Chapter 79 New Calculations
Colonel Ono was determined to catch up with Wang Ping this time, and then smashed Wang Ping and the Independence Camp into pieces.
But he didn't know that Wang Ping was taking him on a road of no return at this time.
After running for nearly half an hour, even the well-trained Wang Ping was a little panting.
Confirm that the Japanese had not caught up, Wang Ping immediately ordered everyone to slow down their retreat, maintain their physical strength, and count the results of the battle.
Within two minutes, Chen Junyu, the second company guard squad leader, ran over. He was also out of breath at this time, and was so excited that he walked to Wang Ping for a long time without saying a word.
"Report... Report to the battalion commander, the harvest has been counted. It's great to follow you to fight. It only took a few minutes to severely damage a squadron of the Japanese and seize so much equipment!"
"Be more specific, I can only arrange the next battle after knowing the equipment situation!" Wang Ping and Chen Junyu asked back.
Chen Junyu took a deep breath and replied: "There are three crooked handles and two grenade launchers. As for the grenades, they were also carried by the Japanese on their backpacks, and they were all taken out by us, with a total of more than 80 grenades."
"I didn't let my comrades take the 38th hood. Except for the crooked handles, grenade launchers, and grenades, all the rest were bullets and grenades. Now, everyone is carrying at least three hundred bullets and three grenades!"
Wang Ping answered with satisfaction: "That is to say, we now have three mortars, thirty shells, eight grenade launchers, more than eighty grenades, and four crooked handles. The remaining people have one 38-large cover, and ammunition is sufficient!"
"Yes, that's it!" Chen Junyu answered immediately.
Wang Ping immediately made a decision: "The shells are too heavy, so they should be used up as soon as possible, so that three people can be freed up as riflesmen! It can also reduce the burden on comrades!"
"In this way, use a mortar to give the Japanese a cruel one. By the way, tell the Japanese that we have run in this direction. Don't chase the wrong direction, but chase the Japanese to the main force!"
After glanced at the surrounding terrain, Wang Ping began to give orders.
"The terrain here is flat, which can maximize the lethality of the shells. And if you look far, put the cannon on the ridge in front, and fire the cannons three or four miles away. After the cannon is fired, you will retreat, and there is no time for the Japanese to counterattack!"
After setting up three mortars and setting up four crooked handles, Wang Ping waited less than ten minutes before the forward company of the puppet troops entered Wang Ping's vision.
"The Japanese have become smarter and actually use the puppet army to lead the way. He is afraid that he will lose another infantry squadron!" Wang Ping said with a confident look on his face.
Then he changed his subject and continued, "But, with the puppet army, would he not be worried that these puppet army would join our Eighth Route Army and attack them in turn?"
Chen Junyu's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Battery Commander, do you already have a solution!"
Wang Ping nodded and replied: "Seeing the dozen or so Japanese behind the puppet army, they must be monitoring these puppet troops. After our shelling begins, these Japanese will definitely force the puppet army to rush towards us. As long as we kill the dozen or so Japanese behind the puppet army and then kill the officers in the puppet army, the remaining puppet army will definitely lose its will to resist!"
"At that time, we will rush out with four crooked hands. These puppet troops have no other way out except to surrender to us!"
"Of course, the entire battle still has to follow one principle, that is, fast, accurate and ruthless. After all, the main force of the Japanese is only five or six hundred meters away, and thirty mortar shells. Even if they can cause some chaos to the Japanese, they cannot stop them for too long."
"We must fight and then take the prisoners to evacuate the battlefield quickly! As for the disobedient prisoners, this is the battlefield. We don't have time to talk to them, so we don't have to show mercy and shoot them directly!"
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the puppet army of a forward company finally entered the best range of the independent battalion.
The main force of the Japanese also arrived at a distance of 700 or 800 meters from the artillery position.
"Architecturers fired!" Wang Ping ordered decisively.
Three gates aimed at the mortars of the two squadrons in front of the Japanese and roared quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the whistle of shells passing through the sky sounded in the air. Three groups of mortar shells directly hit the Japanese. Two shells directly hit the Japanese team and exploded, killing and injuring more than ten Japanese. One shell hit the side of the official road and exploded. Although it did not directly hit the Japanese, the flying shell fragments still blew up two or three Japanese.
As soon as the explosion sounded, the formation of the Japanese was rushing to the road became messy.
Especially the Japanese who were close to the explosion point either subconsciously lay on the ground or scattered to both sides of the official road.
At this time, the advantage of mortar shooting is exaggerated.
Many Japanese were still in panic, and three shells roared and smashed them.
Because the Japanese were divided very scattered, the wastelands on both sides of the official road and the official road were all Japanese, and three shells all hit the middle of the Japanese group. After the explosion, more than ten Japanese were killed or injured and were blown up!
When the three mortars continued to smash shells on the main Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers in the vanguard company immediately appeared a huge fighter plane in front of him.
The Eighth Route Army artillery position that fired the main force was on the ridge more than 100 meters ahead of him. The sergeant could even see the Eighth Route Army walking back and forth on the ridge.
If he could take down the artillery position of the Eighth Route Army and solve the crisis that the main force was facing now, the captain of the regiment would definitely look at him with admiration. In addition, the troops were now being expanded. With this military merit, the sergeant would definitely fall on him.
The sergeant, who was excited when he thought of it, did not expect the danger that he might encounter when he rashly attacked the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army. After all, he was just a small sergeant and an incomparable lower-level officer.
Since the decision had been made, the sergeant did not hesitate to force the puppet army to attack the Eighth Route Army positions for the position of the squad leader.
At first, the puppet army was unwilling to do so and lay on the ground motionless.
As the sergeant used a gun to shoot the two puppet troops in the head, no matter how unwilling the remaining puppet troops could only carry rifles and rush towards the Eighth Route Army artillery positions on the ridge.
Wang Ping, who planned to capture these puppet troops, had never let the guards shoot. When the puppet troops rushed to thirty meters away and the Japanese who were supervising the battle behind rushed to fifty meters away, Wang Ping finally nodded.
The soldier who was picked out by Wang Ping shouted directly to the puppet army because of his loud voice.
"The puppet army has heard it. We only fight the Japanese, not the puppet army, and those who don't want to die will immediately lie down!"
The puppet army, who reacted quickly, subconsciously lay on the ground, while the slow reaction also pulled the comrades next to him and lay on the ground.
In just two seconds, a company of puppet troops, except for seven or eight officers and veterans who were loyal to the Japanese, were still standing, and the others were all lying on the ground.
