Chapter 46 The first defeat
Xiang Feng was so impatient that he rushed into the command center and started shouting: "Captain, are the Japanese soldiers from the county town sent troops?"
Zhou Cheng signaled them to sit down and nodded: "Early early this morning, a Japanese infantry squadron and two puppet troops dispatched to the county town, nearly 400 people marched urgently towards us, and the reconnaissance squad was staring at them."
"According to squad leader Tang's estimate, the enemy will be able to reach Jinshan Pass in two hours. Time is tight, so we can tell you how we should fight this battle?"
"So many people..." Several platoon leaders all took a breath and were very scared by the number four hundred.
"Captain, let's run!" Xiang Feng hesitated for a moment, and suggested guiltily.
"No prospect..." Zhou Cheng cursed with a look of regret.
"Do you still remember the first time Okazaki attacked Xiaoling Village? That time you also proposed to run away, but we went against the rules and fought head-on. Not only did we defeat the Japanese and puppet troops, but we also seized more than a dozen guns and saved our guerrillas' first fortune."
"I remember that the Japanese and puppet troops had nearly fifty people in that battle, and we only had three of them, and the troops were fifteen times different."
"This time, nearly four hundred people came to the Japanese. We had more than one hundred people, and there was only three times the gap in military strength. I don't know how many times better than that battle than the situation. Why did we run away?"
Xiang Feng looked embarrassed, and Li Yifang showed a thoughtful expression. As for Chen Zhengyu and Chang Yuanqiao, who had just joined the guerrillas, they were all shocked. Zhou Cheng said it, and then a hint of anticipation flashed on his face.
As the former garrison of the Donghui Town stronghold, they had heard of that battle.
Although Okazaki repeatedly blocked the news, he knew from the defeated puppet troops how some of the offensive troops were defeated by several Eighth Route Army...
Since Zhou Cheng and his three men could defeat the Japanese and puppet troops with a strength of more than ten times, there are more than 100 guerrillas now, and they can definitely defeat the Japanese and puppet troops with a strength of three times.
After taking all the expressions of everyone, Zhou Cheng stopped talking nonsense: "Since you have nothing to say, let me say it."
"The Japanese and puppet troops killed nearly 400 people and came in full force, but did they make a fatal mistake?"
"We are too contemptuous and don't carry heavy weapons."
"Last time we used the positions we arranged in advance to block the offensive troops commanded by Okazaki and consumed their troops."
"The Japanese and puppet troops equipped with grenade launchers and light machine guns cannot destroy our bunkers, and they can only be passively beaten when attacking."
"You have been training troops for the past few days, and the prisoners in the garrison are not idle."
"Half of the people are building barracks for everyone at the base, and half of the people continue to strengthen the two blocking positions we have fought against the Japanese."
"As long as the Japanese enter the mountain without heavy weapons, I will be sure to use positions to defeat them."
"Order: The troops will finish training immediately, and the first row of marches rushed to the first line of defense, and the second row of 2 and 3 guarded the second line of defense, and the first fire platoon supports the first row, and the second and grenade tank squads support the second and third rows."
"All guards are dispatched and we will go to Jinshan Pass with me."
"As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops entered the mountain, they greeted them with sparrow wars to let them see how powerful our guerrillas are."
Captain Fukuda rode on the war horse with a full face and enjoyed the surrounding scenery.
As he walked, a military officer suddenly ran over: "Sir, there is Jinshan Pass in front of him, and there are mountain roads inside. The terrain is dangerous, which is very suitable for ambushing."
Fukuda quickly raised his telescope and looked at it for half a minute later: "The troops are more vigilant, especially the vanguard troops."
"I heard that the Eighth Route Army likes to use guerrilla warfare to deal with us the most. The soldiers hid on the side of the road and waited for the Imperial Army to enter and suddenly fired. After the shooting, they would slip away, which made people unable to defend themselves."
"The guerrillas are too weak, and resisting us head-on is like killing ourselves, so they will definitely use guerrilla warfare to deal with us."
"If the Eighth Route Army attacks us, the troops will first use a pneumatic gun to counterattack them and suppress them, and don't let them slip away. Then shoot the grenade launcher, cover the Eighth Route Army's hiding position with grenades, and blow them into minced meat."
"Before leaving, I specifically asked the captain for double grenades, which were used to deal with guerrilla warfare."
There were too many Japanese and puppet troops entering the mountain. Walking on the mountain road, the team stretched for a full 300 meters.
Zhou Cheng led the guard squad to lurk quietly among the rocks.
I originally wanted to capture the thief and capture the king first, but I killed Captain Fukuda who entered the mountain with the first shot.
But he was too cautious and gave up the war horse when he entered the mountain and walked in the middle of the team.
This is the most difficult thing to deal with.
If the guard squad gave up the Japanese and puppet army vanguards and waited for the Japanese squadron leader to come and then fired, even if Captain Fukuda and ordinary Japanese gangs were mixed together, they would be targeted by everyone in a conspicuous captain uniform.
But in this way, the sneak attack was over.
The Japanese and puppet troops, head-to-head, are just on the wings of the guard squad, and will definitely be dispatched quickly and form a half-encircle to surround them.
With the strong combat power of the Japanese, the possibility of the guard squad escaping is almost zero.
This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army only chose the vanguard troops when it attacked the enemy.
The vanguard troops have few people, and it is difficult to encircle the sneak attack troops after being attacked. It takes time to mobilize troops from the main force, which gives the sneak attack troops an excellent opportunity to take the opportunity to slip away.
"Bang...bang..."
Zhou Cheng personally took action and took half of the guard squad to shoot at the same time.
The vanguard troops had fifteen Japanese soldiers and thirty-one puppet troops. When the guns fired, they were distinguished from their combat power.
The Japanese all fell down in less than half a second, and the puppet army took at least two seconds to fall down amid the superior's scolding.
In addition to being amazed, Zhou Cheng did not observe the results of the battle and immediately ordered: "Retreat the same way..."
"Dadadada..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a series of machine guns' straggling sounds, and the speed was extremely fast.
The Japanese riflemen also joined the battle, and bullets flew over, some flew over the stone, and some hit the stone and blew it, which was particularly scary.
"ah……"
A scream sounded in his ears, and he looked at it. A soldier was shot and fell to the ground. The bullet hole in his chest was still bleeding, and he didn't move. He could tell that it was beyond help after a glance.
A heavy feeling flashed across Zhou Cheng's face.
The Japanese reacted so quickly, and must have been prepared for it, just waiting for themselves to attack them.
My mind was running quickly, recalling whether the Japanese had other means to deal with guerrilla warfare.
Soon the three words "grenade launcher" appeared in front of you, and the expression on your face became heavier and he was very anxious to order.
"Everyone bowed his head, bent down and continued to retreat. His body must not be exposed. Leave here immediately. The Japanese and grenade launchers did not move..."
"boom……"
Whatever you are afraid of is coming, Zhou Cheng ran away less than five meters and exploded, and the powerful air wave almost pushed him down.
Looking back, I saw two other soldiers in the guard squad being blown over, with blood on their backs lying on the ground without moving.
Liang Hongjiang was still preparing to turn around to save the two people. Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth and called him back: "They are no longer rescued, continue to retreat..."
The six soldiers who were receiving the guard squad fired as agreed.
The rapid response speed of the Japanese and puppet troops was revealed again, and they immediately concentrated their firepower to shoot at them, but only two of the six people were withdrawn.
A full-scale guard squad was beaten to three of them as soon as they fought with the Japanese and returned home in a crushing defeat.
