Chapter 438
After all the nearby Japanese and puppet troops were attracted, the third assault group and firepower group began to move away from the breakout force.
The Japanese and puppet troops besieged them were chasing them, fearing that the fat that bites their mouths would slip away, so they rushed to chase them!
A huge gap of more than one kilometer wide appeared in front of the breakthrough troops.
Platoon Commander Li quickly came out of the hiding point: "The sniper team went to the front to explore the way, eliminate the remaining enemies in the gap, we followed behind and quickly broke out of the Japanese and puppet troops' encirclement!"
A team of forty war horses and more than ten mules and horses suddenly appeared in the quiet ravine.
Most of the horses were tied to the spoils seized from Zhou Cheng’s trip to Taiyuan, and a small number of them immediately sat down with gunpowder experts and their families who came to Taiyuan to meet.
Under the escort of the third squad of the reconnaissance company, he quickly passed through the Japanese and puppet troops' encirclement along the bottom of the ditch...
To the south of the mountain, no matter how powerful the troops in Wang Tieshan are, they are still flesh and blood. After fighting for a long time, they will know that they are tired.
After more than five hours of fighting, the team of sixteen people has reduced to ten people, and everyone's spirit is obviously not as good as it was at the beginning.
"The time is almost over. We won't fight anymore and we are ready to break through!" Wang Tieshan frowned and ordered.
The squad leader of the first squad of the reconnaissance company was not optimistic about the subsequent breakthrough and frowned and analyzed: "Deputy Company Commander, there are too many Japanese and puppet troops around us. There are more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops in each strait. It is difficult to severely damage them in a short period of time and break through their defense. If we move a little slower when breaking through and are blocked by the Japanese and puppet troops for one or two minutes, the Japanese and puppet troops on both wings will definitely be surrounded immediately. We have suffered several losses in front of this style of play, so we must be cautious!"
Wang Tieshan replied very seriously: "If we can't attack and kill, we can use strategies."
"The reason why we suffered a loss in the front is that we do not intend to break through, and we must attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops through strong attacks to let them know that we must exist."
"No need now, I decided to give the Japanese a slap here!"
More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops, holding guns and lined up scattered troops, slowly advancing in the predetermined direction.
In front is a mountain more than 200 meters high, covered with stones and shrubs. The terrain is rugged and is very suitable for Tibetans. The Japanese and puppet troops searched very carefully and had to stab each bush with a bayonet. Only after confirming that there was no suspicion were there before moving forward.
"boom……"
An explosion suddenly rang beside the Japanese and puppet troops. Amid the splashing flames, the Japanese who were standing next to the explosion site were blown up on the spot.
The sudden accident made other Japanese and puppet troops both nervous and expectant.
There are thunders on the mountain, which means that the enemy you are looking for is likely to be hidden in front of you. If you can kill them, you will definitely not be able to escape with a great achievement.
But these people are so powerful that if you are not careful, you will catch the Suoshan troops off guard and then take the opportunity to slip away.
Therefore, every Japanese and puppet army was very nervous and looked ahead with a vigilant look, fearing that they would be targeted by their opponents and would become their next target of attack.
"Boom...bang..."
Another thunder was detonated in the middle of the team, and two gunshots rang out on the hillside at the same time.
With the cooperation of gunfire and thunder, the Suoshan troops fell down three people at once, two of whom were the Japanese.
The Japanese and puppet troops became even more nervous, and they picked up the machine gun and fired at the hillside.
However, because the gunshot just now were covered by explosions, it was difficult for everyone to judge the location of the sneak attacker by gunshots, and most of the Japanese shot aimlessly.
But there is one thing that the Japanese can be sure of. The enemy who had searched the mountains for several hours was indeed on the mountain in front.
"Boom... da da da da..."
The explosion sounded again. This time the explosion was grenades, not thunder, and there was also a series of machine guns strafing sounds that reached the Japanese ears.
"Even machine guns and grenade launchers are equipped, which means that the enemy we are looking for is on the mountain!" The Japanese team leader made a judgment with an excited look on his face.
He pulled out his command knife and pointed to the position where the machine gun was shooting just now, and ordered anxiously: "Machine gun shooting, suppress the opponent's firepower, the infantry continued to search and advance, forced the enemy to the top of the mountain, compressed their range of movement, and then gathered and wiped out it."
"Immediately contact the mountain search troops on the left and right wings. We have found the target. Come and cover the mountains ahead of us immediately. We must not let them escape again this time!"
The red signal flare that was found and requesting reinforcements was soon hit by the Japanese squad leader.
After hearing the gunshots, the Japanese and puppet troops next to them were hesitating whether to send troops to reinforce. When they saw the red signal flare, they knew what to do and quickly assembled troops to kill towards the high ground where the guns were fired.
As soon as the two wings of the mountain troops gathered, several gaps with a width of more than 100 meters appeared in the encirclement.
If dozens of people break through with mules, horses and supplies, they will not escape the eyes of the Japanese.
But only five people were going to break through the national rescue army.
Under the cover of night, they ran and hid, and when they were less than thirty meters away from the Japanese, they all hid in a ravine.
The Japanese and puppet troops were eager to reinforce the battlefield, and they did not search every ditch like before. Moreover, there was not even a bush in the ravine around them, so it was difficult to hide people.
The Japanese who marched from the top of the ditch just glanced at the ravine and made a judgment that there was no enemy inside, and then continued to advance and reinforce the battlefield.
Although the five scouts were covered with thatch for disguise, the Japanese were too close to them. Each soldier held his weapons tightly and held his breath and listened to the footsteps of the Japanese not far away.
If the Japanese noticed something was wrong with the ravine and sent troops to search, they could only fight with the Japanese.
Fortunately, the goddess of luck stood on their side again, and the footsteps on the top of the ditch did not stop for a moment, and soon disappeared into their ears.
After confirming that the Japanese were away, five scouts continued to advance along the ravine and successfully broke out of the Japanese encirclement.
But Deputy Company Commander Wang Tieshan was still surrounding the circle to attract the attention of the Japanese, and they had to pick them up before leaving.
The battle on the mountain became more and more intense, especially the sound of grenade explosions, which sounded every few seconds.
In order to give the Japanese army the illusion that the operation team was all on the mountain, Wang Tieshan converted all the grenades seized by the troops during the hours of combat into thunder, which could not only kill the Japanese, but also slow down their attack speed, and give the support troops a roundabout way behind the Japanese to gain time.
The three Japanese search teams had joined forces, and more than 300 Japanese soldiers formed a huge encirclement on the mountainside, pushing Wang Tieshan to the top of the mountain bit by bit.
Although this method of playing takes time, it works very well.
In less than ten minutes, Wang Tieshan's activity area was just as big as a slap on the hill.
If the receiving troops did not appear yet, he could only fight the Japanese with a light machine gun, and break out of the encirclement with a gap.
This is the result that Wang Tieshan most reluctant to see.
The bullet does not have eyes and will not circumvent around because of who the opponent is.
If both sides hold weapons and shoot at each other, no matter how powerful the team members behind them will be beaten into sieves, and one out of ten will be left.
"Captain, the support force has appeared, on our flank..." A team member ran over excitedly.
A flashlight suddenly appeared about fifty meters behind the Japanese and puppet troops, flashing one after another.
Because they were behind the Japanese and puppet troops, and the Japanese and puppet troops were all on the top of the mountain, no one noticed the existence of the lights, but Wang Tieshan, who was on the top of the mountain, could see clearly.
Changshang ordered: "They finally came. If they didn't take action, we would fight the Japanese with guns in their arms."
"We have a few grenades left..."
"Five..." a team member reported.
"I'll greet the Japanese in the east, fire the cannon now, and then arrange the grenade launcher into a thunderbolt. The Japanese can't imagine what we can't get."
"Boom...boom..."
The explosion rang out quickly. Although the attacked troops suffered heavy losses, the Japanese team leader was very excited.
The enemy on the top of the mountain is already in a desperate situation, either breaking through or being killed.
From the analysis of the fights over the past few hours, they will definitely not sit still and wait for death.
Now they concentrate their firepower to attack themselves, which means they are likely to break through from themselves. If the troops take the opportunity to stop them and kill them, the great achievements promised by the military headquarters will be theirs.
The captain led the troops to continue moving forward while preparing to block the opponent.
But he waited for a long time but could not see the breakout troops. Instead, he waited for gunfire from the south of the mountain.
"No, our enemy is attacking the world!" The captain shouted with a look of unwillingness.
But there was no expression of worry on his face.
In the explosion just now, although I judged that the opponent would break out from him, I did not ask the Soshan troops in other directions for reinforcements, so no matter where they finally broke out, there were seventy or eighty imperial troops and imperial assistant troops standing in front.
However, the battle on the south side of the mountain was not as good as the squad leader's judgment.
Wang Tieshan led the restraining troops to attack first, and fired together with the piercing machine guns, and immediately fired the Japanese machine gunners, and then stared at the Japanese infantry and fired.
The puppet army mixed among the Japanese was directly ignored by him.
When the Japanese and puppet troops were all focused on Wang Tieshan, the receiving troops quickly approached behind them like ghosts.
"Boom boom boom..."
Five grenades fell from the sky and all hit the pile of Japanese devils. In the splashing fire, at least ten Japanese devils were killed and injured and lost their combat effectiveness.
But even so, the Japanese and puppet troops still did not notice the danger behind them.
Because there is no sound when throwing grenades, under the cover of night and gunfire, grenades fell from the sky, and no one knew where they flew over.
"Boom boom boom..."
It was not until the second round of five grenade explosions that the remaining Japanese and puppet troops realized that the attack came from behind, but it was too late.
"Baopao... dada..."
Five scouts immediately replaced their weapons with pistols and submachine guns.
At this time, they had already touched less than 30 meters behind the Japanese and puppet troops and fought on the rugged mountainside. Submachine guns and pistols were more useful than rifles.
The bullets flew towards the Japanese and puppet troops as if it was raining, and several Japanese soldiers caught off guard were killed.
In addition, those killed by grenades before, Wang Tieshan led a team to kill. More than half of the Japanese and puppet troops attacking from the south of the mountain have suffered casualties, and most of them are Japanese. The more than ten Japanese and more than 30 puppet troops who survived were all in a confusing state and were almost collapsed.
