"Silence, the Japs are coming again, much faster than before." Wen San looked at the flashlight swaying in the distance and immediately interrupted the chatting of Guan Heizi and others.
"One minute countdown, prepare to fire." Wen San took out his pocket watch and started counting.
According to the marching speed of the Japanese at this time, many people should have walked into the bombardment range of the grenade in one minute.
The artillery platoon had already been prepared, and everyone became serious. Wen San looked at the rotating second hand, but in his mind he was thinking about how to win this night battle.
Although the Japs have a huge military advantage, they may not be able to exert it in the dark. Another biggest advantage on their side is that they have Zhao Wenzheng as a local guide, which will give them a lot of advantages.
"3, 2, 1, fire!"
As Wen San's order was issued, the two grenade launchers spewed out smoke, and the shells fell forward at an extremely fast speed.
The Japanese who were pursuing them with all their strength did not expect that there would be artillery fire here. According to normal thinking, they should retreat in time. But it happened to fire again.
It's a pity that the two shells missed this time, and not a single Japanese was taken away. The flying shrapnel actually injured several ghosts, varying in severity.
"The damn China Army unexpectedly attacked us again. Everyone, speed up. After catching up, their artillery shells will be useless." Japanese squadron leader Takada Hidetoshi cursed while urging the little Japanese to speed up their march.
Major Teng Yuan had given him a death order and he had to catch up as quickly as possible. If he slowed down in order to hide from the artillery, he would have to be punished by Teng Yuan again.
No matter how much Takada Hidetoshi urged, the Japanese team could not be that fast. Moreover, the two squadrons had a lot of troops. How could they pass through Guan Heizi's bombardment area in a very short time?
They could only try not to walk in the middle, and people would run through the grass on both sides. As a result, it happened to hit Guan Heizi's deflection angle, and a cannonball landed right next to a few Japs, successfully taking away a few demons.
After several consecutive rounds of artillery shells hit them, the artillery platoon began to evacuate quickly according to Wen San's order. At this time, the team in front was also led by Zhao Wenzheng and retreated into the distance.
By the time the Japanese squadron arrived, Wen's third company had disappeared.
"Speed up and chase along this road. They can't see the road and can't run very fast." Takada ordered urgently. His team was out of touch. There were dozens of people at the front, and there were about a hundred people in the middle who had become disjointed after being bombarded by artillery. More Japanese soldiers were still two hundred meters away and could not catch up in time.
After Wen San ran for a few miles, he found a natural ditch on the side of the road, which was only more than one meter high.
"The heavy machine gun platoon and the first platoon are hiding in the ditch. The second and third platoons are scattered to both sides of the road. Let's attack the Japanese ambush again." Wen San once again took advantage of the advantageous terrain and fought on the spot.
When the soldiers heard that they were going to fight again, they became extremely excited.
Tonight they were like herding cows, leading the devils by the nose, and hitting them when they wanted. By retreating immediately after the fight, the Japanese's strength advantage would not be reflected at all.
About four or five minutes later, dozens of Japanese soldiers came over in a panic. Under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Takada, they ran much faster than other Japanese soldiers.
But chasing me all the way down, I always feel like I've lost track of someone. There are black crows everywhere, and I don't know where the enemy troops have gone.
But just as they were moving forward quickly, there was light and heavy fire coming from the front. This time, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and kept wailing.
Takada was beaten so hard that he kept urging his soldiers to fight back. But a guy like him couldn't even lift his head under the pressure of light and heavy machine guns.
What made Takada Hidetoshi even more desperate was that they had not yet made an effective counterattack, and powerful firepower came from both sides.
Just when Takada wanted to tell the Japanese around him to lie down, he was shot twice and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
This wave of ambush ended very quickly. The Japs at the front were only thirty or forty men, and they didn't even have heavy firepower. He was easily killed by Wen San and others at almost no cost.
"Clear the battlefield quickly, let's go!" Wen San saw that the Japanese behind him were still some distance away, so he decided to get some trophies. A lot of bullets were consumed tonight, so he must not let them go when they can be replenished.
The soldiers moved very quickly, took their guns and bullets and ran away. When the Japanese troops caught up, they saw only corpses on the ground.
"Damn! This Chinese army is so cunning! This is the third time they have attacked us. Even Captain Takada is loyal." Another squadron leader chased after him and saw the corpse on the ground. When he saw the corpse on the ground, he became angry. I was also a little timid.
If he keeps chasing like this, will he be the next one to be attacked?
Shiro Taniguchi decided to slow down his pursuit and wait for the troops behind to catch up. It would not be too late to pursue him again. The enemies they face are too smart and very difficult to deal with.
When Major Tenghara came up with a large force, he noticed Shiro Taniguchi's slowness, so he rushed up and slapped him twice. His brigade has already suffered heavy losses, but now it can't even catch the enemy's tail, and now it has lost track of them.
Thinking about this makes me angry, and I can't get angry at all.
Chasing but not being able to catch up, not being willing to chase, Teng Yuan's devil felt bad all over. Several people around him were scratched by him.
"Your Excellency Tengyuan, in this situation, it is no longer appropriate for us to pursue them. Maybe they will ambush us in front, and we really can't afford the loss. I think we should wait until daytime to deal with them. They are still with us anyway. In the encirclement. By daylight, all the intrigues and tricks of the China Army will be useless." A captain staff officer came up to admonish Teng Yuan.
In such a battle, many Japanese soldiers feel chilled. They fight back and forth, and they are the ones who suffer. If they continue to follow, isn't this looking for trouble?
"The other squadrons have already taken action. Even if we don't catch up, we should stay where we are, try to compress the Chinese army's activity space, and don't give them any chance to escape." Major Tengyuan showed his last stubbornness.
It is impossible to retreat. Even if we don't pursue, we will still be stuck here.
"It's feasible. It's not too late to make plans after confirming their whereabouts." Guizi Shen agreed with Major Tengyuan's opinion.
However, their conversation was still within Wen San's hearing range. Wouldn't it be boring if they stopped chasing the Japanese? On such a wonderful night, entertainment programs must be arranged for them!
"Stop advancing, let's go back and sneak attack the Japanese." Wen San called the team back again.
The platoon leaders had wonderful expressions on their faces, and they had no idea what tactics Wen San was using. Sometimes they would retreat, sometimes they would ambush, and sometimes they would go back and sneak up on the Japanese.
But his tactics all achieved good results, and the Japanese were so painful that they seemed helpless.
Wen San, who returned, beat Teng Yuan's Japs into a rage again. Just as he made a counterattack, Wen San's team retreated again, refusing to fight to the death with the Japs.
The Japanese were so angry that they chased him all the way. Before they could get very far, they were ambushed again.
