Chapter Thirteen Ambush (Part Two)

  It has to be said that when the Sino-Japanese War had just begun, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was still extremely strong. This small group of Japanese soldiers, after receiving a sudden attack, quickly reacted after the initial chaos. The three grenade launchers in the Japanese squad, under the command of the Japanese sergeant, quickly began to suppress the enemy with firepower.

  Boom, boom, boom! Three mortar shells were fired in a row, directly hitting the machine gun position of the "Knife Edge Brigade". Although the first round of attack was a bit off, the dust raised by the mortar still blocked the view of the machine gunner, causing the firepower to relax slightly.

  Several machine gunners were veterans of the Shanxi and Sichuan armies, who upon seeing their positions targeted by the devils' grenade launchers, picked up their machine guns and began to relocate.

  As the machine gun fire of the ambushing troops weakened, the little devil's squad leader and sergeant, with great joy, drew out their military swords, ready to command the Japanese army to start a counterattack.

  But just as the little devil's squad leader had just gotten up from the ground and was about to counterattack, a Springfield rifle bullet directly pierced his brain, the bullet passed through his head, directly blowing open the devil's squad leader's skull, brain matter mixed with blood and other body fluids splattered everywhere.

  Seeing his superior officer being shot, a Japanese army sergeant next to him immediately took over the command and shouted loudly in Japanese: "Counterattack, counterattack."

  However, he only lived a little longer than his superior officer. A rifle bullet of the same caliber also drilled into his head in the same position. This kid looked better when he died than his superior officer, after all, the bullet had excellent penetration power and directly pierced out a hole of the same size at the back of his brain. The Japanese sergeant followed his platoon leader to see King Yan.

  The two guns knocked down the little devil's command, and the devil's counterattack momentum stopped for a while. However, during this period, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong. In the absence of command, these well-trained old soldiers launched a counterattack on their own initiative.

  However, when several grenade throwers of the Little Devils were knocked out one after another, and the remaining two Type 92 machine guns were pinned down by the bayonet troops' machine guns, the annihilation of this Japanese army unit was already sealed.

  Qin Wei consecutively took out 4 grenade launchers, and for a time, the area around the grenade launcher became a dead zone for the little devils. As soon as one of them approached, they would definitely be shot down by bullets flying from who-knows-where, with a miserable and brutal death, mostly with a single bullet to the head.

  After several people died, the devils also knew that their opponents were aiming at the grenade launcher with a divine gun, so they didn't rush up desperately anymore, but instead lay on the ground or hid under the car and engaged in a shootout with their opponents.

  With such a shot, the gap between the two sides was revealed. The old soldier was good, and several old soldiers who had been fighting for many years were accurate in their shooting, every bullet hitting flesh, and as soon as the gun fired, there would be little devils falling down.

  But the new recruits were not so lucky. As soon as they raised their bodies a little, the devils' bullets would definitely find them.

  However, the good luck of the little ghost also ended here. When Qin Wei and Chen Da-kui had their hands free to take turns calling out the little ghost's name, the little ghost's doomsday arrived.

  After annihilating the devils' machine guns, several machine guns of the 'Knife Edge Brigade' started to suppress firepower. After a few rounds of sweeping fire, the devils' firepower weakened a lot.

  Qin Wei saw that the timing was ripe and ordered: "Chen Daming, you and your guard squad move out, take the lead and clear out the remaining devils for me. Be careful, these devils like to pretend to be dead and then shoot from the dark."

  "Don't worry, Captain, the little devils who can take me down with a lucky shot haven't been born yet." Chen Daming said coldly, holding up his 'flower-shaped machine gun'.

  "You little rascal, be careful too. If it can be solved with bullets, use bullets to solve it." Qin Wei didn't even turn his head back and directly shot a ghost who was lying on the ground and resisting desperately, then shouted loudly.

  "Just you wait and see, Qin Ge." Before the words had even finished, Chen Daming led the guard squad in leaping out of the trenches and charging towards the battlefield where the fierce fighting was still underway.

  Several people crouched down, moving in a zigzag pattern, holding submachine guns and quickly approaching the battlefield.

  Chen Da-kui and Qin Wei's two guns kept searching for possible threats to several people.

  After a swift approach to the battlefield, several submachine guns became the nightmare of the little devils who were still alive. Those little devils hiding under cars, by the roadside, and behind rocks, one by one became dead devils in the face of submachine guns, pistols, and hand grenades.

  Twenty minutes later, after Chen Daming made a safe gesture on the battlefield, Qin Wei let out a long sigh and smiled: "Alright, everyone quickly clean up the battlefield. Also, let the new recruits see some blood, have them give those little devils individual finishing blows. We don't want any prisoners."

  Ma Hong and several company commanders nodded heavily and turned around to lead their troops into battle.

  The new recruits with bayonets looked at the little devils who died in all directions, some of whom could not help but feel nauseous and started vomiting.

  At one time, vomiting sounds rose and fell, the entire battlefield was filled with vomiting sounds.

  But these new recruits, under the leadership of the old soldiers, directly began to give those corpses individual finishing blows, letting these young men see some blood. However, the new recruits were still new recruits, looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, some with broken arms and legs, some with internal organs spilled out, some with heads that could no longer be made out as a whole number, they turned pale, their legs trembling, their faces filled with terror, following the instructions of the old soldiers to give each corpse a finishing blow.

  The ambush lasted for a short time, the entire battle did not exceed 40 minutes, which made all the participants feel that the devils were not scary at all. Even those Sichuan and Shanxi troops who had been beaten by the devils before and fled in disarray felt that fighting against the devils was effortless today.

  Everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield. Several damaged cars were loaded with goods and transferred to other cars. In the end, a total of 10 trucks were fully loaded with goods.

  Looking at the fully loaded car, Qin Wei scratched his head and said to Ma Hong: "Old Ma, how are we going to take away so many things?"

  "Of course it's open." Ma Hong also looked at the ten cars of materials with shining eyes.

  "Nonsense, I know that too. But in our team, there are only a few people who can drive a car, and I'm one of them. How many others can do it?" Qin Wei rolled his eyes at Ma Hong, "I also know these are good things, but who can drive a car?"

  "Haha, you didn't know that, did you? Brothers, come out and show the squad leader a hand." As he spoke, several Sichuan soldiers who were with Ma Hong walked out, skillfully opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. Then, under Qin Wei's shocked face, the car slowly started moving.

  "What's going on here? How can all of you drive cars?" Qin Wei couldn't believe his eyes, these Sichuan troops could all drive cars, was this a myth or what?

  Looking at Qin Wei's shocked face, Ma Hong said with great satisfaction: "Branch leader, you didn't know this, did you? Our company was basically made up of drivers from all over Sichuan before we joined the army. We are the vanguard of the whole army. If we can't drive a car, what kind of vanguard would we be? The predecessor of our regiment was the automobile company of the 47th Army."

  Qin Wei looked at Ma Hong with a black face, who was being complacent. What the hell is this? In this era, drivers are also considered craftsmen. I didn't expect the 47th Army to actually set up a team of drivers as an advance guard unit. Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.

  Alright, Qin Wei admitted that he was shocked, but after all, this is a good thing. He ordered the troops to cover up the convoy and lift their injured and fallen comrades. These more than 100 people quickly disappeared into the mountains of southeastern Shanxi.

  All the way clearing the car's traces, not letting the little devils have a chance to track, the car drove to the nearest place from its secret base, and it couldn't go any further.

  Returned to the base and pulled out the mules and donkeys from the base, plus manual transportation, it took a whole day.
