Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2228 Reconnaissance aircraft locked on!

With the explosion of grenade after grenade, the Japanese soldiers were blown away or killed one after another, and the corpses were scattered all over the forest path which was less than two meters wide.

The Japanese suffered heavy casualties at this time, and even the Japanese officer who had been shouting before was seriously injured.

At this moment of his death, he remembered Colonel Sato's words and immediately retreated if he encountered an ambush by the guerrillas.

But it was obviously too late. His troops totaled more than sixty people, and there were probably less than twenty of them who could still stand.

Most of these people were killed by machine guns and hand grenades.

In other words, there must be an excellent machine gunner in the guerrillas, otherwise his troops would not have suffered so many casualties.

So he used up his last bit of strength and shouted loudly: "Retreat, retreat quickly."

The Japanese soldiers felt as if they had been granted amnesty when they heard the officer's order, and one of them even wanted to take the officer away with him out of kindness.

But as soon as he approached the Japanese officer, a machine gun bullet blew his head off.

When the other Japanese soldiers saw this, no one cared about the seriously injured Japanese officer. They fled desperately towards the woods behind them, wishing their parents had given them a few more legs so they could not run fast enough.

But the Japanese soldiers running behind continued to fall one after another, and were all killed on the spot by a machine gun that fired continuously.

The one who fired the shot was naturally Duanwu. Whether it was sweeping or firing in bursts, Duanwu's shooting skills were extremely accurate.

In addition, he had two machine guns to use alternately, which meant that he never stopped firing the machine guns in this battle.

In other words, Duanwu alone suppressed all the Japanese soldiers, leaving them no chance to even fire a shot, and created opportunities for the grenadiers to throw bombs, severely damaging the Japanese infantry squad in one fell swoop.

Of course, Duanwu also thought about directly annihilating all the Japanese devils, but unfortunately, Ma Sanpao and Long Qianyan were not with him. Otherwise, as long as one of them was there, they could ambush the Japanese devils on their retreat route and definitely kill all the Japanese troops.

But even so, this wave of Duanwu was a sure win, and the Japanese were defeated without any decent counterattack. So only one guerrilla was scratched by a stray bullet, and the rest were unharmed.

"You, you, you stand guard, and the rest of you quickly clean up the battlefield."

When the Japanese disappeared without a trace, Duanwu quickly ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.

Every bullet is precious these days.

In the past, Duanwu would not even look at it for a second. But now, even the Japanese's rifle bullets have become treasures.

Especially the Japanese grenades, when there is no artillery or insufficient artillery shells, these are lethal weapons.

So the guerrilla fighters stripped the devils of everything except their clothes.

"Forget the rifle. Take the bolt off it."

Duanwu saw that the soldiers were carrying too many guns, which would affect their march.

However, Duanwu could not leave the weapon to the Japanese, so he had to remove the bolt so that even if the Japanese picked up the gun, they would not be able to use it immediately.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution, because the Japanese can still equip the gun with a bolt after picking it up.

The best way is of course to smash it.

But Duanwu had no time, because he had to evacuate immediately, otherwise the Japanese reconnaissance planes would definitely lock on to them again. So Duanwu quickly evacuated with the soldiers after cleaning up the battlefield and headed towards Yingzuigou.

Not long after Duanwu and others left, less than five minutes later, the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over.

Naturally, he came to investigate after receiving news from the Japanese on the ground.

In the previous battle, the Japanese squad's communications soldier was not killed. After escaping with seven or eight Japanese soldiers, he immediately sent a telegram to the old Japanese soldier Sato, saying that they had encountered an attack by guerrillas, the squad leader had been killed, and only eight people from the entire squad had escaped.

The old devil Sato was naturally very angry, but at the same time, he smelled the scent of the guerrillas' highest commander - Ye Xuwen.

Because the Japanese signalman said that the other side did not have many people, but their firepower was very strong. They started fighting as soon as they came up, and they had a very powerful machine gunner who could suppress all of them with one machine gun.

When the old devil Sato heard this, he wondered who else could it be but the mysterious guerrilla commander?

So he didn't have time to be angry, and quickly ordered the reconnaissance plane of the team that had been monitoring Long Qianyan to rush to the scene and find the people who ambushed the Japanese team.

It’s a pity that when the Japanese reconnaissance plane arrived, the ambush team had disappeared.

After receiving the news, the old devil Sato ordered the reconnaissance plane to find this guerrilla squad at all costs, because among these people there was an extremely important target, that is, the guerrillas' supreme commander.

In addition, the main force of Sato's army gave up chasing Ma Sanpao's team and rushed towards the direction where Duanwu disappeared.

Although the Japanese reconnaissance plane lost the enemy's trace, Sato felt that Ye Xuwen would never abandon his large troops and break out with only himself and dozens of people.

So he was certain that Ye Xuwen, also known as Duanwu, must have gone northwest.

So Sato and two reconnaissance planes headed in this direction to look for Duanwu's whereabouts.

At the same time, Duanwu also received a report from Long Qianyan and Ma Sanpao, saying that the Japanese planes suddenly stopped following them and headed towards Duanwu's direction.

Moreover, the main force of the Japanese was also marching rapidly in the direction where Duanwu was.

Duanwu smiled slightly after receiving the report, because things seemed to have become a little simpler.

The Japanese planes were chasing him, and the main force of the Japanese were chasing him, so at this time the others were not only safe, but also in a completely hidden state.

In other words, his ambush plan could be implemented.

So Duanwu immediately ordered Ma Sanpao and Long Qianyan to rush to Yingzuigou to gather the troops, and then set up an ambush in Yingzuigou, and he would lure the Japanese into Yingzuigou.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes allowed them to watch from the sky, watching how the guerrillas beat the Imperial Japanese Army, which they were most proud of, to a pulp.

Soon, the Japanese reconnaissance plane found the traces of Duanwu and others again. They were resting in a sparse forest, and there seemed to be wounded. Seven or eight people were put on stretchers. When they heard the sound of the plane engine, they immediately stood up and continued to run deep into the jungle.

The Japanese pilot was very excited and shouted into the headset: "I found them. They have many wounded, so they are not moving very fast. They are moving to the northwest."

The Japanese in another reconnaissance plane also said, "Yes, I saw it too. They have at least seven seriously injured soldiers, carried on stretchers. They are dead this time. Your troops are no more than two kilometers away from you, Lord Sato. Lord Sato, you will catch up with them soon!"
