Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2344: Hard fight against the Japanese cavalry!

Faced with this sudden crisis, Duanwu's brain worked rapidly. He knew very well that a head-on confrontation was not the best strategy and he had to find a way to buy time for the wounded and some of the people in Majiaji to escape.

"Less than two kilometers! Less than two kilometers!"

Duanwu repeated in a low voice, anxiously.

  Because he didn't know what he could do when the enemy was cavalry and mechanized troops less than two kilometers away?

But doing it is better than not doing it. At least they can buy some time.

The first thing to do is to deal with the cavalry.

And fortunately, they had such a forest to hide in, otherwise they would have been caught up by the Japanese cavalry in the Gobi Desert and everyone would have died.

So Duanwu immediately said to Long Qianyan, Ma Hu and others who had just arrived beside him: "Immediately order the troops to tie all the ropes to the trees and make tripwires. We must do it quickly."

"Yes!"

Li Ergou took the order. He was now a platoon leader of the guerrillas, in charge of more than 30 people, and was just the right person to do this.

At this time, Duanwu continued to issue orders: "Ma Shanpao, you take two platoons, bring all the grenades and explosives, and prepare to set up obstacles and traps on the road that the devils must pass. Remember, don't try to destroy them directly, but slow them down as much as possible to buy time for the wounded to retreat."

Upon hearing this, Ma Shanpao nodded, immediately took the order and gathered three platoons of soldiers to begin intensive preparations.

At the same time, Duanwu said to Ma Hu: "Master Ma, you take the people and protect the wounded and the baggage troops and retreat together. Now, in this environment, more people are useless."

Ma Hu refused on the spot and said, "Brother Ye, you take your men to cover the retreat of the baggage train, and I will hold back the Japanese. Besides, it was because we were not careful enough that the Japanese followed us. We must take responsibility."

Duanwu laughed and said, "It doesn't matter who goes to investigate. Since the Japs have set a trap for us, we won't return empty-handed. Let's retreat, Ma. Our guerrillas are better at this kind of positional warfare."

Ma Hu gritted his teeth, looked at his brothers behind him, and could only sigh heavily and leave with his men.

Liu Jinbiao blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. Why didn't I think of this at the time?"

Ma Hu said: "It's because the Japanese are too cunning, how can I blame you?"

Zhao Wuling said at this time: "Boss, I always feel that it is not fair to leave at this time. Brother Ye can be seen. He is not only a top figure, but also really has nothing to say to the brothers. If we leave like this, are we still human beings? It will not sound good if it gets out. "

Ma Hu looked back and said, "We are facing a powerful enemy now. There is no time for us to be humble. Brothers, listen to me. Let's withdraw from the battle and go to Stone City. There must be some devils in Stone City. Let's fight them and prevent them from attacking the guerrillas wholeheartedly. This way, we can also help Brother Ye. What do you think?"

Little Zhuge and Zhang Wenyuan nodded frequently, both thinking that the boss's strategy was good.

So Ma Hu and his men retreated, leaving less than three hundred guerrillas in the woods.

Under Duanwu's command, they were making intensive arrangements, while Duanwu himself led a platoon to meet Ma Pingan and others.

At this time, Ma Ping'an was leading the soldiers who were going for reconnaissance to run towards the woods, and less than three hundred meters behind them were the Japanese cavalry.

The Japanese cavalry galloped on their horses, the sound of their horses' hooves was deafening, and clouds of dust were raised, covering the sky and the sun.

Their faces were filled with extremely arrogant expressions, and the corners of their mouths were curled up with a cruel smile.

The leading Japanese officer was even more arrogant. He raised his command knife high and shouted loudly: "Chinese people, try your best to escape, but it's useless. I will catch up with you soon, hahahaha!"

Ma Pingan and several soldiers were quite angry when they heard the Japanese officer's not very standard Chinese. Although they couldn't hear clearly what the Japanese officer said, it was definitely not a good thing.

Of course, they didn't have time to pay attention to all this at the moment, because the Japanese's war horses ran very fast, and they were afraid that they would be caught up by the Japanese before they could reach the woods.

"Speed ​​up and don't look back!"

In desperation, Ma Ping'an could only order the other two guerrillas to speed up.

Although their physical strength had been greatly depleted and was close to their limit after running so fast, no one was willing to give up, and no one wanted to become a burden.

Seeing this, the Japanese cavalry became even more excited. They sped up and tried to surround Ma Pingan and others in one fell swoop.

However, at this critical moment, the reinforcements led by Duanwu suddenly emerged from the woods like a force of gods.

Duanwu stood at the front of the team, holding a machine gun, and fired at the Japanese soldiers three hundred meters away.

The Japanese officer who had just been showing off his power was thrown off his horse.

Under the leadership of Duanwu, other soldiers quickly formed an effective firepower network and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese cavalry.

For a time, the battlefield was filled with smoke, and the sounds of gunfire and shouting were endless.

The Japanese cavalry were caught off guard by this sudden attack. They began to panic, their formation became chaotic, and their horses were carrying the Japanese and running around everywhere.

The Japanese soldier tried desperately to pull the reins, but the warhorse he was riding did not obey his order. It jumped up with both hooves and threw the Japanese soldier off the horse.

Some war horses collided with each other in the chaos, neighing and wailing, and the Japanese soldiers on the horses were hit and had their heads broken and bleeding.

At this time, the Japanese cavalry was in chaos and could no longer launch an orderly charge.

Upon seeing this, the Japanese officers shouted loudly and regrouped.

But at this time, Duanwu's machine gun swept over again, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground on the spot.

"Bagayalu, shoot!"

The Japs finally reacted. They had not only sabers but also carbines in their hands.

The Japanese carbine is shorter than an ordinary rifle and has a shorter range, but within 300 meters, it is just as accurate.

Duanwu saw that his own troops were few in number and that they would not gain any advantage by fighting outside the woods, so he immediately ordered a retreat, saying, "Retreat to the woods, and be careful not to trip over the ropes."

"Yes!"

Ma Ping'an and others responded in unison, and then followed Duanwu in fighting and retreating amidst the hail of bullets.

At this point, combat experience is meaningless, and luck is everyone's only hope of survival.

Because there were so many bullets fired at each other, it was like a violent storm within just one or two hundred meters.

  Bathed in the rain of bullets are all the people on both the enemy and us!

Of course, this also includes the Dragon Boat Festival! .
