Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 75 Quick, accurate, ruthless

Ono frowned and thought for a full minute before deciding: "Change the battle plan, send troops immediately, and march to reinforce the Guanliang stronghold!"

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "The captain is calm. It will take three hours to march from the county to the Guanliang stronghold. And judging from the powerful attack power shown by the Eighth Route Army in front, the Guanliang stronghold will definitely not last for too long. We We are worried that after we arrive at the Guanliang stronghold, the Eighth Route Army has already taken the stronghold Taozhiyaoyao, so we will make this trip in vain, and it will also give the Eighth Route Army in Shuiquan Village more time to prepare!"

"No! It's not that easy to take down the Guanliang stronghold!" Ono replied firmly while shaking his head.

"Don't forget that the Guanliang stronghold has a gun tower, and the Eighth Route Army is only equipped with mortars, so it will definitely not be so easy to capture it. As long as we rush to kill it, there is an [-]% chance that we will collide with the Eighth Route Army!"

"Order the troops, only bring mortars and heavy machine guns, march quickly to reinforce the Guanliang stronghold, hurry up."

Ono's analysis was correct. It took nearly an hour for the Independent Battalion to take down the stronghold.

In addition to the time for cleaning the battlefield, when the independent battalion began to retreat, a squadron of Japanese reinforcements had already reached the official road less than one kilometer away from the stronghold.Fortunately, Wang Ping still had the minimum vigilance, and arranged many people around to enter the police.

Otherwise, the devils who came suddenly would definitely catch the independent battalion by surprise.

At that time, a serious injury will definitely be unavoidable.If you are unlucky, it is possible to be surrounded by devils and wipe out here.

After listening to the subordinates' report on the enemy's situation, everyone's face changed instantly.They are all aware of the crisis they are facing now, and the four words of life and death are not an exaggeration.

Zhang Yunshan first broke through the increasingly depressing atmosphere around him, and took the initiative to ask for a fight: "Battle Commander, you lead everyone to retreat immediately, leave me thirty soldiers, I will cover it, and make sure to block at least one small devil!"

"No!" Wang Ping resolutely refused.

"Wait for you to block the devil for an hour, you and the thirty fighters will definitely die. I, Wang Ping, will never let him go. Everyone has to go back!"

"Impossible!" This was everyone's first thought after hearing Wang Ping's answer.

Devils are field troops, fast.The independent battalion carried a large amount of supplies and equipment, and the speed was slow.Coupled with the fact that the two troops were only less than one kilometer apart, as long as the Japanese army pursued them with all their strength, they would be able to catch up within two hours.At that time, not to mention retreating completely, half of the people who can break out from under the noses of the devils are lucky.

Regardless of what everyone thought, Wang Ping directly ordered: "Zhang Yunshan, you are the leader, take the troops and retreat immediately. We don't have a cart, remember to take more small roads, and rush to the destination as soon as possible to meet the instructor!"

"Artillery platoon, the guard squad of your two companies, and the grenadier squad stay with me, and I will stop the devils."

As soon as Wang Ping finished talking, the two company commanders wanted to object, but before he could say anything, Wang Ping interrupted: "I have more experience in blocking devils than you. Besides, I have cannons and bombs in my hand." There is also a machine gun, the devil will definitely not be able to do anything to me, you can rest assured in terms of safety, and guarantee to retreat. I am the battalion commander, I have the final say, follow the order, hurry up and retreat!"

In less than 5 minutes, the Independence Battalion withdrew from the Japanese army's Guanliang stronghold and started on its way.

Looking at the dozens of subordinates left in front of him, Wang Ping was not polite and gave orders directly.

"Comrades, I plan to teach the devils a lesson in this stronghold, and let them not be so close to us! Platoon leader Zhang Bing Zhang, I will give you [-] rounds of shells, and two grenadier squads are also under your command. Throwing grenade and five grenades. Just set up the artillery behind the stronghold, and when a squadron of the devil's forward enters the stronghold, fire immediately, and shoot all the shells and grenades into the stronghold in the shortest time!"

"The others lie in ambush behind the stronghold with me, and rush in with me as soon as the shelling is over! I have strengthened ten pistols for you, and the crooked handle and the pistol will hit the head later, and use the fiercest firepower to kill the devils who are still alive in the stronghold. Others Get grenades ready, throw them wherever there are living devils, and try to kill the devils' forward squadron!"

Zhang Bing looked suspicious and asked back: "Battalion Commander, we only have about fifty people, and we can really eat up an infantry squadron of devils. There are nearly 180 devils, and they are all elite and well-equipped!"

Wang Ping replied noncommittally: "The devils are indeed very powerful. If confronted head-on, a squadron of elite infantry can easily defeat a squadron of us. However, it is not impossible for us to take out a squadron of them."

"As long as our entire attack is fast, accurate, and ruthless, and we don't give the devils time to react, we will be sure to eat them!"

"Also, after the devil's striker arrives, he will definitely enter the stronghold to search for survivors, and find out our strength by the way. That's our best chance to surprise the devil, and catch them off guard!"

Panting and driving for three hours, I finally saw the Guanliang stronghold. The gun tower that should have stood in the middle of the stronghold had become a pile of ruins. What's more, there was no movement in the direction of the stronghold.

The more than 100 devils in the forward area were immediately covered with a layer of invisibility, subconsciously thinking that the Eighth Route Army had captured the stronghold, and retreated with the capture.

With gun towers, heavy machine guns, and even mortars on one's own side, the Eighth Route Army, which is known for its backward equipment, can capture it in a short period of time, which shows how powerful the Eighth Route Army that attacked the Guanliang stronghold has.

Sure enough, they rushed all the way to the outside of the stronghold, but there was still no movement in the stronghold that still smelled of gunpowder smoke.

The leader of the leading squadron frowned, and directly ordered: "Go into the stronghold immediately and see if there are any living imperial warriors. Try to find out from them the true strength of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise we will chase blindly and be easily ambushed by the Eighth Route Army." !"

More than 100 devils, after receiving the order, without the slightest hesitation, all poured into the stronghold that was blown into ruins, and then looked through the corpses of devils scattered throughout the stronghold.

"Woooooo!" Suddenly, the scream of artillery shells across the sky sounded, three artillery shells and six grenades fell from the sky, directly hitting the stronghold and exploding.

The devils who were completely exposed in the stronghold were caught off guard, and more than 30 people were killed and injured on the spot.

"Baga, it's bombardment. The Eighth Route Army hasn't left yet. Everyone, take cover and avoid the artillery fire!" The squadron leaders and squad leaders scattered in the middle of the team all looked pale with shock, lying down in the surrounding places where they could hide , while commanding loudly.

At this time, the second round of shells came again, and many devils who reacted slowly were directly blown over.

The devils who reacted quickly and were already lying on the ground were also affected. After being bombed, they turned into corpses and remained motionless.

When three mortars and six grenade launchers fired shells at the Japanese stronghold one after another, the Japanese army's bad luck had just begun.

Many places in the stronghold are safe in the eyes of the devils, but they are actually not safe.

Before the devils arrived at the stronghold, Wang Ping directly placed seven or eight booby traps in these places.

The devils who rushed towards these places in a panic, even though the booby traps laid by Wang Ping were not concealed, they still didn't find out.

Therefore, when the shells and grenades exploded, these booby traps were also detonated by them!

A total of eight booby traps killed at least twenty devils!
For a while, the devils in the stronghold panicked even more.There is no safe place to hide from the artillery fire in the stronghold, so they subconsciously thought of the outside of the stronghold, and then rushed towards the entrance of the stronghold against the shells constantly falling from their heads!
