Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 23 Chapter 023, Continue to Chase

On the battlefield, four Japanese soldiers actually formed a three-in-one formation. That is, three Japanese soldiers stood back to back in a triangle, and there was an empty space between them, with another Japanese soldier filling in the middle, ready to provide support at any time.

The Eighth Route Army seemed to have seen such a formation before and were not surprised at all. They raised their bayonets to hold them back and prevented them from attacking at will.

Then, a soldier on the periphery leaned over and picked up a duck egg-sized pebble from the ground and held it in his hand. Well, it wasn't just one person doing this, but more than a dozen soldiers were doing this.

"Kill them!" Someone shouted, and then a whooshing sound was heard. A dozen pebbles passed through the middle of their comrades and hit the Japanese in the middle.

"Damn it..." The Japanese didn't dare to move. They were hit and screamed, and they couldn't hold the rifle in their hands steadily.

At this moment, a red light flickered, followed by a diamond-shaped spear head, which pierced the Japanese soldier surrounded in the middle. The red tassel spear was still very useful in hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, most of the soldiers of the 3rd Company were holding Type 3 rifles, which were just captured. The rifles were the same length, and coupled with their own height and long arms, the soldiers of the rd Company still had an advantage in bayonet fighting.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the longer the gun or bayonet, the better. But when the training level is not good, longer weapons can give soldiers more confidence.

How could the soldiers, who were now more confident, let their comrades kill the enemy alone? When the red tassel spear was stabbing the devil in the middle, the other soldiers cooperated in pairs, some blocking, some stabbing, and directly stabbed the other three devils to death on the spot.

While the soldiers were surrounding and killing several Japanese devils, Captain Huang was not idle either. He followed with the rest of the 3rd Company.

Following along was a guerrilla machine gun group, which was Lowe's group, while the rest of the guerrillas had already reached the top of the mountain.

Captain Huang came over, but he did not participate in the battle to kill several devils. Instead, he directed the soldiers to find shelter on the spot, and the machine gun group to choose a place to set up positions. He was not stupid, there were people behind the devils, so he had to be on guard.

The enemy he was guarding against was the squadron led by Kato Nobuo. To be exact, the enemy he was with was his signalman, medical soldier, orderly, etc., exactly 10 people.

At this time, Kato regretted sending Kawashima's team out to make a detour. Yes, he regretted it, because at this time he was under great pressure!
The few people from Kishida who had just been annihilated were only about 100 meters away from him. At such a close distance, he saw the battle clearly.

He saw that there were about 40 Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him. At this time, there were more than 30 soldiers attacking. As for the soldiers around him...if it was an ordinary enemy, he would not be afraid, and he would have the confidence to lead these few people to fight back. However, he really did not dare to fight the fighting power shown by the enemy just now.

Who said the Japanese were not afraid of death? Everyone is afraid of death, it is the instinct of animals. Especially those who have become officers, they have gradually gotten rid of the brainwashing education of militarism.

"Captain, why don't we shoot?" At this time, the voice of the squadron adjutant sounded in Kato's ears.

"Shoot? You can shoot now!" Kato didn't order to shoot just now because there were still his own soldiers fighting hand-to-hand, and shooting could easily cause accidental injuries. But now, you can...

"Lie down, find cover, the machine gun group opens fire to suppress!" Almost at the same time, Captain Huang gave the order. Swish... the sound rang out, and the soldiers who had just completed the assassination of the devils lay down on the spot, and then looked for suitable cover to hide their bodies.

Da da da... Da da da... Lao Qi and Lowe, with their two Czech light machine guns, also launched suppressive fire at the Japanese.

In a very short time, the battlefield once again became a battle environment with gunfire flying back and forth. However, this time, the 3rd Company was much more relaxed, and even had a number of kills.

"Baga...where is that pig Kawashima now?" Kato stood in front of the cliff and found a pit on the cliff to hide his body, cursing Kawashima who he had sent out.

The Kawashima whom he cursed was now leading his 41 soldiers and marching from the ridge above their heads towards the hill where the guerrillas were.

"Captain, the situation has changed!" At this time, a scout discovered that the battle situation at the foot of the mountain had changed, and quickly informed Kawashima Daisuke.

"What?" Daisuke Kawashima asked impatiently as they were about to climb another hill and reach the hill where the Eighth Route Army's commanding point was located.

"Our squadron headquarters has been attacked, and the squadron leader is resisting!" the scout said, then lowered his head, ready to be slapped.

"Baga..." Nobita Kawashima was really frightened and didn't even bother to slap someone. Instead, he looked up at the top of the mountain which he was about to reach, feeling extremely unwilling.

Kawashima was a small team leader, and he had a good idea of ​​the situation. As long as he led his men to the top of the hill, he could attack the high ground where the Eighth Route Army was located from a distance of more than 100 meters. If he took down the high ground in front, he could occupy the commanding heights of the entire battlefield, and victory would be in sight! However, his own team leader was being chased and beaten, so was there any point in killing the high ground in front of him?

Forcing himself to calm down, Kawashima suddenly thought of the story of Wei-wei rescue Zhao in ancient Chinese wisdom. Although all kinds of propaganda say that China is an inferior nation, Kawashima knows that China is not an inferior nation, but an extremely excellent nation.

Moreover, his Kawashima family has Chinese blood. During the Song Dynasty, his family married a man who had borrowed blood from the Song Dynasty...

Thinking of the strategy of attacking Wei to save Zhao, Kawashima immediately gave the order: "Morita, Kurosawa, you two teams, immediately climb to the top and launch an attack on the commanding heights! Everyone else, follow me, we will go to support the squadron leader!"

Soon, the 42 Japanese soldiers were divided into two groups. 26 of them climbed up the hill, ready to attack the guerrillas, and the remaining Japanese soldiers, led by Kawashima, went to the edge of the cliff.

Kawashima was not stupid. He knew that if he returned along the same route, his captain would not be able to hold out for that long. So, he simply came to the edge of the cliff and attacked the Eighth Route Army in the valley to the west from a high position. Moreover, by doing this, he had the advantage of height.

Kawashima's actions did not initially alert the guerrillas, because Kawashima and his men used the terrain to move in a roundabout way and avoid being seen.

However, when they avoided the sheltered hilltop and headed towards the edge of the cliff, they were spotted by the guerrillas.
