Fatty Liu's big head kept dangling in Wang Chao's six-fold mirror. Wang Chao had never seen him so arrogant. He was riding a tall horse, with a mirror box in each hand, and he didn't know what to say.
The more than thirty Eighth Route Army troops responsible for luring the enemy fled all the way and lured the bandits to the ambush position of the main force of the Second Company.
The second company's ambush position was very simple. It was a simple fortification more than one meter high built with sandbags on the widest road on the street. Two 92 heavy machine guns and a dozen crooked light machine guns were mounted on it. Hua Mulan couldn't bear to use her rocket launcher on them.
Wang Chao's sniping point was on the roof of a restaurant 200 meters away. This was a commanding height nearby. His mission was to capture the thief first.
The second platoon, responsible for luring the enemy, accelerated their pace after entering the town, and the distance between them and the bandits was increased to about 150 meters. This distance made it difficult to be hit while marching, and it happened to block part of the bandits' field of vision.
After rushing into the town, the bandits were all thinking about robbing money, food, and women. If it weren't for the pressure of the bandit leader, they would have let go and rushed into the houses on both sides of the street to do their business. How could they be in the mood? Chase down a group of broken soldiers.
"Brothers, kill! If you kill an Eighth Route Army soldier, you will be rewarded with 2 yuan!"
In order to prevent bandits from entering the town and herding sheep, Fatty Liu offered a high price. Two oceans was enough to make a fool of himself.
As expected, the bandits were focused on chasing the Eighth Route Army. It only took a few minutes to cover the 500-meter distance. Suddenly, Fatty Liu's eyes were full of fear. He saw a wall blocking the way in the distance;
And those Eighth Route Army soldiers who escaped tacitly avoided the wall from both sides...
"Damn it, there's an ambush!"
Fatty Liu reflexively shrank his neck, trying to escape the fate of being hunted. Unfortunately, Wang Chao in the distance did not intend to give him a chance and gently pulled the trigger.
"Snapped!"
A 7.92mm Mauser pointed bullet came out of the gun and hit Liu Fat's big head in a flash of lightning;
Fatty Liu felt a heavy blow, and he flew off the horse and fell into a meat pie.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of gunfire was an order. After Wang Chao's gunfire, a dozen light and heavy machine guns mounted on the sandbags suddenly opened fire on the group of bandits.
The rain of bullets will knock down a large group of bandits in front of them, while the bandits behind are still rushing forward with inertia, rushing forward and succeeding;
In just two or three minutes, the bandits suffered hundreds of casualties. The Eighth Route Army's firepower exceeded their knowledge. Many people were beaten stupid and just rushed forward out of habit.
"The idea is too tough, it's ridiculous!"
Hua Leopard is worthy of being a bandit leader. He is quick to see an opportunity. After shouting, he runs away from the town. He is as nimble as a leopard. He really lives up to his name.
"Snapped!"
Wang Chao aimed at the fleeing leopard and shot him, but unfortunately he was blocked by a minion and became the scapegoat;
This kid is very cunning. He burrows into the crowd and knows how to escape. The biggest skill in escaping is to run faster than others. He will die as a fellow Taoist but not as a poor Taoist.
This is how bandits fight: one nest comes and the other flees;
When fighting against the wind, they are as fierce as tigers. They snatch money, food, and women. There is nothing they dare not snatch!
Once they encounter a tough idea, they will abandon their helmets and armor and even throw away their guns. There is nothing they can't bear to throw away.
Because the bandit leader Fatty Liu was killed by a sniper, the bandits were leaderless. Suddenly they were violently fired by more than a dozen machine guns. They quickly let go and ran for their lives, competing to see whose legs were faster.
The blast of the charge horn sounded that left people stunned, and the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the town began to launch a counterattack, chasing the bandits' butts and beating them.
The bandits were defeated like a mountain, and no one was willing to turn around and resist. Bandits would not die for others. This is why there is a strange phenomenon of a squadron of Japanese soldiers chasing a regiment;
It's not that this squadron is more capable of fighting, but that no one wants to stay behind and die for others. They just want to run faster than others and let others die. This is a common problem of defeated soldiers.
Professional armies are like this, let alone a group of bandits, so there was a strange phenomenon of more than 100 Eighth Route Army troops chasing hundreds of bandits. The bandits just wanted to escape, and their guns and ammunition were thrown all over the floor.
When Hua Baozi and others rushed out of the town, they did not run a few hundred meters before they plunged into the ambush circle of the fourth platoon and the fire platoon, and were mowed down dozens more.
Blocked in front and pursued by soldiers behind, the bandits wisely chose to surrender and knelt on the ground. Among them were the bandit leader Hua Baozi and the steward Zhang Zhong;
Zhang Zhong was prepared to accept the illegal salt, but he did not expect that the bandits were suddenly defeated. Before he could escape, he was inexplicably made a prisoner of the Eighth Route Army;
He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body. Now the Zhang family would have nothing to do with it.
"Be honest and surrender your guns without killing them. The Eighth Route Army will give preferential treatment to prisoners!"
Second platoon leader Shi Lei shouted loudly, which frightened Zhang Zhong so much that he trembled and dropped the pistol he was preparing to commit suicide on the ground.
When the leopard saw it, Lima had an idea, raised his hand and shouted:
"Eighth Route Chief, I want to report the Zhang family and make meritorious deeds. The Zhang family paid us to come here——"
When Zhang Zhong heard that something bad was going to happen, he became jealous and wanted to pick up a gun and put out the leopard's mouth, but Shi Lei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, stomped on his finger. Zhang Zhong screamed in pain.
"Damn it, I told you to be honest, but my words fell on deaf ears."
When Hua Baozi saw that this boy dared to do something against him, he became even more angry. He even hated the entire Zhang family.
If he hadn't boarded the Zhang family's pirate ship, he would still be a popular drinker in the village, so why would he risk his own fortune?
Hua Baozi decided to expose everything about the Zhang family in order to save his life from the Eighth Route Army.
"Commander of the Eighth Route Army, this guy is the Zhang family's butler. He is the one who paid us to come over and cause trouble for you. They want to take back the salt!"
When Shi Lei heard this, he immediately happily slipped Zhang Zhong away. He had caught the real owner. He put a gun to Zhang Zhong's head and asked coldly:
"Death or life?"
Zhang Zhong stammered:
"The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially, you can't kill me!"
Shi Lei didn't waste any time and simply pushed a bullet into the chamber. The sound of the bullet hitting the bolt was like a reminder from hell.
"3, 2——"
Shi Lei coldly counted down to three, and Zhang Zhong was sweating all over his body. The Eighth Route Army treated prisoners preferentially, and it was wartime. Who would dare to say that he was a prisoner if he was killed...
"Eighth Route Commander, spare your life, I'll give it to you! I'll give it all to you!"
"Snapped!"
Shi Lei still pulled the trigger, but it was empty.
Zhang Zhong had long been frightened and fell to the ground. A pungent smell came out, and the boy actually peed in fear.
Shi Lei said disdainfully:
"You're so brave and still want to confront the Eighth Route Army?"
"Come here, keep this coward alone and treat everyone else as prisoners!
What are you doing standing still? Clean the battlefield and rescue the wounded. "
Hua Baozi was about to say something when he suddenly realized what he was saying.
The Eighth Route Army officer just said that they would all be treated as prisoners, and the Eighth Route Army treated prisoners preferentially and rescued all the wounded, so their lives were saved.
Hua Baozi, who had temporarily saved his life, began to feel alive again, secretly thinking:
"No, I have to make a contribution! Zhang family, I can't help you!"
