The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1799: Grab-the-Pack Style

"We now have a total of ten machine guns. The Japanese carriages are arranged from the back to the front, and our machine guns are arranged from right to left, one by one.

  It doesn't matter how many Japs we kill, but how many horses pull their carts down!

After shooting down the first wave, immediately shoot at the carriages in front. Now you can shoot freely.

It looks like the Japs have more than thirty horse-drawn carriages. We have to knock down at least half of them!

Do you understand?" Chu Tian stated his combat intentions, and the soldiers responded with a deep "I understand!"

If one wants to slow down the Japanese attack on Shuiquan Town or slow down the Japanese advance, attacking horses is more important than attacking people.

  As an old soldier, Hu Lielie also understood this principle, but what he was thinking in his heart was that if these ten light machine guns suddenly opened fire on the Japanese army, many Japanese devils would be killed or wounded. That would be better than killing horses, right?

But then he thought again that he was wrong.

The Japanese were injured, but the carriage was still there.

After all, they couldn't kill too many Japanese devils. The Japanese devils could load the wounded on the carriages and continue to attack Shuiquan Town.

It seems that this scholar has thought it through quite thoroughly.

As the soldiers were waiting with their light machine guns set up, the Japanese troops on the road were getting closer and closer.

But at this time, they saw some Japanese soldiers quickened their pace and directly got ahead of the Japanese army brigade.

  What do the devils mean by this?

After all, they were all veterans and they immediately understood that the Japanese army saw that their scouts were chasing the Chinese troops that were harassing them, so they sent out another group of scouts.

They saw that the Japanese army was jogging forward on the road, obviously trying to keep a certain distance from the Japanese army group.

As a vanguard, you naturally have to keep a distance from the main force. Otherwise, how can you be called a vanguard?

This was a situation that they, including Chu Tian, ​​had not anticipated at the beginning, and now they were in trouble.

  Because those scouts were jogging forward while looking around. The hill they were on was actually close to the road, and there was only one hill nearby that stood out. If people ran further forward, the possibility of discovering them would be too great!

As the company commander, Chu Tian naturally thought of this problem.

"Keep all your machine guns where they are and don't move. Keep your shooting targets the same. Leave those Japs coming over to me! You shoot when we shoot." Chu Tian said.

What does Chu Tian mean? This time, not only is he talking nonsense, but other veterans also think this is nonsense. I'll leave those little devils to you. There must be nearly 20 of them, right?

But at this time Chu Tian moved, and he retreated from the formation with his messenger.

When the hill blocked the view of the Japanese and puppet troops on the road, the two of them went down the hill.

After a while, when the machine gunner looked back, he saw Chu Tian and his messenger had already hidden on the side of the mountainside.

During this time, the Japanese and puppet troops on the road were naturally closer, only about 200 meters away. As for the newly sent scouts by the Japanese army, they were already at the closest point to the hill, which was only about 100 meters away.

Chu Tian brought machine gunners this time, and all of them were veterans.

Because they were all veterans with rich experience, they just took the time to stick grass on their hats and collars to create some simple camouflage.

It’s just that their disguise was done too hastily and was definitely not perfect, and the Japanese army was so close to them that it was only a matter of time before they were discovered.

At this time, Chu Tian and his messenger fired gunshots. In fact, Chu Tian didn't know whether the Japanese scouts had discovered their ambush on the mountain, but he couldn't wait any longer. If they were too close to the enemy, they would kill more enemies, but their risk would also increase in the same proportion.

Chu Tian and his companions used 20-shot box cannons to attack Japanese scouts, using short bursts.

Two Japanese soldiers were shot and fell in the sudden gunfire.

The Japanese army had been fighting with the Chinese army for so long, how could they not distinguish the sound of the box gun? How could they not know the effective range of the box gun?

  When they realized that the Chinese army was shooting at them with box guns, they felt humiliated by the Chinese army. Did they dare to shoot at the mighty Imperial Japanese Army at such a close distance?

But just when they discovered Chu Tian's position, the light machine guns of the veterans on the top of the mountain suddenly started firing "bang bang bang".

  The sound of a dozen light machine guns firing together was much louder than that of a box cannon. Suddenly, it was like a hurricane suddenly blew up on the hill!

When the Japanese scouts heard the gunshots, they all lay down instinctively. They subconsciously thought that the rain of bullets from the machine gun was directed at them.

But when they found that the bullets were whizzing past their flanks and not hitting them, they subconsciously looked back at their own large force, only to see that their own large force had been knocked to the ground by the rapid hail of bullets!

When they turned around and shot towards the mountain, two more scouts in their group were shot and lay on the ground.

  At this point, the remaining Japanese scouts realized that the ones using box guns halfway up the mountain were just attracting them, but the real killers were the machine guns on the top of the mountain!

But at this moment, Chu Tian, ​​who was halfway up the mountain, had already shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

When Chu Tian shouted like this, Hou Kanshan on the top of the mountain also shouted: "Retreat!"

  The machine gunners above were firing bullets like rain, and their ears were filled with the sound of gunfire. If Hou Kanshan had not followed Chu Tian's shouting, some soldiers might not have been able to hear it because they were concentrating on shooting!

When Hou Kanshan shouted, everyone heard it. Hu Lielie felt regretful because he had only fired three short shots in total!

But even though he thought so, it did not stop him from immediately putting away his gun and retreating!

  The sound of other machine guns was the same. Everyone put away their guns and retreated. The rain of gunfire that was like a hurricane was like a flash of lightning that crackled between heaven and earth. It disappeared in an instant!

The sound of machine guns disappeared, and the sound of continuous firing from box guns halfway up the mountain became particularly clear in the wilderness.

The machine gun fire stopped as soon as it was said to stop, because the machine gunners were all veterans and they were too close to the enemy. If they didn't turn around and run now, they would probably never have to run again!

What does this situation resemble? To use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a street robber who snatches your bag when you are not paying attention and then runs away. You are not as fast as him and you cannot catch up with him.

  This is Chu Tian’s idea!

The sound of the box cannon halfway up the mountain was of course fired by Chu Tian and his messenger.

Everyone is retreating, so someone has to cover the rest.

When Chu Tian emptied a magazine, his machine gunners ran away from him like the wind, carrying their machine guns.

Chu Tian changed another magazine. This time he did not aim carefully. He fired another burst of bullets in the direction of the Japanese scouts. Then he shrank back and said, "Retreat!" He and his messenger turned around and ran away.

Chu Tian has his own thoughts.

  He was the rear guard, but he really had no intention of holding on for another minute or two. All he required of himself was, "I just have to run to the back. This way, when we go back, no one can blame me!"

The way he thought about it really seemed like he didn't have the awareness of being a company commander.

But the thing is, he was right to think so.

  He and the messenger had just turned around and ran down the hillside when the Japanese army's bullets arrived. The place where they had been hiding was already filled with the sound of bullets hitting the ground!

If the firing of their light machine guns together just now was like a hurricane, then the Japanese army's counterattack was like the sudden raindrops hitting the dry and cracked land on a day after a long drought, and the huge raindrops directly kicked up the dust on the ground!

Just when Chu Tian and his group ran out about fifty meters, they heard the whistling sound of a grenade launcher from behind, and then there was a "booming" sound on the hill.

  Run too slow? If you run too slow, your life will be left here!

After all, the Japanese soldiers were not pedestrians on the street. When their bags were robbed and they could not catch up, they could only cry out in vain.

The Japanese army is a ferocious beast. You pierce it with an awl until it bleeds! Do you think it will chase you? Do you think it can catch up with you?
