"Boss Hu, shooting at this distance is a waste of bullets! The Japs are good at shooting. Even if they hit us while we are covered, we can't bear it. So far, we have injured three of us, although they are all minor injuries. If this continues, the Japs will get more and more The more people there are, the more they attack, I don’t think they can survive until dark."
Hu Yi looked away from the map, looked around, and then looked at Luo Fugui: "Go and tell everyone to stop shooting, let everyone take cover, and tell the political commissar to retreat. There is no point in staying here any longer."
This was what Luo Fugui was waiting for. He hurriedly got up from beside Hu Yi and gave the order to Xu Xiao. Xu Xiao was unambiguous and immediately ran back to deliver the order.
Luo Fugui took a telescope and scanned the top of the mountain. He was a little panicked: "The Japanese have already exposed half of their body, are they about to attack? Run quickly!"
"It's useless to attack. The Japs are on the top of the mountain. There are so many weeds and there are so many Japs. They must not be able to find a suitable position. They can't see the bottom of the mountain when lying down. They have to stand up. Look at them. You dare to rush down towards the grenade!" The little girl understood Luo Fugui's worry.
Luo Fugui suddenly understood and continued to look around at his hiding men with confidence.
The number of enemies on the mountain is increasing. Going down from the small high ground to the foot of the mountain is not a gentle slope, but a series of ridges. If the enemy wants to come down, he has to touch it slowly. If he jumps around, there will be sharp rocks caught in the bushes. It doesn't seem to be easy to deal with.
The gunfire from both sides stopped, and the Ninth Company stayed in the bushes. Except for two or three positions where some people looked up secretly, the rest were hidden behind bushes and some large rocks. They squatted or sat and began to move forward. The grenades were pulled out one by one and arranged neatly.
The sun continues to move westward, and the sun is no longer so hot. The fierce exchange of fire just now seems to have happened a long time ago. People can't help but feel that the battle just now is fake, or that the silence now is not real.
Hu Yi's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkled. Why didn't the Japs attack? What were they thinking? Could it be that they have other ways, so they are not in a hurry here?
The shortest way to the division is here. If you take a detour, it will take at least half a day.
It was really a shock: No, did they really take a detour and take half of the eastern front? If this is the case, then there is no use for Jiulian Company to stay here now!
He raised his head and looked at the blue sky, wiped the dust from his hands on his body, carefully took out the pocket watch, opened it and took a look, it was four thirty in the afternoon.
"What's going on? The political commissar has retreated, and the Japs on the mountain don't seem to have come down!" Luo Fugui carefully put on his helmet and poked out his bear eyes from the bushes: "Boss Hu, are we Is it time to retreat?"
The little girl squatting next to Hu Yi replied smoothly: "If you want to run away, take your cowards and go first. The devils might be waiting for you in front. If you are not afraid of death, hurry up!"
"The Japs are in front, as if you saw them. Judging from your virtue, you have a crow's mouth!"
"Bah! The only ones who are ambushed by the Japanese are losers like you. You want to run away when encountering a battle!"
"I'm willing. It's better to be ambushed by the Japs than to watch more and more Japs up there. Seeing so many Japs gives me a toothache!" Two people, one big and one small, grinned.
Until a figure came running from the north, but it was Tian Sanqi. When the troops were gathering, he ran away from the north to conduct reconnaissance. He breathlessly reported: "Company Commander, we found a large number of footprints of Japanese army boots in the north!"
When Tian Sanqi came back, the two bickering men immediately stopped fighting and looked at each other without speaking.
After hearing this, Hu Yi stood up, looked at the bushes on the hillside, closed the pocket watch in his hand, looked at the sky, ignored the quarreling group of people, big and small, and said, "It looks like the vanguard of the Japs. They should have gone north, and the lack of movement from the Japs at the foot of the mountain means that the Japs have divided their forces. Some must have gone to the east half of the sky, or there may be other Japs attacking from the east. If so, then the Japs should have entered from the wine station. Mountain!"
Luo Fugui asked smoothly: "The devils entered the mountains from Meixian? Oh my grandma... Isn't this the end? Then the wine station's lair will be taken away again. We just fought with them not long ago, and they are now Entering the mountain again, Boss Hu, do you think they can be so powerful in running away?"
Little girl: "If the enemy really targets the division headquarters, how can they have time to manage the liquor station?"
"Do you know how many Japanese security forces there were last time? Hehe, one of them could spit to death those crooked melons and jujubes like yours!" Luo Fugui showed off his prestige.
"Fox, what should we do now? The situation is in a mess right now, and there are Japs all around, but this mountain is so big, no matter how good the Japs are, they can't possibly search the whole mountain, right?" The girl asked worriedly.
I have never encountered a situation like this before. The Japanese have launched many campaigns, and each time there is heavy thunder and light rain. The mountains are so big that it is difficult for tens of thousands of Japanese to enter the mountains.
"This...his grandma's, Boss Hu, I say, let's run together!" Luo Fugui realized that the problem was serious and no longer mentioned running first.
"Okay."
It was just a casual talk, but I didn't expect Hu Yizhen to answer, which made Luo Fugui blurt out: "Really?"
"Really, what you said is absolutely right. No matter how we defend, we won't be able to defend by dark." Hu Yi suddenly shouted in the direction of Li Xiang: "Go forward a hundred meters, anyway, we have to keep an eye on Just hit the ridgeline if you can, extend it twenty meters, fire another round, cover it with machine guns, and then retreat!"
Hu Yi had a simple idea. He wanted to leave anyway. This grenade was only useful when attacking and defending the position. The terrain in the mountains was complicated, and the two sides were fighting guerrillas. It was not as effective as a grenade. It was not easy to carry such a heavy thing while running.
Compared with the size of the Japs, which already numbered nearly a hundred people, it was actually possible to attack the Eighth Route Army directly under the hill a long time ago. Unfortunately, regarding the issue of firepower, the artillery should be coming up soon.
If the Japanese really dare to spend their money to kill this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, they will probably suffer a lot of casualties. However, in this mountainous area, if you suffer a serious injury, you may die. As the supreme commander of the mountain, how can you If you don't love soldiers like a son, wait until there is artillery firepower before you attack the Tuba Road under the mountain bag.
The lieutenant saw that it was already getting late, and the mortars sent from the bottom of the mountain had finally come up. So what were they waiting for? He immediately ordered the artillery to prepare for the cannons, and asked the baggage squad leader who had come up earlier to get ready before attacking downwards.
The first ones to come up turned out to be the heavy troops delivering supplies to the Japanese advance team. This was the real reason why the Japanese did not attack.
The lieutenant holding the telescope looked around and was immediately stunned. He was shocked and shocked: the Eighth Route Army at the foot of the mountain turned out to be moving down the mountain in groups, as if they were also taking action. What were they going to do? ? Want to attack?
Wouldn't it be nice to spend time together? Can't you wait until the imperial army's artillery is ready before attacking? cunning cunning…
However, when did the imperial army fall to this level?
