Chapter 604: Several artillery positions were arranged in advance
"Bakayaloo, retreat, retreat, retreat!"
How could the Japanese squadron leader dare to stay?
According to their configuration, there is only one grenade launcher for each squad. There are 18 grenade launchers here, which means there are at least a dozen squads.
There are more than a dozen teams, which means more than a hundred people.
Although he had a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops, he had escaped after being bombed by minefields and infantry artillery and only half of them were left. Now he was bombarded by eighteen grenade launchers and it was estimated that there were less than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops left under his command.
And they were being attacked from both sides.
If the enemy's infantry guns moved forward, he would be dead.
As he shouted, all the remaining Japanese soldiers and puppet troops followed him and retreated to the flank.
"Bobcat Sweet Potato, switch machine guns with me! The rest of you continue bombing with grenade launchers!"
Yuan Shuai roared, quickly changed to a small machine gun, and fired wildly at the backs of the retreating Japanese and puppet troops.
Bobcat and Little Sweet Potato did not dare to be negligent. After giving up their grenade launchers, they each used machine guns to shoot.
Hu Dacai, Tie Xiaogang and Fu Yidao continued to bomb with grenade launchers.
For a moment, the retreating Japanese and puppet troops once again left behind many corpses.
Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops going away, Marshal Yuan could only issue a ceasefire order and rush to the battlefield with his men to clean up the bodies.
After all, there were too many trees, blocking the shooting line, and shooting further would only be a waste of ammunition.
What made Yuan Shuai happy was that there were a lot of ammunition and dry food on the many corpses left behind by the Japanese.
Yuan Shuai did not hesitate and continued to follow their previous method. He took away everything he could take away, and found a place to bury the things he couldn't take away, and buried some booby traps at the same time.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Wang Shuncheng asked while burying things.
"What else can we do? Keep chasing! Bury the booby traps and wait for the Japanese reinforcements to arrive. Then we will lead them to the minefield here and continue to kill some of them with the minefield. Then we will bring them within the range of the infantry guns! Don't leave the gun barrels alone!"...
In the distance, there were less than fifty retreating Japanese and puppet troops left.
A group of defeated soldiers ran onto the road in one breath.
Looking back and seeing that no one was catching up, the Japanese squadron leader was so tired that he leaned against a big tree and gasped for breath.
"Damn it! How come these British and Chinese troops still have more than a hundred people after so many battles? Shouldn't they have only more than a hundred people? There must be something wrong with the intelligence!"
The Japanese squadron leader became angrier the more he thought about it.
Because of the grenade launchers that bombarded this place before, there must be more than a hundred of them.
Including the artillery from the previous infantry artillery, the number is close to one hundred if not one hundred.
The total number of people on both sides is estimated to be more than two hundred.
Their intelligence showed that there were only a few dozen Chinese soldiers and the British army was a reinforced company.
But haven’t their Japanese soldiers and puppet troops been encircling and suppressing them? Why are there still so many people?
"Bagalu, keep retreating. Don't let the people behind catch up to you. Reinforcements are coming!"
After drinking several sips of water, the Japanese squadron leader continued to retreat with his men.
After retreating another two kilometers, they finally saw reinforcements coming to support them.
This time, there were two squadron leaders and a regiment of puppet troops.
The total force is nearly two thousand men.
The puppet army also had 6 90 mortars and more than artillery shells.
These artillerymen were in the middle of the team, together with the two squadrons of the Japanese.
Obviously, these devils just wanted to protect their mortar and use the mortar to solve the problem.
The two captains of the second and third squadrons responsible for support were stunned when they saw that there were only about twenty Japanese soldiers left in the first squadron and only about twenty puppet troops left.
"Baga, there are still so many people!"
"Even if there are so many people, we still have more than 6 people and mortars, which is enough to kill them all. Lead the way!"
The two squadron leaders were also very cunning. They did not let the twenty or so people from the first squadron go back. Instead, they let this squadron leader lead the way with the withdrawn puppet troops.
The first squadron leader was certainly not convinced, but now his army was in ruins and he was almost left alone. If he wanted to turn things around, he could only make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.
He could only lead the way with his men.
Not far ahead, Yuan Shuai had already reached a hillside.
"Damn it, why are there so many people here!"
"Two squadrons of Japanese soldiers and more than a thousand puppet troops!"
"There is another battalion in the puppet army!"
"Including the puppet army transport team, there are estimated to be more than 2,000 people!"
"Boss, there are six mortars in the puppet army. This battle is going to be difficult!"
Wang Shuncheng and his men were sweating and drooling.
"What's so difficult about fighting? That's my mortar. It's delivering supplies to me! Tie Xiaogang, notify the mortars to quickly move to point A and set up the artillery position! When you see the Japanese, after three rounds of attack, quickly retreat to point B, and after three rounds of attack, retreat to point C!"
"Everyone else, plant the mines! Quick!"
After the order was given, Tie Xiaogang quickly contacted Du Dafeng via radio.
Yuan Shuai had already arranged several artillery positions for Du Dafeng.
Du Dafeng received the news and quickly advanced to Point A with four mortars, set up the artillery positions and got ready.
Yuan Shuai quickly buried more than a dozen cluster mines here! All of them were the puppet army grenades that he had collected before.
After dealing with the minefield, the group quickly retreated more than 500 meters!
"Shuncheng, your people continue to bomb with grenade launchers, and my people will use machine guns! Fire as soon as you hear the gunshots. After four grenades, don't wait for my order, retreat immediately!"
"it is good!"
Wang Shuncheng quickly asked the team to prepare the grenade launcher and find a convenient position to launch the grenade.
After all, there are woods here, and using a grenade launcher requires avoiding many branches.
Soon, the first squadron leader in front, his men and the reinforcements behind him quickly approached the minefield.
The booby traps were not on the road, but on both sides of the road.
So the reinforcement team entered the middle of the minefield without triggering any booby traps.
However, at this time, more than a hundred puppet soldiers in front had entered the range of the grenade launcher.
The Japanese puppet troops in the front were only more than 400 meters away from Yuan Shuai.
"Fire!"
Yuan Shuai shouted in a low voice, and the six rifles opened fire almost at the same time.
Bullets whizzed towards the Japanese and puppet troops.
The captain of the first squadron of the Japanese troops who was at the front was riddled with bullets.
Many puppet soldiers and devils were shot to death.
"Bagayalu, there's an ambush, spread out and hide!"
The Japanese squadron leader behind him roared in anxiety.
"Mortars, ready!"
"Boom boom boom boom..."
At this moment, twelve grenades whizzed over.
Many puppet soldiers and devils were blown to pieces.
Some puppet soldiers triggered booby traps in panic.
More than a dozen cluster booby traps exploded one after another.
Plus twelve grenade launchers bombing continuously.
The puppet army was filled with smoke, shrapnel, and flying sand and gravel from the explosion, which seriously blocked the vision of the Japanese artillery behind them.
