Chapter 48 Encounter!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, sporadic gunshots were heard in the distance. Company Commander Wang immediately found a commanding height to observe the situation with a telescope.
One kilometer away, a group of Japs were about 500 meters behind the two Eighth Route Army soldiers. The Japs behind them were chasing and firing cold shots.
Then, Captain Wang looked at the nearby terrain and pointed to a horizontal hilltop in front: "Everyone is ready to fight! One platoon is responsible for the left wing, three platoons are responsible for the right wing, and one platoon is with me in the middle, and two machine guns are placed on both sides.
!”
"yes!"
The Eighth Route Army behind them quickly took action, jumped out from behind Company Commander Wang with their guns in hand, and ambush them on the hilltop pointed by Company Commander Wang.
Captain Wang's thinking was very pure. He had more than twice as many soldiers as the Japanese. Even if they were all new recruits, he could kill half of the soldiers with just a few rows of guns, and then he could rush in and see the red on his bayonet!
In this barren mountain, the Japs have no reinforcements, so they will be able to completely annihilate them in less than half an hour, and a proper military achievement will be achieved.
The soldiers moved very quickly, and soon they were ambushing themselves on the top of the mountain.
At this time, Wei Dayong and Wang Xikui ran from the bottom to the top of the mountain. They leaned against the sloping back of the mountain, breathing heavily and preparing to take a rest.
If it weren't for the purpose of protecting Li Xiuling, Chen Yongsheng and the others, Wei Dayong would have taken this group of devils around the mountains and walked them.
With his accurate marksmanship, it is not a problem to kill ten or eight Japs.
Now that the Japanese military dogs have been killed, as long as they get rid of this group of Japanese soldiers, they can return to the independent regiment.
Once you cross this mountain, it will be difficult for the Japanese to catch up.
The two of them suddenly saw the Eighth Route Army all around them, and were almost shocked. Where did so many people come from in this barren mountain?
At this time, Captain Wang held a shell gun in his hand and ran over to look at the two of them. Then he looked at Wei Dayong: "Are you Captain Wei of the Independent Regiment?"
Wei Dayong nodded and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
Captain Wang said: "I am Wang Dashan, commander of the 3rd company of the 3rd battalion of the 772nd regiment. Thank you for your hard work. Your people are behind you. Leave the rest to us!"
Group 772?
Wei Dayong was a little confused and didn't know why they appeared here.
He glanced at the soldiers of the 772nd Regiment around him. Some of their expressions were excited, some were scared, and some were even childish.
Although the weapons are all 38-type guns, they have no heavy firepower and only have two light machine guns.
If you dare to ambush the Japanese just like this, aren't you just playing the piano randomly?
Wei Dayong said in a deep voice: "Captain Wang, although the Japs are not many in number, they are all elites and they also carry heavy machine guns and mortars. I suggest retreating..."
"Elite? I'm fighting the elite!"
Before Wei Dayong could finish speaking, Captain Wang said with a proud look on his face: "Captain Wei, take your people and hide in the back. I heard that your independent regiment was almost wiped out by a small group of Japanese soldiers in Yangcun last time, haha
, learn from us later how our 772nd Regiment fought against the Japanese."
How could we retreat with military glory in front of us?
Originally, Company Commander Wang had a pretty good impression of Wei Dayong, but after being persuaded to withdraw, his impression of him dropped to the bottom.
Everyone in the independent group is so afraid of the Japs, no wonder the Japs almost wiped out the entire establishment.
"Hey!"
Wang Xikui on the side suddenly became unhappy and said that I can do it, but that the independent group cannot!
Wei Dayong held the shoulders of Wang Xikui, who was about to argue with Company Commander Wang, shook his head at him, and then the two of them withdrew from the hillside.
Since Captain Wang was determined to fight, Wei Dayong stopped trying to persuade him.
"Company commander, the Japanese are coming!"
Company Commander Wang quickly stepped forward to take a look. As he spoke, the Japs' forward had already approached the top of the mountain about 300 meters away.
"Get ready to fight!" Company Commander Wang ordered, "Bring the Japanese closer and hit them. No one is allowed to shoot until I shoot!"
The Japs at the bottom of the mountain chased him all the way until they were 250 meters away from the top of the mountain.
The Japanese soldier at the front suddenly stopped and started chirping.
The Japs behind suddenly scurried around like mice, hiding behind potholes and rocks.
Most of the Japanese who had been following also fell down and prostrate themselves.
The light was very good, and there were no trees to block it. The mountain was so big, and more than a hundred people were suddenly crowded, so it was difficult not to be noticed.
Coupled with the fact that the recruits had no ambush experience, they were so nervous that a dozen muzzleloaders were leaked out.
He was discovered by the Japanese after more than 200 meters.
Company Commander Wang did not expect that the Japanese would discover them so quickly. The Japanese were so confused that the situation suddenly came to a standstill.
At this distance, it would be difficult for veterans to hit the enemy, let alone recruits who had not fired a few shots.
The person in charge of the machine gun was a veteran. At this distance, the machine gun could reach it, but the Japanese were lying down, so it was difficult to hit them.
The bullets were not brought by the strong wind, and I did not carry many bullets with me this time.
It's not right for Company Commander Wang to fight now or not to fight.
On another hill behind the valley, Wei Dayong and Wang Xikui walked up, and everyone gathered around them with concerned expressions.
"Company Commander! Lao Wang!"
"Captain Wei, are you okay?"
Wei Dayong smiled and said: "It's okay!"
Chen Yongsheng asked: "How is it, Captain Wei, has that dog been killed?"
Wang Xikui said with some admiration: "Our company commander, four hundred meters away, shot off its head with one shot!"
"hiss!"
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and shot the dog's head off with a shot from 400 meters away.
What kind of magical marksmanship is this!?
"Company Commander, look, the Japanese have discovered Captain Wang and his friends!" Wang Gensheng, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, pointed to the other side and said.
The viewing angle here is very good and you can clearly see the battlefield situation.
Wei Dayong looked over and said: "Although the Japs have discovered Company Commander Wang and the others, we don't know how many there are, whether they have heavy firepower, or whether there are other ambushes around. I estimate that the Japs will launch a tentative attack soon."
Wang Xikui and Yang Dahe, veterans with fighting experience against the Japanese, understand this very well.
In Japanese operations, they would first send a small number of troops to test and find out the opponent's strength and fire deployment, and then use artillery to knock out the firepower points and effective forces.
That is, after the infantry charges, the artillery bombards, and after the artillery bombards, the infantry charges.
This trick has been tried and tested in battlefields in China and even Asia.
Not long after Wei Dayong finished speaking, the Japs from the vanguard class suddenly received orders from the rear, and began to put their heads out and mount their guns, shooting sporadically towards the top of the mountain.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets flew over the top of the mountain.
After more than twenty gunshots, the heads of three soldiers were shot through, making the recruits next to them tremble.
"What the hell!" Captain Wang cursed, "Hit me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wang took the lead and fired a shot, and the gunshots on the top of the mountain rang out like firecrackers.
Chapter completed!
