I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Wei Dayong, Gao Daniu and a dozen others followed Hao Dabao, ran all the way amid the sound of gunfire, and quietly lurked at the edge of the Baitugou battlefield.

Wei Dayong took out a telescope and looked towards the battlefield in the west. He saw a large-scale Japanese transport convoy on a slightly sunken and gully-shaped road.

At this moment, there were about a thousand Japanese soldiers, relying on hundreds of mule and horse carts loaded with supplies, using two infantry guns, many Type 92 heavy machine guns, grenade launchers and other weapons in their hands to fight back against the attack from both sides of the road.

There, more than a hundred soldiers in gray uniforms, with thousands of ragged guerrillas, were lying on the ridge and firing at them.

However, their shooting skills were poor. Although they were numerous, occupied a favorable terrain, had sufficient ammunition and strong firepower, they still failed to gain any advantage.

……

After seeing the situation on the battlefield, Wei Dayong was not afraid at all and immediately ordered Gao Daniu:
"Daniu, you use your heavy machine gun to fire short bursts to cover me, and I will lead the others to charge down."

Gao Daniu quickly stopped him:
"Captain, how about you cover me and I'll go charge?"

Of course Wei Dayong would not agree.

He waved his hand, then, holding a Type 38 rifle, he led the way out from the bushes and sneaked towards the battlefield.

Seeing him take action, Gao Daniu could only hurriedly give orders:

"Shitou, Tianming, Qijun, hurry up and bring your men to follow and provide cover for the company commander!"

"Yes!"

Pei Shitou, the first squad leader of the second platoon, Sun Tianming, the second squad leader, and Qi Jun, the third squad leader, immediately agreed in unison, and then brought their men to follow Wei Dayong closely.

As soon as they left, Gao Daniu took two soldiers, looked around, found a commanding height, ran over, started setting up a heavy machine gun, and prepared to provide fire cover.

……

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers who were blocked were the Third Battalion of the Shimen Garrison Regiment.

Following the order of the regiment commander, Ritsuji Nagata, they escorted a large amount of food supplies to the front line of Huangping Town as quickly as possible.

However, before they arrived, they suddenly received a call from the rear saying that the 1st and 8th Divisions on the Huangping Town front had been destroyed.

Let them withdraw to Shimen City immediately.

At this moment, the battalion commander, Major Tatsusuke Fujikawa, was stunned.

He couldn't understand how the two Class A divisions of the Locust Army could be destroyed so quickly.

But no matter how confused you are, you have to respond immediately.

Retreating at full speed is his only option!

So, he immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat with all their supplies, like a frightened bird.

The soldiers were naturally very happy when they heard that they didn't have to move forward.

Everyone couldn't wait to turn the mule and horse carts around and prepare to run away.

As soldiers of the garrison, they don't have much fighting spirit.

However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as they turned around, enemies lying on the ridges on both sides attacked them.

The Type 38 bullets shot after another, forcing them to lie on the ground, screaming in pain.

Fortunately, Tatsusuke Fujikawa was also a veteran on the battlefield, and after the initial panic, he calmed down.

Taking advantage of the opponent's weakness of having no heavy weapons and few people, they launched a fierce attack and finally defeated the opponent.

Only then did the evacuation begin smoothly.

……

However, what Tatsusuke Fujikawa did not expect was that although the attack just now only killed and injured twenty or thirty of his men, this was just the beginning.

They had just retreated less than 3 kilometers to the east when the second wave of attacks came.

He could only attack again and repel the opponent.

In the following period of time, the third and fourth waves of attacks followed one after another.

Moreover, the number of opponents is increasing and their strength is getting stronger.

This made Fujikawa Tatsusuke gradually become anxious and frustrated.

After all, they were escorting too much food and supplies, so how could it be easy to evacuate quickly?
When they retreated to Baitugou, Fujikawa Tatsusuke discovered that the opponents seemed to be not just guerrillas, but also one or two hundred regular Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing gray uniforms!
At this point, Tatsusuke Fujikawa could only order his soldiers to attack with all their might.

While sternly ordering the telegraph operator in his brigade:

"Hurry up!

Send a telegram to the commander of the regiment to report that we are in Baitugou and are being blocked by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, making it difficult to evacuate quickly.

Request tactical guidance! "

……

Let’s talk about Su Zhen, the commander of the Northwest Shanxi District Guard Regiment.

After he accepted the task from Li Yunlong to lead the troops to attack the Japanese's transportation line, he and Political Commissar Fang Ding'an took his guard regiment and three supplementary regiments, a total of more than 3 people, and headed eastward to search for and attack the Japanese's baggage troops.

Because of the large number of troops on hand, they were gathered together and could easily be discovered by the Japanese, making it impossible to achieve the purpose of an ambush.

So he could only order the regiments to disperse.

They are active in a wide area about tens of miles long, centered on Niangzi Pass.

Once any signs of the Japanese transport troops were discovered, they would quickly pounce and ambush them.

If the enemy's forces are weak, they will quickly destroy the enemy and seize their baggage and supplies.

If the opponent is too strong, let the warriors fight a guerrilla war and continue to consume the opponent.

Anyway, they have plenty of weapons and ammunition.

……

Once a strategy is determined, he will execute it immediately.

Soon, gunshots were heard everywhere on the road which was dozens of miles long.

Whether it was the Japanese soldiers who were transporting supplies from west to east to the front line, or the Japanese soldiers who were transporting the wounded from east to west, they were all targets of their attack.

At first, they made very smooth progress. The terrain advantage of the ambush, coupled with sufficient troops and ammunition, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese's baggage troops.

But after the commander of the 1st Division ordered his cavalry regiment to cruise back and forth on the Zhengtai Road to protect the baggage train, Su Zhen and his men's results were much smaller.

Although the Japanese cavalry could not climb mountains, they were very mobile and the soldiers' marksmanship was also accurate.

However, the soldiers in Su Zhen's supplementary regiment were poorly trained and had poor marksmanship, so they were no match for the enemy.

After encountering setbacks, Su Zhen could only order his soldiers to continue to fight a more dispersed guerrilla warfare, and try to sleep during the day and attack at night.

Get entangled with the Japanese devils little by little.

……

Just like that, after the battle in Huangping Town ended, the fighting on Zhengtai Road did not stop, but instead became a mess.

More than 10,000 enemies and our own people fought desperately in countless small battlefields.

It’s just that our troops were in high spirits, while the Japanese soldiers were in despair and became more and more desperate as the battle went on.

……

At this moment, the sound of gunfire was extremely intense on the Baitugou battlefield.

The ones besieging Fujikawa's Battalion were the 3st Company of the nd Battalion of the Guard Regiment under Su Zhen and the st Battalion of the rd Regiment of Northwest Shanxi.

There are more than a thousand people in total.

Hu Shucheng, the commander of the 3st Battalion of the rd Supplementary Regiment, was lying on the hillside, carefully observing the battlefield situation. He could not help but frown and said to Yue Dapeng, the commander of the st Company of the nd Battalion of the Guard Regiment next to him:
"Captain Yue, the Japanese's counterattack force is still very strong.

Should we retreat a bit, let the Japanese continue to run eastward for a while, and then deal with them after dark?
By then, if other troops can arrive, the battle will be easier to fight."

Although he was the battalion commander and the other party was only a company commander, he still decisively gave the command to the other party.

After all, a few days ago, he was just a platoon leader in the guard regiment.

He was pulled out and appointed as the battalion commander only because Li Yunlong wanted to temporarily form a supplementary regiment.

In terms of combat experience and qualifications, he is not as good as Yue Dapeng. After hearing his suggestion, Yue Dapeng hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"Okay, let's do it!
Anyway, these little devils are carrying so much baggage, they can’t escape!”

After making up his mind, Yue Dapeng immediately prepared to order the troops to take turns to cover the retreat.

However, before he could give the order, someone suddenly shouted in surprise:

"Captain, look!

Our people are in the west!"

Yue Dapeng quickly picked up the telescope and saw a dozen soldiers in gray military uniforms rushing towards the Japanese on the road in the west.

They all held a Type 38 rifle, and their postures were agile and as powerful as tigers.

On the hillside in the distance, there was a heavy machine gun, spewing flames from time to time to protect them.

……

After seeing this, Yue Dapeng no longer talked about retreating and gave a loud order:

"Bugler, blow the charge immediately. Let's strike back at the Japs and get some ammunition first!"

Upon hearing his order, the bugler immediately picked up the trumpet at his waist and blew the inspiring charge.

As soon as the horn sounded, Yue Dapeng took out a box gun from his waist and led the way, shouting:

"Comrades, our reinforcements have arrived, follow me!
Let the little devils know how powerful we are!"

He took the lead in the charge, and with the encouragement of the charge, the morale of the soldiers, who had been somewhat demoralized by the bombardment of the Japanese infantry artillery, was instantly boosted.

He immediately jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers who were rushing up the mountain.

Shouting:

"Comrades, kill—"

The Japanese obviously did not expect that their opponent, who was originally at a disadvantage, would dare to suddenly counterattack. They were caught off guard and the team instantly fell into chaos.

After all, they are only second- and third-line garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of the logistical troops of the A-class division!

……

At this moment, the dozen or so soldiers who were rushing towards the Japanese devils desperately were of course the soldiers from the second platoon of the special operations company led by Wei Dayong.

Under the cover of Gao Danniu's heavy machine gun, they held their guns and fired as they rushed forward.

The Japanese soldiers who noticed them rushing towards them fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

These special operations company soldiers have experienced countless rigorous training and life-and-death battles. Although their marksmanship is not as good as that of the soldiers in Wang Xikui's sniper company, they are all good at it.

Although we are now firing during action, we can basically hit one enemy with one bullet.

However, some of the Japanese soldiers were quick to react and the bullets they shot at fell into the empty space with their swift steps.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers were instantly a little panicked.

They have never seen such a powerful opponent!
Some timid ones even couldn't help but shout in panic:

"Oh no! The Eighth Route Army is coming!"

"The Tubalu are so fierce! Run!"

"Mom! Help!"

……

And just at this moment, the sound of our army's charge and earth-shaking shouts of killing were heard on the ridges on both sides.

This made them even more panicked, and many of them couldn't help but wet their pants.

……

On the special operations company side, Wei Dayong is tall and has long legs. He is also a martial artist and can charge at an extremely fast speed.

Almost at the moment when the first company of the second battalion of the guard regiment blew the charge, he rushed into the crowd of Japanese devils and smashed his Type 38 rifle, which had run out of bullets and he had no time to reload, at a Japanese squad leader who was rushing towards him with his bayonet and bared his fangs.

Then he took out the twenty-shot box gun from his waist with both hands and fired left and right, firing wildly at the Japanese.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

Amid the dense gunfire, the dozen or so Japanese soldiers around him were all shot in the forehead and fell to the ground dead.

As he moved, Pei Shitou, Sun Tianming, Qi Jun and others behind him also rushed over and did the same thing, directly clearing out the Japanese devils in this small area.

When the Japanese soldiers in the distance saw this, they were all horrified. Their legs were shaking and their hands were trembling like sieves, as if they had seen a devil.

All the bullets fired from the gun flew into the sky.

While Wei Dayong was loading his box gun, he shouted an order:
"Pei Shitou, quickly take your men and pick up light machine guns for cover!
Sun Tianming, Qi Jun, take your people, clean up the battlefield immediately, take away all the guns and ammunition, and prepare to retreat!"

"Yes!"

The three of them yelled in unison.

Then he immediately got busy.

After a while, they got a few mules and horses, packed a large amount of guns and bullets, put them on the backs of the mules and horses, and rushed to evacuate to the east.

……

At this time, Wei Dayong had already stuffed his box gun, which had run out of bullets and had no time to reload, back to his waist, and found a Type 92 heavy machine gun mounted on a cart, and started firing wildly.

While fighting, he also shouted to Pei Shitou and others who were covering with him:

"Pei Shitou, you guys retreat too!"

"Yes!"

Pei Shitou agreed and immediately led his men, covering each other and fighting while retreating.

Wei Dayong stood alone at the pass, using a heavy machine gun to block hundreds of Japanese soldiers who tried to rush over. He beat them so hard that their faces turned pale. Everyone was thinking: Is this guy still human?
So cruel!

terrible!

The Japanese officers were waving their sabers and shouting:
“Bagya Road!
Hurry up, rush up and kill this damn bastard!"

It’s a pity that there are still few fools who want to die in front of the heavy machine gun.

Four or five Japanese soldiers who were not in a clear mind and rushed forward foolishly after hearing their shouting were beaten into bloody gourds. After that, no one rushed forward anymore.

Even the Japanese officers who were waving their sabers and shouting were killed on the spot by the bullets shot by Wei Dayong.

……

A few minutes later, Wei Dayong's heavy machine gun ran out of bullets.

Huang Fengshou, the soldier who served as his ammunition carrier, shouted:

"Captain, I'm going to pick up some bullets!"

Wei Dayong looked at the battle situation in the distance and shook his head:

"Forget it, the Japanese's crappy machine gun has a too slow firing rate, and the magazine only holds 30 rounds, which is far inferior to our general-purpose machine gun!
I'd rather kill with my bayonet!"

As he spoke, he jumped down from the cart, loaded his box gun with bullets and put it back on his waist.

He took out his bayonet and rushed towards the Japanese.

While rushing, he shouted:
"Fengshou, you retreat first, I'll kill a few more devils!"

Hearing this, Huang Fengshou suddenly became anxious and shouted:

"Captain, it's dangerous!"

Wei Dayong didn't care at all and said from a distance:

"The little devil who can kill me, Wei Dayong, hasn't been born yet!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Fengshou could only stomp his feet, pick up his Type 38 rifle, and retreat while firing to cover the enemy.
