Chapter 364 Gaojia Town Crisis 4
"Fuck it! Order all companies to quickly head to the second line of defense. Since the Japs dared to leave only a thousand people behind, I'm going to make them know what pain is."
There was no other choice, so Wu Mazi decided to eliminate the devils in front of him first.
The most important point is that he believed that even if the special forces could not defeat the Japanese, they could at least delay them for a little while.
Just one more hour, half an hour, and once the people have completely entered the forest, things will be much simpler.
Anyway, if we can't win, we can just give up Gaojia Town and retreat to Xianyaling for defense.
Now that things have come to this, Wu Mazi has no other choice but to do it.
A few kilometers away from the first line of defense, a battalion of Japanese soldiers were behind and the puppet army was in front, continuing to march towards Gaojia Town.
The Japanese captain, Lieutenant Colonel Goro Gana, hid in the back. He knew that the independent regiment had strong firepower, so he asked the puppet soldiers to block the bullets at the first opportunity.
He hid behind, fearing that a shell from the opposite side would send him back to his hometown in Japan.
The company commander of the third battalion stared at the direction from which the Japanese came, silently estimating the time in his mind.
Since there were no complete fortifications, he planned to fight for only five minutes and then lead his team to evacuate.
The soldiers are familiar with running away, so it is very difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to catch up with them. After all, their previous training in Xianyaling was not in vain.
80 meters.
The company commander decisively pulled the trigger, and a puppet soldier fell down.
The sound of the gunshot was an order, and the entire company opened fire instantly, using Type 99 light rifles, grenade launchers, Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers, firing hard at the heads of the puppet soldiers in front.
More than 200 puppet soldiers in the front row fell down in an instant like the wind blowing through a wheat field, and the rest of the puppet soldiers who were not hit lay directly on the ground.
They started to shoot at the soldiers of the company with the weapons in their hands. The quality of the puppet army was just so-so, and casualties were inevitable.
The soldiers of the independent regiment were famous for their excellent marksmanship. Even the regiment commander Ji Guangshun often said when he came to visit Xianyaling that the independent regiment was too rich and did not regard bullets as supplies at all, but just produced as much as they wanted.
Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
In three minutes, the front row of nearly 200 puppet troops chose to withdraw after suffering fifty or sixty casualties.
Of course the Japanese were not happy about this. Even the cowardly captain Ghana was clamoring to kill the Chinese in front of him.
He finally understood that there were only more than a hundred people ahead. If he didn't seize this opportunity to take revenge, he would be unworthy of his position as the captain.
The puppet soldiers had no choice but to retreat, but were escorted back and continued to be targets.
But this time, with the help of Japanese soldiers, the discomfort was incomparable to before.
As the Japanese troops joined the battlefield one after another, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the company commander chose to withdraw directly.
Boom boom boom!
After a black cloud of grenades, the soldiers of the first company withdrew from the battlefield and quickly rushed to the rear without even having time to clean up the bodies of their companions.
The Japanese soldiers who came to support were still chasing them, and it would be very difficult for them to take the bodies with them, so they would have to deal with it later.
In terms of casualties, the Japanese puppet army suffered much worse than the first company. More than 30 Japanese puppet soldiers were killed after more than 100 grenades were dropped.
This time, the artillery company of the 37th Battalion did not go out, and the battle lasted only about five minutes, so the results were pretty good.
"Bakayaro, where are the Chinese?"
Lieutenant Colonel Ghana, who had just arrived, looked at the miserable state of the Imperial Army warriors and puppet troops, and his face turned pale with anger.
The casualties were not great, but the problem is that with more than a hundred people killed or injured, does this count as a bad start?
"Captain, these Chinese have strong firepower. Twenty-three of our warriors were wounded, 23 were killed, and eight Chinese were killed."
The result was soon reported to Ghana, and his face instantly turned dark.
With such a huge casualty ratio, he didn't know whether to continue the pursuit.
Thinking about the brigade commander's order, Lieutenant Colonel Garner had no choice but to grit his teeth and order: "Koizumi Squadron, Ishino Squadron, make a detour to encircle them, and the rest of the squadrons will pursue head-on."
With the brigade commander putting pressure on him, he dared not not go up. His mission was to delay these Chinese and prevent them from returning to provide support.
If he didn't go, if the Chinese in the front ran away and caused heavy casualties to the brigade commander, he would have no good consequences when he returned.
The first company fought and retreated at the same time, trying to lure the Japanese puppet troops into the next ambush position. Unfortunately, Ghana was not stupid either. He retreated after chasing for a while, giving the 37th Battalion no chance to ambush.
"Captain, why don't you give chase? There aren't many Chinese ahead."
Captain Ishino asked doubtfully,
Revenge is their motto, and the captain's order made him feel a little at a loss.
"Mr. Ishino, Majia Village is ahead. I expect the Chinese to have an ambush there. I'll have the Imperial Army go up there first to test the waters."
"The Imperial Army will send two more teams to check if there are any Chinese civilians left in Majia Village. That way, we can proceed with our next plan."
Captain Ishino understood what Lieutenant Colonel Gana said and couldn't help but praise him:
"Your Excellency is truly wise. If there were Chinese civilians in the village, we wouldn't have to worry about these Chinese soldiers coming to our door."
Ghana was very pleased with Ishino's praise. Although he was afraid of death, he was still very good at seizing opportunities.
"Ishino-kun, you're going to work like this later..."
After Lieutenant Colonel Ghana was proud of himself, he began to make specific plans, and Ishino nodded repeatedly after listening to him.
Ten minutes later, the puppet soldiers moved forward tremblingly. With the Japanese soldiers behind them, they didn't even dare to resist or escape, so they could only pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to save their lives.
Unfortunately, the soldiers of the 37th Battalion could not hear their prayers. Faced with the puppet troops who were accomplices to the evil, they had no choice but to send them to hell with bullets.
Da da da!
Boom boom boom!
When the Japanese soldiers approached the ambush point of the 37th Battalion, dense bullets came.
This time Wu Mazi did not hold back, he used M60, Japanese Type , mortar, and grenade launcher.
As soon as the puppet army advanced 200 meters, more than of them fell down.
The 37th Battalion with full firepower is no joke. They are just a few puppet troops, no problem at all.
Seeing that his troops were about to be destroyed, the puppet army battalion commander quickly ordered an evacuation.
The puppet soldiers naturally did not dare to continue. After receiving the order, they wished they could take off their pants so that they could run faster.
Garner received the news from the front line and laughed triumphantly. He knew there was an ambush ahead.
This time, he did not let his soldiers go out, which saved manpower for the brigade.
As for how many puppet soldiers died, what does it have to do with him?
As long as he succeeds this time, how many puppet soldiers will he need when he returns?
On the other side, Captain Ishino, who led the team personally, took advantage of this opportunity and quickly rushed into Majia Village.
There was a lot of noise, but not a single Chinese civilian came out. This situation gave Captain Ishino a bad feeling.
The whole village was so quiet, so quiet that not even the sound of a chicken or duck could be heard.
