Volume 1 Chapter 050: Monster Stealing
Li Feng, the captain of the reconnaissance company, had already been suspicious of these troops, and when he saw the 358th Regiment launching a charge, he immediately understood what was going on.
He hurried back to report.
When Kong Jie heard that it was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army pretending to be the Eighth Route Army to set up an ambush and fight the Japanese, he could no longer sit still.
He quickly led the New Second Regiment to come over.
The scouts reported that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had defeated a Japanese battalion and the devils were in the process of being routed.
He immediately ordered the soldiers to hide on the hillsides on both sides of the road. When they saw the Japanese coming, they immediately greeted them with grenades.
Even though the quality of these grenades is not good.
But the number is too large.
Before the Japanese army could react, two or three hundred grenades exploded one after another.
A series of explosions were heard in the Japanese camp.
A scorching air wave surged up, shrapnel whistled and flew, tearing flesh and releasing large amounts of blood. The Japanese soldiers hit by the shrapnel screamed in agony.
The terrible rain of grenades finally ended, and the Japanese army charged ferociously at the enemy who tried to block their way, like wild beasts in trouble.
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion who were following behind suddenly changed their expressions. Even Sun Jiang, who stayed behind, was stunned and murmured, "Where did these soldiers come from?"
When many Japanese soldiers were killed and lying on the ground, Sun Jiang could see clearly that the soldiers who were intercepting the Japanese army were all wearing earth-gray uniforms.
The Eighth Route Army is coming!
After the New 2nd Regiment threw grenades into the Japanese position, the regiment commander Kong Jie shouted: "Go! Kill them!"
He was the first to jump out, and with two bangs from his Mauser pistol he knocked down the Japanese lieutenant in charge.
Then he pulled out the big knife from behind and slashed at the Japs fiercely.
The soldiers of the New Second Regiment rushed towards the howling Japanese soldiers, raised their bayonets and stabbed them hard!
The stabbed Japanese soldier grabbed the gun barrel with his hand, glared at the Eighth Route Army soldier, and stabbed the opponent with his backhand, knocking him down.
The two armies immediately fought each other.
When Sun Jiang saw that it was the Eighth Route Army, he was very angry.
Our 358th Regiment has put in so much effort and worked so hard for so long.
If you charge out now, you are clearly trying to steal the credit from our 358th Regiment.
This is intolerable!
"Brothers, kill! We must get back the body of the Japanese officer!"
After hearing the battalion commander's words, the 3rd Battalion reacted.
yes!
Now is not the time to be absent-minded, nor is it the time to be grateful to the other party for helping you stop the enemy.
The most important thing is to retrieve the body of the Japanese official.
We must not let the other side snatch away what we killed. Otherwise, who will get the credit?
"You bunch of guerrillas, get out of here! These Japanese devils belong to us!"
"Yes! It's ours. It's not your turn! Get out of here!"
"You shameless bastard, don't try to steal our credit. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The soldiers from the 3rd Battalion rushed forward shouting.
In order to retrieve the Japanese bodies, even though I am very tired now.
But the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion are even more motivated.
Hearing the shouting coming from the other side, Kong Jie curled the corners of his mouth.
I haven't even settled the matter with you about pretending to be an Eighth Route Army soldier, and now you're asking me to leave.
No way.
Anyone who sees the Japs will be punished.
If you are quick, you will get it. If you are slow, you can only blame yourself for not being capable enough.
Kong Jie shouted: "Comrades, hurry up. Don't lose to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army! Take down all these devils!"
"yes!"
Like general, like soldiers.
Kong Jie is not very flexible, but he is brave in battle and has a tough style.
The same is true for the soldiers of the New Second Regiment. When fighting, they don't care about their lives.
No matter how brutal the Japs were, they were not afraid at all.
He bravely took the big knife and chopped at the Japanese's head.
There were less than 200 Japanese soldiers left, and they were just bombed by the New Second Regiment, killing more than 30 people.
Now there are only about 150 people left.
The New Second Regiment with more than 1,000 people, plus the Third Battalion with more than 600 people, attacked from both sides.
No matter how fierce and powerful the Japanese army was, they had no choice but to kneel down.
In less than 5 minutes, the Japanese soldiers were reduced to a pile of corpses lying on the ground, bleeding to death.
The Japanese army was destroyed, but...
The soldiers from the New 2nd Regiment and the 358th Regiment disliked each other and were facing each other with their rifles equipped with bayonets.
The bayonet was almost placed on the opponent's chest.
It looked like they could fight at any time, but no one dared to make the first move. They just kept cursing.
The soldiers of the 358th Regiment cursed. "You bunch of bastards, these devils belong to us, and the credit belongs to our 358th Regiment. Get out of here!"
The soldiers of the New Second Regiment also cursed: "Bullshit, we were the ones who killed these devils. The credit belongs to us, the New Second Regiment!"
…
Sun Jiang endured the gunshot wound on his shoulder and shouted, "Go and report to the commander!"
Dealing with the Eighth Route Army can be a big or small matter.
There was nothing wrong with the quarrel, but if the two armies came to a head, it would be something that a small battalion commander like him would not be able to handle.
More importantly, there are only more than 600 people left in the 3rd Battalion.
The number of people is a bit disadvantageous!
Hurry up and ask the commander to come over to support us.
After killing the remaining Japanese soldiers, Chu Yunfei was leading the 358th Regiment in pursuit when he heard the signalman sent by Sun Jiang.
As soon as I heard that the new second regiment had arrived.
Chu Yunfei rode his horse and led the main force of the 358th Regiment to rush over. Nearly 3,000 people from the 358th Regiment rushed over, and in turn, they were ready to surround the New Second Regiment.
As soon as he saw the regiment commander, Sun Jiang shouted, "Commander, you have to make the decision for us! My brothers fought desperately and finally killed the devils. These Eighth Route Army soldiers want to steal our credit! Commander, you see, I fought with injuries to kill the devils. We must not let the Eighth Route Army soldiers steal our credit."
Sun Jiang showed the wound on his shoulder.
Chu Yunfei saw this and hurriedly said, "Lieutenant Colonel Sun, go and get well soon. Don't worry, no one can take away the credit for our 358th Regiment!"
After hearing the commander's assurances, Sun Jiang lay on the stretcher with peace of mind and went back to Wuzhai Town to recuperate with the medical soldier's simple bandage.
Chu Yunfei passed through the 3rd Battalion under the escort of the guard company.
The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion shouted: "Sir, we defeated the Japs! These Eighth Route Army soldiers are so shameless that they are trying to steal our credit!"
"That's right. Commander, you have to make the decision for us!"
…
Chu Yunfei walked all the way to the front line and saw Kong Jie holding a pipe and shouted: "Captain Kong, what do you mean by this?"
We may be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but we cannot lose the battle.
Besides, how could we kill these devils without our interception?
Not to mention other places, our New Second Regiment made the contribution to defeating these more than one hundred Japanese devils.
not to mention……
Kong Jie shouted, "Captain Chu, most of these more than one hundred Japanese soldiers were killed by our New Second Regiment. What's the matter? Do you want to take them all for yourself? And Captain Chu, what do you mean by pretending to be our Eighth Route Army?"
When Chu Yunfei, who was originally aggressive, heard the other party mention that his subordinates were pretending to be Eighth Route Army soldiers, his anger immediately weakened.
The matter of impersonating the Eighth Route Army can be a big deal or a small one. To put it more seriously, the 358th Regiment had ulterior motives and deliberately wanted to put the Eighth Route Army on the shelf and use the Japanese army to eliminate the Eighth Route Army.
To put it mildly, it is understandable that we did this under the banner of anti-Japanese war in order to fight the devils.
Chu Yunfei rolled his eyes and thought of a countermeasure.
"Captain Kong, it will be bad for both sides to continue the confrontation. Let me propose a plan for everyone to discuss. It's not really a discussion. It's just a favor to me. To put it bluntly, I want these devils. I need their heads as military merit! As a condition, I will give you 150 Type 38 rifles and 2 Type 99 rifles as a reward for helping us intercept the devils. What think? Captain Kong is quite satisfied with this condition!"
