Chapter 76: The Japanese Breakout
Massacre, this is a one-sided massacre!
Under the independent battalion's covering fire attack, the Japanese on the mountain road suffered heavy casualties, and soon the casualties exceeded half.
The remaining several hundred devils were disbanded and in chaos.
"boom!"
“Boom boom boom!——”
Shrapnel and hand grenades continued to fall, and the Japanese were dizzy and running around in panic.
Some guys even dropped their weapons and looked miserable.
At this point, the Japanese Furukawa Battalion had basically lost its combat effectiveness.
Keiichi Furukawa and several Japanese soldiers from the battalion hid at the foot of a mountain. They fled here and there, constantly dodging the flying grenades and the suddenly exploding grenades and hand grenades.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a grenade exploded not far away, and large pieces of shrapnel flew towards Keiichi Furukawa and the others.
Keiichi Furukawa was unable to dodge and a sharp shrapnel scratched his cheek. Blood quickly overflowed and flowed down his cheek.
It makes this old devil look extremely ferocious and ugly!
"Damn it! This independent battalion deserves to be damned, damned!"
Seeing the soldiers lying dead on the ground, beaten without any chance to fight back, Keiichi Furukawa was so angry that he almost collapsed.
"Captain, please calm down!"
The Japanese captain staff officer next to him tried his best to persuade him: "Captain, the casualties of the Imperial Army are too great at the moment, order a withdrawal!
If we delay any further, our entire army will be destroyed!"
"Baga! Don't disrupt the morale of the army!"
Keiichi Furukawa glared at the captain of the staff beside him. His facial muscles trembled violently gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "Damn Independent Battalion, damn Yang Lin! I will chop off his head and the heads of all the soldiers of the Independent Battalion to comfort the souls of the imperial soldiers who died in this battle!"
The Japanese captain staff officer continued to persuade in an almost pleading tone: "Captain, you must not do this! We are fighting alone without any reinforcements. If we continue to fight, we will destroy ourselves. Please think twice!"
"Yes, Captain, there is no point in delaying any further. Let's move on first and then make other plans."
Several other Japanese officers from the battalion headquarters also spoke up.
"idiot……"
Since Keiichi Furukawa could become a major in the Japanese army, he was obviously not an incompetent person. After listening to the advice of his subordinates, he gradually regained some rationality.
If the battle continues, it will not only be meaningless, but it may also result in the death of more than 1,000 imperial soldiers in the entire army.
By then, he would become a sinner of the empire.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Keiichi Furukawa immediately opened his voice and ordered the troops to retreat.
"Order all units to take turns to cover the evacuation and move towards the valley exit. Quickly, quickly!!!"
After the retreat order was issued, the Japanese troops in the rear became the vanguard, fighting and retreating, evacuating out of the valley...
On the top of the hill, Yang Lin continued to fire while loudly commanding the soldiers to fight, always paying attention to the changes in the situation on the battlefield.
"Brothers, the Japs are almost dead. Keep suppressing them with machine gun fire and don't stop throwing grenades!"
"Beat them to death! Don't treat these little devils as human beings!"
Soon, Yang Lin discovered that the enemies on the mountain road seemed to be retreating. These were mobile merit points and experience points, more valuable than gold and oceans. They could be exchanged for ammunition supplies and medicines that were in short supply for the independent battalion. They could not be allowed to escape!
"Damn it, these little devils are trying to break through!"
"Third Company, concentrate your firepower immediately to block the Japanese 's retreat at the exit of Yerengou!"
In order to be on the safe side and keep all the Japanese soldiers here, he ordered the monk beside him: "Monk, run to the cavalry company immediately and tell Liu Xiao to lead his troops to the exit of Yerengou immediately.
If any devils break through our fire blockade, let him lead his troops to chase them and chop them into pieces! "
"Tell him again that I will keep all the invading devils here! If any devil escapes, he will be held accountable!"
"yes!"
The monk responded loudly, then turned around and ran towards the forest where the cavalry company was hiding with his long, strong legs.
…
In this battle, time was tight and although Yang Lin did not have much time to deploy his troops, he was still well prepared.
Among them, the first company and the reconnaissance company were responsible for luring the enemy. Of course, the baggage company and the people of Wu Village were also baits.
The second company ambushed deep in the Yeren Valley, and the third company ambushed near the exit of the Yeren Valley. In addition to eliminating the invading Japanese troops, Yang Lin also gave them another combat mission.
When the Japanese were defeated and tried to break out, we blocked the enemy's retreat.
In addition, the artillery company is responsible for providing fire support to strengthen the attack power of the second and third companies.
As for the cavalry company, the role they can play in the ambush is relatively limited, so Yang Lin’s task for them is to wait. If any Japanese break through the fire blockade of the third company, they should immediately use the mobility of the cavalry to chase them and eliminate them!
The exit of Yerengou.
The Japanese commander organized a commando team of more than a hundred people, and rushed towards the entrance of the valley with great momentum, braving the firepower of the independent battalion.
"Warriors of the empire, break out of the valley, kill the chickens! Kill the chickens!!!"
The Japanese deputy captain personally led the charge, which made the other Japanese soldiers show a brutal fighting will. They charged forward recklessly, completely ignoring the rain of bullets coming from the hilltop and the grenades that kept falling.
Even though their companions kept falling down beside them, they didn't even blink.
At this moment, they had only one belief, which was to fight their way out of the siege for the captain!
Third Company Commander Zhou Yun enjoyed the killing very much. This was the most satisfying killing experience he had ever had since he joined the army.
However, when he saw the Japanese assault troops rushing towards him with great momentum, he was still quite shocked.
Even with such a devastating defeat, the enemy was still able to organize an assault force. It must be said that the Japanese's combat effectiveness is not exaggerated.
Because if it were an ordinary army, they would have surrendered without any resistance.
"The Japanese breakout troops are coming. Brothers, stop them and kill these bastards!"
At Zhou Yun's command, the soldiers of the third company turned their guns and opened fire.
“Thump, thump, thump! Da-da-da…”
“Pah! Pah pah pah pah…”
The gunshots rang out like popping beans, and suddenly, a dense rain of bullets poured down on the charging Japanese soldiers like an overwhelming force.
The mountain road is narrow, and the Japanese invaders rushing up in groups like this are simply seeking death!
The Japanese soldiers who were charging in the front were the first to be hit and were shot by a hail of bullets.
The dense bullets penetrated the bodies of the Japanese soldiers under the powerful kinetic energy, blood spurted everywhere, and a group of Japanese soldiers fell one after another on the way to charge with screams...
