Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 565 Are They Suspected Soldiers? (Second update!)
An infantry squadron is equipped with a radio station and follows the squadron leader.

Therefore, the Zhoutang Town stronghold in front of me has no other way of contacting the outside world except for the phone.

Before the battle started, the telephone line from the stronghold to Linfen City was cut off by Wang Ping's men.

"Papa..." Several gunshots suddenly sounded outside the stronghold, and the two puppet sentries guarding the gate of the stronghold were caught off guard and fell down at the gate.

The on-duty machine gunner on the turret of the stronghold reacted quickly, and fired in less than five seconds. The swishing bullets flew to the position where the gun was fired just now like rain.

"What's going on, where to shoot!" The puppet company commander asked the machine gunner who was holding fire as soon as he rushed into the gun tower.

"In the bushes in front of the gun tower, two sentries at the gate were killed. As soon as I fired, their gunfire stopped, as if they had withdrawn!"

"Could it be the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment? Impossible, how could the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment run to the plains to die in the mountainous area swept by the Taijun!" The company commander frowned and said to himself.

"Papa papa!" As soon as he finished speaking, several gunshots came.

A puppet soldier next to him stuck his head out from the crenel of the gun tower and looked out. He was shot in the chest and fell to the crenel, looking like he was about to fall from the gun tower.

"They didn't leave, the machine guns continued to fire!" The company commander's face changed and he shouted.

"Notify the others, enter the position immediately, we are likely to be targeted by the remnants of the new regiment!"

"Also, call the county seat and tell us that we have been attacked by the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment, and ask them to radio the main force of the garrison that Zhoucun mopped up, and return to the artillery building immediately!"

Just as the guard behind him was about to give an order, the deputy company commander immediately stopped him.

"Company commander calm down, don't call the county seat!"

"We are still not sure that those who shot at us just now are the main force of the remnant of the Xinyi Regiment. If we make a mistake, they are just suspected troops sent by the remnant of the Xinyi Regiment, then we have been fooled, and the consequences of being fooled are definitely not something we can afford Got it!"

The company commander was not an idiot, so he immediately realized: "You are worried that the remnants of the Xinyi regiment will attack the west. After we transfer the main force back, their main force hiding in the mountains can take the opportunity to escape. In this case, there is no responsibility to eliminate the remnants of the Xinyi regiment." It's all on us. If one is bad, the imperial army may kill us!"

"The company commander is wise!" The deputy company commander replied flatteringly.

The company commander enjoyed the compliments from his subordinates, but at this moment, the gunfire rang out again.This time, the machine gunner who fired directly was killed.

You know, the machine gunner is hiding behind the firing holes.In this case, he was shot in the head by the opponent, which shows how powerful the opponent's marksmanship is. It is not an exaggeration to describe the opponent as a sharpshooter.

After taking a breath, the company commander immediately made a decision.

"No matter what, we can't just wait here, otherwise the casualties will increase!"

"We must find a way to find out whether the opponent is the main force of the remnants of the new regiment. If so, contact the county immediately, let the main force come back to help, and encircle them. If not, we will send troops directly to kill them."

"No matter which of the two situations is, we will make meritorious deeds!"

"Doing nothing here, losing dozens of people for nothing, and not even seeing the shadow of the Eighth Route Army. Let the imperial army know, and we can't escape the punishment of the imperial army. Therefore, in order not to be punished, and to be able to make meritorious service, We have to be proactive and figure out what's out there."

"The company commander is wise!" The deputy company commander continued to compliment.

The company commander nodded usefully and then began to give orders: "As soon as you go out, confirm whether the opponent outside the stronghold is the main force of the remnants of the new regiment or their suspects. After going out, as long as you find something is wrong, return immediately."

"Others enter the position, provide fire cover for the first row at any time, and take them back!"

The first platoon leader was very reluctant, but after hearing the order to withdraw at any time, he could only accept the order reluctantly.Then, with more than 30 subordinates, they fumbled towards the bushes tens of meters away.

Soon, the first row disappeared from the company commander's sight.

Just as the company commander was staring at the pitch-black bushes outside and getting more and more nervous, a burst of sparse gunshots suddenly came.

Because the gunfire was very noisy and there was no machine gun fire, the company commander was not sure of the opponent's identity.

He could only stare at the bushes outside the stronghold with his big eyes, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

Finally, what he feared happened.

In a row of more than 30 people, there are only more than 20 people left, rushing out of the bushes like bereaved dogs.

When there were still more than 40 meters away from the stronghold, a group of the Eighth Route Army rushed out, a total of seventy or eighty people, shooting at the same time as they rushed, and people in the row ahead kept falling on the retreat road.

The company commander's reaction speed was very fast, and he started to give orders as soon as he frowned!

"It's the main force of the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment. Contact the county immediately and ask for reinforcements!"

"Others shoot immediately, cover the firepower and return to the stronghold in a row!"

A total of five light machine guns equipped in the company and those just brought out from the arsenal opened fire quickly, and the intensive firepower stopped the eighth route army chasing behind at once.

The platoon that suffered heavy losses immediately seized the opportunity and ran desperately to the gate of the stronghold.

The Eighth Route Army chasing after them reacted very quickly. Although they were blocked by machine guns, the guns in their hands were not vegetarians.

Machine guns and rifles fired together, and the sudden intensive firepower killed and wounded several puppet soldiers who were fleeing ahead.

At this moment, the guard who contacted the county seat rushed over with an anxious expression on his face: "Company commander, we can't contact the county seat. It seems that the telephone line was cut off by the Eighth Route Army!"

"What?" The company commander was frightened.

"Our phone line to contact the county was cut off by the Eighth Route Army. It must be that the Eighth Route Army wants to take down our stronghold and cut off our contact with the county in advance, so that we have no reinforcements!" The deputy company commander replied anxiously.

The company commander finally came to his senses, and ordered anxiously: "The machine guns continue to fire, suppress the firepower of the Eighth Route Army, and the platoon will retreat!"

"The Eighth Route Army wants to capture the stronghold, and we have no reinforcements. We must rely on ourselves to hold on to the stronghold in a short time. Every soldier is very important to us. If we can withdraw one more, we will withdraw one more!"

The company commander, who was anxious to get the troops back, only confirmed that the first platoon leader was in the middle of the team, and then asked someone to open the gate of the stronghold, and let the remaining seventeen or eight people in the first row enter the stronghold.

"Platoon Leader Wang, the company commander asked you to lead people into the second floor of the stronghold to defend immediately. It is still empty. The Eighth Route Army has already begun to attack. They want to capture our stronghold!" A platoon leader said.
