Volume 1 Chapter 045 Comrade, which unit are you from?
After hearing the reminder, Shen Quan, Shi Song and the others all became excited.
finally come!
They quickly looked towards the dirt road.
Soon, a cloud of dust rose from the dirt road.
A group of Japanese soldiers, led by Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda, were heading this way.
This is not a good place for an ambush. Once the Japanese realize something is wrong and retreat to the artillery tower, it will be very difficult to defeat them.
Over time, more trouble may arise.
Shen Quan waved his hand and shouted, "The Japs are strong, retreat quickly!"
A battalion of soldiers climbed up from their positions and ran towards an unnamed mountain.
With such a big commotion, it was impossible to hide it.
A few sharp-eyed Japanese soldiers saw a figure running in the distance and shouted , "Lieutenant Colonel, look!"
It’s not easy to run away at this time.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda shouted, "Don't let them get away! Chase them!"
More than 900 Japanese soldiers let out a howl.
They immediately accelerated and ran in the direction the enemy was fleeing.
The Big Sword Team didn't just run away.
From time to time they turned, crouched, and opened fire.
Bang, bang, bang…
Twenty or thirty gunshots rang out.
Two or three devils fell.
There was an unlucky guy, lying in a pool of blood, howling like a wounded beast.
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda became even more angry.
"These damn Chinese people don't deserve to be called soldiers. They can only hide in holes like rats!"
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda kept cursing, venting his dissatisfaction.
These damned Chinese pigs never dared to fight the Imperial Army head-on. They only knew how to play hide-and-seek games.
"Sato, your squadron, keep chasing! Otsuka, Yoshida, you two, lead your teams to attack from the left and right! We cannot let these enemies escape!"
"Hayi!"
The Kuroda Battalion was divided into three teams, hoping to surround the enemy and swallow them all in one go.
At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, Commander Kong Jie heard the report from the reconnaissance squad.
He looked confused.
When did such an Eighth Route Army appear in Xinhe Town, Heyuan County?
How come I don’t know?
Logically, I am the commander of this area. Even if there is a combat mission, you can't bypass me!
Kong Jie shouted, "Come here, get in touch with them immediately. I want to know who is fighting the Japanese on my territory?"
"Yes!" The guard platoon leader immediately ordered the reconnaissance company commander to be responsible for contacting the other party.
A battalion of the Eighth Route Army actually engaged in a battle with the Japanese army in Heyuan County.
He, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, didn't even know it.
This is a serious dereliction of duty!
The commander of the reconnaissance company quickly set off and rushed to the battlefield with a squad of soldiers.
At this time, the "Eighth Route Army" was still trying hard to escape, and the Japanese army was desperately chasing them.
The Eighth Route Army did not just run away without a trace.
They were always in front of the Japanese army, as if they could be caught with just a little more effort.
But...it's always just a little short, and I need to try harder!
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda was riding on his horse, looking at the Eighth Route Army less than 300 meters ahead, his eyes full of anger.
How can these peasants run like this?
Won't they feel tired?
I've been chasing it for almost an hour!
Why can't I always catch up?
Have you given up?
But I feel a little unwilling!
I've been chasing you for so long.
It's impossible that a few people died this time. If I didn't kill many enemies, I would be scolded by my superiors again when I go back.
Let’s keep chasing you. I don’t believe that the Imperial Japanese Army can’t defeat a bunch of you peasants!
As for whether it was a trick of the Eighth Route Army, Colonel Kuroda was not worried at all.
The Eighth Route Army lacks heavy weapons. So what if they were ambushed?
It would be difficult for a brigade or a division to defeat us.
If you can't reach your destination, just hold on and wait for reinforcements.
The Kuroda Battalion continued to pursue the Eighth Route Army's deserters.
The scouts continued to pass on the news of the Kuroda Battalion to Chu Yunfei in a timely manner.
Chu Yunfei received a telegram from the signalman and said, "The Japs are coming. Let the soldiers be prepared!"
The messenger immediately passed on the order.
The position of the artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment was set up on a high hill. Eight Jin-made 82mm mortars and 11 Jin-made 75mm mortars were moved from pack horses and assembled.
The observer quickly reported the location of the devils.
A gunner quickly observed the range and direction of the artillery fire by referring to the map through the scissor-shaped gun scope.
The Japanese were about to fall into an ambush.
Chu Yunfei shouted, "Fire! Use the shells to cook a pot of steel broth for the Japs!"
Upon hearing Chu Yunfei's order to fire, Lieutenant Colonel Liang Guoping shouted, "All artillerymen, fire! Fire! Fire!"
Each artillery company had already adjusted the firing angle, with the muzzles pointing at the enemy's concentration points.
As soon as the order to fire was received, a series of commands were heard from the artillery position, and soon the first test shell flew out of the gun barrel.
After a test firing, there was another round of commands to adjust the data at each artillery position, and then three salvos began.
After a test-fired shell from the 358th Regiment's Artillery Battalion exploded, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda was stunned .
Why is there shelling?
Do these Eighth Route Army soldiers have mortars?
That is the artillery that only the main force regiment of the Eighth Route Army has!
Is this the Eighth Route Army trying to scare me?
Or is it really an ambush, trying to swallow our team in one bite?
After less than 30 seconds of confusion, Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda knew the answer.
Groups of shells fell one after another, and the sound of explosions was deafening.
Since 1940, the Japanese troops in Shanxi have rarely encountered this level of bombardment. Especially when facing the Eighth Route Army!
The sudden bombardment slowed their reaction down a few steps.
Conventional movements to dodge artillery fire are slow.
19 shells fell into the Japanese camp.
More than 30 Japanese soldiers were killed immediately and dozens were injured.
They didn't know how many shrapnel hit their bodies, blood was gushing out, and they soon died.
What was even more miserable were the half-dead devils, who were screaming and begging.
Hope their companions can rescue them.
But they basically had one foot in the grave.
Seeing their intestines exposed, the Japanese soldiers wanted to vomit.
Not to mention that the enemy is still bombarding.
At this time, they couldn't care less.
How can I care about others?
"ah!"
Miserable cries rang out among the Japanese troops.
But their nightmare is not over yet.
Another round of shelling!
Some people were so overwhelmed by the bombing that they couldn't bear it anymore.
They howled and rushed forward, staring at the artillery fire.
But they finally managed to escape from the fire curtain created by the artillery fire.
What greeted them was a hail of bullets.
Under the attack of hundreds of guns and more than a dozen light machine guns, their bodies were torn into seven or eight holes like rags.
Then he fell backwards with a thud.
When they fell down, they turned into cold corpses.
The 358th Regiment used artillery fire and bullets to cook a pot of steel broth for them.
Lieutenant Colonel Kuroda is going crazy!
What the hell is going on!
Why did the Eighth Route Army have such powerful firepower?
This is impossible!
To possess such strong firepower, it would take at least a division of the Eighth Route Army.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army division ambushed us?
Damn, those bastards from the Special High Technology Department and the Military Police.
Do they focus their energy on women's bellies every day?
The Eighth Route Army dispatched a division, but they couldn’t even detect it?
Colonel Kuroda howled, "Tactical shift! Quick!"
Still trying to be tough!
At this time, he was still trying to save face, refusing to admit that he had been ambushed, and even shouting for a tactical shift!
Even if Kuroda's battalion wanted to make a tactical shift, it would have to ask the 358th Regiment whether it agreed.
The 4th Battalion had already crossed over, trying to block the Kuroda Battalion from escaping.
As soon as the cannon sounded, the 5th Battalion of the Big Sword Team, which had been fleeing just now, immediately stopped, lay on the ground and began to fight back.
Nearly 500 guns immediately killed more than a dozen Japanese devils forever.
"Just now you chased me like a dog, now I will beat you like a dog!"
Shen Quan was muttering to himself while shooting a box gun excitedly.
A voice suddenly sounded.
"Comrade, which unit are you from?"
Shen Quan took a breath when he suddenly heard this familiar name.
“Thank you for the reward and support!”
