Chapter 50 Rout and Ambush!
The valley Wei Dayong mentioned was the place where Company Commander Wang and others heard gunshots while they were marching.
His decision to attack was not without purpose. In normal times, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to easily enter this kind of terrain.
The Japanese who have won a battle will definitely continue to pursue in order to expand their victory.
When Captain Wang and others escape into the valley path, the Japanese will definitely chase them in a row.
Place a machine gun at the top of the valley. As soon as the gun fires from behind, the Japanese will lie down on both sides of the path to hide in the direction of the gunfire.
This first shot is crucial, as the enemy must lie within the range of the machine gun.
After quickly observing the valley, the terrain was better than Wei Dayong imagined, making it very suitable for an ambush.
So Wei Dayong ordered Wang Xikui: "Old Wang, you go to the entrance of the valley and hide and wait. Don't let the Japs find you. When all the Japs come in forty or fifty meters, you shoot the Japs behind you. This is the first shot."
You shoot first, then run away after the fight, and find a commanding height behind to suppress the enemy's rear. Don't let the enemy escape from behind."
Wang Xikui nodded heavily: "Yes!"
Then Wei Dayong said to several others:
"Gensheng, you climb above the entrance. If the Japanese want to escape from the valley, throw grenades down!"
"The view is good there. Go to that pillar and build a mortar position. Don't let the Japanese mortars and grenades set up!"
"Dahe takes your machine gun to the commanding heights and waits. Once the enemy lies down with his back to you, you use the machine gun to shoot him!"
"I'm not far away from you, the officer and machine gunner responsible for sniping the Japanese!"
"These idiots have been chasing us for so long. Hey, let's treat them to a dumpling meal and don't let any of them escape!"
Everyone looked stern, straightened their bodies, and said in unison: "Yes!"
Then everyone got busy according to Wei Dayong's order.
Chen Yongsheng and Wu Jing asked: "Captain Wei, what about us?"
Wei Dayong turned to look at Wu Jing, Ge Erdan and the others. They had little combat experience.
Wei Dayong said: "Hurry up and find a place to hide. Bullets don't have eyes, and being hit by a stray bullet will kill you."
Chen Yongsheng was about to speak but was stopped by Wu Jing.
It's not that she's afraid of death, it's that she knows that their participation in a battle of this level is just adding to the chaos.
Yang Dahe came over and asked: "Which of you can suppress bullets?"
Ge Erdan was the most positive and quickly said: "I can!"
Yang Dahe took out a magazine and ejected the bullet: "Okay, you can pretend it, and be quick!"
Yang Dahe was not too afraid of this kind of one-sided ambush battle. He was afraid of position battles and encounters with the Japanese.
The most fought battles in the Jinsui Army were that kind of battles, but they were never won and many brothers were lost in vain.
Ge Erdan held the bullet in one hand and the magazine in the other, loading it.
"Stop! Stop!" Yang Dahe interrupted him and looked at everyone, "Who else among you can?"
Li Xiuling timidly said: "I...let me try."
Yang Dahe glanced at her and nodded: "Okay, then you can try it."
Li Xiuling looked gentle and quiet, but her hands were very dexterous. She grabbed the magazine and loaded it with ten bullets.
Yang Dahe said: "Okay, it's up to you, follow me!"
Ge Erdan was left with a confused look on his face, and his face was a little uneasy.
He was fearless, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even compare to a woman. This was something he couldn't accept.
Maizi and Miaozi came over and pulled Ge Erdan: "Brother Erdan, go quickly, the Japanese are coming."
Xiuling's father watched Xiuling follow her and sighed for a while, but in the end he didn't object.
…
The preparations were in full swing here in the valley, but the fighting was very lively on the other side of the mountain.
Company Commander Wang held up a 38-meter cap and aimed at the steel helmet 200 meters away.
Gouba——
The bullet landed a foot away from the devil's head and bounced up a trail of dirt.
Depend on!
Captain Wang pulled the gun bolt again and continued to aim and shoot. The bullet finally hit the target.
The bullet penetrated the prisoner's head from the front of the helmet. The prisoner tilted his head and became completely motionless.
On the left wing, two Japanese infantrymen were finally killed.
But at this moment, a small black dot appeared on the head of the Eighth Route Army soldier. The black dot first flew to the highest point, and then suddenly fell down.
boom--
A burst of mud suddenly kicked up near the Czech machine gun position on the left wing, and the impact point of the bullet missed by more than ten meters.
The machine gunner was not injured, but took away the lives of two soldiers.
The machine gunner reacted quickly and moved quickly with a light machine gun in hand. As soon as he left, a grenade flew down.
The enemy's grenade began to exert force.
The machine gunner on the right was not so lucky. Two grenades just landed on the machine gun position, and a Czech light machine gun was destroyed in an instant.
Boom! Boom!
Five hundred meters in front of the hilltop, the Japanese's two mortars also started working.
Two crooked handles and a Type 92 heavy machine gun poured ammunition towards the top of the mountain from three directions.
Bullets rained down on the position on the top of the mountain, harvesting lives.
Artillery shells fell one after another on the position on the top of the mountain.
Company Commander Wang climbed up from the smoke and looked at the situation on the top of the mountain with a gray face.
This was just one attack, and already about thirty soldiers were killed or injured.
He punched the soil hard, and Company Commander Wang's eyes were about to burst, and he roared: "Retreat!"
The recruits, who had long thought of quitting, heard the order and rushed down the back slope of Bald Mountain with a loud crash. A hundred people rushed towards the valley.
In the distance, Yoshida saw this scene with a telescope.
"Yo Xi!" Yoshida, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly showed a proud smile, "Pursuit!"
The squad leader immediately ordered: "Give it to Saoli!"
Upon hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers immediately carried Sanba Gai with bayonets in their hands and chased in the direction of the eight-pronged rout with strange screams.
Although the Japs soldiers are generally short in height, almost every soldier is built to be thick and stocky with well-developed muscles, with a well-nourished and shiny face. Whether it is arm or leg strength, they all have a well-trained explosive power.
Eighth Route Army soldiers are generally thin and have malnourished faces.
In terms of the quality of individual soldiers, the Eighth Route Army cannot currently compare with the Japanese.
The Japs soon caught up to a distance of two to three hundred meters away from the Eighth Route Army. The Japs behind them fired cold guns. The last Eighth Route Army soldiers running at the end would occasionally be shot and fell to the ground.
After Captain Wang and others all ran into the valley, the Japanese pursuers continued to pursue them without any hesitation.
