So, how did Gao Xiaoshan think of using Morse code to inform Zhou Wen?
It turned out that after Gao Xiaoshan decided to follow the Japanese's retreat and cause trouble, he first marked the backpacks of several people in an easily identifiable place and hid them. Then everyone went into battle lightly carrying only weapons and stayed with the Japanese. Followed up with traces.
Gao Xiaoshan and the others had been chased by this group of devils for more than ten kilometers on the mountain road before. Not only did Lei Daidai and Xiao Shui's physical strength reach the limit, but the devil's physical strength also began to have problems, so they walked back at a faster speed. Just slowed down.
You know, mountain chasing is a physical job.
When chasing, people are more likely to be excited, have an excited mental support, and can persist even if they experience physical discomfort.
But it was different when the pursuit was fruitless and they retreated. Not only did they run so far in vain and perform useless work, but also when they thought about having to walk back 10 kilometers to join the main force, their psychology inevitably changed.
After letting out a sigh of relief, I felt my back hurt and my steps became a little heavier.
Despite the fact that the Little Devils are now known as the strongest army in Asia, their daily training is quite rigorous, so there shouldn't be any physical problems.
But the actual situation is that every Japanese soldier has a heavy burden in combat.
The Japanese army's load is also divided into marching load and combat load. In addition to weapons and ammunition, the marching load also has a full canvas rucksack. Various individual equipment, such as military blankets, portable tents, raincoats, lunch boxes, and infantry shovels, etc. all use rucksacks. The canvas straps above are tied and fixed.
All calculated in this way, the weight of an individual Japanese soldier reached more than 20 kilograms.
If there is a combat mission, the Japanese army will generally put the backpack on the Chinese army and only carry the equipment needed for combat to the battlefield. However, the combat load of these ammunition and equipment is also more than 10 kilograms, and the burden on the machine gunners and gunners is even heavier.
Now, the 1st Battalion of the Japanese 24th Regiment did not have any Chinese troops to keep their backpacks for them. They were already more than 10 kilometers away from the main force of the Regiment, so they had to carry all their luggage to pursue them.
Calculated in this way, these Japanese soldiers marched for more than ten kilometers with a load of more than 20 kilograms on their backs. They climbed countless mountains. Not to mention people, even a mule felt tired.
The key issue is that they now have to go back the same way. How many mountains have they climbed before, and now they have to walk back without missing a step? It's frustrating to think about it.
Although the Japanese captain still arranged a squadron to serve as a guard in the rear in accordance with wartime regulations, due to low morale and physical exhaustion, the Japanese on guard inevitably became mentally lax.
Moreover, in their opinion, how could the small Chinese troops who had been chased all day long and could only flee for their lives have the courage to stroke the imperial army's beards.
What's more, I'm chasing everyone so much that my tongue almost comes out, and you who are being chased are all exhausted and turned into dogs. I'm afraid you are hiding in some nook and corner to burn incense?
So when the brave Gao Xiaoshan, who was an expert in art, led his men to approach the Japanese rear team, they were not noticed by the Japanese.
This is a God-given opportunity.
Gao Xiaoshan waved his hand, and Xiao Shui and Xiao Qi were scattered on his left. Lei Dahai and Huang Dayou were on his right. The five of them were lined up in a row, with only a few meters apart. They held their guns and pointed at the looming black figure in front of them. fire.
Don't underestimate Gao Xiaoshan, they only have 5 people, but the burst output capability of two Suomi submachine guns, a G-13 machine gun and two semi-automatic rifles in an instant is unexpectedly fierce.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Da da da……"
The firepower of the five guns covers a width of nearly 100 meters. The Japanese army within this width requires that there be no trees blocking you within the straight line distance of the bullets, so the chance of being bitten by the bullets is almost 100%.
Gao Xiaoshan and the others didn't have any idea of accurate shooting at this time. They all relied on experience to pour out the bullets in the gun as quickly as possible while keeping the muzzle steady. Even Huang Dayou rarely used it. Continuous long bursts of shots.
Under this dim sight, the game was to shoot the old master to death randomly and beat him up, without giving the other party time to react or fight back.
After all, Lei Dahai's training time was a little short, and he was itchy after not killing Japanese for a long time, so he held the trigger of the Suomi submachine gun and refused to let go.
With the Somi submachine gun's rate of fire of up to 900 rounds per minute, a magazine can be used up in less than 10 seconds.
But it wasn't over yet. He quickly pulled out the 20-shot shell gun from his waist. With a flip of his wrist, he fired another 20 rounds of bullets in an instant. Then he turned around and ran away at Gao Xiaoshan's signal.
Lei Dahai was finally satisfied.
This happy way of pouring bullets was the first time in his military career that a big girl got on the sedan chair. Even in training, he didn't dare to do this.
Not to mention, although Lei Dahai's marksmanship is not very good, his luck is surprisingly good.
The last time he was a volunteer, when he met the Japanese on a narrow road by the railway in Shoantan Village, he casually fired 10 bullets into the darkness with a shell gun, killing and wounding seven or eight people, including the Japanese machine gunner.
But this time, he fired at the Japs in the dark and killed a dozen Japs on the spot.
In terms of effectiveness, he was actually the best among the five, surpassing Gao Xiaoshan and Huang Dayou whose marksmanship was much better than his.
What's even more bizarre is that when he fired continuously with the Somi submachine gun, he couldn't control the muzzle of the gun, causing most of the bullets to shoot high. However, the bullets that were fired at high altitudes began to fall after their kinetic energy was exhausted. The impact point of these bullets happened to be right in the front line of the Japs. Most of the bullets landed on tree trunks or the ground, but there were a few Part of it fell on the human body, which would kill the Japanese.
After the kinetic energy was attenuated, the bullets still had penetrating power that was difficult for flesh and blood to withstand. Those Japs walking in the front line were unlucky. Without any preparation, several of them were knocked down by the bullets that flew towards them, including theirs. Squadron leader.
A 9 mm bullet hit the Japanese squadron leader's spine squarely, and due to the weakened penetration, it was directly embedded in his spine, making him a hemiplegic disabled person on the spot.
This is true, if people walk on the mountain, disaster will come from the sky.
Therefore, despite their random shooting, each of them only loaded a magazine and ran away, but it caused more than 20 Japanese casualties.
Of course, Gao Xiaoshan and the others did not know these circumstances.
Now they only know that although the sneak attack just now knocked the little devil into confusion, it was like poking a huge hornet's nest, and everyone ran away without taking their heads back.
