Seeing the large group of people filing out and starting their return journey, even the newly rescued prisoners of war were all in high morale, and Gao Jianwu felt hot in his heart.
It was really worth the trip.
There were five mules and horses beside him, carrying several mortars and artillery shells on standby.
"Captain, I'll follow you to fight the little Japs!" Song Tiecheng jumped out from the side, holding a crooked handle and an 81mm mortar on his back.
His chest was filled with shells and magazines.
There are still a lot of bloodstains left by the little devils on his body. He looks like a devilish muscular man, so murderous and tough!
Gao Jianwu just threw a canned meat and some dry food to this guy. He didn't expect that this guy's physical strength would recover so quickly after eating, and he felt like he was good again.
You must know that a crooked handle weighs more than 10 kilograms. Even the single body of an 81mm mortar weighs almost 10 kilograms. With bullets and shells included, it weighs at least more than 30 kilograms. Carrying this thing on your body looks like nothing is wrong.
"Okay, Tiecheng, follow me!" Gao Jianwu didn't think much about it. Song Tiecheng charged into the battle so fiercely that he would need a strong general to follow him later.
"Captain, let's go too!" The more than twenty new team members who had just participated in the battle were now fully armed and stood up without fear, following Song Tiecheng.
The red torches reflected the perseverance on their faces. Gao Jianwu did not expect that these team members would have such a strong fighting spirit just after escaping from the hellish prisoner of war camp.
Looking at their submachine guns and fully loaded grenades and magazines, Gao Jianwu just remained silent for a moment, then nodded, waved his hand and said solemnly: "Let's go!"
Soon, the team began to rush towards the second team's blocking position at a rapid march speed.
In the darkness, nearly 100 people marched silently with Gao Jianwu.
This team doesn't seem to have many people, but its firepower is quite impressive.
Not to mention a submachine gun commando team of more than 20 people, in addition to the three 82mm mortars, the artillery team was temporarily strengthened and added two newly captured 90mm small steel cannons!
In addition to the 81mm mortar carried by Song Tiecheng himself and the three 60mm mortars of the first artillery group, there were a total of 9 mortars!
Although everyone didn't know how many Japs were in front of them, after the hearty battle of annihilating the little Japs just now and looking at the big guys around them, everyone's morale was high. Following Gao Jianwu and fighting the Japs was so exciting!
...
Resistance position.
"Pfft!" Lu Fan spat out the mud that had gotten into his mouth, "The Japanese kid is really accurate in firing artillery. The labor and management only fired a few bursts before the shells came over. Fortunately, they built a wooden platoon bunker. Otherwise, I would still be here today."
While cursing, Lu Fan directed the machine gunner to pour the firepower of the 92-heavy machine gun on the little Japs running around in the firelight.
This was the vanguard of the Japanese reinforcements, riding in more than 10 trucks, preparing to reinforce the Qingshan Prisoner of War Camp. However, at this moment, the first two vehicles had been blown up by explosives and blocked the road. The more than 30 little Japanese loaded on the vehicles were flying all over the sky. , heavy casualties.
But the little devils in the remaining cars reacted quickly and jumped out of the car to fight back.
However, since they did not consider engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the Japs from the beginning, Xie Jincheng and Lu Fan ambush a little far away from the road, digging bunkers on the mountain more than 200 meters high from a high position.
The kid's counterattack was very difficult for a while. In addition to grenade launchers and portable mortars, machine guns and rifles are basically a courageous thing now. Most of the bullets fired can't even touch a hair of the guerrillas!
On the contrary, under the firepower of 9 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns and the output of nearly a hundred rifles, all the little Japanese who showed their figures were beaten into a sieve.
The advantages of high and low terrain are undoubtedly revealed!
"Baga!" Squadron leader Kogu Kazuo, who brought the little devils to reinforce the prisoner of war camp, hid behind a truck and didn't know whether he was scolding his boss or his opponent.
The situation before him was something he had never imagined. With such fierce firepower, Xiao Inu Kazuo thought for a moment that he was being attacked by a main group from Route 8, but how could this be possible?
The prisoner of war camp just reported that it was attacked by the main force of at least one regiment of the 8th Route. How could there be another regiment here now? You must know the number of the 8th Route that appeared on the Heyuan side, that is, some sporadic Tubal Route troops of the independent regiment.
On weekdays, most people just have cold shots from time to time.
He doesn't even have the strength to establish a small stronghold.
Before Koinu Kazuo could figure it out, the mortar team and grenade team of the second detachment also found some Japs firepower points and began to attack.
It was just operating at night, and the professional level of the grenade launchers and mortar gunners of the second detachment was far inferior to that of the little devils, so very few of them were able to hit the target in this first wave.
But it's scary even if it can't hit anyone. As soon as the little devil here heard the number of explosions from the shells, Kouga Kazuo almost collapsed on the spot.
At least 3 mortars and 9 grenade launchers!
It didn't take much effort for Kazuo Koto to count the number of his opponent's weapons.
Coupled with the two condescending heavy machine guns and nine light machine guns that had long been exposed, the enemy firepower he encountered today was completely beyond imagination.
It's much stronger than the firepower of the reinforced squadron he brought out!
What made Kazuo Kogu even more uncomfortable was that the enemy's machine gun fire point actually had protective fortifications built. He personally directed a grenade group to counterattack a light machine gun fire point, and actually fired three grenades without success.
Although the darkness affected the shooting accuracy of the grenade, Xiaoquan never believed that it was due to the ability of his men that he missed the target.
Rather, the opponent has built strong field fortifications to protect even the light machine guns, and grenades cannot blast the opponent's fortifications.
At that time, Koinu Kazuo had the shameful thought of turning to retreat. The current situation was too unfavorable for him. The terrain was unfavorable and the firepower had no advantage. The only advantage now seemed to be the number of people.
But soon, the mortar counterattack against the opponent's heavy machine gun firepower failed several times. Xiaoquan Kazuo discovered that the 8-way group in front of him was completely different from the ones he had encountered before. In the past, 8-way ambushes usually only fired three to five bullets. Will rush up and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
But now this group of 8th Route Army has no intention of rushing out to fight hand-to-hand, and relies on the fastened fortifications to shoot, which shows that they have sufficient ammunition.
When did a group of 8th Route Army come to Heyuan with more firepower than the Locust Army and still have enough ammunition?
The little dog and the man had a face full of question marks. The veins are bulging but he can only be helpless and furious.
However, Konu Kazuo did not dare to order a retreat immediately. The military discipline of the Japanese army was very strict at this time, and Konu Kazuo could not bear the responsibility for the defeat. If he really dared to lead the team to escape, he would have to commit seppuku and commit suicide waiting for him.
Xiaoquan Yinan gritted his teeth and persisted, and even organized a charge of more than 20 people. When he was about to rush to the enemy's position about 50 meters with casualties, his opponent suddenly fired a burst of submachine gun fire!
The remaining little devils were immediately beaten into sieves by the dense submachine gun bullets!
More than 20 little devils were all killed on the way to the charge, making this counterattack more like a sacrifice of lives.
"Poof", Xiaoquan Yinan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Under such fierce firepower, this group of 8th Route Army had been hiding submachine gun fire to no avail! Just wait for them to charge and get closer before suddenly firing!
It's simply too ungrateful.
So insidious.
At this time, Xiaoquan Kazuo did not dare to move, and commanded his machine gun, grenade launcher and mortar to launch a long-range counterattack. Although he also achieved some results, his opponent had the upper hand and a commanding position. For a time, Xiaoquan The man had no good way to break the deadlock and could only be beaten passively.
