Chapter 852 Beat the devils!
Clear gunshots kept ringing from behind, and the whizzing bullets landed at their feet with a roar of death, sending smoke and dust flying everywhere.
More than fifty burly and tough little Japs were chasing after a group of guerrilla officers and soldiers who had been defeated from Huaiyin City.
This group of guerrilla officers and soldiers with torn uniforms and bloodstains all over their bodies were the brothers led by Liu Jinhu, the first battalion captain who broke out from Huaiyin City.
They desperately fought their way out of the heavy siege of the Japanese and puppet troops. Hundreds of brothers were killed or wounded, and now there are only more than a hundred left.
The Japanese who were chasing them were like wild dogs that ate meat but refused to spit out their bones. They bit them and refused to let go, insisting on annihilating them all.
"Puff!"
The guerrilla officers and soldiers were tired and hungry, and their legs were getting heavier and heavier as if they were filled with lead. Some wanted to turn around and fight back, but as soon as they turned around, bullets made holes in their bodies.
The ferocious little devil's marksmanship was precise, and he aimed almost accurately, constantly shooting at the fleeing guerrilla brothers.
When Liu Jinhu and others first broke out, they still had many brothers, but they were shot and killed by the Japanese many times along the way, and not many are left now.
They also thought about turning around and killing the pursuing Japs, but the Japs were very skillful in their tactics.
The guerrillas lay down and prepared to counterattack, but the Japanese also quickly fell down. They fired fierce firepower, and the suppressed guerrilla officers and soldiers could not even lift their heads, and they quickly divided their forces to outflank them.
The guerrilla officers and soldiers could neither run away nor fight. In order to survive, they had to get up and keep running.
Liu Jinhu and the others were consumed layer by layer by the Japanese like onions, and the brothers beside them were shot and fell one by one.
Although their knuckles cracked, they could only endure the pain and continue running, because once they stopped to rescue the shot brother, they would all be dead.
Liu Jinhu and the others ran away in a panic, while the Japs chased them all the way. The scattered corpses of the guerrilla officers and soldiers were also lying along the way.
Liu Jinhu felt aggrieved, but now the situation was stronger than others, and they were completely in a desperate situation.
At the beginning, they even left the road and ran into the fields, trying to disperse and break out.
However, there were many rivers and ditches near Huaiyin, which blocked their escape. Many brothers jumped into the water trying to escape.
The Japanese caught up from behind and fired randomly at the guerrilla brothers in the water. These brothers were all killed in the water before they could swim to the other side. Their blood stained the surface of the ditch and river red.
With no choice, Liu Jinhu and the others had to return to the road. After all, there was at least a way to run along the road. If they ran into the wilderness, they might be blocked by a ditch. That would be a really desperate situation.
Both the guerrilla officers and soldiers and the little devils were exhausted, but they all exerted their strength and no one was willing to admit defeat.
"Run...I can't run anymore..." Some brothers ran so hard that they vomited blood at the mouth. After running for a long time, their stomachs began to bleed.
"Hold on, the little devils are dying. They can't run anymore." Liu Jinhu supported the brother who was about to fall to the ground and dragged him away.
More and more people ran and fell down on the roadside, gasping for air. The Japanese who caught up with them stabbed them randomly, forming a sieve that leaked wind.
Most of the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas were malnourished and had limited physical strength due to their lack of food.
But the little devil had a balanced diet of polished rice and meat every day. He was tall and strong, and his endurance was naturally stronger than that of the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
These fifty or so little Japs were chasing and fighting fiercely all the way, and almost all their bullets were consumed. Looking at the guerrilla officers and soldiers in front of them who were supporting each other and still escaping mechanically, they even felt that the bullets were wasted.
Except for those who use people as living targets for practice, most of the Japanese are too lazy to shoot. Anyway, there are guerrilla officers and soldiers lying on the ground on the roadside from time to time, so just go up and finish the shot.
In the eyes of the Japanese infantry squad leader, the slowly moving guerrilla officers and soldiers in front are destined to become their victims. Now as long as they consume their last bit of strength, victory will be theirs.
The two sides just ran and chased each other along the road, stretching the team to a long distance. From time to time, the guerrilla officers and soldiers who fell behind were killed by bullets or bayonets fired from behind.
Neither the guerrilla officers and soldiers who were fleeing for their lives nor the Japanese infantry squad who were sure of victory noticed that in the mounds and grass on both sides of the road, there were more than 160 angry eyes staring at the road.
The commander of the Sharp Knife Company had a stern expression on his face. Seeing each of his friendly brothers being chased by Japanese soldiers from behind and stabbed to the ground with bayonets, he almost breathed fire from his eyes.
But the Japs have not yet entered the ambush circle, so he cannot rashly order to open fire, otherwise he will not be able to completely wipe out the Japs, but will fall into a passive position.
After all, in field battles, the strength of the Japs was obvious to all. Although he led the most elite company of the Third Guerrilla Group, he was not sure that he could face the Japs head-on in the field.
So we can only let the little devils into the ambush circle, and then make a surprise attack on them to completely annihilate them.
The brothers of the ambush Sharp Sword Company were all thinking silently in their hearts, encouraging Liu Jinhu and the others. As long as they ran another hundred meters, they would be safe.
But the exhausted Liu Jinhu and the others could no longer run. The short distance of one hundred meters seemed as long as centuries.
Seeing helplessly the friendly brothers falling to the ground and dying under the Japanese bayonets, the brothers who were in ambush felt anxious in their hearts.
But without the company commander's orders, they could only suppress their anger and not open fire without permission. After all, they were no longer the ragtag group they were before, but a well-disciplined company.
"beat!"
When he saw Liu Jinhu and the others finally running past the 100 meters and all the Japs entering the ambush circle, Dao Zi couldn't wait to give the order to attack.
"Bang bang bang——"
"Da da da - da da da -"
Rifles and machine guns both opened fire, and angry bullets rained down on the Japanese. Amid the screams of the Japanese, the bullets tore apart flesh and blood.
This infantry squad stared closely at Liu Jinhu and the others who were exhausted in front of them, but they did not expect to encounter a surprise attack.
"Hidden! Hidden!"
The panting Japanese sergeant shouted hoarsely in the face of the bullets flying around.
"puff!"
But soon a bullet entered the Jaap Sergeant's mouth, twisting his tongue to pieces, and he fell to the ground unwillingly.
The Japanese soldiers were exhausted after chasing them all the way. After being attacked by fire, they still showed good tactical qualities.
Although they were in a panic under the pursuit of bullets, they still quickly rushed to the ditch and pit beside the road, trying to fight back on the spot and stabilize the situation.
But what the Japs encountered was an elite company of sharp knives. How could the Japs organize an effective resistance?
"Boom-boom-boom!"
Five grenades hit the road with a sharp roar, and in the bursts of explosions and flames, the Japanese who were fighting back with guns were blown up.
The Sharp Knife Company is now equipped with a grenade squad. Although their shooting was not very accurate, the grenade smashed through and immediately destroyed the Japanese psychological defense line.
The Chinese troops who ambushed them actually had weapons such as grenade launchers. The remaining Japs had no intention of resisting and fled away one after another amid the roars of the Japs officers.
The Japs are masters who bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encounter weak troops, they will be extremely arrogant. Hundreds of people dare to chase thousands of people to fight. However, once they encounter strong troops, they will immediately retreat and never hesitate to fight.
"Puff puff......"
