Chapter 554 An Unexpected Ending (Second)

"Battalion Commander, there is something wrong with the Chenji stronghold that you asked us to monitor!" The reconnaissance squad leader reported while panting, apparently he had traveled a lot just now.

"One hour ago, the Japanese and puppet troops there suddenly abandoned their stronghold and marched towards the county town. Except for some necessary weapons and ammunition, all other materials were blown up. The marching speed was very fast!"

After hearing this, Deng Jingye couldn't sit still. He didn't expect the Japanese and puppet troops to recruit a strong man to cut off his wrists at the last moment of the battle. He quickly spread out the map and analyzed: "The Japanese army in Wangdu County already knows our existence and wants to stop the loss temporarily!"

"Abandoning the stronghold and shrinking the troops to Wangdu County can not only protect the county, but also prevent their limited troops from being broken by us one by one, killing two birds with one stone!"

"Pass me an order: the troops stop resting immediately, bring all the weapons and equipment, and set off in 5 minutes..."

Wen Xun, the commander of the fourth company, ran over and asked nervously, "Commander, you are not the Japanese and puppet troops who want to take us to ambush back to the city now, are you?"

Deng Jingye pointed to the map and analyzed: "The Chenji stronghold is very far away from the county seat!"

"We are stuck between the Chenji stronghold and the county seat. The troops are starting now. There is at least an [-]% chance of intercepting them!"

"Conquering Wangdu County is our ultimate goal!"

"The more Japanese and puppet troops in the city, the more difficult it will be for us to conquer Wangdu County!"

"So we must do everything we can to keep these devils out of the city, gather and annihilate them!"

"But it's daytime now..." The fourth company commander also wanted to fight, but when he thought of the various dangers he might face in fighting the devils during the day, he instantly became guilty, for fear that the battalion commander would rashly give orders out of impulse and let the troops If you are in danger, please remind me immediately.

Deng Jingye shook his head: "What's the matter during the day? As long as the tactics are used well, you can fight devils during the day!"

"There's an old saying: starve to death the timid, starve to death the bold!"

"As long as we move fast enough, even if the Japanese and puppet troops temporarily call for air support, we won't be able to make it in time!"

"Besides, there are only more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops in the Chenji stronghold. It is impossible for such a force to be equipped with a radio station... Even if they are attacked, they have no chance to send a telegram for help, and they can only wait to die!"

On the road ten kilometers north of Wangdu County, more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops, carrying heavy machine guns and mortars, and dragging seven or eight carts full of ammunition, rushed towards the county town.

In Baogudi one kilometer ahead, more than 100 soldiers from the Fourth Company were panting. Deng Jingye squatted on the edge of Baogudi, holding a telescope to observe the road.

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops just arrived one kilometer away! Let's go out now, just in time to collide with them!" The fourth company commander reminded with a box cannon.

"The artillery company set up all six mortars and aimed them at the road!" Deng Jingye was not the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense, so he put down the binoculars and began to give orders.

At the same time, I replaced the box cannon in my hand with a crooked handle, stared at the road and continued to order: "Others attack the little devil face to face with me!"

"The submachine gun and the light machine gun lead the way, the riflemen follow, and the grenadiers line up..."

"The artillerymen are ready to shoot... As soon as the two sides exchange fire, they will fire... Where there are more Japanese and puppet troops, they will bomb... They must not be gathered together!"

"Comrades, follow me..."

As soon as Deng Jingye led more than 100 people out for 200 meters, the little devils walking on the road noticed their presence.

The troops didn't fire a single shot, and they didn't even see the enemy's shadow. They just abandoned their stronghold like a bereaved dog, and they would get angry if they were individuals.

The squadron leader was no exception. From the moment he evacuated the stronghold, he was full of anger.

Facing the Eighth Route Army that suddenly appeared in front of him, he was not only not worried, but looked forward to it, thinking that the challenge god was blessing him.

Knowing that he was wronged in the stronghold, he specially recruited more than 100 Eighth Route Army troops to compensate him.

He has more than 100 Japanese in his hand, well-equipped.

According to the usual practice, it is no problem to surprise the Eighth Route Army with two to three times as many troops on the field battlefield.

Destroy the group of enemies in front of you, absolutely within reach!
Without any hesitation, he took out the bastard box and waved forward to order: "The Imperial Association Army, the first and second squads, come with me and wipe out the Eighth Route Army in front..."

"Da da da……"

Deng Jingye preemptively opened fire when he was nearly 300 meters away from the devils.

The six mortars were his biggest trump card for inflicting heavy damage on the devils. If the distance between the enemy and us was too close, with the skills of the gunners of the artillery company, they would definitely accidentally injure their own people.

Fired at a distance of 300 meters, the six mortars can just fire six or seven rounds before the distance between the two sides is shortened to 100 meters.

45 shells hit the past, even if the hit rate is only [-]% to [-]%, the Japanese and puppet troops rushing head-on will kill and injure dozens of people.

If you are lucky enough, a shell hits the little devil just in time. Maybe the Japanese and puppet troops will be blown up and lose their combat effectiveness before the two sides make contact.

The leader of the devil squadron didn't know that Deng Jingye was hiding his strength.

Seeing that the opponent was still shooting more than 300 meters away, a mocking sneer appeared on his face immediately, thinking that the opponent was nothing more than that.

Although the effective range of light machine guns is far more than 300 meters, because of the limited vision of people, they are still shooting in motion, and it is not bad to be able to hit targets more than 100 meters away.

The Eighth Route Army on the opposite side fired at a position of more than 300 meters, which shows that they don't know how to fight at all, or they are too timid to shoot in a panic...

No matter what the situation is, it means that the opponent's combat power is far lower than what he imagined. When the two sides really fight, he can end the battle with the least cost.

He raised the bastard box and yelled again: "Warriors... The Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is very poor. We can take them down in one assault, and kill them... Boom, boom..."

As a result, before he finished shouting, the sound of shell explosions rang in his ears, and when he turned around, he saw a dozen of his subordinates being blown up.

Some people didn't die on the spot, the wounds from the shell fragments were like a burst flood, blood continued to flow out, and there were heart-piercing screams from their mouths, it was as miserable as it could be.

The squadron leader was stunned, the scene in front of him was beyond his expectation.

More than 100 Eighth Route Army were equipped with six mortars, which means that I greatly underestimated the opponent's strength.

They were not afraid to shoot more than 300 meters away, let alone low combat effectiveness, but to provide the artillery with a signal to fire.

"Boom boom boom..."

The rate of fire of the mortar was very fast, and before the squadron leader could react from the shock, the second round of shells had already dropped.

The splashing fire took away the lives of a dozen subordinates again.

The squadron leader quickly accelerated the assault speed, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up...as long as you fight with the Eighth Route Army, their shells will be useless, and we can use our best bayonets to destroy them and stop the battle... ...Kill it..."

 The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
