Enemies appear in the valley to the east.
Zhang Weimin, who wanted to evacuate south, had fought with the group of Japanese who were chasing him, and it was clear that the fighting effectiveness of that group of Japanese was not very strong.
He even wanted to eat the Japs.
Now he had to protect his staff. If the Japanese didn't chase them too close, he had no intention of attacking them.
I really don’t know why that idiot in Jinshanchuan thought that this large group of Japanese troops would go north to block the Eighth Route Army’s retreat to block the Japanese troops.
The Japs in the sweep each have their own targets. This group of Japs chased them all night yesterday, and their target was clearly them!
Only a small group of Japs appeared in the north, which made him feel uneasy. He was a little worried that other Japs might cut off his way south under the mountain ridge in the south.
Unfortunately, the staff officers could not march any faster.
The vanguard soldiers facing south have almost reached the ridge opposite.
The staff officers were still walking slowly down the mountain on the low slope.
Fortunately, so far, no traces of enemy activity have been found on either side of the valley or on the opposite mountain ridge.
What we compete for now is speed. As long as we can cross the opposite mountain ridge and enter the rolling mountains before the outflanking enemies are in place, we can advance and retreat on our own. It will take at most one day to enter Li Tie's head defense zone...
The Japanese second lieutenant currently has a lot of troops, a whole squad!
Now that they had a good location, they didn't even pay attention to the defeated soldiers of the national army who were coming up the mountain ridge.
Seeing that the top soldiers of the defeated army were almost in front of them, the Japanese dispersed into the bushes and thatch on both sides of the mountain road.
There was even time to clean up the traces left on the ground...
The leading soldiers of the national army heading south finally climbed up the mountain ridge.
Panting like a cow, he lay in a mess on the floor.
The squad leader who led the team held up the telescope and continued to observe carefully to the south.
In the field of vision, there are mountains and ravines.
After looking at it for a while, I didn't see anything strange.
Relaxing for the time being, I sat down directly on the edge of the thatch, pulled out the kettle, unscrewed the lid and poured it into my mouth.
A soldier with a face like the bottom of a pot pulled a handful of thatch from the nearby thatch, trying to pull out two thatch roots and put them in his mouth to chew the sweet taste.
Suddenly...he found traces of someone stepping on the thatch.
Having been engaged in reconnaissance for a long time, although this man was shocked in his heart, his face remained calm.
Holding the thatch root in his mouth, he deliberately stretched himself, shook his head and took the opportunity to look around. There were definitely traces of someone walking through the thatch not long ago!
The more I looked at it, the more frightened I became. Even the ground where everyone was sitting now had traces of cleaning!
Under normal circumstances, there would be some dust on the ground, but here, it's so clean...
He didn't dare to turn around and look around. From the corner of his eye, he saw that some of the old footprints on the road he had seen when he went up the mountain had completely disappeared!
My scalp was numb and I forced myself to calm down.
I looked at the crooked thatch again and saw that the time it took to step on it... was definitely not more than half an hour!
No one would do something as boring as cleaning up footprints on the mountain ridge!
When something goes wrong, a demon appears. After finishing the job, he doesn't leave, but instead crawls into the thatch. Its purpose is obviously self-evident!
My heart was almost in my throat, and the muscles in my hands and feet were tense and seemed to be trembling. However, my face pretended to be calm. I slowly walked to the squad leader with my gun in hand and shouted loudly: "Hey, squad leader, should we move on now?"
Before the squad leader could answer, the man continued to approach and lowered his voice, his voice trembling slightly: "Don't look around. There is something going on nearby. There must be enemies in the thatch, and there are quite a lot of them!"
The squad leader was startled. They were all brothers and they knew each other's personalities very well. He replied loudly: "Of course we have to continue heading south. We will have to drive one more night today and we should be able to return to the station before dark tomorrow." .”
The monitor didn't make any gestures.
I just ran all day yesterday, and I had agreed when we went up the mountain to find a safe place to have a good sleep after dark.
Hearing what the squad leader said, the soldiers next to him immediately became nervous. No one looked around, and no one made any unusual moves.
But the real thought in my heart is: No, there are enemies on the mountain ridge!
I don’t know how many people there are on the other side, but now my dozen or so people must have been surrounded. There are two reasons why the other side didn’t take action. One is that they are waiting for the group behind to go up the mountain before launching an attack. The other is that the other side does have the manpower, so He didn't dare to take action against the dozen or so people of his own.
Only three or five Japanese soldiers dared to chase a platoon of Chinese soldiers away. If there were Japanese soldiers on the mountain, then he would definitely be in the first situation.
Then, the Japanese have probably blocked both sides of the valley!
The squad leader inadvertently looked at the northern hillside. The staff team had entered the valley...
No longer hesitating, he directly shouted the order: "The wind is tight, copy the guy..."
In less than two seconds, the national troops who were sitting on the mountain ridge enjoying the mountain breeze and basking in the sun jumped into the chest-high thatch next to them in groups of three or four.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese second lieutenant was stunned for a moment and immediately ordered to fire decisively!
The defeated troops in the north have descended into the valley and are now completely unable to fly.
No matter what, we must first annihilate the dozen or so national troops under our noses!
Bang...ba...
Chug tug tug...
Rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns fired one after another.
The gunshot sounded very suddenly, and the two sides immediately exchanged fire with less than 20 meters apart in the thatch.
On the one hand, it was prepared in advance, and on the other hand, it was a temporary cover.
Black grenades began to swirl in the sky, and the grenades were spinning. As soon as they came up, both sides used their box-pressing skills!
The rain of bullets was flying, and the thatch was too deep, completely covering the traces of both sides. No one dared to look up in the rain of bullets.
Shooting at close range, soon there were screams.
Boom boom boom...
Grenades and hand grenades exploded one after another. The roaring shrapnel cut off the branches of the shrubs and shattered the stems and leaves. The mess was everywhere with the smoke.
The battle was intense from the beginning, and it was surprisingly fierce. Bullets whizzed and shrapnel fell like strong winds and raindrops.
Without warning, there was a roar like a storm on the mountain ridge.
Although the combat effectiveness of the friendly guard camp that has been together for a long time is not as good as that of the Japanese, at least they have put in the effort in training.
The squad leader did not choose to engage the enemy in all directions, but adopted the method of assaulting in one direction.
Concentrate the whole squad's firepower and take the initiative to attack along the mountain ridge eastward, striving to have close contact with the enemy.
They are all veterans and know the enemy's firepower configuration very well. If they are a squad, in addition to three infantry groups, they will only have one machine gun and a bomb delivery group. As long as they are mixed with the enemy, even if the enemy has a grenade launcher Also completely useless.
And there is a submachine gun group on our side. As long as we get close, we can completely crush the enemy in terms of firepower!
Assume that the Japanese troops have more than one squad, and now they have entered the core area surrounded by the Japanese. Whether they are attacking or retreating, they have no chance to escape!
If you run south, you will completely sell your back to the enemy and use it as a target!
The friendly squad leader's command ability is not bad.
The direction he chose to attack was not blind, because the south was facing the sun and the thatch grew deeper.
On the other hand, as long as the battle starts on his side, the large troops behind him will definitely know that there are enemies on the mountain ridge. Therefore, he will try his best to attack fiercely. Even if he dies, he will have to "beat out" the enemy's troop deployment on the mountain ridge!
At the same time, it reminded the troops behind to take countermeasures.
As for immediately retreating back to the mountain ridge, or turning east-west into the valley, it was completely beyond his scope.
Lieutenant Ghost screamed in his heart. He originally planned to let this squad go and wait until all the defeated soldiers behind entered the valley before taking action. When he had to open fire, he suddenly found that this group of soldiers entered the thatch and looked like they had dug into the mud. Loach.
And the firepower is extremely fierce.
Thatch fell to the ground piece by piece, and his machine gun team was hit by a grenade.
The sound of bayonets penetrating flesh resounded in the thatch.
But the opponent had a submachine gun, a melee weapon, and in a short while the two sides were arguing about the outcome...
The two sides fired randomly in the thatch, bullets flying randomly, causing the elites of the thirty or so elites originally hiding in the west to not dare to come for reinforcements.
The opponent clearly only had one squad, but he allowed the most elite troops of the imperial army to have no way of talking to him. The second lieutenant was so angry that his mouth was twisted!
However, in this current environment, he found that he couldn't think of any way!
In addition to letting the imperial army stabilize their position first, throw grenades where there are submachine gun sounds.
There seemed to be no choice but to let his men shoot in the direction where the enemy might come.
A group of rats almost disrupted his plan.
