanese are not stupid and want to find out the deployment of troops in this position.
It's just that Lao Wan and the others are lying on the ground, and they are far apart. One or two flares really won't have much effect.
The Japanese bombardment continued and began to extend in all directions. Regardless of whether it could hit people or not, it just looked very bluffing.
Over at the Japanese camp, two squadrons of troops were quickly mobilized. Major Tengyuan did not go out to fight in person. He was worried that there was a deceit here and that he would make a false move for them. After he mobilized all his troops, he secretly ran out of the encirclement.
In this dark night, the Japanese had to guard against this attack. The enemy only fired four rounds and then stopped the bombardment. It is possible that they had ulterior motives.
It has to be said that Teng Yuan has a lot of evil thoughts in his mind and considers the problem quite comprehensively. Two squadrons rushed to pursue them, and they already had a lot of troops.
Until now, the enemy is still in their encirclement and can adopt a more secure combat method. After dawn tomorrow, he can take advantage of his superior strength and fight steadily to kill this force easily.
The Japs from the two squadrons were not chasing very fast because it was dark and they were not very familiar with this path. From time to time, you have to use a flashlight to scan around to observe possible enemies. In this way, the progress of their own team was also exposed to the eyes of Wen San and others.
After about seven or eight minutes, the Japanese team gradually entered the shooting range of Lao Wan and others. However, they were not in a hurry to shoot, and were ready to shoot closer.
After another two minutes, gunshots suddenly rang out in the dark night, and a large number of bullets flew up in the dark night, pounced on the Japanese who were chasing after them.
The first wave of attacks is always the most rewarding. Although many people shoot blindly based on their feelings, more than a dozen Japanese were knocked to the ground. More Japanese soldiers chose to lie down immediately and then began to fight back blindly.
However, Wen San had four platoons of troops with a lot of firepower. In the case of seizing the upper hand, the firepower output will be carried out regardless of the situation. The Japanese chasing team was already very dense. The Japanese lying down in front escaped unhurt, but many Japanese behind were still shot.
"Damn it, there are so many people in the Chinese army ambushing in front. The firepower is too fierce. Retreat immediately and call for artillery support." The Japanese squadron leader was not stupid. They lost the opportunity to attack and just rushed forward. , that is an act of committing suicide.
After receiving the order from the squadron leader, the little devil immediately began to retreat. The Japanese at the back of the team ran even faster for fear of being hit by the dense bullets.
"The Japs are feeling guilty, come on!" The platoon leader at the front immediately noticed the Japs' movements.
Originally, according to Wen San's order, after harvesting a wave, they had to evacuate immediately. But the Japanese turned around and ran away. How could they miss such a good opportunity? It's always easiest to hit an enemy from behind.
A row of soldiers stood up from the ground without hesitation, and several light machine gunners raised their guns and fired wildly.
Seeing this, the second and third rows also pressed forward. The powerful firepower of the three platoons immediately made the Japanese howl like ghosts and retreat desperately.
Three platoons of soldiers chased him for nearly two hundred meters before stopping. This wave of attacks caused at least dozens of Japanese casualties. Anyway, there were quite a few Japanese dead on the road, and I didn’t count them carefully.
"Retreat quickly, it's time to go." This time Tintin Mao'er didn't hold back anymore, the Japanese retreated, and they also retreated together.
A few minutes later, the troops had retreated and joined Wen San.
"What's going on? The guy rushed up again?" Wen San asked immediately when he saw Tintin and Mao'er.
"The Japs couldn't withstand our firepower and fled over a large area. Naturally, they had to rush forward to harvest a wave. Didn't you tell us that the battlefield is changing rapidly and we need to use tactics flexibly?" Tintin Mao'er said a little harshly, but his voice still sounded a little bit harsh. Guilty.
"Yes! It's acceptable to charge in this situation." Wen San is not a person who can't adapt. Only dogmatism can kill people. Tintin and cats can think, which is a good thing.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, company commander! I guess the Japanese may not dare to catch up." Tintin Mao'er's nervous heart relaxed, and he was about to get angry again.
"We have exposed our main force, and the Japs will probably follow. There may be more Japs coming this time." Wen San thought for a moment and said.
If it was just a small force, the Japanese might not really chase them. But the firepower just now was so fierce, it had already explained everything, and it was impossible for the Japanese to hold back.
Just as Wen San guessed, after the Japanese squadron leader reported the situation here, he was immediately scolded by Major Tengyuan. And immediately ordered them to stick up.
What kind of artillery support is needed? It's not like the Japanese can't afford a small number of casualties. In this dark night, once the enemy and we break away from the battle, they are likely to disappear into the wilderness.
Major Tenghara ordered the two squadron captains to hold back the enemy's main force at all costs. At the same time, he also mobilized his own troops, including several troops stationed at other intersections, in an effort to form an encirclement.
All the enemy's troops are here. If he doesn't do anything anymore, he really doesn't need to be the captain anymore.
Even if Wen San couldn't hear the Japs' orders from Teng Yuan, he could still make a guess when the Japs made such a big move. What's more, he clearly heard the Japanese's arrangements.
"All retreat!" Wen San led the team further back to the artillery platoon, and quickly stopped Guan Heizi and others who were about to fire.
"We fired again in two minutes. The Japanese were driven away by their countercharge and they haven't caught up yet."
"It seems that the brothers are very powerful. Facing a large group of Japanese soldiers, they can still take the initiative and launch a counter-charge. They are really awesome!" Guan Heizi gave Ding Ding Mao'er and the others a thumbs up.
