Someone is taking the initiative to shoot in the front, probably guerrillas. If you think further away, there are probably ordinary people hiding in the valley.
Under normal circumstances, when they see a large number of teams coming, escaping and moving are their best choices.
The pseudo-company commander was not stupid, but felt somewhat conflicted. If there were no resisting guerrillas, why would the imperial army keep them?
He still understands the principle of a good bird hiding in a bow, and a cunning rabbit being cooked by a running dog.
So he directly ordered his men to attack proactively, so that the rhythm was in his own hands.
If the imperial army came up from behind, they would probably force themselves to charge.
In order to cover the movement of the people, those Eighth Route Army soldiers fought without risking their lives, and even fought to the last man.
The pseudo company commander was originally a company commander of the national army before he surrendered to the Japanese. Although he could not defeat the Japanese, it did not mean that they really had no fighting ability.
I could find cover everywhere in the valley, and I saw only two guns firing in front of me.
A squad of puppet soldiers immediately became energetic in order to show off.
The grenade was fired and thrown directly into the valley ahead.
Knowing that he can't cause any harm to the shooter in the valley, all he wants is to have this courageous momentum!
After the grenade went off, several puppet soldiers rushed forward alternately in the smoke.
The shock wave shook both sides of the canyon.
The Japanese second lieutenant who followed was a little shocked when he looked at the cliffs on both sides. Rocks were still falling from the mountain.
It's really unlucky to be stoned to death if you don't die on the battlefield.
The second lieutenant felt relieved after the pseudo company commander assured that there could be no ambush on the cliff ridge.
Look carefully at the terrain ahead to judge the opponent's firepower.
From time to time, he would give guidance to the pseudo-company commander on how to adopt an offensive strategy.
The fake company commander was respectful on the surface, but he didn't take it seriously at all.
The imperial army's best ability of frontal attack and outflanking by two wings could not be used.
In such a terrain, any insertion is just a legend.
At the moment, there is no other way except to use firepower to clear the way and attack from the front.
As for climbing up the ridge, looking up at those cliffs makes me dizzy.
There were not many people on the road ahead, and the distance between the two sides was only forty or fifty meters.
Strong men can throw grenades directly over the opponent's head.
It's a pity that he doesn't have such a talent at his disposal
In such an environment, the biggest test is actually the mental endurance.
As for the mortar grenade, it is useless at all, because the explosion of the grenade will knock down a lot of rocks on the mountain ridge. A more powerful grenade will hit it. If the mountain ridge is collapsed and hit by the falling rocks, even if it is not dead, it will be broken. Broken ribs.
You can't do things like killing a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred others.
It seems that the Imperial Alliance Army has shown its ability to keep the bottom of the box this time.
The second lieutenant pondered for a moment, raised his thumbs and praised the pseudo-company commander a few times, then turned back and reported back to the lieutenant.
Although the advancement speed is not fast, there is no need for the imperial warriors to take this risk.
The front was blocking, and the rear was also fighting fiercely against Yamaguchi's advancing team.
The two sides are further apart.
Lieutenant Okawa had a dark face, looking at the bend of the valley fifty or sixty meters away to the north of the valley.
Four or five guns were fired continuously.
Are you trying to attract yourself into the valley?
Could it be that Tubalu judged that he was going to give up the pursuit?
Want to lure the enemy deeper again?
I looked at the top of the cliff. It would be great if I could get to the top. A thrown stone would be more lethal than a bullet.
We had previously arranged for people to go up the mountain ridge to have a look. There were so many thorns that there was no way!
Forget it, the entire North China east of Taihang fell into the hands of the empire, there was no need to risk the lives of the elites for these rats.
He directly ordered a squad to stay on guard in the valley. In such an environment, whoever attacks will suffer the consequences.
As long as they don't attack, Tubal Road will not come out at all.
Everyone will die when they come out.
Similarly, if the imperial army entered the valley, they would also suffer heavy casualties.
Other Japanese soldiers carried the wounded and began to retreat westward.
This kind of environment is naturally suitable for the weak.
The seriously wounded were carried deep into the valley to the east.
The lightly wounded scattered and hid in the bushes on both sides of the valley.
The uninjured warrior began to climb the rope up the east cliff.
Wang Yinzhi made a simple hunting bow and carried a box cannon, but nothing else.
He raised his eyes and looked at the sky as big as his palm.
The sun was already turning westward, and the sunlight formed a line on the mountain wall. The upper side was bright and yellow, while the lower side was so gray that one couldn't even see the shape of the mountain wall.
My eyes roamed the mountain wall from time to time, hoping to find a way to climb up the mountain with my bare hands.
Wang Yinzhi took the initiative to stay and take care of the wounded.
She knew that even if she went up the mountain ridge, she wouldn't be able to help much.
He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing and grabbed the rope to climb up.
Ma Liang's arm was injured, so he naturally stayed.
Wait until it gets dark, establish a position on the mountain ridge, and then use the darkness to let your comrades pull up with ropes.
The platoon leader did not expect that the puppet army would be so fierce, and continuously retreated nearly a hundred meters. Except for the sudden attack at the beginning and killing two puppet army soldiers, the shooting behind them had no effect at all.
It's not target shooting on the battlefield, and it has almost nothing to do with whether your marksmanship is good or not.
Although the puppet troops were not very good at marksmanship, they had the upper hand for a while because of their large number of grenades.
"Report, the wounded have been moved into the east valley. Now we have to lead the enemy through the fork in the road. We can go up the mountain after dark."
"Fight and retreat at the same time."
Although the pseudo company commander was afraid of death, he could still hear the other party's gunshots getting farther and farther away.
Seeing that the opponent is retreating, it is estimated that the people have moved south. Logically speaking, it is natural to increase the intensity of the attack at this time.
He knew that the valley was very long, so he was not in a hurry.
In this kind of terrain, we can fight if we can. If we can't hit the common people, the guerrillas will run away and don't care about themselves.
If it were the imperial army, there would be no way to defeat the guerrillas in this kind of terrain.
This is also the reason why repeated raids have always failed to wipe out all the guerrillas.
He waved to the messenger and said, "Go and report to Taijun immediately. Our troops have achieved preliminary victory and are advancing steadily."
Under No. 100, a squad of more than ten people were fighting fiercely at the front, while the others were leaning against the mountain wall in the valley to hide from falling rocks.
"Report, the one who made the cold attack in front was the Eighth Route Army. He has already run away. Do you want to catch up?" The attacking squad leader looked proud.
"Okay, you lead the whole class to attack with all your strength, and I will hold the line for you. I promise to send your pension to your wife."
"Forget it about the company commander, the brothers have to replenish some bullets."
A certain puppet soldier saw a flash of light on the top of the ridge ahead: "Report, there is someone on the ridge."
The pseudo company commander quickly raised his head.
There was indeed a figure swaying on the mountain ridge, probably reflecting the light from the bayonet hanging on his waist.
The squad leader next to him said, "Be careful, there is someone on the ridge."
The puppet troops stopped advancing.
The Japanese who were holding the battle at the back got the news and immediately sent the second lieutenant to the front to take command.
The second lieutenant raised his head and saw no one for a long time, so he immediately ordered: "Advance all."
The pseudo-company commander started arranging manpower with a dark face. The platoon leader next to him suddenly lowered his voice and muttered: "I knew this would happen, you have to retaliate."
"Isn't it okay if you don't repay it?"
"How about this, let the brothers in front call the Eighth Route Army?"
"What to shout?"
"Borrow me a way."
The pseudo company commander shook his head: "What if there are still ordinary people in their ravine? Will he borrow it?"
"Let them lead the people to retreat to the ditches nearby."
"The idea is good. What if the Eighth Route Army doesn't buy it?"
"There are so many of us, doesn't he have any discernment?"
"Who's going?"
"Fifty yuan, I'll go." A lean puppet soldier from the side immediately came over.
"Okay, I'll let the brothers go up first in a while. Everyone is shooting into the sky. The Eighth Route Army should understand what we mean." The pseudo-company commander warned: "Slim Jing, be careful."
As an official, you can't win people's hearts.
Hu Yi and Captain Li quickly reached an agreement.
