After venting their anger, the airmen waved their wings triumphantly at the people on the hills on both sides, then stretched a smoke ribbon behind their buttocks and walked away.
The pilot's idea was simple. In any case, the position of the advance team had been found. As for the dropped aerial bomb, if there were eight bombs at the bottom of the valley, except for the eight bombs on the mountainside on both sides, there would definitely be no hope of survival. The effect of the bomb exploding in the valley, At least several times higher than on flat ground.
So, go back and report the location of the advance team, and then ask the ground troops to send a radio there, perfect.
When I was leaving, I saw from a distance that the person holding the command sword was probably the commander whose name I didn’t know, and he waved the sword to thank me!
The reconnaissance plane that came earlier has already returned. Regarding the battlefield records and the possible battles in the mountains, the plane can't help. It is useless to leave it. The war in the north is coming to an end. The infantry is going to search for the remnants. Just do it.
For pilots, it’s business to go back and have fun!
The breeze was blowing softly, singing softly in the mountains. The fire in the ravine was still burning, with occasional crackling sounds. Hu Yi, who was lying down with a telescope, looked increasingly ugly. After fighting with the Japanese for so long, his vigilance and sense of crisis had long been honed. Perfect.
On the surface, the plane did not find the target, and the experience of several remnants was verified. As for why the Japanese plane dropped bombs into the ditch, he finally figured it out. The plane left, but it did not make him feel relieved, but felt inexplicable. crisis.
In fact, there are indeed many dangers now, besieged on all sides, and enemies are everywhere in the mountains. For the Ninth Company, which has suffered more than half of its casualties, the next step is unknown.
Only the last platoon was left, and the road ahead was unpredictable. There were no reinforcements, the second echelon that had been transferred from the division headquarters could not be joined, and the soldiers who carried the wounded could not return to the team.
The troops have not been strengthened and replenished. Until now, they have only overcome the immediate difficulty. A large number of Japanese soldiers are still in the mountains. If they are not careful, the whole army will be destroyed.
Does it really have to be from south to north? In this case, it is clear that there is no chance. Tonight, no matter what, we must get rid of the Japs. Otherwise, if the advancing team behind them can recruit Fei Nei, they will definitely be able to contact other Japs troops. If the Japs find out their whereabouts, everything will be over.
Facing the Japs, wearing the Eighth Route Army uniform must be an advance team, the elite of the Japs.
With an enemy like this biting behind him, it’s no exaggeration to be more energetic. Can he really reach the outskirts of the Japanese encirclement at the headquarters? No confidence at all!
The gunshots in the valley stopped ringing. During the explosion, the extremely high temperature ignited dead branches, mixed with green bushes, and produced thick smoke.
Dozens of aerial bombs from the two bombers overturned the rocks and shrubs in the ravine, causing a buzz in his mind. Pan Zhuzi stayed on the mountainside, spitting out a mouthful of mud, pulled off his military cap and shook it a few times. Fortunately, The location chosen was good, halfway up the mountain, out of reach of aerial bombs. However, one soldier was killed by Japanese fighter jets.
Being bombed by a plane for the first time, the battle was unprecedentedly intense. Pan Zhuzhu tried his best to hide his nervousness and did not show it on his face.
"Platoon leader! Do we still have to defend? I can hardly keep my eyes open!" A soldier looked anxiously at the mountainside opposite.
"Go up and ask the Ninth Company to see what they mean!" It was the first time for Pan Zhuzi to experience such a battle. He was so bold and his voice was trembling.
The soldier put the gun on his back and ran up the mountain. After taking a few steps, he started to use his hands and feet.
The mountain is steep!
"Report, Captain Hu, do we still want to defend?"
"If you don't want to defend, you can go to the ravine!" Luo Fugui, who had first come back from hiding under the hill on the other side, said smoothly with a wink in his eyes.
Click - a crisp metallic sound sounded in Hu Yi's hand, the silver watch cover, the crystal dial, and the hands rotated steadily.
Thinking of the Japanese plane bombing, I had hesitated. The machine gun company position was plowed back and forth by bombs several times. Except for myself, the entire army was wiped out! My heart was twitching for no reason.
I have always been bombed by the Japanese and driven away.
Snap - the pocket watch was clenched in his hand again. Under the curved brim of the hat, a flash of determination flashed in his narrow eyes: "Go and inform Platoon Leader Pan to withdraw to the top of the mountain. Tian Sanqi and Tang Dagou will lead a squad to guard the way up the mountain. Tian Heiqian withdraws!..."
At this point, he paused and continued: "Mules...forget it...let Li Xiang lead the team, plus the female soldiers team, now go north immediately, join the special agent company, and assemble in the mountains south of the partial city."
"Tell the girl to come see me immediately..."
Through the telescope, residual smoke was rising from the ravine, but Lieutenant Okawa's black face had turned ferocious.
In this remote place, hunting geese all day long, my eyes were bitten by sparrows, and my radio station was robbed. It was a great shame and humiliation!
Are the aviation soldiers recruited by this wretched place here to show off their power and attack their own people? What has become of me now? More than fifty Eighth Route Army soldiers blatantly burned a few fires on the small hill on the opposite side to guide their fighters!
There must be a senior commander on the eighth road opposite!
"Report, a brigade of the 20th Division is ten miles to the west and is heading north. They have detached a squadron and come to reinforce it!" A Japanese soldier wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform came up from behind.
"Yo Xi" finally heard the good news: "How far away are we?"
"At the bottom of the mountain, we'll arrive in half an hour!"
Another Japanese soldier came with a disgraced face and reported: "A dozen warriors who attacked in the ravine received orders from Your Excellency, and only two of us came back... Sergeant Xiaoquan... was killed in action! Two of us were seriously injured..."
"Why didn't you carry them back?"
"The seriously injured are still in the ditch, and the medical soldiers are treating them..."
"You go and rest first!" Lieutenant Okawa clenched his command knife tightly and ordered with suppressed anger.
In the ravine.
The medical soldier was bandaging a Japanese soldier on a stretcher. The fire that was still burning in the distance was emitting thick smoke, making it difficult to open his eyes. The ravines and mountains were filled with smoke.
Unable to attack the mountain opposite, the Eighth Route Army disgustingly blocked the way up the mountain, and the Japanese vanguard troops in the ravine were ordered to change defenses.
The current casualties and consumption have caused the vanguard to lose its combat effectiveness. The newly replaced second lieutenant cannot accept that the battle is like this. Even if they capture the opposite hill, the result will not be better. If they continue to pursue, they will have to face the next mountain attack.
There is a large army to the north. It seems that this group of eight-year-olds probably want to lead a group of people around in the mountains!
When the reinforced squadron leader climbed up the hill, even though he knew that the Eighth Route Army troops in front of him were advancing troops, he still showed respect. The two Japanese commanders stood on the south side of the hill, away from the north.
"Why didn't you bring a radio?" Lieutenant Okawa became angry. If the person opposite was not the squadron leader, he would have slapped him in the face.
"Okawa-kun, this is not something I can decide. You should know that the Ministry of War radio station is only equipped to the brigade. Your mission is special and can be equipped with it. However, our entire brigade only has one radio station. The captain is being ordered to search for the remnants of the Eighth Route Army. They are more Needed!" The lieutenant who had just arrived replied unhurriedly.
"Baga, are you a pig? Our warriors didn't tell you before we came here that our radio station was... We lack radio stations? Your commander didn't receive an order from the military? Your 20th Division are all idiots who can surround you The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was all bought with the blood of our warriors by our advance team!" Lieutenant Dachuan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but roar.
"Hai, our destiny is to cooperate with the advancing team in the mopping up. After pulling out the net from west to east, we will then attack the Eighth Route Headquarters from the north and south. The reinforcements for the advancing team fell within the mission. Aren't we here?" The squadron leader thought we were here. There will be extra rewards, extra points for this raid into the mountains, but in the end he got scolded? His IQ faced anger and curses, and he had the same military rank. However, the other party was an elite force in the headquarters and did not dare to contradict him.
Lieutenant Okawa was filled with anger. He took off his gloves and drew out his beloved saber, and struck it directly on the stone next to him, causing a spark to fly.
For a long time, he looked at the darkening sky and concentrated on the Japanese lieutenant who was coming for reinforcements: "The Eighth Route Army is on the opposite side. Yours, immediately arrange people to go down to the ravine and attack upwards! In addition, send people back to inform your troops. Use the radio to mobilize troops and block the east and north directions. As expected, the group in front includes senior commanders of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Why not block the west side!" the lieutenant asked confused.
"Stupid pig! To the west is a cliff, which is the division headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. A large force is searching for it. Is it necessary to block it?"
