Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2181 The last ray of light is shattered!

No matter how angry the old devil Sato was, it was of no use as his troops were gradually falling into chaos.

The originally orderly retreat turned into a mass escape. In the jungle, discarded helmets, backpacks and other military supplies were scattered everywhere.

But the only thing the Japanese devils always carried with them was guns.

The Japanese had very strict military discipline. It was understandable that they lost their helmets, backpacks and other items, but if they lost their guns, they would only die if they returned.

The Japs fled in panic, and very few Japs troops stayed behind to launch a counterattack.

Ma Ping'an and his men chased closely behind at a leisurely pace, picking up any lone Japanese soldiers and killing them on the spot.

At this time, Ma Ping'an did not dare to get too close to the Japanese.

Previously, he tried to eat up the last Japanese squad, but encountered a crazy counterattack from the other side. In addition, there were Japanese reinforcements, and he was almost surrounded by the Japanese.

There were too many Japanese devils and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong. If they had not been in a hurry to retreat, Ma Ping'an would probably not have found this opportunity.

So Ma Ping'an quickly changed his strategy. He no longer got too close to the Japanese, but stayed about fifty meters away from them and attacked the ones who fell behind.

The Japanese soldiers who fell behind were killed one by one, and their screams as they died became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Japs panicked and didn't even dare to turn back to stop the attack.

Because the majority of the troops are running, whoever falls behind will die.

And if you want to counterattack, you need to have a chance. If the enemy is more than 50 meters away from you, if it is more than an infantry squad, the enemy will turn around and run away, and you will be alone in counterattacking.

And won't you retreat? You still have to retreat.

By that time, if you are a small group of troops separated from the main force, there is only one way out, and that is death.

So the Japanese simply gave up blocking us, so let's see who can run faster!

If old devil Sato knew what his men were thinking at this moment, he would probably be so angry that his nose would be crooked.

Is this still his elite division?

Of course, perhaps the most important point is that his troops suffered heavy casualties in previous battles, and some artillery and baggage troops were incorporated into the infantry battalion.

Compared with the infantry, the combat effectiveness of these devils is indeed much weaker.

In addition, there were many traps in the jungle, which made the Japanese soldiers even more panicked. In the end, even the old Japanese soldier Sato was unable to control the situation.

The Japanese soldiers, who had two infantry battalions, were defeated by more than two hundred guerrillas. If Sato told this to General Takeda, even if he was a noble, General Takeda would slap him in the face and say, "You have brought disgrace to the empire."

But there was nothing the old devil Sato could do. His guerrillas did not fight me head-on, but ran into the jungle to fight a jungle war with me.

Of course, the Japanese are also very experienced in jungle warfare.

But unfortunately, even in the jungle, the guerrillas did not engage the Japanese head-on, but instead used traps to torture them, making them terrified.

So how could this battle be fought? There was no way to fight. Sato could only flee with his remaining troops.

Thanks to the Japanese suicide squads setting suicidal traps in front of them, the Japanese finally saw the last ray of hope.

When the setting sun cast a long shadow in the jungle, the Japanese were less than one kilometer away from the entrance of Hupigou.

The old Japanese soldier Sato was overjoyed because at this point there were no traps left and the pursuers behind him did not dare to chase him anymore. They were finally saved.

"Hahaha! We finally got out."

Old devil Sato laughed loudly, and old devil Takahashi also looked happy.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, a burst of intensive machine gun fire was heard, and seven or eight of the Japanese vanguard troops fell instantly. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The Japanese officer of the vanguard unit shouted, drew his sword and was about to order his troops to counterattack, but at this moment, two machine gun bullets pierced his chest directly.

The Japanese officer was blown away by the huge penetrating power of the machine gun bullets.

When the other Japanese soldiers saw this, they looked at each other and immediately launched a brave charge forward.

Obviously, there was only one section left. As long as they could avoid the enemy's strafing, victory would be within their reach. As for the enemy who ambushed them, they could let the people behind them deal with it.

So the Japanese in front fled in a swarm, and the Japanese behind, when they rushed up, were still shot by Duanwu's machine gun and fled in a panic.

At this moment, the old Japanese soldiers Sato and Takahashi also arrived at Duanwu's ambush site on horseback, but they became furious when they saw that the Japanese soldiers in front of them were being shot at by the enemy and did not fight back but just ran away.

"Damn it! How can these imperial troops look like the Imperial Japanese Army? Go and destroy the enemy's machine guns. They only have one machine gun, and you can't even hear that?"

"Hi!"

A Japanese officer next to Sato took the order and immediately intercepted a Japanese squad carrying machine guns and grenade launchers and heading towards Duanwu's direction.

Duanwu caught a glimpse of a figure swaying on the east side and knew that the Japanese had finally reacted.

He immediately stopped shooting, reloaded bullets into the machine gun, and changed his position, about three meters away from his previous position, hiding behind a big tree.

The Japanese knew that the other side only had one person, so the Japanese officer in charge rushed forward with his men.

But the sound of the machine gun suddenly stopped, which surprised him. He thought: Could it be that the enemy knew that he was coming with his men and fled?

The devil said proudly: "You ran fast, otherwise I would have skinned you alive if I caught you, hahahaha!"

chug! Chuchuchu!

Before the Japanese officer finished his words, a burst of rapid machine gun fire rang out again.

Bullets came raining down like a torrential rain. The Japanese officer leading the team was the first to be hit. He was hit by several bullets and flew backwards as if hit by a hammer. When he landed, a large cloud of dust was raised.

After the Japanese officer fell to the ground, he vomited blood and stared in disbelief.

His body twitched involuntarily, but after struggling for a few times, he stopped moving.

The Japanese soldiers following behind him were not spared either. In this sudden shooting, seven or eight Japanese soldiers were shot one after another.

Their bodies shook involuntarily under the impact of the bullets, just like they were breakdancing.

The other Japanese soldiers were frightened by the sudden machine gun fire and retreated in panic.

Their steps were messy, they stumbled and looked in a mess.

But there were also Japanese soldiers who tried to fight back, but as long as one of them raised his gun, the machine gun bullets would find him in the next second.

After one or two Japanese soldiers died, the other Japanese soldiers realized that the enemy would prioritize shooting those who dared to fight back.

So they ran away in a swarm.

Of course, the Japanese won’t really run away.

This is an order issued by Colonel Sato. If they run back like this, they will definitely be shot.

They retreated to find cover and then search for the whereabouts of the enemy.

There is only one enemy and one machine gun, and anyone who has received military training knows this.

  So what do they have to fear when facing an enemy? As long as they keep their footing, they think they can definitely defeat the enemy! .
