Utamaru thought that Danwu would attack him head-on. After all, his current position had a very wide view, and the worst-case scenario was that the opponent would take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
But he believed that if the other party killed one of their teams, they would not give up so easily. What's more, if the other party really leaves at this time, then he will be safe.
Captain Utamaru was very pessimistic at this time, because this Japanese with a keen sense of smell smelled the breath of death after one of his squads disappeared mysteriously.
He knew that if he didn't do something, Pingshan would be his burial place tonight.
So Utamaru chose an open area with a clear view to camp, and ordered his soldiers to dig dirt on the spot to build a temporary bunker to prevent enemy raids.
Utamaru was setting up defenses intensively, but little did he know that Danwu had no intention of attacking by force.
He has four little devil's grenades, which are very easy to use. As long as he is a trained gunner, the shells can be directed and hit just like bullets.
Duanwu took Pang Hu and other eight people and quietly reached the edge of the forest northwest of the Japanese camp.
This location is about 150 to 160 meters away from the Japanese camp.
But Dragon Boat Festival did not risk going any further, because the effective range of the Japanese grenade can reach at least two hundred meters, and can reach as far as 500 meters or even 600 meters, so this distance is enough.
A soldier next to Duanwu lowered his voice and said: "Tuanzuo, I used to be an artilleryman. Isn't this thing a bit uncertain?"
Duanwu said: "It's good to use it as a mortar. There is a distance adjustment scale underneath, and it can be fired at a 45-degree angle.
Remember, we are shooting rapidly this time. I don't ask you to kill an enemy with every cannonball, but the cannonballs must be fired into the enemy's camp. Don't feel bad about the cannonballs, we'll grab them after they're shot. "
"It's a group seat!"
The soldier smiled, because the words "Dragon Boat Festival" were enough. The kid's camp covered an area of several hundred square meters. If he couldn't hit such a big target, then he would stop being an artilleryman.
Everything was ready. Under the Dragon Boat Festival's gesture, the eight people were divided into four groups and dispersed to arrive at the predetermined positions. Four mortars fired at the same time, making a thumping sound.
The grenade is not very loud when fired, and there is no fire but white smoke.
But these were under the cover of night, and the Dragon Boat Festival deliberately separated the four grenadiers, which greatly reduced the noise of the gunfire.
And with the distance of 150 meters, even if the little devil hears the sound of the cannon, he can't tell the direction of the grenade.
What's more, after the shells hit the ground and exploded, the ears of all the Japanese soldiers were buzzing. It was all nonsense to listen carefully to the sound of the shells to determine their position.
Four artillery shells fell, and one of the military tents was blown over. Seven or eight Japanese soldiers lived inside and were about to take a rest. As a result, half of the people were sent directly back to meet their Amaterasu.
The surviving Japanese screamed, but the explosion definitely didn't stop here. Another cannonball landed next to the Japanese sentry, and the sentry flew out like a rotten wooden pile.
Although the other two shells landed in the open space of the camp, the shrapnel hit the crotch of a passing Japanese soldier. The little devil couldn't move at that time and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
At the same time, the explosion of the artillery shell also woke up Utamaru who was taking a nap.
This Japanese soldier dispatched all the soldiers and thought the world was peaceful, but he didn't want a series of explosions to wake him up from his dream.
He rushed out of his battalion commander and looked at the Japanese who were running away or shooting randomly, and asked loudly: "Baga, what's going on?"
A Japanese soldier stopped and said: "Sir, we don't know yet. There was a sudden explosion in the camp. We suspect that the enemy used a grenade."
"Baga, why does the enemy have a grenade?"
boom! Boom! ...
Utamaru was still questioning, but he didn't expect a cannonball to fall near him at this moment. The little devil was so frightened that he stopped asking questions and hurriedly flew out.
A dog chewed shit and ate a mouthful of mud, but fortunately Utamaru himself was still alive after the explosion. But the Japanese soldier next to him was not so lucky. Although he also flew out, he was hit in the head by the flying shrapnel and was already cold.
But at the same time, Utamaru thought of one thing, and that was that his missing team had a grenade on them. That was his artillery squad.
"Baga, how can the Chinese be so picky? They killed my artillery squad and took away their grenade launchers. This is terrible. What should I do?"
Utamaru scratched his head very much, because his camp was no longer safe at this time. If he continued to defend, he would only eat cannon fodder.
Because the little devil's grenade can not only fire artillery shells, but also can fire Type 91 grenades. In other words, the enemy will not be short of ammunition. They'll blow up the whole camp.
Therefore, while we still have enough troops, we might as well break out of the encirclement and retreat to the main peak of Pingshan. We will be able to hold on relying on the favorable terrain.
Thinking of this, he got up and grabbed a soldier and said, "Follow me and evacuate to the southeast and give up here."
"Hi!"
The Japanese soldiers were eager to run at this time. They didn't even know where the enemy was. They just dropped the cannonballs one by one from the sky. If they didn't leave, there wouldn't be enough people to fill them.
Their bunkers are useless, because this is a direct-fire infantry gun. Even if you dig a two-meter-deep trench, it may fall in, not to mention that they only built simple bunkers.
So at this time, after hearing Utamaru's order, the kid ran away quickly with Utamaru.
The injured Japanese soldiers were still screaming, but at this time, the father and the mother were married and everyone was looking after each other, and they were all focused on escaping for their lives. The wounded soldiers could only stay there and wait to die, and were drowned in the fierce gunfire for a moment.
But fortunately, Utamaru led a large force to rush out and enter the jungle again.
But at this time, as soon as they entered the forest, they encountered machine gun fire.
The dozen or so Japs running at the front were instantly beaten into pieces.
It turned out that Dragon Boat Festival had already expected that when the enemy was attacked and could not find anyone, they would think of seizing a commanding height and defending it.
The only commanding height near here is the main peak of Pingshan.
Because the view there is wide and the mountain is very high, as long as they seize it, let alone less than thirty people in the Dragon Boat Festival, even if there are ten times more people, they will not be able to capture the commanding heights of Pingshan in a short time.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival had already asked Lao Abacus and his men to ambush on the only way to Pingshan, and shoot the Japs as soon as they arrived. It would be better if the Japs were forced back. The four-gun grenade can blow up little devils so much that his mother doesn't even recognize him.
But Dano underestimated Utamaru's determination.
Utamaru jumped over the wall in a hurry, knowing clearly that he had fallen into the enemy's trap again but still ordered to rush forward.
Perhaps he had guessed that if he retreated now, he would be dead, so he charged forward risking his life, and after killing more than thirty Japanese, he ran away without looking back.
"Is the little devil crazy?"
Old Abacus was stunned by the crazy behavior of the Japanese. He risked his life and refused to fight back, but just escaped with a group of remnants of the defeated general? ...
ps: I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival today. I almost forgot to add an update. Today’s fifth update is the last one. Don’t wait after reading this. Also, I would like to mention here that I may try to write a big chapter in a few days. The number of words suddenly increases, so brothers, don’t be surprised. A chapter of ten thousand words, hum!
