What he saw in the telescope and his own judgment made the Japanese major mistakenly believe that Tangcheng and the others were just a small force of five or six people. In anger, the Japanese major actually ignored the fact that the opponent had a mortar. Seeing that the soldiers he sent out were shot and fell one after another, the Japanese major became surprisingly angry. Being carried away by anger, he immediately dispatched a group of soldiers to join the battle, and at the same time dispatched two heavy machine guns to provide fire support.
Tang Cheng on the tree branch had already activated the triple eyepiece skill. When the Japanese and puppet troops on the road made any changes, he could see clearly. Discovering that the Japanese troops on the opposite road began to move toward the two wings, and heavy machine guns appeared, Tang Cheng immediately jumped down from the tree branch and called his snipers to retreat. The gunshots at the foot of the mountain weakened in an instant. The Japanese major mistakenly thought that his countermeasures were effective, but he did not know that this was Tang Cheng's deliberate show of weakness.
Without the deadly sharpshooters, the originally suppressed Japanese and puppet soldiers, who were unable to move forward, accelerated their speed and continued to rush forward under the coercion of the officers, and soon appeared in their previous sniper position in Tangcheng. The bullet casings scattered on the ground and the traces left by mortars allowed the Japanese lieutenant who led the team to easily judge that the number of attackers was not very large. This new situation coincides with the Japanese Major's previous judgment, which further strengthens his determination to kill these attackers.
There were about 200 Japanese and puppet troops, following the traces they deliberately left in Tangcheng, and chased into Yangshan. At this time, Captain Zhang had already led his guerrillas and prepared for an ambush two miles away. A normal 2-mile walk on a mountain road would not be too tiring, but if you walk directly through the forest and climb over the mountains, even though it is only 2 miles, it is still very tiring. Seeing that they were about to catch up with the Tubalu in front, the Japanese and puppet soldiers, who were already tired and panting, gritted their teeth and continued to pursue.
Tangcheng and the others, who had been more than a hundred meters in front of the Japanese and puppet troops, were naturally pretending. If they had followed their normal speed, they might have gotten rid of the Japanese and puppet troops that were chasing after them. After rushing out of the forest, Tang Cheng's three snipers immediately accelerated and ran towards the open space in front of them, while Tang Cheng turned around and moved towards his left side. When the Japanese and puppet troops in hot pursuit chased them out of the forest, they only saw a few figures disappearing on the high slope in front, which were vaguely the figures they were chasing.
Sheep Mountain has many slopes, and the Japanese and puppet troops who have been chasing them have already chased through several such high slopes in the previous pursuit. Therefore, after they saw those few figures quickly disappearing at the top of the slope, instead of having any doubts, under the repeated urging of the officers, they rushed out of the forest like a swarm and caught up to the high slope in front of them. These Japanese and puppet soldiers thought that the few Tubalu in front were already being chased by them and could not care about anything else, but they did not know that the danger was right in front of them.
Compared with the puppet troops who were first-rate in survival skills, the Japanese soldiers still retained a little vigilance. When they rushed out of the forest, they slowed down in a tacit understanding, intending to let the puppet troops around them rush to the front. But they all underestimated the ability of the puppet soldiers to save their lives. They found that the Japanese soldiers had slowed down, and the puppet soldiers also slowed down. The Japanese and puppet troops, who had their own ideas, moved slower and slower despite the officers' shouts and threats, and almost ended up here for an outing.
But Captain Zhang and the others, who had been lying in wait here for a long time, did not intend to give these Japanese and puppet troops a chance to have an outing here. On the top of the originally deserted slope, a row of gun muzzles instantly appeared. "Fire!" Captain Zhang shouted and fired the first shot. After following Tangcheng and the others, they successively attacked the Japanese and puppet troops. The guerrillas, who originally only had a few old rifles, are now all equipped with Japanese-style 38 rifles, and they have enough bullets. The volleys of more than thirty guerrillas directly knocked down more than twenty Japanese and puppet troops down the slope, most of whom were Japanese soldiers.
With such a shooting result, if Tang Cheng was here to command these guerrillas, he might yell at these guerrillas for their poor marksmanship. But Captain Zhang was very satisfied with the result. After all, the guerrillas who participated in this operation had only conducted live-fire training for a few days. The sudden volley of gunfire gave the Japanese and puppet troops down the slope no time to react. When the guerrillas fired the second shot, the Japanese and puppet troops down the slope came to their senses.
There was no hiding place in the plains and slopes. The only thing they could do was to lie down on the spot and then launch a counterattack. But the guerrillas, after firing twice in a row, chose to retreat instead of continuing to struggle with these Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet troops, howling in anger, rushed to the top of the slope regardless, only to see that the thirty or so guerrillas who had ambushed them had already run away. Relying on the terrain that was favorable to them, the guerrillas did not disperse, allowing the Japanese and puppet troops who rushed to the top of the slope to see the possibility of encircling and suppressing the opponent.
But they didn't know that Tangcheng's arrangements were in waves. Just as other Japanese and puppet troops rushed to the top of the slope, green smoke suddenly appeared under their feet, and then an explosion occurred. The explosives used in the explosion were not the remaining explosives in Tangcheng, but the black gunpowder made by Captain Zhang and his colleagues. Although the black gunpowder was not lethal enough, as long as the amount was large, it could still cause certain damage to the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the slope. s damage. After the explosion, more than a dozen Japanese and puppet soldiers fell to the ground screaming, with blood stains on many parts of their bodies.
The injured people had no way to continue chasing the enemy. The Japanese officer leading the team could only arrange for his men to send the injured people back to the road. Not only were the top of the slope and the road more than two miles apart, but there were also many slopes and woods in between. Tangcheng, which had not withdrawn from the woods, was already waiting for the Japanese and puppet troops to transport the wounded. According to Tang Cheng's previous instructions, Captain Zhang and the others, with the pursuers behind them, kept circling in this area. When the Japanese officer leading the team came back to his senses, he suddenly discovered that the Japanese and puppet troops around him were no longer enough. Hundreds of people.
When they left the road and crossed the open land and rushed into Yangshan Mountain, he was followed by more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops. But now, more than half of the Japanese and puppet troops were either injured or lost their lives in the mountain. The Japanese officers leading the team suddenly became panicked and carefully observed the surrounding terrain. They seemed to have been here twice. Seeing that the attackers were just leading them in circles, the Japanese officer leading the group was already planning to withdraw to the road. Unfortunately, Captain Zhang, who had been leading them in circles, did not want to let these Japanese and puppet troops off easily.
The long-term pursuit station in the mountains not only consumed a lot of physical energy for the Japanese and puppet troops, but Captain Zhang and the others were also very tired. Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops chasing behind him stopped, the panting captain Zhang strongly encouraged his guerrillas, "Everyone, please hold on, the little devils and puppet troops have been chasing us for such a long time. We are tired, and they are even more tired. Moreover, there were so many of them before, but now there are only about a hundred left. What does this mean? This means that we have killed many little devils and puppet soldiers."
"We have fewer people and they have more people. This is their advantage, but it is also our opportunity. What we are fighting with them now is endurance. Whoever fails to hold on first will lose the biggest advantage." Under Captain Zhang's encouragement Under this, these guerrillas, who had consumed too much physical strength, felt that their physical strength was gradually recovering. In the past, the Japanese and puppet troops were chasing them around in the mountains, but now, they became the chasing party. With sporadic gunshots ringing out from time to time, the guerrillas began to reap the fruits of their victory.
In Tangcheng, which was still in the woods, at this time, the first batch of puppet troops who transported the wounded back to the road were also dispatched. Hearing the vague sound of gunfire from ahead, Tang Cheng smiled slightly and then climbed up a big tree. Standing on the branch of the tree, Tang Cheng was commanding, and every Japanese and puppet soldier running down the hillside in front would become a target for him to shoot. The sound of gunfire in the distance made the Japanese major on the road feel upset. He had sent so many people to chase them into the mountains, but there was still no result. Just when he was still hesitating, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove up on the road behind him, and the large force that had been following them caught up.
The commander of this mixed force of more than 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops was a senior officer named Kurokawa. He already knew that the rear puppet troops were ambushed in Huaishu Township, but he did not expect that the leading troops were attacked by Xiao Li. Zhuang's side was also attacked. After learning the news, he immediately ordered to speed up, but he never expected that the officer commanding the front team would also make such a low-level mistake. "Order the Kuroteng Squadron and the 2nd Company of the Imperial Association Army to go into the mountains to cooperate in the battle." Kurokawa, who had a preliminary understanding of the situation, chose to increase his troops rather than continue to wait and see.
According to Kurokawa's order, more than 60 Japanese troops and more than 100 puppet troops crossed the open space in front of the highway and moved towards Yangshan. Tang Cheng, who was alone in the forest on the slope, was shooting continuously at this time, killing the Japanese and puppet soldiers running down the hillside one after another. The Japanese and puppet troops, who were attacked from both sides, quickly thought of a way to break the situation. They no longer moved directly towards the forest, but began to spread out, trying to bypass Tangcheng's position from both sides.
The Japanese and puppet troops on the hillside began to disperse and flee to the two wings. Tang Cheng in the forest was not surprised by this. However, his shooting continued. As long as the Japanese and puppet soldiers were within his shooting range, he would still be his target. After a short while, Captain Zhang finally appeared in Tang Cheng's field of vision. Captain Zhang, who led the guerrillas and pressed up from behind, seemed particularly excited at the moment, because they had killed many Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
