Chapter 607: The Japs Stop Chasing
Chapter 607: The Japs Stop Chasing
After firing this round of artillery shells, Jack quickly ordered the team to retreat quickly, dragging the infantry gun.
Because each of his four infantry guns only carried a box of five shells. After the shells were used up, there were no shells left to take away, only the infantry guns.
A group of three people was responsible for one infantry gun, with two people pulling in the front and one pushing in the back, moving quickly forward.
When the puppet army saw that there were no artillery shells, they continued to assemble mortars, adjusted the direction and angle, and bombarded forward.
Unfortunately, by this time, Jack and others had already run several hundred meters away with the infantry gun!
Because they had already used knives to cut down the small trees and weeds on the retreat route of the four mortars in the woods, and even used engineering shovels to fill in some potholes on the road, speeding up the retreat.
The Japanese squadron leader behind him was so angry when he saw that his squadron had suffered heavy casualties that his face was iron and veins were bulging.
Originally, his squadron had more than 200 people.
Several people had been killed or injured in the explosion before, and now these four infantry guns and five rounds of bombing had caused more than a hundred casualties.
Although only half of the people were killed, there were more than fifty injured.
Moreover, these wounded soldiers were almost unable to continue the pursuit and could only stay behind to treat their wounds.
He even had to leave at least one squad of soldiers here to treat the wounded.
He was so angry that he shouted loudly to rescue the wounded, rushed to the artillery company commander in front of him, and kicked the puppet army's artillery company commander to the ground.
"Bakayalo, you are a bunch of good-for-nothings. I told you to fire, so why haven't you fired yet?"
After shouting, he pulled the trigger of the gun in his right hand, killing a mortar ammunition handler, and continued shouting.
"This will be your fate if you keep delaying!"
"Hi Yi!"
The puppet army company commander was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out, and he nodded quickly.
The puppet army battalion commander in front also hurried over, sat on the puppet army company commander, slapped him several times in a row, and cursed him angrily.
"Damn it, remember this next time, don't delay firing!"
After the fight, he stood up and explained to the Japanese squadron leader with a nod and a bow.
"Please calm down, my lord. Please calm down, this kind of situation will never happen again!"
"Damn it! These Chinese and British troops are too cunning. Arrange a reconnaissance squad to scout forward, and the others quickly disperse in the woods to wait to avoid being bombarded by concentrated artillery shells!"
The cunning Japanese squadron leader learned his lesson this time and did not continue the pursuit with the main force. Instead, he ordered the puppet army's reconnaissance team to continue the pursuit. After pushing the team forward more than 200 meters, he quickly dispersed in the woods, leaving behind a flying squadron of soldiers to rescue the wounded.
In this way, even if the people in front encounter artillery bombardment, not too many people will be killed.
Even if they encountered artillery bombardment here, not many people would be killed because the team dispersed quickly.
At the same time, he also hoped that the team on the other side would quickly turn back after hearing the artillery fire here.
However, the Japanese squadron leader on the other side did not come back and continued to chase in the same direction.
One of his men quickly reminded.
"Report to the Captain, the 4th Squadron encountered enemy artillery bombardment. Do we need to go over to support them?"
"Support?! Why should we go over there to support? Wouldn't it be better to let them attract the enemy artillery over there? At this moment, the enemy artillery is bombing his squadron, so we will definitely not encounter artillery here! Therefore, we have to hurry up and kill these people in front! We must not let down the good intentions of the Fourth Squadron!"
The third squadron leader had a sly smile on his face.
Because judging from the footprints, there are only six people here.
He just needs to kill these six people first, and then find a way to go around behind the enemy artillery or to the flank. When the enemy opens fire, he will launch a fierce artillery bombardment on them, which will definitely destroy the enemy's artillery position in one fell swoop and catch all the people here.
However, although Yuan Shuai and his group only had six people, they were very fast.
At this point, they were already far behind.
Marshal Yuan's original intention was to disperse the forces of the Japanese puppet army and then use infantry artillery and mortars to kill the puppet army and artillery in another direction.
But who would have thought that the cunning captain of the Fourth Squadron did not lead the large force to advance again, but only let a squad of puppet soldiers conduct reconnaissance in the front.
Therefore, the Japanese Fourth Squadron and the puppet army did not enter the range of Du Dafeng's mortar at point B.
However, Du Dafeng had already seen through the telescope that a squad of puppet soldiers were crouching and searching in the direction of Jack's retreat.
"Damn it, why are there only one squad of puppet soldiers here?"
"Ah, no way! Didn't the other devils and puppet troops come?"
Du Xiaofeng and others gritted their teeth in anger.
"If he doesn't come, quickly contact the boss on the radio and ask what to do next!"
The signalman quickly contacted Tie Xiaogang using the radio.
Tie Xiaogang received the news and quickly spoke to Yuan Shuai.
"Boss, the situation is not good. The Japs have only sent a squad of puppet soldiers to chase Jack's artillery in the front. The people behind them have probably stopped!"
"The damn Japanese are so cunning!"
Yuan Shuai stopped, gasped for breath, looked up at the sun in the sky, and then glanced at his watch.
Seeing that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, he could only say helplessly.
"Since their main force didn't follow up, let's notify Jack to find a place to ambush and kill the pursuing puppet soldiers with guns! Then defend on the spot! Notify Du Dafeng to wait on the spot!"
Tie Xiaogang quickly contacted via radio.
Fu Yidao said as he turned around.
"Boss, what should we do here?"
"Keep walking the dogs until they're exhausted!"
"Should we plant a mine?"
"No, if we lay mines, the Japanese and puppet troops will get scared and stop pursuing us, and then we won't be able to run away! Keep running! Lead them in circles!"
"Okay! Keep running!"
Fu Yidao wiped the sweat off his face and continued running while shouting.
The Japanese puppet troops were extremely exhausted.
In one breath, he chased for five kilometers but still didn't catch up.
Everyone was so tired that they wanted to lie down.
Even the Japanese were so tired that they dragged their heavy feet and complained.
"Bagayalu, these guys can really run!"
"It's already five kilometers, why haven't we caught up yet?"
"Sir Lieutenant, how about we take a break? We brothers can't run any longer!"
One of the men quickly made suggestions to the Japanese squadron.
"Baga, take a rest, take a rest, eat, eat!"
The Japanese squadron leader was almost exhausted, and after saying this he lay on the ground gasping for breath.
When all the Japanese and puppet soldiers heard the order, they lay down one after another. Even though they were extremely hungry, they did not have the strength to grab the canned food.
Only after resting for five minutes did the Japanese puppet soldiers slowly get up and take out canned dry food and water...
