Chapter 30

  It's not bad to say that the quality of this rocket launcher is really good. Twelve rockets, at least ten rockets hit the target. Only two rockets deviated slightly from the target, but the power of these ten rockets was not small either. Li Tie added a lot of high-explosive material inside in pursuit of a big explosion, making its explosive force several times stronger than that of ordinary shells.

  The powerful blast sent four of the six cars flying into the air, which then crashed heavily on the slope before rolling down to the valley. The other two did not fly but rolled directly into the valley.

  The Li family's rocket launcher is unstoppable wherever it goes.

  If the car was loaded with military supplies, and there were explosives or something, then a blast was certain. Li Tie had already covered his ears. However, unexpectedly, what flew out of the car wasn't ammunition boxes or canned goods, but rather some human-like objects. Of course, after flying out, they either fell to the ground, rolled around twice, and stopped moving, or directly smashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and didn't move again. It wasn't until the cars rolled into the mountain ditch that two of them caught fire, followed by explosions. At the time of the explosion, there were also some trash thrown out by the god of fire, like arms and legs.

  The trucks were loaded with troops who came to annihilate the Eighth Route Army, not supplies being sent to the front lines!

  Six Japanese devils, at least a company's strength. Before they could even see the Eighth Route Army, most of them went to meet Heavenly Auntie, and only a few were left, either with broken arms and legs or bleeding from all seven orifices, gasping for air, on their last breath.

  The devils who had just turned over the foot of the mountain and arrived at the other side of the mountain slope were stunned by this scene: six cars rolled into the mountain ditch together, the scene was really magnificent! Exciting! Cool! Those old hundred names originally walked in a listless manner, but now they seemed to have taken stimulants, each one was very spirited, and with a burst of energy, they drilled into the grass bushes by the side of the road. The grass bushes shook for a few times, and then there was no shadow of people. When the devils came back to their senses, the old hundred names had already run away without leaving any behind.

  The reactionaries, holding guns, rushed towards the mountain top where Li Tie and others were hiding. The rocket tail flame just now exposed the position of the Fox squad.

  A dozen or so devils, far from being a match for twenty-two men; this time they didn't even use rocket launchers.

  The devils charged forward while firing, and by the time they reached us, there were hardly any bullets left in their guns. Just at this moment, Li Tie and his men stood up, and the devils thought the Eighth Route Army was going to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them. Some of the devils, who only had a few bullets left, retreated back, holding their bayonets and charged forward.

  "Damn it!" Li Tie grunted, raising his submachine gun and firing a burst. The other team members followed suit, unleashing a hail of gunfire in a purely one-sided slaughter.

  Less than a minute later, more than ten devils went to see Tianzhao's aunt.

  Withdrawal

  The enemy's reinforcements will arrive soon, if we don't leave now we'll be surrounded. As for the battlefield, let's clean it up after we've driven the devils back.

  Li Tie led the Fox Team and disappeared into the thick bushes on the mountain.

  Just as the Fox Team had just left, the enemy's reinforcements arrived, which was quite fast.

  Believe that in the eyes of the devils' commander, no matter how strong the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness was, a company of devils must be able to hold on for one to two hours. But who would have thought that they couldn't even last a minute and were completely wiped out?

  In fact, the devil's supporting troops were just a few miles behind the car. The original idea was that as soon as the battle started, they would rush up quickly and surround the Eighth Route Army, then launch a pincer movement to wipe out this group of Eighth Route Army.

  Looking at the cars still burning in the mountain valley, there were bodies of devils everywhere on the hillside and weapons and ammunition thrown out from the cars. A gentle breeze blew over, bringing a smell of roasted meat, some devils couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, but suddenly thought that this must be the smell produced by their own companions being roasted in the car, and immediately started vomiting on one side.

  The leader of the devils is Watanabe.

  Watanabe stared blankly at the cars in the mountain valley, and was so shocked that he even forgot to give orders for the necessary treatment of the wounded soldiers.

  It wasn't until half a day later that he ordered his men to rescue and treat the wounded soldiers.

  Crawled up the mountain with his hands, saw more than a dozen soldiers being collectively shot and killed at the top of the mountain.

  The dense bullet holes on these devils' bodies told Watanabe how intense the firepower was that this small squad of devils had suffered.

  Walking a few more steps forward, more than 20 individual fortifications were lined up in a row, with more than 10 paper tubes scattered on the ground. I don't know what they are used for, but both ends of the tube inside have been burned black by fire. Is this the secret weapon to destroy cars?

  Watanabe picked up a paper tube. No matter how he looked at it, there was no high-tech inside, just a simple paper tube. From one end to the other, there were no mechanisms inside.

  He threw away the paper tube in his hand and looked at the direction where the fox team disappeared, then he fiercely waved his hand towards the troops behind him.

  The devils and puppet troops immediately followed in droves along the direction of the trail left by the fox.

  After crossing several mountains, I finally saw the figure in front of me, and a few people disappeared into the mountain forest in an instant.

  The devils and puppet troops quickly caught up.

  Just as they were about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly a burst of gunfire rang out, and the devils and puppet soldiers fell down in a heap.

  The eight-route army's standard shooting method is to fire in a scattered manner.

  The troops stationed here must be the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

  Watanabe was overjoyed and ordered his troops to counterattack.

  Immediately, the mountain forest transmitted the devils' machine gun sweep sound, interspersed with grenade launchers throwing out hand grenades exploding sounds.

  After two volleys of rifle fire echoed through the mountains, it stopped.

  After a round of bombing, the devils rushed to the top of the mountain and occupied it. Contrary to their expectations, there were no corpses of the Eighth Route Army on the top of the mountain, only a small amount of bloodstains.

  The Eighth Route Army withdrew.

  "Pursue!"

  Watanabe gave a wave of his sword and the oni charged forward.

  The devils continued to chase forward.

  In this way, the Eighth Route Army was retreating while fighting, and the devils were pursuing while attacking, soon they arrived at the encirclement of Er Gou District Chief.

  This is relatively larger valley nearby.

  The devils have entered the encirclement.

  "Charge!" The captain of the Second Dog Squad gave the order.

  Machine guns, rifles and hand grenades flew towards the devils like they were free.

  Watanabe only then took a look, the mountain slope on all four sides, at least three were firing ammunition towards himself, and in the direction he came from, it seemed like there was someone moving in that direction, apparently wanting to surround him, thoroughly eliminating him.

  No wonder it's an old devil. Watanabe took a look at this momentum and immediately understood his situation, if he didn't react quickly, then he would become the history of the empire.

  Watanabe commanded with a wave of his sword, "Withdraw!"

  The devils and puppet troops quickly retreated along their original route, like a yellow tide flowing backwards.

  Watching the devils about to run out of their own encirclement, Er Gouzi became anxious.

  "Artillery squad, this is Zhao Ergou, fire at the designated target." Ergou yelled into the phone.

  "How much?" Zhang Dazhu asked.

  "I won't stop until I've said everything."

  As soon as the words fell, the shells of the Type 92 infantry gun landed among the devils and puppet troops. At that time, the enemy's arms and legs were blown up and flew everywhere.

  But now the devils and puppet troops can't afford to hide, as long as they escape from this place, they can keep their lives safe, if they don't escape, they will have to stay here. In order to run faster, many puppet troops threw away their weapons in hand, even throwing away all the things that could be thrown away on their bodies. When escaping back to the county town, only a set of clothes was left on the body, and there were no other external objects at all.

  The two infantry guns did not stop firing, and when the four boxes of shells were finished, the devils finally escaped. As for the puppet army, they had run out early, and their two short legs ran faster than those of the devils.

  The two dogs finally ordered the cessation of the bombardment.

  Looking at the mountains and fields, everywhere can be seen the bodies of devils and puppet troops, the excitement on the face of Er Gou district captain is beyond mention.

  "Old Lin, it's been many years since I've had such a satisfying battle."

  "Yes, we've never fired a shot before, it's always been the enemy's shells falling on our heads. Today, finally, our shells are falling on their heads."

  Instructor Lin Sihai also sighed.

  The captain of the Second Dog District ordered a pursuit, but to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall in desperation. After all, their own numbers were not particularly large. Although the devils had suffered heavy casualties, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and if the enemy launches another countercharge, they might suffer even greater losses.

  The Fox Team is the main force of pursuit. Although there are few people in the Fox Team, they have strong firepower. In case the enemy counterattacks, they can escape with the smallest target.

  When the devils fled from the valley, the fox team caught up with them.

  The devils behind would get a bayonet if they weren't careful, the puppet troops saw it and started shouting: "The Eighth Route Army is coming, the Eighth Route Army is coming, one man with a machine gun, if you don't run away, you're done for."

  In this way, the devils and puppet troops ran even faster.

  They ran nearly ten miles in one breath, and the puppet troops were exhausted. The enemy's stronghold was just ahead, and the faster devils had already reached the gate of the stronghold.

  The devils unloaded all the supplies at this stronghold and then loaded up the devils' preparations to ambush the Eighth Route Army.

  Just as the devils and puppet troops let out a sigh of relief, thinking they could rest once they reached their stronghold, suddenly, a fierce explosion erupted among the devils, sending nearby devils flying into the air.

  What shocked the devils and puppet troops even more was that something unexpected happened - a cannon tower, which had always been thought to be solid and durable, like an impregnable fortress, suddenly had a flame dragon flying out from its gate, followed by a loud explosion, and after a thick smoke with flames, the cannon tower disappeared, leaving only a pile of ruins.

  The devils and puppet troops were shocked, suddenly woke up, and even the things in the artillery tower couldn't be collected. They fled towards the county town with their short legs, at this time they could only blame themselves for lacking two more legs. Along the way, countless light and heavy weapons were abandoned.
