The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 8 Fighting the Transport Squadron ([-])

... This is the third time that Captain Kotani, the squadron leader of the Japanese army, has transported supplies on the Xiaolingou mountain road.

Since this transportation route is sufficiently concealed, and the mountain road itself is very fast and convenient, in Captain Xiaogu's opinion, this is an excellent transportation route.

The most important thing is that you can take advantage of the absolute concealment of this transportation route to avoid the harassment of the annoying Eighth Route Army.

Captain Xiaogu heard that, compared to the transportation route he chose, the other transportation routes to Ping'an County would always be harassed and attacked by the Eighth Route Army every time there was a material transportation.

As for the Xiaolingou mountain road transportation route he chose, the first two times were exceptionally smooth without any problems.

So for this transportation, Captain Xiaogu was as confident as the previous two times, thinking that nothing would go wrong in the middle.

The vanguard, who was about 200 meters ahead of the team, has already sent a signal with semaphore that everything is normal on the road ahead and it is safe to pass.

After receiving the news, Captain Xiaogu nodded and directed the team to move on.

At this time, as we moved forward, the original fields on the left side of the mountain road gradually disappeared, and a weir pond of indeterminate depth appeared, which was used by nearby villagers to store water.

The water in the Yantang is very clear. When passing by here the first two times, Captain Xiaogu was still thinking about whether he could take some time to bring fishing gear to fish.

When commanding the team to move on, looking at the rippling water surface of the weir pond on the left side of the mountain road, Captain Xiaogu's attention was almost completely attracted. In his hometown, before he joined the war, there was such a similar line Weir pond.

"Unfortunately, this is not my hometown after all!" Captain Xiaogu murmured.

The gunshots sounded suddenly from the hillside on the right. At that time, Lieutenant Xiaogu and the transport team just arrived at the middle of the weir pond on the left.

There is an ambush...

Just as this idea was born in Lieutenant Xiaogu's mind, the sudden solitary gunshot came out, followed by firepower pouring down like raindrops.

The opponent in the ambush looked like an expert in command. He divided the firepower of the machine gun into four or five points, and interweaved it from different angles on the hillside to form a firepower net with almost no dead ends.

The bunkers of the machine gun fortifications were so ingeniously constructed that Lieutenant Xiao Gu couldn't even determine the specific location of the opponent's machine gun fortifications in the first place.

After the first round of shooting, dozens of people fell to the right of the transport team caught off guard.

Captain Xiaogu quickly recovered from the trance of missing his hometown, quickly pulled out his command knife, and shouted to command the troops to quickly build counterattack fortifications.

All the Japanese soldiers were well-trained. In contrast, the reaction of the accompanying puppet army was a bit slower. When encountering a surprise attack, the Japanese soldiers did not panic. They quickly used the transported vehicles as cover and fought against the enemy on the slope. shoot at.

Then, rounds of black, long-handled iron lumps began to fall down on the hillside.

Captain Xiaogu immediately recognized the thing, and he almost screamed and ordered: "Grenade! Conceal, conceal——"

The violent attack was followed by the explosion of the grenade.

The five machine gun fire points were still roaring crazily.

Lieutenant Xiaogu realized that the situation was not good. On the transportation route that he thought was absolutely hidden, such a powerful enemy was ambushed ahead of time.

Judging from the opponent's firepower configuration, Captain Xiaogu can confirm that this must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Unlike his imagination, where ammunition was scarce, the Eighth Route Army troops that ambushed him were extremely powerful.

The attacks were even more violent, wave after wave, without giving him any chance to breathe.

"Machine guns! Build machine gun fortifications immediately!"

"Cover grenadier team fire!"

……

Captain Kotani, who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, immediately issued a combat order.

As an outstanding talent of the Imperial Military Academy, Captain Kotani has been on the battlefield many times and has rich on-the-spot command experience.

Although the battle has only lasted less than 5 minutes so far.

But he still keenly discovered the weakness of this enemy army.

The opponent's firepower was only rapid at first, but he was taken aback. After all, he was just a transport squadron, and he didn't carry heavy weapons this time.

But it didn't take long for the opponent's firepower to gradually weaken, especially the fortifications of the machine guns. The original continuous sudden fire came to the back and started to burst.

Even the constantly thrown grenades gradually died down.

Obviously, the opponent's ammunition is not enough.

This is very in line with the characteristics of the Eighth Route Army's lack of ammunition.

So far, although the transport squadron has suffered more than one-third of the casualties, Captain Xiaogu did not panic. In his opinion, as long as he has completed the formation of machine guns and grenadiers, once his superior firepower opens its fangs, the ambush The opponent must be doomed.

The devil's three machine gun teams, six Taisho 11-year light machine guns, and three grenadier teams with six grenadiers immediately launched a counterattack.

But the machine gun fire didn't have time to last for too long. It seemed that an enemy locked on the machine gunner on the hillside, and the machine gunners who were manipulating the machine gun to shoot were shot down by the opponent.

The gunner in the grenadier position is no exception.

"cover--"

Seeing this scene, Captain Xiaogu roared an order, and several rifle teams immediately launched a counterattack towards the enemy on the hillside.

A roar came from the hillside: "Throw all the grenades down!"

Captain Xiaogu didn't understand Chinese, but he could guess that it must be an order from the other side's commander.

Dozens of grenades suddenly swayed and fell from the hillside at different angles.

Captain Xiaogu hadn't had time to shout for cover.

The voice on the hillside roared again: "All charge, blow the charge!"

beep beep-

The high-pitched and urgent sound of the trumpet spread from the hillside and echoed over the Xiaolingou mountainous area.

Amidst the violent explosion of dozens of grenades flying down, gunpowder smoke almost completely enveloped the middle section of Xiaolingou Mountain Road Yantang.

Under the leadership of Kong Jie, the soldiers of the independent regiment on the hillside descended like tigers. Under the cover of machine gun fortifications and the firepower of the shooting team, they rushed down the hillside quickly and handed over with the Japanese and puppet troops of the transport team.

Captain Xiaogu was dumbfounded, he never expected the enemy to be so crazy, and he fought so desperately when he came up, all his plans fell through.

Before his machine gun and grenadier fortifications had time to deploy, the enemy was so impatient to launch a surprise attack.

Fierce hand-to-hand combat is on the verge of breaking out.

The superior firepower of the Japanese transport squadron was temporarily useless.

On the hillside, Kong Jie, who was leading the charge, saw that he was about to rush to the bottom of the hillside. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of the devil holding his command saber high.

"gun!"

Taking the rifle from a soldier beside him, Kong Jie quickly stopped, knelt down and fired the gun, loading, holding the gun, aiming, and shooting all in one go.

boom--

The bullets spinning at high speed flew out.

Lieutenant Xiao Gu, who was commanding with a command knife tens of meters away, was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground on the spot.

Life is passing by quickly, and the unwilling Captain Xiaogu finally locked his wide-open eyes in the direction of Yantang not far away... Farewell, my hometown!
